j. s. CHASE FOR
OIL WITNESS
SLACKENS
BY International News Service

BY international News Service
PARIS, April 6.---After a four
year search throughout Europe for
James e. O'Neill. during which he
eluded the keenest imam hunters"
of the American secret service, the
dragnet for the elusive American
is relaxing for it is too late now to
get him back to- the United States
for the Teapot Dome conspiracy
trial of Harry r. Sinclair, which is
scheduled to open in Washington
on Monday. O'Neill was wanted by
the United States Government as an
important witness In the Sinclair
trial.
O'NeilI has been regarded as the
missing link" I'm the Governments
chain Of evidence to support the
accusations that Sinclair was guilty
Of conspiracy to defraud the Gov.
eminent i'm the Teapot Dome oil
lease.
There have been few man hunts
so dramatic and so fraught with
material for detective stories as
the trail for the missing witness.
Blackmer Involved, Too
Out of the maze OF allegations
around the leasing of the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve to Sinclair
by former Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall in 1924, American
Federal authorities felt certain of
one fact-to obtain conclusive evil
dence they must find Harry Black
nler and O'Neill, officials of the
Continental Trading Company.
On their first efforts to find Black.
lmer and O'NeilI Federal agents
learned that the men had fled to
Europe. In less than Il month IL
was reported they were on hunt.
ing trip I'm Africa.
American consular officials and
diplomatic authorities throughout
the. world were notified of the hunt
for Blackmer and O'Neill, but two
years rolled by before tangible re-
suits could be revealed.
Meanwhile the Walsh law provid-
ing for confiscation of 100000 of the
property of any American who re-
sisted service of subpoena abroad
was passed.
Bonds Turned Over
Later the American consul at Mar
settles caught Blackmer in a train
pulling out of Nice. Blackmer re-
fused service. and later directed his
American attorney, Nathan Miller,
to q vault I'M Washington where re.
posed 100000 in Liberty bonds,
which were confiscatcd as the pen
atty of Blackmer's defiance of the
law
From that day Blaclkmer made no
pretense Ut hiding. Today he lives
at the Plaza Athenee, one Of the
paIatial hotels of Paris. Operatives
hoped to catch O'Neill through his
former partner. The Plaza Athenee
was under surveillance for year,
but O'Neill never appeared.
Blackmer was always willing to
receive reporters and chat with
them. but as soon as they mentioned
O'Neill's name he became hard
boiled" and said the interview was
at an end.
O'NeiII is listed in the American
directory OF France. He owns a
villa, San Antonio, at Cannes. Mrs.
O'NeiII lives there and receives every
one cordially.
Inquiries get an invariabIe reply:
II have not the slightest idea
where my husband is"
During the past few weeks the
trail got hot and detectives were sure
they had located the missing Ameri-
can at San Reno, but the Tip"
proved false. O'Neill is still at large.

pound to family. Today coffee is
the only hot food that very many Of
the strikers get, and for the moment
at least it drives away the barracks

DETROIT WORKERS
BACK Relief AID
FOR COAL miners
Plan Program of Mass
Meetings, Concerts

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 3.-The
second meeting of the Detroit Con-
ference for Relief of Striking Coal
Miners since it organization on De
cember 9th, was held here recently at
it's headquarters, 274 E. Vinor High
way. At this meeting tangible re
suits have already begun to appear
in the work of getting the workers
of Detroit solidly behind the striking
miners in their struggle.
Altho over $4,000 has already been
raised for this purpose in Detroit,
much of this money was donated in
lump sums by local labor unions and
dispatched before the Detroit Con-
ference was organized.
Plans Under Way.
Many plans are under way for the
holding Of large affairs and concerts
for the benefit Of the miners. The
committee is arranging for large
mass meeting to be held on Sunday
afternoon, January 18th, at the Cass
Technical High School Auditorium,
seating about 1000, providing a
speaker can be secured in time to
get out the advertising; otherwise it
will be held at later date.
Plans are also in preparation for
the holding of a large language
chorus concert sometime during the
end of January.
To date the conference is composed
of over $50 delegates representing
about 70 organizations. A special
South Slavic Conference was organ
lied some time ago and is already
affiliated to the Detroit Conference.
A Polish Conference composed of all
Polish speaking, organizations in De-
troit was organized for the organi-
cation of another auxiliary to the
main Conference, composed of all
women's organizations in Detroit.
Send Clothing.
A large campaign has been started
for clothing and already nine large
boxes Of servicaable clothing have
been sent off and more are awaiting
the express man. Thru the courtesy
Of the Cleaners and Dyers' Union of
this city, all clothes needing it, will
be cleaned before they are sent.
Of the money donated thru the
Conference, $500 will be sent to the
Miners Relief Committee in Pitts
burgh.
The Conference has also written to
the striking area asking that a miner
and his wife be sent to Detroit for
several weeks to speak at various or
CARNATIONS and give first hand in
formation of the conditions there and
thus help stimulate the work.

PH!LA DISTRICT
EXPELS z FROM

A. j. and Rose Carey
Guilty of Sabotage

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The
District Committee of District Three
OF the Workers (Communist) Party,
deems it necessary to make known
the fact that A. j. and Rose F. Carey
have been unanimously expelled and
are no longer members of the Work

"These two individuals have re-
Gently Joined with a few other ex-
PEELED and discredited Adventures and
some who were innocently misled, in
issuing call for the organization of
a Labor Party" says an announcement
OF the District Executive Committee,
District 8, over the name of Herbert
Benjamin, district organizer.
"Since this call is being sent to in
dividuals of all kinds, it is apparent
that the sponsors have in mind not
the organization of Labor Party
based upon the trade-unions, but of a
sect that will serve as base for
future attacks against the Party.
"a. j. Carey was under charges in
SAiS al ~ az ClAC LiIlS Lie cdll MAS
issued for having refused without any
apparent cause other than cowardice
to participate in a demonstration
which the Party organized some time
ago. Rose F. Carey was also antici-
pating expulsion from the Party for
sabotage of the Negro and Women's
work that she had been assigned to
do. They are known to have made
vicious and slanderous attacks upon
the Party in number of non-Party
organizations in an effort to dis
credit the Party and thus escape the
onus which must attach itself to the
persons whom the revolutionary
Party of the workers finds it neces-
sary to expel and expose.
"All honest workers and all work
ers' organizations are warned against
these two individuals whose conduct
and especially efforts to confuse the
movement for Labor Party marks
them as unprincipled adventures"

the means by which the mine owners
have attempted to COW the workers
into submission, said Minerich.
Wife Died After Eviction.
One of the most touching incidents
of the meeting was the appearance of
Joe Lebriski, miner of many years,
whose wife died this week from ex-
posture in the barracks where the fam
lily took refuge when evicted from the
company houses.
Grecht Speaks.
The conditions in the mining camps
were described by Rebecca Grecht,
Workers Party organizer, of New
York, who has spent several weeks
recently in the mining district. : She
described the privation and suffering
of the miners families and the hero
ic spirit that animated the women to
stand behind their men in the strike,
pointing out the important part that
women have to play in the labor
struggle side by side with the men.
A miners wife, Mrs. Colby, secre-
tary of the Women's Auxiliary Relief
Committee of Coverdale told the story
of the miners wives and their prob
lem Of getting bread for their fam
lilies.
Women in Strike.
"The working women of other dis
tricts are awake to the dire need of
the miners" said Juliet Stuart Poyntz
of New York, who brought message
of solidarity to the miners and their
women and children from the Work
ing Women's Relief Conference of
New York City. She spoke of the
need of cooperation among working
women's organizations everywhere for
common participation in the class
struggle.
An appeal was made for assistance
in organizing wide women's confer
ence for miners relief on January
22d, to be held here.
Caroline Scolline, secretary of the
Womens Provisional Committee for
Miners Relief, presided at the meet
ing.

Cal Throws 100000, 900
To Levee Contractors
Tn Mississippi Valley

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The total
amount the government should spend
towards rehabilitating and recon-
structing the Mississippi River Val
lev will be approximately S300,OOO,-
900, President Coolidge estimated to-
day.
Of this amount he said that ap-
proxinately S110,000,000 must be
spent for river improvements and
S108,000,000 for construction work to
prevent floods in the future. This
will continue the levee contract sys-
tenn, which is fruitful source of
profit to grading companies but use
less when really high water comes.

Lewis GANG PAY
STOP DEMANDED
By worker Correspondent

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Jan. "a
resolution demanding that President
Lewis of the United Mine Workers
Of America Immediately stop the sal
aries of all officers, including district
officers and the money be added to
the relief of the striking miners, was
passed at a recent meeting of local
union 1899 held at Daisytown.
There is no doubt that this reso-
luton will go to the waste basket,
and thus will never be printed in the
Miners Journal Our treacherous
president is not interested in the fact
that, with the strike going into its
ninth month, thousands of miners,
their wives and children are starving
Shall we continue to believe in
Lewis and his machine?
Trap for Workers.
The recent conference called by Sec
rotary Of Labor Davis, of coal opera
tors and U. M. w. of A. representa-
tives was for no other purpose than
to strengthening the republican party
machine. Now President Lewis, who
is only a lackey of the Wall Street
government will be able to go and
ask the miners to support whoever
Wall Street decides to run for presi-
dent in the next presidential cleo
tons.
Relief Urgent.
General relief for the miners on
strike now, is the big issue.
The indirect refusal of Lewis and
his machine to provide relief for the
miners is another proof Of treachery
and proves him unworthy to be a min
ers' leader.
