Proposed F or
Maryland

Annapolis MIR. tCNS) "A special
session of the General Assembly Oh
the State of Maryland opened
last Thursday. November %, and
the day was marked by the intro
duction of 15 miscellaneous bills
and five liquor measures.
Among the miscellaneous bills
was one on lynching introduced by
Delegate Oliver Metzeratt of Prince
Georges County, who represents
the lower house of the Mary
land Legislature. approximately
60, 600 persons, of whom about
$4,000 are Negroes. Mr.. Metzeratt
In speaking OF the anti-lynching
bill said it would no doubt prove
a controversial measure but that II
embodied his own ideas on the
subject.
An unusual feature of the bill
prohibits persons who have formed
or expressed any opinions in fav-
oring lynching from serving on
iuries which try lynching cases.
The measure aims to abolish
lynching chiefly by making coun-
ties and cities liable to the extent
OF $4,000. when a crime OF this type
occurs within their borders.

emption from the wage scale con-
tanned in the code for the textile

one which saused the Rev. f. d..
Hughes to be driven from Selma
when he refused to endorse a low
scale of wages for Negroes under
the n. r. A. The same company
has been working it's colored en-
ployees IL hours day for a wage
of about cents an hour. 1t failed
to get it's low wage into the general
code for the industry and now
seeks to be exempted from the code
scale so 1t can continue to pay
colored people starvation wages. f..
]. Ames, president of the company,
visited Washington recently and
became so abusive of the N. II. A.
officials in trying to get special
wage scale for his Negroes that he
was forcibly put out OF the office
of a high government official. Pro-
tests against the exemption Of the
