1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Dr. Hudson Re-elected To Head N.A.A.C.P. and forceful sermon. Friends of each other. VOLUME 42 Dr. Hudson Makes Run Away Race for Re-election The threatened and much talked of assault upon the leadership of Dr. H. C. Hudson as the head of the Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. fizzed out when the show down came on last Sunday, when the opponents of Doctor Hudson could muster only a nearly 49 votes against him. It was an outstanding victory for an outstanding man who has trimmed no corner nor asked any quarter. He is on the job every minute of the time for the advancement of all people. The meeting was well attended and the interest was great. They came out in large numbers to uphold and endorse the good work of their president. For the other offices there was a keen rivalry but throughout the whole proceedings the administration scored heavily. Mrs. Zella Taylor also made a runaway race for Secretary, likewise Dr. Baumann for Treasurer and Geo. A. Beavers, Jr. for Financial Secretary. Mrs. J. M. Scott scored a big lead for one of the four vice-presidents Mrs. Hill was a close second. Dr. Somerville a strong 3rd, while Eliza Cooper nosed out the veterah J. Thomas Norris by two votes as the 4th vice-president. Owing to the length of the ballot and the multiplicity of names to canvass the meeting was adjourned as the canvass was left in the hands of the tellers with directions to count up and announce the results. The following officers were elected: Dr. H. C. Hudson, president; four vice-presidents in order—Mrs. J. M. Scott, Mrs. A. Hill, Dr. J. A. Somerville, Eliza Cooper; secretary, Mrs. Zella Taylor; treasurer, Dr. Albert Baumann; financial secretary, Geo. A. Beavers Jr. Executive Board: In order of vote received—Father W. T. Cleghorn, Rev.

Roland Hayes' Cousin Blossoms As Concert Singer (By The Associated Negro Press) Henderson, N. C., Dec. 13—Richard D. Mann of Rome, Georgia, a relative of Roland Hayes, the famous tenor, who traveled with his cousin for a couple of years as secretary became so inspired by the results of Hayes' musical effort and attainment that he himself has become a concert singer. Having known Hayes since childhood and being familiar with his remote or obscure beginning, Mr. Mann sees possibilities of function for himself through hard study and the training on his voice. Mr. Mann appeared at the High School here in Henderson a few nights ago giving a recital. Local papers and the general public were very enthusiastic in expressions of appreciation for the splendid program he gave. Fay Belle White The sparkle from an earring with a mounting of distinctive workmanship that won unstinted admiration from her many friends is missing from the ear of beautiful Fay White, well known charming belle of this city, pictured above. Outside the realm of possibilities a veil of mystery surrounds the disappearance of this unique piece of jewelry that Miss White has treasured for many years. A visit of Miss White's mother and father from Denison, Terau, was responsible for many social functions in which Miss White was hostess on recent occasions. A good description of the diamond can be gained from the likeness in the above photo and any information or the return of the stone will receive a liberal reward.

Superior Court, siting as a court of appeal from Municipal Court reversed the decision of the lower court in the cast of Rose C. Hayes vs. Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company and awarded a victory to the Company. It will be remembered that Mr. John H. Hayes died in the office of a local physician October, 1926. The policy he had with the Golden State Insurance Company was an accident policy instead of a whole life policy and did not provide benefits for any losses resulting from the disease which caused his death. The Company adhered to the provision of the contract involved and denied the claim of the beneficiary. The Claimant decided to test the right of the Company to take such action and brought suit in the Municipal Court. Through some misunderstanding judgment was given the Plaintiff. A review of the case by the Superior Court showed that the Company was justified in its action in denying the claim and as a result the decision of the lower court was reversed in favor of the Company. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeh represented the Company in the action and deserves commendation for the splendid service rendered. Gets Eight Years For $10 Theft NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec 14—George Clark has been sentenced to serve not less than eight years, nor more than fourteen at hard labor in the state penitentiary, after being found guilty of the assault and robbery. The loot did not exceed Ten Dollars. LOS ANGELES; CALIF., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1928 Millionaire Arnold Escapes Paying Claim To Calif. Eagle In department No. 20 of the Municipal Court, on last Friday, December 7th, presided over by Judge Pasker Wood Harold Arnold, reputed multi millionaire, was awarded a verdict by the decision of the court which absoled him from paying a contracted campaign bill to the extent of $153.50 which was the amount sued for by The California Eagle Publishing Company for services rendered in the printing of campaign literature in the last municipal Campaign. * The facts adduced at the trial of the case with a preponderance of evidence by the plaintiff was as follows: Mr. Arnold was very much interested in defeating Councilman Pierson Hall at said primary election and backed H. E. Binkley to turn the trick. Binkley had been having some printing done in a small way by the plaintiff. However, there came a time when he reported to Arnold and was told he get out instead of 4,000 circular letters, 20,000. Binkley told Arnold that he could not and would not attempt to place so large an order. Thereupon Arnold told Binkley that he would pay the bill (not stand for) but would assume the bill himself. Mr. Binkley then came to the office of The California Eagle and told the proprietors of the situation and said that Mr. Arnold wanted us to print and address the number sated above and that Arnold would pay for it. To confirm it Mr. Arnold was called up by the head man of the California Eagle Publishing Company and he directed him to proceed with the printing, deliver the same to his (Arnold's) office, and he would pay for it. It was printed the evidence showed and delivered, $75.00 was paid on account of the bill for $235.50 and the Eagle was compelled to sue for further consideration. The only evidence submitted by the defendant Arnold was his own testimony that he recommended Binkley as good pay. While Binkley and the Eagle proprietor testified as related above In the fact of this perfect and overwhelming evidence of the justice of the claim, Judge Parker Wood to the amazement of the plaintiff and all present including the defendant and his counsel as well, decided that Arnold need not pay and so rendered his decision. Of course it is not up to us to criticize or impugn the honorable judge's motives in the premises where this multimillionaire escapes in paying his obligation to one so lowly and humble as the toilers of the print shop, but is so exalted that they are immune from error we shall neither be satisfied nor content without our right of appeal to a higher court which we have instructed our attorney to do. Americans Sight-Seeing In South America BY: WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) We wish to suggest some things which we hope the "official guides" in South America will not fail to point out to the North Americans who are to visit them in the entourage of Mr. Hoover. They need not point out any of their skyscrapers, for they have none that can vie with the Woolworth Building, nor any of their banks, for they cannot compete with Wall Street, nor any of their criminals, for they have none to equal those of Chicago. Let them point out: That in South America men of any race and color can hold any office they are able to hold. That the absence of race discriminations in civil privileges have done no harm to anybody. That children in public schools, without color lines, do not grow up into enmity but to friendship. That lynching, which is one of the indispensable industries of Mississippi is found to be absolutely needles in Brazil, which has cities with larger Negro populations than any city of Mississippi. That Nordics, while they may be useful, are not a all necessary for the continued operation of the solar system. Appeal Women's Federated Clubs Appeal Women's Federated Clubs November 30, 1928 DEAR FRIENDS: Once more the Southern Section of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs requests your assistance in a cause that has been considered carefully and found to be a worthy one. You are therefore invited to attend a Mass Meeting a A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma streets, Sunday afternoon, December 16, 1928, at 3 o'clock, for the purpose of interesting the people in behalf of Carrie Larkins, an orphan girl, just 15 years of age, who wants, needs and merits a chance to be educated. Carrie is now at El Retiro, a Girl's Home in San Fernando. She is there not because of any misdemeanor on her part, but because the Welfare Division of the Court placed here there, due to her being an orphan and having no other available place to put her. She is very bright, smart and unusually intelligent and stands A-1 in class work at school. She is very artistic in drawing, painting and sewing, and possesses fine ability as a musician. She represents the highest type of young womanhood and is in every way deserving. Our object is to send her to the National Training School at Washington, D.C. of which school Miss Nannie Burroughs is Principal, where she can pursue her studies and be benefitted by the contact and environment which such an institution affords. WILL YOU HELP? At Sunday's Mass Meeting there will be rendered an inspiring program. Carrie Larkins will be present and contribute a number on that program. Any interested person may obtain direct information concerning this young woman by telephone Miss Helen Montegriff, Main 312, San Fernando. MRS. ELIZABETH EDWARDS. 3rd vice-president Committee: Mrs. Nette B. Reese; Mrs. E. A. Johnson; Mrs. Echo Staunton; Mrs. Alice Parker; Mrs. Lauretta Butler. Booker T. Washington Jr., Sued For Divorce Gossip which has existed for some time regarding the apparent estrangement of Booker T. Washington and his wife, came to be a reality when Mrs. Washington filed in the courts this week a complaint asking for a divorce. The charges in her complaint is incompatibility and failure for adequate provision for his family. There are two children whom Mrs. Washington asks custody of. Mr. Washington stated to the Eagle representative that he was at a loss to account for this step on the part of his wife, that he had done everything humanly possible to provide and maintain a happy home. He also stated that he had made everything over to his wife long since. Thus friends and acquaintances generally deplore the situation and trust the Washingtonts will see things in a different light and become reconciled. A vry interesting program will be rendered Sunday, December 16th, at the Los Angeles Forum, by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Pyramid Cooperative Association. Mrs. Gallerson is President. I tis hoped that a large number will avail themselves of this opportunity to witness a splendid program and to learn more of the Pyramid Organization. Beats free. 4:30 P. M. 12th and Central Ave. Among Ourroup BY: IVAN H. BROWNING Lieut. Littleton McDuff of Los Angeles, Calif., has been visiting in London seeing and having a delightful time in general. He and Miss Dora Newman, also of Los Angeles, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan H. Browning at the beautiful Chez Taglioni in Gerrard St. at which time they enjoyed the wonderful entertainment of the clever American team Greenlee and Drayton who are having tremendous success in the West End. The party was wonderfully received by the Manager Monselur Taglioni. Miss Dora (Bugdie) Newman who has lived in California a number of years sailed a few days ago for New York. Miss Newman spent eight weeks in Europe and had a wonderful time. She visited Rome, Switzerland, Belgium, France and England and while in London was the guest of Mrs. Maurine Browning in Longacre St. Miss Newman will remain in New York indefinitely. She was offered a lovely position in Paris at one of the big exclusive dress shops but unfortunately Miss Newman did not like Paris at all. However, she plans to return to London next Summer. Mr. Clinton C. Rosemond of Los Angeles, is quite busy these days since his recent marriage to the charming Miss Corrine Moore. Mr. Rosemond is Manager of the well known Royal Southern Trio, who are besides himself Mr. John C. Payne and Miss Mabel Mercer. They are touring the Fred Collins Music Halls in Scotland and Northern England. Many Los Angeles people will remember JOHN C. PAYNE, who came to Los Angeles a number of years ago to join the famous California Quartet, then composed of the Rev. J. T. Hill, S. S. R. S. Stewart, Mr. Payne and myself, those certainly were good old days. However, little did I think at that time that I would be living in Europe and London, and neither did Mr. Payne, but nevertheless it is happening and I must say that Mr. Payne is certainly one of the most popular fellows in London. I could go on writing page after page telling about this well known man and I want to say that there are few of our people who are few of our people who are enjoying life in the wonderful way in which Mr. Payne is doing. He has everything possible to make himself and his friends happy which he does at all times and I am sure this article from the London Daily Chronicle will be read with much pleasure by Mr. Payne's many, many friends in California and the West. I can only say that of his many parties, this one in honor of the celebrated Contralto Miss Marion Anderson, was indeed one of the finest I have ever attended. Mr Payne does things in a big way all the time and he never spares anything in making it pleasant for any of his American friends who visit London. Mr Payne was reared in Oakland and retains his home still at Seattle, Wash., where his Sister, Mrs. Anner Gardner lives. His many friends can well be proud of JOHNNIE as he is known by his old friends because he is indeed an outstanding figure in London and has worlds of friends. His beautiful box party at the Galeety Theatre a few nights ago where the famous DUNCAN SISTERS opened in their show 'attracted unusual attention and is referred to in the article about Paul Robeson. A visit to John C. Payne's lovely town home (London) is one of the real pleasures everyone enjoys, and he is a wonderful and most extraordi- nary host.

New officers were elected at the regular meeting of Garrison Lodge last evening and this great lodge faces the incoming year as a most potent factor for fraternal progress. Man Steps Into Path Of Moving Auto CORONERS JURY HOLDS PRICE MARTIN BLAMELESS FOR JAY-WALKERS DEATH Jes Hogan, well known among cooks and wajters of Los Angeles, met death early Tuesday Morning, Dec 4th, when he was struck by a machine driven by Price Martin, also of Los Angeles. The accident occured between 27th and 28th on Central Ave. It appears that the deceased, Jes Hogan, who it is alleged, was slightly inebriated, attempted to cross Central Avenue near the mouth of an alley in doing so, he stepped off the curb between two parked machines directly into the path of the car driven by Martin. Mr. Martin, did not have the slightest idea any one was between these parked cars until the deceased leerched out into the middle of the road. He did all in his power to stop or swerve the car to keep from hitting him. The accident was purely unavoidable. Both were colored and friends of each other. AND NOW we are on the sidewalks of New York. Our heart is sad, it is true, but we fully realize that ours is but a part of life's drama, and we go forward with head erect and hold safely locked up in memory's urn the grandeur and beauty of the life which has gone before us. LOOKING AROUND about us from New Jersey, New York to Rhode Island and casting our thoughts homeward amidst it all we cannot but feel grateful for the thought which is ours of the glories and opportunities of the Golden West. WALL STREET received its name from the fact that in pre-revolutionary times it had about it a low stone fence. The street is now more than ever appropriately named. This district was then well out into the fields and groves beyond the northern limits of New York; and Wall Street than today more truly a street of walls than ever. It is all walls, high dead stone walls going on every hand straight to the sky. YOU CAN NEVER tell even of the little things much less the larger ones which will come along and change the fortunes of a family. A PHILOSOPHER has said that in the old days families took up so much time making ends meet that they did not have the time to start a squabble about anything at all. IT HAS been well said that dieting is digging more graves today than ever were dug with the teeth. TO OWE MONEY is second only to stealing it, so it is said. THE FIRST essential for successfully studying any subject, is to get away from personal prejudice and personal opinions. ARE WE short on prosperity or is it economy that we lack? GIVE US SOME MORE MEN JUST LIKE THIS ONE WE CAN readily agree and form our own conclusion when the white folks say they cannot understand the attitude of our group toward one another and that prejudice of our own people toward one another is by far greater than that of the white people toward us. We confess the face of things shows this to be literally true. A case in point is the assault of one of our local race papers upon the head of the janitor's force at the Hall of Records. The paper flays him because he has promoted a very successful business. Shame on such attacks. The fact of the situation is the paper should commend him. If we just had a few more like him our people could gain all along the line in prestige and in the consideration of all people. We should think the attack will do more to keep the gentleman in his position than anything he could do for himself. We have been told also as a follow-up to this attack. A delegation waited on the supervisors along the same line. Shame on the delegation also. Give us men who are good and true, men with courage and ambition, give us more men who will of their means gained from official position who will strive to create.

Looking Through Carvey's Eye Unfortunately there seems to be quite a political coolness developing in the minds of some of the advocates of social and political equality, plus the co-operation of the Inter-Racial Committees in their efforts to promulgate their theory of an equal standing in the social and political life of the nation for the black man. Is it possible that those stately gentlemen are being persuaded to look at the other side of the question, as to the impossibility of the thing? Or rather, have they met tooth in mouth and rebelled themselves of the many unseen in their squandering of the masses finance in the ding of law suits and petitions as a result of constant protesting against continual injustices perpetrated against them?

HYDE ment, stenographer in the office of the Department of the Interior, and not in Texas or Mississippi, but right in Washington, D. C., at the nation's capitol? Much unlike the case of Perry Howard of Mississippi, where the question of social and political equality would share be debated upon; but could it be thought of as being an insult, to investigate or question into the situation at the nation's capitol? Seeingly the scales of intolerance are falling away, which therefore have been the cause of racial suicides and a great reaction of the mind has taken place in the minds of these noble gentry of Ethiopia's artistry that they have gained through the school of experience that causes them to know that in order to gain any objective for the benefit of their race as a whole, it must be done by and through the race for itself through one great brotherhood and not through the agencies or at the expense of any other race or group. Then too, they realize the fact that when the Constitution of this American commonwealth was draw up the Negro was not questioned as to his approval or disapproval of any particular Article, Section, or Amendment thereto, neither did he make up a part of that body. Having this done to suit their own environments that same body of men and their posterity down through the ages, set about to survey the great desert; hued down the huge mountains into level plains; engulfed the great lakes; erected these fine cities; at the end of which a bloody conflict resulted as to who should be the ruler of a house built by so many hands. Having held the Negroes in slavery through all this construction period, with promises to pay in some future date, which ended up in the signing of the Proclamation of Emancipation and called the debt square. Here is the cause of the continual demanding of "Social and Political Equality." The debt has been paid. Why, the very act in itself proves that a man only demands that which he hopes to get and not what he already has. P. S.-Mass Meeting every Sunday. 3 P. M. at Liberty Hall, 2707 S.

DuBois, editor, author, and scholar, was a lecturer at the summer school of Tuskegee Institute. The same year he published that classic "The Souls of Black Fok" in which he set forth some of his views of Tuskegee and Tusksgee's founder. Last week he spent Sunday and Monday here delivering a series of lectures on the Negro in the modern world. He walked about the campus inspecting the shops, the buildings and the farm. He visited the Veterans' Hospital. He met students and teachers; physicians and patients. And then he talked four times at the Institute and once at the hospital. He had his picture taken at the Washington Memorial with Dr. R. R. Moton. Sunday night he addressed the students, faculty and community in the Institute Chapel on "The Present Condition of Black Africa." He showed that the size and climate of the continent had more materially effected its history and present condition than the racial identity of the people. It would have been much the same had other people lived there, he said. "African" he stated, "is going to have a flowering of civilization and economic development and Negroes in America can lead it; but only after they have got rid of their slave psychology and have ascertained their manhood through political action and intelligence." European powers, Dr. Buffois said, are unduly suspicious of American Negroes. This fear is unwarranted until the Negro emancipates himself from attitudes inherited from slavery. At a banquet tended him, Dr. DuBois spoke briefly of the ideals and aims of the Pan-African Congress. FOLLOWS IN ANCESTOR'S FOOTSTEPS New Orleans, La., Dec. 5.--Michael A.

BETTER BUSINESS After looking over this modern production for the Epicurian Art and marvelling at its fixtures and super refridigare, its mammoth storerooms and in fact things we have heard of but never seen before, as a part and parcel of this wonder cafe, the reporter for the California Eagle asked Mr. Burns, senior partner of the firm.

We are not operating to thwart or hinder any other business but strictly to make more and better business, finished Mr. Burns.

CHICAGO CLUB ENTERTAINS One of the most ostentatious affairs held in the Hotel Somerville since its opening was the occasion of a seasonal banquet given by the Chicago Club on last Sunday night of which Mrs. Eva Burton of Pasadena enjoys the conspicuous distinction of being at the head of this organization which is doing much along all lines to relieve suffering humanity. The affair was most formal in its entirety, the women attired in most exquisite gowns while the men wore evening clothes throughout. A regular promenade was made through the beautiful corridors of the hostelry, while the dining room was in preparation for the bounteous repast. At the appointed time all were seated at the beautifully decordated table, with the color scheme carried out daintily and with the strains of syncopated music by the incomparable Somerville Orchestra all ate heartily to a most palatable dish of turkey with all its trimmings. During the concourse remarks were made by persons called upon by Mrs. Robinson who acted Mistress of Ceremonies many of whom spoke in glowing terms of the keeping in tact this wonderful club by its most amiable leader, Mrs Burton. Every effort was put forth by the hotel managers to make this affair a success and too much praise cannot be given them as the event was a brilliant success and all went away happy. This club on former occasions have had their social gatherings at private homes and on one occasion an immense banquet was held in a selected spot in the Brookside Park. They boast of a membership of 100 with many applications pending. CECIL BRUNNER'S GAY PARTY twelve girls gave a private party Thanksgiving Evening in Pasadena at the home of Miss Mary Jane Clark. The party consisted of fifteen couples. The jolly crowd left the home of Gladys Lewis at nine o'clock. Six autos were filled for a breezie ride; but of course being filled with turkey it did more good than harm. Arriving there about ten o'clock all became merry with music by Harold Foresight and chilled punch between dances. The crowd took their departure at the last hour of the night with expressions of an enjoyable evening and the clubs gratefulness toward Mr. and Mrs. Clark for their attention and kindness.

M. the pastor of the church, Elder P. G. Rodgers will preach on the subject of "Christmas"—its origin, what purposes it has been made to cover. Does the Bible commend or condemn it? Why has it always been the great drunken season of all the year? Was Christ born December 25th—and many other vital facts which so many have not bothered their minds to ascertain. It was the Christ that said "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free"—and if men today desire to be free from errors of all kinds, the grand old truth of GOD'S mighty word will give that freedom. Attend this service for a spiritual and intellectual feast. The public is always invited to every service, especially the Sabbath (Saturday) morning devotional hour at 11 A.M., which follows the Sabbath School which convenes at 9:30 A.M.

TUSKEGEE CONTINUES PROGRESS (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 5 — "Stepping into the shoes of a man of Booker T. Washington's calfine, is a task with which few men could successfully cope," said Bancroft Pierce, president of the Chicago Urban League, at the annual dinner of that organization held in the city club here last Monday night, "but Dr. Robert K. Moton has been so successful in carrying on the work of his great predecessor as head of Tuskegee Institute that many of us have scarcely realized the wonderful job he is doing in carrying that famous institution on to greater heights of achievement." Dr. Moton was the principal speaker of the evening, and from his happy address which ran a long gamut from a review of the work of the national Urban League, of which he is a Vice-President to racial prejudice which he dealt with incisively admitting that he and most Negroes, as well as whites, possessed it, some interesting figures on present day Tuskegee were gleaned. When Booker T. Washington died in 1915 the endowment of Tuskegee was two million dollars. Today it is nine million dollars. Despite the income from this enormous amount of money, Dr. Moton solicits each year $150,000 to complete the nearly half million dollars it costs to run the school yearly. This year there were 3,580 students enrolled and 1,300 were refused because of lack of room facilities to accommodate them. The curriculum has been advanced until college degrees are offered in agriculture, business, and teacher-training. The latter was necessary because of the increasingly improved standards demanded by southern CREOLE MARCEL COSME --Shoppe No. 1-- 1114 Central Ave. Phone: VA. 5301 --Shoppe No. 2-- 2221 Central Ave. Phone: HU. 7877 TREADING New and Used Tires S TIRE SERVICE VULCANIZING-RETREADING New and Used Tires FREEMAN'S TIRE SERVICE YOU ARE IN L.

This advance in the academic side, however, has not lessened vocational efforts but has improved them. "The imprint of Booker T. Washington is everywhere", said Dr. Moton. "The finest legacy he left us is the Spirit of Tuskegee. Nowhere is there a more beautiful spirit. 270 odd teachers and our large body of students exhibit a unity of purpose and show a co-operation in their efforts which is one of our greatest satisfactions." "DON'T CRITICISE HIS HOUSE" (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Dec. 5. —Johnnie Handy, musician, has been detained by the police awaiting the outcome of injuries received by Gray B. Amos, a white man, who is suffering from a fractured skull. According to witnesses Amos visited the soft drink parlor where Handy was engaged as a piano player, 1315 Gravier Street, and made depreciating remarks relative to the quality of music being turned out. Police claim that Handy struck Amos with a blunt instrument. Amos is in a local hospital in an unconscious condition.

C., Dec. 5.—In each of the states affected the Negro vote was a definite part of the political revolution which threw four southern states in the Republican column. In North Carolina there was unprecedented activity among Negro voters, men and women. Not since 1908 when the Wilmington riots threw consternation into the political leaders of the group here and made possible the grandfather clause to the North Carolina constitution have Negroes gone to the polls in such numbers. In Durham County there were between 1,500 and 2,000 voters registered. The work of the Colored Voters League, J. H. Johnson of Salisbury chairman, and McCants Andrews, secretary, urged qualifying which could be done by the simple process of paying a poll tax and registering. C. C. Spandling, J. M. Avery, J. E. Shepard, and other leaders worked quietly, but in Durham County neither the white Republican or Democratic organizations made any effort to register Negroes. It is estimated the most of Durham's rate went Republican. Greensboro had 1,000 colored Republicans on its roll books. The Democrats made a drive and added 2,000 more, white women being particularly active in this work. It is said Al Smith received the majority of the added 2,000. In Raleigh, 3,500 Negroes registered. An active Smith Club is said to have influenced one third of them. Winston-Salem was another center of activity. In most instances where Negroes voted for the Republican National ticket they are said to have favored Democrats for the local state office because of the higher calibre of the candidates and their distaste for the lily white Republicans. North Carolina's claushed a ten-year provision enacted in 1985. It restricted suffrage to those whose grandfathers had fought in previous wars or whose parents were entitled to vote. Its terms expired in 1995. In Virginia a strong Negro organization headed by Tiffany Toliver of Roanoke who worked under the direction of State chairman Aryell and Bassom Slemm reported great activity Florida and Texas likewise registered and voted numbers of Negroes although in Texas as in other southern states the regular Republican and Democratic organizations refused to encourage Negroes to exercise their franchise. NEW ORLEANS, La. Dec. 10 Holding on like grim death, Joseph Davis saved a can of salmon, when attacked by highwaymen Monday in an unlighted section of the town.

One man who has especially qualified himself as an expert in land products has come forth and offered his service along the line of truck gardening and hog raising with poultry as a side-line and this feauture is to be put into action for 1929. We opine the sooner the better and it is up to this people to close ranks and march forward in order to get the ball started for production. Store windows, now suggesting Christmas, are more than a gentle hint to make early purchases for the day of gifts, still several weeks in the future. Whatever the urge in that direction may be, store windows, Christmas dressed, are an appeal in themselves. "Window shopping," always an alluring occupation, never is quite as delightful as it is in the days when there is an atmosphere of expectancy, the spirit of cheeriness and the glow of benevolence that somehow work their marvels at this season of the year. No matter how matter-of-fact we may be 11 months of the year we all become more or less sentimental with the approach of December, and the gay windows, the rich windows, even the plainly dressed windows, bravo or sedate in their Christmas attire. sing to us a siren's lyric that is a challenge to pass them unheeded. And who gets the most fun from window shopping, the juveniles or the elders? Silly question! The more nature, of course. Even those windows dressed especially to appeal to the children are so crowded with adults at times that a poor youngster has little chance of seeing what therein is. Those, of course, are the more shameless—glorying in their shame. Others who envy them their brazonous pick up a youngster some place, and push to the front, thinking, like a man who takes a kiddie to a circus he wants to see himself, that he has acquired merit. What foolishness! How much more honest he would be if one such would just acknowledge to himself that he hungers to see the window show and to justify himself with the reflection that there will be plenty of time for children to see such spectacles after they grow up. Yes, we oldsters have not too many Christmas fetes ahead of us, so we hasten to take advantage of what opportunities we have. What is the impelling motive? Memory, the treasury of all that is hallowed and dear and cherished. We will see Alice again—Alice from Wonderland. If the display is nothing but leather goods, Alice will be there amidst the wares and her message will be of "shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings." Kings of fairyland and nowhereland and everywhereland. Kings of the wintry day and glowing coals and the bulging stocking on the mantel. Kings among whom you were a monarch when you glanced through the panes of another window on a Christmas morning and saw in the frosted snow more gems than any living king ever possessed. How they glistened and sparkled, sending their rays heavenward, far into the realm of romance and anticipation. Whether by instinct, promotion, tragic experience or perennial anticipation one is always forewarned of the approach of Christmas, and, though the exact number of days remaining may not come instantly to mind, there is none who does not know that it is less than a month in the offing as the time flies. There is evidence that those for whom Christmas is an expense see the gift-giving holiday from afar off for a different reason than do those for whom it is a treat. Nevertheless one trip alone or with the faithful neophytes of the Santa Claus cult makes a philanthropist of a miser. Especially is this latter so of this Christmas shopping season. If there is one place where there is always something new under the sun it is in Santa Claus' toy shop at this time of year. Many of the 1928 creations of Old Kris Kringle are decidedly new. Picture the thrills the youngsters will derive from airplanes that really fly, submarines that actually cruise under water, parachute jumpers, miniature Leviathans driven through the water by twin screws, refrigerators that hold real ice, stoves that cook, Charlestoning dolls and automobiles more fully equipped than dad's. There is cause for rejoicing among the nationally-conscious in the department of commerce figures showing that more Made-in-America and fewer foreign made toys are on the American toy market this year. What the football season, which Thanksgiving Day officially closed, lacks in length it makes up in intensity of enthusiasm. For the two months it is in progress it weekly raises to fever heat the interest of the nation, which, though divided among several thousand collegiate, scholastic and professional teams, is comparable with that attracted by the world series of baseball. This gridiron season smashed more attendance records, though those who deplore the commercialization of the great collegiate and scholastic sport have predicted yearly the diminution of public interest because of it. The public only "found" football since the war and apparently still finds it too much to its liking to withdraw its support, at lease until it has financed a few more stadiums and bowls. Football produced no "Red" Grange this year. The professional game which Grange brought into the limelight last year was not considerably strengthened this season. "Walking distance" is another term once frequently encountered which has become obsolete. The less of it they have, the more people seem obsessed with the inclination to speak their mind. Almost every great military invention bears the name of its inventor except the flat top desk. Which are smarter, girls or boys? Well, which are more successful at dodging work through life? Man's three ages: Hates work; works cheerfully as a matter of duty; wishes he could work. Page----Six EDITORIAL EDITORIAL PRODUCTION WINDOW SHOPPING No wonder we like window shopping. THE MAGIC OF SANTA NEW FOOTBALL RECORDS COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON [EDITOR'S NOTE: In our last issue, our make-up man inadvertedly got a humorous line from some other article placed at the end of this column written by Mr. Wheaton and which line was wholly foreign to Mr. Wheaton's Comments, which naturally appeared ridiculous. Therefore in fairness to Mr. Wheaton, as well as to ourselves, we make apology for the error on the part of those connected therewith.] President Calvin Coolidge sent his message to the short session, or "Lame Duck" Congress. It was a regular Coolidge message, conservative to the "steenth" degree. Interested, as we are, in all of the problems of government: Realizing, as we do, that every woof in the weave of the government is affected by its prosperity or poverty: we enter heartily into every measure which tends to enhance the happiness of the people. But it seems as though the Negro is bound to be the cause of some special mention, and this is what the President had to say about him— "The Negro Problem "For sixty-five years now our Negro population has been under the peculiar care and solicitude of the national government. The progress which they have made in education and the professions, in wealth and in the arts of civilization, affords one of the most remarkable incidents in this period of world history. "They have demonstrated their ability to partake of the advantages of our institutions and to benefit by a free and more independent existence. Whatever doubt there may have been of their capacity to assume the status granted to them by the Constitution of this Union is being rapidly dissipated. Their co-operation in the life of the nation is constantly enlarging. "Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends is being abandoned and their protection is being increased by those states in which their percentage of populations is largest. Every encouragement should be extended for the development of the race. The colored people have been the victims of the crime of lynching, which has in late years somewhat decreased. Some parts of the South already have whoelsome laws for its restraint and punishment. Their example might well be followed by other states, and by such immediate remedial legislation as the federal government can extend under the Constitution." Those are fine sentiments, and, we believe that they were uttered with sincerity. But it seems rediculous: a traversy on our system of government, that any one group of its nationals would need be selected as objects for a special appeal for fairplay. We take heart when we read that "Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends is being abandoned." That is the one gleam in the sky—otherwise leaden—which gives us hope. It has always been our contention that as soon as designing men ceased to make the difficulties of our citizenship a matter of politics those difficulties would be minimized. It would be well for some of our professional Race leaders, who have been exploiting the Race at the expense of its welfare, to try the other trail and see if the advocacy and encouragement of something constructive would not be of more benefit than the everlasting harping of the wrongs done. It would be a very good idea to drop the self-centered attitude which has been assumed and enter more fully into the things which make for human betterment. Thomas Nast was a famous cartoonist and his cartoons always carried a meaning. One, we remember, depicted an Irishman seated alone on an isolated island, self-centered in his own woes, while all about him were evidences of poverty, famine and death. The caption was something like this: "Take more interest in the things about you, perhaps yours won't seem so great." "Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds; You can't do that when you're flying words. Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead; But God himself can't kill them when they're said." We were the unwilling witness of a little episode that led up to incidents which brought those homely words of Will Carleton to memory. Two girls: they were class friends, from early childhood, through their school years to their debut socially. But there came the evil day: a secret which had been kept from one of them came to the knowledge of the other. A slight misunderstanding between them. A mere trifle about being punctual in keeping an unimportant appointment. A retort: the secret which had so carefully been kept from one was hurled tauntingly. It struck like a thunderbolt and seared like lightning. She was stunned; and swooned. Instantly there was remorse. Such as we never hope to witness again. Yes: there was forgiveness. Vows of eternal friendship were made, and never would they believe that story. It sounded like slander. They left, arm in arm and we breathed a sigh of relief to know that our presence was not known. We could not help but repeat; "Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead; But God himself can't kill them, when they're said." But God himself can't kill them when they re said. Their's may be a beautiful friendship throughout their lives but that word that was uttered will always rancor. If left a wound that will never heal. Theodore Roosevelt once said that, "aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords." If ever there was a man who got a thrill out of a good fight, for the right, it was Theodore Roosevelt. And with it all, he was a thorough sportsman. There was never a hint of paternalism in his fight for fairplay. Give every man, woman and child under the folds of the American flag an equal opportunity! was his slogan. He did not want to see any people proscribed against. Color, race, creed, none of those should be obstacles in the path of any aspirant. He will always be revered by those who seek only a clear path. A path devoid of all obstacles save those which ability can overcome. As a lover of humanity, there was no greater than FREDERICK DOUGLASS. A few days before his death a few friends journeyed to Anacostia as was their wont. It was the mecca for all who loved humanity. The "Grand Old Man" was discussing the invitation that the women of the National Temperance Union, then in session, had given him to address them at one of their sessions. "It used to be that I could see no woes but those of my people. Their's were the only cries I could hear in the wilderness. Now, a Divine sight has shown me that if men are to be of any service in the world they must remember that humanity is broad; it covers the earth: If God EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened knows no individual people, then, to serve well, we must serve humanity." He accepted that invitation: his address was a masterpiece. It was his last appeal for the love of humanity. He died that evening. Had he lived a while longer, there is every reason to believe that Booker T. Washington would have broadened out. That is, broadened the circle from Tuskegee. The development of the Institute was his uppermost thought. The ambition of his life was to inaugurate some plan whereby the people of his race could be taught the fundamentals of productiveness. In order to do this he was compelled to circumcribe his efforts to that particular people. As Tuskegee Institute began to function, and he began to see the fruition of his ideals; his thoughts began to wander in the broader field of World Humanity. In his last appearance on the Pacific Coast, at Portland, Oregon, and in a speech before the students of the College at Eugene, he gave evidence of that broader grasp, which all big minds attain, that in order to serve well there must be the common touch. * * * * * The fight for the Boulder Dam measure is full head on in the Senate. Senator Hiram Johnson and his colleagues are showing a solid front to the Power Trust. There are a few weak spots in the senatorial lineup. Senator Reed Smoot, Utah, and Hayden, Arizona, are trying to befuddle the waters, but they are met on every hand by California's senior senator with arguments which are very disquieting to the opponents of the measure. Senator Smoot's argument that the Dam project is not feasible was shown by Senator Johnson to be fallacious. Hayden's contention is on the allocation of water acreage, but during the debate if was brought out that Arizona insists on a private generating plant in private hands. There is seen the fine hand of the $17,000,000,000 Power trust lobby. The American Federation of Labor meeting in New Orleans, declares, unanimous, for exclusion of all aliens. If written into law the Box Bill will put Canada and Mexico on a quota basis. The great surprise is, the demand for the exclusion of all aliens from the Western Hemisphere. It cannot be recalled that ever before has Union Labor demand exclusion of European people. The extensive use of labor saving machines, which have added an increase in production, has caused great concern in labor circles. Speaking of non-employment: Labor seems to take kindly to the Hoover suggestion of the three billion fund to meet any labor slump by a public building program. * * * * * Congressman Victor Berger, Wisconsin, has introduced a bill at this session that would authorize the President, if necessary, to use the Army, Navy and Militia to suppress the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. The bill would provide a Federal offense for any two or more citizens in disguise to go upon the public highway or to conspire for the purpose of intimidating others in the free exercise of their rights." Punishment would be a $5,000 fine or ten years imprisonment, or both. Berger, at the former session, introduced an anti-lynching bill. It is hardly possible that it will see the light President elect. Hoover, in his speech of acceptance advocated the repeal of the national origin provision of the immigration act. Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, is opposed to the repeal. There was a little clash between Reed and Harrison. Mississippi. Senator Harrison predicted a proposal from the new administration for the repeal of the origin provision. Senator from Mississippi what he knew of the President-elect's wishes: "I know more about him than you do, that's why I voted against him," replied Harrison. The telephone companies of the Pacific coast are making a strong fight for an increase in rates. The request is being fought by the municipalities of the Bay Cities. $16,000,000 have been deducted from the valuation assets claimed by the telephone companies. The assessed valuation has much to do with the establishments of rates. The grasp of monopoly has grown without stint during the past few years, and with it have developed a spirit of arrogance and defiance to the wishes of the public. As will be noted, the attitude assumed by the Pacific Gas and Electric and the Great Western Power in their refusal to furnish power to municipalities that plan to erect their own, or publicly owned, plants. Government control of big corporations is necessary to the curb of greed. A boy, twelve years of age, paid his father fifty-five dollars for a yearling steer. That was one year past. The other day, at the biggest stock show of the country, that steer won the Grand National prize. It subsequently sold on the hoof for $7.00 per pound and netted the young stockman the neat sum of better than $8,000. The raising of prize stock, or anything worthwhile, knows neither race, creed or color. The industrial and economic barriers are the highest and most obstructive, the Negro has to contend. Break them down and the rest is reduced to the minimum. The reduction of these barriers will come only through the avenue of PRODUCTION. The spiritual side will not suffer because you strive to fill your niche in the material world. There is independence in the fertile field, under the open sky: there is a uence in the blending of intelligence and the productivity of nature. Try it. Excessive pride is as hurtful as an excess of humility. Too much pride breeds, conceit and vanity. Those two lead to an abrupt fall. The accomplishments of the Race during the few decades past should be used only as an incentive to bigger achievements. We often think that the Race is flattered too much on what progress it has made, and that is one of the reasons why progress has not been as far as it should. "Look what we have done since slavery," shout the orator. Then there is a backward glance and fraternal societies and churches loom up as great achievements, and there is a feeling of complacency. Fraternalism nor religion is going to solve the question alone. They can be used as a basis, but the true emancipation from the thraldo mof racial oppression will come only with competition in the economic field of production. Why is it that when a man or woman of the Race shows a talent for anything above the ordinary, that their services are supposed to be gratuitous? The person may have expended time and money, at a sacrifice, to try to perfect themselves in whatever undertaking; yet, although when the same service is asked from others they are remunerated, the Race man or woman is supposed to donate the same. It is not fair to the young man or woman who has developed talent in any way to ask that they do it for nothing. Without recompense: At the least, it is discouraging to the development of talent. Friday. December 14,1928 Dec. 14, 1928. To The Editor, The California Eagle Hot tailpins; Chief JJustice greet that police officers give prisoners, in order to get a confession. Now, that should sound good especially to those who are about Wm. H. Waste opposes the 3rd debe initiated into the ROYAL ORDER OF BOOTLEGGRINS. And I'll be a fishs grund-uncle if the Rev. Dyer isn't actually trying to stage a "DEMPSEY COMEBACK." Maybe the Rev. is all set to deal a knock-out to some of his friends that gave him the AIR. Unable to place the blame for the sinking of the Vestris where it rightly belonged, officers of the ship tried to fasten the fault on the few Negro seamen that were aboard her, notwithstanding the fact that the Negroes were broken out with HEROISM AND VALOR. These officers undoubtedly must be kin to that infamous Senator—Chas Heffin. Ray Cottle, who has goeen service on our police department for the past 40 years says that the flapper of today is by far worse than grandma. Well, I'll help him to say she is, and why not? Grandma chewed her own tobacco, and filled her own pipe, but daughter, oh boy, she sheils PA' for his, and gets money from brother to buy some more, in fact she puts over quite a few fast ones that are not mentioned. Calvin Coolidge warned Congress not to spend more of (MY) I mean the country's money, unless they raised taxes in some quarter to meet the demand, CAL, certainly intends for the treasury department not to go broke before Hoover steps in. He also hit a passing blow at the LYNCHING bill. But that is all any of them ever do so what does it matter? I'll bet Gordon Northcott is the best guarded person in this city. Well, he needs to be as L. A. Co's Dist. Atty, says tha he is not clamoring to prosecute him. That's too much like work for a new man and Mr. Ford of Riverside doesn't give a snap whether his County gets Northcott or not, so it looks as if Northcott is up against it for a trial. See where the Bancitaly corporation is to consolidate with the Bankitaly corporation of New York which means a $500,000,000 merger. I hope my rich uncle who died in the poor house didn't forget to get his money, because I just know those wo companies are going broke when they merge. I often hear people say that Negroes will never be like their WHITE BROTHERS. But they only have to look at the grafter Chicago is producing, and all of them members of our race too, but we learned it all from our FRIEND AND (TLTURED BROTHER—white neighbor. Senator disease is up to his old tricks again of spreading that germ that southerners of his type never get tired of spreading and wants his ideas carried out right in Washington, D. C. right under the capitol's dome. That baby has enough nerve to face a Mexican bull empty-handed. See where Josephine Baker nearly broke 'MONTE CARLO'. Look out Joe, don' do that, France will be asking 'Uncle Sam' for another loa, and you know that that will hurt me. If according to Miss Mary Anderson Chief of women's bureau, that in 1820 one out of eleven married women worked, and that in 1850 one out twenty-two I'd hate to be here in he year "2001."

SHELL OIL SATURDAY NEXT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL TELL THE TALE Stellar playing by all the members-of that great organization, the Cleveland Giants, brought them last Saturday and Sunday's win over the White Kings and tied them with their dangerous rivals, the Shell Oil Giants. Everybody seemed at their best in the Giant line-up, and Brewer, the young sensation, received good support in his great work on the pitcher's mound. At that he seemed really trying to win his own game for he not only struck out six men, but assisted in putting out three others, by fast work to first. To top it off he ran from his mound over to the White King's dub-out to catch a pop fly of Brazill's, getting a big hand for his efforts. Though not in any great danger, the line-up was changed by pulling Beckwith from catcher, substituting Mackey, placing Rogan on first. Green in right field and Mothell on third. After that victory was sure for the Clevelanders.

When Stearns dropped Vache's long fly in center Kingdon brought the fans on a sensational twist to arun for the plate. Brewer, who pitched for the victors, also featured with a catch of Brazil's pop fly. Cox proved the hitting star for the losers, getting three bingles on five trips to the plate.

There are a plenty of real movie troupers among the colored screen gentry. In George Reed, they will find one who is ever their true friend. The selection of George Reed was not a "snapped up" affair. His ability and other characteristics have been carefully checked. Mr. Sloan, the director of "Hearts in Dixie," seems, since the change had to come, well satisfied with Reed. For that we are glad. Complete satisfaction or accord must be had all around in order for the picture to be a success. We do not profess to know the real reason why Chas, Glipin was let out. He came here with a reputation for his dramatic speech, not enjoyed by many. His acting ability was unquestioned. Yet, he is out! How come? This picture is a 100% talkie. Glipin's voice is perfect. What could have happened? Was it money matters? He was reputed to have signed a contract for $1200.00 a week! Was that too much? He is also regarded as a heavy drinker.

The picture starring Victor McLaglen and Leatrice Joy, has admirable support in J. Farrel McDonald and Slim Sommerville. The story revolves around a mailroad baggage room and station. Consequently many of the boys were employed as Red Caps and Pullman Porters. One of the novel sights to be seen in this picture will be the Pullman Porters' Band. Tight top. Lafayette Players Appearing in "Bought and Paid For" Tonight "Bought And Paid For," one of the most successful and entertaining comedy dramas ever written, opens at the Lincoln Theater tonight with the famous Lafayette Players again demonstrating their dramatic talents. This popular George Broadhurst play presents and entertainingly discusses a problem that is "ages old" but that never fails to hold the attention with the sheer force of its mighty truthfulness. Can love and happiness be "bought and paid for," just as one would purchase a gown or hat? Virginia Bhine hewitching and pretty telephone operator (played by Evelyn Preer) marries the millionaire financier, Robert Stafford, and finds herself confronted with this question in "Bought and Paid For." Stafford's continued drinking and almost brutal treatment causes her to plead with him and request that he treat her with the respect her position in his household deserves. Stafford's reply is that she belongs to him by right of his having purchased her! At this Virginia leaves her husband's beautiful home and all the finery his gold has bought her, and goes back to work in a department store, moving to the home of her sister, Danny. Does Stafford finally come to the realization that although gold has the power to purchase innumerable treasures throughout the world, it is useless—where love is concerned! Come and see this problem effectively art THE BLACK THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART Jimmy Black, "Ed" Duvall's fast stepping little featherweight goes to the post at the Olympie on the 19th inst. for his first big shot. Black jakes on "Red" Humphrips in the semi-windup. This will be Jimmy's first wind-up bout at the big club and its his chance to make good. He has fought two special events at Doyle's place of biz and has gone over big. The last time the little "Berdo" scraper fought there Al Jolson, who was at the ringside named him "Sonny Boy" Black, and Dan Tobey let the world know over the "mike" as K. F. L. was broadcasting. Sonny Boy has been sick with the Flu, but he says he will be in first class shape for the 18th, and will take Red like a hot minute. Black has one of the best records on the books.' He has lost only two battles in the last two years, one to Frankie Aragon a southpaw. (South Paws are Jimmy's weakness.) And a close set-to with Goldle Huss of Ocean Park. Prettynice slate. "What say!" --- Chalk Wright, another one of "Ed's" boys gets his first special event at "San Berdo" Thursday night on the "Baby" Sal Sarin, Ken Wallace card. Chalky started fighting about eight months ago and has made rapid progress in the fictive game, and has lost only one bout in that space of time. Wright is matched with Louie Contreras the little Mex that gave "Speedy" Dado two great battles at the Olympic. Contreras is a game two-fisted little fighter and fights from, gong to, gong, if Chalky gets over Louie he will deserve plenty credit, because Contreras is a veteran in the game compared to Duval's boy. Although Contreras has the edge many fans think that the little dusky boy will give Louie a surprise. Don't miss Alpha Kappa. Alpha's Annual Society Circus Scholarship Dance, Dec. 14.

N. P.) Washington, D.C., Dec. 4.—The annual report of Freedmen's Hospital which came into being during the Civil War to take care of refugees, and has since been maintained by the Federal Government, shows that it treated 29,000 cases during the year, about 4,000 of which were patients at the hospital. The number of paying patients admitted to the hospital for the year, including births, amounted to 1,000, one-fourth of the total admissions. There were performed 2,361 surgical operations, the majority being of a major nature. Thee were 27,334 revisits to the several clinics in the dispensary, and 3,002 emergency cases received for treatment. THE NEW YORK TIMES Among the most pressing needs of the hospital, the report states, is an obstetrical ward. With the present facilities this important function is greatly restricted. Neither sufficient space nor the necessary equipment exists to operate this department in keeping with the requirements of the highest grade and most advance scientific service. Last year 390 births occurred in the hospital, a sufficient number to more than justify the expense of an up-to-date maternity ward. Equally urgent as an obstetrical ward is a supply of radium. The hospital is entirely without radium, and has depended upon the generosity of another hospital in supplying radium for some of its most urgent cases. It is a safe estimate that at least three hand-red treatments would be given annually with beneficial results if the hospital possessed this valuable agent. Motorcycle Delivery Day or Night.

TRY WATSON'S ORIGINAL 25c LUNCH For Reservations call ME-4142 — No Cover Charge If You Fall To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw Since the War, the movement of workers' education has assumed national scope and significance. The basis of this movement is the desire to place at the disposal of workers deprived of educational advantages in the schools and colleges by virtue of the necessity of their working continuously for a living; knowledge and information about the industrial world in which they work for wages in order to exist. The workers of the nation have come to feel that the education given out in the schools and colleges does not touch their fundamental and vital problems in the main. They feel that these institutions express the culture and the philosophy of the employing class, which opposes the wage-earners forming their own organization, says President and General Organizer, Randolph. Since the War, many institutions committed and devoted to the program of workers' education have grown up in different parts of the country. The Negro workers have practically been untouched by this movement. Still they, more than any other group, need to know something about the source of economic power and the means with which it will be possible to remedy their economic ills. Therefore, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, plans the organization of the Aframerican Labor Institute, which shall give courses in the history of the struggle for economic social and political freedom of the workers of the world. The rise of labor organizations and the analysis and history of the Trade Union movement of America and the world; courses on the movement and history of wages and the fight to shorten the work day. A course in Anthropology or the study of history and development of races, will also be given. Some of the professors of Columbia University, New York, will be secured to give courses in Economics and Labor problems and also in Anthropology. Noted Negro Scholars will also be secured to give lectures on the problems of race. Labor union leaders will be brought to the institute to tell the story of the struggle and victories and defeats of their own organizations. The institute will be located at 233 West 136th Street, New York. There will also be a branch in Chicago, under the supervision of M. P. Webster. President and organizer of the Chicago Division: there, professors will be secured from the University of Chicago to give the same type of courses which are given in New York. Special courses in Anthropology on the history and achievement of the race will be given in order that the Negro workers may know something of the contributions of black men to world civilizations. "SKY TRAINS" DEBIGNED Anthony Fokker, who has built 11,000 airplanes since 1911 has designed a giant thirty-two passenger monoplane, which will be put into operation on a thirty-six hour transcontinental flying schedule between New York and The Pacific Coast, the planes will have a high speed of 14 miles an hour and will climb 1400 feet from the ground in the first minute an dmaintain a maximum altitude of 18,000 feet, the cabin will be arranged in four compartments, four Pullman type perths, each forty-two inches wide. The "Flying Pullmans" will be used for night flying over two sertions of the transcontinental route. SANTA FE TAKES ORIENT SURVEY Representatives of the Atchinson Topeka and Santa Fe Railway are making surveys of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway to determine the feasibility of extending it to the west coast of Mexico. If this step is taken it will create a route to the Pacific 400 miles shorter than any other from points to the Southwest. The Santa Fe recently purchased the Orient line, which has had a checkered history since it was first projected about twenty years ago. Extension of the Orient to the Pacific by the Santa Fe would therefore bring true the hopes on which investors based their commitments in the Orient, years ago and which have since appeared impossible or failful. The survey that is now in progress is to determine the amount of potential business would justify bridging these lines. Train Safety, Plans Changed The Interstate Commerce Commission has decided to refrain from compelling railroads to make further installation of automatic train-control devices or of block signals. An investigation into the present status of automatic signals and devices, caused the commission to consider that safety of railroads can better be promoted by elimination of grade crossings the betterment of bridges and the replacement of wood en passenger cars. Three years ago the commission, over the protest of a large number of railroads, ordered very extensive installations on all first class roads of train control devices intended to halt a train automatically when a stop signal is obleregarded. HERE AND THERE Representives of various railway carriers urged the hous Interstate Commerce Committee Tuesday in Washington D. C. to revise the pending Parker railroad consolidation bill to permit the purchase by one railroad of porperty and small amounts of stock in another road, the contention being that the activities of railroads in many directions would be greatly hampered and they would be prohibited from obtaining from another road even the right to build a spur track over the property of another carrier. A campaign in 1929 to make every laborer a member of a trade Union was approve dby the American Federation of Labor at their annual convention heft recently in New Orleans. This movement will mean much to our group in the South where we have huge factories, thousands of spindles and immense tobacco plants where imposition is placed heavily on them. Thomas Bell, retired train porter of The Texas and Pacific, who purchased a three flat building at 5017 Indiana Avenue Chicago, ill. is one of the few who made good use of a bonus check received some years ago, without education he coupled tact and economy together and last year paid the final note on that property. After years of waiting, holders of Missouri Pacific Railway preferred stock will receive a dividend in the near future. The new "Perry Cut-off" between Chicago and Tampa Flat, was opened Tuesday for the first train to pass over, this reduces travelling time between Chicago and Tampa by eight hours. Randolph Debois, who hold the world's championship for cooking who is registered at the Vincemens Hotel in Chicago this week, has just emerged from an 18 hour test in which he was acclaimed victor and winner of $1,000.00 and a silver sup, his exhibit being a miniature of the airplane Los Angeles, made of fried potatoes. Keystone Aircraft Company have contracted with the Wright Aeronautical Corporation for the building of a giant twenty passenger biplane to be used as a flying office, library and lounge by officers of the company. Edward J. Pearson, recently retired President of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad passed away last Friday in Baltimore. The B. and O. orders $8,800 tons of rails for early 1929 delivery. Of the $10,750,000 to be spent by the Missouri Pacific, included in the order will be to passenger cars. Class 1 railroads of the United States will show a total operating expense of $4,417,000,000 for the year. BROTHERHOOD NOTES The recent elections of the Employee Representation Plan revealed its utter and complete moral bankruptcy. Thousands of porters flatly refused to vote in elections. Porters that did vote voted against their will under coercion and intimidation. Brotherhood's withering and relentless exposure of the fraudulent elections forced superintendent after superintendent to come out and admit that porters were not compelled to vote for the plan, of course intimidations, were despite these professions, being practised on the men. The conducting of the plan elections flagrantly and nakedly violated every principal of fair play. Porters. Instructors and welfare workers hounded and harassed porters by meeting the trains demanding that they vote for the plan, 'this procedure was a flat violation of all law and would not stand up in any court of law.

Trojan 1929 Team to be Still Greater, Ritchey To Be In Line-up Los Angeles, Dec. 17.—With their team ending a brilliant season at the top of the Pacific Coast Conference standings, University of Southern California football followers are already looking forward to next year and wondering if Coach Howard Jones, the "Miracle Man of Troy," can continue his remarkable success after losing five regulars and three leading subs of the 1928 squad. At least three of the five who have played their last football for the Trojans, Don Williams, quarter; Lloyd Thomas, right half; and Captain Jesse Hibbs, left tackle, and All-American, and All-American material, and are now landing on various mythical teams now being selected by gridiron experia.
