While no fatalities directly at

ring were evenly divided between

only about .48 per cent per 100. 600

Edgar Hoover raped the abuses
and maladministration of our pris-
on systems, declaring that a large
percentage of fugitives being sought
throughout the country have en-
joyed ill-advised clemency. The
manner in which murderers, sex
degenerates, outlaws and bandits
are released constitutes a national
disgrace, he said.
Added to the loose handling Of
previous offenders is the mounting
waywardness of youth, Hoover said
disclosing that of all crimes re-
ported in 1915, 81 per cent were
committed by persons under 81
years Of age. Young people in this
age group made up IA per cent OF
all murderers: So per cent Of all
robbers: 81 per cent OF all burglars;
"a per cent of all thieves; rs per
cent Of all %arsonists; SO per cent
Of all auto thieves and 80 per cent
Of all rapists.
AS one remedial measure against
the growing wave of youthful law
lessness. Hoover recommended in
creased church or social activity
designed to direct youngsters en-
ergies and imaginations into con
structive activities.

slider that now is the time, in the
postwar period, when they have
the right to carry back tax bene-
fits, to start an all out attack on
labor to deprive it of its gains
that were won during the war. If
labor loses any of it's rights it now
possess, it will constitute a mortal
blow TO the Negro since a large
majority of Negroes work for a
living and benefit from legislation
which supports the worker, states
Mr.. Randolph.
To this end, Negroes should rely
on labor and rally their forces and
urge their senators and congress
men to wage relentless war again
st the Case bill and other anti
labor legislation that are raising
their heads in the CONGRESS-. Each
bill which is against labor is one
against the Negro and every bill
