Foregoing the course followed by the case of Harry F. Sinclair, who was indicted by a grand jury for his re- fusal to answer questions of the oil committee, the Brookhart committee intends to bring them directly before the Senate to answer for their al- leged contempt, Mal Daugherty for his refusal to produce the books of his bank and Mannington for refusing to appear in answer to a subpoena, May Resort to Habeas Corpus. If adjudged guilty by the Senate, they may be committed to a “common jail” until they consent to testify. They may resort to habeas. corpus proceedings, however, and appeal to the Supreme Court. Their only es- cape would be to claim immunity on the ground that their testimony might incriminate them. Page Mannington In Vain. Howard Mannington, once resident of the “little green house on K street,” was “paged” in vain today by the Senate committee investigating former Attorney General Daugherty when the hearings were resumed. Mannington, yesterday thru his at- torney, challenged the constitutional authority of the committee to con- tinue its investigation and flatly re- fused to respond to the subpoena is- sued for him. “Before we proceed,” said Chairman Brookhart, “I want to inquire if Howard Mannington is present—the same Howard Mannington who wanted to testify when he was in Paris?” Brookhart Notes Absence. After a pause Brookhart said that Mannington’s absence would be noted. Wheeler asked ex-Senator Chamber- lain, counsel for Daughetry, “what has become of the promise of Paul How- land to produce Mannington?” “We said that he would be here at the proper time, but did not promise ‘ to produce him,” said Chamberlain. Brookhart remarked that Maning- ton was standing in the back of the room yesterday when his counsel said he was not present. Indicted in New York. -w.. Wheeler asked\ Chamberlain to as- certain from the Départment of Jus- tice if Mannington had been indicted in New York in a liquor case before he went to Europe and what disposi- tion, if any, has been made of the case. “We also want to know if any at- tempt has been made to take him into custody,” said Senator Moses, New Hampshire. George W. Stork, accountant of the Department of Justice, then took the stand to wind up his testimony re- garding his investigation of the sale of the Bosch Magneto Company to Martin F. Kern, a German citizen, by the alien property custodian during the administration of A. Mitchell Palmer. Stokes Battle Again. Judge W. M. Cook of the criminal court today set April 23, for hearing the motion to quash the indictments against W. BE. D. Stokes, New York millionaire, and five others, charged with conspiring to defame the char- acter of the millionaire’s wife.

WASHINGTON, April 16.—Discussion of reports from every quarter of the country, showing that great masses of the voters are ready to support an independent and responsibly progressive political movement in this year’s presidential campaign, was the chief business accomplished by the national committee of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, just con- cluded here. No declaration of program was drafted, nor was the candidacy of LaFollette definitely endorsed. Demo- cratic members of the gathering felt that McAdoo should not be eliminated from consideration until after the democratic national convention had named its man and adopted its plat- form. Another meeting on May 25 was ordered, in preparation for the convention to be held in Cleveland on July 4. There were present William H. Johnston of the Machinists, chair- man; James P, Noonan of the Elec- trical Workers, Morris Hillquit of the Socialist Party, V. C. Vladeck of the Jewish Daily Forward Associa- tion, Jolin M. Baer, Edward Keating, Basil M. Manly, Judge Edward Jeffers of Michigan, President R. T. Wood of | the Missouri Federation of Labor, Benjamin C. Marsh, Oscar Ameringer, T. N. Pierson as alternate for Manion of the Railway Telegraphers, R. A. Haste for D. C. Dorman of Montana, Arthur Lovell for Robertson of the Locomotive Firemen, and Finson for Fijosdal of the Maintenance of Way Employes, together with the editors of most of the journals of the rail- way labor unions. Significant of the drift of opinion was the presence of a delegation from the Woman’s Committee for Political Action, which was invited to select a representative as a mem- be? of the national committee. This Woman's Committee announces its program as follows: 1. Public control and conservation of natural resources, secured by tax- ation of all land values. 2. Public ownership with democra- tic control of all means of communi- cation and transportation. 3. Public control of the nation’s money and credit. 4, Abolition of all political patron- age. 5. Governmental revenue to be raised not by tariffs but (a) taxes on large incomes and inheritances; (b) taxes on land values; (c) profits! on government banking; (d) savings from reduction of armament. 6. Restoration of civil rights and guarantee to all citizens of full eco- nomic, legal and political rights, in- cluding (a) right of childhood to na- tural development; (b) right of workers to organize; (c) right of minorities to proportional represen- tation. 7. Legislation to prevent courts from nullifying acts of legislatures, and to correct other judicial abuses. 8. Progressive reduction of arma- ment by international agreement, judicial settlement of disputes, and a democratically controlled world or- ganization. * Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Zona Gale, Julia Marlowe Sothern, Harriet Stanton Blatch, Elizabeth Gilman, Mrs. Basil Manly, Mrs. Fremont Ol- der, Jessie Hughan and Mrs. Charles Edward Russell are among the women connected with this commit- tee, of which Mrs. Sally H. Burch is chairman and Miss Isabelle Kendig is secretary. Mrs. Victor L. Berger, Miss Kendig and Mrs. D. J. Meserole constituted the delegation which of- fered co-operation to the C. P. P. A.

Don’t forget that he is a great writer, that Leon Trotzky considered him the greatest of the young writers of Soviet Russia. The DAILY WORKER has publish- ed a long article about him, by the eminent French critic, Victor Serge. So that he Is not a second-rater. But he is very different from Libe- dinsky, and we should like you to tell us your reaction to these two writers, which one appeals more to you and why, or does Pliniak appeal to you at all? For one thing, the book “A Week” gains a great deal over the work of Piiniak be- cause Libedinsky has a much gr er understanding of the proletarian revolution than Pliniak. Pliniak feels the force of the Russian revo- lution, but It does not resolve it- self into simple terms In his mind. The revolution is rather a mystery to him, but he is swept by the tre- mendous energy of it and he gives forth the impact of it in his work. To Libedinsky, the revolution is cgystal clear and he speaks of it in such simple terms that every- one can see It. To Pilniak the revolution is bewildering, chaotic, a whirl of strange forces clashing in a vast turmoll which he cannot always understand, but which he can always feel. Libedinsky under- stands the essence of the revolu- tion, but he misses its overtones. Pilniak gives the overtones, Pil- niak is more of the artist than Li- bedinsky, he Is a greater fashioner —— ———— REPORT SHOWS U.S. INDUSTRY IN UNHEALTHY STATE Coal Mining Hits New Low Level. By LELAND OLDS Federated Press Industrial Editor. Unemployment still prevails in many parts of the country, according to the March industrial survey of the United States department of labor. The report which generally leans toward optimism shows that the employment situation is spotty with industrial activity far from heal- thy. Reports showing considerable un- employment came particularly from New England and the southern states while in middle Atlantic and middle western states the activity of the iron and steel industry tended to absorb the surplus labor. | In New England two major indus- jtries, shoes and textiles, were still operating far below normal. Surplus workers were unable to secure work lin other lines. The only state in this |section reporting good employment was Connecticut in which the open shop metal trades predominate. New York, New Jersey and Penn- sylvania reported fairly good employ- ment due to iron and steel. Increased activity in building and road build- ing was also reported. Middle western states reported em- ployment improvement during March, Indiana, however, noted a consider- able surplus of common labor. Min- nesota expected outdoor work to ab- sorb unemployed skilled workers jduring the next 30 days. Kansas re- |ported part-time in railroad shops. oil fields, machine shops and cement brick plants. Both North and South Dakota indicated a considerable sur- plus of labor. Unemployment, particularly in the coal fields, was noted in West Vir- ginia and across the line in Ken- tucky. Tennessee hoped the tremen- dous building program in prospect would relieve unemployment. In Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia employment is fairly good with some curtailment in the textile industry. Arkansas reported a surplus of un- skilled labor with reduced operations in the lumber mills. Oklahoma re- ported a large surplus of labor in practically all lines. Pacific coast states indicated consi- derable unemployment with the pros- pect that production might improve. Hurrah For The Daily Worker. To the DAILY WORKER:—Let me congratulate you on your good work. I am a subscriber to the DAILY and am always on the watch for some ex- posure or other.

But of course, he sacrifices the sim- licity of Libedinsky, and simplicity always has a universal al, not simplicity carried to the banality, but the erystal clear sim- plicity of the great masters of all times. However, we should like the read- ers of our paper to judge for them- selves. We will shortly begin the publication of the story “At the Doors” by Boris Pliniak, in a splen- did translation from the Russian. The translation is by Louis Lozo- wick, artist and literary critle, about whom we have already writ: \ ten and who is giving his full co- operation to the DAILY WORKER, supplying us with invaluable ma- terial. Watch for the first installment of this story in Saturday’s maga- zine section of the DAILY WORK- ER. It Is much shorter than “A Week”, in fact it Is a short story, whe “A Week” is a novel. When you have read “At the Doors” by Boris Pilnlak, write to the DAILY WORKER and tell us what you think of it, "We want to know how working people react to this sort of writing, Is It true that the younger writers make no appeal to workers?

With a great deal of skill Secretary of State Hughes, the third keynoter thus far tried out, announced last night in his speech to New York Re- publicans that the keynote is—Calvin Coolidge, Weeks ago it was predicted that the campaign would be centered around Mr. Coolidge. Senator Pep- per made an offer in his recent key- note effort to say what Hughes said last night, but Hughes put it much stronger. Hughes carefully built up a case for |the administration, He laid particu- lar emphasis on the works of the ad- ministration in its eexcutive depart- ments. The studious avoidance of any reference to the record of Con- gress—except the observation that if it had not been for obstructionists the tax reduction program would have gone thru ere this—was one of the cleverest features of Hughes’ “key- note,” It is Coolidge upon whom the coun- try must depend, he said in effect, for carrying out the program which Harding began. It is the character of Coolidge which is offered to the na- tion as an earnest of leadership and of constructive achevement. Ducks Teapot Scandal. Hughes’. treatment of the current scandals also skillfully emphasized this Coolidge note. The President, Hughes solemnly said, is prosecuting without favor or fear, and is deter- mined on purity of government. The keynoter summed it all up in one of his closing paragraphs when he said Mr. Coolidge is his own plat- form; that no other is needed.

Will Fight Arbitration. Owing to the incessant hammering of the militants in the union against arbitration that bedraggled instru- ment of the employers is in pro- nounced disfavor at present and the rank and file are in favor of going out on the streets rather than submit to an arbitration clause, The rank and file are convinced that there is no such thing as fair arbitration, that no man can be found who is neutral as between capital and labor, and that invariably the arbi- trator favors the employer. In other words they are beginning to become class conscious, to realize that the in- terests of capital and labor are not identical in spite of the heavy residue of reactionary officialdom that weighs upon the typographical union today. They are determined that the job scale negotiations do not end in the same disastrous manner as the news- paper scale and will teach the em- ployers that in spite of the fact that they lost “a skirmish thru the treachery of tMeir officials, they will not lose the war against the greed of the owners of job printing establish- ments.

The transformation is also their trick. In either case no one is fooled, the difference being that one performance produces laughter, the other misery. Gunmen Are Legalized. The operators show works this way: He no longer has an argument against the union; he can’t keep his slaves contented with words, so he uses force, A law permits him to employ watchmen to watch his property. There is in America a peculiar breed of brute known as gunman and from this anti-social crop the operators re- cruit their watchmen. An obliging sheriff deputizes and turns them loose with a club and a gun to terrorize the workers who may be thinking of a union. They are now deputy sheriffs of the state but the coal operators pay their wages. In Logan county alone there are 460 of such watchmen. Operators Pay Deputies Wages. The notorious Don Chaffin, who is still sheriff there, recently testified in court at an armed-march trial, that there was a fund in the bank on which he drew to pay these deputies. He swore he “did not know who put the money in the bank.” The opera- tors, however, admitted they pay the money and said on the stand that in 1921 in that county it had cost them $65,000. There is an assessment Placed by the operators’ association against every ton of coal mined to pay for this. These mine guards have murdered hundreds of union miners and none of them have ever been molested by the law. That’s what the armed uprising was about in‘ 1921. Traitor Freed. Other departménts of the law are equally magical in the operators’ hands. After Rev. Joe E. Wilburn and his son, John, who were convict- ed in connection with the armed march, turned state’s evidence, they employs his magic art to fool his audience. bother to explain how his pigeons are turned into rabbits—it’s his trick.

Not only for the Wilburns, but for all criminals whom old man Wilburn could get to join his con- spiracy of betrayal. Bert Seachrist, who was serving a five-year sentence for shooting both eyes out of a man with a shotgun, joined Wilburn and walked out of jail, as did Julius Whitlock, an arson con- yict. These persons together with the ‘Wilburns testified against Frank Kee- ney, miner’s district president. Witnesses In Chains. At the same trial the miners had called men from prison to testify in their behalf. While“ the operators’ prisoner-witnesses were put up at the best hotel and given absolute liberty |those on the miners’ side of the fence were locked in jail and fetched back and forth to court in chains. Again the black magic in operation. The Wilburns were out long before the Keeney trial. The miners’ coun- sel introduced in court a hotel bill of $148 for Wilburn, paid by J. A. Scott to the Holley hotel at Charleston long before the trial and when Wilburn was supposed in jail. Scott “works up evidence” for the operators, to the tune of $6000 per year and expenses— so he testified in court. Old man Wil- burn is holding revival meetings now in Boone county. All of the freed con- victs have been deputized by Don Chaffin. State Foots Bills. All of this is rather costly to the operators, it will be supposed, but at the last meeting of the West Virginia legislature the operators were reim- bursed out of the state treasury. . “But what about the thousands of dollars you have spent defending the workers’ side of the house? Is the state going to pay that back to you?” I asked Fred Mooney, district secre- tary of the Mine Workers, who was telling me the story.

H. Crim, former assistant attorney general, “in earnest” in the prosecu- tion of war fraud cases, Storck re- plied emphatically “he certainly was.” “But he was blocked,” he continued. “Every time Crim would get a case worked up, the case would be taken out of his hands.” ‘Too Raw Even for Wilson. Storck then testified that the pro- perty. of a German tobacco compnay in the Philippines was sold by the all- en property custodian, with Francis Burton Harrison, former Governor Ge- neral of the islands acting as agent, to a group at such a “raw price” that president Wilson ordered the sale set aside.

There is only one thing you must remember, You are all workers, The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer.” The speaker @vinted out how the bosses, when they are forced to yield higher wages, make it up by charging the workers more for the goods they sell. “There is only one thing to do and that is take the example of Soviet Russia and change the system entire- ly.

Storck said that Fred Berry, confi- dential secretary to former Governor General Harrison went to a German internment camp in 1918 and told the prisoners they could be released if they would agree to sell their pro- perty.

Washington Thursday, April 17, 1924 HIGHER LEARNING GETTING A SHOCK AT DALLAS, TEX: Woman Dean Appalled At Spooning Story DALLAS, Texas, April 16—Co-edu- cation was on the defensive at South- ern Methodist University today. Girl students sought revenge for at- tacks upon them in the “Dinkey,” an outlaw fraternity magazine, as federal and university officials investigated a “Wilderness” party staged by the ed- itors in celebration of issuance of the publication. Commenting on an editorial which said the co-eds were “painted sepul- chers of abomination,” Margaret Tilly, leading co-ed, said: “It's an insult—and every bit un- trué. Bad, Booze-Drinking Boys. “The ‘Dinkey’ was published by a gang of booze-drinking , reprobates who don’t rate a look from a decent co-ed. “When they threw their party out at Savage Lake they picked their dates off the streets because they knew that university women wouldn’t go with them. “We have positive evidence that not a single co-ed attended the affair.” “It’s disgraceful—the boys should be prosecuted!” Mrs, S. J. Hay, dean of women, declared of the “Dinkey.” “It was gross libel. There is no punishment severe enough for the boys who published that nasty sheet— they should be prosecuted.” “The Most Awful Thing.” ‘Some of the girls may be thought- less—and risk their dignities by at- tending parties unchaperonéd—but they are all good Christian girls. The ‘Dinkey’ was the most awful thing I ever read. I had trouble reading it, it was so shocking. So many of. our best girls were brazenly insulted,” Mrs. Hay stated.‘ Mrs. Hay denied there was any pro- miscuous “boodling” (synonym for spooning) at S. M. U.
