LABOR MEMBERS
IN HOUSE FIGHT
FOR The MINERS
Fists and Hard Words
Fly In Parliament

LONDON, July 12.- The govern
ment's decision to go ahead with the
bill for the longer workday in the
mines, brought about a riotous. scene
unprecedented in British history in
the staid house of lords. While labor
members Of the house of commons
practically mobbed the upper house
and were held back by armed guards
crying out the authority of the king,
the bill passed the lords by "A to four;
the four members of the house of
lords fighting the measure inside,
while outside the labor members of
the commons engaged in fist fights
with the conservatives In the cor
ridors.
Never before has the house of lords
used the armed guards and the
authority of the monarchy to eject
members of the commons. Labor men,
bers Of the commons crowded into
the house of lords and tried by con-
Tinuous heckling to prevent the vote
which is preceded always by the an
cient ceremonial words, lie roll veut"

The four labor members in the

against the bill, and when Viscount

speak for the government, labor mem

many districts of the county was
such that mob action was more than
likely. Notwithstanding the effici-
ency Of our State Highway Police
force it is a question whether they
could have coped with the situation,
had the emergency arisen. Such oc-
casion did arise, and the tear gas
bombs thrown by the troopers were
responsible for holding the mob in
check. While it is to be regretted
that some of the public had to be
put to discomfort during the few
hours of the trial, it is better that
the Governor did act, and that the
militia did keep Delaware's name
clean for justice to her criminals.
We believe Governor Robinson act
ed wisely.
SoS
LET those gentlemen who consid-
er themselves quite too respectable
and decent to mingle in our cleo
tions remember that God Almighty
will hold them responsible for the
manner in which they discharge
their duty as voters. That right and
privilege is not given to them for
their benefit, or to be used at their
pleasure, but for my benefit, for
your benefit, and for the benefit of
the thirty millions of people in the
United States. If one sees an un-
worthy man go to the polls and take
of the government, and
he will not prevent it, if there be
such a thing as future responsible
ity-as we all believe-that man will
have something to answer for upon
that final day when all of us must
account for our acts.-Thomas Cor

IT is BUT NATURAL that the
citizens Of Georgetown should feel
resentful against the state troops
who assumed charge of the public
square and some Of the streets near
the courthouse in that town during
the trial Of Harry Butler last Mon
day. There is no doubt but that
many of the townspeople were in
conVenienced and that their regular
routine of going about their little
town was disarranged by the pres
ence Of the troops. In cases Of this
kind inconvenience is bound to re-
suit, and the citizens must make the
best Of it. 10 those circulating
about in the crowds at Georgetown
on Monday it was evident that there
was a decided under-current Of op-
position to the presence Of the state
troorerA Notwithstanding this feel
ing on a. part of the residents of
the town, and of those who were in
convenienced by their presence in
Georgetown, we believe that Cover
nor Robinson acted wisely in order
ing the militia to the county seat.
We further believe that their pres
ence was responsible for the order
" manner in which the courts were
enabled to conduct the trial, and
that through their presence mob ac-
ton was averted and a probable
lynching nipped in the bud. Those in
touch with public sentiment in Sus-
sex County know that feeling in

MILFORD, FRIDAY, FEB. 12, 1926

FULL JUSTICE WAS DONE a
Georgetown on Monday, when, af
ter fair trial and conviction, Harry
Butler was sentenced to hang or
Friday, February Goth. Convicted Oi
1.-The most atrOciOus assault ever
made on a Delaware child, the ne
gro was meted out his just dues in
record time. Convening at 1O:3O o.
clock, a jury was empaneled within
half an hour and the case against
Butler was being presented by the
State. In his own defense, Butler
admitted on the stand that he had
made the attack, but denied having
accomplished his entire purpose. Re
ceiving the case at 4:O2 o'clock, the
jury reached their verdict and an
nounced it to the court at 4:10 o.
clock-just eight minutes. The Court
was quick in doing its unpleasant
duty, and within a very few min
utes Butler had been sentenced to
death. It is this kind of justice that
will do more to stop lawlessness in
Delaware than will all of the police
force or military organizations in
existence. When men who are in
clined to defy the laws of God and
the State, and are moved to commit
such henious crimes, know that the
moose will be their lot these crimes
will cease and the children and wo-
men of our commonwealth will be
safer as a result. When a few
weeks ago the negro convicted Of
rape in Kent County Court was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment the pub
lie in lower Delaware was wrought |
UP to fever heat. Prediction was
then made that the next case Of the
kind would see mob action, with its
stain on the little Diamond State.
Knowing the temper of the people
of the lower counties, the Chronicle
at that time voiced opposition to the
sentence, and demanded full Justice
for those brutes who attack our wO-
men and children, regardless of col
or or race. How near these predic-
tions of mob violence came to a con-
summation, is now publicly known. i
In the Butler case, it was only the l
alertness of the State Highway Po-
lice which prevented a lynching on t
the night of his awful crime. Feel
ing against the negro since the night !
of January 21st has been growing V
Sussex County. That fact
is beyond dispute. 1t is indeed for 0
tunate that Governor Robinson, with
all the facts before him, ordered ma n
chine gun batteries to Georgetown h
to protect the negro during his i
trial. His decision was wise. There il
is little doubt that there were men O
in many sections of Sussex County n
who hoped to participate in lynch E
ing on Monday. The presence of the v
troops, with their barbed wire en-
tanglements and machine guns plac- [
ed at points of vantage did much to u
cool the ardor of the mob. The con- p
viction of Butler, his hanging late "
this month, and the evident desire t.
Of the state officials to see that full P
Justice was done, has done much to d
hold the respect for law in lower Ia
Delaware. Chief Justice Pennewill h
and Associate Judges Harrington +
and Richards are to be congratulate h
I'd for their prompt action in the e
case. The people Of Sussex County 81
are satisfied with the verdict, and IL
he punishment meted out to But d

for next year. To assist In this
movement American Legion Savings
clubs have been organized in banks
all over the country. Many local
banks are sponsoring such clubs,
through cooperation with Legion
posts, upon authorization obtained
from Jock ]. Wicker, Jr., of Rich
mond, Virginia, National Travel Dir
ector for the France Convention
committee of the Legion. The State
Trust Company is the authorized de-
position in Augusta.
The Legion is also backing ma
tional movement to induce employers
to grant sufficient vacation time in
1927 to enable their ex-seryice en-
ployes to make the trip. Congress
has set an example through the con-
sideration of a bill which will grant
ex-seryice employees of the govern
ment extended vacations in 1927.
Many large employers associations
have given the movement their
hearty endorsement. 1t Is estimated
that it will take at least four. weeks
to make the trip to France and back.
Unusually low rates have been
provided for the trip by the France
Convention committee. The mini
mum rate, which will include tran
sportation both ways on the Atlantic,
housing for a week in Paris, tran
sportation in France, including a
trip to an American battlefield and
an American cemetery, will be about
SITS. Higher rates, providing better
grades of accommodation will be
provided, with a maximum rate of
about $3.50. 1t is estimated that the
trip, including all expenses can be
safely made for a little as $500.
On board ship, Mr.. Elder has stat
ed, there will be none of the custom
airy restrictions between classes. No
matter what class of accommodation
a veteran may purchase he will be
entitled to complete freedom of the
ship. Deck space will be open to all,
and the magnificent public rooms of
the liners to be used will be placed
at the disposition of the veteran
holding a minimum price berth as
much as the young plutocrat who
can afford to engage the bridal suite.
