abreast of the times Mr. Brownie, a
British fraternal delegate to the Can.
adian Trades Union Congress, was
lining up with the reactionary ele.
ments here in America and Canada
against the radicals. The British la.
Dor leaders are not deserving of any
special praise for their march to the
left. They are not leading. They
are being driven by the masses,
whose morale has been somewhat
raised by the fact that they have a
so-called labor government in office,
which gives them the feeling that the
only thing that stands between them
and complete victory is the will to
power.
THE Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, who
confessed to the murder of his
wife and also a man with whose wife
the reverend gentleman had relations
other than platonic, was an active
member Of the Ku Klux Klan. He
made the admission while making his
confession. Only a few weeks after
the Loeb-Leopold boys were COM
mitted to Joliet prison two clergymen
have broken into the spotlight with
results not to the liking of the
churches of all denominations. When
Leopold confessed to the murder of
the Franks boy, clergymen of various
creeds rushed into print, with the
theory that murder was a direct re-
suit of disbelief in God. This theory,
already shattered by the Conduct of
leading members of the religious pro-
fession, is given another wallop by
the confession of the Rev. Hight and
the escapade of the ST. Joseph, Mich
clergyman who attempted suicide in
order to escape from the conse-
quences of his relations with sundry
lady members of his parish.
THE Ku Klux Klan deserves credit
| for one thing. 1t is the most
efficient social garbage can in Am
erica. There is not a rapist, unem
ployed bootlegger, potential or pro-
fessional murderer, briber, pimp or
all round pervert in the United States
that is not attracted to it. And why
not?
THE morons who pay ten dollars to
/ a Kleagle for the privilege of
sticking their heads into pillow case
sold to them by the Klan at an ex-
horbitant price, make the Indians who
sold out their patrimony for a set of
rosary beads look like lot of canny
Calvins. The criminal element join
this organization, buy a cheap prayer
book and take as their favorite bibli-
cal heroes the most bloodthirsty spec
linens in'Hebrew mythology. With this
set OF principles" the criminals of
the Hight type are welcome into the
Klan and it is not surprising that they
give their criminal tendencies free
reign.

10000 BALES OF
AMERICAN COTTON
SENT TO RUSSIA
Soviet Syndicate Buying
Textile Products Here
(By Federated Press.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Attention Of
the textile world is being directed to
the extensive purchases of American
cotton which are being made by the
All-Russian Textile Syndicate, Inc,
the American branch of Russian
state trust. Purchasing is directed
from the New York Office of this So
Wet enterprise and ships are leaving
Southern ports regularly. Two ships
with cargoes totaling 2S,50O bales
will leave Houston early in October.
The steamship Erato, with 5000
bales, is about to embark from Gal
weston and the Degail has just left
the same port with cargo of the
same size
10000 Bales Shipped.
In all 10000 bales of American cot
ton have been shipped for Soviet Rus
sian ports since last February. This,
in addition to more than 100, 900 bales
purchased in Egypt and Europe. The
textile syndicate is now planning to
buy large quantities of dyes and
other accessory textile products.
American cotton shipments, for the
most part, go direct to Murmask, the
Russian arctic port thru a shipping
agency owned jointly by the Soviet
government and the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line and w. A. Hartman & Co.
Purchases of cotton have in some
cases been facilitated by credits from
New York banks who welcome such
steady dealings as those coming thru
Soviet Russia in these dull business
times.

 Chattanooga, Tenn, July s,-A sper eial general conference Of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, was face to face today with the great sst problem encountered within eighty years-a proposal to unite the i,oeo,' 000 Methodisls of the country into one great hody.
 The delegates were 10 determine whether the unihcation plan iormuat' ed by joint commission Of lh" northern and south Methodlsls Of inc country into one great body,
 The delegates were to determine whether the uniteation plan for.'u' lated hy joint commission of the northern and southern churches should be submitted io the regional conferences which compose the south ern breach. should two.thirds of the general conference approve suhmis- sion each regional conference at It's next annual meeting would vote on the proposal and should -fonFf'is Of the minor bodies net favorably nniheation would be m accomplished fact, once the regional conferences Of the northern branch had done like wise. The northern general confer ence already has voted to submit the plan to its subordinate divisions,
 There was every indication that tho conference would not sail smooth seas. Many delegates believe the spe- cial session to be in violation Of the church constitution and there were numerous reports that one Of the first motions to be offered would provide for adjournment. its defeat virtually would be certain, ii was said and in that event there would be an at tempt to stop the proceedings by ap- pealing to federal district court for a temporary injunction.
 Sentiment of the delegates appeared to he overwhelmingly in favor Of sub mission of the unification plan to the regional conferences, Some admitted that the plan did not appear to be perfect but expressed the belief that once the two branches of the church were united the rough spots could be ironed out with little difficulty.
