PROBE OF OIL LEASES

ington.-Republica senatorial
leaders consented to a most searching
investigation of the conduct of Secre-
tary of the Interior Fall and Secretary
of the Navy DENLY, in connection with
the leasing to private corporations of
naval oil lands in California and Wy
oming.
Involved in the inquiry, which will
be made by the senate public lands
committee, of which Senator Smoot,
Utah, is chairman, is the whole policy
of the department as Fall has admin

resources of the public domain. In

interests, republican leaders took the
position that Fall must be given an
opportunity to answer the serious
charges made against him in the sen.

McAdoo to Enter Race
for Presidency, Rumor

Washington, April l6.-Former
President Wilson'S letter repudiatlng
the message given to the New York
democratic. dinner by Joseph ?.
Tumulty and the consequent break
between Mr.. Wilson and his long
time devoted secretary are regarded
here by some democratic leaders as
certain indications that William. G.
McAdoo is planning to become a
candidate for the democratic presi-
dental nomination in 1924.
Mr.. Wilson's reputation of the
message to the Jefferson day BAN
quet was actnated, in the opinion OF
leading democrats, not because OF
the wording Of the message de-
'ivered by M, Tumulty as coming
from Wilson, Nut because of the i'm
preston created that it was an en-
dorsement for the denomination OF
James M. Cox.
Mr.. Wilson, his friends say, is not
for Cox for another nomination and
does lean favorably toward the
nomination of his son-in-law and
former secretary Of the treasury.
who was runnerup to Cox at San
Francisco in 1920. Party leaders
insist that McAdoo is quietly man
euvering for the nomination next
time and that this was one of the
reasons for the recent removal of his
residence from New York to Cal

proval Of an 5000 man navy as

and American naval experts over
one Of $1,000 men advocated by the

Arthur, republican, Oregon, one Of

Chairman Kelley, in charge of the
bill, would insist on a separate vote
on the amendment. Under the rules,
one-hfth of the members on the

Some OF the members supporting

whether the vote yesterday of III

No Retreat for
Miners, Asserts
Chief in Speech
Lewis Declares Effort to Beat
Men Back to Nonunion
Level Was Cause of
Strike.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 1.-THE
miner is not responsible for the ills
of the. coal industry and it is poor
industrial leadership that can con-
ceive industrial improvement only
through debased manhood and a
pauper level of existence" said John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers OF America, in an
address delivered before the Spring
field Midday Luncheon club. Mr.
Lewis spoke in part as follows:
"The present strike in the anthra-
cite and bituminous coal industry
is the natural sequence of the organ
lied effort of the coal operators to
beat the miners backward to the
level of subsistence obtaining in the
nonunion fields. The miners will
not retreat. The human values in
volved are of infinitely greater con-
sequences than the profit margins OF
the operators.
Miner Not Responsible"
"The miner is not responsible for
the ills of the coal industry and it
is poor industrial leadership that can
conceive industrial improvement only
through a debased manhood and
pauper level of existence. APPROX
mately 100000 of the population Of
our nation are directly dependent on
the mining industry and it is Gods
will that the children of the mining
camps be fed, clothed and sheltered
to the same degree as those of other,
citizens.
The principles at issue in this great
strike will not be compromised by
the mine workers. The dream of the
coal operators that the mine work
ers will engage in multiplicity of
conferences and negotiate. independ-
ent district agreements will not ma
terialze. The union will not dissi.
pate its strength or betray its mem-
bers by such folly. The problems
Of the coal industry are national in
scope and organic in nature.
Claims Issue Is National.
"When the present strike is ended
the issues must be settled in a ma
tional way. Either the base must
be fixed by the central competitive
field in the manner heretofore GUS
tomary. or a national joint confer
ence must be assembled with joint
representation of each producing
field in the bituminous coal industry.
The competitive relationship Of
each producing district would then
be considered and the interest of
each be fully protected. An agree
nlent thus settled would apply in all
districts whether union or nonunion
and would be contribution to the
stabilization of industry. Such a
plan would doubtless be met with
walls of protest from those whose
special interests might be affected
but the logic and sound judgment
CT Such plan would appeal to
thoughtful people"
