BiIbo Still irving To
Ship Blacks To Africa

Washington, D. C. June 3.-The
four-hour speech by Senator
Theodore G. Bidbo of Mississippi
pi against Negroes, urging de-
portation of 100000 colored
people to Africa in order to SOL
We the unemployment problem
fell flatter than a pancake.
The Bilbo TRADE was so nau-
seating and so silly, by turns,
that the Mississippi race-hater
had not have even half a dozen
senator's listen to him. AS soon
as he got into his speech they
left the floor.
Bilbo admitted after his talk
that he really did not wish to
make an amendment to the
relief bill as he stated in order
to get the floor, but solely to
make speech against Negroes.
This admission Disguised the
and We n the veteran
news correspondents so that Bill
DO did not get even one-tenth the
publicity he expected, even in
in the southern press. One of the
so called wisecracks of the
speech was the quotation: God
created the whites. | know not
who created the blacks. Surely
devil created the mongrels."
Bilbo has served a term in jail
for contempt of court, once adj
mitted charge of bribery, and
was once indicted for corruption.
In spite of this he has served
three years in the Mississippi
state legislature and was twice
elected as governor. He was cleo
ted to the senate four years ago.

DICKINSON AHEAD
TRY FOR COME BACK
Gillette's Lead Mounts; Has A
Two to Three Margin Over
Wearin, Endorsed by Jimmy
Roosevelt and Hopkins

Des Moines, Iowa, June G.
Representative Otha d. Wearin,
who claimed presidential support
in his quest for the Iowa Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination,
tralled Senator Guy NJ. Gillette
by three to two lead tonight
as returns mounted from h e
states 2,477 precincts.
Former senator L. J. Dickin-
son, attempting comeback
after his defeat two years ago
was adding to his lead over Re-
preventative Lloyd Thurston for
the Republican nomination.
Returns from the 261 of the
2,447 precincts gave Gillette as
many votes as all four of his
opponents combined. The count
was: Byerhoff, $50; Gillette,
TIA; Myers, 1888; Richardson,
856; and Wearin, 4,337.
Gillette sought denomination
for the senate on a platform of
loyalty to President Roosevelt
but said he would retain the
right to Judge each new propos-
sal on its individual merits if
he is reelected. He is one of the
foes of the presidents court re-
form bill but supported the re-
organization bill and other adj
ministration measures.
Wearin was called "my friend"
in telegram from James Roose-
welt, son of the President, during
the campaign. The representa-
tive also was endorsed by Harry
L. Hopkins, sWPA- chief. Il
Gillette's TIA total compar-
ed with 1865 for all of his four
opponents. All four ran on a
platform of unqualified support
Of the new deal.
Dickinson who ran far ahead
of presidential candidate Alfred
NJ. Landon in the 1886 elections
even though he did lose to Sena-
tor Clyde L. Herring, rolled up
1890 votes in precincts COM
pared with 10,737 for Thurston.
Wearin was running behind the
incumbent in almost all sections
of Iowa except in his own 18th
congressional district.
From The larger national
standpoint the Iowa electorate
ruled on the political effective
ness of James Roosevelt, son of
the president and his secretary,
WPA chief Harry l.. Hopkins,
and Thomas Corcoran, new deal
strategist. e..

849 Applicants For
 Benefits Classified
 As Violating Law
Wful Misconduct, Refusal to Accept Other Work Are Listed Among Chief Causes By State
 Labor Department

fused suitable employment after fil- ing a claim for benefits within the meaning of the law, State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone re- vealed today.
 As a result, $16,ses.6O has been charged back as penalty assessments during 1898.
 Such assessments are in accord ance, the commissioner pointed out, with the law which provides 8 pen- atty waiting period of an additional two weeks, together with charge against the claimants account of two weeks benefits whenever one of the above conditions obtains.
 Situations involving physical dis ability, unavailability, stoppage of work by labor disputes, wages given in lieu of notice and workman's compenSation all cause complete disqualification of receipt of benefits and are not the subject of penalty, he explained.
 MT. Tone said that the depart ment is receiving "very good" CO., operation from employers as the latter are prompt in reporting the circumstances of doubtful cases to field offices.
 He added cooperation of workers is fine, too. These penalties are 8 minute fraction of the tens of thousands of claims we have taken"
 The entire problem of penalty and disqualification Is handled by 8 special review unit set up in ad- ministrative headquarters here, with a member of the Connecticut bar in charge of the unit.
