the fiber could be priced on a par

Rayon plants might manufacture

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away l want to express the
gratitude Of the American Federation
Of Government Employees TO you for
the marvellous leadership and splendid
service you rendered in behalf OF
your country and Government en-
ployes in general in the position you
took on the reorganization bill in the
House of Representatives.
1T required real courage on your
part to stand out for recommittal
of this bill and but for your splendid
efforts recommittal might not have
occurred. Like yourself, this orgeniz-
alton is not opposed to fair re-
organization of the Government
service, but there were 50 many ele-
ments involved in the bill before
the House which were contrary to
the principles OF true democracy that
we were unable to subscribe to its
enactment into law.
Doubtless your position ON this
matter will bring you some criticism
from those who favored this legisla-
ton, but surely fair minded citizens
both in your district and through
out the country, when they know
the Intervals of the reorganiza ton
bill submitted for passage will ap-

Hint Oil Case Was Quashed
After Insurance Deal Is
Denied by Justice.

The Department of Justice in .
formal statement issued today said
recent remarks by Alva Johnston
about the insurance business Of James
Roosevelt were q direct reflection on
the four attorneys who conducted the
Madison, Wis. oil Investigations.
In = statement last Friday, Mr..
Johnston said:
One OF his ,(James Roosevelts)
1887 policies was obtained from Harry
F.. Sinclair while Sinclair's company
was involved in the Madison oil case.

ton were outlined in the Justice De-
partment today to show that dismissal

clair, brother Of Harry F. Sinclair.
who took an insurance policy through
Mr.. Roosevelt in 1887. was ordered be-
cause he had nothing to do with the
oil conspiracy.
The action Of the Government
counsel and the grand jury were based
solely on the evidence in the posses-
sion Of the Government, and no out
side representations OF any kind from
any source were brought to the atten-
ton Of either the grand jury or the
attorneys conducting the cases. These
proceedings were conducted uninfiu-
enced by James Roosevelt or any one
else. and it may be Of interest to note
that none of the attorneys in this
case had any acquaintance or COM
munication with James Roosevelt di-
rectly or indirectly" the statement
said
The slightest inquiry would have
disclosed the true facts as above re-
cited and the consequent falsity Of the
charge. While 1t is impossible for the
Department Of Justice to deny every
false charge leyeled against 1t. tbs
implication contained in Mr.. johns
tons statement was 80 utterly baseless
that the department was unwilling to
permit it to pass"
