supported for the presidency of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of La
Dor made vacant by the recent
resignation of James H. Maurer, by
the Progressive Trade Union Commit
tee of this city. Otis is the first pro-
gressive candidate to enter the lists.
A complete slate of officers will be
elected at the May 9Th convention in
Philadelphia.
Otis has been delegate to the Gen.
trail Labor Union from the Machinists
local $50 for the past six years. At
the American Federation of Labor
convention held here last November,
he demanded that every affiliated
union be assessed for miners relief
and urged that it take an active part
in organizing the millions of unor-
ganized workers.

In statement sent out by Anton
Horvat, secretary of the Progressive
Trade Union Committee urging sup

Brother Otis has been attending

Kellogg Enters Fight on
Anti mperialists

Secretary of State Frank B. Kel-
logg took hand in the effort of the
state department to suppress the
campaign of the All-American Anti
Imperialist League for support for
the Nicaraguan army of independence
when he filed an affidavit in the
federal district court here.
The league, 80 Union Square, is
suing to enjoin Postmaster General
Harry S. New from rejecting all
mail bearing the leagues stickers
reading: protest Against Marine
Rule in Nicaragua"
Manuel Gomez, national secretary
of the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League, stated yesterday that his or
ganization had sent the following ca
blegram to Senior Froylan Turcios
personal representative of General
Auguste c. SANDING in Honduras:
Secretary of State Kellogg pre-
sents affidavit to court denying any
marine rule in Nicaragua We wish
to present counter-affidavit from
SANDING stating facts. Please rush"
Imperialism requires heroic ac-
complishments of it's diplomats" stat
ed Gomez. with an affidavit Mr..
Kellogg has wiped out marine rule in
Nicaragua. The thousands of ma
rines, the bombing planes, the war
ships, which for more than year
have admittedly dominated the entire
outlook in Nicaragua, are officially
nil when the honorable secretary of
state speaks. That the court will ac-
cept Mr.. Kellogg's labored explana-
ton goes without saying, for he is the
secretary of state. The document is
therefore far more significant than
its unconvincing awkwardness would
indicate. 1t lets us know that the
United States government has adop-
ted the official pretense that there is
no marine rule in Nicaragua"

WILL LEAD SCAB
HERDING DRIVE
FOR COAL FIRMS
Goes harrington Way"
Into Boss Camp

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8. - Oral
Daugherty, former Lewis sub-district
president in the Hooking Valley and
Sunday Greek mining regions in this
state, has finally come out in the role
of strikebreaker and scabherder with
the financial backing of the coal OPP
orators and business men in the Hook
ing Valley. Daugherty has gone the
way of Harrington, another Lewis Of
ficial who was exposed in 1925 as be-
ing in the pay of the Peabody Coal
Company.
1t has been learned that Daugherty
has assured his support to the Akron
Coal Company, the Morris Coal Com
pany, the Cambridge Galleries and the
Forsythe Coal Company which are
about to open mines on scab basis.
Daugherty was recently deposed by
the district executive committee on
the ground that he violated the prin-
ciples of the United Mine Workers of
America. Daugherty had advised the
striking miners that they would
either have to return to work, secure
other jobs or starve.
The Save the Union Committee has
repeatedly exposed Daugherty as a
traitor to the striking miners.
Daugherty, in turn, has been just as
vigorous in his attacks on the pro-
gressive miners as Lee Hall and the
other Lewis officials. 1t is said in
Ohio mining circles that Daugherty
has merely stated what the Lee Hall
Lewis machine has been saying pri-
vately They deposed Daugherty only
because he exposed their hand.

which has been hearing the care
fully prepared testimony of Harry

the Teapot Dome oil lease graft, is
scheduled to plan another investi-
cation Monday, this time into the

Because leases in this field were
sold out to the Standard Oil Co.
group, which senators don't like to
investigate even for proof of graft
ing by the opposition party, the
Monday session will be behind
closed doors. The senators call
these sessions executive sessions. I"
That means nobody will be allowed
to hear or report what they plan
and what they decide not to plan.
The senate committee is not eX-
pected to call any witnesses on the
Salt Greek graft in the present ses-
sion of congress, however. Force
of circumstances has caused the
senate committee to go into this
field Because of. the power at
Washington of the Standard Oil Co.

ing Salt Creek would cost them

publican secretary of the interior,
Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny.
These three musketeers arranged
to be acquitted every time the gov
eminent felt it necessary to go so
far as to charge them with con-
spiracy. A democratic or republi-
can senator feels that to take a
good look into the Salt Creek field

eye ever the mouth of a gusher.
