DEFENSE OF BERGER
Congressional Refusal Means Party
Slap, Says Lawyer.

Washington. July 22.-Refusal OF a
seat of congress to Victor Berger, Mil
waukee Socialist, is tantamount to re-
fusing any member of the Socialist
party a seat, even though that party
cast a million votes. Henry +.
Cochems, Berger's attorney told the
house committee inquirlng into Berg
er's qualifications today.
His conduct Is consistent with the
policy OF his party" he said. IF he is
unfit to sit a million Socialists are
unfit to sit. Mr.. Berger represents the
citizens OF his district and he would
return again with as large or larger
vote even after this contest"
Cochems held that no exclusion OF a
member of congress can be made I'M
less formal act of congress is passed
for the particular case.

The committee finds that the most

Destruction of grapes and wine, ox-

to exist, the report says by virtue OF
high customs duties which discouragt
the importation of ordinary wines ant
ty the aid of the national banks. Re

tackled Before House Committee
Call u Aid For Those Who Opposed
America and Allies in World War.

Washfngtop, Dec. determination
of the attack on the Cummins rail-
road bill was promised today in the
senate. Senator IaFollette. republican,
of Wisconsin. still held the floor when
the senate adjourned and he showed
no signs Of relaxing his fight against
the measure, which he bitterly assail-
ed when he started speaking last Tues
day.
President Wilson has given no In
dications that he has deviated from his
announced intention OF returning the
roads In January regardless of what
legislation may be enacted by con-
gress.
Irish Bill Scored.
The irish question was again before
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs. George l.. Fox, Of New Haven.
resumed his attack on the Mason bill
providing for recognition Of the Irish
republic. Mr.. Fox said the reason
that Irish leaders had been champion
ed was that they had given aid to the
enemy during the war. He added.
and If men had done the same in this
country they would have got It In the
neck as quickly as the Irishmen did"
Mr.. Fox refuted the statement that
5000. 900 Americans of Irish blood were
asking recognition of the Irish repub-
lie. declaring the 1910 census showed
only 100000 males in the United States
who were born in Ireland. He said
some Roman Catholics had q whole
some contempt for the irish republic
He said if vote was taken in Ireland
with illiterates barred the result would
be overwhelming against the republic.
Bourke Cochran. Of New York, is to
make the concluding address in favor
Of the measure.

Of Being Penalized--complste Re-

Washington, Dec. 13--The nation
found partial relief from the rigid re-
strictions enforced by the fuel admin
istration as result Of the coal strike.
Regional directors have modified tho
restrictions by authority Of Director
Hines, who issued an order leaving
enforcement In their districts In their
discretion. Where local conditions
permitted regional directors revoked
restrictions and gave merchants an
opportunity to open for Christmas
trade The order was taken as an In
dication that the government regards
the strike as practically settled.
All industries may be supplied with
coal for emergency needs as far as
coal is available in any section for that
purpose under orders issued today by
the central coal committee. This or
der removed restrictions which have
forbidden coal to all those industries
except those in the preferred classes.
It Is expected that the new order will
result in almost complete resumption
Of manufacturing next week.
