William G. Lee, president Of the

big four" brotherhoods will seek the
abolition of the Railroad Labor Board
by act Of Congress. and that a bill

reassembling of the House to repeal
the provision of the transportation act

The Wizard and the Klan.

From Atlanta. under yesterdays

Edward Young Clarke. imperial
the Ku Klux Klan. late today issued
a statement denying that he had un-
masked the Ku Klux K1an in Georgia
or in any other part of the country.
The only thing he did, Mr.. Clarke
said. was to issue an executive order
for the time being all parades and
the use OF the mask and costume for
any purpose in Georgia by the klans-
men, except in the clavern or lodge
room of the khan"
Why the mask and the costume in
the lodgeroom? The members Of the
khan know one another and are prob
ably not themselves impressed with
the outlandish regalia prescribed. The
point has been to impress outsiders
to strike terror to the immature, the
superstitious and the helpless.
The fact is that the disguises and
the picturesque night paraders have
explaineds the growth of the khan.
They have appealed to young men Of
the ''larking" spirit. eager for q spree,
and without thought or care az to
consequences.

Distribution of Coal.

Secretary Hooyer's plan for federal
supervision of coal distribution aims
at two principal objects. The first
coal are available are placed where
they are most needed. and the second
is to prevent profiteering.
1t is not expected that the working
out of this plan will increase the sup
ply of coal. That is separate
undertaking, to be handled in q diff
ferent way. The production Of coal
is not, of course. sufficient to meet
the nations needs, but, properly dis
tributed, it will come much nearer to
adequacy than If some consumers are
permitted to hog more than their fair
share. The aim will be to keep in
operation essential public utilities and
such industries as are necessary to
the daily life of the people. with the
forwarding Of supplies to those remote
parts of the country which lack the
transportation facilities to be suffi-
ciently supplied after cold weather
sets in, even should there then be
full production.
The device to prevent profiteering
is very simple one. yet 1t ought
to prove effective. In fact. its SIM
plicity is major merit. Under its
emergency powers the Interstate Com
merce Commission has the authority
to regulate the movement and alloca-
ton of railroad rolling stock, and it
will allot no cars to mines which
refuse to sell coal at a fair price, at
least not until all the fair-price mines
have been fully served. The profiteer-
ing mine owners will not find much
profit in mining coal which cannot be
shipped, and the coal hogs who are
| willing to pay exorbitant prices for
more than their proportionate share
of coal will be equally undone by their
own avarice. Dealers who attempt
to make unseemly profits will not be
difficult to handle. 1t will only be
necessary to divert shipments from
who have consciences.
Legality Of the Hoover plan having
been approved by the Attorney Gen.
eral. it can begin to function as soon
as it is possible for the machinery
to be set up. And with the plan in
operation there will be less Of public
clamor for haste in solving the major
problem Of the mine strike. Though
the Hoover plan does not aim directly
at a settlement of the strike, 1t will
tend to a settlement more in the pub
lie interest by postponing the day
when the coal shortage will become
acute.

The Brass Rail for Women.

Mrs. Ida Clyde Clarke insisting upon
brass rail for the lounging room of
the projected new clubhouse for busi-
ness women in New York, has sentiment
and logic in her favor. 1t is a symbol of
socialbility that she demands the shin
ing adornment. Men did not miss their
drinks when prohibition came" she
says, nearly SO much as the privilege
of putting their feet on the brass rail
and talking things out And she woulC!
invoke for women in their new equality
with men every reasonable first aid to
the exchange of ideas
Presumably the brass rail at the wom-
ems club will not be placed before a
bar. So far as we have observed. milady
takes neither her afternoon tea nor her
chocolate sundae standing up We can
imagine the shining metal curving in
vitingly round the space in front Of a
generous open fireplace, inclosing what
might have been in another case a hos
pitable hearth. With dainty footgear
poised on the brass in the grateful
warmth of the lounge, what moments
there will be for self revelation.
OF one thing we are sure and glad.
In the brass rail of Mrs. Clarke's con-
ception there will be by no chance any
reflection Of that spectre of loneliness
known to many women who have ad-
ventured on their own in the wilderness
of this great business city.-New York

labor board Is vested by law with
the right Of decision upon questions
of wages and working conditions in
the transportation industry. I. has
no direct power to enforce its, de-
cisions. A large part of the public
perhaps majority-feels that the
transportation act should be amended
to give the board more power, to con-
stitute it a veritable court of arbitra-
ton to the end Of preventing injustice
both to the workers and the railroad
companies. Brotherhood Chief Lee,
probably speaking for the railroad
craftsmen. believes that 1t should have
less power-should have none, in fact.
Let this issue be decided, not by a
strike. but by appeal to the law
making body. and If the lawmaking
body will not, as at present con-
stituted, repeal the statute. let the
labor voters seek the election Of men
or women to Congress who will
change the law or repeal it.
That is the way to go about such a
matter. A strike Is the worst way.
1t costs tremendously. 1t causes
great suffering among those who are
seeking relief. and all their families.
1t imposes loss and hardship upon
others, not parties to the case,
through the curtailment of employ
ment in industries dependent upon
transportation. 1t threatens the coun-
try with industrial disaster. A cam
paign for a change of law. on the
contrary. is comparatively inexpensive

A Blow for Romance.

To please the crouch, romance is
m.a,le more difficult. Officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad have announc-
ed that the window sasheS of trains
will be put in such condition that
they can be raised or lowered easily.
Thus an ancient and honored excuse
for beginning friendships is relegated
to legend.
A stubborn window sash is Cupid's
best lieutenant. Charming Juliet
tries 1t, hurts her fingers; then re-
sumes her seat perspiring from the
exertion. Gallant Romeo crosses the
aisle, hangs the window frame,
braces himself and pulls until the
sash goes up with a crash. A show
Of strength, an aalmiring exclamation
of thanks. an exchange of names and
the trick is done. How many happy
couples have met under conditions
more favorable?

railroads. however, are tired married
men. absorbed in the afternoon news
papers, so the sashes must be made
to work easily. Romeo will suffer
some but will soon find other means.

The Ninth Virginia District.

Mr.. Slemp refuses to be drafted.
Your candidate cannot be- IL the
message he sends to the republicans
of the ninth Virginia district from
Colorado. where he has gone for his
health. In 1t he says:
The district Is republican in SEN
timent and should remain SO. Con-
vention should be Immediately reas-
sembled and some one nominated
who can make the race. With rea-
sonable effort he can be elected. To
that effect I will do all within my
physical powers.
This advice should be taken. The
strongest available republican in the
district should be nominated and sup
ported by the strongest organization
that can be effected. Mr.. Slemp
pledges all the assistance he can
render.
The ninth fs commonly known as the
Slemp district rather than as the Vir-
ginia republican district. Opinion has
become fixed that Mr.. Slemp is the
only republican who can carry 1t; that
with his personal popularity and his
prestige as man OF ana1rS removed
from the equation the district would
find place in the democratic column.
II this is true, that is where the dis
trict belongs. II it inclines to the
democratic party on principles 1t
should be counted for that party on
Capitol Hill. This is a government Of
principles. not of men.
Mr.. Slemp declines not only the
nomination. but the popular appraise-
ment Of his power at home. He does
not regard himself as the only pebble
on the beach. He names no names,
but suggests that another man be
chosen. and expresses the opinion that
the right man can be elected.

policies. as all so far have done. the
administration begins to take notice.
Mr.. Wilson when In Office pursued
different course. He openly sided
with democratic aspirants who had
sided with him. In two senatorial
primaries his disfavor cost two men
their places. Mr.. vardaman Of Mis-
sissippi and Mr.. Hardwick Of Georgia
were retired from the Senate because
of their differences with him.

plain terms as they can pluck up the
courage to voice their feelings they
resent his activities in party rows and
express the fear that they may have
an untoward party effect two years
hence.
