The Minnesota fiery cross. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1924-19??, 1924-04-25

Americans are prepared to make
a winning fight against the dictator
ship of plutocrats, but they have nc
patience with rattle-brained gentle
men who talk silly twaddle about q
dictatorship of the proletariat.'
at is interesting to note, as Labor
informs us, that the conference for
progressive political action has called
a national convention for July in
Cleveland which, we are told, will
be thoroughly representative gath
ering and authorized to speak for
large groups of organized farmers
and industrial workers.
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic national conventions will have
been held before the Cleveland con-
vention here referred to. This SEIZED
ule opens up quite a bit of political
cogitation. 1t is well to bear in mind,
for instance, that the big railroad la
Dor organizations have been very
ginning with that gentleman's war
time railroad administration when
wages of railroad employees went up
sharply and the payrolls were great
ly enlarged in membership. Mr.. Nc
Adoo has made more Roadway toward
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion to date than any other man.
How far he will be able to carry his
cause in the New York convention is
problematical, but his following will
make a lot of noise from the outset.
Organized railroad labor will watch
with keen interest the development
of events in Madison Square Garden.
1t is also noteworthy that Senator
LaFollette has not tied himself up
in any public way with the St. Paul
convention of June II, which comes
just after the Republican convention
and just before the Democratic con-
vention. From the senator's head
quarters in Washington has gone
forth a platform with enough planks
in it to accommodate all the forces
of discomfort, including what Labor
calls the small but very active band
of communists in charge of arrange
ments for the St. Paul gathering.
The LaFollette group is shrewdly
holding itself free to formulate a
party of its own. 1t prefers for the
time being to speak vaguely of AN
independent party rather than the
more specific term Farmer-Labor par
ty used in connection with the St.
Paul convention. This group is we'll
aware of the kindly feeling which or
gained labor entertains toward Mr..
McAdoo and it is the logic of things
political that it should wish to see
what are the line-ups of the two old
parties as to candidates and plat
forms before it formulates its own
political medium for popular appeal.
"Still another thought is that there
is no common rallying cry as yet
to which labor or the opposition to
one or both of the old parties re-
spends"

Identified civilian were killed and tif-
teen others were Injured, some SD seri-

building at 1850 Blue Island avenue
collapsed.
List Of Dead.
The known dead: Capt. Jack Bren-
nan. Lieut.. Frank Frosch. Thomas
Kelley. Sam T. Warren. Michael De-
vine. Frank Leavy. Edward Kersting

The firemen killed or injured were
trapped ON the fire escape OF tho

or upon water tower which had been
playing streams on the flaming roof.
The civilians injured and the un-

Of the ne.
Crushed by Masonry.
Tons Of masonry swept down upon
the fire fighters and the watchers so
suddenly that none had opportunity to
reach safety.
Police and firemen dug frantically
In the smoldering ruins all thro ugh
the night. removing the dead and
searching for others possibly still
buried there. II is thought. however,
that all of the victims have been
taken out.
From the standpoint Of casualties In
the fire department II was the worst
disaster which has visited Chicago
since the stockyards fire In December,
1910. In which Fire Chief Jim" Koran
and twenty of his men lost their lives.

In MemOriam

WAHKON, MIMI April 16.-Will-
lam Robertson of this place was bur.
led here today with the Reverend Mr..
Fink officiating, using the Ku KIux
Khan burial rites. During the funer-
al services, the Presbyterian church
OF this village was packed to the
doors, and many were unable to get
beyond the door of entrance. Friends
and relatives of klansman Robertson
came from near and far to pay trib-
ute to his memory. This Is the first
time I'm the history Of Minnesota that
a klansman was buried by the Inyis-
ible Empire.
The Rev. Mr.. Fink preached a SER
mon which penetrated to the hearts
OF all the people who were gathered
In the church. Many men who have
been walking the trails that lead to
darkness, were awakened by the mes
sage OF the Klansman.m and
have openly expressed themselves as
ready to fOrsake the service of Satan
and turn to the living Christ and beg
OF Him complete forgiveness OF
their sins and an opportunity to serve
wOrthily. Perhaps there has never
been as impressive funeral service
In or near Wahk0n as conducted by
the Khan here today.
Mr.. Robinson was born I'm Bath
county, Kentucky, on October l2,
1928. He came to Minnesota I2 years
ago. He has lived I'm retirement for
a number Of years. Although well
along In years, klansman Robertson
was abreast Of the times and ever
took keen Interest I'm the affairs of
the nation. Those who knew the de.
ceased intimately, say that for his
years he possessed q mind Of unusual
vIrillty. He was q member of the
Methodist church and In known to
have always recognized the necessity
OF living In accordance with the prin.
cIples Of the Man Of Nazareth. He
