FLORIDA TO REPEAL.
CONVICT LABORLAW
Incident Prompts Northern State
Protest to- Extreme Southern
State
(By the Ass sociated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Tallahassee. Fla, April NORTH
Dakota has demanded that Florida
shall repeal its convict-labor laws at
once. This breach of friendly rela-
tions between a State Of the extreme
North and another of the extreme
South has been brought about by the
death of one Martin Talbert in a con-
vict lumber camp in Leon county In
in this state. North Dakota asserts
that Talbert was beaten to death. by
a heavy whip in the hands Of con-
vict labor whipping boss" while he
was unjustly held in a state of prac-
tical slavery.
Martin Talbert was member OF
well-known family living in Mum
ich, Cavalier County, North Dakota.
He was afflicted with the wanderlust.
Out seeing the world brought him to
Florida where he fell into the situa-
tions of common tramp and was
apprehended BY the local authorities
and hauled to the Convict Labor
Camp where he met his death, II +
asserted. at the hands OF a brutal
overseer. It is the old story or h
venturesome boy leaving a home Of
comfort to go out to see the world,
without the natural strength to meet
it's heavy exactions and thereby COM
ing to grief.
But lasting good is more than
likely to come out of this tragic sit
uation, for the State of Florida rs
about to change its convict laws as a
result of the solemn protest Of its
Northern sister State against the sy-
stem of which young Martin Talbert
was an unfortunate victim. Cover
nor Hardee favors the change. He
has decided to demand of the legis-
lature a repeal of the cruel law at
the session which began last week.
1t is expected that that body will
heed his behest and abolish the con-
vict labor law. And so 1t is that out
of the untimely and brutal death Of
a young, adventuresome white man
terrible blight on the life of this
great State will be abolished to the
great and lasting benefit of all of its
citizens.
