R^ta here Monday were far below the expected number of marchers, the spoMors
of the event said it was a success. But as the march proceeded, black elected officials
were conspiciously absent.
The marchers sang, chanted, listened to spe^hes, and marched around the North
Carolina State Governmental complex protesting low wa|^ and non-unionization of
woi^ers and demanding new trials and bail for tne Wilmington 10 and new trials for

Claims Suit
Filed To
Harass Jones
U. S. District Court Judge
Robert Hemphill dismissed on
Sept. 2, a contempt suit filed by
the North Carolina Prisoners
Labor Union against David L.
Jones. Secretary of the North
Carolina Department of Cor
rections.
The suit argued by Raleigh
Attorney Deborah Mailman
sought to hold Jone sin
cmtempt of an order of a
3-Judge panel requiring the
Corrections Department to
allow the Prisoners' Labor
Union the same privileges as
other organisations meeting
within the state's 77 prisons.
Judge Hemphill ruled that
the Corrections Department
complied with the April 2^
order of the court when new
regulations were issued that
required approval of ^-laws of
all organisations. The Pri
soner's Labor Union was not
approved.
Hemphill ruled that the
Corrections Department has
been willing to approve »he
Prltenert Labor Union "at all
times" and that the suit was
nied to harrass Corrections
Secretary Ehivld L. Jones.

Howard Nathaniel Lee, can
didate for N. C. Lt. Governor,

Dints around the state. But the

highest elective office is taking
nothing for granted.
Ms. Lorena Warner, his
campaign manager, said,
"There is an awful lot of
Interest in the field and Mr. Lee
is campaigning very hard."
She said Lee has spent a
large portion of this week
campaigning in the west
attempting to increase his base
of support.
When asked Wednesday
morning where Lee is strong
est. Ms. Warner said. "In the
Piedmont." She said that Lee,
being a former Mayor of
Chapel Hill, is best known by
the people of the Piedmont.
"They have been able to
evaluate his record," she said.
Lee’s campaigning in the
western part of the state takes
into account that he simply
"held his own" in that part of
the state in the primary race
when he came in front-runner,
but without a majority of the
votes.
Ms. Warner said Lee did best
in the Piedmont, "did well in
the east." and "simply held his
own" in the west
^ But since the primary, he has
increased his support "a great
deal in certain areas of the
west, from what I have been
able to measure in the field."
The major increase however,
has remained in the Piedmont.

Tuesday, Lee supporters will
