BRITISH UNDERSEA CRAFT GOES
DOWN NEAR ENGLISH
CHANNEL
ALL ON BOARD LOST
FORTY-THREE MEMBERS OF THE
CREW TRAPPED AT BOT
TOM OF SEA

Weymouth, England.-The British
submarine L-24 was sent TO the bottom
of the sea by the dreadnought Reso-
luton, with which she was in COLI
sion. the disaster, which occurred off
Portland, was similar to one which
happened two years ago when the K-5
was sunk.
So far as known all on board the
L-24, numbering forty-three, perished.
Details are somewhat meager, but
1t seems that the Atlantic fleet was
leaving Weymouth in various groups,
including several submarines, for the
spring cruise, when the Resolution,
belonging to the Royal Sovereign class
rammed the L-24, which was a mine
laying vessel, and had fourteen live
mines aboard The accident occurred
in fog, when the vessels had opened
out in the channel.
Another report says that the COLI
sion occurred when a combined attack
on the fleet was being carried by sub
marines from Portland, Portsmouth
and Plymouth. The L-24 sank imme-
diately, and although salvage vessels
hurried to the spit and the whole area
was searched by the mine-sweeping
flotilla, no trace of the illfated vessel
was found.
After the disaster the Resolution re-
turned to Portland harbor, where she
will be examined by divers at day
break.
This was not the only accident, for
the submarines K-2 and K-12 also col
lideq near the same place, both be-
ing slightly damaged.
The admiralty has issued a list of
the names of those aboard the L-24,
which, unfortunately, carried a much
larger crew than customary, many ex-
ira men being aboard for training
purposes. The king has telegraphed
q message of coincidence and SYM
pathy for the relatives of the crew.
Weymouth, England.-The collision
which sent the submarine L-24 to the
bottom occurred on the departure of
the Atlantic fleet from Portland, while
the fleet was maneuvering in the
channel. All available salvage vessels
were sent to the spot
1t was said here that the crew of
the L-24 probably exceeded thirty in
number, because there were special
men on board for training. A similar
tragedy occurred on the departure of
the fleet from Weymouth three years
ago, when the submarine K-5 was
lost.

Parls.-No party can boast of vic
tory in the senatorial election, the
complexion of the Senate virtually be-

election of NJ Poincare for the Meuse
gave evidence of the high personal
prestige which the premier enjoys
among his countrymcn

TOTS MADE HOME;l .EE,SSSS GEORGIA IILITERACY
 BY INJUNCTION WRIT REACHES HIGH FIGURE

Charleston, w. Va, Oct. 25.-While for continuance of injunctions and gun man rule by the p1eaders for Cool idge and Dawes, the families of miners are thrown on the highways, while homeless little children are hungry, shoeless and clothed in rags Hun dreds of destitute families are living in tents because union miners refuse to accept yellow dog" contracts and industrial serfdom
 Many of these families are within a few miles of the capital of the state, says the West Virginia Federationist This labor publication calls on those who doubt this statement to visit Cinco, Ferryville and other points on Campbells Creek, just above this city Shrewsbury, Whitaker 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 an other newspaper in West Virginia has given 1t 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- tenn 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- ton judges they elect and appoint for that purpose. The same rottenness that exists i'll Democratic Logan coun- ty maintains in Republican Mcdowell county, and i'll Kanawha, Fayette, Raleigh, Braxton, Putnam, Boone, Lincoln, Mingo, Wyoming and other counties"

Law Shot to Pieces Un- der Fall-WOrks Ad- nninistratiOn Con- servation Policy Car ried Out on Stretcher, Dead.

By International Labor News Service,
 Washington, D. C., Oct 25.-Under the Fall-Wor<s administration of the Department of the Interior, extending through both the Harding and Coolidge administrations, fifteen million acres of oil lands have been handed over to the great oil combinations.
 This has been done under forms of leases that in spirit and in fact violate the Federal oil leasing act
 And most astounding of all IS the off cially admitted fact that
 There are no known government oil Hands left under government ownership
 International Labor News Service, af- ter long and patient inquiry, has estab lished that fact
 Oil leasing has gone on under the ad ministration of Secretary Works, as it went on under Secretary Fall Secre tary Works was in office year before the oil scandal broke in Congress, and during that time the policy established by Fall was continued. And nothing has happened since to alter that policy in any substantial and effective manner
 The result is that the United States government has lbeen completely strip ped of its oil resources, so far as known and proven reserves are concerned
 It is testified to by First Assistant Secretary Finney, in the Department of | f1a Vafa oil lands that can be set aside as re- serves, Private corporations have got everything. \,.
 This fact overshadows everything brought out in the Walsh oil investiga- | ton.
 The greater share of the leases un- der which Americas enormous oil re- serves and other oil lands have been leased away-almost given away-were made under the administration of Dr. Works as Secretary of the Interior and consequently under the administration of President Coolidge.
 When President Coolidge took office he declared that thereafter all oil leases would pass through his office and that his office would Be jointly responsible with the office of the Secretary of the Interior for all oil leases and, for all oil policies.
 When the Oil Leasing Act was passed by Congress in, 1920 it was filled with provisions calculated to prevent monop- oly control of oil lands if they should ever be leased. Men like La Toilette, the late Senator Husting, of Wisconsin; Senator Walsh of Montana, Walsh of Massachusetts, Norris of Nebraska, and Kenyon of Iowa, did everything possible to make that Act air-tight.

'Drys" Seeking Despotic Rule,
 Chemists Say

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 25-"Pro- hibition fanatics" have utterly disre- garded the rights of the industries and have sought to place both prohibition enforcement and control of industrial alcohol in the hands of a despot re- sponsible only to an authority like the Anti Saloon League, it is declared in statement by Martin H. Ittner, chair man of the Committee on Industrial Alcohol, American Chemical Society.
 Societies fostering proposed prohi- bition legislation are guided, according to MT. Ittner, by counsel, who is pro- vided with a fat salary and the faci1- ities of a large expense account and who is so shrewd that he would make a politician of more than average ex- perience look like a tyro." The state ment adds:
 "This lawyer apparently wants to earn his salary or at least to appear to earn it .and so devotes much of his time in devising methods to put the prohibition commissioner acts outside

Teachers May Appeal
 Unjust Discharge


 Olympia, Wash, Oct. 25.-School boards in this state can not enforce yellow dog" contracts which provide for the discharge of teachers at the whim of school authorities. Attorney General Dunbar has notified the super intendent of public instruction that the law provides a teacher can be dis charged only for cause.
 The attorney general ruled that be- fore a teacher can be released he or she must be given hearing, and the release must be proven. The school board can not hold that the hearing is superhuous. because the teacher waived her right to a hearing when she signed the yellow dog" contract.

BANK CLERKS FORM UNION IN
 BIG NEW YORK INSTITUTIONS l WITH EMPLOYERS COOPERATION

York Trust Company 100 Broadway, had come out not only for the principle of collective bargaining, but also for the right of their employees to organize in other than company controlled unions. In addition the Federal Reserve Bank, employing 2,16O persons also is agree able to the organization. This action, 1t was said came after more than year on the part of the American Federation of Labor to unionize bank employees. About 1,7OO office workers are em- ployed in the two banks, and MT. Bohm made the statement that in both cases assurance had been given that should

of the costrol of common legal restric- tions"
 The statement charges that the pro hibition forces are attempting to pro- cure absolute authority over the pro duction and use of alcohol in the industries and are seeking to gain this authority by the Cramton bill, which will come before the coming Congress. The "drys" are trying to have the bill passed by short cuts and without giv- ing the opposition fair opportunity to be heard, it is further charged.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-10-25

against any corporation taking more than limited and specified number of leases i'll any geologic section of oil lands, while another prohibited any cor poration from holding more than a small specified number in any state.
 Evidence now discloses that this sec ton has been violated by both the Fall and Works administrations and there is no doubt that former Attorney General Daugherty knew of these violations and had on his desk special reports on them, with details and specifications
 The richest of all known oil fields, the Salt Creek field, lying just north of the famous Teapot Dome, has gone into the hands of the Midwest Oil Company, Ia Standard Oil subsidiary. This came about largely through dummy leases in violation of the provisions of the Oil Leasing Act. The Salt Creek field, now gone to the Standard Oil family, is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
 While vast fields were leased some were given in fee simple. This was the case with the fabulously rich section 36 in California. This went to Standard Oil with a clear title and will never be recovered. Standard Oil brought. in on this section the richest gusher on the continent
 The conservation policy established under President Roosevelt, continued and defended under President Wilson and sustained by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, at times with the aid of Ma rines, has been shot to pieces and car ried out on stretcher!

Atlanta, Oct. 25.-The Georgia illit- eracy commission has started state wide campaign against illiteracy in this state. The number of men and women who can not read or write is astounding According to the last census there are 10000 whites and 100000 negroes, or a total of 270,0O0 nor write Added to this condition are hundreds of teachers who themselves have not received a grammar educa- tion, and hundreds of school rooms ill which the light of day can scarcely enter, while the textile mills destroy the lives of other children.
 Recently the Georgia legislature re- jected the federal child labor amend ment by a practically unanimous vote. These representatives of state where illiteracy is rampant declared that the amendment would destroy the paren- tai control of the child"
 Jerome Jones, editor of the Atlanta Journal of Labor, is leading the fight against illiteracy and for protection of( the child. In smashing editorials he scores the Georgia legislature, and declares that child labor and illiteracy are twin inseparable evils that blight the development of this state.
 "We can not grow iterates by simply teaching people to read and write," thunders the veteran labor edl- tor. We must give to them not only the fundamentals of an education, but the thorough grounding in educational princip1es-and this all the children of Georgia are not receiving today.
 "We must begin right if we would fight illiteracy. We must say that thls demon shall not devour the childhood of the state It is indeed laudable to obliterate it i'll the adults, but 1t IS more glorious to see that there shall be no adults in the future who shall need to be taught"

 TESTIMONY

Senator Spencer Have we oil re- serves now, that could be set aside for the Navy if the Congress should so determine?
 MT. Finney (First Assistan Secre- tary of the Interior) In addition to the ones I have mentioned, there is one in Alaska, which, of course, has not been thoroughly explored. If there IS any vacant public domain that contains oil, it could be set aside as we'll as naval reserve I take 1t, however, that on many areas of the public domain claims have been ini- tiated
 Senator Spencer. What is your general impression and recollection as to whether there are Government lands not taken up by private claim ants that might be available for ma val resources?
 MT. Finney. I do not know of any lands, unless they would be wildcat areas, because any lands that are proven probably have claims on them
 Senator Spencer. By wildcat lands" you mean lands in which the presence of oil has not been demon strated?
 MT. Finney. There might be some geological evidence of the existence of oil, but its presence not demon strated by exploration.
