abundant thrills, one of which is
hand to hand conflict between
frontiersmen in a cabin and the sud-

WHITE MEN PROTECT NE
GROES FROM KU KLUX
KHAN

Baton Rouge. La.-There appeared
at Lottie, "a miles from here, 43 men
dressed in Klan regalia last Saturday
headed toward the Negro section.
They were prevented from going
there by John NJ. Wilson, ]. NJ. Baron
and s. D. Cochran of the Wilson and
Cochran Lumber Company. The
masked men were ordered to turn
around or there would be trouble.
Going back to town it was found
that occupants of two automobiles
were not masked and in one of them
apparently directing the party was a
man said to be the manager of the
Lumber Company at Elliott City. a
mile away. The Elliott City concern
has been in strong competition with
the Lottie Company and clashes over
Negro labor are said frequently to
have occurred between the two COM
panies.

MIGRANTS COMING HERE
FROM DETROIT

At least six OF seven men a day
come into the employment Offices of
the Chicago Urban League from De-
troit. Their testimony is that the au-
tomobile business with the exception
Of the Ford Company is suffering a
slump in the fall and winter, therefore
the men during this season go to other
places seeking work. 1t is probable
that a much larger number of men
come to Chicago than those which
come into the Offices of the Chicago
Urban League. If the Ford factory,
employing a large number of Negroes,
closes down for any considerable
length of time large number of men
may be expected from that source.
The Ford company, heretofore has
been the one big plant in the auto
mobile industry in Detroit which has
been running throughout the year
since the demand for Ford cars is
constant rather than seasonable.

UNIVERSAL PEACE CONGRESS

The National Association for the

James Weldon Johnson, the receipt

Secretary of the international Bureau
of Peace, with headquarters at Berne,
Switzerland, stating that that organ

adopted the following resolutions:
The international Bureau of Peace
is asked to put on the Agenda of the
next International Peace Congress the
question of the relations of the white

Mr.. Golay in his letter further
states that the Bureau was directed to
communicate this resolution to the
governments of the world, to the dele
gates to the Assembly of the League
of Nations, and to all institutions in
terested in the question.
The letter concludes with a request
of the National Association for the

the development of preventive and
constructive activities for children in
rural sections usually depended on
the willingness OF some private in
divual or group to assume the hnan-
cial obligation. but today county COM
missioners in many States are finding
it sound economy to make an appro-
priation for this purpose. The recent
rapid growth of county welfare work
has come about largely as a result of
the development Of statewide plans,
but local organization is usually put
into effect only after the county has
indicated a desire for it. There can
be no welfare department unless the
supervisors are ready to have it, says
the Secretary of the California State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
while the Director of the Minnesota
Children's Bureau declares that il has
not been necessary to stimulate the
local communities in this regard, since
they have already made requests
faster than the State department
could meet the demand. OF &c coun-
ties in Minnesota, 90 have child-wel-
fare boards.

TEXAS GRAND JURY SLAMS
MOB

The September Grand jury sitting
here took occasion to condemn the
action of a mob which defiled the body
of Jesse Thomas, alleged murderer of
Harreli Bolton. Bolton was killed es-
corting a woman who was alleged to
have been attacked after Bottoms kill
ing. Jesse Thomas taken as the sus-
pect to the home of the woman was
identified by her as the guilty man.
The woman's father then killed
Thomas and his body was removed
to an undertaking establishment. The
mob, enraged because it had lost the
opportunity to lynch Thomas stormed
the undertaking establishment, took
the body, set FIRE to it on a public
square and then dragged the partially
burned body through the streets.
The Grand Jury was especially
charged to investigate the Bolton
murder but not enough evidence was
adduced to justify any indictment
The Grand Jury report reads in part
as follows: an connection with the
Bolton murder the consensus of opin-
ion of the Grand Jury is that Bolton
came to his death at the hands OF
Negro answering the description o.
Jesse Thomas. However, there has
been considerable testimony presented
to the Grand Jury that would leave
doubt as to the guilt of Jesse
Thomas.
an connection with the killing of
Jesse Thomas we wish to condemn
the action of the mob in dragging his
body through the streets of Waco and
burning the same and urge
all law abiding citizens to uphold the
law at all times"

nection with county organization;
State universities, however, are pre-
pairing students to return to their
home communities and take up this
career, and State boards make pos
sible the interchange of experience
through conferences, publications and
other means. In the country the wel-
fare worker has to be a general prac-
titioner, but he must have knowledge
OF the standard practice in the vari-
GUS fields of child welfare work as
well as the understanding and COM
mon sense necessary to adapt these
methods to rural conditions.
The plans are not exactly alike in
any two States, and it is likely. the
report points out, that methods of
work are not identical in any two
counties of the same State. Due to
variations EITHER in basic conditions
or in local preferences for certain
methods of handling situations" the
report declares. probably no State
will find it practicable to follow in
detail the plans adopted by any other
State, however successful they may
have proved" but the basic prin-
ciples are in agreement"
In counties of small population or
those possessing agencies whose work
already covers a part of the field, the
care and protection of children may
be combined with public health nurs-
ing, enforcing school attendance, pre-
ventive and reconstructive work with
families, including poor relief" and
supervision of persons on probation
or parole. In others the task is ex-
tensive enough to warrant dealing
separately with each of these groups
OF activities, but the general tendency
Is in the direction OF broad, co-ordin-
ated programs. The movement to-
ward unified county organization of
welfare work is frequently, the report
states, the result of local effort to
combine modern principles of social
work with business methods" Du-
pication of work is thus eliminated
and neglected fields are discovered
and provision made for them.

County Welfare Boards Promote
Child Care in Rural Communities

The most recent administrative ad-
vances in the local care of dependent,
defective, and delinquent children are
described in a report just issued by
the United States Department OF La
Dor through the Children's Bureau,
entitled County Organization for
Child Care and Protection" Admin
istration of care for neglected, handi-
capped, or delinquent children by To-
cal boards OF citizens, employing
trained workers and aided by State
boards, is, according to the report,
the plan which is gaining approval in
a constantly increasing number OF
States.
Within recent years laws requiring
or permitting some form OF county
welfare organization of broad scope
have been passed in Arkansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, North Carolina. and
Virginia, while individual counties,
private agencies, or State boards in
Alabama, California, Florida, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Car
DINA are working out similar plans
without special Legislative action.
County organization concerned main
" with the care OF dependent children
is found in Arizona, Indiana, New
York, and Ohio.
The report summaries recent de-
velopments in these States and pre-
sents detailed accounts of the methods
used in Minnesota, North Carolina,
California, New Jersey, and New
York, where county organizations for
child care are especially well devel-
oped. These accounts are written, in
each case, by the persons who have
been most directly concerned in work

When application for a license is

causes an inspection of the premises

1t is also required by ordinance that
