NEGRO WOMEN
APPLAUD KLAM
DENUNCIATION
Natl. Assoc. of Colored
Women Indict G.. 0. P.

With ringing denunciation of the
Ku Klux Khan, and of the Republican
party for its failure to take action
against the Khan, Robert w. Bagnall,
field organizer of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People, brought to it's feet the crowd
of three thousand colored women who
packed the auditorium of the Wendell
Phillips high school, where the Nation
al Association of Colored Women is
this week holding it's fourth biennial
convention.
Our debt to the party of Abraham
Lincoln is more than paid" cried Mr.
Bagnall. Where the Republican party
rs the Ku Klux Khan, as it is in Indi-
ana, it is the duty of the Negro to look
out for his interests by aligning him
self with some new party" And the six
hundred delegates from all parts of the
country, and the South Side women
who had come to hear them, shouted
applause.
For Mixed School.
Bagnall's statement came like bolt
out of the blue after two days in which
the convention dragged on with talk OF
religious welfare and missionary work
of movies, womens clubs, and Y. W.
c. A. homes. With one exception
problems peculiar to the Negro had
remained untouched.
That exception was the advocacy by
Miss Roberta Dunbar, Rhode Island
school teacher, of mixed schools, in
which Negro and white children have
the same classrooms and the same
teachers. Miss Dunbar's suggestion
aroused lively discussion. Southern
delegates of the professional middle
class Negro group argued in favor OF
segregation on the ground that trained
Negro teachers might be denied EN-
ployment IL mixed schools became the
rule.
! This is the same argument that
wrecked the resolution denouncine

and women of the Negro race tried tc
put thru the Negro Sanhedrin con
ference in February.

Especial to the Daily Worker)
GARY, Ind, August 8.-At
least three men, and probably
from nine to fourteen, were
killed in the explosion which
wrecked No. 5 blast furnace of
the Illinois Steel corporation
here early this week, workmen
in the United States Steel cor
poration plant charge. The
company, controlled by the
Ebert ]. n. Gary interests, re-
fuses to divuIge any informa-
ton and continues to deny that
more than one man-WaIter
Nystrom-Was. killed.
''It takes from nine to four
teen men to run a blast fur
lnace," one experienced steel
worker told the DAILY WORK
Err. "The furnace was running
full capacity when the explo-
sion completely demolished it.
There were undoubtedly several
more killed besides the general
foreman, the only man re-
ported found by the company.
Mayor R. o. Johnson told the
DAILY WORKER he agreed with the
policy of the Gary Steel Works in sup
pressing the news of accidents. He
said he would not investigate even if
it were established that the company
is hiding the death of several Of the
employees.
A police captain in Gary confided to
a friend that he knows of two colored
men who were killed by the terrific
blast which completely demolished
the million dollar blast furnace. The
attitude of the city officials is: 1--WE
have to take the company's word.
1.-THE Post Tribune policy is all
right" Mayor Johnson told the
DAILY WORKER when told that
many workmen charge that Gary's
only local paper is under the thumb
of the steel trust. Whats the use of
advertising these deaths. You know
and l know that when the men go to
work in the morning in the steel mills
they are taking a chance on getting
killed. Any day somebody is liable
to get killed. What's the good of the
company advertising when anybody
gets killed"

Back-tO-AfricG B o d y
Fears to Fight Here
BY ROBERT MINOR
staff Writer, Daily Worker)

NEW YORK, August 6.-The
Universal Negro Improvement
Association In its fourth annual
convention publicly went on re-
cord as acknowledging that It
fears to fight the Ku KIux KIan.
The excuse given is that the
Negro is going to Africa; hence
he need not fight for his rights
in America.
There is now hardly any
room for doubt that Marcus
Carney, president of the Negro
organization, two and a half
years ago in an interview with
a sub-head of the Ku Klux Khan
at Atlanta, Ca, entered into an
agreement with the Khan.
This was brought out with start
ling circumstantial evidence during
the debate, when Bishop George Alex
ander MCGUIRE of the African Ortho-
dox Church. tried to lead Garvey into
committing himself more openly.
Khan On Floor.
President-General Garvey, as chair
man Of the convention, had intro
duced the subject OF the Khan with
peculiarly guarded language, repeat.
ing that according to the agenda the
subject must be discussed without
prejudice" and warning that I'VE
must be very, very careful, very,
very guarded and very watchful how
we discuss It," in order not to get
ourselves into trouble" He read two
documents of the Khan itself, showing
the Negro as being similar to "ba-
boons and monkeys" regretting that
he was not still in slavery, the place
where he belonged" and rejecting
the regime of stark terror and degra-
dation for the Negro which is the
program of the Khan murder organic
alton. AS Garvey read, it was diff
cult to determine whether he meant
to terrorize the audience, or whether
he wanted to show thee terror of the
Khan in order to appeal to the con-
vention for a manly stand against
its crimes.
But when the leader finished read.

ton he meant to take

Garvey directly, he said, you are

as in others. You have given us the

the Negro political union we have fol.

France of a part of Germany
is exchanged for the economic
control of all Germany by the
allied nations cooperating thru
the Dawes plan.
German representatives at London
have surrendered to all the demands
of the international bankers. Their
present debate is over the French de-
mand for continued military occupa-
ton of the Ruhr for two years and
complete military control over Ger
manys ornaments and the demilitar-

The Germans are urging that the
security police are useful against the

French reply that allied troops will
give the necessary assistance in such
