DEMOCRATS and
REPUBLICANS IN
BIG KLAN TANCLE
Both Old Wall Street
Parties Face Issue

WASHINGTON, May IA. - The
hope, long cherished by leaders of
both Republican and Democratic
parties, that the Ku Klux Klan issue
would not arise in this campaign to
plague them, has been dashed, and in
its place has come the certainty that
the question somehow must be met.
The Republicans have been brought
face to face with the issue by the
Klan victory in the Indiana primary.
Senator Underwood has raised it for
the Democrats and intends to use it
in reviving a presidential candidacy
which seemed about expiring of mani
nation.
Months ago, while the 1924 presi-
Dental election was in the dim fu-
ture, certain Republican politicians
got behind the fight to oust Senator
Earle B. Mayfield from the senate.
1t was known at that time that any
investigation of Mayfield would in
volve alleged Klan participation in
his nomination and election, and that
this would lead to a general investi-
cation of reported Khan activities ma
tionally. The Mayfeld inquiry now
going on shows every evidence of be-
coming a Klan investigation, unless
present lines of questioning are
stopped summarily.
Therefore, it would appear as tho
the Klan issue had been made a GER
tain factor in the campaign by those
who saw in the Mayfield case an op-
portunity to get revenge for the GUST
ing of Newberry.
Now all eyes are on President Cool
idge, to see what position he will take
with respect to Indiana's Klan con-
trolled Republican organization.
Senator Watson, ostensibly one of the
Coolidge lieutenants, has been quoted
as supporting Ed Jackson, the Klan
nominee for governor.
Will the president indicate his ap-
proval of this or of the anti-Klan
branch of the Republican party in the
Hoosier state, is the question now
being asked here. That he will be al
lowed to evade this choice no one
here believes. Means will be found
to place him on record, and naturally
what he says will be construed as
rejecting his attitude on the Klan not
alone in Indiana, but all over the
country.
Thus it becomes a definite factor
in the campaign.
Underwood, by demanding that the
Democratic party go on record
against the Klan, appears to some OBJ
servers here to be inviting an even
tual coalition with the AL Smith
forces.

RAILROAD WAGE

The United States Railroad Labor

tiations for wage increases are dead

Approximately $4,000 men and 80

KIDNAP GARMENT
STRIKER KRAUSE
GOING TO COURT
Held For Four Hours
Without Charges

Just as he was going up to appear
before Judge Charles M. Foell yester-
day, David Krause, one of the strik-
ing ladies' garment workers, was ac-
costed by two dicks from the states
attorneys office and rushed away
from the hall of the City-County
building.
Dudley Taylor, vicious Employers
Association lawyer, loaned to the
dress manufacturers, pointed out
Krause to Groves men, altho Taylor
knew that Krause was on his way to
court where Taylor was to prosecute
him.
Charges Kept Secret.
Krause was held from ten o'clock
to two o'clock without charges so that
he could not be bailed out. At two
he was released on bail but the nature
of the charges against him were not
made known. States Attorney Groves
Office denied knowledge of the case,
altho Krause had been held in their
Office Somewhere" for over four
hours.
Krause's case before Judge Foell
has been put off until May 23rd.
What Dudley Taylor expects to ac-
complish by his dirty tactics is far
from clear. He is not succeeding in
intimidating the workers striking for
their rights in the ladies' garment in
dustry. If he expected to get one of
the union members to turn against his
fellow workers, again he was fooled.
Taylor undoubtedly is disgruntled
and sore because Judge Foell has re-
fused to listen to his old bunk and
soak heavy fines on the strikers. But
If Taylor thinks he can get away with
any rough stuff" with these seasoned
fighters in the ladies' garment work
ers ranks, he is sadly mistaken, they
all agree.
The fifty cases before Judge "Den-
ME" Sullivan yesterday morning were
put over till Friday, May 10th. 1t
looks as tho "Dennie" just can't get
up enough courage to face the crowd
of strikers and hear their cases. This
is the fourth postponement he has
made.
Many of the strikers have been re-
strained from going on the picket line
on Market street and many who could
go are not, with the result that the
battle front is left unguarded except
by the bulls and dicks most of the
time. Those who have not yet gone
down on the line ought not to shirk
just because their fellow workers
have been picked up. The bosses
need lot Of reminding that strikers
have plenty of fight left.

Left Hall as Threat.

Lett Hall as Threat
The right wings threat against the
convention occurred when the dele
gates from the cutters locals, which
are the basis for the right wing
strength, left the hall in the midst Of
the discussion. They left the hall
with great ostentation for caucus
as threat against the union.
President Hillman admonished
them to return for the vote. The in
timidating tactics were plain to the
entire convention, but they worked.
Right Wings Strategy.
In order to have a record of "im-
partial decisions in relation to the
left wing, contests had been placed
by reactionaries against Local 5 dele
gates, all progressives. There was
no basis whatever for such protest
but it gave opportunity to give a de-
cision to the left before delivering
Local 2 to the right.
Delegate Catalonotti made a power
full speech pointing this out and also
the forces behind Local 2 Irregular
tiles when he called attention to the
fact that B. Charvey of the Jewish
Forward, had shown in his speech
earlier in the day that he was aware
of the decision of the committee be-
fore the convention had it. He Gre
ated deep stir.
Appearance of Vladek had been
carefully prepared for two days and
strenuous attempts were made to re-
turn it into a demonstration, but al
tho considerable noise was produced,
those who stood up to greetA hi We're
by actual count only 35. His fioyfery
and poetical speech was received as
good vaudeville should be with polite
applause, but his hidden political
thrusts against both left wing and
Hillman forces did not register in this
convention.
Danger To Amalgamated
The attitude of the cutters in theN
convention taken in consideration
with their participation in excluding
members of Local elections and
their demands for special considera-
ton in union negotiations in the past,
indicates the development of danger
to the Amalgamated that this union
will doubtless awaken to.
1t is equally a threat with that
other attempt of the right wing to
stir racial feelings and antagonisms.
Unexpected strength of left wing and
its militant fight in the convention
give hopes that such tendencies will
be overcome and that the sixth con-
vention of the Amalgamated will con-
solidate still further that solidarity
that has achieved such great things
in the past for workers in the mems
