THE CORDELF DISPATCH '
WAGING CAMPAIGN
AGAINST LOAFERS'

‘‘WORK, TRAVEL OR GO TO JAIL"’ |
I 8 SLOGAN OF CRUSADE TO
ROUND UP ALL NOT EARNING
HONEST LIVING
Mhe Cordele police department, hack
ed up by Mayor Jones, has inaugurated
a relentless campaign against idlers
and loiterers. 'With the slogan, ‘¢ Work
travel or go to jail,”’ the police will
comb the city for all who are not
carning an honest living. The cam
paign is in the interest of improving
labor conditions and promoted as i |
tleterment to erime. It is stated b_vi
scme building contractors and othmsl
employing labor that regardless of tile
strenuous financial status of things and l
of the seeming shrplus in labor in the
community, that difficulty is oxpm'i(-n-l
ced in getting labor at reasonable wag
es. It is claimed that some classes
of laborers demand unreasonable wag- |
es, entirely out of keeping with ths
gituation generally, and refuse to work
at all unless these unreasonable wages
are paid.
{On the principle that idleness is the
devil’s work shop, amom the negroes
especially, the officers assume that va
‘grnm-y iz bringing about an increas
‘ing wave of petty thievery and ('rim.f.
- Mayor Jones has issued instructions
to the police 'l>partment to arrest all
who eannot show visible means of sup
port to be hrought before the recorders
court. In suych ecases as warrant such
action, those arrested will be bound
over to the superior court on charges
of vagrancy.
The erusade is on and it’s “‘Work,
travel or go to jail.?’
