MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

IL not complete disSa tisfaction. There
are 81 committees of the House.
Most of them are presided over by
earnest. Woodworking Representa-
tives. anxious to serve their country
as we'll as their constituents. Favors
from the throne have come so grudg
inelY to most of them that they W
tually have ceased TO ask, and there
fore considerable number of The
committees have ceased to function.
Perhaps the leaders of the big com
mitteeS feel they are doing the very
best thing in holding down legisla-
ton and giving the country a. rest
from more laws. Perhaps they think
Congress should make up an agenda
at the beginning of each session and
confine its august consideration /"
four or five subjects. And perhaps
they are right but il is hard to con
vince some 400 Woodworking Repre-
sentatives. out in the cold that such
is the case.
The fraternizing between the Re
publicanS and Democrats of the House
committee on ways and means may
lead to many interesting things.
Evidently the minds of most Of the
Republican and Democratic members
of this committee ran along togethe"
on the ways and means of raising and
reducing the taxes of the people.
1t so happens that this committee
which deals with taxes is the same
one that deals with the tariff. Aye
there's the rub Eventually there
may even hang q tale What will all
this fraterniZag lead to In the way Of
proposed tariff legislation? VIII the
Democratic ways and meanerS who
professedly believe i'm a low tariff
turn upon their Republican brothers
and comrades In tax arms and rend
them limb from limb. or will there he
another understanding. another gen
tlemen's agreement?
The truth of the matter is that no
tariff legislation ever was contemplat-
ed for this session or at any time i'm
the future. Still the Democrats talk
OF II as being their issue in the com
ing campaign. When everything else
fails there is still the tariff. which
furnishes a good talking point even
If the talk does get no place i'm par
ticular. And since the South has be-
come such a. vast producing center.
tariff views south of the Mason and
Dixon lines have undergone consider
able change.
TO keep up the appearance of battle
two members of the ways and means
committee held "a desultory debate on
the tariff on the radio a night or two
ago. The Republican was Mr.. Growth
or of New York, and the Democrat
was Mr.. Carew of New York. Mir.
Crowther injected "a new note when
he charged that all the agitation for
lowered tariff duties was emauating
nowadays from the interna tioual
bankers. anxious to protect their
loans or investments in cuba and i'm
Europe. The application for the re
duction on sugar. which started such
a hullabaloo. came from an organiz-
ton completely controlled by Cuban
interests and was not an American
movement at all.

terday Practically all of the sales
included in this list were residential
property of moderate price. One new
apartment house built by A. Hanna
qocated at 219 III street was sold to a
local investor during this time.
This firm predicts that with the re-
turn of cooler weather and the end of
vacation time sales in Washington
will continue to be brisk.
That sales have been good in the
last few months is indicated by the
announcement of this firm that so
far this year they have far exceeded
all records of previous years.

snowy flowers like single yellow roses
with long golden stamens, particularly
effective because of the dark green
foliage, which Is characteristic OF
most OF the family.
Two Summer blooming shrubs with
white flowers are excellent for semi
wild planting-Button Bush (Cepha-
lanthus occidentalis). which grows in
wet ground in It's wild state, and Sweet
Pepper Bush (Clethra alnifolia), which
may be planted with cedars, ground
juniper, high bush blueberries and
carries one back in spirit to the
Gloucester moors.
While these late Towering shrubs
are blooming there are others which
blossomed early now coming into fruit.
The bush honeysuckles, with August
berries bright red or brighter orange,
are particularly good for screen plant
ing because they are so large. Mount
Holly (Nemopanthus), with neat small
foliage and hanging berries of crimson
rather than scarlet, is valuable in the
shrubbery because it is so rarely seen.

this beauty there is no reason why

The Government Fighting the
Workers.

Every arm of the government is used to help
the capitalists and fight the workers.
The $4,000 Passaic textile strikers have learn
ed how the government fights for the bosses.
They have had their meetings broken up. They
have had their pickets dubbed. They have
been denied the right of freedom Of speech and
assembly. They have had injunctions in the in
terest Of the bosses issued against them. They
have been arrested by the scores. They have
been attacked by gas bombs. They have been
indicted on fake charges and held on exorbitant
bail.
All this has been done by the government to
help the mill owners defeat the strikers and to
prevent them from securing higher wages and
better working conditions.
The 900 anthracite miners who went on
strike could tell similar story. The 10000
New York furriers who are on strike have had
the same experiences.
Thes facts are from the record Of the last
year. The record Of the last ten years tell
story Of equally brutal use of the governmental
power against the workers.
The democrat, Wilson, used injunctions and
soldiers against the miners and steel workers in
1919. The republican, Harding used injunc-
tions and soldiers against the railroad shopmen
and miners in 1922.
