DRYS REFUSE TO

NEGRO BISHOP
Defend 18th, Forget the
18th Amendment

WASHLNGTON.-A Juror Of excite
ment attended the closing banquet
here OF the Citizens Committee OF
One Thousand, organized to compel
enforcement OF the eighteenth amend
ment.
The excitement was caused by the
committees refusing to seat Bishop
Clement, a Negro churchman of Louis
vile, KY. and 1t afforded capitol west
much fun today as they polntedly
asked their dry brethren whether the
eighteenth amendment was more
sacred than the fourteenth"
Clement is chairman Of the COM
mittee on race relations of the Fed
eral Council OF Churches. Originally
he had been urged to attend the BAN
quet and two tickets had been tor
warded him with the suggestion he
bring a guest. It was indicated by
officials Of the Committee of One
Thousand that the barrier was set
against him because Of objections
from the hotel management, but hotel
officials stated they had had no adj
vance information that he was even
TO be present.
The high light OF the banquet was
a letter from President Coolidge who
declared that II the law "faals to be
enforced, government itself fails"
Senator Sheppard ((D) of Texas,
Father of the dry law" and Senator
Borah (R) of Idaho, made the key
note speeches.
Sheppard led his argument with an
attack on those who purchase liquor,
holding them TO be guittder than the
bootlegger who sells.

uuittal.
Norris attorneys will endeavor to
show that Chips came to the pastors
study with murder in his heart" af-
ter alleging Chips made previous
threats against the pastor.
Move Towards Hip.
According to statements made i'm
mediately after the killing Chips
went to Norris to protest against pull
pit attacks on Mayor H. G. Meacham,
Chips close friend. In the argument
that ensued, according to the Norris
version, Chips made move toward
his hip.

preacher" saw the move toward the
hip, and, attempting to beat Chips
to the grab" fired several shots into
Chips body.
Only One Gun.

mediately, have said they could find
no weapon on Chips body, and found
no gun in the room other than the one
used by Norris.

farmers to take up the fight agains,
American Imperialism, and stop the
sacrifice of American lives and the
wealth produced by the workers and
farmers in support OF the imperialist
adventures of the Wall Street finan.
cial houses.
The Wheeler and Huddleston reeo-

The workers and farmers OF this coun-
try can call halt on Coolidge's Wall
Street policy by a mass demand for
the adoption of these resolutions, and
thus forcing Coolidge to withdraw
from Nicaragua.
A victory in the fight against inter
Uention in Nicaragua will be the be-
ginning ola victorious struggle against
, the whole. imperdalist policy OF the

the fight against the intervention in

before a meeting OF the Lions Club.
an imitation of the Rotary. Kiwanis,
and other Babbitt organizations, Gen.
Robert Alexander of Camp Lewis
made an attack on the pacifist move
ment. With the marvellous intelli-
gence which characterizes army off,
GERS, he not only attacked the paci-
fists who would interfere with his
murderous profession, but said that
there was proof that Russia was re-
sponible for It, What proof he had, he
failed to state.
After that the Lions gave out
Christmas presents, such as a hair
net to a bald headed member, crap
dice and deck of cards to Method
list preacher, etc.
Tacoma business men are boosters
for Camp Lewis which lies in the sub
urbs. When business at the camp is
good, they make more profits. The
local merchants and landlords made
enormous profits during the wartime
boom and have been hard hit since
It collapsed, as local wages are so low
that the buying power OF Tacoma
workers is limited. Now that Camp
Lewis Is being repaired and prepare
lions are made to At It up for the
next war, they are rejoicing.

ment, Sidney Hillman, president of

of America and one of the wisest la
Dor leaders in the country saw the
mill owners in Passaic and obtained
an agreement from them in which
they expressed willingness to recog-
nize the union Mr.. Hillman never
could have made such statement.
Never Stood in Way.
"Mr. Hillman and l did confer with
a director Of the Botany Mills which
at that time would not even consider
the matter of recognizing the union.
In fairness to Albert Weisbord, it
must be said that he never stood in
the way of a settlement of the strike
based on recognition Of the union.
II have no judgment to make of Mr..
Beckerman's quarrel with the fur
workers but he must not be untruth-
full about Weisbord to indict the Com
munist Party.
Weisbord Ready.
I must state for the first time, that
within three weeks of the beginning of
the strike, group of men interested
in the Passaic situation, including the
Rev. ]. H. Mellish, DR.. Elliott, Paul
Kellogg and myself, with little effort
got Weisbord to hold himself ready to
withdraw from leadership OF the
strike whenever we could guarantee
that the strikers would receive ade-
quate support during the remainder Of
the strike, for recognition of the I'M
