Dec. 29—The second step to secure full rights of citizenship for Negroes in the State of Arkansas was taken Wednesday, when Negro Democratic leaders of Little Rock launched a movement to restrain Democratic Party Officials from barring Negroes in any primary in Arkansas. The colored members of the Democratic Party, through the efforts of their attorneys, Booker and Booker, obtained a temporary order on November 27, enabling Negroes who could qualify as Democrats to vote in the recent city primary. Permission had been given them by Chancery Court, where the litigation is pending, to include E. L. Compere, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and H. L. Lambert, secretary, according to the amendment filed Wednesday. With the leaders of the state committee as defendants, the suit is expected to establish definitely the status of Negroes who have allied themselves with the Democratic Party, Booker and Booker, attorneys, have expressed the opinion that the case will terminate in a victory for Negro citizens and point out that the voting of Negroes in the recent primary resulted in none of the dire calamities so frequently predicted by those desiring to prevent Negroes from exercising the franchise. Treasurer Squanders Funds; Janitor Loses His Home Treasurer Squanders Funds; Janitor Loses His Home (By: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Dec. 31.—Albert Vandyke, janitor of the Broadway Baptist Tabernacle Church (white), will lose his home as the results of certain financial manipulations by the treasurer of the church, a former judge, who is accused of misappropriating over $40,000 of the building fund. The treasurer is blind, yet he is alleged to have squandered over $200,000 from the church and his friends. Paul M. Nash, attorney-at-law, hereby expresses his appreciation and gratitude for the splendid support given him by friends, ministers, business men and women, organizations and financial institutions and. The California Eagle and its editor during his recent drive for appointment to one of the positions on the Municipal Court bench in Los Angeles. Although Mr. Nash did not receive one of the appointments he believes, however, that the efforts put forth in relation to same have not been in vain; on the contrary, he believes that our cause for recognition toward securing representative positions has been much stimulated and considerably strengthened. The solidarity of the colored people in this drive was quite apparent, very encouraging and if consistently developed will mean much toward the opening of new fields of activity and usefulness for those of us who are prepared to take advantage of the opportunities when they come. CITY TO HELP PAY FOR PROJECTS With definite allocations made to a score of major traffic projects, the city council has cleared the way for the financing of these important improvements. The allocations, totaling $6,585,000, will be used to reduce the cost to property owners, representing the city, shae of their cost. Among the projects to be benefited are: First Street, Arroyo Seco Drive, Huntington Drive, Soto Street, Santa Fe Avenue, Normandie Avenue, East Road through Cahuenga Pass, LaBrae Avenue, Vine Street, Glenwood Boulevard, Trolleyway (Venice), Pacific Avenue (San Pedro), Shausson Avenue, Maple Avenue, Highland Avenue, Hoover Street, North Figueroa extension, Romona Boulevard and Riverside Drive. It was noted that with the exception of First Street and Maple Avenue, all of the projects to receive city aid are in the outlying districts, and that the outlying sections will be most benefited. The improvements are so distributed that there is no general section of the city that will not be directly benefited by at least one of these projects. W. L. Brent, president of the Traffic Commission, pointed out that it will take considerable time to carry these improvements through completion, and that it will probably be several years before property owners are called upon to pay any of the cost. In some cases, the city will pay the entire cost of acquiring land for a project.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1929 MEXICAN LABOR ELIMINATOR (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Dec. 20—Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Immigration, and Congressman Albert Johnson, Chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, are to be warmly congratulated upon accepting the recommendation of U.S. Labor Secretary, James J. Davis, to place Mexico upon the quota list and thereby subject its prospective immigrants to the same rigid but reasonable rules as apply to the immigrants coming from continental Europe and other foreign countries. Ever since the early days of the Hartling Administration. Secretary Davis has been endeavoring to impress both houses of Congress with the necessity of putting a stop to the wide open practices of immigration by which thousands upon thousands of swarthy Mexicans low in their standards of living and waste their to a startling degree, have been steadily crossing the border into America, where, in the greedy grasp of a few unscrupulous American emplowers, they have displaced from jobs both white and black natives of the U. S. A. Negroes have suffered especially from the underbidding activities of Mexican labor, which has forced them time and time again out of their work on the railroads, in the mills, and in the agricultural fields. Unwarranted Negro unemployment in the dense industrial districts of the middle and far west, and as far east as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, has been constant proof during the past years of the Mexican menace in industry and the crying need for quota regulations applicable to Mexico. But now comes the latest and most bitter insult of all; for alas, after watching its labor seep over the U.S. border year in and year out and swell the unemployment lines of American labor, Mexico culminates her disrespect for the U.S.A by promulgating an order which restricts ALL PERSONS OF THE NEGRO RACE from immigrating into Mexico. The order blandly states that "persons of the Negro race are only to be granted permits for temporary entry," and that such visits must not be for more than twenty-four hours' duration. Isn't this the personification of irony? Mexicans displace Negroes in employment in the United States, and their home government in Mexico City bars Negroes from entering Mexico. The Republican Chairmen of the Senate and House Committee on Immigration can be counted upon for awakening the reason of Congress to resent the Mexican order by erecting quota gates through which every Mexican who seeks to enter the United States will thereafter have to pass. And in the meantime, we have been taught to see more clearly than ever before what the Labor Secretary has been fighting for these past eight years; and wasn't it a blessing that at last the country is realizing the full value of his far-seeing efforts? We think it is.

Operating the two (2) Dining Rooms under the same Management, assuring Service, Courtesy and Quality. Becomes Inter Developing Business (By: A. N. P.) Providence, IR. L. Dec. 21 - The Grand Lodge of Masons of the smallest state in the Union has originated something new in the activities of the Ancient Craft. At the recent annual communication in Providence, the Grand Lodge definitely committed itself to the furthering of race business interests, and has engaged to actively cooperate with the U.S. Department of Commerce to further business education and the practice of better policies in race enterprises. Several unique developments marked the session. One of these was the authorization of a birthday party to James Johnson of Newport on Sunday when his 98th birthday will be celebrated as the grand body's tribute to the oldest living Mason in the state of their affiliation. Arrangements for the transportation of all Masons of comparable age to Newport were effected. Another innovation in Masonic practices was the introduction of James A. Jackson, a business specialist of the U.S. Department of Commerce, who talked on the constructive possibilities of Masonry as a help to better business practices. Reports of officers and trustees plans tozeth with other routine matters were considered. Dinner was served to the entire membership in the dining hall of the temple. The grand officers are: Grand Master, Walter W. Williams; Deputy Grand Master, William A. Heathman; Grand Senior Warden, Charles H. H. Smith; Grand Junior Warden, William A. Minor; Grand Secretary, A. C. Buchanon; Grand Treasurer, Edwin O Jackson; Grand Marshal, Pembroke Powell, Grand Tyler, Orlando Ingraham; Deputy Second District, Alonzo Van Horne; Grand Prelate W. S. Holland; and a board of eleven trustees, together with the usual appointive officers who have not yet been announced. Atty. M. H. Broyles Wins Over Attorney General In Supreme Court Atty. M. H. Broyles Wins Over Attorney General In Supreme Court WHEN IS A HOUSE NOT A HOUSE? This question was answered by the Supreme Court of the State of California in a decision rendered in San Francisco, on the 28th day of December, 1928, wherein Attorney M. H. Broyles represented the defendant, in a case of the People of the State of California vs. Venice Gibbons. Gibbons was charged in an information filed by the District Attorney of Los Angeles County with the commission of the crime of Burglary of an outhouse having only three walls. Attorney Broyles was successful in the District Court of Appeal, but the Attorney General appealed to the Supreme Court in San Francisco, where the case was by Broyles and a representative of the Attorney General argued at length. The Supreme Court has by its decision sustained the contention of Attorney Broyles, that burglary cannot be committed in a three-walled shed. It must be a house as described by the law. C. Citizens Fight Save Youths From Chair --- (By: A. N. P.) Columbia, S. C., Dec. 31—Efforts are being made here to secure another hearing for John Pinkney, a sixteen year-old youth ad Sam Tolbert, age 22, who were convicted along with John Brown and George Palmer, of first degree murder and sentenced to die in the electric chair January 14, 1929. The movement to help the convicted youths followed in the wake of an interview held with them by Rev. S. S. Youngblood and Rev. Page M. Beverly. The ministers reported that when they visited, the prison and the frisoners, Pinkney ad Tolbert declared to them that they had not received a fair trial and they were forced to confess to the murder of a Chinaman in Charleston which they did not commit. Their declarations were substantiated by Brown and Palmer, who pointed out that the other men had nothing to do with the murder. "We did the killing," said Brown. "Pinkney and Tolbert were not present. I told the lawyer that but he would not believe me." Tolbert asserted that all of them had been severely beaten by the officers who secured the confession. Rev. Youngblood is soliciting funds to help the men, who have professed their innocence and is also seeking the aid of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Life Membership in N. A A.C.P.in Memory of Mrs. Butler Wilson New York, Dec. 21.—In memory of the late Mrs. Butler Wilson, of Boston, a Life Membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been established by Mrs. Butler Wilson, the fund having been made available through an unnamed donor through the Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Check for $500 accompanied Mr. Wilson's letter establishing the membership. This recognition of Mrs. Wilson's services to the cause of her race through the N. A. A. C. P. follows a tribute paid to her by the Boston Branch, shortly after her death on March 28, 1928. This tribute, which referred to the record of her life as one of notable service as a teacher, social worker and leader in many good causes, said in part: "Mrs. Wilson's soul was stirred by the wrongs that are suffered by the colored people' of our country and with flowing eloquence on many a platform she told the story of race prejudice, the story of disfranchise and segregation, of injustice suffered and opportunity denied, of hunting terrors and terrible lynchings. "She told the story of a rising race and its remarkable achievements. She rallied support, recruited members and organized many branches for our National Association. She made friends for the colored neighbor whom the white neighbor fails to appreciate because he does not know him. No crusader ever proclaimed the truth more earnestly or gave himself with more sacrificial devotion." to GAINS IN JOBS OUT- NUMBER LOSSES MANY CITIES REPORT IMPROVEMENT According to a recent bulletin of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League there is no foundation for the report that a concentrated effort has been launched to replace Negro waiters with whites. This is proved by the fact that several new hostelries have opened with colored waiters and the further fact that other hotels have discharged their white waiters and are using Negroes in their stead. These practices are being followed, at Marshaltown, Ia. San Antonio and Omaha in hotels that opened during the past month or two and at the Elk's Temple in Jackson, Mich. Replacements of white waiters by colored were reported in Louisville and Omaha. In jobs of similar character such as the running of elevators in office buildings, theaters and department stores the use of colored girls in lieu of white and colored men is being resorted to. The cities providing this information are Brooklyn Cincinnati where girls are being used as clerks in a department store Louisville, Newark and Austin, Tex. There are instances of improvement in other directions. A Negro youth was promoted from porter to matier in large Furrier shop in Chicago and given special training to do other duties connected with the business. A colored woman has recently been appointed manager of a Sinclair Oil Station in Buffalo. The opening of a theater in Brooklyn provided employment for a few Negroes, and the clothing industry offered women with knowledge of operating and finishing plenty of work. Los Angeles reports that the increase in the number of Negroes finding work in the motion picture industry seems to indicate that the Negro will be an important factor in this industry for the next few months, also that Negroes are replacing Mexican labor in construction work as laborers and helpers. St. Louis made enviable progress in new positions for Negroes in November, for three Negro attendants were placed in filling stations, one Negro girl placed as clerk in local store, and another in a pottery establishment as a molder. Also two youths were placed in semi-clerical jobs in a garment factory where no Negroes were formerly employed, and one youth was employed in shipping department of large electric establishment at an initial salary of $35.00 per week with opportunities for advancement. On the other hand Negro girls are losing out in a few of the nut, date and leather factories. In Lansing, Columbus, Louisville, Springfield, Jll., and Richmond, Va., the building trades and street repair occupations are using large numbers of Negro men. Baltimore reports that the Mayor's Unemployment Commission is recommending a plan for a permanent commission to continue the study of unemployment. A commission has already recommended proportionate amount of work to be allotted to Negroes in time of depression. MIGRATION There is a movement of workers into Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York and Chicago. Detroit reports a movement away from the city. On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. CHILDREN playing in the street and disobedience of traffic regulations caused 32 per cent of the pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents throughout the country last year according to the National Automobile Club. FOR 1929 it is to be hoped a more vigorous effort along all lines of effort will be the program for our group and more especially to improve our economic status. IT IS passing strange that our teachers in the public schools of the group appear less enthusiastic than the teachers of the opposite group, who take particular pride in chronicling the accomplishments of their pupils in the public schools. We are bombarded continuously so with requests for publicity and invited to exercises by the white teachers when our own teachers are either working under wraps, or hiding the "candle under the bushel basket." STATISTICS give out the fact that homicide committed in - Hollywood are 57 per cent greater than those committed on the East Side. Yet they refer to the East Side as a propagation school for vice and crime. WE ARE slowly but surely coming to the front along the line of business progress and just as soon as our business men and organizations can visualize the real and potential value of printer's ink, we will surely come forward in giant strides. MR. AND MRS. PORTER, 129 North Hill street, Pasadena, who owns a beautiful home at that number, delighted their many friends with invitations to view tre annual flower parade at Pasadena on last Tuesday. Appreciative indeed were those so fortunate as to have the privilege of enjoying the parade from this advantageous position. For they were virtibly lifted off the "Sidewalk." LET US PRAY that we will be rid of the varied political bosses for the year 1929. They are absolutely no good, but to the contrary are the weights upon our progress. They are holding to such an extent that heroic measures must be resorted to in order to loosen their hold. They belie the race, playing big and are small, without either brains or energy. We might well follow sane and able leaders who have brought things to pass and made a success themselves. But the parasitic political boss is a Jonah and menace: away with him! REV. BOB SHULER in his regular talk over the Radio last week announced that a poor colored newspaper man was asking alms from his people and asked those who felt so inclined to contribute to him as they would pass out, at the door. Now we were not so curious at the announcement of a poor newspaper man, as we were as to the identity of the person so applying. For out of all of our experience we have never yet met or heard of any Negro newspaper man whose pride would allow him to lower himself as to ask alms of anybody. We have thus far inquired of all of our reputable local papers and find no such person. Therefore after all the Rev. Bob Shuler might have possibly been imposed upon. For we will say here and now, we absolutely do not for one moment believe that any newspaper of standing or even of ex- (continued on page six) If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Friday, January 4, 1925 SUBSCRIBERS TAKE NOTICE The Call For 1929 Is For Progress Therefore it is hoped and expected that each subscriber to this journal will promptly pay up their annual subscription.

Avery rendered a splendid program. The Xmas Tree was very beautiful and was laden with presents for all. The heaviness of the tree was due largely to Mr. Silas Condict, a Christian white gentleman who has dedicated both his life and his money to God. Mr. Condict can be found in the pastor's study every Sunday morning from 8:30 to 11 where he listens to children from any age to 14 years recite scripture texts. The Sunday School and Epworth League presented the pastor, Rev. G. L. Hays a beautiful Bible and to Mr. Condict a lovely Xmas cake.

Aw Ma, but I'm going to reform, I'm going to keep those straight-- You don't believe me--all right, When New Year comes--just wait! Oh, you say that every year, You've not show me yet-- Write it down and tack it on the wall, So you won't forget! And Time sung his sythe And tipped his glass; In came the New Year, The Old Year passed. Hooted and mocked With shouts and sound. The New came in with ringing cheers And the yearly vows went round. He says to Ma, between shouts, Here's my resolution— And by my flat pocket book I'll keep it, if it wrecks my constitution. And up went his right hand In a solemn voice he spoke; I'll not say we'll never quarrell, Nor that I'll never smoke— To keep from breaking New Year vows Resolved: I will not make another resolution! . . .

The parking problem is always considered difficult of solution, as economic factors enter into it as well as the question of relieving traffic congestion. While elimination of parking helps to expedite the movement of traffic on congested streets, it is also true that the utility of the automobile is diminished if no roads are not permitted the use of convent terminal facilities. The question has been placed be- fore the Traffic Commission, to work cut a plan which will permit the freest flow of traffic with the least amount of inconvenience. Motorists who desire the parking will also.

This is one of retail merchandising. The merchant's relations to his home town paper are supposed to be those of an advertiser. That is a narrow view. The home town paper is an institution. The merchant can no more escape its influence than anybody else in the community, whether he advertises in it or not. Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local newspaper become definitely constructive. He becomes a part of this institution without which no community can express itself. Whatever its merit or demerits, the home town paper is an expression of the community. Literally, it is the "Voice of the People" in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium. This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To the best of its ability it answers Who, What, When Where, How and Why? It brings the individual out of himself. It speaks the local language. It interprets community life. Week by week, or day by day, it tells the story of the town and county. Most of us are so accustomed to the home town paper that we take is as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is run by failible human beings. The wonder about the home town paper is that it contains so few mistakes, not so many. To the merchant, especially, the home town paper is an opportunity. His business, too, is a local institution. Unless it finds some kind of expression in the home town paper, both the paper and the business have to an important extent failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every successive failure in this respect. It does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in the local paper. Most arvertisers are over-judicious rather than extravagant. It is the continual message that counts most. Sporadic advertisements now and then are doubtful value. Pehaps they are better than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placed by a business house should blend into every other advertisement is places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather in terms of the single insertion. Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Outstanding examples of it are to be found in the national field. Locally, however, advertising has much room for development. Aside from one or two of the big stores, the average merchant in the average small town gives too little study to the power of advertising. But conditions are changing. More and more merchants are coming to realize that they are losing money and prestige when they are not to be found in the advertising column of the home town paper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the field of retail merchandising. WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

A vein of gold or a gusher of oil attracts crowds quickly. The word goes as the wind for there will always be the through whose ears are attuned to alluring news of that character. To get rich quick is their dream and goal. A rumor is sufficient to send them on what they know is probably a fool's chase. The most optimistic booster here does not claim that fortunes may be made without effort. There is no desire among the people for the development of Wallingfords. There are however a large number of industries needed, legitimate enterprises, from which the returns on the investment will prove highly remunerative. Outside investors have sensed some of the attractive opportunities. They have their eye on the city and if sufficiently encouraged they will come here and invest. Of course we want them and will welcome the outside capital but why wait for them; why not accept the opportunities ourselves? There is something more to be done for your city. Something which is more important right now than the investment of dollars and cents and that is the awakening of a great group spirit. The spirit which will prompt and impel us to let the world know. Carry the message to those who seek new homes and fields in which to work. The message needs no exaggeration but it needs to be delivered. Basic conditions are essentially sound and with the strengthened credit the country is in a condition for a forward movement. There will unquestionably be a great renewal of business activities in the coming months. With this renewal we are entitled to our full share, nothing less. We are so very much the creatures of our own will that the determination to make a better and greater Los Angeles, accompanied by real effort, will assuredly prove successful. Keep this ever uppermost in your mind. Your city is going to be just what you choose to make it. The world is becoming so democratic that the grand manner would be extinct except for traffic cops. Since the first four years is supposed to form a child's char acter, we can report there will be no wild man shortage. Physical culture in this country has progressed to the point where very few people say "athalete." Few things in the world taste as good as they look, and it may be that this is true of flappers, too. EXAMINER ON ANOTHER RAMPAGE the loud wails of the Los Angeles Examiner in its tirade about destroying the beauty of the residence district of Santa Monica should be taken with a grain of salt. This is especially true for this newspaper which at times seeke to regulate the world. Sometimes it regulates sometimes it misses. In its wail against the boxing bill, the Examiner was a flop. We say this not that we are for or against the proposed proposition of a cement plant near Santa Monica, but because we are satisfied, before anybody should be against anything the Examiner wails against, they should carefully investigate. For all we know, the cry of distress, because a few particles of dust might fall on some rich man's lawn or his house, it might at the same time mean that thousands of poorer folk might earn a living wage and it might become here a mecca for employment. At any rate it will be well to investigate before arriving at any conclusion. Page----Six If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON One feature of president elect Hoover's "Good Will" tour of the Latin American countries was the variegated color of the public officials who greeted him. Admirals, Generals, high officials and dignitaries of government were of all complexions, but of one nation. To some of the party, a receiving line of men and women of every color, was a revelation. It might have been a struggle with ingrained prejudice to conform to the social customs of the host nation, but it was an object lesson in national entity. It was a visible refutation of the United States' theory that people of opposite color can not work side by side for the betterment of the whole. Mr. Hoover and his party can not fail to be impressed by such an obvious lesson in true democracy. It should, and without doubt will, have a tendency to cause them to view the question of color from a different angle. The nations to the south of us have fought unrelentingly against the induction of color propaganda. Brazil, Argentina, and all of the governments of the Southern Hemisphere, owe their rapid growth to the homogeneity of their nationals. As was to be expected, Perry Howard and his associates who were indicted for trafficking in federal office appointments, were acquitted. There was never any fear of Howard or any of his henchmen going to prison, or being convicted on any of the counts in the indictment. When the "Lily White" organization of the Republican party obtained control of the political machine every one was satisfied. For years it has been the determination of the lily white wing to wrest control from the Negro leaders of the party. On previous occasions they have had some astute politicians to fight. "Link" Johnson was not only an adept in party politics, but a fearless and determined fighter. He never said die nor was a quitter. As long as he lived they were given a break. With his death there came a demoralization of thir southern forces which with the Howard; Davie; Cohen triumverate dethroned, the demoralization has become a debacle. With a white committeeman in Mississippi, Mrs. Mary Boozze, a committee-woman, will either resign or be forced out. Bob Church is fighting with his back to the wall, and unless he can receive some substantial aid from the incoming administration (which is doubtful) his waning power will disappear entirely. Taking a cursory view of the situation it would appear that the change is of benefit—from a political standpoint—to the trace as a whole. The representation of the South in the party councils were of little benefit. The influence in the administration appointments were negligible. Mr. Howard's testimony on the stand was that "He considered the request of his superior as an order", there by showing that unless his suggestion met with that approval it was "Nil." Very few of the Race members received remunerative appointments, and those who did were help up as examples of party idulity to the race. Practically, they all came from states which denied to the blacks the right of franchise, ignoring those sections which contributed to party success. On the whole: From a political standpoint, it will make it better for the Negro voter. To hold the gains in the South the Republican party will have to take cognizance of disfranchisement or lost what it has gained. With the fear of "Negro domination" removed the right to vote must be given the Negro. If a coalition is made between the whites representing both major parties to prevent universal franchise the result would be felt in those states which have a bearing on election results. The past election made it obvious that the Negro vote must be reasoned with. You can not determine his ballot before it is cast, and he has learned to cast it intelligently. The next congress will become heir to the vexing question of immigration. There is a tendency to build a higher wall against foreign immigration, not only from Europe, but from countries on this Hemisphere to the North and South of us. Secretary of Labor Davis in his annual report recommends legislation that will curb the influx of aliens from Canada and Mexico as well as countries of Europe. With the growth of large industries, such as have sprung up in border cities like Detroit and Buffalo, commuters from across the border journey back and forth to work. There is a wide difference of opinions given by the press, and they vary according to their location. It is quite evident that the industries are looking for a surplus rather than an adequate labor demand. The labor unions are strenuously objecting to any law or laws permitting further laxity in the immigration law as it now stands. The states on the border of Canada are against any further restriction on the coming and going of "Our neighbors across the northern border," while with the exceptin of Minnesota whose sugar beet industry profits by cheap labor, they fail to champion the cause of the Mexican peon. The Minneapolis Journal disapproves placing the quota on our neighbors and says in part "Mexican labor is helping us in Minnesota with sugar beet cultivation and with the seasonable work of canning factories. It gives practically no trouble and makes an autumnal migration back to Mexico. Just what good purpose would be served by barring these ignorant but faithful toilers is hard to see. And without them the future of the beet-sugar industry in Minnesota would be dubious indeed." Of course California, south of the Tehatchipi, is against the Box measure for the same reason as Minnesota. Cheap labor: Still, according to labor statistics, there the more than two million AMERICANS without jobs. Thinking of the immigration question affecting Canada brings to mind the prohibition question. If there is an influx of Canadian labor into the states, there must be a deluge of Canadian liquor. It is acknowledged that 1,169,002 gallons of whiskey were cleared in the last fiscal year from Canada and found its way into the United States. The total Canadian value of alcoholic liquors cleared during that period amounted to $24,397,958 that is about $2,000,000 a month. The request of the United States that the Dominion assist them in curbing the flow of beverages has caused some very caustic comment from the press of that country which in the main amounts to the assertion that if the United States has created a problem which it can not successfully handle it is not the business of Canada to interfere. Otherwise: Why should Canada burden her tax payers to protect her border against something which she terms legitimate business. The Border Cities Star, a Canadian publication says, "The fact of the United States having uninforcible Prohibition laws is not sufficient reason why the Canadian Government or the Canadian Parliament should undertake to interfere with Canadian industry and commerce conducted within the laws of this country." And it is admitted that a 100 per cent enforcement would cost the United States $300,000,000. The New York Herald Tribune says, "The task Uncle Sam has set for himself t operform seems in the circumstances clearly beyond his powers, great as these may be." So the anti's say that enforcement is a failure with a capital F, and the prohi's say that all wet spots will be mopped up by 1930. Whatever the claim, it is an evident fact that to date there is no diminu- tion in the out-put, and the tax payer of he United States is paying for the enriching of the Canadian Government, which has the sense and foresight to take the matter in hand and make it pay for a legitimate existence. Reverting to politics: It appears that there will be some contests for the right to a seat in the next Congress. Thirteen in all. Illinois has one; 21st dist. Texas, 1. Missouri, 1. Ind. 2. Mr. 1. Virginia, 1. West Va., 1. Oklahoma, 2. Neb. 1. N. Jersey, 1. Florida, 1. In Florida W. C. Lawson, Rep., is contesting with Mrs. Ruth Bryan, elect. We do not believe that they can contest successfully with the daughter of the "Great Commoner." Such would be going contrary to the will of a Florida majority and that would never do. If our political history reads aight there has been no contest worth while since "76" the Hayes-Tilden count; when the result of the presidency hung on the electoral vote of Florida. Perhaps a good shake up would show some of the inside political work which has been the source of disfranchisement for some decades past. It might show why some folk are mauled and maltreated because of different complexion. Not allowed access to certain streets but have to walk thru alley ways to get to domestic work. Oh yes! May be some of those things will have a public airing. And, it may be proven that shot guns were brandished to keep a number of voters from the polls who would have cast their votes for the republican nominee. Mr. Lawson might be doing the country at large a favor by staging that contest. With the signing of the measure and the recommendation of the Utah legislature that the compact be ratified, things look more roseate than ever for the Boulder Dam project. The engineer has been selected in the person of Raymond Walters, of the bureau of reclamation. We hope that the people of the districts, California in particular, which will be benefited by the reclamation of the arid lands, will insist that a lasting memorial to Phil Swing and U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson is embedded in the massive masonry. We learn that the engineer, Mr. Walters has been with the bureau of reclamation since 1903; has had the supervision in the construction of several big government projects and his selection was the result of careful elimination of a long list of names presented to the interested persons. The construction of the Dam will be as interesting an event as the building of the Panama Canal. The efficient head of the San Francisco Police Department, Daniel O'Brien, has resigned and retired on pension. The citizens of San Francisco part with the splendid official regretfully. The city has been fortunate in the selection of its heads in the department of law enforcement. None have proved reckless to the trust imposed. The police department under Chief O'Brien has kept pace with the growth of the city. It has become famed for its capability. The Chief has won international note. His methods have been adapted by many of the metropolitan cities, and his advice and ideas of protection sought. In the councils of police chiefs he has been a leading exponent in criminal apprehension. Mayor James Walker, New York City, said, "If it could be legally done, I would certainly place him at the head of the Metropolitan Police Force." Ill health prompted the Chief to give up the work in which the better part of his life has been spent. San Francisco regretfully bows to the inevitable. With the certainty of water for the arid lands of the south-west. People are early making plans for settlement. We are attained that much of the desirable land adapted for the raising of semi-tropical fruits, will all be pre-empted before the Negro farmer awakes to the opportunity. Now is the time. Don't delay: Bring along your brains and sufficient money to tide you over the period of growth, and become independent owners of time farms: Producers. BOOK CHAT BOOK CHAT By: Mary White Ovington Chairman Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. "NIGGER TO NIGGER" By: E. C. L. Adams. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons. 597 Fifth Ave. New York City. Price 6.00. Postage 10c extra $2.00. Postage 10c extra This is the second volume from Dr. Adams descriptive of the Aegropos dome the confluence River, South Carolina. One should get compare it with the first volume, for a second time to tickle the palate as a first but we have become familiar with the confluence Aegropos, with their native trait, their shared comments of life about them, their affection, we are glad to meet them again and to learn more of their primitive life which is fast passing away. Especially we are glad to learn of them from a man of literary nates who has a delightful style of his own. South Carolina is fortunate in its group of writers, who sympathetically have down us the primitive Negro Gombes, Julia Peterkin, Du Boss Hayward, and Dr. Adams. In two of Dr. Adams' verses we have themes found in God's Trombones. James Weldon Johnson seems to be the only Negro who has successfully handled this sort of material. "Nigger to Nigger" is made up of short sketches, usually bits, of dialogue. Tad smoking his pipe talks to skip or to some other neighbor. They tell of the Syms, of White Folk, of Proachers, of Ghosts and Angels, of Our Rabbit and last of Death. They speak in dialect, but a dialect not so difficult to read as it used to be. Have the Negroes change! their speech, or have the whites given up attempting to get, by strange spelling, the Southern blurred tones. The book is attractively gotten up save that its jacket depicts black men with a mentality of the baboon or an animal who might have a vocabulary of fifty words—not the clever talker of the volume to whom the right word always comes. The impression the book leaves is a sad one. The Congaree Negroes have learned wisdom since they were brought to the United States in slave hips, they have adopted themselves to the lion of swamis and fertile lions, they have accepted the station in which they were placed. One does not think of the Congaree "Nigger" as the leader of an insurrection. When use of their number aspires to something different he is ridiculed. "God in Mish with never intended Joe for nothing in to sieve de hind part of a man." Criticization Seip says: "Dem educated Natives possess dey manners, an goes 'round parrot back wid dey humble stack out behind dey gallows.'" Education spells a man for toil. I watch world an' I never see readin' an an written go boe wid work" Best tray in home and accept the white master and his ways with philosophy. If you do not cross him he may often get infection for you. When the Nero does cross the white m in, or when he is even suspected of it, it rarely steps in. Among the White Folk she hides there is the man he beaten to death because he behold the white man's liquor, and the innocent man, serving thirteen years of a life sentence, to be released when the white woman declares that he did not result her. There is the lynching of the Lowmans, noted by name and told in singing lines. The refrain runs: Jus tried to 'tend my little home; I can only weep and moan. White folks got my body. Oh, Lord, have mercy on my soul, Have mercy, have mercy on my soul. When Ted and Scipp discuss to gather the Judge and the trial in the court room, they say, with their quiet fatalism: "It ain' make no difference if a Nigger is kilt. Jake ain' nothin' but a damn Nigger. I hear 'em say dat." Bur Rabbit is a fiddler in the animal sketches, and the clever one of the party as always. The children are told of how the owl will wring his own neck, and Scip remarks, after this yawn: "Dat's good fer dem children. It's good to tell 'em lie an' create 'spicion in dey mind, kaze dey guh listen to lie all dey life an' dey better be prepared. Dis world ain' much more an' one big lie anyway." Scip knows a thing or two. And so does Dr. Adams. How will he next present his people to us? In a novel perhaps or a play. Friday, January 4, 1929 Hoots From The Owl TO THE EDITOR, California Eagle: Guess people and things will just about settle down to normal, since the holidays have come to a close and will prepare them-selves for twelve months of hard work. Well here's hoping that every one of you that might be reading this, will have a prosperous year and that you will not end up broke like so many of us did. Washington is all stirred up over Oscar Depriest, Congressman elect's social standing, and whether or not he will be admitted in the select "400"? At present Oscar is wondering if he shall even get to Washington or not. The question was raised whether or not Pres. Coolidge's message to congress in favor of the negro wasn't a little late? It is nothing to be thought of, it should be a known fact. No one need ever fear that the American Negro will some day be extinct as a matter of fact, according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin "HE" will live just about as long as any other "INSECT." Louis as it Chicago is headed for another political war. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil certainly showed Pres. eliee Chee Hower how they do things down there in the South American Republic. Black men hold positions there they hardly dare speak of up here in this FREE COUNTRY OF OURS. Why in the sam hill do most parents teach their children to become leaders? When they should stop to think that if all of us were leaders who in the name of heaven would be the followers? Why can't some of us learn to follower for change? We all can't be President and Captains, etc. What a mess 'the world war would have been, but every one tried to have taken General Pershing's place. See where the boys over in "Gay Parcel" are painting the town RED especially the music makers, as everyong knows that music hath charms, the colored boys "OVER THERE" are going over big, although little mention has been made in any of the American papers. Dean Kelly Miller is right in telling the few Negroes, who happen to be mulatto to pass for white if they can, and that by so doing they will be in more of a position to help (OUR RACE) because it's a cinch we can't tear down that wall of hate from with-out, but must ease our way into the enemies' ranks and strike at "it's heart" from within. Well thank goodness the state first acted to stop immigration of Mexicans. They did everything but work for nothing. They lowered the wage standard and kept Negroes out of jobs that have-to-fore had been given them, but you can all see that (NO KICK WAS MADE) until (OUR POOR WILTE BROTHER) was effected. Now stand back everybody, and lets see what dog will get the bone. Can you beat it? The town of Mount Bavon, Miss, is completely inhabited by Negroes, who govern themselves, and are even without a jail. The city council just abolished it. "Saving that it was a needless expense." That old saving that "In every bad apple there is a certain amount of good" was brought to the fore, when Sheriff Walter P. Aldor of Natebes, Miss, frustrated an attack on the county jail by a mob of (WHITES) who were after a Negro that had been accused of an attack on a white woman. Yours. THOMAS ROWLETT. "On The Sidewalk" "On The Sidewalk" (continued from page one) instance would do such a thing as was announced at Rev. Bob Shuler's Church, for surely he will not do these things which lower the standing of the race with our good friends, the white people. As a matter of fact the Negro has stopped asking alms, all he wants is an opportunity, to make his way. The old days of hat, in hand asking the white man or any other to give you of his store has passed forever. We want our white friends to know this and when somebody comes sneaking around askig that you come right out and give him something 99 out of a hundred times he is a rank imposter. In the meantime the colored journals of this city are trying to find out who this particular gent is who asked alus of Rev. Shuler. ORGANIZED LABOR In Newark emphasis is being put upon Negroes joining the unions. Many skilled and semi skilled workers are finding their way into unions. The local Elevator Operators Union is still fighting the case for the 26 colored elevator operators at Snellensburg's in Philadelphia. The latest report indicates that the white women now running elevators will be replaced by white men. i iat eo A EE eee | ee lene “i s y ce | , ‘| i BYA a > .

King Vidor, directing Metro Goldwyn Mayers, first all color cast super film, "Halleluiah," have been for some time quietly looking about for a "double" for Haynes, the leading man, who could act. In looking through some stills made from recent sets, they discovered an almost identical likeness of Haynes. Char. Butler, of Central Casting Corporation, was called in to help identify the picture. He was identified as James Davis. They were sold on his resemblance, but not yet satisfied that he could act. They had some of the developed film ran for a test, in it they watched closely the movements of Davis on the screen. As a result they immediately hired him as a double for the star, Jake, what a break! Mr. Davis first effort as 'double-drew many comments praising his work from both Mr. Vidor and his assistant 'Red' Goellen. He will appear in this scene where Dan Hayner, as a prisoner, escapes from his cell during a flood. Mr. Davis is an expert swimmer and horse man. The water is very rough, and the studio did not want to take any chances on losing their star. Mr. Davis is a former Misourian, or is it further south, such as Texas or maybe Georgia? MOREHOUSE QUINT WINS OPENERS MOREHOUSE QUINT WINS OPENERS BY: A. N. P. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2 - Coach B. T.

JOHNNY GILL INVADES WEST BY: POP BARRET That old saying, everything comes to him who waits, is about it: come true once more, and Joe "Pop" Barrett, known from ocean to ocean, as the Methuselah of the night game, the one who has done the waiting, is about to be rewarded for his patience, here is the tale. After entering the world war, Johnny Gill, of York, Pa., with about 10 other boxers under the management of "Pop" volunteered to fight for Uncle Sam in the world war. Johnny served until injured and then after recovering, he was on the frontline when the Armistice was signed, ending it all. On returning to his home, Johnny packed a couple good flights under his belt and met Jack Britton, the then welterweight champion of the world, in St. eleton, Pa., on New Year's day, 1920, and while only 19 years of age, Gill was given the verdict at the end of a ten round, no decision battle. During the following years, Johnny went down the line kicking them over, until he met another world's champion, Mickey Walker. Walker having in the mean time beaten Britton for the title. Twice Gill met Walker and each time, both being no decision bouts, the packed house voted Gill the winner; but no title could change hands in such a match where no decision was redered, several attempts were made after this to have Walker meet Gill to a decision, but each time something happened to spoil the match.

These may be divided into three distinct classes - Ornithopters, Helicopters and Airplanes. While the airplane was the last to be developed, it is now the only one that is successful. chine. The fact that the birds fly by flapping their wings being undisputable, the sight of this has always been an importance to man to imitate their methods in attempting to duplicate their performances. Very few experiments have been made that give any reliable information concerning the resistance encountered by planes moving intermittently through the air. According to Lilienthal the resistance is from nine to twenty times greater than when the planes are moved with continuous motion. It is probable that Lilient our motion. It is probable that, indeed, estimated the resistance of such wing beat at too high a figure, but the fast remains that a beating wing is more efficient when used as a propelling force than is a continuously moving surface. However, up to the present time Ornithopter have attained no practical success, and it is probable that they will never come that they will never come any nearer in competition with the airplane than a car propelled with mechanical legs. In imitation of the house, would compete with the present automobile The question whether a man will ever be able to raise his own weight into the air by muscular energy has long been a favorite source of discussion, and with the developments of other means it is hardly worth while to dwell upon it here. Nevertheless, there will still be found in many theorists who staunchly pin their faith to the ultimate development of the Ornithopter along these lines. It is possible that the reason so little success has attended the many experimenters in this direction is that the artificial wings or planes built by man are rigid structures with non-variable surfaces, whereas in the structure of a bird's wing every single feather is possessed of independent power of motion, and is capable of attacking the air to the best advantage. HISTORY OF THE AIRPLANE SINCE JANUARY, 1914 Italy has smallest plane in the world. An airplane mearuring less than 10 feet across the wing and said to be the smallest machine of its kind in the world, recently flew at Bagnoli field, near Naples, reaching a speed of about ninety miles an hour. The largest plane so far in the world listed in the "Air Transporta- tion" directory, is the "Lawson Double Deck" airplane. Think of an airplane with two decks. Specification are as follows: Cabin Biplane. 104 passenger. Dimensions: Length Overall, 105 ft. Height overall, 40 ft.; Wing span upper, 200 ft.; Width of upper wing, 22 ft. Areas: Wing area, 9100 sq. ft. Weights: Weight, empty, 58,000 lbs.; Ureful load, 38,000 lbs.; Actual pay load, 28,000 lbs.; passenger capacity, 100 pasgengers: crews, 2 pilots, 2 mechanics; gross weight, loaded, 96,000 pounds Who can forecast the limit of the number of wings, the number of engines and the number of decks of the great airlines of the future that the future generation will witness in travel by means of airplanes. It staggers the most vivid imagination. The Lawson airliner attained fame by breaking four world's records. First the world's altitude record for fifteen passengers when theliner climbed to a height of fifteen thousand feet while crossing the Cumberland mountains. Second, the Lawson airliner broke all passenger carrying records for distance of two hundred and fifty miles when it carried fourteen passengers between New York and Washington,' D. C. Third, the Lawson airliner broke all world's record in carrying eleven passengers a distance of three hundred and thirteen miles between Syracuse and Mineola and at the same time broke all speed records for the Syracuse-New York journey, which was made in two hours and trirty-two minutes. Fourth, the Lawson airliner broke all world's records with fourteen passengers in going from New York to Chicago when it remained in the air for four hours and thirty minutes. But the most important thing of all which the Lawson machine demonstrated was that passenger carrying from city to city is an assured fact and can be accomplished with little or no danger to the passengers.

BESSY BEARQEN Chairman, Publicity Committee When the announcement was made on January 26, 1928 that a series of radio broadcasts to be known as the Negro Achievement Hours would go on the air from WABC of the Atlantic Broadcasting Company, 115 West 57 Street in New York City, no one anticipated the interest that would follow so revolutionary a departure from ordinary, radio presentation by and for colored persons. Prior to January, jazz bands, spirituals and blues were all that radio stations cared to offer their audiences. Occasionally some prominent persons was permitted ten minutes and only after careful introduction and recommendation from some one friendly to the station. No particular egot was made to seek the opinions of race leaders, to give opportunities to artists or to offer broadcasting facilities equal to other groups. it will be to the everlasting credit For the purpose of showing that appreciation and gratitude which so many persons have voiced after each weekly broadcast, a few men and women took it upon themselves to arrange for the 50th anniversary celebrating 50 weeks of consecutive broadcasting. This decision was reached only after a great many persons were asked if such an event would meet with the approval of the group. Words of encouragement came from all parts of the country. And so last November the first meeting of an organization committee took place at the Association or Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh Ave., in New York City. at which time plans were formulated to carry the project to a successful completion. The members of the committee are: Chairman, Benjamin E. Thomas, Press; Acme Mutual Taxayers Liability Association; Treasurer, Noah D.

White, New York News; Attorney H. Eustace Williams; Secretary, Miss Sarah Freeman. A descriptive circular was sent to persons who had either sponsored or appeared in the various Negro Achievement Hours, informing them of the forthcoming event and asking for contributions, so that proper expenses would be taken care of and to pay for the cost of presenting a work of art to the officials of the station. Bids were asked and received from various artists and after some sharp competition in the matter, the final award was made to Aaron Douglas, well known artist, and an original work of art depicting Racial Achievement is now being done in oil. Temeriones will commence at 10 o'clock on the night of January 11th, and will continue until 12 or later, among the prominent persons invited to be present who will speak on subjects of interest to the radio audience are: Dr. W.

Spaulding. Business: Alain Locke. Education: J. Finley Wilson. Fraternal Orders: Alexander F. Miller. College Fraternities. Each speaker will be allotted 5 minutes, in which to make his presentation. A short sketch of his own achievement will be read over the radio. A musical program of the previous hours are: W. C. Handy and family; Amsterdam News, Romeo L.

GORDON, Jr. Seemingly beetiful of the potentialities of his young Caucasian and other brothers, the young Negro is fighting with all his innate energy to perpetuate himself and his race's accomplishments through the darg period of his history. Four score or more students can be found daily answering the roll call at local universities, and with the sole purpose of performing well in the professions they have chosen. The best is immune, and has no such "society" that is based upon collegiate institution and one's fortunateness to attend those institutions. Thereby automatically doing away and eliminating from its institutions the inserious ad socially ambitions individual who uses a term in some institution as a stepping stone to social glamor. The latter condition, surprising as it may be, prevails in other sections of the country. Any impartial observer can readily discern in the "Young Negro" a new and foreign characteristic, the direct antithesis of one possessed by the patriarchal generation. It is one of individualism in choice. Formerly all progressive youths irrespective of ability, if possessing the means, would chase one of the three crowded professions—Medicine, Law or the Ministry. However, such professions as Architecture, Dentistry, Music, Art, Engineering, and the most needed of all business are at present getting a large quota of students. The latter profession is enjoying by leaps and bounds the interest of students, who are getting the scientific application of the fundamentals of business of cause demand always creates supply, and there is to be sure, a demand for capable business methodicians and executives. Numbers of rasping criticisms have I heard heaped upon the many neophite lawyers, however in the majority of cases the criticizing one forgets the tendencies and possibilities of lawyer with his combined legal and business knowledge to make the best of business executive. With the above statements in mind we must conclude with an extreme degree of optimism, for with a distribution of trained ability—and a growing tendency of the race to cooperate and lend confidence to one another success to the young Negro, if he lacks the disgusting "ego" and false pride, is honest, sincere, and industrious, is as inevitable as his failure if fails to live up to the above rule of conduct. L. A. PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION DEPT. December 31, 1928 - That the year 1929 will be an outstanding one in the development of municipal recreation in Los Angeles are forecast today in the announcement of plans for the new year by Superintendent George Hijelte of the City's Playground and Recreation Department. The program calls for many new playground buildings and improvement in play facilities of all types under the jurisdiction of the Department, including playgrounds, camps, swimming pools, and beaches. This extension of the municipal recreation system will be made with a view toward providing recreational opportunities not only for the present citizens of Los Angeles and their families but al- Page—Nine RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw BROTHERHOOD PLAN TEN THOUSAND MEMBER. SHIP FOR 1929 Despite the fact that the Brotherhood of Sleping Car Porters qualified to represent the Pullman Porters and maids, in 1926, by having enrolled a majority of the porters and maids in the Pullman Service, as members and according to the provisions of the Railway Act, entitled to present the case of the porters to any Government body, the Union plans to initiate a nation-wide membership campaign to reach the mark of ten thousand in 1929, says General Organizer, A. Philip Randolph. This will represent practically ninety-five per cent of the porters and maids on the tre payroll, which was represented by the Company was intended so nearly as possible to prevent the Organization from being able to claim a majority. However, the United States Mediation Board declared that the Brotherhood was a lawful and logical representative of the porters and maids. The various high-powered chiefs of the Porters' Union: M. P. Webster, President, Organizer of Chicago Division; A. L. Totten, Assistant General Organizer, now stationed over Mid-Western Zone; Bennie Smith, Zone Supervisor, Pittsburgh-Western; E. J. Braidle, Organizer St. Louis Division; S. E. Grain, Field Organizer; Silas Taylor, Organizer Boston Division; Dad Moore and C. L. Dellums, Organizer and Secretary-Treasurer, Oakland Division; George S. Grant, Organizer Los Angeles Division; Mrs. Oneida Brown, Organizer New Orleans Division; and John W. Darby, Organizer Jacksonville Division have set their machinery and are all ready for the big membership drive which will make be power of the Brotherhood more formidable and irresistible, says the Porters Leader. The Young men who have been recently recruited in the Service will be especially sought after. Through an intensive literature, and man to man propaganda method, the porters will be enlisted. In the interest of this drive, a dispensation on joining fees will be declared the first of the year, according to General Organizer Randolph. PORTERS' UNION WISHES THE PUBLIC A HAPPY NEW YEAR Pullman Porters, perhaps, more than any other group of wage earners are especially indebted to the public, because it has been the public which has made it possible for them to live, since their meagre wages of $72.50 per month are sorely inadequate. Moreover, the public has shown a remarkably generous and sympathetic attitude towards the porters' organization's high; for a living wage, and the right to organize. We wish also to thank the Negro Press especially for its effective, fair-minded and racepatriotic spirit in giving liberally of its space to the cause of Economic Justice, and Solidarity of Negro wage earners. We, therefore, wish the Black and White Public and the Black and White Press, a Happy and Prosperous New Year for the great service they have rendered the Cause of Economic Righteousness, expressed through the Porters' Struggle. so for the many additional thousands who are expected to settle here during the year. Among the major development projects which are included in the Playground Department's budget for 1929 are: The landscaping and beauty of Griffith Playground to make this fine recreational unit unusually attractive as well as useful; the construction of four new tennis courts at Manchester Playground; the development of the playground at Banning Park in Wilmington; the improvement in many ways of Camp Radford, the municipal mountain camp in the San Bernardio mountains; the installation of a complete alarm system to protect the lives of bathers at Venice beach; the reconstruction of the Municipal Men's Club on Main Street, which is a city project offering club facilities to every man. Major building projects on the 1929 calendar include the erection of fine community club houses at Ross Synder, Exposition Park, Yosemite, and Whittier Playgrounds, and the construction of swimming pools in the North Hollywood ad the Hollenbeck Heights districts.
