MAYOROF YOUNGSTOWN
ORDERS COLORED
PEOPLE AWAY

Johnstown, Pa, Sept. 14.-M IRE
than 1000 Negroes and Mexicans have
left the city, a large number are in
Jail and others are preparing
to depart, in consequence OF
the issuance of orders by
i, Joseph CaufYiel requiring a.,
Negroes and Mexicans who have not
been residents of the city for seven
years to leave it at once and layina
down drastic disciplinary rules for
those remaining here.
The exodus of imported labor.
brought here originally by the Cam
bria plant of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, and the Mayors orders fol-
lowed rioting on August 81 in Rosedale
the Negro and Mexican colony. In
which three policemen were killeL
two Others probably fatally wounded
and one Negro killed.
Negroes coming to the city, accord
ing to Mayor Cauffiel's orders, mus
report at once to central police head
quarters and tel whence ihey came
and how long they intend to remain
here. Assemblages of Negroes, except
in church. are forbidden and Negro
associations here hive been prob bitef
from holGing meetings of protest.
Licenses for Negro dances and for
other social functions have been re
voked and new licenses are not being
issued.
Rosedale, where more than 5000 Ne
groes and MeXicans lived in bunk
houses before truable began. is desert
ed
Though it is believed by city orf,-
cials that the Mayor has no authority
to order all Negroes out of the city,
no action has been started to cheek
the exodus. because of the killing OF
the officers int nse feeling against the
Negroes continues throughout the city
and the Mayor is believed to have
against the imported labor
Semi-officia, figures from the Betf.,e
hem company, employing the largest
number of Negr ees in THE city, show
that more than 1900 Negroes and Mex
leans have been paid off. The Bethele-
hem company, it is said, is seriously
handicapped by the exodus and is uE-
able to find white labor to do the work
formerly done by the Negroes; but no
protest has been made to city officials.
MayNr Cauffiel of Johnstown. came
into the limelighs in August of las,
year whkn he told saloon-keepers OF
the city that they might sell real beer
IF they complied with the law" After
tire city had been thoroughly advertis
ed by the incident the State troopers
