MOVE TOWARD
ANTI-LYNCHINC
BILL IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The first
move toward getting a federal
anti-lynching bill before Congress
this session was made March 81,
when Discharge Petition No. 3 on
H.R. 1898 was submitted to the
House by Congressman D. Lane
Powers (R., N.JO. who is spon-
soring the NAACP measure.
The petition requires 2l8 sigma
lures in order 10 get the bill out
of Committee where il is now bot
tied up. Every supporter OF anti
lynching legislation is therefore
being urged 10 write his congress
man to sign the Discharge petit
ton.
IN OUTLINING the reasons why
the 10th Congress should outlaw
the crime of lynching without fur
ther delay. CONGRESSMAN Powers
declared that 5,l44 persons in the
United States met death at the
hands of lynch mobs from 1889
through 1914. He said 1888 OF the
victims have been Negroes and
in the overwhelming majority OF
cases, they were lynched by ma
tive white Americans,
Placing stress particularly on CT
william police brutality against Ne
gro servicemen following World
War / and the increasing gravity
OF similar incidents in the pres
ent period. Powers cited the lynch
ing of soldiers who were slain
simply because they had tasted
little freedom, a little travel and
had a little pride in the part they
played in the army that fought
for democracy"
