q — Page Two THE DAILY WORKER OIL MAGNATE MAY “PEACH” ON HIS PALS Heads To Fall If Sinclair Squawks (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.— Harry F. Sinclair will be called to the witness stand Monday in the oil scandal inquiry, Chair- man Lenroot of the Teapot (Dome Committee announced. The committee believes Sin- clair has “the whole story” and they intend to compel him to tell it. Lenroot said he saw no reason for issuing an immediate subpoena for Sinclair, who arrives in New York today. The chairman has been in- formed that Sinclair will communi- cate immediately with the committee and agree to appear on Monday. Senator Walsh of Montana, the chief investigator, has asked that Sinclair be met with an immediate subpoena as soon as he steps from the boat. Senator Adams, Colorado democrat, in Walsh’s absence, agreed that the subpoena be issued. Sinclair Still Busy. “Mr. Sinclair says he is a busy man and I’m afraid he will think he is too busy to appear before the committee,” Adams said. Walsh will return for the resump- tion of hearings Monday. Here is the evidence wanted from Sinclair: 1. Whether or not he loaned more than $25,000 to former Secretary of Interior Fall before or after he ob- tained the lease on Teapot Dome from Fall; whether he used money with any other person or persons for influence in connection with the Teases. 2. What he knows about aj $1,000,- 000 slush fund alleged to have been raised in New York thru “big oil interests” to cover stock losses of government officials. 3. Whether or not he was “black- mailed” by any one who has prior information regarding the sudden in- crease in wealth of Fall about the time the leases were made. The testimony of Sinclair is re- garded as the crux of the govern- ment case and may vitally affect the criminal prosecutions in contempla- tion. Harry Payne Whitney, millionaire sportsman of New York, has in- ~fornre’ d Benfoot he will appear be- fore the committee, Whitney owns a large block of shares of the Mam- moth Oil company—the corporation under which Sinclair leased Teapot Dome. The committee has demanded production of certain of his books. Elkins Uncovered. Thru “leaks” from the committee room the name of Senator Elkins of West Virginia, alleged to have been found on the books of the Benkard brokerage concern in New York was disclosed. The senato® himself 1- mains in seclusion. It is considered likely that he will soon ask permission to appear be- fore the investigating committee and explain his speculations. Activities of the committee today swere again behind closed doors. M.

Henchmen Sound Alarm, On Sunday, Senator Lenroot and Pomerene were forced to rush to the White House with alarming news dis- closures. Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana, who has been trying to get Daugherty kicked out of the cabinet and who has fought Denby and the oil and railroad crowd on every point at issue, had: set off a mine under their feet. Coolidge talked with Len- root until late in the night, Next mornin, Coolidge talked over the telephone with Denby, whereupon Denby suddenly announced his resignation, and the White House announced its acceptance. Coolidge had pledged himself against sacri- ficing Denby, a few days earlier, and Denby had sworn never to resign, Five Bombshells. Wheeler spent Monday morning in consultation with senate leaders on the Democratic side. It was soon reported around the capitol that: 1. A stock-broker firm in New York, would be found to have had huge dealings with certain persons in Washington in officia) life. These deals were in oil securities. 2. Harry Payne Whitney, who put $2,000,000 into the Teapot Dome deal, would be called back to testify again, on stock transac- tions. 3. Wilton J. Lambert, local at- torney for Edw. B. McLean, pub- lisher of the Washington Post, had given “important information.” Lambert was the man’ who advised McLean to admit, in Palm Beach, that he had lied when he told the senate committee that he had lent $100,000 to Fall. 4. McLean would take the stand, and might create a bigger sensa- tion than when he forced Doheny to confess his loan to Fall. 5. Interest in Wheeler’s resolu- tion demanding Daugherty’s resig- nation went up, due to the fact that Daugherty has been a special pal of McLean, and even occupied McLean’s “House of Mystery” near the Shoreham Hotel. Seabed from Page 1) state no evidencé that the painter defendant had ever met with the four members of the upholsterers’ union. Conspiracy between O’Shea and MeKenna, the two business agents of the upholsterers’ union could be shawn, the /ingenious states’ attorney alleged, by the fact that both of them worked to win the $1.25 an hour demands of their union. This Ro- mano said he regarded as proof of conspiracy in violation of law, to ruin the business of the boss uphol- sters by threatening to call a \strike to enforce the damends for $1.25 an hour the business agents attempted to coerce the bosses and in that way violated the law. The demands of the men, if acceded to by the bosses, would have ruined their business he said. After this unblushing introduction to his open shop philosophy the state’s attorney declared that after the strike was called the union con- spired to ruin the business of the bosses by agreeing to picket, using stickers asking other building trades workers to ask the men laying car- pets to show their union cards and in other ways. He said in effect that all the ef- forts of the union to make their strike effective were attempts to ruin the business of the boss upholsters. The state would attempt to prove by testimony that various employing upholsters were prevented from car- rying out their contract by the strike activities of the union and, therefore, the union members on | trial who took part in the activities of the strike are guilty of conspiracy. Union Defense Statement. The defense position was made clear by a brief statement made by \Robert W. Daniels. The defense would depend on the testimony of many of the prosecution’s own wit- nesses to prove that the union was engaged in legitimate trade union ac- tivities only. If the employing upholsters were being interfered with in the carry- ing on of their business they could have hailed the union officials into court for violating an injunction ob- tained against the union in June, He pointed out that not one member of the union had been brought into court for violating the injunction which was very broad in its provi- sions, The injunction was a perfect de- of the DAILY WORKER, appear- contain sketches of the funeral of ssing Lenin bust made by a famous this issue of the DAILY WORKER, Labor Fights “Conspiracy” Charge Only 13 Senators Fi ought Pennsy Fraud Pesney EL K N S H E L D 8,000 SHARES By LAURENCE TODD.

All others either voted for his confirmation or were absent when they knew that this vote would be taken. The men who stood out against Pomerene were Ashurst, Ad- ams, Brookhart, Dill, Frazier, Mag- nus Johnson, LaFollette, Norris, Sheppard, Shipstead, Stanley, Walsh of Montana and Wheeler. Ladd had voted for Pomerene in committee, and was absent on this roll call.

Norris did so after calling attention to a speech made a year ago by Roberts, attack- ing the senate’s investigation into the profits of the oil companies, The net result of the confirming of two pro-corporation attorneys to guard public property in this case is to arouse the fighting progressives to compel an answer on the evidence now to be dragged out into the light of day.

He also pointed out that the prosecutor had been compelled to admit that one of the defendants charged with attempting to wreck the business of the various firms men- tioned in the indictment had on one occasion asked building trades work- ers who objected to working with scab upholsterers to return to work. Bosses’ Secretary Aids State. As n as the defense lawyers had finished their statement and be- fore the prosecution began present- ing testimony, Robert Bronson, sec- retary of the employing upholsters association, took a place at the coun- sel table with the states’ attorneys. All during the court sessions lie helped Assistant States Attorney fo- mano bring out the testimony from the state’s witnesses. William J. Dimmer, assistant gen- era! nianager of Wynefort & GC», an uphoistery firm naned in the indict ment, was the first witness called. He testified briefly that a strike was called by the union on May first and that his firm hired men later under open shop conditions. Under cross examination by Robert W. Daniels, he admitted that his firm had not been prevented from cacrrying out their contracts by the union or the defendants as has been charged in the indictment. ? 4 gy R. C. Haines, William Slater and George Webber, all boss upholsters, testified that on various occasions they had been delayed in the fulfill- ing of contracts by the refusal of union building trades workers to work with scab carpet layers. Corbin Dunham, sident of the Chicago Carpet fpholstery and Drapers association, testified that the employing upholsters refused to set- tle with the union, not because of the demand for $1.25 an hour, but because they would not agree to cer- tain working rules the union wanted to put into effect. He said they ob- jected chiefly to the introduction into each shop of a steward or stew- ardess to represent the workers in disputes between the workers and the bosses, His statement that the bosses did not object particularly to the de- mand for $1.25 an hour was in direct contradiction to what Romano said to the jury in his opening statement. He told them that to pay $1.25 en hour would ruin the bosses, The language of the indictment on which the men are being tried charges that they conspired with “certain persons to the grand jury unknown,” Tn_attempting to get witnesses to testify concerning conversations be. tween witnesses and persons who a not on trial the state’s attorney in- sisted that the person with whom the conversation occurred was one of the “anknown conspirators.” So far there has been no indica- tion when Dudley Taylor, attorney for the Illinois Employers associa- tion, who was the chief mover in hav- ing the indictments returned will tes- tify. SINCLAIR OIL Uncover Name on Books of Brokers (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.— Senator Davis Elkins, West Virginia, today told the DAILY WORKER that he had dealt in Sinclair oil stocks thru Benkard and Company, the New York brokers, whose books were ex- amined yesterday by the Senate Teapot Dome committee. Elkins’ name was found on the books, it has been stated. Elkins said he bought and sold several hundred shares of Sinclair oil stock. “Certainly I bought and sold Sin- clair oil stocks,” said Elkins, “I dealt in several hundred shares thru Benkard and company and I don’t caré who knows it. I buy and_ sell in any kind of stock I want. There is no law against it and my office does not prevent my dealing in stocks, “{ did not have any tip from any one on Sinclair oil and I did not go into any pool. If I had gone into a pool, I would probably have lost more money than I did. “T have not the time nor the money to deal extensively in stocks, but I dealt far more extensively in Bethle- hem Steel and Reading railroad stock than I did in Sinclair oil. “If that is a crime, let them go holler their heads off. The public seems to have gone crazy and there is a lot of hot air in the senate about this oil thing, but it will not disturb me because my transactions were absolutely legitimate, Elkins Is Hardboiled. “If this hysteria continues the only thing to do is to close the stock ex- change and halt all business. The whole thing is silly to me. How are we to have a liquid business unless we buy and sell things?” Asked if he had dealt thru any other firm but Benkard and Com- pany on Sinclair stock, Elkins said he had, but declined to name the firm or firms. “That’s for the committee to find out,” he said, referring to the sen- ate Teapot Dome committee, Following Elkins’ personal state- ment, the followi: s issued from his office “here by hi en SA Fenton: “Senator Elkins has, for the past 15 or 20 years been buying and sell- ing stock thru various brokers in Washington, Philadelphia and New York. In many cases,, he purchased on margin and in others bought stock outright, feeling he had a perfect right to do so, the same as if he bought an automobile or real estate and sold it. “It is true that he purchased from time to time various shares of Sin- clair oil stock, just as he did va- rious other listed securities, particu- larly cotton. “As soon as the price of oil dropped, like in other stocks, he sold out, but so far as Sinclair oil is concerned he did not make one penny profit. “Senator Elkins has been confined bed for two weeks with grip. evaded no one. He is willing to have his stock transactions opened to everyone and he is willing to help prosecute anyone who con- spired against the government. Says It’s a Joke. “Senator Elkins feels that it is a big joke as far as his name is concerned.” It was said Elkins purchased prob- ably between 8,000 and 10,000 shares the’ Sinclair stock. His specula- n during the year 1922 when the leases were granted, showed a profit. It is the understanding among Elkins’ friends here that he will not seek re-election to the senate next year. Guy D. Goff, now stant attorney general, will make the race for the Republican senatorial nom- ination, and , it is stated by Elkins’ friends, is approved by El- ns. Elking is the son of former Sen- ator Stephen B, Elkins of West Vir- ginia, whom he succeeded in the sen- ate in 1911 for the unexpired por- tion of a term. He was elected for a full term in 1918 while he was in bes serving with the Seventh sion, His home is in Morgantown, W. Va., where on the death of his father he assumed charge of the Elkins coal and other interests, which are extensive, He is 48 years of age. Chummy With Whitney. Elking appeared outside the senate Teapot Dome committee room during the executive session this morning.

The warehouse workers and dock train crews in Liverpool are out. Sympathetic ac- tion by deck and engine room crews aboard ships is threatened. With no coal moving out of the ports en- forced idleness in many of the mine fields is resulting. The immediate ef- fect of the dock walkout has been to shut off Britain’s food supply, which comes chiefly from abroad. Anticipat- ing a food shortage fiteers are boosting prices. The government is making plans for rationing supplics as in war days. Glaring Grievances, The grievances of the dock work- ers ate so glaring that, despite the in- convenience to the general poula- tion caused by their action, the strike is a popular one. The country for the most part accepts the figures of the statisticians showing that less than 10 per cent of the dockers re- ceive enough to support themselves much less their families. The strike, which began Feb. 16, came after long negotiations had failed and was or- dered by the unanimous vote of, the delegate conference of the unions. The unions involved are the Trans- port and General Workers’ union, the National Union of General Work- ers, the National Amalgamated Un- ion of Laborers, the United Order of General Laborers, and the Amalga- mated Asociation of Electricians. Bosses Force Strike. The dispute arose out of the re- fusal of the employers to consider a revision of the terms of the Shaw award made in 1920, which provided, among other things for the di ization of labor by establishing the guarantee week with maintenance. The Shaw agreement, fixed the mini- mum at 16 shillings a day in the larger ports and 15 shillings in the smaller. Sige oe eaves ine have brought the wage down shilling and 9 shillings a or.

Squth-Slavs Active. Among the Language branches, the South-Slavie branches have taken the lead, followed closely by the First Cheko-Slovak, the German and the Northwest Russian branches, Some of the members of the Language branches are of the opinion that they have an even chance with the Eng- lish-speaking branches and will be able to score as many points. The City Daily Worker Committee is im- partial as to who will be “chief booster” and does not believe any branch will make a runaway race in the contest, Many of the comrades are active in assisting the speakers at union and other meetings by getting sub- scriptions, as subs gotten in this way are credited to their branch account as well as their own. Young Work- ers League members are in the fore- front in this phase of the work, An active campaign to reach the union members with the message of the DAILY WORKER has started.
