White Man Gives His Life Try
ing to Rescue a Negro.

In these days, when the negro
seems more alienated from his white
neighbor than ever before and when
the white man considers his black
neighbor a greater problem than ever
before, it is reassuring to know that
there are thousands of blacks who,
after all realize that the white man
has been and is still their friend and
that there are thousands of whites
who will go their limit not to disap-
point this trust and confidence. Far
and wide the reports of lynchings
and race riots are being published.
Not much is being said of the multi
tudinous instances where the whites
and blacks are getting along mutual
lily helpful to one another. In Ala
bama there have been a few cases of
depraved negroes calling down upon
themselves the vengeance of lawless
whites; but when the average negro
is in trouble he will call upon his
white friend, and he will not call in
vain. These remarks are brought
forth by the touching story that
comes from near Opelika, Ala. On
October Is, a negro was cleaning a
we'll on the farm of a prominent
planter, James Dudley by name.
There was poisonous gas at the bot
tom of the well and the negro, breath
ing its fumes, cried for help. Mr..
Dudley did not hesitate, but went
down at once hoping to save the la
borer. He himself was overcome and
lost his own life in the attempt to res
cue the negro. This brave mans
death will not have been in vain if
the general public will but receive
the truth that it teaches-that the ne
gro looks to the Southern white man
for help, and that when he deserves
it the white man will go his limit in
an effort to befriend him.-Exchange

radical literature.

raQlcal lLeraCure.
The Union Of Russian Workers
first came into public notice during
the senate investigation of the street
strike, Jacob Margolis, counsel for
the strike committee, testifying that
he sought the aid of the Russians in
the strike.
Attorney General Palmer describ-
ed the Russian union as "even more
radical than the Bolsheviki," and de-
clared it's purpose was to amalgamate
all of the Russian groups in the
United States into one organization.
Mass action, including armed action
in time of "great national strife" is
the principal of the union, he said.
While discussing the activities of
the union at length, from its first con
vention at Detroit in 1914, at which
members from Canada were present,
down to the present time, depart
ment officials would not go into de-
tails of the raid. They refused to ans
wer any questions as to that in Wash
ington further than to admit that
nine men had been arrested and that
of the five released upon proving
their American citizenship, one
would be rearrested.
To what extent the Russians were
organized in Washington could not
be learned. The men arrested were
held by federal agents and were sub
jected to lengthy cross examination.
1t was understood that those held
would be sent to Ellis Island, New
York, where deportation proceedings
for all those arrested will be con-
Quoted.
With the announcement cf the ma
tionwide raids, Chairman johnson of
the house immigration committee
would begin an investigation during
the next few weeks of the alleged de-
lays in the deportation of aliens now
lin custody. The committee also will
seek to determine whether any addi-
tional legislation to deal with radical
aliens is necessary.

Many Rounded up in Radical
Raid.

Washington, Nov. S.-Inaugurat-
ing a general warfare on radical
aliens advocating forcible overthrow
of the government, agents of the de-
partment of justice assisted the i'm
migration bureau, rounded up nearly
500 men and women in raids last
night and today in more than score
of cities, including the national cap
ital itself.
More than 200 of those arrested
will be held for deportation and it
was announced at the department of
justice that it was the intention to
request the department of labor to
to deport all aliens found to be en-
gagged in radical activities.
Primarily the raids which occurred
in practically every industrial centre
in the East and Middle West were
aimed at the union of Russian work
ers, an organization which Attorney
General Palmer disclosed was form
ed in New York IL years ago by a
group of men, at the head of which
was William Szatow, now chief of
the Bolshevik police at Petrograd.
In their raids in Newark ard Tren-
ton, N. j., the federal agents seized
materials for making bombs and a
complete counterfeiting outfit to-
gether with considerable counterfeit
money. In practically every raid the
officers found great quantities of
