the United States Grain corporation.
A shipper who desires to ship to
any particular market will have to
apply through the railroad agent at
the point of origin to the grain con-
troll committee at that market for
the permit to ship. If that market
is not congested, the permit will at
once be issued. Hines argues that
this is the only possible way in which
the railroad equipment can be kept
continuously at work at high efficien-
cy, as it distributes the traffic before
congestion can start.
BERGER WATTS FOR COMMITTEE
Victor L. Berger, the lone So
cailist elected to the present con-
gress, has been given an office room
and the use of the postal frank by
common consent of the house, al
though he is deprived, by resolution
adopted on the opening day of the
session, of his right to speak or vote.
He is waiting for the special commit
tee of nine members, headed by Rep
resentative Dallinger of Massachu-
sets, to begin its inquiry into his

Look at those spittoons!"
The evidence of southern and west
ern craftsmanship upon and around
the congressional cuspidors was I'M
mistakable; good many statesmen
had been in to chat.
JEW-BAITING HERE TOO
Jew-baiting has been taken up as
congressional pastime by Represen-
tative Albert Johnson of Hoquiam
Wash, who has hitherto reserved his
anathemas for labor agitators, the
Bolsheviki and radicals generally
Whether it be due to the fact that
Jewish wage-workers are almost uni
versally trade unionists, or to some
other reason, Johnson offered these
remarks, delivered May 26 and print
ed on page 283 of the Congressional
:, Record for the new session:
