A New Union

THE POLICY Of discrimination
against colored workers by the A.
merlcan Federation Of Labor leads
to the organization Of a railroad
union open to colored men.
Obviously two unions instead Of
one will weaken the cause Of la
Dor. Instead Of united front to
deal with labor problems there win
be two. thereby giving employers
chance to divide and rule"
The American Federation of La
hor must place the blame on its
own, head.
Eolored men and women may
not be condemned for giving their
influence and power to a new UNI
ion which does not practice dis
elimination. In fact if they don't
try to sustain and strengthen an
organization which win work for
their advancement they are stupid.
Organized labor has been curs-
ed, weakened, and in some instanc-
es made ineffective because of its
policy Of for white workers only"
Workers white and black have
a common problem, the right to a
fair days pay for fair days la
Dor, but prejudice has prevented
its attainment
The organization Of q new un-
ion is The direct fruit of discrim-
nation. Some day the American
Federation Of Labor win see its
mistake aud permit all workers to
join hands for the benefit Of La
Dor black and white.

VICTIMS TAKEN
FROM OFFICERS
ON WAY TO TRIAL

VICKSBURG, Miss. Especial
Prominent Mississippi white won-
Ell aroused by alarming increase
of Iynchings during 1894 and the
killing of two Negroes Monday
while in custody of officers met in
conference here Wednesday and
adopted resolution requesting
President Roosevelt and the Gov
errors of Southern states to devel-
OPP a cooperative plan for eradicat-
ing this evil.
The women condemned the lyn-
ching of two Negroes near Ash
land Monday and charged deputy
sheriffs did not use proper precau-
ton to protect their prisoners. The
resolution demanded the Governor
order a thorough probe of the case.
The victims were Robert Jones
and Smith Houey. They were be-
ing brought here for trial for the
murder of Connis Gillespie more
than year ago.
Near Murder Scene
The tree from which they were
hanged was only $50 yards from
the spot where Deputy Sheriff
Mark Mason was slain while fnves-
tigating Gillispie's death.
Jones was taken from two depu-
ties while being brought here from
Tupelo and Houey was taken from
two other deputies while being
brought from Holly Springs.
The mobs were mashed and de-
puties said they die 1ot recognize
any of the men. Sheriff r. H. Hud-
speth said he would do his best to
find the guilty parties" and Dis
trict Attorney Fred Relk promised
rigid investigation"
Judge T. C. Pegram, opening the
court which was to have tried the
Negroes, ordered the grand jury
to make thorough investigation.
The sheriff said the lynchings
had apparently been carefully
planned with every road leading
into the town blocked by mobs.
Gillispie was robbed, slain and
his property set af.re and burned
July 2, 1898. While investigating
the killing, Deputy Sheriff Mason
went to Jones' house, and was fat
ally wounded by Jones, who said
he had not known it was an officer
who was attempting to enter his
house,
Court Upsets Verdict
Jones was convicted and sen
fenced to hang, but in a widely
discussed opinion the supreme
court reversed the findings and or
dered a new trial.
The high court held that a mans
home however humble is his cas-
tie" and that the officer had no
right to invade Jones' property
without a search warrant.
The district attorney said he had
a confession signed by the two Ne
groes in which they admitted that
they killed Gillispie.
