Importance of Teapot Dome.
Of course, it would be a great ex-
aggeration of the political signifi-
canoe of the Teapot Dome scandal to
claim that all this was caused by the
Teapot Dome scandal. The Teapot
Dome scandal plays a big role in
sharpening all conflicts of the various
political groups and classes. But we
should not forget that only the un-
heard of sharpening of the class
struggle in the last years has made
the Teapot Dome scandal so signifi-
cant. Teapot Dome has not pro
duced the dissatisfaction Of the
worker and farmer masses, but on
the contrary, it is the deep dissatis-
faction of the masses which makes
them so receptive to the lessons Of
the Teapot Dome.
In the 1920 November elections
the Republican Party, the party Of
Wall Street and the steel trust was
victorious by a seven million ma
jority. The non-capitalist classes
who at that time were dissatisfied
with the Democratic Party on ac-
count of the war, still had complete
confidence in the Republican Party
at that time. In the 1922 November
elections this Republican majority
disappears. The Republicans were
woefully beaten, but 1t was not the
Democrats who were the victorA A

might stand a better chance of get
ting the Senate's approval. Our chief
Executive then chose the Lame Duck
Elk. Senator Pomerene and the rela-
lively unknown Mr.. Owen ]. Roberts
of Philadelphia. These corporation
tools have been accepted by the SEN
ate, despite the opposition of the pro-
gressive group and few stray Sem
ators.
The Case of Mr.. Pomerene
An examination of the services
rendered by Mr.. Pomerene to the big
business interests, while he was a
Senator and after he was kicked out
of the Senate in 1922, reveals the ir-
REPUTABLE fact that it is Mr.. Cool
idge's intent to make a hollow mock
cry out Of the oil prosecution.
AS a member of the Senate, he
was opposed to striking out from the
Esch- Cummins Law the provision
making strikes unlawful. Mr.. Pome-
rene voted against extending the
Federal control of railroads for two
years. He accepted the conference
report Of the Esch-Cummins Act con-
tanning Objectionable anti b or
clauses and other obnoxious proYi-
sions.
When Mr.. Pomerene was defeat
ed in the election for Senator from
Ohio, he was Immediately rewarded
by the railroad corporations he so
loyalty served in the capital. Today
Mr.. Pomerene is one of the biggest
railroad attorneys in the country.
His firm is one of the strongest cor
porations in Ohio. According to his
own statements before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, his firm is
the representative of fifteen of the
biggest railroads in the country. One
Of these is the Pennsylvania Railroad
which is an Incorporating enemy
of organized labor.
Mr.. Pomerene is also on the pay
roll of the National Transportation
Institute, which is a propaganda or
ganization in favor of the united
railway capitalists. Mr.. Pomerene has
admitted that he has been, for some
time, on the platform of this organ
ization and has been paid as high as
81 900 for a few speeches delivered
by him in behalf of the railroad in
terests. Mr.. Pomerene's connections
with the railroads go back to the
years before he was in the Senate.
He tried several cases for the Penn
sylvania system before he was sent
to Washington.
Mr.. Pomerene is an enemy Of the
farmers, as well as of the workers.
At one time he appeared before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and denounced the farmers of the
Northwest for protesting against
their hardships. Mr.. gPomerene, in a
fit Of rage against the complaints of
the farmers, yelled atfseveral Of their
spokesman, who appeared before the
Commission: "You sinners up in the
Northwest.

addition to being the government

prosecutor" in the oil steal, is also
attorney for a railway company in
Cleveland that is trying to secure
money from the municipal govern
ment to the extent of about half a
million dollars.
Roberts Just As Bad
In his appointment Of the other
so-called prosecutor, Mr.. Coolidge
pursued precisely the same policy
the policy of putting the case against
despoilers of the country's resources
in the hands Of individuals who
could be counted on doing everything
in the behalf of the guilty and moth
ing for the country.
One of the advantages attached to
Mr.. Roberts nomination by Coolidge
is his being comparative nonentity.
Mr.. Roberts record of service to the
corporate interests is not well-known
amongst the masses and therefore
the Senate safely approved him as
a prosecutor without raising storm
of protest.
But Mr.. Roberts has very positive
ly shown himself to be an agent OF
the big railway and oil interests. On
February 18th, 1928, this PhiIadel-
phia lawyer addressed the Trust
Company Division of the American
Bankers Association and denounced
the LaFollette investigation of the oil
industry. We reproduce in part Mr..
Roberts speech before this body of
financial wizards, as reported by the
New York Times of February 18th,
1928, to establish the character of
this newly anointed savior of our oil
reserves:

DRESIDENT Coolidge's whole pro-
cedure in the oil scandal betrays
a definite plan on his part to do ev-
erything he possibly can do to save
the Falls, Sinclairs, and Dohenys,
without breaking his own political
neck.
His choice of oil prosecutors shows
this very Gle arly. Practically
every man selected by the President
to prosecute the oil thieves in behalf
of the government has had his record
dipped in oil, directly or indirectly,
in some form or other.
First of all, Mr.. Gregory was chos-
en-. A few days after this choice was
made by the White House, the SEN
ate Committee on Public Lands
learned officially that Mr.. Gregory
was smeared with oil from head to
foot. No one, of course, took Cool
idge's claims Of ignorance about Mr..
Gregory's connections with oil cor
porations seriously.
Corporation Lawyer Strawn.
Then the lie was again given to
our Puritanic Presidents confessions
of innocence and purity. Another one
Of his chosen defenders of the coun-
try's wealth against the capitalist
hooters was a certain Mr.. Silas H.
Strawn, a corporation lawyer of
Chicago. No sooner had his name
been announced to the press than
Mr.. Melvin A. Traylor, President of
the First Trust and Savings Bank Of
Chicago, gave the Public Lands Com
mittee information which immediate
ly disqualified Mr.. Strawn. Mr.. Tray
Tor acted in this fashion in order to
save the President and his reaction
airy outfit the serious embarrassments
and great difficulties which would
confront them when the truth about
Mr.. Strawn would become known af-
ter he had begun work in the legal
proceedings against the Teapot
leases.
Mr.. Traylor said in part: "That his
bank was trustee under a debenture
agreement securing an issue of Sc
curities of the Sinclair Crude Oil
Purchasing Company, which is owned
one-half each, by the Standard Oil
and Sinclair Companies" He went
on to show that this bank was con-
nected with the Sinclair Pipe Lines
Co., owned jointly by the Standard
and Sinclair Companies and builders
of the pipe line to the Teapot Dome (;
and that the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana, chad for many years de-
posted funds in the First National
Bank of Chicago"
Mr.. Strawn, the Coolidge appoint
tee, was found to be a director and
stakeholder Of the First National
Bank and the First Trust and Savings
Bank of Chicago. This was the last
nail driven into the coffin bearing Mr..
Coolidge's pretense at any attempt
to punish the Teapot magnates.
Having lost out in his choice of
these two prosecutors, Mr.. Coolidge
proceeded to secure lawyers who

operation, and assaulted government
generally for absorbing too much
control over everything"
Everywhere you turn judicial

missioners investigating bodies, in
spectors of every known variety are
found. The result is that the bust
ness man in America today feels that
he Is doing business with a minion
OF government looking over his
shoulder with an appraised arm and
a threatening scowl."
Obviously Mr.. Roberts will con-
Germ himself much more with the
safety of the salaries and the inter
ests of the oil presidents than with
the restoration of the stolen Teapot
Dome area. AS an opponent Of gov
eminent Interference" in business.
as disciple of the doctrine that the
government ought to aid and abet
the capitalist leaders in their exploit
alton of the natural resources Of the
country for their own private pro-
fits, Mr.. Roberts can be counted on
doing his level best to save Fail.

from the penitentiary. OF course,
as a lawyer for huge Pennsylvania
corporations, Mr.. Roberts will hide
behind the most abstruse technieali-
ties Of the law and thus attempt to
give an appearance Of acting within
the provisions of the constitution.
Coolidge Guards Oil Thieves
Every step that Mr.. Coolidge has
taken in the present oil investigation
has been a step in the direction Of
securing maximum protection to ev-
cry individual that is in any way at
all connected with the Teapot leases.
Mr.. Coolidge presided over the Sem
ate when LaFollette introduced his
first resolution for an investigation
of the Sinclair deals. Mr.. Coolidge
participated in Cabinet sessions while
Fall, DENLY and Daugherty were per-
petrating this great steal. Mr.. Cool
idge was in communication with Nc
Lean during the investigation.
After the Teapot explosion, Mr..
Coolidge picked arch reactionaries,
experienced corporation lawyers who
had been serving the biggest capital
list interests for years as the champ
ions of the government IN what we
are asked to believe is to be q gen.
uine effort to restore the stolen
wealth to the country.
Mr.. Coolidge is acting IN his true
role as the chief executive of gov
eminent whose dominant objective b
the perpetustion Of the conditions
making for Teapot leases, making for
the loss of all our natural resources.
Mr.. Coolidge, the friend Of Mclean,
Mr.. Coolidge, the president whose
private detectives, ushers and tele-
graphers have been at the disposal
of those most guilty in the entire
affair, is today the man in whom the
capitalist class has put its faith and
hope Of leading them out Of the
troublesome mess in which they find
themselves at this moment.

from confinement to local and re-
gional issues, because it helped to
make it nationwide, because it focus
ed it against the government.
We should not exaggerate the sig
niicance of Teapot Dome; bat we
must see clearly it's tremendous rev.
dictionary significance.
Teapot Dome has strengthened to
la hitherto unheard of degree the dis
|illusionment of our masses with our
governmental system.
Teapot Dome has enlightened mil
lions on the capitalist essence Of our
democracy. :
Teapot Dome has drawn into poll
teal life millions of workers and
farmers who until now have kept at
distance.
Teapot Dome gave a tremendous
impetus to the Farmer-Labor Party
movement as well as to the Third
Party movement.
Communist Mass Party.
Teapot Dome has for the first time
made it possible for the slogan of
the Workers Party of a workers and
farmers government to become q
real demand not only of the van
guard of the revolution, but Of the
great laboring masses Of factories
and farms.
And finally, in view of the big
structural changes of our society, and
the present economic depression and
approaching economic crisis, Teapot
Dome justifes Zinoviev's well-found-
ed revolutionary optimism about the
prospects for a Communist mass
party in the United States in the
near future.

WILDCATS WILL MEET MADOR,YlI

The Jefferson Wildcats meet Me Adory High on the formers home ground Friday afternoon in their first contest of the season. The Wildcat tribe is rapidly developing into form under the coaching of DeYampert, as- sisted by A. D. Ingram.
 At a meeting of the athletic coun- cil Thursday morning Sterling Mayhew, formerly of Jefferson, later of Ensley, now back at Jefferson was elected man. ager of the football squad for this sea- son. Mayhew has had quite bit of experience in high school football and, although declared eneligible to partic- ipate in the games for this season, should make a good manager.
 Coach DeYampert has had from twenty to twenty-five men reporting each afternoon for several days and out of this bunch he is expecting to develop a good team. Captain Barton seems assured of one of the end positions and much is expected of his trusty toe this season.
