DEMOCRAT COMES
TOKNApP DEFENSE

ALBANY, N. Y, March 20.--A
democratic assemblyman, Louis Cuv-
illier of Manhattan, gallantly came to
the rescue of Mrs. Florence E. Knapp,
former republican secretary of state,
on the state assembly today and said
that charges of graft brought against
her could not be true.
81 have never doubted Mrs. Knapp's
honesty" said Cuvillier She may
have been guilty of some state cen
sus irregularities, but / don't believe
any jury will ever convict her" The
sudden tendency on the part of New
York democrats to gallantry towards
Mrs. Knapp is thought to Indicate the
democrats fear that republican mem
bers of the assembly may bring coun-
ter charges against democratic state
officials unless the Knapp charges are
soft-pedalled.

PROGRESSIVES TO
EXTEND STRUGGLE
ON CONTRACTING.
Warn Against Leaders
Without a Program

PITTSTON, March 20.--A strfzs
call against the individual contract
system of coal mining which win In
volve 10000 miners has been called
by Local 1903 and is now in forca.
Indications are that the strike may
spread to the whole anthracite re-
gion. Numbers of other sections
which are working under the indi-
vidual contract system and which are
at the point of open rebellion may
follow momentarily.
Beware of False Leaders.
Fifty thousand circulars have been
issued by the Tri-District "Save-the-
Union Committee" George Papcun,
secretary, warning the miners against
forces which will at this moment seek
to side-track their victorious march
and to play the game of the Lewis
Cappelini machine. Beware of op-
positionists who have no program"
is the warning Of the committee. At
the same time endorsement is made
Of the miners demands for a special
convention which is sought for April
l6.
In the onward sweep of the pro-
gressive miners against the Lewis
Cappelini machine, certain groups
headed by the former Brennan for
ces have been seeking to canitalize
The movement for their own purposes.
In a conference .Keld last Saturday
delegates from a number of locals
met at the call of this group. William
J. Brennan, former president Of Dis
trict 1, who is heading the move, has
made no indication as to his pro-
gram. nor has he definitely stated
his stand on Lewis and the Lewis
machine.
The statement by the Tri-District
Save-the- Union Committee follows:
miners, demand special conven-
ton. But beware of Oppositionists
who have no program.
'fThe time is now here to abolish
the infamous individual contract sys-
tenn. The first step in doing this is
to eliminate the Cappelini gang from
control of our union. They are agents
of the operators in maintaining the
contractor system. Our slogan shall

bribed to approve the project tho
knowing that the construction was
faulty, will be not heard.
1t will "strive only to ascertain the
exact causes of the dam break" the
commission composed of five engi-
neers announced.
Besides the loss of life, hundreds
of homes were destroyed and thou
sands of families made destitute when
the water Of the San Franciscquito
Canyon broke thru the st. Francis
dam.
Meanwhile another source of graft
and corruption is seen in the setting
aside of a fund Of $1,000,000 by the
Los Angeles city council for purposes
of reconstruction.

BRITAIN ATTACKS.
SOVIET PROPOSAL
FOR DISARMAMENT
Delegate of Empire at
Geneva Speaks

GENEVA, March 20. - Staggered
by reiteration Of the demand of the
Soviet Union for complete and i'm
mediate disarmament, Great Britain,
thru its representative on the pre-
paratory committee on disarmament,
Lord Cushendun, is attempting to
sidetrack discussion on the subject.
Evading the concrete proposals
made yesterday before the commits
sion by Maxim Litvinov, head of the
Soviet delegation, Cushendun today
tried to discredit them by declaring
that the Soviet Union had never
during the past seven years worked
with the League of Nations"
The Soviet plan, Cushendun de-
clared, sis designed to wreck the
League"
Quoting an article from what is
presumed to be Pravda, the British
spokesman charged that the real aim
Of the Soviet Union is to "unmask the
capitalistic states"
Bitter resentment against the Sow
let plan for disarmament was also ex-
pressed by the representative of Fas-
cism, General de Marinis Of Italy.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-It is
now five years since the unexplained
death of President Warren G. Hard
ing. The senate Teapot Dome inves-
tigation committee has decided it can
no longer avoid looking into the
private records of the estate of the
leader of the "Ohio gang" whom the
oil millionaires put in the White
House with Coolidge in 1920.
Chairman Nye, of the senate COM
nnittee, said today an investigator
would investigate Harding's records
from the time he became president
until he died. Reports have persist
emily been circulated to the effect
that Harding was among those who
profited personally from the Teapot
Dome oil lease and similar deals
through which the republican party
financed its last elections-the cleo
ton Of the Coolidge-Dawes hold-over
administration in 1924 as well as the
Harding Coolidge ticket in 1920.
Private Records Sought.
The senate committees agent
among other things will inquire into
the sale of the Marion Star, Hard
ing's newspaper. The agent has been
instructed to look through all records
for oil stocks or other securities
which might have been slipped to him
in the oil deals which have now in
volved all of the Coolidge-Harding
cabinet.

HORTHY EXPOSED
AT WHITE HOUSE
Coolidge Greets Hejjas,
Mass Murderer"

WASHINGTON, (FP) March 20.-
President Coolidge received at the
White House on March 10 the dele
cation sent over by the Horthy
terrorist in Hungary, but he was not
permitted to forget the thousands Of
Hungarian workers and intellectuals
butchered by some of the very men
in this delegation.
Four pickets from the Anti-Horthy
League of America stood just out
side the White House office, and held
up placards which read:
"Hejjas a Mass Murderer" Tom
csanyi Reinstated the Whipping Post"
."They Dishonored Kossuthl" "Peren-
vi a Hapsburg Lackey,' and "They
Jailed Hatvany."
Picket Was Tortured.
The pickets were Hugo Gellert,
president, and Emery Balint, secre-
tary of the League; Camilla G. Cinque-
grana, pianist composer, and Paul
Teles, who was tortured in prison at
the age of 16 by the Horthy regime,
and who witnessed the murder Of
other prisoners. Gellert is an artist
and Balint a novelist.
While the demonstration was be-
ing snapped by the news photo-
grapher, scores Of the Horthyites
crowded near, and their official photo
grapher called out to Gellert threat
while significantly drawing finger
across his own throat. Within few
minutes some of the 80 police who
had been thrown about the White
House premises to guard the official
visitors, arrested the four pickets.
They were escorted to a police sta

Collar Slaves
|. Demonstrate

WASHINGTON, March 20--More
than 1000 federal employees stormed
congress, March 10, in a demand for
higher pay. This mass demonstration
led by Mrs. Margaret Worrell, law
yer in the Indian Bureau, was staged
when hearings began on the Welch
bill which would grant an average
salary increase of nearly $500 to fed
eral workers. There are about 10000
of these workers in the District of
Columbia.
Officials Disapprove.
The army started its march from
the Peace Monument at the foot Of
the Capitol grounds, where Coxey's
Army was broken up by the police a
generation ago. The march on con-
gress had been officially disapproved
by the executives of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees. Mem
bers of the house civil service COM
mittee could not get into the hearing
room until police had struggled more
than half an hour to make way for
them through the crowd. Shortly
afterward Senator Ashurst of Ari-
zona and Is members of the house
came forward to urge the adoption Of
the Welch bill.
No general increase in salaries for
government workers has taken place
since 1854, Ashurst told the commit
tee.
