UPTON SINCLAIR IN HIS “GO-UP” WRITES ABOUT “TWO KLANS,” THE “KLAN OF THE POOR AND OF RICH” In his book, “Co-op,” Upton Sinclair writes about the Khui of the poor, the Klan that rides at night covered over with bed sheets, and the Klan of the rich which is foiupd in the soft leather chairs of “our“ best exclusive dubs. Two new organizations have sprung up in the last few days, and each represents one of the Klans described by Sinclair. The Rev. Gerald K. Smith, who suc ceeded to Huey Long’s Louisiana em pire, has announced the establishment of his “Committee of 1,000,000.” You have to be ready to do many things if you join.

Are you willing to do this?” That is the Klan of the poor. A Klan of the rich, headed by of ficers now in the armed forces of the United States, have formed what they call the “Constitutional Democ racy Association, Inc.” Their first concern, from the information that has leaked out about the group, is political opposition in the halls of Congress to constitutional reform. Contrary to law, a general and an admiral have associated themselves with a movement to lead a political campaign. They are demonstrating the beginnings of the military inter ference and control that has become routine in the Fascist nations.—Am. Legion Against War and Fascism. Mooney Is Refused Legislative Pardon By California SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 17. —-The California Senate yesterday voted down, 34-5, an Assembly-spon sored resolution to grant a legislative pardon to Thomas J. Mooney, con victed of murder in 1916 San Francis co Preparedness Day bombing. The resolution, challeneged as un constitutional in some official quar ters, was passed 45 to 28 last week in the Assembly, where it was introduced by Assemblyman P. A. Ritchie of San Diego, T. A. Maloney of San Fran cisco, and 15 other assembly members., The Senate ballot was taken with two special policemen patroling the crowded gallery, which had listened in tense silence to arguments for and against the proposal to free the inter nationally-known prisoner. Shaw-Horton Tire Co. 6th and College Phone 7111 Lenoir Carpenters And Joiners Justify Mr. Albert Beck The Labor Journal is in receipt of a letter from Albert Beck, at one time a well known labor leader in North Carolina, but who had dropped put of the limelight for some time. He tells us that he is back in Lenoir, i where he is president and organiser of Carpenters and Joiners' local, No. ,1581, Lenoir, N. C. The following ^resolution by this local is carried by j-equest: “We, the undersigned members of Carpenters and Joiners Local, No. 1581, Lenoir, N. C., want this state ment carired in the Labor Press of North Carolina. Propaganda has been spread around Lenoir that our E'dent and organiser, Alfred P. , absconded with our money, but this is false, and as members of the finance committee of the union, we are pleased to say that checking over the books of Alfred Beck we find the first sum turned ovefr to the bonded treasurer was the sum of $550.00 that he collected while organizing our un ion. We also checked back and found that when we was treasurer he left our treasury in a healthy condition, with $1,339.13 in it We have found him a square-shooting union man as far as we are concerned.” The above is signed by the finance committee of local 1581 of Lenoir. The Journal is very sorry that space forbids carrying a lengthy statement, and we only publish this at the re quest of the Lenoir C. A J local and of Mr. Beck, without comment. PATR0M2E •journal ADVERTISERS Farmers Union Head Endorses Union La bel In Radio Address JSt_ In a radio address over the Na tional Broadcasting Company, Wil liam C. Irby, Member of the National Committee of the Farmers’ Union, re cently said: “When I bought this hat, I looked in it for the “union-label.” I also looked into the pockets of the coat, yest, pants, in the shoes, on the socks, etc., for the “union-label.” “Why? Because .those little “union labels” were the same as letters to me from the men and women, who made them, that I could buy and wear them knowing that they had been treated as human beings and not as beasts of burden by the factories that sold them to the merchants. “I was doing my Christian duty of helping those men and women to bear their great burden of support ing and protecting themselves and families. “When the union workers look for and demand the stamp of the (plow, hoe and rake) our farm union label, upon products, they are helping the farmers to bear their great burden of supporting and protecting them selves. “That little ‘union label’ is more powerful than bullets in protection of the rights of the workers. “Let the farm and city men, wom en and children demand the ‘union label.’ There would be no one else to buy and the industrial barons and overlords would call for organizers to show their people how to organize, instead of using armed gunmen, blackguards and ruffians to perse cute, ambush and assassinate union men and women as is done in every section of this country. "Government reports show that when the wage income of city labor amounted to about $10,000,000,000 a year, the income of farmers was about $10,000,000,000 a qear.
