NEW MAJORITY LEADER FIGHT
 NOW LOOMING
Senate Successor to Curtis Furnishing New Polit-
 ical Pastime

WASHINGTuc,, Nov. 20-The problem of choosing q majority leader to succeed Senator Charles Curtis, -President-E Elect, is giy- ing the Republican members Of the Senate some political pastime after the serious labor of Ma ticnal campaign.
 Apparently a friendly contest, which is still free-for-all, is be- ing waged in behalf of some of the older Republican Senators with the names of Senator James l.. Watson of Indiana, Senator Wes- ley L. Jones of Washington, Sena- tor Charles L. McNary of Oregon. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire and Senator David A, Reed of Pennsylvania among those discussed.
 Seniority Waived
 Seniority has always been the guiding light in determination of the Senate posts, but this has been waived in recent years in se- lection of party. When Senator Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts died four years ago, Senator Curtis was chosen although he was out ranked in seniority by Senators Warren of Wyoming, Smcot oi Utah and Borah of Idaho.
 These three veterans have in. dicated again that they prefer chairmanships of their importan committees 10 the cares of flooi leaders, so the contest has beei thrown. wide open once more
 Watson On Inside Track Senator Watson is assistan leader and believed by some O it's workers to have the inside track. Jones, who is tho whip outranks the Indiana Senator an is however considered a likely fo, if an open contest develops
 Decision rests with the part. caucus which will probably not b. called for the purpose until Sena tor Curtis announces his retire ment or until shortly before h becomes Vice. President.

 With the flood damage done by the Kentucky and Cumberland Rivers in Kentucky, the uncon- troller waters have so far claim ed IT lives and inflicted prop erty roughly estimated at $10,- 000,000 in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma where the principal damage has been done and IA of the IT lost their lives.

KU KLUX KHAN
 CRITICISED BY
 HIGHEST COURT
Severe Arraignment Made in Decision by U. 5.
 Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The United States Supreme Court se- verely criticises the purposes and activities of the Ku Klux Klan in an opinion sustaining the New York State law requiring the Klan and other secret organiza- tions to file reports concerning the membership with the Secre- tary of State.
 The court said it is clear that the Ku Klux Klan belonged to the clan of societies which made "secrecy surrounding it's pur- pose, and membership a cloak for acts inimical to personal rights and the public and public well fare"
 Justice Van De Vanter gave the opinion, describing the Ku Klux Klan of today as revival of the Klan of an earlier time with additional features borrow ed from orders of other periods; it's membership limited to native born Gentle Protestant Whites.
 Tn one part of the Constitu- ton it proclaimed the widest freedom for all and full adher- ence to the Constitution of the United States. In another, ex- acted from the members oath, it shields and preserves white su- premacy and in still another part declared that any person oppos- ing it's principles be a dangerous ingredient in the body polite of our country and an enemy weal of our national commonwealth, The Klan is conducting crusade 4inst cathel'es, Jews apd rf groes and stimulating hurtful re ligious and race prejudiees.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Presl- aongscUnlslse WI feaye the White House March 1 in as good, if not better physical state than when he assumed office in 1923.
 From his present condition I should say that the President has before him 30 good years of active life," was the opinion given by a physician who has occasion for frequent examinations of the chief executive. He is, if possible, in better physical shape than when he took office"
 The secret of MT. Coolldges viz orous condition is seen by his medical advisors in the fact that he is the first to notice the slight est alteration in his normal sta.e and immediately asks for medical help to check what might other wise develop into more serious trouble. This practice helps to preserve what is naturally a strong constitution, sound in all it's fune- tions, capable of withstanding lengthy exertlons, both physical and mental.
 Knows His Body
 MT. Coolidge is credited with knowing his body as well as his politics" He needs no doctor warning to become aware of some incipient indisposition and he furthermore falls in the category of the perfect patient in that he is able to facilitate the physician task by revealing the likely causs of whatever indisposition ails him
 President Coolidge is intensely aware of the interdependence oi full physical and mental efficiency If his brain should at times no function with it's customary lucidi

Miners Relief Drive Backed at Big Labor Rail-
Story of Heroic Struggle Is Told to Big Grow

Continued from Page One)
Charles w. Fulp, striking Negro
Pennsylvania coal miner; Bishop
Paul Jones, of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation, and Scion De Leon
Robert w. Dunn, labor economist,
was chairman.
The meeting was held under the
Joint auspices of. the Pennsylvania
Ohio-C Colorado Miners Relief Com
mittee, the Emergency Committee for
Strikers Relief, the Colorado Miners
Relief Committee, the Workers In
ternational Relief, and the Youth
Conference for Miners Relief.
Edwin Markham, 85-year-old poet,
sitting alon in the audience, was
called to the platform to recite his
poem "The Man with the Hoe"
Pointing to the common interests
of the striking coal miners in Penn
sylvania, Colorado and Ohio, Embree,
who is now on a.relief tour, said:
"The Colorado miners are trying to
regain what the Pennsylvania and
Ohio miners are trying to hold, name
ly, the Jacksonville scale" .,. ...
Terroristic Methods.
Embree said that the same terroris-
tic methods were being used by the
bosses in all the states to beat the
workers back to the coal pits. He
told of the organization work behind
the present strike in Colorado, and
said that the basis for it was laid in
the Sacco- Vanzetti protest demonstra-
ton on August 8.
''The story of Sacco and Vanzetti
had been heard by the Miners" En-
bree said. "Sacco-Vanzetti committees
were formed. On August 8, 1000 out
of 5000 miners in the southern coal
fields were out. This was the first
time that the mines Of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Co. were tied up COM
pletely."
Embree told of the history of the
strike and said that the men are solid
in their demands. eleven thousand
miners are now out in Colorado. For
ty-seven per cent Of the strikers are
Mexicans, and they have taken the
brunt of the picketing work"
The strike leader said that relief
work was urgent if the present strug-
gle was not to end in failure. "The
need for relief" he said, SIS greater
cow than at any other time since the
strike started. Getting full relief will
enable the strikers to hold out until
Cheir demands are won"
Penn. Miner Speal.s.
~Prollo Wuletich, miner from Penn
sylvania, told of the courageous strug-
gle being waged by the workers from
that state against the brutality of the
coal and iron police.
"They have tried everything in
Pennsylvania" he said "Injunctions,
evictions, police brutality have been
added to hunger and cold"
Dunno declared that the attack on
the coal miners is the prelude to an
attack on the whole labor movement.
"It must be so regarded and sup
ported in that light" Dunno said.

little to reach his face"
"The children are the most militant
fighters of ALL" said Charles w. Fulp,
Negro striker from Mcdonald, Pa.
"They carry on our fight in the
school rooms and roadsides as well
as on the picket lines"
George Edward Powers, organizer
Of the Iron Workers Union and mem
Der of the Miners RELIEF Committee,
opened the conference. Anna Wash
ington Grafton was chairman.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-03

"In the coal mining industry the
fight is carried on directly by the gov
eminent against the union, its mem
bers, their wives and families. By
use of the injunction and the armed
forces necessary to enforce them, the
miners union is being strangled."
Dunno said that never before in the
history of the American labor move
ment had quarter of a million men,
women and children been so sys-
tematically starved and evicted as in
Pennsylvania and Ohio today.
Unions Threatened.
"The attack on the miners" said
Dunno, sis an indication of the SER
iousness of the crisis in the labor
movement. The only alternative to a
militant fight is surrender. The Of
fetal labor leadership has surren-
dered, On the rank and file of the
labor movement and their left wing
leadership falls the burden of saving
the unions from destruction.
Relief for the striking miners is
a blow at the coal capitalists and
their government. 1t is a part of the
general struggle Of the working class
and must be carried thru with I'M
sparing energy and be strengthened
by the organization of millions of
workers behind the miners"
Funds Are Needed.
A large number of workers attend
ed last night in response to resolu-
lions passed by various labor and fra
ternal organizations of the city.
The chairman, Robert w. Dunn, APP
pealed for relief funds. The response
was generous.
"Milka Sablich," Dunn said, SIS the
symbol Of the present struggle. Jailed,
intimidated by company thugs, tram
pied by the horses of the national
guard, she has nevertheless continued
in her determination to fight for
unionism.
Tag Days Planned.
"The miners battle is part of the
general fight Of the entire labor move
ment. This is one of the major fac
tors which will determine whether the
American workers shall have strong,
bona fide labor organizations or COM
pany, unions, fake 'brotherhoods' with
their yellow dog contracts and the
system of espionage which goes with
it.
Financial support will be given the
striking miners by the United Council
OF Workingclass Housewives who have
announced plans for tag days" next
Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 7 and s.
