Khan King from Cell
May Blast Robinson's
Race for U, 5. Senate

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. - Demo
cratic accounts of the inside story
of the khan scandal in Indiana, as
transmitted to campaign directors in
Washington, are to the effect that d.
G. Stevenson, former grand dragon, is
going to reveal the whole picture of
his super-government of the state
when he ruled 100000 klansmen in
their raid on political power in 1924.
In his cell in the state penitentiary
where he is serving a life sentence for
the murder of Madge Oberholtzer, a
schoolteacher, Stevenson has become
embittered toward Governor Ed Jack
son for not pardOning him. Jackson
was one of his many pawns who did
not repudiate Stevenson when the re-
voting details of his treatment of
Miss Oberholtzer were proven in
court.
The democrats say that because
Jackson failed to come thru" with a
pardon for his boss, Stevenson has de-
cided to bring retributi6n on Jackson
and all of his associates by confess
sion.
In the Jackson machine one Of the
conspicuous figures was and is Sena-
tor Robinson. Jackson appointed him
as senator when Senator Ralston died.
He is now seeking reelection. The
democrats believe that Jackson can
not prevent Stevenson from telling his
story before election day, to, the de-
struction of Robinson's chances of
coming back to Washington.

IRONWOOD mine
WAS KNOWN TO
BE DANGEROUS
Company Power Pre-
vents Investigation

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct. 1S.-A sworn
statement signed by committee OF
seven of the miners who were en-
tombed in the Pabst mine at Iron
wood, Mich, for more than five days,
was filed with a notary public here
charging that the G shaft of the mine
was known to have been in danger
GUS condition when the workers were
sent into it.
Pressure Against Probe.
The miners declared in the state
ment that they feel an effort has been
made to prevent an investigation into
the cave-in, the company realizing its
criminal liability in the disaster
The statement, which was sworn to
in the Offices Of the Daily Press here.
which has urged an investigation, fol
lows:
"To Whom 1t May Concern:
1--WE, the undersigned who were en-
tombed in the recent cavern of the G
shaft Pabst mine of the Oliver Iron
Mining Co., and representing the
rest of the miners who were entombed
ask the opportunity to testify to the
fact that the G shaft was in danger
GUS condition previous to the cave-in
and was generally known by the men
working in it not to be safe.
1--WE feel that an effort has been
made to smother any investigation of
this accident, and we commend the
Ashland Daily Press for it's efforts to
bring about federal or other in
quiry into the disaster.
1--WE are miners, bumpers, shaft re-
pairmen, who have been employed
in the G shaft for periods ranging
from a few months up to fifteen
years"
Fear Violence.
Names of the signers are being with
held to prevent possible violence
against them by company agents, It is
announced. They represent, however,
practically all of the entombed min
ers.
Senator Couzens of Michigan has
been asked to use his influence toward
an investigation, also by A. ]. Noll
U. S. meat inspector, who had a rela-
tive entombed in the mine.
Noll wrote: at appears to be the
shame of Michigan that all interests
here, business, professional, civic and
social, have not the initiative to de-
mand proper investigation of the
cavern. VIII Michigan be salts
fed to let this go down in history an
unsolved mystery because there appar.
emily exists within her powers SO
great that justice becomes a mockery
and truth lost virtue? Nothing more
than an honest investigation is the
plea, that the facts may be revealed
and the blame, if any, be established
in the hope that thereby justice will
be done to those who suffered and
those who must continue to earn their
livelihood thru this hazardous occu,
patton"

We just received from the Jewish language frac-

This is loyalty to The DAILY WORKER of the finest
kind. The Washington comrades have shown that they
appreciate the services rendered by The DAILY WORKER
to working class
Apparently the cIoseness of the Washington Jewish
