Senate Will
APPROVE west
Utilities CRATER Slated
for Sec'y of Interior

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
Roy 0. West, nominee for the post
of secretary of the interior, is ex-
pected to get by the Public Lands
Committee of the senate without
trouble. Most of the committee will
probably back up Coolidge's man.
Today's investigation saw Hubert
Work, former secretary of the in
terror, questioned on the Teapot
Dome scandal. 1t was all a beauti-
ful example of passing the buck.
Work told the committee that he
acted upon the advice of govern
ment experts in renewing the leases
of royalty oil in the Salt Creek
fields to the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur-
chasing Co. Former Secretary Fall
ha dsigned this lease five years be-
fore, with an option for renewal.
Work made the renewal despite the
fact that the attorney general was
forced to declare it invalid.
Work renewed the illegal feases
after he had framed it up with
every underling in the service of the
government who might possibly
give support to the matter. After
eight months of fixing" and watt
ing for a favorable opportunity,
held back as he was by fear of an
other such outbreak as the Teapot
Dome scandal, Work put through
the renewals.
On these leases which Work was
so anxious to put across, the gov
ernment has been losing S365,000 a
year. This new evidence came out
when the lawyers for a competing
company showed how much lower
his company's bid was than that Of
fered by Sinclair, whose bid was
accepted privately.
West, Work and Company are
completely tied up with the insult
public utilities gang, as well as with
the oil companies, and the attack
upon them is a political maneuver
which has no intention of hindering
the agents of the big corporations
in strategic government positions.

NEGRO CHILDREN
bRUTALLY DRIVEN
in SOUTH FARMS
School Authorities Are
Used as Cat's-Paw

WASHINGTON, D. c., (By MaiI).
Negro children in Mississippi, who
are engaged in labor, are deliberately
and brutally abused, it is revealed in
q report published by the National
Child L.Sor Committee covering the
results of study made in 1927 and
spring of 1928.
The report shows that more than
fifth of the white and two-fifths
tf thu Negro children from twelve
to sixteen years of age, whose names
appeared in the school census, were
not in the schools designated. Of
all the children who are known to
have lived in the communities OBJ
served, from two to sixteen years,
(not including those physically han
dicapped), 1911 per cent Of the Ne
groes and 7.3 per cent of the whites,
were out of school, either idle or
working. Added to these, 13 per cent
of the colored and Ills per cent of
the white children were working he
fore or after school.
Work 10 Hours Per Day.
Of the child workers, 1891 in
number, Al per cent were Negroes
ard 56 per cent were white; 65 per
cent were part time workers and
34.7 per cent were full time work
ers. A study of the ages reveals
that SO per cent of those children
were under 16 years while 81 per
cent were 16 years or over. Three
fourths of these children were work
ing at least ten hours per day under
unsanitary working conditions and
the, speed-up system, and were not
receiving sufficient food. The aver
age wage received was from eight
to twelve dollars per week, the Ne
gro children receiving a lower scale
than the whites.
1t is easily seen from a study of
TIE school census, that the school
authorities are in cahoots with the
Mississippi bosses. The authorities
fake the reports of the children's at
tendance in school, while in reality,
the chiIdren's labor is being used
to line the pockets of the bosses,
and provide a quantity of cheap la
Dor.
