ITTERLY ATTACKS -~ DYE INTERESTS Alleged MonopoIX.'l:I,as At- | tempted to Influence Cabi- net Officers Is Charge. Representative Frear of Wisconsin, republican, wha led the fight against the proposed embargo on dyestuffs while the tariff bill was before the House, has written a letter to Chair- man Penrose of the Senate finance committee charging that the alleged dye monopoly of this country, headed by the Chemical Foundation, has at- tempted tdo influence three members of the President’s cabinet in an effort to retain its exclusive control of the dye situation in the United States. A similar communication has been addressed by Mr. Frear to President Harding. ‘The Wisconsin member referred specifically to the letters written to Senator Penrose by Secretaries Weeks and Denby. who yrged continuance of the embargo so that the country might be provided with chemicals in the event of war. Mr. Frear also de- clared that Attorney General Daugha erty had failed to acknowledge or act upon his letter of July 18, asking that legal proceedings be instituted to set aside the Chemical Foundation Com- pany. “No invisible government,” said Mr. Frear, “has ever shown more brazen effrontery than this dye monopoly. We may well be concerned over the power of these dye interests that reach to three cabinet officers in their effort to perpetuate their pres- ent exclusive power in this country.” Congress is warned in another statement issued by Representative Frear that if it dodges responsibility in tax revision or seeks to deceive itself or the people with false prom- ises “the chicken will come home to roost.” “Those who blindly demand im- possible things are not helping the situation.” said Mr. Frear, * e who demand haste that will result in the passage of a hybrid, ill-considered bilP to raise $4,000.000,000 in annual taxes are rendering no public serv- ice.” + The Wisconsin representative dis- cussed the various suggestions made by Secretary Mellon fof tax revision and corcluded with the announce- ment that he was not offering to solve the problem, but trying to show “how far the Secretary of the Treasury in his several public an- nouncements has failed in the effort to simplify the situation.” IMPRESSIVE TRIBUT!
