HEARST EXPERTS
ADMIT DOCUMENTS
ARE FORGERIES
Stunt by Publisher Who
Feared Denunciation

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-The
special senate committee investiga-
ting the alleged Mexican documents"
published in the Hearst newspapers
today were told by experts employed
by the publisher himself that they
were fraudulent.
Hearst said he engaged the experts
at the request of the committee, and
the report to the Investigators was
made by William A. Deford, Hearst's
lawyer. This device was resorted by
Hearst it is understood, in an effort
to anticipate denunciation of the fake.
Sheffield Testifies.
During the same session James Il.
Sheffield, former ambassador to Mex
leo, also testified. Sheffield lost his
lob as a result of "indiscretions" in
permitting to be made public instruc-
tions for the U. S. state department
relative to anti-Calles propaganda IN
Mexico.

One of the handwriting experts, Ell

THEFT UNSOLvED

No progress has been made, Of
ficials in charge admitted yesterday,
in the investigation into the theft Of
documents relating to Queens sewer
work from the offices of the Awixa
Corporation, of Islip, L. |. The COM
pany handled about one-fourth of the
S16,000,o00 sewer work in Jamaica,
which caused the opening of the pres
ent inquiry into the graft which to-
tails S29, 800, 900, and of which Maurice
Connolly, borough president of Queens,
is said to be the principal beneficiary.
Amza w. Biggs, former Suffolk
county sheriff, assigned as detective
in the case admitted that so far no
"clues" have been found. Acting Dis
trict Attorney Alexander Blue and
several special Investigators also ad-
mitted that they have no contribu-
tion to make in solving the theft.
Blues boss, District Attorney Hill
dreth, left for Bermuda for a mid
winter vacation the day the robberies
were committed.
Functionaries at former u. S. At

investigation, has the power to sub
poena any records that he needs and

CAB men REPORT FULLER BOASTS OF

"The deadest New. Years in the

Canvasses made by reporter of
The DAILY WORKER with the view
of ascertaining at first hand what

reward for the unusually strenuous

reveal that the taxi drivers have suf-
fered a serious set back in earnings.
Lean Holiday.
New Years eve, ordinarily char
vest" night for the cabmen, passed
with almost no increase over usual
nightly earnings. When asked for an
explanation of the fact taxi drivers
were, uniform in that the present
wave of unemployment and lowered
wages are responsible.
One taxi driver in Brooklyn re-
ported that four-fifths of his riders
travelled distance of less than one
mile. Tips are exceedingly small, an
other stated. The mileage covered
during the average daily run, one
driver pointed out, has risen to the
record of over one hundred miles.

NATIONWIDE ANTIFRAME-UP DRIVE ON

Plans to open nationwide cam
paign against the anti-labor frame
up system are now being completed
with the announcement of coast-to-
coast speaking tour by James P.
Cannon, national secretary of Inter
national Labor Defense, according to
the national office of the organization
at 80 E. 18th Street, New York City.
The subject of the speaking tour
will be "The American Frame-up
SYSTEM" and will deal with every
phase of this American institution
which has become particularly in
famous since the noted Sacco-Van-
zetti case. Cannon will deal with the
history of the frame-up system as
used against the labor movement in
this country since the days of the
Haymarket Martyrs, tracing it's de-
ivelopment through from that to the
Meyer Haywood -Pettibone case, the
Mooney-Billings case, Centralia, the
Michigan Communist trials, the Sacco-

UNEMPLOYMENTIN IN
NATION GROWING

The State of Virginia is studying
means to find employment for 25,00C
jobless in the region of Richmond
Baltimore is checking the accuracy OF
an estimate that 20 per cent of her
workers are without jobs.
These facts developed in discus
sions in the annual meeting in Wash
ington during the past week of the
American Economic Assn. which were
noticeably affected by the shadow Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and pros
pective. In various ways number OF
speakers voiced the same belief--that
unemployment now existing in the
United States is largely due to the
increased efficiency of business pro-
cesses, through which many workers
are thrown aside as being no longer
necessary to production. The number
Of workers in industry falls while the
production curve rises.
George Soule, of the Labor Bureau,
Inc., New York, told the meeting in
its final session that it was "a dis
grace" that in view of the competitive
character of our industrial society
there has been provided no adequate
national system whereby workers
displaced from their jobs by these ad-
vances in efficiency are not placed in
other jobs, and given unemployment
benefit payments during the period
of their compulsory ,idleness.
Other speakers cited regional un-
employment crisis, and the chronic
shortage Of employment in coal and
certain other industries. One econ
omist said he feared that world con-
ditions would bring wholesale depres-
sion and unemployment to the United
States within five years, and that the
government would not have made any
preparation to meet this crisis.

III COAL MINERS

IN RAID ON HALL
Workers Aroused Over
Attack on Strikers
BY FRANK L. PALMER.
(Special to The Daily Worker.

CANON CITY, Colo, Jan. 4.-Fur-
ther wholesale arrests by state police

The Industrial Commission is to
meet here Tuesday. 1t will be char
acterized by sensational evidence that
Pikeview, the biggest mine in the Col
many months without scales, paying
orado Springs region, had operated
its men by guess work. This charge
by strikers is upheld by city ministers
and professors who are staunch in
their friendship to the men.
Expect New Drive.
Strike leaders are confident that
neither a new drive in the southern
fields by the coal operators nor the
strikebreakers' tactics by the state
government in their endeavor to
break the morale of the men will not
succeed, but will only arouse a new
storm of protest among the workers.
A big mass meeting will be held
here tonight. The armory was rented
but Col. Newton cancelled the ar
rangements. The state police have
announced that they will arrest any
speaker who takes the platform,
among whom will be John, Wesley
Baker, theological student, and
Winifred R. Moeers, a Denver Uni
versity student.

Plan to RatiOnalize
The Coal Mines at the
Expense of the Workers

WASHINGTON, Jan. a. Bills to
legalize the merger of bituminous coal
mines into one huge trust, have been

The bills would make lawful but

AT MASS MEETING
ON INJUNCTION
Hear Renewal of Pledge
to Fight Corporations

Several hundred I.R.T. and B.-M.T.
traction workers forced their way
through an almost equal number of
company spies and spoilers to attend
an organization mass meeting last
night at the New Harlem Casino.
The determination of these work
ers in appearing repeatedly at these
meetings at the greatest risk to
themselves, was the subject of ad-
miration on the part of other trade
unionists who attended the meeting.
Workers Doubtful.
The workers applauded the an
nouncements by the speakers that
the injunction would be fought to
finish," but it was distinctly notice
able that such promises did not bring
forth the enthusiasm they had called
forth at previous meetings.
This change is attributed to the
fact that the workers in the beginn-
ing took such statements to mean
that the A. F. of L. organizers were
prepared to violate the anti-labor re-
straining orders and have had doubt
cast on their confidence by the con-
tinued delay in legal proceedings.
Leaves Out Unorganized.
The principal speaker was Edward
F. McGrady, organizer of the ALL,
who delivered lengthy address
tracing the history of the Federation
efforts for the workers, without
touching upon the large unorganized
masses in the basic industries.
