DYER RAPS REPUBLICANS FOR | FAILURfe OF ANTI-LYNCH BILL ' Has Hard Words for Senate Judiciary ,<' Committee I? : ? - ?- - -r-U ' Chicago, June 25?SpeaHing last ..might bifuic jlie 17th Annual^Cwi- ' ference o'f the National Association ?for-the Advancement of Colored People, Representative L.

'"i "A .sincere and earnest effort has , been made by the House of Representatives in the past several, Congresses to pass this measure." .said. Con gressman Dyer. "In the 67th Con ' grss, this legislation passed by a very large majority. The United States . senate iaiieu in tnat congress to pass it. The House of Representa tives has been ready, and still is, to y has been considered useless, however, ^ to do so, in view of the action of the j j Senate when this legislation went bei rfore them in the GTth Congress. They }-j allowed a small nunibbr of .Senators \-ln put on a filibuster nn'l st?P Pas> sage there.

Among them J | was Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Sejjcretgry of the National Association j for the Advancement of Colored Feo} " -A* 3 pie. He made a very splendid adf'dress and furnished very complete 3 data and reasons for the enactment ? of tl^e legislation into law. In addi3 tion to this, he furnished an able le-" s gal brief showing the constitutionality o of the legislation. No one appeared 3 at the hesfring'Tn opposition to the Bill 3 Notwithstanding this, the Judiciary 5 Committee of the Senate not onljLhas s failed, but it has refused by a yote | of its members to favorably j'eport^ S this Bill to the Senate. ? I "Since the Judiciary Committee of 3 'he Senate has had this legislation di3 rectly before them, as stated above, s and as thev have had a hearing upon it and then refused to report it to the Senate, it is apparent to everyone jl_that the fault lies entirely with the (! Senate, and that it would not only i; be foolish from a legislative stand !* point, but that it would be insulting to those who are especially urging this j legislation to keep repeatedly pas, sing it in the House. "A number of the Senators who rc, cently have failed of renomination I had my opposition. The chief~Te, I sponsibility and the chief failure to sjact, su far as this Congress is con. cerned, lies wtih the Judiciary Committee of the Senate.
