When I came to congress four years ago I got & very mysterious note from this man asking me to call at his place and see him at Uo. 900 Four- teenth street. I went, and when I got there he asked me if 1 would be a can- Gidate for re-election to o ess. T told him that I weuld. He then told me that he had looked up my district and found that there were 4,000 Cath- olic votes therein. He then made a proposition to me that for a pecuniary consideratioN he would deliver those 4,000 Catholic votes to me. In that connection he also said that he was a Knight of Columbus, and through that organization he could surely and cer- tainly deliver those votes to me. Mr. Speaker, I wish to say that I am proud of being both a Casholic and a Knight of Columbus, and I emphatically deny that this man can do anything of the kind. I furthermore know that there are several members on this floor to whom he has made the same proposi- tion, and I have been informed that he has obtained money from members of this house upon the pretext that he could deliver to them the Catholic vote in their-districts and the votes of the Knights of Columbus in the United States for a pecuniary consideration. sideration. The order of Knights of Columbus is not a political organization, but in- stead strictly fraternal, and it is a re- flection upon both the Catholic church as well as upon the order of Knights of Columbus that this man can go un- «whallenged and unexposed in his me- farious scheme. Therefore I say what I do relative to him for the purpose of pretecting this membership, as well as for the purpose of defending the Cath- | olic church amd the Knights of Colum-, bus from such characters who for a fow dollare bring dlscredit upon that chu: nd upon that order. Every Catholic and every Knight of Colum- bus will, I know, appreciate an expos- ure of this Catholic “for revenue only.” 1 have not availed myself of the con- stitutional privilege of the house to ex- froee my opinion of this man, but I wve dome 0 to his face, and now re- peat it for the protection of the house and the public. I wish to warn this house against a lobbyist, a man who is lobbying for the passage of this bill that is now up, and who lohbies for various other bills that come along, and then in the meantime offers to deliver to any can- didate who will pay him a monetary consideration the Catholic - vote and the vote of the order of the Knights of Columbus in the TUnited States, which I know he can not do. In jus- tice to the membership of this house 1 wish to make this statement. 1 now | withdraw any objection, Mr. Speaker, to the bill. UNITED WORKMEN. Grand Master Workman Edward H.

'he proposition is the leasing of a part of the lodge build/mg by the club, conditional on the lodfe’s making cer- tain alterations on the premises for gymnasium and other athletic pur- poses, but the action of the lodge will require ratification by the board of trustees, in whose hands the manage- ment of the hall rests.

The lotier stated that the trus- tees were willing to lease such parts of the hall 3s were desired, for the sum of 3100 for the first year and $150 for the seconyd year. The greater por- tion of expe/nse to be incurred in fit- ting up the rooms will rest with the leasees.
