SCHOOL FOR
CONTEMPT OF
GOVERNMENT

Fairhope, Ala.-"Men who express
fear about the growing disrespect
for constituted authority" should
turn toward Florida, says Editor Gas
ton of the Fairhope Courier.
Their attention is directed to such
institutions for the manufacture of
discomfort and contempt for govern
ment as are now being exposed in
Florida, the system under which men
without money were arrested as vag-
rants, and for such charges as beat
ing their way on trains, fined 1926 or
80 days as poor Tabert was, and
turned over to a private concern to be
worked from daylight to dark, for
all that could be gotten out of them
by such brutality as makes the blood
of sensitive man curdle.
"The policy is general, north and
south, of treating out-of-works as
criminals and fining and imprisoning
them, if not contracting them out.
And this while men with money can
commit all sorts of crimes and get
away with it practically without pun
ishment.
Gan you expect men to respect, let
alone love, government which per-
mits its courts and officials to make
so great difference between those
who have and those who need?"

COAL OWNERS
PAY BIG SUMS
FOR WITNESSES

witnesses who were paid from $500
to $500 to testify against Frank
Keeney, state president of the United

gain and fled from drunken gun men
who were guarding them.
This is the latest development in
the persecution of union coal miners
by coal owners in connection with
strikes in Logan county.
With a nerve equal to their corrup-
ton, the coal owners attorneys then
asked the court to quash the proceed
ings against Keeney because rhree
of the states witnesses had been
spirited away and evidently tempered
with"
The miners counsel assured the
court the witnesses could be produced.
In four minutes after the court or
dered deputy sheriff to protect the
witnesses. they walked into the court

COLORED WORKERS
NEED LABOR PARTY,
SAYS SCHUYLER

New York.-The 100000 Ne.
groes of the country, 98 per cent Of
whom are workers, must combine
with white labor in political action
and the formation of a class con-
scious labor party as the only means
of lettering the conditions Of the
race, according TO George 5. Schuy-
Ter in the current Messenger, radical
Negro monthly.
"This political side Of the main eco
nomic struggle must be carried on
by a group of politicians owned and
controlled by organized labor. He
who pays the fiddler calls the tune.
Rewarding friends and Furnishing
enemies has proven futile for the
workers in the past. The great issue
in the United States is not, black
or white, but robbers or robbed.
NEGRO migration into northern
industrial centers has engendered
hostility between black and white
wage labor because of the eompeti-
ton for the inadequate supply OF
jobs. The intellectual mercenaries Of
the owning class have used this situa-
ton to their advantage by playing
upon the fears, ignorance and hatreds
of both groups of workers to keep
them divided and exploited. A house
divided against itself cannot stand.
'"The white trades unions, unor-
ganized workers, skilled and unskill-
ed, must be brought to a realization
of these truths, and the necessity OF
acting upon them. The same is true
of the Negro. Neither can hope to
free himself while the other remains
in servitude.
"The union into a solid phalanx
of black and white labor on the eco
nomic and political field is not as
difficult as some may think"
