POUNDING UNCLE JOE. From now

spectacle of Speaker Clark pounding bis

BERGER TO THE RESCUE.-Repre-
sentative Berger. the Wisconsin Socialist.
to-day asking for an investigation OF the
arrest and extradition Of John j. McNa-
mara, the Indianapolis labor man, charged
with dynamitinC. Berger alleges that Nc
Namara was deprived without due warrant
of law OF his constitutional rights Of liberty.
Representative Stanley, OF Kentucky, Demo-
crat. who never loses an opportunity TO
speak word for labor. said that the Ber-
ger resolution was not tenable. In that the
United States government has no turisdic-
ton over the arrest OF Mcnamara because
no United States officers were involved
Berger asked for special investigating
committee composed Of members OF the
House and Senate. TO report It's conclusions
without delay. Tomorrow Mr. Berger
will Introduce resolution providing for the
abolition Of the Senate. Poor old Senate.
