VERDICT INVITES
BOSSES to KILL

CONCORD, N. c., Oct. 90
Saturday the leaders of the mill
owners gang which kidnapped
Ben Wells, c. D. Saylors, and
c. NJ. Lell, beat Wells into in
sensibility and tried to lynch
him, all this just few days before
the same outfit murdered Ella May,
were whitewashed, pronounced not
guilty by jury here. The Loray
gang has thus been reassured that
they will not be punished for their
attack on the organizers of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union since
the bosses courts are on their side.
This whitewashing will give the
bosses black hundreds added en-
couragement to kidnap, blackjack,
and flog militant union organizers.
When the murderers of Ella May
likewise are whitewashed, they will
indeed be certain that they may even
murder with impunity.
To Whitewash Murderers.
The fake proceedings against
those indicted for Ella Mays mur-
der will be resumed on Monday in
Gastonia. 1t is the boast of mem
bers of the Loray Committee of 100
that eve have the solicitor, the
judge, the jury, and all the police on
our side. We can do what we damn
please and get away with it. We
can get all the witnesses we want
to swear to our alibis"
! That is exactly what happened
in Concord in the trial" of those
indicted for kidnapping ad flogging.
Nearly every member of the Com
mittee of 100 was paraded in court
to establish the alibis of their lead
ers. Their chieftains, Solicitor Car
penter of Gastonia, and Major Bull
winkle, attorney for the Manville-
Jenckes Co., and Gastonia case pros
ecutor, were there to help them.
C. D. Saylors and c. M. Lell tes-
titled to the same account as they
did in the Investigations conducted
before Judge Shaw in Charlottee.
Law Leaders.
They told how they were taken
from their boarding house by a
gang of thugs, among which they
recognized Carpenter and Bulwinkle,
and certain mill bosses and gunner,
taken out to the country, where
preparations were made to lynch
Wells. First Wells was flogged,
after he refused to denounce the
union, mad Saylor and Lell refused
to flog him. A party of hunters
came along and frightened the
lynchers away.
The 'prosecution" of the floggers,
conducted by Solicitor Zeb Long,
was perfunctory, and half hearted,
helping the mill lawyers defend the
Loray gangsters on trial.

WHEELS OF CONGRESS
 GATHERING MOMENTUM

WASHINGTON, April 20, R- Although the Senate is in adjourn rnent until Monday. the wheels of Congress are gathering momentum for the expeditions fulfllment of one of the principal purposes for which it was called into session. Operating under the rules limiting debate the remainder of the week the House planned to have the Farm Relief Bill advanced to a stage where amendments may be considered Monday, and the lead CTS are hopeful that the measure will be brought to a vote and sent to the Senate Tuesday or Wednes- day, and do not look for trouble to arise immediately.
 Out of an impending struggle over the incorporation of an export debenture provision. the strongest support is that of the proposal of the Senate when it included ten tative draft of the bill. The House Ways and Means Committee call ed to consider its draft of another major item, the administrators program of tariff revision bill. The Senate Judiciary Committee were also called to consider the right of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, to hold office.
 A conflict between Hoover and members of his party in the Sen ate, on three important proposals and between the Senate and House Leaders appeared certain as Con sress swung into full stride.

duced late yesterday praying Con gress to pass legislation granting Alaskans power to organize an American form of Territorial gov ernment without the domination and control of appointed officials"
 The memorial is a rather lengthy document. It rehashes most of the old assertions that the Terri torial legislatures have played the part of Esau in bartering away the powers bestowed upon them to Federal officials until the present "erritorial government is not in any sense responsible to the peo- ple of Alaska.
 The document further charges that Alaska has become a Federal bureaucratic government in which the tax payers are virtually ex cluded from any participation.
 Governor Parks is charged with active opposition to an attempt to secure for the people of Alaska voice in their local government, and that he discretely warned the attending members of the 1927 Legislature against the passage of the Controller bill and that the measure was then defeated by powerful Federal opposition.
 The memorial came as the re- suit of the present status of the Controller bill which was introduc- ed in the Senate and which the House amended by stripping it of all Controller features. The bill is now in a conference com mittee of both chambers.
