Senator Charges Dye Mo.

Washington Officials

Washington, d. c., Aug. The
charges that the dye monopoly head
ed by the chemical foundation com
pany," has sought to influence three
members of President Hardings Cahi-
net in an effort to pcrpetuato its pres
ont exclusive power in this country,
is made by Representative Frear, Re
publican OF Wisconsin, in a letter to
Chairman Penrose OF tho senate com
mittec, considering the tariff till. Tho
Wisconsin member, who led the sue
Cessful fight in the hoUsc against the
dye embargo in the Furdney bill. re-
ferred specifically 10 the letters writ
ten to Senator Penrose by secretaries
Weeks and DENLY.
Nir F'rclr also declared that At
iorney General Dlugherty had failed
TO acknowledge or act on his letter OF
july Is. asking that legal proceedings
be instituted to set aside the chemical
foundation company.
Non invisible government said
Mr. Frear. has ever shown moro
hrazen cffrontery than this dye mo
nonuly Not one line Of evidence in all
the hearings | am informed. suggests
that this government depended upon
or received aid from any dye estah-
lishments in the country during the
recent war and the argument that We
should preserve this half billion dol
lar domestic dye monopoly with its
excessive prices and enormous power
because Of approaching war and thru
need OF private protection is both
prcpost, rous and ridiculous.
Secretaries Weeks and DENLY arc
reported by the press to have written
YOUR committee simultaneously that
the dye embargo should be continued
for that reason. II so they certainly
had little information on which TO
base such statement and caution Is
thrown to tho winds when dye interests
bring these two letters to the commit
tee on tho same dag to influence com
mittee action.
Il have no fear OF their influence,
either in your committee or on the
body YOU represent. but I do express
concern over any power that can Sc
cure such letters from such high
sources and. more important. that ap-
Tarcn'iy has sndcavorcd to smother cf-
forts made to have tho goo crnmrnt

Failure for practically three weeks
