P*«r t 2 THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Published Weekly by the Bulletin Publishing Co 408 Court Block * St Paul, Minnesota Phone: Onrfleld 1480 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE: 602 Lyndale Ave. N.—Phone Hyland 1066 S. QUAY HERNDON Manager WALTER H. CHESNUTT Managing Editor MRS. AIMEE HALL Social Editor Subscription Rates: One year, 88.00; Six Months, $1.86 Advertising Rates Furnished on Application. Entered as second-class matter February 20. 1922, at the postofflee at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 8, 1879. Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First hi Servlet* The White South is receiving a general shake up as a result of the alleged beating to death of one Martin Talbert at a convict labor camp in Florida. The Governor of Florida is ashamed of the “blot" oq, his state. What of the other blots that have been charged to the southern system of convict labor? Oh, that was different; Those were not blots—just hundreds of Negro prisoners flogged to death in the same manner as Talbert. Just a sample of the inhu man treatment measured out to convicts who are unable to help their condition of servitude. . ~ This system of convict labor has been employed m the south for the past half century. Men have been tortured, beaten and in some instances killed in the camps where they are sent to work. Since this is true we may ask why the recent affair is causing so much publicity. Why the system as inaugurated a half century ago, should now be condemned as an intolerable evil? The reason for this abrupt change was the fact that the recent victim proved to be of Caucasian birth. And the majority of prev ious cases were Negro. This goes to prove the necessity of reach ing the white man vitally before he awakens to the responsibility of curbing an evil. So long as the circumstances affects the Negro only, it was of minor significance. Convict labor and farm peonage have been one of the curses that the southern Negro has suffered. Tf the recent shake up has no other good effect it will likely prevent a reproduction of some of the atrocities the Negro has been forced to suffer. Public senti ment is without doubt the greatest medium for the advancement or the retarding of an issue. The injustices of these practices are best known when newspapers give the correct data. But there is usually a necessity of much suffering before the evil can be up rooted. When we consider the reputation that “dear old Dixie” has made for lawlessness and the indisposition to foster the spirit of Americanism, we wonder from whence comes the pride of being a southern gentleman. The true significance of the railroad situation will not be known by the rank and file until every man who is interested in the prob lem he has before him tells of his experiences. That is what “Ye men of the rails” is seeking to do. The railroad question is a tre mendous one. A question that only the railroad man himself knows. Why not write your opinion to “Ye men of the rails?” We are anxious to assist in solving your problem. There are many things for which you seek adjustment. There is a way for betterment. Don’t you think so? Then lets get together. We want you to feel that the Northwestern Bulletin is your medium. That your trouble is ours. Mr. Horace S. Scurry, veteran railroad man has many things to reveal to his fellow associates. You have many things you are anxious to relate. Send your plan to “Ye Men of the Rail.” Help us to make the sentiment felt in places where it is not at present. The more in harmony we work the greater results can be gained for good. Eventually this will be done why not now. Now is the time. “The Rulletin is the paper. Remember that we are for your cause first, last and always.” You will remember I said we can and will start a movement of interest to our people. In the first place it will be easy for us to start a movement because we are always moving. Now then gentlemen, let us all begin to talk about Local State and National Unity as the crying need of our people today and then let us call special attention to the Local conference in St. Paul, and let us talk and talk of these things everywhere we go until other cities will call such local conferences who can tell the story of good things that are sure to come from such conferences. Horace S. Scurry, with the C. K. & Q.
