Caivin Coolidge, the White House sphynx, today broke his long silence when he declared in a letter to Manuel Roxas, chairman of the Phil- ippine Independence mission here, |, that the United States government could not grant independence to the Philippines at this time. Calvin Coolidge, the defender of Harry M. Daugherty and the Teapot Dome crooks expressed his conti- dence in the administration of Gef- eral Leonard Wood, one time presi- dential white hope of Colonel Proc- tor of Ivory Soap fame. Wodd’s son is about to be quizzed to explain how he came into possession of near- ly one million dollars thru Wall Street plunges from his father’s headquarters in Manila. Defenders of Civilization. The United States government—or the money barons of Wall Street speaking thru ‘Silent Cal’’—declare that it would not be performing its full duty to civilization were to grant the demands of the Philippines for freedom. fhe greater part of Coolidge’s let- ter was a defense of General Wood now under fire for gross incom- petence and disregard of the inter- ests of the Filipinos in the conduct of his office. It is forecasted ‘here that the Philippine question added to the Teapot scandal may light a fire under the political posterior of Cal- vin Coolidge that will smoke him out of his silence if not out of the White House. The president’s letter is in part as follows: Not Enough Dougheenies. After describing the present situ- ation of the Philippines and what the United States has dore for the islands, President Coolidge declared: “A fair appraisal of all: these con- siderations and of others which sug- gest themselves without requiring enumeration, will, I am sure, justify the frank statement that the govern- ment of the United States would not feel that it has performed its full duty by the Filipino people or dis- charged all of its obligations to civili- zation, if it should yield at this time to your aspiration for national in- dependence. “The government of the United States has full confidence in the -“litv. ~.<** “entiorig and fairness and sincerity of the present governof general. It is convinced that he has intended to act and has acted within the scope of his proper and constitu- tional authority Thus convineed, it is determined to sustain \him and its purpose will be to encourage the broadest and most intelligent co-op- eration of the Filipino people in this policy. Don't Appreciate Word. “Looking at the whole situation fairly and impartially one cannot but feel that if the Filipino pecple can- not co-operate in the support and en- couragement of as good an adminis- tration as has been afforded under Governor General Wood, their fail- ure will be rather a testimony of un- preparedness for the full obligation of citizenship, than an evidence of pa- triotic eagerness to advance their country. “IT am convinced that Governor- General Wood has at no time been other than a hard working, painstak- ing and conscientious administrator. I have found no evidence that he had exceeded his proper authority or that he has acted with any other than the purpose of best serving the real interests of the Filipino people. He is Hopeful. “If the time comes when it is ap- ent that independence would be Petter for the people of the Philip- pines, from the point of view of both their domestic concern and their sta- tus in the world; and if when that time comes the Filipino people desire complete independence, itis not pos- sible to doubt that the American gov- ernment and people will gladly ac- cord it.” The president’s letter, which was a long document, was in reply to reso- lutions adopted by the Senate and House of the Philippines demanding independence and protesting against the administration of Governor-Gen- eral Wood.

THE DAILY WORKER Se cay of the working class, has celebrated his re-election by issu- ing an injunction against the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union which prohibits the strikers from main- taining picket lines, manned collectively or by individuals; speak to strikebreakers at work or talk to any member of the strikebreakers’ family or to use any means whatever to induce strikebreakers to quit their jobs. The injunction was issued on the mere request of the attorneys for the Dress Manufacturers’ Association. attorneys were not allowed to open their mouths in oppo- sition. When they attempted to remonstrate Judge Sullivan with an air of injured indignation, waved them away and ordered the injunction issued. Judge Denis E. Sullivan is the most notorious injunc- tion manufacturer in Chicago. Injunctions Cannot Run wing Machines NJUNCTION KING” Denis E. Sullivan, judge by the grace of the open shoppers of Chicago, and the apathy + the way; call upon Union He was notorious before the last judicial election. He is maintaining his record. Know- ing his value to the employers the Chamber of Commerce, ably assisted by every capitalist daily paper in Chicago, the yellow Hearst sheets included, called on the voters to return him at the head of the list, Judge Sullivan’s re- election was due to the lack of militancy in the campaign | carried on against him by the laBor movement of Chicago. The DAILY ‘WORKER regrets that the lack of vision of the officials of organized labor is responsible for the presence on the bench of Injunction Denis E. Sullivan. Had the labor movement instead “enemies” and the rewarding of “friends” on the capitalist party tickets placed a labor ticket in the field and called on the entire wroking class of this city to rally behind it there would be no injunctions now to dog the heels of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, with the thuggery of Attorney Crowe’, of a court’s decree. The DAILY WORKER calls this significant fact to the attention of the workers of Chicago at a moment when the lesson appears in its most striking form. But while sound- ing this warning it tells Judge Denis E. Sullivan that injunc- tions and the clubs of policemen cannot run sewing ma- chines or manufacture dresses. All the injunctions ever issued by courts run for the benefit of the master class by a hem on a single garment. and the DAILY WORKER feels that there is enough red blood, in the veins of the labor movement of this city to teach judges and their masters, the capitalists, that these methods will not deter the workers from carrying on their fight for the very reasonable demands they have made on the clothing manufacturers. “Injunction” Denis E.

Bluecoats Save Thugs. “Law and Order” revealed itself in all its hypocrisy and brutality yesterday afternoon in the slugging and arrest of Rose Trimtz, Freida Ashkamezy and Louise Huhm on W. Adams street. The girls were on the picket line in front of the Francine Frock com- pany’s plant when four company gangsters rushed out at them with drawn straps flying. Mercilessly as- sailing the girls with their straps they shouted curses and threats. Severn big policemen stood by complacently while the unprovoked assault was going on and made no effort to interfere until—a_ girl wrested the strap away from her assailant and began thrashing him to the accompaniment of his screams. A Then the law in all its majesty rolled into action. The police march- ed to the aid of the sluggers and arrested the girl—not the sluggers. They were taken to the’ S. Clark street station. Labor Probers Will Begin Dissection of Bosses’ Crowe Today The special committee of 15 which John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, has appointed to investigate the strike breaking activities of State’s Attor- ney Robert E. Crowe in the present garment strike will meet in the Fed- eration Building this afternoon at. 2 o'clock to lay out plans for the in- vestigation. Fitzpatrick would not make public the names of the men he had just appointed until the meeting but the DAILY WORKER learned that An- ton Johannsen, of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters; Oscar Nelson, of the Postal Clerk, and Frank Buchanaf, of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, will sit on the confmittee. Crowe’s record is an open sore on the Chicago body politic and his re- election pamphlet boasts of the con- viction of 42 unionists, The commit- tee is expected to probe the reasons for his partisanship for the Weiss company during the present strike and for the Wholesale arrests of girl pickets over the heads of the police.

A new batch of telegrams sent and receiyed by the principal figures in the naval oil scandal were examined by the inquiring committee today be- hind closed doors. The messages were submitted by the local Western Union office. They were examined by the committee in executive session to determine which were pertinent to the present investi- gation. Those which are found relevant will be made public later. Senator Ladd, North Dakota, Re- publican, presided over the session in the absence of Chairman Lenroot, who left last night for a week’s vaca- tion at Southern Pines, N. C. Thomas P. Dowd, superintendent of the Washington Postal office, gave the committee about thirty additional telegrams. They were submitted in answer to a ad ne which called for messages to or from any of the principals in the investigation includ- ing Former Secretary of Interior Fall, Harry TY. Sinclair, E. L. Doheny, E. B, McLean or any of his many agents or J. W. Zevely. Get Messages from Palm Beach. In addition to the Postal and Western Union messages handled thru the Washington office, Dowd and H. F. Taff, manager of the local Western Union office submitted sealed envelopes containing records of messages handled by their Palm Beach offices. Taff and Dowd estimated that there were about 300 telegrams in all. It was considered probable it would take the committee several hours to sort the messages and de- cide which relate to the inquiry. The messages cover a period from Dec, 1 to Feb. 29, during which time McLean, his agents and Fall, Walsh and C, Bascom Slemp, secretarv to President Coolidge, were in Palm Probe “Betting Commissioner” Story Senator Heflin’s story that Harry including Aftor- Daugherty, is a phase lush fund” inquiry, oil com- arose today ‘when wit-| mittee members revealed nesses summoned by Young ‘denied the usual witness fees. ‘The |erty went to a race tratk and district attorney informed them that|on the horses, Daugherty losing hi Young had no oct to summon wit- | bet.

When the horse lost, another pool was raised and the bet placed thru Sinclair, according to the circumstantial story told the committee. This time the “tip” proved correct, or at any rate, the officials got back enough money to recoup former losses and show them a handsome profit. Another angle of the story is that some of .the same officials went into a pool on Sinclair oil stock and that they lost all their money. Then, according to the unverified story, they were permitted to “borrow” from a fund created for the purpose and later all but one man returned these borrowings. This one man, the committee was told, got $200,000 from the fund and has not yet re- turned it. The committee has never been able to establish either the ex- istence of the slush fund or its source, or to find out who formed the supposed pool. Unmask New Intrigues. The new telegrams will help the committee, it is said, to complete the story of the intrigue to keep McLean from going before the in- vestigating committee. Some new names are involved. One of the telegrams explained to the committee a message from J. F. Fitzgerald to McLean, which was previously made public. Fitzgerala who fering od was connected with McLean’s Washington paper, wired McLean to “read every other word in previous message.” sage was found in the batch submitted today which—if every other word was dropped—would in- form McLean that Senator Thomas J, Walsh, chief prosecutor, was in possession of two varying stories as to why McLean could not testify. The name “Slemp” is mentioned several times in the new telegrams, it was learned, — One of the telegrams was desig- nated a member of the commit- tee as being a “mystery message.” It states that several men had been asking about a man from a certain state in such a way that it might indicate a United States senator.

(Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, March 5.—Every little while the real issues in Amer- ican political life smash thru the veils of speech, in congress or in print, and we get a breath of honest fresh air in the house-of-make-be- lieve, So it was when “Baltimore '& Ohio” Bruce, the new corporation senator elected on the democratic ticket from Maryland by the aid of the entire Harding-Coolidge admin- |istration, arose to denounce the “propriety” of Senator Wheeler, ac- cuser of Attorney General Daugh- erty, going on the special committee which is to investigate Daugherty’s violations of his trust, “Everybody knows,” said Bruce, “that he (Wheeler) is closely affilia- ted politically avith elements in our population which have peculiar rea. sons of their own for subjecting Mr. Daugherty, to investigation.” Those Naughty Workers, When Senator Walsh insisted that Bruce explain this remark, the rail- road senator said that “of course I meant the labor element.” This was frank enough. Wheeler has always been identified with or- ganized labor’s struggle in Montana, and Pruce knew that Wheeler kn of Daugherty’s warfare upon the railroad shop strfkers in 1922. He knew of Daugherty’s insolent lie: “We have a carload of evidence against them, that is being sent out to Chicago under armed guard”— referring to the striking shopmen against whom he secured the most lawless and oppressive injunction in the history of the American labor movement. Yes, Bruce knew that labor had “peculiar reasons of their own” for wanting an investigation of the ‘sin- ister influence of railroad corpora. tions in the present regime of the department of justice. Bruce stands guard for the railroad corporations in the senate, as he did while an official of Maryland, so many years that the title “B. & 0.” became at. tached to him. Lauds Big Business. Wheeler’s reply was to ask Bruce about his railroad connections. Bruce denied that he ever had received a cent from a railroad, but boasted his affection for them, and especially the Pennsylvania and the B. & O. “From one end of our state to the other,” he almost chanted, “we are at peace with our large business interests. The moré rich men that are sent to us from the west, pro. viding they are not the Doheny o1 Sinclair order, the better pleased we shall be.” He predicted that in time the people of the west would be bet- ter friends with big business, “but they will never do it by shifting the railroads of the country from the basis of individual to the basis of government ownership.” Here again was confession: Bruce saw in an investigation of the crook- ed attorney general only one solid fact—a chance that private owner. ship of railroads would-be exposed as another corrupt conspir: along with the oil conspiracy and the job. getting graft.
