I~nter-racial Commission
Endorses Federal Law

Washington, D.. C., May B.
The bombshell in the Senate
measure was the last minute en-
dorsement of a federal anti
lynching bill by the powerful
southern Commission on Inter-ra-
cial Cooperation Of Atlanta, which
heretofore had stood steadfastly
against federal legislation. The
commission met April 25th and
adopted a resolution f~avoring a
federal law which DR.. Will Alex
ander its director, promptly sent
to every southern senator and to
the press, as well as to Senator
CoStigan. The resolution declared
in part:
Disappointed by this record Of
impotence on the part Of state and
local officials, the commission
has reluctantly been forced to the
conclusion that little is to be ex-
pected from this source at least in
the immediate future, and that an
appeal to the federal courts in
such cases is justified and de-
manded by the conditions.

Anti-Lynch Law

Washington, May BIT is the
consensus OF opinion here that the
seven-day struggle for the pas
sage Of the Costigan-W Wagner anti
lynching bill raised the fight for
a federal law to a new high.
Although Senator Ellison d.;
Cotton, Ed Smith Of South Caro-
lima showed great joy when the
Senate finally voted adjournment,
the more intelligent Southern
solons did not entirely share his
jubilation. The reason for their
worry was the fact that the sup
posedly Solid South had been
split wide open by the fight.
Powerful southern newspapers
like the Macon Ca, Telegraph;
the Richmond Va. Times Dispatch,
The Greensboro n. @. Daily News,
and the New Orleans Item, had
denounced and repudiated the
filibuster in vigorous terms. Hun
dreds Of kilograms and letters
from powerful Southern groups
and individuals, both white and
colOred, favoring passage Of the
bill had deluged its senatorial
supporters. Senator CoStigan read

Congressional Record. 1t is con-

Attorney General Denies Jury
Exclusion of Negroes.

on the unconstitutional exclusion
of qualified Negroes from jury
was heard in the United States
Supreme Court Monday and Tues
day, April 29 and 80, in the ease
of jess HOllins VS.. State of Okla
homa. Hollins had been convicted
and sentenced to electrocution in
Okmulgee county, Oklahoma, for
the alleged rape of a white girl.
In the United States Supreme
Court the n. A. A. G. P.'s brief
showed that no Negro had ever
served on a jury In Okmulgee
county since Oklahoma became a
State in 1907, in spite Of the fact
that Negroes constituted seventeen
per cent Of the total population Of
the county and were fully quail
fled in every respect for jury
service. Neither the jury commits
sioners nor the sheriff had ever
called a Negro for jury duty.
At the trial the sheriff had tes-
titled they did not summon Ne
groes for jury duty although he
admitted there was a large num-
Der Of Negro voters in the county
and he personally knew some Of
them to be good citizens. One Of

Mother"
By R A Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
She may be old and wrinkled, now,
With times deep burrows On her brow,
The color faded from her cheek
She may be tremulous, and weak,
But, since she loves you, as no otheer,
Be kind and gentle with your mother.
Altho unlettered she may be,
Not Injured to society,
And may u~nswervingly refuse
To coincide with modern views,
And chides for one thing and another,
Remember still, she is your mother.
Remember what she is to you,
How kind, unselfsh, loyal, true,
She has been unto you, Away,
And, since the debt you cannot pay,
To her who loves as can no other,
Give honor due to your old motherl
