PLEDGE FULL
AID TO BIG
DOCKSTRIKE
Trades Congress May Call Out
Other Unions

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-Ship-
ping companies affiliated with
the Federation of British In
dustries held a secret meeting
today, it was learned. No pub
lie announcement of the pro-
ceedings has been made, but it
is understood that great alarm
was manifested at the success
full efforts of striking dockers,
not only in pulling out their
own men, but in persuading
other trades to quit.
The extremely small guam
tity of freight that is being
handled is moved by the ex-
ecutives and clerical stats of
the shipping companies and the
attitude of the strikers toward
their admittedly feeble efforts
is one of amused contempt.
U. S. Mail Halted.
More than 5000 bags of American
mail is held up at Plymouth and the
British postoffice authorities, when
interviewed by angry business men,
diselaimed all responsibility as the
mail was still ON the. steamship -ten-
ders and technically not in the Gus
tody of the postofice.
There is no doubt that any attempt
by the government to land the mail
would occasion bitter resentment
among its supporters.
The executive council Of the
Trades Union Congress has vot-
ed to give the striking lockers all
the assistance in its power; it is be-
lieved that the assistance will take
the form, first of financial aid. but
there is little doubt but that the
council will call out other unions if
it appears necessary
Strikers Strengthened.
The strikers position has been
strengthened by the publication Of the
government cost of living figures
showing that prices are higher now
than when the two-shilhngs, for
which the lockers are striking, were
deducted from their pay. The admis-
sion Of the shipping companies that
their profits in 1923 averaged ia
per cent increased public sympathy
for the strikers.

and General Workers Union. has
announced that there Is mo likeli-
hood of the strike ceasing for sew

DAUGHERT Y
Fate Hangs In Balance As
Probe Starts
Special to tn. Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90
Attorney-General Daugherty
will be asked to resign from
the cabinet if he is connected
by one specific fact with the
Teapot Dome oil scandal.
This was the information
from reliably informed quar-
ters today. At the same time
it was indicated Daugherty
was preparing a statement, re-
plying to the sensational
charges yesterday by Senator
Wheeler, Montana, author of
a resolution for a senate inves-
tigation of Daugherty's adj
ministration.
Wheeler charged that the de-
partment was protecting crooks;
that Jesse Smith, a close friend
of Daugherty who committed sui
eide here a few months ago, ac-
cepted money in connection with
cases before the department of
Justice; that Daugherty was a
friend of E. L. DOheny and Harry
F. Sinclair, lessees of the naval
Oil reserves; that Daugherty and
Z. B. Mclean, owner of the Wash
lngton Post. conferred here, SUM
day and before that at Palm Beach.
Mclean has figured in the senate
investigation and is now under sub
poena to appear again.
Harry Payne Whitney, millionaire
New York sportsman, who was as
ISOLATED with Harry F. Sinclair, testi-
fled before the committee in execu-
tive session this morning. He was
accompanied by his lawyer.
Whitney was questioned by MEM
bers of the committee as to his pur-
chases and sales of mammoth oil
stock. Whitney told the committee
that he now owns more than 100000
shares which he accumulated from
various sources. He was before the
committee half an hour.

one of the five, held on boycott
counts charging him with con-
spiracy to wreck the business
of the firms against which the
strike was being conducted.
May Bosses Usurp Government?
Another question which is raised
is the right of employers agents to
take over the state attorneys Office
for strike-breaking plots as Dudley
Taylor, attorney for the Illinois En-
ployers' Association was permitted to
do in questioning the five men now
held for conspiracy.
The first day of the trial in the
circuit courtroom was featured by
the statements to the jury of the
state and defence attorneys.
Assistant States Attorney Romano,
outlined the prosecution line Of
argument in bare faced fashion to
the non-union jury.
Romano's Scsb Philosophy.
Romano declared that the laws re-
lating to Conspiracy" must be inter-
preted in the broadcast possible fash
ion. He asserted that mere concert
ed action on the part Of the defend
ants must be held as sufficient proof
Of conspiracy" to ruin the business
Of the employers. Romano added
that il would not be necessary to
show that the defendants had ever
met together to plan this concerted
action. This, he said, because the

DOHENY SAYS HIS
FRIENDS "BARKED
WITH WOLVES"
Is Bitter Against His
Former Pals

MEN. YORK, Feb. 20.--E. u. Do
heny, in an interview here with c. w
Barron of the Dow-Jones financial
news service, voiced bitter enmity to-
ward the former friends who hac
run to cover when their connection
with his enterprises was disclosed.
Speaking of his final impression Of
the investigation, Doheny said
1t reminded me of old times in
the middle west when one of our
dogs at the mating season Joined
the wolves. The wolves would sur
round our camp at night and
could hear my own dog barking
among those wolves as they howled
around us.
II seemed to me when / was on
the stand in Washington that l
could hear the bark of my own
friends in the pack of political
wolves.
Much significance is attached tt
the comparison of the dogs anC
wolves made by Doheny by close
students of politics who have beer
estimating the effect of Do'leny's at
titude on the McAdoo candidacy. i
is recalled in this connection that il
was the custom of prospectors x
make every effort to shoot the dogs
who deserted them and joined thu
wolf packs.
"a lot of people in this country are
trying to run the American people
off their feet" said Doheny, referring
to the investigation of the oil lease
scandal.
Defends Lease.
He defended the lease he holds OF
naval oil reserves in California anC
explained his statement that his com
panies ought to make a profit of 500,
100000 from the reserve.
Naval Reserve Number One con
sists of approximately $4,000 acre:
of land. Under the most advantage
Gus conditions that could exist-if i
were all loose sand, high gas pressurI
and light oil--it would take at least
one well for every ten acres, that il
5000 wells for the $4,000 acres.
"Under conditions which have thus
far existed and now exist, those wellI
will cost $4,000 to $4,000 to the
well. Wells at Santa Fe, Signal Hill
and Huntington Beach cost an aver.
age Of over 100000 to the well.
Thirty two hundred wells at $685.,
600 to the well would represent ar
investment of more than 500, 900
for the cost of the wells alone"
100 per cent profit is considered
high even in the oil industry.

Bridge Rumpus of
28 Years Ago

The Kennebec Reporter OF nearly
20 years ago has an account OF the
vote as 10 whether the Gardiner and
P!ttston bridge shall be purchased
by the towns and its use made Iree
to all persons who had TO cross II:
As IL was under the conditions or
private ownership. all persons VINO
crossed had 10 pay toll
This account is most interesting
especially so are the pictures occupy
ing more than half the space given
10 the story. by which the editor III
ustrated what he felt to be the en-
thusiasm OF the people OF Gardiner
and Pittston.
There is a picture Of an eagle with
outstretched wings ciutching with
one claw the sharp corner of shield
and with the other holding some kind
Of a peace Offering. We are told that
what the eagle is after is a free
bridge. Below is a rooster. and we
are told that Gardiner voted 792 yes
with only 60 opposed. The rooster
representing Pittston Is OF a much
smaller less majestic type, telling
that although the bird is not so
large, IL crows as loud for Pittston' s
34S yeas against 80 nays. Below this
is n cannon in the process OF dis
charging much smoke from the muz-
zle and from the touch-hole. while
through the heavy smoke appears an
American fag waving approval Of
the vote made.
The stoyy of the election states
that the Advocates of IA free bridge
have the right to feel satisfied with
the results from the polls. No eX-
citement was manifested but the
vote showed that considerable think
ing and work had been put into the
movement. The result was more
than had been hoped for and strongly
emphasized the unfavorable opinion
that the greater part Of the tax
payers and business men entertained,
OF a toll bridge maintained in such
enlightened days.
4 committee consisting Of G.. T.
II. LeWett and Daniel Glidden was
chosen by Pittston to act with a
committee to be selected by the city
government of Gardiner at it's regu-
lar weekly meeting. to confer with
the directors OF the bridge company
for the purchase of the property.
Pittston also voted to bond her por-
tion Of the debt for six years.
