Anti-Lynching Bill
introduced; Aimed
To Balk Protests
L e al Lynchings Like
ScOttsboro Are
Ignored
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)


DAILY Worker Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a bill pur-
porting ito secure to persons within
the jurisdiction Of every state the
equal protection Of the laws and TO
punish the crime of lynching" was in
PRODUCED yesterday by Senators Ed
ward P Costigan Democrat, Colo)
and Robert 2. Wagner Dem, N. ".
It will be introduced in the house
soon, and has excellent chances Of
being acted on at this session Of
Congress.
1t is sponsored by the reformist
leadership of the National Assccia-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The liberal" legislators who are
pressing the bill claim that it would
be deterrent to lynching, but actu-
ally it is designed to halt the increas-
ing clamor of revolutionary protests
by white and Negro workers against
lynchings both in and outside of
lass-justice court-rooms. Frame cups
such as the Scottsboro trials, are ut
terly ignored by the bill.
II would declare that if any state
or government subdivision failed, ne
elected or refused to provide protec-
ton against lynching, it would be
deemed to have denied equal protec-
! ton of the law"
Must Prove Neglect OF Officers
The bill would provide that Fed
eral District courts prosecute par
| ticipators in lynchings on the condi-
ton that a showing first be made
to the court that officers neglected
TO punish the offenders, or that
Jurors obtainable for service in the
state court having jurisdiction. s. are
so strongly opposed to such punish
ment that there is no probability that
those guilty.. can be punished in
such state court"
1t would declare that any state Of
ficer or employee who failed to pro-
tect an individual from being injured
or put to death" by ANY mob OF
riotous assemblage" guilty of felony
punishable by a $1,000 fine or I'M
prisonment not exceeding five years
or both.
The bill defines mob or riotou:
aSsemblage" as ian assemblage COM
posed Of three or more persons act
ing in concert, without authority OF
law for the purpose Of depriving any
! person of his life or doing him
physical injury" It would place q
penalty OF imprisonment for from
five years to life on conspiracy by g
state officer in open lynching, and
would make any county in which one
occurred liable to a forfeit OF $4,000
for the use Of the family of the VIC
tim.

FTTURE OF MONEY

According to President Roosevelts s
idea. the American dollar is to be
so stabilized that it will contain not
more than 60 cents worth of gold
and not less than so cents. The
average American citizen is COM
pleteIy bewildered by this money
question. He does not care how
much gold his dollar will buy, pro-
vided it continues to buy 100 cents
worth of goods at the stores.
Many authorities say it still buys
more than 100 cents worth. and that
prices are still too low. That is
probably true, but when they get
prices up to a normal point, they
should look out that they don't keep
on going up. If they climb as they
did after the Civil War. howl would
rise that would shake the nation.
Milford chronicle., 1934-02-16
INTELLIGENT BUYING

To get good results in anything,
we need full information about the
thing we are doing. If people are
going to handle money intelligently,
they must know something about the
things they are buying. But they
will usually buy without such in
formation, unless the stores make it
q practice to give some information
about their goods by advertising.
In town where the stores have
formed the advertising habit. people
look through the business notices
TO get an idea what goods are selling
for, what kinds give the best satis-
faction. Money will go farther in
such community. And people real
ize this, and feel that they buy most
when they go to the
places that have described their
goods in advance in the newspapers.

QUALITIES OF WASHINGTON

What were some of the principal
traits of character that made George
Washington, whose memory we all
celebrate on February %. such a
cOnsummate figure?
One such quality was his habit of
thorough work. At the age of only
1G years, he was appointed a public
surveyor, and he did work of lasting
value in surveying vast tract Of
land in the then wild Allegheny
mountains. Before accepting any
task. he always informed himself
thoroughly about the duties of that
Job. To qualify himself to survey all
that wild land. lie must have studied
through his limited school days with
a degree of earnestness which the
average modern child does not mani
fest.
The boy or girl who goes at the
task of today in that spirit of thor
Oughness, of determination TO know
all that is known about that job,
may not be any George Washington,
but that person is always going to
rise above the crowd.
Another great quality of Washing
ton was his sense of justice and
fairness. Political parties soon
started to form when he became
president. but he refused to ally
himself with either of them. He
called representatives of the two
great groups into his cabinet. He
never could have commended the
support of men of these differing and
factions and elements.
unless it was felt that he was dis
posed TO be fair and just to all
1t is not desirable today that men
and women should refuse to ally
with political parties. /
But if we can catch that spirit of .
airness and justice that made /
what lie was, the bit
erness of party and sectional strife
will die out, and no element of pco-
bic can claim that they are Forgot
en- mcn."

VISITING THE SCHOOLS
YES, NOW "

Mrs. Franklin ID. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Henry MOrgenthau. Jr., went
out the other day visiting the schools
in the city of Washington. They
wanted to see what the schools were
accomplishing on their tremendous
task.
II is an example which parents
should follow more generally. Peo-
pie claim to be tremendously inter
ested in the schools. but relatively
few of them enter these places to
observe their work. We depend up
on the intelligence of the voters to
act wisely on school questions, but
how are they going to act wisely,
if they never see the inside of a
school house, and do not know what
they talk about in school classes?

THE YELL0M STREAK !.

The worst feature of American
life at this moment is not unemploy-
ment or a sub-normal Level Of in
dustrial activity. These conditions
are very temporary. they are already
passing. and we have a fairly clear
idea OF the remedies which will
finally get rid of them.
The thing that should really cause
us alarm is the tendency toward dis
honesty that has made itself felt In
business. in politics, In the affairs
OF daily life. In its extreme aspects
it has produced the worst outbreak
OF crime that any civilized country
has ever experienced. But innumer-
able people who would not commit
any violent crime, seem ready to
cheat in a small way.
The idea has become impregnated
in many peoples minds. as respects
dishonesty, that "Everybody's doing
it" When that feeling exists, many
people say they might as well get
their share. So they proceed to
grab anything in reach regardless
it is honest or not. The
idea that you must get money. no
matter how you get it. and that the
only harm in dishonesty is in get
ting found out, breaks down the
morale of innumerable people.

POORLY FED CHILDREN

Frances Perkins, secretary Of
labor. estimates there are 100000
children VINO are poorly nourished.
Lack of proper nourishment can
not he attributed wholly to hard
times. Some housewives do not
know how TO cook. nor how to mako
their money produce the maximum
results in nutrition. But of course
lack of employment is the principal
cause of this undernourishment We
have too many pale faced children,
due to lack Of food. Yet the farms
are said to be producing too much.
A civilization has serious defects
when it can't provide enough food
for all its children. The young per-
son with feeble body won't be able
to carry his or her share of the COM
load.

THIS SETTLING MORLb

All over the world the people are
in a state of unrest. complaining
against existing conditions. The
most dramatic unsettlemcnt just now
is in France. There the people have
been rioting against the government.
in a chaos of contending elements.
There are the Monarchists. who
want to go back TO the rule OF kings.
Communists. who demand the die
tatorship of the proletariat, the
Fascists. who want 4 different kind
of dictatorship.
Shall we have such outbreaks in
the United States? There is no in
dication of it. We have had our
troubles. but our people are taking
hold of the grievances that cause
outbreaks. and doing their best to
settle these questions fairly. In
view of the earnest desire of the
American people to assure justice to
all men. it is certain that we shall
come through our troubles with our
flags flying high.

Milford, Friday, February 16, 1893.
ONE BILLION SAVED

State and municipal expenditures
have been reduced $1,OOO,OOO, 900
from the high peak, according to the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
This result has been achieved in the
face of large increases in the cost
of public relief.
The people have become aroused
about the excessive cost of govern
ment. Taxpayers associations have
been formed in most states. When
large expenditures were proposed a
few years ago. few conservative
old timers might bewail extrava-
gance, but there was no organized
protest. The people who demanded
increased expenditure were far more
numerous.
Today people are groaning about
their tax bills. They write to their
legislators and they appear before
municipal boards and officers.
Many forms of excessive public eX-
penses are still tolerated. But the
reduction already accomplished
demonstrates that the people can al
ways get relief if they make an ef-
fort. In good times people grOwl
and growl. but they do nothing. But
when hard times come. they become
active. If the government is eXtrav-
agant, the trouble is always that the
people have failed to insist on econ
Omy.
III good times wasteiul practices
grow up. When a family finds its
income reduced, it usually discovers.
unless it had before reached the pow
erty line, that money can be saved.
Many families that were not pre-
viOusly satisfied unless they had the
most costly cuts of meat. discover
that you can get very good dinner !
out of soup meat and vegetables. 1t .
is the same in running Il state or
city.

EARLY ADJOURNMENT OF
CONGRESS-

According to reports from Wash
ington, President Roosevelt wants
Congress to adjourn early and 90
home. Hopes are expressed that il
can finish its work by April l.
Whether there is reason for it or
not, business has always been some
what fearful of Congress. Even if
i. was considered probable that the
national Legislature would on the
whole act wisely. there always
uncertainty about new laws. PeO-
pie do not like TO invest money un-
til they know what effect such new
legislation will have on business.
This uncertainty hampers economic
progress. If Congress terminates
this hesitation by adjourning at an
early date this year. the people will
be glad.

NODERNTzING HOMES

A bill is likely to be presented to
Congress soon, which would provide
loans for repair and modernizatiOn
of homes. There are millions of
people who desire to undertake such
renOvations. e But the majority of
them have no money for that pur-
pose.
II many of them could be assisted
to undertake such improvements, it
would give a big boost to the build
ing trades. The family in shabby
old home lacking modern improve
Iments would feel new hope and
courage. if it could spruce up and
get these changes that save time and
money. 1t would be like taking some
man out of ragged clothes, and put
ting a nice new suit on him.

WAITING FOR THE GROuNDHOG

The nation smiles aloud on Feb
ruary 2. as it watches for the ground
hog to make his alleged annual ex-
cursiOn, and decide whether the
sight of his shadow tells him to re-
tire to his hole and prepare for six
weeks more of winter.
Do animals possess perceptions
not given to human beings, by which
they can foretell the weather? The
old-timers believed so. The scien-
lists apparently do not believe it.
The Milford Chronicle can not set
tie this controversy, but considering
how the weather has been cutting
up of late. the grounding would
seem to show excellent judgment il
he retires to his hole.
Milford chronicle., 1934-02-16
BUSINESS m LARGER UNITS

1t seems probable that business in
future will be done in larger units.
People look for lower prices and
more efficient service, consequently
they must expect to depend upon
stores doing business OF consider
able size. so that their volume of
business is large enough to produce
economies.
When you get a large volume of
trade in any line. the dealer should
be able to sell goods at lower prices,
because his overhead and operating
expense is less for each article sold.
The way to get that volume of trade
is through advertising, which brings
new customers to any store. and
the interest Of those who
have been its customers previously.
