Negro Mail Carrier
Files 500, 900 Suit
Against Prosecutors

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Samuel A.
Browne, Negro letter carrier, has filed
a suit with the county clerk of Rich
mond for 100000 against nine of his
neighbors, who have constantly per-
secuted him in an effort to force him
out of the Castleton. Hill district
where he purchased a home.
Browne points out in his complaint
that these nine neighbors met in a
real estate office in the district and
conspired to intimidate him into sell
ing his home by sending him threaten
ing letters, by trying to force an early
foreclosure of his mortgage, by trying
to have him transferred to another
postoffice and by causing persons on
July II and August 81, 1924 and July

and destroy his belongings.

the use of armored tanks against

that the ruling class is now placing

To Crush Workers Demonstrations.
THE mounted police were useful in
their day, but the day has passed.
The defence for them is that they are
useful in controlling disorderly

on mischief in these days would have
the men off their horses in the first
rush, since the modern paving gives
no sure foothold for horse, how
ever. he may be shot. d. The modern
appliance for dealing with disorderly
