cept Profit Island) are located on
lines beyond the Southern Pacific
whereby a minimum charge OF 70
cents per cubic yard is assessed IN
addition to the rate of the Southern
Pacific. 1t will be noted that this
excess charge of 70 cents per cubic
yard alone amounts to a difference
of $4,000 per mile of road.
Fifth, in the matter of actual
transportation of material to points
on the Southern Pacific from Nor
gan City, both loaded and empty
cars never leave control of Southern
Pacific whereby it can expedite car
movement; whereas in gravel service
Except Profit Island) every car
both loaded and empty must be han
died through junction with other
railroads, always entailing delay and
frequently resulting in diversion of
cars to other territory, whereby grav-
Ell movement is delayed until other
cars can be secured to replace those
diverted. Wherefore string of cars
assigned to Morgan City shell ser
vice can be kept moving back and
forth on the Southern Pacific line
without interruption and the advan-
tage is seH-evident, particularly when
cars are scarce as it appears they will
be during the next six months.
Another very important matter is
the delivery of road material by
water to territory isolated from rail-
roads entailing a long and expensive
wagon haul from railroads. Again
except from Profit Island all gravel
must be loaded into cars and hauled
a considerable distance and then
transferred to barges, whereas shell
at Morgan City can be lifted by crane
from big barge to light draft barge
thus eliminating any rail haul
This matter is having the attention

every reason to encourage and sup

heart of every man who boasts of a
strain of Negro blood in his veins
Eacely the sanctity of our womanhood.
II We had nor men who would be
willing to give up all for a principle
The degraded white man would think
twice before offering u ONE in
suits, much less than brutal treatment,
in public places. We suffer embar-
rassment. humiliation, and are tramp
led upon by other sbecause many OF
cur men are towards and are known
to be such by those who seek to take
advantage of us. They talk glibly
when there is no test being made of
their valor, but when the trying hour
comes, the ordeal, many sit with lips
quences, or worse still, make a speedy
mute, paralyzed with fear of conse-
escape from the scene of action.
One Of the most valuable principles
instilled into men under military
training, so I heard one lieutenant
say, is action. The men are taught

do something, even though it turns u
to be the wrong thing. Indecision is
to be avoided, Would that our men
would apply such principles to their
daily life! If they did, the paths of
those who seek to trample us beneath
their feet would be strewn with any
thing else but flowers.
The question arises in my mind as
to just what a man of the cowardly
type would do If he should see his
wife, his w mother, or his own sis
ter being abused by some friend who
sought to degrade her. If he possess
ed the least spark Of that God-given
principle called manhood, II he could
boast of the sort of backbone that

OF animals, every n knows that the
aggressor would necessarily have to
answer TO him for his crime. 1t seems
almost unbelievable that so many of
u men went willingly to defend the
women of Belgium and France against
the outTages and brutal attacks of the
Hun, and for the preservation of
Democracy and then seek to evade the
responsibility of defending their own
wives, mothers and sisters against the
Hun" who lives and thrives at our
very door.
II we do not look to our own men
for protection, for defense, from
whence, and from what source must
our protection come? From God?
But, God does not work in this parti-
cular way. And. any man who waits
for God or another to do for him that
which he has brain and Drawn to do
for himself should expect nothing else
but the worst of the bargain.
II our men seek to establish an alibi
by saying that they have families to
whom they must give first thought,
let them take John Phillips of New
port, Ark, as a noble example OF Ne
gro manhood. 1t is because they are
fathers that they should feel more
heavily the responsibility which rests
upon their shoulders, for the Negro
boys of today must defend and protect
the Negro girls and women of tomor-
row If these hOVS have in their
homes fathers of noble character and
undaunted principles we may rest as
sured that this part of the Negro
problem dealing with the preservation
and the sanctity of Negro womanhood
will amply take care of itself.

RICHMOND MURDER MYSTERY
Police Think Body -Washed.-Down
Stream-May be Nashville

Richmond, Va, Jan. THAT the
unidentified corpse of the young wo-
man found lodged among tree roots
on the north bank of the James
River a quarter Of mile above the
Westham bridge, 5 miles west of the
city limits was perhaps thrown int2
the stream some distance up the
river, and swept down by the high
water last week, is a theory to
which attention was being given by
the investigating authorities. In the
opinion of Coroner~Bright, of Henri
co, this is an entirely plausible theo-
nv, especially in view of the fact that
the body was lying obliquely against
the bank, with only the tips of the
feet in the water, and the head seve-
raj feet above.
There was evidence, he said, that
the water had receded fully3 or 4
feet since the body became entangled
in the tree roots.
The police, after examination. of
the body, stated that one side of the
face was crushed, the nose broken
and one tooth knocked out. Around
the woman's waist was wire to
which it is believed weight was
attached when the body was deposit
ed in the river. Officials believe the
woman had been slain a month OF

relief news Of the announcement in In

tives Of the United Mine Workers of
America had voted to call off the ma
tiunwido strike of soft-coal miners, as
directed by Federal Judge Anderson.
While Withholding the comment

to the course Of the miners, the gov
ernment officials, particularly those
connected with AttorneyGeneral PAT
mers office, showed plainly relax
alton from the Srain under which
they had been laboring for the last
few days. The attitude of the Amorl-
can Federation OF Labor and labor
leaders generally toward the strike and
the injunction proceedings had created
some doubt, it was said, as to what step
the mine workers would take.
