INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May 1s.-The
Indiana realm of the Ku Klux Klan
was in open revolt today against the

D. c. Stephenson, elected Grand
Dragon by Klan representatives from
ninety-one of the ninety-two counties
in the state, announced that the In
diana Klansmen had thrown off all
the outside control that was not in
harmony with their purposes. He
charged national officers of the Klan
with prostituting the organization for
political purposes and called for a
general house cleaning within the in
visible empire.

mean secession" Stephenson ex-
planned. "We are going to defy the

INJUNCT|ONS ON
FOOD PICKETS
Freund Rushes To Aid
Of Greek Friends

Judge Hugo Freund again stepped
to the aid Of his friends, the Greek
restaurant bosses, by granting an in
junction that attempts to restrain
picketing of seven more restaurants.
The injunction is directed against
the Amalgamated Food Workers
union, which is striking against the
12 to 14-hour day in the eating houses.
Five writs had previously been issued.
"The fight will go on until victory -
announced District Organizer Charles
H. Keller, when he heard of the writ.
A big mass meeting will be held in
Ryan's hall, 6512 Cottage Grove ave-
nue., tonight to spread the strike to
more restaurants.
The joke of Freund's Injunction is
that four enjoined restaurants, the
Armore, 1850 Argyle avenue; the two
William Karras restaurants at 5O12
Broadway and 1141 Bryn Marr, and
the New Diana at 1868 Argyle ave-
nue., are not yet ON strike.

candidate escaped the tornado.

CAL s TAX RELIEF
FOR RICH FACES
TEST THIS WEEK
Against Bonus And For
Mellon Plan

WASHINGTON, May 13. - Presi
dent Coolidge's taxation program will
face its crucial test this week. Three
important developments affecting the
tax reduction question are expected.
l. President Coolidge's expected
veto of the bonus bill and congress
sional reaction to this.
2. Decision whether the tax bill,
now in conference between senate
and house, can be made more near
ly to approximate the Mellon pro-
gram, which the president favors.
3. The fate in congress of Mr..
Coolidge's veto of the Bursum pen
sion bill, which entails further
drain on the treasury.
Possibility of a veto of the tax bill
should it come to the White House
in the shape it passed the senate, is
intimated in quarters close to the
president. IT, Mr.. Coolidge disap
proves the tax measure, he could al
the same time ask congress to pass a
resolution providing for the 25 pei
cent reduction ins this years income
tax and make the Mellon program one
of the campaign issues.
Mr.. Coolidge has until midnight
May 16, to act on the bonus bill II
not approved or disapproved by that
time, the measure automatically will
become law.
