Special To The Whip

Pine Bluff, Ark, Feb. 1Oth.-This
city for about two hours was scene
of battle and bloodshed. What added
to the intense excitement was the fact
that the battle came from an unex-
pected source. George vicks, a highly
respected colored citizen resented an
unwarranted and uncalled-for insult
from a white farmer. A quarrel en-
sued. City Detective Lynn demanded
that the colored citizen apologize to
the farmer for talking back to him
and for refusing to take off his hat
while doing so.
The detective, intoxicated with
authority and arrogance attempted to
teach the colored man lesson by
putting him under arrest The colored
man refused and fight followed, both
men reaching for their guns. The

Attorney.General Palmer, in his

Committee, correctly traced the dead.
line of free speech.
The constitutional guarantee does
not protect one who, by word or i'm.
rlication, urges or ineites resort to
physical force or violence to over
throw our democratic institutions.
Free speech is flower of democratic
freedom. 1t blooms from no other soil.
Destroy democracy and there is and
can be no free speech. A rule of force
means the application of gag.
So, 20 defend Gree speech it is nee.
essary to deny to any one the privi-
lege of attacking its roots. Any one
wno upholds the doctrine that it is
permissible in free country to ad-
voeate the establishment of a regime
OF force in an enemy to, not friend
of, free speech.
This country, as the Attorney Gen.
eral says, has had its revolution. Those
who come to our shore accept the re.
suits of this revolution are immutable

wrote-and one is that government
must rest on consent, and not fear.

tendency of the colored worker in the
direction of belief in unionism might
be interpreted as ungratefulness to

LABOR ORGANIZER
SAYS RACE MUST
! SPURN CHARITY
BY Andrew Holmes Sec 'y-treas. Local
20 Stockyards Labor Council.

The task of the men and women
who advocate unionism among the CO.
lored workers of today is far from
being simple one to successfully per
ties encountered in the organization of
AL races and nationalities, but, in the
main, this difference seems to assert
itself ON the racial phase of the sub
ject. There exists among workers of
the white race, generally, regardless
of nationality, an opinion that a
worker should be member of a union
wherever practicable; such is the
opposite opinion among the colored
people, as a rule this opposition has to
be overcome, a favorable sentiment
has to be created, in most instances,
before the colored workers can be
organized with any degree of success.
Let us discuss a few commonplace
reasons why the colored workers do
lot take an enthusiastic interest in
labor unions and also few pointed
reasons why they should give the
matter more serious consideration.
Why the colored workers are not in
clined to unions when first
approached.
l. Because of Traditional Ideas.
Frequently we encounter those per-
sons who seem to profess no belief in
the principle that "All men are crea-
ted equal.' We conclude that this
may be due to inherited ante bellum-
traits, engendered into the slaves who
regarded the "Aristocracy" of the
white Gace as supernatural beings,
and who regarded the poorer class of
whites as not much better than they
(the slaves) themselves. Such persons
of today present such arguments as
these: '"rhe rich man has everything
and all the power. There is no need
of resisting his authority. We get more
consideration by trying to merit his
approval of our acts. He does not like
the union so we must not invoke his
displeasure, we must disregard the
appeals of the White workers for they
are as powerless as we. Money always
did rule, and always will" and so
on.
?. Because of belief of employers
Interest in eolored man s welfare
(also traditionaD.
The organizer also encounters those
persons who point with great pride
TO the fact that some employers have
made members of the race beneficial
ries of charitable donations. They
point out that many of the races edu-
eational institutions were donated,
and often times supported and main
taihed by capitalists who during some
time were great employers of labor,
