UNDERWOOD NOW
Definitely DRAWN
into OIL SCANDAL
Presidential Candidate
from Alabama Smeared

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. - An
other presidential candidate, Senator
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama,
was definitely involved today in the
Senate's inquiry into the oil scandal.
Underwood's name was first
brought in when the Senate Com
mittee found a telegram to f. B.
Mclean, Washington publisher. from
one Of his employees, here, stating
that A. Mitchell Palmer, former at
torney-general, was going to ask
Underwood to ''work on" Senator
Walsh, leading investigator of the
committee, to get him to refrain
from questioning Mclean about a
100000 loan to Fall.
Walsh at first denied that Under
wood had ever mentioned Mclean to
him but this morning revealed con
versation he said he had forgotten
but which Underwood reminded him
Of. Underwood in that conversation
asked Walsh whether Mclean would
be called. Walsh said the commt-
tee had authorized him to 90 to
Palm Beach to question Mclean. I'm
derwood was named again in tele-
gram to Mclean from an employee
on the Washington Post, McLaan's
paper, saying that Senators Curtis
and Lenroot had advised that I'm
derwood be seen in an effort to have
Walsh called off. In this telegram
it was added, however, that the e.
fort thru Underwood was not con-
sidered of any use.
Production Of this evidence thus
definitely putting Underwood's name
among those who were to be APP
preached in an effort to halt the oil
investigation at the very time it was
on the eve of the disclosures which
later opened up the whole scandal,
came just after the committe had
decided to question Palmer about his
part in what some committee mem
bers feel was a definite attempt to
stif1e the whole inquiry.

it had already been decided that l
would go to Palm Beach to see him."
Walsh then stated that "since Sem

ton took place, assume it did, but
l did not recall it."
The "Mr. Bennett" referred to was
not identified by Walsh. A man

Palmer Sees Committee Members.
The first few kilograms read by
Walsh, showed how Palmer had seen
members of the committee in behalf
of Mclean.
One dated Janary 8 from John
Major, personal Washington agent of
Mclean, said Palmer had notified
Lenroot that Mclean was too i'll to
come north from Palm Beach to tell
the committee about his 100000
loan to Fall. Lenroot informed
Palmer that Walsh was going south
to see Mclean.
An undated telegram to Mclean
stated:
willis saw party this morning.
Willis said party was in friendly
mood. Harry out of city. Have APP
pointment with Eyed; he expects
something. Will also see party
returned with.
"(Signed) 'Hohns.'"
The willis" in this telegram was
not further identified but committee
members said it was Senator Willis
of Ohio.
Telegram Sent to Mclean.
Following is a quotation from a
telegram sent to Mclean by Ira Ben
nett of the Washington Post:
"Lenroot and l saw Curtis and he
advises US to see Underwood. Curtis
promised to see Underwood. He said
Underwood promised to see Walsh
but stated he did not think it would

Another from Bennett said:
"Walsh is looking for an excuse
to make trouble"

A telegram from Mclean to Major
December 26 was read:
"See Lambert and tell him to see

of any conceivable use. Keep ell my
wires in your possession"
Walsh read telegram in which
Mclean advised Palmer he had loan
ed Fall 100000 and "knew nothing
even remotely that could be con-
nected with the oil inquiry.

committee at that time by Palmer.

Republicans Split
Three Ways on Tax
Rates on Incomes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Pas-
sage of the tax bill by the house
with the democratic income tax
rates was virtually assured today as
a three way split appeared in re-
publican ranks.
Efforts by republican leaders to
get compromise with the progress
sives as final action on the bill
approaches were given a setback
when a movement was started
among supporters of the Mellon
plan to vote against all but the orig
inal treasury bill.
While republican Leader Long
worth said he did not yet know the
full strength of the movement, it
was said to be formidable enough
to insure the defeat of Longworth's
compromise even if some of the
progressives Joined with the admin
istration forces.
Longworth's plan for a fiat %
per cent cut all along the line will
be presented to the house today. AS
drafted by Representative Mills. of
New York, it provides for a 3713
per cent maximum surtax, two
per cent normal tax on incomes up
to $4,000 and six per cent above
$4,000.

Monthly Meeting Best
of Series

Pretending democracy and deep
interest in the welfare of the rank
and file. the officialdom Of the
United Mine Workers had to expose
themselves as using the bosses
methods at the miners convention"
was the statement of William F.
Dunno at the Trade Union Educa-
tional Union monthly meeting at
Northwest Hall-the most success
full held in months.
"This exposure of the Lewis ma
chine" he continued, twas forced by
the splendid showing of the mill
tants. inexperienced in the first
days of the convention, when the
Lewis machine jammed thru most
of the important measures, the mill
tarists gathered in strength. coming
out of the convention ten times
stronger than when they went in.
"That the machine of Lewis does
not represent the membership, their
wishes or policies" he continued,
twas visible by the fact that they
had to call in the police and the
payroll brigade to save themselves"
He predicted that at the next
convention of the United Mine
Workers, "the machine will have Ae
time of its life--as It will at the
coming Illinois convention"
Phil Aronberg, a delegate from
the National Needle Trades Confer
ence. preceded Dunno with re-ort
on the progress Of the progressives
in the needle industry. an Phila-
delphia, Cleveland and now in Chi
cago, the organizations in this in
dustry are forced" he reported, ITO
depend almost entirely on the mill
tants. some of whom were even ex-
PEELED members Of their unions"
"The first convention Of this con-
ference held a year ago." he said,
considered only policies to be laid
down. At the second there was no
doubt that these were correct. The
only discussion was on the prob
lens confronting them"
Earl Browder, editor Of the Labor
Herald, concluded with an outline
Of the labor situation in Great Brit
ain.
"The loss Of over two millions In
membership In two years was due to
policy Of inaction on the part Of
the leadership now in control Of the
government" he said. "These poll
cies have brought on the dock and
railroad strikes which were won de-
spite the leadership. The textile and
mine workers threaten to rock the
country with coming strikes and
there is promise Of new lineup
Of labor In Great Britsin-with
growing power Of the miiitants."
