SAYS FALL

nina
Other Offers Were Considered
in Leasing ofITeapot Dome,
He Declares
BY International News Service.

Denial that ex-Secretary Of In.
terror Albert B. Fall leased TeapOt
Dome to Harry F. Sinclair without
inviting bids from other oil interests
was made to the Senate Public
Lands Committee today by H. Eos.
ter Balm. director Of the Bureau OF
Mines.
Democratic members Of the com.
mtttee have maintained that Fail
never called for bids, but leased the
reserve to Sinclair without competi.
ton.
Names Other Companies
Balm mentioned the Texas Com.
pany, the Pioneer on Company and
e. L. Doheny as among the in.
terests which applied to Fail and
received consideration from him fol
a lease to Teapot Dome.
Senator Walsh (Dem.) Of Montana,
then read previous testimony Of
Amos L. Beatty. president Of TIE
Texas Company, IN which the oil
man said Fall ha6 told him Sin
clair's bid was satisfactory. Beatty'e
conversation with Fall was In
lease actually was made.
Fall told me-" Balm INTERRUPTED
that Doheny also had spoken to
him about lease. But both OF
them decided that q lease to
I Doheny would not be wise because
Doheny's interests were on the
coast, too far away from the re.
serve"
Under further questioning by
Walsh, Balm declared that some
friends of his in the Pioneer Com
pany had approached Fall for q
lease.
Called for Written Bid.
II don't doubt that" Walsh In.
terposed, but 1t appears from the
evidence that Fall decided upon the
lease to Sinclair long before these
other interests applied"
II am quite sure. too" Balm
added. that Fall invited Beatty
to submit a bid in writing"
Since the opening Of the Senate's
oil investigation Doheny, lessee of
the Elk Hills, Cal, Naval Reserve,
has not brought in new wells Of
the reserve. Balm said.
Seven or eight offset wells
previously drilled under the lease
Of December II, 1922, however,
have produced approximately 500.
900 barrels Of oil, HAHN added.
DohenY also Is getting $4,000. 900
cubic feet Of gas from two gas
wells on the reserve, he said.
Total Capacity Unknown.
Because Of the unexpected pro-
duction Of new depth wells in Tea
pot Dome, Balm said, 1t was impos.
sible to estimate the total oil ca.
pacity Of the reserve leased to
Harry F. Sinclair. Biologists pre-.
viously had estimated the capacity
at approximately $4,000, 900 barrels.
Teapot Dome oil is economically
unusable for naval fuel oil because
OF it's high grade character. Balm
testified. To make it suitable for
naval purposes, it has to be refined
or exchanged for lower grades. he
said.
Teapot Dome was leased to nre.
vent the imminence Of loss of the
navy's reserve oil through drainage
by wells In adjacent fields, Balm
declared.

POLICE ALLOW
NEGROES HOMES
TO Be BOMBED
Authorities in League
with Khan Terrorists

KANSAS CITY, June 23.-The Ne
gro families were forced to move out
of homes they owned by a series OF
bombings.
The Negroes have dwelt peacefully
in three blocks on Montgall st. for If
teen years. These men innocently
bought corner houses on a cross
street. Their lots are bordered by
Negro-owned lots.
Some whites organized protest meet.
ings every afternoon in front Of their
houses under the auspices of the I'm
provement Association and openly
solicited funds to run out the mig
gers"
Police Encourage Bombing.
No street meetings have been toler-
ated in Kansas City for ten years
but the police refused to interfere.
The racial persecution eliminated in
weekly bombings of Negroes houses.
The police still refused to interfere.
The real estate concern refused to
buy back the lots. The men moved
out for the sake of their children.
Dead Line to Negroes.
This incident is not climax. 1t is
merely-an incident. Fifteen years
ago dead line was drawn around the
Black Belt. Since then the Negro
population has grown from $4,000 to
$1,000 20 per cent boost.
The dead line has not been changed
and attempts to cross it have been
met with threats, violence and bombs.
Insurance companies are tipped of to
refuse to insure. The boycott is used.
In one case the city building inspec-
tor refused to issue a permit to erect
building. More than a year and
much money was wasted forcing him
thru the courts to do his duty.
II Bomblnss This Year.
The increased Negro population
causes horrible crowding. The Black
Belt averages two families to house
and among the poor the average is one
to a room. The situation grows ever
more acute. There have been seven
teen bombjngs already this year-in
five and a half months.
The police commissioners (Repub.
lican), openly sympathetic with the
khan elements, refuse protection and
in fifteen years have not made a sin
gle arrest of the bombers of Negro
dwellings.
Negroes Angered at System.
Sometimes the terrorists compel the
victim to move, often they fail. A
fierce resolution is growing among
Negroes that have CUTS enough to
resent wrong, that as this govern
ment represents the worst reaction
there must be a change.

CANADIAN MINERS
WAGE BIG BATTLE
AGAINST BOSSES
Lewis Insults them with
Faint Aid
Especial to the Daily worker.)

DRUMHELLER, Alberta, June 90.
Fighting against a cut in wages of
SLIT per day, the miners of District
is, United Mine Workers, are closing
the second month of struggle with
starvation starving them in the face.
President Lewis promised the dis
trict financial assistance from the in
ternational Office, in return for dictat-
ing the means and methods of strug-
gle. His promises have been kept to
the extent of $1,000 per week, to feed
10000 men, women and children. His
so-called assistance has been taken
as insult added to previous injuries
by the miners.
Lewis Let's Them Starve.
For more than a year before the
strike coal diggers in this region
have been averaging less than 5000 a
year. They entered the strike with
out funds and in debt. Aside from
the miserable allowance of Lewis, the
fight has been carried on with volun-
tary contributions from the Canadian
labor movement generally, and espe-
cially by donations from the Nova
Scotia miners.
Treachery Of the district leaders, in
making separate agreements with 10
operators, has aroused great opposi-
ton among the rank and file. A
movement Is being started to call a
special district convention to deal
with the conduct of the strike and
map out plans for carrying 1t thru
successfully. At this special conven-
ton it is also expected that the dis
trict will act upon the Howat case.
In a cablegram from the Interna-
tional Propaganda Committee of Rev.
olutiouary Miners, the solidarity of
the miners of the world with the strik-
ers in western Canada was expressed
The cable read:
International Propaganda Commit
tee Of Revolutionary Miners express
solidarity with rank and file District
Is in struggle against bosses on
slaught. Wish you victory.

BOSTON BANKER
RULES HUNGARY
FOR F|NANCIEE-
Jerry is on the Job for
World Rulers
Especial to the Daily wOrker.)


BUDAPEST, Hungary, June ga
Boston financier, jeremiah Smith, act
ing as collection agent for the League
of Nations, has been installed in the
finance ministry of Hungary so that
$2,000,000 of Hungarian Preparations
money may be paid into his hands
every year for the next twenty years.
Dictator Hortley, Of course, backs the
plan that is being put over in spite
of the bitter opposition of the ele-
ments of the left in Hungary, which
are against such scheme on general
principles.
The bank Of issues for Hungarian
finances, having a capital of 10000
600 gold roubles ($6,000,000)
been established here and cur1e..~.
imitation has been slowed down pre-
paratory to complete cessation. The
bank places the Hungarian govern
ment on the same footing as any other
client. and will ask that it furnish
security in order to borrow.
Increased taxation will provide the
funds out of which payments to the
interallied capitalists will be made.
This will eventually be taken out Of
the hides of the workers. The GUS
toms receipts, the tobacco monopoly,
the salt monopoly and sugar will be
placed at the service Of the League
to act as security for loans to Hun
gary. The funds will be deposited in
the name of the commissioner-gener
al, but they will not be permitted to
remain in the country.
Desperate Conditions.
Desperately in need, and unable to
take any definite steps toward recon
struction during the five years Of sol
emn fake negotiations and diplomatic
Juggling which have followed the
cessation of the war, Hungary has
been trying to save herself from utter
destruction by the policy of keeping
her own products within her own
borders. Although Hungary is g
farming country, and three quarter
Of her population live by the sale
crops, the export of foodstuffs
been strictly prohibited. Imp
trade has suffered in consequence,
and there are practically no manufac-
tured goods to be had in Hungary to-
day.
Extreme measures have been re-
sorted to by the country in an at
tempt to prevent complete demorali-
cation. News for the press is subject
to strict censorship. Foreigners, upon
arriving in the country and7Spon
ing, are forced to register with /,
police, and houses and hotels are con-
stantly searched. kilograms and
letters passing in and out of the
country are opened.
Needless to say, Hungarian officials
have made enormous sums out Of the
sales of special permits, needed by
ordinary citizens to carry on almost
any Of the transactions Of everyday
business life.
