SCHOOL NOTES

The high school boys haven work
ing on the tennis courts and track this
week. The tennis courts are being
lraked, rolled and put in condition for
the spring work in this line. We won
the pennant last year in tennis and
hope to repeat our successes this year.
We have practically all the tennis
team who played last year in school
this year. and they should be stronger
than lrst year.
The track is being graded and grad
aually put in shape. The boys will turn
out for practice next week. We are
improving the track by putting in a
|22O yard straighta-way. This will
give runners in the 22O dash and the
low hurdle better chance as hereto
fore they have had to run more than
half the distance in curve. The track
material in school this year is promis-
ing, and we hope to make better
showing than last year when we won
the track pennent.
I Junior Notes
We are now making final plans for
the play, and hope it will be success.
In Biology we are taking up the part
tof our work which is devoted to Bot
any and we find it very interesting.

We are pleased with our grades and
glad that examinations are over again.

Special to The DaIIy worker,

WASHINGTON, Feb. r.
George Creel, head of the gov
eminent publicity during the
war, told the committee at the
afternoon session that he ap-
preached naval experts to in
duce them to advocate leasing
of the oil reserves.
Creel said he was employed
by ]. Leo Stack, of Denver,
who was associated with F. G..
Bonfils of the Denver Post in
dealings with Harry Sinclair
regarding Teapot Dome.
The Virtuous Creel.
Creel said he did not know Doheny
was behind the effort to have the
reserve lease.
He said he met Doheny one day in
Washington hotel.
when he told me was working
for him l Immediately resigned" said
Creel.
Creel told the committee his tes-
timony was in reply to the statement
that he had hired Creel because Of
the latter's influence with the Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels.
There was never any question Of
|infpence,r CreeI declared. CAS- a
matter Of fact l don't believe had
any.
II knew then that / had just as
much chance to change Daniels as
a Missouri mule. l thought my
friendship for Secretary Daniels
would be hindrance rather than a
help"
Consider Appointees.
Creel testified he received $4,000
from Stack for his part in the
matter. He said the reason he quit
was not because he thought there
was anything crooked about the deal
but because he didn't like Doheny.
After a short hearing the commit
tee went into executive session on
the nominations of Strawn and Atlee
Pomerene, but recessed without maxi
ing a decision.
Strawn's connection with the
Standard Oil bank in Chicago was
discussed and some Democratic nnerk
bers Of the committee indicated they
might oppose his confirmation on that
ground.

Silas Strawn is understood to have
been summoned to appear before the
committee again as a result Of his

Big Operabrs Said to
Favor LeVis' Plan

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. r.
A subcommittee d the joint wage
scale committee rs appointed today
by operators andEhiners to consider
tentative offerId a one to three
year working agreement at the pres
ent scale for the entral competitive
field.
The committee VII consist of John
l.. Lewis and Villain Green for the
miners; Phil H. lenna and Michael
Gallagher for the operators.
Lewis stated tat he would not
compromise in the demand for a four
year agreement, claiming that the
coming election was a point in his
favor.
Mr.. Lewis speech on the opening of
the conference in presenting the min
ers' terms to the oprators was highly
praised by the coal barons. They said
it was a masterpiece Of diplomacy
and Cancellation and the most rabid
anti-union operator could not but be
impressed with the desire Of the mine
union chief to avoid a conflict with
the bosses.
Whether the rank and file of the
miners like it SO we'll is another
question. The operators are aware
that Lewis hold on the union is pre-
carious and one of his strongest argu-
ments here in making his deal is that
unless the bosses agree to a settle
ment that will enable him to 20 before
the members Of the union and boast
OF getting a good bargain that they

Want arley on World
Reconstruction
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

LONDON, Feb. 12-Premier Ram
say Macdonald announced in the
House of Commons today that one
of the first international proposals
of the new labor government will be
world conference on reconstruction
In response to a question, the pre-
mier said that details of memorial
appealing for such conference, were
now being considered by the cabinet
and 81 am glad to report that the
prospects are bright"
Replying to another question, Mac
Donald expressed hope that the
Anglo-French negotiations in regard
to the separatist movement in Ger
many would soon be satisfactorily
concluded.
House Crowded
The House of Commons was crowd
ed when the labor ministers began
handling routine questions fired from
the floor. Among other interesting
disclosures made by Macdonald was
that the government would save the |
salary Of 5000 pounds sterling paid
to the foreign secretary so long as
he combined this portfolio with his
premiership as now.
Parliament reassembled today after |
the change of ministry and prime |
minister Ramsay Macdonald and his
followers took over the government |
side" Of the House for the first time
in British labor's history. The lib !
erals took seats in a lower row, on
the government side.
Members began assembling early |
to get good seats. Viscount Curzon
was the first seated. Ben Smith was
second and Viscountess Aston third.
Macdonald was scheduled to speak
at $3.50 p. m. Loud cheers greeted his
arrival.
Ex-premier Baldwin and members
of the late conservative cabinet oc-
cupied the opposition front benches.
In making his first formal speech |
ss directing chief of parliament, the
premier made it clear that labor
would maintain its control until eject
ed by positive and direct action Of a
in commons.
"The labor government" he said,
will 60 out only when the respon-
sible members of either party or any
party move a direct vote Of lack Of
confidence and that vote carries this.
body.

of confidence on the part of the whole
Macdonald continued.
The governments aim, he said, in
the housing problem, is
building houses costing 500 pounds
sterling, with an average rental Of
nine shilings a week.
Heretofore, he said there has been
mere nibbling at the problem Of
unemployment.

CPPA HANGS

BOSSPARTIES
Hold Cleveland Meet After
Denis. and G. 0. P.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. IA con-
wention of political parties and
the railway unions will be held
in Cleveland on July A, ITO dis
cuss the merits of the presi-
dental nominees" as a result of
the decision of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action
here today. The call is to in
clude farmer-labor, socialist
and affiliated parties.
The motion to adopt the reso-
luton providing for the con-
ference after the democratic
and republican conventions was
seconded by Morris Hillquit. At
tempts to have the call read that the
purpose Of the proposed conference
was to select a candidate" failet
after a bitter fight.
The real fight of the conference
came this morning when the organ
ization committee brought in its re-
tort providing for a convention on
July fourth in Cleveland ITO take ac-
ton Of nominating candidates for
president and vice president and such
other questions as may come before
the convention"
For two hours the advocates of the
May thirtieth convention and Farmer
LaSsT Party battled to amend the
report to put the conference on rec
ord for independent political action
and an earlier convention.
The report was so drawn as to
leave open the question whether the
Cleveland convention would nomi-
nate its own presidential ticket or
endorse one of the old party tickets.
When the question was raised as to
which it meant, Chairman Johnston
ruled: ct is broad enough for us to
either endorse or to nominate"
Morris Hillquit followed with a
speech in which he said: "This call
does not commit US to any course of
action. You may. say at Cleveland
we will not have anything to do will
the old party candidates, or you may
say endorse the candidates of one oe
the old parties"
These statements showing that the
conference was to once more straddle
the big question which has aroused
the workers and farmers of this
country stirred the fighting spirit of
the delegates who want a Farmer
Labor Party.
Delegate Sullivan was on the floor
with the following resolution putting
the conference on record for the
May thirtieth conventions:
Whereas, all the actions Of the
government during recent years
have shown that under the Republi-
can and Democratic administra-
ton alike the existing government
is the agency of wall Street and
the specially privileged class, us
ing its power to aid in the exploita-
ton of the farmers and industrial
workers by his privileged class, and,
n Whereas, the exposures in con-
nection with the Teapot Dome
naval reserve oil leases have again
proven that both the Republican
and Democratic parties are but
tools of the privileged interests
for the looting Of the nation, and
these exposures have involved men
Of both parties including so-called
good men" and "bad men," thus
proving the utter hopelessness of
the workers and farmers achieving
anything for themselves by voting
for candidates on the old party
tickets, and
Whereas, the only means thru
which the exploited farmers and
industrial workers can secure re-
lief from the evil conditions which
