KHAN FACTIONS
SPLIT INDIANA
c. 0. P. MEET
Convention Scraps On
National Delegates


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May 21.-Re-
publicans of Indiana opened their
state convention today with every
prospect Of a strenuous right between
delegates representing the discordant
elements of the Ku Klux Khan. Every
effort is being made to restore har-
mony. State Chairman Walb acted
the role of peacemaker.
The first tilt between the rival
groups came in caucusing over the
election of MISUNDERSTANDING to the
national convention. A report leaked
out of a caucus Of old guard leaders
that only friends of Senator Watson,
who would back him for the nominal
ton for vice-president, would find a
berth on the delegation to Cleveland.
imperial Wizard Whizzes In.
The arrangement met the approval
Of the Khan element headed by H. w.
Evans, imperial wizard. who jour
neyed here from Atlanta to be on
hand for the state convention, and
Walter Bossert, imperial representa-
tive.
In the camp of the Stephenson fac
ton of the Khan, however, bitter re-
sentiment was aroused by the move to
bring the Watson and Bossert ele-
ments into an alliance
The principal battle ground between
the Klansmen will be on delegates-at-
large to the national convention and
on selection of nominees for few
of the state offices.

EFFICIENT LEFT
WINCER TAKEN
OFF STRIKE POST
Nathan Bosin Removed
By Perlstein

The International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union officials in Chicago
may or may not change their attitude
toward the expelled members who Co
operated with them to carry on the
strike of garment workers. Meyer
Perlstein, who is in charge Of the
strike and who is the recognized
spokesman for the union officials, said
yesterday to the DAILY WORKER
that he was not prepared to make a
statement about it,
But, Monday when Perlstein got
back to Chicago, he wired Nathan
Bosin, one of the expelled members
who has been organizing the workers
in the Isenberg garment shops in
Waukegan, to return to Chicago at
once. Bosin returned and Perlstein
told him he wanted him to return to
work in a garment shop here in Chi
cago. In place of Bosin, Perlstein
sent Sam Letterman to Waukegan to
take charge of the organization Bosin
had built up.
Bosin's Fine Work.
In Waukegan Bosin managed to get
the workers of the Isenberg shop to
go on strike and stop making gar
ments sent from struck shops in Chi
cago. He organized and lead the
picketing. When the bosses went into
court and asked for an injunction
Bosin managed to have the issuance
Of the injunction refused. Again the
bosses asked for an Injunction and
again they were defeated. The same
thing happened when they asked for
an injunction the third time. Now
Bosin has been recalled from his
work and safe" right winger put in
his place.
The expelled members of the union
were asked by the strike committee
to come back and help the union just
the day before the strike was called.
AS result of the activities Of the
expelled members in behalf of the
strike most Of the delegates from the
Chicago locals were instructed to
vote for reinstatement.
What attitude will be taken by the
union officials to the expelled mem
bers and their cooperation in the
strike will probably not become
known till those who went to the Bos-
ton convention return to the city and
try to take up their strike work.

These four states met in 1897 at Plym-

A state society was chartered in
Illinois in June, 1897. The societies

were chartered In Minnesota, Maine
and Colorado. There followed a period
of steady growth until 1908, when
California formed its society. The
state of Washington's branch was
chartered in 1912, and later charters
were granted to societies In Kansas,
Indiana and Nebraska. The Mime
sofa society is now inactive.

Changes in Grid Rules!
Ten Reforms Are Suggested for Bettering
Gridiron Game Next Year

IIERE 10 suggestions for football changes the
coaches will consider at their meeting in New York
December 20.
/. Eliminate the rule which awards first down 10 the
team on offense when the defending eleven is offsde
2 Changing the kickoff from the middle Of the field
10 the 1Oyard line. This will cut down the number Of
kicks that go the line resulting in the ball being put
IN play from the 2Oyard line II will also make for more
ruhs from kickoff.
3. Changing the scoring Of three points for a goal
from field TO two. This would make touchdown equal
70 three goals from field II the goal after touchdown
was made II would require four field goals for team
that made touchdown and kicked goal 10 be beaten.
D. Framing the rules in such way that player who
blocks kick shall receive credit One is that II the
blocked kick does not the line Of scrmmage and
recovered by the hckers side shall the loss
Of a down. II II happens the fourth down. loss Of
the ball.
8. ANY attempt TO drop or place kick that fails shall
be penaZed in some TO be agreed by coaches
possibly loss OF down unless the attempt is made from
point inside the 2O-yard line, when it should count
touchback
6. The loss Of certain set amount of ground every
time team tries forward pass and fails TO complete IT,
z. Limiting the number Of passes that can be used
during the four periods 10 say Is attempts
8. Shifting back TO the old method of the tryforpoin
after goal That is, making the try from point straight
out where the runner crossed the line if this angle is
too great permit the usual punt out.
8. Making II illegal for player TO return TO the game
after he has left it. Such rule exists in baseball
the moment player is withdrawn from the game he is
thru for the day.
TO- Making the huddle system Of giving signals illegal
While this method Is favored by many coaches il is
cdedly unpopular with the football enthusiasts who like
TO hear the barking of the signals.
