CODY SCRAPPER

Jamestown, n. d., April 2O.--L.co
Kossick of Moorhcad, Mimi, had a
shade the best of Roy Coguil of Cody,
Wyo., in one Of the most successful
athletic shows ever staged before a
jamestown audience here, last night.
Kossick and Coguil were about as cv-
emily matched as two fighters could be,
although a few of the fans thought
Kossick had a slight advantage.
The tMoorhead scrapper was some
what lighter than his opponent and
more aggressive, but the extra pep
was offset by the handicap in weight.

What Brought About RaceRiots
In East St. Louis Last Week

Grafton which was charged to the de-
sire of politicians to cater to the black
vote.
The cases were cited of four negro
women, notorious as pickpockets and
thieves, who each has been arrested
scores of times. Rarely were they even
locked up, for usually bondsman was
awaiting them when they were taken
to the police station.
A thriving business as professional
bondsman has for years been driven by
several negro saloon keepers and poll
ticians. And in court there is a long
record in connection with these women,
Of acquittals, postponements and de-
lays.
1t began to be muttered about that
sit was too easy for negro to get
out of Jail" Attention was again drawn
to the unsavory negro resorts and bar
rel houses along Broadway, and it was
pointed out that one negro saloon keep
Ell, to whom the city had granted lie

run out of St Louis, and who, as side
line to his saloon, was doing a thriev-
ing business in supplying protection"

Strike Adds to Bitterness.
Into this situation, embittered by the
crimes of negro hold-up men, entered
new factor with the declaration of
strike during the last week of May at
the plant of the Aluminium Ore Com
pany, said to be the largest factory of
the sort in America. 1t was WORKING
night and day on contracts for the
United States Government.
It's skilled white workmen were earn
ing 81 day. According to officials OF
the company the strike was called be-
cause they refused to pay bride OF
$4,000 to a walking delegate, who was
one of the leaders of the men.
The company already employed many
negroes at such common labor as
shoveling ore 1t now placed some ne
groes at the work which the white men
had quit. This gave an opportunity to-
raise the cry that negroes were being
imported as strikebreakers. 1t is true
the strike gradually petered out. the
men regulating their leaders and

%. A delegation of about 800 union
men marched to the City Hall to ap-
neal to the authorities to prevent the
importation of any more negroes.
Among them were many of the Alum
mum Ore Company strikers. They
took possession of an auditorium, and
some of the leaders made speeches ad-
vising that in case the authorities took
no action. they should resort to mob
law.
Mayor Mollman promised that he
would do everything in his power TO
persuade employers against recruiting
regso labor, and the meeting dispersed.
They had not been gone thirty minutes
when a mob appeared at the police sta
ton and demanded negro who had
lust been arrested be delivered to them.
He was arrested on the charge of try
ing to rob two white girls at Tenth
street and Missouri avenue. At about
the same time, two youths had been
robbed at Thirteenth street and Gaty
avenue, by a negro, and one of them,
who resisted, was shot in the hip!
