II seems to me that you have
work before you which you canno
leave. For four or Ave years

cannot have more when you give
: much of yourself to the home.

the national French soup and
must be made in an earthenware
pan with q lid that is specially

Binyon gave letter to this effecl
to Bell, with instructions to read il
to Negroes in his precinct.
Other packing plant officials de-
clared they were taking no part i'll
the election and were not allowing
their foreman to influence the men
in any way.
Binyon intimated that he believed
the work was being done by union
labor insofar as the plant does not
reorganize or discriminate against
either union or non-union labor.
Ours is an open shop" he said.
1--WE will employ man as quickly
if he belongs to the union as if he
does not, if he is capable. l believe
the threats made against the Negroes
employed here have been made b.
unionmen, although l do not know
what their motive is"
The police department is unionlzed
and affiliate with the labor feder-
alton.
Bell said that other residents of
his community had told him the fore
men, seeing they were unable to
persuade the Negroes not to vote, had
told them a voting booth would be
arranged at the plant and that they
could cast their ballot there. This
he said, has caused much confusion
as the plants are not located in the
same precinct as their homes.
Two automobile loads of uniformed
police were in Packingtown Thurs.
day afternoon and other members of
the force were going and coming
in motorcycle sidecars.
