es) Page Four ‘ TH SENATOR LADD FOR UNDERWOOD SHOALS SCHEME North Dakota “Radical” Had Talk with Cal (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Progres- sives in the senate, led by Senaton Norris, of Nebraska, lost their fight to prevent the turning over of Muscle Shoals to private monopolies when the senate, by a vote of 50 to 30, passed the Underwood bill providing for a leasing of Muscle Shoals to private companies. Following a conference at the White House between President Cool- idge and Senator Curtis, republican floor leader, ten votes which were recorded in favor of the Norris pro- posal, which provided for government ownership and opération of Muscle Shoals, switched to the Underwood ball, assuring its passage. The only member of the progressive group who allied himself with what Senator Norris called a coalition of Under- wood democrats and Coolidge republi- cans was Senator Ladd, of North Dakota. Ladd voted for the Under- wood bill. Only One Disappointment. “I was told how many would change and who they were,” Senator Norris declared, after the vote had been taken on the Underwood bill. “I think the vote will be a disappoint- ment to future generations.” A bill differing with the Underwood bill in many respects but identical with it in the plan to turn over the) government property to private cor- portorations was passed by the hous: during the last session. It is believed that despite the opposition of the pro- gressives in the house, where the tules prevent the extended debates which take place in the senate, these differences will be ironed out before the adjournment of congress.

A letter has been ad- dressed to labor unions and other workingclass organizations asking their support on the basis of immedi- ate issues set forth in our program. Very good propaganda results can already be noticed from this cam- paign. In the coming weeks, asthe work is intensified, our literature widespread, the party should endeavor to crystallize this work into organiza- tional results.
