HOME OWNERSHIP is
UNREST CURE, SAYS
COMMITTEE REPORT
(By Associated Press)

BOSTON. Oct. 29--Industrial homes
and gardens are to be one of the major
elements of the many factors that
make for success in future manufac-
turing in the opinion of the special
committee which submitted a report
today to the Associated Industries of
Massachusetts at it's annual meeting
"A hundred years ago, the great
bulk of Massachusetts citizens were
home and land owners said the re-
port, but today less than five per
cent of the industrial workers of the
state own their homes. History shows
no race of people who have owned
land they cultivated who became
revolutionists. Russia, France, Mexi-
co all blew up because the people
could not get the land"
The report presented figures of the
cost of labor turnover in certain large
industrial plants and pointed out that
homes and gardens would automatical-
ly reduce this cost. 1t suggested that
a worker before he invested his saw
ings in a house should be made to
feel reasonably sure of regular employ
ment and relieved of the fear of ar
bitrary discharge.

SUPPRESS MOB rule,
JOHNSON DEMANDS
INRICHMOND SPEECH

Colored Republicans, both men and
women, crowded Bethel A. M. E.
church last evening to hear addresses
delivered by Representative Richa I'd
n. Elliott and Henry Lincoln Johnson,
who probably is the best known col.
ored political leader in the United
States and a Republican national com.
mitteeman from Georgia.
Representative Elliott aroused in.
tense enthusia SIN when he declared he
would support legislation making
lynching felony. He declared that
mob rule must be suppressed Mr. Ell
liott also denounced the brutality of
American rule in the colored republic
of Haiti. He called attention to the
fact that there had recently been pub
lished letter, written by General
Barnett, of the u. S. marine corps,
in which the general stated that he
had been Shocked" by the reports of
indiscriminate killings of Haitians
since the American occupation of the
island.
Mr.. Johnson declared that to ask
him to vote for Cox was paramount
to asking him ito go to that place
where it is too hot to shovel snow"
Denounces Segregation
He denounced the segregation laws
Of the southern states and said that
there were no such laws in Republi-
can states. Referring to Mr. Elliott s
statement that he intended to vote
for an anti-lynching law, Mr. Johnson
declared that if Thomas jefferson or
any other dead Democrat had heard
Mr. Elliott make the statement "they
would have turned over in their
graves"
THE men who have voted against
our interests at Washington are the
men whose. ancestors owned our an
cestors,' Johnson said. when Mr..
Elliott says that he will vote for an
anti-lynching law he is following in
the footsteps of Warren G.. Harding,
who has said: IF | am elected | will
use all of my power under the law,
and, if the law is inadequate, l will
then call upon the army and navy to
wipe out mob violence When War
rem G.. Harding says that you do not
need to worry about some peg-legged
lawyer running about saying that an
anti-lynching law is unconstitutional.
Just tell him that the supreme court
of the United States will decide upon
it's constitutionality"
Predicts Hading's Election.
Johnson stated that during the sew
en- years and eight months of the Will
son administration there had been
1851 colored men and women lynched.
When he predicted the triumphant
election of Harding the big crowd
roared it's applause.
A red fire parade, headed by the
Clay Military band of Indianapolis,
preceded the meeting and a large
number of men and women took part
in it.
c. r. Richardson, a Richmond at
torney, presided over the meeting. Fol-
lowing the meeting there was a dance
at the Masonic hall on South Sixth
street under the auspices of the col
ored Harding and Coolidge club.

WAYNE BUDGET.
IS insufficient.
FOR ELECTION
Cost of Balloting Next Tues
day Will Amount to Consid-
erably More Than Was An
ticipated.
MUST CALL COUNCIL

Owing to the fact that the cost of
the election to be held next Tuesday
will amount to considerably more than
was anticipated when the 1920 county
budget was made a special meeting of
the county council will be called some
time after the election and before the
first of next year for the purpose of
making an additional appropriation to
take care Of the election expense
deficit
After paying for the expenses of the
primary election last May and the cost
for the registration of voters there re-
mains only s6,536 in the county's elec-
tion expense appropriation.
Additional and unexpected expenses
already contracted for the general
election next week show that the
available funds are insufficient to meet
all of the election costs. At the spe-
cial session of the legislature in Aug
ust salaries of election officers were
In creased considerably.
Salaries Increased.
There are sixty-six election precincts
IN Wayne county and each of thirty
eight precinct polling places will have
one inspector, two judges, two clerks
and two sheriffs. Twenty-eight pol
ling places will each have one inspect
or, two judges, four clerks and two
sheriffs. The salaries of the inspect
ors have been increased from $500
to $1,000, the judges from $4.00 to
$500, the clerks from S400 to $500
and the sheriffs from $500 to $500.
OF the $685. election expense ap-
preparation available $4,464 will be
paid out in salaries to election Off
cials.
Three extra voting booths for each
of the twenty-eight largest precincts
had to be provided. These additional
booths cost $1,375. Additional cans
for receiving ballots had to be pro-
vided at a cost of 500 and the ex-
pense Of having locks put on these ad
ditional cans and to have them painted
has not been estimated.
More Clerks Needed.
When the county board OF election
commissioners recently decided to
place six instead of three voting
booths in each polling place in the %
largest precincts they were required
by law to appoint the additional clerks
for each of these polling places, and
the salaries of these additional clerks
will amount to 1904.
No estimates have been made as
yet on the cost Of printing the ballots
and for the various other election sup
plies.
Last spring 1t was proposed to the
county commissioners that they
should increase the number of voting
precincts in Wayne county because of
the prospect of suffrage being granted
to women. The commissioners de-
cided to make no change in the pre-
cincts and. county officers declare,
the decision of the county commits
sioners was well taken, for as heavy
as the expense of the general election
Is to be under existing circumstances
this expense would have been consid
erably greater if more precincts had
been provided.
