- Industry the country over must

within a few weeks if the rail and coal
strikes, continue, Henry Ford declared
Saturday in announcing the decision
of the Ford Motor Company TO close
it's plants at Detroit and in many other
cities on September 10 because OIL the
fuel situation. Mr.. Ford held financial
interests responsible for the Industrial
tie-up declaring the money harons
were manipulating the labor unions
and that public officials, state and ma
tional were impotent in the crisis. The
strikes would end. he continued, when
the majority Of the people are cold ana
hungry enough to resort to drastic &C.

- The Ku Klux Klan promises to be
an issue in Texas politics until after
the final elections in November, ac-
cording to a Dallas dispatch. 1t has
become a vital issue in the Democratic
party especially in the race for DEM
ocratic nomination for United States
senator, and is creeping into the race
for nomination for lesser state offices.
1t also has been bitter issue in GER
tain counties. The action of the
Republican state committee in oppos-
ing the Klan in it's platform, adopted
in conventiofis "a s Fort Worth, August 8,
preclude dropping the issue after the
Democratic primary Of August 26.
Politicians declare they see bic by the
Republicans for the anti-klan DEM
ocratic vote in the platform plank op-
posing the Klan. The Republicans, for
the first time in a number OF years
have a full state ticket in the field now.
Heretofore nomination on the DEM
ocratic ticket has been considered equal
to election, with only an occasional eX-
ception. There are few members OF
the Republican party optimistic
enough to declare they expect success
of their candidates this year, but they
do say they expect the Republican
vote will show an increase, aud the
Democrats will not have as easy time

on debate on the bill itself. 1t was sug-
gested, however, that there might be a
move to that end later should IL prove
necessary. Senator Underwood (Dem-
ocraO of Alabama, and Senator Borah
CRepublican) of Idaho, said they would
offer no objection to speedy action.
Senator Underwood gave formal notice
that his fight would be against passage

ing's veto in the event it was returned

al BY common understanding the SEN
