ENGLISH BISHOP: SPEAKS
FOR INDUSTRIAL CLASSES
Bishop Gore Of Birmingham, England,
Recently Expressed Himself
As Follows:

We ara passing through a great
crisis. The whole Industrial and social
fabric is In process of change. The
movement that is becoming dominant
is what is more or less vaguely called
socialist At the heart OF it is a great
cry for justice; for more equitable
division Of the proceeds Of industry;
for better life for the masses OF the
people: for a greater regard for each
individual life. and especially for those
who are too weak to help themselves!
Now this is movement with which
the Christian church ought to have at
heart the profoundest sympathy. The
Bible is full Of the cry for Justice, full
Of resentment at the oppression Of the
poor. It cannot tolerate the exploit
Ing Of the weak by the strong. It is
indisputably, in the age long struggle
Of rich and Ipoor, on the side Of the
poor. S #s

s ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 6.-Mixed with
the stories Of convicts being whipped
to death, which are today told the
legislative committee investigating the
Georgia lease system, were stories OF
state officials using their connection
with the lease system to get money.
First, It was learned from the testi-
money Of Louis p. Yancey, a son Of
Secretary Goodloe Yancey Of the
prison commission, that Chief War
den Jake Moore and Chief Lessee w.
B. Han1by had gone into business
partnership shortly after Handy had
secured 500 convicts by sending his
bid into the prison commissions office,
where Jake Moore was high author
ity. Moore has been receiving only
$1,000 q year from the state, but he
has managed to become wealthy in a
few years. e. s* ., II
There was also evidence duplicating
Chairman Turner Of the prison COM
mission and w s. West, former pres
fdent OF the state senate, in deal
in convicts by which they made. big
money. The grating even extended to
the negro porter OF the prison COM
mission. A witness swore that the
porter had made $4,000 by selling tips
regarding bids for convicts to James
W. English, Jr., Of Atlanta, who is a
banker and a large lessee of convicts.
There was also evidence that State
Senator Brock had withheld a report
by a legislative sub committee, expos
