sleeping in open trucks and autos, anC

witches, more than 100 miners If
groups of five and ten are touring
Ohio as the vanguard of an army of
miner-solicitor which is conducting
house-to-h ouse and store to store col
lections in every city in Ohio.
The mass solicitors movement is
the result of meeting held by relief
committees from rs local unions in
the eastern Ohio mining field with
Alfred Wagenknecht, director of the
National Miners Relief Committee
The new relief is under the direction
of miners executive committee
headed by Jack Bell of Yorkville, Ohio.
James Vail, of Dillonvale, is secre-
tary. Miners youth organizations
and organized groups of miners wives
have promised to swell the ranks of
the relief army. Groups of volun-
teers have already been dispatched to
Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland
Dayton, Youngstown, Toledo, and
other cities.
Two truckloads of food and $403 in
cash was the immediate response of
Canton workers. One of the Canton
solicitors tells of an unemployed
worker attracted to the miners by the
unusual appearance of their pit
clothes. The child had been sent to
the grocery for a pint of milk. She
contributed two cents, the change
from the dime given her for the pur-
chase.
A letter received by the office of
the National Miners Relief Commit
tee from James B. White, captain of
the Cincinnati group, pictures the
hardships faced by the miners on the
road.

Any lynchers SO bone-headed as
that ought to be punished.
Earlier Lynching UNPUBLISHED
That is just where the leadership
of the South fails: it cannot see that
the only way to insure against an in
opportune lynching, is to prevent all
lynching2 at ali times and in all
places, For example, just one month
before this Houston lynching, a Negro
was lynched in a little town known
as Center, Texas.
If some of those who had lynched
Buddy Evins on May 81 in Center
were now serving in the Texas peni
Tertiary, then these eight men in
Houston would never have dared to
commit another such crime.
II the law had been enforced and
the criminals punished in the former
affair, those tempted to commit this
crime would have hesitated No Grim
final would expect to "get away" with
anything in Houston that he could
not even get away with in Center.
Usually Self-Defense
Note that: Both in Center and in
Houston the Negroes were charged
with killing some white man, and that
ne bedy- has yet proved that the Ne
gro did not kill merely in seH-defense
in both instances.
Everybody who knows anything
about 'srace Relations, >" knows that

Of ten it is pure animal act of self
defense on the part of the man of the

But whatever the crime, the only
way to avoid the embarrassment of

1ynching altogether and everywhere.
To Punish Lynchers?
" We would respectfully insinuate
that if the governor of the State of
TEXAS had taken as effective action
against the Center lynchers. as they
threaten to take against the Houston
lynchers, there would have been no
Houston lynchers.
While glad to publish the views
Of Mr.. Pickens, the editor is of the
opinion that the Negro masses can
not depend on suggestions that

LOSANGELES, CALF. Beauty

every screen actress must have

directors. As Howard Bretherton,

Studio Skin is the outstanding

That Is why the care Of her skin

the celebrated method France uses
for her finest soap and leaves the
skin with the same feeling of vel
vety smoothness. Lois Wilson,
