Lest some reader looking for
trouble might assume from the fore
going that the writer entertains any
illusions about the political sincerity
of Borah, another paragraph is nec-
essary. Borah is one of those who
voted against the proposed child la
Dor law. On many occasions he has
voted for the administration reac-
tionary measures. As chairman of
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations he could arouse the masses
against the rape of Nicaragua, the
threat of war with Mexico and the
dispatching of armed forces to China.
He confines his activities to con-
cressional speeches and to a proposed
investigation that could not be fin
ished until the flag of Wall Street
floated over Nicaragua. The fact
that the administration is going right
ahead indicates that Borah's opposi-
ton is not taken seriously. If Borah
wants to prove his sincerity he can
do so. Let him arrange a nation
wide tour boldly attack the Coolidge
administration and call on the mas
ses to prevent the conquest of Mica
ragua by Wall Street.

T.V.O'COnnOrIs
Charged Here
With Graft
Living Off Standard Oil
Money, Suit Asserts

L. V. O'Connor, former president
of the International LOngshoremen's
Association, was charged with par
ticipation in s1,6OO,OOO Standard Oil
graft yesterday in United States Dis
trict Court.
As chairman of the United States
Shipping Board, a soft berth given
him by President Harding in return
for political favOrs in the 1920 cleo
ton, O'COnnor is accused of bene-
fitting personally from a shipping
board deal with the Tidewater Oil
Co., a Standard Oil subsidiary. Since
the contamination of the deal, O'COn-
nor "has been living r. fashion
wholly unsuited to his presumptive
Means" asserts the suit filed by a
taxpayer here.

of the most reactionary and influ-
entail international officials in the
entire American Federation of La
Dor. lie broke at least two big strikes
of New York waterfront workers and
participated in shady German deal
at the beginning Of the war.
John c. Hackett, former deputy
police commissioner, filed the tax
payers suit in federal court yester-
day in an effort to break up the
Observation-Disclosures Oil deal. Through
a subsidiary, the Tidewater Terminal
Co., the sil outfit leases to the ship
ping boards four arr, hssas which it
owns. The bases are located at Phila-
delphia, Boston, Brooklyn and Nor
folk. Hackett wants the leases de-
clared void by the court.
Sons Also Benefit.
William and Stephen O'Cohnor,
sons Of T. ". both are being scared
for" by the Tidewater Company,
Hackett asserts. William is on the
payroll while Stephen acts as go-be-
tween for his father.
The action asks for a ruling from
the court declaring the leases void,
and an order demanding the appear
ance Of the defendants, including
O'Connor, in court for questioning.
The suit charges that the shipping
hoard has received S1,600,000 in reve-
rue from the Tidewater Company,
and has paid out $1,575,000 for re-
pairs and upkeep. 1t further charges
that the board has extended undue
favoritism' to Carl B. Miller, named

"A writer usually labors in front of
his dictathone with a cake of ice on
: his brow, judging by the clammy
fare that is served up to Mr.. Ochs'
customers in the editorial columns of
the young lady of Times Square. But
there are times when Mr.. Ochs' hired

rescue of hard-pressed reactionary.
In the Times of February %, Senator
Borah is bounced upon for introduce
ing resolution which would author
ize the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to visit Mexico and Mica

Coolidge did not like the idea.
Neither did Kellogg. Neither did the

mittee meddling with the manner in
which the state department conducts
Wall Streets affairs? "But this is
a republic" the amazed citizen may
observe, and Coolidge is not a mon

the senate as a nuisance only when
the sid senate parks its collective
brain in the chair and remains silent
