Gider of Blackshirts, the Band of Caucasian Crusaders and the Ku Klux Klan.

For the moment the American Fascist! appears the most active The White Band per haps is next, and the Ku Klux Klen seems but a shadow oi its former self, although no one Ls entirely ee tain as to its exact strength or the definite scope oi its present activity. All throe of these organisations have headquarters in Atlanta an 1 uie first two undoubtedly center their main strength whatever it is, ill that city. The Ku Klux Klan maintains its organisation In states but seldom shows Its hand While the other two organization make rather indefinite claims as to iheir strength outside of the Georgia capital, three weeks In the south failed to reveal to this writer definite proof of their activity elsewhere.

Speakers harangue gatherings denouncing the employ meat of Negroes whhe white men nr1 idle, make fiery statements on race question and condemn communism at the same time It has begun a campaign to "gef jobs for white men" and claims to have displaced 500 Negroes In At business houses with white lielp. It is maintained that threat of boycott is used to obtain this en 1 when persuasion does not work for white men" campaign is popular with many white working irmn because unemployment among them Is serious at present, In fad in the absence of definite figures iponsible Atlantans are of the opinion that the oercentage of unetr ployment is greater among white than among Negroes Simmons Active The Wnitc Band of Caucasian Crusaders is headed William Jos eph Simmons, organizer of Ku Klux Klan lie began forming it xxm after Dr Hiram Evans fore Simmons to rellqulsh to him con trol of the Klan. It is described by Simmons as essentially and funda mentally an ethic or racial movement of the white man Again quoting Simmons, the organization finds the Negro "has been given full social, political, industrial and economic privileges along with the wiiite man.
