All Chicago Joins in
Protest Against Rail
Labor Board Decision
By CnIxrrsaI Serricc.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Chicagoans in
every walk of life, from the hum.
blest to the highest. today denounced
the Railroad Labor Boards rejection
Of the living wage fer workmen.
Lawyers, doctors, scientists, ex-
perts in economics. leaders in public
life. and the everyday man In the
street" Joined in protest against the
boards reasons for refusing more
than a 2-cent an hour increase to
maintenance Of way men.
All praised the stand taken by
William Randolph Hearst in his edi-
torial warning that the country can.
not benefit from wage reductions.
All upheld the position Of A. o.
Wharton, labor member of the board.
Decision Called Un.American.
Wharton himself openely de.
nounced the majority statement as
containing untruths, being un.Ameri.
can. and depriving sections OF hu.
manity OF the right of decency. He
said:
"I was not permitted TO see the
majority statement before writing
my dissenting Ceinion.
Now that | nave read IL l find
that It Is fantastic, fallacious, con.
tains untruths. and in some places
presents alleged arguments which on
their face are impossible.
THE majority statement speaks Of
a 500, 200, 900 increase II has given
the maintenance of way men. On
the same methods of figuring, 1t cut
their pay $50, 900, 900 in the July de.
cision, so the railroads are still S30,.
000, 900 to the good.
at speaks of the cost of living, but
II does not explain how a laborer can
support himself and family on $51 a
month.
1T does not explain that the imi.
tation pay increase 1t granted means
only IL cents day for each man.
1T says nothing OF the poor men
who live In shaCks, box cars, and
boxes set up on four posts.

Living Wage Essential, Wharton
Says, in Dissenting on Pay Case
What Majority Says
Of Hearst Editorial

THIS is what the majority members of the Railroad
Labor Board say about Mr.. Hearsts editorial which
Mr. Wharton quoted part of his dissenting opinion
THE lengthy newspaper article Of William B. Hearst
incorporated in the dissenting opinion is not evidence
in this case. Mr.. Hearst not cross ex-
amned is it shown that he expert questions
of the here involved Insofar the article in ques
tion is adopted the views of the sgners OF the dis
senting opinion it is pertinent and important but
discussion of its many faaces and need
not be entered upon in detail.
1T is worthy of note however that this article thus
approvngy quoted contains the statement that the un
ustiable lowering of the shopmens wages caused the
strike Such statement adopted and endorsed in an
official document by member of this board deserves at
least, brief comment
I'm the judgment of the labor board, and, believe
of great majority of the people, the shopmens strike

nation OF wage disputes TO take into
consideration living wage in the
particular locality involved in the
controversy.
Chairman Cummins announced to
the press at the time that the broth

suggestion. He added that he
thought the railroad workmen were
entitled to have the amendment in.
serted In the law and that he would
favor 1t. In fact, II was generally
understood that Senator Cummins
had drafted and carried In his pocket
bill providing for the amendment,
In addition to a number of other
changes designed TO meet the strike
situation. Tentative plans to hold
hearings were made. but owing to
the press OF other business on the
legislative calendar and the subse-
quent development that the strike

was decided 10 let the matter go over.
As the question now stands before
the committee. 1t Is unfinished busi-
ness. on which the committee will
get busy early in the next session,
When II was laid aside in the past
session, 1t was definitely understood
that it should be left open for the
coming session.
Strong Sentiment In House.
Sentiment in the House is even
stronger than in the Senate for a liv-
ing wage. A number of bi'1s~ for the
abolition Of the Labor Board are
pending on that side. President
Harding's expected recommendation
to bring II to Washington and merge
II with the Department of Labor will
be cordially received.

GREAT BEND, Kans.. Oct. III
The principal menace OF the ku hluA
klan is in the lawlessness 1t suggests
1t arouses the mob spirit ana us
policy OF secrecy and masking pro.
vides a cloak behind which acts OF
outlawry and crime are committed.
While these acts may not be always
committed by Klansmen they are
committed under the cloak adopted
by the Klan. When We seek for the
responsible heads of this order they
cannot be found.
Yesterday a new masked order call
ing itself the True Blue made Its ap.
pearance in Oklahoma. Its masked
members attempted to carry away
the constable Of a township ana
when the fight was over one man
was dead and several wounded. 10.
morrow 1t may be another masked
order wearing black masks.
Reign Of Terror.
Every day there comes to me some
terrorized man asking permission to
arm himself because he is afraid OF
the klan. The furtiveness with
which the Klan is carrying on Its
work, the terrorism il inspires and
the deeds that have been done In its
name, all unite to produce condi-
tiOn that cannot be tolerated In a
State that believes in law and order.
The attorney general has been di'
rected to bring proceedings OF custer
against the order as soon az he can
-oacte the responsible heads of 1t.
1t has no charter to do business
In this State, as all Incorporated
corporations doing business in Kan
sas must have. II the ku klux
klan continues to grow and the re-
taliatory measures also multiply then
We will have in the United States the
dangers of race war. We will also
have in many communities that
curse which has buthed Ireland in
blood, a war between religious big
OTIS.
There exists in the laws OF this
land protection TO every man in his
civil and religious rights. The ad-
ministration of these laws Is in the
hands of a government created by
the people. To set up now the theory
that any organization may have the
right to take the law into its own
hands. is to destroy all that has been
builded through the sacrifice Of those
that have given their lives t. build
here free land.
