FINAL SESSION
Of Present Congress Wrest-
ling With immigration
Bills
- - - "a "a

Washington last session of
the sixty-sixth congress convened De-
cember 6. 1t will adjourn sine die on
March 4 next The sixty-seventh
congress, whose members were elect
ed last month, will not convene in
regular session until the first Mon
day Of December next. 1t is generally
agreed, however, that Mr.. Harding
will call special session of the new
congress shortly after his inaugur-
alton.
The present session Of congress is
known as the 'short session" and will
pass appropriation bills, although
other bills will be presented and urg-
ed. In appropriation legislation, how
ever, can be included questions of far
reaching effect. In the judiciary ap-
preparation bill, for instance, attempts
have been made to class unions as
trusts.
One of the major question that
will be considered by this congress is
immigration. Bills have been intro
duced in both branches TO stop immi-
grafton for two years and for six
months. The house committee on i'm
migration has investigated this ques-
ton, ard in its report favoring re-
striction, says:
"A study of the new immigration
from central Europe convinced sever
al members of the immigration com
mittee that the arriving immigrants
are not those who might go to the
farms, that they are not agricultur-
lists, but mainly additional popula-
tion for our principal coastal cities
and congested industrial districts.
Members of the committee questioned
many immigrants at Ellis island and
found that most Of them were bound
for cities such as New York, Detroit,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland
and others, already crying out be-
cause of unemployment and lack Of
housing facilities"

ECONOMIC
BLOCKADE
New Name For Boycott Us
ed By League of Ma
tiOn's Assembly

Washington Economic blockade"
is the diplomatic term used by the
league of nations assembly to de-
scribe the old-fashioned boycott of
organized labor
A subcommittee of the assembly,
now in session at Geneva, Switzer-
land, has recommended that the
economic blockade" be used against
members of the league breaking the
covenant.
The assembly consists of repre-
sentatives of the Al nations which
have subscribed to the leagues COW
enant or agreement. The council of
the league, which is limited to the rep
resentatives of nine nations-in prac-
tice eight, as the United States is not
Included has held previous meet
ings.
The decisions Of the assembly are
tentative. To date Austria is the
only enemy country that has been
admitted to the league. Bulgaria has
applied for admission, but this is OPP
posed by Roumania and Jugo-Slavia
on the ground that the applicant has
rot fulfilled treaty obligations. Ar
gentina has withdrawn because of
the assen1bly's rejection of proposals.
which included provision for the ad-
mission of all countries and re-
arrangement of the manner in which
members of the important council
shall be elected
The assembly has appointed COM
mittee to study the question of dis
armament The United States has
been invited to appoint represen-
tative to sit with the committee 'in a
consultative capacity" The invita-
tion states that the function of the
committee is only advisory and that
the United States will not be bound
by the report.
The members of the assembly have
no illusions about a sudden general
disarmament. Senator Henri La Fon-
taine, of Belgium, winner of the Nobel
peace prie, is quoted as follows:
81 must tell the peoples frankly
that the time for disarmament has
not yet come. In the covenant clause
dealing with disarmament it is ex-
pressly stated that ornaments shall
be reduced But in order that this
reduction may begin, the world must
acquire new ideas about war. War
must be stopped The world must
first acquire the idea that war is a
crime"

the workers were utterly dependent
upon their employers.
There is great danger that the
whole nation will be harmed by this
campaign of few groups of strong
employers. To aim now at putting
irto greater subsection the workers
in industry is blind and foolhardy.
The radical movements and disturb
ances in Europe ought to hold les
son for the employers of America.
And the voice of the American peo-
pie ought to be raised in the endeav-
or to drive this lesson home.

LABOR UNIoNIsM

"Had it not been for trade union
ism," says Dr. J. P. Warbasse in Co
operation, "the workers today would
be laboring fourteen hours a day
They would be receiving wages just
sufficient to maintain an animal ex-
istence The workers would constitute
great class, denied schooling, and
the common decencies of life.
1--WE have to thank unionism," he
continues, "for saving humanity
from abiect slavery" The brave men
who organized unions a century ago
often went to prison for it. England
prosecuted and deported the best men
ia the kingdom" This criminal
class" was sent to Australia and New
Zealand because they were "agita-
tors" but they soon built up a civil
ization which astonished this world.
"One thing labor must realize" says
DR. Warbasse. THE forces which de-
sire profits out of the toll Of the work
ers are the forces which control the
means of expression and publicity
Trade unionism gave labor its first
lesson in the approaches to democracy
in industry. But autocracy in indus
try still exists and succeeds in making
labor believe that democracy in indus
try is wrong. And we now actually
witness the spectacle of labor men
end labor organizations compromising
with the enemies of labor to check the
onward movement towards industrial
democracy, which has now gained
such significant force
Never was there time since
unionism began when the solidarity of
labor was more necessary than now.
Never was it more important for la
Dor to be on its guard lest it be
beguiled into trusting its enemies and
neglecting its friends. Cooperation
needs the aid of labor with all its
strength; labor needs cooperation
still more urgently; but labor loses
its strength when it ignores the fun
damental fact that the worker and
not the capitalist should rule the
world"

CATHOLIC WELFARE COUNCIL
OPPOSES OPEN SHOP

The social action department of the
National Catholic Welfare Council
makes the following statement:
The "open shop" drive of certain
groups of American employers is be-
coming so strong that it threatens not
only the welfare Of the wage earners,
but the whole structure of industrial
peace and order. Employers some
times favor the "open shop" because
they do not want to be limited in the
employment of men to union mem
bers. But the present drive is not
Of that kind. The evidence shows that
in its organized form it is not merely
against the CLOSED shop" but against
unionism itself and particularly
against collective bargaining. OF
what avail is it for workers to be per-
mitted by their employers to become
members of unions, if the employers
viii not deal with the unions? The
workers might as well join golf clubs
as labor unions if the present open
shop" campaign is successful.
The "open shop" drive masks under
such names as "The American Plan
ara hides behind the pretense OF
American freedom. Yet its real pur-
pose is to destroy all effective labor
ur;ons, and thus subject the working
people to the complete domination OF
the employers. Should it succeed II
/ tie measure that is proponents hop
+ it will thrust far into the ranks of tn,
underpaid the body of American
working people.
The bishops of the National catL
Ole War Council who issued the pro
gram of social reconstruction said
ut is to be hoped that this right
the right of lsbor to organize and tt
deal with employers through represen
t9h, ,es will never again be called int
question by any considerable group q
employers. The archbishops anc
bishops Of the United States in theil
pastoral letter proclaimed again "tht
right of the workers to form anC
maintain the kind of organization that
/ is necessary and that will be most
effectual in securing their welfare"
During the war the National War
Labor Board recognized and protected
a genuine kind of "open shop" one
which assured the non-union man free
dom and the members of the union
the right Of collective bargaining.
That is not the kind Of open shop
for which the drive is now being
made.
The unions were necessary even
during the war when working people
found their labor in great demand.
They are still more imperative now,
and they must keep their strength
ard grow. Otherwise we shall see a
repetition Of the old bad days when

UPHOLD LABoR's RIGHTS

Justice Bennett, of the supreme
court of Portland, Oregon, is not in
sympathy with the theory that work
ers have a right to ask for moral
assistance, but when they are strong
enough to make that request effective
they shall be enjoined.
This is a favorite practice of anti
unionists, who talk of workers rights
as an abstract proposition when work
rs have no power.
1t would be idle and foolish-a cat
and mouse proposition and make a
plaything of the rights of laboring
men, said Justice Bennett, ito say
that they may do thing for the win
| ring of better conditions with perfect
right and lawfulness, as long as they
are too weak to win their cause, or to
effect their purpose; but, as soon as
they are combined in such way and
with sufficient strength as to have a
chance to win-suffcient strength to
be likely to cause the employer to
yield and give them better conditions
asked for, it Immediately becomes un-
lawful"
The justice insisted that if an in.
dividual workman has the right to in
stitute boycott against his employ
er, and persuade others to quit his
employment, a collection of worker:
have the same right. Justice Bennett
made the point that coercion of every
character is not unlawful, and that al
citizens practice moral coercion to {
greater or less extent in everyday
life. The jurist insisted that labor
had the same right, either as individ
uals or collectively

TAXES

Westinghouse Investigation by ex-

ernment has lost 81 ,0O0,0 100000 in de-
linquent taxes.
Thousands of individuals and cor
porations were so generous to them
selves in stating their income that
the government is now checking up.
1t is stated some corporations scaled
down their payments as much as
81 100000 under the amount actually
due the government. In many in
stances individuals fell short of maxi
ing correct statements, and thereby
saved themselves amounts ranging
from 100000 to S500,OO0 1t is stat
ed that the delinquents will be called

of this glaring violation of law have
not been announced.

Nationals Advance Agents Find Weather

Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
TAMPA Fla, February 24-With
Old Sol holding forth in a shocking
display of himself yesterday it didn't
take Mike Martin. heading the advance
party of Nationals to Tampa, long to
find the coolest spot in the local base
ball plant The top row of the grand
stand with a breeze to fan his brow
and the roof to intercept those eighty
degrees rays. He declared himself de-
lighted with the climate right off the
reel and told Nick Altrock that he
could investigate and report on the
diamond, but they both are joining in
a report on the sea trip south from
Baltimore. Mike says Nick fed the
fishes all the way down and Nick just
refrains from commenting on what
the trainer did, muttering something
about being too much of a gentleman
to tell tales out of school.
"But 1T won't do" said Martin last
night, discussing the sea trip. The
recommendations are poor and the food
worse. while Nick can testify that the
elements were just naturally rotten.
The iron horse for mine the next time
l have a hankering for the land of
flowers" So it looks like some more
graft for the Railroad Administration,
one thousand miles and no mileage
books.
Mike and Nick and Fred Harvey
cutter, fan and tourist, arrived in one
parcel, so to speak. Last night they
were drinking ice water in Mike 8
room. 1t was too warm for anything
else, even if they had managed to
smuggle it by the Prosi crew.
Imagine their surprise when they
found two notables already here, no
less personages than Harry Courtney,
who says he's here for regular berth
this season, and Joe Engel. who ad-
mits he's through with scouting. His
old wing looks like it might get right
once again. and Joe is anxious for the
bell to ring. Harry was the frst ar
rival, sneaking down from North
Carolina Friday and keeping lncog
with as intense interest as Kaiser
Bill might display hereabouts.

know the big southpaw had been SICK
to look at him basking in this sun
shine. He says he has pucked up
eighteen pounds since fall, and he
must have, for he's carrying close to
1870 right now and Mike is actually
pleased. Engel also is looking fine.
The boys wing was SO bad that he
spent most of last season scouting,
but he figures some more days like
the two he's had here will take the
kinks out in fine shape if any are left
