1t was learned from Topeka that
Attorney General Richard ]. Hopkins

for service on White today.
Under the Kansas industrial law a
strike in an essential industry Is IL

stitutes an unlawful act, according to
the attorney general.
White defends his action under the
right of free press and free speech
and signitied that he was ready to test
the case.
1.-THE right to a free utterance of
honest opinions is fundamental
right. Our fathers fought for it at
Bunker Hill and at Gettysburg and to
restrict any man from the calm ex-
preston of an honest opinion merely
because there is strike on in Kansas

by a suppression of free utterance.

any other kind, so long as the opinion
is orderly and temperate and decent.
Is Not 100 Per Cent for Strike.
"As a matter of fact am not for
the striking railroad men 100 per cent.
They have a iust cause but they have
taken a foolish time for fighting for IL.
The governor thinks so per cent
is an incendiary amount of sympathy.

the card up and change the per cent
as the situation changes. So long as
the strike remains peaceful the per

urally rise. If they get out andaburn

fall. But SO long as the right to ex-
press any opinion is regarded as in
American duty to stand up and be
counted for free utterance."
The controversy had all Emporia ''by

Strike Situation in Kansas Be-
comes More Complicated.
''We Advise You to Reform" +"
Said Message to Governor.
ENCLOSE PHOTO MASKED men
Warning Follows Efforts to
Break Up Sympathy Signs.
X. X. X. Members Say Mer-
chants VIII Support Strikers.

Gravity of the strike situation in
Kansas and the course of Governor
Allen in upholding the industrial court
law was .magnified today when a
threatening letter was received by the
governor from mon purporting to
speak for the Ku Klux Klan. 1--WE
advise you to REFORM" was the veiled
threat in the note which mentioned
the governors effort to break up dis
playing of strike sympathy signs in
various towns.
Accompanying the note which was
mailed from Wichita-Governor AL
lens home town-was a photograph
of four robed ind masked klansmen.
1t was the first threatening note to
come from persons who presumed to
represent the ku Klux Klan.
The X. X. X. Letter.
The letter was written on plain sta
tionery and mailed from Wichita in
plain envelope. 1t follows:

you to reform. tx. K. K.'

With the note of warning against
Governor Aliens course in enforce
ment of the anti-picketIng provision
of the industrial court law was the
large photograph of the four robed
masked and silent klansnen. The
governor made no comment regard
ing the note. He read it to newspa

cation.
Recently Governor Allen prohibited
Ku Klux Klan sdepnonstrations in Ar
kansas City and Goffeyville. He Later
issued a statement to all law enforce
ment officials to the effect that any
appearance of men in mask would be
construed as violation of the state
law.
To Make Investigation.
Whether the warning which came
to the governor was directed from an
official Klan organization is not
known. An investigation will likely
be made at once to determine whether
strikers and strike sympathizers are
seeking to further acts of intimidation
thru use of the Klan name.

morning in a load of mail to the gov
