OFREWREM Dismisses Chief and DMsfon Heads of Engravr*- lh:- ?^«8 Department* •'4*. m 8000 OF THE SBMCE" Executive Order Removes Thirty-Two Officials and NIIIMI Their Sucoee- *or*--M*y Prove Biggest Scan* $>«" ' dal In Government's History. MM'STJIIG Idaho Senator Takes Wrw|J*f sue With President on y. Situation. w ^ - • WIU 00 TO BOTTOM OF IT :h\ i, - Washington, April 8.--What may prove the biggest scandal In the history of the government departments broke here when President Harding by an executive order dismissed from the service James L. Wiimeth, director of the bureau of engraving and printing and the entire executive staff of that bureau, numbering thirty-two Id all. The President's order came at 8:45 p. m„ Friday, and was followed by the appointment of new officials to All vacancies. Director Wiimeth was succeeded by Louis A. Hill. Mr. Hill left the White House with orders Immediately to take ' over the big government engraving plant, with its hundreds of millions of dollars In paper money and government bonds. The transfer of authority was effected within half an hour after Mr. Hill left the White House. Mr. Wiimeth, the dismissed director, was permitted to take only personal papers from his desk. The sweeping order of tbe President came as a dramatic surprise, but It was made only after a thorough investigation on the part of government agents over a period of many months. Frequent thefts are said to have occurred recently at the bureau and general Inefficiency In its conduct for some time is said to have brought forth the executive order. Tbe appearance in many sections of tbe country of duplicate government bonds and securities, which are said not to be forgeries, has kept the secret sen Ice busy running down those responsible. While no charges of criminality against the dismissed executives have yet been preferred, it was stated by officials that experts will begin an accounting of every item on the books. Upon the result of this Investigation will depend the future action of tbe government, It was said. From the White House the following statement was issued regarding tbe sensational developments: 'The President issued an executive order dismissing a long list of ex- , ecutives in tbe bureau of engraving and printing, and appointing new ofdais to the vacancies. "The order, which was signed at 6:45 p. m., was at once delivered to the new director of the bureau for execution. It became effective from tbe moment of signature by the President, constituting an instant severance from the service of ail officers dismissed. Their successors wiH be appointed on the recommendation of tbe new director. Tbe director of tba bureau, James X*. Wiimeth, is among those removed, and Louis A. Hill, heretofore assistant chief of the division of engraving, is named to succeed him. 'The bureau is one of the largest In personnel of the executive service of the government, numbering about six thousand employees. It operates tbe greatest engraving plant in tbe world, 4n which all paper money, bonds, certificates and securities of the government, and postage stamps are made. The President's order simply states tbe action is taken for the good of tbe service.' The only exceptions to tbe rale of dismissal are in tbe cases of persons eligible for retirement for age; these are retired as of this date. The order involves changes in the executive heads of every division In the bureau. The action was taken as a preliminary to a complete readjustment of tbe bureau to peacc conditions. The action was taken as the outcome of extended preliminary examination into tbe conduct of the bureau." Mr. Wiimeth said that be was "unable to account? for tbe President's •Weeping action. Declares Walkout la Mot Only a Publie Emergency, but Beoame Such Tin Days ago--May Mean Qg*> ernment Ownership. Washington, April 4.--Senator Bo* rah took direct Issue with President Harding's attitude that the coal strike has not yet become a public emergency. He declared that it became a public emergency ten days ago and that he will find out what is at the bottom of it and seek a basis of arbitration. The Idaho senator conferred with President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, leader of the strike, who is in Washington. R«#ah heard the operators' side Saturday in conferences with J. D. A.

' Lewis and Borah, at present the two foremost figures In the strike situation, are strikingly similar in personal appearance. Both are direct in manner, stocky and vigorous physically, and both wear heavy shocks of hair in Western plainsman style. At the last convention of fhe American Federation of Labor Lewis opposed Samuel Gompers for the presidency. They are./jurfted In the present strike, the greatest In the history of organized labor. Borah, a Republican, a member of President Harding's party, disagrees with the President's position that the government should not try to arbitrate now bnt should await further developments, and he is going over the President's head in characteristic Borah style. "I do not think that the public knows fully what the coal strike is about," said Senator Borah. "I expect to confer with President Lewis of the United Mine Workers with a view to finding out and to ascertain whether there Is not a basis for arbitration. "I do not agree that -the strike of more than half a •million coal miners Is not a public emergency. It became a public emergency ten days ago, and means must be found to end the strike before the situation becomes more serious than it already is." In a statement Senator Borah , declared that "if the coal industry Is not reorganised in the interest of the public then it will be up to the public to try the experiment of public ownership." President Harding, Secretary of Labor Davis, Attorney General Daugherty, Secretary of War Weeks and other officials of the administration concerned with the strike continue to sit tight OWES U.

Historic 8peeh Brfftah Leader Lays Down Conditions Whereon Allies Are to Recognize Russian Soviet Government. London, April 5.--The boose of commons voted confidence in Premier Lloyd George and the government by 379 to 84. The vote evidenced the approval of the premier's outline of the allied plans for the Genoa conference. In a historic speech on the Genoa confergpee the premier laid (town tlje conditions whereon the allies are preparing to recognize the soviet government. The conditions are-: f 1. Recognition of the debts COOr tracted under the czarist regime. 2. Reduction of the Red army., 3. Russia must not attack its neighbors and vice versa. 4. Access to Russian ports. 5. Establishment of tbe usoftl agencies for the protection of trade. 6. Recognition to b6 general, with a probationary period. The premier had not entirely reganied his old confidence, as the result of his recent illness. He spoke Quietly, sometimes with unusual hesitancy, searching for words to fit the occasion. There was also an absence of swift retorts when the premier was heckled by labor!tea. Only In the closing part of his speech did Lloyd George generate his characteristic fire. Nevertheless the premier stored another personal t riumiiii. Warm applause greeted Lloyd Govenwnnt Will Not Interfere Cx> . oapt in Case of Publlo Emergency --No Thought of Con* flict. 4 • Washington,. April 1.--President Harding believes that responsibility for the strike of 500,000 coal miners rests entirely upon the operators of western Pennsylvania, who have consistently turned down governmental efforts at arbitration. „ This was revealed by an administration spokesman directly after a cabinet meeting, which failed to produce a solution. The ca'binet meeting: was anxiously watched in hope the government, in an eleventh-hour appeal, might prevent the strike. I#ter in the aftercoon, however, announcement was definitely made at the White House that the administration "had done everything it has thought seemly to do io prevent suspension of operations." The government will keep hands off "until something happens," It was Indicated. O Pennsylvania Operators Blamed. : This statement was followed by an analysis of steps taken by the government to bring both sides to the dispute together. Only the obdurate attitude of the western Pennsylvania operators, it was said, had prevented this attempt being successful. From.the White House came the following statement regarding the situation : 'The government began as early as George when he entered the densely | ^ °ct < ob«r to bring operators and packed house and cheering was loud miners into conference to effect an and prolonged'when he rose to deliver his 85-minute speech. Labor members enthusiastically applauded the premier's reference to a campaign for immediate recognition of the soviet government, but the mass of coalitionists reserved their approval until the premier's announcement that Russia must prove good faith before the allied powers could ceremonially recognize jtlie sovlets. Lloyd George sounded a death knell to Britain's hopes that a dictatorship for proletariat Russia would be superseded by a more democratic form of government when he said: "TJie world cannot afford to wait any longer for the prospect of the downfall of the present regime. "It is our duty at Genoa to see that the re-establishinent of peace In Europe Is complete." The historical precedent which tbe premier selected to Justify the recognition was Pitt's peace with the French revolutionary government. The premier said that he felt today as Pitt did in bis time--that unless peace was made with the revolutionaries, Europe faced many devastating years. Dealing with the other objects of the Genoa conference, 'Lloyd George •aid the conference would try to recover prosperity from desolation where into Europe, had fallen, but he would no); seek to revise existing treaties or the reparation provisions made at the Versailles treaty. "If Germany does not pay," said the premier, "France and Britain have to. Germany's ultimate capacity to pay must not be judged by the present general depression." ~ The first work at Genoa will be to restore exchanges. England's International trade, is now 50 per cent of what It was before the war, Germany's 25 per cent and France's 60 per cent. Pressure will have to be brought to bear to Induce nations to balance their budgets, the premier said. ; $ 13 WIVES, GETS 14 YEARS Kills Suspected Bandit. Los Angeles. Cat..

At that time the mine workers would not give consideration to the proposal until after they had held their annual convention, when they agreed upon wage schedules. ^ "Later they indicated a desire to arbitrate. Then the government sought to bring the operators In. The operators of three states Indicated that if all the other operators caipe in they would agree tjp a conference. The operators of western Pennsylvania refused to confer, stating they could see no chance of success in such a conference with representatives of the miners. "To this appeal on the part of the President, Secretary of Labor Davis and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon abided'their voices. But the operators Of western Pennsylvania remained obdurate." Will Await' Real Emergency. Federal intervention In the strike will follow only in case of a public emergency, It was learned authoritatively at the-White House. Only In case of threatened paralysis of railroads and shutdown of essential Industries will the government take a hand, It was said. No attempt at compulsory arbitration or at a compulsory conference Is to be made until the economic structure of the nation actually is threatened. In other words, the administration is going to play a game of watchful waiting until accumulated coal stocks are exhausted or the miners return to work. Neither President Harding nor qny of his advisers will even discuss the necessity of using tbe army to guard mine properties or to prevent strife between union and nonunion miners. The statement was made at the White House that "the government has had no thought that this dispute will lead to conflict." Miners Have Big 8trike Fund. Without trouble, the nation-wide strike of coal miners, involving 500,- 000 union men, started. Industry In the United States will depend on coal now In storage and on tbe output of nonunion mines, chiefly in West Virginia and Kentucky. In Indianapolis, John L. Lewis, international president of the miners, predicted that the shutdown would be complete In 20 states and that at least 100,000 nonunion employees would join the unionized forces in the strike. The Mine Workers' union has a big stHke fund on hand. In Illinois In the last two years It has collected $7,750,- 000 from Its members. It Is estimated that the national strike fund is between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. Pennsylvania Leads in Members.
