This activity on the part OF the

Sidney Webb stated that the LABOR

which can and should be brought TO
Parliment for action, and second, that
they pledge themselves to lend any

In view of the fact that 1t Is largely
believed that the Labor Party wlthih

today made the following state
a. ment:
Just one year ago one of the staff
officers of the National Association
wrote a letter to the headquarters of
the Ku Klux Klan in Atlanta ana III
reply received an application for mem
bership blank and some other litera-
ture of the Klan. This was the begin
ming of the fight which the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People has kept up against
the Ku Klux Klan ever since.
After considerable correspondence,
we secured enough information regard
ing the Kan to give wide spread puD-
licity to it and to show its real pur-
poses. We placed the evidence that
we had gathered into the hands Oh
the Mayor of the City of New YORK,
Governor of New York State, Police
Commissioner of New York and the
District Attorneys Office, and also in
to the hands of the Department OF
Justice at Washington. Later n mem
her of our office staff made the trip
to Ocoee. Florida and investigated the
Ku Klux Klan riots in that town IN
which twenty-five to forty colored peo-
pie were killed.
The first mass meeting in New York
against the Ku KluX Klan was held
under the auspicies of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People on the 3rd of january.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of ColOred People has not
only fought the Ku Klux Klan from its
National Office and through It's
branches by publicity, by mass meet
ings and by appealing to the eauthorl-
ties. it has also fought the klan as 1t
is qlorified in the infamous moving
nicture-"The Birth of Nation. In
return the Klan through its organ, Inc
Searchlight, launched vicious attack
onoinst the n. A. A. G. p, and USED
every means in its power to intimidate
members of the Association in the
