BERLIN, March 10. 49, The Reich's
Transport Ministry has given notice
to end the wage tariff Of the inland
water transport workers in State and
municipal employment, with view
to reducing wages by z Pfenning
(about penny at par) per hour. AS
already reported, the Prussian Com
missar has taken similar action with
regard to the wage tariffs of the
municipal workers in Berlin in order
to carry out wage cuts.
BERLIN, March 10. At The in
stance of the Commissar for Prussia,
the fascist Goering, notice has been
given to end the wage agreement for
$4,000 municipal employees in Berlin
with a view to putting through wage
cuts. The existing agreement con-
6sins a clause according to winch the
municipal employees who were en-
E9loyed prior TO the october J., 1881

employed after this date. This diff

MOntevideO Anti-War
Congress Delegates
Jailed in Argentine

BUENOS AIRES, March 10. -
Thirty-one Argentine delegates to
the Anti-War Congress just con-
cluded in Monteyideo, we're arrested
and imprisoned when they returned
to Buenos Aires Friday.
The prisoners, including several
young women, we're charged with
Communist activities. These arrests
are a continuation of police attacks
made upon delegates to the Anti
War Congress, where, nevertheless,
some 500 delegates from various
countries met to plan an effective
struggle against wars now raging in
Latin America.
This extensive police interference
further proved that the Congress
was not mere pacifist gathering,
but a militant body determined to
unite the workers of Latin America
in common struggle against impe-
rialist war maneuvers and for the
defeat of both, the native and TO-
reign oppressors.

CORRECTION

In the call of the Communist In
ternational for united front struggles
against hunger and Fascist terror,
two mistakes have crept in.
The two sentences should read as
follows:
A.-The Communist International
and the Communist Parties OF all
countries have repeatedly declared
their readiness to join in common
fight along with the Social-Demo-
cratic workers against the capitalist
offensive, against political reaction
and the war danger,
B.-Proletarians Of all countries,
unite for the fight against the capt.
talist offensive and Fascism.

amidst the quack of ducks, the below
ings Of bulls, and the growls of BEARS"
and Macaulay, in 1882, spoke Of frauds
of which lame duck on the stock ex-
change would be ashamed"
Even Thackeray adds another amusing
usage Of the term, when character In
Vanity Fair (1847), says: unless I see
Amelia's 10000 down you don't marry
her. I'll have no lame ducks daughter
In my family"
And then in 1865 comes the earliest
known American record Of the term, but
still In the English Stock Exchange sense,
when q financial article In Harper's
Magazine, referring to Wall Street opera
tors Of the day, says: "All, or nearly all,
have been lame ducks at some time or
other: that is to say, owe money which
they cannot pay"
A year later Thomas Nast's cartoon Of
the much-hated johnson, caricaturing
him as q dead duck" came out. Since
Tame duck" meant q defaulter, dead
duck" came after this to be applied to
absolute bankrupts. It is probable that
the cartoon drawn by this extremely
popular artist started the career Of the
term IN its purely American sense as
applied to defeated Congressmen who
continued to meet in session under con-
ditions which the twentieth amendment
win make impossible after this year.
In the Senate and the House the more
dignined members have seldom used the
actual term lame duck" ON the fioor,
where olfense might be taken, but have
referred more often to the "embarrass-
ment" suffered by their defeated COM
rades In such a situation. However, 1t will
be remembered that both Senators Bing-
ham and McKellar did not hesitate to re-
ferto the "so-called lame duck joint reso-
luton" in March, 1882. on the noor, while
Henry st. George Tucker in the House In
1923 said, "You know that ducks always
march in long row, one after another"
And the most dignif1ed usage OF this
extremely undignified term was in the
announcement which came from the
Department of State on February 6, 1888,
of the certif1cation of the validity of
the twentieth amendment, referred to
in parentheses as the 1ame duck
amendment"

Origin of Name, 'Lame Duck"
BY Adelaide E. Fielding

n TOW that the last '1ame duck" ses-
M sion is rapidly waning, oldtimers
l Y on Capitol Hill are anxiously
seeking the origin of this curious
term Why should CongreSsmen, many
of whom do not resemble any fowl, tame
or wild, and who have never been known
to limp, either mentally or physically,
be called ducks" or even "1ame ducks"2
All departments of the Library of Con-
gress have been besieged with inquiries,
and both James d. Preston, librarian Of
the Senate, and Francis M. Sadd of the
legislative reference service, have made
extensive researches into the meaning
and usage of the famous old American
political term. But no one can say ex-
actly when 'lame duck" was first used
in its present political sense. Even Sena-
tor Norris, who for 10 years has waged
bitter, and at last, successful Tight to
abolish the species. and Representative
Robert Luce, well known historian, have
never heard its exact American history.
One suggestion Is that Thomas Nast's
Dead Duck" cartoon Of President
Andrew johnson In 1855, which caused
. furore when exhibited with other nfe->
size caricatures ct an opera ball given
in April Of that year. was probably the
political debut Of the term In America.
Mast, the dean Of American political car
toonists, whose caustic pen broke up the
famous Tweed ring" In New York, Il
credited with the origin Of many other
political Americanisms, such Is the ele-
phant symbol for the Republican party.
In England the term "lame duck" has
long been used In stock exchange slang
for . defaulter, or q stock jobber who
cannot meet his financial obligations and
who has to "waddle out Of the alley like
q lame duck"
In 1851 Horace Walpole, IN q letter to
Horace Mann, writes, do you know what
bull and bear and lame duck are"?
and 10 years later the same author wrote,
II may be lame but I shall never be a
duck, nor deal in the garbage Of the
alley"
The term continued to be popular in
England in its financial sense during the
early nineteenth century, when J. Beres-
