President Grant called a special
session of the Senate of the Forty
fourth Congress. to meet on the 5th
of March, 1875. The most interesting
member of the Senate at that session
was Andrew John
Andrew Johnson son of Tennesse, 3ss.
as q Senator. OF the United
States in success
sion to Abraham Lincoln. After his
impeachment and acauittal on trial,
he returned at the close of his term
as President to Tennessee. where he
successively ran for the Senate and
House of Representatives and was de-
feated. In November, 1874, however.
he ran again for the Senate Is an
independent and WAS elected. The
Star Of March s. 1875. says:
Senator Johnson of Tennessee has
requested his friends to restrain from
any demonstrations in his honor at
this time, as he much prefers to re-
ceive their congratulations in quiet
way. 1t is understood that he pur-
posely delayed coming to Washing
ton until the last moment in order TO
avoid the ovation which he had rea-
son to believe his friends were pre-
pairing for him"
In the same issue of The Star is
reprinted an interview with Senator
Johnson from the New York Tribune:
II can give no pledge of my future
course / cannot say that / VIII act
with one party or with the other. We
have too much of party, and l pro-
pose TO bind myself in advance to no
theory of party policy. / have never
done so in the past and l do not in
tend to do so in the future. 1 snail
support such measures as appear in
my Judgment best for the country
caring not whether II Is Democratic
measure or whether II Is supported
by Republicans. / will never place
myself in a position where / must do
a thing because it is a party measure,
or oppose a thing at a partys dicta-
ton. l place the country above
party. The country has now nothing
TO do with my personal matters and
with what has passed. l have no
enemies to punish or friends to re-
ward. / have buried resentments and
have forgotten the ill-treatment of
individuals"
A few days after the special ses-
sion Senator Johnson delivered
speech in the Senate in which he
made a bitter though veiled attack
upon President Grant. At the close
of the special session he returned to
his home in Tennessee. On the 18th
of July, 1875, he suffered stroke OF
paralysis and on the 3lst he died.

The Star Of March 8, 1875, such ma

then in use. 1t was set up in the
basement of the Treasury Building
and It's operation was pronounced en-
tireIy satisfactory. From 100000 to
100000 of national bank notes
Weighing about 900 pounds. were
daily consumed by the engine, its
contents being reduced to g. homogen-
Gus pulp in about 80 minutes. 1t was
expected that several thousand dol
lars would annually be saved to the
Government by the sale of the pulp
resulting from this process.
Visitors to Washington a few dec
AIDES ago could purchase at souve-
mir stores small models of the wash

other structures made of this money

trinkets were allowed to purchase
from the Treasury. In after years
this practice was discontinued.
Some years ago the maceration OF
old notes was abandoned when q

Now bills that can no longer be
cleansed and continued in circulation
are destroyed by fire.

Washington General
Membership Meeting

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Comrade
A. Jakira, district organizer, address,
ed a general membership meeting of
Washington local. This was Comrade
Jakira's first visit to this city and
nearly every member was present.
The meeting did not adjourn until

Importance were discussed and acted

$250.00 was pledged by members who
were present, and notes signed for
this amount. s.
A committee was elected to organ
ize a Labor Defense Council with in
structions to draw up a letter to be
sent to all local labor unions. The
committee consists of Comrades Pearl
man, Macintosh and Puzrin. The
secretaries of the local branches were
instructed to supply each comrade
with a defense subscription list with
instructions to act.

corning all activities of the district,
including the situation in the anthra-
cite coal region; the industrial condi-
tions in Bethlehem and in other cities.
The shop nucleus question and many
other matters were explained by the

Senators Told by
Hughes Just Where
They Get OFF At
(av Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Secretary
Hughes has coldly informed the SEN
ate, in response TO its resolution faith
cred by Hiram Johnson, that the ne
gotiation Of the war reparation claims
at Paris was the business of the exc
cutive branch only. Thereby he sug-
gests that it is none Of the business
OF the senate to inquire what Ambas-
sador Kellogg said to the British and
French and Italian and Belgian repre-
sentatives in that parley.
This rebuff has hardened the resent
ment of the Johnson-Bo group in
the foreign relations committee to-
ward Hughes. The California senator
launched preliminary attack, Feb. 4,
on the Paris agreement itself. But
later, when the nomination of Kellogg
to be secretary Of state shall come
before the committee. the candidate
Will probably be called upon to ex-
plain precisely what he did in Paris,
under pain of possible filibuster and
rejection In the senate. Hughes may
conceal the written records of KEEL
logg's negotiations at Paris, but the
foreign relations committee has the
power to make Kellogg talk.

PHILADELPHIA
BALL FOR DAILY
WORKER COMING
Great Preparations to
Make it Huge Success
Especial to the Daily worker)


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. g.
Communists, sympathisers and friends
of the DAILY WORKER are making
preparations for the First Annual
DAILY WORKER Ball which will be
held Friday, Feb. 81 at the beautiful
New Traymore Hall, located at Co.
lumbia Ave. and Franklin street.
The response received from the
many labor unions and workers fra
ternal organizations indicate a huge
success for the ball as well as the
growing influence of the DAILY
WORKER among the labor organiza-
lions of the city.
A ball committee of As delegates
meets every Saturday afternoon at the
party headquarters, making plans and
working out the details that will make
this ball the greatest event ever held
by the labor movement in Philadel-
phia. Several surprises are in store
which the committee is not ready to
reveal at the present moment. One
of Philadelphia's finest orchestras has
been secured to furnish the music.
The Souvenier Program promises to
be true work of art Special car
toons are being prepared by Chicago
artists for the program.
The sale of tickets is proceeding
at an astounding rate and the interest
and enthusiasm displayed in the pre-
paratory work is a good sign of the
seriousness with which the comrades
take the task of building and financing
the DAILY WORKER.
All members of the Party, the Y. w.
L., the Trade Union Educational
League, as we'll as the many sym
pathisers and friends who have in the
past participated in the many sided
activities of the party will be present
at this ball to demonstrate their sup
port for the DAILY WORKER as well
as to enjoy festal evening, dancing,
singing and merrymaking. The great
banquet hall will be open during the
entire evening where plenty of tables
well filed with good thing to eat will
await the jolly rebels who tire of
dancing but whose appetites and
voices still remain fresh and lusty.

NC LEANS POST
IN WASHINGTON
SAFELY FASCIST
1t Gives Prince Caetani
Proper Farewell
az rhe Federated Prssal

WASHINGTON Feb. 8.-Ned Nc
Leans Washington Post, which be-
came convinced, in mid-January, that
Mussolini was a tyrant who must go,
and make way for constitutional
government under the Italian king, is
now safely fascist again. It's alarm
over the crushing out of free masonry
by Mussolini is forgotten, or has been
overcome by Latin argument.
'Italy's recovery from the infection
Of radical socialism," says an editor
ial Of Feb. 4, was accomplished by
the prompt and ruthless application
of patriotic power, energizing and
purifying the government and afford
ing to the people an opportunity to ex-
press their will"
Moreover, "The fascist overruled
the zealots who attempted to set up
a chimerical social scheme based
upon the overlordship of a single
class; they rallied around Mussolini
and enabled him to grasp the govern
ment and purge it of graft, extrava-
gance and tyranny. The people rule
in Italy as a result of the heroic SOL
idarity of the fascist"
This is in the nature of apology to
Mussolini, thru his departing envoy,
Caetsni, for the earlier editorial pro-
nouncing doom upon the despot. Fas-
cism in Washington is looking up.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S,AWhile the
house considers the religious garb
bill received favorably Thursday,
members Of the ku klux khan faction
were awaiting final verdict to deter
mine advisability of introducing
measures of a similar nature, accord
ing to proponents of the bill today.
The khan bloc objects to women
teachers wearing religious garb,
which they say is prevalent in Dear

holding of schools in connection with,
or adjacent to church buildings is
also a target for future attack, it is
said.
Thursday the house, by vote of

of the educational committee favoring
passage of the Cooper bill, the khan
measure prohibiting the wearing of
religious dress by school teachers.
Cooper had previously introduced
bill prohibiting the wearing of even

DIST. s HAS PROGRAM OF WORK

z. City central committees attent
ion: In order to educate and organize
the party membership so that men,
bers will enter and carry on the party
campaigns in a full Communist spirit
all city central committees, by order
OF the G. e. c., are to hold member
ship meetings. The district organizer
will address these membership meet
ings. A special letter will go forward
to the ten city central committees in
this district advising them of the op-
proximate dates for their meetings.
8. The district tax: We fully real.
lie that the party branches and mem
bers are burdened with many calls for
money. But the district work must be-
financed. The district tax is not a
temporary levy, but a permanent tax
which should be considered by all
branches in this light 1t has the en-
dorsement of the c. E. c. of our party.
IL is not heavy tax, branches with
less than Is members only having to
pay $1.OO month, branches with
more than Is members having to nav
$500 month. This does not prohibit
the large branches that have from TX
70 Iz0 members from paying more.
Payment of the district tax by your
branch must be made a special order
OF business at the next meeting. Citv
central committees will give this at
tention.
3. The more readers we get for the
DAILY WORKER the larger our partv
Will grow. We all want to increase the
English speaking membership of our
party. One best way is to get addition
al DAILY WORKER readers all the
time.

this district that have not vet helped
TO insure the DAILY WORKER for
1925 Every branch that has not
bought and sold insurance policies as
yet knows that it has not, and know
ing it, should Immediately rectify this
oversight.
IL. A new Hungarian branch has
been organized in DiIlonvale. new
Russian branch in Youngstown; a new
Greek branch in East YOUNGSTOWN: a
new Hungarian branch in Martins
Ferry; new Hungarian branch at
Braton; an English branch is in pro-
cess of formation in Warren. The
Lima English branch, organized some
weeks ago, is beginning to function
actively.
H. The subscription lists of the
workers Party press will soon be sent
to all locals and unaffiliated branches.
A card file should be made of these
lists to which other names should be

out by the undersigned as the new

that every local, branch and member
