TRAIL OF "REDS'' IN AMERICA
Seek Stir Up International and Racial Animosities
in Effort to ''Dividc and Rule Worked
Among Negroes.

week by week. the negro Communists
OF the city are organizing for the
great day--in which they firmly be-
lieve--which shall bring the over
throw of the present Government and
give them everything they have bee n
led by their Communist friends to
expect. Arms are being smuggled in
by mall, by express and by messen-
ger. and stored away In various
meeting places Of the underground
Communist organization to be held
in readiness for that day.
stu Fostering Hatred.
Here is a sample of the propaganda
which the Communists are spreading
through the negro population:
THE only language the blood
thirsty capitalists can understand is
the language of organized power
Only by reprisals, by answering
force with force, will the business
mob be restrained from continuing
their cowardly assaults upon the
negro and working class population
of this country.
There are more than 10000, 900
negroes in this country, almost all
of them Of the working class. These
negro wage earners are rapidly being
reduced to serfdom and peonage-to
a condition worse than slavery.
Shall we stand idly by and permit
the capitalists to murder and crush
100000 OF our fellows? Break
down the barriers Of the unions.
Wipe out the color line. There is
only one line to be drawn, and that
is the class line The Constitution OF
the United States is supposed to guar
antee their freedom. Since then they
have been herded into separate dis
trfcts-segresated into Jim Crow cars
and their women subjected to as
saults Of the white man. their chill
dren deprived Of education.
1T is in the interest of both the
negro and white workers to destroy
this capitalistic Government, root and
branch. Shoulder to shoulder, heart
to heart. the workers of all races
must unite to establish in this coun-
try a workers governments Soviet
republic OF America
''The Communist party calls upon
our colored comrades to organize and
with their arms in their hands to
resist the murderous assaults upon
their homes We call upon workers
Of all races to unite against their
common enemy-the capitalistic class
workers OF America, organize!
Wipe out the color line, Hail to the
proletarian revolution. Down with
the capitalist system and the capi-
talist state. Long live the workers

CARTS ANALYSIS ].
 AWAITED HERE
To Contain Forecast Of Nations Industrial
 Condition

A complete analysis of the Pittsburg plus decision, with detailed forecast of industrial conditions, is expected to be made in New York on October "A, by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the directors of the United States Steel corporation. The encouragement will be the outstanding feature of the autumn meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute, of which Judge Gary is president.
 In anticipation of the most interest ing statement ever made before that body, many members of the institute are planning to be in New York for the meeting.
 There has been no explanation given by Judge Gary as to what motives ac- tuated the steel corporation in surrend- ering to the order for abolition oi Pittsburg plus. He had previously af' firmed that the Steel corporation wanted a final decision. The decision has upset trade conditions in every market of this country and is proving q complex problem to re-arrange. 1t is thought that Judge Gary will outline to the members of the instituee the why's and wherefores of the decision to obey the order and will undertake to outline what may be the eventual effect upon the various companies.

KLANSMEN BOOST FOR COPS RAISES
Enter Heartily Into Cam paign To Secure Pro-
 posed Increase

The Ku Klux KIan has actively entered the campaign for more money for Birmingham's policemen and fire men.
 Nathan Bedford Forrest Klan No. 60, at its regular konklave, adopted resolutions indorsing the $l5 raise asked for by the men of both depart ments. Kligrapp J. A. Poore sent copies to the city commissioners and the news- papers Saturday.
 Without mentioning the firemens' fight for better salaries, Robert E. Lee Klan No. 1 called on the com mission by resolution to use its best efforts to grant the police wage increase. A copy of this resolution was sent to The Age-Herald by J. G. Murphy, assistant kligrapp.
 The Forrest klan's resolution merely set forth that it favored the police and fire salary boosts. The Lee klan's resolution reads as follows:
 "Whereas One of the cardinal prin- ciples of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is it's belief in law and order, and,
 "Whereas: We are of the opinion that law and order can only be main- CulICu HI ny tbC tenance of a sufficient police force, properly paid, and
 "Whereas We feel that the present police force of the city of Birming- ham is inadequate for the proper en. forcement of the laws in this city and that the present rate of pay of policemen is insufficient to properly compensate the kind of police officers needed to properly enforce the law, now therefore
 Be it resolved: By General Robert E. Lee Klan No. 1, Realm of Alabama of the Invisible Empire, Knights oi the Ku Klux Klan that we unanimous ly indorse the application of the police force of the city of Birmingham fol an increase in pay and call upon the city commission of Birmingham to use their very best efforts toward increas' ing the pay of the present policemen and increasing the number of police men to the end that the laws and rights both as to persons and property of the citizens of this community may be protected"

ITCHING ECZEMA DRIED RIGHT UP
 BY THISS SULPHUR

Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying little MenthO- Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of it's germ destroying proper ties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth.
 It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement. Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like a cold cream.
