THE BLOODY ATTACK ON THE ABYSSINIAN PARADE IN CHICAGO Aii Editorial Prom the Jewish Daily Forward, June 23, Translated for The Monitor by M. Wrighth. We do not yet know all the de tails of the bloody occurrence between the colored and white in the “Abys sian parade” 1n Chicago; but one thing is positive—that the American capitalistic press does not tell the truth about it. They are trying by such happenings to inflame the minds of the country against the liberty demanding elements of the colored race. This press-the-yellow is try ing to make the impression that the "hooligan" (meaning rowdy) attack on the Abyssinian parade was to pro tect the honor of the American flag against "Red Niggers" who tried to insult it; but, knowing from experi ence that such excuses have been al ways made for the past few years for all provocations by- white “hooligans" against the colored people, we doubt that the motive as stated by the press is true. The American press always tries to inflame the minds of its readers, first, against the foreign born and especially against the down-trodden Negro, whose “idealistic" teachers of liberty and equality are condemned as enemies of the fatherland. A dem onstration by “Niggers*’ or “Abys sians’’ who do not want to live in slavery and are planning to emigrate to a place where they can feel free and independent is enough reason for an attack by glngoes and their help ers, the capitalistic press.
