NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7.-Ku Klux
Khan anti-Negro elements in the south
emboldened by the republican partys
growing Indifference to the Negroes
as political weapon in the south, are
closing in on Walter Cohen, Negro
controller of customs of New Orleans
having formally filed suit in the fed
eral district court claiming Cohen is
not citizen.
Mr.. Cohen has turned the matter
over to United States attorney Burns,
who declares he will file answer to the
suit within ten days. Cohen declares
he does not take the suit seriously
The hard-boiled "lily-white" followers
of the Morgan lawyer, John Davis
democratic candidate for president
who so loudly applauded Davis when
he spoke for allowing the constitu

attempting to nullify the fourteenth
amendment, claiming that native OF
Africa cannot be a citizen of the
United States.
Davis declared that any attempt to
change the constitution was danger

institutions of our country. He de-
clared the constitution very satisfac-
tory to him as it stands, but his lilly

Donald paid the assessment.
For years Frank Harrington and
John L. Lewis have been trying to ex-
pei Mcdonald, who has been fighting
both their corrupt machines, pointing
out to the miners that no progress
could be made so long as Lewis and
Harrington controlled the administra-
ton. Mcdonald incurred the undying
enmity of Harrington, when Mcdonald
refused to line up with harrington in
his fake fight against Lewis, telling
the miners that Harrington and Lewis
were of the same caliber and that
when it came to a pinch they would
make up their differences, join forces
and fight the progressives.

The expulsion of Mcdonald shows
how desperately Lewis and harrington

that Lewis, Green, Murray, Walker,

what a wonderful leader Harrington
was, the convention stripped Earring

expulsion of Alex Howat and his col

MAC DONALD IS
WATERING AS
FIGHT NEARS
Indications Are That He
Won't Resign Today
tspeoIaI to The paIIy workerl

N~T~~'~f ~ HC NdNI s'SiHStl
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Mac
Donald labor government is be-
ginning to show signs of waver-
ing in meeting the challenge of
the liberals and tories in parIia-
Enent.
1t is said that there is an in
creasing likelihood that Mac
Donald will not resign and pre-
cipitate a general election de-
spite the fact that he is bound
to meet defeat on the motions
of censure that will be made
against his government by the
combined employers parties.
Amongst the business interests
there is growing opposition to pre-
cipitating an election contest at this
time, because of the bad effect it
might have on industry This view
is strengthened on account of the
doubt in many minds as to the results
that the Dawes plan will bring.
Election Before Christmas.
A general election before Christmas
is now regarded as certainty. 1t is
believed that the laborite cabinet will
resign after the tory motion of cen
sure is brought up in Commons to-
morrow. Macdonald probably will ask
the king to dissolve Commons and
summon national election
When the premier appeared on the
floor of the labor party conference, he
outlined the successes" of the labor
lite government, adding:
He Sure Didn't.
1--WE did not hope to create a new
world out of our imagination. But we
do believe that the old world is be-
ginning to show new response to a
newly created spirit. l think we have
succeeded in that"
Macdonald declared that British un-
employment had been lessened and
that the budget is now more favorable
to the workingman. The next budget
he said would be even more favorable
He Likes Dawes Plan.
He praised the Dawes reparations
plan, saying it gave the necessary ma.
chinery to bring us back to wisdom"
The premier was without illusion
and warned that there are still troubl.
ed waters ahead.
Then He Attacks Communism.
After attacking Communism, he
turned to the liberals, declaring that
former premier H. H. Asquith's speech
indicated that "the liberals expected
the laborites to eat out of their hand"
The liberals inquiry motion, the
premier charged, was conceived in
spirit of medieval crookedness and
torture" He continued:
But we shall surrender nothing.
If there is an election responsibility
for it will not be upon us. 1t will
have been caused by abuse of parlia-
mentary votes. Every labor support
er will resent this chicanery.
Expects Greater Victories.
ut will make our victories at the
polls more numerous. When it is
time for the government to dissolve
the thousands gathered here will re-
turn to their posts, no to defend, but
to attack our enemies"
The conference unanimously adopt
ed g resolution endorsing the prem.
ier's decision to oppose the tory mo-
tion of censure and the liberal motion
for an inquiry into the withdrawal of
prosecution against the Communist
