Los ANGELES, Jan. 9-The
meeting of the Coast League base
ball managers at Oakland Monday
is likely to result in ,cutting the
club s player limit from 20 10 20,

Now that the coast magnates are

who deserted the free lance artists
and eagerly read the hundreds of
party platforms that were distributed.
Many copies of the "LaFollette Illu-

workers who carried LaFollette but

MEANS IN ANOTHER "CONFESSION''

I the politicians who were running the
oil show. This is Means story.
Daugherty Failed to Show Up.
Means is the second of those who
testified against Daugherty to retract.
But those who would make much of
these retractions to clear Daugherty
of guilt, are reminded that when
Daugherty was invited to take the
witness stand and clear himself, he
availed himself of every legal tech
nicality in order to dodge examina-
ton. This fact stands out very clear
ly against Daugherty.
II, is matter of regret that Burton
X. Wheeler, relied on professional
liars, crooks, and other underworld
characters to build UP an indictment
against Daugherty, in order to make
political capital for the democrats and
particularly for himself, when he
could have dealt sever blow to the
system which produces crooks like
Daugherty, by showing up the govern
mant departments as instruments of
class rule used by those who own the
country against the workers.
Roxie Denies Allegation.
Means would have it believed that
the testimony of. other witnesses, in
Guiding Roxie Stinson, divorced wife
of Daugherty's former confidant, Jess
Smith, was put in the mouths of
these witnesses by Senator Wheeler,
primarily to confound and discredit
the department of justice and the adj
ministration."
However, Miss Stinson, when in
formed of the reputation by Means,
branded as ridiculous" the reference
to her testimony.
She said none of her testimony was
obtained under coercion and that she
was not forced to go to Washington
to appear before the committee.
Daugherty Upbraids Davis.
Former attorney general, Daugh-
erty, who addressed his statement to
John w. Davis, democratic nominee,
upbraided him for attacks on the de-
partment under Daugherty on charges
without making thoro investigation
of their truth"
Means told newspaper men who
questioned him about the new state.
ment to Daugherty that in his "busi-
ness" it was necessary to sign many
things, and that "the full story is yet
to come"

SPAN|ARDS IN
LOSING FIGHT
ON MOROCCANS
ImperialiSt Demands Of
Spain Rejected
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

LONDON, Sept. 22.-Dictatol
Primo de Rivera, at the head OF
the Spanish forces which are
attempting to crush the rebel
lion of the natives of Spanish
Morocco, is facing the necessity
of Withdrawing his troops from
the colony so that the Spanish
government may negotiate inn
mediate peace, dispatches from
Morocco indicate.
The terrific losses inflicted on
the Spaniards by the rebel
forces are said to be responsible
for the sudden decision of King
Alfonso's government to come
to terms with the Moors. The
Moors demand that Spain
withdraw to four posts along
the coast.
1t is generally understood that Alb
del Krim, leader of the Moorish fore
es, will not comply with the demand
of Spain that Tetuan be left to the
Spaniards or to the Sultan of Moroc-
co, whom he considers the agent Of
Spanish Imperialism. Spain has de-
manded in a preliminary conference
that the nominal sovereignty of the
sultan be preserved over the entire
territory, and that Tetuan be guaran-
teed as the sultans capital.
If the Spanish refuse the demands
of the rebels, it is understood that
Abdel Krim will continue his offensive
on the Spanish troops. The Spanish
garrison at Sheshuan has never been
relieved, in spite of the use of 100000
men with airplanes and artillery to
preserve it from attacks of the rebels.
The entire route from Tetuan to Tan
gier is occupied by the Moorish troops.
Eastern Morocco is practically lost
to Spain, and Western Morocco can
not be held for more than a few
days, the reports say.
Government circles in France are
said to be considerably worried over
developments in Morocco. The estab-
lishment of Riff republic, on the Dor
ders of the French possessions in
Africa, would endanger the security of
French dominion.

While people Of the Means-Stinson
type are able to testify to facts that
would not come to the knowledge of
more decent citizens, they, being un-
derworld types, are purchasable and
are liable to switch their stories in

Wheeler missed a great opportunity
to serve the trade union movement
when he refused to bring in the &C.
Invites Of the Burns Detective Agency
and the Daugherty injunction into the
scope of his investigation. Such a
development would undoubtedly end
in giving the detective agencies, which
fatten on agent-provocateur work in
the trade unions a blow from which
it would take them a long time to
recover.
Dicks Might Be Exposed.
But fear that a probe into the de-
tective agencies might expose many
prominent labor leaders, who like Mr..
Beattie of Pittsburg, former president
of the Central Labor Union of that
city, acted as a spy and batter of
radicals, was a factor in inducing

Means has repudiated his testimony
