BLOSSOM Color-line Director of Welfare Urges Quick Action on Hospital Bonds But Won't Get It. Bonds to provide for the establishment of a "jim crow" branch of City Hospital on the East Side as asked by the chairman E. Gregg (this caused the mayor E. just week Tuesday) were urged by Color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom. Wednesday, Blossom said that with the moving of Lakeside Hospital, a new emergency will be created. Lakeside, he said, now cares for between 40 and 50 accident cases a day and Charity Hospital handles approximately 60 cases. Charity Hospital's load, he said, is beyond its capacity. Both hospitals and Bickle Hospital would like to fund "Negroes", and Gregg and Owens would like the job of caring for them in a "jim crow" East Side branch of the City Hospital. If Council passes the bond issue, considered by committees, Blossom said the city will have ample time to make arrangements by Jan. 1, 1931, when the emergency will arise. However, Blossom said, if the bond issue will not be able to meet the emergency, the director admitted that unless means are found to increase the city's operating revenue by 1031, there will not be sufficient funds available to operate a branch of City Hospital. However, Blossom pointed out that with the election of a new council in which the public has confidence, it would be willing to vote a special tax levy to provide more operating revenue. But they won't do anything of the kind. The ordinance to provide for a "jim crow" branch of City Hospital on the East Side "among the Negroes" was introduced by one-term Councilman E. J. Gregg, "from Alabama by way of Tennessee", who chairs the committee of Council. In the way somewhat improved the chances of his ordinance to reach the floor of Council where it will be promptly killed, as he is a member of the Welfare Committee and also of the Health and Sanitation Committee. Thus he will have two votes but they will do him no good. No Chance Seem Whatever treatment the committees give the ordinance, it has practically no chance, in the face of present opposition, to pass the Council, as it would require 20 votes to succeed. An emergency measure, next Monday, would be necessary to comply with the bond laws. auditorium where a sumptuous banquet was served.

Subscribe Now OUR SCHOOL-BOARD MEMBER An Experienced Local Public School Teacher — Ran as an Independent Republican Candidate. Mrs. Mary Brown Martin, triumphantly elected a member of the Cleveland Board of Education, last week Tuesday, was supported loyally by our people from whom she de- rived the major portion of her support. She defeated the vice-president of the Board, a member for many years, by more than 3,000 votes, her total vote being in excess of 53,000. Mrs. Martin's parents came to Cleveland in 1886 from Raleigh, NC, where she was born, and she graduated from second grade at old Rockwell school. She was graduated from Central High school in 1900 and was the class vocalist. Her daughter, Lydia, won the same honor in the same school 25 years later. Graduated from the Cleveland (Normal) School of Education in 1903, Mrs. Martin taught In St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Northhampton Ala, and in Cotton Plant, Ark. Art and Preyterian school. In 1905 she returned to Cleveland and that year was married to Atty. Alex. H. Martin. Four children were born to them: Lydia, age 21; Sarah, 19, a junior at O. S. U. and a student of her class the first two years; Alex. H., Jr., a freshman at B. College, O. S. U., and Stuart B. College, a freshman at Central High School. In 1920 Mrs. Martin resumed teaching, in the local public schools. When informed of her election, last week Wednesday, she said she hoped to be useful on the board because she is "in touch with the common people" and is a mother. She has four children, three of whom college and the fourth in high school. "I am not a servant all the citizens," Mrs. Martin said. "It was unfairly charged during the campaign that I would be a representative of just the colored people. I will not be there for any certain group, but for all". Not the least surprising and pleasing phase of the victory was the fact that the "League" "state" was broken by it. Mrs. Martin was declared "qualified" but the four members of the Board were stamped "preferred", by the league. Mrs Josephine Reilly, another independent candidate, who "teamed" in the contest with Mrs. Martin, the only Afro-American candidate for member of the Board, trailed the latter by a few points. The Gazette's report, given above, is the best to appear in any newspaper, local or foreign, and was ordered for it by Mrs. Martin whom the editor has known ever since she was a little girl. LIBERIAN LABOR ROW U. S. Names Its Charge D'Affairs for Hearing on Slavery Charges Washington, D. C. — Appointment of Henry Carter as temporary charge d'affaires of the American legation in Liberia, Wednesday, foretold an early showdown on reiterated charges that Liberia natives are being subjected to carolified labor. Liberia is a foreign service officer assigned to the Department of State. His home is Williamstown, Mass. He will serve in Monrovia during the proposed forced labor investigation by an international commission composed of one representative each of the United States, the League of Nations and Liberia. American participation in the investigation results from the fact that Harvey S. Firestone has large sums invested in Liberian the rubber plantations. The investigating commission will also look into the cause of Liberian labor leaving for other west coast African communities under British, French and Portuguese control.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WHAT IT IS HOPED TO DO REASONS FOR REACHING HIS CONCLUSION GIVEN BY DR. BYRD. The South Still Struggling to Get “Into the Saddle” and Direct Church, Politics—Hypocritical Creed Established by Whites. (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—The movement among Protestant churches for Church Union is not what it appears to be on the surface. This desired union is to bring white protestantism together without regard to its effect upon especially colored protestantism. This desire for church union is combative also. It is an attempt to have all protestants under control so that should the occasion arise, which demands a united stand against a protestant foe, it will be easy to do so. It is a fair question to ask whether this union is religious or political? Does white protestantism, as it does now, concern itself about the union of colored Christians or is it simply to force colored Christians for the sake of self-reveal, to unite and form a United Colored Church? This is evident for the following reasons: people. They have been received into the family of Republican states without any repentence. The same will be true in the matter of church union. As we see it our people should not oppose this union. It reveals the hearts of the whites seeking to come together. Colored people should have sense enough to come together also but upon a different basis and with a more real Christian attitude than actuating and bringing together whites. If colored Christians should unite there should be no hypocritical creed (long established by his white brother for financial reasons) considered in this union. Most assuredly if our people go into the kingdom of rest they will be of one mind there and why not here? There is one around upon which all christians can stand, namely: God is the Father of us all. He has pre- (a) In the contemplated union of Protestant Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South, Presbyterian Churches, North and South, and Reformed Churches, this union is to be consummated without regard to any change in conditions that caused the schism between the churches as well as two Presbyterian Churches, due to the slavery issue. (b) The Southern Churches have not changed their attitude toward colored people and their right for equality of brotherhood in the churches. If this union is consummated the southern principle and idea will prevail, instead of the northern. In fact what is now called the southern principle is but a plan to unite white Christians for more purposes than one. (c) The same spirit that caused southern states to change political policies and unite with northern states of a different political faith, is now at work seeking to bring about a similar change in the church. The political change came about in the political world without the least regard for the colored people and their rights. The south thinks the schism is over and Florida, Texas and North Carolina, as they did before they voted against Alfred Smith. They have not changed one iota in favor of the rights of our THE COMMUNITY FUND Annual Campaign On—Our Leaders in the Local Effort—The Mather Dinner Speaker. The eleventh annual campaign of the Community Fund will be set in motion, Monday. The goal is $4,650,000.

Our people will be found doing their share of the work. Mrs. James K. Nickens, Captain Charles E. Frye, ex. sec. Cedar "Y", and Rev. Russell S.

Cleveland is the land of the largest successful charity chest in the world although more than 350 cities have followed its example. Former U. S. Senator George Wharton Peppard of Philadelphia, when addressing a common cause, Samuel Mather at the Mid-Day Club Monday said, "The Community Fund in Cleveland has united every religious sect and every race in the city under a common cause. If it did not accomplish another thing, this alone would justify its existence". Bombed His Home Atlanta, Ga. — Following the explosion of a bomb, last week, at the home of Herman White, 791 Proctor St., interracial committees of prominent citizens have taken up with the police department, the prosecuting attorney and the chamber of commerce the question of securing protection for our residents in that vicinity and of getting effective action against those who blew up the White home. Boydston post's armistice day dance, Monday evening, at Eagles hall, E. 46th St. and Euclid Ave. was a social and financial success. Several of our victorious candidates were in attendance.

Most assuredly if our people go into the kingdom of rest they will be of one mind there and why not here? There is one ground upon which all Christians can stand, namely: God is the Father of us all. He has prepared one Redeemer for us all. We accept this Redeemer and show our acceptance by acting toward each other as the Redeemer acts towards us. In other words, simply believe in God and show this love for God of the other manifested love for Man. All of the other rituals, nonessential to meet the desire of the scriptures in the present churches, with a variety of creeds, let us discard. Let us not fight about water, if any man desire to go so deeply under the water until he fails to come up and that he feels it is what he wants, let him do so, and those of us who do not think as he does, attend to our business and bury him when he comes to the top. A united Negro Church would mean economy, a more efficient clergy, a better run and less expensive church, for there would not be so many ecclesiastical grafting, less organization and more doing what is necessary and a stronger loving faithward each other such as Jesus manifested when he was here. Is there enough common sense among Negro Christians to call a Council of the churches and there consider a Church Union which would be one for Christianity's advancement, rather than for racial and political reasons? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. YE HO! MRS. MARTIN! Mrs. Emma Howell Ramsay Has a Job for You Already—Charges Race Discrimination in Local Public Schools. Charges of race discrimination in the local public schools were made, Tuesday, by Mrs. E. H. Ramsay, 1401 W. 75th St., who takes exception, to statements made, two weeks ago, by Mark L. Thomson, former president of the Cleveland Board of Education. Mrs. Ramsay vigorously objects to the assertion by Thomsen that hundreds of our children could not learn and should not be kept in school, and says: "Many colored children come to Cleveland from the South, where they have had inferior opportunities, or none at all. A colored child can learn as rapidly as a white child of the same mentality, if the proper method of teaching is employed. I know of many cases of rank discrimination used by white teachers in mapping out courses of study for colored pupils and not permitting to pursue their chosen subjects. They seem to think the educational standard set up for the white child is too good for the colored child. If the Afro-American is ignorant and criminally inclined, as the enemies of the race would have everyone believe, then the white educators of the country are to blame. If more money could be appropriated for proper teaching of mentally retarded, white and colored children, would it not be much more worth-while than an appropriation of $10,000 for teaching the game of bridge in the public schools?" Mrs. Ramsay also complained of "maneuvering" in the school civil service examinations, charging that last March she stood first in an examination for a position in the examination department and several persons, who stood lower than she did, were given positions over her head.

Recommendation of the adminis: tration as to how the $1,000,000 in counellmanic bonds should be appor- toned was decided upon, late Mon- day, by Color-line City Manager Will R. Hopkins and his cabinet. They approved $400,000 for paving and sewers; $350,000 for an Kast Side (“jim-crow") City hospital; $110,- 000 for welfare department needs; $65,000 for the fire department; $60,000 for the police department, and $15,000 for the parks depart- ment, The administration recom- mendation was presented to council, Tuesday night, in the form of an ordinance and was referred to the finance committee. Whether the pro- gram is followed is up to council which will undoubtedly eliminate the $350,000 for Gregg’s “jim-crow” hospital, if indeed the finance com- mittee does not do so before it reaches the Council. Dr. Dud Blossom, director of Wel- fare, collaborates with Hopkins and Gregg {a their “jim-crow” hospital scheme which {s soon to receive its death blow. Mayor John D. Mar- shall said, Tuesday, that he doubted that the Gregg “jim-crow” hospital resolution could pass. Of course, it can't.

This, along with the fact that it would simply provide for the waste of $350,000 more of {the taxpayers’ money for the sole purpose of making a few jobs for “Colored physicians”. The Hopkins- Blossom-Gregg “hobby”, a local “jim-crow” hospital, termed an East-Side branch of the City hospi- tal, is too expensive and unneces- sary a plaything for that segregation trio of elty officials. If they must have it let them pay for it and-not the Cleveland taxpayers. The fact is Hopkins and Blossom want the “Jim-crow” hospital for the purpose of getting all our sick out of all the other hospitals of the city. Gress wants to head it (on a good salary) and “cover in” Dr. James A. Owen his most active assistant in “jim. crow” hospital advocacy, the pas' two years; and possibly a few others of our local segregationist “doc. tors”, it is said. ‘The fact that the issues must be Passed by next Monday to compls with: law, compels one suspension o: the rules to eliminate the thiri reading.

Dr Bundy says he will bring the ques tion to a referendum if Counci Passes it. There is no danger, how ever, of it passing. “THE LEADER”. Several of the misguided friends of one or two of our councilmen- elect seem to be worrying as to who will be “the leader”, meaning our leader, in the Council, atter Jan. 1, 30. All three of our councilmen, George (re-elected), Payne and Bun- ay, will bo “the leader” for they will collaborate and work together as one, if they expect “to get any- where” in their efforts particularly for their Afro-American constitu. ents, The misguided friends, refer red to, must not begin now to array one of our counciimen against an- other in any such way unless they are desirous of ruining the future of thelr favorite and making of him “a one-term” councilman as was true in the case of Dr. E.

Davis) for member of the City Civil Service Commis- sion, insisting on voting for a Demo- crat (white). The Gazette led in ‘this effort and serves notice on all, here and now, that it intends to keep up the good work in the future. Afro-Americans in local public of- fices must “make good”, be loyal to their people and give them some- thing in return for their support of said officials of color. No more “Greggs” will be tolerated. He was permitted to go too far, without [Proper protest on the part of our people, in the very beginning. Afro- Americans of this community will have no more of it, and this includes “round robin” signing ministers, too. Even a newspaper's saying a man, in oF out of office is “the lead- er” does not make him such. This ‘applies to both ministers and lay- men.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend!—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and’I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of ‘The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two MeNeils, but when I find a man, Such as’ you, who consistently, and persistently, through near- ly half a century, puts his race foremost in hig’ life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of ‘our class. Long life to you and ‘The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) is IP ANY USE TO OON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tlon, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it’s cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no ‘guts’. The world respects only those who resent and re- sist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist de- nial of rights in our native land, however long race dis- crimination may continue.

At Philadelphia, he will meet Joe Angelo of Philadelphia, who has defended Sam Bruce at Detroit. Negotiations are under way to show Jones here with Bucky Lawless.

Boston, Mass. — A scheduled ten- round bout between George Godfrey, giant heavyweight from Leiperville, Pa., and Jim Byrne (white) of Bost- no, was stopped at the end of the seventh round here, last Thursday night. Referee Johnny Brassill de- clared it no contest on the ground that Godfrey was not trying. George was on the receiving end during most of the seven rounds. Byrne would land several left hooks to the head and then go into a clutch, a position in which the fighters were most of the time. Godfrey weighed 256 pounds and Byrne 195.

It Is everything it should be, according to the standard set for suits of the high-toned class. BLACK for coats is a style messaze which comes straight from Paris. Im fact Ia Parisienne is making black paramount theme, not only in matter of her luxuriously furred coat, but lkewise her hats, her frocks for both formal evening and daytime wear, accent the favor for distinguished black. Of the hendsome black coats which have been given a stellar role cn the autumn and winter style program, one inclines to say that they have devel- oped a superiority complex, for there's certainly nothing inferior about the costly furs and fine mate- rials of which they are fashioned. A patrician all-black coat of quat- Aty kind, both as to the cloth of which It ts made and the fur which enriches it, ever creates a feeling of gentility and refined elegarice. Which is exact- ly the spirit of the new fashlons—to tune to the gracious dignity of the gentlewoman rather than cater to the caprices of the Sapper. So it is that coat displays are to a large extent made up of all-black models which glory tn their patrician styling and materials, While for the colorful sports coats novelty rough surfaced woolens are the rage, when tt comes to the all- black dressy coat, it 1s the smooth wsurfeced weaves which are sought, Designers are certainly doing won- derful things in the way of creating suits which display refreshing orig- inality. In the current suit showings such striking novelties bold forth as black and white tweed enhanced wita black fur pointed with white, or that which is ultra-smart, a red toned tweed trimmed with fox dyed to mateh. Black tweed with black fur presents another fashionable theme. A salt and-pepper tweed without any fur at all ig made up with novelty touches, the newest note being the conspicu: ous’ use of large bone buttons on revers, collar, cuffs and also on the pockets.

YOUR BREAKFAST CAME IN AN OLD TELEPHONE BOOK The old telephone directory you discarded during the last distribu- tion of new ones may bring your breakfast tomorrow. That is, if you are a cereal ad- dict. When the crisp new directory re- places the old faded one, you soon forget how well it has served you. Here is the story of the rejuvena- tion of the outcast. In most cities the distributor of the new directories is also a col- lector of the old ones. During the distributions in Ohio, hundreds of thousands of worn telephone books, weighing many tons, are collected by the agents of The Ohio Bell Tel- ephone Company and hauled to va- rious paper companies where they are bound in bundles. Here the bundles are packed in ‘box cars and sent to the paper mills of Michigan, At the mills the once neatly arranged directories receive a severe shock. The “Kellys” are mixed with the “Cohens” and the doctors are jumbled with the. me- chanies until the books are reduced to a pulp, which is chemically treated, and finaily emerges from the driers over the rollers as sheet cardboard. This cardboard is then taken to a box factory where it is cut and sized into cardboard cartons—in some cases the same carton used by a well-known cereal comnanv. fr We ml oF the tolegnene dalle | |] ings used by The Ohio Bell | | Tetevtone Company. were |] assembled, they would L——] form the Lusiness section of a good sized city. "The company owns 110 buildings over the state, ranging in height from one story to twenty-two and having a total value of more than $17,000,- 000. In addition, 70 buildings are rented for the purpose of furnish- ing telephone service to Ohio pa. trons. With this vast outlay of build- ings, each one housing expensive equipment which, in most cases, ex- ceeds the building itself in value, must go an intricate network of outside plant, or wires and cables and other apparatus necessary for voice transmission.

Editor, The Press, The News and The Plain Dealor, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sirs:—According to an item in your paper of Sept, 3, ’29 certain Colored doctors in this city are ask- ing for the establishment of an east side branch of the City Hospital, something all the residents of the City of Cleveland for nearly a century have not thought or found necessary. Several of our councilmen have in- formed the writer that the City Hos pital has several or more wards that are not in use because the city is too poor to put them in proper condition. In view of this, the writer is won- dering where it will find the money to comply with the suggestion of the aforementioned Colored doctors and it it was able to do so, what justifi- cation it would have for such misuse of the taxpayers’ money, The dis- erimination said doctors complain of as existing in the City Hospital ean easily be eradicated Ly going into the courts because the City Hospital is a public institution and the law prohibits racial discrimination against citizens. If the Colored doctors referred to wish a hospital of any kind, branch or otherwise, there is nothing to pre- vent their establishing such an insti- tution, but there are strong and ef- fective arguments against the use of Public funds for any such purpose. When, too, w three-story adiities $6 The Ohio Bell building program at the present time involves mil- lions of dollars, with large new structures going up in Akron and Dayton and smaller ones being con- structed in other parts of the state. The Dayton building will be started before the end of 1929, while the Akron structure is well along in construction. Must Harmonize A telephone building is designed to harmonize with its surroundings. Requirements for these structures are more or less tandard in regard to equipment needs, but the out- ward appearance often varies in a manner appropriate to its setting. Simplicity of line is usually aimed for, except in unusual cases, and materials for the facades are the same in many cases. For the larger buildings, like the Cleveland head- quarters ‘building and the Akron and Dayton buildings, the Ameri- can perpendicular style of architec- ture is followed, usually with the setback plan that has attracted so much favorable comment in regard (3) Dayton's new building on which work is starting.

THAT “JIM-CROW” HOSPITAL AGAIN. ‘The Gazetto on Sept. 3, °29 was furnished with a lengthy resolution tigned, or alleged to have been sign- ed, by a number of local “Negro” doctors favoring an East Side Branch of the City Hospital, only another name for a local “jim-crow" hospi- tal, The resolution contains noth- Ing new on either side of the sub- en caro of. No-one denies that. If ject, but does emphasize the distres- sing fact that its signers have little or no concern for the future rights, privileges and progress of their peo- ple in this community, as tar as 1o- cal hospitals are concerned, "Negro" en care of. No-one denies that. If patients of Cleveland are being tak- there is segregation at the City Hos- vital and denial of rights and priv- ileges to our internes and girls in that public institution and its nurses’ training school, which is the case, these things do ‘not justify the estab- lishment of a ‘“Jim-crow” East-Side- Branch of the City Hospital, but can Je eliminated promptly whenever our people see fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly vaid, ‘the estanlishment of a “jm crow” East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to “go to your own hospital” whenever they made application. for ‘admission to other local hospitals. ‘The resolu- tion's reference to “the Jewish sec- tion, the Italian section, the Irish section, ete.”, reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections is asking for a segregated hospital for their own group or class, but have to the newer Bell System buildings over the country. Beauty and Efficiency The aim in each case has been to combine beauty with efficiency in a manner that would make the physical conception of the structure pleasing to the eye and yet allow for the rapid and accurate fune- tioning of equipment in its distri- bution of telephone calls. Certain special provisions must be mae for the accommodation of telephone equipment. Ceilings of certain floors must be higher to al low room for tall racks and frames and the structures must be gen. erally reinforced to more than an ordinary extent to withstand the greater floor loads imposed by the large amounts of copper, iron, steel, and lead which are used in tele- phone equipment. Provisions must be made for attractive ground floor rooms, where the public may be received in the transaction of tele- phone business. The basements must be designed to permit the entran. of large cables leading up to the nerve cen- the good sense and judgment to use the city and other local hospitals just as our people are doing. The ‘“jim-crow” hospital advocates’ ref- erence to the Central Ave. bath house and the Harlem hospital, New York City, is not pertinent, neither making any such condition as would tho establishment of a “jim-crow” hospital in this city. The fact is that “if an East-Side-Branch of the Cleveland City Hospital” was locat- ed in the ‘Negro section”, a year would not pass over our heads be- fore every “Negro” making applica~ tion for admission to any other local hospital but the ‘‘jim-crow” hospital would be forced to go to it and be barred from the other hospitals of the city. They would be told to go to their own hospital and everybody knows this, including the ‘‘jim-crow”” advocates of an East-Side-Branch of City Hospital who would make a few jobs for themselves at even so great Participate in the present hospital. offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nurs- greater discrimination, segregation & sacrifice to all of our people of the community. Their statement that they “are opposed to any city insti- tution which practices segregation’ placed alongside of their advocacy of a “jim-erow” hospital is positive- ly silly, and if they really were in earnest’ in a ‘determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, to and ‘“jim-crow” action to prove said opposition. “This latest movement of the local advocates of a ‘jim- crow” East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital can be traced directly to the success of their ally, Colorline City Manager Hopkins, and the man- ager plan at the recent special elec- tion. We repeat, there will be no “jim-crow” hospital or East-Side- Branch of the City Hospital located in the “Negro section” of Cleveland. ters of the systems and for this purpose, cable vaults are con- structed, Vast System While presenting a considerable outlay in itself, the Ohio group of buildings is only a unit in a much vaster system, that of the Bell Sys- tem over the entire nation. This system owns more than 2,300 build- ings which, with the land on which they rest, are valued at approxi- mately $35,000,000, and which con- stitute probably the largest group of buildings belonging to any one company or institution in the coun- try. During 1928, 122 new build- ings were added and 39 additions to buildings were made, Before the close of 1929, it is probable that more than 200 will have constituted the Bell system building program for the year. All of these buildings, of course, are not central office’ buildings. Many of them serve storage and warehouse purposes to house the vehicle and tool outlay necessary for tht maintenance of such a vast system.
