Over certain sections of the South,
during the past week, 6 or color
ed men and women were mobbed
and put to death without "a trial,
and for mere suspicious. This af-
fair has been tolerated by the peo-
pie of this government about as
long as the coIored people can
stand it. We sincerely believe il
is aimed for National Intervention.
If the Government Of the u. 5.
does not do something to remedy
this condition, the 100000 Ne
groes will be found seeking redress
from a source which is liable to
embarass the government of the
u. S.
