(Stan Correspondent OF The Federated Press)
NEW ORLEANS.-Conditions in
this city from the standpoint of the
workers are deplorable. Despite
official reports unemployment is on
the increase. Every week hundreds
are added to the already long list Of
those who are seeking Job of any
kind in order to live. The influx Of
scabs brought here by the shipping
interests to replace the 1000 white
and colored longshoremen, the hun
dreds of strikebreaking electricians,
the northern tourists who come to
escape the winter, added to the citi-
Gems out of work and on part time,
increase the unemployment evil.
The other day 500 able bodied
men were waiting on the fruit docks,
fighting for the opportunity of car
rying bananas at 25 cents an hour.
An installment house advertised for
statesmen and out of SO who applied
when told that the average earnings
would not exceed so cents a day,
go clamored for the jobs. Only FIVE
men were selected.

POINCARE DEPUTY
is PELTED WITH
RED PROPAGAN
Debate Assumes Novel
Form in Chamber
Special to The Daily worker,

PARIS.--While a regiment ~
cavalry cleared the street outside
the French chamber Of workers en-
gagged In demonstration against the
new tax proposal of the Poincare
government the opposition on the in
side under the leadership of the COM
munists and the radical socialist.
Edouard Herriot, hurled everything
from Billingsgate to movable furni-
ture at the government benches.
Andrew Maginot, minister Of war
in a rage that left him shrieking like
a whirling dervish, picked up copy
OF LHumanite, crumpled it into a
ball and hurled in at Marcel Cachin
communist deputy. He only sue
ceeded In hitting a neighbor in the
eye. Cachin more experienced
sharpshooter managed to land a copy
of the Temps, rolled into a ball be-
tween the optics of the minister of
war. Howling with rage the latter
attempted to make an assault on the
nearest radical deputy, but was held
down by friends.
A scandal resembling the Teapot
Dome affair was the cause Of the
first assault on the premier a few
days ago. Frauds in the payment Of
indemnities to certain individuals
were discussed, but the battle shifted
to the issue of giving the government
authority to Immediately take what
ever measures of economy it con-
siders advisable.

WRECKS LEAGUE
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Farmers Quit Commit
tee that Names "Cal."

BISMARCK. N. D.-The Nom
partisan league controlled republican
state central committee in session
here has refused to rescind its for
mer action endorsing the Coolidge
candidacy.
The motion to rescind was made
by dad" Walker who mercilessly
flayed the action Of the committee.
Committee Chairman Ray Frazier,
burst into tears when trying to
defend his and the committees rN-
commentator, after j. Z. Engel of
Maddox had accused him Of Garry
ing around a package to be christened
in the historic Potomac.
Frazier said he wanted to fight but
the meeting broke up with mutual
determinations coming thick and fast
altho no blows were struck.
This meeting is taken by the forty
league delegates who formed the
North Dakota Farmer-Labor Party
as complete proof Of their contention
that the league has degenerated into
a catspaw Of the republican machine
and has driven the last nail in the
political coffin Of that once militant
farmers organization.

WASHINGTON. - The American
cruiser Rochester has again been
dispatched to Honduras to protect
the dollars of the American bankers
invested in that country.
The State Department announced
today that a civil war is imminent
in Honduras and that American in
terests are endangered. This means,
of course, the interests of Wall
Street.
Many an old tar is today she'd
ding salt tears over the degenera-
ton Of the U. S. navy into a collect
ing machine for the millionaires of
America. Besides a knowledge of
geography and the laws of naviga-
ton, candidates for captaincies in
the navy may in the future be Sc
lected from the stats of the dollar-a-
week credit houses. The ancient
mariner is being pushed off the map

WILSON SEEN IN
IMMORTAL LIGHT
BY BISHOP BROWN
But Immortal Only for
Lies and Crime
By BISHOP WILLIAM M. BROWN

By BISHOP WILLIAM M. BROWN
Whether at Babylon or Wash
ington,"
Whether the Cup with sweet or
bitter run,
The Wine of Life keeps oozing
drop by drop,
The leaves Of Life keep falling
one by one.-Omar.
Wilson is dead, yet he lives, both
because he left undone those things,
which he ought to have done, and did
those things which he ought not to
have done.
Wilson still lives, and his immor-
tally is secure, because he did not do
what he ought to have done: N
Keep his promise to save this country
from the war,--he did not attempt to
do it; (2) Keep his promise, after
taking us into it, to make it a war
to end wars by forcing a peace upon
fourteen points which would make
future ones unnecessary and indeed
impossible he did not even present
them to the Versailles conference, and
go Keep his promise to have the war
Make the world safe for democracy
he did not add one item to our lib
critics, but took many away.
Wilson still lives, and his imnor-
tally is secure, because he did what
ought not to have been done: ID he
created and operated the largest and
most efficient lying, coercing and
robbing machinery in the interest of
the owing class and against the work
Ing class that any nation has ever
possessed; (2) He crowned money as
our king and influenced his majesty
to appoint corruption as the prime
minister, and (3) He placed the name
of our country above that Of every
other as a symbol of gold, graft and
crime-the triuns divinity in which
his 1000 Americanism lives, moves
and has its being, and to which
divinity he sacrificed thousands OF
young men and billions Of wealth
helping nightly to flood the worle
with blood and tears.

6, Of the new immigration bill ac-
cepted by the house committee and
soon to be reported to the house for
passage. It reads:
1.-THE immigrant shall furnish to
the consular officer, with his applica-
ton, copies Of his 'dossier' and prison
record and military record, if any, a
certified copy of his birth certificate
If required by the country of his
birth, and copies of all available pub
lie records concerning him kept by
the government to which he owes al.
legiance. The documents so fur

thereof"
Armed with this information, plus
the secret reports which the police
of each country will furnish to he
consular officer in his character as
Judge of the fitness of the alien tc
come to the United States, the con.
sular officer will determine whether

TEAPOT SCANDAL
SPLITS TWO OLD
PARTIES ASUNDER
Factionalism Grows as
the Leaders Fall


WASHINGTON. - The Ford-for-
President movement showed signs of
reviving today as the smell of oil
grew heavier on the political air.
There was talk among Ford's friends
here of drafting him to run, in spite
of his announced support of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
This was but one manifestation of
several, amid the oily reek from Tea
pot Dome, of the squirming of poll
ticians who are nightly concerned
about the public's reaction to the
evidence which has connected men of
both parties, in some degree, either
with the oil scandals themselves, or
with the men who are principals in
the scandals.
AS for McAdoo, his opponents
were busy today writing him off as
a possibility, while he and his friends
vigorously refused to be written off.
McAdoo will go before the senate
Teapot Dome committee tomorrow
to make the effort on which his po-
litical future probably depends.
The McAdoo clan is not indignant
at the dragging of McAdoo's name
into the oil scandal, thru E. L. Do
heny's testimony that McAdoo has
been and iE one of his lawyers. The
clan is not indignant---it is filed with
murderous fury at what is termed
a stab in the dark. McAdoo's speech
to the senate committee tomorrow
will be as forceful as he can make
it.
In Republican ranks, Hiram John
son serves notice he will not be
'run out" of the race. johnson saws
the Coolidge forces spread the story
he would withdraw because they are
afraid Of the use he will make of
the oil scandal issue against the ad-
ministration. These tactics, he says,
will prove a boomerang.
The DENLY question is bothering
the Coolidge leaders, because they
say, there is no effective way to fight
back. The demand for Denby's sum-
mary dismissal they regard as pure
politics. A leading member Of the
Coolidge organization said today the
president will not fire DENLY with
out a hearing, even II that course
should cost him the presidency.
Oil Mess Breeds Factionalism.
Especial to The Daily worker)
WASHINGTON.--Bitter factional
hatred grips the senate in the oil
scandal dispute as the committee of
inquiry delves further in its investiga-
ton.
There were signs Of an impending
split in Democratic ranks on the
Robinson resolution calling for the
resignation Of Secretary Of the Navy
DENLY.
To such proportion has the breach
widened that one or two votes may
result in victory on defeat for those
attempting to GUST the navy secre-
tary.

McAdoo Quits Doheny.
AS the investigation got under
way today developments included:
Senator Lenroot, chairman,of the
senate public lands committee, had
a letter from William g. McAdoo,
stating he had left the employ Of
E. L. Doheny, who holds the leases
on naval oil reserves No. One and
Two in California.
Lenroot said McAdoo will be per-
mitted to testify almost at once
before the committee to explain his
exact connection with Doheny.
Criminal prosecution Of former
Secretary Of the Interior Fall, who
received a 100000 "loan" from
Doheny, appeared possible following
the investigating committees decis-
ion not to call him as witness.
The public lands committee re-
opened hearings to trace the reports
that government officials Cleaned
up" in stock speculations in connec-
ton with the leases.
Seymour Cromwell, president Of
the New York stock exchange, was
expected as the first witness before
the committee.
McAdoo, candidate for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination, sent
a long letter to Lenroot demanding
an immediate hearing to dispel what
he said were unfair impressions
created by Doheny's testimony that
McAdoo had some connection with
the leases, which the senate has or
dered cancelled as illegal and cor
rupt.
McAdoo said that it was important
that he testify at once, in spite Of
Doheny's correction Of figures on
the money he has paid McAdoo as
his lawyer.
