THE DOCK WORKERS STRIKE.

is worthy of note that in the dock workers strike at
Galveston many Negroes implicated for the that white
aboers in attempting to make their organization more power
full obtaining demands for higher wages
have fit to include Negro organizations part of the
Central body.
That these Negroes do not form controlling portion of
the central body shown by the following statements:
Nineteen local unions of ongsho ~ Gher homes in
Galveston Of these about thirteen composed of white
and six of Negroes OF the total membership of onghoremen in
Galveston about 80 per Negroes The Marine Council
which representative body of the marine labor unions
composed of delegates elected from the locals consists of
about fifty and considerable but minority of this body
lis Of Negroes About 500 Of the 14OO strikers blacks
Before the strike here the Mallory docks worked Negro
ongshoremen The Morgan docks worked white Under
strike conditions the Mallory docks employ white labor and the
Morgan docks are being manned by black labor.
The strike has affected Texas vitality and while far has
been peaceabe regret it's occurrence since is hndrance
the financial welfare of our particular district
And it is worth while to note that in this particular
stance while the potency of Negro labor real factor
dusa conditions being felt his unions do not represent
IA majority to think.
is hardly possible the determination of the means
used to obtain higher for ongshoemen in Galveston
left to the discretion of the six Negro aor unions in that city
Whether not they decided in its favor is of little consequence
since realize that their vote represented the minority of those
involved In the face of the facts presented cannot
in fairness hold them bameworhy for the condition of Texas
shipping which maintains.
It is true that certain percentage of the striking long
shoremen Negroes But it is not true that those who
stitute the majority Negroes.
One in commenting the suation has said 1t is
conceivable that few Negroes should be permitted to
honest business and the high cost Of living
to the state whole?
The carpetbag rule this state sterny repudated
Now this carpetbag domination, this black hand
at the throat of Texas.
Will the white people of the state endure such situation?
Will the of the old Confederates brook such nsut
is fact that the Negroes of Texas in the main hard
working forward looking and to the best interests
of the staeatarge In this particular instance is
by the fact that of the strike breakers there Ne
employed whites rather startling percentage when
the relative striking percentages considered.
We feel that this strike though it does involve minority
of Negroes should be regarded than the ordinary
occurrence in view of the usual experience capital with
lied labor and commented upon with the dspassonate
view far the color scheme concerned other mani
esons Of the perpetual discomfort of organized labor with the
conditions which appeal to it as unbearable.

SATURDAY, sNp Il, 1920.


In regard TO the trial and con-
viction Of James Brown, rapist by
a Dallas County jury last week the
Dallas Morning News carried the
following editorial somment in its
issue of Sunday. June g.:
1.-THE people of Dallas County,
and Of Texas, too. for that matter,
are to be congratulated on having
achieved the legal conviction of a
Negro for ravishment. That is a
triumph Of law that is not often
enough Witnessed to render the
event unnoteworthy. OF course it
is not the laws fault, nor that Of
its ministers. that It achieves SO few
Of these triumphs. Rather 1t is due
to the misfortune OF. so seldom
having the opportunity vouchsafed
to it. It's customary fate Is itself
to be lynched along with the Negro
accused of that crime. 1t might
be said to deserve that fate If 1t
were recreant in such cases. But
whatever may be the delinquences
chargeable to the law, it can not
be accused of showing mercy for
Negroes who commit this crime.
In such cases, its record Of efficien-
cy is perfect II somewhat meager
in volume, and that fact makes the
lynching Of Negroes guilty OF
rape all the more inexcusable. If
the people Of Dallas County have not
quite established a precedent, they
have given an example that deserves
celebration in the hope that 1t may
be made to grow into custom.
The community will get more salts
faction from the legal execution of
this Negro than It could from the
lynching Of him. and also it will
get more protection from having
visited the laws penalty in that
manner. The notion that lynching
Is more effectual deterrent than
an execution brought about by legal
processes Is popular; but it is a
delusion.''
II lynehing and mob violence are
to Be abolished it must be accom-
plished through the creation OF a
public sentiment against it. When
American citizens are made fully
aware Of the fact that BY lynch
ing a criminal the law is also iyn-
ched mob violence will disappear.
We deplore the commission OF a
crime By any man but especially
one Of our own. We have no sym
pathy or tolerance for criminals but
but we realize that the dictates OF
en- enlightened civilization are served
only when the law Is allowed to
take itB course.
Such sentiment as expressed
BY the above editorial and the obed-
itnce 10 law Of the citizens OF Dali
Ine County In this Instance IL al
great stride forward toward pFactI-
cal hmcrieanism.
