Editorial KKK Problems in Natchez Plant
The murder of a Negro worker at Armstrong Rubber Co. near Natchez Mississippi creates a dilemma for the firm as Negro groups blame the Ku Klux Klan while the Klan demands firing only of those it labels. The act faces both legal risk under the Civil Rights Act and potential boycotts and strikes, highlighting broader southern industrial tensions over race. The piece notes Armstrong’s civil rights compliance contrast with looming regional labor strife and cites the impossibility of identifying Klansmen among 1,200 workers, underscoring widespread suspicion and business risk. Spare the rod and you get a beat generation.
