JUDGES :.
Of II. S. Supreme Court and
Attorney General Arrain-
ged by Editor

Chattanooga Tenn, Feb. 2.--An Of
ficial in contempt Of Chattanooga is
the caption of three column measure
heavy black-faced editorial, in a re-
cent issue Of the chattanooga News,
which is edited by J. G. Rice.
This editorial is direct slap at the
Supreme Court Of the United States
and Attocney-G General Bonaparte, and
is probably the most caustic criticism
ever written concerning such high Of
ficials. The editorial was inspired by
a motion to have the testimony Of the
Government witnesses In the contempt
cases growing out of the lynching of
Ed Johnson, taken in Washington, on
account of the feeling here, which
the Government attorneys declared
would prevent a calm and dispassion-
ate examination. Says the editorial:
IF there is any good reason why
the Acknowledgement of the United
States should not be called to account
for contempt Of this community, the
Chattanooga News would like for
some advocate Of black heels on
white necks to point it out"
After declaring that no witness
has eyer been harmed here and that
none would be, unless some of Lnem
march forth, under cover of darkness
and commit a. crime similar to that
for which Ed Johnson was lynched,"
the News says that 'Tf the Attorney
General has confidential, information
that his witnesses will be in danger of
their lives IL they testify in Chata-
nooga, he has been imposed upon by
some deliberate, conscienceess and
malicious liar" --...---~ .,
The News submits that "even so
so high and mighty person as the
Acknowledgement Of the United States
has no just cause to hold this commu-
nifty up in the contempt or the world,
and in effect, publish it abroad as
]awless and firmly set against the en-
fOrComeDt of law"

Slipping Away

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 2.-The fact
that in four, days SO more Japs have
places as servants in the best homes
in San Antonio, and that women in
all parts of the city are clamoring for
servants, has further aroused the
Negroes of this city to the danger Of
the Jap invasion and the likelihood
Of their losing positions. A great mass
meeting TO- tahe some action. has been
called for ST.. Paul M. e. Church.
The whole matter will be discussed
AS the Negroes we're first to ieel the
effects of the Jap invasion, they are
the first to take action. Those who
have been replaced by Japs are greatly
aroused. There is no other topic of
discussion among them. This is es-
pecially true of the Negro men, many
Of whom have been wearing good
clothes and taking a prominent part
in local politics, while their wives and
daughters support the family by work
ing as cooks and house girls.
The call says the purpose is to
consider Questions Of the greatest i'm
portance to the peace and prosperity
of the community. No woman who Is
at the head Of family, no woman
who works for a living, no woman
who is active in church, lodge,
educational or social matters can af-
ford to be absent from this meeting"
