of Real Interest.

Members of the Organization.
-—Trips to Atlanta and Macon
Planned.—Many Local Men
Talk Interestingly.
The Brunswick Rotary Club held an
unusually Interesting meeting in the
dining room of the Oglethorpe hotel
last night, which was attended by
most of the members of the club and
a large number of guests.
After enjoying a delightful dinner,
the organization at once settled down
to business, and a number of matters
of great interest to Brunswick came
up. The principal purpose of the meet
ing was to make arrangements for a
meeting here on September 20 with
!H. H. Raymond and other officials of
the Clyde Steamship line, who are
coming to Brunswick to confer with
local business men with a v%w of
reaching some definite decision as to
the future of the Clyde service be
tween New York and Brunswick.
Many of those present made short ad
dresses, touching on this subject, and
President George H. Smith, of the
dub, appointed a special committee,
■m m
composed of a half dozen or more
leading buslue** men to meet the
Clytfe officials and discuss the situs
lion.
night was that If the Clyde line would
give Brunswick the inmo old dependa
ble service of by gone years, if the
freight rate to this port were equal
to those of other South Atlantic ports,
then there was no reason whatever
why the former Immense bui Iness of
♦be old Mallory line could not again
be enjoyed by the Clyde line. It was I
pointed out that in past years the
Mallory, through the port of llruns
wick, ‘supplied practically all of the
adjacent terltory, white at present
very little of this business comes
through this port, A special commit
tee which has the matter In charge Is
now making a thorough Investigation
and will have the facts and figures to
preaent when the Clyde officials come
next week.
The proposed trip of the Rotary
Club to Atlanta and Macon early next
month, when the question of Atlanta
freight x wil| be taken up, was also dis
cussed last night. Secretary Wnrde
read letters frt in two of Atlanta's
newspapers stating that they would
give the proposed visit due publicity.
It Is expected that a large number of
Rotarlans will make the trip, and If
the arrangements can he completed
an afternoon meeting will be held In
Atlanta ami an evening meeting In
Macon,
At the outset of the meeting last
bight an address on "Rotary" was de
livered by Millard Reese, who very
forcibly told of the alms and purposes
of the organisation. He touched on
a number of subjects In which the city
generally Is Interested and pointed out
many things on which real work Can
be done hy the Rotary club. Others
who spoke an various subjects during
the evening were I're-ldent Geo. 11
Smith. C. P. Dusonburf, G. C. Smith.
R. f>. Mender. K H. Mason, C. W. Ir

LEWIS STANDS BY
KICKING MINERS
Chief is Squarely Behind the
Men in Their Fight Against a
Wage Cut—Says Mingo Fight
Must be Won.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 20.—N0
wage reduction of coal miners must
be permitted and all resources of the
miners’ union must be made available
to back up the policy in opposition to
wage cuts, John L. Lewis, president of
the United Workers of America de
clared here today in his report made
at the opening of the biennial' conven
tion of the International Union.
He also recommended a nostncne
ment until next February of the min
ers’ adoption of definite wage de
mands and declared that with all
wage agreements expiring on March
31, 1922, “the full influence and eco
nomic power of our great membership
may thus be utilized to the advantage
of our people for the achievement of
our ideals.’
Much of Mr. Lewis’ 40,000 word re
port, related to the wage question, ap
parently indicating that this would
be among the mbst important business
of the convention, which brought to
gether between 1,500 and 1,600 rep
resentatives of local unions scattered
throughout the United States, West
ern Canada and Nova Scotia. Aside
from the wage question, Mr.* Lewis
asked the convention -to administer a
rebuke to Robert H. Harlin, of Seat
tle, Wash., and Frank Farrington,
president of the Illinois miners, who
Lewis charged had circulated false
statements about the union. He also
asked the convention to indorse the
international board which he said
Alexander Howat, president. of the
Kansas miners’ organization had de
fied in not complying with the board #
order for strikers to return to work.
Other essential points of Mr. Lewis’
MMN
YnMlm
go county, W. Va.. must be won.”
Recommendation that legal proceed
ings be instituted to make a full test
of the constitutionality of the case of
the Kansas industrial law.
In discussing the wage question Mr,
said coal operators in Pennsyl
vania. Washington, lowa, Kansas, Col
orado, West Virginia. Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas.
'Arkansas, and Missouri had filed de
mands for reductions, but that the
union’s policy was uncompromisingly
for carrying out the present agree
ment, which he said, was predicated
on the award of the bituminous coal
commission functioning under govern
ment authority.
In a long review of the West Vir
ginia situation, Mr, Lewis expressed
hope that the senate investigating
committee "would be instrumental in
laying bare the horrors of that field
and in paving the way for recognition
of the rights of the mine workers who
desire to become members of the Unit
ed Mine Workers."
“Industrial peace will never come
to this tented area," declared Mr.
“until the miners of that field
are accorded the same privileges and
opportunities as exist in the organiz
ed sections of America and which are
their rightful heritage. The fight in
Mingo must be won."

ALL THE WORLD IS
A LIAR SAYS CLARK.
Atlanta, Sept. 20.—Edward Young
Clark, Imperial kleugle of the Ku Klux
Klan, and Mrsfl. Elizabeth Tyler, head
of the propagation department of the
order, issued statements Monday af
ternoon reply to the charge contained
in the New York World that they were
arrested In 1919 on a charge of im
moral conduct.
Colonel William Joseph Simmons,
Imperial wizard of the order, express
ed his entire confidence In the per*
nal character and rectitude of Mr.
Clarka and Mrs. Tyler,
In his statement, Mr. Clarke ex
plained that he came down with In
fluenza and pneumonia in an Atlanta
hotel in October, 1919; that he could
not obtain entrance to a hospital be
cause they were filled beyond capaci
ty; that Mrs. Tyler,’ who once took
two years of a medical course, car
ried him to her home, gave him a
room and assisted in nursing him back
to recovery; that his (Mr. Clarke’s)
wife, from whom he had then been
separated three years, heard of his
presence in Mrs. Tyler’s home and
sent officers there to have him arrest
ed and the folowing day sued him for
divorce and alimony; that he was
barely convalescent at the time of the
arrest, and that the charge of Immor
ality wras an “outrageous falsehood for
the deliberate purpose of damaging
his reputatren and prejudicing his
case before the Jury,that was to try
his wife’s divorce sult”* ; *
Mr. Clarke concluded his statement
by saying that the World has “proven
itself to be the biggest liar in Ameri
ca." He announced that the World’s
charges against the KUn are to be
answered by the Searchlight iff 4th
tail, and that this paper will become
a dally next week. . *; /
Mrs. Tyler, In her reply .to the
World, said:
"Theinference by the New York
World in regard to ray personal char
acter is a malicious lie. It shows two
things:* First, that the World has
failed in its attempt otdiscredit th#
Klan; second, that It has now stooped
so low as maliciously and unjustly to
attack a woman’s character. All I
will ay for the present is that I do not
believe there was ever a woman in
America so persecuted and forced to
make sacrifices as I have been. 1 will
answer all of these charges as soon as
the World has finished its series of
articles. None of the charges shall
go unanswered, i am not afraid of
what the verdict of real American peo
ple wiU be when the true facts are
pot before them ’’
