PHELAN CRITICIZES
BRITAIN’S POLICY
§
CHARGES ENGLAND IS BUYING
UP THE WORLD’S OIL
SUPPLY
SENATOR CHARGES DUPLICITY
Advocate! Retaliatory Policy Os Cut
ting British From American
Oil Industry
. Washington.—Great Britain was ac
cused of "emulating the Hun" In pur
suing her post-war oil policy by Sena
tor J’helan, Democrat, of California,
speaking ia the senate, ufter Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee,
had advocated cutting off the British
supply of American oil unless Ameri
cans were accorded equal rights with
British subjects in the purchase and
development of world oil supplies.
The California senator added to his
accusation the charge that Great Brit
ain at the same moment she was ap
pealing for American aid during the
war. declaring her "back was to the
wall," was buying up oil lands in oth
er countries. With this charge Sen
ator Phelan coupled another, assert
ing that Great Britain obtained four
billion dollars In loans from the Unit
ed States and used her own money
in an endeavor to acquire a monop
oly of the world oil supply.
Senator McKellar u few moments
before the Pacific coast senator had
made his charge, had declared that
Great Britain was putting forward
claims of inability to pay interest on
American war loans and was buying
up the world oil supplies. England,
while buying up these oil resources,
Mr. McKellar said, was UHing Amer
ican oil and saving her own supplies
for the future.
Tbo United States, Senutor McKel
lar, declared, has the power "to bring
England to terms” by refusing per
mission for the obtaining of oil from
America and in that connection urg
ed immediate action on his hill pro
posing reciprocity us regards oil witli
those nations which do not discrimi
nate against American citizens, and
retaliation against those nutions that
do.
c "We ask for nothing hut what is
right,” Senator McKellar asserted.
"We simply desire that our nationals
shull be treated by Great Britain in
the* way that we treat hers. We want
them to .enjoy the suine privileges in
our country that we want in theirs.”
Senator 'Phelan turned the debate ;
from the* oil question to the Japan
ese land question by declaring that ;
the Japanese were buying oil from
British companies in California for ;
SI.BO a barrel, while Californians were
being charged s2.lff a barrel. Fur- ,
ther acquisition of California oil lauds
by British interests. Mr. Phelan said,
would be Stopped through enactment t
by the legislature of that state of a <
general unti-allen-landfiwnerßhlp bill |
which, he said, would, at the same i
time meet the Japanese land prob- i
lent. i
O’CALLAGHAN CASE MAY
CAUSE CONFLICT BETWEEN ,
STATE AND LABOR DEPTS.
i i
Washington.—Conflict botweeh the (
department of state and the depart- ,
ment of labor is foreshadowed in the
final decision as to the admission of
Donald J. O’C&llughan, lord mayor of
Cork, who \Vas apprehended by Immi
gration authorities upon his arrival
at Newport News from Ireland as a
stowaway without a passport.
Action of Secretary Wilson, in pa- .
ruling O'Callaghan upon his own rec
ognisance, it is indicated, had been
taken without consultation with the
state department, as the first knowl
edge of.it was obtained by Acting Sec
retary Davis of that department from
newspaper men.
Even should O’Callaghun now be de
ported. it is held at the state depart

EXCHANGES _ARE CRITICIZED
( President Os Farmers’ Union Calls
Stock And Farm Product Manipu
* lators "Predatory Parasites”
Washington.—Charles A. Barrett,
president of the Farmers’ Co-Opera
tive and Educational Union, who is
chairman of the national bureau of
farm organizations, created a sensa
tion by a stirring and intensely caus
tic address at the hearing on the va
rious hills pending to abolish stock
and cotton exchanges. Among other
things, Mr. Barrett said:
"The great staple crops of this na
tion are controlled by a group of pred
tory gamblers who are mercilessly rob
bing farmers and city people alike.
I am appearing before this committee
to urge congress to wipe out this great
evil.
"Organized speculation is a polite
name for gambling. Gambling is mere
ly one form of stealing; therefore,
when we get down to brass tacks,
speculation is just plain every day
stealing.
"Stealing is the acquiring of your
neighbor’s property without giving any
return either in money, property or
service. Isn’t that precisely what
speculation attempts to do, and suc
ceeds in doing on a scale which
makes the professional gamblers and
thieves look like pikers?
"The world has long sufered from
the predatory parasites who cill them
selves speculators, but it remained for
the nineteenth century to permit them
to organize themselves into powerful
‘exchanges,’ so-called and properly so,
for they most successfuly exchange
their paper contracts for the hard
earned money of the general public.
"It does not matter whether it is
cotton, or corn, or wheat, or oats, or
pork, or coffee, or railroad and indus
trial stocks, the phocedure is the
same; the victims get paper contracts
from the members of the ‘exchange’
and the said members get the victims.
Gangs, operating in Chicago, plain
tively complain that the attacks now
being leveled at the ’exchange’ are
all based on the grievous error that
gambling and speculation mean the
sumo tiling.
"The silk-hatted, frock-coated para
sites have grown so powerful that they
are able to hire the shrewdest and
most üble members of the Ananias
Club in the country to persuade the
people, and especialy legislatures, that
black is white, that speculation is not
only honorable, but essential to the
country's business —indeed, that with
out it we would all go to the bow
wows. Their success has been remark
aide, not surprisingly so, in view of
the nufnber of fools in the world who
labor faithfully and endure hardships
in order that parasites may live in
luxury and ease.
"Let us consider some of the facts
and see if the obvious deduction can
pereolute into our brains:
"When a wheat crop of, say, 750,-
000,000 bushels, is bought and sold
on paper contracts of the Chicago
gambling hell, fourteen times over be
fore a bushel of the crop hus moved
to market, how in the name of com
mon sense can that help the wheat
grower? He has one bushel of wheat
to sell. The organized gamblers of
fer to the public fourteen bushels.
And these gentry have the nerve to
talk utiout the law of supply and
demand, at the very moment that for
a fairly known demand they offer in
the market place ten, twelve, four
teen or twenty times the actual
amount of wheat in existence.
"Consider cotton: For forty years
cotton was the backbone of our for
eign, exports, and rendered priceless
service to the country, being still a
tremendous factor in that field.
"In 1868 the New York cotton ‘ex
change’. establish tlie ’future board.’
and the gamblers of Nt*w York, New
Orleans and Liverpool took charge of
cotton. A careful study worked out
in 1906, showed that in the 3S years
from 186 S to 1906, cotton gamblers
hud cost the cotton producers of the
South thousand millions of dol
lars.”
Holds Up Druggist; Demands Drink
Knoxville, Tenn. —“Blookum" and
not cash or other valuables, led a
bold robbers to hold up the proprietor
of a North Knoxville drug store. The
highwayman entered the store and
bought a sack of tobacco. He then
told the drug store owner he would
like to speak to him in the rear of the
store, --in tlie prescription room, he
placed a revolver against the ribs of
the druggist and demanded a “drink.”
French Election May Affect Cabinet
Baris. —Elections of senators, which
will be held January 9, may have a
direct effect upon tlu* personnel of
the cabinet. Three members of the
ministry are candidates, and. should
they be elected, the number of sena
tors holding governmental portfolios
would no longer he in proportion to
the deputies in the ministry. This
might cause a reshaping of the cabi
net. Great intere&i is being taken in
this election, us there are many ques
tious in which the general public is
interested to be decided.
Liquor Guards Cost $510,000 Annually
Louisville.—The number of guards
policing whiskey stored In Kentucky
warehouses will he increased from 200
to 300. They will cost $510,000 a year
This is due to the plan to centralize
all whiskey in Kentucky. Whiskey
withdrawn from warehouse during the
first twenty days of December totaled
300,000 gallons. Prohibition agents
say this indicated preparation for the
holidays. Internal revenue records
show 1,210.918 gallons of whiskey were
withdrawn between October 1 and
Christmas.

GOMPERS ATTACKS DECISION
“A Blow At The Movement For Hu*
j man Freedom And Progress,” As
serts Head Os A. F. Os L.
St. Louis, Mo. —The decision of the
United States Supreme court relative
to the so-called secondary boycott, was
attacked in a formal statement here
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
asserted the court has “joined forces
with the anti-union shop movement.”
The statement characterized the de
cision as a “blow at the movement
for human freedom and progress,” and
declared it is thoroughly in accord
with the most ardent wishes of pred
atory greed.”
The court held that labor unions,
or their members, are accountable, un
der the anti-trust laws, where they de
part from their “normal and legitimate
objects and engage in an actual com
bination or conspiracy in restraint of
trade.”
Mr. Gompers’ statement in full fol
lows:
“The Supreme court, in rendering
its decision in the case of the Duplex
Printing Press company versus the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
has joined forces with the anti-union
shop movement, the movement to un
dermine and destroy the only organs
which the working people have for
their protection.
“The decision of the majority jus
tices fully justifies the statements at
tributed by the press to Justice Bran
deis in the minor dissenting opinion
that the whole movemetn of 30 years
to place workers and employers on a
basis of equality before the law had
been nullified. )
“I have not read the whole lan
guage of the decision, but I have
seen sufficient to say that it is thor-
Houghly in accord with the most ardent
wishes of predatory greed, and should
be highly satisfactory to those who ex
alt profits and deny the aspirations of
humanity.
“It is a blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress. I can
only add that the protest of minorities
of one day have frequently been the
decisions of the majorities of the next
day.”
President Gompers was in St. Lou
is en route from Washington to Mex
ico City to attend the Pan-American
Federation of Labor convention.

AND ACTRESSES ARE
REPORTED OUT OF WORK
New Y'ork. —Five thousand actors
and actresses are unemployed in this
city, and many others are stranded
at distant points, Victims of wide
spread failure of road companies dur
ing last year.
This statement was made by the
Actors’'Equity Association, which an
nounces that it has undertaken the
task of succoring the unfortunate stage
folk, especialy those thrown on their
own resources in other cities. The
greater proportion of road failures, the
association asserted, is due to irre
sponsible managers, who entered the
profession during the war, when the:
financing of theatrical objects was
comparatively easy.
