GREET LEADERS
FROM WHOLE U. S.
TO PARTY SCHOOL
20 Students Will Take
Intensive Training

Twenty leaders of the Workers
Party, arriving from every district
Of the country for the three month
National Day Training Course of the
Workers School. will be officially
welcomed at the concert and mas
meeting next Wednesday, February
8, at p. M, at Irving Plaza Hall,
Irving Pl. and 18th st.
The Workers Party is preparing t.
establish new districts and extend its
influence among new sections of the
American working class. From every
section of the country, leading com
rades have been called from their du-
ties as organizers or agitprop direc-
tors, to be given three months full
time intensive training course in the
Workers School, and practice in the
methods of conducting party work
by actual participation in the c. E. c.
and District Committees activities.
These comrades will receive tut
ton, text books and supplies free of
charge, and during the period of
training, they will be maintained at
the expense of the Party and the
Workers School. In return, they have
pledged themselves to devote their
LIES work to the movement. "
1t will tax the financial resources of
the Party and the school to the ut
most, but the Importance of the job
cannot be accomplished. 1t is also
an indication of the strength and vi
tally of the movement and its I'M
shaken determination to achieve its
destined aim.
The meeting at the Irving Plaza is
expected to bring together the lead
ing elements of the Party. An excel
lent concert program is being ar
ranged and the best known Party
leaders in addition to several of the
students will speak.

DAILY WORKER, were also used
The first letter under the fake
letterhead of the Communist Interna-
tional, signed -. P" and supposed to
be from John Pepper, is about the
crudest of the two and very obviously
was manufactured in the United
States. Aside from the falsity of the
contents, this letter marked Moscow"
has for its letterhead cu6 lifted from
the old English edition of the official
organ of The Communist Interna-
tional. in it's old form as a monthly
magazine.
The Ruthenberg Letter.
The second short note signed &c.
f. R." bears very crudely copied seal
Of the Workers Party of America"
and was purported to have come with
a long document, also obviously
forged, which went into imaginary de-
tails as to the procedure that the
Hungarian revolution should follow,
including all kinds of fantastic in
struction about the organization of
armed revolts, etc.
The clumsy hand which forged this
long letter of instruction, has set the
precedent of having such instructions
first sent "to the American Party
for approval"
Another little slip was made by
Nosowitsky and his gang when they
forged the seal workers Party of
America" the name of the Party be-
| ing changed to workers (Commun-
| ist) Party at a convention some
months previous to the date on the
letter. This, added to the crudeness
of the faxed handwriting and sigma
ture meant for C. e. Ruthcnberg
makes the whole job pretty poor
one.
On the back of one of the letters
passing between the Kron Detective
Agency and Nosowitsky are few
handwritten words which give further
proof of the connections between the
Horthy regime and this forgery mil
in America.
The handwriting reads:
Attention Nosowitsky, mus,
again ask you that the shipment OF
the M. G. be attended to without un-
due delay"
The Horthy government, hard UP
for evidence on which to convict
Rakosi and his comrades, was press
ng his agents in America for the
forged letters which were soon forth
coming. Such forged documents have
been flowing from the United States
into Hungary in steady stream, with
the Hungarian minister in Washing
ton acting as an intermediary. These
papers were not only used in the case
of Rakosi and the AZ comrades prose
cuted with him, but some so other
workers were arrested on the same
grounds.
Tomorrow we will print a forged
map which was used as the most dam
aging evidence against arrested
workers in Hungary.

FIND LOST SUBMARINE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
The navy has at last found its missing
submarine SO, sister ship of the S-4
which sunk off the coast of Massachu-
setts, of which nothing had been
heard for couple of days. The ship
was discovered cruising at random in
the direction of Cuba, with wireless
gone. Wives and children Of the crew
had been kept in suspense while naval
officials looked around for the mis-
placed boat.

mittee meeting held in New York or
March %. A subcommittee of the
Bar Association Commerce COMMITTEES
was appointed to confer with the
Federation committee and to develop
a legislative program. The sub-com-
mittee consisted of Julius Cohen, Hol-
lis r. Bailey, and Thomas w. Davis
The first conference was held in New
York, April 25 and &c.
The tederation's committee found
an attitude of genuine desire to con-
slider facts and find a constructive
plan for adjusting the difficulties that
arise in industrial relations. The dis
cussions of the joint committee have
thus resulted in agreement on pro-
cedure.
The report of the Standing Com
nlittee on Commerce to the American
Bar Association meeting held in Buff
falo, beginning August 81, 1927, con-
tanned the following:
-. /. The Subcommittee reports
that it believes that progress has
been made in a better understand
ing of the difficulties of the prob
lens involved, but that it will take
some time to give full consideration
to all the questions that will have
to be discussed, both of law and of
policy, before a full report can be
made. 1t feels very much en-
couraged and believes that the time
is now opportune for arriving at an
understanding. 1t believes that, in
addition to the representative of
Labor, it will be necessary to confer
wit employers throughout the
country, and it hopes. if the COM
mittee is permitted to continue it's
work during the coming year, to
have a"more definite report to make
next year.
We recommend that the Fedora
tons committee continue this most
important work.

BROTHER OF VICE
PRESIDENT IS IN
TEAPOT SCANDAL
Standard Oil Too Moves
Darkly in Background

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81.
he reopened Teapot Dome oil fraud
investigation before Senate commit
ZEE had not gone on for more than
two hours today when some big names
become hopelessly entangled in the
story of maze of graft and high
finance surrounding the strange
transaction of the Continental Oil Co.,k
the Sinclair dummy corporation,
whose Single and sole act of business
in its whole career was to sell to other
Sinclair companies oil (Which it did
not have at the tinne) for $3,000,000
more than the market price.
Dawes "Sick."
The most prominent of these names
was that of B. G. Dawes, brother of
the vice-president of the United
States, who had been subpoenaed to
tell what he knew of the strange deal,
which accumulated money part of
which has been traced to the private
bank account Of Secretary of the In
terror Albert B. Fall, at the time when
he granted the fraudulent lease Of
Teapot Dome oil reserve to Harry F.
Sinclair.
Dawes didn't testify. He was re-
ported sick.
Standard Oils Part.
Another name was that of Robert
w. Stewart, chairman of the board
of the Standard Oil of Indiana, whose
part in the mysterious "sale" of oil
was until recently unknown. He is
supposed to testify tomorrow. Already
correspondence of the Continental Oil
Co. shows that both Sinclair and
Stewart were active promoters of the
deal. 1t is suggested here that part
of the 100000 slush fund was to
bride the Standard of Indiana into a
position of Glands off"
Other sections of the Standard Oil
have undoubtedly been active in get
ting the Sinclair lease revoked, and
criminal proceedings against the Sim
clair-Fall partnership started.
It was also brought out by the tes-
timony of J. D. Clark, President of
the Midwest Refining Co., that H. S.
Osler, president of the Continental
(the dummy company was trustee
of the Standard Oil of Indiana, hold
ing the voting stock certificates in a
deal in which the Standard bought the
Midland.
Such Memory.
j. D. Clark, and A. L. Carlson, Sec
rotary of the Sinclair Crude Oil Com
pany, were on the stand but both de-
veloped faulty memories when ques-
toned on important angles of the
deal.
Carlson's memory failed after he
told of signing a $90,000,000 con-
tract with the Continental that was
going to cost the stockholders of his
company $3,00O,000 more than if the
oil were bought direct. He could not
explain this contract, constantly de-
claring he could not remember.
Clark claimed that the officers Of
the Midwest Company knew nothing
about the Continental deal = even
though H. M. Blackmer, then the Mid
west president, helped to negotiate it.
Blackmer since fled to Europe to es-
cape testifying in the oil cases.

sible cooperation.
The resolution of the assembly
however, was amended by a trick
paragraph which will have the effect
Of giving the republican legislature
the final say in the investigation now
beginning. The amendment provides
that If the governors investigation
should continue beyond the life of the
present legislative session, the data
must be turned over TO the legislat-
i've committee for final disposition.
Republican Trick
In other words, it is pointed out,
the republicans wish to have the last
word in what shall be done with the
report of DR.. Lindsay Rogers, the gov
ernor's investigator.
Informed observers agree that con-
siderable data has already been I'M
earthed to prove that the Tammany
controlled state labor department is
aoneyeombed with corruption. Smart
ing under various revelations of
graft being disclosed by AL Smiths
Investigations of republican admins
tration of office, the Knapp case be-
ing one in point, the republicans, in
turn, have sought to make public the
existence of graft in democratic adj
ministration. For this purpose it was
attempted several weeks ago to launch
Wholesale investigation by the In
iustrial Survey Commission. The
life and powers of the commission
we're accordingly extended by the re-
publican controlled legislature.
Smith Hits Back.
Al Smiths reply was brief and to
the point: eff you attempt this" he
answered by deeds, if not exactly in
words, 81 will proceed to rake up a
little mud which you republicans have
been wallowing in. If the POI begins
% call the kettle black, then the kettle
can reply with a few pointed re-
marks" Smiths answer was the APP
pointment of DR.. Lindsay Rogers to
carry on an independent" inves5iga-
ton.
For over two weeks the republicans
were in quandary as to what atti-
tude to take. Discretion was finally
decided upon as the better part of
valor and the answer was that they
would cooperate" with the govern
or's Investigation"
Hints at Republican Graft.
In the light Of these facts the Oft
repeated statement of Rogers at the
opening session of the investigation
on Monday to the effect that the in
vestigation would not be limi.ed to
the. data unearthed by the republican
controlled Survey Commission, is be-
ing interpreted as holding a club over
the heads of the republicans.
Yesterdays amendment by the SEN
ate to the resolution of cooperation"
is the last attempt of the republicans
to gain the upper hand in the game
of political football. Observers be-
lieve that compromise viii be work
ed out between the contending forces
inasmuch as both have everything to
fear from a real investigation.

boys and girls are required to write

say, written by Warren Schoneman,
one Of the boys whose pig placed
high in the recent contest, was
ranked as the best essay submitted.
The maximum grade of ten points
was given this account which tells
how a fine pig was raised.
Mr.. Loveland gave me some good
advice when | went over to get my
pigs, Mr.. Creighton and our leader,
Mr.. Bowden, gave me some more.
Then they sent me some real
pointers from Berkeley and Wash
ington, D. G.
So | started out with good pigs
and good advice. All L had to do
was feed my pigs and watch them

corner of their pen, in another
some wood ashes and charcoal L
found around the place.
They liked both the lime and
charcoal. "+"a
I'm going to do the job over

I would like to get q couple of

er played two brilliant par rounds
over the Royal st. George ) course,
Playing as steady as clockwork
while his more tcmperamental rivals
cracked and later stepped smilingly
up to receive the historic cup from
the hands Of the Prince Of Wales.
1t was at this same Sandwich
course that Hagen first won the
british open in 1922 with an ag.
eregate of 800. lie won again at
Doylake in 1924 with 301.
Little Gene Sarazcn Of New
York, was close at Hagen S heels
with an aggregate Of 294.
Gene started the final round one
stroke behind the new champion
but where Hagen continued to reel
off hole after hole in par figures,
Sarazen was unequal to the task.
Needing a II to tie, Sarazen
took 73, which left him with a
total Of two strokes behind Hagen.
Sarazen Flights Hard
Sarazen S game flight for second
place, however, compared favorably
with the last round efforts of Wild
Bill Mchlhorn and Jose Jurado, both
Of whom cracked and went to pieces.
Leading Hagen by three strokes
when the days play started, little
.lurado from Ruenos Aires blew up
and lost l. strokes to the new
title holder, finishing with rounds
Of 76 and 50 for total of 301.
Jim Barnes, who won the British
open in 1928, was too far behind to
catch Hagen, but turned in rounds
Of 1913 to tie Jurado at sol.
Mehlhorn 5 play today was ex-
tremcly erratic and he finished with
76.77 for total of 302.
Archie Compston, British pro-
fcssional, who defeated Hagen so
soundly at match play last month,
led the home-breds with a total
of 295, three strokes behind Hagen
and Il stroke behind Sarazen.

desk today, the police commission
having dismissed charges of ineffic-

James Davis.
The commission required only
five minutes to bring in its verdict
that jackson was not guilty. More
than a score of witnesses testified
for and against the officer.
Chief Davis told the commission
he suspended Jackson only because
Of the charges of vice conditions
made by Il morning newspaper. Rep
resentatives Of that newspaper tes-
titled that such vice conditions eX-
isted, but stated they held no brief
for jackson and were interested
only in ridding the city Of gambling
