formal statement declaring she will
not call special session Of the Legis-

ment appropriations within due bounds
of economy"
She said she was handing this COM
munication to the press instead OF
writing a letter to each member of the
Legislature in order that the public
may have the benefit of the discus
sion.
SEES NO NEED.
Every effort is being made to put
the new highway law in full force
and effect and to convene the Legis-
lature at this time when the atmos-
phere is surcharged with prejudice
and political agitation, with the
prompting of political ambitions in
certain quarters, would in all prob
ability undo legislation passed after
mature elaboration and years of
study.
SHOULD it subsequently appear that
there is urgent need for special ses-
sion of the Legislature L will not
hesitate to take the Legislature into
my confidence and ask their aid in
the solution of any matter involving
the public good"

Universal Service Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. s.
President Coolidge today denounced
the coal strike, demanded an air
force commensurate with the prestige
of the nation. insisted upon whole
sale tax slashing and laid down a
series of constructive recommendations
for development of the natural re-
sources of the country in his annual
message to Congress.
In this, his first public utterance
since miners and operators broke off
their negotiations and ceased mining,
President Coolidge declared that the
strike is waging great harm to the
owner, workers and especially the
public.
ASKS COAL MINE LAWS.
with deposits of coal in this coun-
try capable of supplying its needs for
hundreds of years. inability to man
age and control this great resource
for the benefit of all concerned is very
close to a national economic failure"
he declared.
ut has been the subject Of repeated
investigation and reiterated recommen-
dalton. Yet the industry seems never
to have accepted modern methods of
adjusting differences between employ
ers and employees"
Asserting that the national govern
ment. by its repeated failures to en-
act effective legislation to protect the
public "has permitted itself to remain
so powerless that its only attitude
must be humble supplication," Presi'
dent Coolidge demanded the immediate
passage Of laws for the creation OF
commissions with authority to settle
the strike and to take full control
over the distribution of all available
coal.

worthy of America the President in

ance both for national defense and

Clearance Of Houston and

An end to the parking of automo-
biles ON Commerce and Houston streets
in the downtown area is seen by Fire
and Police Commissioner Phil Wright
as solution to the congested traffic
conditions in San Antonio.
In discussing the traffic problem
Tuesday, the commissioner stated that
San Antonio's rapid growth will neces-
state the stopping of parking on the
principal downtown traffic arteries
shortly.
"The city does not propose to make
such drastic regulations until neces-
sary, but with its growth they become
essential" Commissioner Wright said

The DAILY WORKER,
Chicago, Illinois.
Gentlemen:
Referring to the article In your
daily paper of Monday, February
2, headed "Premler Cab company
organizes for ku Klux KIan," we
deny positively that this is the case.
We further deny every allegation
made in that article from beginning
to end.
This company has had no hand
whatsoever nor has any of its Off
Gals, in the sending out Of litera.
ture or letters, asking Premier EN-.
ployes to become members Of the
ku klux khan. This propaganda has
been sent cut by our enemies in an
effort to demoraIlzc this company.
We do not sanction such tactics,
any more than we would take II up
on ourselves to advise employees to
Join the Mssons or Knights Of Col
Hmbus or any other organization.
No official or department head Of
Premier Taxi company is member
Of the ku kIux khan, from Its presl-
dent down the line. And II any ether
employe does belong, we do not
know 1t any more than we do II they
belong to any other order.
To prove that these charges are
false, we offer 100000 reward for
the arrest and conviction Of the per-
son or persons who have spread this
malicious propaganda. This Islander
Is undoubtedly the work Of our enc
niles who are seeking to demoraIlze
the employees Of Premier Taxi COM
pany and to break down their mo-
rale which they know is at a higher
standard right now. In all our gar
aees, we have posted signs notify

SENATORS TALK
LOUDLY ABOUT
KELLOGG'S PACT
Charge u. S. Drawn into

Especial 20 The Daily Workerl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Senatorial
dissatisfaction with the Paris agree
ment, whereby the United States be-
came an Official partner in the Dawes
plan in exchange for 2A per cent of
the money derived from Germany un-
der the Dawes plan,i and senatorial
fears over what the United States
may have been "let in for" broke
forth anew on the floor Of the senate
today.
It came in the form Of an impas-
stoned speech by Senator Hiram
Johnson, republican, California, con-
demning the agreement negotiated by
secretary Of state designate Kellogg,
and challenging the authorities to have
SO acted without consulting the senate.
Raises Important Question.
Johnson warned the senate that the
Paris agreement brought before it
two very grave and important ques-
TONS"
These were, he said, First, the
possibilities of what happened at
Paris, and second, the question pre-.
sented by the secretary Of state that
the executive department of the gov
eminent has the power to determine
without the consent of congress what
shall be done with a debt to the ma
tion."
johnson pointed out that the Eu-
ropean press, Immediately after the
signing of the Paris pact on January
IA, published Fluctuations and ar
ticles galore that America had altered
her foreign policy and was once more
in Europe"
mot only abroad" he added, "but
among our own publicists interested
in international aspects, it was said
that America had come to realize her
responsibilities and finally had taken
part in the collection of reparations
from Germany under the Dawes plan. ="
They'll Pray for Dawes Plan.
Johnson called attention to the
state department to explain Americas
position in the Paris pact and said
Americans should pray to god" that
the Dawes plan works out in its en-
tirety and wholly successfully" for if
so there may be no danger to this
country, "but if it works out i'll, if it
proves unsuccessful, the signers Of
this collection document will have to
do the collecting. Then will come the
time when you will curse the day
America became a pawtapF this col
lection document for European debts. /"
