Man Lynched
In No. Carolina
GOVERNOR INDIGNANT.

-Tarboro, N. c., Aug.-Oliver
Moore, 20, was taken from his cell
in the Edgecombe County jail in the
early morning of August 10 by a
mob of more than 200 men, partly
masked, and carried by automobile
into Wilson County, strung to tree
and his body riddled with bullets.
Moore was accused of attacking the
two young daughters of his landlord
on July Is, and had been placed IN
Edgecombe County jail, awaiting
trial in September. According to
the report of Deputy R. o. Watson,
who was in charge of the jail, the
men came early in the modning while
he was in bed and demanded the keys:
Upon his refusal some members of
the mob rushed him, pushing pistols
against various parts of his anat-
omy, while others took the cell keys
from the wall. They went through
each cell until they found Moore.
He was carried in waiting automo-
biles near the scene of the alleged
attack and strung up by two plow-
lines and shot to death. Deputy
Watson said that he was unable TO
recognize any Of the mobists.
When the attention of Governor q.
Max Gardener was called to the at.
fair, he expressed a desire OF bring
the guilty parties to justice, as North
Carolina had not had lynching since
1921. He promised the support OF
the State in assisting the County au-
thorities to apprehend and punish the
lynchers.

Wants Negro
Group Out
N. A. A. c. p. GETS UNDER WHITE
TEXAS EDITORS SKIN.

New York, Aug. 15.-The success
full counter-propaganda by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People to efforts
made by Texas whites to justify
in England the burning at Sher-
man, on May 9th, of George Hughes,
has stirred the editor Of Corpus
Christi Texas paper. The editor
suggests that Somebody ought to
take the leaders Of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Colored People by the hands and
gently lead them out into the At
lantic ocean, leaving the good white
people and the good Negro people OF
the South to work out their prob
lens as friends with friends, as they
have done for hundred years and
can continue to do"
When Negroes remember the beS-
TALLY of the Sherman lynching and
of the nearly 5000 other mob-mur-
ders which have taken place In
America, most of them in the
South, during the last forty years
and when they remember disfran-
ehisement, segregation, injustice in
the courts, jim-crow cars, degreda-
ton of colored women and other in
stances of Southern friends" for
tn, Negro it seems somewhat doubt
fal that Negroes will want the type
of friends the South has to offer
them.

Political Leader
Lauded
PRAISE COLURED ALDERMAN
WHO LEADS CHICAGO CITY
COUNCIL.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 18-(By The
Associated Negro Press.)-The ca
reer of Alderman Louis b. Ander-
son, alderman Of Chicago's famous
Second Ward, was extolled in the
Public Service Leader, local white
publication, last week. Describing
the remarkable service which the
veteran councilman has rendered the
community and during which he has
rendered the community and during
which he has arisen to membership
on the most powerful committee of
the city council including the f.
nance committee which practically
runs the city's finances as. we'll as
being recognized floor leader for
the mayor, the Leader says:
when the biographies of men
high in the public life of Chica-
go shall have been inscrbed-f
that task aver is undertaken
probably no man in that legion Of
public servants will offer to the
author of such a work more fer
tile or interesting material for i'm
agination or pen than the Honor
able Louis B. Anderson, present AL
derman and Republican Ward Com
mitteeman of the Second Ward.
Elected to the City Council in
1917, Alderman Anderson, stepped
from the placid current Of private
citizenship iito The turbulent and
uncharted waters of political life,
the second representative of his
race to sit in the legislative halls
of Chicago. While another Of his
race preceded him as a municipal
legislator in the City Council. that
circumstance cannot be said to have
smoothed the road over which the
present Alderman was compelled to
journey when first elected.
Endowed with keen intelligence
and intuitive, understanding, Alder
man Anderson mentally encompass
ed 1.-The disproportionate obstacles
which, if ne hoped for success, must
be swept aside in the interim. His
was not the usual problem of his
colleagues in the fight for Coun-
ell recognition and committeeship
preferment-but an infinitely more
difficult one. NBurdened with the
age-old handicap of race, he was
carrying a more crushing Load
one to sorely tax the courage and
qualifications of the most resolute
and mentally resourceful.
alderman Anderson more than
anyone else, realized the truth OF
this; that more than likely sim
gle ill-advised move on his part, at
the outset, would spell utter failure
for him in his ission.
"For the Alderman had mission,
amounting to an all-pervading am
bition with him. Animating his be-

mind-the personal relish of his po-
sition-was the wish to "serve his
people"-his race-in the truest
sense of the word, in measure
beyond anything implied by the
term in the realm of politics.
throughout all of his life, Alder
man Anderson had looked forward
to-dreamed of the time when,
through some fortuitous cirum-
stance, he might find it within his
power to serve as the instrumental.

Labor Congress
Aids Workers
Endorses Call of International La.
Dor Defense

New York, Aug. 1S-(CNA. 1.-The
American Negro Labor Congress
today issued statement endorsing
the call of the International La
Dor, Labor Defense for a mass de-
monstration on August 22nd to
commemorate the martyrs, Sacco
and Vanetti, and to demand mo
death, no prison sentences" for the
six ATLANTA organizers, and free
dom for all class war prisoners.
The statement Of the American Me-
gro Labor Congress endorsing the
call reads in part:
The terror of the bosses is in
creasing. More and more attacks
are being made against workers, es-
pecially Negro workers. In the
North we witness attacks being
made on Negro workers in Brook
lyn, Elizabeth, Pittsburgh, Boston
and scores of other places. In the
South the terror that always exist
ed is becoming greater. Lynching
is more than double that of last
year Even in the North-above
the Mason-Dixon line&two Negro
workers were lynched, and the life
Of third attempted.
In these attacks against both Ne
gro ana white workers, the State
with its police, courts and all of its
agents are taking an open part In
the persecution Of militant work
era. The state of Georgia, for in
stance, is the prosecutor in the at
tempt 10 send Herbert Newton and
five othero rganizers to death for
the crime Of trying to better the
conditions of the Oppressed masses.
The governor of Alabama offers
three hundred dollar reward to have
q Negro lynched. The state of In
diana breaks up a meeting protest
ing the murder of two young work
-ers. These are but few examples
of the widespread attacks upon the
working class, Everywhere in the
United States these attacks are TAX
hAS pave
The international Labor De-
tense has always shown itself to
be the defender of those attacked
by the bosss and their agents. Not
in a single instance has the LID
ever refused to defnd workers on
account of race or color. The LID
has proven itself to be the defend
err of the working class. Always
where workers are attacked the
LID is there defending them.
For these reasons the AHIC sup
ports the call of the LID, and ap-
calls to all it's members, friends and
sympathetic organizations to dem
onstrate on August 22nd against the
bosses attack, to demand the re-
lease of all imprisoned fighters, and
to prevent the Georgia bosses from
duplicating themurder of the bosses

Pittsburgh Clergy
SupportLy

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 1S.-(CNA)
After having been invited to
speak to the Baptist Minister con-
ference here, Herbert Newton, Ma
tional Organizer of the American
Negro Labor Congress. and one
the six workers facing death in
Atlanta, was denied the floor and
told that his appearance "wouln't
be feasible"
The conference consisted Of about
four or five hundred ministers
who meet weekly at Macedonia
Church to discus new ways and
meand of fleeing their creduolus
focks. Owing to the efforts of one
minister who refused to sell his
race for gold, Newton had been in
vited to speak on his case in At
lanta, and on the national Anti
Lynching Campaign.
The news got out, however, and
the head of the Jones and Laugh
lin teel Corporation called up Rev.
Robinson of the Macedonia Church
and asked him what was the con-
nection between the ANLC and the
Minister'S conference.
This was yelled warning that
Newton should not be allowed to
speak. sn order to make sure that
this warning was needed, last Mon
day morning-the day on which
Newton was scheduled to speak-a
representative of the j. & L. Steel
Corn came to the church with or
ders that Newton should not be al
lowedto speak. The Executive Com
mittee of the Ministers Conference
slavishly carried out the will Of the
great steel corporation. They stated
that if they allowed Newton to
speak, it might appear as II the
Ministers conference was helping
the struggle against lynching.
The ]. & L. Steel Corporation
controls the overgrown company
town of Pittsburgh. They decide
what ministers shall preach here,
and what the sermons sould DC.
Besides controlling the churches
the steel corporation runs the
whole local government. Not very
long ago they sent three labor or
GAMERS to Jail for terms Of three
to I've years.
The steel corporation working
their help on part thine basis OF
two and three days week, at ten
hours err day, and only "A cents
per hour, amassed profits OF n mil
lion dollars lastyear. In order to
increase its profits still further the
speed-up system has been intro
duced, resulting in daily accidents.
Needless to say that the Negro
workers at this paint are given the
hardest and most dangerous jobs.
1t is to this crew of slave driv-
ers that the Baptist Ministers con-
ference has bowed its humble head.

ment of the lynchers who broke into
the Jail, apparently with little difficult
ty and with a minimum of resistance
on the part of the sheriff and the o.
.ner officers, seized the two youths
charged with murder and rape, and
hanged them. Mr.. White is looking
into number of reports indicating
that some of the facts as given in the
newspapers are at variance with the
truth. A summeery of his finding and
report of action taken will be made
by the N. A. A. G. P. upon Mr., Whites
retunrn to New York City.

White Plains Citizens Would I'm
port Competitors ToNegro Doctors

New York, Aug. 15.-The Nation
al office Of the N. A. A. c. P. has
been informed that although there
has been an apparent lull in the
White Plains situation arising out
of the purchase of homes by Doc
tors Errold D. Collymore and Ar
thur M. Williams, there have, new
ertheless, been evidences of at
tempts at insidiuos methods to dis
lodge them from their homes. 1t
is alleged that these attempts are
being inspired by real estate infiu-
ences. 1t has been learned on good
authority that recently attempts
have been made by certain white
persons to induce Negro physician
and dentist to come to White Plains
to oppose these two struggling
young men. It is stated that some
limited financial help would even be
extended, and that the white people
would force the Negroes to go to
these imported men.
Careful inquiry discloses that the
Negroes in White Plains and vicin-'
ity are in no mood to give welcome
or patronage to any newcomer un-
der these conditions. They assert
that since Doctors Collymore and
Williams have been in their COM
munity they have done all they
could to promote the welfare Of the
colored people. They hold these
men in very high esteem because OF
the devotion with which these men
have served them. They feel also
that these men are making per-
sonal sacrifices that are of great
importance, not only to them but to
Negroes all over the country; and
that any Negro practitioner coming
to their community under such in
stigations is siding with enemies OF
racial progress.
doubt, has achieved his ambition to
"wellserve his people," He of
surety, by his work in their behalf,
rhas advanced the cause of the col
ored race, softened the JUDGMENTS
and broadened the viewpoints OF
those within the scope of his infiu-
ence out of all proportion to the
: limits of his opportunity.
'That the alderman's services are
appreciated by his constituency,
and his friendship cherished by 9th
ers not of his race, was strikingly
exemplified few weeks ago when
banquet held in his honor at Bin
gas Arcade, 35th at State street,
numbered among the guests scores
of his friends high in the political
life of the city and state.
