ALLEN PREFERS REDS
TO AMERICAN STRIKER S
Haze More Regard for Law,
Kansas Governor Says.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 25.-The veneer
of our civilization rs wearing very
thin," Gov. Allen declared In an address
here last night on the strike situation.
The reports OF widespread violence
reaching us the last few days Indicate
that people are getting angry. What we
need and need very greatly Is a new
birth in the hearts OF American citizens
touching on their duty to the law. We
need 1t far worse than we need immigra-
tion laws.
The coal strike brought us into con-
tact with the strikers led by the radical
foreign Reds. IL / ever have to choose
the strikers ! deal with I'd rather have
the foreign. Reds than the American
citizens. The foreigner hates the Gov
ernment but fears II. The tendency OF
the American born striker, like too many
American citizens. is to have neither
respect nor fear for his Government"
Rather than being about over. the rail
strike now Is ''at its most tense period. +"
the Governor asserted.
He said that President Harding's re-
cent message to Congress confirmed the
view taken by Kansas in enacting tho
industrial court laws that such a law
needs teeth.

consideration of the ship subsidy legis-

was stated or his behalf to-day
that such action would be in accord with
his views.
1t was asserted at the same time,
however. that developments between
now and the middle OF November might
upset any plans formed now. His
course, it was indicated, would depend
largely on the situation after the
elections.
The statement on the prospect Of a
special session had reference to his let
ter to Majority Leader Mondell OF the
House acquescing In the decision of the
administration leaders to postpone ship
subsidy legislation.
Supporters of the legislation are con-
vinced that the President will call a
special session on the bill.
THE shipping bill will be taken up in
the House in November. the week after
election, and will be passed by an over
whelming vote. President Harding's
ASesSi SohSuhthh6 " lcHlpOTdTy uelay
until after election clarifies the situa-
tion and assures quick and speedy pas
sage" declared William s. Greene (Rep.,
Mass.), chairman Of the House Commit
tee on the Merchant Marine and Fish
cries. in q statement to-day.
Mr.. Greene was emphatic in assert
ing his belief that the bill will have
the right OF way over all other legisla-
tion when 1t comes up. He added:
I'VE are assured now OF a rule that
will give the bill the preference. The
members OF my committee are ready to
discuss every angle of it. We are certain
to have almost every Republican vote
for II and have been assured by many
Democrats that they will support It, too.
The merchant marine question is bigger
than any party and this bill has been
drawn for the interests OF all the coun-
try. Its provisions should appeal es-
pecially to the producers in the South
and middle West. 1t guarantees ample
outlets to foreign mArkets--just what
they have needed foC many years.
There will be sosne Democratic OPP
position. OF course that Is sure. But
/ am certain that those who are so
shortsighted as to oppose measure so
beneficial to all will hoar from their
constituents at the polls when the full
benefits Of the bill are realized. 1t is
a measure so carefully drawn that every
one In this country will get some bene-
fit from It, and labor will derive n
large share by the Increased activity In

pay fixed by the United States Railroad
Labor Board and at the same terminal
point.
with this important phase of the con-
troversy disposed OF there remained only
the problem of reaching an understand
ing concerning the future relations be-
tween the railroad employees themselves
and between the employees who had been
on strike and their employing companies.
Pension Rights Guaranteed.
'.The railroads disclaim any desire TO
take advantage of the situation to cur
tail the pension rights or other privi-
leges which the striking employees had
earned by virtue Of their term of SER
vice with the companies, and the roads
at that conference agreed to take back
ell employees with such privileges un-
impaired. These railroad companies felt
at liberty TO do this because such action
on their part would not i'm any way
affect or prejudice the rights or privi-
leges of others who did not participate
in the strike.
The railway executives also agreed
that If. after the men return to work,
there remained any unsettled dispute
growing out of the situation which the
companies and the representatives of
the employees were unable to settle in
direct conference. such matters should
be referred for final determination to a
commission Of ten members to be made
,up of the chief executives of the five
train and engine mems brotherhoods who
We're acting as mediators and five rail-
road executives experienced in matters
such as would naturally come before
a committee of that kind.
Would Protect Loyal Men.
'The railway presidents also proposed
that If an agreement could be reached
along lines substantially as indicated
above, they would endeavor to carry
out the agreement in q spirit OF concilia-
ton and sincere purpose to effect a gen
eral settlement of all matters in con-
troversy resulting from the strike. The
railway executives were certain that
while making substantial concessions to
the mon On strike such settlement as
proposed would in no way sacrifice the
right or privileges OF the loyal men
now employed by the companies repre-
sented.
THE committee of mediators worked
helpfully with the carriers in an effort
to bring about an acceptable adjustment.
The railway executives who took part in
the conferences sincerely regret that the
representatives Of striking employees. al
though definitely assured the substance
Of all that they asked for, were urwill-
ing to agree to a settlement except under
conditions which the railway executives
were unwilling and unable to accept.
1T Is difficult to imagine any fairer
basis of compromise than the one devel-
opcd at yesterdays conference and
agreed to by the carriers represented
1t must be assumed. therefore, that the
present controversy cannot be settled by
that method"

ever" he said. (which will serve notice
on mine owners and miners that 10 they
do not compose their differences the peo-
pie, who are 10 suffer. will take any
course and every course to protect them

The Senator described the conditions
of the coal industry as disgusting and
unnecessary, and said the miners and
operators were indifferent TO the re-
quirements OF the people in their ava
rice.
"If the miners went back TO work
now" Senator Robinson said, there
would be millions of houses where women
and children would shiver and suffer,
thousands OF smokestacfs would show
no sign OF industry.
II regret the only action proposed
by those charged with responsibility In

TERMS OIL LEASE
CRIMINAL WASTE
Senator Kendrick Says Teapot
Dome Contract Will Damn
the Administrations
SPEAKS IN UPPER HOUSE
Transfer Will Cause Destruc-
ti0n Of Last Naval Reserve,
He Declares.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Declarine
that the recent leasing of the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve in Wyoming
strengthened monopolistic control OF
the oil industry, Senator Kendrick
(Dem.. Wyo.), told the Senate In
speech late to-day that the contract
which turned over the field to Sinclair
OIL interests was vicious and crimi-
nally wasteful." and that 1t would
eventually plague and even damn the
Administration
The terms of the lease. the Senator
said, were not only improvident but
would cause Shameful and unneces-
sary destruction" OF the final naval oil
reserve. He added that IT. would not
promote competition 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 20 have
been properly handed"
Calls Drainage a Myth.
The Senator said the claim that 1t
was necessary to drill wells in the
Teapot reserve was not worthy of seri-
GUS consideration, inasmuch as any as
sertion 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 substance than that con-
corning drainage.
Public attention, he asserted again
had been attracted to the Teapot Dome
incident by the recent sending of a de-
tachment of marines there to eject q
drilling crew. This action, he added,
was done with the approval of the
PRESIDENT, but it was 'inexcus-
able" and was done over the protests
OF the State authorities. Tho Federal
Government, he said. had had no
trouble since the reserve was first set
aside in keeping drillers out. and de-
clared Il would have had no trouble in
the future, despite arguments to the
contrary by Federal officials here.
Lower Royalty Rate.
In an analysis of the contract given
the Mammoth Oil Company, organized
by the Sinclair interests and which
Senator kendrick said maintained a
"brotherly relationship with the
standard interests" the Wyoming
Senator declared that it gave to the
lessee lower royalty rate than Is pro-
vided in other Federal leases. This
phase alone, he added, meant that the
Government eventually would suffer the
loss of huge sums in addition to pos
sible shortage OF oil for the navy. the
object OF the establishment of the re-
serve.
Criticizing the lease further. Senator
kendrick said it provided graduated
royalty scale that appeared well but
meant nothing. He claimed that the
contract rates were so stated as tc
permit OF manipulation and that there
fore the Government never would know
exa city what it should receive.

TRADING IS DULL
IN COTTON MARKET
Proximity of First Notice
Day for July Contracts
Brings on Liquidation.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Trading
on the New York Cotton Exchange
was less active than during prev
ious sessions and prices fuctuated
within narrower limits. Support
came chiefly from Wall Street and
wire houses, while other wire
houses sold, as did spot and South
ern interests. There was a good
deal of liquidation in the near
months, owing to the proximity of
first notice day for July contracts.
The July position is a most in
teresting one. There Is some gossip
that the biggest of the three spot
houses is short Of July against
their holdings Of spot cotton in
local warehouses. Claim is made
that the spot house which took up
10000 bales on May has disposed
of nearly the entire amount, $4,000
bales going to Liverpool and $1,000
bales to Barcelona and Genoa, and
10000 bales not accounted for. The
other spot house Is said to have re-
ceived inquiries from South Caro-
lima and New England mills. ono
statement being that a Southern
mill man looked over the local
stock and said 1t was of a better
class and at a cheaper basis than
any cotton in the South. In con-
nection with the July position 1t Is
claimed that perhaps 10000 bales or
more would be shipped out for ex-
port.
A prominent local trader, for
merly a banker, took the dull side
of the market on the theory that
the worlds dry goods markets
were exhausted, that the South
could not raise an adequate supply
of cotton to meet next years re-
quirements and that July and
August will bring real crop dam
age. even though the June report
may show an improvement as usual.
In sympathy with the liquidation
to New York bulls unloaded in
Liverpool on better weather reports
from New York.
Weather advices on the whole
were favorable, excepting q few
spots in Texas where flood condi.
tions affect low-land districts.
