SPEAK FOR THEMSELvES

Chicago, May 20. 1898,
Mr. Heary A. Blair, President,
Chicago Surface Lines,
los S. La Sale Street,
Chicago,
Dear SIR
1t has been reported to this Office
that Mrs. Bessie Jones, of 121 East
57th ST., was yesterday the victim OF
most ungentlemaniy and indecent
treatment at the hands of Conductor
No. 1850 on car No. 5000, south
bound about four O'Clock in the after
noon, when Mrs. Jones transferred
to through route car No. 3, near the
intersection at Lincoln Park.
Mrs. Jones entered the car, offered
her transfer to the conductor which
was accepted. After being seated, the
conductor came into the car, threaten
sing Mrs. Jones and saying that her
transfer was no good and that she
knew it, throwing the transfer in her
face.
The woman was entitled to her ride
ard was so shocked from the attack
upon her that she went into tears.
Many people in the car were in full
sympathy with Mrs. Jones and came
to her assistance, and although the
conductor tried to cover up his num-
Der, it was, nevertheless, secured.
The facts presented certainly war
rant most rigid investigation and
discharge at once of such an offend
ing conductor. "A conductor on
public conveyance resorting to such
conduct IS certainly unfit to handle
the travelling public / am quite sure
this matter will have your prompt at
tention.

JUSTICE FOR ALL
Join South Wide Movement for Bee
ter Race Relations-Strong
Statement Issued

Oklahoma City.-(Speciai to The
Broad Ax)-More than a score Of
Oklahoma's leading women, meeting
in this city a few days ago, followed

lations through cooperation with the

Negro, both for his own sake and
also for the common welfare State
and local authorities were called upon
to protect all citizens alike, regardless
Of color. and the idea that lynching is
ever justified was vigorously repudi-
ated.
The press was asked 10 cooperate
in the demand for fair deal for the
Negro and to give more publicity TO
his worthy achievements and relative
ly less to his shortcomings.
On the basis of their special interest
in the home, the women pledged
themselves to study of the needs Of
Negro homes and to the effort 10
remedy such conditions as threaten
their welfare and purity. "A commit
tee was appointed to make this study
and others were appointed to study
