Brutality and Peonage in Mississippi
Area

Washington-(CNS) - Determined
to stamp out evil and prejudiced con
ditions among Negro contract labor
engaged on Federal construction pro-
jects, representatives of the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People held a conference here
last week with Brigadier General
c. B. Pillsbury, Assistant Chief Of
Army Engineers, and laid before him
factual evidence to s~ubstantiate their
recent charges that a condition of
virtual peonage existed on the Miss
issippi RiverS Flood Control project"
Walter White, executive secretary
Of association, and Miss Helen Board
man, white, who was the associations
special Investigator in the Mississippi
area, were present at the conference.
the meeting by General Pillsbury, who
said that the meeting was not in the
nature Of a hearing, since none of the
contractors accused of brutality and
peonage were to be present.
However, an advance statement
giving an abstract of Miss Boardman's
testimony before the War Department
official was released by the National
Association. Miss Boardman was for
merly an investigator for the Ameri-
a Red Cross. An article written by
her in the Crisis revealing unfair
treatment of Negroes by Red Cross
units is said to have led to her dis
missal.
According to the N. A. A. C. P.
statement Miss Boardman visited %
contractors camps along the Mississ-
ippi River and in all of them she
found "unspeakable conditions. with
brutality the rule"
The admissions of white contractors
and foremen, Miss Boardman said.
c~orroborated the charges made by the
Negroes, whom she described as terri
fled and afraid to talk.
"They would talk to me only if no
white people other than myself were
in sight, and then only if introduced
by some n whom they knew" Miss
Boardman said.
Brutality in the camps is the rule.
In one place the contractor, a man Of
particularly violent temper, was re-
ported as having picked up a club and
knocked a worker down simply be-
cause he did not like the way he looked
at him. Women were beaten for not
having meals ready on time. Two
men were beaten and discharged for
refusing night work after having
worked all day.
"Some of the contractors and fore
men were armed with rifles. I saw
them myself. The heat was terrific.
The men were driven in a temperature
of 120 degrees in swamps filled with
mosquitoes.

THREE MICHIGAN
CANDIDATES

Ordinarily the race would have
cause for rejoicing over the winning
Of three such major nominations as
two republican candidates for the
state senate and one republican candi-
date for congress, but not 50 this
year, especially when the recent pri-
mary vote is thoroughly a~nalayzed.
The Omaha guide., 1932-10-01

In the newly reapportioned first
congressional district, Charles H. Ma
honey. lawyer and insurance executive
Of Detroit, won the nomination with
a plurality Of about two thousand
votes but securing only a third of the
total party votes. Add to this fact
that the democrats polled twice as
many votes as the republicans and
ver fifteen times as many demo-
Gratis votes were cast than in the pre-
vious primaries and you are forced to
picture a gloomy outlook for our race
candidate.
The Omaha guide., 1932-10-01

In the second senatorial district,
DR.. 0. H. Sweet Detroit. won the
plurality vote but securing less than
half Of the party votes, while the
democrats polled twice as many
votes as the republicans and over
twenty timas as many democratic
votes cast than in the last primaries,
SC, again, u candidates possibilities
are dimmed.
The Omaha guide., 1932-10-01

Senator Charles A. Roxborough, of
the third senatorial district, and a
leading lawyer Of Detroit, won his re-
domination with a more favorable
showing than the two other candidat-
es. The Senator not only won the
republican plurality but he also re-
ceived about sixty-five per cent Of
the total republican votes cast. Even
50, however. the democratic threat
IN his district is quite apparent, for
the democrats polled more votes than
the republicans whereas in the pre-
vious primaries the democrats showed
less than one tenth of their present
strength.
The Omaha guide., 1932-10-01

Therefore, on the basis of what has
already t~ranspired, Senator Roxbor-
ough appears to be the only candi-
date with a probability Of winning in
the November elections. The other
two candidates, ike the Senator.
must not only garner all the race
votes but they must fight for their
y party votes and also combat the
ven greater threat Of the democrats
who, particularly in Detroit, are rap
idly gaining in power and influence.
We must look these facts in the face
and fight to overcome them. if such
Is possible, not withstanding that the
democrats are in the ascendency-
ever in Michigan.

Two other colored candidates fin
ished as "runner-ups". H. Percival
Thompson, a second to DR.. Sweet,

Senator ROxborough. DR.. James w.

congressional race and ran fourth ,

Big Freighter Subs. For Mogul

The Coastwise Steamship Company freighter Fl Cedro tied up at the Hyder dock for short while Wednesday even- ing while securing clearance for Stewart, where the big 4000-ton vessel took on a load of Premier ore for the Tacoma shelter.
 The appearance of the big vessel here was due to the Mo- gull being pressed into service to hurry a load of copper ore from Anyox to the Tacoma shelter before the new U. $. tax on copper imports became effective. It is understood that the Ell Cedro will make only the one trip before the Mogul returns to the run again.

Letters Are Being Mailed To De-

Approximately two thousand letters
are being mailed this week to all de-
linquent taxpayers of the county re-
questing prompt payment of taxes due
for 1881. A copy of the advertisement
appearing in The Republican in re-
gard to delinquent taxpayers is en-
closed in the letter sent by Treasurer
Jesse J. Ashby.
The letter points out that prompt
payment of taxes means a saving by
the taxpayer of six per cent interest
thereon after January 1; more prompt
payment of the STAGES and county's
financial obligations; less borrowing
of money by governmental agencies
and therefore saving of interest
charges for the taxpayers; each coun-
ty tax year kept separate and in
tact; less pressing upon the taxpay-
ers, since the taxes for 1882 will be
it is easier to pay one years taxes
due after July 1, and it is agreed that
than two.
There is yet about 100000 to be
collected on taxes for the year 1881.
