FALL, SINCLAIR
TRIAL FOR OIL
CRAFT STARTED
Half-Hearted Attempt
to Prosecute Pair

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE first
day of the trial of Harry F. Sinclair,
oil magnate, and Albert B. Fall, sec
rotary Of interior in the Harding cab
met, was frittered away in the ex-
animation of prospective jurors. Fall
and Sinclair are being tried in the
criminal branch of the supreme court
Of the District of Columbia, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent in connection with the lease
Of the Teapot Dome Naval Reserve oil
field inlWyoming.
Twenty-six veniremen were exam
ined, using up the first panel. At least
another day will be spent in the selec-
ton Of jurymen, it is expected.
Half-hearted Prosecution.
Altho the trial comes on the heels
of the decision of the United States
supreme court that the Teapot Dome
lease was "shot thru with fraud and
corruption" it is regarded as unlikely
that either Fall or Sinclair will be
convicted
with millions of dollars at his COM
mand, Sinclair has purchased the SER
vices of shrewd lawyers. The half
hearted manner in which the govern
ment has been pushing the case is
also regarded as pointing to the ac-
quittal of the pair.
Big Graft.
Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Rob
erts, special counsel for the govern
ment, will make an especial effort to
prove that Sinclair diverted to Fall
some $230,5O0 of the profits Of the
defunct Continental Trading Company
of Canada, in exchange for which Fall
turned over to Sinclair the lease on
the Teapot Dome reserve.

six months after the end of the con-
vention?" asked Boudin. 81 don't
know" was Sigman's answer.
"Do you mean to tell me that you,
as president of the organization and
who presided do not know who intro
duced such an important notion"
Sigman then started to read the
book of minutes and mumbled for
several minutes. He then admitted
that the sponsors for the motion to
wait six months were not in the book.
Defense counsel, however, did not
find in the book mention of a substi-
tute motion introduced by julius
Portnoy, left wing delegate calling
for the vote to be taken within 80
days.
Boudin then asked Sigman if at the
last hearing held the previous Tues
day at the 57th St. he had not adj
mitted that the motion passed by
the convention called for vote with
in six months. when you saw
misprint in the minute book you de-
cided to take advantage of it," Bou-
din charged.
On the question of the peace treaty
that was signed at the convention at
which the 70 suspended left wing
leaders were reinstated, Sigman
tried to brush it aside as compare
lively unimportant
Sigman at first tried to create the
impression that it was not a victory
for the left wing. 1t was then brot
out that after the convention the left
wingers were elected to the leading
positions in the New York Joint
board, including Hyman as manager
in spite of the fact that they
had been suspended several months
previous by the right wingers.
1t was brot out in the testimony
that Sigman was member of the
]. w. w. at the time the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union was
in existence. These were the years
1905 to 1908.
Socialists Once Attacked.
Boudin tried to bring out before he
ruled out of order by the magistrate,
that charges similar to those made
by Sigman against the Workers
(Communist) Party were leveled
against the socialist party many
years ago by Samuel Gompers. Also
that most of the associates of Sigman
today in his struggle against the left
wing are members of the socialist
party.
The hearing will be resumed at
1870 a. m. today in the same court
room.

the coal and iron and water-power in
terests centering in this city.
The recent floggings which have
aroused nationwide attention are an
extension Of the anti-union and anti
Negro campaign the chief incidents of
which have been listed above.
Today, under the beneficent aus
pieces of the Coolidge administration,
the justification of all southern basic
Iindustries-water power, coal, iron and
steel, railways and chemicals-is be-
ing encouraged.
Organization Demanded.
But the rapid industrialization of
the southern working class, both Ne
gro and white, is bringing demand
for organization. The labor movement
in the North must understand that the
terroristic activities conducted by the
kland and by other agencies of the
southern capitalist classes have little
if any other purpose than to per-
petuate and bring into the centralized
industry which now dominates the
remnants of pre-war agriculturalism,
the feudalism and anti-Negroism
which this old system typified.
1t is in this light that all stories
of rape, ("insulting of white women")
and righteous indignation" expressed
by white mobs must be interpreted.
Negroes Want Assistance.
Against the Negro population, now
being rapidly industrialized, are used
to the same methods with which white
workers who go on strike in northern
industrial sections, notably in the coal
mining and steel districts, are familiar.
The Negro population here, prob
ably more than the white workers, are
DESTROYS of securing assistance in or
ganizing as a section of the American
labor movement. Because of the cir
cumstances under which they labor,
and because of the traditional hostil-
ity of the southern ruling class, their
appeal for sympathy and aid should
be accorded the exceptional considera-
ton given by all labor movements to
their members who are in the hands
of their class enemies.

has expressed strong disapproval Of
the actions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention in their red
batting campaign against Communist
delegates and visitors. He declared,
II do not agree with the Communists
and their tactics, but no labor official
has the right to collaborate with the
police as they have done to prosecute
Communists who have criticisms to
make of the A. F. of L. Detectives
have no place in the labor movement.
Attack Cleaners and Dyers.
The Industrial Association of San
Pedro, powerful organization of the
shipping interests which broke the
/. w. w. seamen's strike, has issued
circular letter, instructing the clean
ing and dyeing plants to refuse to
deal with the Cleaners and Dyers
Union as long as it is headed by
Communist organizer.
Disappointed at Not Hearing Maurer.
Many delegates and local labor Of
ficials express their keen disappoint-
ment that James Maurer did not
come to the "A. F. of l.. convention to
give report of the delegation which
just returned from the Soviet Union.
Despite the daily attacks on the Com
munists which came with monotonous
regularity, it was noticed that none of
the speakers directly spoke against
the recognition of the Soviet Union.
Find Communists" Resolution.
A progressive resolution could no
more get any consideration before the
convention of the A. F. of L. which
closed Friday than a camel could get
thru the eye of needle. The comical
fear of the officials that some Red

trated in the fate of a resolution in

Unions of Seattle and Los Angeles.
For some time the A. F. of L. had
been petitioned by these two locals to
change the name of Stenographers,
Typewriters, Bookkeepers and Assist
ants Union to Stenographers, Typists,
etc, on the theory that typewriters
referred to a machine, and typists to
the white-collared slave that worked
on it.
The "Plot."
All attempts failing, resolution
to that effect was introduced into the
convention, and was considered by
Matthew VOLTS resolutions commit
tee. The committee pondered for
long time on the proposition, prob
ably porting over many dictionaries
to find sufficient authority for the
revolutionary change.

SUE TO PREVENT
Jim CROW" LAW
IN GARY SCHOOL
Negro Parents Not
Heared at Council Meet

GARY, Ind, Oct. IA group Of
residents of Gary who do not want to
see the vicious "Jim Grow" statute for
separate schools for Negro children be
sustained have filed suit against the
city council to enjoin the city Off
Gals from actually spending the s15,-
600 recently appropriated for that
purpose.
Inspired Strike,
e The Jim Grow" decision of the
council was the result of so-called
strike of pupils of Emerson High
School. Accusations are made that
this demonstration, called by the
pupils "strike" was the result Of
activity by white business interests
and directed by the Ku Klux Khan.
Emerson High School is in the dis
trict inhabited by mill bosses, store
keepers, and the business men gener-
ally.
A redistricting was demanded by
these white residents, so as to exclude
colored pupils from the school, but
this was changed finally to demand
for segregation Of the colored students
in the district.
The school board and the city coun-
Gil agreed rapidly to this plan, and
jammed thru an ordinance appropriate
ing the money without hearing any
of the Negro parents assembled in
the galleries at the council meeting
and demanding to be called to testify.

are forced, against will, perhaps, to call cowardice. There is that quality which makes a boy timid when he is subjected to punishment and there is more serious feeling, a pan ic, that takes the fight clear out of others
 Timid fighters can be cured be- cause 1t is more often lack of confi- dence in themselves that makes them timid. When they get to be better boxers they become less tim id. But the real coward never can be cured and has no place in the ring.
 1 care across a typical case one time in St. Louis when I obtained permission to interview 8 prisoner in the death house who was to be executed in two days. I wanted to talk to a man who was about to die and get some ideas on his philoso- phy. The result of the interview did me more harm than good as I felt had all the symptoms of cow ardice I saw in him-a bold front, a surface indication of bravery, and a faltering heart underneath.
 It took me years to get out of 1t before I found myself.
 John l.. Sullivan and the original Jack Dempsey were afraid of noth- ing and there are some fighters to- day of the same winning fearless disposition. There are others whose gameness, downright gameness, un- derstand. we all question.
 About this time several fights were arranged for me in Williams burg and had chance to meet the famous Jake Hyams, an Englishman who created a great splurge when he visited this country because he had beaten Jem Carney and claimed not only the title Of Great Britain but also the world-until we fought.
