SOMERVILLE WINS SUIT VOLUME 43 "In those days, while Mordecai sat in the King's gate, two of the King's gate, two of the King's Chamberlains, Brighan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahasuerus. "And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the Queen; and Esther certified the King thereof in Mordecai's name. "And when the inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in he book of the Chronicles before the King---Esther 2:21-22-23." ALL IS NOT well with the peoples of the world today. From Europe there comes from the ranks of labor a herculean cry for higher wages for the bread winner. In America or the United States, where the banks are filled with gold and the storehouses budging with grain, hungry men, women and even children walk the streets asking for a chance to earn a living, which means food and shelter—and yet in cities where these conditions prevail therein live men and women, high up in church, social and financial ranks who parade themselves as Christians. As we think of them we feel like saying "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." The real condition of affairs as they exist was brought vividly to our attention a few days ago when an old black woman—and when I use the adjective "black." I use it with a thought of reverence—came into our sanctum. Her clothes were worn and tattered and her feet were almost bare, but in spite of her dejected appearance, as she leaned over the counter to ask if I knew where they were giving away Xmas baskets, I discovered in her tone a note of gentleness, and in her kindly eyes a look of compassion. I was inclined to engage her in conversation, and so I said, "It's sad that there are so many needy folk in the world when there should be plenty for all. "Yes," came back from the humble soul. "I visited the swill pails in a certain section of the city today and discovered therein more and better food than I have ever had to eat, so I helped myself." When we serve others we serve God, and when we proclaim ourselves Christians, it matters not how consistent we are in attending church, we deceive ourselves if we fail to serve our fellowman. IT HAS BEEN authoritatively brought to our attention that when a certain witness in the case of Elizabeth Gilbreath vs. Willie Lewis took the stand in Judge Raymond Turney's court a few days ago, because said witness happened to be chewing gum Judge Turney in rebuking him for the same, took occasion to remind him that he was not now on Central avenue, and that such Central avenue manners would not be tolerated in his courtroom. Now, while we agree with Judge Turney that gum-chewing in public is a bad habit we see no good reason why Central avenue should come in for a seaching rebuke Let's use our notebooks on even these judges who in the heat of a campaign are willing to wine and dine with us to the tune of getting our votes, but so soon as they are on the bench they turn on us not unlike the fighting bulls, who desent red flags. IT MIGHT BE well for Judge Turney and our Mavor, for that matter to read "Capt. C. R. Bendle Tells World About 77th," in the Tuesday, December 2nd issue of the Southwest Topics, a tri-weekly, publication published in the interest of the community in which it lives. Capt. Bandle starts his descriptive narrative by stating that he had been asked to present to the citizens of this city a description of the 77th Street Division of he Los Angeles Police Department, and from which we are publishing extracts, which we believe will be of vtal interest to our group, not only that portion living in the 77th, but likewise those living in the Central avenue district, adjacent to, the 77th: "** * * This community spirit reaches into the personnel of the Seventy-seventh street station because of the fact that most of the officers own their own homes in this district and therefore they are in close contact with the people they serve. "**** The crime situation in Seventy-seventh street division is well in hand. A study of statistics for the present fiscal year which began July 1, 1930, and up to October 31, shows the following results: Burglaries are 15 per cent under last year's figure: auto thefts are 21 per cent under, and robberies, which at the end of September showed a considerable increase, had been reduced by the activity of our officers to only 11 per cent over last year, which is the smallest increase in (Continued on Page Four) No wonder Hayward Kelsey, the prominent beau brunnel of the city won the heart of the petite little Miss Maudia Ross who recently arrived won the heart of the petate little Miss Maudia Ross who recently arrived from Oklahoma.

POPULAR POSTMAN SU ANNOUNCEMENT OF A secret marriage of several months standing came to light today when Hayward Kelsey, popular postman, admitted to Eagle reporters that he and Miss Maydia Ross, recently arrived in the city from Oklahoma slipped away from the city several months ago and went to Santa Anna where they were married. Not only did Kelsey admit the marriage but he guided reporters to 1215½ East 25th street where the couple have a charming flat. The marriage comes as a complete surprise to the many friends of one of the Avenue's most popular postman and will doubtless be equal. DR. NELSON SAYS WIFE WENT EAST SEEKING HEALTH Asserting that his wife, Helen Lee Worthing, former Follies and film star, had been suffering from insomnia and had merely gone to New York to secure the attentions of specialists, Dr. Eugene Nelson told a California Eagle reporter that he knew nothing of any plans on the part of his wife for a divorce. He was emphatic in his denial that a divorce was the object of her eastern trip, saying thatshe had gone to New York to recover from a nervous ailment and that whatever actions she took after that recovery would be left to her own discretion and decision. In response to ta question as to the published reports in the daily press that Mrs. Nelson had said that she was seeking a divorce the doctor accused the press of garbling reports to make a good story. The process of recovery from the particular malady from which Mrs. Nelson is suffering is a slow one. Nelson said and added that it would probably be months before she had effected a recovery. He said that he did not expect his wife to make a decision of any kind until she had recovered as she is a very sick woman at the present time. The martial affairs of the Nelsons first attracted attention last fall when Mrs. Nelson applied for a divorce. Dailles seized on the incident to call attention to the fact that the former stage beauty had married a man who admits his colored blood. After a THE FILM MAKER MRS.

Mrs. Kelsty is a native of Oklahoma and a graduate of Booker Washington high school in Tulsa where she was very popular among the younger social set. Kelsey is a native of Oklahoma and a geles and is a graduate of Santa Monica high school. He has been in the postal service for the past seven years.

The couple disclosed plans for a honeymoon trip to the bride's home next June. period when the affair was kept in the headlines with frequent reference on the part of the press to their racial differences, the couple effected a reconciliation and returned to living together. Recently Mrs. Nelson was stricken with a nervous malady and moved from her husband's home at 746 East Adema street to an apartment on Wilshire boulevard. His wife failing to find the relief she sought, the doctor said that he had sent her east where she could get better medical attention. Nelson came to Los Angeles from the South and is reputed to have made an immense amount of money out of his medical practice and judicious investments. At one time he is reported to have had extensive holdings in the Santa Fe oil fields from which he realized a small fortune. Later he invested his funds in a night club and cabaret and reaped a golden harvest. Prior to his marriage to his present wife, Nelson had been married and has two children by the first marriage. His first wife secured a divorce from him on grounds of infidelity and was granted a huge amount of alimony. She lives in Los Angeles and is still unmarried. Nelso is sain to have met his present wife through the large practice which he has maintained in the local film colony. FIND STOLEN ARTICLES Police yesterday arrested Henry Hunen 22, of 771 East 28th Street and Harold Parker, 23, of 970 East 33rd Street, alleging that they had found a great variety of stolen articles in their possession. Burglary victims of the past few months have been asked to view the articles to see whether or not they can identify any of them. HUSBAND SLAIN BY WIFE AFTER MANY QUARRELS HUSBAND SLAIN BY WIFE AFTER MANY QUARRELS Killing Followed Short and Stormy Marriage Coming as an aftermath of a long series of quarrels and threats on his part, Tom Rainey was shot and killed by his wife, Pearl, at her apartment in a popular East 23rd street apartment house last Friday morning. After the homicide had been described as justifiable by a coroner's jury, the woman was released and returned to he rhone. The couple had been married only a little more than a year but their short marriage was a s tormy one. Another woman, said to be an attendant at a Central avenue beauty shop, entered the case and Rainey paid marked attentions to her, friends of his wife said. Rainey was described as a man of violent temper who beat his wife in fits of ungovernable rage, induced by a fealous disposition. His temper also extended to the other woman in the case and he is alleged to have broken out windows of the beauty shop where she worked when he became angered at her. Despite his own infidelities, Rainey was extremely jealous of his own wife and accused her of unfailfulness. A few months ago Rainey and his wife were separated after a succession of particularly violent exhibitions of temper on his part. Rainey returned to his mother's home and his wife sought an apartment of her own where she lived with a woman friend. When his threats continued his wife, fearing for her own safety, had Rainey put under a peace bond. However he continued to molest her and was arrested and sentenced for failing to observe the terms of the bond. After serving 30 days sentence for this violation of the law Rainey was released. Apparently the man learned nothing by his jail sentence and continued to harrass his wife. The night previous to the killing Rainey is said to have gone to a public dance in company, with a number of his friends and to have engaged in a drinking bout. He went home at an early hour the next morning and a few hours later presented himself at his wife's apartment. Pretending that he had a gun and was going to shoot her the man advanced on his wife who drew a revolver and shot once. The shot took effect and Rainey fell dead. Police were called and Mrs. Rainey was arrested. She told police that she had had the gun in her possession for only a short time, having found it in a garbage can. According to her story, her husband was in the habit of mistreating her and pretending that he had a gun or other weapon and was going to shoot her. She said that she feared for her own safety when he appeared the morning of the tragedy and shot in self defense. Mrs. Rainey is a native of Texas. The couple had no children an dthe slain man is survived by his mother. Grand Jury Releases Brown Transcript The transcript of the testimony on which the grand jury indicted Geo. Brown and police officers Scott and Kelso was given out this week. Most of it concerned a conversation which Brown is alleged to have had with Police Officer Trainor in which Brown unfolded plans for a a Central avenue liquor and vice racket The conversation was recorded on a dictaphone. Brown is revealed in the conversation as asking for a new vice squad for the Newton station and an representing that Hugh Macbeth well-known attorney, had the ear of th emayor's private secretary and could effect th etransfer of the neces sary officers. Brown's testimony was to the effect that his conversation with Trainor was an attempt to trap the latter at the request of persons close to the mayor. Macbeth denied that he authorized the use of his name by Brown and said that the latter had only used it to make his own case a bit stronger.

Gentlemen: During the past few weeks there has been considerable mention in the daily press, of the community in the region of Central avenue. The publicity, while perhaps not calculated so to be, has been propaganda of a type extremely adverse to the people living, and doing business, in this part of Los Angeles. I inevitably, it has left that impression in the minds of a great number of persons, and it has placed the people of the Central Avenue Community in a false position, and it has given the community a false character. The alleged acts of a few persons have been "played up" in a manner (Continued on Page Eight) FORMER CITIZEN SLAIN BY PARTNER Bakersfield, Calif., December 6.—A quarrel over the proposed dissolution of their partnership interests in a pool hall led to the shooting of Dan Anderson by Tom Pensom today. Following Anderson's death Pensom was arrested and will face charges for the killing. Anderson was a baseball player of a decade ago and won fame both as a member of the old New York colored Giants and as a coach. He came to Bakersfield ten years ago and soon formed a partnership with Penson in a pool hall on K street. The slain Court Decrees Hotel Must Be Returned To Its Original Owner TRUST DEED INVALID Somerville Company Must Return Money Secret to The Kronick brothers must deed the Dunbar, formerly the Sommerville hotel to the Sommerville Finance and Investment on the payment of the amount which they have invested in the hotel less one $25,000 trust seed, according to a decision rendered today by Judge Yanwich of the Superior court. In the suit the Sommerville company asked that the Kronicks be declared a trustee for it and also asked that the title be quieted in its favor. The court denied the petition as to take trustee and ruled that since the Sommerville interests had asked for a quieting of the title that Sommerville would be given 15 days to request the appointment of a referee. It will be the duty of the referee to ascertain the amount of money actually spent on the hotel project by them with the exception of one $25,000 encumbrance in the form of a trust and DR. SOMERVILLE that Sommerville will then have 60 days in which to pay the money into court. Should the money be paid into court the Kronicks will be required to dee dthe hotel back to its original owners. The suit was based on an accusation of fraud on the part of the Kronicks in procuring the title to the hotel which was built by a company headed by Dr. Sommerville. At the time of its building it was commonly said to be the most beautiful colored hotel in America and won wide and favorable mention both in the white and colored press. At the time of the N. A. A. C. P. convention here Dr. Du Mois advised all Negroes visiting Los Angeles to be sure to see the Sommerville. After it had fallen into the hands of the Kronicks the name was changed to the Dunbar. They have recently completed a number of changes in the hotel. It is not known how much the Kronicks have invested in the hotel but the amount is said to be in excess of $75,000. man was married and Is survived by his wife and two sons, all of whom live in the city. Anderson was the son of the Reverend C. H. Anderson, one of the early outstanding Baptist divines of Los Angeles. The Reverend Anderson began his ministerial career as pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city and raised that church to a preeminent position by dint of his hard labor and conspicuous ability. Later he founded and become the pastor of the New Hope Baptist church at 1623 Paloma street and ended his career at that church. Faced with death he called the present pastor, A. A. Lively, to his bed side and asked him to continue the work which he had begun. Another of the Reverend Anderson's contributions to this city was his part in the founding of the Baptist Old Folks home. He played a large part in launching what has since become one of the city's outstanding institutions of its kind. Dan was the eldest of the pastor's five sons. He began his baseball career here and afterwards went on to play in colored professional baseball. He here ten years ago to go to Alabama and has lived in that city since that time.

Upton 1 UPTON SAYS IN HOLLYWOOD Out in Hollywood on the 14th floor of a storage building at Wilshire and Santa Monica Blvd. the aristocrats of high life staged a wild party—in fact it was so wild that the papers fell us that it took 27 patrol-wagons to carry the distinguished guests to a more quiet place where their minds would be free from the high pitch of excitement created by the fantastic dancing of four beautiful young ladies who had nothing on in the way of wearing apparel to cower their shapey figures but a string of beads. Gambling devices which would call Monte Carlo a dirty name were going full blast, while slick haired waiters were kept constantly on the go supplying the law abiding citizens with beverages long since prohibited by the Volstead Act. It is said that five hundred of these highlifers were lodged in jail so I take it that the affair must have been some party. A list of the distinguished guests has not yet been published. Bet some of the names would make you gasp for breath; and yet they call Central Avenue District the "black underworld" when the only excitement we can get over there is a flapper with a pair of rolled down stockings. ```markdown ``` SOUTHERN PACIFIC RED CAPS FIGHT FOR RIGHTS— Southern Pacific red caps were reported to be fighting with their backs to the wall last week when the district baggage agent in charge of the red cap personnel issued an order which shattered seniority rifts to the four winds. It seems as though there are about 15 antor jobs at the depot that carry a guarantee of $3.45 per day and the red caps ranking in seniority / have been given the preference of these jobs which also carry the privilege of handling passengers' grips on different trains arriving during the day, thereby allowing these men a fair living for their labor. Some time ago quite a number of what is commonly known as free red caps were hired. The free red caps handle baggage without a guarantee but do not have any other work to perform around the depot. The depot is overrun with this kind of help and now that business has decreased at least an hundred per cent there is not enough work for all concerned to make a fair living. Heretofore when business dropped off these extra red caps were dismissed. However on the new ruling of the district baggage agent he intends to confine the 15 red caps ranking in seniority holding the janitor jobs to janitor work only thereby eliminating them from meeting any trains whatever to make up the balance of their salary. This leaves them depending entirely on the significant sum of $3.45 per day for their living, but enables the baggage agent to retain the dirth of extra free red cap porters who are s oogreat in number that they are depriving the old regulars from making a good living. At the present time there are about 30 extra red caps on the job. An agreement of long standing with the company has been in effect on the part time janitor jobs. The district baggage agent in taking this privilege away has strictly violated the red caps' seniority rules thereby giving the red cap who has just entered the service the same privileges that a red cap has that has been in the service for five or ten years. According to the district baggage agents new ruling a long period of time $3.45 per day is hardly enough for a single man to on much less a married man with a family. I have been led to understand that the red caps are going to fight the ruling bitterly in order to have it abolished, in fact the whole future of and they are leaving no stone unturned in their endeavor to defeat the issue. The out come of the movement shall be watched by the Clatter with interest. The Eagle office is one mystery. Things just happen around there and no one ever knows what it is all about until it comes out in the papers. Just why the writer is unable to state. In all other business establishments hich the writer has had the privilege of coming in contact with employees have been informed If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue with some of the crews operating on the Chief, things have not been so rosy as they have been pictured. The boys say that if all those people came out there on the Chief that Mr. Black claims, they must have been riding the rods and not on the inside, and that for the exception of a few stragglers who are ducking the cold weather they have been playing to empty cars! SANTA FE WAITERS COMPELLED TO LOSE ONE TRIP A MONTH—. Santa Fe Waiters have recently had an order to relieve the unemployment situation among the waiters by laying off one trip each month. NEW ORLEANS PORTER WINS SAFETY PRIZE— According to reports there is nothing in a name otherwise porter, U. Short would not have won the safety-first prize offered by Mr. Gullbert for the best idea on safety first to be pictured on a safety bulletin. One would think that a man by the name of Short, would come skort of winning a prize, but Mr. Short has fooled them all. FOOTBALL SPECIALS GIVE MANY MEN WORK— During these hard times of light travel all over the country, waiters, cooks and porters were tickled to death at the break they received last week handling the Notre Dame football specials. Third and Townsend streets in San Francisco were crowded with porters, cooks and waiters. Twenty-five porters dead-headed up to the Northern city on train No. 69 to return with the fins. PORTERS TAKE CLATTER'S ADVICE IN GIVING EXTRA PORTERS WORK— That the article on conditions of the porters bucking the extra board did some good was evidenced by the porters who laid off a trip to give some extra porter a chance. Chas Palmer was off and also Jimmy Sykes. We hope that some of the other porters will have a heart and follow suit. Extra porters are going to need work more than ever now that Christmas is right here. Many have ecbildren who are looking forward to seeing Santa Claus come down the chimney, and unless these men get work, the little ones will be disappointed. The writer believes that the regular porters of this district would not knowingly be a party to so great a disappointment to the youngsters and is looking forward to more of the regulars responding to the Clatter's plea to lay off a trip and give an extra porter a break. MR. VALENTINE PASSES For 20 years an employee of the Southern Pacific, Mr. Valentine passed away last week. Mr. Valentine had a large circle of friends among the railroad men and his death will be mourned by all who knew him. DINING ROOM ARGUMENTS Travel reached its peak last week, and the Los Angeles Steamship Co., steamer Harvard arrived with every available state room filled. Transcontinental and Western Air Express and other airplane companies announced capacity business southward. A special 12 place plane was added to the regular schedule. TRAVEL TO WEST BY RAIL HEAVY— SHOULD B One of the that some p their airport and seeing best over th is not the porters but among the room is no If you must train. It le others who One of the most disgusting habbits that some porters have is carrying their arguments to the dining room and seeing who can come out the best over their coffee and rolls. This is not the habit of the majority of porters but it is noticed particularly among the new man. The dining room is no place to settle arguments. If you must argue, do it off of the train. It leaves a bad impression on others who might happen to be within hearing distance. Porters should also make a special effort on transcontinental trains to be courteous to the maids who are in the crew. If a maid enters the dining room while you are seated, and there is no chair vacant, it is a mark of intelligent raisin and politeness to get up and offer her your seat. The utmost respect should always be shown the maid, because she represents the womanhood of your race. Respect her and others will do the same. No man can ever in his natural born life --- before hand of any change in the office personnel by a bulletin or verbally. However, since the writer has just now been informed thru the channels of this publication of the appointment of Loren Miller, to the position of city editor and also the appointment of an advertising manager, the Railroad Clatter takes this means of wishing them the success that is sure to be theirs with the proper co-operation. May they soar on to a brilliant career with the California Eagle. 4,860,000 JOBLESS MEN CAN'T BE WRONG- According to William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, an estimate of 4,860,000 people are out of work. Mr. Green in giving the number his organization was informed were jobless in November, said if the rate of increase shown during that month continued, more than 7,000,000 would be unemployed by February. The Federation's figure for October was 4,500,000. Their figures Green said, do not include farm labor and offseason workers. Indreases in unemployment were noted in the building, metal and printing trades, clothing industries, and manufacturing and service industries. Improvement was shown in theatres and railroads. The writer takes it by these figures that 4,860,000 jobless men can't be wrong and that the United States is wrapped up in a blanket of depression. TRAINMEN PRESS FOR SIX-HOUR DAY— The fight of organized labor for a six-hund day will receive fresh himpetus, when officials of the, five brotherhoods of railroad workers meet to map out plans to obtain that goal in the railroad industry. According to David B. Robertson, president of the firemen and enginemen by derucing the number of miles traveled by train crews per month and the total hours worked by other railroad men, 50,000 railroad men now unemployed could be put to work at once. RAIL LABOR CHIEFS CALLED TO CAPITOL Executives of 21 railway labor organizations were called to meet at Washington by executives of five luge brotherhoods meeting last week to discuss problem affecting rail transportation. No explanation accompanied the call, but the conference was understood to have intended asking Congress to impose more stringent regulations upon pipe lines and trunk and bus agencies. Seven special trains amplifying the full regular Southern Pacific service steamed into Los Angeles last Saturday morning. The Knights of Columbus chartered three trains as Notre Dame specials. More than 2000 persons left on specials, railroad officials estimated, while other hundreds took the regular trains which were sold for days. Travel over the Santa Fe railway lines to California and the Southwest during the past weeks has shown an increase over last year, according to W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager. The heavier business started right after Thanksgiving and is keeping up. For three days we have not had a berth, drawing room or compartment left on the train. All of our other trains are running full; which all sounds very good in print, but according to an interview held recently be, too, polite. Your actions on the train are a good indication of your actions in your homes. A new line recently acquired by this district to El Paso was drawing the attention of a number of the porters last week. It is thought that J. Sykes and W. A. Clark will cast their bids on the line, and that a number of the extra porters will also take a chance in lucking out a bid. ```markdown ``` According to reports to the Clatter, apparently some porters are forgetting that others are trying to sleep in the porters' car when they come in. We thought that this stunt had been settled by Preacher Green some time ago. Otto Johnson has blossomed out in a brand new front, and the boys are claiming that Otto received a free turkey with his glad rags. Well you cannot blame him for that, he's got to eat. Anyone out of work and desiring a barber shop porter's job, get in touch with Chas. L. Upton, 2190 W. 30th street, phone RO. 4762 between 10 a. m., and 6 p. m. E. E. Meyers and wife attended the big football game Saturday. It has not been learned whether Meyers' money went bye-bye in that air attack of Notre Dame or not. E. L. Arnaud and Al Bowden watched the game through a knot hole in the fence. Dame Rumor has it that the ax will fall on the heads of a number of porters within the week. Chas Allen claims his best friend is his pipe, and that ain't no pipe dream either! L. W. Davis has returned to work after being off for a trip. E. Woods had Mr. Fleischaker up and down the San Diego line and is now operating to Fresno. Mr. Bill Guthrie sends his best regards to E. C. Campbell. Handy Andy, the kute red cap, apparently is getting all the busaks around the popular restaurant in Frisco. H. O. Phillips is still in Mexico at this writing on a special. L. J. Green is operating in his place. It is said that Porter L. Jennings is well acquainted with Sir Thomas Lipton. The porter with the hottest car in town is Jack Wortham. D. P. Duncan and A. L. Norwood were among those who dead-beaded up to San Francisco last week. T. Taft made a trip on the one-way line to Phoenix last week. Ross and Ross located at 4124 Central avenue are good friends to all the railroad men and ask their support. Posters operating on the eSan Diego line will get their break on Christmas Day when the race start in Angola Chilete. The boys are looking forward to that day as it has always been getaway day with them, but as a rule some extra porter from some other district accidently happens in ton and gets the car with the best people. This has been the case for the past five years and the porters over there are just about fed up on the break they generally get on the day of all days—extra car getting the gravy and the regular line car getting the labor with a scant brushdown. But such is the game of rail-roading. Quite a few of the boys got their Christmas money washed away in the big football game last week. U. S. C. stands for U Should Collect, but they didn't. My boy Ritchie did not get a chance to get in the game at all. I doubt whether it would have made much difference the way Notre Dame was closing. Still I would have liked to have seen him get a chance. That Guy Mullins on the Notre Dame team, hailing from South Pasadena, seems to be a tough egg. He was not in the game five minutes when he took a swing at Baker's jaw. Of course the referee-disqualified him and tok him out. They say Harry Lewette, the Eagle sports editor, had a ringside seat on top of a telegraph pole located on exposition boulevard. You can't beat him. Wait and hear what he has to say about the game. J. Ponder says he has had a piece of mistle toe hanging over the door in his house for the last 25 years and has never been able to catch anybody under it. Somebody is missing a wonderful opportunity with the Georgia boy. Well I'm signing off for this week. Will be on the air again next week. Still I am wondering why S. A. Coffin has not phoned the Clatter and at least expressed his thanks for receiving the Clatter during the time he was in Chicago. Some people are ungrateful, and thoughtless. We will know better next time. Maybe he would have rather not had it after all, or maybe he was too busy with the gals to even read it. One thing sure, his mustache was shaved off - when he left these parts, and who knows, ah WHO KNOWS?

TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics NOTE: Please address al queries concerning this col- umn to Dr. Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU. 3419 or VA. 1221 OPMENT PROGRAM Let me have a moment to discuss a subject very vital to our race and very close to our hearts. Any nation or any race is built on its childhood and youth. Strong, healthy children and young people mean a healthy nation. One of three major classes of disease or causes of death in which the Negro is leading the United States is that of infant mortality. This means that also the Negro is leading in infant morbidity. No more serious fact could face us than this one. Through the whole civilized world nations are vying with each other to secure the lowest mortality rate in order to increase their forces. Poor, black America, the weakest and most needy of all groups with the highest infant mortality rate of them all is practically indifferent to this condition and its inevitable consequences. Tuberculosis and Infant Morbidity It is very natural for delicate weak children to develop into a race of weak and half sick men and women. I am delighted to see that a few of the most intelligent of our people over the country are considering the seriousness of this condition and it is sincerely hoped that in the future a very effective campaign will be waged by the whole race to decrease this alarming high death rate among our babies and children. X-MAS RELIEF FOR NEEDY PLANNED BY ELKS, LEGION EAGLE PRESENTS FIVE OF MOST NEEDY CASES. ASKS CITIZENS' AID Widening the scope of their activities to aid the needy, the Ben Bowie Post of the American Legion and the Golden Wist Lodge of the Elks will not only furnish the kiddies with toys and entertainment but will make an added effort to see that food, clothing and wherever possible employment for their parents are provided to make this Christmas season a happy one for hundreds of unfortunate little children. The usual Christmas Tree with entertainment, candy and toys will be provided at the Lincoln Theatre through the generosity of Jules Wolfe, manager, who has donated his theatre and candy for the occasion. All of the children are invited and it is expected that throngs of them will attend. But this is an unusual season with its hundreds of unemployed and the suffering consequent on that unemployment. It is the hope of the Elks and the Veterans that they in conjunction with other fraternal and religious orders may alleviate some of this suffering. For that purpose Lester B, Granger, secretary of the local Urban League, has been made organization chairman on a Legion committee that will ferret out needy cases and try to provide for them. Citizens are urged to aid in every manner possible, a corps of workers is needed to aid in the solicitation, preparation and distribution of food-stuffs and supplies to these needy families. SURELY SOMEBODY CARES In order to show the dire needs that exist in the community social workers helped Eagle reporters prepare this list of five of the most needy cases. The list is by no means complete and could be enlarged to more than a hundred. These are just samples and if any person, after reading the facts here desires to help in any manner he is urged to call at the Urban League office at 2504 Central or phone ADAmts 4371 and offer whatever aid he can. Remember nothing is small in this case. CASE A A woman who lives on 23rd street has been deserted by her husband and has two little children, one ten, one 14 years old to care for. When discovered by social workers the woman was living in a house bare of all furniture and with a pile of quilts on which to sleep. The gas was turned off, there were no lights and she is unable to find work. One of the children is threatened with blindness. This woman is not eligible for county relief because she has not been in the city long enough. But if she returns to Oakland, her former home, the health of her children is threatened. CASE B There are 11 children in this family ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened IT SEEMS TO ME— L. B. GRANGER It seems to me the ages-old question never dies, 'Which came first, the hen or the egg?' In every question of racial policy, disputants are bound to disagree on the matter of method of attack. To cure a serious evil, which should be handled first, the causes underlying the evil, or the immediate results of the evil? Economic authorities are busy with the unemployment question. A. The problem con- L. B. Granger stantly arises, shall we devote most of our time to relieving present distress, or shall we make the most of matters as they are and apply our efforts to seeing that a similar condition shall not arise again? Which is more important, to feed those who starve at present, or to see that our children shall not go hungry in the years to come? To-answer such a question requires more than the wisdom of Solomon. It demands in addition the brass effrontery of a Bob Shuler. I write the foregoing paragraph merely to indicate some of the difficulties in which the Urban League finds itself when it goes to work on problems of our community. Consider the matter of finding jobs for Negroes. We have often been asked why we do not seek to institute a Chicago Whip campaign here in Los Angeles. To tell the truth, we have often been tempted. Such a campaign is spectacular, certainly. Whatever results it brings are quick and easily understood. And yet, are those results the ends which we are seeking? Is our main purpose merely to secure jobs for Negroes in business concerns which depend upon Negro patronage? Or are we principally concerned with making it possible for the Negro worker to find work wherever he is able to handle it, regardless it a black face ever enters the store or factory as a customer? When we place Negro clerks in a Central Avenue department store, we have provided a job for that particular individual and added that much income to our racial wealth. We have not, however, advanced materially toward that ultimate aim, that state of economic freedom wherein the black, white, and yellow workers will toil side by side, finding work wherever they can perform it, the only barrier to their advancement being the barriers of their own individual abilities. If the Urban League, if the various committees and conferences seem to go slowly and sometimes hesitantly, remember that this is a new field which is being explored. The elephant, upon coming to a bridge across a river, always pauses to test the bridge's strength. Gingerly and delicately he puts forth a foot and presses upon the structure. If it seems sound, he puts more weight, and yet more weight, and finally takes the first step. Once assured that the bridge will not fall, he takes confidence and marches briskly forward. If a beast of the jungle can take such precautions for his own individual safety, surely as much care can be expected of an organization to which is intrusted much of the welfare of an entire community. which lives on 25th street. The children range in age from infants to 21. Neither the father, the mother or the older children can find work. The family is destitute and without adequate food, clothing or heat. Anything that children of almost any age can use will be helpful for them. CASE C Dread tuberculosis has invaded a home on 40th street where there is a father incapacitated for work by the ravages of this disease, one of two children suffering from it and the mother suspected of having it. This man is a war veteran and is unable to work. Perhaps his wife might work a little if she could find some light tasks. The children need clothes and other common comforts of life. An old father of 78 with a family of six adults at his home and none of them able to find employment could be much cheered at this Christmas season if someone could help the sons and daughters find some work. Meanwhile any kind of aid that such a family needs would be welcome and would provide the family with a little Christmas cheer. CASE E Two other children who live on 15th street have a tubercular father without work. Their mother is struggling as best she can to make "ends meet" and is hopeful that some person who has clothing to spare which will fit the needs of her kiddies will be kind enough to donate it to them. The children are small and she is anxious to keep them in school if she can. She has had no regular work for some time and would appreciate any kind of employment. Community Builders Twenty Four Years On One Job The Success Secret Of One Of The City's Foremost Citizens WATCH CALIFORNIA EAGLE, NEXT ISSUE WITH SANTA WATCH. CALIFORNIA EAGLE, NEXT ISSUE WITH SANTA CLAUS By LOREN MILLER Twenty-four years on one job with the loss of only a single day is the secret of success of a man who has risen in that time from one of a force of 13 janitors to become chief of all the janitors and superintendent of elevator operators for the county building with 184 people in his charge and in addition to that the head of one of the foremost business institutions in the city. That man is L. G. Robinson, chief janitor and superintendent of elevator starters of Los Angeles County Buildings and president of the Angelus Funeral Home, 1030 East Jefferson street. He is a busy man who takes his job, his civic responsibilities and his diverse interests seriously. A dozen times when he was being interviewed the telephone rang and it rang for all sorts of calls from those connected with his immediate occupation to personal appeals from friends who have learned that "L. G." is never too busy to aid the needy. "Now there is somebody who wants one of my men to pay an overdue bill," he explains as he turns from the telephone in that god natured way of his, "it is one of our rules that our men must pay their honest obligations. If they don't, they can't work here." Educated in the public schools of Barnesville, Georgia, where he was born, and in Paine and Knoxville Colleges, Robinson came to Los Angeles on January 2, 1904, (he has an unannoy memory for cates). That was Saturday. The next Monday he went to work at the Pasadena Hospital, where he worked for two years, next he worked the city of Pasadena for a year. Transferring himself to the county buildings, he has been there ever since. In that time the force has grown from one of 13 janitors to one with 118 janitors, 35 elevator men and six maids with a sufficient clerical force and assistants to total a force of 184. It is Robinson's job to oversee all of their work. Overseeing their tasks is more than WATCH CALIFORN The body of a man found dead on the track of the Pacific Electric railway right of way last Saturday was identified as that of Charles Wilson of Watts. Wilson was a junk man. a job with this remarkable man. It is a labor of love. He is interested in their whole lives and there are many stories told of the times he has come to their rescue in all sorts of ways. Once a week the force gathers for lectures on what Robinson describes as "community building." At these times there are talks on thrift, on religion and similar topics. Once a month an outsider comes in to talk on some subject of more than ordinary interest. His parents, who were both born before the Civil War and are now 86 years old, tended their son for the ministry. He has never completely departed from that training and during his early days served as pastor of Scott's Chapel M. E. Church in Pasadena. Four years of that time he served the congregation without pay. Now his duties preclude his devoting his entire time to a pastorate but he still serves as assistant pastor of the church. But if he has not remained in the ministry he has never forgotten the simple lessons of charity and love the church taught him. Characteristically modest, he made no mention of his philanthropies but his friends remember and tell of the many times, "L. G." has come to the aid of some luckless individual who was about to lose his home or needed help of some kind. Men's good deeds themselves are bound to breed jealousies and success has its drawbacks for it engenders ennities and if there are those carping crities who assail Robinson at the slightest excuse there are a thousand friends for every one of those enemies and if the lengthy story of this man's amazing personal sacrifices for the public good were told the critics would be a browned out in a chorus of praise. No less successful than his conduct of his public position is the story of the business institution Robinson heads. Taking hold of the Angelus Funeral home when it was a struggling, weak, little youngster, Robinson and NIA EAGLE, NEXT IS CLAUS ARRESTE TWO FOR POSTOFFICE ROBBERY One man and one woman have been arrested by federal authorities for complicity in the robbery of the branch: postoffice located in Henderson's store at the corner of 12th and JOHN H. L. G. ROBINSON his associates have brought the home to one of preeminence and it offers the latest word in service and sympathy in a business where feelings are tender and situations delicate. Associated with him in the enterprise are J. L. Hill, vice-president; F. G. Hill, treasurer and Lorenzo Bowdoin, secretary. The home employs five men and one woman, Mrs. Sophie L. Smith, Mgr., and is filled with modern equipment. In the midst of this whirl pool of busy life, Robinson has found time to raise two children, a son—John Robinson—who is now 29 years old and a twelve year old daughter—Ethel Mgr. Not only has he provided for his wife and children but he takes care of his aged father and mother who live in the city. "I ought to say something about my wife," Robinson says, "still I don't know what I can say for the wonderful way she has helped me all these years." He lapses off as he remembers their long struggle from the time of their marriage in Barnesville, Georgia, the trip to the West, their early days in Pasadena and finally the beautiful home on East Adams street. It is a romantic story of achievement of a man who has done his job well, who has treated his neighbors as himself and who finds himself at middle age the center of civic and community interest. It is a lesson for those who decry prejudice and wail of its handicaps. There have been no handicaps for L. G. Robinson. His reward is the esteem of his fellow citizens. ISSUE WITH SANTA Central Avenue. The man whose name was given as Jones, was arrested in Bakersfield after he ha desashed a money order in San Diego. The woman, Mary Bigelow, was arrested when she attempted to cash a money order at Vernon and Central Avenues. Victims of Tragic Accident Policyholders In Golden State The Golden State Insurance Company onde again appeared in the lineheight of service when Mip C. D. Robinson and Mrs. Christina Preer two of Los Angeles' most prominent citizens met with a tricig auto accident which cost both of them their lives early Thanksgiving morn while en route to the Old Folks' Home in Watts on a charitable mission. While the newspapers carried a full and accurate account of the accident and funeral services, the fact that both Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Preer carried insurance policies in the Golden State was not known until claims were filed at the Home Office of the Company. These deaths brought the total number of deaths from automobile accidents to Golden State policyholders up to six for this year. In the instance of Mrs. Robinson, the deceased had been insured only since October and had opportunity to pay but one month's premium; while in the case of Mrs. Preer, her policy was less than a year old. Their relatives were surprised to receive settlement for the full face value of the policies. The beneficiaries of both were greatly pleased with the prompt Golden State service. They commented on the fact that though the deceased carried policies in other companies, the Golden State was the first to settle its insurance obligations. So pleased was the husband of Mrs. Robinson that both he and his son, John W. Robinson, Jr., immediately expressed desires to increase their life insurance in the olden State. Nothing is more responsible for the phenominal growth of the Golden State Insurance Company than its prompt and sympathetic claim service to policyholders. During the present year the Company has paid to policyholders and beneficiaries over $72,500.00 and more than $300,000.00 since organization. Shots Disturb Sunday Morning Slumbers While nestled beneath warm covers getting their early Sunday morning beauty sleep, about 5 A.M., Mr. and Mrs. Jas. E. Bruce of 1149 E. 49th street were awakened by stray shots that penetrated their bed room window. Coasting clear through the house, the bullet broke a mirror in the adjoining room. The Bruces were bewildered as to the origin of the shooting, but their fears were quelled when their next door neighbor, a Mr. Dickson, assured them that he had fired at what he took to be a burglar at his window and not expecting the shots to go wild. BEGIN CAMPAIGN FOR BISHOPRIC Columbia, S. C. Dec. 10.—Active promotion of the candidacy of Dr. T. J. Miles, a member of the church extension board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, for bishop, was begun here this week when Dr. Miles yielded to the pressure of friends and permitted them to announce his candidacy. Election of Bishops will be held at the general conference in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1932. Dr. Miles has a statewide reputation as a pastor and presiding elder. He is reported to be the ablest financier the church possesses in the state. New York, Dec. 10 By A. N. P. Mrs. William Wolfe, wife of the principal of Bowling Green Acadamy Kentucky, a National Missions Institution for colored boys and girls, has ben elected elder in the Bowling Gren Church, according to an announcement by the Presbyterian Board of National Missions. With this announcement Mrs. Wolfe becomes teh first colored woman elder in the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1930 MUSICAL WEST CONDUCTED BY JOHN One of the bitterest things to encounter in life is disappointment. Especially after one has labored long and assiduously and has spent hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars in the effort to accomplish a certain thing. And yet much of this effort, time and money could have been saved had the individual placed the proper valuation upon his ability at the outset. The subject of a career in music is one that must be given a great amount of study and deliberation before the first attempt at launching upon it. These pertinent questions confront every aspirant: How much money have I? How much talent have I? Have I the required amount of time for study? Is my age against me? How much personality and magnetism have I? Am I willing to sacrifice everything for my career? After taking stock of one's self the student will be better prepared to begin his work. One of the most pitiful conditions to meet is the poor, untalented student who has the idea that he is going to become a great artist someday. Such students will not welcome the advice of the more experienced persons and they struggle on and on for years sometimes before they finally give up. In this age of specialization one must begin quite young to lay the foundation for future building upon. A child should have the best training from the time he is four years old, which is about as early as he can begin. At the age of fifteen he should have a good technical foundation if he is an instrumentalist. If he is a vocalist he should have a good musical foundation also in some instrument and above all in the Theory of music. Actually voice lessons should not begin before the age of fifteen because the voice has to mature and in the case of the boy, it has to change entirely. This is the age when he should ask himself the above questions. An instrumentalist who begins a career without previous foundation at the age of fifteen has a very slim chance of succeeding. The vocalist who begins a career at the age of twenty-five without a previous foundation is wasting time and money. But in each case there must be more than the average amount of talent to even warrant the beginning of such a career. Taking the most talented student at an early age, and giving him the best instruction obtainable, will mean that a sum of several thousand dollars must be ready for the time when he is to make his debut. He then must work very hard to attain success. What chance then has the poor, untalented student without preparation? We do not advise any student to begin his course of study with the idea in mind of becoming a great artist, but rather with the idea of learning as much about the heart as possible in order to be able to appreciate the beauty and nobility of the same. He should consider this study as a part of the cultural background of his general education. If there is genius or exceptional talent present it will manifest itself and naturally. We warmly recommend the reading of the book, "Success in music and how it is won" by H. Fink. It can be found in the public library. The information contained in this book will be of great value to any music student.

In this period Mr. Mesick's organization has solo sixty seven lots at Val Verde Properties, and when one takes into consideration the fact that most people are crying hard times, and that the holidays are almost on us, it merely means that deep thinking and far sighted persons are taking advantage and grasping the opportunities offered. I am aso informed by Mr. Mesick that he personally has handed to Mr. Winner of the Forestry Department of the County of Los Angeles, a deed to forty more acres, which the County will use for Park purposes, which deed includes the site for the open air Bowl which the County plans building. There is nothing like this in the Country that we know of in connection with a Public Park This is merely a few of the reasons why you should make it a habit of spending your holidays and Sundays at beautiful Val Verde. The movement for the change in the name of the streets to those of famous men of the race and other benefactors is assuming definite shape.

LOVELL) The Rev. Daniel G. Hill, Jr., pastor of Bethel A. M., E. church, of Port- land, Ore. and recent graduate of the school of Applied Social Science o ftke Unfversity, of Oregon, was one of the principal spzakers before the ‘fayst’ Amfity Dinner given under the auspices of the Bahai Assembly of Portland at the famous Lincoln Ball: Foom of Theile’s on Thursday, Nov- 20th, 1930. ‘Speaking on the subject, “Explor. ing New Fields,” Rey. Hill evinced’ a deep interest and an authorative Khowledge in the field of Sociology. Hé told his hearers that scientific re- searel: in the fields of Anthropology, Ethnology, Religion and Sociology has disclosed the fact that all man- kind is essentially one. “But” satd he, “people have been very slow to accept these findings and still more reluctant to explore new fields.” This rE reluctance is seen, particularly, in the realm-of race relations. Racial characteristics which are due, to in vironmental influence, he intimated, aye in no sense a hindrance to free and beneficial social intercourse, but rather tend to enhance the. contribé- tion which a particular erpun may make to a cosmopolitan society. The speaker suggested that gather. ings of this kind, which was attended by Chinese, Japanese, Négroes and various nationalities of whites, won!d goa long wey toward breaking down are-old prejudices and dogmatic notions. Knowledge that comes from association, he pointed out, can easily remove ideas which for the most part may be entirely erroneous, especial ly as regards different wacial types. Rev, Hill, who, while continuing Als studies a tthe University of Ore- gon, ‘finds time to serve as. Probation Officer of the Court of Domestic Ke lations of Multnomah County, re ceived @ great ovation at this Amity Dinnen which was attended by nearly two hundred people, among whom were prominent judges, lawyers, mer. chants, ministers, social workers civic leaders and péople of variout walks of life. The large - representation of Ne groes present were especially proud of the splendid impression made. bj Rev.

J. A. Alexander The Fifth Episcopal Nistrict of the A.M. E. Church is launching an in- tensive drive for soul-saving and spir- itual improvement. The effort is the conception of Bishop John A. Gregg, presiding bishop of the district, and the success so far is due to his aggressive leadership in this work. Bshop Gregg contends that the soluton of the prob- Jem of the ‘church fies in increase of spirituality among its members a the increase of membership by the conversion of Souls; and by this moye- ment he belleves his contentions will be sustained. On November 6, the Committee on Evangelism for the North’ Missoari Conference met at Columbia, Missouri and| formulated plans for our con- ference. Briefly these plans* includs: (1) One major campaign to be held aN St Joseph, Missouri, Decembe? 7 ‘or December. 28. (2) Campaigns :fo be conducted simultaneously in the various charges of the Conference, un- der supervision of the Pastors or evan- gtlists whom the pastors may select. (3) Dally reports will be sent to head- quarter, at St. Joeph, giving account of the work in progress, and from headquarters will be sent messages. to the workers for their advice and en- couragement. In and for this Conference, there will be conducted at Moberly 2 great summer campaign to be in progress lurifig the entire month of July, and the ministers of the entire conference vill participate, For this campaign al- -eady atrangements ar¢ in progress. lead by presiding elders T, W. Kidd, 2. S. Bowman, and M. S. Bryant. The unusual feature of this move ment is the’ fact that Bishop Gregg aot only is the promoter and .chie lirector of the eampaign, but he wil 1 Sé present at all Of the’ major—camm oaigns and will be an active partici vant in the work, In regard to this the comment is that it means the dawt fa new day for evangelism among he Negro Churches and the begin: ning of greater spiritual activity afte he long period of worldliness and in: difference. , This movement extends t he entire Fifth Episcopal District, anc -ampaigns on thé same order will be conducted within and for each annua | onfercnee.

THEY DESERVE IT; 204 NORTH EVERGREEN - ~ ___ ANgelus 5968 | EDITORIAL PAGE THE EAGLE'S PLATFORM The hiring of Negroes as a matter of right, rather than as a concession, in those institutions where their patronage creates a demand for labor. The increased participation of Negroes in municipal, state and national government. The abolition of enforced segregation and all other artificial barriers to the recognition of true merit. The patronizing of Negroes by Negroes as a matter of principle. The more rapid development of those communities in which Negroes live, by co-operation between citizens and those ewho have business investments in such communities. An enthusiastic support for, and a greater degree of service at the hands of all social, civic, charitable and religious institutions. The recurrence of mob violence against innocent Filipinos in the shape of the bombing at Imperial ought to draw a militant protest from the Negroes of this state. In the first place, simple justice requires that every right thinking citizen use whatever influence he can muster to compel law enforcement officers to protect men who have committed no crime save that of working at jobs that other men want. The right of men to be secure against manifestations of mob violence is an especially vital one to the American Negro. We have suffered too much from unjust persecutions at the hands of the lawless ourselves to become callous to the rights and liberties of others. And it is well to remember that a successful triumph of one mob but whets the appetites of other hoodlums for blood. If California fails to protect its Filipino citizens it may become lax when we face the same conditions. The sort of violence perpetrated at Imperial is but the expression of the economic conflict. Filipinos have appeared in numbers enough in certain parts of this state to threaten white men's jobs and white men strive to drive them away by intimidating them. Mobs are no respectors of race and if enough Negroes come to California to threaten white men's jobs we may expect the same sort of treatment unless vigorous steps are taken to punish those responsible. There is no doubt but that the presence of large numbers of Filipinos creates a problem for this state. In the same fashion the presence of large numbers of Negroes creates a problem for the nation. But the solution of neither of these problems lies in the use of extra-legal means. We are all here and all entitled to work and earn a livelihood, Filipinos, Negroes and whites, alike. Violence will not solve the problem of unemployment, it will but aggravate it. California mobs, whether their activities are directed against one class of citizens or another class, are a disgrace to the State. They must be stamped out before they brand this State as they have some of the Southern states. If we don't do our part to thwart them now we may expect to awake some morning and find them howling at our own doorsteps. Louis Thibault, French Canadian living in Vermont, and two pints of illicit whiskey, have brought before the United States Circuit Court at New York some of the most noted interpreters of Constitutional law. In this case they are serving without free, and the object is to prove that the 18th Amendment is unconstitutional. In this great galaxy of legal talent are such names as Seldon Bacon; Jeremiah M. Evarts; Daniel F. Cohalan; former New York Supreme Court Justice, and H B. Amey, who is appearing for the Government. It is disclaimed that this is a question of the eighteenth amendment but whether the people of the United States are a free and independent people. Article 5 and Amendment 10 are quoted freely in the argument. Article 5 of the Constitution provides for amendment by congressional action ratified by legislature or state conventions in three fourths of the states. The Counsel argue that the 10th Amendment, which reads, that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The argument is, that the 10th Amendment was made to reserve to the people themselves, not the states, the power of granting the federal government further authority over themselves and their individual rights, and that the amendments like the eighteenth "must be ratified by the people in the various states." Many seem to think that a decision favoring the appellant would have a pernicious effect. That it would endanger other amendments like the 14 and 15th. As far as the Negro is concerned those two amendments need not be engrossed in the Constitution. They have never been enforced. Their nullification has been flaunted in the face of the Government right under the Dome of the Capitol. Billions are being spent to shackle the liberty of the nation as to what it shall eat or drink, but say something about enforcement of the two amendment which would secure the citizenship rights of the Negro and there will be a stampede for the "tall timber" from the Head of the nation down. Nothing exciting has happened the first week of the sitting of Congress. A few parliamentary skirmishes on the part of the anti-probi's to test their strength and appropriations tended to relieve unemployment were offered by the solons. The message of the President failed to incite any controversy. The majority of editorial opinions being, the it was inane. It dealt with questions of economic and industrial matters generally. Of Prohibition it said no word. It was dropped like the, proverbial monkey, dropped the "hot potato." As far as the amendments to the Constitution, which guarantees full citizenship to all citizens and is nullified in many states of the Union, there was no mention. Great indignation is expressed against the crimes of the "rackateer" and the "bootleger" but nothing condemning the crimes of the mob in their lynching orgies. The threat to inject the "World Court controversy at this session created consternation among administration adherents. Some of them want the protocol (should it be submitted this session) pigeonholed in committee. To date it has not been presented, but it is promised for Monday, Dec. 8th. Senator Borah, one of the unrelenting foes of the World Court, informs that he will not vote to keep the measure in committee but will seek to send it to the floor of the Senate for open discussion and an early vote. An active citizen in the game of politics brought up the Judge Parker incident and the part Negro voters played in the defeat of those senators who voted with the Administration in support of Parkers appointment to the U. S. supreme court justiceship. He cited the opposition at the primaries to Senator Allen, Kansas, who was later defeated for election. He wound up by asking if it was possible that the Negro voters of California would forget that Senator Samuel M.

One thing different between the Negro voter of California and Kansas is, Kansas voters recognize a principle; California voters pay undue recognition to promises. The California Senator has been long on promises. But that is nothing! January 1st, 1931 will mark the centenary of the first publication of "THE LIBERATOR" the militant anti-slavery journal edition and published by William Lloyd Garrison. When opposition to this courageous stand against slavery, was bitterly opposed even in New England Garrison retorted with the sentence which aroused the foes of slavery to greater action; "I am in earnest; I will not equivocate; I will not excuse; I will not retreat one single inch, and I will be HEARD!" He said: It took courage to champion the cause of the slave. While many were opposed to the slave system, there was great division in opinion to the method that should be used in its abrogation. William Lloyd Garrison was a militant champion. He dared social ostracism; Faced poverty, and challenged death that human slavery might be abolished from the nation. John Brown, speaking before the court which condemned him to the gallows, said: "Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments—I submit; so let it be done!" Speaking on the death of John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison said, "The slave-holder with his hands dripping in blood will I make a compact with him? The man who plundered cradles—will I say to him: Brother, let us walk together in unity? The man who, to gratify his lust or his anger, scourges woman with the lash till the soil is red with her blood—will I say to him: Give me your hand; let us form a glorious union? No, never—never! There can be no union between us." The N. A. A. C. P. has suggested that Jan. 1st, 1931 be dedicated to service in commemoration o f that date one hundred years ago, when the fight was being waged for human liberty. It is fitting: Although we have not reached the full attainment of citizen rights, we should not forget the depths from which we came, but in retrospection should resolve to fulfill the hopes of those, who gave of their all, to unshaclke the chains of human slavery. ***** Rolph is losing no time in the exception of some of the for publication.

Dear Sir: Please permit me to say, a few words in your valuable paper in regards to your Editorials of last week. under the caption: "Adjusting Differ- ences" and "Independence." Being very much impressed with the two editors mentioned above, I beg to be permitted to say the following in regards to same. First of all, I wish to commend the Women's Industrial Council for at least making an effort along this line. First quoting a passage of scripture which reads something like this: "Come and let us reason together." This would be a terrible world if everybody was of the same opinion, would not? It is bad enough as it is, and it is high time someone made a start in the right direction. The Women's Industrial Council, no doubt is very much desirous of helping in some way that would be beneficial to the race and they should T MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION arker nomination.

But it is a matter of fact that it is nothing strange neither new, that they did not get the support of the so-called professional members of our race. Some might term it a matter of selfishness, and in some cases that could be true, but my idea is, that it is the lack of confidence in each other, and we have no rightful reason to be so much more so, than any other race. But the mere reason of it is the race hasn't been taken care of, because with each other as a whole, as honest always bring confidence with any one. Sure we have had failures individually and collectively in every kind of organization, so have all other races even today, but tell me how many of the other races that have turned to us for help by begging us to give them jobs? They are rising up like a mushroom over night and starting over a new, and making progress. Where are the people of our race in L. A. today-banking their money, buying their food and clothing of every description and a thousand and one other things that we must have each day in order to live? Can you see any jobs in these unmistakable facts for our people? We are supposed to have been here long enough for us not to SPECIAL ARTICLES :STUDENT EXPRESSIONS : WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE What is your message? Everyone came to earth with a message for mankind. Jesus, Buddha, and Socrates came with a message. They spoke it, lived it. Hammurabi, Moses, and Justinian came with a message. They codified it into laws that speak Phidias, Michelangelo, and Rodin had a message. They gave it to the world embodied in sculpture, painting, and architecture. Kepler, Newton, and Bacon had a message. They gave it to mankind through the media of scientific laws and principles. Spinoza, Kant, and Nietzsche had a message. They clothed it in the scholarly apparel of philosophy. Hannibal, Caesar, and Foch had a message. They dispatched it in the form of a military career. Shakespeare, Keats, and Dunbar spoke to the world through sonnets. Cervantes, Dickens, and DeFoe chose to tell stories. Edison, Tesli, and Marconi said theirs with inventions. be depending upon other races for our substances, and it is the goodness of the other races to employ us for porters and the like. Self preservation is the first law of nature, most any one will help those who help themselves. You may know wherein you speak, but this is where we differ. I cannot see for the life of me, where we hold any special claim on the other fellow's jobs. The Chinese, Japanese, Italians and other races have wonderful enterprises, we can do likewise if we will, and that in my opinion will be the key to the solution to help the unemployed among us of our race. We as a race should look back, and think of where we came from, and see if it is not true that our freedom was not the results of... the prayers and tears and hard suffering of our forefathers and mothers. Brother we are stravying too far from our teaching of Christ and the Holy Bible, and until we stop and recant, God will ever turn his back to the people who turn their back on him. Even Abram, Moses and a good many of God's chosen leaders who disobeyed his word to an extent are punished for it. Keeping up with the style and the sports of today, are costing the people enough money to have built enterprises enough to employ several thousand of our people. How do we expect to gain more jobs from other races, when some of our race, when they get in a position to employ some one, employ members of another race? Under the pretense that they do not know how to do the work. How did they learn? Do they think that any one else can't learn as they did? Is this not the case in L. A. in some cases? Some of us are too apt to try and get about our own race. If the professional members of our race do not think that the advancement of the rank and file of our race is not to their advantage and interest, let them keep it up, and we will see how long they will last in their profession. Come now, and let us reason together. Instead of spending so much money for sport and this high life, standing around with our hands in our pockets up to our neck, looking wise and acting otherwise, let's see what we can do. I listened to a radio address the other night of the eminent Mr. Clarence Saunders, relating how he, from a bare foot boy going to school, had a vision of a big business, and when he saw the it all. We did he stop? NO! I should say-what, and after making a fortune, lost it all. But did he stop? ONE may ask, what did he do he said? He that he borrowed $12,000 today is doing business in 8 stores under his own name. Haven't we 12 men in L. A. today with 1-12 of the money he borrowed, with 1-12 of the courage, that are willing to open 6 stores to start with? Well, they might say that they haven't the time to stay in them. Mr. Saunders does not stay in his. A central supply house where the other stores could be supplied from, where you could buy supplies on a large scale in order to buy-them at a price where you could compete with other stores and then place the retail stores in easy reach like the other people, and then put on an educational program, to educate our people to trade with their own stores should help. If the members of our race are of the right spirit, a program of this nature would be unnecessary. Perhaps our main excuse would be dispelled. We usually hear that our people sell too high or the food is not fresh, you know that you don't have Disraeli, Gladstone, and Wilson used statesmanship as their vehicle. St. Paul, Augustine, and Wesley delivered their message through evangelisms. Babe Ruth, Red Grange spoke their speech thru sports. Voltaire, Paine, and Ingersoll came lively anything. They rendered their splendid deliveries in the form of earnest denunciations, honest doubts. June Addams, Joan of Arc, and Florence Nightengale and lived their message in unselfish service to humanity. Sun Yat Sen, Bismark, and Bolivar expressed themselves in establishing republics. Columbus, Perry and Hyrd said their bit in intrepid explorations. Budha, Ramesses, Goethe, Omar-Kyahm, Euclid, Paderewski, Hayes-Lenin, Kreisler and Mary Baker Eddy brought a message for man. The housewife, the servant, the day labor all come to make adelivery, whether they succeed or not they were sent to spread their tiding. You have message. I have a message. Everybody has a message for the world. Who's to blame, it is not spoken? to have very much of an excuse. Being too high is a very good one, because in the first place, our funds are very limited and cannot buy on a large scale that would permit, one to sell at a reasonable price and make a profit Why don't the various organizations of the city that spend so much money sufficient to maintain an enterprise, yearly for sport, dances, suppers and whatnot and spend it to build up enterprises of various kinds? They don't all have to open grocery stores. Don't we wear clothing of every kind? Don't we have to have whatever kind we wear cleansed some time? Where do you send your clothes to have them pressed; washed and whatever there is to be done to them? If the members' of our race here are not able to do these things for us, what will the other fellow think when we go to them loking for a job doing the same thing? It doesn't take but a few things to turn the trick. First is honest efforts and money and hard work and a fair price coupled up with faithful service will put the job over. Sure we need leaders, and if there is no one in L. A. who can lead us we are doomed. The trouble with leadership does not always lie in the inability to lead, the bulk of the trouble can be easily attributed to the fact that the most of the people are unwilling to follow a leader, when they have one. Dishonesty, which covers all manner of wilful destruction of other's property is the cause of unwillingness to do a thing as a unit, but are the only race with dishonest people? No, not on your sweet life, the daily papers will bear me up on this. This attitude must be broken down, let's show to the world that it can be done. Let us devote more to useful employment in our homes, churches, clubs, lodge room and all other organizations, and put God before us to lead us to a higher level of employment and enjoyment and quit sending souls to hell, having what we call a good time, and spend our Sunday in serving the Lord as we should. God is the author and finisher of every good and perfect gift, and until we learn to put him before us and follow his leadership, failure awaits us. None of us are perfect, Lindberg flew to Paris, how many lives have been lost trying to do the same thing, but have they quit trying? Well then why should we quit trying to save our own hides? I know personally of a man in a city in one of the south-eastern states who started a tailoring and pressing business in what you would call a hole in a wall twelve years ago, he has moved three times to take care of his expansion, and today he is estimated to be a business worth right around $100,000. His trade is by no means confined to the colored people of that city, if a colored man can do that in what you Angelenos call a jim-crow city, what is the troubles with L, A? Members of the women's Industrial Council, we've drifted down stream too long now, depending upon others for help, let us try it up stream a while. Let everyone of us check on ourselves, and see if there is not a colored brother that can do what we want done regardless to what it is, and let us see if that will not give employment to some of our boys and girls, and men and women, who today are out of employment. It can be done. I think that it is at least worth trying. Suppose we try it 'any way? I beg to remain. Yours very truly, JOHN H.

While the ordinary, every-day affairs and actions of the people may not be the press, apparently, has been so uniquely unconcerned as to the general life of the community in mention, that the planking up of a few possibly colorful acts, acknowledging of a myriad of the worthy and creditable acts have imposed an unbalanced and undeserved reputation This organization is desirous of seeing every criminal action in the so-called Central Avenue District and in every part of the city of Los Angeles properly prosecuted. It particularly deplores the fact that banditry, brutal assaults upon helpless women, and other major crimes, are becoming increasingly common and alarming all over the city. It joins with other civic bodies in sympathizing with a reformed administration which, in its second year of power, is forced to excuse its apparent inability to cope with the situation by magnifying, beyond all proportion, its one actual catch of three coloured men allegedly connected with petty vice of the misdemeanor variety. It does not condone any criminal. But, on behalf of the approximate 25.000 industrious, law-shifting, peace-loving, and church-going taxpayers and the approximate 500 business and professional people of the Central Avenue Community, it volces in disapproval of propaganda which soaks the vice and corruption which rampant all over this great city, which emphasizes the false and distorted position in which Central Avenue has been placed, and which is especially detrimental to business and to property values in the said community.

UPPER-CUTS AND BLOCKS PETER By LEVETTE HARRY PITIFL POSING PAULIE GANS SAYS "HELLO CAL." Now as to the hold that Sports especially boxing and football have on the nation, and as to how any big event crowds out every thing else in point of interest, let them hark back to last Friday and Saturday. Up until the last down was made in that never to be forgotten 27 to 0 fall of Troy every one you passed was talking about Notre Dame and the Trojans. Lord and Peasant; Preacher and Gun-man; the Colonel's lady and Mrs. Grady were all of one kindred, all excited over the game. When 90,000 people of all stations in life fight and mill into the vast Coliseum it proves that the appeal of Sports is greater now than in the days of ancient Greece. Why those old Athenians were pilkers to what our rabid fans are now. PAULIE WALKER proved to the satisfaction of many a fan and quick-eyed expert at the Olympic the other night against Mike Payan that he should be starring in a movie "Feinting Fouls" or "Easy Way Walker." Although he fouled Payan a couple of times himself, the first of the few times Mike hit him landed on the stomach and he tried to claim a foul as he did on clean ficting SAMY JACKSON. But the referee, Duke Kentworthy would not allow it and "Pensive Paulie" had to work the whole te nrounds. The fans would jeer "fopl" every time Mr. Walker got a punch below his shoulders. He looked bad and Payan still worse, so the referee gave the sorry poorly attended (battle?) to Walker. Sammy would have K.O.d the San Diego Mexican in a few stanzas. BABY GANS· smiles pleasantly any- how but what a broad grin spread over his face when he stepped to the door of his sleeper at the S. P. station last Tuesday morning and saw that glorious California sunshine lighting up the early morning and spreading over the Central Avenue that saw him start. Babe came back to fight Divcdi, but two years have made him homesick for his thousands of friends of all races. He would have come back anyhow for the Holidays, so he says Quail Hunters Will Have Difficult Time Quail hunters will find it more difficult than ever before to successfully pursue their favorite sport, according to reports from scouts of the outing bureau of the Automobile Club of So. California who have been caking a survey during the past week. The season opens December 1st. While birds were located in many sections, it was noted that in many of the former reliable shooting grounds the prospects was not bright. NASHVILLE GIANTS PLAY BRAWLEY NATIONALS SUNDAY AT WHITE SOX PARK NASHVILLE GIANTS PLAY BRAWLEY NATIONALS SUNDAY AT WHITE SOX PARK BABY JOE GANS MEETS BABE ANDERSON AT OLYMPIC, TUES. Adding new life to the Winter League baseball race, the Brawley Nationals cross bats with the Nashville Giants next Sunday. Dec. 14th in a double-header. The team from the Imperial Valley will give the colored boys good opposition THE BASEBALL PLAYER WILLIAMS SMACKS A HOMER On Saturday, Dec. 13 the San Luis Mexicans play Nashville. Saturday's game starts at 2:15. Sunday the first game starts at 1:30. For the first time since two years ago this month, Baby Joe Gans, "the young master," will listen to thousands of white and colored friends raise the roof at Doyles Olympic Auditorium. Next Tuesday night he climbs thru the ropes, he has so often entered and meets Babe Anderson, who is classed as one of the best welterweights in the country. Weighing only 135 to 140 he has met the best welters in the country most always giving away from one to seven pounds. He swept Madison Square Garden off its feet turning them away by thousands at his first appearance there. Since he left following the death of Lary Lichenilen formerly co-manager with Cherokee Tom Cox, his discoverer, he has beaten such tough boys as Joe Trabon, Cuddy DeMarco, Hilario Martinez and others. One of his greatest wins was over a year ago when he got up from a knock-down in the first round to give Ham Jenkins, the colored Denver idol the worst licking and cutting-up in career. That Baby packs a wallop was proven in his eastern bouts as he has won over 50 quick knock-outs on his record. If the original Joe Gans could have seen the way his protoge was welcomed back home Tuesday it would have done his heart good. Quite a little crowd was there even for the early hour. Curtis Carpentier, former manager of the Lincoln; Lightening Davis, well-known boxer; Edward Thompson, Lafayette Player star; Harry Levette, Eagle Sports Editor and Gans family were among those who formed a reception committee to greet the returned wanderer. Spic and span in brown suit, hat and brown suede shoes, he looked like the Beau Brummel of Broadway. Crowds that gathered around him on Central avenue were proof of his great popularity. They will be out in full force next Tuesday. A good preliminary, card has been lined up by CASANOVA MEETS BIG CHIEF AT MAIN STREET Carlo Curtis has lined up a bunch of hitters for Saturday night's boxing card at the Main Street club. The smallest pair on the card are middleweights. Chief Whitehorse, Indian heavyweight, will meet Sandy Garrison Casanova in the six-round windup. The Indian is a big, tough fellow, weighing around 200 pounds. He has fought all opponents that could be lined up for him. In his last start he met Dynamite Jackson, the best of the local colored heavyweights. Jack Charvez, Arizona Mexican light heavyweight, will meet Nish Keokarian in a second six-round on the card. The Armenian is an aggressive slugger who can take them. LAST WEEKS RESULTS Sandy Casanova is looking for tougher opposition. Giving away a lot of weight for the first time, the youngster scored his eleventh straight Main St. knockout Saturday night when he knocked Frank Rudenski kicking in the second round of a scheduled six-round bout. Jack Charvez scored a technical knockout in the second six-round when Tom Moore, substitute, failed to answer the bell for the fourth round.

B.S.POETS EDITOR OSCAR CLISBY JESSIE RAYFORDD KELLEY KAR LINE UP TO BE CHANGED FOR SUNDAY'S GAMES WITH ROYAL GIANTS Fred Haney, Kolley Kar, Manager has shaken up his line up for Sunday's double header with the Royal fants at Wrigley Field. He has called Jigger Statz in to play third base and will move over himself to the short stop position. Ant Parker and Durst will make up the balance of the infield. This move will allow Haney to use Fred Berger in an outfield position which will give his club another hard hitter. Fred is a brother of Walter Berger and smart baseball men predict that with a little more experience he will be as hard a hitter as his big brothsr. Wes Schulmerich has returned from the north and will be in right field again for the Qars. Haney, also has lines out for two more pitchers. Ferdie Schupp has been signed already and if he lives up to his past reputation against the Glants he will add a lot of strength to the Kars mound staff. A promising young catcher has been signed in the person if Mike Danning, brother of like Danning, American Association catcher. We wonder if the colored fans of this city have appreciated the exhibition of playing shortstop as it should be played that has been displayed by Allen. Boots Webber, Angel official, has made the statement that in all his years of watching baseball plays he has never seen a more wonderful exhibition than was on tap last Sunday ALVIN MO Wilmingto TO BE CHANGED ES WITH ROYAL GIANTS. at Wrigley Field. And it is not only Allen but Wells that goes to make up probably the most scintillating keystone combination that has ever played in winter league ranks. We are glad to see George Carr back in the fold again. Carr has always been a popular player around Los Angeles and his addition makes the Giants stronger than ever. Carr performed in his old brilliant style last Sunday and looks to be in great shape. Feddie Schuppe and Win Ballieu will try to stop the Giants Sunday and will probably oppose Foster and Britt. As usual the first game of the double header will start at 1:30 and ladies are always admitted free to games played at Wrigley Field. Sanctions Eagle On Black Trojan The letter below received from Oakland reveals that the writer believes in fairness also in regard to the frequently heard fake accusation that Coach Howard Jones has been holding back Bert Ritchie the lone Black Trojan on this great team. The letter follows: San Francisco. Mr. Harry Levette, Sports Editor, California Eagle, Los Angeles. Dear Sir: I read your answer as to why Howard Jones, head coach of U. S. C, did not use Bert Ritchie any more than he did in this past season and I want to state that you are correct. There have been lots of criticisms regarding Jones' method, but I happen to know that Bert, as good as he is, cannot compete with the boys that he is subbing for. Now, if Ritchie had another year in school I am sure things would be different. Let us hope that someone of our colored boys will spring to the front before long. Yours friendly. E. L. ARNAUD. P.
