VILLARD’S PRESIDENTIAL MES SAGE” URGES ANTI-LYNCH ING LAW N.w York, Jan. 4.—In the Nation for Jan. 2, 1935, Oswald Garrison "V illard, noted liberal and veteran pub lisher, writes “A Message to Congress (Which the President Might Read to It)”. This “Presidential Message”. in addition to discussing the necessity for safeguarding the rights of labor and added legislation for social se curity, discusses at length the lynch ing evil, saying; "The passage of the.

It cannot have escap d your attention that our national honor has been foully besmirched by the recent lynching of Claude Neal, a Ne gro, near Gre nwood, Florida. This prisoner was in the law’s hands. His guilt was certain and confessed. The> mob wl: ch took him from the jail ad vertised its purpose and accomplished it with a sadistic fury, an obscene barbarity, which m-'lke the printing of all the details an impossibility. Shocking as was the murder of the prisoner’s victim, the fiendish con duct of the mob makes it impossible for Americans to point the finger of scorn at lawlessness anywhere in the world. It .stains our flag, as it tar nish, s our honor. I cannot guaran tee thrjt .the |To«tigais WKsmer bill will stamp out mob murder, but £ do know that it will give to the United States government some of the pow ers it nee. ! to check this vil, which in its importance overshadows the government’s war against gangsters, bootleggers, and the other organized elem nts among our criminals. The killing of four citizens at Shelbyville, Tennessee, last month by troops, in order to prevent the lynching of an American citizen accused of crime, is still furth r proof of the menace of b:s lawlessness to eur national life”. Mr. Yillard is a vice-president and one of the founders of the Natioeial Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is heading the campaign for the passage, of the Cos tian-Wagner bill.

Dame Fashion d manded this to offset the fashion able Empress Eugenie Hat. More and more masses of curls with a very de cided upward trend was the dominant feature of 1933. With the introduc tion of the streamlin.' coaches by the railway compand came the introduc tion of a streamline hair style; that is. the hair swept backward off the face and upwards. At the end of the same year, the braid cam • into its own for both formal and informal wear. With the beeinning of 1935 we must expect more and more curls with a continual advance to the top and front of the head s streamlines at th ? tem ples with or without the fashionable b:aid. The croquignole marcel wave, be. j cause of its natural appearance, its i windswept air, and lack of regular pronounc d waves, will be in demand this year.

TWENTY-FIVE LYNCHINGS RECORDED IN 1934 New York—There were twenty-five lynchings recorded in 1934, according to a compilation made by. the Inter national Labor Defense, and released today. All the victims were Negroes This figure of recorded lynchings compared with 49 for 1933 (two not r corded untl January 1934), and 37 in 1932 The figures, the I.L.D- stressed in making the record public, are not claimed to be inclusive of all lynch ings which occurred durng 1934, but only of those which were recorded in th : press, with the addition of two about which no news-report was ever published. Information of these was obtained by the International Labor Defense through private sources. An indication of the incomplet-ness of the record is offorded in the fact that information about several of these lynchings was only published in the press weeks and months after their occurrence. The I. L. D. record shows that Miss issippi heads the list, with eight lynch ings, followed by1 Louisiana with four, Georgia and Florida with three each, Alabama with two, and Kentucky, New York, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessea with one each In fifteen of the lynchings, impli cation of police or sheriff’s officers was shown. In seven cases the vic tims were turned over to the lynch ers by officers in whose charge they were, in six police or officers partici pated directly, in one the officers were conveniently out of town and left the jail unguarded, and in one case the Classified Ads and Business DIRECTORY Help us to Build Bigger and Better Business.

L.D. said. This method of terroriz ing Negroes for the purpose of keep ing them in economic subjection—the purpose behind all lynchings—has be comi3 more and more common all over thee country, to a certain extent tak ing the place of spectacular mob lynchings. «Tn the present compilation, no mur der was counted a lynching unless three or more persons, more or less oganized for the purpose, participated. The sportive: of a police or sheriff’s badge by a member or leader of the lynch gang or mob, however, was not considered as sufficent to make the occurrence ineligible for the lynch list. Other organizations which purport to keep and publish reeords of lynch ings, the I.L.D- said, strike off the list any lynching in which they can ascertain police or other state officers participated. In six out of the 25 cases, no charge against the victim was made or could be ascertained. In only three cases was a charge of “assault on a white woman" made. In two -of these it was not made until af ter the lynching, in three other cases “attempted assault on white wo men” was used as a charge. Other “charges" included “.striking a white man”, associating with a white woman friend, “not dipping hi* mule according to law”, writing a let ter to a young white girl, stealing turpentine—lynching came after ac quittal in this case—and murder. The I. L- D- pointed out, in making public this record of lynchings, that there are at present no laws, and none being officially considered, in state or federal circles, which are intended to be effective weapons against lynch ing, which has its roots in our eco nomic system. The present state anti lynch laws, and the proposed federal anti-lynch laws, with the exception of the Bill for Negro' Rights and the Suppression of Lynchng, proposed by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and endorsed by the I. L. D. t f _ ^“KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES” _A Demonstration t V /vOU LOW BOUNDER!! * / X'LL TEACH VOU TO 1 ^ ( KICK A X>3 PEVSTER 1 V «M TH' FACE !! i! I 11 TU Aiweitted J ] were characterized as the illusiory trimmings of capitalist justice. The biggest teeth in any of the laws that have actually been proposed in Congress, it was pointed out, is a provision which in effect makes the government of a community pay a license, perhaps as high as $10,000, but still a license, for the privilege of lynching a human being. Only organized mass action to force the enforcement of the death penalty against lynchers, can be considered an effective weapon against lynching, the I. L. D. statement said. It was pointed out that in not a single case has actual punishment been meted out to lynchers, although in one case this year, at Shelbyville, Tenn., guardsmen shot and killed four leaders of a lynch-incited mob in pro tecting themselves and a Negro. The United States Department ef Justice has consistently refused to prosecute lynchers under the power it possesses under existing law, although the Lindbergh Kidnaping Law, appli cable in the interstate lynching of Claude Neal last October, was widely used against kidnappers of the rich. This policy of the government waa further poiated out by the speech of President Roosevelt to the Washing ton Crime Conference in which, in stating that "Lynching, unfortunately is no longer confined to one section of the country,” he gave tacit approval to lynching of Negroes in the South, and only mild and meaningless dis approval to the practice elsewhere. 93 PROMINENT HOLLANDERS PROTEST THE SCOTTSBORO FRAME-UP TO ROOSEVELT New York—Copy of a telegram to President Roosevelt, demanding the freedom of the Scottsboro boys, sent by the Holland Scottsboro Committee, with headquarters at Amsterdam, has been received here by the Internation al Labor Defense. The Committee, of which G. Mannoury, well-known pro fessor of mathematics at Amsterdam is chairman, has enlisted the support of t)3 prominent intellectuals, includ ing n%any writers, artists, university professors, physicians and lawyers, for the Scottsboro campaign. SOUTH .CAROLINA .A M E CHURCHES URGE ACTION ON LYNCHING New York, Nov. 30—Following ad dresses last week by Dean Charles H- Houston of the Howard University Law School, the South Carolina and the Pee-Dee Conferences of the Afri can Methodist Episcopal Zion Church sent telegrams to President Roose velt and Governors Sholtz of Florida and Miller of Alabama urging prompt action in the Claude Neal kidnap lynching case and support of an anti lynching bill to be introduced in the forthcoming Congress.
