been slain by these terrorists. But
the capitalist press which supports
the fascist governments in every
country in Europe gloat over these
murders as they have CLOSED over
the murder of the Polish workers who
were on their way to Soviet Russia

the fascist assassins do not arouse
any horror in the breasts of the

THERE is certain similarity be-
tween the way the capitalist press
treated the recent terroristic out
break in Bulgaria and the way they
treated the Wall Street explosion a
few years back. The first editions to
get on the street after the Wall Street
blast attributed the disaster to an &C.

in a Dupont powder wagon. But as
this would involve the expenditure of

KLUXER, Sought
FOR KILLING OF
GIRL, MISSING
Dead Victims Mother
Critically I'LL

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 10. -
David c. Stephenson, former grand
dragon Of the ku klux khan, and we'll
known employer and politician, who
has been indicted for first degree muir
der, charged with being responsible
for the death Of Miss Madae ober-
holtzer, is thought to be comforting
with his attorneys.
Stephenson. together with Earl
Klenck and Earl Gentry, have been
missing since first degree murder in
dictments were returned against all
three by the Marion county grand
jury. Gentry and Klenck are charged
with being accomplices in the alleged
attack on Miss Oberholtzer which re-
suited in her death after she had
taken poison and had been refused
medical aid by her captors.
Former Wife Sues.
DR.. John Kingsbury, one Of the
klansmen's accusers, was the first
physician to attend Miss Oberholtzer.
He said the girl suffered intensely be-
fore her death from three large
wounds on her body, alleged to have
been received during the attack men
toned in the indictment.
Miss Oberholtzer's mother is critic
ally i'll as the result of the shock Of
her daughters tragic death.
Stephenson's former wife, Mrs. Net
tie Stephenson Brehm, of Poteau,
Okla, has brought suit against the
klansman for S16,795, charging that he
has failed to support their eight-year-
old daughter, Florence Stephenson.
Indicted on Four Counts.
Briefly, the indictments charged:
81. On March Is, the defendants
stephenson, Klenck and Gentry
placed Madge Oberholtzer in sleep
ing car bound for Hammond, Ind, and
assaulted her. In Hammond, they
forced her to occupy room in hotel
with Stephenson. Because Of the pain
and shame she suffered, Miss ober-
holtzer swallowed poison.
"The defendants refused to obtain
medical aid for her. On March II, they
returned her to Indianapolis in a
motor car and held her forcibly until
about noon on March IS.
%. The defendants caused to be
administered to Miss Oberholtzer
bichloride of mercury tablets which
she took thru fear, duress and compul-
sion.
80. On March 16 the defendants
made an assault upon the body and
person of Madge Oberholtzer from
which she died.
"A. Altho knowing that she had
taken poison, the defendants refused
to give the grill medical attention"
Immediately after the grand jury
sent down the indictment, the arrest Of
Stephenson, Klenck and Gentry was
ordered. Because Of the seriousness
of the charges, they cannot be admit
ted to bail.

FOR
!. COLLABORATION
is BUREAU PLAN
A. F. of L. Fakerdon
Rules Conference
Especial to The DaiIy wOrker.)


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 1s.--
That the so-called workers educa-
tionar movement is becoming a sys-
tematized effort of corrupting the
minds of the workers with the poison
of class collaboration is seen clearly
in view Of the actions taken by the
fourth conference of the Workers
education bureau" which opened here
Friday at the newest and finest hotel.
A School For Glass Collaboration.
All the speeches of politicians,
professors and A. F. of L. labor takers
are in harmony with the surround
ings Of the conference. Glass COLA
boration in one form or another is
the keynote of every speech. This
illustrates the truth Of the statement
made by Earl R. Browder of the
Workers (Communist) Party, in his
pamphlet exposure on "class COLA
boration" which says:
"In the so-called workers educa'
ton movement, is the combination ol
a keen, middle class intellectualism
with the old-time bureaucracy of the
trade unions the official CEN
ter of the movement is the Workers
Education Bureau"
Real Workers School Barred Out.
The delegation from the proletarian
workers School" of New York, con.
sisting of Oliver Carlson, Juliet
Poyntz and William Weinstone, we're
not seated by the conference and the
schools application for afiliation to
the Workers Education Bureau was
rejected.
All signs point toward the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor taking over
complete control Of the Workers Edu.
cational Bureau and the ousting of
even such mild progressives as Maur-
er, Cohen and Brophy from leader
ship. The leading takers of the A.
F. of L. reactionary bureaucracy are
on the job, including Matthew Woll,
Perkins and Frey. These takers are
at the head of the most important
committees.
Left Wing Timid and Weak.
The left wing among the confer
ence delegates tried to put up fight,
but it is not unified and is weak by
nature.
William Green, president of the
A. F. Of L. spoke at the conference
Saturday, saying in part:
There is every indication that
the organizations Of labor are enter
ing upon a new era, one in which edu-
cation is going to play greater part"
The part that it is to play, however,
is covertly stated by the bureaus
technical director, Spencer Miller,
who said, "The power of labor con-
sists in its power to serve, and not
to dominate" In other words, the
historic mission" of the working
class is to work And for master
as a servant.
Professor Shotwell, author of the
infamous Geneva protocol, is also one
of the speakers.
