LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 4.—The Tea- pot Dome controversy again has Steamed into view, with the* govern- ment to-day ‘holding the latest victory in a long careef of court procedure. Declaring “the entire transaction is tainted with favoritism, collusion and corruption, defeating the proper and lawful functions of the government,” the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals here late yesterday ordered can- celed the lease on naval oil reserve lands in Wyoming, held. by the Mam- mouth Ojl company. The decision was based on the grounds that the lease was fraudulently obtained Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate, from Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the in- terior, The decision, which reversed and re- manded a decision of Judge T. Blake Kennedy in the District court at Chey- enne, Wyo., in June, 1925, further in- structs the lower court to enjoin the Mammoth company from trespassing on government lands and to ask the company for an accounting of all oil and petroleum products taken from the reserve during the tenure of the lease, ’ The opinion, received here from Pre- siding Judge William S. Kenyon of Fort Dodge, Iowa, says that “a trail of deceit, falsehood, subterfuge, bad faith and corruption, at times indis- tinct, but nevertheless discernible, runs through the transactions incident to and surrounding the making of this lease,” the opinion of the federal Ap peals court takes up in detail the steps leading to the setting aside of the Wyoming land for naval oil reserve and the transactions connected with its leasing by Fall to Sinclair. “It has been the theory of the gov- ernment that Former Secretary, Fall received from Harry F, Sinclair, or- ganizer and owner of the Mammoth company, a pecuniary consideration whict influenced him to grant the company a lease for Teapot Dome.” “That Secretary Fall, as to this mat- ter, dominated Secretary Denby, Ad- miral Robison and other government officials jand practically controlled the action of the navy department as to the leasing of Teapot Dome is a con- clusion difficult to escape under this record.” ‘ The latter part of the document is devoted to a consideration of th transfer of $25,000 in Liberty bonds from Sinclair to Fall soon after Fall had retired from office in May, 1923, and contains the statement that the transaction “reveals an intimate rela- tionship between Secretary Fall and Sinclair.” Former Jersey Trooper Claims He Got Money to Drop Murder Quiz SOMERVILLE, N. J., Oct. 4.—Sen- sational revelations appeared immi- nent in the Hall-Mills case today as the result of statements made by Henry L Dickman, former New Jer- sey state trooper and one of the in- vestigators of the murder mystery, in 1923, “Signed Affidavit. Dickman, according to special prosecutor, Alexander Simpson, has signed an affidavit for the state in which he admits he was paid a large amount of money and told to leave New Jersey. 4 Dickman brought several new names into the case, some of them involved in the alleged bribe, Simpson re- vealed, and named two others as eye- witnesses of the murder of the Rev. Edward Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, Feared Going Crazy. Dickman is reported to have said he feared becoming insane if he did |not “come across” and afd the prose- cution, Immunity. from prosecution has been promised Dickman by Senator Simpson.

First that the Soviet Union have polit- ical police (something that was never known before). Second that there is very little individual freedom for cap- italist-exploiters like himself and fin- ally—holy horrors!—a new generation is growing up in Russia which is thoroughly Bolshevized, This last fact was mainly responsi- ble for the terrorized condition of Mr. Rosenwald, The fact that a new type of humanity, which is consciously ushering in a better system in so- ciety, is growing up in the Soviet Union thoroughly scared this youth exploiter, or in his own words—‘if Bolshevism remains firm another few years this generation will come into power and nothing will shake the dic- tatorship.” By LELAND OLDS, Federated Press. How soon will the excess capital produced in America today swamp the worker? Labor might ask the capi- talists who are boasting about the enormous increase in the productivity of industry. On the answer hangs the future of employment. U. S. department of commerce fig- ures show factory production in 1926 about 75 per cent above 1914. But the number of factory workers in the same period increased only 13.5 per cent. This means that in 1925 the av- erage factory worker produced 54 per. cent more in-quantity than the aver- age factory worker produced in 1914. Average Productivity Up 49 Per Cent. The greater part this extraordin- ary increase in productivity is due to labor-saving machinery and speeding- up methods since the war. 1926 fac- tory production exceeded 1919 by, 25 per cent*® But the number of wage earners responsible for 1925 produc- tion was 16 per cent below 1919. Here is an increase of 49 per cent in the productivity of the average worker. ‘“The great saving in the amount of human energy necessary to turn out a given quantity of manufacturing production which has made itself felt particularly during the last few years” says the National Industrial Confer- ence board, leading employer statis- tical y, “bids fair to be the most signifi opment of the 20th century. So pro- nounced has been the change in the quantitative relationship between la- bor and production that it heralds far- reaching betterment not only in our economic affairs, but affords a foun- dation for wide social and cultural ad- vance as well.” .: This assumes that there has been a parallel increase in the purchasing power of wages to absorb the in- creased supply of goods. TBut an an- alysis of the same phenomena by Edi- tor Benjamin Baker of The Annalist suggests that this increasing produc- tivity is intensifying ‘overdevelop- ment in industry. He says: Efficiency Lowers Cost, “The new situation itto which busi- ness has apparently progressed is the product of abundance of capital and of a new and almost phenomenal effi- Leave your lunch at home.

Its efficiency level, ; in rising decidedly since that timo, has’ for practical purposes -increased | the proportions of our over-equip- ment; and it is enabled to continue forthe present by the superabun-' dance of capital.” This is the general mechanism by which manufacturing competition has now been sharpened to an unprecedented pitch of severity. The etition must go on, for fail- ure to compete will mean a rapid de struction of capital; necessarily fail- ure to succeed in the competition willalso mean loss of capital, and loss ‘of this character is certain to oceur on a pretty considerable scale because, our production is obviously greater than our power to absorb it, ‘ Reduced The Limit. “It seems probable that in many Sunday, October 10 UNITED WORKERS’ PRESS PICNIC ROSE HILL PARK, LOS ANGELES, CAL.
