ductiug an investigation Into prohi
bition violations here for several
weeks have discovered a nev- "rum
plpellne"with headquarters in New |
Orleans and branches In seven
states, it was learned Friday.
The “line” which is said to be
operated by a syndicate ot boot
leggers with a regular schedule ot
shipments, has been In operation
(or several months and has trans
ported millions of dollars' worth of
liquor, federal agents said.
Two other "rum rings,” one of

families. It is reported that the
Hcilon around Comer Is cleared of
negroes, and the same report comes
from all over the country.
Mr. Ross says the negroes most

Chicago. III., and other Middle Wes
tern cities, and some only as tar

by the car and train-loads. They
manage somehow to raise the pall

it is said that the shops, the
packing houses and other large
manufacturers and plants In the
Middle West are discharging the
I’oiaks and other foreign labor in
their works and supplanting them
with negroes from tne South.
These agents, t( Is said, dp the work;
auletly and secrctely-Their modus
operand! is to visit some settle

few local negro leaders, hire..them
to put out propaganda among their
people, offering plain labor as'hlgh
aa eighty cents an hour and oth-
Inducements. v
And these agents do not stop at
is. In order to frighten-, the
Wick. Into leaving, they post on
their homes and gathering places
threatening notices, signed K. K.
and thus scare the negro Into
leaving. It is doubtless true that

ot express shipments, transporting
cases ot liquor In tin cases as well
as trnnks haveueen disbanded as
a result of Investigation by fed-

throughout Texas and centralized

Nashville and Birmingham. Each
agent, federal agents said, poses as
