FARRINGTON'S FAT
EXPENSE BILL is
HYPOCRISY PROOF
Blunts His Attacks on

posing him, and his threat OF expul-
sion to Tumulty.
Fight for Miners.
For many years these four men,
Thompson, Watt, Parry, and TumuIty,
have been the outstanding opponents
of the Harrington machine, and the
champions of the rank and file of the
Illinois miners They have consis-
tently fought for the miners against
the combined efforts of harrington and
the coal operators. Their work has
become so effective that harrington,
feeling his position slipping from him,
resorts to the method of explosions
and threats in an insane attempt to
stop the exposure. It is a we'll
known fact in Illinois that Thompson
and Watt are the miners hope for
tsfh district oliises in the next Hi,
Lois miners vi or elections.
DIaf 70 Takers.
Harrington now declares the Educa-
tional Committees to be dual, Far
rington is a liar. We are not any
surprised or worried at any thing Far
nngton says about dual unions. We
have come to know that what Earring
ton says is against the union must be
good for it. Any miner having a thot
of his own, and not in bondage to the
machine is dual" in the eyes of the
faker.
We organized the unemployment
councils to help care for the starving
children of the miners when Earring
ton had refused to do so. They were
declared dual, so was the Progressive
Miners committee declared dual after
harrington saw he could not use it as
part of his machine Now the educa-
tional league is dual because its
members are exposing the takers to
the miners.
Blood Letting.
harrington states the attempt to
send Watt and Thompson around the
state "A brazen attempt to bleed you
of your hard earned money and has
never before been attempted in ILL
nois." This statement shows the gall
and brazennessl Of the faker. The
proposed trip ofsWatt and. Thompson
would cost the miners of their sub
districts a few cents each and the re-
quest for voluntary subscriptions for
that purpose is entirely constitutional.
That request and method of secur-
ing money is irogreat contrast with
the method used by Harrington him.

that Farringtonphses is given below,

Enough Expenses to Circle World.
The district expense account for the
last three months OF 1924 shows that
harrington drewstwo salaries while

What the American negotiators
expect from M. Caillaux and his
colleagues, after the social ameni-
ties are ended, is a. brief, intensive
effort to obtain the most advan-
tageous terms possible, and then
the signing of an agreement.
At the outset of the negotiations,
which get under way tomorrow,
France will be offered the same
basis for settlement that was ac-
cepted by Great Britain scale Of

beginning with a modest figure, and

OCEAN LINER PREPARES FOR EMERGENCY AFTER BOMB THREE
FRENCH DEBT MISSION ON
WAY TO WASHINGTON

$24,O00,00O. so gradual is the in
crease.
Treasury officials believe and
are prepared to back up their be-
lief with their own statistics that
France can manage such settle
ment without undue hardship or
difficulty.
In this connection it was pointed
out today that France will secure
this year approximately $751; ,000,-
600 from Germany under the oper-
alton of the Dawes plan. Next
year she Is to receive approx
mately the same amount, and in
succeeding years considerably more,
ranging up to $500, 100000.
It is realized by the American
negotiators that a good part of
these amounts will be necessary
in the, next few years to balance
the French budget and rehabilitate
governmental finances from their
prewar confusion.
Begins On Easy Scale
But. by beginning on an easy
scale, Treasury officials consider
that France can manage It, as the
larger drain on the French treas
ury will not come for some years
ahead. when, granted normal sta
bilization OF conditions, the French
treasury will be in better position
to meet the burden.
M. Caillaux win be confronted in
his first social contest in Wash
ington with two men who are
strongly committed to belief in
Frances ability to pay, and are
just as strongly I'd to a
settlement that does not depart
radically from the British plan.
Senator william e. Borah Of
Idaho and Senator Reed Smoot Of
Utah will be dinner guests at the
White House tomorrow night when
President Coolidge entertains tLl
French commission. cS0rah, In par
ticular, has been one Of Frances
most outspoken critics.
Both Borah and Smoot have
stated publicly their belief that
France is more able to pay her
war debt than Great Britain.
