American boys are regular fel- lows," New Britain's six young Dan ish guests emphatically told Gov ernor John H. Trumhull when he re- ceived them in his executive offices at the State Capitol in Hartford yesterday afternoon. When the gov- ernor asked them If they found that the boys Of this country answered this description, all six nodded vigor- ously and exclaimed, "Oh. yes. sir!"
 The governor told them that he was greatly interested in boys and had had many contacts with them. also that he supposed boys were the same the world over. They are all trying to make something of them- selves and get ahead in the world. Governor Trumbull said, adding that the first trait necessary for this was character-honesty, so that their word might be accepted whenever it was given.
 He gave his unqualified approval of the movement for world friend ship in which the present group is pioneers and expressed his belief that such interchanges of boys would lead to much better friendship be- tween European and American na- tions. He congratulated the six youths on being among the first to come over to this country in such 2 worthwhile cause. The boys re- spo.Ged by singing their national anthem.
 Impressed by Ais Rides The American hostesses had their first req! difficulty with the young Danes yesterday morning when the group visited Brainard field. Each O. the boys was taken for an a!rplane ride by "Fre.chy" Deecomb. a.e the experience proved great thr!!! to al! the visitors, only one oe whom had eve. been up before.

CRAFT UNCOVERED
Former Secretary Fall
Got $4,000

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - For
mer secretary of the Interior, Albert
B. Fall, received no. less than S409,-
900 from the two oil magnates, Ed
ward L. Doheny and Harry F. Sin
clair, short time after the lease of
the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills naval
oil reserves, according to facts brot
out yesterday and today before the
senate committee Investigating the
disposal of certain liberty bonds
known to have been placed at the dis
posal of Fall.
M. 7. Everhart, son-in-law of Fall
sprang a sensation when he blandly
admitted on the stand that Harry F.
Sinclair, head of the oil concern that
bears his name, had given 20 Fall
$269,000 worth of liberty bonds, for
a share in a New Mexico ranch own
ed by Fall. This sum, added to the
amounts received from Doheny and
Sinclair previously brings the total
to S409,000 received for the $100,000,-
900 oil land grants made illegally un-
der the Harding Coolidge administra-
ton.
Everhart swore that Sinclair be-
came interested" in the project be-
cause Fall wanted to establish a
country club" for wealthy men in
New Mexico. Some improvements
were made on the property after the
Sinclair payment, he added, but the
improvements would have benefited

tie ranch, as it had been previously.

CHEATS MINERS
'Svanum Appeal NJ ay
Curb Commission Power

Especial to The Daily Worker.)
DENVER. G,olo,, JAM. z3.--Eyl-
dence practically forced before the
state industrial commission sitting In
Trinidad, Colorado, show awful con-
ditions existing in the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Co. mines IN the southern
field. The Colorado Fuel and iron is
owned by the Rockefeller fanny, anu
maintains a company union. 1t has
10 its credit the Ludlow and Waisen-
burg massacres.
Witness alter witness testifies THAI
a rotten graft exists in the Colorado
tuel & iron mines under the con-
tract system, and that favored con-
tractors get good contracts by brlD-
ing the superintendents.
The evidence shows that the Rookie
feller company is the worst employer
in the state in the mater OF no pay
for dead work, and delays in getting
supplies to the men. One witness
testified thai some days he averaged
only two hours work day, because
ne could not get cars.
The case of Kristen Svanum, or
ganizer for the l. W. W. who was con-
victed Monday of melting to strike
in a strike declared illegal by the in
dustrial commission will be appealed,
IN an effort to curb the present power
of the commission to declare strikes
illegal, and thus bring penalties OF a
year in prison for 'inciting to strike"
10 any workers who are active in
them. This law was first invented by
Mckenzie King, and brought TO Colo
RADIO after the Ludlow massacre to
save the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.'S
reputation.
Svanum was arrested Nov. in
Berwind Canyon and has been held
without bail in Jail ever since. Judge
A. c. McChensney will sentence him
some time during the week.

wife of Bentleyville miner, before a
mass meeting at Hunts Point Palace
last night. The meeting was held
under the auspices Iof the Women's
Miners Relief Committee.
Before the*Unitss MiiFe Workers
Union was organized in western Penn
sylvania," she said, "our men used to
work until late every night. But they
never made enough to feed their fam
lilies, so the women and children had
to work too. The miners went thru
terrible struggles to achieve the con-
ditions we had before the strike. Now
the mine owners want us to go back
to conditions of 25 years ago."
Labor Movement Concerned.
"They are trying to break our union
and make our men work for $3.50 a
day. What can family of ten do
with that pay?" asked the miners
wife.
Mrs. Getto pointed out that the vic
tory or failure of the miners strike
would affect the entire labor move
ment in America. For, she declared,
if the miners union is destroyed, the
bosses will start an open shop drive
in every other industry in the coun-
try.
"The women's auxiliary sent me
here to tell you that we count on you
to help US through this fight. We can
stand the abuse of the bosses, their
police, the cold, but we need food.
Many are sick, and we need medicine
'If you stand behind US, we will win
this strike!"
Ray Ragozin of the Teachers Union,
who presided at the meeting, declared
that the women collected $1,000 on
tag day and about $1,000 in small
donations within the last month, aside
from tons of clothing. The women,
