DILL HOT AFTER
 ROOSEVELT SCALP
 WITH THE OTHERS
Senator Demands He Follow Fall, Denby and lDaugherty "On
 Way Out"

By International Labor News Service. l. Washington, D. C., April 12.-With
 Fall, Denby and Daugherty out, Col
 Theodore Roosevelt, assitant secretary of the Navy, is next up as target for
 Senate action. Senator C C. Dill, of Washington, is this week proposing to demand action on his resolution call
 ing for Roosevelt's resignation.
 Dill, in public address has con- densed his entire condemnation of
 Roosevelt and set forth the grounds upon which he believes Roosevelt
 ought to follow in the footsteps of the three ex-cabinet members.
 "The record shows" Dill said, that MT. Roosevelt was formerly member of the Sinclair Oil company and his wife owned a considerable block of stock in that company. It shows that after the war, in August, 1919, he in duced Sinclair to appoint his brother Archie to a good position in the Sin clair Oil company at salary of $5,O00 per year. On February 1, 1920, the salary was raised $1,0O0. On May 1, 1921, two months after Theodore Roosevelt became assistant secreary, Archies salary was raised $4,000, mak- ing the total $1OOO0 per year. That wal just 30 days before Theodore car ried the executive order to the White House for the President to sign, which transferred the oil lands from Denby to Fall. On July 1, 1922, three months after the signing of the lease on Tea pot Dome, Sinclair raised Archie's sal ary $5,O00 more, or making the total salary $15,OOO per year."
 Dill further declared that Sinclair hired Archie Roosevelt and kept him, 'because Theodore asked him to hire him and he was under obligations later for the assistance Theodore had given him getting the Teapot Dome lease from Fall. For remember 1t was Theodore Roosevelt, the acting secre- tary of the navy who, while Mr.. Den by was away, ordered the marines to Wyoming to drive all oil claimants off the Teapot Dome for Sinclair, to whom the government had made the lease more than three months previously That was July 2o, 1922, just % days after Sinclair had given Archie the $5,000 raise in salary from $10,000 to $1o,oOO per year.
 "I am not dealing in gossip or ru- mors. I am giving you the facts from
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-04-12

the records, and the records show that Mir Roosevelt is more deeply involved in these oil lease scandaR than MT. Denby ever was, yet MT. Coolidge, this calm, cool-headed President, whom you are told can be relied upon to act in the peoples interest and punish ev cry guilty party, keeps Theodore Roosevelt in office"
