GALS CABINET
TOMAKE ALASKA
COOLIE COLONY
May Duplicate Teapot
Dome Steal

WASHINGTON, April IS. Up
Reorganization of federal government
activities in Alaska-the dream of the
Guggenheim interests which was
warmly supported by Albert Fall when
he was secretary of the interiors;
now proposed by Secretaries Hoover,
Jardine and Work, in a plan submitted
to congress.
Alaska's national forests are under
control of Jardine in the agriculture
department, her fisheries under Hoov-
er, in commerce, and her coal and
other mineral lands under Work, OF
the interior department. These three
members of Coolidge's cabinet propose
that congress endorse the scheme Of
readjustment of lines of federal juris-
diction in Alaska between their sew
eral departments, Ito prevent over
tapping" But they offer a further pro
vision that the president be empower
ed by congress to transfer services
from one department to another, later
on, by mere executive order.
It was by an executive order, IN
defiance Of law, that Fall induced
President Harding to hand over to
him Teapot Dome and the other naval
oil lands. By executive order, if this
bill were to become law, Coolidsa
could make Work or Hoover master
of Alaska, and under another clause
of the same bill an agent of the win
ner Of this elimination contest would
reside in Alaska, making all decisions
without referring them to Washington
Alaska would become a sort Of royal
province, whose local government
would have to make terms at every
point with the dictator of federal prop
critics which dominate the territory.

Two Booze Runners
Taken for Ride" by

Two bootleggers, who invaded the

trespass with their lives. This is the
explanation given by police on find
ing the bullet-riddled bodies of John
Tuccello and Frank De Laurentis in a

From Roman Duchovitz, owner Of a
south side bootleg joint, enough was
learned by the police to convince them
that these two booze runners had been
taken for a ride" by members of
the Saltis-M cErlane gang.
Tuccello and De Laurentis are said
to have been survivors of the Genna
gang, rival of Saltis-McErlane After
three OF the Gennas had been slain,
the gang was left leaderless and the
two men are said to have been free

COOLIDGE GANG
FEARS TO FACE
FALL ELECTIONS
Administration Is Badly
Defeated in Illinois
tspecIaI 70 La paIIy WORKED


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
The overwhelming defeat of United
States Senator William B. Mckinley,
Illinois traction magnate and support
er of the Morgan policies in the
senate, by Frank L. Smith, chairman
of the Illinois republican party and
president Of the Illinois commerce
commission, has caused great conster-
nation in the ranks Of the supporters
of the Coolidge administration.
In spite of all the attempts made by
newspapermen to have Coolidge make
statement on the Illinois primary
elections, Coolidge remain silent.
Gloom Settles over Capitol.
A heavy gloom has settled over the
Capitol. World court hackers, that
will have to face the primaries in 21
states in September, gathered In small
knots around the senate cloakrooms
discussing the blow received by the
Coolidge administration in Illinois. A
victory in Illinois primary campaign
for world court hackers was to be the
opening Of an intense campaign In
the 81 northern states where support
ers of the Coolidge administration and
the Morgan world court policy were
seeking reelection. Senator Deneen
of Illinois was to be in charge Of the
campaign.
Butler Must Change Tune.
From Senator Butler down to the low
est flunky Of the Coolidge machine in
the senate, they all declared that the
world court issue was the bunk" and
that Mckinley would be easily elect
ed" With Mckinley defeated they
tried to blame it on the factional fight
IN Cook county. This was easily
scotched as the election returns in
the downstate counties showed that
IN the farming districts the farmers
had voted heavily against Mckinley.
Fear Loss OF Supporters.
The Coolidge administration, which
has confidently prepared to enter into
national campaign for the re-elec.
ton of the administration supporters
in the senate, have been forced to
stop their campaign and plan a new
line of strategy. Fear pervades the
entire administration group. The loss
# eight supporters of the administra
ion means that the hands of the
oolidge gang will be tied for the next
wo years in the upper house. They
fear that the results Of the coming
elections will lead to an insurrection
n both houses against the policies
that the Wall Street bankers are try
ing to put over and would negative
every effort of the administration in
IS last two years.
Coolidge Backers Fear Farmers.
This fear is greatly strengthened
because Of the growing dissatisfac
ton with the administration among
the farmers. The farmers are becom
ing more and more restless as the ad
ministration has done very little Il
aid them in their present misfortune
Thousands of them have lost theil

COMMUNISTS
LEAD WORKERS
IN PARIS BATTLE
High Cost of Living
Brings Outbreak
lspeeIaI to rhe oaIIy Worker,

PARIS, April Is For hours last
night thousands of workers under the
leadership of the Communist Party of
France battled the police who were
trying to prevent demonstration for
wages commensurate with the high
cost of living. When the turmoil sub
sided count Of the injured showed
that contrary to the usual results, this
time 1t was the brutal gendarmes who
got the worst Of it. According to the
admission of the police department,
ten police we're wounded, six of them
seriously. Hundreds OF workers were
arrested. The demonstrators were
principally government employees and
railroad workers.
The militancy of the workers has
aroused the local bourgeois press to a
height of fury. The organs Of the
right are demanding harsh measures
of suppression against the Commun-
lists. The center warns that the men
ace Of the rapidly growing power OF
the Reds must be curbed by legal re-
strictions while the left groups In
Guiding the socialists prophecy that
the constitutional regime Is doomed
unless concessions ara made to the
workers. The Communists boldly de.
clare that the only way to end the
financial morass into which the coun-
try has fallen and to terminate the
colonial wars in Morocco and Syria
that are draining the nation both
materially and Of manpower Ia for
the workers to establish their dicta-
torship, in alliance with the poor
peasants who are also suffering from
the crisis.
Worse OF Than Ever.
The continued and rapid deprecia-
ton of the franc has resulted in the
cost Of living rising to five times the
pre-war level. As wages and salaries
have not kept pace, but today, accord
ing to statistics, are only about 80 per
cent above the pre-war standard, the
workers are being crushed down into
poverty. The slogan of "a moving
scale" has been raised as the basis
Of wage adjustments with the employ
ers. This scheme would set the wage
scale proportionate to the cost OF liv-
ing as shown by the monthly index
figures Of the ministry of labor.
Contributory to the recently notice
able movement of the masses to the
Communist banner has been the fail
ure Of the left coalition parties In par
lament to carry out their promises OF
higher wages and lower taxes. The
only result Of the left parliamentary
activity has been increased taxes,
with the further depreciation Of the
franc, leading in turn to q lowering
Of the wage earners' purchasing pow
er.
Communists Growing.
The Communist victory in recently
electing two deputies over the COM
bined opposition in this city has given
their movement great impetus. They
practically control of the Paris labor
unions, and their influence in the
other centers is growing.
