FIGHT LYNCHING.
RU Tim Allen

Lynch law sharpens it's ferocity as
unemployment grows worse and as
the farm crisis deepens. Last week
one Negro was lynched in the Darien,
Ca, Jail, another was murdered by
the posse Of guardsmen and officers
near Darien, two Negroes were
lynched in Mississippi, an attempted
lynching took place in Eastman, Ca,
and there are mobs on the man hunt
for more victims at Darien and at
Russellville, Ark. In addition to
lynchings, prosecutions and shooting
of Negroes hy e cers grows shaper
every day.
Lynch law is being set to work at
quick pace in the north also. In
Chicago, Lee Mason, Negro candi-
date for Congress on the Communist
ticket, died as the result of brutal
beating by Chicago police, when he
spoke at meeting to protest the
lynchings at Marion, Ind. Romano
Ferguson, militant Negro woman,
was arrested for protesting lynching
at the same meeting. The most mill
tant workers ere heino chosen = vic
tins of the boss lynch mobs, and
lynch courts.
The intensive lynch wave against
Negro workers is part of the nation
wide campaign of terror being waged
against the workers who are growing
ever more militant in their refusal to
accept starvation as their lot. Dur
ing the course of this year five mill
tant white workers were murdered by
police in New York and Chicago for
their participation in the workers
struggle for better conditions. The
bosses courts are busily at work
handing out long prison sentences
to mil tam workers. T o''srnds of
unemployed workers are Shaving on
the southern chain gangs for the
crime of being unomployeI. The
bosses Of Atlanta are rushing the
trial of six organizers VIII m they
intend to brrn in the electric chair,
by legal lynching.
There must be absolutely no hest
tation on the part of the workers to
respond to the national anti-lynching
campaign now being led by the
American Negro Labor Congress. At
the very center of the lynch law do
main, the workers of the south must
hold their anti-lynching conference
and send delegates to the st. Louis
Convention of the A. N. L. c., to
be held on Nov. 18th. No worker,
white or black, can call himself a
militant member of his class, unless
he does everything in his power to
broaden and organize the fight
against lynching by bringing the
question of the Southern Anti
Lynching Conference before his I'M
ion or his organization, by spreading
the slogan of organizing defense
groups of white and Negro workers
to defeat lynch mobs.

"THE NEGRO AND THE
PRIMARY"

Now that the Negro in Rich
mond has won a decisive victo-
ny through the United States
Courts over the opponents to his
participation in Democratic pri-
maries, it is to be hoped that
he will at least come out of the
bushes and take prominent
part in the poliics of the city
and state. The aim of the Negro
should be to prove to the white
man in Richmond that he de-
mands more than a street clean
ers job and more than frequent
trash removals in Jackson
Ward in exchange for his vote.
There is a lesson between The
lines of the Editorial recently
carried in the News Leader, and

The EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY
CAMPAIGN.

The National Association for the
Announcements of Colored People is
about to launch campaign that GER
tainly merits the support of every
Negro child, parent and teacher in
every state in the union disgraced by
a separate school system.
Throughout the jim-crow school
section, the Negroes are robbed of
their proper proportion of the school
funds, the Federal government roOs
them of their proper proportion Of
federal appropriations and in practi-
cally every place where there are Sc
parate schools for .he so-called races
there is wide difference between the
salaries paid Negro teachers and
white teachers. In this way the white
group solidifies its superior social
ard economic position.
The N. A. A. c. P. plans to test
this policy of deliberate robbery of
the Negro child, teacher and parent
by filing suits simultaneously in the
federal courts in several southern
states, preceded by careful prepare
ton by legal experts. 1t is also
planned to launch an intensive cam
paign to educate the public on this
question of unequal educational OPP
portunities.
From four to ten times as much is
spent for white education as for Ne
gro education in all states where
there are separate schools. In the
very few places in the jim-crow belt
where the pay of white and colored
teachrs is equal, the school facilities
are not equal. The Negro child and
teacher is penalized to the extent in
Dictated purely on the basis of color
or African ancestry.
Here, we think, is a fight worth
fighting, and a fight in which every
Negro child, parent and teacher
should and must take part by helping
to supply the sinews of war. 1t is
i'll every sense a group fight. Vic
tory means more and better schools
for Negro children, larger salaries
for Negro teachers and the possible
availability of libraries now closed.

force the democratic party to
meet some Of his demands.
What The Negro Wants
Some white people are of the
opinion that the primary OBJ
ject of the Negro in polictics is
the securing of jobs, they are
haunted by the hallucination
that he wants to sit up in the
offices with white women and
men all around him; we must
say that such an opinion is ri
diculously erroneous. The Negro
wants the same treatment that
is accorded men of other races,
the same treatment accorded
to women of his race that is ac-
corded to women of all other
races, and the same privileges,
the same protection and the
same educational facilities for
his children that are accorded
children of other races. When
all these requirements are mt
b ywhite office-holders the bug
aboo of Negro office-holders will
cease to exist. Where ideal con-
ditions exist there is no cause
nor demand for a radical change.

FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING LAW.
Recent lynchings have spurred the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People to
draft a new Federal anti-lynching
bill for presentation in Congress.
One such measure, the Dyer Dill,
passed the House in 1922.
Those who urge such legislation
think the record of this year, sixteen
lynchings, four more than for all OF
1929, shows its need. But deplorable
as is the current record, 1t is not
proof that the lynching curve is per-
manently upward. There was a
sharp drop after 1922, and while
every year since has not exhibited a
progressive reduction, the average OF
the past eight years has been notably
low as compared with previous pc
riods.
Every extension of Federal power
within the jurisdiction of the several
states ought to be regarded as an
exception to the basic rule of the
American plan of government which
sought to distinguish, more or less
definitely, between the things which
are of the nation and those which
are properly of the states. Changing
conditions have necessitated changes
in that line of demarcation, but its
essential principle is sound and
should be preserved, to the point OF
vigorous defense against unnecessary
invasion of the states by Federal
power.
Whether or not it was the threat
of the Dyer bill that caused the de-
cline in the lynching record or the
more voluntary reaction of sentl-
ment in certain Southern States to
public condemnation of this wicked
crime, or whether it was change In
social and industrial conditions, it is
hard to say, or to what degree each
of these causes may have contrib
uted.
Renewal of the agitation for a
Federal anti-lynching law apparently
gives Iue SISdISI WSlShh w wiz va
ress of prospective Federal action
and assumes either that Federal law
is the only ultimate recourse, or that
it is time to show the "big silk"
again.
1t is at least reminder to states
and their governments that the sure
buttress against Federal invasion is
state efficiency in securing the end
desired. 1t holds true in nearly every
instance of Federal invasion. The
chief ground of every scheme for
Federal interference in states rights
is neglect of state duties by the
states.
When the several states punish
lynching -nobs, and officials that toll
crate them, as they deserve to be
punished, there will be no cry for
Federal legislation on the matter.
