months ago today was denied seat
in the House, this morning showed
up at the House barbershop, got a
shave, q massage and a shine and
presented himself at noon to the
Speaker, demanding that he be given
q seat.
Members OF the House, however.
had prepared for Berger's coming
since his reelection from the Fifth
Wisconsin district Congressman
Dallinger offered a resolution holding
that Berger had been denied his seat
on November 10 last because OF viola
tion Of the espionage law and for
other causes and that the facts that
were true at that time are true now.
There will be an hours debate on
the resolution. Mr.. Dallinger. who
opened the discussion, said that Ber-
ger was not being put out because
he was a Socialist, but because he had
violated a law Of the United States,
and had publicly said he would do
so again IL given the opportunity.
Should any member of the House
desire to oppose the passage of the
resolution he will be given thirty
minutes in which to do so. ...
The night against Berger came up
in the House as privileged question.
Berger reached Washington this
morning and interviewed Speaker Gil
lett as to plans OF the House in his
case.
THE House Is ready to act now. II
can act today" said the Speaker.
"All right, am ready" said Berger
The House machinery was set in
