An Interesting Fact
Piracy and Slavery:


Much has been written in regard to
slavery in the Eastern United States,
the causes of its early increase as
well as thessattitude of Maryland to-
ward this once all-absorbing. question.
One of the angles mentioned lightly,
if at all, by a great many historians,
has been treated by Matthew Page
Andrews in his excellent history of
Maryland and possibly accounts for
the foothold the bondage of humans
secured in the early seventeen hun
dreds.
Under the Royal Governors. piracy
had grown to alarming proportions
and Colonial trade suffered severely.
Not only were trading vessels attack
ed, but plantations on the water
fronts plundered and the capital of
the State once threatened. which occa-
stoned the building of tine first fort
at Annapolis.
A number of these pirates were cap
tured in Maryland and sent to Eng
land for trial prior TO the establish
ment of admiralty courts in this Col
ony, while it was claimed that others
received protection from a neighbor-
ing Colony.
Piracy and slavery increased pro-
portionately in the same ratio, due,
possibly, to the fact that sea captains
found it safer to carry slaves than
cargoes of merchandise. Also, there
was apparently feeling of kinship
between them and the kidnappers of
African savages. Prior to the early
days of seventeen hundred the slaves
were first taken from their native
land to the West Indies and from
those Islands reimported into the
United States. But, becoming boil
der and perhaps feeling more secure
in their chosen profession, or perhaps
sensing that the institution of slav-
cry was becoming more strongly en-
trenched in the Colonies, Negro cap
tives were being brought direct from
Africa by these freebooters.
The first American SLAYER, built es-
pecially for the slave trade, was con-
structed in the Massachusetts Bay
Colony within two years after the
founding of Maryland, and by 1712 it
was estimated that of the $4,000 pop
ulation of Maryland, 5000 were Ne
groes. Slavery was growing by leaps
and bounds and we note that by the
middle of the 18th century the total
slave population of Virginia was over
half as large as that of the whites.
In South Carolina the blacks outnum-
bered the whites.
In Maryland the blacks were en-
ployed extensively in the cultivation
of tobacco, but there was very con-
siderable public sentiment in this
State, as well as in Virginia, against
the continuance of this traffic, which
led to the incorporation, by Thomas
Jefferson, in the original draft of the
Declaration of Independence, an ar
raignment of King George III for pro-
noting the traffic, .- 49,.
:. To the credit of Maryland, how
ever, it can be stated, that at no time
were her citizens engaged in the At
rican slave trade.

There Are Others

The pronpt declaration by Governor
leslie that some sort of relief, probably IN
the form of temporary work on roads, would
no furnished to farmers in the drought area
shows an advance sentiment as to the atU-
tude of society toward the unfortunate.
That the policy and lack of business fore
sight ON the part of the highway commission
has 50 dissipated the huge funds lntrusted
n that department makes the relief some
what dubious, does not detract from the
recognition by the state of the necessity OF
taking care Of large groups in need OF speciai
aid.
Ernphasis should be laid on the fact that
The relief is intended to answer the demands
nf human beings rather than restoration OIL
nropertv damaged by unfortunate natural
conditions.
When that policy is thoroughly recog-
nized. state officials may some day learn
that there are others beside the unfortu-
nate farmers who are in a very similar
condition.
There are drought periods for the IN
dustrial worker just as there are famine
periods for the farmer.
The start came with the collapse OF the
stock market in which the worker had no
chance to win, but did lose his job. Inc
number of unemployed is quite as large as
the number of farm sufferers. The census
report indicates very large number OF
wage earners who are as helpless to protect
themselves from lack of work as the farm
ers were unable to defend their crops from
lack of rain.
The jobless worker Is quite as much III
need of help as the cropless farmer.
The right to work is an inalienable right
A social organization that produces the du-
plicate of famine in agriculture must accept
its responsibilities, just as the state Is now
admitting duty to its farm population.
Demands upon township trustees Tor
charity are increasing. But charity Will not
answer the problem of the industrial worker
anv more than charity would be acceptable
TO the farmers in the southern areas.
When the Governors commission gets
through studying the needs on farms 1t
might turn its attention to the cities. Here,
TOO. is not only an opportunity but duty.

Another Labor War?

Are North Carolina officials and mill owners going
to turn another labor dispute into reign OF terror
or are they going to handle the situation mteh-
gently?
Five hundred workers, including all those in two
textile plants at Bessemer City, have gone on strike
They refuse to accept wage cut ranging from IN to
30 per cent
The sympathy of the country is bound to be with
the strikers because the country has been told by
no less an authority than President Hoover that wage
cuts are the worst thing that can happen to bust
ness in hard times.
Obviously, the principle of maintaining wage
standards as laid down by the Hoover conference
APPLIES with special force to low-wage industries
such as the textile industry in the south Existing
wages do not provide American standard OF living
Though dispatches do not state the average wage
nf the Bessemer City strikers, it can not be far out
of line with the s12 and S14 weekly wage for women
in southern textile plants reported by the United
States department Of labor.
OfHcials of the municipality. the state and the
federal government of course not responsible for
these evI-workng conditions. Nor is it the direct
OBLIGATION of such officials to intervene in indus
trial dispute on the side of the workers-other than
to enforce the inadequate laws on working condi-
tons.
But there is a direct obligation the part of off,
Gals 10 protect the civil liberties of both sides, which
means in effect to protect the civil rights OF the
weaker side. that is. the strikers.
Whether the strikers dispute with the employers
Is lust or unjust the strikers constitutional rights
citizens are inalienable ones which officials sworn
to enforce That the right Of free speech free
assemblage and security of person.
All this is so obvious and primary in the Ameri-
can system of orderly government that its restate-
,nent should be unnecessary. Unfortunately how
ever certain officials Of that particular textile district
and Of North Carolina have demonstrated in past
strikes their defiance of the American system of law
and justice.
The violence which ragged during the strikes in
that district last year precpitated by the law
lessness of employers and police. 1t ended in the
shooting of police chief general mob action against
strikers and the murder Of innocent woman
striker.
The trials resulting from that violence including
those which convicted strikers for murder, but
left unpublished the mob leaders and the murderers
of striker. we're for the most part conducted IN
justly.
Now North Carolina is thrown into industrial con-
fct again. The simple fact is that 500 citizens who
do not even belong to union much less to a radical
political organization, refuse to work without half-a
living wage. Are ocials and police going to protect
those citizens or prosecute them?
That is the public issue involved. And on that
issue North Carolina can not afford to lose much
more Of her reputation.
