1t was six o'clock and little Miss
Castle was tired But she tucked her
blue veil around her hat and started
down the street lined with tall tene-

Miss Castle, unnoticed, edged her
way through the crowd. and passing
down narrow, dark hallway emerged
into a small rear court covered with
tagging. a pump in the center and the
atmosphere tainted with unsanitary
odors, climbed up one fight in the rear
tenement and knocked at the AXlers
door.
Lilly AKler was sitting IN a neap IN
the middle OF the floor when the knock
came.

Did you say come in?" Miss Castle
asked softly as she slowly opened the
door. Il am Miss Castle. and your

A libel was filed in the United States

Labor Leaders Gain Courage From
Government Investigation.
Tampa. Fla, Oct. 1S.-The labor sit
uation, thought to have been practi-
cally settled early last week. is more
serious to-day than at any time in the
past few weeks. United States Dis
trict Attorney Stripping is here inves-
tigating the recent deportation of strike
leaders. and this fact has emboldened
the members of Resistencia Union men
who are yet out, and they have been
working hard to-day among those at
work, with the result that ii is be-
lieved a great many will refuse to re-
turn to work tomorrow They use the
argument that the government having
ordered an investigation of the depor-
tations there will be no further similar
actions on the part of the citizens.
Several union leaders who have been in
hiding since August appeared to-day in
the streets.

packing it can be sold as mattress fill,

A GOOD ELL

Representative John c. Jones' anti
lynching bill, introduced at the begin
ming of the session Of the present Leg
islature, favorably recommended to the
house by the Judiciary committee, was
called for first reading recently. Sc. =. !, 7
Mr.. Jones is the only Afro American
member Of the Legislature and his bill
followed the large number of lynch
ings that took place in the country
about the first of the year. Itsprovides
that prisoner accused of a crime or
suspected of any offense who shall be
injured by a mob shall have the right
to sue the county in which it is com
nlitted and recover damages not to ex-
coed $4,000. The death of person by
lynching shall lay the county liable to
a suit for damages for from $4,000 to
$4,000 d. r.
In the event of a mob taking a vic
tim from one county to another and
killing or torturing him, the county in
which the act is committed man re-
cover damages from the. county from
which the mob came, in addition to the
damages allowed the victim or his le-
gal representatives. Representative
Jones intends to bend all his energies
toward securing the passage Of his bill.
/. Every fair-minded man in the pres
ent Legislature, regardless of politics,
should give Mr.. Jones' bill all neces-
sary aid-it should become a law at
once, and the barbarism Of lynching
should be finally stopped in Illinois.
, All praise to Mr.. Jones in his efforts in
behalf of good government.
