STANDARD OIL GETS
 TEAPOT DOME PIE"

Washington, Feb. o-Was Stand ar1 Oil handed 100000 of the peo- ple's money just because one of its subsidiaries held illegal claims or Teapot Dome?
 These claims-known as "cat and dog" claims-were held by men who sunk wells on the naval reserve with out authority. Senator Walsh of Mon tana declared that none of these claims had even a shadow of legality about them," and that not one claim ant dared go before the proper public officials and ask for a patent |. any Of this ground.
 Despite the illegality of these claims, the ywere paid off, and ST.. 100000 of the peoples money was used for that purpose. The money was paid to a subsidiary of Standard Oil which had suddenly acquired posses sion of the claims.
 "Of course the secretary of the in terior did not do 1t, but Mr. Sinclair did it, said Senator Walsh. But il MT. Sinclair had not paid $I ,ooo 900 to clear off these eat and dog claims, he would have been able to pay the gov 900 more for the lease than he did, so what is the difference?
 "The government of the United States" continued Senator Walsh, paid SI 100000 for these claims. To whom did they pay it? They paid it to the Pioneer Oil Company? Who is the Pioneer Oil Company? The Pio- neer Oil Company is a subsidiary of the Midwest Company. The Midwest Company is subsidiary of the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana; so that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was paid $I ,ooo,ooo for these spurious claims.
 The Standard Oil was potential bidder for this lease on the Teapot Dome, but Mir. Sinclair paid them $I,- GOO, 900 to get out of the field. That is speculation but there Is no otxer possible theory"

PENNSY LOCOMOTIVES
 DANGEROUS TO LIFE

Indianapolis, Feb o-The Penn sylvania railroads use of defective To- comotives brought bitter criticism by Inn A. Sherley, assistant chief in spector of locomotives for the inter state commerce commission.
 The inspector declared that this railroad has the record for maintain ing and attempting to operate bad order engines Officials of the system are we'll aware of the condition of their locomotives, he said, and have been repeatedly warned by the inter state commerce commission ot rem edy conditions. 1t was stated that thousands of dollars have been lost to coal owners, manufacturers, farmers, grain dealers and other shippers
 It was disclosed that inspectors op- erating for the commission cut out 70 ed on the entire Pennsylvania sys- tenn in January alone. Approximately 20 of this nunbe rwere retired in In dianapolis. Some of the locomotives were taken off crack passenger trains, which were delayed several hours in the union station before another en- zine could be secured that would not endanger life and property.
 Railroad shop men are comparing the Pennsylvania's dangerous motive equipment with that of the New York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio and other systems that maintain friendly relations with skilled union shop men.

Mellon s Plan 70 Reheue Reality Of Surtax Gets
 Death BLou Ln Congress
ENGINEERS DEMAND
 CENTRAL PAY RAISE
Same Terms as Were Made With This Line Put Forward as Basis
 on New Haven.

Railroad engineers and fremen num- bering 1o0,OO0 propose to settle their wage demands on the terms agreed to by the New York Central, per cent increase in wages and no change in the major working rules. This became known when letters signed by Warren $. Stone of the engineers and D. B. Robertson of the hremen were made public III the railroad district.
 These letters written to the commit tes of adjustment, representing the unions in their negotiations with the various railroads, warned the employees that they would be expected to make settlement on "New York Central terms Although the men originally asked for approximately F per cent increase in wages, 1t was pointed out III these let ters that it would be impossible to get better terms than those agreed upon by the New York Central except through a strike"
 The letter recites that the Rock Island settlement, made by the engineers dur ing the New York Central negotiations, was unortunate, since the men agreed to return to work for their former wages. This settlement resulted in both the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie and the Union Pacific coming forward with sim liar efforts, 1t is said, and for time threatened the negotiations with the New York Central The offers of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie and the Union Pacific to settle under the old terms have been refused.
 The letter warns the various commit tees not to accept any major changes i'll the rules, and joints out that the settlement with the New York Central, while 1t involves the changin gof some rules, left all of the important work ing conditions intact News of the let ter spread rapidly through the railroad district. For days the executives have been waiting the next move on the part of the unions relative to the adjustment of wages, as the results of demands made last Fall and statement made by the cials following the settlement with the New York Central
 Judging from the opinions expressed the executives will resist any attempt to make them settle on the terms out lined in the New York Central agree ment. They will hold out, in some in stances at least, for no increase in wages unless there is a revision in the working rules.
 It was pointed out that even the 5 per cent increase for the railroads would mean an increase of $20,OO0,000 through out the United States. If the increase were granted to these two branches of the Big Four Brotherhood corresponding increases would have to be made for the conductors and trainrnen, which would more than double the amount involved.

Public Corporation
 Refuses Living Wage

Clarksburg, w Va, Feb. o-Elec- trical workers here and in Fairmont are receiving statewide attention for their plucky fight against anti-union methods of the Monongahela West Penn Public Service Company.
 This corporation opposes the eight hour day and an adequate wage. The electrical workers exhausted their ef- forts to secure a settlement and were forced on strike last July.
 The company will not arbitrate un- less permitted to select two-thirds of the arbitrators, though the workers are called upon to pay one-half of the boards expenses.
 The company rejected the workers request that all workers eligible to membership in the union be included in the contract. The company's wage rate is about 40 per cent. below the average in radius of 200 miles from this city.

No Company Union"
 For New York Central

New York, Feb. o.-The New Yorf Central lines have no intention of dabbling with company union" pro- posa1s, according to P. E. Crowley, vice-president for operations, in a speech before the New York Central Veterans Association.
 The New York Central has a con- tract with the shop crafts, while the Pennsylvania, its nearest competitor, maintains a company 'union."
 The CentraPs attitude toward com pany-managed and company-hnanced ".unions" is indicated by MT. Crow ley's statement:
 Some employees have failed to join the veterans association under the mistaken belief that perhaps the com pany is endeavoring to build it up to supersede the shop mems unions and the brotherhoods, and that perhaps it is leading to a company union. The company has no such idea. This asso- eiation was not originated by the off cers and we were invited to become members after it was formed"

PUNITIVE WAGES"
 CENTER OF FIGHT,
 SAYS BROTHERHOOD
Time and One-Half for Overtime Called Obstacle to Settlement in
 Circular to Big Four Leaders.

That the principal fight in the long drawn out wage negotiations between the New York Central management and its engineers and fremen was certered on the question of punitive wages" or time and one-half for over time work, is revealed in a circular letter recently sent out by the brotherhoods' leaders to the committee chairman of the unions, copies of which were received yesterday.
 Tt became evident early in the con- ferences.' says the letter, which IS sign ed by Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the engineers, and D. B Roberston president of the fremen, 'that there was more money there if we could re1inq1ish time and one-ha1f for overtime Final 1v, 1t came down to the point where we were. told. that. no settlement could be reached unless we could relinquish time and one-half for overtime on the first two hours of overtime and accept the pro-rata overtime rate instead. We ap- pealed to President Smith (of the New York Central,) and he instructed the vice-president to forget that part of 1t and settle with us''
 It became necessary, according to this official report of the negotiations, to ap- peal from the vice-presidents and the committee of managers to President Smith on three occasions which presu1n- ably accounts for the several beraks in the continuity of the conference. Much of the delay was caused, the statement says. because the Rock Island engineers settled without getting orders from the leaders. on basis of the old agreement as to wages and working conditions. It IS also brought out that the engineers of the Union Pacific sought to take sirni- lar action, but were denied permission by national headquarters to do so. The increase in wages. the letter points out, is the largest single increase ever grant ed III any wage movement.

 The propagandists of the Mellon tax plan continually refer to percent ages of reduction taxpayers will re- ceive. It is not question of per centages, but a question of dollars and cents.
 The concensus of opinion among Democratic leaders in the House, who have first to deal with the Mellon tax plan, Is that every honest, thoughtful citizen should have this one object in view: A fair scientific scale of rates, and to the extent that the Mellon plan embraces them every citizen should be whole-heartedly for the plan
 Propagandists of the Mellon tax plan overshot the mark when they charged in advance of the publication of the Mellon tax bill that 1t would be opposed by the Democrats in Con- gress for political purposes, although as a matter of fact the Democratic party through its national organiza- ton and outstanding leadership, has been de1nanding tax reduction from Republican Congress ever since the close of the World War.
 The subject of internal taxation is essentially an economic and not a party. or partisan question, and Ii was very unfortunate therefore. that Sec retary of the Treasury Mellon did not invite a single Democratic leader to confer with him on his plan, but worked it out in secret, and then its proponents undertook to commit the country to 1t before its actual details
