Major jackson made the speech of
his life which set the members of the
house and the many visitors on fire,
causing them to stand up on their feet
all the time he was speaking, winning
decisive victory over those who were
attempting to defeat the bill. In
closing he maintained that the moving
picture interests were behind the effort
to kill his bill. The measure prohibits
the exhibition Of any film that shows
a lynehing or unlawful hanging and is
based on the theory that presentation
Of such pictures tends to race hatred
and to rioting.
Calls Bm Too Sweeping.
Representative Louis J. Pierson of
Wilmette led the fight against the bill.
He made an extended argument, aIleg-
ing that the bill as drawn affects much
more than the Negro rae difficulties.
He eontended in his speech that the bill
if it becomes law prohibits in a re-
ligious way the use of any reproduction
of the erueifxion in any church, any
film which would raise the racial issue
in any form, and in effect would put
the movies out of business.
