Migrants TO the Chain Gang.

The industrial people of Jack
son, Miss, have requested the city
council to adopt measures that will
put all Migrants and loafers TO
work, or else assign them 10 the
chain gang. The demand has arts
en- because hordes Of loafing town
negroes refuse to work in the fac
tories, mills, and brick yards. and
yet have no visible means of sup
port. The plan that has been
suggested is to instruct each pc
liceman to demand of every loaf
ing negro he meets whether or not
he has work, where, of what char
acter, and for whom. LII he can
prove up his occupation, all well
and good, but if he says that he j.
not working, then it il To be the
duty of the officer 10 tell him
where he can get work and to give
him ten hours To make application
for it. If he does not do so, then
the officer is to arrest him and put
him on the chain gang
The plan presents several strong
points, and ii it were adopted by
every town in Mississippi, it would
do much towards minimizing vag-
rsncy, idleness and crime and
wouldmaterially augment produc-
ton ofwealth in the State.
