C THE BEE : OMAHA! FRIDAY, Jl)LY 9,-1920. 8 X V y SENATORS WILL GOTOST.LOUISTO CONTINUE PROBE 7 Georgia Committeeman Tells That Negroes Are Lynched In South for Being ' Republicans. Chicago, July 8. The senate com - rnittee investigating campaign ex penditures completed its work in Chicago today by examining Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro republican national committeeman trom Georgia and manager of the Lowden campaign in that state. The committee will leave tonight for St. Louis, where investigation of Attorney General Falmer's cam paign for the democratic presidential nomination will be opened tomor row. - Johnson confirmed the statement of the Lowden campaign treasurer that he had received ' $9,000 from the Illinois governor's campaign chest. He set his own expenditures in Georgia at $20,000; charged the Wood supporters had spent $60,000 and also accused the democrats of spending large sums and buying votes at from $5 to $5,000 each in loral, elections. Negroet Have Disappeared. The committee questioned John eon about lynchings in the south and elicited the statement that . roes who voted the republican ticket have "disappeared" and never been heard from again. "They don't lynch men for ' be longing Jo the republican party, do they?" asked Scnatpr Kenvon. "Oh, yes, they do," Johnson re plied. "Many a. negro voting thr republlcan ticket has disappeared and no tidings have ever been heard of him." Referring to other causes of lynchings, Johnson asserted the great trouble -was that white men were allowed to attack negro girls without punishment. Soldiers Went Unpunished. He cited aJtegcd iustances of . white soldiers attacking negro girls during the war and said the sol diers, though discovered, went un . punish.-d. . fn Dublin, Ga, during the prk I convention campaign . there was "wild use of, money," the witness asserted.' "I spent onjy $150 there," he explained, "but the other fellows spent more than $2,000." "The other fellows," he, sail, "were representatives of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood." Askd if Wood supporters "bought delegates," Johnson said he didn't know, but "they passed out plenty of jack." Johnson declared that backers of General Wood spent "around $6 t 000 in Georgia, while the Lowden . supporters spent only $20,000." Clark L. Grier, former postmaster " at'Aupusta, Ga., was the "payoff man" for the Wood people, he said, adding that Grier worked under di rect orders from Frank Hitchcock, I former postmaster general in the Roosevelt cabinet. Demos Paid High. Democrats paid from $5 to $5,000 for votes in Georgia this year and "generally spent more money than the republicans," Johnson told the committee. Senator Kenyon suddenly turned to the Palmer campaign in Georgia, asking Johnson if officials of the Department of Justice took part in the attorney . general's campaign there. , "Hooper L. Alexander of Atlanta -was the leader," Johnson said. vOther questions concerning activi ties of the Department of Justice in Georgia brought no definite informa-, . tion. .

Ad " COMPARES HARD COAL INDUSTRY TO HUGE OCTOPUS Commission Hears Arguments Against Presentation of Reports of Lauck. Scranton, Ja., July 7. Efforts jpi mine operators to prevent public submission of arguments on seven exhibits presented by W. Jett Lauck, economist and statistician for the Anthracite mine workers, led today to the first executive session of the anthracite coal commission. W. O. Thompson, chairman of the com mission which was aouointed bv President Wilson, later ruled that cmporarily the public ' hearings would continue, but he said early adjournment would "be taken tomor rowMo decide the matter finally. The anthracite coal industry is dominated by a monopolistic sys tem that "presses up to squeeze the consumers and down to squeeze the wage earner, by diverting profits at points where neither can see them through the screen of bookkeeping nnd legal devices," Mr. Lauck det dared in arguing the admissibility of his exhibits on profiteering and monopoly. Mr. Lauck also declared that the real profits of the anthracite in dusty were at least seven times the apparent profits. "The very fact that the operators object to these exhibits becoming a part of the official record in this case," said Mr. Lauck, "constitutes the strongest conceivable argument why this commission! should not only receive this evidence, but should jrive it first consideration in arriv ing at a determination of the cause. "The anthracite industry has been organized into a huge combination, a monopoly very similar in struc ture to an octopus. Its head and body are a very small group of banking interests. Its entwining arms are seven railway systems which control at their extremities the anthracite mining operations of the country. "The point which we wish to make is that a well-definjd process exists by which the profits of the anthra cite industry are successfully con cealed, the high prices being ex plained by apparent high costs."

REORGANIZATION OF EDUCATORS BOARD PLANNED Bitter Fight On Complete Re-, vamping of Association Pre saged at Salt Lake Convention. Salt Lake City. July 8. Although it was rated no higher than a pre liminary skirmish, leaders of forces favoring and opposing reorganiza tion of the' National Education as sociation drew their strategy care fully for a meeting of Utah mem bers of the body late today. Both sides regard developments of the meeting as important. The Utahans are conceded to hold the balance of power, so far as numbers are concerned in this con vention, because of its location. Their meeting was called to con sider the plan of-reorganization on a delegate basis proposed by the board of directors. Hope for Stampede. Miss Margaret Halsy of Chicago, leader of the anti-organization fac tion, plans to attend the meeting, according to a rumor which she de clined to deny. This story was that Miss Haley hoped to be able ta stampede the Utah delegation and thereby turn .the largest single factor, numerically, in the conven tion against reorganization. She has not been invited to speak and J. Fred Anderson, president of the Utah Education association, docs not favor her speaking if she should attend. These rumors, when detailed to Miss Haley, evoked first chuckles, then a hearty laugh. "I'd be silly to tell my plans to the newspapers be forehand, wouldn't I," she said. The business of the Utahans, as reorganization forces hope to see it transacted, is endorsement of an amendment offered last year to change the amending clause of the national association's bylaws', which would permit amendments to be made at any time by two-thirds vote. Unless nis is done, the re organization plan may be found im possible of adoption this year, it is said. The reorganizationists admit that after they have adopted the re organization plan they propose to restore the amending clause as it now stands. y v Are Being Entertained. Busy as the delegates are with contests of one sort and another, however, they are finding time for attendance at a number... of social functions. -Besides the almost in numerable affairs arranged for indi viduals and small groups, therd is a steady round of teas, receptions and other functions to which all the dele gates are invited. The California state delegation Dannebrog, Neb., July 7, 1 920. To the Stockholders of Skinner Packing Co.: Dear Mr Stockholder: Don't you think it is about time that we get down to busi ness and get that fine plant of ours going at full force? Can you afford to lose money every day the plant is closed? If you attended the meeting June 26th you surely can see by this time, that the resolution passed at that time is our only salvation. You must also be able to see that if wjs leave it in the hands of the management of the men we then decided upon we will come out alright. I went to that meeting prejudiced against the Skinner brothers and with an open ear and heart for all the committee of nine might have to say. Imagine my surprise when I dis covered that their chairman, Mr. Gustafson had never invested a dollar, of his own money in our company. I "never will be able to understand how any man would go to the meeting that Mr. Howe called and take so active a part in that meeting that he came out a full fledged chair man of an investigating commit tee without even being a stock holder. Mr. Gustafson explained June 26th, that he did it to help the farmers. Those farmers can not be the kindW farmers we have in Howard county, as they are so intelligent a type of men that they are perfectly well ible to ttike care of their own inter est. If thosey same farmers wanted a spokesman, they would have selected quite a different type and they would have se lected a man that had his hard earned money invested himself. At times you could hardly l.elp feeling sorrx for Mr. Gustafson even if he himself seemed im mensely well satisfied with the situation. I for one was through with him after he had talk-id two minutes his position was too doubtful., They stamped the meeting of June 26th as being largely attended by Skinner em ployees and paid henchmen. I noticed some of the heaviest stockholders, in coata of the Skin ner employees, and as for the paid henchmen I wonder who is paid. Does Mr. Gustafson do all this mischief for the love of the work for the love of humanity or what? A lover of humanity would have a different appear ance i;rom Mr. Gustafson's on June 26th. x Now, Mr. Stockholder, let us get to work, let us all boost for our company. Do not listen to agitators paid or not paid. We know that if our plant is kept closed we lose money daily wa know if it is sold we will I031; it all. Mr. Gustafson has noth ing to lose what he has to gain vn can only, guess. But we do not need to guess when it comes to ourSwn loss and gain. Let the stockholders decide this af fair, let us all put our shoulder to the wheeL We do not need to have men who have no money at stake tell us how to handle our investments. L DR. T.

Special Officers on v Guard as Result of Upon Mi Attack iners Williamson, W. Ya., July 8.
