PATERSON, N. j., Oct. a.
The ku Klux Khan of Passaic

cIared itself on the strike of silk
workers which is in its third
month in Paterson.
The khan announces support
Of Mayor Mclean in his efforts

ported and blames the strike
"that paralyzes the silk indus
try, one Of the industrial corner
stones upon which rests the
prosperity Of our city" on for
eign-born workers.
Pebble Some Old Bunk.
The khan charges that foreign agi-
tators who are not American citizens,
who are in this country solely thru the
sufferance Of our people and who in
most instances have, no intention of
becoming American citizens" maintain
the strike.

FOSTER SPEAKS
TO WORKERS OF
READING SHOPS
Steel and Metal Trades
Workers at Meeting
Rx JosEPH MANLEY.

BY JOSEFF1 NlNiNLGIs
Campaign Manager, Workers Party.
William z. Foster, presidential
candidate of the Workers Party,
addressed the largest revoIu-
tionary gathering held in recent
years in Reading, Pa, a former
stronghold of the socialist party.
Reading in the home Of James
Maurer, president of the State
Federation Of Labor.
Many Of Maurer's friends were
present at the meeting and their La
Toilette enthusiasm was very much
dampened when they observed the
large gathering Of workers who res.
ponded to the Communist address
made by Foster. The socialist party
q Reading formerly had fourteen
hundred members now it scarcely has
fourteen.
A feature Of the meeting, which
moved the audience deeply, was the
appearance on the platform Of Jacob
DOlla, formerly sentenced to a term in
the Eastern Penitentiary because Of
his activity in the 1919 steel cam.
paign. Dolla made stirring appeal
he was roundly applauded when he
declared: when they sent me to jail,
was only trade unionist, but when
J came out was a communist"
Workers Understand Foster
To this strictly working class aud.
fence, composed mostly of railroad
msn from Reading shops, steel work
ers and metal trades workers, Foster
in the language of the worker, got
across the Communist message and
the election program of the Work.
ers Party. His castigation Of Coolidge,
Dawes, Davis, and LaFollette was
none the less ruthless because Of its
touch of humor.
Speaking Of LaFollette, Foster
pointed out that the Wisconsin SEN
ator instead Of attacking and destroy
ing the force Of capitalism's power,
was attempting to patch it up. He
derided the LaFollette plank advocat-
ing a referendum on war, and stated
that. This protector Of capitalism is
chasing a will o. the wisp."
Foster Attacks Navy Day
Foster dealt at some length with
the question Of Imperialism, center
ing his attack upon the latest scheme
of American imperialists to celebrate
October q as Navy Day. Foster de-
clared: 1.-THE meaning Of the Navy
Day is precisely the same as that Of
Defense Day. Both are steps by the
employers to organize powerful ar
mics and naval armadas with which
they are to crush all opposition at
home and abroad. The fact that we
have special days set aside for the
militarist and navalist propaganda
shows clearly that our ruling class is
beginning another campaign Of pre-
paredness."
New Wars Looming
I'VE have troops in six South and
Central American countries today,
protecting the investments Of the cap
italists. War with Japan is looming,
because Of the struggle by the Ameri.
can capitalists and Japan, for con-
troll Of the Pacific" He declared:
Nothing can end capitalist war but
a social revolution, the dictatorship
Of the proletariat, and the organiza.
ton Of soviets.

TOO TRUSTING

I beg to inclose herewith a letter received by me in yesterdays mail, which I think, perhaps, you will be interested to insert:
 "Dere MT. Weyesman:-I gut yurc lettur about wat Eishler. Now be pachunt aint ferget yu. Plese wate. Wen sum fools pay me, pay you. If this wuz jujment day and yu wuz no more prepared to meat yure maker as am to meat this bill, yu shure wuld hay to go to hell. Trusting you will du this.

Empire by Governor Strong and when it suited the said Troy, bene- factor Strong was kicked out. There is no love lost in politics-pure business, you know. Since then Troy has been waxing fat upon the favors of the Republican Governor Scott c. Bone. Politics in Alaska is certainly queer, for the said Republican Gov ernor is now advising (quietly) his friends and Republican office hold CTS that "it will be impossible this year to vote for the Republican tick ct in Alaska" After a while he will get the nerve to say out loud "Vote the Democratic ticket"
 "President Coolidge's election, at this time, seems as certain as any thing can be in politics. Little doubt about that. But the people must give him a Congress of real Re- publicans that he may obtain en- actment of constructive legislation" National Republican Weekly.
 We object to the phrase must give" Under our system, whatever the people decide to give should be acceptable to citizens. whether he be a President or not. We refuse to be bourd by definite rules regarding our party allegiance. Candidates have right to stand for election from any party; it remains to the bona fide members of the party whe- ther or not the candidate will be accepted. If he is, he becomes their expression of party regularity. If he is defeated, then he must remain with the minority. It is impossible to hope for absolute unanimity.
 The fundamental wrong in Alaskan government is that the territory is governed without "the consent of the governed" The present federal bri- gade is imposed upon us without our consent. If they had been elected by the people, we could accept them with good grace-until the next cleo tion.

TRAP SHOTS


 departing this land? During his entire stay here, he has been an employee of the government? Per kaps the climate did not suit, else he might have stayed to become a part of the permanent" residents of our own beloved Alaska. Once in a great while, an eX-governmenr official stays in Alaska after his term of office expires. The Stars are fine people, handicapped by being related to royalty, but nevertheless. we feel that if they had been our neighbors Gin the states" we would have found them to be fine neigh bors.
 In the argument on the petition of P. E. Harris & Go. to enjoin the enforcement of the trap closing law which the Harris Company said should not be enforced because it was so difficult to obey it and it would cost so much money, special assistant U. s. Attorney H. D. Stab Ter told the court that the trapmen had a moral claim for relief from the law, but that the officers had no other recourse than to enforce the law and the regulations. "We would be glad to do anything we could to satisfy these claims but we know of no way and counsel for plaintiff has shown us none in which we can," he added. But there is a way. The Bureau of Fisheries have found the way and that is they have again shut their eyes to the fact that the majority of traps are not constructed so that they can be closed legally. The court has said that V-shaped opening will not do; but the trapmen have said the " shaped opening is what they will use. In the contest of law and or der. the Bureau of Fisheries has set aside law.
 Who are Republicans and under what obligations are they to support their party? Governor Scott c. Bone is a Republican, or is sup posed to be. But he comes into Ketchikan and says, "Of course, you understand that this year it will be impossible to support the Republican ticket in this Division." Which means that Republicans of his liking will vote the Democratic ticket.
 "Rule or ruin" is the system, and the men who have been sent to us because they are Republicans and as such rendered a service to the party, are merely Republicans because "there is money in it."

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1s.-Eastern

Western Washington and Oregon had
nearly ended the fire menace there.
Fires in Northern Idaho and North

burned. over several thousand acres
Of timberland and had destroyed the
surface workings Of four mines, a
number of ranch houses, and much
property Of lumber companies, in
cluding several hundred thousand
feet of timber. So far as known, no
lives have been lost, although a num-
ber of persons have been injured and
some live stock killed. Four persons
are missing in British Columbia.
Flames were close enough to seven
towns in the Pend O'Reille River VAL

loaded their belongings on railroad

LEGION PLEDGES
DEFENSE DAY AID
National Commander Writes
Secretary Weeks Assur-

By the Assoc ia ted Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August IA
Whole hearted cooperation of the
American Legion with the War De-
partment and civic and patriotic or
ganizations in the observance of Ma
tional Defense test day on Septem-
Der IL, is pledged by National Com
mander John r. Quinn Of the legion
in a letter to Secretary of War John
w. Weeks. made public at the ma
tional headquarters of the legion here
today.
The letter in which Commander
Quinn pledges the entire machinery
of the legion toward the success of
the test day program followed a re-
cent statement by Mr.. Quinn in which
he also Urged full cooperation by the
legionnaires.
"The American Legion stands whole
heartedly back of the test of our ma
tional defense, which is to be mace
on National Defense test day, Septem-
Der 12,' read the letter to Secretary
Weeks
THE entire machinery of the
Legion will Cooperate with the War
Department and with other civic and
patriotic organizations, to make
success OF this trial of our plans for
the defense Of the nation in time of
an emergency.
"The American Legion is not for
getful of the part played in 1920 in
the adoption of this defense plan. 1t
feels that the proposed test of our
national resources Is a wise and
necessary step, that we may know
how that plan will function.
"Nonpreparedness has been tried.
The horrible fruits of that lack Of
policy were manifested in the ter
rible loss of life which ACCOMPANIED
our slow and painful preparation to
play our part in the world war. The
American Legion does not want war,
but it realizes that in the present
world situation war may come. It
believes, therefore. that the only wise
policy is the prudent one Of prepared
ness to meet such crises as may arise
when they present themselves. In
that policy it conceives that the de-
fense test Of September IL has a
proper and essential part"

ers the United States by air better
than he could do it on a transcon-

the President, because he is not a

OF the presidency always make it en-
barrassing for nominee to spend too
much time away from the White

The people will see more of John
w. Davis than of the President. The
press may be partisan and give less
space to one candidate than the other.
as the case may be, but the radio will
be without that handicap. for both
Republicans and Democrats can hire
the air any night by simply paying

chancellor is able to announce that
the German delegation has returned
from London with q definite written
protocol, signed by the French pre-
mier, to the effect that the Ruhr will

There is no doubt whatever. 1t is
generally conceded, that the govern
ment would have the support of all
the political parties in a refusal to
agree to anything short Of complete
evacuation at an early date, and that
it is prepared to face the conse-
quences, however heavy, Of such a re-
fuSal.
The Berlin press emphasizes its con-
tention that the Ruhr occupation has
always been illegal, and that il the
French now show an unwillingness to
evacuate the area 1t would prove
clearly to the world that the French
policy still aims not at achieving an
understanding and friendly relations
with Germany, but as a perpetuation
Of distrust and i'll feeling between the
