Many Stages

i
Boycott pressure - integration-
ist style - is applied in a number
of planned stages.
The first stage is an announce
ment from the pulpit that a par
ticular firm is not hiring Negroes
The clergyman then tells his con-
gregation he will refrain from pat
ronizing the firm and 1T is up to
you to decide whether to do some
thing in this drive for Negro free
dom"
The first phase lasts three to
five weeks. Then a second phase
begins. 1t includes more pleas from
the pulpit and signs in Negro bus
mess places. The third stage in
cludes the distribution of leaflets
and circulars. In Philadelphia as
many as eight stages of the pro-
gram are planned with the final
phase to include picketing.
Negro leaders said that long be-
fore the eighth stage is reached
most firms generally have given in
and others in the community have
voluntarily begun hiring more Ne
groes and improving their chances
for advancement.
AS a result of the Los Angeles
efforts, Ike Adams, labor repre-
sentative of the NAACP said,
most department stores have at
least started to hire Negroes in
Jobs which we think they ought to
have"
Negro leaders estimated that
260, 900 of Philadelphia's 100000
Negroes are taking part in that
city's boycott.
In Mississippi
In Jackson, Miss, the sponsor
ing NAACP chapters estimated
their boycott of downtown stores
is 65 to 70 per cent effective. At
Clarksdale, Miss, a year-old boy
colt of downtown merchants claim
ed 80 to 95 per cent effectiveness.
Aaron Henry, Mississippi NAACP
president, said four or five stores
have been driven out of business.
Most of the affected firms have
remained silent about the effec-
tiveness of the boycotts and the
nature of the demands made upon
them. But a few have spoken out,
A spokesman for a Philadelphia
bottling firm pepsi Cola) said
Negro ministers asked the COM
pany to hire seven or eight driver
statesmen.
I'VE had no openings at the
time in that job category, but we
were pressured into hiring the Ne
groes," he said. The firm felt the
boycott was unjust because we
had Negroes working in all de-
partments but driver sales"

for supplies and medicines, l have
gathered the following particulars re-
garding the burning of that city by
QuantrelPs band:
The list of killed and wounded
numbers above $50, a majority of whom
were killed instantly. Z. . The houses
that remain standing are filled with
killed and wounded Of all classes. From
the ruins of the burned houses the
charred remains of other victims are
being taken. But one hotel is standing,
Quantrell having spared it in cOnse-
quence of his having made his home
there some years since, without ex-
pense; its proprietor, however, was
shot.
A large number Of private citizens
we're killed instantly; most of them in
their houses with their wives and chill
dren clinging to them, while the MUIR
derers placed pistols to their sides and
shot them.
In one case the guerrillas drove
twelve men into house and shot them,
and then burned the buildings. The
fiends stood on the banks of the river
and fired into the people, killing and
wounding scores. twenty-five negro
recruits were killed. The bandits took
all the money they could find in the
pockets or houses of citizens, and stole
all the ladies' jewelry, even to the rings
on their fingers.
Jim Lane escaped on horseback,
and rallying about 200 men with arms,
followed and overlook Quantrell twelve
miles south of Lawrence, when a fight
occurred, the result of which is un-
known. Quantrell is now retreating to-
wards Missouri, burning everything on
his route. No resistance was made at
Lawrence, the people being shot down
as they ran through the streets in their
night-clothes. Their bodies were
thrown into wells and cisterns. -.
