LABOR BILL HAS
HARD SAILING

TRENTON, N. j., OPP April g.
Trickery and sharp practises marked
the checkered career of the bill in
creasing the maximum worEmen's
compensation from SIT to $50 as it
went through the Legislative mill OF
New Jersey. .
The senate originally passed the
measure, backed strenuously by trade
union representative as labor's most
important bill. The house proceeded
to white the maximum from $40 to
$40 in the last hours Of the legisla-
ture. When senate leaders heard that
the bill had passed the house, they
adjourned sine die to block final ac-
ceptance of a compromise measure.
The house thereupon rescinded its
amendment and passed the original
$40 maximum bill, after sharp con
domination of senate tactics. The in
cident recalled the effort to waylay
the peaceful picketing bill lin 1896
A dummy measure was substituted
in the snouse for the legitimate
measure and would have been adopted
if a friendly legislator had not
scrutinized it. The trickery was ex-
posed and the official bill sent to the
clerks desk.

To Aid SANDING

Guatemalans are enlisting in Gen.
Sandino's army to resist the American
invasion of Nicaragua, according to
information received at the United
States headquarters of the Anti-Ini-
.periahst League in New York City.
Men and money are to be rushed
across the frontier to reinforce the

Extension of the campaign against
the invading forces is regarded by
the league as "unfnistakable evidence
that Latin America looks on Gen.
SANDING as the representative of COM
mon Latin American resistance
against Wall Street."
For the Defense.
A call signed by prominent Guate-
malans, as reported to the league,
reads in part:
Degenerate sons of Walker tan
early American freebooter in Central
Ameriea) sent by foreign power,

old fatherland Of Central America.
This is the first step of the imperial
list policy of the United States look

''In order to defend ourselves while

MEN MURDERED
IN KHAN TERROR
Stevenson, Ex-Kleag1e,
Tells Horrors in Cell

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, April q
Men were flogged, lynched and burned
at the stake for opposing the Ku Klux
Khan, while those higher placed were
ruined socially and politically when
the organization could not bend them
TO its will, D. G. Stephenson, former
Indiana khan dragon revealed in jail
today. Riots were melted and poll
tical officials bent to corrupt ways
through orders of the khan chiefs.
Parts Of Stephenson's deposition, deal
ing with murders and political crimes
charged to the khan, are withheld
pending court action on the deposit
tiou.
Naked Women.
"Women,"@ Stephenson declared,
were the chief and most effective
means Of destroying khan opponents.
In several cases one of these women
was photographed while scantily clad
and then, by skilled Photographic
manipulation of the pictures, the
klan's enemies would be combined in
the same view"
He told how the khan bought judges
by pledging them enough votes to
elect them, how legislators were put
in office to vote for bills suitable to
the society.
He revealed existence of the "black
mask" worn by members of lynching
ard whipping parties. 1t was the of
fetal uniform used in acts of mob
violence. He mentioned also the "bat-
talon of DEATH" a purpled robed
group of killers in Philadelphia and
other communities.
Membership.
Stephenson said that at the peak of
it's. prosperity in 1922 the khan had
$4,000 members in Indiana, $4,000
in Ohio, 100000 in Pennsylvania, CO.,
600 in New Jersey, and 100000 in all
the New England states. Illinois was
slightly below Indiana, the witness
said, while Michigan was about the
same as Indiana. Wisconsin had co.
600.
The organization took in between
fifty and sixty million dollars during
the time in which he held office,
Stephenson said.
Stephenson's deposition will be used
in a suit, to be heard April 6, in which
five former Klansmen are seeking to
have the khan barred from Pennsyl-
vania.

COMBINE TO FIGHT
BOSSES ATTACKS
Slave 11-Hour Day for
Starvation Wages

PATERSON, N. j., April 2.-The
silk workers Of Paterson and vicinity
are preparing plans to fight the in
creasing attempts Of employers to
lengthen the working hours in the
silk mills. According to an announce
nent by the leaders Of the Associated
Silk Workers Of America, the union
viii meet, the bosses attacks on the
workers standards by a counter de-
mand for increased wages and i'm
proved conditions generally.
The large number of open shops,
working 10 and II hours day will
be tackled by the workers in an at
tempt at organization. The union
also announces that a special organ
izer will be appointed to direct the
campaign.
Conferences are now under way to
secure the cooperation Of all craft
organizations of the silk workers.
The Horizontal Wrappers Benevolent
Association has already signified its
intention to back up a movement to
prevent the loss of the S-hour day. A
similar statement is expected daily
from the Loomfixers' and Twisters'
Association.
The sentiment expressed by the
workers is for the immediate organ
ization of a movement that will lead
to a general strike in the silk indus
try, which is only partly organized.
The most powerful feeling since the
general strike of 1918 for a general
drive against the silk manufacturers
is clearly in evidence among the I'M
organized as well as the organized
workers.
