A Story That Got Lost
By Daily Newspapers

do not believe that the removal
of outlaw viii appease the mob,
however. and they feel certain
that further lynchings will take
place.
The weekly newspapers Of the
county, IN which are located the
towns Of Barlow, Louisville. Wad
ley. and Wrens. have made no
mention OF the deaths Of these
men. The daily papers Of the
state have failed to report the
actions of the mob. and the
news-gathering agencies have
made no effort to report the
situation to their members in
other states. No local correspon-
dents for the dailies can be
found who have made reports,
perhaps because Of q rule in the
book Of instructions sent to To-
cal correspondents by the daily
newspapers of Georgia: IF a
white man Is murdered. tele-
graph it in; If Negro is muir
dered, mail it In"
Barlow is q town of four hun
dred persons. about half of
whom are Negroes. It is located
in a rich farming and numbering
district. Its institutions for white
people consist of a high school
and four churches-two Baptist,
two Methodist.

Sheriff Smith has promised to
appeal TO the Governor Of the
state Tor militia TO protect the
lives Of those Negroes In Barlow
who are alive today. If he thinks
additional lynching win take
place. At the present time, how
ever, there can be found no evil
dence to show that the mob In
tends 10 cease activities.
The fact that no arrests have
been made has been explained
here rs being due to the condi-
lions that make It extremely diff
ficuit to convict a white man IN
q local court on a Negroes word.

gan In Barlow during the early

the hours and pay clauses Of
the code were filed against the
Register Guiana Company. q fer
tilizer factory in Register. South
Carolina. This company. em-
ploying more than 90 colored
mzn, was stated to be paying
shem 10 cents an hour instead
of the code wage Of % cents;
and to be working these men %
hours week instead of the re-
quired maximum of 40 hours q
week. Two laundries, and a cot
ton waste mill In Spartanburg,
South Carolina, we're also inclu-
ded in the list Of violators. At
the waste mill, women were re-
ported to be earning less than
$3.50 for so hours work weekly.
Large Mills Offend
Three large cotton textile mills
were included In the list fur
nished the MIRA officials by Da-
Wis. They were the Loray Mill
in Gastonia. North Carolina; the
Locke Cotton Mil in Concord,
North Carolina; and the Meritas
Mil In Columbus. Georgia.
The Loray Mill was said to
have employed women in a
laundry owned by it at wages
below those set both in the
laundry code and the textile
code. The Meritas Mil was al
legged to have falsely classified a
number of its Negro workers to
avoid paying them code wages.
Davis further charged that T,
H. Webb of the Locke Cotton
Mil, who is also a local compli-
ance board member in Concord,
North Carolina, was guilty of Vi
olating the code for the textile
industry through false classifi-
cation Of Negro workers at the
Locke MIL. Immediate removal
of the MIRA official was demand
ed by Davis. Complaints against
saw mills in South Carolina, Ar
kansas and Florida were also
filed.
Most Of the cases reported to
the administration were those
personally investigated by the
Joint Committee official in his
trip South in November and De-
cember Of 1888. Other evidence
es Of startling discrimination un-
der the MIRA codes, are expected
to be released by him next week,
'as soon as they are compiled.

1t is against the law in the State
of New York to discriminate in

that Negro citizens make an APP
peal direct to Mayor La Guardia
to remove this color bar against

In his report, Allen also said
that the Home Relief Bureau of
the City of New York had DELHI
erately refused to employ color
ed workers in the Central Office
or in the Borough Offices.
Commenting on the fact that
trained Negro college girls had
not been able to secure positions

Relief Bureau, he said: There

CONFIDENCE FELT
AT STEEL PLANTS
Operations Decline a Point,
but Executives Forecast
Broad Upturn.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOclateo Ftesb.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 29.-
Although steel works operations DROP
ped point last week to 2512 per cent,
the magazine Steel said that steel
makers are confident the base is
being laid for much broader improve
ment."
Business appears to have discounted
the results of the November election" {"
the magazine commented, "and to be
making progress. In some instances
steel production schedules have been
stepped up in response to slight gains
in tonnage, and in preparation for
larger demands In the approaching
month.
Purchasing by small users with
fairly steady requirements has been
more consistent recently than from
large consumers, who have been speci-
flying in less-carload quantities to
round out stocks. With automobile
manufacturers nearing the starting
line on 1885 assemblies, more activity
in farm implement, stove and radiator
manufacture, tonnage buyers are be-
coming more OF factor in the markets.
November Is expected to develop
further recession in production Of
present automobile models, but will
mark a definite beginning on new
models by leading manufacturers"
Steel said that the Navys purchase
Of 565 tons of plates and bars at the
open market prices bid August 20
attested the Governments acceptance
Of steel prices. Contracts for 1000
tons Of plates for the Navy will be
| awarded this week.
Railroads appear to be retrenching
despite a l per cent reduction in
interest charged for Government
loans, the magazine said, but Norfolk
g. Western has issued a tentative
inquiry for 10000 tons of rails for
delivery next year.
Steers iron and steel price COM
posite is up cents to $32.l2, and the
iron and steel scrap composite has
advanced II cents to 1854.
