his body mutilated with knives, riddled
with bullets and then dragged behind an
automobile for several miles and strung up
on tree in the yard of the courthouse

refused to lift finger to prevent the plans
of the lynchers, which were publicly an

Only after the lynchers had carried
through their hideous crime were Florida
guardsmen called out and then not against
the lynchers, but for use against indignant
local Negro workers, who sought both to
protest the lynch murder and to protect
their homes from the lynch gangs that had
begun to terrorize the Negro population,
raiding the Negro section of the town and
setting fire to several houses. Bud Gam
mon, another Negro, was arrested and
threatened with lynching for striking a
white man, Wallace Cook, in self defense.
Cook has not been arrested.

EVEN GREEN ADMITS MORE MEN
JOBLESS THAN A YEAR AGO

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Even Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor and good friend of
Roosevelt, had to admit today that unem-
ployment had increased more than 100000
during the last IL months. He issued a
statement saying that "the total number
at work in the United States was 39764,-
O0O in Sept. 1888; by Sept. 1884 it had de-
clined to 39,3670 900. During the twelve
months the normal increase in population
has added close to 100000 to the army of
job seekers for whom industry provides no
work. Thus the number without work in
industry has risen from 10,1O8,000 in Sep
TENDER 1888 to 10,951, 600 in September
1884"
That is Green's statement and it is
mighty conservative. And President Roose-
welt once again is getting tired of looking
for the way out. Again he is going on q
