Urgent appeals to the Seventy-first Congress and the peoples of the States to give Washington residents the po | litical rights enjoyed by other Ameri | cans were made in radio addresses last I night over WRC by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and James J. Noonan, president of the Central Labor Union, who presented the views of the business Interests and organized labor in the National Capital. Speaking under auspices of the Citi zens’ Joint Committee for National Rep resentation. they asked Congress to sub mit to the States the proposed consti tutional amendment which w'ould em power Congress to give inhabitants of the District the right to vote for presi dent and Vice President and to be rep resented in the House and Senate. Labor Supports Movement. The time has come, according to Mr. Darr, to make the Declaration of Inde pendence mean something to Washing tonians and to demand that they be made free Americans. The 65,000 mem bers of organized labor, representing nearly half the population of the Dis trict. are squarely behind the move ment, declared Mr. Noonan. The addresses last night were part of a radio campaign to acquaint the country, and particularly the new mem bers of the Seventy-first Congress, with the political disability of the residents of Washington and urge a remedy. The campaign will be continued May 31 and June 11 in the coast-to-coast network of the National Broadcasting Co. Mr. Darr spoke, in part, as follows: “ ’Taxation without representation Is tyranny.’ Whether it is practiced on the people of Petrograd. by Russia, or practiced upon the citizens of the Dis trict of Columbia by the United States, it means the same, It feels the same and it is the same. "We are called citizens of the United States and so we are. So are the citizens of the great State of New York. They are no better than we. We pay the same internal revenue taxes. We pay all taxes levied by the Congress of the United States upon the people of the District of Columbia just as the citizens of the States pay the taxes levied by their State Legislatures. They respond to the call to arms in defense of our country and themselves and give their boys to die for their country. So do we. They suffer all the ills and misfortunes that befall our country. So do we. Discrimination Is Emphasized. "They must obey the laws made by the Congress of the United States. So must we, and so do we. "They are citizens of the United States, and so are we; but they are something more, because they are sov ereign citizens, and we are not. They are citizens of a sovereign State. We are not. They help by their ballots to make the laws they must live under and obey, w'hether national. State, city or county. We do not help make the laws we must live under and obey, local or national. The people of the State of New York and all the States elect their governors, mayors, aldermen and other public servants. Why? Because they are sovereign citizens. We do not elect ours. We are not sovereign citizens of a sovereign State. "We do not help elect Presidents or members of Congress because we, not being sovereign citizens, have no right to take part in the election of a Presi dent, whose appointments to fill our local offices are made, says the Consti tution and the law. by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, no, by the advice and consent of the citizens of the District of Columbia. The Senate is a body elected entirely by the people of the sovereign States, none of whom owe the people of the District of Co lumbia any consideration whatever, none of whom represent the people of the District of Columbia. Criticizes Appointments. "True, we are granted the right of pe tition and supplication, but such peti tions and supplications are in the main unheeded, both by the President and the Congress, and appointments and confirmations are made of men w'ho could not receive the indorsement of one hundred men or women in Wash ington. all because we are not sovereign citizens. “This criticism is not directed to any specific administration, either Dem ocratic or Republican. Both have sinned to the same extent, and it has ever been so in my recollection. And it will always be so until Congress passes an enabling act submitting to the people of the States the question of amending the Constitution so that cit izens of the District may be given the right to have national representation through the ballot.

I "If education, intelligence, respect ability and dependability are necessary before we can say we are ready, then we have all of these and more. "Are we deprived of the right to which every citizen is entitled because our pooulation is too small or that our territory is too small? If so, it may interest you to know that the District of Columbia has a greater population than at least six of our sovereign States, all of whom are duly represented in the House of Representatives and by two Senators in the Senate of the United States. "It has been said that there are al ways two sides to every question. One man swears by this and says that, in his house there are always two sides to rverv question. One side his wife main tains and the other his mother-in-law. But. this question can have but one American side and that, we can say. is :,rue, because only one side has been iadvanced. "Some persons who are opposed live j in Maryland or Virginia, vote there, i work in Washington and are trying to carry a citizenship on both shoulders. • Believes Congress Is Ready. "I could on and on with one argu ment after another in favor of political i liberty for the people of the District of Columbia. This right w'e are still striv ing for should have been given us long ago and I believe the Congress is ready to give the States the opportunity to give us this right. But we must be interested; we must make a showing: we must show that we are entitled to it and demand it, not, by force of arms, but by force of petition, by force of demonstration, by force of numbers. "Every man and woman should take an interest, should become a fan, should show that he or she is an American. If you are an American, native or natu ralized. your blood will have the urge. "Help shake off the shackles you have had on during your whole lives; Throw away the ball and chain of polit ical serfdom. Be a sovereign citizen. "Remember, we are asking sovereign citizens to fashion us politically as they are—free Americans. Let us make the declaration of independence a real living thing to us as it is to our sov ereign brother. Let us make the Fourth of July mean to us all it means to the people" of the States. Enroll under the banner of the Citizens' Joint Commit tee now' and put this legislation over before the first regular session of the Seventy-first Congress adjourns. Mr. Noonan spoke in part as follows: "The Washington Central Labor Union is a delegate body representing 65,000 members of organized labor in the District and they in turn repre sent nearly one-half of the population of the District.

Committees and repre sentatives of the Central Labor body have for the last quarter of a century appeared before Congress urging the carrying out of this great fundamental principle. “The American Federation of Labor, representing today close to 5,000,000 workers, has at its conventions during that time repeatedly adopted favorable resolutions on this question and its leg islative agents have appeared before Congress and requested its adoption. International labor organizations, at their conventions, have likewise taken similar action. Therefore, as far as the organized labor movement of the United States is concerned, we are all in favor of national representation for the Dis trict of Columbia. Organizations of every description in the District have discussed this question at one time or another, and special organizations were created for the concentration of effort in order that victory might be at tained. Amendment Is Held Necessary. “After numerous conferences were held and the best legal minds of the country were consulted on this question, the conclusion was reached that only through an amendment to the Federal Constitution could this blot on the greatest Republic in the world be re moved. For a number of years, in each succeeding Congress, there have been introduced in both the Senate and House of Representatives joint resolu tions proposing such an amendment. "After studying the resolution you will find that it solves the problem by empowering Congress not to admit the District to Statehood, which would de stroy its power of exclusive legislation, but to grant to District residents rep resentation like that of citizens of a State in Congress and the electoral col lege, with access to the Federal courts, and no other powers or attributes of Statehood than those specifically enu merated. "Organized labor is continually being placed on the defensive and there are so many questions that confront us that we canpot possibly give all of our time and attention to this question. Eternal vigilance is the watchword of all labor organizations and protecting our re spective trades and callings comes first, and so It happens that while men in other lines of endeavor have made more careful study of this question, organized labor is wide awake to the situation and will continue to do all within its power to see that the goal is reached shortly, we hope. £ For Better Service / / Select an Apartment Under £ 5 Wardman Management "Outside of the labor organizations in the District which are behind the move j ment for the passage of the proposed amendment, we find the Women's Club, Bar Association, practically all of the citizens' associations and the leaders of both major political parties. So that never before in the history of the Dis trict has there been so much concerted activity on any question that, has been given consideration by Congress. Reviews History of Republic. "Let us go back a few years into the j history of this Republic for a moment j of thought and fond recollection. I was bom in Maine and raised in New Hampshire, where John Stark and my forefathers fought and died in order to establish this glorious Republic, and how well do I remember when attend ing the public schools in those days the time spent by the teachers endeavoring to teach us the principles that were subscribed by the founders of our Re public. Some of those principles pro claimed that ‘taxation without repre sentation is tyranny’; that governments derive their just powers from the con sent of the governed, and that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.’ “Those same principles are being taught in the schools today, but. little did I ever dream in those days that those great principles were not to be applied for the benefit of the people living in the District of Columbia. "And today there are hundreds of thousands of American citizens who do not realize the true situation that exists in the District as fas as national rep resentation Is concerned. Do any citi zens of the States think for a moment that we are their subjects? The people of the District of Columbia are free American citizens and not the subjects of the people of the United States, and, being free American citizens when the Constitution was adopted, no words used in that instrument could have been in tended to deprive them of those rights. "Some thoughtless persons have as serted that the population of the Dis trict does not warrant representation; that the Federal income derived from the residents of the District does not warrant it. and some have even gone so far as to say that the residents are not morally or financially fit to enjoy representation. Let me rite a few facts and figures in answer to those allega tions. Cites Fopulalion Figures. "While the present population of the District is estimated at approximately 540.000 people, for the purpose of com parison I will confine myself to the 1920 census. For that year the census shows the population to have been 437.571, which was greater than the population of any of the following seven States; Nevada. Wyoming, Delaware. Arizona, Vermont, New Mexico or Idaho. The District, with its increased population since that time, no doubt is greater than a few more States that are not enumerated in this comparison. The seven States I mentioned have 23 Rep resentatives in the Senate and House, while the District of Columbia, with a larger population than any one of them, has none. "The 60 per cent of taxable property shows that Washington is assessed at $1,150,000,000. In the Government re port of 1924 relative to internal reve nue receipts from the various States, including the District, we find the total for the District was $27,542,527. This amount will be found to be greater than that paid by any one of 30 States and 2 Territories. In 1927 the citizens of the District of Columbia paid into the Federal Treasury through income A.

"Just a few words to show how well the people of the District, of Columbia have proved their loyalty to the Gov ernment in time of war. In the Civil War the District of Columbia sent 16,- | 534 men to the front, or a number about four-fifths greater than its share. I In the Spanish War the number of men sent to the front was about one-foUrth greater than the number properly chargeable against the District. Proud of World War Record. “In the World War the record for the District is one that we are all proud of. The total voluntary enlistments in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps was 8,314, which was greater in number than the States of Nevada, Delaware, Arizona, Wyoming, Vermont, New Mex ico and New Hampshire and only a trifle less than three other States. The number of men inducted into the Army in the first and second registrations was 9,631. making a total number of men entering the service of the Gov ernment 17,945. The proportion which the voluntary enlistments bear to the total number of enlistments and in ductions byway of registrations was greater for the District than for any State in the Union, except Rhode Is land, Oregon, Washington, California and Maine.

"I could stand here and quote facts and figures all night on this subject, but i I believe that any fair-minded person) reviewing the record of the District of Columbia will readily concede that it is ! both fitting and just that the residents thereof should speedily be accorded na tional representation. “Another very important feature of this amendment is the fact that under its terms citizens of the District are put on a parity with the citizens of the States in the matter of entry into the United States courts. As the law is now interpreted we have even less rights than given an alien, because under the Constitution an alien may, under cer tain conditions, resort to the United States courts. Dawn of New Era Heralded. “The old saying that ‘charity begins at home’ is true, and I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of both branches of Congress for what they have done in the past for the resi dents of the District, but we of the labor movement know that political expedi ency sometimes comes first with certain politicians, especially at a time just prior to election, and we believe that by having our own Senators and Repre sentatives to whom we could tell our immediate troubles that we would be far more successful in having labor legislation passed that will be a benefit to the workers of the District. “In conclusion, let me say this: Throw off your chains of apathy: stand up with your faces to the rising sun. for this is the dawn of a new era; marshal your forces together and let us arouse the citizens of the Nation in order that they may help us in our battle for na tional representation and the preserv ing of those great principles that were responsible for the creation of this great Republic.’’ Phillips Re-Elected at Midland.
