So far, he said, his investigation
showed the men were merely mem
bers of local antiunion folks
Earlier, the American Fedora
ton of Labor asserted that the foul
men had abducted the man, Willie
Dudley. from a South Georgia clay
pit and beat him with a rubber hose
when he refused to resign from a
union. The AFL in its original state
ment said the men had told Dudley
they were Klansmen.
Third Incident Reported.
This was the third incident re-
ported by either the AFL or the

lions announced intenSification OF
their drives to unionize the South

said in Washington that Dudley was
kidnapped when he. refused to sign
a letter of resignation from the

P. w. Martin Clay Co., of Gordon.
Mr.. Googe's statement gave this
account:
On Saturday, June 8, colored
worker, Willie Dudley, was visited at
his home at night and ordered to
sign a resignation from the union.
He refused to do so. He went to
work at II pm. and shortly after
midnight four masked men came on
the job with guns, handcuffed Dud-
ley and carried him off the job,
beating him severely with a hose.
They told him it was because
of his refusal to quit the union and
if he told any one about it he would
be killed. His captors also advised
him to tell the union organizer they
were going to get him, too They
also represented themselves as mem
bers of the Ku Klux Khan"
The organizer and the man who
made the original report is Felix

last week that 25 or 80 good citi-

election we didn't miss IL far.
There were SO. OF course there
was no opposition for the office.
And that fact alone seems TO In
dicate that local parents are in
all ways satisfied with the con-
duct of the district schools. But
there is a better way TO show that
satisfaction than by Indifference.
There should havt been several
hundred votes cast and among
them our own because We. too.

SINCE THIS is THE

fore the general election on No
vember 5th We cannot stress to
strongly that every registered per-
son owes a debt OF gratitude TO
cast his ballot. Voting Ia not only
a duty but 1t Is privilege as well.
Definitely IL is the duty OF every
person TO qualify to vote. And II
Is equally the duty OF every citi-
zen TO inform himself as to the
issues at stake and cast an intel
ligent battlot.
OF IMMEDIATE AND

and every other incorporated city
in this state is the need for an

Action Till Later

Following newspaper an

ell would initiate two suits TO

est census figures ii is expected
that Casa Grande's council will
advise its attorney to withhold ac-

designed TO force state officials to
recognize a special US. census
which placed the present popula-
ton of Casa Grande at 2707 as
compared with a 1910 census OF
1545.
The second suit would enjoin
the state of Arizona from paying
sales tax receipts to Coolidge.
Following publication of the
newspaped story of the proposed
action OF Casa Grande city coun-
Gil representatives Of Coolidge
city council were told that no
suits would be filed except as a
last resort and that there was now
reason to believe that the ques-
ton might probably be settled
without court action.
Coolidge city officials have been
led to believe that Casa Grande's
primary reason for filing the suits
hinges upon passage of the gas tax
measure which will appear on the
ballot at the general election next
Tuesday.
Arizona's attorney general
John l.. Sullivan, ruled on October
18th that Casa Grande would not
be permitted greater sales tax
revenues because of its new CEN
sus and that sales tax revenues
must be apportioned upon the
1910 census.

no provision for division of sales

attorney general ruled last yeal
that Coolidge was eligible to share
in sales tax proceeds on the basis
of a federal census taken Decem'
Der 10. 1945. This ruling, appar,
emily, was predicated upon the
wording of the code which pro-
vfdes:
