Police Officer Assaults Man T. J. Winston, Business Man, Victim of Attack Phone DEIware 9396 11017 Compton Ave LOS ANGELES, CALIF. PRESCRIPTIONS MAGAZINES KODAK FINISHING 1879 VOLUME 42 Polic T. J. Mr. Thaddes J. Winston, prominent business man and representative citizen, was struck on the head and severely injured by a Sergeant of Police bearing the badge number 2015 on last Thursday night at Vernon and Avalon avenues. From the facts gleaned relative to the affair there is not the slightest doubt that the affair was wholly unwarranted. It seems that Mr. Winston aroused the ire of the officer when the official saw fit to detain him temporarily along with other motorists whose machines were being searched for liquor, etc. The officer seemed to want Winston to cringe, and when he failed to do the Uncle Tom act (preferring to be natural instead) coutune to a fault especially so while being questioned as to the ownership of his car. In this situation he drew the remark from Officer No. 2015 that he was from the South and down there they did not allow one of his kind to talk to an officer as Winston talked to him. Thereupon he called another officer who wore Badge No. 1148. The Sergeant ordered Winston out of his car, while the officer was searching him the Sergeant dealt Mr. Winston a violent blow back of the right ear, severely injuring him. Mr. Winston secured the numbers and names of the two officers and has witnesses to identify them. The matter has been properly laid before the Police Commission, who by the way, at present have their hands full with the Jones case, but later will be given a thorough investigation and we trust the brutal officers receive their just dues. Edition's Note: We truly trust the Police Commission will go the fullest route in this situation, where innocent and reputable citizens can be brow-beaten and instead of receiving protection from the law, are to be the victims of assault. Something drastic must be done. We call for action in this case of the officers mentioned above. Dies at the Age of 126 (By: A. N. P.) Lexington, Miss., Oct. 25—A message has been received from J. B. Cunningham, owner of a plantation near Howard, of the death of Holmes county's oldest citizen, Patient Julian, who had attained the age of 126 years. Patient Julian was a mulatto, born February 25, 1803. She was owned as a slave by Nathan Grant who lived in Poleen County, Georgia, and afterwards sold to Judges, Rice in Cobb County, Georgia. She lived there until the Civil War ended and afterwards, when free moved to Chattna mooga, Tenn. later moving to Mississippi where she lived many years. She was the mother of eleven children. All children are now dead, except four boys, the oldest son being over 100 years old, now living at Chattna mooga. Up until a few days before her death she was active and managed to go about her duties without any help but her faithful walking cane. Boy Killed by Bullet From Pistol Men Fight Over (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, Oct. 25.—Thomas Sellers, 17 years old, Melpomens and Derbigny streets, is dead, from a gunshot wound in the head suffered Saturday when he was struck by a stray bullet from a revolved over which two other men were scuffling. According to police, the shooting occurred in Sellers' home when Fred Brown attempted to shoot a colored woman. Willie Binghame attempted to take the gun away from Brown and in the fracas was wounded. (By: A N P) Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 24—Sheriff Allen Penton of Escambia County is the official custodian of Sheriff Sam Chevons of Dixie County, and Tom, one of his deputies. They are under look and key, under the federal court order, but are allowed the use of the county jail corridor, just as the other prisoners Sheriff Chevons and Deputy Allen are serving a sentence for contempt of court which may extend to the full sixty-day limit, as imposed by Judge W. B. Sheppard of the Pined States Court. It seems that the Dixie County sheriff was first brought into contact with the federal court by the alleged disappearance of Wesley Brown, witness in the United States Court. The witness was regarded as a material witness to the prosecution of white men, who in their respective communities were regarded "leading" citizens Sheriff Chevons was asserted to have been a party to a successful plan to keep Brown outside the federal court, and he answered the citation by bringing to Pensacola a man known as Wesley Brown, but it developed that he was not the witness of that name, whom the government wanted Sheriff Chevons and his deputy, who then were cited to appear and show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt of court, were closely questioned on the subject, and it was asserted they could not satisfy the court as to their reported activities in the disappearance of the man wanted. They then were given sixty-day sentences. PASTOR USES AXE TO SUBDUE DEACON (By: A. N. P.) Tampa, Fla., Oct. 24.—W. B. Norrie, preacher, is a very determined man in the opinion of members of the Fortieth Avenue Church here, and especially so, according to the way Deacon Daniels, figures. Coming to the church to preach, the deacon had the temerity to try to argue with the pastor concerning whether or not he should preach in that particular church. He didn't argue long. Rev. Morris is said to have wielded a mean axe handle with very evident results on the deacon's head, and after getting the deacon on the floor, sat on him to keep him subdued, meanwhile keeping other members of the congregation away by brandishing a pistol. Eventually, deputy sheriffs arrived on the scene and the party was broken up, the minister being removed to jail. Just what caused the row in the first place, has not been ascertained. Mme. Talbert Leaves On Extended Tour Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert left last week on an extended tour as far south as Tallahassa, Fla. first stop St. Louis where she with Mrs. Cameron White and Nathaniel Dett will represent the best in music at the Negro history week. All compositions and authors are to be by race men and women all of the professions are to be represented by the best in the country Mme. Talbert will sing one of Edna Rosylin Heards compositions Miss Heard won the Krigwa prize last year, for the best song sent in. Los Angeles has a good deal to be proud of. (Bv: A N P) New York, Oct. 20—Leonard Kip Rhinelander, descendant of Hagenot setters, may be forced to throw aside the smoke screen of mystery that has veiled his whereabouts for the past two years and appear in court to defend the latest move of his colored wife, the former Alice Jones, to seize his property, valued at $300,000. Disinherited by his father, Major Philip Rhinelander, the present head of the aristocratic family, Kip would be entirely out of funds if this action was successful. The amount named in the suit represents the last of the inheritance bequeathed him by his mother when he was a small child. Since the failure of the sensational annulment suit brought in his half, young Rhinelander, who was barely twenty-one at the time of his marriage, has traveled extensively for four years, under an assumed name not only to doge his wife's process servers, but to hide as well, it is alleged, the grief caused by the break with his family. Mrs. Rhinelander expressed confidence he would return to her as soon as he was able to shake off the constant companions hired by his family to try and divert the young man's thoughts away from his wife. Not until early this year when investigators retained by Mrs. Rheinelander's counsel, former Judge F. Swinburne of N. w Rochelle, convinced her that Kip no longer cared for her and that he had been friendly with other women, would she consent to sign separation papers. The first legal move will be made Monday b force. Justice Joseph N. Morschauser, who heard the case. The papers in the action will be presented so that Justice Morschauser may pass on their application for service by publication. Although Kip has not seen his wife nor communicated with her since he deserted her five weeks after their marriage four years ago, he has regularly paid $300 monthly to her counsel for her support. Show Slave Bill of Sale 113 Years Old As Fair Exhibit Show Slave Bill of Sale 113 Years Old As Fair Exhibit (By: A. N. P.) Brookhaven, Miss, Oct. 25—One of the many interesting antiques at the Seven-County Fair was a Bill of Sale for a slave girl dated May 13, 1815, and naming William Hootsell, parish of Concordia, state of Louisiana, as the seller, and Nancy Hollandsed as the purchaser. The consideration paid for Moriah was Three Hundred Dollars. Derrrell Smith of the Mount Moriah Community, who brought the old document in, said that it belonged to neighbors of his. Kills Man Who Hits Father With Auto (By: A. N. P.) Bogalusa, La., Oct. 25th—Philip Nastasi, well-known white Bogalusan, was indicted by the grand jury for manslaughter in connection with the death of Landers Smith, whom Nastasi shot, according to officials, after Smith had run down Joe Nastasi, 74 years old, and tride to escape. Philip Nastasi is being held under $5,000 bond. The elder Nastasi, who is his father, was knocked unconscious by Smith on June 16, records show. When Landers realized he had hit Nastasi, he is said to have jumped from his car and started running. Philip is said to have procured a gun and shot. (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill. Oct. 24 - "Don't be anything stop you from winning this election and use guns if necessary. Don't start any trouble, but if any body gets in your way, push him aside." Morris "Boss" Eller, white leader of the bloody Twentieth Ward, is alleged to have coined the above phrases, in a pre-primary election speech to his honchoen, last April Sixteen of Eller's benchmen are on trial this week, before Judge John M. O'Connor. Startling stories of general intimidation, including kidnapping, slugging, and finally the death of Attorney Octavius C. Granady, were told by state witnesses. Granady, Eller's opponent for ward committeeman, was during the balloting last April. Two of the state's star witnesses are colored, George W. Dowthard, one of U. S. Senator Deneen's precinct captains, and Paumpey Cornelius, who testified Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Each of these men and several other colored men and women testified that they were set upon and beaten when they refused to "go along" with the gangsters. Dowthard identified Peter Parelli white, a former policeman, as one of the men who came to his home the morning of April 10, and shot him in the arm. He stated that the form-rep, accompanied by six other Eller workers, came to his home the morning of the election. Parelli told him, Dowthard stated, that he and the party came to escort him to the polls. Dowthard said that he dressed and followed the men out into the street. Then he became suspicious and started running, the witness testified. Parelli leveled a sawed-off shot gun at Dowthard and shot him in the arm. The party then overtook Dowthard and beat him severely, he said. The other star witness heard was Cornelius, who left the witness stand and identified five of the men who kidnapped and beat him. Later, according to Cornelius he was driven to the "election jail" and held there as prisoner all day. HANGED FOR ASSAULT (By: A. N. P.) Natchez, Miss., Oct. 25—John Burke was hanged here Oct. 19 for alleged criminal assault on an aged white woman residing near Pine Ridge. Burke was indicted, tried, and convicted with in three hours at a special term of circuit court. Following the arrest of Burke two attempts were made to storm the Adams county jail by mobs, but they, were frustrated by Sheriff Walter Abbott with the assistance of the Natchez police department. The hanging of Burke was the first execution in Adams County for fifteen years Y.M.C.A. Y.M.C.A. BOY'S DAY Sunday October 28 at Beth Eden Baptist Juinor Church Hear young Rev. Brown, 11 A. M.

Miss Whitlock, Press, Rev. H Foster, Supervisor, Rev. E. E. Burk halter, Palter. The decided drive to vote NO on amendment No. 5 is meeting with a decided success. Just as quickly as the people of all classes understand the animus behind the whole situation is nothing short of the very cheapest sort of notty prejudice they assert themselves as opposing the adoption of No. 5, and will vote NO on the same. It is passing strange that there was not one thing wrong with the present state regulated boxing measure until George Godfrey whipped Paulino. What did he do that for? The Examiner began to spread its prejudice and it bites to repeal the present law on that issue alone. However the response for fair play has been gratifying indeed and there is no question but all people who stand for fair play and justice will vote to defeat this pernicious amendment. Leading citizens everywhere are lining up and not only protest its passage but are speaking right out against the unjust and unholy Amendment No. 5. Among those who are speaking from the public platform against this Amendment are Dr. C. H. Hudson, president N. A. A. C. P.; J. B. Bass, Editor Calif. Eagle; Atty. C. H. Alston, and many others. No legislation based on Intolerance, malice and hate should be supported by citizens who stand for justice and the square deal. Find Huge Still Behind Abandoned Church --- (Br: A N P) The rear year of an abandoned Baptist Church property at 2235 Forest St has been used for a well-equipped high-voltage day and night still, prohibition agents discovered when they conducted a raid at the property and brought to light another big manufactory of alcohol. About a year ago, the church was abandoned as such, the pews and all accessories there removed. But some six months ago dry raiders found a complete home brew plant in operation in the rear of the actual church building. Prohibition agents exposed a 500-gallon still, capable of producing 3,000 gallons of alcohol a month. They said that from the large quantity of mash on hand it was evident to them that the still had been operated day and night. They found three vats of mash, capable of containing 1,500 gallons each, were also unearthed. Why "Al" Smith Should Be Elected President This will be told by Charlotta A Bass at the Smith-For-President Head quarters, 38th and Central, Sunday at ternoon at 3 o'clock P. M. Cool To Communist (By A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Oct., 25—The New Orleans item, one of the leading evening papers in the south, in commenting on the visit of William Z Poster, Communist candidate for president says: "New Orleans has known better times and conditions than those temporally prevailing. So have all other Americans cities. Little discontent or discouragement is felt by any class. Few want to try radical remedies. The majority of our causes will be removed. They are content to wait, confident of the future. Mrs. Carrie Albritton Daniels proves an artist of easy, convincing powers and her sisters are good. At Phillips Temple at 42nd and Wadsworth streets. After an absence of several years from Los Angeles, Mrs. Carrie Albritton Daniels appeared on Thursday the 18th of October, 1928 in a charming and very finely arranged Song Recital, assisted and interspersed with her artistic efforts by her two sisters, Mrs. Elberta Albritton Franklin, who sang the noble duet, "Life's Dream is Over" with her and Mrs. Jell Albritton Bateman, who excelled as a very original dramatic reader. The audience was very good-sized, appreciative and intelligent. 1930 Mrs. Carrie Albritton Daniel's program was highly classical and well chosen and gave her a splendid opportunity to bring to the mesmerized audience her big, yet sweet, and finely modulated voice in its entrancing natural beauty and well-rounded mellowness—a voice so very grandly captivating and sincerely true that one that hears it never forgets it. She feels the beauty and depth of her lyrics by the grand tones of her lyrics, she is born for singing, and therefore employs no affectations, no needless hand, feet or body evolutions, the majesty of her voice and the depth of her soul, nothing else, do her scoring and win her auditors. Sometimes soft and tendrilike, lark-winging melodies then deep and powerful, chime-like soundings came her heroic and not one hearer was there that was not charmed or uninterested in the singer's easy efforts to please. She had no trouble in dominating the audience with her inborn art—like the subtle mechanics of heavenly inspiration, without any earthly or bodily efforts for specialized effects, rolled forth the tonal wealth of her electricity, capturing her audience principally by her art and her apparently honest modesty. She is a new contralto, not a mezzo-soprano by nature, although she can score success in both ranges of voice, with her powers as a contralto, heavily leading her art as a mezzo-soprano. Her future is bright and her white and colored friends are planning many future concerts in this city and neighboring towns. Her sisters, too, were very good. Mrs. Bateman proving a most original recitationist, who appeared most natural, absolutely true to her art, with no exaggerations and just the very naive simplicity of her roles that thrilled her audience. Mrs. Albritton Franklin has a very sweet and emotional soprano voice that is a great credit to her and matched wonderful in the noble duet wit hthe leader's singing. The accompanist, too. Mrs Fannie Wilson-Benjamin was up to all expectations and suited well to make up the interesting quartette of winning artists. No one felt prouder that evening than the kind mother of this artistic Albritton family. 1928 No. 21 Man Attack On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. THE ALBRITTON DANIELS reeled at Phillip, Tenia C, M. E. Church last Thursday evening in which Madam Daniels was assisted by her two sisters, Idell Hateman and Alberta Franklin was an artistic success. Madam Daniels is unassuming and perhaps not as sophisticated as she should be. She has a fine even yet rich melodious contralto voice of power and range. IT IS ALLECED that F. J. Wood, Supt. of the Pullman Co., has announced that Pullman Porters who fail to vote in the "Employee Plan" election will not be fired. And we certainly see no reason why they should be for the outstanding privilge in a man's life is to vote and act according to his convictions. --- JT IS SAID that rats have a peculiar premonition as to when trouble is coming to a ship, and if you are about to take voyage and notice that the rats are first to desert, it's good policy to forego your voyage on that particular vessel. Such seems to be the condition of affairs in the Republican Ship of State at this time. The rats have sighted trouble and one by one they are leaving. Never before in the whole history of the country have so many old time Republicans deserted the party; and with such breaks as this one made by Senator Moses: "Tells Women 'There Is No Negro Civil Service Commissioner In Washington Dictating to White Stenographer' "(Amsterdam News Service) "New York.—The color issue was boldly raised here Monday, this time by one high in the ranks of the Hoover campaign forces, when Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, eastern manager of the Republican national committee, slammed a broadside at the Democrats for permitting a Negro civic service commissioner to dictate to a "white stenographer of the female sex." He hurled his scathing criticism, out before 500 members of the Women's National Republican club. "Senator Moses, a New Englander, who is not conversant with the political intricacies of New York, was following the lead of the Ku Klux Klan organ, the Fellowship Forum, which published a picture of Ferdinand Q. Morton, Democrat, civil service commissioner, dictating to a white stenographer. His reference was made of the same man"—Kansas City Call, Oct. 19. And after this we opine that more tined to leave. --- IT SEEMS that several generations will have to come and go yet before Black Americans develop a full realization that in thinking and working capacities they are the equal of other people. The greatest disease with which they suffer is a cronic desire to tear down. They gaze at the foundation laid by their brothers with no hope of being a part of a structure that will redound to the glory and honor of the group, but instead gloat over the fact that they hold in their grip what it takes to tear a brother down—and while this double process of obstructive destruction goes on within the group other groups are building at the expense of the race. "Get-to-goher" as a slogan, has become hackneyed from over use by the pulpit and the press but the significance has not yet been digested, mentally, by those who need it most. Hence how to get together as a race is a problem yet unsolved. Since religion is love let us set out to solve our problem through this medium. ```markdown ``` --- Page---Tcn SMITH MEETING SETS CHICAGO ON FIRE (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Oct. 23.—Before an audience which jammed the auditorium of Wendell Phillips High School Monday night, colored Democratic leaders flayed the Republican Party and lauded the Democratic presidential candidate, Governor Alfred Emanuel Smith. Sprinkled throughout the audience were to be found some of the most prominent Republican leaders of the Hoover forces and many persons active in both city and state Republican organizations. Enthusiasm was at fever heat throughout the meeting and each speaker received loud applause as he drove home some particularly salient argument. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church in addressing the 3,000 intent listeners said: "For two generations colored people have been fighting and voting to advance the interests of white people—now we had better do a little thinking and voting for ourselves. The ballot is our most powerful weapon. It will punish our enemies as well as reward our friends. "The Republican party was once the party of freedom, but times have changed. It is today the party of bigotry, intolerance, deception, and Klanism. If we don't repudiate them now because of their hypocrisy in trying to enforce the 18th Amendment while neglecting the 13th, 14th, and 15th, their destruction of colored Republican leaders and their Lily Whism. when in the name of common sense do we expect to show our disapproval? We have already been put under the pressure of the fact. Are we going to wait for them to kick us out before expressing our dissatisfaction? "Governor Smith is a champion of the common people and as such is our friend. If elected to the presidency he could certainly do no worse the white house. And if we staged a revolt that will notify the Republican Party that colored citizens are no longer 'cowards, slaves, or fools.'" Hon. Ferdinand Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner of New York City, brought to his listeners an intimate picture of the man who for eight years has guided the destiny of New York State. "Never in his official life have I known Gov. Smith to do or say anything for the express purpose of gaining the support of any group or any class. It is therefore, my belief that if elected, he will not be guided in any of his appointments or decisions by the race, creed, or color of the individuals concerned," said Mr. Morton. Other speakers, including Hon. William A. Wallace High Commissioner of the U. N. I. A. Harvey E. Watkins, a prominent Republican and Atty. Earl B. Dickerson, chairman of the meeting and regional director of the Smith-for-President Colored League, also gave to the audience an array of arguments Democratic. Republican Organizer Quits Hoover Cause (By: A N P) Chicago, Oct. 19.—Declaring that he did not care who was elected president and that he had severed his connection with the Republican National Committee, Atty. Aaron Payne, son-in-law to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, member of the executive committee of the colored voters' division of the Republican National Committee, pleaded with an audience in Wendell Phillips High School, presided over by Mrs Lethia Fleming, Cleveland, to subordinate every other interest in the support of Oscar DePriest for Congress. Special significance was given Mr Payne's statements due to the fact that Mr. DePriest has rallied his followers behind the banner of protect Negro leadership and urged them to refuse to vote for certain Republican who are not his friends. DePriest is for Hoover, but against the Republican candidate or state's attorney. Payne's candidate is more important to him that Mr. DePriest's candidate for state's attorney he elected than whether a Democrat or a Republican were elected to the presidency. Mr. DePriest has indicated that he will support the Democratic candidate for state's attorney. REV. STRATON ATTACKS NEGRO (By: A. N. P.) Forth Worth, Tex., Oct. 20.—That Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor Calvary Baptist Church, New York City is viciously attacking the New York Negro in his speeches against Gov Smith is the charge made by William M. McDonald, prominent colored Republican leader, who has bolted the G. O. P. in favor of the New York Governor's candidacy. In an address recently made here, Mr. McDonald charges that the Rev. Dr. Straton attacked the Negro and Tammany Hall, painting a wicked picture of corruption and debauchery carriee Helen Negro and Tammany control. He was particularly indignant over the fact, as he claimed it, that a Negro in New York, is drawing $7,500 a year and been granted a white stenographer through the influence of Tammany Hall. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened A Resume of the Activities of R. F. McClellan As Supervisor W. HAROLD KINGSLEY R. F. McClellan was elected super visor in 1816 and took office January 1, 1817. When he took office the ledgers of the county were in the red $150,000. By re-organizing departments and by careful business, planning, he wiped out this deficit and during his incumbency, a substantial surplus has been shown at the close of every fiscal year. When Mr. McChellen took office, the general purposes tax of the county was 80.4 cents. This year it is 72 cents. During his incumbency numerous county improvements have been constructed and paid for to keep the fastest growing area in the United States abreast of a heavy infux of population greater than the national and commercial development. Yet taxes have been actually decreased and the county not burdened with excessive debt. The general debt in round numbers is $10,000,000 against a valuation of in excess of $4,000,000,000. Eight years ago Mr. McChellen was elected chairman of the Board of Survivalists which office he has held ever since. The following departments come under his personal directions: The county counsels office, district at torney's office, office of public defender, grand jury, registrar of voters, museums, parks and play grounds, custodian of county buildings, janitors department and soldiers burials. As chairman of the Board of Supervisors and supervisor of all these departments, Mr. McChellan's achievements include the following: He originated and founded the Regional Planning Commission which is a model for metropolitan districts the country over. As a result of the functioning of this commission, every improvement laid down now in Los Angeles county is in accordance with a scientifically pre-conceived plan. He fathered the Big Pines camp playground now nationally recognized as one of the outstanding recreational parks of the state. This cost the taxpayers only $62,000. He fostered and championed the great flood control and water conservation program vital to the growth of the country and checking the extensive flow of silt into Los Angeles harbor. The completion of the flood control program in its entirety requires the supervision of Mr. McChellan and equipped 32 county fire districts. He created and equipped 32 sheriffs sub-stations throughout the county. He increased the scope of the county free library service which now maintains 157 branches with 300,000 volumes. When Mr. McCllenan took office county funds were kept in safety deposit vaults. Unwilling to see so much money deposited, he added a bill empowering boards of supervisors to put money out at interest. The legislature defeated the bill Persistent, Mr. McCllenan had it introduced the next year when it was passed. As a result of this statute which he originated, Los Angeles county funds are now earning interest. This interest last year amounted to approximately $1,700,000. Mr. McCllenan aided in the establishment of the nationally known health centers and health schools. There are approximately 2,250,000 people in Los Angeles County. To meet their requirements the county government spends approximately $43,000,000 annually. Comparisons show that chairman of the board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county has a greater responsibility than that of the governor of any one of 27 states. IRA BRYANT SAYS IT IS SMITH (BY: A. N. P.) Nashville, Oct. 20. —The statement of Ira T. Bryant, Secretary-Treasurer and Manager of the African Methodist Episcopal Sunday School Union that the Negro should support Alfred E. Smith foe President as the race eowes the Republican Party nothing has been the subject of wide-spread comment among members of the race. Mr. Bryant, one of the most influential members of the A. M. E. Church, is asking Negroes, "Why vote for Hoover?" "They say we should vote for Mr. Hoover because we were not the only group in Houston but they forget that before we were 'caged off' at the enemy's meeting in Houston we were 'jim-crowed' in the meeting of our friends at Kansas City" cities Mr. Bryant. "The treachery within our ranks that recently brought about the defeating of Ben Davis in Georgia, Cohen in Louisiana and Perry Howard SUPPORTERS Some of the well meaning but in judicious officers and mid-night orators of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Los Angeles, have circulated or caused to be circulated, east of Main street a circular charging that: "The Anderson Boarding and Supply Co. 1041 North McCadden Place, was given the contract PROVIDED NO NEGROBS WERE HIRED." Referred to was entered into by the Board of Supervisors and Anderson Co. on the 24th day of September, 1928, and the word "white" appeared in line 6, page 2, and the words "white janitors" appeared in the next to the last line of page 2 of the original contract. It was the writer of this article, and not the Grand Dragon and the midnight orators of the Association for the assassination of white men who are fair enough to advance the interest of colored people by appointing them to the first call of Supervisor Bean's attention, the terms and conditions of the Anderson contract. Mr. Bean had never read the contract, and was surprised to know that the contract by its terms discriminated against all cooks and janitors who were not of the white race, and said: "One of my colleagues on the Board has charged of the trial, but I will do all in my power to prevent any discrimination against any class of people in Los Angeles County who may seek employment in the County service. The matter was called to the attention of the Board of Supervisors, and in an open meeting of the Board, October 15, 1928, Mr. Bean said: "The contractors should be allowed to ap point any competent persons. To restrict them to white employees is an unjust discrimination against 75,000 worthy citizens of this county. The citizens of this county circumscribed were being distributed east of Main street, the Anderson contract had been changed, and the objectionable words had been stricken out. Any person interested in good government, or in the advancement of colored people, could have ascertained that fact by examining the public records in the Supervisors office. Why are these recently appointed leaders trying to assassinate and destroy the reputation of a man who has given more recognition to colored people than any other ma nin public office in the State of California? Why destroy the usefulness of the man who did more than any other one man to make the Nineteenth Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. a success. These are questions to be answered by the brave committee that signed the misleading circular above referred to. It was through the uniting and persistent efforts of the N. A. A. C. P and the unqualified support of Supervisor Bean, that Colored girls were admitted as nurses at the County Hospital in September, 1919. We are proud of our girls that have taken advantage of this opportunity and qualified themselves to go out upon the world and render scientific service to suffering humanity; we are proud of the man that was big enough and broad enough in his views to open the door of opportunity to all men regardless of color; we are proud of the man who has consistently fought for the reduction and succeeding in reducing our taxes about two (2) cents less than they were; we are proud of the unimpeachable record Supervisor Bean has made and we appreciate his courageous stand for justice and fair play. The N. A. A. C. P. has lost its bearings, and drifted away from the constructive leadership of nine years ago; in Los Angeles it is like a ship with out sail or a rudder, going first in one direction and then in another direction according to the whims of its whimsical leadership. We as a group can never hope for advancement, so we secure the hand that reaches out to help us; we will never receive any recognition from the dominant race until we convince them that we stand firmly upon the principle of equal opportunity nothing more and nothing less. Signed: Attorney E. C. JENNINGS, H. O. EDMONDS, RICHARD H, WADE. In Mississippi, was undoubtedly inspired by white Republican Party leaders in their bid for the Ku Klux Klan votes in the South," he continues. "But the most cowardly aspect of this Republican treachery in the Negro race is found in Secretary Work's recent statement in Washington reflecting upon the integrity of Negro political leaders of the past, in his effort to conceal the cloven hand by the faint promise of great things to come to the race by reason of a 'new leadership among Negroes', which not deceives no one. "I believe there is merit in Harding's advice to the Negro to divide their vote, Aside from that, we stand for the election of Smith (1) because he stands for something, and (2) because he has the guts to say without being prodded just what he does stand for. In this respect he is in marked contrast with Hoover, the man of indecision, the Sphinx of looking both ways in variety. "I shall cast my vote for Gov. Alfred E. Smith, if for no other reason than to show the Republican Party that they cannot assault all the Negroes with impunity and still keep us in line." Independence For The Colored People Needs Attention at Polls One of the crudest, grossest and most unjustified insults ever thrown in the face of the colored citizens of Los Angeles has just been hurled by Supervisor Jack Bean when, in signing a contract with the Anderson Boarding and Supply Company for boarding men at the San Gabriel Dam in California, should be employed, but, to quote the exact words of the contract, "only white competent help of a clean and tidy appearance will be employed." This contract has never been changed or altered in any respect, and any voter may verify the truth of this statement for himself by consulting the records. The contract is Number 555-B and may be found on file at the County Supervisor's Office, Hall of Records Building. A number of leaders looked up the contract and found that no change has been made in the wording, despite statements made by Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean evidently feels that he is safe in thus insulting the Negroes of Los Angeles at a time when he is asking for their votes because he believes that a few self-styled leaders have the colored vote in their pockets, and can deliver it to him regardless of his actions. It remains to be seen whether or not he is right in his belief that the Negroes can be led about like a lot of sheep. In raising the bars against the employment of Negroes on the San Gabriel Dam commissary work, where many Mexicans will be employed, Mr. Bean is that mode of the Negroes in Los Angeles that are owners and heavy taxpayers contributing 75 percent of their tax money to the county, and getting no work in return, while the Mexicans, who as a general rule are not even citizens, pay little taxes and get all of the work. Born and raised as a boy in the south, I believe I can speak with some knowledge when I say that as a class of people none are cleaner than the Negroes, and I believe they will be quick to resent the insult from Supervisor Bean who apparently classes them as less clean than Mexicans, and does not understand the The Los Angeles Times, which for the last 25 years has bitterly opposed the working man, has indorsed the infamous Anderson contract, and is now expressing its regard for the workers, but is remaining silent on the reason why Negroes are barred from employment. As a matter of fact it appears that Negroes are barred because it is feared they would insist on all food being clean and well served, and if this were done the contract for feeders at the San Gabriel Dam would be less profitable to the contractor. The contract made by the County Supervisors with Anderson calls for the payment of $1.36 a day for the board of each man employed on the dam. Many Negroes in Los Angeles are employed as stewards and purchasing agents, and all of these will quickly realize that this sum is exorbitant. The contract is so suspicious that the San Gabriel Valley Protective Agiosociation, an organization, of taxpayers that was largely responsible for the passage of the bond issue for the construction of the dam, is now making an investigation and is planning to test the validity of the contract in court. The contract, which will involve more than $5,966,000, was made without competitive bidding, and if there is no graft in the award it appears at present in the catering field have estimated that there is at least $1,000,900 profit in the deal for the contractor provided he does not have to "split" his profits. Councilman Frank Shaw, who is opposing Supervisor Bean for re-election, has pledged himself to open meetings of the Board of Supervisors in case he is elected. Star chamber sessions of the board now are held where the business of the county is conducted in secret. Supervisor Shaw has been a supervisor for more than 10 years, it appears that it is only now, when he needs the vote of the Negroes, that he has ever paid them any attention. It appears also that he believes that the Negroes are like a band of sheep to be led to the polls by a few of their self-styled leaders. He apparently believes that by controlling a few of the Negro preachers he can depend on the votes of their congregations. Tuesday, November 6, will tell the story, and I for one firmly believe that at least 90 per cent of the Negro votes at L. L. Walker, the polls with a firm determination to the insult offered their race by Supervisor Bean by voting for Frank L. Shaw for Supervisor. B. F. MILLER, 5875 So.

Says it will not be sufficient that Herbert Hoover carry California, but his majority should be of such proportion to remove all future doubt as to the political status of the people of the great state of California. He is therefore urging all ex-service men to not only vote for Mr. Hoover but that they see to it that their friends also cast their vote. We owe this to ourselves and the public at large.

Quinn, past national commander of the American Legion and one of the outstanding veterans in the World War urges the entire support of the ex-service men for the election of Herbert Hoover upon November 6th.

Phillips, Nat'l. Republican Commit- The American Negro owes a debt to the Republican Party which has poul yet been paid. Rev. C. H. Phillip, of Cleveland, Bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and a member of the Negro division of the Republican National Committee, declared in a stirring address at Phillips Temple, 42nd and Wadsworth streets, Sunday evening. Bishop Phillips made an earnest plea for Herbert Hoover, the Republican presidential candidate and outlined the history of the Negro race in this nation for the past 200 years. "The race question does not enter into this campaign, neither does religion," he said, "but a study of the candidates of the two parties and a mere glance at the Democratic party should determine the attitude of the Negro at the polls. "There are leaders and members of the race who say that the Negro owes the Republican Party nothing; that the debt or gratitude for all it has done has been paid; and that now, he should either seek shelter and political alliance with the Democratic party or divide the vote. Those who take such a position are acting within the framework of forming a positive of forming such convictions as comport with their ideas and notions of political indebtedness. "Such questions belong to the leams of opinions and in such realms men have the right to differ. But in the realms of facts and truth men should agree. Whether the debt has been paid, let us first examine the debt and see if it really exists. The Negro was brought to this country as a slave and was held in bondage nearly two hundred and fifty years. Notwithstanding the inhumanities of the African slave trade and the cruelties of the system of slavery, the supposed economic benefits of the slavery scheme so thoroughly deposited its poisonous fangs into the heart and conscience of the nation, that this peculiar institution could not be dislodged without a terrible moral conflict and a final resort to arms. "But the anti-slavery element so increased in influence in Congress, and in the country, that in 1820 nearly two hundred years after his enslavement, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise, which made free states of all the states north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes. "On March 6th, 1820, Chief Justice Taney gave a decision in the Dred Scott case who brought suit for damages against his owner for flogging him. DECLARED that the Neeroh had no rights that the white man was bound to respect and further strengthened by a majority of the Justicees formally proclaimed the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. "These decisions brought the slavery Democrats into bold relief and the anti-slavery element into harmonious action for the betterment of the Negro. "They further stirred the entire country and contributed to a hastening of the abolition of slavery as well as gave evidence for the necessity of the organization of a new party. Out of these conditions the Republican party was born at Philadelphia, June 17th, 1856, and nominated John C. Peale of California for President and William H. Losey of Louisiana for Vice-President. Because of sympathy for and interest in the Negro, it was called the BLACK REPUBLICAN PARTY. The platform declared that the Constitution, the rights of the States, and the Union of the United States should be preserved; that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and denied the authority of Congress or any individual to get relief from slavery in any Territory of the United States under the present Constitution. Political Pot Pie Wood Wilson, general utility manager for the Hoover and Curtis meeting is very busy pulling off neighborhood meetings. He held forth at 1333 E. 33rd street Tuesday evening at 1542 E. Adams, Wednesday evening and at the residence of Mrs. E. A. Baldwin, Thursday evening. Swat Amendment No. 5 based on intolerance and hatred. No citizen who stands for fair play and justice should vote for No. 5. A. J. Fitzpatrick is making the welkin ring as one of the spell binders for Hoover and Curtis. Of course California campaigns are different and especially so this year. Not much activity but there is an interest just the same. Little hard on the campaign hustlers but perhaps better for the people at large. Friday. October 26. 1928 TID-BITS Another packed house hear J. H. (Jack) Bean and others last Monday evening at the 20th St. School house. An enthusiastic audience of more than 350 persons showed their appreciation to the man who has proven himself our friend. From the way the neighborhood meetings are being attended and the favorable responses given Jack Bean, he will go over 4 to 1 instead of 2 to 1 as he did in the Primaries. Jack Bean is our MAN. The last contract explanation will not do. Jack Bean had nothing to do with the word "white" in the contract. Nobody is fooled. You will have to whisper a little louder. MRS. CLARA C. HULBERT Shaw Campaign Orators Route Jack Bean A very enthusiastic audience assembled in the Assembly Hull of the Lafayette Junior High School, 14th and Naomi streets, last Monday night, to listen to the discussion of the San Gabriel Dam Contract. The Shaw heavy artillery of Orators were out and were assisted, aided and abetted by the Community singing "America, and the Negro National Anthem—Lift Every Voice." The Shaw Campaign Committee of our group and the citizens in general, appreciate the high plane on which Mr. Johnie Johnson is conducting this campaign, which has made it easy to attract some of the most prominent men and women of Los Angeles to the Shaw band wagon. The following are some of the Shaw speakers: Mrs. A. E. Richardson; Mrs. A. E. Walker; Mrs. Callie Snowden; Dr. H. C. Hudson; Attorney Bert McDonald; Charles H. Alston; Dr. A. B. Bowers; Mrs. B. E.

Page---T Willis Petroleum Company Starts Sales Organization Much interest is being taken in the Pre-Opending sale of the Willis-Vista Acres Tract, soon to be put on the market by the Willis Petroleum Company. 240 acres of the property, divided into acre and halfacre tracts, will be sold and purchasers will be entitled to share in a per cent of all OIL and GAS produced on a portion of the property. Much of the land is adapted to the growing of Oranges, Lemons, Flgs, Apricots and Grapes and to the raising of Chickens, Turkeys and Rabbitts. This land is in the heart of present OIL ACTIVITIES and many of the large California operated companies have land and are drilling in and around this property. A. E. J. PORTER The Climax Realty Company, 2701 South Central Avenue, Telephone number, Humboldt 7386, represented by Mr. E. J. Porter and Mr. J. W. Jones, have charge of sales and will be pleased to give prospective purchasers all desired information. Mr. D. M. Bechtel, who is perhaps os well versed on Oil and Oil Activities in the particular section where WILLIS-VISTA ACRES is located, has written the COMPANY a letter, which is selfexplanatory, and we publish it in full, as follows: "Los Angeles, California. "October 22, 1928. "Willis Petroleum Company, "409-410 Lissner Building. "524 South Spring Street. "Los Angeles, California. "Gentlemen: "About eight months ago your President, Mr. R. W. Willis, came to me saying—I know there is lots of money in Oil, if you get in right. I know that many men have made millions of dollars for themselves and their friends in the Oil game, from small beginnings and I know, too, that no opportunity has ever been given my people to own and control an Oil Company. Now, I have an ambition," said he, "to have an honest-to-gooodness OIL COMPANY, owned by our people and I wondered whether you would help me?" Just how well I have carried out my agreement or promise to assist he can tell you, but at this time I want to congratulate you on the work that has been done by your President, ally assisted by some other officers of your Company. J. W. JONES Starting in a small way your Company has gradually secured, what I consider, some of the most promising Oil Land in this State, right in the heart of active Oil Development. On adjoining property men connected with the Rio Grande Oil Company have oil flowing trothe ground, and these same men are drilling a deep test well on this same property. A very reputable man, who is said to represent the Shell Oil Company, has taken a lease within the past few months, on property which adjoins land you are purchasing in FEE. Not far from your land, the Doheny Interests have Oil and are adding further development in the way of a deep test well. The Bolsa Chico Company is also drilling a deep test well. On the other side you have the Oak Ridge Oil Company, a subsidiary of the old Ventura Oil Company, immediately adjacent to your land and within a short distance is the highly developed and productive Montebello Field. They say opportunity knocks at each man's door at least once during a life time and that it takes a wise man to know when to grasp that opportunity, but it seems to me that your President and those Officers closely associated with him have made a Ten Strike at the first grasp.

PRIOLEAU—KING NUPTIALS The prettiest wedding of the fall season occurred on Wednesday evening October 17, at Bethel A. M. E Church, West Thirty Sixth Street Los Angeles, when the charming daughter of Mrs. Ethel G. Prioleau and the late Chaplaun George W. Prioleau, Miss Mary Stafford Prioleau and the Reverend Ralph Reginald Kink popular pastor of Bethel and son of one of Oakland's oldest and most esteemed families, were united in marriage, it seemed quite fitting that these nuptials should be performed in the church which was established as a mission over five years ago by the father of the bride and whose reconstruction was successfully completed under the administration of the groom. Beautiful in its simplicity was the altar, graced by candles on either side and covered with white blossoms of the autumn season. The choir lot was partially hidden from view by green trelises upon which small white "mum" and terms entwined to help form a most picturesque background for the participants. The venerable Reverend B. R. Guy and the Reverend J. M. Wilson, general officer of the A. M. E connection, performed the ring ceremony. The program which preceded the ceremony carried out the keynote of simplicity that prevailed throut. Mrs Ruth Middleton, organist, began by playing Rubenstein's "Melody in F" as a prelude after which Mr. George Jones of South Los Angeles sang "Mt Dawning" Miss Verena Irvin sang "Because" as she entered from one side and mounted the stairs leading to the choir loft. Miss Viola Ranom entered from the opposite side of the church next, singing "Until" Both Miss Irvin and Ranom wore simple blugowns of soft cope. While Mr. Lawrence Lassiter offered a violin number "The World is Waiting for the Searise" The Reverends Guy and Wilson took their places in the pulpit. The beautiful thrilling strains of Mendelekoe's "Wedding March" then announced the arrival of the wedding party. Misses, Alise Davis, Danetta Smith and Mythe Cage, attendants to the bride were dainty gowned in frocks of imported dotted ornamental bouffant style, each wearing a large picture hat and carrying a huge bouquet of flowers to harmonize with the color of her dress. Miss Ethel Sue Prioban sister of the bride, was a beautiful maid of honor in a bouffant beach taffeta gown with the picture hat and bouquet to correspond. The Messieurs Rufus Norman, Oban Barar and Walter Gordon were the attendees to the gown, while Mr Grant Venable, was the best man. Each was tentlessly attired in the conventional evening clothes. The petite Miss Lois Prioban acted as ring bearer while Gloria Battie, and Valentina King were the flower girls. These little misses wore dainty imported frocks of colored organy to correspond with the dresses worn by the bride-smails. The Reverend King who was handsomely attired in formal clerical dress suit entered immediately after the best man and awaited the bride, who was promptly announced by the change in the musical strains to the 'The Bridal (chorus) from 'Lohengrin' Such a sweet lovely bride was Miss Priolean as she glided gracefully down the aisle in a very simple gown of white georgette with pointed, tiered skirt. She wore a long strand of dark colored pearls about her throat and a veil of imported French lace, trimmed in orange buds and blossoms. After the performance of the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's mother. More than three hundred guests filled the home which was literally changed into a flower garden by the baskets of posties placed here and there. And more than three hundred guests admired the wonderful array of handsome, inexpensive gifts that more than filled two rooms and really stand as a monument to the love and esteem in which the Reverend and Mrs. King and their restive families are held. The happy couple left the next day to spend their honeymoon in Oakland and will be at home to their many well wishing friends at 3516 Raymond Avenue after November the first. The Benefit Dance given by the Native californian's Club for the benefit of the Florida Sufferers was quite a success. All Californians worked hard, especially Mrs. Stella Brody, selling more than $25.00 worth of tickets. We as a club, only we wish we had more interested workers like Mrs. Brody. Words are inadequate for the donation of the Hall for this needy cause. Other donations added to the great success of this affair. MRS. L. BUTLER, Pres.

She lived in my sunshine awhile. She tendered the rose in my garden. I love to know that her smile. Meant the dawn of an Eden for me. But yesterday took her away To visit me in the distance. And now—rose petals flake the law, Like tear drops— Because she has gone. Sadly missed by her daughter. LOUIS E L. CARTER. Hoots From the Owl Hoots From the Owl To the Editor of THE CALTORNIA EAGLE. The official administration or rather (Cream of the L. A. City Government) is getting so sour and (curdling) so often the confidence and faith that the people of this city have in it that I sometimes wonder that they don't become sick from drinking the (Political Concoctions) that are mixed and forced upon them. Watch out folks for the bomb shells that are falling. I see where some of the shells have already made their mark, for instance (the President of the Police Commission). I think that Bob Schuler is the one to be commended for that (Knill's Eye). So where all of the leading citizens of Atlanta, Ga., are bitterly against the campaigning candidates rubbing the fur of the (Wild Cut) or better known as (The Race Question) the wrong way as they fear the harmony as they put it, (that now supposedly exists, but in reality does not) will be broken up. Quite wise, those Southerners are. Well folks, there are TWO less bribe takers on our police force as Ferdinand Meyer and C. F. McClellen were ousted Saturday. Looks as if bribing is not such a profitabl game these days. We often ask why WE don't get justice in a number of things? But how on earth can (WE) expect justice from people who don't even deal it out to themselves? For example the white-wash of Capt. J. L. Jones.

BMITT MANAGER CHURCH NEWS THE WOMEN AND GIRLS D PROGRAM AT BETHEL BAP- TIST CHURCH The program at the Bethel Baptist Church under the direction of Miss Helen Edwards and the pastor, Dr. J. D. Prowd, was a huge success. Standing room was a premium. From the opening of its doors until the close of the service the people continued to come proving that upon this occasion Bethel was the center of the community attraction. The principal speaker for the day was Dr. Cornelia Evans, who presented to her anxious hearers a paper on "Women in All Ages" brim full of information leveled with inspiration. The other feature attraction of the program were the musical numbers rendered by the pupils of Mrs. Brooks. Conspicuous visitors in the audience who seemingly enjoyed the program were Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Johnson, Mrs. A. E. Walker, Mrs. Cohn and Mrs. Caulberry. A. B. JULI MIC Assst.

Come to Wesley Looking Through Garvey's Eye BY: F. HYDE Taking into careful consideration, and by keen observation, watching the trend of the times, and the supper passing of events, it is not an imaginary vision, neither a miracle wrought, but rather the evolutionary reaction of the human mind, that the darker races of the earth, with all the constructive energy there is in man, is clamouring for a higher standard of social and political recognition, both nationally and internationally the world over. Among these various oppressed races. Stands the Great Ethiopian Race, or, "The Black Man," voicing their sentiments as never before, knowing of a reality that He's a part of this great human Human Family, that he too should be allowed to work out his own destiny, through whatever medium he thinks best, by which he may regain his ancestral nobility and preserve the hopes of his posterity, demanding his place in the affairs of men: "Looking Through Garvey's Eye." One can see this Ethiopian or "Black Man" in the next quarter century at the Head of a Mighty Nation dictated to, and governed by men of his own group in whose hands will be entrusted the destiny of four hundred million souls of Black Men and Women the world over. Mass Meeting every Sunday at 3 P. M. Library Hall, 2707 S. Central Ave. Special speakers on National and International subjects.

THE NEGRO AS A CITIZEN It is often said that all people in this country are even more consideration than the Negro. This is true only in part, but not altogether, for the Negro as a citizen of this country enjoys privileges and opportunities that are often denied those of some other groups. The Japanese, Chinese, Mexican or Filipino, may enjoy some social courtesies that is denied the Negro, but as it relates to those things that represents the more vital aspect of the Negro's citizenship, the Negro by far has the greater opportunity. We should remember that the white man has problems of his own as well as the Negro. Upon his shoulders rest the great responsibility of keeping America in the forefront of the march of progress of the nations of the world. To find markets for his surplus products, establish trade with foreign nations, to make and keep the friendship of these people upon whom our existence as a nation largely depends. These things to the average American White Man are more important than the things which seem to occupy the mind of the average Negro, whether or not he is to enjoy social equality with the white race. True social equality is a thing to be desired, yet it is a thing that has never existed, does not exist today and doubles many generations will pass before it will ever become a reality. Social Equality is one of the ideals or goals to which the human race is striving. Men have always chosen those with whom they wish to associate and denied remittance to those with whom they did not wish to associate. This condition exists not only between whites and blacks, but among the white people themselves. It is true that the Negro is sometimes denied some of his rights as a citizen. Against this we do and should protest but is it not also true that we spend too much time, energy and money in this direction. It seems that the best brains of the race are spending their time making protest against segregation of the Negro. While this is necessary should we permit it to overshadow everything else? Would it not be better for some of these men to spend some of their time thinking out a definite economic and industrial program for the race to follow that would command the respect of the white race? it is all right to talk about our rights, but the people today who have nothing are in the same position of the Negro slave when the Dred Scott Decision was handed down. The man of people today who are without anything have few rights that the people who have must or will respect. The white man's idea of civilization is represented in banks, business, railroads, factories and other tangible assets and the people who do not have these things, he considers not in his class and in a sense he is right, for a people who have nothing to give should not expect to get very much in this day when dollars count for so much and sentiment counts for so little. We have been wonderfully patriotic citizens in the time of war and in that respect we have played our part well but in the time of peace as constructive citizens to help to build up our country by a constructive programs, we have failed to measure up to our opportunities. How much is the Negro group contributing toward the economic and industrial progress of the country compared with what the white man is doing. When we make an honest comparison the little being done by the Negro becomes almost nil. Let us in the future instead of spending so much time talking about our rights, spend more time organizing our forces, building factories, businesses, and establishing industries for these things to the white race speak louder for our rights as citizens than all the oratory we can command.

Till thickly a rustling You'll cover the ground. For summer is over And Autumn is here. With its languid winds— Its cloud days and clear. Things that were green Are now turning brown The trees like skeletons Are standing around. The greenery of leaves Has shrunken away— No more in their branches Do the birds sing and play. To the Southlands They've fled, all one by one But they'll return When Winter is done— All nature hides In a sheltered fast— Autumn's the prelude To Winter's cold blast.

Thus it gave to the people of that island security from the blackmail and depredations of the brigands. The situation in Sicily was that of a governrent of crime. ramifying through official circles its methods for defying and ‘defeating justice. It takes no student of criminology to see that the same condition is threatened in the big cities of the United States. It is a matter of common knowledge that the members ot the criminal gangs, which have their organizations dangerously ramified throughout the large centers of population, are in large part Sicilian criminals, There is no obligation resting upon this nation to tolerate the presence of those who occasin the expenditure of vast sums of money for anti-gang policing, and who are a menace to the communities"and who demoralize the forces of law and rder. Deportation is harsh, but there is not the least reason for fail- ure to employ it where it may be legally invoked to rid the country of undesirable aliens, #Federal officials should look into the antecedents of all known gangsters and gunmen and carry out their deportation if it is established that they are illegally inthe United States. Doubtlessly, some of them were smuggled into the country, EMANCIPATION OF THE MALE The white starched collar has happened upon melancholy days. The thin air of respectability that once surrounded it, making it somewhat an object of envy to the soft-collar classes, has vanished into thinner air, the collar departing with it. If the horny-heanded sons of toil look upon it as a badge of any- thing, it is as a badge of servitude to custom and to an obso- lete fashion. ® The significance was knocked out of that graphic phrase, “the white-coilar job,’ by the coming into fashion of matched shirts and colars of bright tints and striped “effects. Further adoption of the soft and semi-soft callar will’ make of the old type of starched collar a museum curiosity, excepting of course those styles stil! resorted to for formal evening attire. In this revolutionary age one is as apt to find the blue shirt with attached collar of identical color and material in the swiv- el chair and behind the counter as in the engine cab and at the lathe. If there is any difference it is in the grade of the mater- ial and the shade of blue. It is a good wind that blows nobody any ill and in this instance considerable ill seems to have been wafted in the di- rection of laundrymen, manufacturers of laundry starch and that noble band of workers who in the past have derived such consummate enjoyment out of referring derisively to the white- collar classes. INTO THE UNKNOWN Time was when silence might have been added to the cate- gory of things to be endured by polar explorers, but this is another day. No longer is the explorer of the unknown lost to the world the moment his ship disappears beyond the horizon. Our roving spirits travel deluxe nowadays with all the comforts and conveniences that science can afford. Thanks to the radio, they are never completely cut off from the workaday world. Whether they be in mid-ocean or ice-bund smewhere in the frigid zne, they may dancd to the syncopation of Broad- way r grow sleepy-eyed with the tiny tots of Kansas to Uncle Somebody’s bedtime stories. Barring accident to its elaborate radio sending and receiv- ing equipment the Byrd expedition will be in communication with the civilized world during the two years of exploration and scientifie study in the Antarctic. But even with such diversion ‘two years is a long time for a group of men to see only each other. If human nature runs true to form, they will be hating each other fervently many a time and oft before the two years of close association have passed. Their’s is a test not only of courage but of endurance, endurance of each other no less than of cold and hardship; endurance of peculiarities of temperament, of dispositions strained and per- haps cracked by the inevitable waiting and inaction. Long before the twenty-four months have passed they will understand why husbands and wites quarrel cnd why invalids demand frequent chamges in attendants AMENDMENT NO. 5 BORN IN HATRED AND INTOLER- ‘ANCE AND SHOULD BE DEFEATED We cannot impress too forcibly the duty which rests upon every voter who stands for a square deal to use every honor- able means at their command to defeat Amendment No. 5, which calls for the repeal of regulated bouts under State Super- vision and at the same time ushers into our midst the four round boxing program as it was served prior to the present well regu- lated form of boxing. ; As a mattex of fact the four round boxing measure was a joke, it has been referred to by one writer as a ‘bootleg’ pro- duct’ of the boxing game. We are satisfied if the preachers who have been enlisted in the Los Angeles Examiner's army of intolerance, prejudice and hate only knew the difference they would vote cnelhundred times NO on this proposition No. 5. The present law is what the peaple want if we are to have box- ing at all, for it provides for State Regulation, while the repeal of No. 5 would provide for amateur boxing without regulation and with professional boxers taking the leading role. We have said before that the four-round boxing laws make law breakers, prevaricators and the practice ‘of deceit and fraud, It will be remembered back in the days of this same measure that the four-rounders (supposedly amateurs) with all the leading professional boxers in the country contesting was going merrily along, Colima, Puente, Cross, Rivers, et al, at amerry gait. But ina moment of forgetfulness Madison Square procured Sam Langford, the biggest crowd in history stormed the garden and just about‘this time Los Angeles police discov- ered professionals were boxing and refused to let the bout go on, even for four rounds. The joke was that it was amateur un- less the renowned boxer was black. _This is an example of the small, snide and deceitful meth- ods in vogue during the days of the four round game, which the adoption of No. 5, would foist back upon the people of this State. Vote NO on Amendment No. 5. WE CAN’T SEE IT .

The election of Senator ohnson is as- jsured, but that is not the thing at issue. The short session of [Congress will end on March the 4th. During the period of that jsession tremendous efforts will be put forth to accomplish the |delayed success of the Boulder Dam Bill which is to be made jthe first order of the session. There is not a Californian who |does not realize what the passage of that measure means to the state. We have watched with admiration the courageous fight |—made against odds that scemed insurmountable. —tor the iright of the people to conserve and control the natural resources jof the nation. Hevhas to fight the powerful monopoly, the Pow- er Trust, with its powerful influence of a billion dollar lobby. While others have been intimidated and muzzled by threats of coercion or false propaganda, Senator Johnson has defied their power, dragged their pernicious activities out into the light for public inspection aud so lucid was his exposition of facts that in spite of organized filibustering he was able to force his measure jto a place on the calender where it will have precedence. Now! ‘Merely to send the Senator back to Congress will not sufiice. We owe a debt of gratitude to him for which a mere election would be a very poor recognition. The people of the State of Cali- fornia must give an expression of their appreciation of his ser- vice by giving him an enormous majority. It-is by this means that the influence of Senator Johnson will be greatly strengthen- ed, and when the Senate listens to his final plea for passajre of the Boulder Dam measure it will know that the electorate of his state stands unanimous behind him, and that thev support his progressive programme. Especially should the voters of San Francisco give him their unstinted and loyal support. If ever the Bay of San Francisco is spanned by a bridge it will come largely through the efforts of the Senator. hat project has had no greater chumpion. In season and out; even under physical handicap, he has assisted and espoused the bridging of the Bay. Fearless; with a courage to battle to the end for! that which he deems right. Loyal: faithful to the trust reposed in him by his constituents, and the people at large. Honest! With an integrity that has‘never been questioned, a probity un- | blemished. Let it be said that California, one of the mést im- portant in the galaxy of thy union of states, knows how to ap- preciate the service of its footie servants by returning Senator ‘Hirlam Johnson ta the Senate by the biggest majority ever giv- en & candidate for ottice. = | i * * * . * ‘fhe untimely death of that little 14 wear old school girl in Chifago, should be a warning to the mothers who are lax in the rvefitel attitude which should be taken toward girls in the age of adolescence. The temptations of the age are many. Pitfalls Ao ° | and traps for the unwary and unsophisticated are numerous. There is always some human vulture waiting for prey.

It is a deplorable fact that there is more surreptitious drinking of | hard alcoholic liquors since the advent of prohibition than at any stage in the life of the nation. There have been more deaths, either directly or indirectly, caused by the drinking of | illicit aleohol than ever were recorded before the advent of the Volstead law. , This drinking by stealth is what caused the mur- | der of that little girl and her paramour.

Mo, | The writer a well known attornev and life long friend of the | writer. Reinga strict party man his observetion hes consider- | ehle weicht. Reing a nerson of prominence in the affairs of the city, and speaking with candor as one friend to another. we rather reluctantly accent his statement as an unbiesed obser- vation. Here is the letter, or that part of it in answer to the question: “My dear friend Billie: T am truly sorry that T will be unable to give you any cheer, and when the facts are stated 1 am sure that you will regret with me that such {s the case, It the 60,000 registered votes will he cast for the Demo- crat nominee, More than that, there is a Negro rane | ning for Congress on the Democrat ticker and receive : ing the support of the Democrat machine, Ie stands a splendid chance for election, Paid a visit to Kansis City last week, The condition tiere is similur to that ‘ in St. Louis. With kindest regards: That is just what is drawing thousands of Negroes from the party of their choice. The activity of the K's. The big Ne- ,€ro vote in the urban centers is liable to determine the result :of the election Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Mlinois: not making imention of the border Atlantig States are liable to be deter- mined by the Negroes ballot. He is bitter against the K’s, and |he is.at a loss to figure why the party of Lincoln should allow |the sinuous snake of racial enmity to be flaunted openly in their jface. it was regretted in the first place that the party listened to the siren call of the “Lily's” and allowed them to depose the men who had even kept a semblance of party unity in that,sec- ition. It allowed them to plaster men of splendid character with the slime of slander. It sold the birth right, but it will not be |uble to collect the mess of pottage. Taft tried it, Roosevelt tried it, end with the exception of Missouri, the South is still SOLID. We doubt that should Oscar DePriest be elected to Con- #ress whether he will be able to, or rather be allowed to, take his seat in that body. The holding over of those indictments until he was in the midst of his campaign savors of an unsavory political intrigue. We have in mind the fight made by the late ) John M. Langston, who was elected from the Petersburg, Va. district. The Democrat politicians had gerrymandered the state and overlooked the district which contained a preponfer- ance of Negro votes» Langston was quick to grasp the situation and before the whites could wake up, he had been elected to Congress. He was elected and that was all. Langston was a well educated man. A graduate from Oberlin College. He was of the house for the privilege of taking his rightful place. But feared his invective. Day after day he applied before the bar of the house for the privilege of taking hisrightful place. But in vain: until the close of the session when he ws admitted and sworn in, He could do no harm. He could with fearless mein tell those gentlemen from “Down There” of their iniquities. No, all that he could do was draw his salary for.the session, go haek to Virginia and watch the “Gentlemen” untangle the ger- rymander so that there would be no earthly chance of him re- peating. We fearthe same will apply to DePriest They wil! hold that indictment until Congress ends; should he win. Should he lose, the matter will be dropped. | | * es © *# 8 | | At this writing it appears that one other aviator has failed in the attempt to fly the Atlantic. Commander M. C. MeDon- ald, Briton, essays to fly from the coast of New Foundland, lacross the North Atlantic to the coast of Ireland. He hopped off in a tiny plane, a “Gypsy Moth” with a wing spread of about 26 fect and carrying 10 gallons of fuel. The motor was said to be of 100 horse power, He expected to make the flight in thir- | ty-six hours, But at this writing he was hours overdue and hope for his sifety had begen to wane. We have searched for some reason other than a “thrill” which would have tempted the man to have made such a venture. There was nothing to be gained from either a scientific or a commercial view. Just another young life wasted in the search for notoriety. At this season of the year severe storms are prevalent along the course of the attempted flight. That tiny plane would be buffeted by them and would be as a moth in a storm. The huge Zeppelin that crossed from Germany had all that it could do to make the journey, At that it went hundreds of miles out of the intend- | ed course to evade the storms. So one can imagine what chance a tiny plane would have. * * #. * * t ! There are several proposed amendments to the Constitu- | tion of the State which the voters will decide at the fortheom- ing general election. But the one that is being given the most thought and consideration is the one sanctioning an act of the legislature in the Reapportionment of Legislative Districts. It would repeal section 90 of the Political Code, and amends sec- | tion 78 of the same. At the election of 1926 an initiative con-| stitutional amendment was adopted by the electors, which | changed the method of dividing the state into senatorial dis-! trictricts. It provided that no county or city and county shall | contain more than one senatorial district, and it groups coun-| ties of small population in districts not to exceed three coun- ties. The old constitution gave San Francisco seven; Los Ange-| les, eight and Alameda county three senators. Los Angeles |. county loses seven senators but gains a small increase in the as- | sembly, but San Francisco not only loses six senators but also loses in the assembly. One argument against the reterendum | says: “There is no logical reason why populated cities and coun- | ties containing almost the entire manufacturing, shipping and commercial interests of the statd should be deprived of repre- sentation and their rights delegated and transferred to small | counties and rural distrjcts unacquainted with their necessi-| ties.” The bill is known as the Boggs Reapportionment Act | and is sponsored by the senator from the Tenth Distriet—Stock- ton. There promises to be quite a fight over the referendum. — | * Te * * * | Another live issue is the street railway franchise in San | Francisco.

The game marked the second week of the winter league. The first series being played against Pirrone's All-Stars. Earn Nabe pitched for the white teams, holding the Giants down to right (8) hits. Brewer, young hurler who made a record for himself in the East this summer, pitched for the Giants. The downfall of the Giants came in the first inning when the White Kings piled up four (4) runs off past balls, gaining a lead in the fifth inning that the Giants could not overcome. Day, second base man made a pair of two baggers. Allen made a two-base hit in the first inning, scoring Day. Next week's game will be between Pirrone's All-Stars and the Cleveland Giants.

PUPE INDEPENDENT Lafayette Players in "Anna Christie" at Lincoln Theatre The famous Lafayette Players, colored artists, will open a new week tonight with an elaborate production of Eugene O'Neill's dramatic masterpiece, "Anna Christie." Not since "Rain" has the Lincoln Theater secured such a gripping play, and the new attraction promises to show off the excellent-dramatic talents of Evelyn Preer to good advantage, just as the eannie EagJels' vehicle did. When the curtain goes up on the opening act of "Anna Christie," Captain Christenson, "Anna Christie's father, is shown in a saloon in the lower section of New York, having just arrived off a cool barge with "Martha," a woman of the streets, with whom he has been living on the boat. At this point a letter arrives and on read it, Capt. Christenson learns that his daughter is on her way to New York and is due to arrive any moment. His greatest worry then is how to get rid of Martha before Anna arrives, since she believes him to be a model father. The real dramatic incidents of "Anna Christie" start however when Capt. Christenson's daughter tuns out to be vastly different from the innocent girl he supposed her to have remained during the fifteen years of his absence at sea. This is revealed in a startling talk that Anna has with "Martha" in which it is brought out that instead of being safe on the distant farm where her father had taken her many years before, the girl has been living by her beauty, wandering from one city to another. All this however, is kept from Capt. Christenson who continues to believe Anna incapable of wrongdoing. Miss Preer is due to win an abundance of new laurels in this powerful and gripping role which calls into play every ounce of her dramatic talent. Lawrence Criner will play "Matt Burke," the fighting stoker who falls madly in love with "Anna Christie" and who almost goes mad with grief when he finally learns that she is not after all, the "angel Anna" he had pictured her. The cast also includes Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Cleo Desmond, Monte Hawley, Edwd Thompson, Bebe Townsend, Charles Olden and others. VIDOR FINDS HIS MOVIE "HEROES" (By: A. N. P.) New York, Oct. 20.—The nationwide search by King, Vidor, director of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer moving pictures, for characters for leading roles in the forthcoming production, "Halleljahjah" ended here last week, when Honey Brown, a dancer appearing nightly in Club Harlem, and Daniel Haynes of "Show Boat" were selected from over twelve hundred applicants for roles in the show. Haynes will be seen as Zeke, the rugged young colored man of the Vidor story and Miss Brown will have the part of Chick, a brown-skinned stren. The ingenuce role of the picture will be portrayed by Victoria Spivey, who has appeared in a number of local night clubs and has also made a large number of phonograph records. Everet McGarrity seventen year old Chicago boy who was discovered in a Chicago theater while Mr. Vidor was on his way East will have the second male lead in the new film. Definite decisions have not yet been made about the other two chief roles—those of the mother and father of Zeke. Haynes first attracted the attention of New Yorkers when he stepped at the last minute into the lead in the "Bottom of the Cup" vacated through the illness of Charles Gilpin. He is a graduate of Morris Brown University. EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928 Toby Josephs Wants To Race Ouafi Toby Josephs, the little 15 year old McKinley School hero of Pyle's Famous Punion Derby is one brown boy in the West who believes he can outrun that other great brown boy, Ouafi from Algiers. Toby hopes Ouafi will be brought here and that he will get a chance at him. OUAFI BEATS RAY The smooth, tireless stride which carried Abdle El Ouafi of Algiers to victory over the world's greatest marathon runners at Amsterdam in the 1928 Olympic games served the little milk chocolate colored little runner to good purpose in his first test as a professional in Madison Square Gardens when, last week, before some 6600 spectators, he patterned across the chalk-marked finish line more than two laps ahead of Joie Ray of Chicago. The Algerian's time was 2:44:55:25, slow for the distance, but possibly all that could be expected in view of the stuffy atmosphere in Madison Square Garden. WHAT NAMES! BUT THEY BATTLE AT MAIN ST. Joe Peregrina, the hard walloping Mexican-165 pounder who knocked out Ted Sluder, Atlantic Fleet champion, recently has been signed to meet Frank Petroski, Honolulu battler, at the Main Street Athletic Club next Saturday night. Kano Uakamura, San Francisco Japanese southpaw, stopped Jimmy Mullen, Denver 127 pounder, in the second round of last Saturday night's headline bout. Young Soko was shaded by Joe Cabaleri and Robert Baray knocked out Ray Molina in other featured battles. Manual vs. Poly; Jeff vs. Hollywood; L. A. vs. Franklin---Friday THREE BIG GAMES ARE SCHEDULED FOR THIS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCT. 26th The pinnacle, for which both teams are striving, is nothing less than the City League title, and although a prep football championship is never decided until the final whistle blows in the last game of the season, the winner of Fridays' game will hold a very strategic position. Manual Arts is scheduled to oppose coach Voyle Breman's Poly. In the second game of the day Los Angeles will meet Franklin at Moore Field. The third game, Friday, will find Hollywood meeting Jefferson on the former's field. Vic Kelly's red-shirted warriors are billed for a victory in this game, but if the four hefty hard fighting colored boys—Creecy, Watts, Petugrew and Cooke—are put in earlier than they have been, their determination and added strength may turn the tide to victory for the "Democrats." Atlanta, and studied for a while in the University of Chicago, at Chicago. Haynes has a powerful physique and a rich baritone voice and played for a while in "Rang Tang." Miss Brown is regarded as one of the cleverest dancers on the stage, her work in "Keep Shuffin'," Miller and Lyles' last effort creating a sensation along the Great White Way. She also appeared at the Bamboo Inn of this city and was one of the reasons for its popularity. Neither of the pair have had screen experience.

Fields has long been knocking at the championship door but his plan for entrance have been unhed. A convincing victory over Baker next Tu sday night will place him in a position where the champion must meet him or face a heavy penalty. The California Boxing Commission has already announced that it is ready to declare Fields wetterweight champion of the world. Baker's victory over Corbett was made all the more impressive when Jack Thompson knocked Joe Dundeechamp, kicking in two rounds, because Corbett had previously beaten the pack we weren't. FIELDS FAVORITE Chances are that Jackie will be a heavy favorite to outpunch Baker when they enter the ring. Practically everyone admits that Sergeant Tommy's only chance is to land one of his right hands to the jaws and it isn't everybody who can tag Fields.

ON YOUR MARK. RUNNERS! Coach Dean Cromwell of the University of Southern California, yesterday issued the first call for trackmen to start conditioning for his 1929 varsity. Long distance men will be given first attention. it was stated by the coach, who is planning to enter a strong team in the annual cross-country event scheduled for December 14. These Turtles No sir, Ol' Brer Rabbit in person couldn't beat these turtles that are doing their stuff at the Olympic this week. They are going strong regardless of bookies, touts or jockeys conspicuous by their absence. The Olympic Auditorium has been converted into a miniature race track. There is an 80-foot circle built on a level with the ring over the choice seats that fans like to get for good boxing shows. A green border makes the trark look like a huge golf tee. Snapping turtles will not be barred from the terapin derry which opens Wednesday night in the Olympic. A GAME BOY A game boy is Joan Christmas. Christmas drew a lot of admiration in ever seen, so that is why John "Kid" Christmas drew a lot of admiration in his recent bout against Joe Coneaux on the all-colored card at the Olympic Auditorium during the night of the boxing show. Christmas went into the ring weighing 129 against Coneaux's 135, with the Asa Spades towering him by many inches. Yet with all him by many inches. Yet with all this handicap he fought one of the gamest fights seen in many moons. Christmas hails from Saint Kitts island, West Indies. That is where he started boxing just about a year ago. He had fifteen (15) fights in various parts of the Indies and he has about the same number since his arrival in the states. Christmas is very anxious to reach the top and with his colorful style will surely make it. Baby Jans Gans, Los Angeles Negro lift weight, gave Nick Palmer, New York national guard welterweight, a terrific beating in a 10-round bout at the new Broadway arena tonight. Palmer stayed the limit, but was out on his feet in the final round. Gans weighed 1391, Palmer 148. GANS ARRIVES IN DECEMBER Returning like a conquering chief with the scalps of many an eastern topnoter hung on his belt the Young "Master" will be home the latter part of December about time for the holidays. He writes that his backers there are waiting for Mushy Callahan to come East as they expect to force him into a title match. Manager Laryne Liechstein declares that Baby Joe will give Mushy a much more artistic trimming that he did that memorable night at Vernon, in fact intends to lay him away among the rest of the K.

New York: *Ace Huckins, the Nebraska "Wildcat"* was given three days' time today in which to signify his desire to climb back to the challenging post in the middleweight division.

GILPIN Supported By the Greatest Assemblage of Race Artists Yet Seen in Any Picture HARRY HENDERSON, LAWRENCE CHENAULT, WILLIAM CLAYTON, ARLINE MICKEY . . . ALL OF “A PRINCE OF HIS RACE” Upper- Cuts & Blocks ---By--- HARRY LEVETTE SHAKE HANDS OLD TOP YOU AND ALL your brothers and sisters of the darker hue who a few weeks ago swore by all the big and little gods that you would help vote boxing out of the State of California. "VERILY the Wise Man Changeth but the fool never." Therefore you, M. Voter, who have had a change of heart and have shown your wisdom. All this is concerning the fact that a great deal of sentiment which suddenly arose among the colored voters young and old a few weeks ago has reverted to the standard of cooler second thought and judgment founded upon sensible deliberation. We as a race are trying hard to forget the days of slavey when the race through compulsion followed a line of action and even thought set by those who held them in bondage. We are having the same fight upward that all other races of the world that aspired to a place in the Sun have had. But when we listen to the teachings of those who do not have our interests at heart we are blindly following the leadership detrimental to us. Nothing would please the demigods who want to vote out boxing better than to know that the Negro voters followed their advice rather than use their own judgment. With a loud horse-laugh they would be ha-lustly—"See, we got the heavy Colored vote they're easily led." Following are a few facts that have caused a great change and have lined up 90 per cent of the Colored casters of balloons with the determination to vote out Amendment. No. 5. 30 per cent of the ring contests during the past year have been participated in by colored. In the four-round days colored boxers were more discriminated against than now and the four-round days come back when boxing goes. Those who never attend boxing contests will nevertheless be effected by the passing of a measure founded on racial prejudice. Boxing is a recognized part of our national life; Negroes are 100 per cent American.

She is Mrs. Geraldine Forsdon, known familiarly to her friends as "Jerry." She is pretty graceful and very popular but withal, highly ambitious to be one of the world's greatest bird girls. With so few women of the race turning their effort toward aviation, she bids fair to be an outstanding figure in the near future. The club $\phi$ is called the Bessie Coleman Aero Club and has as its aim the promotion of Aeronautics in the race. There are only a few members so far belonging but two of them have already attained much local fame.

Redden as been assigned to Hanford for another year. The Annual Conference will also convene in Hanford next year. Rev. Redden proved himself quite a Chaunfiller. His Cadillac can surely travel. Mr. Henry Meyers is still confined to bed in the Local Hospital. We pray for his recovery. Sunday was a high day in Zion.

Promoter Lou Daro declared yesterday in announcing that the Nebraska had turned down his offer to wrestle HaunSteinke at the Olympic, Oct. 21st. Black American Football Teams to Play at Wrigley Field A tentative promise has been made to the Black-American Athletic Association football teams for several games at Wrigley Field before the close of the season against some of the best white teams of the city. They will probably meet the L. A. Firemen or one of the fleet teams in the first session which will be shortly.

REGINALD SIKI CHALLENGED WINNER OF LEWISPLESTINA: STECHER IN COME-BACK SOON When Champion "Strangler Lewis" and Marin Plestina, wrestler in that exciting title defense at the Olympic, Tuesday, Oct. 16th, a telegram was brought to the ringside from Reinald Siki, giant Abyssinian who has been traveling in Russia and India. Siki wanted the winner and judging from his past performances here for promoter Lon Daro, he is a dangerous opponent for either. Siki is about the only recognized wrestler of Negro blood in the game and always gets a big hand. Church, being away, his congregation worshiped with Zion, and all had a glorious time. Mrs. Elmora Welcher, has just returned from the General Baptist Association and reports a wonderful meeting. She also had a very delightful time. We are hoping a great future for Hanford. COMMENCING y, October 28 r Room" ACTOR Friday, October 26, 1928 RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By— Joe Rakestraw PULLMAN OFFICIAL DENY GIVING ORDERS TO POTERS AND MAIDS THAT THEY MUST VOTE FOR COMPANY PLAN In their determination to get down to the bottom of this outrage representatives of the American Federation of Labor have appeared at Pullman Offices in several districts to find out whether the porters are forced to vote for the Company Plan, or if their elections are made possible by means of force and intimidation. The following questions and answerers are the exact results of an interview between a superintendent and two officials of the Central Labor Council who did not reveal their identity until the superintendent had committed himself. You will note that the Labor Officials posed as members of a corporation employing Negroes. We are interested in the success of your Employee Representation Plan, and we wanted to know if your porters are satisfied with it or just what influence their union have on the porters? Ans. Of course the Union influence is strong, but the Company is always able to get these darkies to vote for the Plan. All we have got to do is tell them they had better vote and they are scared to death. There are a few porters who are pretty well satisfied and we usually use those fellows to whip the others in line. Are there any porters who positively refuse to vote? Ans. Yes. There are some, but you gentlemen must realize that Negroes generally become frightened when a white man tells to go out and look for another job. When a porter refuses to vote, we usually place a mark against his name and he belives that we have singled him out for dismissal and the scheme works out without any difficulty. Is it true that they are told if they do not vote for the Plan they cannot work for the Company? Ans. Not exactly. We usually look at them right in the eye and threaten them a bit and that is sufficient. What would happen if all the porters refused to vote? Just tell us what would the Company do about it? Ans Why, nothing, but they will vote those darkies will do anything a white man tells them to do. During my leisure moments, my wife and my self usually discuss it as a huge joke. Why even some of the most intelligent looking fellows can be relied upon to put the election over. We just tell one to run for office and he belives he is a big nigger. He will lay off the road a few trips and work just as zealously as ever, it is inconceivable, but it is nevertheless true. Just one more question and we must be going. Would many of the porters vote voluntarily if the Company refrained from using any of the methods such as you have explained? Ans. I think not, at least I am sure. The porters do not want the Plan, and the Company has no legitimate way of getting them to accept it. We cannot force them to do so, but as I have aforesaid our scheme works. We thank you for the interview but we want you to know before leaving that we are not representing a corporation. We are Labor Officials sent here to find out just what we suspected in as much as no Company Union would give us such valuable information as you have. Good Day. HERE AND THERE A. 13—Foot Waxhill A waybill, having the extraordinary length of 12 feet, was recently used by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in handling two carloads of assorted groceries from Chicago under a single waybill to Centralia, Ill., where a large mail-order house opened a store. Unmentionables Nighties, frilly, lacy, delicately tinted oneleg or long sleeved, gathered at the yoke, outing flannel ones, regardless of their alluring cost, are one item of clothing most frequently left in Pullman cars when the train comes to a halt, according to the records of lost and found articles kept by C. W. Gardner, union station agent at Wichita, Kan. An Island Empire Nepoleon at Elba had nothing on Robert E. Dolan, passenger conductor running between Omaha and North Platte, on the Union Pacific. Dolan is king not only of one island but of two. These islands are in the North Platte river near Valley, Nebr. Dolan bought them some years ago and established his residence on the larger of the two. He spends practically all of his time there when not on his run. Rule G Arrives in Germany Two western railroads came to grips recently over the question of which was to have the honor of furnishing the private car for Herbert Hoover on his trans-continental journey from Palo Alto, Cal. to Washington, D. C. The contest was fought to a draw, the Southern Pacific furnishing the car for the first leg to Los Angeles and the Santa Fe supplying the car from this point. As a result Hoover had the novel experience for a presidential candidate of transferring during the trip. The railway administration of Germany has ordered that milk markets be installed at strategic points to enable railway men to quench their thirst. The administration is sending out a special train to show the workers, graphically, the injunctions effects of strong drink and the necessity for abstinence. In a letter to employees the administration states that, in view of the attempts being made to in crease the speed of trains, it is absolutely essential that the workers remain sober, particularly while on duty. There seems to be some logic in their arguments. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFCRNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened For 47 years, 1000 Broadway has meant a lot to Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis employees, and others who come in contact with that road's officers.

This being the work of the drag net of the "Flying Squad." SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOPE Eddie Hayes, after several months of serious thinking, last Tuesday evening, Promised to Love, Honor and Obey. Three cheers for Eddie. The Clatter extends congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hayes.

ON THE SIDE TRACK IN DEAR OLD SAN AN-TO-NIO After much persuasion on the part of platform officials at the Commissary, a crew was found to work the delegation of the American Legion to San Antonio, Texas. On reaching the Golden spot called San Antonio, several members of the crew crashed the gates of Commerce Street, began meeting old friends and making new ones. Richard Moore served as guardian of the car and remained there and protected the interests of Mr. S. P. Geo. (Red) Miller served as Sponsor. After 4 P. M. Chef Milton Anderson could not be found with the assistance of a compass. Ellis Bratton was absent for two days, but was excused when no excuse was rendered. Mr. McGowan received a phone call each morning to see if he desired a ride. Which he did each afternoon. John Reeves, being a native of The Lone Star State but not having been accustomed to the climate, took on a minor illness. A good time was had by all until the news that the city of Houton was to be the next stop, then every body became homesick, on reaching the Bayon City, New Orleans came in for its share and after two hours every member of the crew became reconciled and began to look forward to reaching the Crescent City. On arrival the boys began, to wend their ways down the famous Rampart Street, shortly afterwards returning having taken on the appearance of Jew peddlers, load with sea food, ets. Every one was elated over the trip and are looking forward to making another in the near future. T Side trip for the Argonaut, Lark and Parde Diners. Saturday morning found a few of the L. A. diners out of line, the same being caused by Six sections of The Lark and two sections of the Padre carrying 14,000 fans to Oakland to witness the great football game between U. S. C. and The Trojans. Eddie Hayes first step in S. F. was to get transportation back to Oakland, Andrew Price accompanied the groom, Eddie Williams, Buford Green and Lenza Thomas remained in the Bay City. Chef. Miller, of 1004 stuck close to Seventh Street made a strenuous effort to keep J. Piper with him but the lure of dear old San Francisco caused him to catch The Sacramento for the great Metropolis. Joe Lamont and Shirley Mack frequented the Wild West movies on Market Street, until Mack was mistaken for a Pug, which caused the two to feel a bit chesty, crashed into The California for the high brow stuff. Johnnie (Sonny) Carter and Mose Alexander, went in search of old friends, among the many found was Claude Smith, who sent his best to his many friends here. Yours truly dined with relatives and broke the speed record trying to make the Mole ar seven bells. Everything was pretty and all was well until the announcement came on arrival in L. A. that a second trip was to be made and with an orchestra accompaniment singing took place, and as the previous trip had not meant much as to dollars and cents with one of the Bird cards it found a few of the number remaining in Some of the cars that were fortunate enough to handle the ball players really had a lesson in percentage when the Auditor began to speak in terms of 10 Per Cent. J. Piper, Larks For one evening, but immediately upon arrival of 79, he beat it for the Desert. Jack Claibourne makes the Santa Barbara Swing and swings off to his former run.

Mr. Freddie Caldwell is with us as usual. Doug Pierson is still riding the water wagon. A Harris is still in Chicago and we wonder why. FRED MASON Res., 836 Birch St., Phone VAndike 1735. / A square deal and a delivery of the goods. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN The EASTSIDE MOTHER'S HOME, operated by the Eastside Mothers' Club, giving pre-natal and post-natal care to the Un-Married Colored Mother and her child, received from the Community Chest fund this year $3200.00. This sum enabled the organization to house and care for twenty-five babies and twenty-seven unfortunate girls, many of the girls being under fifteen years of age. Without home or protection other than afforded by the Eastside Mothers Club, aided by the Community Chest, these unfortunate individuals would have been thrown on the mercies of a somewhat cruel and relentless world. Since this is the only shelter open to our unfortunates the appeal from the Chest should be generously answered by our group of citizens. The drive open November 12th. Give graciously and freely with the thought that "He who helps a little child" is saving life and enriching humanity. Give with heart and hand and save a baby's life.
