SHORT SESSION
OF CONGRESS- IN
SESSION TODAY
Not Much Expected of
Lameduck Gathering

WASHINGTON; Dec. 5.---As lame
lame duck congress that has ever
met will convene here Monday, the
last session of the sixty-ninth con
gress. The session will last three
months, being forced to adjourn by
constitutional provision on March 4.
Won't Do Much.
No great faith is placed in what the
session will accomplish, a conscious
effort being made by leaders Of all
factions to prevent anything of an inn
portant nature being done. Regular
republicans and' reactionary demo
Gratis insist that there is no time for
anything except appropriation bills
and consideration of the Coolidge
Mellon tax reduction proposals. They
are attempting to steer clear Of every
thing connected with farm relief le-
gislation.
May Force Extra Session.
Advocates Of farm relief threaten to
filibuster on the appropriation bills
in case farm relief is blocked, in or.
der to force an extra session. II
the extra session is called the regu-
lars will not have the excuse Of mo
time" to prevent discussion Of farm
relief.
Some of the matters slated for ac-
ton, include appropriations, tax re-
duction, the alien property claims, wa.
terways and harbors legislation, and
prohibition.
Plan Coal Legislation.
1t is reported that an effort viii
be made to pass legislation to give
the president power to act in case
OF a coal strike. This power is in
corporated in bill to be introduced
by Sen. Copeland of New York. This
bill has been approved by the com.
mittee on labor and education. A
propaganda campaign is now being
conducted to create public opinion
in favor of such legislation.

Statement Of the Central Committee
of the Workers (communist) Party.
THE executive committee of the In
i ternatonah Labor Defense has is
sued an appeal for contributions to a
ChristmasN Fund for relief of class
war prisoners and their dependents.
The central committee OF the Work
ers (Communist) Party, endorses the
appeal of the International Labor De-
Tense and urges all members Of the
party and all workers to give the ef-
fort OF the International Defense to
bring cheer to valiant fighters be-
hind prison bars who have been sin
gled out by the capitalists because OF
their part in the class struggle.
The fact that there are so workers
behind prison bars because OF their
part in the class struggle in the
United States Is evidence Of the ma
ture of the struggle which the work
ers are fighting. It shows that the
capitalist slogan of peace and pros
perity" is myth. 1t proves that cap.
italists maintain their system OF ex-
ploitation and oppression only thru
force-thru throwing behind prison
bars those who too openly challenge
their robbery OF the workers. Today
capitalism singles out the most mill.
tant OF the workers fighting In the
workers interests to stife their voices
behind prison bars. To morrow II may
again, as It did In 1919. resort to mass
arrests and persecution OF those who
lead the fight against exploitation and
oppression Of the workers.
For the class struggle fighters be-
hind prison bars there Is no greater

suffering and sacrifice is not in vain,
because it inspires others to take up
the struggle.
The greater the demonstration OF
support the more heartening II win
be for our comrades, fellow-workers
and brothers behind prison bars. The
central committee OF the Workers
(Communist) Party therefore calls up-
on all workers to rally to the support
of the Christmas Fund OF the I. L. D.,
by making generous contributions to
this fund.
Make the Christmas Fund an I'm

with all the class war prisoners.

Wisconsin Insurgents
to Refuse Conditions
Imposed on Returning

WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-THE west
ern insurgents in the house never will
don the mantle of party regularity if
they are forced to abide by the caucus
system, members of the Wisconsin
delegation announced.
This answer to limitations of re-
publican leaders that the insurgents
would be restored to committees from
which they were expelled If they enter
party caucuses, somewhat dimmed the
possibilities OF the impending senate
armistice spreading to the house.
II will never enter into an agree
ment to bind myself in advance on a
vote" declared Representative Henry
A. Cooper, the dean of the insurgent
band.
Moreover, think that any man
who does so violates his oath OF Office"

right to be considered as republicans,
but will make no oyertures to the
majority, 1t was declared by Represen-
tative James A. Frear, also of Wis
consin.

The Studebaker plants shut down for

The building industry which flour

streets looking for jobs. President
Frank Martel of the Detroit Fedora
tion OF Labor and Daniel Collins OF
the Bricklayers' Union are in Wash
ington pleading with the Commission
or General Of immigration for more
rigid enforcement of the immigration
laws so that Canadian residents to
the number of $1,000, according 10
them, would be stopped from crossing
the Detroit river and working in De-
troit, in competition with Detroit
workers.
The situation would have been ma
terially worse but Tor the thousands
Of former miners who shipped back

Labor's First Radio Can
Be Made to Really Serve
the Workers Effectively
BY }. LOUIS ENoDAHL.


This is especially true, for in
stance, in the parliamentary strug-
gle. The officialdom now directing
the fortunes, or misfortunes OF la
boris radio, are tied up to the cap
italist parties. The only speeches
made by officeholders, or office seek,
ers over "WCFIs" so far as we know,
have been made by old party poll
ticians. That is enough to make the
ordinary worker gag. He can get
enough of that from every point of
the compass.
Labor's radio must become an in
strument for developing the workers
independent political power-the La
Dor Party. 1t must attack all the
vital issues confronting the work
ers from the workers class stand
point. Instead OF permitting Mayor
Dever to speak at the dedication
Saturday, some labor speaker might
well open the spring mayoralty cam
paign with labor's attack on the
crimes of the Dever administration.
That would help make the workers
realize that they have fight of
their own on their hands, and that
they are not merely a tolerated APP
pendage to one Of the capitalist par
ties, sneered at and reviled.
VIGIL" did broadcast one speech
by a representative Of the striking
British coal miners, and another
speech by a spokesman for the Pas
sale strikers. The former event took
place when the British strike was
four months old, while the latter
talk got on the air only after the
Passaic struggle had been on for
more than eight months. This shows
lack of support for workers strug-
les that have engaged the earnest
attention Of the whole working class.
On May and ever since, the Brit
ish general strike and the British
coal strike have interested this
whole nation. 1t was not until the
latter days of August that it got on
Chicago's labor radio. During the
bitterest hours. of the Passaic strike
the radio was silent.
Similarly in every labor struggle.
No word is sent out, no IS. o. S."
call issued on the Sacco-Vanzetti
case, altho Chicago labor officials
speak at a Sacco-vanzetti protest
meeting. The other class-war pris-
oners, like Tom Mooney and Warren
Billings, are unnoticed. The Chi
cago Federation of Labor takes a
laudable stand against the visit to
this country of the terror queen of
Roumania, but does not use its only
means of publicity to spread its view
point. 1t supports the campaign for
the protection of the foreign-born,
officially, but not actually. There is
enough material to furnish daily a
crowded Chicago Federation of
Labor Hour" if the radio is allowed
to speak as it should.
The dedication OF "labor's first
radio station" Saturday will be an
event in its way. The day will be
notable, however, when this radio
Is developed into an effective weap-
on In the workers struggle, and not
until then.
To accomplish this change is the
task of the mass of Chicago labor,
that not only pays for the broadcast
ing station, but also purchases the
receiving sets to get what "WCFL"
has to offer.

NAVY HEAD GAGS
WITNESS IN OIL
CONSPIRACY CASE
Wilbur Would Prevent
Trial Testimony


WASHINGTON, Dec. Secretary
of Navy Wilbur Is attempting to pre-
vent the navy departments connec.
ton in the Fall-Doheny oil conspiracy
being divulged in the trial here, it has
developed. Government attorneys re-
vealed that Wilbur had given orders
to Admiral John X. Robson, defense
witness, to refrain from giving any
testimony on anything he learned in
his capacity as an officer of the United
States navy.
Gives Robson Letter
When Robson entered the court
room to testify in the case he was
met by Wilbur, who handed him an
envelope. containing the following
command: "You are hereby directed
as witness that you cannot disclose
any confidential information that came
into your possession as an officer Of
the navy"
May Be Defense Strategy.
Two possible reasons for Wilbur's
action are seen by court observers.
One is that Robson knows facts that
will incriminate both Fall and Doheny,
former secretary OF navy. The other
that this is merely an attempt Of
the defense to build up their case that
the oil leases were granted Doheny
because of the fear of war with japan.
Claim War Scare.
The defense IL basing most OF its
defense on the latter reason. They
claim that Japan was arming against
the United States. and development
Of the oil leases was necessary for the
national defense. The defense has con-
tended thruout the trial that Fall and
Doheny were patriots and should be
given medals for their actions instead
Of being forced to submit to criminal
trial."
The government counsel scouts the
war scare defense. 1t points out that
the leases were signed after the SEN
ate had already ratified the Washing
ton four-powers arms treaty for peace
In the Pacific. and that the govern
ment had no fear of war with Japan. "
Made to Testify.
Judge Hoehling ruled that Wilbur
could not prevent Robson from testi-
tying. and said that it could not be
claimed that the oil testimony would
divulge high state secrets"
Robson testified that it was decided
to give Doheny the oil lease because
he promised ito come to the aid OF
the country and place oil in the Ha-
waiian Islands to be used in case OF
war with Japan"
Patriotism Profitable.
The government attacked this at.
tempt to paint Doheny as doing a
patriotic deed by revealing that the
lease provided for huge profits for
Doheny's oil company.
| Robson answered questions in re-
gard to the navy departments fears
only under compulsion of the court
Judge Hoehling declared that the court
would assume responsibility for di-
vulging Of state secrets"
