PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 1. The
case of 400,000 shopmen now partic
ipating in a railroad strike was ex
pected to he placed before this morn
ing's session ot the Ejiscopal bish
ops by a representative of the six
federated shop crafts of Portland for
the rebuke or Instruction of the
bishops, if in their eyes the position
of the unions is an unwarranted ono.
Audience was granted upon the re
ceipt ot a communication from the
unions.
Bishop Arthur C. Hall Of Ver
mont, spokesman for the conference,
said that inasmuch as the bishops are
meeting in informal conferences only,
they would hear the representatives
of the unions as Individuals and not
as the house of bishops.
The letter declared that "four hun
dred thousand railroad shopmen left
their positions with the railroads on
July 1. 1922, believing that they
were justified in the eyes of God and
man, in taking the step they took,!'
and continued:
"The strikers are honest workmen
and Christian men. We believed we
were doing right when we left our
employment because of a grievance.
We stijl believe as we did then. But
we have not had much opoprtunlty to
lay our case before the public In the
light in which we see it. We want
publicity for action. We are not
ashamed but we are open to rebuke or
instruction, if, In the eyes of others,
wiser than we, our position Is an un
warranted one.

To the Editor:
ho resolutions published in your

that two or mora of these candidates
for office are members of, or closely

Tho "party lash" Is something thnt

rensonlng is that if a horso tniet

Recently thero was a banquet at
Medford Hotel and the chairman of

tee eume--down.f rom Portland to re
concile tho differences of the republi
cans of Jackson county on this ques
tion of the Ku Klux Klun, at that
meeting he,' as well' as. Bert Ander
son, and some others, urged the re
publicans of the county to support
tho ticket from top to bottom. In
cluding these members or sympa
thizers with the Ku Klux Klan.
A very short time -before this meet
ing the Ku Klux Klan had taken
upon Itself, supported by these men
who are candidates for office, to re
call a good, thorough-going republi
can officer in Jackson 'county, C. E.
TerriU, and place In his stead fts sher
iff a Ku Klux Klan democratic can

Bert Anderson, and nlso others who
are now seeking to line up tho repub
licans of the county to support Ku

fice. Docb Mr. Anderson think that the
republicans of Jackson county have
forgotten tho Insulting letter which!
he wrote to the governor of this state
because the governor hud seen fit to
remove a Ku Klux Klan officer'.'
Does Mr. Anderson think thnt tho re
publicans of this county have so soon
forgotten that he made an especial
effort to throw out of office tho good
republican sheriff of this county?
Does Mr. Anderson think that the re
publicans of this county have forgot
ten that C. M. Thomas, two years ago.
refused to go upon the stump and
support the Honorable E. V. Carter,
and that he quietly gave his support
to George Mansfield, the democratic
candidate for thS legislature, and Mr.
Mansfield and Mr. Thomas had so
consulted with each other as to Mr.
Thomas' legislative policies, that Mr.
Mansfield modo tho following state
ment in print:
"If elected your representative
I will be found acting In co
operation with your Senator, C.
M. Thomas, whose legislative
policies I fully endorse."
No, It does not lie within the pro
vince of Mr. Anderson or any other
member of the Ku Klux Klan to ad
vise the republicans of this county
how lo vote. They are men and
women of real Intelligence and will
vote for candidates who are real re
publicans and are not allied or in
sympathy with an "Invisible Govern
ment" located at Atlanta, Georgia.
No, my dear Mr. Anderson, we are
not launching a third pnrty upon the
troubled sea of politics. We are
simply, trying to replace some of the
rotten material which we find in the
official personnel of the two old parties.-
-,
Miss Hanlcy's nomination and
Mace on the ticket, will give all men
and women of Independent spirit, an
opportunity to elect a representative,
who is not a member of the Ku Klux
Klan.
I do not understand why demo
cratic committeemen In Oregon seek i
to apply the "party lash". If all the
democrats In the state were whipped
Into line, they would only muster
one-third of the votes in the state. I
Now, down in Texas, for Instance, thei
democrats outnumber the republi
cans In about the ratio of 4 to 1.
Hence, the Bert Andersons of Texas
do not shed crocodile tears over the
independent spirit of the voters.

U.S. CONSULATE
BY JOHN BULL
LONDON, Sept. 1. (By the Asso

American consulate at Newenstle-on-Tyne,
following cancellation of the
consular .exenueturs by tho British
government is apparently for nn in
definite period. Tho consulate, it Is
learned, has been closed since Tues
day. ,
Fred C. Sinter, the consul, hns been
ordered to Corunna, Spain, and Rus
sell M. Brooks, vice-consul, to Dres
den. Tho archives have been ro
moved to tho consulate nt Hull, which
la the nenrest ono to Newcastle.,
Tho action of the British govern
ment' Is -said to have been taken on
tho grounds that tho two coiisular
offiuiuis wero unduly active : in so
liciting business for tho vessels of tho
United States shipping hoard and
that attempts were made to coerce
British subjects into using American
vessels instead of British registry.
This wns denied by Mr. Slater last
night.
Tho British government, six weeks
ago, ndvised tho American govern
ment It had proof of abuse by Consul
Slater t and Vice-consul Brooks of
their positions und that It had de
cided reluctantly to withdraw their
papers. Tho government stated nlso
thnt. it would defer action fnr a
"month or two, as tho American gov
ernment was conducting-Its own ne
gotiations and might decide to re
move tho officials Itself.- .
Tho American governments reply
wns thnt It did not consider nny of
the allegations substantiated.

"The British government nt the

French Agreement to Reduc

Believed to Have Postponed
Catastrophe Threat to
Consider Versailles Treaty
: Abrogated Cause of Action.
PARIS, Sept. 1. (By tho Asso
ciated Press.) Tho French cabinet
today simply "took cognizance", ot
the decision of the reparations com
mission on the German moratorium
question, neither approving or disap
proving it. It specifically reserved
however, "entire liberty of action"
In cuse later developments made other
actio necessary.
The cabinet held that Inasmuch
ns no moratorium had been granted
Gnrniany, It could noly recognize the
situation, but It insisted that a con
ference should be culled attended by
ull tho allies without exception," ut
which tho question of inter-ullled
debts and reparations should be fully
considered.
Won Hy English Throat
PARIS. Sept. 1. JPremler . Poln-
caro won over to the German
reparations agreement yesterday
only after the definite statement had
been circulated In allied circles that
independent action by France
ngalnst Germany at the present
juncture would be construed in Lon
don and Rome as nullification of tho
Versailles treaty.
The til's! act of the dnclslnn Is tn
taka tho reparations question out, ot
tho hands of the commission for the'
present and to make it a matter for
negotiation directly between t"he Ber
lin and Urussols governments. Bel
glum la left to determine what guar
antees she deems necessary to ac
ceptance of the short term notes. .
Should the two countries fall to
agree on the necessary guarantees,
Gormany then Is required to deposit
an unfixed sum of gold with some
foreign bank approved 'by Belgium.
It is believed, however, that a speedy
agreement will be .reached as Herr
Schroeder, the German spokesman,
yesterduy virtually promised M. De
Lalcrox, the Belgium representative
that Germany would give any guar-,
antee demanded.
Kcdtiro Indemnity
Tho decision also anticipates al
lied conference In the near future at
which a reduction of the Indemnity
to about fifty billion gold marks sand
hn settlement hv cancellation of the
Inter-allied debts will be undertaken.
The reparations commission prom
ises to consider at a later date Ger
many's request tor a moratorium ot
several years' duration. This will be
tuken up after a new scheme for
radical reform of Germany's finances,
Including the balancing of the budget,
Is presented to the Berlin , govern
ment. i , ....
The relief granted at the present
time Is tor the purpose of giving the
commission time to complete the new
scheme of reform and Germany the
opportunity of carrying It out.
The commission expects that these
reforms nnd the relief afforded by
the virtual moratorium for ttw re
mainder of this year will permit Ger
many to float large external and In
ternal loans, the latter Jo be used
partly to pay reparations and partly
to rehabilitate the country's finances..
