"As the responsible heads of rail-

ing more than two million workers,
we protest most earnestly and most
emphatically against the proposed
adjournment of congress next Satur-
day. in accordance with the plan re-
ported in the public press. We call
attention to the fact that despite the
revelations as to the profteer1ns
scandal congress has done nothing 70
check the evil or to punish the evil
doors: that the cost Of living con
tinues to advance without single
remedial measure having been pass
ed, and that there has not been even
serious consideration Of constructive
legislation dealing with the serious
problem OF industrial unrest. In the
circumstances it appears to US in
credible that the responsible leaders
OF the government at Washington
can assent to this seeming agree
ment to continuation Of a do-nothing
policy which means that the grave
economic problems Of the people are
to be made the playthings of politics

had been added to it and that it was
a gain in working order. He charged
the republican national committee
favored Lowden and that an attempt
was being made, by seating Lowdsn
delegates, to equalize the Wood and
