LONDON HOPEFUL THAT
 STRIKE MAY BE ENDED
This Morning Citizens Were Awaiting Outcome or Negotiations started
 Last Night

Gy The Associated ;'rrs..
 London. March @S.--I.ondon and much of England today awaited with deep concern the outcome of the ne- gotiations announced by the premier last night. for settlement Of the tram and bus strike. The people built eager hopes on Mr. MacDonald's statement that both sides were de- sirous Of a settlement but confidence in the outcome was not great as there is no sign at present that either party to the dispute is likely to give way.
 Unless a settlement or some work able compromise emergcs from to- days conference the subway men and workers on the electric surface lines around London will strike al midnight and as many of London's seven mil lions habitually travel by these routes they will be walking.
 Electrical workers served an ulti- matum on the government overnight that, failing settlement of the tram way mems grievances London will be in darkness Saturday night the Daily Express states.
 Against this is another statement tha, the cutting of electric supply de- bends rather on the head engineers and supervisors than the electrical trades unionists and that the former are quite unlikely to strike merely out Of sympathy with the tramway men.
 Many citizens are volunteering their help to insure continuance Of the public services. Two organizations. the national citizens union and the British fascist have offered their services and the government claims to he able to provide many motor drivers and men to protect property and prevent violence. The fascist organization is new one. Of which the public knows little.

"Helen Maria's" Brothers Shared In
Juicy Profits Planned at Secret Confab

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-What does
Charles G. Dawes, republican candi-
date for vice president, know about
a 100000 oil profit, of which Albert
B. Fall, of Teapot Dome fame, is
alleged to have received 100000?
What does Charles G. Dawes know
about u secret conference in the Van
derbilt Hotel, New York city, IN No
vember, 1921, at which a subsidiary
of the Dawes Pure Oil Company"
got juicy contract of more than
SO 100000 barrels of oil?
What does Charles @. Dawes know
Of the Jackpot" deal at this secret
hotel meeting?
Investigation by international La
Dor News Service points strangely to
the Pure Oil Co., known as a Dawes
company, as one of the sharers in the
$2,000,000 profit or Jackpot" along
with Fall, former secretary of the
interior, charged by the government
with having conspired with Harry F.
Sinclair, oil man, to hand over to pri-
vate oil companies naval oil reserves
belonging to the nation. Moreover,
the evidence suggests that Charles G.
Dawes ("Helen Maria") was mem
Der of the "Ohio gang" of malodorous
memory, and indicates that he may
know more than he would like to tell
about Teapot Dome and the oil scan
dals that shook the country's conf
dence in the Harding Coolidge admin
istration.
Affidavits Give Details of Deal
The charge that Fall got 100000
from the $2,000,000 Jackpot" is made
by Atlee Pomerene and Owen j. Rob-
erts, special counsel representing the
government in the prosecution of the
cases involving Fall and others. In
recent affidavits filed at Toronto, the
government prosecutors set forth iT
detail the transactions by which the
$2,0O0,000 Jackpot" came into being
Briefly, the government prosecutors
charge that the $2,O0O,OOO profit was
made by the Continental Trading
Company, Ltd, of Canada, in sales o.
oil purchased from Col. E. A. Hum
] phreys, owner of the Mexia oil fielc
in Texas. The oil, the afidavit'
charge, was sold to the Sinclair Crud,
Oil Purchasing Corporation and thu
Prarie Oil and Gas Company, referred
to in the affidavits as "Sinclair Crud,
and prairie" The Continental Com
pany was apparently dummy" con
cern and had nothing to do with tn
actual sale and delivery Of the oil
All it had to do was to collect tn
profits and later divide the "swag
among various persons.

HUNGRY TOTS
Made Homeless in West
Virginia By Injunction
Writ

Charleston, w. Va-While workers
in this state are asked to vote for a
continuance of injunctions and gun
man rule by the pleaders for Coolidge
and Davis, the families of miners are
thrown on the highways, while home
less little children are hungry, shoe
less and clothed in rags Hundreds
of destitute families are living in
tents because union miners refuse to
accept "yellow dog" contracts and in
dustrial serfdom.
Many Of these families are within
few miles of the capital of the
state, says the West Virginia Fedora
ZIONIST This labor publication calls
on those who doubt this statement to
visit Cinco, Perryville and other points
on Campbell's Greek, just above this
city; Shrewsbury, Whotaker, Eskdale,
or any mining town in the Kanawha
field. Little children are denied the
privilege of attending school for the
lack of clothing, shoes and books
This condition also prevails in many
other sections of the state.
"While knowing these facts, not
another newspaper in West Virginia
has given it line of publicity Not a
public official has made an effort to
relieve the suffering of the little tots,
and not an old party candidate has
publicly denounced the infamous sys-
TEN that is responsible for its ex-
istence
Both old parties are equally guilty
of maintaining the system through
the use of public officials and injunc-
tion judges they elect and appoint for
that purpose. The same rottenness
that exists in democratic Logan coun-
ty maintains in republican Mcdowell
county, and in Kanawha, Fayette
Raleigh, Braxton, Putnam, Boone
Lincoln, Mingo, Wyoming and other
counties"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-10-31

| Evidently the Continental Company
had no responsibility in the transac-
ton, beyond negotiating it, as the oil
purchased from Humphreys was ship
ped to the purchasers, who guaranteed
The carrying out of the two contracts
made by the Continental Company
The contracts were negotiated at a
strictly private" conference of oil
men in the Vanderbilt Hotel, New
York.
Profits Set at Over $4,000 900
The government affidavits set forth
that under the terms of the contracts
Continental had no matter or thing
to perform or do" all of its agree
ments being backed by the purchas-
ers, Sinclair Crude and Prairie. The
profits came from the purchase of 49,
333, 1888 barrels of oil from Humph-
reys. The contract called for price
of S1.50 barrel The oil was to be
sold at an advance of not less than
% cents barrel The difference be-
tween the purchase price and the sale
price was to be not less than S8,333,
333,333 barrels of oil from Humph-
The affdavits assert that from jan
uary l, 1922, until May 26, 1923, more
than 8,700,000 barrels of crude oil
were delivered direct to Sinclair
Crude and Prairie and that the profit
of Continental was in excess of ST.
100000 son the mere technical pur-
chase and resale of the OIL"
The profits, it is alleged, were in
vested in the first 31a per cent Liberty
bonds of the United States. These
bonds, it is alleged, were distributed
to stockholders or to holders of "stock
warrants" as dividends.
500, 900 of Bonds in Falls Possession
The affdavits allege in this connec-
ton:
"That on or about June Is, 1922,
100000 Of said bonds certified by their
+
said Albert B. Fall, the person al
legged in this case to have conspired
with said Sinclair to defraud the
United States in the matter of SAID
lease, which said lease was executed
in the month of April, 1922"
So much for the governments
story of the S2,0O0,000 easy money
and the turning over of 100000 of il
to Fall. 1t is not amiss to point out
here that the oil purchasing public
must have absorbed" the profit il
higher prices and so paid for Cont
nental's profit. Continental, by th'
way, went out of business early thi
year, all of it's records, books ant

Chicago.-The republican national
committee is in desperate straits to
show that it has bona fide union labor
backing, and as result it has stoop-
ed to the grossest kind of fraud in
obtaining printed propaganda matter
to bolster up its waning cause.
The committees latest attempt to
convince the uniformed at distant
points from Chicago that organized
labor is for Coolidge and Dawes is
the use of a fake labor paper labeled
illinois Labor News" which is abso-
lutely without standing in this state,
1t is being operated without authority
of any legitimate organized body of
union men or women.
Fake Sheet Used in California
Paul Scharrenberg, secretary of the
California State Federation of Labor,
sent an urgent telegram to Victor A
Olander, secretary of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor, requesting
information as to the so-called "Illi-
nois Labor News" The message said:
Reprint from Illinois Labor News
eulogizing Coolidge is again being
distributed in California You prom
ised to send correct information re-
garding this sheet. Please hurry"
Secretary Olander requested that
the Chicago correspondent of Inter
national Labor News Service investi-
gate the matter This was done The
alleged editor was found at a desk
in suite of offices that has been
notorious for 16 years as the hang
out of promoters of fake schemes of
nearly every description.
