PLOT TO DENOUNCE PINCH0T LOSES OUT Was Purpose of Mining and Oil " Men, to Throw Cold Water on Conservationists. . The people's denunciation of. Qallln ger and the "Interests ' continues to spread across the nation. The voice of disapproval h'as been heard from con servationists at St. Paul, Irrigators at Pueblo, and,, last but not least in Im portance, from the miner In Jjos An geles. The - pro-Ballinger. campaign, S,ald by his opponents to have been sys tematically planned and financially sup ported by capitalists, of which the Oug genhelms are types a,nd representatives, Is said to have nearly Come to an end when the American .Mining Congress, which has Just ended In Ijoi Angeles, re fused to give unqualified approval to Ballinger, though the session had been packed with enemies of .the Plnchot con servation policies by the Southern Pa cific and Standard Oil. . ; . , . The inside story of the 'American Mining .Congresa wastold yesterdayin Portland by' an authority.

';, Oil producers Attended that meeting and constituted m majbrity of those present. OU Kan PMk Xaatlnf. , Tha deal (wa! cleverly ; put through. The local hosts . of .the congress are given representation on the -floor and a voice, in tha proceedings.' The ,hosM was the .Sierra Madre club, wHbse menv bera are principally oil men. OU pro ducers are listed as miners because oil la a mineral and because it. is produced in conformity, with mining, laws. Con sequently the oil -men were allowed representation. Due to the extensive oil Interests In California, a strong district association has been formed. Many delegatea came to the congress. As a consequence most of those pres ent were oil men from the district or ganization and from the Sierra Madre. A shbrt time previously oil lands had been withdrawn, from entry by-order of tha president The Standard Oil and Southern Pacific agents cleverly Insinu ated that the withdrawals were kreault of the working out or the Plnchot poli cies, and that Plnchot was tolame. The oil men had been made .angry because of the withdrawals. It was not. hard to Induce them to transfer their anger to Plnchot - -s Balling-aril fcast' Stand. ' ? It was not explained that tha with drawals were the acta of Ballinger and the administration and not of Plnchot But thoughts of soma such nature must have been circulated among the fairer minded delegates to the convention, for when the resolutions were finally passed Plnchot was not called a "Socialist," as he had been in earlier reports, and there rwa much less approval for Ballinger. "That is because the 'mining men of this country think of Guggenheim when they think of Kamnger," said the man who told the story. 'They believe that Ballinger would administer, and does administer, tha affairs of hla office for tha -benefit of the greedy Ouggenhelms.
