LAWLESS BANDS UNCHECKED
IN TEXAS
Nameless Outrages Committed On In
offensive Citizens Guiltless
of Crime or Offense
(By Federated Press)

Dallas, Texas-The Ku Klux Klan
is riding unchallenged throughout
Texas, in insolent defiance of the law,
wreaking it's vengeance upon whom
it's fancy directs, while the elected
upholders of claw and order" put their
tongues in their cheeks and say
nothing.
Within a few short months 13 men,
10 of them white, have been seized
upon, tarred and feathered and ban
ished from homes and friends. For
the three Negroes who incurred the
displeasure of the mobs-not always
identified as Klansmen-more pain
full tortures, were reserved.
The latest assaults occurred in Goose
Creek on two white men, B. l.. Bloods-
worth and Olan Jones, charged with
being undesirable citizens" AL
though no definition of the "offense"
has been transmitted here, the term
undesirable" probable means that the
men were attempting to organize the
oil workers in the vicinity.
R. H. Lenert, lifetime resident of
BRENNAN, was whipped, tarred and
feathered on the night of June 8 be-
cause he spoke German. l. Collins,
Negro, of Bolton, was given between
SO and 60 lashes on the night Of June
16, after the grand jury had failed TO
indict him on the charge Of insulting
a white woman. Edward Fingers Of
Dallas was tarred and feathered on
the night of June 13 for reason yet
underlined. Recently he had been ac-
quilted of insanity and granted a
divorce from his wife. One Of the
first victims of the mob in Tevas was
w. J. Boyd, a white attorney of
Houston, whose "offense" was that he
represented Negroes in divorce suits.
Only one of the 13 victims is max
ing an attempt to apprehend and pun
ish his assailants. He is Dir. j. S.
Paul of Beaumont, a white physician
concerning whose "crime" deadly
silence has been maintained. District
Judge Davidson, who charged the dis
trict grand jury to indict identified
members of the mob, has received a
characteristic letter of warning which
he has seen fit to ignore.

Cut Refused
DENIES A WAGE
REDUCTION
Chicago Packers and the Pullman ca.
Lose Out Before Court Judge and
Railroad Labor BOarI
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-The packers request to
cut wages of the packinghouse work
ers five cents an hour has been denied
temporarily by the arbitrator, Judge
Samuel Alschuler, to whom the mat
ter was submitted some weeks ago.
The application of the Pullman Co.
to reduce the wages of it's shop en-
ployes and clerks IL per cent was dis
missed by the United States railroad
labor board This disposes of a dis
pute that started May 23 when the
company served notice that it would
cut wages July l.
The packers ask permission to have
the wage reduction effective from June
10, but Judge Alschuler has de-
clared he would not authorize any re-
ductions pending completion of the
hearing, both sides to the controversy
having presented voluminous briefs
which are now being gone over.
In the case of the Pullman COM
pany evidence presented to the rail
road labor board shows that out of it's
10000 employees only 6,172 attended
mass meetings called by the company
on June 2 for the purpose of voting
on the question of accepting or re-
jecting the proposed wage cut. Of
these 2,246 voted to accept, 2,220
negatived the motion and 1,706 de-
clined to vote. The board held that
the wage conferences should have
been held with "duly-elected repre-
sentatives of the employees"
The Pullman company for years has
declined to deal with union officials
and has evolved an industrial rela-
tions plan"-company union-which
organized labor has been fighting
Similarly it is charged by Dennis
Lane, secretary of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Work
mems Union, that the packers had
violated the arbitration agreement by
organizing company unions.
AS one result of this, Lane de-
clared, wages in the packing industry
are lower than in any other industry
in the country. The average wage
paid to packing house employees is As
cents an hour, and most of the men
work only 40 hours a week. The
majority receive about $18 a week.

Church Body Kicks
On "Red" Methods
(By Federated Press)

New York-Still another church
body has paid it's respects to official
heresy-hunting and "red" batting, in
laguage which, while dignifed and re-
strained, makes it plain that the
religious organizations of the country
are alive to the attempts of reaction
ary influences to stigmatize as "bol-
shevistic" all efforts of the workers
to maintain decent living and work
ing conditions. This time it is the
New York Presbytery, which, in an
emphatic protest against the methods
and conclusions of the odoriferous
Lusk committee, questions whether
it is "the proper function of COM
mittee of the legislature to pass judg
ment upon the teaching of ministers
of the Gospel"
The Presbytery, commenting upon
the Lusk committees report deplor-
ing the "ever-growing tendency" Of
clergymen to concern themselves
with the well-being of their focks,
calls attention to the fact that the
Luskers excuse the tendency on the
plea that clergymen are grossly un-
derpaid and "thus unable to see eco
nomic problems in their proper pro-
portions"
The actions of the local Presbytery
follows closely upon that of the dio-
cesar convention of the Episcopal
church which upheld Bishop Charles
D. Williams of Michigan, who in an
address here declared the real enc
mics of the country were those eX-
ponents of reaction who are seeking
to destroy freedom of speech and of
the press. The convention refused to
consider the proffered resignation of
Bishop Williams, and approved reso-
lutions supporting his right to speak.

Hoggish Paper Co.
Asks For Wage Cut
(By Federated Press)

New York-Wage conferences here
between the officials of the Interna-
tional Paper Company and union rep
resentatives have not yet accomplish
ed anything. After three days dur
ing which attempts were made to ar
rive at a basis for proposals to sub
nit to the striking employees, it was
announced that no more conferences
would be held for the present.
The International, known as the
Paper Trust, is the largest of the
paper manufacturing concerns which
on April 10 served notice on their
employees Of 80 per cent wage re-
duction, discontinuance of overtime,
and restoration of the nine-hour
day. The company's annual report,
made a few days previously, showed
the largest profits in it's history. 1t
earned in 1920 more than $52 share
on its common stock.
The International has modified it's
wage proposals since the strike be-
gan, according to John T. Burke, pres
ident of the International Brother
hood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper
Workers, who declared that on May
Il the company made a proposal
equivalent to wage reduction of 21
per cent, with hours and conditions
to remain unchanged. This was re-
jected by the workers.
A referendum has been taken by
the various unions in the paper mills
other than the International, on a
proposal for arbitration made by the
manufacturers, and the result of this
is expected to influence the situation
with respect to the International.

HINDU IDEA OF "SEVEN SEAS"
Writer in Boston Herald Shows That
Expression Is Older Than the
English Language.

The question as 10 the origin and
meaning of the term THE Seven Seas
having been raised in this column, l
am surprised. says writer in the
Boston Herald, that us yet no one has
called attention to the fact that the
expression is far older than the Eng
fish language, antedating even the
science Of geography as we under
stand it. In prehistoric Hindu thought
our world consists as to its solid parts
Of seven cOncentric, continental Dvi-
pas, whose names are Jambu, Plaksha,
Salmali, Kusa, Kra uncha, Saka and
Pushkara. According to the sacred
Vishnu Purana: "They are surrounded
sevcrally by seven great seas-tle sea
Of salt water Uavana). of Sugar-canc
juice (Ikshu), Of wine (Sura), Of clar-
fed butter (Sarpis), or c,rtls OadhD,
Of milk (DugdIa), and Of fresh water
Uala). Jambu-dvipa is the center Of
all these, and in the copies Of this is
the golden mountain Meru" Jambu
is the dvipa occupied by human be-
irgs. NIeru the indescribably glorious
North polar mountain 10y which the
portal to the heaven or heavens is at
tainablc.
In oriental literature, therefore, the
expression ''the seven seas has no ref
ercnce to the bodies Of water nametl
seas by our geOgraphers, but is an in
tcrcstins survival Of the geocentric
world view which We Of the western
nations have lost. but which all ortho-
doX RrahminS and Bu1dhists still hold
sacred and true. Its recent appear
ance in occidental literature is doubt
less more due to Kipling than TO any
other writer.

Just because your children have
never had any desire to taste the con-
tents of bottles and pill boxes in your
medicine closet. and just because they
are not of the inQuisltive, prying type,
is no good reason to be sure that they
never will be. In any household where
there are children there ought to be
high shelf, inaccessible to any save
adults. or preferably cupboard with
key in which to keep whatever poi
sons you deem it necessary to hay"

keep many poisons. II it is necessary
to have some actual poison or some
strong drugs during an illness it Is

Thrift Better Than Riches

It's not always the amount Of money
that makes a fellow independent. In
fact the fellow that leans on money
alone is sure to be the loser in the
end. Money is merely convenience,
One must learn to help himself and
lean on his own character and habits
if he is to succeed. SO the thrift chap
makes a place for himself and then
fills it to the circumference. And
when he does it well it's only mat
ter Of time until he will spread out
beyond the confines of the limits he
has set for himself and influence every
one he touches. And the thrift habit
becomes so much part Of his nature
that he will try to max" converts to
his ideals and help them succeed III
