Congress May Reopen
Teapot Dome Oil Case

Washington-It is possible that the
Teapot Dome oil case will again be
aired in congress, even though the
government has appealed Federal
Judge Kennedy's decision to the cir
cult court Of appeals.
This congressional probe will call
the public's attention to rulings by
Judge Kennedy which many declare
have blocked justice.
The Sinclair interests were con-
nected with a corporation doing bust
ness in Canada. Judge Kennedy de-
MED the governments request for a
postponement of the trial that testI-
mony in Canada could be secured. An
officer of the company left his home
in Canada to "hunt big game ir
Africa" Later the court denied the
governments plea to reopen the case
when several important witnesses
who had left the country returned.
These witnesses included officials
of the Standard oil company and its
subsidiaries.
The government also attempted tC
show that a large lot of Liberty bonds
were transferred to the account of
former Secretary of the Interior Fall
in western banks, but Judge Ken
nedy refused to admit this testimony.

child labor, various systems of licens-
ing of workers, mothers pensions,
inspection of workshops and factO lies,
laws relating to labor unions, COM
pensation, laws to protect working
women, wages as preferred claims,
al.o other protective measures, are

Hold Muscle Shoals
Says Electric Chief

Seattle, Wash.-Let the government
retain Muscle Shoals and develop this
vast water power, said James P.
Noonan, president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
nual convention here. Now is the
time to safeguard the interests of the
power-corsuming public, the trade
unionist said.
"Today the great bulk of fuel-burn-
ing and water power used in this
country is generated by private COM
panics. Undeveloped waterpower
sites are fast passing into the hands
of private corporations, and in few
years it will be too late to use any
of the waterpower sites for the pro
lection of the consuming public"
President Noonan said that the
Muscle Shoals project affords an op-
portunity to do a lasting service to
the people by placing curb on the
greed of private interests.
"The government should retain
that which belongs to the people and
furnish to the instruments Of gov
eminent a gauge by which they may
measure the service rendered by pri-
vate capital in that field and deter
mine the element of justice in their
pleas for what they deem adequate
compensation for such service" he
said.
"It is gratifying to report that the
Muscle Shoals commission, appoint
ed by President Coolidge, opposes TIE
leasing of Muscle Shoals to private
interests, pending further action by
congress"
In his reference to the company
"union" and secession movements in
the electrical industry, President
Noonan said that the company "ur-
ion" is we'll on its way to join the
o. B. u, the c. E. W., the /. w. W.
"and other strays on the scrap heap
| of unsuccessful eXperiments."

Political "Pull" Is
Factor in Choosing
the Federal Judges
So Declares William Green in an
Address at the Ohio State
Federation Convention

Steubenville, O.-The use of politi-
cal influence in appointment of fed
eral judges tends to lower respect for
the judiciary, declared William Green,
president of the A. F. of L., in an ad-
dress to the annual convention of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor.
The trade unionist called attention
to the practice of senators who "stand
by each other" in refusing to confirm
appointments that do not have the ap-
proval of some colleague. Lawyers
who have rendered senators special
service are chosen as federal judges
and not becaue of their qualifications,
he said.
"This puts men on the bench who
are responsible to certain political
powers and not to the people," said
President Green. In referring to the
Daugherty Wilkerson Injunction
against the shop men, he said: "Look
up the record and you will find that
apparently a ready-made Judge was
appointed through the recommends
ton of an attorney general who was
loyal to reactionary forces"
President Green declared that the
indifference of wage earners and the
people generally has made possible
| the success of reaction and the an
nullment by the supreme court of
two federal child labor laws
1--WE were encouraged by the ready
response of congress to the universal
demand for child labor legislation
There was no mistaking public SEN
timent. We believed our task was
practically over when we prevailed
upon congress to pass this amend
ment to the federal constitution, but
TO our astonishment we found certain
interests uniting to defeat that pro-
| posal.
"The people were led to believe
that their children would be prevent
ed from washing dishes in the home
or the boy from carrying a pail of
water. The most absurd things were
advanced. Never was reaction so
bold. The people were deceived. The
Misrepresentation was so effective that
the only great force that stood for
the children, the American Fedora
ton of Labor, was unable to stem
The tide.
This measure is not dead. The
American Federation of Labor is
committed to this policy, and so far
as | can speak for it the fight will be
carried on until we win.
Are we a nation? Does each
community live by itself? Are the
children of America the children of
America or are they the children of
each community? l hold that the
humblest child in the remotest section
OF our nation is as deserving of the
same protection as is any other child
in America"

Labor Day D0ingS
THOUSANDS GET
MONEY FROM
LIGHT COMPANY
Ohio Company Has UnbrOken Record
of Dividend Payments to Its
Preferred Stockholders

Another quarterly dividend was
paid by the Ohio Power Com
pany to thousands of residents of the
territory served who own shares of
its preferred stock. These dividends
amount to more than 6A@ a year
on every dollar invested.
With unbroken regularity the Com
pany has paid dividends every three
months since the stock was first
issued. This outstanding record,
which has made the stock one of the
most attractive securities offered TO
the local public in many years, has
been made possible by the nature Of
the company's business. The service
of the Ohio Power Company-that Of

OlatOrs-SOme Astounding
Figures Made Public

Observation-Disclosures of the mar
cotic drug laws occupy more cells in
federal prisons than bootleggers.
Figures issued by the Department
of Justice show that on June 80 last
the number of Harrison narcotic drug
act prisoners in Atlanta penitentiary
was 1,046, or 32.1 per cent of all con-
victs there. There were only 437 vio-
lators of the revenue and prohibition
laws combined, or 1876 per cent.
For the fiscal year 1924, only n
revenue and prohibition prisoners
were sent to Atlanta, but in 1925 the
figure jumped TO 399. Narcotic drug
law offenders confined in the fiscal
year 1924, were 610, and in 1925, they
numbered 1872. The prison population
at Atlanta increased 1850 ten years
ago to $3.50 this year, while at Leav-
enworth the figure in 1925 was 1,70O
compared with 3,40O last June 80.
