Garvey Agents Face Murder Charge
Princess’ Slaying
In Florida Blamed
On Garvey Group
MIAMI, Fla., Mar. 20.—A sen
sational case, which promises to be
of interest to every colored Ameri
can, has developed here from the
slaying of Princess Laura Kofey,
daughiter of King Knesipi of the
Gold Coast of Africa. Followers of
Marcus Garvey, rocently deported or
iginator of ‘the “back to Africa”
movement, whose policies she ap
posed, are blamed for her death.
S Opposed Garvey
It has been disclosed, according |
to state Attorney Hawtherne, that
the seven Kings of the Gold Coast |
revudiated Garvey and his plans and
principles, prineipally beeause Gar
vey wanted to keep Negroes to them- |
selves in his nroposec colony there. |
The African Kings saw an opportun- |
ity for opening up a profitable trade |
with the United States. And Prin-|
cess Laura was sent as their repre- |
sentative to warn colored Americans
to beware of Garvey; also to prepars |
them for the proposed opening o-|
commerce between colored Amerk-rms'
and their race brothers in Africa.
Laura‘invaded Miama on her patriot- |
ic misgion, beccuse it was considered
the stronghold of the Garvey gmup‘
in the United States, and was shot
to death in a church here two wecks
ago while condueting a vigorous anti-
Garvey meeting. |

of Garvev. Cock, however, lost his
life on the night that the Princess
was slain when members of her fac
tion suspected thot he was participat
ing in the alleged conspiracy. The
Grand Jury is investigating the ecase,
and King Knesipi has sent word that
he is sailing for America to investi
gate the death of his daughter. More
than 100 Negroes have been sum
moned to appear before Grand Ju.ry.
The colored citizens of Miami are
preparing to receive King Knesipi
and the members of his court who
are expected to arrive here within a
month.
It is said that the slaying of Prin

Reports Show Unemployment Increasing
Colored Workers Replaced By Whites
CHICAGO, March 20— (Bpecial)
—Unemployment is not merely bad
for Negroes: it is eritical. From all
parts of the country reports for!
February showed conditions grow
ing worse. Not only are colored
men and women not being employed,
but they are being replaced by white
workers. This substitution is geing
on in the South as well as in the
North; even though the jobs taken,
are menial and of the type that are
customarily regarded as Negro jobs
only.
The policy of not working white
and colored employees together
means that today net one or several
Negroes loge their jobs to white
workers, but that whole shifts and
entire crews of colored workers are
being sacrificed to make places for
white persons. One city is reported
to have adopted the slogan “No Ne.
gro must have a job any white man
wants.”” Little Rock, Ark., illus
trates this. There two hotels turned
off its bellmen and waiters; also a
railroad dismissed approximately 100
gshop employees; Chicago reported
geveral instances of replacement
during February.
8o similar are the reports of un
employment throughout the eountry
that it is not necessary to record
the cities separately. Buffalo, with
200 families being carved for by the
city, is among those feeling the sit.
uation most. Detroit appears to be
- guffering less from unemployment
than nn¥ of the cities sending in re
ports. This is due to the revival of
the automobile industry. Most of
the colored men are being hired at
the Ford plants, A loop clothing
firm in Chlcu? hired eight salesmen
who were trained by the company

Chicago presents a most intvrest~|

lcop clothing firm hired eight nmle]
salesmen who were trained by the
company for the position. Six oth

ment in Chicago is thought to be
critical; for a large department
store has cut its force of 22 workers
to 12. The reason for their dis
charge was given by the manage
ment as “‘experimenting.”” Though
their work was efficient and satis

store as to whether the remaining
12, four maids and eight laund
resses, would be let out. A well es

misged its cdolored porters and bus.
boys from geveral of its places. A
'hotol formerly employing 38 malds
and two housemen, retained only
one houseman, A prominent hoes

5000-Mile Hike
For 51000 Prize
CHICACO, Mareh 28. (Special)
~Nebrasker Williams, 20, the now
famous boy hiker from Shreveport,
La., arrived in Chicago Tuesday
afternoon, completing a carefully
planned 5,000.mi1e hike when he ar.
rived at the office of Mayor Wil
liam Hale Thompson in the city hall
Williams started his hike at the
instigation of The Shreveport Times,
whieh advertised for somebody who
would agree to hike 5,000 miles for
SI,OOO. It iz interesting to note
that the onily person in the entire
state of Louisiana found willing to
undertuke the hike was the colored
youth, Williams.
His route led him through many
of the gouthern states and as far
cast as New York and Boston. Much
of his hiking in the south was done
while the fiood was #t its height,
having begun his trip last June. He
was shot in the leg at one time
while passing through Lake Provi.
denece, La., when he failed to obey
an order to halt by some guards
during the floods. He stayed in a
flood relief camp until he recovered,
however, and went on his way.
A stipulation of his agreement
was that he was not to ride any sort
of vehiele while on the trip. He
could not accept any lifts on the
road, nor could he use any of the
common carriers. A checkup was
kept on him to see that he did not
violate his agreement, and he took
ne chances on losing the SI,OOO.
Williams has wmany interesting |
souvenirs gathered up en his hike, |
fwelding” letters m&"mnrom and
prominent men in many cities. He
stated that he intended tp use his
money to finance a law course which
he intends to take at the University
of Michigan. |

first step in the creation of an

vote, according to the general or
ganizer. “A strike vote, however,"”
says Randolph, *“doesn’t mean that
the porters necessarily will strike, A

they believe in their cause and how
many are willing to strike it neces.

The strike ballot, according to
Randolph, is a secret ballot which
the Pullman Company will not see.
Only the United States mediation
board will review the strike vote in
order to determipe the existence of
the emergency. The Pullman Com.
pany will have no opportunity to
victimize a porter because he voted
for the strike since it will not be
able to find out who did or did not

16 Lynchings
Is the Record
For Last Year
NEW YORK, March 28.—TForty
one states were free from lynching
during 1927, states the roll of honor
prepared hy the Federal Council of
Churches through its commission on
race problems made public today.
The 16 tynchings which occurred
last year took place in seven states.
The number of victims was 14 léss
than i« 1926, one less than in 1926
and the same as in 1924,
The high mark of states free of
the evil was reached last year. In
1926 there were 28 states without
a lynching; in 19256 there were 38;
in 1924 there were 28, and in 1928
there were 39
Georgin and Florida for the first
time since records have been kept
now appear on the roll of honor.
Connecticnt has been added to the
list of states that never had a lynch.
ing because recent investigations of
the commission on race relations in
dicate that the case in 1886 re
corded as a lynching by the The Chie
ago Tribune, the accepted authority
for earl yrecords of the evil, prob
ably was a suicide of murderer hun
ted by a posse and not a lynching.
All except one of the seven
states that had lynchings in 1927
have been on the honor roll at least
for one year since 1922, Now only
one state in the country has an un
broken yearly record of the erime of
mob murder.
