DAUCHERTY IS
NEAR CUSTER
BY COOLIDGE
Crooked Attorney General Is
Called TO White House

Especial TO The Daily Workerl
WASHINGTON, March 26.
-Smarting under the cam
paign waged turnout the coun-
try, demanding the removal of
the criminal attorney general,
Harry M. Daugherty, President
Coolidge again today called the
chief cabinet white elephant
into his Office and implored him
to quit while the quitting was
good.
The DAILY WORKER in its
Monday edition pointed out
that tremendous pressure
would be brought to bear on
the president during the week
to force his hand with regard
to the attorney general.
See Washington as CesspoOI.
1t is no secret that the prominent
leaders of both democrat and repub-
lican parties fear the revolutionary
significance of the Teapot Dome
scandal, and the still worse revela-
tons that have come out of the
Daugherty investigation.
The workers and farmers now look
upon Washington as a cesspool of
corruption and on the capitalist gov
eminent as whited sepulchre Of vice.
They would fain stop the inves-
legations, but the pressure from the
masses is too great and we have
today the spectacle of a great pub
| Usher, eddie" Mclean, himself,
up to his neck in the graft ugbraid-
! ing the republican side Of the house
for not calling a halt on the entire
business.
The wise heads among the repub-
Leans believe that the removal of
Daugherty might whet the appetite
Of the democrats for campaign ma
terial and the Investigations might
be called off.
So they are making another de-
termined effort to force Coolidge to
kick the attorney general out. The
president is afraid Of Daugherty's
political power within the party.
There was an agreement between
the attorney general and the presi-
dent to give Coolidge the Ohio dele
cation in return for his friendship
during his hour of trial. But now
the other side-the Borah, Lodge
and Reed republicans-fear there
viii be no republican party to go to
the elections with unless the Ohio
CRATER is fired. The pressure on
Coolidge has increased. Thus TO-
days meeting in the White House
and the conversation with Senator
Lodge.
Hell Will Break Loose"
After the conference Daugherty
told the reporters that only routine
matters were discussed. But II
leaked out that Coolidge again i'm

good job for the republican party

French Premier Is Asked To
Form New Ministry
Especial to Tn. Daily worker


PARIS, March 26.-Ray-
mond Poincare, the 500, OOO,-
600 white hope of J. Pierpont
Morgan, was defeated in the
chamber of deputies on a vote
of confidence in his minister of
finance.
The long threatened defeat
came on the eve of the report
of Hell and Maria General
Dawes, of the PREPARATIONS com
mittee.
Poincare is one of Europe's lead
ing militarists and bitter foe Of the
Russian Soviet Republic. He took a
prominent part in the intrigues that
led up to the European war and paid
a visit to Leningrad, then st. Peters,
burg, right on the eve Of the great
struggle.
Last Word Against Germany.
Following the war he urged re-
lentless policy toward Germany and
on assuming the premiership in 1929
began urging that the vanguished
enemy be compelled TO pay to the
last mark. In 1923 he sent his
troops into the Ruhr thus creating a
situation around WHICH world politics
ragged ever since.

tween miners officials and
mine owners, the British cabi-
net met at 10 Downing Street
today to consider an impend-
ing crisis in that industry, the
third the government will have
been called upon to face in its
brief tenure of Office.
At the same time, national
miners delegate conference,
representing 100000 workers,
met.
Agreement Expires April IL.
The existing wage scale in the min
ing industry expires April II and
conferences have been under way for
some time, seeking to adjust differ
ences regarding a new scale. me
board of trade announced officially
early today that these have broken
down completely. The employers
suggest court of inquiry, which the
miners rejected unqualifedly.
Promise Minimum Wage Bill.
1t was forecast that today's dele
gate conference would recommend q
nationwide ballot of miners to as
certain whether the workers are will
ing to strike to force acceptance Of
their terms
The minister of mines will take a
hand in the controversy tomorrow
If this intervention fails there is said
to be no alternative save introduction
in Commons of minimum wage bill
for the industry, as promised by the
government.
If the House should defeat this
bill, it would. mean a debacle for
Premier MacDonald's government.

A PLEA FOR HELP

Plans are being laid by your local
community Presbyterian church for
the coming church year of 1924-lo25.
The Every Member canvas held dur
ing last March failed by consider
able amount to meet the requirements
The fact that the local church is
one of the commurity's best assets can
not be denied; all parties selling land
or making an effort to attract settlers
refer to it, and good churches and
schools are always communitys
best drawing card-in fact, they are
Indispensable.
The work of the last year has been
greatly crippled by the lack of means
to carry on the task.
1t is near tragedy that so many
hundreds Of dollars are spent for
amusement and pleasure, much of it
going out of the valley. Yet for
every dollar given for the church
two dollars are turned back into the
business of the valley. The church
is by no means liability but on the
contrary is distinct financial asset.
The environment created by the
church is the community's best pro-
lection A judicial expert the other
day estimated it cost the state $780,
600 to apprehend, try, convict and ex-
ccute criminal while the church asks
only $3.50.
No live enterprising town or ham,
let in Eastern Washington is with
out church of some faith calling men
to worship God and creating peace
and good will, honesty and sobriety.
On the other hand every commun-
ity that has failed to support it's To-
cal churches has gone into decay.
Many town in Eastern Washington
has paid this fearful price for its
lack of interest which represents God.
without whom we can do nothing.
We are at the crossroads. What
shall be done? We appeal to your
pride, your generosity, your manhood
and above all to your concern for the
coming generation.
To those who have helped in the
past, we extend our thanks and earn
estly request your continued and in
creasing interest.
The annual meeting of the congrc-
cation will be held in the church
Thursday evening, March 18th, at 7.3o.
Let every interested party be there
and become informed as to the real
situation.

WITHDRAWS PETITION TO
DISSOLVE DISTRICT

AT the meeting Of the board of
directors of the Priest Rapids
Irrigation district Tuesday even
ing M. B. Haynes withdrew his
petition for the dissolving of the
district and the first attempt to
dissolve the district passed into
history.
Mr.. Haynes had filed his petit
ton with the directors at the
February meeting. The board
adjourned the meeting for three
weeks in order to check up on
the names on the petition. A few
days before this adjourned meet
ing Mr.. Haynes wrote in, re-
questing that it be postponed to
the regular meeting on March
4th. In the meantime the direct
ors had secured from an abstract
company in Prosser list of the
names of land owners in the dis
trict. These totaled some six
hundred and presuming that half
of these owners were married and
the land community property,
there would be a total of 900 eli
gible to vote at any election i'll
The district. The law requires
that before a board Of directors
can authorize an election to dis
solve a district they must have
a petition filed for such a request
signed by at least 1918 per cent
Of those eligible to vote in the
district. The petition on file
with the board bore 109 sigma
lures or about one-ninth instead
Of one-third of the required num-
Der. The petition was further
weakened by a subsequent petit
ton bearing the names of thirty
or forty local residents asking
that their names be withdrawn
from the petition to dissolve, on
the ground that they had signed
it under a misunderstanding Of
the facts. Altho circulated but
few hours this withdrawal
petition contained the names Of
twenty residents in the vicinity
of Ranford and from the senti-
ment that has been expressed it
is safe to presume that fully
ninety per cent of the local land
owners would have withdrawn
their names to dissolve the dis
trict if they had been given an
opportunity to do so.
In the face of this sentiment
Mr.. Haynes said It looked hope
less to attempt to get the nee
essary signatures and So with
drew the petition.
In withdrawing his petition Mr.
Haynes said that he wanted to
correct a report that was more
or less current in the valley that
he was being paid by the North
ern Pacific railroad in attempting
to have the district dissolved.
He denied that the Northern Pa
cific or any other concern or per-
son was paying him for this
work; that he had started it on
his own initiative and had circu-
lated the petition in the belief
that it was for the best interest
Of the valley to have the district
dissolved.
An attempt to dissolve the Great
er Wenatchee irrigs ton district
met with the same fate as the local
attempt when the directors of that
district this week rejected the Pc
ttion because the number of sign
ers was way below the legal re.
qulrements. A later petition was
also circulated there signed by sew
eral land owners asking that their
names be withdrawn from the petit
