Press Committee: C. A. Bass; F. M. Roberts; Fred Williams; Harry Levette; Mrs. Georgia Robinson; Mrs. Sadie C. Cole, Chairman. DR. H. C. HUDSON, Pres. There was little of the spectacular in the business progress of the Southwest during the month of January. Most manufacturing lines are between seasons and have not gotten into production on spring styles. Others are slowed up by necessity of inventory or annual overhaul. In the merchandising fields clearance sales are customary and sales by jobbers to some extent await their result. It is also a season at which both the individual business man and those who set themselves up as reviewers of business conditions issue private or public summaries of the previous year's results. While the Southwest Business Review has already offered its contribution to this collection, we are inclined to reflect a report which reached us from a national corporation which has a branch in Los Angeles. For this concern 1926 was the greatest year on record with sales exceeding $40,000,000. As was customary 1927 was given a sales quote showing a proposed advance of $1,200,000. Throughout the year 1927 district representatives were constantly being called on the carpet by the general management because actual results fell below this quota. Indeed the year ended $1,500,000 below the quota or $200,000 below 1926. The first impression was therefore that 1927 had been a very unsatisfactory year. Further study of the results, however, showed that the year was the second greatest in the company's history being only exceeded by the peak year of 1926, second that while sales were a little smaller, profits had remained as great as in the year previous. The impression of slowness had come merely from comparison with the speed of the record breaking 1926. We cannot expect a continuous succession of new peaks. January suffers each year a similar disadvantage as a business month in the minds of most people. It is inevitably compared with December which in the retail trade handles about twice as much business as the usual monthly average. In many lines executives determine on the beginning of the year that they are going to institute far reaching economies. They rigorously trim advertising appropriations and reduce overhead. The general result is a slowing up which does not change markedly in the spring season with its enthusiasm for new styles, models and sales plans thaws the reserve and resawakens the willingness to expand again. So it is this year, the general volume of business measured by bank clearings, building construction, manufacturing output, retail trade, or foreign commerce, is maintaining an excellent level in comparison with previous Januarys. From many business men you hear the question "How is business?" as though they were looking for something unusual. In most cases if you are able to examine their sales or profits, it will be found business is good. BAPTIST HEAD STATES CONVEN TION'S SIDE OF SCHOOL CONTROVERSY Chicago, Ill., Feb. 8. (By A. N. P.)—While not inclined to enter into any newspaper controversy with Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Girls, but fearing that the public might be led to believe that Miss Burroughs was the founder of the institution and that the convention was endeavoring to do her a gross injustice from the article written by her sometime ago, Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention of America, issued the following statement to the Associated Negro Press here Friday morning: "The National Training School, as an idea, was first approved by the Wome's Auxiliary Convention upon a recommendation made by Mrs. Layton in her annual address in 1901. From then until 1906, the Women's Auxiliary Convention advocated the feasibility of such an enterprise. They paid the salary of Miss Burroughs and the incidental expenses incurred to create the sentiment essential to the establishment of the school. Both the National Baptist Convention and Women's Auxiliary Convention appointed each one person from the 40 states then cooperating with said convention and named them the Training School Committee, empowering them to make all preliminary arrangements required for the founding of the school. Little Rock Lynching has Left Bad Aftermath N. A. A. C. P. INVESTIGATOR REPORTS BRUTALITY AND EXODUS FROM ARKANSAS TOWN New York, Feb. 3.—An investigator for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 65 Fifth Avenue, has just returned from the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, investigating the unpunished mob hanging and burning of a Negro, John Carter there last May, reports that many Colored people have left the city and "This committee made its first report to both conventions in Memphis in 1906. It recommended that the school be located at Washington, D.C., which report was adopted, with President E. C. Morris, presiding. In this meeting a smaller committee: Rev. J. F. Walker, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Mrs. J. I. Layton, Miss N. H. Burroughs, Mrs. S. W. Layton, Rev. Griffes, and President Morris, was nominated and given the power to draw up articles of incorporation. The Women's Auxiliary Convention paid the first $1,000 that was given to purchase the land where the school is now located. "In 1903 Miss Burroughs, the corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary Convention, a member of the committee on incorporation said: "At the meeting in Memphis last year, this city was selected as the most desirable place in which to locate the National Baptist Training School for Women and Girls. A committee composed of Reverends L. G. Jordan, A. R. Grigs, E. C. Morris, and Franklin Walker, and Mesdames Willie Layton, Julia M. Layton and the corresionding secretary was appointed to go to the city of Washington during this conventional year and locate a suitable location and see if same could be secured to incorporate. This committee was called to meet in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, January 7, 1907. Pursuant to call, three members were present, two were represented by proxy and the other two sent letters. It was some time before a desirable location could be found but we are glad to report to you that a six-acre site, situated on the Benning Road, at what is known as Lincoln Heights, about twenty-five minute ride from Fifthteen street, and New York avenue, has been secured for the sum of $6,000. "Lawyer William L. Pollard was selected by the committee to represent you, and he has submitted the certificate of title from the District and Washington Title Company. "It is very fortunate that we are holding our annual meeting in this city, so that the representatives may all see the place and the Trustees will not only have the opportunity of making a personal visit to inspect the grounds, but the property may be formally conveyed to them as a whole by the trustees who have represented you. We know that it would be many years before the convention would meet in Washington again, but that this meeting would be made memorable if the denomination could lay the foundation for the first educational institution Negro Baptists as a whole have ever attempted to erect." (Continued on Page Two) To Deliver Address On Little Rock Lynching has Left Bad Aftermath N. A. A. C. P. INVESTIGATOR REPORTS BRUTALITY AND EXODUS FROM ARKAN. SAS TOWN. New York, Feb. 3. An investigator for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has just returned from the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, investigating the unpunished mob hanging and burning of a Negro, John Carter there last May, reports that many Colored people have left the city and that brutalities practised against Negroes, including the killing of an aged Negro by two white boys as "a lark", have since then gone unpunished. The Negro lynched was known to be insane and feeble-minded. He had been accused of beating two women in an automobile. When caught by a mob he was hanged without police interference, the body being dragged by an automobile through the streets of Little Rock, followed by a long process shouting, blowing horns and rioting. The mob took the body to an important Negro business center, at the corner of 9th street and Broadway, and there publicly burned it, one innocent Negro who happened upon the scene being beaten into insensibility. Police are reported to have been bystanders at the lynching and burning, the Mayor, Sheriff, and Chief of Police having "left town." The Grand Jury declined to indict anyone for the outrage the foreman or the Grand Jury, Gordon N. Peay, asking that the jury be discharged on the ground, that three-fourths of his associates declined to act on the evidence of criminal negligence of officials, which had been presented. Since then there has been no Grand Jury action. The N. A. A. C. P. investigator reports that even the white people who were most outraged at the mob murder, now want it forgotten. The investigator further reports that the District Attorney stated it was virtually impossible to procure jury action against white people accused of crime against Negroes. A number of cases of murder of Negroes by white men have occurred in which there has been no action. The investigator's report continues: "A particularly outrageous case was one of two white boys who went out one night with the definite and express intention of killing a Negro, for a lark. They shot a harmless old man and left beside the road. While it was felt that this was going too far and such a tendency on the part of youth should be curbed, still a jail sentence was considered too severe a penalty. The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, and afterwards expressed the opinion that the scare and expense of the trial were punishment, enough Mr.—— said that he believed that such cases as this were worse in themselves than the lynching of last summer and showed the hopelessness of bringing any kind of justice where the race issue was involved." White sentiment, the N. A. A. C. P. investigator reports, would now. oppose any action against the lynchers, and continue: "A great many Negroes have moved away from Little Rock as a result of this lynching. Those with whom I talked felt that the outlook was de-pressing. They do not think it likely that the occurrence will be repeated but have no real assurance." N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY CONFERS WITH TINKHAM IN WASHINGTON New York, Feb. 3. -Returning to this city after a recent tour of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports finding increased assurance among colored people, greater power through their organization, and a determination to make themselves felt as a political voting block. "It talked with many prominent Negroes and addressed many Negro gatherings," said Mr. Bagnall. "Everywhere I heard high praise of the effectiveness of the N. A. A. C. P. work and program and of its focussing the power of the Negro group. It is giving colored people courage everywhere to stand for their due. "During the trip I addressed the students of Ohio State University, in the sociology classes of Professor H. A. Miller, where students interest was shown in all phases of race relations. "In Milwaukee, I addressed an interracial forum numbering among its attendants, the Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese, the Dean of the Cathedral, the Health Commissioner of Milwaukee and a number of University professors. To these people I pointed out the futility of segregation. I showed that it tended to increase rather than to reard the mixture of races, since it encouraged fair Negroes to relieve themselves by passing into the white race at the rate of 160,000 every ten years." New York, Feb. 3.—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has conferred with Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts on the resolution calling for an investigation of disfranchisement of the Negro in Southern States. The resolution is to be vigorously pushed in the present Congress and Southern legislators given full opportunity to explain how the 15th Amendment of the Constitution is being nullified at a time when they are demanding more rigorous enforcement of the 18th Amendment. On his return from Washington, Mr. Johnson said: "Colored citizens have the opportunity of expressing themselves to their Representatives in Congress on the resolution which Mr. Tinkham has introduced and will fight for. It is House Resolution Number 34 and provides for an investigation by the Committee on the Census of the denial of the vote to Negroes; the report of the Committee when made to be used as a basis for reducing the representation of such States as disfranchise Negroes. "Mr. Tinkham has given me the names of the Representatives, whom it will be well to write to urging favorable action on House Resolution Num. 1056. The names of these men the States they represent are as follows: John Q. Tilson, Republican, Floor Leader, New Haven, Conn.; Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of House, Cincinnati, Ohio; Republican Steering Committee of the House; George F. Dapow, Philadelphia, Pa.; Edward E. Denison, Marion, Ill.; Nicholas J. Bianett, The Dalles, Oregon; Allen T. Treadway, Stockbridge, Mass.; Walter H. Newton, Minneapolis; Homer Hoch, Madison, Kansas; Frederick I. Lechbach, Newark, N. J.; S. Wallsace Dampsey, Lockport, N. Y.; Royal C Johnson, Aberdeen, South Dakota. (Continued on Pare Four) LINCOLN Hazel T. Gottschalk, a well known teacher, and organist of the First A. M. E. Zion Church, was awarded the Bachelor Degree by the University of California at the end of the semester which terminated on February 4th. In addition to receiving the degree, Miss Gottschalk also received the Junior High School Teacher's Credential. Quite some time ago, she completed the teachers' course and received the general teachers' certificate. Miss Gottschalk was reared and educated in Los Angeles and is one of the outstanding young women in this community with spotless character and enviable reputation. The Eagle has been in close touch with this young woman for a number of years and realize and value her presence in this community.

Wife And Lover Attack Husband And Friend BREAK HUSBAND'S JAW AND ARM: STAR FRIEND Smiley King was treated at the Recessing Hospital for a broken jaw and arm and William Johnson, 737 E. 24th for deep stab wounds in the left arm suffered at the hands of Mabel King, wife of Smiley and an unknown man, said to be a lover of the woman. On Sunday night last, King and Johnson, a friend, while driving on Griffith near 38th, were accused by the woman who has been recently estranged from King and told to come to the car in which she and another man were sitting. King did so, and the man, alighting from the car, attacked him violently with a hammer, breaking his law and fracturing his arm, and inflicting numerous scalp wounds. The woman was helping beat her husband armed with a jack handle when Johnson approached to attempt to demonstrate with them. Running to meet him, Mabel aimed several blows at him with the jack handle, missing him, but succeeded in stabbing him twice in the arm before he could disarm her. The woman was arrested and later released by officers of Newton Station pending the capture of her companion who escaped. The officers of Newton Station except to effect his capture in a few days. --- NEWTON STREET POLICE STATION SHIFTS In keeping with the system now in invogue in the Los Angeles Police Department another shift of officers has been made by Chief of Police Davis which sends Captain L. L. McClary to the command of San Pedro Station. Captain Oakley is brought from San Pedro Station to take charge of Newton Street Station. Detective Lieut Bert Massey, veteran vice crusader transferred from Georgia Street Station to Newton Street Division; also Detective Lieut. Nolan from the same station. Sergeants Casselberry and Leland have been transferred from Newton St. Station to San Pedro. MISSING WOMAN FOUND DEAD (Hr. a. N. P.) New York, N. Y. Jan. 30.—Mrs. Milfred Wallace, 529 Lenox Avenue, had been missed by her neighbors for two or three weeks. No one was able to account for her strange absence, and various attempts were made to enter her apartment. Finally, after three weeks passed, the police broke into the apartment and discovered the aged woman in bed dead. Police say that she had evidently retired and passed on while asleep, and examining physicians, called in, declared that she had been there for more than two weeks. The body wasurned over to the city for burial. EVA O. SOLOMON ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE, SUN. In keeping with the World Friendship Week in the churches throughout the country, the program was very fittingly conducted, at the First Baptist Church of Santa Ana last Sunday night when Mrs. E. O. Solomon ad dressed more than 500 persons from the subject in keeping with the observance, "The Travails and Trials of the Negro" which proved quite inspiration 1 al to her many hearers. She spoke at length of the accomplishments of the Negro and the many obstacles encountered by him in his onward march to greater things. Especial mention was made of the number of churches and Sunday schools among our group and incidentally mentioned the professional attachments urging that we be given a square deal that we might be able to meet the other peoples of the earth as a man of equal opportunities. THE latest invention, television, enables man with his eye to span the ocean and see visions on the other side. IT is time to get back. The occasion has arisen when we mothers should realize that our most sacred duty is the proper training of our children. Women are needed in every walk, but their first and great duty is in the home, especially if there are children. The Hickman case has to some extent, opened the eyes of the Caucasian women. They realize that the pendulum has swung too far away from the old fashioned way of bringing up the child in the way you would have it go, hence through the columns of the papers and from the rostrum, they are suggesting that mothers give more time to the rearing of their boys and girls and advise that possibly the old fashioned way in home training is the better way. WE predict that women are going to be more active in the coming Presidential and other elections, than ever before, and if they stay safe. It is high time, if we hope for the preservation of the Union and the saving of a nation from the rags of graft and the child of its imagination crime, that the women of the nation take a clean hand in political affairs. It is far more essential, just now, that we turn our attention to the development of a crop of physically, mentally, spiritually strong men and women for the coming generations than to the development of powerful corporations for the furthering influences of certain men and measures. EDUCATION prepares a man for life's activities. It shapes and fashions his ideas to fit ever changing conditions in all walks of life. The broadest and most practical education is gained by observation. There is a vast difference between education and learning however. A man may be well educated and not learned. Nevertheless the educated person has a better foundation for higher training than the one who has been denied the opportunity of education on account of isolation, lack of travel and proper contact. As a group, are we of California getting all we should out of our natural educational opportunities? Have we our porata in the high schools and universities of this city and state? What about scholarship? In looking over the record, we find in the "Daily Bruin" of Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1927, the University of Southern California's official daily that "out of last year's graduating class of 410 seniors, none had an "A" average and only three had an average of "B" plus, thirty-six, less than ten per cent, made a "B" average or better, while sixty-five per cent or nearly two-thirds, made an average grade from "C" to "C—". As a group, we have every reason to feel proud that out of the three honor students, we hold claim to one. But, along the line of scholarship, can't we even do better? RELIGION is love, we preach. Well, if religion is love, we would like to ask those who preach this gospel—what is love? We find that as practiced by most of those who preach it, to a great extent, it means "so long as you agree with me in every detail" or "do my bidding, you are my brother and my sister." But, is this love? Rather is love not a charitable feeling for even those who do not see and believe exactly as we do. Is love not tolerable to the extent that we love our fellowman regardless of his race, color, national or religious affiliation? Because a man claims that he is able to perceive videos of those who have passed beyond the well that accompanies the mortal from the immortal, is that good reason why he should be thrown aside from our love circle? Oh! for a closer walk with love. A calm and peaceful attitude - of mind; A life that speaks louder than words. And a kindly trend of mind.

AND NAOMI AVENUE SPEND SUNDAY WITH US PARTICIPATING 3:00 P.M., BIG MASS MEETING, ALL CHURCHES BAPTIST CONTROVERSEY (Continued from Page One) "The Minutes of the convention of 1912 show that Burroughs made the statement, 'The growth of your institution at Washington has been marvelous.' And in 1915, Miss Burroughs in summing up the assets of the Woman's Auxiliary Convention said: 'We have purchased six acres of land at Washington, D. C. and are operating the National Training Scol and have spent $72,111.73 for land, buildings, equipment, and running expenses.' These facts show that the institution was not founded by any individual. As to the National Baptist Convention desiring to manage and control the institution, I will say that it would not be of any advantage whatever to the National Baptist Convention to own and control the National Training School and further that the National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A. is not trying to own or manage the school and has not made one effort to do so. Our own records in our office, which are open to inspection will verify this assertion. "The National Baptist Convention, U. S. A. because the Women's Auxiliary Convention requested it, has been insisting that the trustees of the National Training School permit the Women's Auxiliary Convention, which founded it, to nominate the trustees thereof instead of having an independent, self-perpetuating board as at presents." "Concerning the criticism of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, the Reverend declared: "The National Baptist Theological Seminary, considering its youth, has been a fair success. In the last two two years, we have paid our teachers in full, except for one half month. Up until this year the trustees of the institution did not look with favor on a board department for the Seminary; hence, the Convention has made no provisions for such." Dr. Williams then pointed out that this is not the first time that the waters have been muddled with respect to board affiliated with the church and the manner of their selection. The condition had its genesis in 1915 and 1916. "In 1915," said Dr. Williams, "when the Boyd Publishing Company split from the Convention, the organization began anew an investigation of the charters of all of its sub-sidary bodies and found the National Training School was more remote from the control of the Women's Auxiliary Convention than was the Boyd Publishing Board from the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., and since then has been taking steps to remedy this condition." READ! THINK! ACT! The pulpit of the First A. M. E.

ANNA GILLESPIE --- If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Bare-footed Boy, once lived in this Land; No hardships a > hard, but what he'd endure. His Parents were Poor; of Wealth they had none. But America beasts of no great Son. He worked Him a Trojan, both early and late. No work was too hard for this Boy, who lived Right. He handed the Axe, with all of his Might. A Maul, too, he used on A sharp Iron Wedge. In splitting some Rails, that he might be fed. Every inch of the way, from Poverty's Gate. He labored his way, to his high estate. A Man he desired some day he would be. Both Happy and Brave, in this Land of the Free. He won his bright Laurels, by Courage and Might; He Fongt like a Tiger to do what was Right. With A Heart full of Love, and Courage so brave; He loved his own Freedom and pitted the Slave. With a stroke or his Pen, he set them all Free; of Gold; His word, and his Honor, they never were Sold. But like a Brave Hero, he Died at his Post. In the Land of the Free, which he had Loved most. Of what he had done, he never would Boast. He was Gentle, and Kind, and Loved by a Host. There never was one, more Kind, or more True. That stood by our Banner, the Red, White and Blue. He Believed in the Master, the Christ up above. Who filled him with Sunshine, and His Perfect LOVE. He has Passed on to Heaven; this World he'd outgrown. He left here behind him, the Seed he had Sown. He was called to a Mansion, that is up Above. A crown, toot of Glory, he had Won by his Love. Any Boy, in this Country, in this land of the Free. Can Climb up the Heights as well as did he. If you'll only Try, with All of your Might. To be Brace, and Truthful, and Do what is Right. The End will be Perfect, and your Life like a Song. Will be Remembered by many, Years after you're gone. after you're gone. Look up to our Lincoln, an American Boy. Whose Life was Pure Gold, without any Alloy. 1457 Griffith Ave. Los Angeles, Cal. "Health Week" Set For April 1-8 (By: A. N. P.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 31.—The fourteenth annual National Negro Health Week will be observed throughout the country April 1-8 during which period attention will be directed towards the condition of Negro health, causes of morbidity of the race and remedial means for improving conditions. The observance is sponsored by the National Negro Business League with support of the U. S. Public Health service and other governmental and private social agencies. Indications were apparent at two preliminary meetings of the committee on promotion, one in Washington D. C., in November and the other at Tuskegee Institute in December that the week will be well supported and more widely observed than at any previous time.

RENNISON THE NEW YORKER LOSAERT BARBORO Secretary of Treasury --- A RAGE ENTERPRISE, OWNED AND CONUCTED BY REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS. BOSHA L. BMITA MANAGER New York, N. Y., Jan. 30—Having surrendered himself at a local police station, Raymond Snyder, former manager of the Lincoln Theater of this city, was placed under arrest on a charge of larceny following the complaint of the theater owner, Mrs. Maria C. Downs. With Snyder were two colored girls, Flosse Burate and Essie Reid, also charged with larceny. When the case was called in court last Thursday, Snyder was ordered held in $1,000 bail for further hearing. Mrs. Dowes told the court that she had employed private detectives to watch her manager for over a month. It is further alleged in the complaint that when Snyder was brought into the offices of the Lincoln, tickets were found in his pockets which had been marked by detectives. The amount stolen was not given, but it is alleged that the sum of over $5,000 was stolen during the past year. The young women, who were also ordered held in ball, are said to have confessed their guilt before their denials of the crime in court. GENERAL HOME ATTERSON ST. OLT 1844 c. None. E.

MILL AARL PINNAM (Continued from Page One) TEXT OF REGLUTIONS Since Mr. Tinkham's Resolution, House Resolution, Number 34, is of vital interest to colored people throughout the country, the N. A. A. C. F. herewith gives the text of it in full: "WHEREAS no greater political discrimination could exist between the several States of the Union and of their citizens than the general coniferment upon each of the States alike of the power to prescribe qualifications for electors (subject alone to the inhibitions of the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States) upon a basis of population, and the coexistence of an extensive and evasive unconstitutional denial of the exercise of the franchise to some citizens by some States, resulting in disproportionate political power; and "WHEREAS the fourteenth article, in addition to, and Amendment of, the Constitution of the United States, Section 2, provides: "When the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State or the members of the legislature thereof is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens' shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State;' and "WHEREAS it is generally and commonly alleged and is susceptible of proof that in many States of the United States the Constitutions thereof and the laws enacted by their legislatures have, in effect, denied or abridged to large numbers of citizens qualified under the Constitution of the United States the right to vote in such States, and that such alleged nullification of the Constitution of the United States whether direct or indirect, constitute flagrant and persistent disregard and violation of the fundamental law of the land and is subversive wholly of law and of liberty itself; and "WHEREAS in 1930 an enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States under Article 1, Section 2 is to be taken for the purpose among others of reapportionment or Representatives in Congress among the several States: Therefore. "BE-IT RESOLVED, that the Committee on the Census, or any subcommittee thereof, is hereby authorized and directed to proceed forthwith to make diligent inquiry respecting the extent to which the States in any State in violation of the Constitution of the United States; and said Committee is authorized to send for persons and papers, to administer oaths to witnesses, to conduct such inquiry at such times and places as the Committee may deem necessary, and to report its findings and recommendations to the House at the earliest possible moment, either separately or together, with such report as said Committee may submit in connection with proposed legislation providing for a reapportionment of Representatives in Congress to the end that such reapportionment shall be constitutional in form and in fact." New York, Feb. 3.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today cited as an example of intelligent appeal for justice to white sentiment, a letter written to a Winson-Salem, North Carolina daily by a member of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. The letter, written by G. R. Dorr, Chairman of the Grievance Committee of the Winston-Salem Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. contrasts the prison sentences meted out to two offenders, one white, the other colored. It was published in the Winston-Salem Journal and reads as follows: "To the Editor of the Journal: Paying due thanks to the editorial attitude of fairness and impartiality which characterizes the editorial writings of your staff. I wish to express an opinion on some recent events in our State which afford an ironical contrast to an open-minded man." "Some weeks ago a Gaston County Negro was given the maximum sentence for first degree burglary, although he entered a man's house unarmed. About the same time a Forsyth County white man was given ten years on a manslaughter conviction for having deliberately shot a colored woman to death. "It appears to the writer if a maximum sentence were just in the case of the Gaston County Negro, it would have been just in the case of the Forsyth County white man. If the Gaston County Negro was justifiably indicted for first degree burglary it is certainly fair that Forsyth County white man should have been indicted for a higher degree of murder. "The American Negro expects this kind of justice, not only because the courts are the tribunals of all the people but because he will only be enabled to fulfill all the duties of citizenship when such encouragement is given." / "With much appreciation for the im- partial editorsials that your hapez have printed on this subject, I am "G. R. DERR. Chairman of Governance Committee, Winston Salem Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." N. A. A. C. P. Gets Reversal of Penalty on Colored Postman New York, Feb. 3. 3—Reversal of the penalty imposed on a colored postman at City Hall Station, New York, has been obtained by representations made to the Postmaster by the National association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. The case arose as follows: A clerk in the City Hall Station marked a letter sent from the White House in Washington, and thereafter under a frank and postage free; "four cents postage due." Walter W. Hutchinson, the postman, on delivering the letter insisted upon collecting the four cents before he would leave the letter. The addresses paid the four cents and complained to Washington. As a result, the clerk was penalized by reduction of $100 in salary and Mr. Hutchinson was transferred to an uptown station from City Hall and reduced in grade. The N. A. A. C. P. pointed out to the Postmaster that the punishment of Mr. Hutchinson seemed inequitable since he had merely obeyed Post Office rules in collecting the four cents on a letter marked by the clerk "postage due." In reply to the N. A. A. C. P. the Postmaster wrote that Mr. Hutchinson had been restored to City Hall Station. MORRIS LEWIS LEAVES DEFENDER (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, ill., Jan. 30—Morris Lewis, circulation manager of The Chicago Defender, resigned this week after four years in that capacity with the world's greatest weekly.

MATT SOLOMON The Kansas Club of the Methodist Church is scheduled to put on one of the most auspicious banquets in its history on next Monday evening when an elaborate program is to be rendered. Tickets have been out for some time and everything points to a record crowd as the Kansas Club of Los Angeles is invited to participate. The banquet will be held in the social hall of the church. --- Interesting services were held at Friendship Church last Sunday all day At the morning service Rev. E. E. Burkholter, former pastor of the First Colored Baptist Church of Phoenix, Arizona and Moderator of the Arizona State Convention preached a most mastful sermon in the morning to a crowded congregation which was most enthusiastically received. Rev Burkholter has but recently come to these parts to recuperate from his strenuous work while in Arizona and this visit has only served to increase his popularity. He is accompanied by his wife and his five year old daughter. They expect to remain in Los Angeles for an indefinite period stopping at the present at 1515% East 20th street. --- The Missionary Society of Friendship Baptist Church was given a wonderful lecture on last Sunday afternoon at their regular First Sunday meeting when J.

Much enthusiasm is manifest and the prospects are for a record affair. --- The Brotherhood and Euzellian Classes of Friendship Baptist, Church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Parish on Morton Avenue last Tuesday evening to which a large crowd attended. After the regular routine of business an elaborate lunch was served. The Parishes are noted for their pretentious spreads, and the men were certainly glad they were invited there. These classes are doing a wonderful work under the leadership of Wm Harrison and Roy Turner respectively and the house to house meetings have been quite an incentive to the membership to keep up the enthusiasm so much evinced by the members. --- The Brotherhood meeting scheduled for the 23rd of which the New York Club is hostess will be a big affair as the men of the various brotherhoods of the city will attend.

Heretofore the members have been rather scattered. Basketball appears to be the outstanding sport at the present time, although they are working up a tennis tam. In a few months they expect to get started on baseball. The second basketball game of the season was played last Thursday night at the Sutter Junior High School where the Tausant Segette was defeated by the U. C. A. C. Sexette by a score of 27 to 2. The loss was not due to the ability of the player but largely to the incompleteness of the team. Next Tuesday night they play the Y. W. C. A. and all of the "regulars" are expected to be in action. Mr. Luke Rosser left Sacramento last Tuesday for his home in Los Angeles where he will continue his college work. The Easter Monday Ball will be given this year by the Tausant Club at the Cook's and Watters' Union Hall. This will be the club's second annual ball.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Entered as Second Class Matter, November 17, 1913, at the Post Office at Los Angeles, California, under the act of March 3, 1919. J. B. BASS C. A. BASS R. G. LAMAR Editor Managing Editor Business Manager Advertising Manager All News Copy must reach this office not later than Wednesday Noon, and Advertising Copy not later than Thursday Morning to insure publication in current issue of this paper. Man wisely sets apart one day in seven as a period of rest and change. Sunday is the day to emerge from the rut and groove of life and do something different. The successful farmer periodically renews the soil. The horticulturist feeds and waters the roots of his plants. All life has a tendency to run down if not recreated. Perpetual motion does not exist anywhere. Purely as a matter of health and mental hygiene, Sunday is an incomparable boon, a means by which tired nature may pause and take a fresh start: Make Sunday a day of rest. To do so does not mean to permit the day to go to seed through inactivity. It is the common tasks and common pleasures that should be put aside, and something uncomfort taken to fill their places. The real Sabbath breaker is the rest-breaker. Life is exhausting at it stains. Why take the precious seventh day to further complicate matters? This applies to the man who takes his business problems home with him for settlement or solution over Sunday. It applies to the student who pores over his lessons on the Sabbath. It applies to the home-maker who employs the seventh day to catch up with the interrupted work of the week. Efficiency experts have proven that a man can do as much work in an eight-hour day as he can in a ten-hour day. The two extra hours, are not production hours due to the bodily and mental poisons of fatigue. It is simple efficiency then to use the precious seventh day, set apart by common consent for rest and renewal, and live up to its finest possibilities. Emulate a famous lord chancellor of England who used to throw off his robe at the end of the week and say, "Lie there, Lord Chancellor," and go home to his family and his hobbies. The man who works on Sunday, or who works seven days per week, is not getting anywhere. Nor is he adding a dollar to his bank account that will not be demanded of him sooner or later to pay homage for a broken contract with nature.

Fear does more harm in the world than all the fevers. It suppresses hopes, saps the energies and destroys the vitality of millions every day. The fear of future punishment has driven many to insanity and clouded many lives. The old-fashioned preaching of hellfire to terrify sinners into pretention of religious belief has damned many a soul on the spot. The practice is passing away, but it torments many poor souls in insane asylums yet. Religious teaching is becoming less a debasing threat and more the uplifting promise of the mercy of God. It is better religion, and we are a better people because of it. The workingman with his wife and children dependent upon him lives in the ever-disturbing fear of the notice in his pay envelope that his services are no longer required. The man whose earnings barely keep his family from week to week lives in lifelong dread that poisons his disposition and prevents him from holding up his head as a free man. Labor unionism is doing much to make a man's occupation secure, but it is still the most depressing dread of millions: There is nothing else to be so much feared as fear itself. It kills something good and helpful in all of us. It is questionable, even among the most truly orthodox, if anybody ever got to heaven merely by fearing hell. No man ever increased his industrial efficiency by fearing loss of his job. There is no good at all in fear. IT NEVER CHANGES Sunday night sparking is a sac But for it, life would be at a and race suicide would become a sion. The man who has not tender home from Sunday evening servi while" is apt to be a crusty bach he never knew one in her most cha The man whose youth was n night kiss stolen from not too un his life. Sunday night sparking is a sacred institution. Sunday night sparkling is a sacred institution. But for it, life would be at a certain age not worth living and race suicide would become a matter of serious apprehension. The man who has not tender memories of taking his girl home from Sunday evening service and going in "for a little while" is apt to be a crusty bachelor, hating women because he never knew one in her most charming attitude. The man whose youth was never mellowed by a Sunday night kiss stolen from not too unwilling lips has missed half his life. Half? Yes, nine-tenths! The Sunday nights when the fire, burned low—and the lamp too—hold a hallowed place in the memories of every normal life. The low fire and the low light have cast a softened glow that reaches all the way to the grave, and maybe beyond it. The Sunday nights when the lamp too—hold a hallowed place in mal life. The low fire and the low glow that reaches all the way to the it.

They who are old and heart-hardened may sneer at it now and think that young hearts should be calloused as old ones; but time was with all of us when we looked forward to Sunday night as the golden time of the week. And our fathers did it. And our grandfathers. And our great-grandfathers. It is an ancient human custom that did not originate with our own youth or fade with it. Our children do it, in spite of our frowns. And our grandchildren will. And our great-grandchildren. Generations come and go, but Sunday night sparking remains. FALSE BROADCASTING So many persons of this latter news agencies, and send forth from statements about both individuals a reflect credit upon the community becoming a matter of serious contown newspapers to be sure they be they have a reasonable assurance person or persons sending it forth. So many persons of this latter day have labeled themselves news agencies, and send forth from the Pacific Coast ridiculous statements about both individuals and institutions which do not reflect credit upon the community in which they live, that it is becoming a matter of serious concern. We advise our out-of-town newspapers to be sure they broadcast only news for which they have a reasonable assurance of the responsibility of the person or persons sending it forth. Here is a sample excerpt of this class sent out of this city by so-called "news service" labelling itself G. S. N. G. S.: "Do you know that we can count the Negro business on our two hands in this city?" asked Wm. Nickerson, president of the Golden State Life Insurance Company, "It is a shame indeed," he averred, "but it is a fact." As a matter of fact when we read the article we were satisfied Mr. Nickerson never said any such thing and to verify our thought we called him up and he said to us that such a statement was erroneous and he wished to emphatically deny it. http://www.163.com If You Fail to Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened GLE It is very true that we fall way short of having the business that we should have, but when it comes to saying and broadcasting, that we have less than ten it is ridiculous to say the least. We can count at least a hundred without any effort. This should, effectively quiet the recurring alarmist predictions as to early exhaustion and is particularly important in assuring the future of lines, the season, Southern California's position of lead downward volume with a year ago condition which it manufacturing.

The L. A.

This is one of the direct results of the building of the new hotel now in course of erection at 41st and Central and of the suggestion of Dr. J. A.

WHEATON If President Coddile had any doubts as to racial discrimination in the South, he had ocular proof on his visit to Cuba. Florida as an outstanding State in Negro haiting. Its system of peonage and record of brutal activities have challenged the attention of civilization. Miami has long been known as the most rabid Negro hating municipality in that commonwealth and, not even for a visit to childcare, not even for the nation, is active of the nation. By order of the Mayor all Negroes, adults and children, were ordered to form on the road at the edge of the town. Yes, there are streets where people of color are forbidden to traverse unless by special permit. What the Negroes of Miami should have done, they should have caused their President to wander at their absence. It would have brought forcibly home to him the reason why. We think that the N. A. A. C. P. purs is tabulating the State of California with a lynching. The beating given a prisoner in the Los Angeles jail which was the cause of his death could hardly be classed as such. Feeling, for the first few days, was restless, when the mutilated body of the school girl was tossed to her waiting father, and the fact that the prisoners became incensed at placing the perpetrator of such a deed among them was ignored. When a certain ex-official of a State that has the lynching habit sought to warn our Governor of the danger of Hickman becoming a victim of mob violence, he was very politely but firmly told, that California knew how to care for mobs. We acknowledge that that State is receiving an influx of mob sympathisers, but they will be assimilated before their virus spreads. Women are taking an active interest in the policy of government. On questions concern locally they are sounder than most men. All forms of welfare; humanitarian legislation, and matters which concern the homes find logical champions in the job of nation and international policies they become hopelessly enmeshed. A few weeks past a robourse of women gathered in Washington, D. C., to search for some plan for perpetual world peace. After days of discussion they voted finally to adopt the armaments which carries the theory of treaty proposals. Now comes another wing. They too meet in Washington, but they are militants and advocate pledge themselves to support, an army and navy big enough for national defense. Some few women have made headway in the big question of policy but the answers are content to be consistent, and remedy the local political evils. Geo. Watters, convicted on very filmsy testimony of murdering his wife, has twice been in the shadow of the gallows and twice reprieved. To take the life of a man on evidence so circumstantial that its weight would cause dismissal in a police court, would in itself be murder. The trial of the self-confessed kidnapper, Hickman is a tragedy of Justice. The publicity given to the trial has set him upon a pedestal. The grusomeness is forgot and youth, seeing naught, is mourned by the mind of the thrill. Hearing an alteration among some children playing 'stopped to listen; two husky youngsters, about 10 to 11 years were battling to se who should be Hickman and kidnake the girl. When we think of the plasticity and retention of the child's brain; well! Hickman should have been disposed of and without the aureate halo of a hero. When such impression is implanted in sauropeltic minds, they do but bear fruit which the end will preve detrimental to society. Somebody is always taking the joy out of life. Just when we had nicely settled down to enjoy our "Safe and Sane" Fourth of July, along come one of those "Researchers" and—these isn't no fourth of July. It's July 2nd. Prof. Max Farran says that history slipped a cop. The Declaration of In- In no section of the nation is the emigration law so violated and abused as that of Mexican labor to the United States. They form a source of cheap labor which is a mence to the industrial market, and their standard of living is insufficient to health and a burden on the State and incidentally the taxpayer who supports our public institutions or charity. The total expense to Los Angeles county alone for hospital care of Mexicans for two years is $2,358,068.21, when we figure that 60 per cent were either alien or in the country illegal. Box bill introduced in Congress seems to have "hard sleddin" getting from the Committee to the floor. There is always a selfish interest who craves for cheap labor, and is working hard to let us play it's the 4th of July anyway. of cheap foreign labor. California is not exempt. Its selfish interest encourages immigration—labor—which they can exploit. Labor should keep a watchful eye on the Box measure. One eye on that; the other on the Rio Grande. The youngsters are making many excuses for criminal acts. Two youths did the Bandit act down in Merced to get money to buy a hot dog stand. Another act to get money for an education—How much better honorable work? GENERAL SITUATION (Conference ance) BANK CLEARINGS Clearings for January amounted to $331,077,122 as compared with $822,924,424 for January, 1927 and $811,823,371 for last December. January's figures were the second highest of any month in the city's history but were aided somewhat by a change in reporting methods by which the clearings of the Hollywood branch, a part of the city of Los Angeles, were included POSTAL RECEIPTS Receipts for January are estimated by the postmaster at $795,000 as against $765,412 for January 1927, an increase of 4 per cent. The official summaries of postal receipts for December covering 50 largest cities of the country showed Los Angeles with an increase of 4.30 per cent as having the largest increase of any city amongst the first 18 of the country. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Building in the city of Los Angeles for January showed a moderate increase over the previous month, but a slight decline from January of last year. Figures reported by the city building department indicate a total of $7,509,691 with 2852 as the number of individual permits. This compares with $6,403,840 from 2687 permits for December, 1927, and $8,129,719 from 2644 permits for January. The year in which the largest permit for the month was issued for a downtown store, considerably more than half of the total was for residence buildings of various types and the total number of permits granted remains very large indicating the steady demand for more houses. Construction continues particularly active in Phoenix, Arizona, in the vicinity of which two new hotels are announced in addition to those started during 1927. A new municipal and county building estimate is also scheduled for the near future in that city. Construction is also very active in Southern Idaho. Boise closing the year with construction doubling 1928. One of the most significant and important announcements made for a long time in the petroleum field was the statement by the President's Oil Conservation Board that their findings indicated ample supplies of petroleum existing in the various American fields to assure oil for future generations. This should, effectively quiet the recurring alarmist predictions as to early exhaustion and is particularly important in assuring the future of Southern California's position of leadership. The petroleum industry seems to have regained its composure and is in a much better frame of mind than a few months ago. At that time there is considerable uncertainty as to which petroleum industry should might end, and also as to possible action of Federal authority in arbitrarily controlling the industry. The first of these fears has been allayed by the cooperation of the various units which have brought about a substantial decrease in the national output, the daily average at the middle of January being 2,373,100 barrels, a drop of about 40,000 barrels from the high point and 17,900 below the figures of a year ago. The second has been helped by the Government's reference and the growth of confidence any Federal action will be along the line of assisting the cooperative movement rather than through direct regulation. The oil equipment and supply industries have also been more optimistic following the continuation of deep drilling at the Signal Hill field and activity in mid-continent and foreign fields. The average production of crude oil in the state declined moderately during the month being equal to 615,000 barrels a day for January as against 625,000 for December. Considerable interest was attached to the acquisition of a majority interest in the California Petroleum by a Tex as company thus bringing into contact with the California field one of the largest national organizations. The California Petroleum has a substantial retail sales market for gasoline in this state being sixth in order of sales gallonage. AUTOMOBILE SALES Sale of new cars is somewhat slow showing that the public is waiting for the final appearance of new models. A number of these have been withheld until the Chicago Automobile Show which opened on January 28th and as a consequence there should be some spurt in buying after the first of the month. Some of the smaller cars on which new models have been available have done particularly well. There are many indications that this will be the most competitive year that the motor car industry has experienced, and the public has been holding off buying awaiting success. Passing the car buyer can undoubtedly obtain far greater value today than ever before in automobile history. Used car sales during the last 10 days of the month were better than at any time for the last two months and this has helped the general tone of the industry. WEARING APPAREL An outstanding event in the apparel industry was the Style Show and Spring Fashion Review held in Los Angeles January 10th to 12th, under the auspices of the Millinery Manufacturers and Jobbars Association and the Los Angeles Dress and Coat Manufacturers Association. Buyers were in attendance from all over West and many eastern states and very favorable comment was made upon the style and quality of the lines shown. In general January is a between seasons month in the apparel lines and activity among the manufacturers has been seasonally retarded on this account. As in other fields the concerns manufacturing distrusts volumes of orders with the less inspired manufacturers complaining as to competition. In general employment is on a level equal to a year ago. PRICE TREND There is a tendency toward firming prices in wholesale commodities towards the close of January, the January average being practically the same as for December. The Irving Fisher Index is being calculated under a revised basis, the figure for week ending January being 55.6 against an average for the year 1927 and for December average of 55.8. We are still inclined to the same opinion as in our December review in anticipating that the general course of prices during 1928 will tend downward. EMPLOYMENT With the help of a large number of representative individual employers, the Domestic Trade Department, is compiling monthly an index of industrial employment for the Los Angeles area. The total employees represented by the reporting concerns total about 74,000 or about one-third of the total employees in the district. With the co-operative Chamber of Mines and Oil, figures for the employment in the oil fields and refineries have been compiled for the first time. These show that there are in the Southern oil fields approximately 37,000 employees. It has not been possible to obtain corresponding figures for previous months or years and in our comparison it has been necessary to eliminate the oil field employment figure. The index shows the number of employees for January, 1928 (adopted as a 100% compared with January, 1927, 102% and December 1927 which was 112.3%). An analysis of the change indicates that the reduction from a year ago reflects slowness in the oil industries particularly the oil equipment field. The change from December is the expected seasonal drop due to delay for inventory purge and the rush in such lines as candy manufacture and the seasonal slowness in candy. Furniture and Fixtures show a good increase compared with a year ago or with December, a condition which is also true of rubber manufacturing. In non-manufacturing lines, the seasonal change toward winter is the general lower is at least as high as a year ago. FURNITURE MANUFACTURING The first two weeks of January are generally quiet in furniture manufacturing as orders are still delayed from inventory and January clearances. The actual amount of employment is about the same as last year. Orders that are being received at the very close of the month give the trade a feeling that the year should be one of fair progress. An analysis of the condition of the industry at the beginning of the year emphasises the competitive character of the market, and the necessity of exercising real ability and experience in the operation of the plant and particularly in the merchandising field. Some of the leading press and are extending their markets over the entire eleven western states. Others which have been less efficiently operated have been experiencing financial difficulties and at the present time a number of re-organizations are in progress. FISH CANNING After eaving the fishing fleet for considerable part of the month, the slusive sardine was brought in in large numbers the last week in January and the canneries began to op up the stock. The sardine is a little later than last year but the volume only slightly below it has been packed. The market is strong. MOTION PICTURES The most outstanding development for some time in the motion picture field occurred with the announcement in January 25th of the purchase of the West Coast Theatres chain by the Fox interests. Something over 250 theatres are involved. The production at the studios has continued on a moderate basis and has been expected for some time which has not yet developed although anticipated by leading factors. RETAIL SALES Reports from department stores indicate the usual falling off in sales as compared with December and in some cases a total volume less than January a year ago. The average of the older stores shows about 2% less business than last January while including the newer units established during the year the total is estimated at some 5% larger. AGRICULTURE Truck Crops—The winter vegetable shipping season is under way in many sections of California, with the Imperial Valley lettuce deal holding the spotlight. So far, prices in most lines have been satisfactory, with some low spots. In a general way weather conditions in California have been favorable for most growing vegetable crops with few reports of damage. Market and Field Conditions—The recent appearance of the preliminary annual crop report for California, issued by the California Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, settled the question of production and return totals for the 1927 season. It had been conceded quite generally the than that of 1926, but the late report indicates that it was slightly lower. In figures, the 1927 total value of all main field and fruit crops was $386,562,000, while that for 1926 was $397,764,000. In neither year does this include vegetables or livestock products. February is the month of indecision as to planting programs, and one which is generally given over to much speculation as to what the remaining ten months hold for the agriculturist. We approach the planting season with soils generally in good shape for early plantings of field crops. The weather has already been seeded and the usual preparatory activity is going forward. During the past month, there has been considerable change in the fruit marketing situation. A few weeks ago, the California Deciduous Fruit Association was created as a voluntary organization of deciduous fruit, producers, under the Capper Volstead co-operative marketing law. This new organization will operate, it will be a member of the California Vineyardists Association. Under the new plan, a clearing house will be in operation the year round for all deciduous fruits. Oranges—During the last week of the month, the orange market again took an upgrade turn from the lower prices of the previous week, and while the demand is not as active as could be expected, all factors believe that a better tone will prevail from now on. Better quality stock is in sight, and the County naval reserve remains for shipment. Deciduous Fruits—The formation of the California Deciduous Fruit Association, touched on in our introduction, is perhaps the most outstanding agricultural development during the past month. During the coming marketing season, this new organization will be under rigid test. In fact "Southern California Crop" believes that the reduced fruit prices that the department will go a long way to prove or disprove the theory of the clearing house as it is advanced in Southern California. LIVE STOCK MARKET The cattle market continues at a highly satisfactory level with the stock still selling at the figure. The cattle dealers a year ago and steers at $12 to 13. The hog Friday, February 10, 1928 market showed some strength early in the month but weakened later on with prices now generally lower than a month ago. The sheep market has been steady to strong, with ewes showing a little increase in price. Pasture conditions in some portions are bordering on being serious because of lack of rains and very drying winds. Good Fribruary rains should offset this condition, however. WATER BORNE COMMERCE An increase in international trade was the principal feature of water borne commerce of Los Angeles for the first month of 1928; both exports and imports showing a decided increase over the same month of last year. Exports were a little under $9,000,000, as compared with approximately $8,000,000 last year, while in volume export shipments went from 437,000 tons to 571,000 tons. imports increased approximately one-half million dollars in value, and 4,000 tons in volume. However, showed a decided decrease, inter-coastal receipts falling off more than $4,000,000, and coastwise shipments decreasing approximately $3,500,000. According to preliminary figures, the total water commerce for the month amounted to 1,654,522 tons, compared with 1,992,185 tons, with a value of $75,651,047 for the corresponding month of 1927. On the radio station W. C. F. L. under the auspices of the Chicago Federation of Labor, A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, broadcasted on the fight of the Pullman Porters for a living wage, and the abolition of the tipping evil as a method of rewarding labor. The talk was made Thursday, 6:30 P. M., January 26th, in the beautiful building of the Chicago Federation of Labor. Randolph emphasized the significance of the strategy of the organization taking the case of the Pullman Porters to the Interstate Commerce Commission, where a hearing was held January 21st, Washington, which line occupied the D. C. at the time of closing Car Porters and the Pullman Pullman Company, argued on the question of jurisdiction of the Commission over the petition of the porters for an investigation of the Pullman Company. He said that the questions asked by the Commissioners indicated that the petition of the porters for an inquiry into rates, wages and tips rested on sound ground. He made a special appeal to the public on the grounds that the Pullman Company is a public utility created by public law and therefore, response to the public for the condition of its business. He out that the public had a right to know that Pullman porters were compelled to work excessive hours, ranging from 300 to 400 a month, and only received a wage of $72.50. This meager wage, said Kandolph, is fixed by the Pullman Company in direct relation to the porters which company expelled the porters to the public traveling public. He showed that while the Company capitalized the seven million dollars which the public contributed in tips to the porters, by being able to pay a wage which it otherwise could not pay, the porter finds it impossible to budget his family upon the uncertainty of the tips which he hopes. When a porter is deadheaded around the company, which is quite often, said General Organizer, he receives no tips for no passengers are on the car, and when travel is light, tipping is light also, although the porter must pay out $33 a month as occupational expense for two uniforms a year, food on the trains, food and lodging at terminal and shoe polish at the passengers' shoes for which they are penalized should they request pay, or should they refuse to shine the shoes. He showed how the Pullman Company had flouted the Railway Labor Act by refusing to arbitrate the dispute when urged by the United States Mediation Board, while it arbitrates the disputes-with its Pullman Conductors. He also indicated that should the porters fail to get relief from the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Brotherhood would be the Emergency Man. Many telephone messages and letters have been received by Mr. Randolph commending his talk over the radio and expressing support of the porters' case. FOUNDER OF ELKS RED CROSS DIES (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 31.—Miss Sarah E. Hawkins, founder of the Elks Red Cross units, died in the Harlem Hospital here Monday night, following a two weeks illness. Miss Hawkins, who was also a member or numerous secret orders and was well known for her charitable work, had been taken to the hospital suffering from pneumonia. Miss Hawkins, through her work with the Elk Red Cross units, was designated at the Cleveland convention last year, as national head of the Elks units of Red Cross workers. (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 31.—Robert J. Nelson, genial editor of the Washington Eagle, unfortunately tarried in the path of a Chevrolet last week. It struck him and Mr. Nelson is now convalescing at home.

He is ```markdown ``` The Girl Reserve movement seems to be doing quite a big towards establishing a more friendly relationship between girls of the different races. This is evident in the various joint activities that are held, within this movement, which tend to show the girls the true characteristics of each other. These joint activities have mainly consisted of conferences and inter club council meetings, but recently the individual clubs have had inter-racial meetings. The 12th St. Center Girl Reserves club was recently the host at a social meeting held at their Center with the girls of the Southwest Presbyterian Girl Reserve Club. The spirit displayed was remarkable and after a lovely program rendered by the members of the host club and after delicious refreshments the guest club departed, remonstrating about the beautiful way in which the whole affair had been conducted. You have a right to be proud of your Girl Reserves, as they are doing their best to really show the girls of other nationalities the high ideals that they sponsor. Encourage them to do bigger and better things. On "Home-Coming Day" for the former Jeffersonites the Girls Senior A and Senior B basketball teams had a grand mixup. The Senior A's, outplayed the Senior B's, but too much cannot be said of the plays of both teams. Hazel Thomas, whose name you should be familiar with in this column because of her activity in various forms of athletics, was the only race girl on the Senior B team and as top center, deserves plenty of credit for her splendid work on the team. Miss Jessie Rayford, a prominent member of the Manual Arts' girls gym team, is forming a similar team of the Girl Reserves of 12th St. Center. If Jessie is successful in getting enough girls interested, we are assured that she will make a good gym team of them. Jessie is another one of our all-round girl athletes. YOUNG SAM LANGFORD will be a world beater just as soon as he gets down to real business and listens to the guidance of his manager. SANTIAGO ZORILLA and Pedro Amador are pulling a gang of knockouts among the hearts of brownskin flappers along the Avenue. They follow the boys to the box office too. Now, aint that nice?

Mr. Burns' interest and participation as sponsor in the big event comes through his natural inclination as a sportman and encourager of Black competition in all lines of sports. He is at present the manager of Mack House, heavyweight champion and K. O. King of the Coast. He is responsible for his remarkable career in the ring having developed him from a boy. He also manages Sailor Larry, one of the best middleweights on the Coast or elsewhere. $25,000 FIRST PRIZE Copies of the Eagle will reach by air mail all the cities through which the runners pass and the populace will be informed how strong Los Angeles people are behind the boy who will run to bring honors to his race.

It does not mean anything to genial Jim financially as he has plenty and has invested more in attempting to force a way open for George than he will ever make, but he has chosen it as an ideal to pilot the best black man in the world on through the rocks and rapids of prejudice until he reaches the top. Locally the colored community is intensely interested. They look upon him as already a champion and will be out in solid phalanxes to watch Godfrey climb into Tundee's throne over the slumbering form of Paulino Uscudun. The Spanish colony of the Pacific Coast has gone wild over Uscudun. One Spanish society has ordered a block of 200 singles from the ticket office in the Spring Arcade Building. Paulino has color. He has a baltic down managers. Some speak Spanish. Some don't. He prepared for any emergency—lingually, financially or suitably.

Jacksonville, Feb. 8 — Young Stribling, Kodryweight, kayped Shaley Marled in the second round of a schedule of 16-round match here last week. Roy (Ace) Clark is the newest black monkey among the boxers. He is in the name stable with Young Stribling. BY: DEAN SNYDER Promoter Jack Doyle has a penchant for doing things right. That is why he is a successful business man—a millionaire. He is making the most elaborate plans any promoter ever attempted in California for the Wrigley Field classic on February 28, when Paulino Uzcudan and George Godrey, battle for the right to meet Gene Tunney. The entire field will be carpeted with heavy canvas. Cireus "blues" that will hold 10,000 people will be erected for the $1 general admission patrons. Before it will be placed a meshed screen that is next to transparent. The ring will be pitched over pitcher's box so the 22,000 people in the stands will be on top of the fighters. The field will be a sea of chairs—diced and rechecked so there will be no mistaken. A small army of experienced ushers will be drilled the same as a general drills an army. One usher hands a guest to another usher and so on until contact. Each ticket bears a gate number at which it will be honored. The gate is the shortest bee-line to the seat. Railroads leading to Los Angeles are getting out special literature on the big bout. The Chamber of Commerce is offering the city on the strength of the ring classic. Special skills are already in the making both north and south. BY: JAS. S. HARRIS. JR. "Fed" Spondors Party to Stimulate Interest of Tennis Fans be corroboration with the statement that the writer made in last week's issue in regards to "some or our illus trious cat-gut swingers coming out of winter quarter in-hither Gaul and demonstrating the fact that the Romans can still surpass the Belgians in every respect," the W. F. T. C. has deemed it tactual to stress the above idea, for at their regular monthly meeting, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 1928, the "Fed" considered the status of tennis here on the Coast very seriously and observing that it was very low decided to throw a monkey wrench in the works in order to pep things up a bit. Consequently it was decided that the "Fed" sponsor a party. I said a party, folks! and a real one at that. All members of subordinate clubs and anyone else not a member of a tennis club but honestly and truly interested in TENNIS is invited. The "Fed" in the past has put over some "Fed Hot" affairs and I mean "Torrid Zone Hot." This affair promises to live up to and excel all past sores that "Fed" has given. There will be dancing to the tune of one of the "nastiest" keyboard trampers in town. Card playing will also be another inviting feature. Last but not least refreshments will be served. I said refreshments, "Son." The "Fed" has instructed the committee on refreshments to spare no pains in arranging a bill of fare fit for the occasion. I might say that the "Fed" has expended a great deal of time and money on this affair and it is hoped that it will be rallied to. It might pay some of the popular society, belles, shebias, old maids, and widows to become momentarily interested in tennis in order to be able to attend because the "Fed" has some of the "nastiest" shebias that ever walked God's green earth in its (Continued on Page Nine) PAULIMO UZCUDIN gets, his first right of George Godfrey, "Won't be THE CAT AND THE MAN WATSON BURNS, FAMOUS BILLIARD EXPERT AND HIS TRICK DOG "WONDER" The above picture is one of a series of stills taken from a newsreel made at the Royal Garden in Chicago a few years ago. Watson was then recognized as billiard champion having beaten Sims, Houston, Abbarato, Gyat, Gomez, Rivers and many others in the cities of New York, Chicago, Frisco and many other large centers. "Wonder" the dog, who is now dead, was indeed a wonder and is remembered as a little animal that could do anything but talk. He was always present at the scientific exhibitions given by his master and when his turn came put on an exhibition in his line that drew as much applause as the life-like gyrations of the ivory spheres under Watson's cue.

It was absolutely impossible for Gans to make the weight of 138 in time. The writer consulted the Chairman of the 1928 Rating Committee this week and found that the rating in all events have been compiled and will be turned over to him for publication next week so watch for them. JOE LOHMAN MEETS VIGO Out in Screenville Vigo Doman and Joe Lohman will trade socks to thrill the movie colony. Here is the menu: Vijo Doman vs. Joe Lohman, main event, ten rounds, Jack Roper vs. Red Fitzsimmons, semi-windup, six rounds and a good flock of prelims. MANHATTAN GYM is a busy place these days and Barney Dempsey is full of smiles. for last Thursday's fight (making weight killed the original Gans) but Baby Joe is right as a new dollar as we come off the press. He expects to make short work of Lamar and let nothing get in the way of his coming bout with Martinez.

PH.F.SERVICE.MY THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART California's fistic gigantic comes off the 23rd of this month in Wrigley Fleight, George Godfrey, the "Black Shadow" and Paulino Uzcudun tangle in the battle that determines who is to meet champion Gene Tunney. Up until the present time the Basque has beaten every black he has tangled with and it's up to George to make up for lost time. Godfrey seems to have settled down to brass tacks, for the boys he has defeated in the last six months have been smacked and they stay smacked. If the "Shadow" figures to beat the "Wood Chopper" he will have to fight. From all advance reports the Spanish seems to be a slow started and if Godfrey can get him before he gets bottery will be too tight. Victory means big money and a possible chance at the title for the "Shadow." Bud Taylor and Joey Sanger fight the main event in Mullen's Show in Chicago, February 9th. This is of interest to all Coast fans because they know the whirlwind style of fight these two boys put up, but the real item of interest is little Jimmy Black, featherweight who fights in one of the wind-up, bouts before the main event. Jimmy made a hit when he K. Oed. Jimmy Murphy in 3 rounds. Another coast boy making good in the East. "One round" Nat Hogan pulled another fast one at the Orange Belt arena in San Bernardino last Thursday night. A week before the fight all you can hear from "One round" is how he is going to turn off the lights for his foe. Hogan lost his fight by a K. O. in 3 rounds. Nat was looking for a soft spot after the first blow. "One Round" Hogan is a good name for him because he seldom lasts over one round. Willie Henry Wins After Arnaud Emanuel and Ernie Owens I will give Ernie Owens $200 to box my "Texas Steer" and will have him fight Arnaud Emanuel "winner take all." if he will, exclaimed Pat Elzey after he and his great boy Willie Henry alighted from the stage in from Fresno. Elzey who has brought Willie here from Galveston because there were no more worlds to conquer swears handsome 175 pound boy can beat any and everybody near that weight on the Coast. He is already the talk of the thousands of Texas Negroes who live here now and there are so proud of him they will turn out on masse as soon as he shows here. TUESDAY Wille Henry knocked out Walter Huffman of Los Angeles in two minutes, 36 seconds at Fresno Tuesday. The bout was scheduled to go terounds. Johnny Marak, youthful mild dleweight from Hanford, put away K O. Eddie Brown of Fresno in 1 minute, 32 seconds of a scheduled six round supporting bout.

JENNIE STRAINE, former wife of the Inimitable "Doc" at the Lincoln, passed away in the East a few days ago, mourned by many friends. Crowds still stand in line for the Lincoln's "Midnite" Ramble.

CHARLEY MOORE AND HERMAN MAKE PICTURE AT STATION CHARLEY MOORE, great character actor and champion race driver was shot in some important scenes at the Santa Fe Station just as the California Limited was pulling out, for Chicago. The Railroad company had given permission to use this train and Charley in the role of a Pullman Porter did his stuff loading his passengers, while Kid Herman worked the character of red cap. Fox studio made the scenes as part of a big new feature yet unnamed. Mr. Kramer or the New Lincoln has some plans that will affect the movies and the work of Negroes in them a great deal, in the near future. Y. M. C. A. TANGLES WITH CHRISTIAN COLLEGE. In what appears to be a fight from start to finish will occur Saturday night, Feb. 11th, at the Y. M. C. A gym when the "Y" basketball varsity books up with the faste California Christian College Five. The teams will be evenly matched with the "Y" boys slightly favorites on their own court. Capt. Norto is the big gun from the Hollywood institution and is expected to ring up his usual 15 or 20 points. But the Y. M. C. A. rooters are expecting Hill and Carey to bring the home team through to victory. The Flashes will play a preliminary game. Special music will be furnished by the Y. M. C. A. Harmony Quartett. The first game begins promptly at 7:45 P. M. A capacity crowd is expected to be on hand. OUTLAWS UPSET Y. M. D Exhibiting a fine brand of teamwork, the Cutlaw Casaba Tossers handed the Y. M. D. Quintette its first defeat of the season last Satur day night in a regular Y. M. C. A contest. The score was 30 to 17. At the end of the first half the Out laws were leading by the small mar gin of 10 to 8. Early in the second canto, Capt. Hicks began shooting "unmissables" from the center of the floor putting his Outlaws in a more comfortable lead. Capt. Jackson rallied his Y. M. D.'s, several times only to be stopped by the stellar defensive work of Cooke and Hill. Veron Harden, Lincoln High School center, refereed. In a preliminary game "Slick" Stocks, Pasadena Lads gave the Business Flashes a 42 to 6 spanking. DUNDEE-FIELDS A REAL MATCH AT OLYMPIC, TUESDAY Vince Dundee, the clever, hard-hitting brother of his champion brother, Joe, makes his next appearance in a local ring at the Olympic, next Tuesday night, against "Oig" Rooney's pride, "Jackie" Fields. If there was ever a "natural" this is one as Field's impressive showing against lightweight champion Mandell, last year, earned him a right to meet the best in the game. Vince too has boxed and won over some of the same boys that Fields has and with their styles and even match the bout should be a hot one. The usual high class supporting card is run out in front including the first appearance of Oscar (Snow-Flake) Wright in a local ring. FERNANDEZ, TAYLOR -CLASH HERE MARCH 6 Ignacio Fernandez, Filipino feather weight, was signed to box Bud Taylor world bantam weight champion, in the ten-round main event at the Olympi pic Auditorium on the night of March 6.

THE COMMENTATOR THE COMMENTATOR LINCOLN THEATRE Part 1-1 SHAKE UP IN THE CHORUS Well, here I am back again folks, back from little vacation, as impres- rior, critic, or, what not; for the Lincoln Theatre. After reading of Police shakeups etc., is was not exactly a shock I experienced upon the return; but just a mild sensation, to learn that three or four of the chorus had ben fired or discharged, or among the missing we discharged, or among the missing we find the flaming little 'Red Head.' This little girl had made a host of friends and admirers here, and her leaving will be missed by many. They say there was a clash between Doc straitne and some of the chorus among whom was 'Red.' Does Starine is the stage director; it is his business to create and arrange the show for each succeeding week. It is obvious that the stage manager should have complete control of every one connected with the presentation of the weekly plays. No individual no matter how popular he may become, can expect to resist authority and keep his job. Maybe this is what happened to 'Red' and her friends. THE BRONZE REVUE After reviewing this revue, we wonder, oh, I guess we shouldn't, if Doc Stralne has emptied his large trunk of all the clever end entertainid numbers he had. Course, it would sound ridiculous to even imagine such a thing had happened in such a short while, Doc is proclaimed one of the greatest showmen of our group. He came from a section of the country where to be classed as a showman, one must be not only a versatile performer, but must in addition know how to essay and direct a great variety of plays. However, the revue was timeless, and well received. Mosby's Blue Blowers simply brought down the house, with the opening number. We tried to understand the piece itself, but try as we might we couldn't get it, any further than the first stanza. That sounded like 'Old Black Joe', but the way they played it was very keen, although they seemed a bit leary of being heard-playing a plantation (Continued on Page Nine) LOGIC :- WISDOM :- HUMOR BY: SAM V. PANKY THE MAN WHO, TRIES The man that wins is an average man Not built on any peculiar plan Not bled on any peculiar luck Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. When asked a question, he does not guess He knows and answers "no" or "yes". When set a task that the rest can't do He buckles down till he pulls it through. the New York Governor. It looks like There is a better job with bigger pay And the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the man whose work made good. Who neither labor or trouble shirks Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes The man who wins is the man who tries. There was a dance in the neighborhood and the music was furnished from a phonograph and what a fine time everybody was having. They waltzed and two-steped by the different selected records. But later in the evening little Mary, who had been changing the dance records, wanted some amusements. She changed the record and soon someone said, "What a mad dance the guests are dancing." Little Mary said, "It is my fault. I put a pancake on the phonograph instead of a dance record." THAT'S THAT "Good morning, Mrs. Brown, it is a pleasure to see you looking so well. I learned you are a neighbor of ours and we are glad to have you and hope you will like the surroundings. How are all at hand?" "Fine and dandy. Everybody able to eat and work. You know that's all we get out of life these days. But Mr. Jones, I heard your father has the doctor attending him again. What has he got this time?" A travelling man asked me what I thought of Al Smith as a candidate for president and I told him from what I had read of him he is what I call "A good fellow, a lucky person, a shocking statesman, and a man that has a good following in New York." "But Senator Hefflin's violent speech in the Senate was a hard blow for the New York Governor. It looks like the Senator is trying to be a presidential candidate on the anti-pope platform. There is one thing I can say about the Senator, if he a candidate his Hate is in the ring." HE DID NOT KNOW This was told to me by an old friend. There was a young Colored man accused of stealing a watch and was arrested. He told his friend he was innocent of the charge; so his friend raised enough money and employed the best lawyer he could get. The lawyer plead the case and convinced the court that his client was innocent. And the Judge said: "Stand up young man. It's a pleasure to tell you that this court has found you to be an honorable person. You are exonerated." The accused man said to the Judge: "Does the word "exonerated" mean that I must give the man his watch back." THE NICE LITTLE PIG It's alright to go out and have a good time, but it pays to keep good company. A friend told me that he will never take another drink of this bad whiskey his friends give him. This is what he experienced: One evening in October When I was far from being sober And dragging home a load with manly pride My poor feet began to stutter So I lay down in the gutter And a pig came up and lay down by my side. SOME RECORD THAT'S THAT THE CANDIDATE Then i warbled, It's fair weather. When good fellows get together." Till a lady passing by was heard to say "Yoit can tell a man that boozes. By the playmates that he chooses."- Then—the pfg got up and slowly walk e.g. say At a soft drink place, some men were drinking and talking, when an organ grinder with a monkey, came in and played for the guests. The proprietor objected, but the customers, who wanted to see some monkey fun, asked the proprietor to let them have some fun. After the entertainment, the monkey jumped on the counter and grabbed a glass which contained some cocoa cola. Then he jumped over the cash register and spilled the contents of the glass in the register. The proprietor then ordered the man, who owned the monkey, out of the store. As he was leaving, he turned to the proprietor and said: "That will run into the money." # NOT YET Will it ever be a fact that we can sit at home and listen in on the radio and hear what they are saying in Congress. It has been announced that radio television for the home is imminent, coming close on the heels of the proposal of microphones for congressmen. That would be serious and we would, as per Moran and Mack phrase. "Why bring that up? We would rather not hear any more about it." # DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION The Democrats are going to Houston, Texas for their arguments and when they leave there they will leave a place of voteless people and that's only place I ever saw a poor bull frog, and a brickyard frog at that. There is one thing they will get there, and that is a nice, cool breeze from the Gulf. It will probably be cool and pleasant at the Convention—with the exception of Tom Heflin.

HUmbolt 3744 JAMES DAUGHERTY, generally known as the "Baron of Lieperville" is a good man to know and the better you know him the better you like him. He is the real friend, backer and manager of George Godfrey, the next heavyweight champion (if Tunney and Rickard will socialize with him for a few rounds). The "Baron" admits that his big protege did not step out and smash some of the fellows out here as quickly and thoroughly as he should have last year, but he says (and we really believe it) that Godfrey is a chained man. From now on anyone who dares climb in the ring with the "Black Shadow" of Lieperville" can have the stretcher waiting to journey out on anywhere from the 1st to the 3rd round. George has never taken the fight game seriously before. He has been just a boy, good-natured boy. I scolded him for that but only a friendly correction, for we want to be proud of him as our "Black Hope." Now George is strickly business. He is after the championship in deed earnest and "no toolin". HUmbolt 7449 CALIFORNIA EAGLE AUTOMOTIVE SECTION Friday, February 10, 1928 Dr. W. Burlin Humphrie, House Physician Frances E.

The TIME and PLACE of this affair is Saturday night, February 11, 1928, from 8 o'clock until—? at the beautiful and palatial home of the "Fed"'s charming and petite secretary, Mrs. Josephine Brown, 643 E. Santa Barbara, Remember, folks, anyone interested in tennis is invited. All the tennis stars will be there from Queen Juliaette Harris and King James Stocks on down. Now, just a word to the boys, there will be the prettiest flock of sweet young things present. And say, this being leap year, many of the fairer sex have already told the writer that they will be present and actually attempt proposals. The writer believes implicitly in the above statement, because some of these young sweet things have practiced on him, preparatory to the above mentioned night, of course to his sorrow. 1928 Ratings Compiled THE COMMENTATOR (Continued from Page Eight) tune. Jam up though. Yes, Sarah Martin was there. And she scored blit, in moaning her "Laughing, Crying Blues." Her best number, "Albertine Pickens, scores heavily in singing "Who's that Knocking at my Door." She can really sing numbers of this sort; as all the catchy number of the type that reminds one of Al Jolson. Baby Mack continues to saturate her audience with her personality. Claude Follias continues as the vounk ladies matines ldl. young indies matures too! Helene Stokes glorifies "It." She continues the unanimous choice of the males. However, without Doc Stralne the demon stage director and also very capable actor, and Blo, the star, the show last week wasn't so forty. The picture, "She Shepherd of the Hills," was really a wonderful presentation of a beautiful story. The "faith" element, we think, was a trite overdone. The director seems to have led the people into too much belief in the power of man, the creature, instead of God, the Creator. This was superstition. The climax where the rain clouds began to gather was truly thrilling. This was a scene where the faithful were triumphant; the organist should have matched this triumphant climax with similar music.

Club Rooms at the Branch Library Did you know that a friendly and hospitable meeting place for community gatherings of an educational, cultural or civic nature, exists in your neighborhood? The Commissioners of the Los Angeles Public Library invite you to make use of the club rooms and auditoria of your branch libraries. In the past year many hundreds of gatherings were held at the branch libraries. Groups of book clubs, local Improvement Associations, Child Welfare Clinics, Woman's Civic Leagues, Boys and Girls organizations, the Taxpayers' Protective Leagues, Community Chest Committees, are among those which last year found the offer of the library club rooms acceptable. Since the first branch library was built in Los Angeles in 1913, it has been the policy of the Los Angeles Library to include some sort of meeting room in the branch buildings. Andrew Carnegie who contributed the fund toward the erection of the first six branch buildings, believed that a public library should be a community center for fictitious civic and cultural interests; that books what for the enrichment of life in its many phases; and that the free and democratic use of books and libraries both toward better citizenship and happier living conditions; therefore that libraries should provide meeting places as well as a book-house for the people. There is opportunity for much greater use of these library club rooms. Many delightful neighborhood book clubs might be held here, with the assistance of the branch libraries. Non-sectarian or non-controversial nature are welcomed. Ask your branch librarian about your library club room.

TTH 8 (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Feb. 8.—At the meeting of the Thompson-Crowe faction of the Republican Party of Chicago, the following men were nominated to run in the primaries for delegates and alternates to the National G. O. P. Convention: Daniel Jackson, Oscar De Priest, representing the First Congressional District, and Bishop A. J. Carey representing the Second, as delegates, and Robert R. Jackson and Roscoe C. Simmons as alternates in the first. The controversy over the Illinois Primary Law which made it uncertain whether the primary will be held in April or September was settled Friday. The primary law was sustained and a statewide primary will be held. It is probable an opposing set of delegates will be put into the field by the Deneen faction headed by Senator Charles S. Deneen. There is some talk of a democratic entry in the Congressional race, but with the convention being held in Houston no colored aspirant has been found to contest for a delegate's place to help nominate Al Smith or his conqueror.
