The increase of the price of
crude rubber and the manufac-

that those companies and individ-

The systematic cultivation of

CLAWS IS FIRST

BALL|NGER PROBE
Dismissed Field Agent Sum-
moned to Stand at Opening of
Congressional Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The direct
Congressional committee of inquiry
proposes to deal with the work it has
undertaken was evidenced today in
the summoning of Louis r.. CLAWS as
the first witness to give testimony.
CLAWS is the dismissed field agent, who
preferred charges against Secretary Of
the Interior Ballinger in connection
with the Cunningham coal claims in
Alaska. He sent the charges direct to
President Taft and the latter, after
considering them, wrote a long letter
to Ballinger declaring that he had been
~unjustly attacked and that Claws
should be Immediately separated from
the service. Since his dismissal CLAWS
had carried on an unrelenting campaign
against Secretary Ballinger by means
of interviews and signed articles in
various publications.
1t was in connection with the
preparation of the CLAWS charges
against Secretary Ballinger that Gift
ford Pinchot was drawn directly into
the controversy. Mr.. Pinchot' directed
Associate Forester Price and Assistant
Law officer Shaw, of his bureau, to as
sist CLAWS in framing up the charges.
These facts, proclaimed by Mr.. Pinchot
In a letter to Senator Dolliver, together
with the letter itself. led to the dis
missal of Pinchot, Price and Shaw from
the forestry service.
CLAWS being the man around whom
the greater part of the tempest has
turned, his appearance OF the witness
stand naturally tended TO centre inter
