He'll on Earth.
If any worker reading this letter
could see US working in this hotel he
really would not recognize that we
are human beings. He would see and
believe that paradise and hell are on
earth and not in the sky where the
preachers tell US.
The kitchen and it's stairs are the
hell where the workers kill themselves
in the rush time and the dining room
is the paradise where the so-called
high society dimes. While we, the
workers have no means to live, they
are dining and amusing themselves
with luXuries spending sometimes
5000 or $500 a day. That's what Mr..
Coolidge calls Americas prosperity"
Prosperity" for his bosses and
starvation for the workers.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated f'fess.
While an effort will be made to get
before the Senate the House bill au-
thorizing the construction of Is light
cruisers and / aircraft carrier the par
liamentary situation is such that there
appears little, If any, prospect of action
at this session.
Boulder Dam Canyon legislation Is
the unfinished business of the Senate
after the tax bill is disposed of. and
Senator johnson. Republican, Califor-
MIA. has given notice that he will make
of that measure a test of human en-
durance in an effort to bring 1t to a
vote before adjournment.
Several other measures and num-
ber of caAference reports remain TO be
acted up6n before Congress quits. The
date for adjournment has not yet been
definitely settled. but Senator Curtis of
Kansas, the Republican leader. Is hope
full, he said yesterday. that May 26 will
see the falling of the gavels in the two
houses.
Representative Tilson of Connecticut,
the Republican leader in the House, has
told the Senate leaders that If the SEN
ate can wind up its business the House
will be ready to get away this month.
Should the cruiser bin fail Of action
in the Senate, 1t would retain its status
on the calendar and could be called up
at the next and closing session OF this
Congress.
This measure is vigorously opposed by
a number of Republican independents
as well as by some Democrats.

through a historical outline of the
origin of the leasing act of 1920. He
also explained the machinery set up in
the Interior Department to carry 1t into
effect.

gated over Secretary Payne's signature.
The relief provisions of the leasing
act cover cases where oil prospecting
was in progress on Government land
under the old placer mining law before
the oil act was passed. The situation
was complicated. however. by the eNecu-
tive order withdrawing oil lands from
entry issued in 1909, pending the enact
ment of oil legislation. Bouton and Bell
were sent into Salt Greek in connection
with Department of Justice proceedings
against prospectors held to have vio-
