Saluda landslide cleared and seed trade dispute grows
The Saluda landslide is cleared. Seedsmen petition government to end free distribution of seed alleging harm to business. Ira D. Sankey is described as hopelessly blind. Spot cotton last Wednesday stood at 13 cents. Chicago Negroes protested a lynching in Belleville, Illinois. A major Richmond Virginia streetcar strike sees nonunion workers replacing strikers as militia restore order. A Chicago Chronicle excerpt argues cotton's Negro labor origins remain contested with census-backed data from Texas counties showing majority white farm labor and lower Negro contributions. The murder case of Will Sarratt is heard in the Observer office cell.
