Secetary Of War Regrets Letter
Written by Gen. Brown, Southerner

New York, Sept Patrick j.
Hurley, Secretary of War, has
given his personal assurance to the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
here that if an investigation of
the charges of virtual slavery
IN the flood control camps along
the Mississippi river shows the
conditions to exist, action will be
taken by him to apply the neces-
sary remedies.
Secretary Hurley's letter to
Walter White, secretary of the
Association came Immediately af-
ter Mr.. White had sent a sharp
reply to a letter of General Brown
expressing amazement at General
Browns tacit approval of condi-
tons outlined in the report.
The General attempted to be-
little the reports Of brutality by
saying that no names and adj
dresses e given of men beaten.
He knows this is lodging the is
sue because it is worth a Negro s
life to tell about beatings in these
camps with names and dates. In
stead of meeting the issue square
iy, General Brown suggested
that the Negroes along the river
take their eases To the courts.
White Flags Gen. Brown
In a scathing letter of reply,
Walter White flayed General
Browns attitude saying:
The tone Of your reference to
this report distinctly indicates an
attitude Of hostility which, to
say the least, is most astounding
in an employee of the United
States government. "A detailed
report of inhumanly long hours,
OF vicious exploitation and Of
brutality in the treatment of Ne
groeS employed in the MISSISSIPPI
pi flood control project, which is
financed by federal funds. is sub
mitted to the President who refers
1t to you, as the responsible auth
Ority for action. This report is
made by an organization Of TWEEN
ty-three years reputation for
careful and accurate investig-
atoms. Instead of a courteous re-
ception with an attitude of will
lngneSs to correct these condit-
ions which are easily verifiable,
Your letter shows an eagerness.
which is almost amazing, to attack
the report instead Of the condi-
tiOnS complained of
Exploiting Defenseless Workers
We are astounded", the let
ter continued, ''to read your ad-
mission and tacit approval of the
low wage scale and long hours
mentioned in the report. Such
an admission, coming from the
Chief Engineer of the War Depart
ment is increditable in view Of
the propaganda of the Federal
government at the present time
for not only shorter hours, but for
the five day week. At a time
when unemployment is the major
problem Of the day, one certainly
would expect an enlightened gov
eminent to do what it could to-
ward ~lessening unemployment by
the hiring Of more men on pro-
jects Of this sort instead Of ex-
plotting defenseless workers."

Fourth avenue south.
Sitting around the brightly glowing

20 young people decided all at once
to form social club especially for the

present readily approved.

Howard Martin, Prince of Royal En-

NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK

While the great majority of white
men in the south still voice the tradi-
tional southern sentiment regarding
the bugaboo of social equality" and
excusing all forms of injustice and
cruelty usually resulting in lynching,
by declaring "we must protect our
women" This phrase has been the
great rallying cry and the medium by
which the white men of Dixie could
carry on their outrages against any
helpless Negro who might be falsely
or unfairly accused. But it seems the
women of the South are making up by
speaking out loud in condemning the
actions of their men. We copy from
the DEFENDER the following ex-
tract showing what the good white
women of Mississippi, one of the chief
lynch states have to say:
"From the state of Mississippi
comes press announcement that
thousands of white women in 460
counties have gone on record to end
mob violence and lynching. This is
indeed welcome news and hopeful
sign that white women of the South
are tired of the men Of their own race
impugning their good names by false
charges.
"Too often have charges of rape in
the South been used by the whites to
run black men away from their prop
erty and from their families. To
those who know and understand So
ciap conditions below the Mason and
Dixon line little credence is put in the

Personalities
By Nellie Dodson

Last Friday that rain started just
in time to catch all of the University
students who were making 9:30
classes. In the P. o. everyone was
covering books and papers with al
most anything as long as the precious
volumes of knowledge were protected
from the downpour. One sister with
an armful of intelligence carefully
wrapped up in Minnesota Daily, was
struggling with one of those antique
umbrellas. The blame thing just
WOULDN'T open. A chivalrous young
man all bundled up in trench-coat
took in the sad event with pitying
eyes. He was so touched that he of
fered to try his luck at launching the
WATERPROOF. After a lot of yanking
and tugging, Sir Gallahad finally got
the open sesame to the combination,
and the umbrella, partly opened, was
handed to the fair damsel. When our
heroine got outside of the P. o. she
tried to expand the trouble-maker to
its rightful proportions, but the rain
catcher didn't choose to expand any
further than about three-fourths of
a half. Evidently something was
stuck in the mechanism or something
else The last glimpse l had of the
owner of the slightly oldish umbrella
she was walking under the tent-like
affair with the best grace she could
muster. The rain was sliding gaily
off the sides, and although the outfit
made the gel look as if she were loco

waste-paper basket turned upside
down, the BOOKS were safe and dry

"This question of social equality,
about which we hear so much hue and
cry, was introduced by the white man
himself, and, as a matter of fact, he
has spread his progeny all over the
nation. That he should speak of So
cial equality is to laugh with derision,
as yearly there are hundreds of cases
of actual rape committed by white
men on Race women in the South that
officers of the law will not even in
vestigate.
"These cases rarely reach the south
ern newspapers, and when they do, are
generally hidden among the advertise
ments. Just few days ago a white
man in Birmingham, Ala, was ac-
cused of raping 12-year-old girl,
but the police didn't consider it wor-
thy of an investigation. Had the
racial identity of the principals been
reversed the crime would have been

great land of the free

women of the South have awakened
to the social affairs of their men.
Their fight will restore to some ex-
tent the responsibility of the South; it
will also serve to protect our Race
from lynching and additional bas-
tardy.
There can be no doubt but that if
