WASHINGTON, May 31.-Two hun

All of these sales of government

For the first time in their history

TEAPOT DOMERS
INDICTED;BUT 1T
MEANS NOTHING
May Get Away as They
Did Before
BY LAWRENCE TODD
Federated Press Service

WASHINGTON May 81 Albert
Fall, who was Hardings secretary OF
the interior, has once more been in
dicted by a grand jury in the District
OF Columbia in connection with his
giving away OF the naval oil reserves
to Doheny, Sinclair and Standard Oil
interests. With Harry Sinclair, who
got the Teapot Dome OIL reserve, and
Edward L. Doheny, who received the
Elk Hills reserve in California, Fall
was held for trial on charges Of con-
spring with these two oil magnates to
defraud the government Of its pro-
perty.
Earlier indictments Of Fall, Sinclair
and both the elder Doheny and his
son. on charges of bribery, had been
declared void by Justice Mccoy in the
district court, on the ground that spe-
cial prosecutors had the assistance Of
certain representatives Of the depart
ment Of justice in the grand jury
room. Young Doheny, who carried the
800 900 from his father to Fall in the
little black satchel, was let go at this
stage.
D. Of J. Has doubts"
Congress enacted a law some time
ago with reference to fraud cases, ex-
tending from three years to six years
the period, after the commission Of a
fraud against the government, during
which prosecution may be begun. The
department OF justice is not sure
whether this oil fraud bribery can be
considered to be covered by that law.
If So a bribery indictment may be Sc
cured later; If not, the three-year
period has expired and Fall has the
500, 600 safe and secure.
Justice" the 5llnd-SmeIis OIL
When the Coolidge administration,
which is filed with friends Of Fall
and Doheny and Sinclair, will venture
to put the oil fraud conspiracy cases
on trial has not been decided. Long
delay is expected, as Fall has never
wanted to face a court and Sinclair
and Doheny are equally jury-shy.
In view Of the persistence with
which Coolidge stood by the oil crowd
to the very last, until the Senate re-
volted and OVERRIDE his decisions, the
little man from New England cannot
see why Fall and Sinclair and Doheny
should not trust him now to give them
the justice that business men give one
another.
The longer the trial is delayed, the
more difficult will be the bringing Of
witnesses sufficient to convict. And
the less will the public become indign-
ant at the release of the oil land grab

CAN'T FIRE SCHOOL
TEACHER BECAUSE
SHE GOT MARRIED
Especial to Tho Daily worksr)


NEW YoRk-Women teachers In
New York state and city schools
who marry cannot be ousted from
their Jobs for that reason, Or.
Frank P. Graves, state commission
er Of education, rules.
The ruling was made on the case
Of Mrs. Davis Thomas who lost her
job as teacher In Albany when
school authorities discovered she
had been secretly married. Mrs.
Thomas Is relnstated. Every
teacher Is secure In her position,
the commissioner says, after the
three year probationary period I'M
less removed for cause and then
not until she has had a hearing.
The attempt Of New York City
school authorities to make the
already burdened teachers "voIun-
teer" for playground service before
and after school hours Is apparently
failing, judging by the statement Of
Or. William J. o'shea, superln-
tendent Of schools, that the request
for volunteers is only temporary.
The Teachers Union has been In
vestlgatlng the working out of the
volunteer playground system In
school yards and Investigators have
found that more children playing
unsupervised outside the yards than
inside, altho the purpose Of opening
school yards Is avowedly the protec-
tion of children from street dangers.

by M. Zinovlev could have been either
discussed, drafted or issued.
This inspection convinced them, so
far as a negative can be proved, that
no RED letter" ever left the Comm
tern.
Never a cred Letter"
And this conclusion that there never
was a RED letter" is corroborated,
continues the delegation, by the little
that has been divulged in London as
TO it's origins. Thus Mr.. Chamberlain
in the house December 15), in reply
to Mr.. Macdonald. admitted that the
foreign office had never had an orr
ginal and that II was wholly imma-
terial whether the signature OF Mr..
McManus was put by him or not"
While Mr.. Macdonald stated: IL
never had a particle Of evidence"
On the other hand, Mr.. Chamberlain
positively maintains the authenticity
Of the document as result of his
cabinet inquiry, while Mr.. Macdonald
considers It mot proven" as a result
OF his.
So that the inference drawn by
those who still believe in Comlntern
conspiracy is that while the Red
letter" may not have been formal
signed dispatch. yet that its contents
were communicated in some form or
other. And the explanation generally
accepted by such believers Is that the
substance OF II was contained In a
speech OF which a summary was sent
10 the British Communist Party.

For, as the present home secretary
pointed out to the house, it was the
official action on and publication OF

The objections advanced against a
public inquiry do not carry conviction.
The safety of secret agents can be Sc
cured by their withdrawal, and has
in any case been guaranteed by the
Russian government. IL the Russian
authorities can expose the officials
and archives of the foreign office and
Comintern to a foreign inspection, a
refusal on our part to subject those

Unexpected Water
Underlies Canadian
National Railways

MONTREAL, May 31-How and why
the capitalization Of the Canadian
railways jumped up by over $1,000
100000 in year or two is worrying
railway employees. In 1922 official rail
way statistics gave all Canadian
roads total capitalization of s2,159,-
277131. The latest official returns
give the roads capitalization of 49,
264,674,0OO, the increase being due to
a jump in the bonded debt of over
$1,1OO, 100000. Apparently when the
government took over the roads now
forming the Canadian National it ac-
quired liabilities which were not re-
vealed at the time.

Profits Not All Low.

These profits represent only three
months operations For full year
they would mean more than 10 per
cent for the stockholders of every in
dustry except leather. The automobile
industry would make over 80 per cent
for its stockholders; motor accessory
concerns approximately % per cent.
The chemical industry, which among
other things supplies farmers with fer
tilizer, would present common stock
holders with more than 20 per cent.
And this Profit Rats Is on Water.
Generous stock dividends in the
past have capitalized the excess prof
its Of previous years in many of these
industries until the present par value
of the stock has little relation to the
actual investment of the owners. In
some industries the common stock
was originally all water. So the re-
turn on actual investment would be
far greater than the percentages
shown.
At the beginning OF 1925 these cor
porations had undivided surplus prof
its of S1,652,057,3S1, amounting to
nearly half the entire $S,657, $4,000
par value of their common stock.

Dispute Between
Building Trades
Still Unsettled

BOSTON, Mass.-The national board
of jurisdictional awards, representing
building trades unions employers and
architects, concluded its sessions here
without settling the dispute between
the carpenters and sheet metal work
ers that has played such a part in the
disruption Of building trades councils
thruout the nation for several years.
The issue involved is the work of
installing hollow metal doors and
metal trim. In 1920, when both
unions were affiliated to the building
trades department Of the American
Federation Of Labor and to the ma
tional board for jurisdictional awards
they brot the issue before the board,
each claiming jurisdiction Of this
work. The decision went against the
carpenters: soon after they quit the
building trades department. Turmoil
followed in many cities the carpen-
ters in some cases getting the work
from local contractors despite the de-
cision. Three years ago the board
was asked to settle the issue afresh
but took the stand that it could do
nothing so long as the carpenters
were not affiliated thru the building
trades department. This year the
Building Trades Employers associa-
ton asked the board to adjudicate the
question again but the board again re-
fused.
No decision was reached on another
perplexing matter-as to whether the
sheet metal workers or the electric
ians shall install conduit bases"
metal Dashboard used as conduits for
electric wires in office buildings. The
sheet metal men were awarded the
work two years ago but there has
been continued objection from the
electricians and this year they de-
manded a review.
In the controversy between plaster
ers, carpenters and fathers regarding
work on substitutes for lath, plaster
and sheathing the board ruled that
ANY form of plaster board which
serves as a base for plastering is the
work of the lather."

Taxicab Drivers Win
in Fight for Increase
Against Quaker Corp.
fspeelal e rhe palIy Worker.l

NEW YORK,-About two hundred
taxicab drivers employed by the
Quaker Holding corporation, went on
strike this week for an increase in
their commissions. Before the strike
the men were receiving thirty five
per cent and now they are receiving
forty per cent. The strike lasted
about four hours and the men struck
to a man.
The Quaker Holding corporation, is
a new Taxi company in this city, its
cabs, being new, notes therefor must
be paid on time, the same being true
of tire, garage, gasoline, and other
bills and the officials knew, that to
prolong the strike meant defeat at
the hands of their drivers.
There are over thirty thousand
taxicab drivers in New York City, and
they should follow the example as set
by their comrades employed by the
Quaker Holding corporation. Amongst
the thirty thousands drivers, are
about three thousand who are en-
ployed by the open shop Yellow Taxi
corporation, who are the lowest paid
drivers on the streets of this city.
Yellow drivers receive only thirty
three and one third per cent, while
the drivers working for the independ-
ent bosses receive forty per cent.
Yellow taxi drivers wake up! Or
ganization is the only remedy. You
cannot improve your conditions unless
you solidify your forces and fight for
your rights.
"Tavicab drivers Of this city unite!"
