WASHINGTON, March 12.-Clau-
dius Huston denied before the SEN
ate lobby investigating committee
today reports that he has been &C
tive in Muscle Shoals lobbying since
his appointment as chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Huston also characterized as Ter
roneous newspaper reports" rumors
that he will resign as head of the
Republican committee because of
evidence before the lobby committee
concerning these alleged activities.
Huston told the lobby committee
today he could not furnish any rec
ords of the $400, 900 or $500 900,
which has been spent by the Ten
nessee River Improvement Associa-
ton in connection with Muscle
Shoals legislation.
Huston, former president and
treasurer Of the association, said the
only records kept by the organiza-
ton were checks stubs and that he
could not furnish them.
Huston said he had been con-
nected with the Tennessee River I'M
provement Association for thirty
years. The ASSOCIATION had been
active in lobbying for the American
Cyanamid Company's bid to operate
Muscle Shoals.
Clashes With Caraway
Chairman Caraway and Huston
engaged in a verbal tiff as soon as
the witness took the stand. When
Huston explained that he was a
manufacturer and chairman Of the
Republican national committee,
Caraway asked
"A manufacturer of propaganda"
Not necessarily" Huston an
swered.
"I thought you said you were
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee?" Caraway said.
That is why I thought you were
a manufacturer of propaganda.
at may learn sometime from the
Democrats" Huston replied.
Caraway then questioned Huston
about his statement of last week
charging the lobby committee with
"bandying about" his name, without
giving him a chance to reply.
Huston pointed out that his name
has figured in committee records
since last fall.
To Report Thursday
Huston said he had heard the re-
port that he wasn't called before
the committee earlier because Cara
way had said he was going to "let
him sweat" a while.
Did you sweat?" Caraway asked.
mo. I haven't perspired at all
about this" Huston replied.
The committee questioned Huston
nearly two hours, mostly about the
missing records. The committee adj
iourned at noon in order to take
part in tariff debate on the senate
floor. but instructed Huston to re-
turn Thursday.

SPURNS
INJUNCTION As
Mine WEAPON
Rejects Use as Means to
Bring Illinois Rebels
to Terms.
RECRUITING is STARTED
Rump Session Adjournment
Signal for Membership
Campaign.

Injunction will not be invoked by
United Mine Workers of America,
in convention here, to prevent use OF
it's name by Illinois insurgents meet
ing in Springfield, Ill.
John L. Lewis, international pres
ident, announced today at the Tom
linson hall convention that no sucn
court action is contemplated and
indicated it will not be employed.
"Our membership always has en-
gagged in a fight against the use OF
the Injunction" he declared. "Ihe
Illinois group is the one that uses
injunctions. Our membership here
is opposed to the practice"
Lewis, however, refused to say
what means would be taken to COM
bat rivalry by the Illinois insurgents
who, claiming the constitution OF
the union had expired, are assum-
ing the name of the union after
adopting a new constitution and de-
claring all offices vacant.
To Increase Penalty
That adjournment of the I'LL
nois convention today or Thursday
will bring intense membership
rivalry, especially in the southern
Illinois coal fields, was admitted to-
day by officers of the convention
here. Organizers have been sent
into the insurgent districts by the
union here in an effort to recruit
membership before the insurgents
begin a campaign.
Lenthy descriptions of the Hi
nois insurgency were given to the
convention this morning by John
Jacobs of WestvilIe, Ill, and by
John It. Jones, provisional president
of subdistrict No. 9, District II Of
Franklin county.
Jacobs declared the last district
convention in Illinois recognized
validity of the mine union con-
stitution by rulings on constitu-
tional questions, despite the fact it
was held in March and April after
the Illinois insurgents claim it ex-
PRED.
Blame Assigned
James A. Ray of Waller, Ill,
served as a sort of Exhibit A for
Jones talk. Ray was blinded in a
mine accident and claimed he was
defrauded of all but 5000 of the
$4,000 compensation due him,
through action of district officials.
Direct charges that officials of
local No. 4173 at West Frankfort,
ILL.,, "embezzled more than $3.50
in two years." were made by Jones.
At the same time, he charges that
death claims had been paid to men
now walking the streets of West
Frankfort"
Sale of this locals property by
officials resulted in conviction of
two in courts of Franklin county.
An official vote placing blame on
District No. II officers opened the
discussion by the convention here
of the Illinois rebellion.
Ignoring the peace palm
offered by the Springfield conven-
ton and ignoring appeal of the
Springfield convention to the senate
labor committee to intervene in the
miners union disruption, President
John L. Lewis led an attack on the

Sen Smoot on. Cuban Sugar

Sen. Reed Smoot Is said to be the ablest business
man whose name is on the roll Of the American sen
ate. He broke lose the other day. He drifted away
from his moorings. He made e sensational speech.
He ripped into "propagandists against a higher sugar
levy" He trained his guns on one Of the greatest
banks in the world. This Is what he said:
Having acquired large sugar holdings in Cube
the National City bank would ike to see the domestic
sugar industry destroyed so that larger profits from
its foreign investments might accrue. IN the sky
~rocketing Of prices in 1920. me New York bank poured
some hundred millions o. SO dollars into Cuban
sugar. When the deflation came many Cuban mills
we're deeply In debt TO tn Institution which then SCI
about squeezing the Cubans and taking control o.
their property. Having sxacted its pound Of flesh
from the poo Cubans. this same bank took over the
| holding company known as General Sugars, Inc
under which IL now is operating these mills"
Senator Smoot speaEs for the best sugar industry
OF the west. He speaks for a fast growing sugar in
dustry. He would protect American cane growers an
beet sugar growers from the fierce competition oi
the growers Of Cuban sugar and the producers o.
sugar in the Philippine. When it comes To the
item Of sugar his slogan = home first" when Il
comes TO petroleum he cha lgcs his tune.

not American petroleum? VIII should foreign crude
