Lewis, to shut off debate on the resolutions, requesting a fair hearing for their case was one of the features of the miners’ con- vention, Stirring speeches were delivered by many delegates and it was the opinion of the meeting that no great- er disgrace could be fastened on the miners’ union than to allow good union men to be outlawed from the organization because of their loyalty to their class. See Victory for Howat A determination to fight for the Nova Scotia miners and for the rein- statement of Alexander Howat, was expressed. It is the general opinion that the fight for Howat’s restora- tion to his former status in the union will be successful this time. There is tremendous sentiment in his fayor and unless a steamroller. that ean crush thountains under its heel is-em~- ployed, it is not considered likely that the official opposition ean longer suc- ceed in keeping Alex out of his right- ful position, A collection was taken up to de- fray the expenses of the meeting, It amounted to $29.00. A further collection was taken to defray the cost of publishing the statement of the Nova Scotia miners. |The mystery of the source of ‘the funds used in spreading radical propaganda is at last solved. It comes out of the pockets of the workers. Farrington Calls Lewis “Louse” Considerable amusement was caused at the meeting when J, J, Watt read correspondence that took place be- tween John L, Lewis and Frank Far- rington, in which the terms used in referring to each other were anything but polite. Mr, Farrington referred to Mr, Lewis as a “‘louse,”’ and Mr. Lewis was not slow in retorting. This was listened to with interest, consid- ering the united front now existing between the two officials. Inquiry Into - Teapot Dome Is Lurid Probe (Continued from Page 1) ly he never got a cent from Doheny, Sinclair or any one connected with either— testimony which has since been con- tradicted by Doheny and Zevely, Sinclair's man. Had Fall been under oath when he made his statement, the matter would have been more serious, as it is, he was merely “mistaken.” Smoot, who at the time was chair- man of the committee, said he didn’t think it was necessary to swear Fall. Smoot Close to Doheny If Smoot is called to the stand, he will be asked to give the reason he requested Doheny to “see me alone in my office after you've testified.” Smoot passed a note to that effect to Doheny when the latter was before the committee the other day and then explained he wanted to ask Doheny about a “wild cat’ oil tip Doheny was looking into. This ex- planation does not satisfy. ' As the scandal grows, the commit- tee is being flooded with tips and rumors connecting this and that of- ficial with the case,.most of them unsupported by tangible evidence, Denby and Daugh » however, had official connection with the leas- ing of the naval oil reserves and for that reason it is likely both will be asked to tell the committee under oath whether any evidence came to their knowledge that would indicate anything irregular or wrong from the ey 4 deals, The ite House statement that President Coolidge believes there may have been “criminal action” and that it will be punished, has con- vinced government circles that there will be not let-up in the probe, Archie Called Back Archie Roosevelt, son of the for- mer president, and G.

The facta are that Chicago school buildings in the industrial districts, ‘where the children of the workers live, have flagrantly neglected the fire prevention laws, and a disaster eausing loss of hundreds of lives may come any day. ment, the board of education and the building committee. The fire survey is to include every one of the 300 school buildings in the corporation limits, including the ancient fire- traps exposed by the DAILY WORKER, Every stage of the investigation will be followed by the DAILY WORKER. Parents of children in the South Chicago faetory district fear that the latest inspection is for the purpose buildings previously declared unsafe. This fear is aroused by the fact that the board of education, the very body that is responsible for the present calamitous condition, will take part in WHITEWASH IS FEARED. The danger of a whitewash of the buildings in the factory workers’ district which were built long before modern fire-prevention methods and attention of city officials in their much heralded safety campaign, has been directed to theatres and other Parely owned buildings, which ave been threatened with closing unless they obey the ordinances. Won't Criticise His Bosses. Edgar Martin, recently appointed architect of the Board of Education, told a reporter for the DAILY WORKER that he had nothing to say for publication on the question of new schoo] buildings for Chicago. He said that since he pwas only starting on his new job that he did not like to say anything that would reflect on the men who were formerly in eharge of that work, Martin will be put in charge of both the engineering de- partment of the board and the archi- tect's office. Martin did not eare to comment So far most of the|on the reasons for his appointment.

Just before the five minute period ef silence this message went over every telegraph city and hamelt in Russia: “Lenin is dead but his work goes on.” The radio orchestras played “The Internationale,” the crimson banners of the Red Army dipped and the ceremony was over, The services in Moscow began at 9 A. M. Up to the moment the guard of honor and the pallbearers eame for the casket an apparent- ly endless stream of mourners filed past. Thousands cried out “Tlyitch! MTlyiteh!”’ (Lenin's «real first name) as they passed the casket. Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, sat near the casket, quiet and eomposed, but pale as the corpse of the man whom she loved and by whose side she starved for the revolution, dodged the czar’s police and fought for the Soviet revolution he lived to see vic- torious, The body was placed in the mauso- leum so thet a mirrored reflection of it can be seen from the outside. The brain and heart of Lenin with his manuscripts wil! be preserved in a Lenin museum sreeey established by a decree of the Soviet government, The mercury was 25 below zero as the preparations for the funeral be- gan, but the crowd which has been gathering since early morning, con- tinued to increase until its outer- most limits were lost to the eye. All of Moscow had turned out to pay a last tribute to the dead leader.

The corpses of those who tried to run were found dotting the pathway by the rescuers later. Forty-five miners who gathered in entry No. 1 which they curtained off were saved and communicated with rescuers later by telephone, Two hundred and ninety of the men in the mine when the explosion oc- curred reached the main entry and were lifted to the surface in safety. A hundred miners formed them- selves into rescue squads to hunt for the 60 still missing, more than half of whom it was afterwards found had perished, Thru the smoky, gas- filled darkness of the underground passages they groped. Hundreds of men and women braved the zero weather—waiting breathlessly for the remnants of their loved ones that would be salvaged from the bituminous caverns. Herbert McCullough, mine man~- ager, and Jesse Ford, “face boss,” were among the first bodies identified dead.

(Special to The Daily Worker) SHANKTOWN, Pa.—Forty- nine more lives are believed to be added:to the toll the mine industry has taken in the last two days. The latest list of victims comes from the Barnes and Tucker Coal company’s mine here which was shattered by a mysterious gas explosion. Rescuers have almost given up hope of finding any traces of more than one body at pres- ent. Deadly gas still lurks in the workings and the water is rising rapidly.

The miners know McLachlan’s fighting record and they knew that tho he might have made mistakes they were mistakes of head and not of the heart, They forced a hearing for him Bends Before the Storm, When Philip Murray, Vice Presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America, and Mr. John L, Lewis’s right hand man, rose to suggest that there being considerable dissatisfac- tion with the disposition of the reso- lutions demanding the reinstatement of James B, McLachlan and Dan Livingstone in their offices from which they were deposed, he indicated that Lewis preferred to bend before the storm of reyolt that was surg- ing thru the convention rather than permit it to breal: his official power The sentiment against the anto- cratic treatment accorde! Nova Scotia delegates was not con- fined to what is called the progres- sive or radical wing of the conven- tion. a tion was reaching up to the official family, and while there is no reason to suppose that Mr. Lewis had a change of heart over the matter, there is every reason to believe that he saw the handwriting on the wall and that a Howat case was perhaps enough for one convention without adding to it that of the imprisoned battler, Jim McLachlan, and his as- sociates, When the steam roller flattened out the opposition without giving it a chance to make itself heard, there was considerable rejoicing among the administration. But that rejoicing was short lived. As I pointed out in previous dispatches the first defeat suffered by the machine was appar- ently on a trivial motion, but was really a protest against the shutting off of debate. I have reason to be- lieve that the administration under- stood it as such, Murray At the Wheel. Philip Murray was the man at the wheel when the roller was turned loose on the convention,’ so it was rather fitting that he should be obliged to do penance for his sins, and hig action was an implied con- fession that his conduct was un- warranted, That is putting it mildly, of course, This is a rank and file conven- tion. The great majority of the del- egates are coal diggers. They work at their trade. They did not come to the eonvention to crucify any- body and if given a fair chance to judge they can be depended on to vote according to their convictions. They want to be fair and in my opinion the very fact that Jim Mac- Lachlan igs now behind the prison bars for his loyalty to the miners ‘Canada and of this gountry as well, every delegate on the convention floor whois not attached to the official machine or whose mind is not filled by prejudice, There is a great human side to the case of the Nova Scotia miners that arouses the emotions of these honest toilers. Most of them may have been in strikes. In some parts of the country a reign of terror under semi-feudal conditions still prevails,’ The few remarks made by Fred Mooney, of West Virginia, brought that home to everyone who heard him, The miners know that Jim McLachlan went to jail, not for betraying the miners but for fighting the capitalists of Nova Sco- tia represented by the British Em- pire Steel Company. Betrayers of la- bor don’t go to jail. There is no miner so simple that he does not know that, The miners at this con- vention are not as much concerned! about whether McLachlan obeyed the law as is John L.

Whether this story is found- ed on fact or not cannot be stated with authority as no official state- ment has yet been issued as to when the Howat case will come up for consideration. The Howat supporters are rather suspicious, however, and this story may be the result of that suspicion, It is likely, therefore, that an early con- sideration of the Howat case will be demanded by the delegates, ne, rounded by a well paid and well oiled machine. It is easy to strut and pose before a large audience of workers, but the miners knew that it is an entirely different proposi- tion to challenge the mighty power of the British Empire's leading cap- italists backed by the armed forces of that Robber Empire. That is what McLachlan has done and he is now suffering for his temerity, Without doubt a great majority of the delegates do not agree with Jim MeLachlan’s political views, Their minds are poisoned against radical ideas by the red hysteria that is daily peddled about by McLach- lan’s enemies, They may not take very seriously the discussion over a labor party or other matters of that sort but regardless of McLach- lan's political and social views it is my opinion that before this conven- tion is over they will restore him to his rightful place as Secretary- Treasurer of District No, 26 and re- buke Mr. Lewis for his action in expelling him and his comrades, White Is for the System. The delegates from Canada who work in the mines are strong for McLachlan, It is true that John P, White, former international presi- dent, who resigned his position dur- ing the war to serve the government in the capacity of labor adviser for a salary of $1.00 a year while the miners paid him a real salary, is strongly opposed to Jim Mc- Lachlan and the ideas he holds, But Mr, White is a staunch upholder of the capitalist system which the rightful leaders of the Nova Scotia miners are fighting. White looks quite prosperous—he admits he is— under this system that keeps the miners toiling in the bowels of the earth for comparatively little com- nsation while their masters live paced It is no wonder that White and McLachlan clash. It is not John L, Lewis clash. They have different social ideals. Y Lewis are capitalist henchmen while McLachlan and Howat fight for la- bor, But the class conscious work- ers are with McLachlan and with Howat, while the praises of their opponents are sung by the capitalist press. The Shadow on the Constitution, The Canadian prison where the fighting mine leadr, eim MeLach- lan, is held, has cast a shadow over this convention which will not be cleared away until the wrong that been committed against the Nova Scotia mine leaders is righted.

Roosevelt said he advised Wahlberg to “tell the whole truth for the country.” “You are sure Wahlberg said these checks went to the foreman of the Fall ranch,” Smoot asked him. “Yes, sir, I’m sure.” “You didn’t see any checks?” “No, sir.” Roosevelt then told of s) tele conversation with Wahlberg which revealed previously to the committee.
