s'While We did not make our con-

at the increased response since

abolishing slavery and serfdom
throughout Ethiopia, He also order
ed the creation of an anti-slavery
bureau and special courts to

Selassie was regent and known as
Ras Tafari in 1924 when the first
step was taken to abolish slavery.
He invited the Anti Slavery society
Of England to send him advisers at
that time and group came here
headed by Lord Noel Buxton, grand
son of the aboiitionist, Ruxgon.
In 1886, faced with the Italian
war, Selassie was unable to complete
his reforms, After the country was
conquered by the Fascists, the
Italians wiped out Selassie's pro-
gram and encouraged slavery In
order to win the support Of The
races, or chieftians, who would
lose if forced labor were abolished
With the re-conquest of Abyssirlia,
the emperor had to start all over
again.
Selassie has also issued decree
reforming the "gabar" system, an
established feudal social structure
handed down from the Middle
Ages. In the future, all gabars OF
serfs must be paid. Formerly they
titled the land of their feudal mas
tiers without payment receiving part

For Hanging Boys
Governor Promises
Action in Lynching
Of CoIored Youths
By the Associated Press,


JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 13.-Gov
Paul johnson has served notice that
he will do all in his power to bring
to justice a group of unidentified
men who lynched two colored boys
early yesterday in Clarke County
Charlie Lang and Ernest Green,
both IA, of Shubuta, were taken
from the Quitman Jail after they
had entered pleas of guilty to
charges of attempted assault of a
13-year-old white girl.
Il will exert every reasonable eff
fort to see that the violated laws
OF Mississippi are vindicated," said
Gov. Johnson. Such acts are spots
upon the good name of Mississippi
and the better class of people here
condemn this wrong"
The Governor said he had asked
Sheriff Lloyd McNeal of Clarke
County why he hadn't moved the
boys after their guilty pleas Satur-
day and the sheriff replied that he
had been advised by the county at
torney that it would be all right
to keep the boys in the Quitman
jail.
He said he saw no evidence of
any probable lynching," Gov. John
son continued, but I told him it
was his duty to notify the Gov
ernor so the prisoners could be pro-
tected as has been done before

Desire to Destroy CIO Denied.
He does not want to destroy the
CIO or any labor organization that
can stand on its own feet" they said.
He has turned down requests by
some independent international
unions for afflliation, simply be-
cause they could take care of them
selves"
They pictured Mr.. Lewis as mainly
interested in getting workers into
unions. rather than merely drawing
present union members to his own
organization, which a week ago
withdrew from the CIO.
They indicated tina a strong drive
by District so to organize grain and
cattle farmers and farm workers

probably would stand largely on its

lis Planning Postwar
Drive in Other Fields
Organizing Of Workers,
Not Roids on Unions,
Declared Objective
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-Associates
of John L. Lewis expressed belief
today that he was looking beyond
the war to a time when his United
Mine Workers could be the we'll
spring of organizing drives in fields
far from the coal mines and still
untouched by unionism.
These men, VINO preferred not to
be named, declared Mr.. Lewis
seemed to have farmers particularly
in mind. District SO of the UNIV
already has accepted the affliation
Of the United Dairy Farmers, but it
was said that Mr.. Lewis believed
that the agricultural field would
need at least three unions-the
other two in cattle and in grain.
The associates emphasized at the
UNIV convention that despite the
change made yesterday in the con-
stitution, opening membership to
workers in such other industries
