TERMS TEAPOT DOME OIL LEASE AS “WASTEFUL” Senator Kendrick Attacks Action in Letting Out Hdserve in Wyoming. “Vicious and criminally wasteful” was the characterization applied to the government's recent leasing of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve in Wyoming by Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, democrat, in an address in the Senate te Friday. Senator Kendrick sald that this lease would skrengthen monopolistic control of the oll industry and would eventually rise to plague the administration. The lease was made to the Sinclair oll interests, he said. The terms of the lease, he continued, were not only improvident, but would cause a “shameful and unnecessary destruc- tion” of the final naval oil reserve. He added that it would not promote com- petition, as claimed, but in a time of “huge overproduction aid in_ turning to private interests the millions of dollars which the government would realize” were the property to have been “properly handled.” The senator said the claim that it was necessary to drill wells in the Teapot reserve was not worthy of *serious consideration, inasmuch as any assertion ‘of such drainage for an area of greater than ten acres never Had been substantiated by scientists. He added that “of all the myths and fables constructed by the Secretary of the Interior” in defense of the lease, none had less real sub- stance than that concerning drainage.

Strike referendum ballots will be sent to the 1.000 members of the union following the executive commit- tee meeting here tonight, John T. Wood, president, announced. If the referendum shows that the pot- tery workers favor a strike rather than continue at work at the present wages, a strike will be Tcalled, Mr. Wood said. Although there is no closed shop, all pottery workers would go out, he added. The brotherhood presented demands at the beginning of the conference Wed- nesday for a 20 per cent wage increase. When the employers refused to agree to this, further discussion led to scaling down of demands by the union repre. sentatives to an 8 per cent.increase, which would constitute a restoration of the wage scale in effect before Novem ber 3, 1921, when a reduction was put into_effect. The employers, however, refused” to agree on any terms other than the present wage scale.
