I AL ?NTI-LYNCHING f BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today issued a statement urging every colored man and woman in the United States, as soon as it is announced that the Dyer Bill is reported put of committee and is before Congress, to telegraph to his or her representative in Congress urging passage of the federal anti-lynching bill intro duced by Representative Leoni das C. Dyer of Missouri. There is every prospect that the bill for which the Association has been fighting for more than a year will soon be reported out of Com mittee, and will be ready for con sideration by the Congress. This is the first time a federal anti lynching bill has ever reached so favorable a stage, and there is every possibility provided colored people throughout the United States and white people who stand for law and order unite in demanding its passage, that it will bo enacted into law. As early as January, 1920 representatives of the National Association for the Advance, ment of Colored People attended the hearings of the bill in Wash ington. Arthur B. Spingarn. vice president of the National Association and Chairman of the Legal Committee of the Associa tion, was among those who ap peared, as were Archibald H. Grimko, Nevai H. Thomas and Professor George W. Cook of the Washington Branch, and James I Weldon Johnson, the national was not reported out, but a new ? bill was introduced by Mr. Dyer, in May: was favorebly reported, and was placed on the calendar of the House of Representatives ; a few days before the adjourn ment of the 66th Congress. It is ; substantially the same bill which [ is now before the House Judiciary i Committee. The bill provides: That the putting to death with i in any state of any person within the jurisdiction of that state-by a mob or rioteous assemblage of three or more persons openly acting in concert, is an offense against the United States; that every participant in such mob shall be guilty of murder and liable to prosecution in a District Court of the United States; that every county in which such mur der occurs shall be fined $10,000, recoverable in a United States Court; that every state or muni cipal officers who neglects all reasonable efforts to protect his prisoners shall be liable to pros ecution in a District Court of the United States, and may be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years, or by fine not exceeding $5,000 or both. In making public the present status of the Dyer Anti-Lynch ing Bill, the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People urges that colored people organize so that as soon as the Dyer bill is before Con gress, a flood of telegrsma, from white people x and colored, in every part of the United States will go to every Representative in Congress urging the passage of the measure.
