Reign of Terror on
Long Island Charged
to Ku Klux Klansmer

NEW YORK, July Charging
that the Ku Klux Khan has started a
reign of terror in Suffolk County on
Long Island, Phillip Brennan, attorney
for Patrick Ryan, appealed to the
Brooklyn supreme court for a change
of venue from Suffolk county for his
client who is charged with the MUIR
der of a klansman.
The appeal for the change of venue
is backed with 1853 affidavits. Brennan
in his petition for the change said :
1--WE will show that the Klansmen are
a crew of hijackers, dishonest and
murderous. They have declared they
will convict this man innocent or
guilty" The corraborating afidavits
set forth that a majority of the res
idents of Suffolk county are Klans-
men; that Klansmen make midnight
calls on citizens for the purpose of
intimidating Thorn; that it forces men
to join by threatening to boycott
them.

NEW YORK, July News trick

The 1919 shooting down of 1900 un-

the United States and England until
nine months after the military order
for the massacre had been given.
The new tragedy is Of less proper

silence.
Defense of the natives, however,
came from an unexpected source. An

IN the history OF the industry. 1t
brings the total cash receipts of
the owners since the so-called
dissolution of the trust in 1911
to over $1,500,000,000
But continuation of the pretense
that the government can restore a
competitive order which is out of date
will go on, as evidenced by the po-
litical gesture of Attorney General
Stone, made apparently on behalf of
the Coolidge candidacy Such polit-
ical antitrust suits serve to blind the
people to the development of a new
economic order in which the co-or-
dinated key industries serve as the
basis Of hereditary dictatUrship
Legal subterfuges.
Stones suit reveals one Of the legal
subterfuges by which the govern
ments' old dissolution order was east
ly evaded. The numerous companies
which compose the combine simply
pooled certain essential patent rights
and then granted each company the
right to their use under agreement
These agreements contained clauses
which limited output and the territory
served in such a way as to prevent
competition. Thus while the people
slumbered under the impression that
the trust had been dissolved, prices
and profits were kept UP as effective
ly as If the combination had been
single corporation. The attorney gem
eral describes the conspiracy in part
as follows:
"Seventy-nine license agreements
are set up as constituting and evil
dencing the combination, conspiracy
and monopoly. These agreements
contain numerous provisions affecting
adversely the production, transporta-
ton and sale of gasoline, kerosene,
naphtha and other products. The eff

MATTEOTTI WROTE OF
FASCIST CRAFT WITH
SINCLAIR OIL HEADS

LONDON, England, July IA
posthumousIy printed article in
English Life" and written by Gia-
como Matteotti, the Socialist De-
putty slain by Fascist in Rally,
proves that the deputy's conten-
tons Of terrific grating among
fascist high officials were founded
in fact and that his enemies slew
him in a desperate and vain effort
to save their own positions.
Matteotti writes in part:
1.-THE conduct Of the Banca Com
merciaIe in regard to the Polish
loan is an instance of the unbrldIed
avarlce permitted by the Fascist
rulers. Much worse are the actions
of the ministry of national economy
in its dealings with the Sinclair oil
Company.
Senator Corbino, minister of ma
tionaI economy, handed over vast
spaces of land in Emilia and Sicily
containing over 400 square miles
of rich oil deposits to the Sinclair
OIL Company, which is connected
with the oetopus-IIke Standard Oil
trust, without safeguards. There are
many grave Irregularities concern
Ing this concession. High officials
can be charged with reasonable
corruption or the most dlsgracefuI
iobhery."
Matteotti would have brought up
his charges in parliament If he had
not been brutaIIy murdered on the
eve Of It's opening.

The Khan issue may in the future
develop into a splitting issue for the

issue yet. Today, the sharpness OF
the differences is aggravated primar
lily by immediate politico-organiza
tional reasons. McAdoo could as
much face the Southern states with a
Smith plank on the Khan as Smith
could face New York with a McAdoo
Khan position.

could strike up some compromise, but
