Public Meetings
Being Held Where
Silence Prevailed

LOS ANGELEs(A N P)-With
a feeling of apprehension among
citizens growing as the result OF
renewed Ku Klux Klan activity
here local leaders are discussing
plans to demand that the Dies
committee investigate them also
while cleaning" up the coast OF
"Reds."
Seemingly encouraged by the
governments drive against un-
American organizations, Klan
groups here have made several
recently public demonstrations.
Keeping silent on their former
platform and anti-jew, anti-Catho-
iie and anti-Negro, they have been
declaring that they are after driv-
ing out communism. But Negro
observers of the movement place
little faith in their confining their
activities to the Reds OF enemy
aliens alone. They feel that as
soon as they have sufficiently re-
gained the strength lost more than
ten years ago, they will direct
their antagonism to Negroes es-
peeially.
last week for the first time ir
ten wears, public meeting was
held i, Santa Ana c1ce a hot-bed
of Klar activity. Dressed in their
white ropes they burned a 20-foot

Probe By
State Officers
|Fizzling' Out

ANDERSON, S. C.-(ANP)-The
investigation by state officers here
of the Ku Klux Klan is gradually
petering out. There have been no
further arrests since the first
Klansmen were arrested about a
month ago.
The results of the investigation
by the federal government have
not been made public and it is be-
lieved in some quarters that there
will be no federal action against
the South Carolina Klan although
the Negroes in the upper part of
the state have been terrorized for
months as a result OF an unpre-
cedented registration of colored
voters last summer.
Frank McCallister, southern Sec
retary of the Workers Defense
league, has been particularly active
in getting the authorities in Wash
ington to take a hand in the in
VESllSdU1O11. nc CdlllC w vi CCAA-
vile last summer after the Klan
started intimidating the newly
registered colored voters and made
public statements in defense Of
Negro rights in the matter Of reg
istration. McCallister made two
trips to Washington in the interest
of the Klan situation in Green
vile.
A statement in the white press
that there was little likelihood OF
federal interference has caused
LIGHTS to burn in the Klans halls
again after being in darkness for
over a month. In the Fork Shoals
section of Greenville county it is
alleged that the Klan has again
started it's reign Of terror and one
Negro has been carried from home
and beaten severely.
In a labor relations board case
IN Greenville. Klan literature and
placards were admitted as evidence
by the labor board examiner in
spite of the protests of the lawyer
for the mill. There is no doubt that
among its other terroristic &C
tivities the Klan intimidated
workers who wished to organize.

For Equal Teachers Pay

ence between league officials and
Mayor w. w. Mynatt, who was
then up for reelection, the latter
part of October, 1899, to discuss
the question of equal salaries.
PROMISES RAISE
Mayor Mynatt promised that II
$1,000 enough money to eQualize
the salaries of whites and Negro
teachers, came into the city Golfers
before November 5, 1889, it would
be turned over to the Board OF
Education to equalize the salaries
of the two groups beginning Sep
tenlber, 1910.
A league questionnaireN went out
Immediately to all can, 1idates in
the November, 1889 election, on the
matter of equal salaries. All can
didates replied in favor of equal
salaries. On December /, 1899, the
Mayor as head of the City Council,
turned over to the board of edu-
cation, the necessary 5000. On
December IL, the local school board
abolished the double salary scale
and added $14,70O to its budget tc
equalize all salaries for 1910. Mem
bers of the school board are:
DR.. Harry Clark, superintendent
of city schools; DR.. w. E. Christen-
berry, chairman of the board; Mrs.
