Race Riots Caused
By Big Exp|oiters

MASSES OF BLACKS IMPORTED
They have special agents touring
the South to solicit the negroes un-
der false pretenses and making up
trains for shipment to northern
cities. Then they shift these train
loads of ignorant negro workers to
any place where white labor is MAX
ing fight for better wages and
working conditions.
Testimony brought out in the in
vestigation of the East St. Louis
riots showed that trainload after
trainload of negroes had been dumped
into that city to such an extent that a
large part of them were starving.
Their want was consequently caus-
ing them to commit crimes and to
work for anything any employer
would offer. Politicians representing
the employers in that city looked to
the negroes for votes to maintain
their system. Little wonder, there
fore, that the white workmen in that
city broke out into violent blind rage
and hate.
Protests of northern workers
against these tactics were held down
by the false loyalty and support the
wa]" propaganda of the special n
terests and We are now reaping the
results of the failure to right lnjUS-
tice in time. Wherever an inferior
race has been so used against native
workmen, the same results have oc-
Cured. England has had riots over
the Chinese and African negroes she
imported during the war and has
failed to send back.
AS contributing causes to the riots
we might also mention the state Of
mind OF the negro soldier who has
returned from the war and is CALLED
by the indignities thrust upon him
and the desire of some city interests
to create diversion from the agita-
tion over the cost Of living.
The negro must be educated. He
must be organized into unions that
he may take his proper place be-
side and not hostile to white workers.
Criminal activities Of the politicians
and big employers should be ex-
posed and punished. Let US have race
distinction so far as there is a feel
ing on either side that they are
needed, but end the determinations
which place the negro in a helpless
position under the big exploiters. The
negro should, like the white, be able
to secure what he produces.

Politicians and Employers Use Negro
Against White Workers of Our
Cities.
(By A. B. Gilbert)

Many cities of the East, and par
tcularly our national capital, have
had terrible race riots Now the evil
has spread to Chicago. About two
years ago East st. Louis and several
other centers experienced the same
violations of law and order. Chi
cago now registers a total of not less
than 80 dead and hundreds, if not
thousands, of injured.
What are the causes of such out
breaks in a country which above all
others claims to be a land Of law and
order, Why do we add to the ma
tional crime Of lynching, fighting be-
tween races which compares with old
Russia's pogroms against the Jews? :?
Two great factors stand out as
having special Significance:
l. The exploitation of the negro
by employers and politicians to the
detIiment of the common white 1eO-
pie.
2. The fact that we have content
ed ourselves with race distrimina
tions instead of merely race differ
ences. The work Of freeing the negro
was Only half done by the Civil war
The freeing Of the negro from slaV-
cry should have been followed by the
guarantee Of equal opportunity.
NFGkO Hal i FREE
How the politicians and employers
can take advantage Of che half free
negro is not hard to understand. III
our large cities the negroes live IL a
certain section of the ely and tia
politicians organize th"n to tac};
special privilege with tAe: votes II
return for minor political favcls.
City reformers and working class
candidates in general must, there
fore, always meet big, ignorant
boss-controlled negro vote. This pro-
duces much i'll feeling.
But the big thing which immedl-
ately causes the outbreaks is the use
of the negro to beat down the white
workman's wages. The negro work
men, especially those in the South
are practically unorganized. Then
standard of living is decidedly below
that of the northern whites. Anc
northern employers have been bring
ing them in in ruthless fashion since
| the war started.

A STREAK OF ECON
OMY HAS STRUCK
THE COUNTY CON-
MTSSIONERS

At the last session of the Commits
sioners an order was issued cutting
down the Office force Of the Auditors
Office to three, including the auditor.
No doubt they have been inOculat-
ed with the economy serum, and if it
takes good, at the next meeting the
following changes will take place:
Headquarters of AutOcratic Bureau
Order No. 2-County Clerk and Re
cOrder Your force is hereby reduced
to five (5) and if necessary to finish
the work you will work 20 hours out
of the "a including Sundays.
Order No. 3-County Treasurer
Reduced to one, which we consider
more than sufficient, but as the law
saws there must be a treasurer, we
will for the present consider the law.
Order No 4. AS we are about to
take charge of the morals and deport-
men of the people in Sheridan coun-
ty, we believe the duties of the sher-
| iff will be needless, but the law says
we must have a sheriff and so we
will leave you in office.
Weifurther wish to state that we
are seriously considering reducing
our per diem to $3.50 per day and de-
nate the balance to the poor fund, and
while using our own automobiles to
conform to the law and only charge
10c per mile, and render vouchers for
hotel and meal charges as the law
provides, and only when we are ac-
tually inspecting work being done IN
der contract: but as this is weighty
problem, and needs serious consider
alton, It is laid over until some future
date. but the orders issued to take
effect Immediately.

County Auditor Opposes
Classification Contracts

ly without bids, and without calling
for bids, although there We're letters
on file in the Clerk & Recorders Office
from engineers inquiring when the
contract would be advertised and the
bids received.
This act on the part of the Board
of County Commissioners is another
demonstration of the absolute deter
mination on the part of the Board OF
County Commissioners to ignore the
spirit of the law and the rules of
business in carrying on the county
business and is a transaction that the
! taxpayers cannot afford to allow to
stand without protest.
The County Commissioners of
Sheridan County again stand indict-
| ed for misconduct of the most flag
rant kind, and it is not too much to
believe that back of this contract is
another tale of bribery and fixing if
it can only be gotten at.
1t is enough to say that all of the
people who have been scrapped by
the people of Sheridan county viii
have a job on this classification work,
and from all appearances this very
employment was a part of the con-
sideration for the letting of this
contract without the use of c0mpeti-
tive bids. and it is not beyond the
t veil Of common sense to suspect thai
there were other considerations that
! had influences in the letting of this
contract.
It is no more than fair to report
that at the time this transaction took
place, Assistant County Attorney
Cudhie sit right beside the County
Commissioners, as he always does
when they are in session, and ac-
cording to what we are informed by
one member of the county board, he
not only did not object to this flag
rant violation to business decency,
but that he advised the letting of the
contract in this manner and without
bids.
It has gotten to be deep seated
conviction among the taxpayers of
this county, that Assistant County
Attorney Cudhie is a true and loyal
member of the old gang, and that he
is their chief advisor and constant
aid and abbettor. 1t is a known fact
that his office is their constant rem
devious, and it has come to be gener-
ally understood that his particular
function is to block any and all ac-
