the purpose of the club to provide
for the general athletic neds of the
community-not merely to develop
winning teams.
1t is a fine thing for community
to put out champion basketball
team. But that will not take the
place of the physical development
OF the people in general who do not
belong to team. To get the aver
age man of town interested in some
form of athletics as means of re-
creation for himself will do him
a chance, as spectator, to cheer the
greatest team.

Senate Probe Sinks Deeper Into PutrId Mess
VANDERBILT TELLS A
LOT OF POLITICIANS
THEIR RIGHT NAMES

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.--In Frank
A. Yanderlip's speech, as published
here today, the financier's utter
ances constituted the climax of an
impassiOned plea for a general
house cleaning by President
Coolidge in Washington.
"TAle last administration" he
said, Stands challenged. We can
not wait for Congress or the courts,
especially when we remember that
Mr.. Daugherty is attorney general.
Lack of courage and leadership is
the underlying evil in American life
today. Coolidge has a great Op-
pCrtunity, but he neefs sufficient
courage to go to the bottom regard
less of which party ne n;ts."
Striking out at different individ-
uals who have figured in the teauot
dome probe, Vanderlip said William
G. McAdoO, Like any boy with
stolen jam, dropped his client i'm
mediately after the client had tes-
tilted before the investigating COM
mittee."
of the committee itself he said
THE associates of Senator Walsh
are very improper investigators of
any moral question. Jim Reed"
he declared, SIS a political skunk
and if he were busted with asafe-
tida, it would perfume him"
"The Senate" he charged, did
not go further in investigating Sec
retaIy Fall because Fall was ready
to peach and what he would have
said would have gone into a high
place They didn't dare"
MIR. Yanderlip then swept into
charges against the veterans bu.
reau, the shipping board and tia
sinister activity of Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty."
IAN these things" he said, "are
going to be scrutinized closely and
coldly sooner or later. What was
Ned McLean's relations with the
government? Let us know"

Ask Illinois Coal
Miners to Demand
HOWat Contention

PEORIA, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-A resolu-
ton calling upon the convention of
Dist. IL, United Mine Workers of
America, to be held in Peoria the
second week Of March, to demand a
special international convention of
mine workers to settle the Howat
case is now being read in Illinois
locals. The resolution in part reads:
"Alex Howat has been refused the
floor of our last international con-
vention, and by such refusal the de-
mands Of the many local unions that
the Kansas issue be brought out on
the floor on the international conven-
ton and settled once and for all time
have also been refused, and
Whereas: Repeated demands have
been made upon the international
exeucutive board the last two years
past, that the Kansas Issue be settled
and this has not been granted the
rank and file, therefore we believe
that the only way this issue can be
settled is by the calling of
a special international convention TO
give Alex Howat and all other Kansas
mine workers who have been expelled
from our union fair and impartial
trial and a decision rendered that
shall be final and binding by the dele
gates present"
The law governing special inter-
conventions requires the con-
sent Of five district organizations be-
fore such q meeting can be held.

KING MORGAN
GRANTS BIC
LOAN To JAPS
Money Will Be Spent
in u. S.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-A $780,
100000 loan, one of the greatest il
not record peace-time international
financial issue, has just been complet-
ed between the Japanese Government
and a group Of American fnanciers,
headed by J. p. Morgan.
The transaction, completed at the
Morgan home Monday night means
that Japanese Government bonds in
this sum will be foa1ed in the United
States and certain European CONT
mental countries. The money advanc-
ed to Japan will, for the most part,
return to the United States thru d.
rect trade channels.
U. S. Beats England.
simultaneously with the completion
of the loan transaction in New York,
a similar loan of 100000 pounds
sterling was arranged in England be-
tween the japanese Government and
a British group Of fnanciers.
Under cond tions Of the loan. a
bulk of Japan's expenditures for her
reconstruction program will be made
in the United States. An interesting
feature of the transaction is that the
United States receives a larger share
Of the business than England, which,
before the war, always had what APP
peared to be first call on new interna-
tional business.

Special to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1873
Steadily growing opposition to
the appointments made by
President Coolidge gained such
Roadway today that rejection
of the nomination of Siias H.
Strawn as one of the presi-
Dental oil counsel nominations
seemed inevitable.
When President Coolidge
came back from New York
this morning the situation was
placed before him by admins
tration senators, who advised
him to withdraw Strawn's NOM
nation.
Strawn's connection as a di-
rector of the First National and
First Trust and Savings Banks
of Chicago-admittedly Stand
ard oil banks-is the basis for
opposition to him.
Congress will fight it out with the
president on the nominations and let
the move for impeachment proceed

least.
Senator Walsh, Montana, who DOM
mates the oil scandal inquiry. has
been designated to survey the rec
ord for specific charges that might
warrant charges of impeachment
against the secretary.
The public lands committee today
proceeded with cross examination Of
:. Leo Stack, Denver oil man. Stack
charged that the Standard Oil of
Indiana "entered a conspiracy with
Harry Sinclair to put over the lease
of Teapot Dome.

The international aspect of the la

morrow or Friday when the resolution
from the Workers Party colored del

There is considerable sentiment in
favor of Russian recognition on be-
half of the delegates because Russia
is the only great power in the world
which practices as well az breaches

MINES CONTRACT
is REFERRED TO
SUBCOMMITTEE
Three or Four Year
Pact Expected

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 49,
The coal miners wage-scale and con-
tract question yesterday referred
to subcommittee and negotiations
are in progress today between the
operators and miners representatives
of the reduced body.
Two miners representatives from
each of the four competitive fields
and two representing the operators
compose the subcommittee. Attend
ing all sessions and acting in an adj
visory capacity for their organiza-
lions are John L. Lewis, Philip
Murray and William Green for the
United Mine Workers; Michael Gal
lagher and Ezra Vanhorn for the
coal operators association.
John L. Lewis has announced That
the miners will hold out for four
year contract and no reduction in
wages. The operators appear to
favor conceding the wage question
altho a strong minority is apparently
willing to fight it out.
Among the operators the view Is
freely expressed that the presiden-
tial year gives the United Mine
Workers a decided advantage and
about the only objection 10 four
year contract so far expressed is
that it would bring the next neeo-
tiation period into an election year.
The settlement that is expected
here is a three-year contract with
out a wage reduction, altho there
may be readjustment Of working
schedules.
Hindmarsh Opposes Sub Committee.
John Hindmarsh Of Riyerton. Ill.
who fought for the six-hour dav at
the Indianapolis convention, was one
of the wage-scale committee who
objected to referring the wage-scale
and contract question to the sub
committee. 1t was announced, as
a result Of the objections. that the
report Of the subcommittee would
be subject to thoro review bv the
entire conference before acceptance.
No announcement was made of the
possibility of amendments.

members Of the coal operators assoc
,iation have moved from the Mason
hotel to the Seminole hotel. where

hood. These members of the
workingclass will fight for a
genuine labor program that
will mean actual progress to-
wards the industrial emancipa-
ton Of the workers of the
darker race.
Ask Equality in labor Unions.
The open door into the labor I'M
ions is one of the important issues
before the labor committee. More
and more labor unions have been
dropping the color barrier but there
are still leading industrial occupa-
tons from which the Negro is shut
by conservative unionism. The real
labor elements of the labor commit
tee want the Sahedrin to throw all
its influence behind the program of
equality in every labor union in
America. They believe that if the
standing labor commission that will
sit after the conference closes, will
agitate this question and
make an issue of every instance
where the color line is drawn that
towards racial equality
thruout the labor movement will be
greatly fastened.
Migration of a million southern
Negroes into northern industries has
made the labor union program more
important than ever.

IN THREAT TO
FIGHT STRIKE
Plan To Engage SCabS To
Man Struck Trucks

Infatuated over the success
of the strike called by the Ex-
cavating, Grading and Asphalt
Transfers and Chauffeurs'
Union, Local 731, against the
Chicago Contracting Team
Owners Association, the Com
mittee to Enforce the Lands
Award in a public statement
threatened to organize fleet
of trucks and smash the strike,
which at present has brought
building operations in Chicago
to a standstill.
The union men demanded one dollar
day increase and an additional fifty
cents if they are required to help
load their trucks or wagons. The
existing scale is $3.50 day for truck
drivers and $3.50 for wagon drivers
on the basis Of a nine hour day. The
strikers are also fighting for the g.
hour workday.
Boasts of Its Success.
The strikebreaking agency known
as the Lands Award committee
openly boasts of its success in fur
thering the open shop in Chicago.
In letters to Lands Award con-
tractors officials Of the committee
say:
"The citizens committee takes the
stand that nothing shall interfere
with construction in Chicago. If your
work is being delayed by the tieup
the committee intends to take the
same action that it took last spring
when the transfers refused to haul
structural steel to the Cubs ball park
and the committee organized trucks
and men to do this work"
The contractors fear that accept
ance of the offer Of the Lands Award
strike breakers to introduce scabs
into the situation will bring about
sympathetic strikes. The hauIers
are determined to fight for victory.
Several big building projects among
them the new Union station and the |
Balaban & Katz theater at Lawrence
avenue are at a standstill.
Collins Offers Services of Police.
Barely had the men quit their
trucks than Chief of Police Collins
offered his services to the contractors
in case the latter attempted to break |
the strike. The police under the in
structions of Collins would protect |
the strikebreakers. The strikers
would thus be given an example of
the benevolence of Democratic adj
ministration which was elected to Of
flee on the ground that it was friend
~ to organized labor.
John Flynn, president of the Ex-
eavating, Grading and Asphalt Team
sters' and Chauffeurs' Union which
is conducting the strike has charge
of strike operations and is busy out
in the field.
He declares that his men are out to
win the fight. The plea of the Chicago
sociation that the business cannot af-
ford an increase does not hold water
In the opinion Of labor men ccnver-
SAINT with the situation. The work
performed by the haulers is laborious
and dirty and the increase demanded
by them is extremely moderate.
Profits Are Big.
The contractors make big profits
and can easily afford to grant the
strikers demands. Talk Of sympa-
thetic strikes are in the air but
whether the bosses will hold out until
this sentiment crystallizes into action
is doubtful.
