POR sstOR \ TAKES SLAP AT. PRES, COOLIDGE Another ‘Teapot Dome’ Scandal Looms WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8—The United States shipping board, long in conflict with the Coolidge administra- tion took a direct slap at the presi- dent yesterday by removing Admiral Leigh Palmer as president of the Emergency Fleet corporation. Palmer was personally selected by Coolidge for the office from which he is now relieved. Elmer BD, Crowley, of Boston, until yesterday operating manager of the American Export Line, under direction of the fleet corporation, was selected at the same sessidh to take the place of Palmer. Climax of Long Squabbie. This action of the shipping board was the climax of a long and at times bitter struggle against the efforts of the Coolidge administration to cen- tralize the powers of government. The board, under the chairmanship of the ex-labor faker O'Connor, has taken the position that it is an independent ageney created by congress and is solely responsible for the conduct of the government’s shipping business. Coolidge has steadfastly refused’ to accept the board’s estimate of’ its powers and has contended that his man, Palmer, as the agent of the executive of the government had full administrative powers, , This attitude of Coolidge caused the shipping boad to openly oppose the president. A crisis was reached on last Thursday when a majority of the members of the board made public their desire for the removal of Palmer. Coolidge, in an effort to overcome the crisis, appointed H. G. Dalton, Of Cleveland, Ohio., to investigate the situation and report to him. A con- ference was held between the presi- dent and Admiral Palmer, Admiral Benson, a prominent member of the board and Chairman O’Connor, at which time Mr. Dalton was introduced to them. Instead of battling the op- Position of the majority of the board the action of Coolidge was resented as a piece of impudence, and his Cleve- land appointee completely ignored. Congress May Act. It is an open secret that the ad, ministration regards ethe shipping board as overstepping the powers de- signated to it and that the Coolidge supporters in the next congress ‘will raise the question in both houses for. a decisive showdown, ‘ The administration has endeavored to carry out certain ideas attributed to President Coolidge with respect to the management of the merchant fleet, which represents government property worth $35,000,000, with many ramifications in all parts of the world, and if properly co-ordinated under the direction of men who will obey the will of the republican machine will furnish many soft political jobs for the faithful. Following the removal of Admiral Palmer as president of the fleet cor- poration, the “resignation” of the vice-president, Sidney Henry, “in charge of the corporation’s finances, was accepted, and members of the board do not conceal the fact that the conduct of this department has all the | potentialities. of a miniature “Teapot Dome.” The president with Mrs. Coolidge is rushing back to Washington on a special train while administration forces in the capital are desperately trying to avert a storm.

(Worker Correspondent.) KANSAS OITY, Mo., Oct. 8. — A mass meeting held at the Grand Ave- nue Temple composed of a few civil- jans and a large group of boy scouts, who had an assortment of merit badg- es, heard Brig.Gen, J) Ross Delafield and H.\F. Atwood of Chicago, tell the ‘youth to prepare for the next war and defend their constitution. The chairman explained the pur- pose ofthe meeting and said that it was called by the reserve officers’ association. He then introduced Brig.- Gen. Delafield, who told the boys to prepare for war, to be ready to fight the minute war breaks out. Altho he told ‘the ‘future slaughterers of their fellow’ ‘workers to prepare for war, he did'nét say who they would fight, or why they would fight, just to be ready to do the bidding of those in power. In praising the boy scouts, the colonel said: “With the boy scouts you will get the things that will ‘make you good soldiers.” ‘The ‘mass meeting had such a poor attendance that Mr. Atwood was go- ‘ing ‘to call off his speech, but finally changed his mind and gave a talk on the constitution. Mr. Atwood was a most capable propagandist for Ameri- can. imperialism. Rice tac THE -DAILY WORKER -SHPPING BOARD Traian WORKERS PROTEST AGAINST MERRICK IMPRISONMENT ‘DOUBLE: CROSSING COMP NY DOCTOR GIVEN: SETBACK Hospital Fee: ees Prevent Him Aiding Bosses (By Worker . Correspondent.) LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, Oct, 8.— The “company doctor” double-cross put on many an injured workers has chanced to get a little setback in the decision of the supreme court of Ar- kansas in the case of a worker who was injured on.the Missouri Pacific railroad. He paid the, hospital assessment with other employes to the iMssouri Pacific Hospital... Association. When he was injured, he agreed with the claim agent of.the company to go to St. Louis and pe examined as to the extent of his injury by the chief sur- geon of the , association’s hospital there, with a.view to agreeing on a} sum of money.in settlement. | Sues for Better Settlement. After the examination, however, the worker could not agree with the claim agent on the amount to be paid him, so he entered suit for damages against the company.' Then came the St. Louis doctor to the court and, over tthe protest of: the worker’s attorney, the judge allowed the doctor to testi- fy against the worker. The argument of the worker's at-| \ torney, now upheld ‘by the state su-| preme court, was that the doctor was | bound, under the law which shuts out | communicationg made by a patient | to his physician, from testifying against the patient—the point being that the doctor was the doctor employ- ed by the worker, and not by the rail- road company, it being held that the hospital fees collectee from all the workers and pald over by the com- pany to the hospital association, made the doctor the personal physician of the worker. “Company Doctor” Paid by Workers. The court held that it made no dif- ference about the agreement with the claim agent to be examined. The hos- pital was sugtained by contributions of the employes, and all physicians and surgeons-under pay by the asso- ciation were physicians and “surgeons of the employes, If, after his.examination, he wished to refuse the, terms of settlement of- fered by thesclaim agent, that was his right, even tho he had also intended to receive treatment by the surgeons, this did not constitute a waiver of his privilege to sue the company there- after. It was,an. error of the trial court to admit, ithe “eens of the “company doctor.” ;, Ton Ukraine Peasants’ La Budget KARKOFF, Oct. 8—In “the coming of the total purchasing power of all the peasants in the union.

SMITH, TOLEDO,-Ohio, Oct. 8.—While our activity for the requisite number of signatures to admit Workers (Com munist) Party candidates into the pri- mary or pre-election monstrosity met with success, the fact still remains that the city charter, thru constitu- tional trickery, unquestionably intend- ed to completely eliminate working class candidates from the real elec- tions in November. And by equally heroic activity, this was only partial- ly defeated. However, we came thru with one candidate for vice-mayor and council candidate for the twen- one tieth ward Our first opportunity for real action was thru an invitation to candidates to address the Stickney avenue home- comers’ celebration in connection with a carnival that was doing the people of that vicinity for one week. | The aspirants were all present. We have a tremendous bond issue running up to better than thirty-two million of dollars to be voted on at the November election. The news- paper reporters were there and re- ported me as saying I did not know much about big bond issues. I knew more about little gas bills, telephone bills, grocery bills, shoe bills, etc. Which was very degrading to one seeking such a high and important office. Some doctors are willing to take oath that they can immunize children against future contagious disease. And this big bond issue is a sort of im- munizing process of thieves against future prosecution for past theft. It is not really.a popular viewpoint with political embezzlers in any part of the world, however, it bids fair to be- come more popular as time unfolds, Russ Sugar Industry : Production Rapidly Passes Pre-war Scale MOSCOW, U.S8.S.R., Oct. 8.—The sugar industry in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is growing very rapidly. Here are some very inter- esting figures. The industry has de- veloped best in the decade 1891-1901. In the year 1890-1891 the production of sugar was 24,500,000 poods; in 1893-94, 35,700,000 poods; in 1900-1901, 59,500,000 poods, The production figures for the in- dustry in the last three years is as follows: 1923-24, 23,000,000 poods, 1924-25, 27,500,000 poods; 1925-26 57,500,000 poods.
