ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
BLOCKED

Washington, D. C.-The DYER anti
iynching bill cannot be passed at the
present session of Congress and will
fail probably at the short session this
winter, House leaders contend.
This bill gives the government au-
tnority to carry to the federal courts
all crime cases in which aliens are
the victims, assuming jurisdiction in
such cases over state authorities and
courts as recommended by President
Harding in his latest message to Con-
gress on the strike situation. Other
provisions give federal authority in
lynching cases where the state au-
thorities fail to act.
The House passed the bill some
months ago after a stiff fight with
most of the Democrats and some Re-
publicans opposing it. The Senate op-
position is so strong that no attempt
will be made to force it through at
the present session.
Little attention is being given the
raised by organized labor
that the bill was prompted by hostl-
ity to organized labor, and was an
effort to give federal protection to
foreign strikebreakers.
The colored voters throughout the
country should at this coming cleo
ton vote against every United States
senator who comes up for reelection,
who fails to work and shout for the
passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching

In letter to the National Office
written at Washington, Mr.. Johnson
states that extensive and intensive
work will need TO be done during the
next few weeks that the bill may be
voted on and passed. Pressure, such
as has never been used before must
be used. This action of the Steering
Committee is the last step before de-
bate and vote and but one more step,
that of actual passage, remains be-
tween the present time and the sign
ing of the bill by President Harding
which viii make it law. Telegraph,
write, petition your Senators. Do
everything you can in every possible
way to show the Senate that the bill
must be passed.
