"LAME DUCK"
U. S. Congress Is Unequaled
In the World
Washington.—"There is no other
office in the world where there is
postponement of 13 months after
election before the official elected
takes office," said Congressman John
son, of Texas, in favoring the Norris
amendment that wrald end "lame
duck" congresses.
"Our state legislatures ordinarily
convene in January after the election
in November," said Mr. Johnson.
"In all of the other leading coun
tries of the world legislative bodies
convene in from 10 days to three
months after election.
"In England the parliament usually
convenes in two or. three weeks after
the election. The same rule applies
in Canada^
"In France the chamber of depu
ties, in case of a new election, must
convene within 10 days. In Germany,
the reichstag convenes not later than
30 days after the election. In Hun
gary the maximum is six weeks and
in Austria it is 30 days.
"In Brazil three months, and in
Argentine two months is.the latest
date for the .convening of the Con
gress.
"In the Netherlands three months

"You will observe." continued Mr.

ing governments of the world, the
congress, or whatever their parlia
mentary body is called, convenes

Improperly treated may

details of this invention are not
known, and no reference to it has so

press. It is also said that the metal
used by Lumiere is the result of an
entirely new process and is being kept
secret.
MORE UNEMPLOYED
DURING DECEMBER
Washington. "December unem
ployment in the country as a whole
(union and non-union) was 16.5 per
cent, compared with 15.9 per cent in
November," said William Green,
presidept A. F. of L. This estimate is
based on reports to the A. F. of L.
"Our estimate of the total number
out of work in all trades in the
United States, union and non-union, is
5,000,000 in November (revised fig
ures) and 5,300,000 in December,"
said Mr. Green.
"In November, while there were no
more than the usual increase in un
employment among union members,
unorganized workers in manufactur
ing industries experienced far more
than the usual increase in the num
ber out of work.
"Our December figures show that
conditions in the metal trades are no
worse since November, but unemploy
ment in printing and building trades
is higher than ever before in th£
three years of our records. —,
"In clothing and textiles, the unem
ployed totaled 25 per cent in Novem
ber, compared to 27 per cent in De
cember. In the following more were
out of work in December: Theatres,
manufacturing (the largest was in
manufacturing), service and trade,
railroads, water transports, street
transport, musicians. Unemployment
among musicians is as serious as in
the building trades."

Baker questions the
justness of machine owners taking all
benefits of automatic machines and
other new production devices.
"I have a notion," said Mr. Baker,
in an address to a group of vocational
educators, "that industry has no
right, as a fundamental proposition,
to take all the gains that come from
this rapid substitution of machine
processes for human labor.
"It seems to me that the most chai^
acteristic thing about an industrial
civilization is that we invite, rather
coerce, the individual to surrender
his independence and to become inde
pendent for our sakes. That seems to
me to entail on that society a grave
responsibility for whatever disability
that new and otherwise undesirable
status imposes upon the individ^aL^'
