ployerS, including Walter e. Teagle,
president of Standard Oil of New

Relief, Acting Mayor of New York
Mckee and other parasites, heard
owen D. Young deliver an address
in which he laid down the law to
the employers and the present Re-
publican and incoming Democratic
administration, ordering that the
workers already starving slowly
must continue to bear the brunt Of
the crisis, that the workers must ac-
cept the share the work plan
developed by MIR. Walter Teagle--
the new name for Hoover's stagger
plan-which means more drastic
Wage-cuts.
Both MFR. Hoover and Mr.. Roose-
welt, like the obedient servants
they are to Wall Street, answered
with the same great eagerness as
two parrots, again proving that the
only difference between the Re
publican and Democratic Parties is
that one is out and the other is in,
or that one is a horse thief, the
other a cl1icken-thief.

on the Bingham bill to legalize 2.75
per cent beer by weight was blocked
in the senate.
To avoid a direct vote on 1t before
adjournment, senate Democrats lined
up with the Republicans and sup
ported the motion of Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas to send the bill back
to the senate judiciary committee.
The vote was so to 25.
Robinson said the purpose of re-
committing the bill was not to dodge
q direct test. He wanted first to OBJ
tain a study of the constitutionality
of possible higher alcoholic con-
tent For beverage under the Eight
zenith amendment.

pleaded for 275 per cent beer as a
Notwithstanding healthful beverage,
and rich revenue producer for de-
pleted federal treasury. Senator
Glass Of Virginia clashed with Bing-
ham, each accusing the other Of
playing politics.
The Virginian accused Bingham Of
trying to make a political campaign
for election ION glass Of beer" The
Wickersham commission, which he
described sarcastically as the wicked
sham" commission, drew Glass fire.
Senator Bingham charged that the
real purpose Of the return of the
bill to committee was to delay vote
until after the election.

Tydings of Maryland, Democrats,
filed motions to discharge the judi
ciary committee from further con-
sideration of resolution for repeal
