riiotographi of the ruler of the
"invisible empire" how him stern,
dignified and very, very military in
his perfectly tailored uniform, a
brightly polished aber at his side.
Put a closer inspection, alas, re
veals no insignia of state or govern
ment but merely the emblem of the
Omaha insurance organization.
Not a Colonel
But this is not all. Inquiries made
t the headquarters of the Wood
men of the World in Omaha brought
out that the imperial, wizard is no
longer a colonel," hasn't been, in
fact, for four years despite the fact
that from his "imperial palace" in
Atlanta he continues to impress his
unsuspecting subjects by adding the
title to his signature on every pos
ible occasion.
To a reporter for The Bee, John
T. Vales, sovereign clerk of the
Woodmen of the World, told ot Sim
mons' connection with the Omaha
lodge.
"Simmons was appointed a col
onel in the Woodmen of the World
after he had organized a regiment
for our auxiliary in Atlanta," said
Mr. Yates. "He visited in Omaha
some time before the regiment was
organized, I believe. I have not
heard of him coming here since. He
completed the organization cf the
regiment about 10 years ago.
' War Depletes Ranks. -"When
the war started our mili
tary auxiliary became but a skeleton
of its former strength and the uni
form ranks were practically done
away with. It was then that Sim
mons ceased to hold his official office
in our order."
Simmons ceased to be a Woodmen
of the World colonel before he be
gan the Klan organization work,
Yates said. Simmons' only connec
tion with the Omaha lodge now is
that he still keeps up his insurance,
Mr. Yates said.
"We never considered Simmons a
very strong man," Mr. Yates, told
reporters for The Bee, "but perhaps
we were wrong. He had an idea and
profited by it, apparently. His klan
activities had nothing- to do with his
. ceasing to be a colonel and we have
-MOoe&ire- to force him entirely out
of our organization. We couldn't
anyway, tiniest he was convicted of
a felony."
Klux Organizer Here'
i Writes to The Bee
.
the following letter from F. E.
Maxevi principal organizer for the
Ku Klux Klan in Omaha, was re
ceived by The Bee yesterday:
"Under the' caption, , 'Labor Head
Raps Ku Klux Klan,' there appears
a statement that Tony Donahoe,
president of the Central Labor
union, this city, endorses Samuel
Gompers' attitude denouncing this
organization. : '
"Mr. Donahoe, as reported by The
Bee. states, among other things, that
he 'knows many reasons why this
organization should be suppressed
without any delay or quibbling, but
fails to state any of these reasons.
Mr. Donahoe has a perfect right to
express his opposition to this or
ganization, but when he makes the
statement that labor is opposed to
; ttiis organization he is evidently wil-
- fully misrepresenting things or he is
uninformed, as there are among the
members of this organization many
trade union men of high character
. and some of whom are the most
prominent figures in the labor world.
While it is true that there are some
extreme radicals in the labor move
ment that the principles of this or
ganization do not appeal to, this is
, a class that would not under any
circumstances be admitted to mem
bership in the Ku Klux Klan. Mr.
Donahoe is evidently not very famil
iar with the sentiments of organized
labor even in his own city when he
makes these statements through the
columns of lhe Bee.
Raps at Gompers.
"Now just a word in reference to
Samuel Gompers, who, in the opinion
of many labor men, has outlived his
usefulness as head of the labor move
ment. Mr. Donahoe will no doubt
recall that a short while ago during
the persidential campaign that Mr.
Gompers sent out letters to the mem
bers of organiied labor urging them
to vote for Mr. Cox for president, and
we have only to view the results of
the election to see just how much
influence Mr. Gompers wields among
the' free-thinking members of organ-
-. witn their views of real American
ism. It is about time that Mr. Dona-
' hoe as well as Mr. Gompers realized
that so-called leaders of the labor
movement can no longer dictate to
the rank and file of labor what ticket
they shall vote or with what organi
zation they shall affiliate. The writ-
' cr's acquaintance among members of
organized labor, the rank and file as
well as the officers of various labor
organizations, runs into the thou
sands; therefore, I claim to be in a
position to know the sentiment of
the members of organized labc
throughout the country equally as
as well as the majority of so-called
labor. leaders, and from my observa
tion of real 100 per cent American
members of organized labor, they are
solidly behind the Ku Klux Klan and
the principles for which they stand."

ditioned on the fact that the paper

Removes Objections.
The new plan removes objections
lo the present limitation on agricul
tural financing, it was pointed out,
because under the federal reserve re
strictions, after the paper pacs out
of the hands of the banker who made
the loan, it becomes finance paper

Governor McKclvie arrived here
yesterday with J. E. Hart, sec
retary of the state department of
trade and commerce, to attend the
tankers' conference at the Hotel
Fontenelle at 7:30 p. m. The gov
ernor said he is firmly convinced
that the present system of operating
the federal reserve banks is respon
sible tor the shortace of monev
among Nebraska farmers.
Costs Banks 3 Per Cent
"Everyone knows." the governor
said, "it costs the country banks 3
per cent to operate and the present
rate for rediscount at the federal
reserve bank" is 6 per cent. That
means 10 per cent for the farmer at
the very least.
1 hen we must consider that the
federal reserve bank, an institution
supposed to be for relief rather than
profit, has been making as high as
200 per cent. I believe we should
work out some method whereby the
rediscount rate at the federal reserve
bank is reduced and also some meth
od which will make borrowing
through this bank easier for the
farmer. It seems a shame that at
this time, when money is so hard
to get, there is more than $12,500,
000 available for the handling of re
discounts at the Kansas City federal
reserve bank which is not being
used, either because of, the high rate
of interest, or the difficulty in get
ting money from this bank."
Approves Conference.
Before leaving Omaha yester
day Governor McKelvie an
swered a letter from Gov. N. E.
Kendall of Iowa, approving: oro-
posed conference of governors to be
held at ,iJes Moines in the near' fu
ture to discuss the freight rate sit
uation, unemployment and other
vital subjects which affect the pros
perity ot this section of the country.
The governor, in his reply, stated
that while the freight rate question
is a vital one, he believed the rail
road commissions of the various
states are in the best position to
handle it and that unemployment is
not a vital subject in Nebraska, but
that he did believe the governors
should meet at Des Moines and con
fer on some method of getting credit
for the farmer. ,
The letter written by Governor
Kendall was tentative in its charac
ter and merely asked the opinion of
Governor McKelvie as to the pro
posed meeting. . Governor Kendall
would invite the governors of Michi
gan, . Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri,
Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota
and South Dakota.
Cash for Nebraska

nance corporation was to stabilize
business conditions.
"People must not be encouraged to
raise more stuff than can be sold,
and 'manufacturers must not make
goods that there is no market for,"
he said. "Some people try to make
it appear that if we would only lend
Europe more money we could sell
everything that could be produced.
This is not true. Our money, in
many instances, is not wanted. Those
foreign companies who got loans
here a year ago have found it ex
tremely difficult to pay them off since
their currency depreciated. We know
that loans to Europe are not the solu
tion. Must Mobilize Cash.
"This country is rich, its crop are
good, and we have plenty of funds,
if we can only mobilize them, to
help agriculture and put all business
on its feet. The cotton situation
has already been met, and it will be
a good deal easier to help the, live
stock business.
"The War Finance corporation has
the money, and it is up to the local
banks to get their share and pass
it on. It is time to turn our minds
from the trouble that is past and face
the future. We are not in for a
boom, but the country is going .for
ward and men who know are. full cf
confidence."
Loans are not made direct through
the War Finance corporation. The
individual ' borrower must deal
through his bank, or a loan .com
pany, which will rediscount his note,
warehouse receipt or other collateral
through the federal agency. The
bank has to guarantee the paper, in
return for which it is entitled to
charge the borrower more not to
exceed 2 per cent.
Plan Will Help Farmer.
The probable rate of interest on
cattle paper will be 6 per cent to
the banks, which could be increased
only to 8 per cent under the regula
tions, when paid by the individual
borrower. A preferential rate of
5 1-2 per cent for rediscounts, run
ning not over 6 months is contem
plated. Cattle loans may be made
for one year, with the possibility of
renewal for a total period of three
years. ' ,
Loans for agricultural purposes are
onstrued as for" any purpose con
nected with the growing, harvesting,
prowaration for market, and market
ing W agricultural products, or the
breeding, raising, fattening and
marketing of live stock. Farmers' co
operative institutions are allowed to
deal with -tne war finance corpora
tion. Charles S. Barrett, national
president of the Farmers 'union, and
other officials of his organization,
met with Mr. Merer, and said that
thev had no doubt the plan was sro-

The Federal Reserve bank and high

enemies to prosperity of Nebraska

Andrews said.
In speaking of freight rates, he
declared that railroads were not play
ing square with the public or em
ployes. "When they asked to lower wages
they said it was necessary to lower
freight rates," Andrews said, "and
now that wages are lowered we see
no sign of lower freight rates."

, Hoover Takes Charge.
Secretary Hoover, speaking inline
tliatelv after the president had' con
cluded his address, declared the con
ference first should determine the
volume, distribution and character
of the nation's unemployment atu
then evolve a scries of methods to
meet the present situation.
The commerce secretary expressed
the belief, as did l'rcsident Harding,
that the conference also should con
sider measures which could be uti
lized in event of recurrence cf un
employment tides.
Remedies for the unemployment
situation, Mr. Hoover declared, must
not include any legislative program
and there must be no drain upon
the public treasury. The United
States, he said, had so far escaped
the doles and charity methods of
foreign nations and should seek a
mobilization of the co-operativt ac
tion of manufacturers, employers and
public authorities to meet the situa
tion. Mr. Hoover suggested that the
conference in order to facilitate its
work at once dissolve into commit
tees which would report the various
recommendations to the conference
and that a committee on organiza
tion and program be appointed.
Committees Are Named.
A motion that a committee on or
ganization be named by Mr. Hoover
was adopted and a committee of 10
to be added to later was named by
Mr. Hoover as follows: Henry S.
Robinson, Los Angeles; Charles M.
Schwab, New York; Julius Barnes,
Duluth: Mavor James Couzens, De
troit; C H. Harkham, Chicago; Com
missioner T. V. U Lonnor, shipping
board; Ida M. Tarbell, New York;
Samuel M. Lindsay, New York;
Clarence Mott Woolley, Detroit, and
Matthew rool. vice president Amer
ican- Federation of Labor.
The conference then adjourned to
meet again this afternoon to consider
the preliminary report of the com
mittee, which immediately went into
session.
Coincident with the convening of
the unemployment conference Ur
bain Ledoux. who has been conduct
ing a campaign for relief of the un
employment in Boston and New
York, arrived in Washington and an
nounced he would attend the confer
ence as an observer. Ledoux said
lie would appeal to President Hard-
itiR to publish the names of those
who during the war profited to the
extent ot more than 1UU per cent so
that they might share equally with
the unemployed the latter's part to
be used under government supervi
sion for "work of constructive wel
fare." ,

"The supporters of enforcement do
not desire to make the laws anv

'But it is different with automo
