The Teapot Dome
Lease OutIaWed by
the Federal Court
High Court of Appeals Has Re-
versed Decision of the
District Court

ST. Louis, Mo.-The Federal
Court of Appeals has reversed
the decision of the district court
at Cheyenne, Wyo., upholding
the Teapot Dome oil lease OBJ
tained by Harry F. Sinclair from
the government while Albert B.
Fall was Secretary of the In
terror.
The circuit courts decision is
sweeping in its effect, and orders the
lower court Immediately to cancel the
lease of the Mammoth Oil Company
controlled by Sinclair) and to enjoin
it from further trespassing on gov
ernment lands. Former United States
Senator Kenyon of Iowa is the pre-
siding judge of the circuit court. The
decision rebukes District Judge Ken
nedy of Cheyenne, who upheld the
lease. Judge Kenyon and his asso-
ciates declared that Sinclair secured
the contract by fraud and corruption.
"A trail of deceit, falsehood, sub
terfuge and corruption, at times in
distinct, but nevertheless discernible,
runs through the transactions incident
to and surrounding the making of this
lease" the court said.
The Sinclair interests will appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
Both Doheny and Sinclair are now on
the defensive. The Los Angeles fed
eral district court set aside that Elks
Hills oil lease, obtained by Doheny at
the same time and in the same man.

London, Eng.-Leading mem

conceal their purpose to pass
legislation hostile to the workers
when Parliament convenes.
The Tories are dissatisfied with the
unions present system of taking a

agreed upon, the workers opponents
would make this government func-

The government is also opposed to
the unionization of civil employees.

Coal Owners
Are Blamed for
Mine Lockout
Trouble in British COllieries
Still Remains in Unset
tied Condition

London, Eng.-In a speech in
the House of Commons, Winston
Churchill, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, blamed coal owners for
a continuance of the British
mine lockout.
Churchill attempted to negotiate a
settlement during the absence of
Premier Baldwin on a vacation, but
was blocked by owners. In the house
Churchhill pleaded with the miners to
return to work and make district
agreements. This is what the en-
ployers demand.
Premier Baldwin joined Churchill in
stating that the government can not
coerce the owners. The labor mem
bers of the house jeered this state
ment and pointed to coercive methods
against the miners.
The entire trade union movement
is resentful against the government
because of it's amendment to the min
ers' seven-hour law, at the request of
coal owners. The act now permits
eight-hour agreements. The enforce
ment of poor laws, for centuries in
charge of local authorities, has been
taken over by the Minister of Health.
The people pay poor taxes but in sew
eral areas have no voice in the dis
tribution of same.
These and other aids to the coal
owners make it difficult for the gov
ernment to convince trade unionists
and sympathizers that neutral atti-
tude is maintained.

Henry Ford Starts Five-Day Week

In the last few years former

cation.
Improved machinery, mass pro-

age so clearly sustain pioneers in
the cause of right.

definitely come to the conclusion
that it is contrary to the public
interest that associations of civil
servants should be affiliated to
outside industrial and political or
ganizations, and intend, In due
course, to introduce legislation to
deal with the matter"
Another attack is aimed at the un-
ions method of collecting funds for
political activities. Any member may
be exempt from this political levy on
signing a form prepared by the gov
ernment.
This permits any one to decline
paying for labor representation, but
the Tories would now provide that no
shall pay the assessment un-
less he or she has signed a special
form asking permission to pay it.

Change of Climate
Little Aid to I. B.

New Haven, Conn.-The theory
that change of climate is the chief
factor in the cure of tuberculosis was
denied by DR.. Allen K Krause, tuber-
culosis specialist at John Hopkins
university, in an address before the
Medical Congress.
eve know Of hundreds of cases
which have been arrested or cured
without patients going to a particu-
lar climate" said DIR. Krause. "What
generally happens, when a patient
does change the climate, is the same
as what happens when any sick per-
son is in new surroundings. His mind
is taken from his own illness, and in
this way change of climate is bene-
ficial."

Organized labor can again say:
"We told you So"
For half century the workers
insisted that shorter hours\ bring
social development and increased
production at less cost.
The eight-hour day has been
established and still lower hours
are urged. Henry Ford now an
nounces five-day week without
wage cuts.
The workers efforts to reduce
hours is a tragic story of suffer
ing and sacrifice. They were rid
iculed, enjoined and jailed.
Wherever they were not strong
enough to take shorter hours, the
request was answered by every
resistance at the command of en-
nloyers.

results wholesale destruction of the

CITY'S TAX LEVY
CUT / 3-4 Mills;
Saving OF $4,000

Reduction of one and three-quarter
mills, equivalent to a saving Of
$4,000, was made in the 1927 tax
levy for the City of BOzeman by the
city commissioners at their regular
meeting last Friday night.
The cut was made in the general
fund levy, which was reduced two
mills, but a part Of this was offset
by an increase Of One-quarter mill in

SHOWERS DELAY
HARVESTING BUT
AID LATE CROPS
About so Per Cent of Wheat
Is Cut and Considerable
Threshing Already Done

HELENA. - With harvesting Of
spring and winter wheat about so per
cent complete in the earlier wheat
producing areas and considerable
threshing done, some delay was Oc-
casioned by rains during the week
ended August IA, according to the
crop report issued by the state de
vision of publicity in cooperation
with the federal division of crop es-
Inmates.
Nineteen of the 26 counties report
ing for the weekly period indicate
rains varying from light showers 10
1.25 inches. Cool nights and general
" cloudy days, with showers, have
added materially to the possibility Of
increased yields in late maturing
wheat. With the exception Of areas
suffering from a continued dry ccndi-
ton, the tame and wild hay crop is
reported as fair to good. Late rains
have aided a third crop Of alfalfa in
making a good growth.
Livestock continues to move to
market, especially from areas where
an arid condition has persisted. Sheep
are rapidly being shipped to winter
feed in these sections Of the state
and lamb sales are heavy.
Wheat yields are somewhat better
than anticipated, especially on sum-
mer fallOwed ground. Some counties
show from II to 30 bushels on irri-
q: ond summer fallowed land wit
some yields as high as 45 bushels
Spring blowing, stubble ground anC
corn ground show production of from
to Is bushels.
Slight Improvement in corn pros
poets is indicated with some countie,
reporting a very light yield due tt
lack of moisture Seed peas show
about normal. The potato crop il
generally reported as only a fair yielt
in prOa~oct, while the certified ~otat
crop will be somewhat larger thai
last year.
Decreased demands on the labo
offices at Great Falls and Bainvill
indicate that the labor supply is we.
balanced with the exception of west
eru counties, where men have bee
taken from farm work to fight fores
fires.

STATES WHEAT CROP is
ESTIMATED AT 45,34S,OOO BUSHELS
Figure Is 2,S86,OOO Bushels Over
Outlook of Month Ago
Other Crop Forecasts

A total wheat crop for the state Of
45,348,OOO bushels is forecast for
Montana by the August 1 crop report
issued by J. G.. Diamond, agricultural
statistician for the State-Federal
Crop Reporting service. The wheat
forecast compares with 42,962,OO0
bushels, the outlook cf a month ago;
1901 900 bushels, the crop of 1925;
the crop of 1924 of 51,799,0OO bush
els; the state record Of 52,714,O00
bushels in 1922, and the five-year av-
erage production Of 47,732,000 bush
els.
While noting a slight reduction in
winter wheat from the forecast Of a
month ago, due to many failures in
the eastern end of the state, the
spring wheat forecast more than off
set this loss, according to the report,
which finds a very satisfactory condi-
ton in the important central, south
central, and northeastern grain Sec
tiOns of the state against a very poor
crop generally in a large area in east
central and southeastern Montana.
Corn Crop Less
The states corn crop, considering
the large acreage in eastern Montana
where heat and dry weather effects
were more pronounced, is now rated
below beth the outlook Of a month
ago and last years crop. The flax
crop, grown almost wholly in the
eastern third Of the state, also de-
Perforated. Other crops show mixed
changes, according to the report
which notes slight Improvements in
oats, rye, barley and tame hay pros
! poets and slight losses in potatoes and
beans. Sugar beets now indicate 9
yield per acre slightly better than IL
tons, against an outlook last montl
slightly below this average. Apples
now promise a crop of 100000 bush
