PREDICTS WORST PANIC
IN HISTORY OF U. S,
Speaker Gillett Warns Against
Imitation and Deplores Threats
of Labor Unions.

SURiNGF1ELD. Mass. February O.
The United States is facing the worst
financial crisis in its history. de-
clared Speaker Frederick e. GilIett
of the national House of Representa-
yves yesterday afternoon in an ad-
uress mere before 5000 persons. The
present high cost of living, he said,
is due largely to the greatly inffa ted
conditions due to the floating debt of
100000 100000 in Treasury certificates: :
and the principal means of bringing
1t down is by thrift on the part Of
the public. with the alternative that
this country will face panic similar
lie. he said. to practice due care,
eliminate luxuries. so that the present
conditions may be bettered.
Like the problem of years ago,
when the government was forced to
fight the trusts. the speaker said, to-
day Congress faces new question
"a question whether the combination
of the employed are not more threat
enins to our business life than that
of the employers
Continuing. he declared he believed
that labor unions are essential for
the protection of the men. but when
they go so far as to threaten for
their own advancement to stop the
wheels of the railroads and close the
output of the mines. without which
our whole industrial organization
would collapse, they, in their turn.
are exercising power which no gov
ernment can safely permit"
Speaking of Victor Berger and his
expulsion from Congress a second
time without having the facts brought
out, Speaker GilIett said such action
was justified. as the Constitution pro-
vides that no man once expelled from
his seat is eligible to return.

twenty-four hours.
Owing to the fact that most of the
portfolios from the Dist tpict have been
in the hands of the tabulators for a
long time, preliminary announcement
of the population OF the District,
which will also probably be official.
will be made by the census bureau
within week.

reau returned from Chicago today,
where he has been helping the super
visor in enumeration. and reported
that the midwest metropolis has sent
to the census bureau more than 1.900
portfolios out of a total number of

the same time, as New York has near
ly a relatively equal number OF port
