WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-"Did
the other papers in CoClorado ever
charge you with blackmail in con-
nection with this deal?" Senator
Dill of Washington asked of Fred
G. Bonfils, publisher of the Denver
Post, after Bonfls had tried in vain
for three hours to find justification
for the million dollar "settlement'
he secured from Harry Sinclair
and the sudden stopping of the
Posts attacks on the Teapot Dome
lease when that "settlement'' had
meen made.
Bon6ls airily brushed the ugly
word aside.
oh no. not at all, so far as I
am aware" he said. The crowd In
the Senate committee room. listen-
ing to his defense, grinned skepti-
calIy.
Bonfils had come forward, with .
bale OF contracts and complaints
which seemed never to have been
f1led in court, to show that his little
transaction in Teapot Dome was pure
as the Denver Post itself. He frank.
ly admitted that he had been "loval
to the common people all my life,
fghting against every kind Of wrong
and corruption, attacking predatory
wealth and serving the public good
for some 30 years at that one stand.
Senator Lenroot, who defended AL.
bert Fall during the earlier stages
of the oil scandal, and who now is
trying to defend his own political sit
uation, dug into Bonfils' past. He
showed that Bonfils once testified in
court in Kansas City, Kans., with
running a lottery. BonfIs replied
that chat was just as legitimate a
business at that time, in that city, as
banking" and counter-charged that
Lenroot was representing one Tom
O'Donnell of Colorado in this line of
questions" He claimed that O'Don-
nell had once tried to assassinate
him, Bonfils, but that Bonfils had dis
armed the man and had actually re-
Trained from killing him.
Lenroot went back to the Sim
clair squeeze, showing over and
over that the Interior Department
had disallowed the claims on which
Bonfls and his associate. J. Leo
Stack of Denver. had hoped to get
"cut" from Teapot Dome. He
read Denver Post headlines and
editorials, showing that that paper
assailed the Sinclair deal with Fall,

per ceased to thunder. Its reporter
who had gathered the story Of

mittee had to send a subpoena 10

But the publisher, at interval

him that there was "a conspiracy

whereby Sinclair got Teapot Dome,
Doheny got the California naval re-
serves, and Standard Oil got 81, ,O00,-
900 from Sinclair for its worthless
claim based on three wells in the
Teapot field. That might explain
why Doheny had backed out of his
first venture, which was the financing
of Stack in the attempt to get Tea
pot Dome or a share of the Dome
oil.
Lenroot hung to the subject of
Sinclairs giving up that million to
the publisher of the thunderous Dem
yer Post. Finally he asked whether
Sinclair had not been driven to "pur-
chase your silence" in regard to the

SINCLAIR GETTING
PERSIAN OIL, BUT
BRIBE is DENIED
John D. in Background,
Is Suspicion

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Hussein
Khan Alai, Persian minister to the
United States, tells The Federated
Press that there is no truth in the
story published in the Hearst papers,
to the effect that a bribe of 500, 900
to 100000 was received by the Per-
sian foreign minister in connection
with the Sinclair oil concession in
north Persia.
According to statement prepared
by the minister, the Sinclair deal is
still before the Persian parliament,
which meets this month to determine
whether the Sinclair bid conforms to
the oil concession law adopted last
June. Under this law, he says, it
was provided that concessions might
be given, with the consent Of parIia-
ment, for 40 to 80 years. provided a
loan of at least $40, 100000 was ar
ranged by the concessionaire thru
reputable American banks. Twenty
per cent Of the net Lroflts in any
case, and as high as 2e per cent if
the profits run beyond certain level,
viii go to the Persian government.
1t seems that. Standard Oil was
about to get the concession for ex-
ploitation of oil in the five northern
provinces Of Persia, in November,
1921, when the Anglo Persian Oil
Co., controlled by the British govern
ment, blocked the agreement. It
claimed rights under previous con-
cession, which had been cancelled on
the ground that none Of the condi-
tions had been performed by the
company. But the Anglo-P Persian,
according to Hussein Khan Alai, was
able to force the Standard Oil to give
it half interest in the deal The
Persians refused to accent the Brit
ish partnerships, and in the summer
Of 1922 entered into discussions with
Sinclair's agent who had reached
Teheran.
Standard Oil then made a bid. on
an all-American basis, but the Per-
sian government favored a wholly in
dependent concern, and enacted the
new law in order that everything
should be open for competition.
Standard was asked, along with Sin
clair, to bid under the new law, but
failed to do so.
This is Persia's official version Of
the deal on which, Sinclair is under
stood to be stalking his fortune in
Asia. The failure Of the Standard Oil
to bid against Sinclair excites no
surprise in Washington, where they
are commonly understood to be in
agreement If not in formal alliance.
Anglo Persian Oil is kicked out of
Persia, but comes back as a silent
partner of Standard Oil. This COM
bination is kicked out, and Standard
steps aside from independent bidding
to give the ''truly American" Sinclair
concern the field. No one need be
surprised if. when the deal is con-
summated, Sinclair viii confess that
Standard Oil is to share the venture
with him.

ers of the railroads. He said the
history Of the railroads could be di-
vided into three periods, those of
gifts, graft and guarantee" We
were now in the period in which the
railroads were trying to secure a
governmental guarantee of interests

of this country in the form Of the

roads Of the country.

PENNSY SLAPPED
GENTLY ON WRIST
BY LABOR BOARD
Mildly Reproved for
Company Unionism
By LELAND OLDS.

Federated Press Industrial Editor
Forcible domination and control of
the election of employee representa-
tives is the condemnation passed
upon the Pennsylvania railroad by
the u. S. railroad labor board in a
case presented by the Order of Rail-
road TeIegraphers. According to
the board the carrier by absolute COM
pulsion prevented the telegraphers
from exercising their right to select
their organization to represent them
in negotiations. This adds one more
to the long list of uninforcible deci-
sions condemning the Pennsylvania
for violation of the Transportation
act.
''The statute says the board,
never contemplated such an absurd
ity as the carrier naming the repre-
sentatives of the employees who were
to sit on the opposite side of the
bargaining table from the manage
ment, neither did it contemplate that
this anomalous situation might be eff
fectuated by indirect methods which
would permit the carrier forcibly to
dominate and control the election Of
representatives of the employees"
Rebukes Tyrannical Rule.
The boards brief description of
the lawless action of this leading
anti-union corporation is probably the
only service which such decisions
render. 1t says:
"The carrier assumed charge and
control of the employees election, for
mulated the ballot and the accom-
panying instructions over the protest
of the employees Representatives and
proceeded to hold the election in ac-
cordance with its own arbitrary pol
icy. The employees were left no
choice but to participate in the cleo
ton and forego their right to vote
for their organization. They knew
that if they wrote the name of their
own organization on the balltEs they
would be thrown out by the carrier
and not counted and that rump
comittee would be set up by the car
rier to represent the employees, altho
such a committee may have received
but a small fraction of the eligible
vote. This was what happened to
the shop crafts under identical con-
ditions when approximately 10 per
cent of the eligible to vote was per-
mitted to name the representatives
Of the shopmen by throwing out the
ballots Of all who voted for the Fed
Grated Shopcrafts."
Demoralize Paternalism.
This government appraisal Of the
Pennsylvania boasted representa-
tion system shows that It is nothing
more than the most dcmoralizing sort
Of paternalism. There is nothing Of
industrial democracy and nothing Of
real protection for the employees con-
tanned in II.
The board says that a protest of
such a grave character affecting the
rights Of such large number Of en-
ployes cannot be strangled by tech
nicality and proceeds TO order the
carrier to cancel it's notice Of an
illegal election and prepare TO CO.
operate in an election by secret bal
lot in accord with previous decisions.
But with the backing of the courts
the Pennsylvania will undoubtedly
pay little attention to this body
which appears TO be given teeth only
when enforcement against employees
Is In order.
