Negroes Planned
General Slaughter
Of Whites Today

HELENA, ARK, Oct. 5.-That or
ganized negroes of southern Phillips
county, of which this city is the seat
of government, had planned a general
slaughter of white people in the To-
cality tomorrow, was definitely re-
vealed here today by authorized in
vestigators of the past weeks dis
turbances in that section.
According to these authorities, the
plot included widespread uprising in
the event certain demands were not
met. With October 9Th set as the
day for the uprising, negro prisoners
are said to have confessed each mem
ber of the organization at specified
places was to have picked bale of
cotton by that date, take the cotton
to certain prominent land owners,
plantation managers and merchants,
and demand settlement. The con-
fessions, as announced, made it ap-
pear to the investigators that without
further ado following this demand,
the blacks were to shoot down all
whites in sight. A list of q names,
admitted to represent the men to
whom the demand would be present
ed, is in the hands of the investigat-
ing committee.
Killing of these 81, the prisoners
said, was to be the signal for all men,
bers of the organization to attack the
white population. An extensive cour-
ier system was explained in the evi-
dence providing for messengers who
were kknown to the negroes as paul
Reveres." These couriers had been
duly appointed to ride into all parts
of the territory, according to the tes-
timony, and summon members to
arms. The organization concerned
was declared to be the local lodge of
the Progressive Farmers and House
hold Union of America, confscated
literature of which designated Wash
ington, D. c., as national headquar-
ters, with state offices at Winchester,
Arkansas.

Five Negroes In
Hands of Mob

WASHINGTON, GA, Oct. Gone
negro was shot to death last night,
two others were whipped and five
were reported as being held by a
mob that since daybreak yesterday
morning has been securing the swamp
and canebrakes of Lincoln county for
Jack Gordon, a negro, who shot and
killed Red Freeman, a deputy sheriff,
and wounded a citizen who attempted
to aid the deputy. Members of the
mob are reported as intent upon
lynching the negroes before morning.
The negro who was shot and killed
and the two who were whipped by
the mob were said to have made
boastful remarks regarding the kill
Ing of the deputy sheriff. The five
reported held are said to have been
captured near the scene of the kill
ing. Members of the mob said they
would be held until Gordon, who was
captured late yesterday and placed in
jail here, could be taken with them
to the scene of Freeman's death.
More than thousand persons packed
the courthouse square here last night
demanding that Gordon be turned
over to them. Extra guards were on
duty at the Jail.

New York Official
Wars on Diseased
Food Handlers

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. UNITED
Press. If the waiter sticks his
thumb in the soup, send it back-it
may be infected. Furthermore, peo-
pie who have diseases have no place
in the food business, declares DR..
Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner of
Health for New York City, who advo-
Gates a national law requiring wait
ers, workers in packing houses, gro
GERS and all others who handle feed,
to undergo a strict medical examina-
tion before they are allowed to work
with food
Commissioner Copeland has al
ready put such regulation in effect
in New York City, where every wait
er or grocer must be examined. He
must show his card, issued by the city
physician who makes the examina-
ton, whenever asked to do so.
''No food should be touched by any
person who has not been examined
and found free of disease" Commits
sioner Copeland told the United Press,
"In this connection, l cannot empha-
size too much the Importance of clean
hands. Every board of health should
see that stores and restaurants are
amply equipped with toilets and wash
rooms.
Every food handler in New York
has to pass examination by the board
of health. He is given a card. If he
has tuberculosis, any contagious dis
ease, or skin or blood disease, which
can easily be spread by foods, he can
not work in a restaurant. This re-
lates to walters, bakers, butchers and
all others working where food is ham
died."
Dr. Copeland said that statistics
show an enormous decrease in tu-
berculpsiS, and other diseases, since
the law regarding food handlers was
put into effect in New York City. He
strongly advocated a similar national
law.
1.-THE colon bacillus" which causes
diarrhoea, is a disease that is most
readily spread by unclean walters,
said DR.. Copeland, while "other germs
more serious, such as syphilis and
ringworm, are almost equally dan
gerous, since they so quickly affect
the stomach.
Hand contamination is coming to
be looked upon as the most danger
Gus that health officials have to COM
bat," declared DR.. Copeland. 1T is
certainly the duty of every establish
ment handling food to exclude from
employment anyone having diseases"

President Continues Negroes Burned5h Game On
Uncle Sam Again
On Trail of Trusts

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Omitted
Press. with the reconvening of
the Supreme Court today the gov
ernment's big trust-busting campaign
postponed on account of the war was
on in full swing in its final stages.
Seven cases of antitrust prosecu-
tion are before the court for final
decision, and the result of the suits
undoubtedly will have far reaching
effect on the construction the Su-
preme Court puts on the Sherman and
Clayton Antitrust laws, under which
the suits were brought.
All of the cases are near the top
of the docket and will be argued as
soon as a few special cases are dis
posed of. Decisions are expected
early in 1920, if the court does not
take longer than the usual time al
lotted for deliberation after the YER
bal battle of the government and big
business attorneys. The suits were
postponed during the war because the
government felt it could not inter
fere in any way with production of
materials that might be necessary for
the war.
Attorney General Palmer, however,
has now given notice the cases will
be prosecuted vigorously.
Some of the cases represent nearly
nine years of legal battles between
the government and the corporations.
The first case on the new court dock
ct is the United States VS.. the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, while No. is the
government against the Reading Rail
road. These are the celebrated an
thracite coal cases, the railroad lines
being charged with having monop-
oily of the anthracite coal production
and shipments. The government lost
both Of these cases in lower courts.
The noted struggle of the govern
ment against the United States Steel
Corporation, known as the "Steel
Trust" is No. 6 on the docket. Here
again the government is on the de-
fense, having lost in the lower courts.
Cases against the Eastman Kodak
Company and the Associated Bill
Posters follow closely, both of these
being victories for the government so
far, Numbers IL and Ia are the
suits against the American Can Co.,
and the Quaker GOATS Company, both
victories for the corporations so far.
The cases against the Keystone Watch
Company is also near the head of the
docket.
The session of the court opening
today is expected to be one of the
most important in history. Many
puzzling war questions will be up for
settlement besides the trust cases. 1t
is certain that the court will be ask
ed to rule on questions arising from
the present industrial strife and clear
ly define the legal rights of capital
and labor.

Capital, Labor And
Farmers In Session

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. UNITED
Press. Capital, labor and the far
mers today sat down to round ta-
BILE industrial conference to talk
things over"
Out of their talk, President Will
son, who called the conference, hopes
will come means of "bettering the
whole relationship between capital
and labor and putting the whole ques-
tion of wages upon another footing"
More than this, the president is
known to believe, that on the outcome
of the conference today depends in a
great meaiure the security and hap
piness of the United States both in
ternally and internationally.
First, what the conference does
will have an effect on the high cost
of living. If capital and labor can
reach a basis of harmonious action,
the president has made plain, produc-
ton will increase and this will bring
down prices. Furthermore capital
will be ready to undertake new en-
terprises both at home and abroad.
Second, what decision the confer
ence reaches will have determining
effect on whether there is to be a
constant recurrence of strikes that
have followed one another since the
, signing of the armistice. Unless they
do end, we'll informed officials here
believe this country is facing an up
heaval that will shake every nation on
the globe.
Third, out of the conference, the
president hopes, will come the begin
nings of the Democratization of in
dustry, a thing which the president
has declared must come. He has
never explained the phase in detail
but briefly it is taken as meaning
that he believes the workers must
have a larger share in the manage
ment of the enterprises.
Those broadly are the three things
it is hoped to bring from the meeting
that opened today.

The Russian a Child.

When there is a temptation to think of the Russian as subtle or complex, when there is danger of being outfaced by the bright clothes of his modernity. his governments. his music, his paint ing-all his great struggle to express hfmself-it will be well to remember that this Is only the other side of his Overpowering honesty and terrible naivete All the other peoples in the world have become sophisticated. The Russian remains still a child, still hop ing and believing, haunted by shadows and fears. and brave enough and sim pie enough always to confess them.- Ralph J. Block in New York Tribune.
