Washington.-JThe hungry un-
employed, although this fact may
! not elate them, should at least
realize that they occasioned the
most brilliant tempest of oratory
heard here in many years and split
both parties in the senate as BIT
terly and clearly as any issue we
have had.
Agitation for federal unemploy-
ment relief continues in congress
because of a strengthened belief in
the need. But the two-week fight
for the $750,000,000 La-Follette-
Costigan bill. although unsuccess-
full, already stands as the most eff
| fective solid-front attack the min
GRITTY progressive group has yet
made in congress.
1t was spectacular in the ex-
IRENE. But 1t was also important
because it drew more sharply than
ever the line of cleavage between
conservatives and progressivcs
which becomes increasingly more
strongly marked than the artificial
division between the republicans
and democrats.
Big Guns Thunder
The individual performances of
Borah, LaFollette. Costigan, John
son and Norris-progressive lead
ers in that fight-could best be
compared with the laundering of
big guns which tore great holes in
impregnable ramparts.
For once, those orators were
commonly fired with grim, bitter
determination In a struggle, against
human suffering. They gave 1t
|,everything they had. They attained
their respective peaks.

Jim Reeds Successor
Costigan of Colorado, a new
senator on the democratic side,
took his place as one of the ablest
senate leaders almost Immediate
ly.
Excessively courteous and al
ways unperturbed, speaking usu-
ally in quiet. even tones, he was
perhaps the deadliest of the pro-
gressive lot as he dashed the lead
ership of his own party, harpoOned
those who rose to face him In de-
bate as neatly as Jim Reed of
Missouri ever did the job and
wound up his initial speech with
the embarrassing theme song:
Billions for big business. but no
mercy for mankind"
LaFollette and Costigan after a
prodigious amount of labor in the
form of hearings, conferences, in
vestigations and surveys had come
to the floor with the assurance of
but IA votes and a promise from
Democratic Leader Joe Robinson
that their bill would be buried as
soon as they had spoken their
pieces.
Keep Banging Away ,.-
Almost overnight they had de-
stroyed the contention that there
was no need for any form of fed
eral relief. They kept the bill be-
fore the senate and day after
day, brought others into their camp
until at length 80 senators either
voted for or were paired for the
bill. That sort of thing almost
never happens In congress.

Doing away with the so-called

goal when the house passed the
bill appertaining thereto. the SEN
ate having done so previously. It
is likely that the slight differences
between the measures as mended
by each branch of congress will be
ironed out in conference without
difficulty. That the measure will
go before the states for ratifica-
tion seems entirely likely. Such
ratification, with an attendant a
mendment to the constitution,
would have, to be done in seven
years. From what appears to be
widespread public sentiment, there
will be no difficulty In acquiring
three fourths of the states to con-
sent to the amendment.
