Whitecaps Of Pike.

The whitecaps in Pike county are
still going on with their lawlessness
despite the many efforts of the gov
crnor and other authorities TO ex-
terminate them. A few nights ago
a band of whtecaps visited the little
town Of Sartinyille and riddled tho
houses of several negroes with buck
shot and warned the occupants to
leave. Many negroes have already
left that section of the State and if
these outrages are not stopped soon.
all of them will be compelled to 90.
Much trouble is due to the fact that
some of the negroes are prospering
and acting like they own the whole
country.

Kansas City to look after the labor
conditions there, He declared the ac
tlon of Mayor Harrison in ousting the
strike-breakers from the housing
rooms in the packing plants meant
quicker success TO the strikers.

The Hardest Blow Yet.
"The mayors action in declaring the

Donnelly. "'rhe packers will have ne

that the demand for this material has
increased rapidly the last few years,
the importations into the United States
