Membership in the union is COM

In addition to the fiat increase in

The negotiations according to

Catholic Leader
. Discusses Anti
: Lynch Bill
FATHER LaFARGE EXPLAINS
present STATUS OF ANTI
/ LYNCHING LEGISLATION"

! NEW YORK Calvin Service).-
Father John LaFarge, associate
editor of America" national
Catholic weekly, and chaplain of
the Catholic Interracial Council, in
a signed article in the current
America" entitled present Status
of Anti-Lynching Legislation
How the proposed Senate bill op-
crates" writes:
. "June breezes on the Chesapeake
incline one to postponement. People
around those waters have post
poned for three hundred years, and
are still postponing, any line of
communication across the Lower
Bay. But they never postpone
talk. Members of the Presidents
Jefferson Islands party talked of
postponing all controversial" Con-
gressional legislation until after
the longed-for summer adjourn
ment. I hope that this does not
mean postponement of the pro-
posed anti-lynching legislation in
the Senate, since it is already bad
ly overtime. The Wagner-Van
Mugs anti-lynching bill was re-
ported favorably by the judiciary
committee of the Senate on June
'21. While action thereon is await
ing, the time can be well utilized
by comparing it with the Gavagan
bill, which was passed on April Is
of this year by the United States
House of Representatives by a vote
of 277 to 169. Out of the eighty
eight Catholic congressman in the
House, eighty voted in favor of
the Gavagan bill. ...
''The drafters of the Wagner
Van Mugs bill, sponsored by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, in
corporated certain notifications in
order to avoid any possible concern
over constitutionality such as had
been raised with regard to the for
mer (defeated) Costigan- Wagner
anti-lynching bill. Mr.. Gavagan
was willing to waive these con-
siderations, but they were needed
in the bill for the Senate.
Scope of Legislation
''The general scope of the legis-
lation is to prevent unlawful and
violent interference with the order
ly process of justice, protect the
lives of citizens of the United
States and better assure all persons
due process and equal protection
of the laws.

DECATUR, Ala, July 10 Ala
bama's headache, the "Scottsboro
case" was resumed briskly here,
Tuesday morning, with the sup
port of an important section OF
Alabama and southern opinion,
which had come to believe the de-
PENDANTS not guilty, on the side OF
the defense. For seven long, tor
tuous years, the defendants, now
reduced to eight, have chung tena-
ciously to hope and a belief that
God will see justice done.
The arraignment in Circuit court
last week marked a new episode
in the lengthy legal drama based
on the story of two white girls,
Ruby Bates and Victoria Price,
that they were raped by nine Race
youths while aboard a freight car
on March 25, 1881. Haywood Pat
terson, the ninth defendant, is I'M
der a 75-year sentence which is ex-
pected to be appealed to the United
States Supreme court, which has
set aside two previous death YER
diets in the case.
"Ace in Hole"
One main lace in the hole" that
the defense will have is the like
lihood of Victoria Price refuting
her early statements that the boys
raped her, since the recent death
of Thomas Knight, Alabama attor-
ney general. 1t has been generally
believed that Knight coaxed the
girls into signing a statement to
the effect that the boys had raped
them. AS attorney general he
wanted their prosecution and de-
manded death in the electric chair
for the nine youths.
Each trial in the seven years of
the cases duration, while resulting
in a formal conviction in the Ala
bama courts, has served only to
strengthen the belief of millions
throughout the world in the limo
cence of the defendants and unite
world opinion in a battle for their
freedom.
State Ready to Drop Case
The case has dragged out eight
cen months without move on the
part of the prosecution and recent
observations point to the fact that
the state of Alabama has hoped
the public would forget the Scots
boro boys and leave them to their
fate. The element of finance has
influenced the states desire to rid
itself of the case which has pro-
duced a dark blotch upon Ala
bama's character.
In speedily disposing of the
cases, Judge W. W. Callahan has
scheduled the eight trials to be
called at the rate of two a week.
Atty. Samuel S. Leibowitz, wide
ly known criminal lawyer and head
of the defense boards of strategy
in the Scottsboro case, is on hand
for the trials. Leibowitz promises
that the defense will accept no
compromise. "The fight" he de-
clared, twill go on until freedom is
won for the nine victims of Ala
bama justice"

FACES RACE ISSUE
(staa Correspondent


Milwaukee, Wis.-One of the
most important happenings at the
American Youth Congress meeting
last week in Milwaukee was the
handling of the discrimination
question. There were two major
happenings which gave the Con-
gress the opportunity to demon
strate the sincerity of it's stand for
equality of mankind.
One of the officials of the Ar
rangements Committee had called
the City Attorneys office to in
quire as to the treatment of the
Negro delegates. An assistant at
torney, who purported to be Mr..
Mattison, the City Attorney, used
the word "n----s" in the course
of the conversation.
Immediately this statement was
released to the press. The commit
tee soon found out that Mr.. Matti-
son had been out of the city the
day during which the conversation
was held. In order to clear him
self, Mr.. Mattison tested the voices
of his assistants and discharged
the man who had made the remark.
Feeling that he had not fully
made up for the breach committed
by his office, Mr.. Madison wrote a
letter to each of the hotels re-
minding the hotel of the state law
against discriminatory practices
and stating that he, as City At
torney, would find it pleasure to
prosecute any hotel which practiced
discrimination.
Even with this warning some of
the hotels attempted to convince
Negro youth that the rooms were
all taken.
In the committee meetings of the
Congress many measures affecting
the Negro people were passed. The
most important of these were the
Gavagan anti-lynching bill, bill
calling for greater recreational
facilities in the South, and the
Harrison-F letcher-Black bill with
the amendments advocated by the
NAACP.
The Minnesota delegation of 13O
was led by John Thomas, chairman
and included Wylie Eastman
Elizabeth Schuck, Virginia Doyle
and Lawrence Browne.
Some of the national honors
went to local Negroes. John
Thomas chairmaned the committee
on Recreation, Leisure Time, and
Housing as well as the organiza.
tional caucus for Settlements. Mr.
Thomas was a member of the pre-
siding committee and was reelected
to the National Council. Miss
Elizabeth Schuck was also a mem

Congress, Pauline Redmond, of the

Methodist Young

In Des MOines
YOUNG MINISTER
LEADS YOUTH

AA26AAbO NV AAA
DES MONIES, Ia.-Under the
leadership of M. Boyde Patrick,
local young minister, the Twin City
delegation of the St. Paul District
of the A. M. E. Church attended
the Northwestern Youth Congress
of the Fourth Episcopal District of
the African Methodist Church.
The Congress was presided over by
the Right Reverend J. A. Gregg,
Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal
District. Rev. W. E. Guy was the
superintendent. This Congress had
full representation of all the
youth of this district, members of
thirty-six A. M. E. churches. One
hundred and sixteen persons were
registered as delegates. The Con-
gress was the guest of st. Paul
A. M. E. Church, Des Moines,
Iowa.
The first session of the Congress
began at nine o'clock July 6, with
devotional services, after which the
theme of the discussion of the day
was introduced by Rev. A. R.
Parks of Oscaloosa, Iowa. The
theme of this session was "Youth
and the Church." At the General
Discussion, led by M. Boyde Pat
rick, the following subject was
discussed: els Church School In
teresting to Upper T en- A g e
Youth ?" After many observations
it was decided that Youth gets as
much interest out of Church School
as they put in it. This discussion
was sponsored by the Sunday
School department. The afternoon
session was spent in a program of
addresses by prominent workers
among young people among whom
were S. Joe Brown and Helen Bea-
shears, both of Des Moines, Iowa,
and o. C. Hall of st. Paul, MINI.
The Congress was addressed in
the evening session by DR.. A. J.
Carey; who spoke on "The Chal-
lenge of Youth in a Changing
World" The speaker told the youth
that the vogue of the day is speed,
so if we are going to do anything
let US do it now, and speedily
and follow through.
The next two days the Revs. C.
H. Copeland and C. F. Stewart of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rev. W.
R. Stewart, Sioux City, Iowa, and
Rev. W. F. Ogleton, Washington,
Iowa, conducted the devotionals
and set the themes of discussions.
Does Youth Need Religion?

Need Religion?" The subjects un-

police jurisdiction of the Federal
Government over the individual
citizen. The Act, therefore, does
not reach all mob killings, but re-
stricts itself to the protection of
those mob victims who have al
ready come within the ambit of
State activity by being (a) in the
custody of a peace officer or (b)
suspected of, charged with, or con-
victed of a crime. Likewise it
reaches only preventable lynchings
where there has been a breach of
duty by a State officer or employee.
There is no attempt to punish the
individual members of the mob, but
the criminal sanctions are directed
against the State officer or en-
ploye derelict in his duty.
"The bill contemplates two pos
sible contingencies as grounds for
action, which in this case is both
criminal, against the State official,
and civil, against the responsible
governmental unit (e. g., county,.
How Law Would Work
Gin the first contingency, the
local peace officer has in some
manner received information to the
effect that an individual Charged
with a crime but not in his GUS
tody) is in danger of being lynched.
This is tantamount to the fact that
a lynching is actually going to take
place, since the very essence Of
most lynchings is publicity. The
Claude Noal lynching was made
known previous to the event in the
local papers and by radio. In
every typical lynching word is
passed around that a 'neck-tie
party is in prospect. Some ap-
pearance of guilt, from the most
shocking crimes to trifing viola
tons of public order, is invariably
alleged.
"In this supposition, therefore,
the peace officer has wilfully neg
lected, refused or failed to make all
diligent efforts to protect such
person or persons from lynching.'
The local boys pass the word in
Sheriff Doolittle's hearing that
Slim Alec, working on Mr.. Browns
farm, is to be elected from his
cabin tonight and elevated to the
nearest sycamore tree. And the
circumstances are such that the
witnesses can prove that the
sheriff knew about the goings on,
could have done something to stop
them, and wilfully did nothing to
protect Slim Alec from mob
punishment. Definite as this ale
cation is, it seems to me to allow
scant loopholes for any typical
lynching procedure.
GIN the alternative supposition
Slim Alec is already in Sheriff Doc
Titles custody. The local boys are
threatening to storm the Jail and
remove the prisoner to the nearest
lamp-post. In this instance, the
sheriff is liable to the Acts opera
ton if he has twilfully neglected,
refused or failed to make all dill
gent efforts to apprehend, keep in
