JIM-CROWISM PETTY
THIEVERY

An ex-soldier has written to
President Coolidge protesting
against the robbery and thiev-
cry involved in the jim-crow
car system. Negro passen-
gers are compelled to pay first
class fare and yet accept third
class accommodations. I h e
ex-soldier cites as a specific
case the transferance of him
self and some ladies from a
first-class coach to a smoker.
Now anybody who knows any
thing about the jim-crow car
system of the South knows that
it is a system of robbery. 1t is
robbery to deprive a purchaser
of any commodity for which he
pays. There is no such thing
as equal service" on any
southern railroad where the
jim-crow system prevails. We
have visited the South, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, on two or
three occasions and ridden on
jim-crow cars on four railroad
lines in those states, and on
neither road was there the
slightest pretense of providing
equal accommodations. For
tunately, the distances we had
to travel were comparatively
short, except on overnight
ride from Little Rock, Arkan-
sas, through Oklahoma, until
we struck the Kansas line,
when we left the stuffy little
compartment, boxed off from
the baggage car, for the airy
and well-ventilated coach in
which other passengers were
riding and in which we were
also entitled to ride because
we had paid first-class fare.
That was on the Missouri Pa
cific. Our shorter rides were
on the Rock Island and two
other roads. Equal accommo-
dations are not provided. The
interstate commission knows
that they are neither provided
nor contemplated. The thing
to do is to compel the railroads
to supply equal accommoda-
tions" for all passengers, white
and black, who pay equal
fares. This will include Pull
man accommodation and din
ing facilities. So long as rail
roads are permitted to charge
first-class fare by the govern
ment of the United States and
furnish passengers, because of
their race or color, with inferi-
or accommodations and not
what they contract for when
they accept passenger tariff,
the government is a party to
petty thievery and despicable
robbery. Jim-crow laws or
customs anywhere are a species
of petty thievery.

MANY NEW HIGHS
IN STOCK MARKET
induStriaIs Are Leaders in
: Movement Today-Raiis
; Not So Prominent.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. September c.-The
stock market started in today where
It. left off yesterday, in the midst of a
sweeping recovery from the midweek
reaction. Prices of all the industrial
leaders were carried up in impressive
fashion, many of them to new highs
for the year and some to new highs
for all time.
There were evidences everywhere
OF a hasty reversal of position by op'
orators for the decline. Spectators
who had put out short commitments
made haste to take them in. Probably
q good many Stop-losS orders were
caught on the way up. as that pro
tective device is used by bears as well
as by bulls. At any rate the markets
action was such as to persuade all
hut the most courageous short sellers
to retire from the field.
Industrials Leaders.
Tndustrials were the leaders today,
iust as the rails were Thursday 1t
was not so much Steel and General
Motors, although both these were
strong, as it was General Electric.
Allied Chemical and Postum Co. thar
were the spectacular performers. The
upward surge carried all three to a
new high record of one skind or ans
other Montgomery Ward added to
its striking gain of the preceding ses.
sion and Sears Roebuck. went along.
Traders had little fresh news on
which to found their operations. Much
was still made of the large gains in
sales reported by the mail order
houses. Call money held unchanged
at 315 per cent and there was nothing
in the Federal Reserve Bank state
ment to foreshadow any change in
the credit situation. Buying. however,
was based not on anything in the
outside world. but on the astonishing
exhibition of vitality the market itself
gave.
General Motors Gains.
General Motors above $50 was only
q little more than a point under it's
previous best price. but in the first
half of the day activity in this long
popular leader was comparatively
small The independent motor shares
came in for more attention under the
leadership of Nash, which made a new
high since the split-up.
Selling at S5 the price was equiva-
lent to $50 for the old stock. Chrysler
was another strong automobile stock.
not far below it's previous peak. Wall
Street apparently has lost all fear of
Henry Ford becoming a serious com.
petitor in the automobile field for
some months to come.
Railroads were not so prominent,
save in a few instances. Western
Maryland pushed ahead into new high
ground on the movement. Hooking
Valley selling in odd lots was up eight
points at 302. added to a gain of over
six points yesterday. Shares of the
Southwestern roads went higher on
small turnover, including st. Louis
Southwestern and Texas and Pacific.
Interest in the utilities was confined
20 a few stocks. North American sold
at the highest since 1926 and Consoli-
dated Gas moved up a couple of
points. Others more or less strong
were Electric Power and Light. Com

SUGAR MARKET QUIET.
Futures Easier Under Liquidation
for Three-Day Adjournment.

NEW YORK. September 2 R).--
The raw sugar market was quiet early
today. No sales were reported, and
prices were unchanged at AT for
Cuban duty paid.
Raw sugar futures were easier un-
der liquidation or realizing for over
the three-day adjournment, probably
promoted by the unsettled conditions
in the refined market. Trading. how
ever, was not active. The trade In
general was inclined to limit opera
tions and await developments. Prices
at midday were to points net lower.
The refined market was unchanged
at 5.75 to 600 for fine granulated, with
better inquiry at the inside level.

despite their long friendship IL ia
thought unlikely that the President

Aside f,om the virtually unanimous
feeling on the part of the leaders
that the Presidents statement wa<

sincere in his announced intention to
retire To private life the impression
prevails that he mas not definitely
