British Unemployed
Stage Big Demonstration
In the Cities of England

LONDON, Sept. demonstration
by the unemployed were held in many
places throughout England yesterday
ders were narrowly averted. An
ugly spirit was in evidence at Bris-
toll, where a crowd attacked the build
ing occupied by the board Of guard
ians and clashed with the police. In
the ensuing struggle banners were
broken and a red flag was captured
by the police. Finally, the gates be-
fore the building were opened and
large body of constables charged
upon the crowd, which was dispersed,
but the windows in a hundred shops
were smashed by the manifestants.
Exciting scenes also were witness
ed in Liverpool. After an encounter
with the police, unemployed workers
presented to the council a ten-minute
ultimatum, threatening that at the
expiration of that time they would
not be responsible for the conse-
quences. The lord mayor subsequent
ly appeared and assured the leaders
that a plan would be formulated for
finding work.
One Of the most notable demonstra-
lions occurred in Wales, where 1000
people marched across the mountains
from Abertil1ery to Tredegar, a dis
lance of twelve miles. A similar
manifestation in Sunderland culmi-
mated in an attempt to force the
gates of the workhouse. Failing in
this, members of the crowd entered

Building Tradesmen
Plan Meeting to
Discuss Wage Cut

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Judge Lands,
sitting as arbiter in the building
trades wage controversy here today,
handed down a decision which made
wage cuts varying from ten to 3S
per cent from the old uniform rate
of $1.25 an hour for skilled workers.
Builders and architects declared
it most momentous ruling and pre-
dicted that It would become the
basis for settling similar difficult
ties throughout the United States.
Officials of the unions affected by
the wage reductions said a meeting
of union representatives tomorrow
be submitted to a union mass meet
ing Friday night. 81 feel that if we
can point out to Judge Lands where
in some of the wages he fixed are
unjust he will readjust them" said
Thomas Kearney, president Of the
building trades council.
Officers of the carpenters union
tration agreemnt, declared their
members will demand the old wage
of S1.25 an hour, but contractors
asserted they would offer the car
penters $1.10, the rate set for ma
sons.
Eight of the forty-four buildings
trades ruled upon by Judge Lands
will receive less than s? cents an
hour and ten crafts, which are in
the laboring class, will receive sew
enty cents. Excavating laborers
and composition roofing teamsters
will receive less than 20 cents.
Considering the elimination of all
restrictions on labor saving machin-
cry and materials save prison made,
Judge Lands estimated the saving
in actual cost of building would be
a bOut twenty ner cent.

KU KLUX KHAN THREAT TENS
SUITS AGAINST NEWSPAPERS

ments to prove them or bear the
consequences.
1T is true that the KuK Klux is
Protestant organization for native
born white Americans only. The
Professionals have as much right to
organize a patriotic, fraternal order
as have the Jews. the Catholics or
any other class of people.
1.-The charge was first made that
the Ku Klux Khan was being organ
lied to annihilate the negro. Now
it is admitted even by our enemies
Incidental, SO they are attacking us
on the ground that we are anti-Cath-
Ollie and anti-Jewish.
I'm point of fact there are scores
of organizations composed exclusive
ly of Catholics and Jews, out it
would be unjust to charge, on ac-
count of that fact, that they are anti
Protestant Or aati-Gentile, or to
charge, that they are making wal, on
PrOteStantS or GentileS.
Public Officials in Khan
"The statement that this organiza-
ton specifically instructs it's organ
izers to seek to enroll, first of all,
officers of the law or other public
officials is without foundation. On
the contrary the instructions give
ments about the ku KluX Khan or
about those connected with it in Off
early stages men in politics or men
holding office by vote of the people.
1t is true that many officers of the
law have come into the organization
and we are proud of them. Partcu-
larly are we proud because their
presence proves that the Ku KluX
Khan does not countenance lawless-
ress in any form. They could not
remain members without violating
their oath of public office if we were
a lawless organization or counte-
nanced lawlessness in any form.
when the New York World arti-
cles are completed, if they have pre-
sented any charges Warranting an
answer, the ku KluE Khan will an
swer them in detail. The opening
article seems to indicate that the en-
tire series is built mainly upon a
statement recently issued by a dis
gruntled seeker of office in the order,
and statement by a kleagle who
was dismissed for conduct and char
acrcr unbecoming a Kiansman.
I'm the meantime, not only the
World and all other publications
making false statements, but also
all individuals making false state
cial or other capacity, will be held
to strict accountability"

German Marks
Fall to 1.O1 Cents

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-German
marks, the normal value Of which
was $3.50 cents before the war, to-
day fell to 1.O1. cents in the local
market.
This is the lowest quotation for
this remittance at this center since
the early part of 1920. The further
collapse seems to have been precipi-
tated by cables from Berlin, which
reported another slump in the value
of the mark at all important German
trading centers.
The Berlin Boerse, the same ad-
vices stated, probably would be
closed until next week to enable
members to catch UP with their high
pressure Of activity caused by eX-
cessive speculation.
Local dealers reported little more
than a nominal market for marks,
although German interests are be-
lieved to have been among the re-
cent heavy buyers of raw cotton;
All other leading foreign bills,
notably the British rate, were active
and strong, sterling showing an
early gain of two and a half cents
to the pound.
