SINCLAIR CLAIMS
HAD RIGHT TO Be
SILENT IN QUIZ
Would Upset Powers of
Senate Committees

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
defense counsel of Harry F. Sinclair,
oil operator on trial for contempt be-
cause he refused to answer questions
asked in connection with the frauds
charged in the Teapot Dome oil lease,
is trying to set up the principle that
senate investigation committees can
not compel answers to "non-pertinent"
queries.
The inquisitorial authority of con-
gressional committees is attacked in
the principal contention Of the de-
fense-that no witness summoned be-
fore a senate or house committee may
be compelled to testify relative to
matters he deems to be beyond the
scope of the legislative question be-
fore the investigating body.
Trial His Excuse.
Sinclair's refusal to answer seven
questions conferred upon the Teapot
Dome leasing negotiations with for
mer secretary of the interior, Albert
B. Fall, in 1922, are justified, in the
defense argument, by the fact that
the Sinclair leases already were un-
der fire in the Wyoming federal
courts when he last appeared before
the senate committee. The unan-
swered questions, the defense con-
tends, involved matters directly con-
cerned in the~court proceedings then
under way.
.. Jury Not To Decide.
The government won a major if not
a decisive victory in the ruling of JUS
tice William Hitz, presiding, that the
issue OF ''pertinence arising in con-
nection with the unanswered questions
was one Of law, to be decided by the
court in his instructions to the jury,
rather than one of fact, to be deter
mined by the jurors themselves from
the evidence. This question has never
before been determined in the federal
courts. 1t was the foundation stone
of the Sinclair defense.

Treasury Investigates
Charge Big Companies
Violating Revenue Law

WASHINGTON, March 1I.-An
investigation has been started by
the treasury to determine whether
or not big corporations are viOlat-
ing the revenue laws by placing
unauthorized funds in their accu-
mulative SURPRISES for the purpose
of defrauding the government.
So far number of cases have
been discovered that approached
the danger line Of law violation,
it was said at the treasury today.
Secretary Mellon takes the posi-
ton that the law does not mean
that corporations shah distribute
ali of their earnings, but that some
funds may be placed for the credit
Of surplus.
A fifty percent penalty is pro-
vided in the revenue laws against
corporations which place money in
surplus funds for the purpose of
cvading the income tax.

COAL MINED is
FAR AHEAD OF
USUAL DEMANDS
1OO.OOO,OOO Tons More
Than Last IL Months

Coal production keeps galloping
ahead of all reasonable demand
Despite just middling industrial ac-
tivity and very mild weather for the
late winter months, production is
still the highest on record in the last
seven years. Production last week
was 100000 tons over the similar
week of 1926. Nevertheless there is
a slow and steady decline from 49,
100000 tons in the mid-February
week to 12,750,OOO last week. The
nervous line on the Bureau of Mines
chart viii sag down badly within a
few more weeks as the situation
ahead of the industry becomes clear
err.
Production in the coal year March
l, 1926, to February %, 1927, is no.
100000 tons ahead of the similar Pc
riod for the previous twelfthmonth
This surplus represents in good
measure the extra coal dug to help
break the British strike and to Law
up reserves against the prospective
American strike. To visualize the
figures, here they are for the "coaI
years" ending with February. as ex-
planned above:

WASHINGTON, March IL A
drive to boost American foreign trade
over the $1O,0OO,OOO,OOO mark an

tary of Commerce Hoover.
Forecasting exports of close to 3d.
000,0O0,000 and imports of about

New Posts Abroad.
New foreign trade posts were an

Ala, Jacksonville, Fla, and Kansas
City.
HoOver's Net Work.
With establishment of the new
posts and others in the Far East,
Latin America and Europe, now I'M
der consideration, the United States
will have network of foreign trade
offices extending to virtually every
quarter of the globe. These "out-
posts Of trade" are charged with
keeping American manufacturers
and exporters il touch with the de-
mands of every market, thus fur
nishing outlets for surplus goods to
form a general prosperity stabilizer.
In addition to the new posts the
department plans an increase in the
commercial staffs in the important
offices at London, Berlin, Rome,
Buenos Aires and other capitals.
Where the posts are located in ma
tional capitals the appointees will
rank as commercial attaches; other

American
Economic Life
BY WALLPROI.
West Virginia Gains
100000 Tons Since
1923; Still Increasing
BY WALLPRoL.

One millions tons of coal week
is an immense figure. That is four
times as much as all New England
consumes each week. Only four
states produce that much or more.
But West Virginia has increased
that much in the last four years.
Actually, West Virginia produced
last week 100000 more tons Of coal
than in the corresponding week Of
1923. Look at the respective fig
ures:
1928 .1,780,000 tons
1927 ....... .2,940, 900 tons
That means 100000 tons a year
increase, or one tenth of the entire
annual production of the United
States. Compare West Virginia with
the other three million ton a week
states, in average February weekly
production:
1923 1927
Pennsylvania 100000 3,375,O0O
West Virginia ..1,78O,OOO 3,15O,OOO
Illinois .....1,975,000 100000
Kentucky $3.50. 775,O00 100000
Pennsylvania, half union and half
non-union, has increased but little,
considering the heavy national pro-
duction figures. West Virginia, en-
tirely non-union, has leaped ahead
1,370,000'a week in four years, or 70
per cent. Illinois has barely held
her own, while non-union Kentucky
has almost doubled production.

ures of the union-wrecker Lewis and
the corrupt officialdom of the United
Niue Workers.!
