"1ncendiarism," Is the way Major

advice Of former States Attorney F.

buy guns
Il dissent from the view Of T.. l..
Barnett that one or two guns would
not be too much in Negro households
as protection against violence that
may arise in Chicago" he declared.
ITO say such things is incendiarism. !"
Conditions here are not as they
are In East st. Louis. The great ma
jority tf Negroes here are hard work
ing and are striving. to better their
condition. My impression is chat
many OF the Negroes in East st. Louis
are Of the hoodlum class"
