Berlin Shorn of Power
None of Important Posts
Given Delegates From
Capital at Convention

BERLIN, Dec. 16 (By The Associated
Press) The Central Congress of Dele
gates from Soldiers and Workmen's
Councils from many parts of Germany
opened to-day in the building formerly
used by the Prussian Diet. The devel-
opment Of the day was the Reputation
Of the Spartacus extremists.
There were three women among the
$50 delegates. During the organization
Of the Congress it became evident that
the Independent Socialists and the
Spartacus group were greatly outnum-
bered. None Of the important posts in
the Congress were given to delegates
from Berlin.
The Spartacus group made futile
attempt to intimidate the Congress.
Early in the session a resolution was
submitted that DR.. Karl Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg, leaders Of the Sparta
Gus group, be invited to attend the Con-
gress as guests with advisory powers
Twenty-Mlnute Uproar
Presentation Of the resolution caused
great tumult throughout the hail.
The followers of DR.. Liebknecht and
spectators in the gallery joined in the
uproar, which lasted twenty minutes
and threatened to result in various fist
fights. The resolution then was de-
feated, less than is per cent of the
delegates voting for it.
A contest is expected Tuesday when
the question of summonng a national
assembly comes up for discussion.
While Herr Mueller, chairman of the
Workmens Section of the Executive
Committee, was speaking, the chairman
of the Congress interrupted to say:
There is comrade present who
wishes to submit communications
The newcomer announced that he rep
resented 100000 workmen, who were
then gathered outside the Diet build
ing. He read list of demands identi-
cal with the Spartacus programme, in
Guiding retention Of all power by the
Soldiers and Workmen's Councils, no
national assembly and the formation OF
a Red Guard. This aroused storm of
protest and in the general uproar the
intruder left the chamber.

The 25O,OoO workmen he said were
outside the building proved to be about
1000 from five factories, whom the
Liebknecht agents had induced to go on
strike temporarily.

the boy with a knockout punch, and
