Aneer of Members
Who
Failed
To
Understand.
An
organization
here
known
as
the
Congressional
Council
whose
members
are trained
to judge
all matters
relative
to the
Virgin [slands
by what they
read
in
two local papers
of
St. Croix
and
St.
Thomas,
and
who
are
told
that
other
newspapers
are
of
the
“‘Judas”
and
“white
oppressors’’
type,
broke
all
re-
cords
on
Sunday
afternoon,
July
15th,
when
they expeiled Mr.
Samuel
Jackson
from their rooms.
This organization
conduets
its meetings
strictly according
to Roberts
Parliament-
ary
Manual,
and
oniy
disregard
these
rulings
when
anything
displeases

Dictator whose
