 2. Profits have risen enormously in 1941 over 1940. Most of this rise has occurred since the last major wage increases.
 5. Increased money earnings of workers due to last years wage in- creases have been seriously reduced by the rising cost of living. Many of the increases have already been wiped out
 4. Industry continues to increase its output per man hour, so that last years wage increases have acted only to offset in part the increase in pro ductivity.
 5. Most workers still receive in comes insufficient to provide the stand ard of living necessary to maintain good health, full efficiency and we'll being for the worker and his family.
 6. Aside from that part of the in- crease which was lost through price rises, wage increases have been used to buy better food clothing, and hous- ing for workers.

 ATTENTION, PUPILS! Here's a tough one for Proxy Feinmark: "The other night at our meeting, I made a motion, and then wanted to withdraw l.. The chairman ruled it could not be done. Will you give me your version as to whether the chairman made a correct ruling?" Taking deep breath, and going out into deep center with the sun in his eyes, Prof. Feinmark replies: "A request to withdraw a motion, or a motion to grant such leave to withdraw, may be made at any time before voting on the motion has begun. This may be done even if the motion has been amended. It re- quireS no second. It cannot be amend ed, and no subsidiary motion can be tackled on to it. Nor is the motion to withdraw debatable When a motion IS withdrawn, the effect is the same as if 1t had not been made. When the chair has not put the motion, the mov- CT can withdraw or modify the mo- ton without consent of the members After the motion has been presented to the body by the chairman the mak- CT of the motion cannot withdraw or modify 1t without the consent of the body.

THE KHAN AGAIN!

1 did not find much of such non sense in Louisiana. It is state set tied mostly by the French and the only southern state that can be called a Catholic state. But in Houston, Tex, there was primary election contest one Saturday and at night one of the evening newspapers came out with flaming headlines: "Protes- tant Ticket Wins" meaning the Klan had nominated its candidates There was procession that night of about 5000 autos with people holfering and blowing tin horns, etc.
 DICRESSION
 Let me digress here moment to say that I did not take much stock in that agitation when Senator Black was nominated for the Su- preme Court, for I know from in- timate observation, that most of those southern office holders had to belong to the Klan or they would never have been elected. That does not mean that they were Klansmen in spirit or intention. Most of them are far too intelIi- gent to subscribe to such silly doc trines as the Klan preached. It was simply expediency.
 K.I.G.U.
 In southern California the KIan was at one time rampant also and saw wide white line painted across the main entrances to some small towns with the letters about two feet long, 'K.LC.U. (KIans- men l Greet You). However. most of the mayors or city councillors had the decency to make the writ CTS blot this out.
 1 found in some places that the virus had contaminated some of our unions. l had organized a union in another California town when I was confronted with one proprietor who would have nothing to do with the union. l told the lady who was sec retary of the trouble I was having with this man, and she said: q will go with you and make him jump through the hoop" She did. I found he was a Klansman and the lady was the leader of the auxiliary to the Klan. What a laugh!
 KHAN PARADE
 In certain Kansas town I first saw a Klan parade. We had a strike on there and most of the restaurants were being picketed. There was a state meeting of the Klan one Satur- day night and delegations were com ing from all parts. I found the Klans- men on arriving were taking our picket signs away from our pickets and carrying them themselves. found out that the Labor Council of the town was dominated by the K1an and they had instructed the delegates of the facts of the trouble. That night there was parade in uniform (night shirts) and all masked. Overhead was an airplane with the fiery cross under it in light bulbs. The marchers car ried such banners as Go joyriding with your own wife," etc. I. had a hearty laugh over the affair.
 l found in digging down to facts that none of our true union people were Klansmen. They had adopted it in some instances for the pur- pose, like the politicians, of capi- talking on the popularity of the affair in their special locality. Labor unionism and bigotry such as the Klan proposed simply will not mix.
