There was so much routine business to
be transacted at the first session of the
associations annual meeting. at @. A. r.
Hall, last night. that the election Of offi-
GERS was postponed.
President William E. Russell said in
his annual address:
Organization is necessary to obtain a
retirement bill from Congress. II We
affiliate with the American Federation
Of Labor. We shall soon have a retire.
ment bill that will be entirely satisfactory
to government employees"
Mr.. Russell referred to the present
system of dismissal, especially with re-
gard to the Postoffice clerks who have
been dismissed because they worked so
long that they had become inefficient.
Il hope that soon We will have in the

do away with the system by which one

torney, judge and executioner," he said.
A resolution by which the clerks re-
tired because of advanced age would be

able" retirement bill, was approved.

COXEY MAKES Speech
FROM Capitol STEPS
Throng. Including Many Consressmen.
Listens to General of
Army of Ten."
MAUD" THE MULE, UNRULY

Twenty years ago Gen. Jacob s. Coxey
was chased OF the grass Of the Capitol
Grounds arrested and Jailed for trying
to speak from the steps on the east front
OF the Capitol, where Presidents are in
augurated. Yesterday a crowd OF 1.5O0
persons gathered on the east plaza of the
Capitol to witness the arrival of the
"geperaf" and his army of ten" includ-
ing Maud. the mule. that took part in
the hike from start to finish.
We have gained great deal"
shrieked Coxey, '.in being permitted to
assemble on these steps. a privilege that
was denied US twenty years ago."
Coxey went on to say that he was ap-
pealing to reason, Eot to prejudice, and
that industrial peace would be delayed
just as long as plutocrats were permitted
to collect interest on bonds and dividends
on stocks. The speech was interrupted
when Maud bit a chunk out of the
shoulder Of a pony ridden by the small
son Of Coxey. who accompanied his
father. Coxey tharked his hearers for
their attention. withdrew to the Capitol.
and the crowd dispersed. Members of
the House and the Senate heard Coxey's
speech. r..
Gen" Coxey and his struggling
army" of nine bivouaced under a big
oak tree awaiting the generals" speech.
When the army halted within a few
hundred yards Of the Capitol a curious
crowd surrounded it. Two score members
of Congress left their seats when tie
sound Of Coxey's bugle reverberated
through the Capitol Grounds.
Coxey spoke for an hour and fifteen
minutes. His address was the 10th since
he left Massillon.
Il am neither a Democrat nor q Re-
publican" he said, but 1 want to say
that the Democratic currency bill is only
of benefit to bankers and does not help
the people. All / need say about the
Colorado mine strike Is that IL young
John d. Rockefeller is still called Chris
tian. hell is paved with that kind Of
Christians. The only way to settle the
Mexican situation is to make Rockefeller.
Guggenheim, and the other men with
interests in Mexico go down there and
fight their own battles.
Conditions in this country today are
worse than they were before the civil
war. and the only way to relieve these
conditions Is to form one great indus
trial organization to be used politically
to get the kind of laws We need. Govern
ment ownership is inevitable. The Presi-
dent has Just appointed two new members
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
and these two members who have not
heard the evidence, are going to carry
out the Presidents wishes and see that

Coxey pleaded for laws providing for
the issuance of legal tender and the
establishment of banks to loan money at
. per cent, permitting communities to
issue noninterest-b bearing bonds and pro-
viding for Federal ownership Of public
utilities.
The problem of the unemployed will be

So firmly established in operatic roper
tory has Madam Butterfly become. SO
much a matter of course is Its appear
,anee in the annual Ahorn program. that
II is strange to recall how few seasons
have passed since Puccini first introduced
to the public his fascinating musical ver-
sion of the tragic Japanese-American
story. A large audience at the National
Theater last night saw the opening per-
formance of the opera, produced with all
the excellencies Of cast. chorus, orches-
ira, and equipment that experience has
taught local music lovers to expect at
the hands of Messrs Aborn. The keen
interest and absorbed attention with
which the auditors followed the richly
colored and poignantly pathetic score are
sufficient to forbid any suggestion that
the operas popularity may be passing.
The principal singers in last nights
cast have long since won the lasting ia
vor Of Washington audiences. Miss Aida
Hemmfs splendid qualities Of voice and
dramatic action have often been devoted
to the exacting role Of Butterfly, and her
rendition of the exquisitely tender pas
sages is one Of her most notable achieve
ments
The rich and powerful tenor of Mr.
Henry Taylor is equally familiar in the
role Of Pinkerton, and he has COM
