KU KLUX DISCARD
ROBES AND RECALIA

Atlanta, July 22.-The Knights OF
the Ku Klux Klan have been ordered
to discard their masks, robes and
other regalia except when in their
lodge rooms, it was announced here
tonight at headquarters of the or
ganization. The order as first made
public in letter to Governor Hard
wick of Georgia from E. Y. Clarke
imperial wizard protein, mentioned
only Georgia klansmen but later it
was stated the order was general.
The imperial kloncilium or govern
ing body Of the khan, passed rule
more than a year ago, it was stated
prohibiting the wearing of the masks
and regalia except by permission OF
the imperial wizard, and it was stated
tonight that the present order means
that effective at once no such permis.
sion will be granted except for pa
rades. Clarke's letter to the govern
or, however, stated that he had issued
orders 'forbidding all further parades
or the use of the masks or other cos
tunes of the khan in the state Of
Georgia except in the lodge rooms
until further orders"
Investigation by klan officials of
any unauthorized wearing of khan re-
gala and of lawlessness by persons
wearing such costumes also had been
ordered, Clarke's letter said. He
added that he could not believe the
governor "antagonistic to the, klan'
and Governor Hardwick who had urg-
ed that the klansmen unmask, replied
that he had no personal hostility or
animosity" towards the organization
Outrages by bands Of masked men
have increased in the last year, Gov
ernor Hardwick added, and expressed
his appreciation Of the unmasking OF
der and also of Clarke's statement
that the khan is not regulatory
body" He reiterated his stand that
"there is no room in Georgia for any
organization, secret or otherwise
which sets itself up as . censor OF
the conduct of the citizens of this
state, which undertakes to try such
citizens in secret lodge rooms and tt
execute it's DEGREES by the power OF
the mob above our laws and outside
losir courts"

"2. Establishment of a national ad-
justment board.
"3. Rehearing of the wages and
rules dispute by the labor board.
~. Roads to dismiss all lawsuits
growing out of the strike.
"5. Restoration of seniority rights
to the strikers"
Mr.. Hooper asserted that his in
vestigation had convinced him that
no serious obstacle is to be found
to peace in any of the points except
the fifth.
further progress was seen in the
statement issued last night by Mr..
Jewell, however, in which he said:
There are three principal issues
now preventing possible settlement
Of the controversy which are found in
the refusal Of the railway executives
IL. To discontinue contracting out
work.
"2. TO establish national board of
adjustment.
%. TO continue seniority rights of
employees who suspended work."
1t was pointed out that the last list
of demands contained only one of the
original three grievances which re-
suited in the strike call - that relat-
ing to the discontinuance Of outside
contracting-and it was indicated that
almost every road in the country al
ready had agreed to stop this prac-
tice. The omission of the original de-
mands relating to wages and rules oc-
casioned some comment, the belief be-
ing expressed that the shopmen finally
had decided to agree to rehearing of
these points by the labor board. Sim
liar action averted q threatened strike
by approximately 400,O 900 maintenance
Of way men at the time the shopmen
walked out.
With the question of the return to
the strikers of their seniority rights
standing, according to the assertions
-of Mr.. Hooper and Mr.. Davis, as the
principal stumbling block to a settle
ment, Mr.. Hooper was asked on his
arrival from Washington tonight
whether the labor board would bring
both the rail heads and strike leaders
before 1t with q view toward ending
the strike without further delay.
~ can not say a word" was his
only reply.
w. L. McMenimen, labor member of
the board, who was largely instru-
mental in averting the threatened
strikes Of maintenance Of way men,

annpunced tonight that he will confer

LABOR BOARD PLANS NO MOVE
r.. TO END SHOPMENS STRIKE

Chicago, July FL (By the Associated
Press). - No further action toward
ending the railway shopmen's strike
is contemplated by the United State
railroad labor board at this time, Rem
w. Hooper, chairman of the labor
board, announced tonight on his re-
turn from conference with President
Harding at Washington.
While Mr.. Hooper was meeting the
government officials in Washington B.
M. Jewell and other strike leaders
were in conference with James J..
Davis, secretary of labor, at Moose
heart, Ill.
At the end Of the meeting and be-
fore departing. for Washington Mr..
Davis expressed the belief that the
strike could be settled at once if the
roads would restore the seniority
rights of the strikers and the labor
board would take up the questions in
dispute.
In discussing the hopes Of a settle
ment members Of the labor board re-
viewed the progress of the strike since
its inception July 1. They pointed out
that the strike vote which precipitated
the countrywide walkout was taken
on three questions. These grievances
We're given in strike bulletin issued
on July z, by Mr.. Jewell, which said:
The present strike centers around
these issues:
81. Establishment of unjust wages
by decisions of the United States la
bor board.
"2. Establishment Of unjust work.
ing conditions which curtailed over
time pay allowed under government
operation.
80. Contracting out of shop work
to evade the application of the law
as provided by the transportation
act"
Early last week, however, Chairman
Hooper after ten days of conferences
with rail heads and strike leaders, is
sued statement giving the striking
shopmen's program as five points in
stead Of the original three and assert
ed 1t was one of the two supplemental
points that of the restoration of
seniority rights added only after the
Inauguration of the strike--that then
stood in the way Of settlement. He
