LsnrOot Has HeebIe-Jeebies.

Lenroot has been nervous too, at
times. Whether the matter be only
a coincidence or not, 1t was evident
to all who attended the hearings that
these two henchmen Of the admins
tration shared mystery that is de-
MED to ordinary hard-shelled reac-
tionaries, such as Bursum, Cameron
and Pittman. Now they have admit
ted that they conferred with Fall be-
fore he went on the stand.
There came the day when the local
manager for the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. was summoned before the
committee with copies of the great
number of kilograms dealing with
this oil probe which went from here
to Mclean of the Washington Post
and to Fall. his guest. at Palm Beach,
at the time Senator Walsh was going
down there to get Mclean to con-
fess that his testimony as to a $780,
600 loan to Fall was a lie.
Walsh began to read. to himself,
the first of the kilograms. Smoot
peered anxiously over his shoulder.
Suddenly Walsh's eyebrows went up.
Smoot looked i'll. Both men whis-
pered to Lenroot. Then, without con-
sulting any of the six other mem
bers who sat about the table, Len
root declared they would go into Sc
cret session. Walsh interrupted him.
Lenroot raped the table again and
explained in an agitated voice that
all parts of the kilograms that were
found to be relevant to this oil in
vestigation would be read in public
session later on. Smoot wrung his
hands, and looked as tho he were
about to collapse. Lenroot was far
from composed.
Afterward, a Democratic member
admitted that "big politics" was af-
fected by the revelations found in
this stream of reports which went by
wire to Mclean and Fall in Florida.
The men suspected in the fraud were
being kept intimately in touch with
the committee itself
Now Smoot and Lenroot admit
they conferred with Fall before he
took the stand.

way by special agents Of Department
of Justice. He believes information
is important. "Mary."
The Mary referred to it said to be
Mary Duckstein, a confidential secre-
tary in the Department of Justice.
In connection with the code tele-
grams, sent to Mclean, the Teapot
Dome committee has been informed
that the one referring to "Mary,"
referred to a confidential secretary
in the Department of Justice. This
woman, committee members were
told, is related by marriage to w. o.
Duckstein, the Mclean agent to
whom the code telegram in question
was sent.
Serious Steps" Planned.
This particular telegram, accord
ing to Senator Walsh, was the one
which said that VIM. J. Burns had
sent for "Mary" and notified her that
Mclean was being Investigated by
the Department of Justice.
The committee will check transla-
tons submitted to it against the
principal code expert of the War
Department, whose aid was enlisted
yesterday by Senator Walsh. This
experts report is due today.
Walsh will run down a report that
the code used by Mclean and his
employees was based on White House
cipher.
If it is established that the gov
ernment's code was used, or that con-
fdential information from a govern
ment department was given to Nc
Lean by an official of the govern
ment, serious steps" will be taken
at once, member of the committee
said.
Women In Case.
Senator Walsh has announced he
would summon Mrs. W. o. Duck
stein, wife of E. B. McLean's secre-
tary, to testify regarding code tele-
grams sent to Mclean at Palm
Beach.
Mrs. Duckstein is a special agent
of the Department of Justice and
was formerly confidential secretary
to William J. Burns, head of the
bureau Of investigation of the de-
parJment.
Duckstein today stated his wife's
name is Jessie, but that she had
used the name Mary on occasions.
One Of the, code kilograms to Duck
stein, signed MARY" informed him
that Burns had sent for Mary and
said to tell Mclean he was being
investigated by the justice depart
ment.
Walsh wants Mrs. Duckstein to
tell whether she sent this. message
and whether Burns had given her
such instructions. He also wants to
know how Mclean got the obsolete
Department Of Justice code in which
the kilograms were sent.
Burns viii be called TO tell more
about these things also.

Fifteen bosses, employing more
than $50 workers, have yielded all

union is striking at the busy season
when employers must get their pro-
fits II they expect to come out ahead
for the year.
The early victory Of the union over
10 employers has given renewed i'm
petus TO the strike. More pickets
will be on the line this morning than
any day so far in the strike. Left
wing militants who are recruiting
pickets for the shop squads say that
volunteers are coming forward with
greater enthusiasm since receiving
the news Of the first success.
Support which the DAILY
WORKER and the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor are giving the strike
are powerful factors in the fighting
spirit Of the strikers.

Did Not Do Unto
Her, as He Did Unto
Others, WHe's Charge

NEW YORK, March 2.-For the
first time, the fundamentalist-
modernist schism in the Episcopal
church has invaded the home and
became the cause of divorce.
VIM. H. Griffin, New York lawyer,
has answered his wife's suit for
divorce by asserting that their diff
ferences are due to the fact that Mrs.
Griffin is a modernist, while he has
been and remains a fundamentalist..
Draw Your Own Conclusions.
In her complaint, Mrs. Griffin
charged misconduct at Atlantic City
and that her husband failed to show
her affection. But Griffin says the
trouble 3 due to "the plaintiff
views regarding religion" They were
married in 1906.
"The plaintiff favors the school of
thought of which the Rev. Percy
Stickney Grant is the most conspicu-
GUS exponent at the present time
The lawyers answer, submitted by
law partner, reads in part.
He Was Hard Boiled.
Griffin accuses his wife Of being "a
veritable iconoclast in religious mat
ters," and declares he is content to
allow all dogmatic dissertations to
be shattered against the solid rock
Of fundamentalism.
"The plaintiff, with free rein,
says the answer, "has chased practi-
cally all the isms which this city
offers to such seekers"
Mrs. Griffin today denied her hus-
bands statements and said she be-
lieves in the orthodox principles Of
Christian religion and that she still
belongs to the Episcopalian church.

In War on Striking Labor

the entire year they must come to
the shops and do the work that is
to be done. Some times they are
thru at noon, sometimes before.
While they are waiting for a little
work to do they get nothing.
When the boss has a large order
they must work all hours Of the day
or night to get the order done only
to be without work a few weeks
later.
Must Help Out Husbands.
Many of the women who work in
the dress industry in Chicago are
the wives of very poorly paid foreign
born workers. They go to work to
supplement the wages Of their hus-
bands. When they have children the
children must take care Of themselves
while their mothers work. The kids
go to school when they are old
enough. After school they play in
the streets or wherever they can.
When the children are too young
to 60 to school they are put in day
nurseries. For this the mothers must
pay. After the mother has completed
days work in the shop she goes
home to take care Of her children
and prepare meals for her husband.
Many Of the girls who work in the
dress and waist industry live at
home. Their wages are so small
that they cannot support themselves.
The girls who do not live at home
must manage as best they can on
the small wages they receive. When
they get a weeks pay that seems
large, $35 or $S6, they are compelled
to save good part Of 1t for the slack
seasons.
Girls HuddIed Together.
Often these girls who are not liv-
ing at home are compelled to live
three and more in one room in order
to economic. Working on a piece
work basis at high speed and long
hours part of the time and being
idle most Of the time helps to break
down the health Of the workers.
The bosses in the industry attempt
to bring back prosperity by cutting
wages and promising to cut prices
and telling the workers: "If ] make
cheaper garments more Of them will
sell and that will make more work
can only cut prices by cutting your
wages"
Outside the union shops the girls
are not sure Of an equal division Of

Japanese Prince
Tries to Stage q
Comeback: He Fails

TOXIC, Japan. March 2.-Formal
announcement Of the death Of Prince
Matsukata, one Of the two surviving
members Of the Genro, or elder
Statesmen" of Japan, was made to-
day.
Three days ago he was first de-
clared dead. Then the announce
ment was termed as premature.
Since that time IL has remained in
definite as to whether he were dead
or alive.
II was reported that announcement
of the death was being withheld un-
til the Prince Regent could confer
upon him certain last honors.
Matsukata was twice Premier Of
japan and was the organizer Of the
Japanese monetary system.

work that is to be done. The boss
gives the work he has to do during
slack times to the workers he wants
to give it to. Often workers anxious
to get a little work are willing to
work very cheaply. They establish
a practice. Once they work for less
than the regular price the bosses try
to cut them to the same level even
during busy seasons. In union shops
when there is little cork to do what
there is to be done is equally divided.
Worry Even While Working.
ave know what it is to be hungry,
We know what it is to go without
and to worry even when we are
working. We have worked in the
dress industry for years without
knowing where or when we would
get another wage cut.
ITO strike is not as bad as to live
in fear that you would not get a
share Of the little work that there is
to do" the girl striker who told her
story to the DAILY WORKER said
