SPEEDY AGREEMENT EXPECTED ON DALE BILL
SUITS HOOVER,
ACCORDING To !
CLANCY

The Dale civil service retire
ment bill was in the last stages
Of enactment today, as the Sen
ate and House were ready to
appoint conferees to consider the
few amendments inserted in the
Senate measure by the House
civil service committee. Speedy
conference agreement was pre-
dicted.
Under suspension Of the rules
the House overwhelmingly ap-
proved the Dale bill late yes
terday, 235 to II. Opponents Of
the measure we're SO few that
they were unable to force a roll
call and the measure passed by
rising vote.
However, these opponents were
not really against a revision Of
the civil, service retirement laws;
they merely protested against
jamming the bill through with
only 40 minutes debate and
claimed that the amendments
written in the Dale bill by Chair
man Lehlbach, of the House COM
mittee, were complex.
Lets Debate"
Lets bring the bill into the
open and debate it and perfect
it," shouted Representative Lamar
Jeffers, Alabama, ranking Demo
crat of the committee. None Of
us knows yet exactly what this
bill is"
Both Jeffers and Representative
RamSpeck construed the revised
bill as favoring the higher
salaried employees and Ramspeck
deplored that it was being hur-
riedly considered.
"The steam roller Is working as
it hasn't since the Car Cannon
days" said the youthful Georgia
member.
Calls 1t Complicated
Representative Ramseyer (R.)
Iowa, also attacked the bill and
committee report as complicated,
saying that the chairman of the
committee isn't concrete and uses
generalities in defining the
measure"
Near the close of the spirited
debate Representative Clancy.
Michigan, Republican member
Of the CIVIL Service Committee.
predicted speedy agreement in
conference committee, saying
that he understood that this
bill is satisfactory to Senator
Dale, and / have reason to- be-
heve it will be signed by the
President"
When the bill is returned 70
the Senate with amendments the
procedure will be the request for
a conference by the upper cham
Der. and the naming of Senate
confereeS. Receiving this re-
quest, the House will agree to
conference and name its con-
fereeS.

phasized that only 200 could be
taken care Of.

The Strike in Peru

demonstrations, rioting and dyna-
miting were taking place at the
mines, but that detachments of
Peruvian troops sent from Lima

Having been over every mile Of
that particular territory, the
writer is somewhat puzzled as to
just how these Peruvian troops
quilted the strikers, unless it was
by "absent treatment" The city
of Lima is only a short trolley

but the Cerro de Paseo mines are
at the top of the Andes Noun

the rotten conditions that prevail
IN the mills of Lowell, The demon

Hundreds of workers were pres

Rudolph Glines, was arrested and
charged with speaking without a

The demonstration continued in a

tempo of the German masses is
the social-democrats and the fas-
cists. Both the Wall Street Jour
nal and the Journal of Commerce
console themselves with the fact
that the social-democrats, despite
their losses, still maintain a large
representation in the Reichstag.
The Wall Street journal counts
heavily on the social-fascists say
ing that it "has been loyal in it's
support of the government in the
debts settlement and other i'm
portant matters" While the
Journal of Commerce is thankful
that large section of the Ger
man petty-bourgeoisie did vote
for the Socialists" since the "Com-
munists are reported to have made
serious inroads upon the socialists" /"
The real nature of the fascist
party as a capitalist party, friendly
to Wall Street and other imperialist
masters, despite its demagogic
phrases was clearly brought out by
none other than DR.. George w.
Edwards, economist of Stone &
Webster, leading Wall Street
Bankers. Df. Edwards said that
the fascist party is "really a cap
italist party including among its
numbers many leading Industrial
ists," and that statements "that
this party aims for the expropria-
tiop of capital are entirely incor-
rect" because the fascists have
the support of "many industrials, ="
and is distinctly "pro-capitalist"
party.
The German elections are al
ready having an effect on the
shattering stabilization of world
capitalism. That the war danger
has been immeasurably heightened
is shown by the way the French
and British imperialists view the
election results. In and out of
