Mississippi Lower House
Passes Ani-Lynch Statute

Jackson, Miss AMP With
an eye on the lengthy senate fill
buster in Washington, the Missis-
sippi House of Representatives
late Thursday passed its own
"anti-lynching" bill by SO to 8
aftc. a brief debate, decreeing the
offense murder" and making those
found guilty liable to hanging.
Loudest objection to the measure
came from Nathan G. Alien, whose
county ironically enough, was
named for Abraham Lincoln. Allen
defended ynching by saying:
IF we pass this bill. it will be
violated. Why beat around the
bush? Mob violence is sometimes
justified.
The legislation was sponsored by
Hilton Waits Of Washington coun-
ty, and was intended to help the
Southern flbuster in congress by
showing the North that Dixie was
capable Of looking after its own
problems without federal interven-
tion. The state assembly previous
ly has gone on record as heing OPP
rosed 10 the Wagner-Van l,uys
bill.
Bill Debated Heatedly
Most Of the debote on the meas
ure. brought up by suspension of
rules, centered about whether it
would aid Southern senators in
their filbuster. Rep. Charles Bolen
contended the Mississippi bill would
make proponents of the federal
measure more stubborn in their
efforts to break the filibuster,' and
Rep. Carl A. Chadwick asserted
the proposal would "be an admis-
sion that we need regulation.
The act declares that the lynch
ing of any person within the state
by a mob shall be deemed murder,
and that every person in mob
participating in a lynching shall
be sub ect to prosecution for
murder.
Under its provisions any person
in a mob committing an assault or
battery would be guilty of felony,
and upon conviction would be SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for not
less than one year nor more than
10.
The measure would require the
district attorney of an area in
which a lynching occurs to en-
deavor promptly and diligently"
to ascertain identity of persons
comprising the mob and iminedi-
ately prosecute them. II also pro-
vides that the attorney general
may assist the district attorney
and that the governor shall have
full authority to spend money out
of his contingent fund in an effort
to apprehend and prosecute mob
members.
However, there Is no penalty for
failure of officials to take such ac-
ton following a lypching, nor are
sheriffs and law enforcing agencies
made liable to penalties If their
prisoners are "taken" from them
by mobs.

DUBOIS SEES
NEW INDUSTRY
Rule Of Oligarchy
On Way Out

Contrasting the economic life Of
people living under Communism in
Russia, Nazism in Germany. and
Fascism in Italy with that OF those
living under democracies in the
United States, France and England,
DR.. w. E. B. Dubois warned a
large audience at st. Antoine
Y. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon that
we are in the midst Of an economic
revolution.
In frank statements DR.. Dubois
admonished the large attendance
against sitting placidly and waiting
for the return of "the good old
days" Those days. he declared
have passed into oblivion and are
as extinct as a dodo bird.
DR.. Dubois was the principal
speaker on the eighth annual Negro
History Week celebration spon-
sored by the Elliottorian Business
Women's Club. Mrs. Aubrey G.
Priestly presided.
Need Readjustment
Pointing out that there was a
decided need for readjustment
along economic lines, the former
editor of the Crisis magazine
stated the current industrial revo-
luton had its inception with the
coming Of slaves to America. This,
he stated, meant the opening OF a
great industrial era as 1t paved the
way for the streams Of commerce.
With the advent Of world COM
merce, the professor of sociology
at Atlanta university pictured the
beginning Of machinery inventions,
thus laying the ground for the
present capitalist system.
While a revolution is in pro-
gress, DR.. Dubois said that it was
not revolution of violence, but
one Of thought. This revolution
of thought, he contends, will cul-
inmate in the establishment OF a
democratic industry.
Ruled by Few
In the past, industry has been
ruled by an oligarchy, he stated.
But this rule Of the few is fast
rcceding and a new day in indus
try is dawning, the speaker as
serted. The people are going TO
win industry.
DR.. Dubois was introduced by
the Rev. A. c. Williams, pastor OF
Metropolitan Baptist church. Miss
Theresa Cayer read one OF her
poems. Miss Erma Morris render
ed a piano solo. Invocation was
by Mrs. Matte @. Anderson, and
benediction by Mrs. Jessie p. sla-
ton.
