Page Two THE DAILY WORKER FRANC DROPS: M. POINCARE MAY RESIGN Brokers a Yelling Mob as Paris Bourse Opens . PARIS, Feb. 19.—The French Franc suffered a fresh collapse today, crashing from 23.80 to the dollar at the opening to 24.30 at 11:10 A. M. Conditions in the money market were described as “pan- icky.” The Chamber of Deputies was in stormy session all night, until 5:30 in the morning, in frantic discussion of the situa- tion. 8x Increase Adopted. The Chamber adopted Premier Poincare's proposal for a 20 per cent increase in taxes, chief measure in his financial reform program, at 3 a. m., after an uproarious debate. This was followed by a vote of confidence in the premier. The vote was 300 to 223, showing a marked break from Poincare. Communists led the opposition. Poincare, worn out physically and harried continually by the opposi- tion, faced another trial today when the senate reconvened to discuss electoral reform. Premier May Resign. Political wiseacres believed the situation in the senate might be dangerous, as Poincare already has said he intends to make the electoral reform project involve confidence in his cabinet and will resign if the proposal is adopted. President Millerand also opposes the bill, declaring he will refuse to sign it if it is sent to him and will resign if it is passed over his veto. The session of the Chamber end- ing in adoption of part of the gov- ernment’s financial program began yesterday afternoon and debate brought unrestrained verbal ex- changes and even blows before it ended. Deputy Bokanowski’s announce- ment that quotations on the pound sterling had passed 100 francs, pre- cipitated an uproar. Communists Lead Opposition. Bokanowski declared the crash of the franc was the fault of obstruc- tionists in the Chamber, hindering the voting on the premier’s financial projects. At 7:30 p. m. it was evident Poin- care was determined to have a show- down. He demanded the Chamber sit thruout the night, if necessary, to put over his proposal for the tax increase and the Chamber agreed. The session dragged along, with Communists continually obstructing a vote on each amendment. Aet Like Maniacs. There was intense excitement when the bourse opened at noon. The interior of the stock market was jammed with a yelling mass of brok- ers, swamped with orders for heavy selling of French securities and pur- chasing of foreign issues. The rush of orders was so great that departments were swamped and no quotations were listed for several minutes after the opening. Financial circles were in a near panic because of the sharp break in prices, as it had been expected the quick action of the Chamber of Deputies in voting the 20 per cent tax increase would exercise a sta- bilizing effect on the market. The government was reported considering mew measures to halt the slump. er @ Tax Increase Is Failure. LONDON, Feb. 19.—Despite action of the Chamber of Deputies in ado ing Premier Poincare’s proposal for a 20 cent increase in taxes, the franc declined steadily after the opening of the money market here.

Today was Sunday, and the typists and shorthand-writers, a merry noisy lot of people, would come to the Politdep only at eleven.

Each letter of his signature was round, clear, finished, and only to the last Matu- senko added a little thin, timorous tail. Taking off his coat and hanging it up, Matusenko smoothed his hair with a comb and went into the office of the Chief; there stood his tidy little table, covered with pink blotting paper. Matusenko looked into the Chief’s inkpot—was there plenty of ink?

Chiefs also he estimated variously: some pleased him, others did not; some he feared and did not understand, others he understood and did not fear; but in general he thought a lot about his chiefs and followed them with his little eyes, Matusenko did not like Goloviev, who was noisy, rough, with un- shaven chin and untidy dress. On one occasion Matusenko was going to help Golovley on with his coat, but he broke away from that affec- tionate embrace, looked round with amused surprise and spoke words for. Don’t delay.

Who asked you to be a lacquey?” “Obviously,” decided Matusenko, “Golovlev is a low fellow, a work- man, makes grammatical nfistakes in writing, and, when he gets angry, swears indelicately.” But, tho Matusenko disliked and feared Golovlev, Golovlev was the Chief, and that meant that one had to submit and with a smile listen to his coarse reproofs, ... . Often Matusenko mused over this strange order of things as a result of which he, a_ well-brought-up educated man, having the title of military clerk, had to obey the uneducated hooligan, Golovlev. It was true that the Republic was named “Workers’ and Peas- ants’,” and Golovlev was a worker, but in the bottom of his soul Matu- senko thought that all these names, “Socialist Federated Republic,” all these signs and watchwords, were the same sort of official things as the title of the Emperor, which Matusenko knew by heart. The coming of Martuinov broke Matusenko’s reveries, and he re- plied to Martuinov’s polite greet- ing with a bow and sweet smile. Martuinov was altogether differ- ent from Golovlev, gracious, neat, always shaved, badly dressed, it was true, but at that Matusenko was always surprised, He never shouted, and indeed in the highest degree offensive, un- (Continued from Page 1) prosecution in the oil lease cases, that the public had lost confidence in the administration of the Department of Justice, while Mr. Daugherty’s de- partment is the only branch of the government that the public can look to in the administration of justice. 24 Hour Reprieve. Belief that Daugherty would get out was strengthened when it was learned today that Senator Wheeler, Montana, author of a resoluton pro- posing a senate investigation of Daugherty’s administration, was asked by Senator Willis, a close friend of Daugherty, and one of those at last nights’ conference, to “hold off for 24 hours.” Daugherty was expected to decide in that time what to do.

At the White House today it was stated on behalf of President Cool- idge that Daugherty had not resigned and that there had been no discus- sion of his case there. This was stated in the face of statements by cabinet members that Daugherty’s case was discussed in the cabinet meeting, informally at least, and that Daugherty remained with Mr. Cool- idge after the cabinet meeting ended. It was apparent that Mr. Coolidge does not intend at this time to ask the attorney-general to step out.

Daugherty today urged friends in the senate to call up at once and have passed the Wheeler resolution for an investigation of his administration of the department of justice. Daugh- erty wants the resolution amended to eliminate a statement in the preamble that he has lost the confidence of the country, At a conference with Senator Willis, Ohio; Pepper and Reed, Pennsylvania, and Moses, New Hamp- shire, Daugherty discussed in detail the handling of the resolution and re- quested the amendment be made. At the conference, senators said, he gave the impression that he did not intend to resign unless asked to do so by President Cooldge, until he had been given an opportunity to reply to his critics. His resignation wgs dis- cussed “only incidentally” at the con- ference, senators said. } Wil Quiz Daugherty. eement was reached this af- tet whereby the Senate will adopt a resolution to investigate Daugherty. Senator Wheeler, Montana, demo- erat, and author of the first investi- gation resolution, coNferred with Senator Willis, Ohio, republican, and friend of Daugherty. Willis told Wheeler that his orig- inal resolution would be fought by republicans. Willis wanted the pre- amble modified so that it would not contain the allegation that the de- rtment of justice had lost the con- idence of the people. Wheeler agreed, The agreement assures adoption of the resolution. The only point remaining to be de- cided is whether a special committee or the regular judiciary committee shall make the investigation, Can't Fix Par Value.

The Land for the Users! “Gentlemanly education, studied in the Gymnasium,” thought Matu- senko with respect. But Martuinov always felt uncomfortable when the officious Matusenko took it into his head to get his rations for him and to carry them himself to his lodgings. But Martuinov was too much occupied in thinking about the revolution, Communism, his ow} life and that of mankind, and did not observe at all that of the offi- cious and humble Matusenko had long ago studied Martuinov’s whole, rings on his fingers, and a broad, being, had studied it and under- stood it after his fashion, And behold Matusenko in a quiet, gentle voice, asking Martuinov “Why do people believe in God?” or “What is Imperialism?” or “When will there be a world-wide Communist Revolution?” And Martuinov would grow animated and begin to answer the questions, and thought of Matusenko, “a knowledge-seeking fellow . .. only without enough self-respect or self-confidence,” He did not know that Matusenko had the utmost self-confidence, knew his own road thru life, and was watching every- thing attentively, like a wild ani- mal, and did not listen at all to Martuinov’s long explanations. For Martuinoy the days followed each other in a swift procession, and the long Winter of the Urals had passed without his knowing it. In_Autumn, on the threshold of the Winter, it had seemed to him that he would not live thru it and here it was, gone already and Mar- tuinov wags once more on the edga of existence, Spring had com and with extraordinary joy he ha felt, suddenly, that she was sooth- ing him affectionately with tender hand, like an elder sister, and kiss- ing him with a warm kiss. Today as usual the military Commissars came to the Politdep (many had incorrectly understood that last circular letter) and the Commander of the battalion of the Cheka, a handsome young fellow, in red breeches and elegant tunic, who as his custom was, cavilled suspiciously over every detail, see- ing in everything the bureaucrat- ism of the Politdep, said with a good-humored laugh as he went off, “All right, Comrade Martuinov, yours to command—ours to obey, ++» but it’s bureaucratism all the same.” The officious Matusenko flashed across his eyes with papers for his signature; there was some schoolteacher standing there mak- ing a report and saying that he would not go to work—no boots— pointing to his wet snowboots, But all this, once upon a time in- teresting even in its details, lit up by the revolution, today was dull and tedious. And Martiunov often went out on the stone steps, from which the snow was melting, and blinked blissfully in the sunlight. * After dinner in the noisy Soviet refectory came some free time, rare for Martuinov; there was no lecture or meeting. He walked slowly to his lodging thru the dirty, cheerful streets, and did not notice that he was getting his feet wet and that by his slow steps he was interfering with the boys who were playing at knucklebones on the drying pavements. He walked and, as usual, thought. The houses he had known from his childhood, the tedious name- boards, and the grey railings of his native town waked memories of his! past life, of his family who had fled to Siberia, of his school- fellows, for the most part White Guards, and of the strange fate that had brought him, a “gentle- man’s son,” brought up in the com- fort of a bourgeois family, into the ranks of the Communist Party, whose outlook on the world had become his, and to whose great cause he was so warmly devoted, in spite of which it was as if glass walls separated him from the rest of the Party, and made him lone- ly and gave him much bitter suf- ering. And he thought of her who liveg here in the town, by the old town, by the old church, of her whom he loved and still passion- ately desired, tho she was far, far away, separated from him by the revolution, (To Be Continued Thursday.)

TENEMENT FIRE Two Families Nearly Wiped Out by Flames (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Feb. 19—A gibbering epileptic, an ex-soldier, is ‘ieved to be the firebug who set a crowded east side tenement in flames early today, snuffing out at least 13 lives. The man was arrested as he was shuffling hurriedly from the building by a passing policeman. He was un- able to give coherent answers to questions. Flames were sweeping into the lower levels of the building when dis- covered by a policeman. Almost im- mediately afterward he saw the strange looking man emerging from the structure and placed him under arrest. The suspect gave his name as Lewis Schoentel |, a news butcher, and his. address in a street several blocks from where the fire occurred. He had army discharge papers and a small vial of white powder in his pockets. “I haven’t any matches; you can search me if you want,” he said when seized by the policeman.

Overtures of immunity have been made by the senate Teapot Dome committee, it was disclosed today, to induce reluctant witnesses to tell the facts about reported corruption of government officials in connection with the oil scandal. The committee has been given new evidence but it cannot be disclosed unless certain witnesses will agree to testify, a committee member said. Negotiations are under way to bring this about. S. D, Bowers, New York, of the law firm of Laughlin, Girard, Bow- ers & Halpin, personal attorneys for H. H. Benkard, appeared before the in executive session to- day. Later he made this statement: “We were subpoenaed to produce records of certain stock transactions and these records were produced, We have no knowledge or informa- tion that these records in any way affect any one connected with the matter under investigation.” Benkard and H. A. Cook, office manager for the Benkard brokerage office, and Lewis H. Bond, investiga- tor for the federal trade commission, were also before the committee. Experts on Books. Senator Lenroot, chairman of the committee, said no effort had been made this morning to make any com- plete scrutiny of the books. Ac- countants employed by the commit- tee will do that in Kew York and report back to the committee. The only statement Lenroot would make about the executive session of the committee was: “We have consulted officials from the Benkard and Company stock brokerage firm of New York. They have produced certain books and ex- pressed entire belgian to produce all that we desire. The records, how- ever, are somewhat voluminous so we have appointed accountants to examine theni.” Harry Payne Whitney, millionaire sportsman of New York, and Elmer E. Smathers, brokers, who were also subpoenaed, failed to appear. Smath- ers was said to be in Europe. All that Lenroot would say about Whit- ney was that “we have a subpoena out for him.” t The matter of immunity was thr first question brought up before the committee, Senator Wheeler, colleague of Sen- ator Walsh of Montana, is understood to have raised the question. Later Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special counsel, were called in and a decision was reached to leave the question of immunity to them. The point was brought up that the commitee itself really had no power to grant anyone immunity and only the. private word of the attorneys could be given.
