NAL Dauahterty.

WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
O., May S.-Attorney for Nal Daugh-
erty, president of the Midland Ma
tional Bank and brother of the for
mer attorney general, indicated that
they will institute proceedings to pre-
vent Daugherty from being taken to
Washington.
The time set for Daugherty's arrest,
ordered by the United States Senate
because he refused to testify before
the committee investigating the de-
partment of justice, was fixed for
noon but in the meantime John Nc
Grain, deputy sergeant-at-arms, sent
here to arrest him, wired Washington
for further instructions.

C. OF. FILIBUSTER
MAY SAVE RAIL
| ABB OR B GARD

WASHINGTON May S.-Republic-
an obstruction of the Barley bill
abolishing the railroad labor board
which kept the house in session by
filibustering until last midnight, has
threatened to reopen the rules revis-
ion fight.
When Representative Barley at
tempted to bring up the bill again to-
day, points of order were raised that
it could not again be considered until
Monday, May 10, the next day for
considering bills under suspension of
the rules.
May Change Rules.
In the argument over the rules,
Representative Nelson, Wisconsin
progressive republican leader and
Representative Moore, Virginia, demo
crat, served notice that if the new
supposedly liberal discharge rule be-
came a vehicle for unexpected post
ponement of the very bills 1t was
drafted to assist, the rules should
again be revised.
Further consideration by the house
of the bill was finally postponed for
two weeks by ruling of Speaker Gil
lett who sustained those who contend
ed that it could not be considered
again until Monday, May 10. Its de-
feat, therefore, in spite of the major
ity in its favor, was seen today as a
probable result of the filibuster and
the speakers ruling.

PROBE COOLIDGE
SALE OF MUSCLE
SHOALS TOFORD
Famous Telegram Viii
Be Unearthed
tspecIaI to The Daily WORKED

WASHINGTON, May 8. = Senator
Norris will complete his fight this
week before the Senate Agriculture
Committee against the Ford offer for
Muscle Shoals.
The Norris fight now revolves main
ly around two witnesses-James Mar
tin Miller, former employe Of Ford's
Dearborn Independent" and w. G..
Waldo, engineer and Secretary of the
Tennessee Improvement Association.
Supplied with what he claims to be
documentary evidence" Miller will
appear early this week, and give
facts of interest to all parties concern
ed" regarding the telegram in which
he quoted President Coolidge as say
ing he was trying to deliver Muscle
Shoals to Ford. Miller also expects
to refute testimony by E. G. Liebold,
Ford's secretary, that little attention
was paid to information he sent to o.
Liebold and w. G. Cameron, another
employee of the Independent.
Meanwhile the Union Carbide Com
pany. New York, submitted another
bid to the Secretary Of War for
Muscle Shoals, offering to take over
the entire properties for fifty years
with a return to the government of

government. It seemed to grieve this
expert to find that workers resent the
iron heel of the coal and steel barons
and band themselves together to de-
fend their right to organize.
Says "Reds" only Mourned Lenin.
The Lenin memorial meetings. held
under the auspices of the Workers
Party turnout the United States,
came in for severe denunciation, and
the expert for the prosecution assert
ed that so or more large mass meet
ings were held by the party in honor
of Lenin. Upon cross-examination,
Lennon admitted that he had no way
Of knowing whether or not other than
Reds" mourned the death Of Lenin,
but he was positive" that no Method
lists or Catholics held memorial meet
ings. His expert mind could not
conceive of any one outside of the
Workers Party honoring the memory
Of N. Lenin.
Masses of alleged Communist litera-
ture confiscated by the police dur
ing the raids in Farrell, and literature
possessed by Lennon, was piled up on
the prosecutors desk. The expert"
stumbled around this mass of litera-
ture and fondled it as mother cat
would her kittens.
Judge McLaughry, by request Of the
defense, ruled that the Blankenstein
case has nothing to do with the case
now before the court. Time and time
again Captain Myers, prosecutor for
the commonwealth, attempted to use
the rulings made by the court in the
Blankenstein case to build up the
prosecution in this case, and the de-
Tense scored victory by the courts
ruling.
Farmers Hear Party Program.
The defense opened it's case Tues
day afternoon by reading to the court
and jury the program of the Work
ers Party-the program that the
prosecution would not produce. The
jury paid rapt attention to every word
uttered, and some of the exploited
farmers on the jury looked hard and
long at the programs furnished them
by the defense to be read.
Character witnesses for the de-
tense testified that they have known
Tony Kovacovich, steel worker, for
the past five or ten years, and that
they have found him to be an honest,
Woodworking young man of excellent
character.
AS the trial progresses it becomes
more apparent that the Workers
Party of America is the defendant,
and that the steel and coal barons are
determined to drive the party out Of
existence and Jail its leaders. Petty
fiunkies of the coal and steel barons
flock in and out of the courtroom.
Judge McLaughry excused the jur-
ors until Thursday on account of the
necessity of holding naturalization
court. The defense expects that the
first case will be completed by Friday.

BESSARABIA is
/ SHOWING SIGNS
OF GOING SOVIET
Roumania Seeking To
Hold Versailles Loot
Especial to The Daily worker)

VIENNA, May S-Reports from
along the Dniester River would indi-
cate that the workers and farmers Of
Bessarabia may break with Roumania
and declare for a workers and farm
ers' government under the Union Of
Soviet Republics.
That the Russians will not permit
the Roumanian tools of the Versailles
Peace to drown this aspiration in
blood is seen from the fact that con-
siderable sections Of the Russian Red
Army are concentrating on the affect
ed borders.
Communists outIawed.
The Communist movement has
been outlawed in Roumania and
Bessarabia. But the sentiment of the
workers and farmers was seen in the
recent elections, when large numbers
of ballots were turned in simply
marked, For a Workers and Farm
ers' Government"
The Roumanian political police
raided the underground Communist
headquarters recently and confiscated
the official party organ, "Lupta Com
munista." The printers Of the coun-
try have been warned not to get out
any Communist literature under
threat of court martial.
1t is declared that the Roumanian
dictatorship is denuding the Bulgar-
ian, Jugo-Slav and Hungarian from
tiers of troops, in order to mass them
for the holding of Bessarabia, turned
over to her by the French under the
Versailles peace. There is strict
censorship imposed on all news COM
ing out of Bucharest, the Roumanian
capital.
Conflict Would Spread.
Under Roumania's treaties with
France and the Little Entente, it
might bring these nations into the
conflict, if it is started.
The city population Of Bessarabia
is exclusively Russian, while the Mol
dovanian rural population considers
itself as having no interests to iden-
tify it with Roumania. There has
been a migration out Of Bessarabia
and Roumania into Soviet Russia, but
none in the opposite direction as in
the days of the car.
ODESSA Refugees who escaped
from Bessarabia, tell of the great I'M
rest and fear among the rich landown-
ers of Bessarabia. Many are selling
out their properties and are moving
into the interior of Roumania. There
is a general belief among the popula-
ton of Bessarabia that the territory
will soon be liberated.

the assistance of two Brooklyn

HIGH SPOTS IN PROBE
OF NAVAL OIL LEASES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S:-
While the oil committee was un-
covering several new elements
of mystery In the affairs of Ed
ward B. Mclean, a groundwork
was laid in the senate today for
a further excursion into the
operations OF Il. l.. Doheny,
Harry f. Sinclair, and others.
The committee listened to the
reading of another batch of tele-
grams exchanged between Nc
Lean in Florida and his employ

to summon before IL A. Mitchell

eral under Wilson and who act
cd for Mclean In the oil inquiry.
