SPOKANE R. R.

FL. CONVENTION
Want Class Party OF
Workers-Fa farmers
Especial to The Daily worker)


SPOKANE, Wash, April 16.- Not
all of the organizations of the Rail-
road Brotherhoods in the United
States are for the conference for
Progressive Political Action. This is
indicated by the following resolution
adopted by Spokane Lodge No. 252, of
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, at a
recent meeting.
We, the members Of Spokane Lodge
252, declare that the Industrial work
ers and exploited farmers must be
represented in the Presidential cam
paign of 1924, by Farmer-Labor Par
ty, with a program representing the
class interests Of the Industrial work
ers and farmers.
We, therefore, declare our support
Of the convention to be held on May
Goth in st. Paul, Minnesota, for the
formation of such party. We are
opposed to delaying vne convention
until after the conventions Of the old
parties as we are now convinced that
neither the candidates nor the pro-
grams of either the republican or dem
ocratic parties are of any Importance
in deciding the question whether the
farmers and industrial workers shall
organize a mass party which will
fight their political battles.
We instruct that copy of this re-
solution be forwarded to the organize
ton committee in charge Of the work
Of calling the May goth convention
and be published in the labor press.
Adopted by Spokane Lodge No. 252,
B. r. G. Of A., this 18th day OF March.

Assails Bill Making
Immigrants Furnish
Military Records

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Repre-
sentative Berger of Milwaukee made
"a losing fight, in committee of the
whole house during debate on the i'm
migration bill, against the clause COM
pelling the alien to bring with his ap-
plication for entry into this country
a complete dossier of his military,
criminal or other record.
1T is an axiom Of civilized nations"
he said, ito consider a person honest
and innocent until the contrary is
proven. According to the proposition
before us, the immigrant is supposed
to have prison record. The great
bulk of the immigration Of the past
100 years was honest. 1t was nothing
like the immigration Of the seven
teenth century, when every immigrant
to certain parts of the American col
onies had a prison record, because
Great Britain used large sections of
her possessions as penal colonies.
We know from history that in those
days English judges used to deport
Anglo-Saxon criminals instead of
hanging them. Pickpockets, thieves
and prostitutes were sent to these
shores in that way. Many of the
criminals became successful citizens.
and some descendants even Revolu-
tionary sires, I suppose.
"But l cannot see why we should
ask questions of that kind Of the pres
ent immigration. Moreover, under
the provisions of this bill the burden
of proof is put upon the immigrant.
Is it any business of ours what the
military record of an immigrant was
in Bulgaria, or Russia, or France. or
Germany? Suppose he had no mill
tary record at all; that might make
him a very desirable immigrant"

BOSSES court
SCORES HEAVILY
FOR ITS OWNERS
Unique D e cisi o n In
West Virginia.
fhx The Federated Pressl

A mans home is not his castle If
it is owned by the company for which
he works, according to a recent deci-
sion of the West Virginia supreme
court which appears to reverse one of
the Oldest legal safeguards to the
common man. With the decision as
precedent employers may rapidly de-
velop situation in which the MAORI
ty of workers occupy their homes on
ly on sufferance.
The court finds the mans home
his castle" theory indefensible in a
case where the house is an essential
part of the company's plant. In such
a case he is not even a tenant unless
it be on sufferance and he may be
summarily elected as a trespasser
the day he voluntarily quits working
for the company.
Laws Protect Rich.
This decision was handed down in
the case of Wat Angel, coal miner,
VS.. Black Band Consolidated Coal Co.
Of Kanawha county. Angels family
and possessions were thrown out of his
house in winter weather and remain
ed only partially covered in the open
for four days with considerable dam
age to the goods. Because Angel
had voluntarily quit working for the
company in order to protest against
injustice the court decided that the
company was justified in its course Of
action.
Lawyers regarded the case as a
test case. They say that the rule Of
property" established by the court
will be invaluable as a weapon of en-
ployers in future federal court pro-
ceedings. 1t is expected to have a
widespread effect on the mining in
dustry.
Captain c. B. Avis who represented
the company holds that he has won a
basic decision in law that will rob the
union miners Of one of their most
effective weapons heretofore used in
curtailing the production of coal dur
ing strikes. He says: 1T also simpli-
fies the procedure of counsel for mine
owners applying for injunctions
against striking miners who threaten
to curtail production by remaining in
the houses of the company and thus
preventing the company from bring
ing in willing workers. BY the ruling
that such a striker is trespasser II
is virtual decision that the trespas-
sor is also a violater of federal in
junction which restraints him from
trespassing and he is therefore in con-
tempt of federal court as well as be-
ing without any rights in the pre-
misses in the state courts"
What II Means.
AS a result OF this West Virginia
supreme court decision, II II is al
lowed to stand, any corporation which
chooses to make the living quarters
OF its employers part OF the com
pany plant, simply deducting the rent
from their wages, can make them
both trespassers and in contempt OF
court IL they continue to live in their
homes one day after they strike in
protest against what they consider
unjust conditions Of employment. A
workers decision to strike will in
volve a decision to move out OF his
home or to face forcible election and
a sentence for violating an injunc-
ton.

KANSAS BOSSES
ATTEMPT TO SPLIT
WITH KHAN
Probe Shows Kluxers
Aid Employers
Especial to The Daily Workerl

Topeka, Kan, April 16.-The en-
ployers association Of this state is try
ing to use the Ku Klux Khan to split
the forces Of organized labor it has
been disclosed by a quiet investiga-
tion conducted by labor organizations.
The labor officials are beginning to
fear that trouble is in store for labor
on this score. Wherever the khan en-
tiers labor organizations there is
bound to be trouble, it is said, because
Of the racial and religious differences
in labor's ranks. There is a large
element Of foreign born, it is we'll
known among the miners, particular
ly, and among some of the railroad
shopmen. The entrance of the khan
in some Of the labor centers has been
marked by discussions and divisions
among laboring men there.
Employers Organize Opposition.
The Employers Association, which
organization changed its name year
Of two ago to that of Associated In
dustries, is regarded by laboring men
as the center Of opposition maintains
the biggest and strongest lobby that
exists in the Kansas legislature. 1t
has opposed every step that has been
taken in behalf of laboring men and
women. 1t bitterly opposed the mi
nimum hour law for working women
and has tried time and time again to
repeal the bill in legislative sessions.
1t has opposed and vigorously fought
the laundry and factory inspection
laws and regulations. 1t did not OPP
pose the Industrial court bill except
that feature Of the measure which
provided teeth" against the employ
ers as well as against labor. It has
tried to defeat labor laws in courts
as well as in the legislature.
Bosses and Khan.
Now, 1t is pointed out, there is a
connection between the khan and the
Employers Association. John S. Dean,
well-known Topeka lawyer, is attor-
ney for the Association. Mr.. Dean also
is head counsel for the Ku Klux Khan
in its fight to retain fits legal standing
in the state. Dean, as attorney, and
Harry Sharp, as secretary OF the EN-
ployers' Association, are the pillars"
of that organization. They have cam
paigned the state together in the in
terest Of the association. The asso-
citation maintains permanent head
quarters in Topeka and has working
force every day in the year. Labor
looks upon It as the one big factor
in the state that constantly menaces
labor interests.
Labor Broke With Khan.
In large cities OF Texas and in other
states Of the South, where the khan
is older and stronger than In Kansas,
there has come an open break bet
ween the khan and organized labor.
Those who have studied the situation
in Kansas express the belief that
trouble is certain to follow in this
state.
Those who are interested in labor's
welfare point out that IL the Employ
ers' Association should desire to dis
rupt organized labor It could find no
more effective and certain method
than OF introducing a racial and reli-
gious conflict within its ranks.
