CONSTITUTIONAL LAW "THE BUNK," CLARENCE DARROW TELLS NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION. Other Speakers Were "Muny" Judge Jas. A. Cobb of the Nation's Capital and Atty. Steven Brodsky of the I. L. D., N. Y. City—Seventh Annual Convention—Senator Green Honored! (Special to The Gazette) Standing before the seventh annual convention of our National Bar Association which convened in this city, last week Thursday and Friday this month, the judge, the great criminal lawyer and agnostic, told our people not to rely on the law, the judges, the preachers or even the Lord to help them, to "deep-seated prejudices have brot long ages of oppression to the black race whose present is hard, but not easy," and that it is not promising." Then turning to Judge Jas. A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C., who had just addressed the convention on "The Constitutionality of Federal Anti-Lynching Legislation," Mr. Darrow said: "The laws and opinions which you cite are the bunk," as anti-lynching legislation in prevorigent of the individual state. The barrier of color and the badge of slavery must be removed from the minds and hearts of the white people of America, North, South, East and West, before Afro-Americans will have an equal chance before the law and the rights of the nation spoke the speaker. Mr. Darrow spoke for one hour, flanked on either side and in the rear by distinguished members of the Cleveland bench and bar, and National officers of the Bar Association. St. John A. M. E. church, E. 40th St. was packed, with an overflow in the Sunday School rooms. A speaker arose there was a tremendous ovation and after that, silence. His first word were cutting. Mr. Darrow Speaks. Mr. Darrow dwelt at length upon his fifty years of practice at the bar and "cited instances of his inability during that length of time to get colored men placed for jury service on important cases. "In my fifty years in the practice of law," he said, "there has not been a single Negro juror on an important case I have had in this country." Referring to our members of the bar, Mr. Darrow said that prejudices made it impossible for a black lawyer, pleading the cause of a black client, to receive a modicum of justice in the courts. He was accompanied to the meeting by Judge Manual Levine and was introduced by Atty. Selmo C. Glenn, a former assistant county prosecutor, general chairman of the local convention committee of arrangements. Modron Josephus Hadley. Bar Association Convention Notes. Last week Friday afternoon, the convention arose in tribute to Senator John P. Green, the oldest practicer of the Bar Association, and the conclusion of his address on "The Colored Attorney in America." AUGUST 15,1931. His Progress and Advancement." It was a gem! Mr. Green has practiced law for 61 years and is now 86 years old. Atty, Alexander H. Martin, speaking on "The Challenge of Present Day Conditions to the American Lawyer," urged President Hoover to call together a "concord of nations," with accredited representatives from PETER H. BURKE Ex-Senator John P. Green. all nations of the world so form a co-operative government of the world. Other speakers during the sessions were Josiah F. Henry, Jr., president of the Monumental Bar Association, Baltimore; C. Francis Stradford, Chicago; S. Heiley, Toledo; F. B. Ransom, Indianapolis, and Richard Evans, Waco, Tex. Calling on all law enforcement agencies, from the federal government to local authorities, to stem the time of disregard for law, and to enforce the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, for the protection of the rights of all citizens, the National Bar Association, at its closing meeting, Friday, issued an address to the people of the country, urging action. The publication of a Law Journal and a National Directory of Afro-American lawyers is included in the program for the coming year. Dianapolis will be the next meeting place (in 1932). Officers elected for the 1931-33 administration are: Jesse S. Heslip, Toledo, press, Assist. States Atty. Euclid Taylor, Chicago, first vice-pres.; E.

And Scores of Both Races Injured —Chicago Police in Bloody Massacre of Unemployed Workers. Chicago, Ill.—As a result of the police massacre of unemployed, last week Monday, three Afro-Americans were killed and scores of both races wounded by the police. The three dead were Abo Cayetan, a member of the Communist Party: John O'Neil and Thomas Page, members of the Unemployed Council. Scores were arrested following the massacre. According to the sworn statements of eye witnesses the police suddenly and without warning opened fire with machine and riot guns on several hundred persons who, under the leadership of the Council, were Rose Warrick, an unemployed woman of the race. Several policemen were so badly beaten they had to be sent to the hospital. On Wednesday, the bodies of two of the victims, Gray and O'Neill, were removed by the Communist Party from an undertaker's parlor to Odd Fellows' hall at 3337 S. State St. Here, all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, they were viewed by thousands of both races. A "workers' guard of honor," composed of colored and white workers stood at attention, night and day, during the time the bodies were at Odd Fellows' hall, several hundred workers taking turns on guard duty. L. C. Lubin, E. 93d St., Wednesday received suspended fines of $100 and costs on each of two charges that he operated a downtown employment bureau without a license, committing the second offense while on bond awaiting the court. Lubin pleaded guilty before Pollock. The fines were suspended on the condition that within 30 days he pay back registration fees to clients who made the charges. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OUR ONLY CONGRESSMAN "TAKEN TO TASK" BY SOME OF HIS THIRD WARD, CHICAGO, CONSTITUENTS. Object to DePriest Coining Money Making Speeches Thruout the Country and Doing Nothing in Congress—"Louie" Anderson Their Candidate. Chicago, Ill.—When, in 1930, Mr. Oscar DePriest entered the U. S. House of Representatives, it had been more than a quarter of a century since an Afro-American had, as a member, sat in Congress. It was sincerely hoped that this, our only representative, would be a credit to our entire population not only to the first Congressional district of Illinois, but brought the United States. Our hearts were gladdened, souls of black folk were quickened, ambitions were stimulated and buoyed up. In truth, Mr. DePriest went into Congress with the universal good wishes of all Afro-Americans. To be sure, those who knew him best had no high hopes for any distinguished service from him. They knew that by temperament and ability he was unfitted for the position. By temperament he was a bully and a braggart—his chief output being buff and bluster, bally-handed, a sense of propriety, devoid of all sense of propriety and dignity, he entered upon his career in congress like a veritable ox in the parlor or a bull in a china closet. At the very outset he failed and failed miserably. As every student of the problem knows, disfranchisement, jim-crow cars, lynching and discrimination in public accommodations and amusements rest upon the question of equitable reapportionment. Shortly after taking his seat the reapportionment measure came up. Practically every congressman was present except Oscar DePriest. And where was he? Well, instead of being in his seat, representing the interests of our folk everywhere—heaven defend!—he was in Atlanta riding in a ballyhoo parade and trying to elce a new grant, a new kis, and this, despite the fact that unlike all other laws and measures, the reapportionment bill can come up only once every ten years! The next occasion where Mr. DePriest had a chance to show his metal was the last day of that session when an appropriation bill for a school in South Dakota took "for white children." Mr. DePriest properly arose to object, whereupon the congressman from South Dakota explained that there, were no colored children in his state, but if ever any came there he would have the bill changed. And Congressman DePriest accepted this explanation as satisfactory, persuitting the bill to be approved. This was a conscientious consent. Here was a clear question of incompetence. Mr. DePriest meant well but did not know, even though any high school boy or girl would have required "white" to be stricken from the bill and let it read simply "children" as every American law ought to read. Again, Congress is a deliberative assembly. Its members must debate, speak, be alert at argument and ready at repatriate. Almost every week we pick up the papers announcing that Congressman DePriest will speak in this city or that—in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia or Louisiana. But what Afro-Americans want to know is, when is Oscar DePriest going to make a speech in Congress where he is supposed to represent them? need to be said to the president, the Mr. DePriest has been a complete disappointment wherever he has appeared, the people everywhere inquiring—is this the best the so-called up-to-date Afro-Americans of Chicago could do? We are by no means apologists for President Hoover. He falls short of our ideal president by parasangs and miles. He has his faults. Nevertheless, it seems a queer quirk of the cranium by which Oscar DePriest can go through the country advocating the Democratic party to vote Republican ticket, and no Afro-American can even get on the Democratic ticket. Not only that, President Hoover did for him what no Democrat in the White House would even think of doing. The President and Mrs. Hoover invited Mrs. DePriest to tea just as they did every other congressman's wife. Of course, Mr. DePriest, running true to form, made the worst sort of mistake out of being a Democrat. Instead, maintaining absolute silence and conducting himself with deocrum, dignity and propriety, he capitalized the affair by going through the country lecturing on it and charging ad- THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

The worst possible taste one could conceive of! The indictment of DePriest's negligence, inefficiency and incompetence in congress is too long to run the gamut. The foregoing counts, however, are sufficient. Self-examination would counsel Mr. DePriest's voluntary retiring. But this is too much to hope for from this blunder- OSCAR DE PRIEST ing, misrepresentative congressman. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the voters to assume that task. This we cheerfully do. The Third Ward Republican Organization hereby takes the opportunity to invite the Hon. Louis B. Anderson to enter the congressional race in the First Congressional Session ininois. Here is one of the ablest parliamentarians America. For 14 years he has been alderman from the Second Ward of Chicago. From 1915 to 1919 he was the council floor leader for Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson, deporting himself in such a manner as to secure the full approval of both sides of the council chamber. "As a member of the finance committee, he was recognized as being one of the best informed men in the council on Chicago finances. Alderman Anderson, the Municipal Voters League, was called by this body a "smart alderman." While a group is in a minority, it has to win its spurs through tact and sheer intellectual ability. Everyone who knows Mr. Anderson must concede that he is a diplomat. Possessing a fine sense of humor, endowed with splendid intellectual attainments, dowered with a wealth of tact and diplomacy, alert in debate, ready at reparse, a mature and experienced legislator—we uniquely endorse and commend to the councilman from the Illinois First Congressional District, Alderman Louis Bernard Anderson.

Bosses Lynch Another New Orleans, La — Oscar Livingston was jailed on the Grimal frame-up charge of "raping a white woman" because he asked better pay for his work. Later, they took him out on the highway, about 35 miles from here, and riddled his body with bullets. 16 Year Old Boy Lynched Haynesville, Ala. - A posse of "good citizens" of this community lynched a 16-year old boy here, last week Wednesday, on a "charge" of "attempting to rape" a white girl. The boy was only accused of speaking to the girl. He was shot 32 times and his body tied with a rope and a dog chain to the trunk of a tree.

In a speech at the 12th ward Democratic club's meeting, Tuesday evening in this city, Dr. L. L. Rog- ers, Afro-American Democratic local leader, “urged the organization's members to support Newton D. Baker should he become the Demo- eratic candidate for the Presidency. Of course, there is no likelihood of his nomination. The talk of it is simply Democratic “bunk” for the edification of residents of Cleve- land, particularly the _ Democrats. However, Mayor N. D. Baker, who when a candidate for mayor of the city of Cleveland, received more Afro-American votes than any of his Democratic predecessors in the office, absolutely. refused to give thom any recognition whatever and was frank enough to tell them why, as Rev. Horace C. Bailey can attest. ‘A southerner by birth, and an Ohio- an by adoption on the suggestion of Mayor Tom L. Johnson (deceased), Newton D. Baker, as president of the United States, could be “depend- ed upon” to give the “colored broth- ers,” Democrats, the same “cold shoulder” he gave the Afro-Ameri- cans who supported his candidacy for mayor of this city, years ago. Of course, much of*the foregoing, Dr. L. L. Rogers fs not familiar with because he hadn't arrived in the city as yet from “down home” (the south), It might be a good idea for him, and othgrs who are advis- ing our people to foolishly enlist under the Democratic banner for next year’s presidential campaign, to post themselves on Cleveland’s political history, especially as it had to do with our people, before prof- fering advice to our voters of this community. This reminds xs that at the same meeting, Dr. “Jimmie” Owen figured out that our people of this community were entitled to 1500 jobs and had fewer than 500. If Democrats were in power at the City Hall, just how many of these 500 jobs would we Have? Anybody can” answer that question. There wouldn't be twenty-five because the “hungry Democrats (white) are. far too numerous, and the support ‘the Democrats receive from our people of this community far too limited. Big difference between 500 and twenty-five, especially when you mean jobs, these days. NO FEDERAL ANTI-Lynching Law About a decade or more ago. when the,N. A. A. C. P. inaugurated its effort to secute the enactment of a Federal Anti-Lynching law, and their legal representative at Balti- more wrote the writer for a copy of his Ohio Mob Violence act or Anti- Lynching law, the first effective legislation of the kind in this coun- try, we sent it to him, of course, and wrote that in our judgment such an effort would be wasting time and money. First, because the infuence of the south with Repudli- can members of Congress, and the party's national leaders, was too strong to be overcome and would be for some years to come, the way things political were drifting. Our second reason was based upon the opinion of leading constitutional lawyers of the country, and that was that the regulation of mob vio- Jenee end lynching was 4 state Fight, pure and simple. And now somes no lees a person than. possibly the most eminent criminal lawyer in this country. Clarence Darrow of Chicago who says that “antl-lynch- ing legislation is a prerogative -of the individual state.” ‘That was the opinion of Judge Albion W. Tour- gee, leading writer, author and jur- Ist of forty years ago. Mr. Darrow characterizes “Muny” Judge Jas. A. Cobb's discussion of the subject, “The Constitutionality of Federal Anti-Lynching Legislation” as “the bunk.” We still cling to the idea that the effort to secure the enact- ment of a federal anti-lynching law 1 almost an inexcusable waste of time, money, and effort just as it has been for more than the last decade in the case of the N. A. A. ©. P. and those who worked with it We still believe that the thing to do is to promote anti-lynching laws in the various states. ‘The fact that we have done so well, in so many States of the union, in the last decade or so while the N. A. A. C. P. was wasting so much time, money and effort, but confirms and streng- thens us in that belief. Ilinois, with its almost verbatim copy of our Ohio Mob Violence Act or Anti- Lynching Law, was first to follow In Ohio’s wake. Then came Penn- sylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky and other states, making possibly more than a dozen, nearly all in the north, which is anything but a poor jshowing, and certainly a wonderful showing when compared with the fruitless efforts of the N. A. A. C. P., during the last decade or more, to seenre the enactment of a fed- eral anti-lynching law. HEAR! HEAR!! e. .

Walter Wills Sr. entering the couneilmanic race in the third district. “Billy” Williams says he is going in, too. He will make a strong candidate. Last week, Mayor Frank Hayden, of Peoria, Ill. in one “fell-swoop" wiped out the segregation in that city’s municipal bathing beaches, announcing that “municipal beaches are built and maintained by the tax payers of the city for the people, re- gardiess of race, creed or color.” Page City Manager Daniel E.

If there is one thing more than another that is calculated to hurt Atty. Jas. Metzenbaum’s candidacy for membership in the schoo! board it is that one of his sponsors is the pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. Rey. D, O. Walker was one of the first’ 15 local Afro-ministers who “signed up” with the City Charter faction, several years ago, and sought’ to deliver our vote of the third and fourth districts, particu- larly, to that side of the contest, but failed so dismally. His sponsor- ing any candidate does not help the latter, to say the least. It might interest our voters to look up Atty. Metzenbaum’s references in the past to the “roaring third” and the bulk of its inhabitants, if The Rounder's memory serves him correctly. ‘The redistricting plan drawn by Herman Finkle, City Council Re- publican floor-leader, has been ap- proved by the Council committee on legislation and will undoubtedly be passed by the Republican majority. Finkle'’s transfer involves a tran3- fer of population from the second to the third district and shifting one eouncilman from the third to the second. The change made, the first district would have a population of 37,860 for eacl councilman, the second, 36,549: the third, 32,432, and the fourth, 36,622. So there will be one less councilman to be elected in the third district. Good- by to Bundy and Payne and—good ‘aie?

All of our min- faters of the East End, at least, ought to get after Councilman Clay- borne George and have him stop that carnival which one of its con- cessionaires told The Rounder was being conducted for the financial benefit of his East End Political club.

But there's always Castorial as harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it itastes. Yet its gentle action will soothe a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine.

A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that needed.
