ANTI BLACK HAND SOCIETY.
Honest Italian Americans Unite to
Combat BIackmaiIers and SIayers.

Believing that the Black Hand evil
can be fought better 10y The honest
Italian element than 10y the police
force. a number of Italian citizens and
societies in New York began prepara
tions the other day for the organiZa
ton of society whose sole purpose
shall be to combat the dread black
mailers and murdererS.
A substantial fund is to be raised
probably 100000. it was said-to es-
tablish some system Of stopping the
outrages and protecting law abiding
Italians. whether rich or poor COM
mittee of fifty prominent men was ap-
pointed to look into ways and means %
getting to work. and it Is expected thar
within few weeks the anti Black
Hand society will have a membership
of thousands.
A meeting was held at the office of
Gerardo Luisi at 81 Nassau street. 1t
was not publicly announced, nor We're
the names of those present made pub.
lie afterward There was method in
this-the attendants might receive mes
sages from the Black Hand were their
identity known.
But it was a representative as well
as determined band that met. At least
twelve Of the men present had been
threatened by the Black Hand and
every one had had personal dealings
In some way with the organization.
A considerable sum of money was
pledged on the spot, and more will be
forthcoming.
After the temporary organization
was effected it was decided that not
only would the new society try to pre-
vent the Black Hand outrages. but it
would also relieve the Sufferings and
help in a business way those who
meet with personal or business dam
age from the blackmailers in the fu-
ture.
While this feature was not announc-
ed, it was said that great system of
espionage would be inaugurated. Hon
est Italians will be emf loyed as de-
tectives. They will learn of prospec-
tive bomb throwingS or attempts at
money levying and will be ready for
the murderers and blackmaiers when
they attempt to carry ont their threats.
The new society purposes to work
entirely independently of the police
I There IS a force of Italian detectives
at headquarters in New York, but 1t is
said their efforts are practically use
less because their number is small
and every Black Hand member in town
knows them whenever he sees one of
+ them.
1t was estimated recently that at
| least S1.0O0.000 worth of damage had
been done by the Black Hand in New
York city and that the deaths which
might properly be laid at its door run
into the hundreds.

indicated. You will doubtless also
find it necessary to suggest means for
bringing about the redirection or bet

training of children for life on the

tural departments must ultimately
join with the various farmers and
agricultural organizations in the effort
to secure greater efficiency and at

That the appointment Of commits
sion to investigate by President RoOse.
welt marks an epoch in the history of
the country and also inaugurates one
of the presidents greatest policies is
the opinion of Clifford Pinchot, chief Of
the forest service.
"The presidents appointment of this
commission" he said, marks the In
auguration of the third Of his great
policies, the central idea of which is
to see to it that we have not only bet
ter crops, but also better happier. more
contented and more efficient men and
women on the farm. Farm life ought
to be made so profitable and attractive
that the farmers boys and girls will
be ambitious to spend their lives ON
the farm"
Henry Wallace, named by President
Roosevelt to serve on commission to
Investigate farming conditions in the
United States. is heartily In sympathy
with the investigation.
1.-THE farmers of America" he said,
constitute the most important class of
American citizens They are the origi-
nal producers, and everything that per-
tains to farming is Of vital importance
to the future welfare and prosperity Of
the country. 1t is from this great
farming class that leaders in indus
trial, financial and political walks arise.
They are the basis of our national
progress. Everything that can be done
for their welfare is for the future up
building Of America"
