KU KLUX AND "OPEN SHOPPERS"
 IN LABOR HATING ALLIANCE
Kings, Kleagles and Other Klick Members Flock to Defense of Minneapolis Members Cor nered by Mayor Who Turns on Gang in
 Interests of Good Government.
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., May 1.-The "open shoppers" and the Ku Klux klan, the two most prominent ex- amples in the United States of organ ized hate and prejudice, have joined forces in Minneapolis to do by force and under cover of darkness that which can not be done peaceably and openly. Mayor Leach forced the mess into the courts and now the cat is out of the bag. It is an interesting story for trade unionists.
 At the last election the City Hall crowd, the "open shoppers" put Mayor George E. Leach into office under the impression that he would follow orders. But Mayor Leach de- veloped mind of his own and be- gan doing what he thought was right for the interests of all the citizens -of the city. When he failed to turn over to the local crowd the water power developed by a government erected high dam on the Mississippi, but instead advocated public control and use of this power developed by public money, plot was matched to kill Leach's future political pros pects So far the plot has proved a boomerang.
 K1an Enters Arena.
 One morning Minneapolis awoke to find that during the night there had been circulated throughout the city a leafet entitled "Voice of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." In it were charges of every kind, more particularly charges of immortality,

Police, and others. Mayor Leach fought back with the result that the Hennepin Grand Jury returned an indictment against five persons, in cluding the local cyclops The trial began May I. The activities of the grand jury indicated that the "open shop" group of Minneapolis and the ku klux klan were so closely inter locked that they could not be dis entangled.
 One of the persons indicted was Thomas Sullivan, a deputy sheriff said to be the chief organizer of the klan in Minneapolis. Sheriff Earle Brown immediately discharged him and got front page notice. Then it was announced that Sheriff Brown was himself klansman. People be- gan to wonder what would happen ii the ku kluX repeated in Minneapolis the Arkansas outrages against strik- ing workmen. Would they receive any protection from the sherif's of flee? Should they permit Mayor Leach and Sheriff Jensen to be driven out to make room for ku Klux Kllers2
 Meantime the Ku Kluxers are on trial and Simcnds and other kings and kleagles of the Kick from other parts of the United States are in Min neapolis to keep their brothers out of jail
 Ku K1ux on Trial.
 The answer has come from the Non-Partisan League of Minneapolis. At the last election this group of independents had their own candi- date and opposed Leachr Now, in view of Mayor Leach's stand, they will have no candidate in the next election but will support the present incumbent. He is not leaguer but apparently he is honest, and that seems to be all the leaguers ask for in Minneapolis mayor If honest he will need all the support they can give him.
