ton Of the local strike. Serious 81
legations will be made of an alliance
between the city administration and
the employers to break the strike and
the police department will be charged
with unnecessary brutality in their
crack heads and no arrests policy.

Wyatt made the point blank charge
that D. M. Parry a former president

= -
WASHINGTON, Dec For the
fourth time since March 4, President
wilson today personally addressed a
ioInt session of congress. The oc-
fasion was the delivery of his annual
massage. On only one previous oc-
caslon has the interest in the execu-
lives utterances been so intense. To-
I davs message afforded the first OPP
( portunity to get real insight into
the policies OF the administration.
The Joint session was held in the
| house chamber, the front seats being
reserved for the members Of the SEN
ate who met IN their assembly room
and marched across the capital in
pairs headed by Vice. President Mar
shall and Sergeant at Arms Chas.
Higgins.
The president came directly to the
chamber from the white house In his
auto, remaining in the building only
long enough to deliver his address.
He was met at the door by a COM
mittee named by Vice President
Marshall and Speaker Champ Clark
and escorted to the speakers desk.
1t was announced that the prest-
dent plans to take up from time to
time with congress, matters of legis-
lative interest not covered by him
today. In addition he plans to visit
the capital for the PURPOSE of confer
ences With senators and representa-
tiyes Whenever he can find time.
This was the presidents fourth ap-
psarance before joint session of
congress Admission to the galleries
Of the house chamber was by card.
Because Of limited space members Of
the house received only a single
pasteboard. The elder statesmen
Of the senate each received two. And
for ths most part they were utilized
to secure admission of immed ale fam.
lilies of the members. The scramble
for tickets developed one picturesque
angle.
