mediate duty. 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.

d manded this to offset the fashion

more masses of curls with a very de

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

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

ishment would follow their act, would
bring it up into the hundreds, the I.
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.

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.
