Milking Millions. Starting in September, all British employers will be taxed $3.50 a week for each man on their payroll, and smaller amounts for women and boys ($1.75) and girls under 18 ($1.12).

As a result, most important rights cases are directed by non-Southern lawyers, who for all their frequent zeal and skill, are often unfamiliar...
Unable to make bail or hire a good lawyer, the Negro awaits his state court trial in a segregated jail; even the drunk tanks are generally separate, and the turnkeys are uniformly white. When he finally does go to trial, the Negro enters the courthouse that to him has become the symbol of all his afflictions. There may be a Negro janitor about the premises, but everyone else is white, from judges and prosecutors down to clerks.
