RELIGIOUS FORCES INVADE CLEVELAND Twenty-Fifth Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress—Thirty- Two States Send messengers— Chairman J. P. Robinson and Secretary Henry A. Boyd at Quarter Century Gathering. Twelve themes, effecting every scope of Sunday School work, touching the religious program of a denomination that claims a membership of 3,500,000, were projected here, this week, at the opening session of the great Sunday School Congress, Cong. church, E. 56th St. and Central Ave., at 10 a. m. Wednesday. Prior to the opening of the Congress, special delegations, coaches and trains wended their way to this, Ohio's metropolis. The Congress official train arrived at the Euclid Ave. station over the Pennsylvania railroad at 6:30 p. m., Tuesday. The band from the Nashville Congress Headquarters, swung from the train and lined up at the station to give the first applause of this twenty-fifth annual session to the citizens and residents who gathered there by the hundreds. It is just a quarter of a century ago, this week, that the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, founder and builder of the race's greatest publishing plant, located at Nashville, Tenn., projected the idea of this Summer Sunday School of Methods. He passed into the great beyond, and then his son, Henry, bled blood onto the floor, coining the words, "Front Line Sunday Schools","Taking What You Have and Making What You Want". The officials from the Congress train were met by the local committee. Several thousands of people lined the streets to watch them as they wended their way to Congress headquarters. All night, they were arriving. Wednesday afternoon, the Congress secretary, declared that thirty-two states were represented by Congress. Pre-Congress Chorus, the first presentation of the trained singers under the direction of Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, gave Cleveland a real thrill. It was the beginning of five days of actual Sunday School work. The local committee, headed by Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of East Mt. Zion Baptist church, had prepared the city, regardless of denomination, tradition and entertainment unlike any that has ever been given to visiting delegates. Dr. J. P. Robinson, the venerable Baptist preacher, who for forty-five years has pastored one church and who has served as a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board since it was first founded, also led the People's Defender and president of a state convention, called the Congress to order. The big chorus then sang the Congress anthem, "Hall the Baptist Congress". The band joined in; then Prof. Johnson had the audience to join, and all Cleveland is unanimous in its open-ended kin ring". The Congress secretary, Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, then presented the official program. Dan Jackson Left Half a Million? Chicago, Ill.—Though there has been no definite appraisal of the estate of the late Daniel M. Jackson, southside political leader and state commerce commissioner, his heirs a fortune which will total $500,000. Much of the former ward committeeman's wealth is in bonds and securities locked in safe deposit vaults which have not yet been opened. The property holdings and cash are said to have made him one of our wealthiest men. EDITOR WARLEY MUST "STICK" On the Job, Says His Long-Time Friend and All the Rest of Us —He Is One of Our Best. Detroit, Mich., May 23, '29. Mr. Wm. Warley, Editor "The News", Louisville, Ky. Friend Warley: —Through our mutual friend, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, we are writing you this letter because we have learned that you have become somewhat discouraged. Knowing you as we do and knowing your worth as one of the greatest contributors to racial uplift, we were indeed sorry to note that such a condition would cause you to make a decision that would withdraw from the race one of our greatest captains, whose voice has ever cried out against the enemy. We know, though, the man of your nature and habits can no more withdraw from the scene of battle than to stop eating and still go on living. You are a fighter, an effective one, and always will be. If you stop and examine with care all men who have taken high ground, you will find that they have had to suffer. This in all times and in all ages. Humanity is a cross-puzzle. We do not know, but we have a suspicion that all of our knocks and blows have been the fault of the general public. There seems to be a shadow of evil that follows the man who would do good, and it is there that we have to give our attention and do battle against that unseen foe. It is the same thing that made St. Paul cry out on one occasion: "When I would do good, evil is present. I cannot do the good I desire to do." Not only in St. Paul's case was it drink thirst. St. Brates was to drink this brew because his reforms which benefited the people of his time. Copernicus, Galileo and hosts of others were persecuted because of the truths and principles for which they stood. Our noble friend of Ohio, U. S. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, enjoyed the highest civil and political esteem of this nation until he undertook to clean up a race that had been sorely abused and represented by this government. You and I; we all know what happened to him. That shadowy evil seems to be the rule by which to prevent all good men from accomplishing good. We know not why, but it is true. We are planning to come back into the field again. a hundred times stronger than we were before. All of our plans are done, and we hope, when we have announced ourselves, to be of benefit and service to you. We want you in our organization and will include you. I think our troubles will then be largely minimized. As you are somewhat slow about writing, I am afraid you will not be able to catch me at this address unless you answer immediately. My home is in Cleveland, but I am in Detroit with my sisters and brothers because of my serious illness. Hoping to hear from you as soon as you get this, I am Your sincere friend, G. L. Cheatham. BOBBY, BROTHER AND SISTER! Lovely Children in Need of a Good Home—Church People Take Note and Act. Bobby is a cunning little boy of the race, seven years of age, now under the care of the Cleveland Humane society. His father and mother are dead; so the thing Bobby needs more than anything else is a good free or adoptive foster home with a real daddy and mother to love him and give him the training and protection he has been deprived of thrue the death of his parents. His development and nutrition are good, with a real daddy and mother to his teeth are in excellent condition. He has no physical defects and he is normal mentally. He does not present any problems of care and would adjust to any normal home where he has the oversight of intelligent foster parents. His mental examination showed an intelligence quotient of 100 and his responses were perfectly normal. He is very bright and speaks with a cunning drawl. He is friendly and cheerful and is quick to learn. In his present foster home where he is placed with his brother and sister. These children are also perfectly normal and very attractive, and the Humane Society would be glad to place the three children together in another home. However, if this is not possible, they will have to be separated. It is desirable that Bobby be placed in a location where he can attend sight-saving classes. In case these classes are not open to him he should be placed in an open air school or persons referred to are required to be lost.

Court Says Barring of Afro- Americans Violates 14th and 15th Amendments. Richmond, Va., June 5.—The Virginia primary law, which has had the effect of barring our voters from the Democratic primary by giving political parties the right to make their own rules, was declared unconstitutional in U. S. District Court here today. Judge Lawrence O. Groner in opinion held the law of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, said that the state could not by delegation or otherwise give vitality to a claimed right which is prohibited by the Constitution from enacting into law. The case originated with the filing of a claim for the Fourteenth Amendment officials by James O. West, Afro-American Democrat, because he was refused permission to vote in the last Democratic primary. The defendants, represented by counsel headed by Leon M. Bazilo, assistant attorney general, filed a demurrier. Judge Groner obtained the case to give counsel for the defendants 60 days in which to plead further. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OPPOSED TO COMMUNISM! Crosswaith Elected a Member of the Executive Committee of a New Labor Body—Who He Is. New York City - At the Conference for Progressive Labor Action which held a two-day session here, last week, Frank R. Crosswail, labor-leader, was unanimously elected a member of its national executive committee. The Conference among other things aims to conduct an intensive and extensive campaign of education and organization among the organized and unorganized workers, without regard to creed or with a view to establishing an American labor party and the building of powerful co-operative movements among workers and consumers. "The Conference for Progressive Labor Action is opposed to Communism and Communist tactics as well as to the timid, conservative attitude of the American Federation of Labor which until now has wooled negatively effected workers, and a white pro-communist worker," said Mr. Crosswail, recently connected with the Pullman Porters Union as special organizer, and one of the signers of the call for the Conference for Progressive Labor Action. In 1925, he organized the elevator operators of this city and our motion picture operators of Harlem. Lynching, An American Institution. It has been said that race prejudice, whose legitimate child is lynching, is an inherent human characteristic; that the race towards a "Negro" or other non-white person, and visa versa, is natural, and consequently will survive with man to the end of time (unless, in the meantime, the amalgamationists have their way). This false philosophy has been preached so long that it is accepted by an alarmingly high percentage of both whites and "Negroes." It is the lie upon which the Garveyism, on the one hand, and Garveyism, on the other, is predicated. "Inherent" race antagonism is the religion of the Lathrop Stoddards, Madison Grants, Van Evries, Speers, Brans, Heffellins, et al. These men seem to believe that the white man is the sun that lights the world, that the lustre of other races is but so much reflected glory; and that a Nordic is the voice of the Almighty on earth. With unabated zeal they have labored to win for them an unimproved Lathrop lynching. We have hunted the black rape-friend to death with hounds, bored him with buckshots, fricseased him over slow fires and flayed him alive; but the despoilment of white women, by these brutal imps of darkness and the devil, is still of daily occurrence", gleefully shrieked one of these philosophers of white superiority and culture. The points of view they express are obviously the majority point of view, today, in this country. Those white Americans who do not share the views of these ragtime anthropologists are not the majority radicals, even as John Brown, Wendell Phillips, Lovejoy, Eugene Deks, Norman Thomas and others; the majority of their countrymen shun and despeil them while the "Negro" masses remain more or less hostile and indifferent. Lynching is an American institution. To a very large extent it is the fruition of centuries of studied educational work begun by those who sought to justify slavery and give eternal life to that ungodly institution, and since then carried on by the moulders of public opinion with a view to maintaining the status quo. All other countries so far have successfully erected a tariff wall against the sinister, base thing called lynching,¹ called Lynching,² and it, America is left free to bask in the glory of at least one monopoly. Lynching will eventually pass out of the United States, but until the jungle-like struggle for the means of life passes, and society is reorganized upon the basis of co-operation for the mutual benefit of all whose interests are based upon work and worth. Frank R. Crosswaith 50,000 Natives Die in Plague. Cape Town, S. Africa. — Deaths from famine and plague in the Runda area number 50,000, according to reports from Uganda. Altho conditions are slowly improving, there is still considerable difficulty, as the natives refuse to submit to anti-plague inoculations. In some districts doctors were accompanied by special guards, and several clashes are reported. Dr. Gregg Resigns Hampton Institute, Va.—The trustees have announced the resignation of Dr. James E. Gregg as principal to take effect on July 1st, after a service of more than eleven years Dr. George H. Gregg, appointed acting principal at the time of the acceptance of Dr. Gregg's resignation.

FLEMING'S APPEAL NOW SET FOR JUNE 18 Local Judges Will Not Hear It But Jurists From Springfield, Dayton and Greenfield Will Ex-Councilman Tom Fleming, fighting a term of from two years and nine months to ten years in the Ohio penitentiary, will battle for a new trial in the local Court of Appeals on June 18. Cuyahoga's appellate judges will not hear Fleming's appeal but judges from Springfield, Dayton and Greenfield will do so. His appeal from the sentence imposed under a bribery conviction, has been pending since February when he was convicted of accepting a 2000 bride from Walter Columbo crippled ex-detective, for introducing legislation to compensate Oehme for injuries sustained on duty and to pay doctor bills. Affidavits offered as new evidence are the principal grounds for his appeal. Fleming was refused a new trial on these affidavits in February. "Justice is trying to catch up with itself". E. J. Hopple, chief of the appellate division of the county prosecutor's staff, said Tuesday. He will sue against a new trial in the Fleming conviction and demand that the jury conviction and sentence be upfiled. WINS RIGHT TO RETAIN NAME Washington, D.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Four record- smashing performances, including a sensational half-mile in 1:52 1-5 by Phil Edwards of New York univers- ity, brought the ffty-third Intercol- legiate A. A. A, A. track and field championships to a climax, Satur- day, as Stanford university won. the team title for the third year in a row. The Cardinals from Palo Alto, coached: by “Dink” Templeton, not only gave the far west its eighth triumph over a span of nine years, but did it by the most overwhelming margin in 30 years. Not since 1899, when Pennsylvania's great team won with a record total of 57 points, beating its nearest rival by 29 points, has any team captured the historic meet by so one-sided a mar- gin as Stanford. Stanford scored ex- actly 45% points, tallying in’ nine of the 15 events. This more than doubled the count of the nearest Cardinal rival, Southern California, which tallied 21 points and thereby added to the rout of the east. Penn- sylvania finished third with 18% points, New York university fourth with 14 and Yale fifth with 15%. Cal- ifornia, the third contender from the Pace coast, finished in a tie with Pittsburgh for sixth place with 11 points. To Phil Edwards, the “Afro” N. Y. U. flier and Canadian Olympic star, went the main honors as he spread- eagled his field in the half-mile run In defending his title successfully, Edwards not only shattered the 14- year-old meet record of the famous ‘Ted Meredith, set at 1:52 in 1915, but also equaled Meredith's Ameri- can outdoor record of 1:52 1-5, made in 1916. He was only three-fifths of a second behind the world’s record in 1:51 3-5, made by Dr. Otto Pelt- zer of Germany at London in 1926. Edwards was primed for the great- est race of his career and did it, as a crowd of 15,000 spectators cheer- ed him on. Running the first 440 yards in less than 55 seconds, Ed- ‘wards was 30 yards in front of his teammate, Fred Veit, going into the last lap. ‘It appeared the slim but beautifully-striding runner had set off at too fast a pace. He seemed to slow down rounding the last turn but had enough left to finish fast, breaking the tape 25 yards in front of his nearest rival, Chapman of Bates, with Veit third. Ohio Bell Workers Cited for Heroism ‘Twenty-one employees of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company have been given honorable mention and three others have received letters of commendation in connec- tion with noteworthy acts of pub- lie service performed during 1928. Theodore N. Vail medals, horior- able mention, and letters of com- mendation go to those telephone workers who have figured in acts of heroism or have performed some public service which called for quick thinking under emer- gency conditions. This is in line with the company’s policy of show- ing recognition and appreciation for such deeds and to honor the memory of the late Theodore N. Vail, who at one time was head of the entire Bel! System and had much to do with advancing the art of telephony. Patronize Our Advertisers WRITTEN BY “THE OLD RELIABLE” GAZETTE’S CORRESPONDENTS.

To wish for such a birthday present when Harry Pierce of Bellefontaine was 28, or even 58, would have been like crying for the moon. But on his 78th birthday—the telephone rang. “Brussels calling,” the operator said, and in a few moments the voice of Robert Pierce, a son, greeted his father from across the water in far-away Belgium. “Greetings on your 78th birthday,” said Robert. A brief conversation ensued. Messages of health and happiness sped through the wires and out into the ether in both directions and even the weather was mentioned. The transatlantic call came as a complete surprise, for the cablegram which was to inform Mr. Pierce of the call arrived after the conversation was over. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells.

Trubee Davison, acting head of the War department, trying out one of the new armored cars which have just been approved by the army. The cars carry a crew of three men and two machine guns, one of which is mounted for use against aircraft. The cars are to be used for reconnaissance and communication duty with cavalry. SPEEDING MOTOR CARS TAKE TOLL Wild Animals Face Serious Menace From Automobiles on Highways. Wild animals, whose movements and natural increase are restricted by agricultural and industrial development, now face a serious hazard from automobiles, which are increasing in number and are being driven over improved highways at the higher average speeds possible by modern construction, better servicing facilities, and more liberal speed regulations. Approximately one person in five drives an automobile. The highway system includes more than 615,000 miles of surfaced highways, with approximately 90,000 miles in important interstate routes. Counted Carcasses. One member of the United States Department of Agriculture, observing the highway menace to wild life, determined to count the animal carcasses he passed while on two motor trips. On a 632-mile trip in Iowa last summer he observed 225 individuals dead along the highway, crushed by speeding automobiles. These included 40 reptiles, 43 mammals and 142 birds —29 species in all. Of the birds, 43 were red-headed woodpeckers and 26 were domestic fowls. Similar in South. On a tour early in October from southern Iowa to north-central Florida, a distance of about 1,400 miles, a similar count identified 23 species in the death toll of highways. The 234 individuals included 6 amphibians, 81 reptiles, 45 mammals, 67 birds, and 35 miscellaneous vertebrate forms. The bird list included 23 domestic fowls and 21 English sparrows. Six cats, two dogs, and a pig composed the group of domestic animals other than poultry. Forbid Petting While Driving in Skidmore In Skidmore, Mo., the town council recently enacted an ordinance that is likely to meet with some disapproval on the part of those who keep one arm entwined around fair companions with the other arm free for driving. The new law, according to a bulletin issued by the Automobile Club of Illinois, proclaims that "The driver shall not place an arm around the person of another, but shall keep both hands free. . . . Nor shall any person place an arm or arms around the person of the driver. "Anything that makes for safer and safer driving should be accepted as worthy of such action, and the step taken by the Missourians in the passage of the ordinance will likely be followed by other municipalities, declared St Mayer, president of the club." Problems of Commercial Vehicle Are Different The problems of the commercial vehicle are different from those of the individual motor car. In the case of the motor truck and bus we have a parallel to the freight and express operations and to the old-fashioned stage coach. The rapid facility offered by the motor truck has tripled the speed of deliveries of merchandise as compared with the days of combination railroad and horse-drawn wagon. The result has led to a change in merchandising methods of the country, whereby local stores carry smaller inventories, but have rapid access to supplies of large central warehouses. English Trying Out New Type Automobile Motor A new type of motor is being tried out in England, in which a rotary sleeve valve along the top of the engine is used. It is a simplified adaptation of the sleeve-valve principle. Here a cylinder with intake and exhaust ports for each operating cylinder is placed under the head, driven by gears from the main shaft. As it revolves it opens and closes the ports of the row of six or eight cylinders in the engine, permitting gasoline to enter or the burned gases to leave each chamber in order. be Installed Often The points of a spark plug actually wear out. This, in addition to the cracking of the porcelain, is a result of age. The point that comes down from the center of the plug, which is the one that carries the high tension positive current, will appear to be eaten away. Plugs at 10,000 miles often will show so much wear at the points that the gaps will be much too wide for perfect firing at low car speeds. The points can be brought closer together, but since the wear is uneven there is danger of not getting the right clearance. The safer plan is to install new plugs. Fair Motorists Warned to "Step on the Gas" Warned to Step on Gas. Patrolman on James river bridge, at Norfolk, Va., longest in world, is shown warning fair motorist to "step on the gas" and do over 35 miles per hour over the four and a half-mile stretch. This is the only way to relieve traffic congestion on the $3,000,000 span that connects Newport News and Norfolk, Va. The sky is the limit when it comes to speed. "High" Means "Low" at Some Gasoline Depots Life's marked mobility has created a situation whereby the car owner buys his gasoline from many different stations—at least during those months of the year when the open road calls. There are many good stations from which to buy gas, but the fact that all of them do not handle the same brands interposes the need for a precaution. That is to remember that "high test" is a general term and may mean an entirely different thing as applied to different gasolines. Sometimes, "high" is "low" as compared with what the car is accustomed to get. AUTOMOBILE NOTES A horsefly on a radiator is a pathetic sight. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but not on a motor-crowded highway. An oil millionaire bought nine automobiles in two and a half years, and really that is easier than washing them. Boston police say they don't know how to handle jaywalkers. What's the matter with the old-fashioned stretcher? Perhaps the habitual honkers in traffic tie-ups are adults who in babyhood were allowed to retain their rattles too long. The mechanical genius that produced the Sunday filly must be accredited also with having provided the fast-going ambulance. Oil producers complain of over-production. Autists will thus be able to account for the abrupt and marked decline in the price of gasoline. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1929. AD news for the long-suffering masculine escort! To his catchful waiting" must be added another ten minutes or so. It's COSTUMES OF LIGHTWEIGHT WOOLEN TUNE IN ON A VARIED PROGRAM UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD SAD news for the long-suffering masculine escort! To his "watchful waiting" must be added yet another ten minutes or so. It's all because of the changing style in party frocks for the deboutante. No longer can her evening dresses be pulled on over the head in a "jiffy." Modern gowns fit too sung for that. The call of the evening mode is for long slender molded-to-the-form bodies, with low-placed and extreme flares. Consequently most dresses now open at the side and must be "hooked up" or fastened along the underarm seam in some ingenious way. Only the slender, the swelt and the youthful can triumphantly wear these new-type molded-bodice frocks. They surely belie the rumor that curves are coming back. She who would be lovely in frocks of this genre must, with a dieting program, it's worth all the self-sacrifice, however, for the new silhouettes with their slenderized bodies which are skirted with billowy COSTUMES OF LIGHT TUNE IN ON A TIME was when woolen weaves flourished only when the thermometer descended the scale. And now? Sentiment in regard to the timeliness of woolen fabrics has completely changed. And why? Well, because the woolens themselves are that transformed, modernized, as it were, they tune in to the scheme of things the whole year round. True, it takes some stretch of the imagination to believe that the sheer daly phantomweight wool geogrettes and crepes and lacelike novelty weaves for which the world of fashion is showing such enthusiasm this season are descendants from the sturdy pro-sale utilitarian woolens of pre-modern days. It is enough to convert even the most skeptical into ardent evolutionists. But thanks to the weaver's magic art, the miracle has been wrought, with the result that the new woolens are playing a leading role in the spring and summer style program. One of the most unique and interesting fashion shows ever presented was the Golden Fleece pageant which recently played to a record-breaking audience, turning away over five thousand in one week in New York, later repeating its triumphs and record attendance in Chicago. The costumes fullness are to the eye most entrancing. Satin forms alliance with tulle for the majority of these frocks—if not tulle then some equally as sprightly thin material such as stiffened chiffon or dotted net or handsome lace. The winsome frock in the picture uses flesh color satin for its bodice. The matching tulle for the skirt poses one layer over another, the pointed hemline of each outlined with silver threadwork. Not infrequently taffeta instead of satin fashions the bodice. Then again all-over embroidered and beaded materials are media for the more elaborate types. However, such de luxe effects detract somewhat from the supreme youthfulness of simple tulle and satin or taffeta. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) TWEIGHT WOOLEN VARIED PROGRAM SHIRT & WOOLEN UNDER WOOL shown were all of wool, ranging from bathing suits through sports clothes to afternoon apparel. Many of the woolens were that sheer and supple they draped like softest of silk. Others were as diaphanous as the daintiest of chiffons. Still others carried lacelike patternings which characterized them as "wool laces." A new fabric which made a decidedly favorable impression was white wool plique. The sleeveless frock to the left in the picture is of this charming weave. The white of the wool plique is contrasted with a pliping of butter yellow outlining neckline, sleeves, the tabbed skirt kite as well as the graceful jabot. This frock was posed at the style show under a buttery yellow channel coat, the same made with a draped cape. White kid shoes and a white soft straw hat complemented this costume, as did also the handbag of white wool plique with butter-yellow trim. The bright red wool crepe two-piece jacket suit, to the right in this illustration, has an accordion-plaited skirt with a scalloped hemline. It is worn with a white-ground striped double breasted blouse, thus again testifying to the supreme mollismess of stripes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (® 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) CAUGHT "FLATFOOTED"! COUNCILMEN BROWN AND GEORGE SAY COUNCILMAN GREGG DID SAY IT. Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This Community When Councilman Russel S. Brown bript up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council, to open the local City Hospital to our girls, desiring to become trained nurses, and to our internes, Councilman Gregg objected to it saying that it was not time to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution. What do you think of that? Our boys and girls have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this day for more than fifty years. Brown is also alleged to have said that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated in the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir,—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown, be hard for me to believe that Rev. Brown is a falsehood, for I have high regard for him as a Christian gentleman. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that, I have more confidence in moral sausage and diplomacy as aides of achievement than radicalism. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for Negro advancement in Cleveland" we have failed to learn of it, then we have watched his career here ever since he landed, from "down home".—Editor. Brown Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, O., April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazelle, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—I appreciate your calling me over the telephone and apprizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg's letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the information which was the basis of your edit but I presume you got it from some one and I talked with me about the matter. First, let me give you the "heart" of the resolution referred to: "That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be appointed by the mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a mission to provide medical care and equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions". This was discussed in a meeting among a number of friends. It was at that meeting that Dr. E. J. Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there existed an organization of white nurses which would not allow their memorial service to be held and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and report on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is both timely and right to open the City Hospital to our boys and girls. This will not as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race present. Atty. Clayborn George counselman, was also present. Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Honica C. Smith. Bilena C. Gortez. Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—In answer to your inquiry over the telephone, today, with reference to statements made by Dr. E. J. Gregg, I wish to advise that I was present at a meeting where a proposed resolution of Rev. Russell Brown was being discussed. This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Council of the City Hospital of New York, and all activities being furnished to all people for the training of nurses and internes. According to my best collection, Dr. Gregg said that the American Association of Nurses of New York and Philadelphia objected to the training of white and colored nurses in the same hospital, and because of the attitude of the American Nurses' Association he thought the resolution was untimely. He further said that if colored nurses were placed into the City Hospital, they would help improve the care and affect seriously the services rendered there, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregg further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the information desired, I remain, Gregg's reasons for opposing the admission of our girls in the nursing school at the City Hospital are simply ridiculous and a rank insult to all of our people of this community. —Editor. GO BACK "HOME" GREGG! Councilman E. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution supported by the taxpayers of the community, among whom we number thousands, because organized prejudiced white nurses "would not work with our nurses", he says, and because "forcing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-school might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital," he continues. Now, really can you believe that a sane member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such ret, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, have mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways". GREGG'S LATEST HOSPITAL IDEA Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, April 15, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now advocating a "jim-crow" hospital for this city, but one on the East-side of the city, the majority of its official personnel (those in charge of it) to be "Negroes". Such an institution would do the same harm that a "jim-crow" hospital would, because ALL "Negro" patients that went to the other hospitals in the city, as they do now, would be sent to Gregg's "makeshift" institution, and that would rob our people of the right to enter the other hospitals as they do now. Then, too, there is no need of such a half or two-thirds "jim-crow" institution, since "Negro" patients in this community are being better cared for now than they could possibly ever hope to be in a "hospital" such as Gregg advocates for the selfish purpose of getting a few jobs for "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, who do not seem to be able to make a good living otherwise. Is this the thing that City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Councilman Gregg have been "rubbing noses or heads" over for the past year or so? We want to know! Cleveland will never start or maintain such an unnecessary thing. Let the "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, do it if they can. There will be no objection to their having such a private institution. Why don't they go on back "down home" and revel in "jim-crow" hospitals and about everything else. They are making nuisances of themselves here, trying to not only impede our peoples' progress in this community but positively trying to make them retrograde. Shame! BROWN AND GEORGE ARE NOT LIARS! Our local contemporary, quotes Councilman E. J. Gregg as saying, last week, in reference to what Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George say he said at that caucus of Republican members of the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, referred to on page 4 of this paper: "Did you make such a statement? Gregg was asked", said our local contemporary, last week. "No, that's a damned lie", replied Gregg, according to said contemporary. Rev. Dr. R. S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Atty. Clayborne George, councilman colleagues of Gregg, say he did say it, that they distinctly heard him, and have sent letters to that effect to The Gazette which we published, last week, and give again, this week, for the express purpose of combating just such a statement as Gregg is credited with by our local contemporary. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councillman, that he uses such language in referring to the truthful statements of his colleagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we understand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constituents and the public think of him? To another question, Gregg is quoted as saying: "H—ll, not!" Well, well, WELL! Isn't that and his other reply (above) awful? What say you, Rev. Dr. C. C. Aller, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the members of your congregation "church" Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color in a hole and a big one, too. But that is not a "marker" to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temerity to be a candidate for re-election, this fall. Goodbye! Gregg. Harry C. Smith. 2183 A telephone switchboard must be kept in perfect condition to insure good service on every line. This Ohio Bell man is testing "jacks" in which the operator inserts the switchboard plugs when making connections. Lydia C. Bauer Thirty years of telephone service is the record of Miss Lydia Bauer, cashier at the Springfield commercial office of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. May 1st marked the completion of this period of service. Miss Bauer was born in Springfield and educated in the schools of that city. She entered the employ of the telephone company as an operator. She was transferred to the information desk and later become clerk for the Springfield wire chief. After five years of service in the latter capacity she was transferred to the business office as cashier.
