WALTER CHIVERS SAYS:

Of a particular crime. They often
show signs of considerable deibera-
ton. For instance in one commun-
ity the mob assembled in public
park for several successive nights
while the leader begged one hum
dred people to cross line signi-
flying them willingness to become
parties to the proposed 1ynching.
The argument being that a COM
murity would not attempt to per-
secute that many of its citizens.
The hundred crossed the line and
the lynching was staged.
In another settlement an officer
who had been holding off a mob
for several hours received an urg-
ent summons to another duty. Be-
fore leaving he struck a gentle
mems" agreement with the crowd
that they would not act until his
return at about eight a. m.
The crowd scattered singly and
IN small groups. Inc TWO Gales
were filled throughout the night
with discussion groups. At the
specified time the officer was in
formed of their decision to proceed
with the lynching because the state
law did not provide the death PEN
atty for the alleged crime. Shortly
afterwards the man was lynched.
In each of these cases there was
considerable time for reflection,
deliberation and prevention of the
lyncking. It is true that the reason
ing of the crowds was from an
emotional foundation but it is
also true that it was an old foun-
dation based on the Community's
concept of a Negro being.

Rev. Mr. benson in answering the
bishop said the Rev. b. J. Jones
reported to First CINE as its pas
tor, although Bishop Bell first ap-
pointed the Rev. I Garland Penn
as pastor of the church.
Rev. Mr.. benson declared he was
not notified of the change.
Bishop Bell in his petition point
ed out that First CME is under
jurisdiction of the North Georgia
Annual Conference of the CINE
Church and that Rev. Mr.. Den
son refused to allow Rev. MI
Jones to take charge of the church
on December 8.
CHARGE MOVE ILLEGAL
The petition said that "at the
same time, Rev. Mr.. benson had
a motion passed by congregation
there assembled to the effect that
said church withdraw from the
North Georgia Conference of the
CME Church and at the same time
had himself elected as pastor OF
said church"
The bishops petition urged that
Rev Mr.. benson be temporarily
and permanently restrained and en-
joined from interfering with Rev
Mr.. Jones when he is seeking to
exercise his functions and duties
of the pastor of the church.
The petitioner also asked that
the former pastor be refrained from
entering the pulpit of the First
CINE Church and that the three
trustees named in the petition be
restrained and enjoined from
changing the status of the title
of the church edifice.

The three trustees named in the

Jones was not named pastor al
the annual conference and did no
present any certificate of appoint
! ment when he appeared at the
church, December 6.
In a statement Thursday after
noon, Bishop Bell said Rev. Mr..

DEFENSE DISCRIMINATION
is TREASON
By DEAN GORDON b. HANCOCK

BY DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCk
THE high-handed attempt to de
prive the skilled Negro workman
of and opportunity to share in the
defense preparations, smacks Of
the vilest sort of treason! 1t is an
attempt to divide q nation that only
unity will save from obstruction. It
must be borne in mind that Moth
ing new is developing in this day
of hasty preparation for eventuaL-
ties.
The crisis that is upon us only
brings out into bold relief the sim
ister forces that are always at work
in this country. In many ways it
is most fortunate that the under
currents can be brought to the sllf-
face and the Negro can get his
bearings.
SAME OLD STORY
1t is the same old story of the
pernicious influence of the labor
GlIdp I'LL W
Negro worker. 1 am more than ever
convinced of the soundness Of my
fundamental contention that Ne
groes will eventually be forced tC
organize separately into all-Negro
labor unions to cooperate with the
white unions if possible; but to
compete with them if necessary.
The interracial goodwill that
must be purchased with a races
opportunities of survival is hardly
worth preserving. 1t is true. such
position is dangerous; but so is
the position of a people forced to
work. and Systematically forced out
of work, by the policies Of organiz-
ed labor.
The Intelligent opinion of man.
kind will not condemn the Negro
worker for organizing in self
defense after all other recourseS
have been in vain. Now as and in
the first World War, the Negro
worker is running into trouble and
it is going to take external vigi-
lance and resourcefulness and ef-
ficiency to save the situation.
