HERNDON CASE TO
SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA - The extreme sem
tence of eighteen to twenty years
on the chain gang, melted out to
Angelo Herndon, 10, on a charge
of melting to riot, will be appealed
to the United States Supreme
Court by the International Labor
Defense, assisted by the American
Civil Liberties Union.
The statute under which Hern-
don was convicted was originally
passed in 1888, following the Nat
Turner slave uprising in Virginia.
In 1866, the Georgia legislature en-
acted it's Black Codes. AS a part
of them, the old 1888 statute, PEN
alizing instruction among slaves,
was made to apply to the newly
freed coiored persons and to agita-
tors who went South to inform
the race about its new preroga-
tives of citizenship.
The basis of the appeal will be
unconstitutionality of the old sta
tute; the exclusion of colored per-
sons from the jury; the exhibitions
of prejudice during the trial and
the lack of evidence to sustain the
verdict.

NEGRO MIGRANTS
ARE DENIED WORK
IN NEW JERSEY.

CAMDEN, N. ]. - Available
jobs in the farm and industrial
belts OF South Jersey must be re-
served for whites only" This is
the edict of local city and county
officials who, at tho request Of the
white families and organizations in
several towns, moved to stem the
tide of Negro migrant labor from
the South.
Forty-two colored laborers from
Virginia were ordered back to that
state from Hightstown last Friday
and escorted by State police to the
Camden bridge. The men were
imported into South Jersey by la
Dor agents for the potato harvest.
Another group of colored labor
ers, some 200 in all, including wo-
men and children, have been sent
back to the South by local author
tiles in the farm belts during the
week. Some of the laborers came
from as far as Florida, Georgia,
and South Carolina.
According to State police, the
steady influx of transient labor has
presented a problem both social
and economic. The workers ar
rive penniless and are forced to
shift for themselves. Unable to
find immediate employment after
having been lured to the State by
labor agents acting for the potato
growers. The newcomers are fore
ed to camp in woods, lumber yards,
parks and railroads, depots, re-
sorting to petty larceny and dis
order when their condition becomes
precarious.
Police also minated that mi
grant Negro labor is a fertile field
for the agents of Communism and
pointed to the recent Seabrook
farm riots in which several color
ed men and women were injured.
Local white residents in the
farming belts of South Jersey,
through their churches and organ
izations have brought pressure to
bear upon the officials to close the
doors of employment to Negro mi
grants.

"Disrespectful''


BEATEN UNTIL DEAD with q
heavy leather strap because he
talked "disrespectfully' to a white
man. That is the story coming
out Of Mississippi concerning To-
year-old Henry Bedford.
The news account does not re-
port what the aged man said to
his four murderers" in order to
be punished with death. But there
was a dispute concerning the rent
due. Perhaps the old man said he
owed less than the landlord al
legged was his due.
The old man was born in slav-
cry. He was wen thought of by
all those who knew MIN in the
little Mississippi town. Beaten to
death because he talked back to
a white man. Those who killed
him are known to the sheriff. They
are under arrest. The betting is
a hundred to one they win go free.

BROOKLYN, N. Operating
in the great metropolitan area is
one of the largest Negro slave
markets in America, which the
police seem powerless to break up.
Girls between the ages Of 10
and 1e are being lured to New
York daily and turned over to this
market to become members of the
Oldest profession In the world.
Coming to New York from all
parts Of the country are young
girls and young women to answer
Turing advertisements offering do
nestle jobs in the New York area.
Agents throughout the country
are working hand in glove with
the operatives in New York and
receive from seven to eight dollars
apiece for the girls that they send
to New York. These agents in the
various localities offer to secure in
New York jobs for those that an
swer their advertisements
The women are accepted and
sent to New York. They may work
for a month or two months, but
for the most part they are dis
charged at the end of three or four
weeks and then left stranded with
out friends or money. From the
time the girl first arrives in New
York. until she is discharged, she
is under the watchful eyes of the
New York operatives and when
she is discharged they begin their
work.
There are certain homes that are
linked with the group that make
q practice Of employing these girls
fresh from the country. The peo-
pie that hire them are paid money
with which to pay the girls and
after time they are informed
that lhsy must discharge them.
Sent To Agency
When the girls first arrive in the
city they are sent to an employ
ment agency that sends them out
in the company of young man or
woman to their first place Of en-
ployment. Going to the job the
'creepers' put across their spiels,
which for the most part, consist
of telling the girls that on their
nights off they viii show them
parts of the town.
These girls all have beautiful
bodies. but very little, If any, edu-
cation, and it isn't long before the
thrills and excitement of the big
city has its hold upon them. On

SUBDUE
RIOTERS AFTER
ALL MITE BATTLE

PHILADELPHIA Especially
Philadelphia's Ridge Avenue mar
ket district in which thousands of
Negroes live, was a battle ground
Wednesday night IS marauding
bands of white toughs attacked
colored residents.
A gang known as the Forty
Thieves" composed mostly of It
alians, roamed a six-bIocix area in
the district, smashing windows IN
stores and dwellings md beating
Negroes caught in streets.
The flare-up started following
an attack on a colored woman by
an Italian pool-room lounger. The
woman was seized as she passed
the poolroom and was dragged in
side where she was criminally as
sallted. She staggered to the
streets and gave an alarm which
brought scores of Negroes TO the
scene. Police made an investiga-
ton and reported they were unable
ID find he woman's atta sers. In
censed at the police failure to
make arrests the crowd Of Negroes
stormed the pool room wreclzing
the interior and attacked the white
loungers in the place. After an
half-hour battle the police dispers-
ed the crowd. Later in the eve
ming the Italian gang known as
the Forty Thieves" began an at
tack on colored people in the dis
trict. The marauders threw bricks
through windows of homes, and
looted colored stores. A riot call
brought squads of police to the dis
trict and they were successful in
dispensing the white gang but re-
ported that they were unable to
arrest any of the Forty Thieves"
Feeling in the Negro section ran
high and an attack was made on
the police.
Armed with clubs, stones and
milk bottles, 5000 Negroes battled
more than 400 police throughout
the night Fighting ceased at ear
ly dawn with the arrival of several
hundred militiamen.
Fourteen policemen were sent to
hospitals with fractured skulls and
20 Negroes were arrested. When
arraigned in police court Friday,
the colored men were each fined
$40 for r~~ticipating in a riot. The
men, unable to pay the fines. were
discharged after several hours be-
hind the bars. The neighborhood
is still under heavy police guard.

NEWS REPORTS in last weeks
Enterprise told Of the story Of the
marriage Of Mareie" Mae Bailey.
white. age IS, to Roosevelt VIII
liams, 20. The items declared that
Margie's mother threatened vio-
lence tc her son-in-law, who she
said helped her daughter to put her
age up in order to get a marriage
license.
Over 30 miles of mountains
went an AMP reporter and cam
era man last week to look into
this strange case.
They found that the girl and her
mother occupied Q three-rooms one
story shack near the city dump.
The central object in the front
room was q wash tub.
There the mother-in-law and the
colored man lived. He paid the
rent and beat her when SO inclined.
Their relationship is implied.
As the daughter grew up, the
rolored boss of the house transfer
red his affections from the mother
to the daughter, and to stop all
argument, married her.
MANIFEsTLY. legal marriage
is better than common law ar
rangement which previously exist
ed, but Uniontown aas a district
attorney who THINKS colored-white
marriages are bad. so we have the
honeymooners jailed, charged with
a lot Of high sounding offenses,
which, under other circumstances,
would be overlooked and quashed.
The whole thing boils down 70
the fact that q white girl and q
colored man wanted to get married
so badly they couldn't wait till
she was five years older. or until
she could get her mothers consent.
Despite all the difficulties in the
way, Margie summed It up cor
rectIy when she said: I'm not the
first to marry a colored man, nor.
the last
