Page Two THE DAILY WORKER eremoenrwimemran FORBES, HEAD OF VET BUREAU, IS CAL'S NEW PERIL Teapot’s Understudy Is All Set to Go (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2.— Col. Charles R, Forbes, former head of the Veterans Bureau, has begun preparations for a fight for his Tb. erty. Pefosing to comment on the bri- bery indictment returned against him late yesterday by a grand jury in Chi- cago, Forbes after conference with his counsel, James Easby-Smith, said merely that arrangements will be made within a day or two to have Forbes go before a United States Commissioner here and give bail of $5,000 for his appearance in Chicago when he is wanted, Until he and his counsel have de- termined their course, Forbes will have nothing to say, it was said on his behalf. But it was indicated at the same time that his trial is likely to result in disclosures even more sensational than those before the senate committee which led to the calling of the grand jury and the in- dictments against Forbes and J. W. Thompson, Chicago and St. Louis con- tractor. In the senate’s investigation, testi- mony of scores of witnesses centered about the charge that Forbes had en- tered into a conspiracy to allot hospi- tal construction contracts to favored contractors, J. W. Thompson, St. Louis, indicated yesterday was named as head of one of the construction firms favored by Forbes. $5,000 Paid in Bathroom. Elias H. Mortimer, Philadelphia, former intimate associate of Forbes, testified that he had given Forbes $5,000 in a bathroom in the Drake Hotel, Chicago, as part payment to Forbes for favors rendered the Thompson firm which Mortimer re- presented. Mortimer also testified Forbes had agreed to a division of all construc- tion between two groups of contrac- tors, one to get all jobs west of the Mississippi and the other all those in the east, the profits to be split three ways among the two groups and Forbes. Another charge brought against Forbes during the hearings involved him in the sale of quantities of gov- ernment supplies at far below proper prices. It was for this, Brigadier General Sawyer testified, President Harding asked for his resignation. In defense Forbes declared Mor- timer’s testimony was based on per- sonal enmity. Mortimer admitted he had separated from his wife on account of quarrels begun during the period he and Mrs. Mortimer ac- rompen.od eu—an—iitepeetion- trip. to the Pacific coast. At the conclusion of the senate in- restigation, all evidence was turned ever to the Department of Justice which sought in Chicago the indict- ment since returned by the grand fury. In connection with the new evi- lence, the jury stated: “1—That one or more officials of the government used official informa- ion for purposes of speculation, “2_That two members of Congress were paid certain sums of money. “3—That persons having no official tonnection with the government or that particular department, had pos- session of a file of a federal de- vartment. “4—-That money was accepted by vertain individuals, not attorneys, for the purpose of obtaining clemency for prisoners, thru their intimacy vith officials of the government. “5—That money was collected by tertain individuals, not attorneys, for ybtaining thru such intimacies, per- nits for intoxicating liquors.” Thompson, who was in Chicago when the indictments were returned, turrendered and appeared before federal Judge Carpenter. He gave $10,000 bond. Forbes is in Washing- ion and is expected here this week. Toronto Workers Are Now Getting Lesson in Class Government (By The Federated Press) TORONTO, March 2.—Under the Farmer-Labor government the work- men’s compensation act was admin- istered by the provincial department if labor. The Conservative govern- rent has now handed it back to the attorney general who had charge un- fer the Conservative regime which preceded the Farmer-Labor cabinet. Manufacturers criticize the adminis- tration of the law under the labor fepartment and now want the gov- trnment to provide for appeals and allow lawyers to be heard in such tases, The local labor unions are suspicious of the charge proposed and fear that the object of the manufac- turers is to get rid of Halford, the labor man on the board, Attempt to Force Religion on Helpless Children, Defeated (By The Federated Press.) SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 2.— An attempt to force religious instruc- tion on the school children of Cali- fornia has been frustrated by a de- tision by Attorney General Webb that it would be illegal to close public tchools an hour earlier two days a week in order to allow pupils to at- send religious exercises. “It would be unwarranted discrim- mation to keep children whose par- mts do not desire them to havé re- igious intsruction two hours longer in school than those who do Lae ack instructi ion,” says Webb. — Old Guardsmen Smoot and Lenroot Nervous Wrecks Since Doublecross of Probe Exposed By LAURENCE TODD WASHING ‘Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) TON, Mar. 2.—Senator Smoot, apostle of the Mormon church and for many years blustering boss of the republican old guard on the senate floor, has been tamed, shaken, | hushed by the oil scandal investigation. Something has gone. wrong with Smoot’s world. He sits beside Chairman Lenroot and nervously twists one hand in the other. His voice is almost never heard, and when he does try to speak it is scarcely above a whisper. His eyes no longer bore thru the countenances of the men who testify before his committee. His glance is rov- ing, or it rests for long periods on the table. Smoot’s “Unbiased Report”. Smooth was chairman of this com- mittee when it was ordered by the senate, a year ago last summer, to inquire ipto LaFollette’s charge that the leasing of the nava) oil reserves was a stupendous fraud on the public, based on a criminal conspiracy. For nearly a year he was too busy to press the matter. Then with reluc- tance he started hearings, and filed triumphantly the report of the two “unbiased experts” who made a re- port which suggested that Teapot Dome had only a small fraction of the value that formerly had been placed upon it. Then Senator Walsh of Montana began his examination of witnesses, and looked into the records of the two experts, and into the sud- den riches displayed by former Sec- retary Fall. Smoot began visibly to wilt. Smoot, Doheny and Company. December came, and Smoot took another chairmanship, but remained on the public lands committee. He has attended almost every session in the long and sensational inquiry which Walsh hag developed. At first Smoot and Lenroot strove to protect Fall and the leases, but soon they had to drop that line of obstruction. There came the day of Doheny’s confession that he had paid $100,000 in bank- notes to Fall, That was the day that Smoot slipped a note into Dohe- ny’s hand, and Doheny, when Walsh called upon him to show it, dug from his pocket a heap of tiny fragments of paper, saying that Smoot had merely asked him to meet Smoot in the latter’s room after the session, Lenroot Has Heebie-Jeebies. Lenroot has been nervous too, at times. Whether the matter be only a coincidence or not, it was evident to all who attended the hearings that these two henchmen of the adminis- tration shared a mystery that is de- nied to ordinary hard-shelled reac- tionaries, such as Bursum, Cameron and Pittman. Now they have admit- ted that they conferred with Fall be- fore he went on the stand. There came the day when the local manager for the Western Union Tele- graph Co. was summoned before the committee with copies of the great number of telegrams dealing with this oil probe which went from here to McLean of the Washington Post and to Fall, his guest, at Palm Beach, at the time Senator Walsh was going down #here to get McLean to con- fess that his testimony as to a $100,- 000 loan to Fall pas a lie. Walsh began to read, to himself, the first of the telegrams. Smoot peered anxiously over his shoulder. Suddenly Walsh’s eyebrows went up. Smoot looked ill. Both men whis- pered to Lenroot. Then, without con- sulting any of the six other mem- bers who sat about the table, Len- root declared they would go into se- cret session. Walsh interrupted him, Lenroot rapped the table again and explained in an agitated voice that all parts of the telegrams that were found to be relevant to this oil in- vestigation would be read in public session later on. Smoot wrung his hands, and looked as tho he were about to collapse. Lenroot was far from composed. Afterward, a Democratic member admitted that “big politics” was af- fected by the revelations found in this stream of reports which went by wire to McLean and Fall in Florida. The men suspected in the fraud were being kept intimately in touch with the committee itself. Now Smoot and Lenroot admit they conferred with Fall before, he took the stand. Crowe Aids Garment Bosses In War on Striking Labor (Continued from page 1.) | the entire year they must come to the shops and do the work that is to be done. Some times they are thru at noon, sometimes’ before. While they are waiting for a little work to do they get nothing. When the boss has a large order they must work all hours of the day or night to get the order done only to be without work a few weeks later. Must Help Out Husbands. Many of the women who work in the dress industry in Chicago are the wives of very Oeil paid foreign- born workers. ley go to work to supplement the wages of their hus- bands, When they have children the children must take care of themselves while their mothers work. The kids go to school when they are old enough. After school they play in the streets or wherever they can, When the children are too young to go to school they are put in day nurseries. For this the mothers must pay. After the mother has completed a days work in the shop she goes home to take care of her children and prepare meals for her husband. Many of the girls who work in the dress and waist industry live at home. Their wages are so small that they cahnot support themselves. The girls who do not live at home must manage as best they can on the small wages they receive. When they get a weeks pay that seems large, $35 or $38, they are compelled to save @ good part of it for the slack seasons. Girls Huddled Together, Often these girls who are not liv- ing at home are compelled to live three and more in one room in order to economize. Working on a piece work basis at high speed and long hours part of the time and being idle most of the time helps to break down the health of the workers, The bosses in the industry attempt to bring back prosperity by cutting babs and promising to cut prices and telling the workers; “If I make cheaper garments more of them will sell and that will make more work. I can only eut prices by cutting your way talde the union wie 7 the girls are not sure of an equal division of BREAK has occurred in the ranks of the employers who are fight- the dressmakers’ strike against conditions—as the DAILY WORKER forecasted.

The boss gives the work he has to do during slack times to the workers he wants to give it to. Often workers anxious to get a little work are willing to work very cheaply. They establish a practice. Once they work for less than the regular a the bosses try to cut them to the same level even during busy seasons. In union shops when there is little ®ork to do what there is to be done is equally divided. Worry Even White Working. , “We know what it is to be hungry. We know what it is to go without and to worry even when we are working. We have worked in the dress industry for years without knowing where or when we would get another wage cut, “To strike is not as bad as to live in fear that you would not get a share of the little work that there is to do,” the girl striker who told her story to the DAILY WORKER said. Farmers Get Excited.

The early victory of the union over 15 employers has given renewed im- petus to the strike.

PHILADELPHIA WORKERS FOR . ST. PAUL MEET Teapot Dome Inspires Them to Action ¢ PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 2.— “On to St. Paul!” was the slogan is- sued by the Workers Party of Phila- delphia at the mass meeting held in connection with the Teapot Dome seandal now under investigation in Washington. Comrade Baker of Machinists Union made a survey of the oil scandal and pointed out that it is not a matter of individual cor- ruption but that the entire govern- ment is corrupt being a tool of big business interests, Comrade Sklaroff with facts in his hands showed that American history is full of Teapot Domes and that the present oi] scandal is but one link in a bong chain of corruption of capital- ist governments. Continuous applause greeted Com- rade Weinstone’s speech in which he enumerated the part played by the leaders of both republican and demo- cratic parties in the notorious oil scandal. His appeal to work for the establishment of a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government and to sup- port the May 30th Convention met with great enthusiasm. Comrade Jakira, District Organizer Workers Party, pointed out the role of the Workers Party in the Amer- ican labor movement and made an appeal to the audience to join the Party to build the trade union move- ment and to carry on a campaign for establishment of a labor ‘party in Philadelphia. A resolution was adopted unanim- ously, condemning bi republican and democratic parties as agents of big business interests and pledging full support to the labor party move- ment, The resolution in the concluding part reads: “Whereas a Convention has beén called for May 30th at St. Paul, by the Farmer-Labor Party of Minne- sota, the Federated Farmer-Labor Party, the Farmer-Labor parties of Washington, Montana and South Da- kota, and other organizations, for the nomination of a farmer-labor candidate for president and the adoption of a national platform and this convention gives the opportunity to create the mass Farmer-Labor Party which will carry on the fight for a Workers’ and Farmers’ Gov- ernment, “Be it resolved, that we, workers in mass meeting atsembled, endorse this May 30th Convention and pledge sabes to carry on a vigorous cam- aign in trade’ unions and other bor Sete of "Philadelph ia, urging them to send delegates to that convention and that we call upon all working class organizations to re- pudiate both the republican and de- mocratic parties and to proceed with the organization of a class Labor Party in Philadelphia.” Did Not Do Unto Her, as He Did Unto Others, Wife’s Charge NEW YORK, March 2.—For the first time, the fundamentalist- modernist schism in the Episcopal church has invaded the home and became the cause of divorce. Wm. H. Griffin, New York lawyer, has answered his wife’s suit for) divorce by asserting that their dif- ferences are due to the fact that Mrs. Griffin is a modernist, while he has been and remains a fundamentalist’. Draw Your Own Conclusions. In her complaint, Mrs. Griffin charged misconduct at Atlantic City and that her husband failed to show her affection, But Griffin says the trouble ip due to “the plaintiff’s views regarding religion.” were married in 1906. x3 “The plaintiff fdvors the school of thought of which the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant is the most conspicu- ous exponent at the present. time.” The lawyer's submitted by a law partn is in part. He Was Hard Boiled. Griffin accuses his wife of being “a veritable iconoclast in religious mat- ters,” and declares he is content to allow all dogmatic dissertations to be shattered against the solid rock of fundamentalism. “The plaintiff, with free rein,” ar the answer, “has chased practi- lly all the isms which this city offers to such seekers.” Mrs. Griffin today denied her hus- band’s statements and said she be- lieves in the orthodox aprons of Christian religion and that she still belongs to the Episcopalian church, Japanese Prince Tries to Stage a Comeback: He Fails (Special to The Daily Worker) TOKIO, Japan, March 2,—-Formal announcement of the death of Prince Matsukata, one of the two surviving members of the Genro, or “Elder Statesmen” of Japan, was made to- jay. ‘Three days ago he was first de- clared dead. then the announce- ment was termed as “premature.” Since that time it has remained in- definite as to whether he were dead or alive, 6 It was reported that announcement of the death was being withheld un- til the Prince Regent could confer upon him certain last honors, Matsukata was twice Premier of Japan and was the organizer of the Japanese monetary system, . / mpeach Coolidge -(Continued from page 1.) spies and perjure! rom and protect men like McLean—the millionaire debauchee to whom the White House is open. ; Corruption Like That Under Czar’s Rule There is no parallel for the corruption in government cir- cles in America today except that in Russia during the latter with the aid of an army of days of the Czar’s rule.

U. S. Code Used by Burns to Warn McLean; Inner Circle D. of J. at Oil Crooks’ Disposal NEW YORK, March 2.—Translation of secret code tele- grams exchanged by Edward B. McLean with his Washington agents while the publisher was in Palm Beach during the open- ing days of the Teapot Dome investigation, has been furnished the Senate committee by the New York World, according to a copyright article published by that newspaper. The World states there is reason to believe that the code used was that of the department of justice and that one of the messages to McLean reveals Wm. J. Burns, director of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, as an ac- ‘tive informant of McLean on developments in the Teapot Dome inquiry. Telegrams Recorded.
