IEPUBLICANS ARE UNMOVED BEFORE OIL DISCLOSURES Democrat Merely Sug- gests Prosécution (Continued from Page One) Biltmore Hotel, in New York, and} asked him to take over $25,000 of the bonds. in exchange for a cash con- tribution of that amount. Butler said he declined to take the package of bonds which Hays laid on the table. Hays, who was called to the stand as soon as Butler stepped down, ad- mitted that the testimony of both was correct. Old Guard Unmoved. Sen. Borah, by publicly demanding of National Chairman Butler that Butler make an effort +o repay to Sinclair the $160,000 which Sinclair gave to pay off the republican cam- paign debt, has not created a panic in Old Guard circles. Butler is not expected to raise the money from other sources, as urged by Borah, “to repudiate the transaction and return the fruits thereof.” Hard-boiled re- publican politicians feel that the full support of the administration has been enjoyed by Sinclair since 1921, and they see no reason why the price paid for this should be returned to him. The fact that he lost Teapot Dome, which was the original con- sideration in the deal, is not a fault of the administration. They think Sinclair should congratulate himself that he is still out of- prison, and should trust the party organization to do what it can for him in the future. Prosecution Merely Suggested, Sen. Robinson of Arkansas, re- actionary democratic presidential candidate, seized upon the Borah sug- gestion, and the Mellon admission of knowledge of the bond deal to declare that the republicans could not reform themselves by merely paying back the money. He suggested that Will Hays, who has twice testified and twice concealed the facts of the bond deal from the senate committee, might be prosecuted for perjury. . Sen. Norris demands that Mellon resign from the cabinet because of his I¢ng concealment of knowledge of érooked bond deal involving “the ublican national committee, Harry Sinclair and the naval oil- leases, Other members of,the original Hard- ing cabinet in this affair have been Albert Fall, secretary of the interior; Edwin Denby, secretary of the navy, Will Hays, postmaster general, and Harry Daugherty, at- torney general. John W. Weeks, who was secretary of War, is shown to have known about the bond deal. He is now dead. Klan Got $100,000. With Hays on:the stand, Senator Walsh (D) of Montana, sprung a surprise by saying: “It appears to us from. reliable sources that Mr. Clark got $100,000 from the republicans. Is that cor- rect?” “T ‘don’t place him,” said Hays. “Who is he?” “Edward Y. Clarke. At tha head of the Ku Klux Klan, Walsh. > “T never heard of the klan at that time (1920)” said Hays. “Where did you get your information?” “Perhaps we will put that in the record’ later on,” returned Walsh. Mellon Nervous. Mellon spoke with a trace of ner- vousness. He faltered over’ pronun- ciation. “How did Hays get these bonds?” Sen. Walsh asked. time said Monument 3519.

Organization Vital. Amalgamated officials who have completely betrayed the workers are pretending to use the influéhice of “public opinion.” The workers have jeompletely repudiated these officials. They have not, however, given up the idea of organization. It is widely un- ‘derstood that only organization can protect the men against the campaign | of wage reductions and speed up {which the company will institute if jit sueceeds in rooting out all organ- \ization sentiment. The men will hold | together their rank and file commit- tees. They will increase the senti- ment for unionism. They will con- tinue the- preparations for a real rank jand file organization which must - come in the near future. Meeting ‘Tomorrow.
