HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER Councilman Herman Finkle's contact with the masses of our people in Ward 12 has not given him the knowledge of them, especially the more intelligent, he should have, or he would understand their demand that TRAINED leadership be given the Portland-Outhwaite center. A failure to do this will surely help "The Blossom Triplets" next onslaught on his candidacy for re-election. Just what kind of representation our people have in the City Council of Cleveland from the 11th and 17th Wards has been fully realized during the extremely cold weather of the last two or three weeks by scores of Central Ave. street-car riders, of color particularly, who have nearly frozen to death, daily, while waiting impatiently for a street-car. The service rendered on that line would be regarded as a shame and disgrace by any of the other councilmen except those referred to. When those so-called "housing" representatives, who were around, a week or ten days ago, measuring property in E. 86th St. and elsewhere in the East End, come to your home and wish to enter it to make measurements, do not allow them to do so. They have no legal right to make such a request or to have it granted. In their eagerness to get some of the government's "housing" money, they are going too far. The Rounder urges The Gazette readers to pass this word along to other members of the race living in that section of the city. The Civil Service Commission is holding up the pay of a number of temporary appointments to Civil Service jobs given out by "The Blossom Triplets" (Payne, George and Bundy). The result is that a number of our men employed by the city in the Service and Utility's departments are suffering, these days, from political pains and headaches thru no fault of their own. Many of these jobs the "Triplets" and Councilman Finkle received in the first batch of over 200 given the "Triplets" to induce them to turn their backs on their own people and go to the support of a member of another group or race for a Directorship which was already represented in the mayor's cabinet. HOW SOON PROSPERITY? Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Editor of The Dunbar News, on "Handkerchief Head Negro Advisors"! New York City.—As the editor of The Dunbar News, among many other economists, pointed out in advance of the event, the effect of the minimum wage provisions of the N. R. A. has been to displace our labor in considerable amount not only in the South but also in the North and Middle West, thus increasing instead of diminishing the amount of unemployment in this already disadvantaged group. The same phenomenon, by the way, followed minimum wage legislation for women. The process is pretty thoroughly understood by all serious students of economic behavior. Now. President Robert Rus Roscoe C. Bruce. sa Moton of Tuskegee, Ala. Institute, in a carefully reasoned statement to the press took the perfectly sound position that the inevitable displacement of a certain amount of our labor here and there is a loss to the group which is much more than offset by the immeasurable valuable gain of setting the identical wage standards for American working men and women absolutely regardless of race, color and previous condition of servitude; and of preventing our labor from playing the detestable and socially dangerous role of "scab labor." "Jim Crow Negroes: It is reported from the Nation's capital, however, that certain self-appointed, "handkerchief head Negro" advisors of the N. R. A., in exact opposition to the admirable stand taken by Hon. Frances Perkins, U. S. Secretary of Labor, and President Moton, have been whispering advice in the ears of responsible officials that the minimum wage requirements be lowered for our workers surreptitiously and by indirection. Such underground, renegade "please-don't-quote-me" activity, we suppose, every good cause and every good man has to suffer. In the meantime, of course, our group are realizing more poignantly than before that they are in deed and in truth "the first to be fired and the last to be hired." Thus, as rent-payers they are bound to compare unfavorably with other groups which have always enjoyed higher wages and steadier employment and whom the return of prosperity reaches first. No wonder that millions of men and women of color in this land are today asking themselves, "How soon will this haunted return of prosperity reach us?" Have faith, we must exhort, and have it more abundantly. Our rich native endowment of optimism proves now a most important resource to ourselves and through us to the Nation. DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL FUNCTION Given by the Members of the Em broidery Club, plenidl Programme A unique social event was the tea given by the Lincoln Embroidery club honoring their twenty-fifth anniversary at Mrs. Charles Jordan's, E. 81st St. The club colors were blue and white, and each member wore a floral spray of blue and silver. The tea tables were beautifully arranged, and Mrs. Clarence Hunicut and Mrs. Cyril Crawford presided. The following program was rendered: Instrumental solo, Mrs Wm. Conners, singing of the club song, composed by Mrs. Harold T Gassaway. History of the club by Mrs. R. K. Moon; read by Mrs. Webster. Trumpet solo, Mrs. Gaynel Christian. Readings: "It's Better to Whistle Than Whine," and "An Answer to Prayer." Trumpet duet Miss Hazel Stovall and Mrs. Gaynel Christian. Mrs. Conners, accompanist. Many beautiful pieces of needle work were on display. Among the outstanding ones were a puff-quilt by Mrs. Hunnicut, crochet napkin rings by Mrs. Morton, and crochet towel by Mrs. Moon. About two hundred prominent women were guests. The club completed the day with a dinner for their husbands at the residence of Mrs. Cornelia Nickens. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS APERS! ing to The K.K.K. EIR EFFORTS CATERING TO MCIAL PREJUDICE. Us Against Light Plant Bonds— crimination at the Plant—Our congress Representation. For Catering to The K.K.K. CONDEMNS THEIR EFFORTS CATERING TO RACIAL PREJUDICE. Defends His Votes Against Light Plant Bonds Denounces Discrimination at the Plant-Our Need of Congress Representation. Rt. Rev, Isaac Lane, of the C. M. E. Church, who lives in Jackson, Tenn., is 100 years old, today. The alumni and friends of Lane College, that city, are raising funds for the institution to honor its founder, the venerable bishop. --- Charging that the administration of the municipal light plant has been accompanied by "wanton waste and corruption," Councilman Leroy N. Bundy, chairman of the utilities committee, Sunday afternoon, at St. James Forum, ripped into the local daily newspapers for their attitude toward Council members who voted against the bond issue for expansion of the plant. Minority Council groups had often been condemned for situations which the daily newspapers had created and were responsible for, he asserted. "I have been in the City Council for four years," Bundy said, "and the daily newspapers have never mentioned anything I did until I voted against this public bond issue for the second time. Explains His Vote. "Well, I'll tell you why I voted against it. I wish you could sit in with me on the Council and see the wanton waste and corruption that go on. You certainly wouldn't want to give them any more money to use in the same way. Corruption and graft are not peculiar to any single group of people; the bank crash proved that. "And I'll tell you another reason why I didn't vote for it. Our city light plant is a closed corporation that doesn't allow 'Negroes' to work there. I'm not going to vote my money and yours and that of the rest of the taxpayers for an institution that segregates and discriminates so unjustly." The only form of government which will do justice to the public, Bundy said, is one that represents all the people, minority as well as majority groups. The daily newspapers, he charged, had helped to destroy this ideal by criticising the minority groups. "They have poisoned the minds of the people in Cleveland by holding up before them four leaders, a Jew an Italian and two 'Negroes,' and heaping on them fictitious accusations," he said. "Then they say the groups these men represent are not fit to hold office and take responsibilities. We are condemned for certain conditions that the daily newspapers create and are responsible for. Attacks Daily Newspapers. "All I ask is that the Plain Dealer and the rest of the daily papers follow the records of these men, and they will see that not once have they taken an unfair advantage of the people's trust. But the daily newspapers do not do that. They con- Doings of the Race Paul Lawrence Dunbar's mother died in Dayton, Sunday. Our three Illinois legislators are backing a bill to wipe out color lines at the 1934 World's Fair. None of our families in West Virginia or Ohio have ever failed to "collect the indemnity" provided in the anti-lynching laws of those states. Dr. H. Binga Dismond of New York City, son of the former Chicago banker of that name, was recently divorced by his wife, a well-known N. Y. City journalist. "Green Pastures" celebrated its fourth birthday, Monday, in the theater of the branch of Ohio State University at Athens. The play is touring this state after a wonderfully successful southern tour. A hearing on a motion for the reversal of the Scottsboro lynch-verdicts, against Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, was refused by Judge W. W. Calahan in Decatur, Ala., the first of the week. The following is too good not to give at this time. It seems that a railroad passenger noticing a Filipino no waiter in a club car, recently, addressed the Filipino as "George," to which the latter replied, "Me no 'George!' 'George' up in Pullman car." Meaning, of course, the "Negro" Pullman porter on the train. 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. tinue to use the matter of race and color to prejudice the minds of the unsuspecting public." The congressional districts throughout the nation should be redistributed. Bundy said, to eliminate gerrymandering and to enable min- M. Councilman Roy Bundy. ority groups to elect representatives in all law-making bodies. He asked all "Negroes" to support only those candidates for election to the State Legislature, next fall, as were pledged to vote for such "redistributing." "We need 'Negro' representation in every law-making body in the land if the doctrine of the Constitution that government should be abolished, if it does not guarantee the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, is to be followed out," he said. "If any group needs representation it is the "Negroes," who are economically in the lowest class and who, by reason of exploitation and economic hardship have special interests, and because of our numbers have great problems as a group. "There are 100,000 'Negroes' in Cleveland and we need a representative in the Congress at Washington, D. C., but we'll never get him as long as we sit idly by." OLD AGE PENSIONS What the New Law Provides—If Eligible File Your Application at Once. Columbus, O.—The man who helped amass a majority of 800,000 votes for an Ohio old age pension system on Monday assumed the task of distributing the fund's first $3,000,000 purse. Mathew L. Brown, of Springfield, state secretary of the fraternal order of Eagles and of the old age pension conference, was appointed director of the state pension system. He immediately set about the task of organizing the system. He is expecting to receive 100,000 applications for pensions and the big job will be to decide which of the persons applying are eligible under the law. There probably are 30,000 eligibles. The pension law, approved in a state-wide vote last November, provides that a maximum of $25 a month shall be paid to citizens more than 65 years old who have lived in Ohio at least fifteen years and have a private income of less than $300 a year.

IN UNION 16 STRENGTH SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1934 Southerners, particularly members of Congress, are already emasculating the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill which was none to strong in its original state. Rev. Amos H. Carnegie of Flushing, Queens County, New York, wants to raise one hundred and fifty million dollars to provide "jim-crow" hospitals throughout the country. The Rev. Amos' head ought to be examined, or he ought to be sent back "down home." --- Damphool prejudiced - Americans are like "a poison fly in a pan of milk" wherever they go, especially abroad, it seems. It was so in London, England, and Berlin, Germany, some years ago, and then they tried to do the same thing in Paris, France, and Havana, Cuba, but with little or no success. --- Governors Rolph of California and Ritchie of Maryland were to appear, this week, before the U. S. Senate committee in opposition to the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. Their arguments undoubtedly developed, in part at least, the "right of every free American to do a little lynching as a healthy and constitutional activity," ironically says an exchange, newspaper. These two men have given the greatest encouragement to lynch-murder, mob violence, it has had for many years. --- Dining-car waiters on the Nickel Plate Railroad were notified, Tuesday, that their services would no longer be required after April 1 or 15, '34. Rumor has it that they are to be succeeded by Filipinos employed by the Pullman Company which has fought so hard and so long to keep from paying its Afro-American porters a living wage, compelling them to depend most largely on tips. This is a great country! How its leading corporations and even its government encourage (?) our people to be loyal American citizens. Note how it treats our veterans of the War of the Rebellion, Spanish - American and World Wars! Even foreigners are preferable for employment, especially these days, to the loyal Afro-American. Lord, have mercy! Mrs. Thalia Fortesque Massie, the central figure in the sensational Honolulu case of 1932, when an innocent Hawaiian athlete, Joseph Kahahawai, was lynch-murdered in the most approved southern style, has finally secured a divorce in Reno, Nev., from her husband, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie of the U. S. Navy. We sincerely trust that this is the final chapter of that Massie sensation. It was a stench in the nostrils of about all decent people from beginning to end. The Massies are native Kentuckians. Lieut. Massie, Mrs. Massie's mother, Mrs. Fortesque, and two enlisted men of the U. S. Navy were convicted of manslaughter but their sentences were commuted. This last was almost as bad as their Kahahawai lynch-murder SENATOR WAGNER WRONG! U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York State in an address at Washington, D. C., last week Tuesday, told the senate judiciary committee that "only the United States can stop lynching with anti-lynching legislation." Presumedly the Senator had reference to lynching throut the country and not in any particular state. State legislation HAS stopped lynching in the North to the minimum (as much as can be expected from any law). The United States will never be able to stop lynching in the South, even "with (federal) anti-lynching legislation," providing, of course, the U. S. supreme court adjudges said legislation constitutional. Some of this country's most eminent jurists are statesmen for more than 25 years have declared a constitutional federal anti-lynching law an impossibility because the regulation of mob violence comes under the head of police power of the various states and therefore the state only has the right to legislate against the same. We give the Senator (Wagner) credit for being sincere and honest, even if he is not correct in making the statement. His other statement that "states have failed in trying to curb mobs" is only applicable to those in the South. It is not true of a number of states in the North like Ohio and Illinois that have effective mob violence acts or anti-lynch-murder laws. BUNDY'S "BLAST"! In explaining his vote against a public bond issue for the expansion of the Municipal Light Plant, Sunday afternoon, at St. James forum, Councilman Leroy Bundy, a "Blosson Triplet," said among other things that he was not going to vote the taxpayers' money "for an institution that segregates and discriminates so unjustly." So far so good. His stand, if he maintains it, is perfectly right and proper from a race viewpoint or standpoint. Continuing he said: "The daily newspapers of Cleveland have poisoned the minds of the people by holding up before the public the four councilmen, a Jew (Herman Finkle), an Italian (President of the council "Sonny" De Maioribus), and two 'Negroes' (Payne and Bundy), and heaping on them fictious accusations. Then they say the groups these men represent are not fit to hold office and take responsibilities." The foregoing is in a measure true but not entirely so. The main objections to the four councilmen are personal and political, and not racial. Bundy also complained, and in some measure was right in so doing, against the daily newspapers' use of "the matter of race and color to prejudice the minds of the unsuspecting public." This is too frequently done and for one purpose obvious, the other being to cater to the Ku Klux Klan sentiment and element still remaining in the community. We agree heartily with Bundy as to the matter of representation for minority groups in all law-making bodies. Also with his urge that our people support only candidates for the State Assembly, this fall, who will pledge themselves to support "Congressional district redistribution" at least for this and adjoining counties, because that will have to come if we are ever to get representation in the Congress from this state. But when that time comes, if it ever does, we assure Councilman Bundy, with all the power at our command, that a "Blossom Triplet," who helped to keep his own people from securing representation in the mayor's cabinet by supporting a member of another group for a directorship, and sided with Color-Line Director of Welfare Dudley Blossom, will not be selected by our people of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County as their candidate for Congress. It is true, we need "representatives in all law-making bodies," but we do not need and will not have any more such representation as "The Blossom Triplets" (Bundy, Payne and George) have given us in the last six years and more. It is entirely too expensive, too costly and too harmful. Then that final statement of Bundy's that "there are 100,000 'Negroes' in Cleveland" is open to considerable question. It is not true, according to the latest U. S. census. The white race cares little or nothing about what the "Negro" may call them or say about them.—Dean Kelly Miller, Howard University Washington, D. C. The foregoing is positively silly! For godness sake, Kelly, get out of that prejudiced environment you have lived in too long. "THEY ALSO SUFFER." Atty. John E. Ballard "Bumps" President Wm. Green, of the A. F. of L., Good and Proper— Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: I recently listened to William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, as he protested the maltreatment of the Jewish people in Germany. But Mr. Green unfortunately failed to mention a colored group of people, too, who are a part of Germany, flesh and soul, who are being unjustly treated by Hitler, an Austrian, in his eagerness to preserve the purity of the "so-called" Nordic blood-stream, by an order of sterilization of both colored and Jew. Moreover, while we cannot refrain from sympathy for our Jewish brethren, yet why should Mr. Green allow himself to get all steamed up over a situation far away, when right under his very nose colored workers are being denied the right to earn an honest living and maintain family respectability because of discrimination practiced by his organization. Furthermore, the lynchings in this country, all occurring with apparently systematic regularity over diversified sections, solicit no word of condemnation from the gentleman. Cleveland. J. E. BALLARD. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. MARCH 3. 1934 Prime Sport News Owens' Greatest Jump! Saturday's sport-events in New York City at famous Madison Square Garden, saw records eclipsed with abandon, both locally and nationally. Topping the list of record performances in local interest was the feat of Jesse Owens, former E. Tech star and now a freshman at O. S. U. Jesse hurtles 25 feet 3¼ inches thru the air to crack, by eight inches, the old world indoor mark for the broad jump set by DeHart Hubbard of Michigan in 1926, and to electrify 16,000 spectators when he outclassed his nearest competitor by a margin of a full foot. The Cleveland's performance was one of the best ever seen in any track competition. He leaped 24 feet and ten inches in his broad feat. On his third and final jump Jesse really let himself out. Using his speed as a sprinter to full advantage, he hit the take-off board at a terrific clip, spread-eagled thru the air like a bolt and landed exactly twelve inches farther out in the pit than the runner-up. Euplace Peacock of Temple, another "Afro." The powerfully muscled Cleveland boy seemed on his way to a double triumph in the 60-yard sprint. After capturing two preliminary heats in convincing fashion, he lined up in the final with Metcalfe, Ben Johnson of Columbia, both "Afros," and Sam Maniacl also of Columbia. Owens got off fast and at the 35-yard mark was a yard or so in front of his three rivals, closely bunched. As they churned down the boards in the closing yards Metcalfe, a strong finisher, swept by. Just at the tape Johnson also lunged past Owens. Ralph Metcalfe, stocky Marquette University ace, equaled his own world record of 6.7 seconds for 60 meters to win the race in which Owens finished third. To Compete in Carnival. Owens is scheduled to be one of the featured performers in the eleventh indoor scholastic carnival in Public Hall, March 24. He has been invited to participate and it is expected that he will be here to face leading Cleveland stars in two of four A. A. U. events. Because of inadequate facilities for broad jumping, Jesse will not be able to display his record breaking form in that event. The 50-yard dash and low hurdles, the mile and the half-mile are the four A. A. U. events. These are open to all amateurs. Owens is slated to compete in the first two. For the first time, the classic will be sponsored solely by the schools, and will be open only to those in Cuyahoga County. K. of C. Wants Owens. Columbus, O.—The first reaction from the east to the record-breaking broad jump performance of Jesse Owens was received Wednesday. In an invitation to return to New York for the Knights of Columbus meet, March 17. Jesse received 1,857 votes from fans picking the outstanding athlete at the New York meet, last Saturday, to stand fifth. DOING GOOD WORK! County Treasurer Boyle Collects Des- limiquera Sev- cal Funds, One-Third of Our Woman. For some time past the office of County Treasurer John J. Boyle has featured a drive to collect delinquent realty taxes with the result that a week ago approximately $1,135,000 had been collected, some of which had been on the books a long time; also delinquent personal taxes of $390,000 have been collected. In an effort to speed up the sending out of the current realty tax bills, Mr. Boyle has recalled his extra assistants who aided the regular force about two months ago.

Subscribe Now LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.N.R. 12 with caterpillar treads and skis, the Matthews motor boat cruiser and last, but not least, the big Kohler generating set for our electric light supply. It is a twenty-four hour job satisfying the appetites of all these units. One plane uses one kind of gas, another another and so on, even to the motorboat and the generator. Now that we have actually and permanently landed, the real job has begun. But I'm in good shape for work. You know, all of us softies were given special training when we started this journey back at Norfolk All of us, scientists and everybody, were set to work in the engine room and holds for a month, to harden us up. Otherwise we'd collapse in an hour with the work we're doing now. All day long—and that means 24 hours long—radio messages arrive from the various caches we've established all over the place so if the ice goes out it may not take everything with it. They tell us to send ten gallons of Tydol gas for the tractors to Number One cache, send fifteen gallons to Pressure Camp for the snowmobiles, send 25 gallons of Veedol oil to Little America for the Condor, 20 gallons to Number Two cache for the Fokker. Then there are calls for kerosene for the stoves. It's like a combination of Fifth Avenue and Roosevelt Field here, with the automotive activity. The amount of gasoline and oil used is tremendous. In one 24-hour period the planes, tractors and other motor equipment drew 750 gallons of gas and 60 gallons of oil. And I have to keep track of it all, seeing that it all gets safely to our permanent home at Little America and meanwhile making sure that as they draw it each machine gets the proper fuel and lubricants. Here we have vivid illustrations of the old and new methods of explorative transportation. It takes a dog team three hours to go between the ship and Little America, touring about four miles around the dangerous pressure ridges and crevasses. Any of the planes makes the same trip in three minutes with a greater load. It is interesting and thrilling, this unloading business, with planes roaring overhead, tractors milling over the ice, snowmobiles whizzing along throwing up big chunks of snow and the dog teams straggling along the side of the trail. There will be no rest until all the supplies are safely at Little America. Foodstuffs, gasoline and oil take priority over everything else. We are working strictly on our own code—20 hours a day!

AND TO THINK THAT OUR HOME WAS NEARLY BROKEN UP WHEN I ACCUSED MY WIFE OF STEALING THAT QUARTER TEN YEARS AGO! PRESSURE CAMP, SOME WHERE IN ANTARTICA, Feb 8 (via Mackay Radio): Good bye, good old Jacob Ruppert Our grand old steel flagship, never intended for pounding through hundreds of miles of ice cakes as big as the Brooklyn Bridge and bergs as big as half of Boston, is leaving us for a whole year. I hate to see her go. I bet I'll yell like a fool when he heaves into sight again next December or January She has been a grand old friend to us, noisy, smelly, uncomfortable, but we've felt safe on her that is comfort. that is, compar- tively safe. All least she never showed any tendency to crack open and spill us all into the sea, the way this whole landscape around here is do- ing ```markdown ``` Commodore Jürensen and Cap tain Verleger did a magnificent job bringing us Capt. Robert A. J. English, of the Bear bringing us through those hundreds of miles of roaring, tumbling, threatening ice. Many times a false move would have sent us to the bottom of the world's coldest ocean. But those wonderful men don't make false moves. The Jake's going back to Dunedin, I think, or Port Chalmers, New Zealand, to be laid up for a year. And we're staying on the ice. I wonder! What will she find when she returns? Well, we'll be in communication by radio with her and the rest of the world all the time and we can tell Gjertsen our troubles even if he can't get to us. The Ruppert is empty of supplies —450 tons. I feel that I personally must have carried it all onto the ice and lifted it onto the tractor and dog sledges and airplanes and snowmobiles. I'm that weary. Now the wonderful old Bear of Oakland—and she is old—64 years—is with us pouring more stuff out on the ice and getting 250 tons of that borrowed coal from the Ruppert. They've both got to get out of here quickly before this whole place freezes up and squeezes them to death. Wouldn't we be in a pickle then? I am now watching absolutely the world's most peculiar sight. Three cows and a baby bull on their way over the ice to Little America, Iceberg and his mother, Klondike, are riding in style in a crate on a sledge behind a tractor where I helped to fasten them. Foremost Southern Girl and Deerfoot are walking over the bumpy ice so buried in blankets they look like moving rug-piles. One thing, we can still laugh. In fact, we're laughing most of the time, in spite of our worries, work and troubles. And now, I've got the job I came on this trip to fill-fuel engineer—in charge of all gasoline and oil for the Condor, Pilgrim and Fokker airplanes and a Kellett autogyro, the two Citroen and one Cletrac tractors, the two Ford snowmobiles WAS RANSOM DRUNK? The Bishop Charged With Ugly Talk and Conduct—Ministerial Alliance Registers a Vigorous Protest. Detroit, Mich.—Russell J. Cowans, a writer, in the Chicago Defender of Feb. 24, '34, referring to the Rt. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, bishop of the third A. M. E. district, who resides at Wilberforce, O., says "many high in A. M. E. Church circles here, in their denunciation of the bishop's actions, claim he was intoxicated when he addressed a large gathering in St. Stephens A. M. E. church, on the evening of Jan. 29, '34." According to Cowans, they also declare that the bishop "drew a knife out of his pocket and threatened to cut the throats" of persons in the audience. The result has been that the Ministerial Alliance of this city at their meeting, last week, adopted a resolution, condemning the action of the bishop and saying that it reflects upon African Methodism in the city of Detroit.

Editor- OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injury received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like rigit of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and IF YOU IMAGINE YOU'RE UP AGAINST IT BECAUSE YOUR WIRE'S BROTHER LINES WITH YOU, MOTHER WRITES THAT SHE AND AUNT TILLIE AND UNCLE ZEB AND COUSINS TOBY LILLY, OSCAR, MERMAN, CHESTER PAUL AND TINY ARE COMING TO VISIT US FOR A YEAR American New Feature Inc costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in falling to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. 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 fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

When "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman Payne, George and Bundy) broke their pledge to their constituents "to do all in their power to help oust Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom," for his refusal to permit our boys and girls only to train in City Hospital, but had the brazen effrontery to support him for reappointment to the position, that was bad, VERY BAD from a race-loyalty viewpoint or standpoint. But it was infinitely worse for them to urge the appointment of a member of another group or race for membership in the mayor's cabinet in preference to one of their own race. What makes this still worse is the fact that the other group or race already had a representative in the mayor's cabinet. Our voters constitute practically one-third of the Republican voting strength of this city and are entitled to at least two of the seven cabinet positions, but only asked one, and it would have been to the best interests of the party had this request been granted. Our voting strength is a factor of the local Republican party larger than that of any race or group represented in the mayor's cabinet. Recent years have witnessed the loss of hundreds of our votes in this city to independent and Democratic candidates, and the near future will see a far greater exodus unless Republican leaders "snap out of it" and cut their studied refusal to give our people what their voting strength entitles them to.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. AFTER 29 years' search, the Transvaal, South Africa, has given up what is believed to be the "other half" of the famous Cullinan diamond, the largest diamond ever found. The "other half" was picked up in two parts; one a 500 carat diamond of good quality, and the other a 726-carat stone which is flawless. The Transvaal rightly has been called the treasure-house province of South Africa. It has earned the right, as well, to be called a famous treasure region of the world, for out of its hills and plains have come billions of dollars worth of gold and diamonds, not to mention other valuable minerals. The Transvaal is young in history. Its oldest town, Potchefstroom, now an important South African educational center, will not round out its first century until 1939. One has but to glance at Johannesburg, the province's capital, to get the spirit of the Transvaal. Strangely impressive, as one approaches the city, are miles of mine dumps surrounding the Witwatersrand, the mountainous backbone of the province. Across the vast plain they stretch like avenues of mammoth monuments, as if promising a climax of prehistoric grandeurs. Yes, grandeurs—but of what land? For sometimes they align themselves in a great wall, recalling China's. Or, again, you catch in their outflung vista a resemblance to Egypt's pyramids or to Mesopotamia's ziggurats. Or, yet again, their sloping, sand-hued massifs suggest military fortifications on a scale the world has never known. The colossal picture tempts one's fancy. If the Rand's gold mines crumbled to nothingness, leaving only the dumps, some writer a millennium hence might conceivably describe them as "those mighty works, reared perhaps as defenses or patriotic monuments by the ancients of the Twentieth century." If you ask a local statistician to give you some approximate idea of the dumps' tonnage, he may ask in turn: "Would you prefer it in ocean greyhounds or in Egyptian pyramids? Twenty thousand Mauretanias would about equal and 12,000 Leviathans would somewhat exceed the dumps' tonnage. Or, shifting the comparison, that tonnage would be approximated by aligning across the Rand 102 replicas of the great pyramid." Stumbled on Ten Billions. Stubbing one's toe against a ten-billion-dollar gold reef is an experience reserved to the few. It was in 1886 that George Walker, out for a stroll, accidentally kicked into a gold-bearing outcrop of what proved to be the main reef of the Witwatersrand. Here, shaped like a vast bowl imbedded face-upward, was a 70-mile stretch of gold-impregnated rock that, if you believe in Kismet, had awaited George Walker's intrusive toe ever since early geologic times. And now upon that treeless, uninhabited no man's land there appeared a tawdry mining village of tents and covered wagons. Telegraph wires hummed and the village became a raw, tin-shack town of 3,000 people. The prevailing crude process lost half the gold worked. Yet who cared, since the reef seemed inexhaustible? Supplies were teamed from 300 miles away. Yet who minded fancy prices? And, as to the water shortage, "All right; let's bring in champagne!" Thus began the babyhood of Johannesburg, which today, though a mere youth in years, is a giant in achievement. The largest African town south of Calro and chief commercial plexus of the Union's hinterland, "Jo'bur" has a municipal area of nearly 82 square miles and some 300,000 people. In the Deep Mines. The Witwatersrand mines, whether at work or play, present a unique sight. Here one is in work hours descending by "skip" (lift) into the interior of the earth at the speed of an express elevator. Johannesburgers dig holes as grandiosely as Americans rear skyscrapers—more grandiosely, in fact, for your alighting point proves to be one and one-third miles below the earth's surface. Your impression of this subterranean electric-lit town, with its avenues and cross-streets, where thousands of men are drilling or loading the auriferous conglomerate, is one of cleanliness, neatness, and—thanks to the giant ventilators—of a not-too-uncomfortable warmth. You stay long enough to watch a surface hoist start off with its 910 ton load, which it will lift up that pile or more of shaft, to the crush ing and reduction plant, in about two minutes. Then you regain the skip and ascend once more to what, measuring holes by skyscrapers, the cable operator might conceivably announce as "Two hundredth floor, last stop!" That which you have glimpsed is but a tiny corner of what is, in effect, a vast subterranean city, whose axis measures 70 miles, whose workers number 190,000, and whose shafts, avenues, and streets total 4,000 miles, or approximately the length of the African continent. And the business of this super-mole city is to disgorge over one-half of the world's annual gold production. How to handle that grand total of 212,000 men, 90 per cent of them Bantu, who, either above ground or under it, work on the Rand? Recreation—whether golf, tennis, bowls, swimming, or native dances—is universal, with inter-mine sports as a corollary. As to health and safety, each man regularly undergoes medical examination, first aid is taught to many thousands, while that cheery organ, the reef, advises you on everything, from keeping fit to giving accident-prevention tips to American visitors in what is thought to be Americanese, as thus: "Say, folks, we're right here at a real slap-up gold mine. Lady from Memphis, please don't eject your gum down the shaft. That pellet will accomplish a velocity of 5,000,000 miles per second and give one a headache." Huge Cost of Supplies. Whoever presides over the mines' commissariat must at times develop a genuine housewife's headache. Let us imagine a symbolic Mr. and Mrs. Transvaal Goldmines making up their household books at the close of 1928: "Hum! Six millions of dollars' worth of food for our native boys. Rather steep, my dear!" "Let me look, papa, Oh, 23,000 tons of meat, beans, and fish—that accounts for it." "Hum! I suppose 400 tons of soap for baths and 3,000 tons of candles are correct? . . . Here's $200,000 for the boys' clothing, slickers, and boots. Hum! Spring cleaning—that's the paint and tar—$180,000. But what's this extra $20,000 for?" "Salt, papa. The boys love their pinch of salt, and—" "Salt! Just salt! Why, mamma, do you realize that our little household is costing us in stores, $74,000,000 a year?" As to recreation, the "boys'" weekly war dance rivals a circus, a rodeo, and a football match combined. Here is a native compound disgorging its thousands of black Shangaans who are welcoming other thousands of black McChopis, the former tribe's invited guests. Intriguing, too, are such borrowings of white man's "medicine" as armlets of Red Cross buttons, fountain pens thrust through ear lobes, and medical charts stuck on like mustard plasters. But the Transvaal, like South Africa in general, as is as varied in respect to treasure houses as was ancient Delphi, with its "treasuries." In the Pretoria region, and also near Rustenburg and in the "Bushveld Complex," there are apparently unlimited iron resources, while the last-named region promises to yield one of the greatest platinum deposits in the world. The Transvaal's annual production values in gold, silver, platinum, and the base metals total something like $15,000,000. Diamonds May Be Anywhere. And then there are the ever-crop- ping-up diamonds—one might almost say, those irrepressible South African diamonds. Really, one never knows where they will turn up next. Here is the Transvaal's famous Premier mine, an even larger crater thus its defunct forerunner at Kimberley. In about a quarter of a century the Premier has produced some $6\%$ tons of diamonds, including the famous Cullinan. Its longest dimension was $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches, its shortest, was 2 inches, and it was cut into nine large stones and scores of smaller ones. Blasting hour at the Premier, as beheld from the crater's edge, is a striking sight. At the given moment a red flag flutters, a bell clangs, and antlike multitudes of workmen are seen scurrying for shelter. There ensues a veritable barrage of some 2,000 dynamite charges, hurling successive masses of blue earth in air; then the explosions die down. the workers reappear to load the debris on trucks that ascend to the crushing plant, and the day's big diamond "offensive" is over. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1934 Crisp White Neckwear's the Thing By CHERIE NICHOLAS SUCH an exciting season of striking crisp white neckwear as is this! Seems as if most of spring and summer costume interest is centering about neckwear treatments. It really is not overstating the matter to say that frilly, frivolous and altogether fascinating details of necklines, sleeves, shoulders and wrists are just about to "steal the show." That oft-repeated theme of black-and-white comes to us for spring in terms of chic black frocks which are lavishly enlivened with the most be-gulling crisp white neckwear fancy can picture. For that matter, whether the dress be one of the new black or dark blue crepes or a swanky thin pastel woolen, or a print done in the new bizarre coloring, the first thing to strike one about it is almost sure to be the feminine frilly white neckwear which adorns it. As to the materials for these all-important neckwear items they include most everything from tailored piques, taffettes and washable crepes to sheerest of transparent mousseilles and organdles. And there's lace! Don't forget lace, for any amount of pretty lace fixings are in promise, ranging from Irish crochet and all-over patternings to daintiest valenciennes. Possibly it is the frilly little sheer pletings which are assigned the leading role in this play of neckwear. Anyway "oodles and oodles" of wee pletings are running rlot about necklines and sleeves up, down and around front fastenings. The illustration presents a few neckwear highspots. Since these sketches speak so dramatically for themselves, instead of describing them individually we would much rather tell you about 'KERCHIEF BLOUSE By CHERIE NICHOLAS MOT. FERER PARK If you look close you will note that the waist portion of this dress extends below the belt at the front in a point—which is what is meant when we refer to the "kerchief blouse." You will see this handkerchief point theme interpreted repeatedly all through the spring and summer modes. The material for this simple and effective gown is a brown and white cravat silk. Note the very new three-quarter sleeves. The buckle is a red and white novelty. the perfectly adorable neckwear fantasies which are designed to simulate flowers. For example, a capelike lib effect is formed of a mass of long spearlike petals suggesting the chrysanthemum motif. Then there is the daisy collar which is made of long petal tabs. A cala lily theme is interpreted via a series of cornucopia rolled tabs of white pique. Tullips, orchids and roses are also copied in various white weaves. Of course mere words do not do them justice; they have to be seen to yield to their magic snell. We have not attempted to picture by word or sketch the multitudinous tailored fashions which are featured on the vast neckwear program mapped out for the coming months. Plentiful versions appear in starched and stitched linen and pique in plain and embroidered organdie and there is a big showing of printed silk neck tops. Outstanding in this class are the clever scarf and bib effects made of gay Mexican silk stripes. THE Camirror For afternoon wear there are collar and cuff sets fashioned of metal-barred and embroidered taffetas stressing bright greens and reds and other primary colors, likewise blacks and navies with gold or silver patternings, with gold on white being an outstanding favorite. Huge bows either of gay silks or fashioned of sheer white weaves are receiving lots of attention. Very elaborate lingerie bows are made of masses of little "val" edgings or work embroidered organdle and lace together. Many of the bright silk collars and bows have matching hats and even a belt and a bag of the identical silk is sometimes added. © by Western Newspaper Union. COLORS FOR SPRING COVER WIDE RANGE Talk of colors for spring includes such phrases as "bright light" colors and "dirty" pastels. In the pastel range baby pink influenced by gray or grege, and bois de rose inclining toward ashes of roses; blues in pearly tone are leading tones. In the brighter range are Chinese and geranium reds, similar respectively to manchu and sunred; a tango shade like Indian orange, and a corn yellow with less green in it than the corngold. Of basic colors, everyone agrees on another season for navy, both dark and light, and look for the big success of string color, grege and other naturals. Nipped-In Waist and Wide Shoulders Is Spring Note Nipped in at the waist and width through the shoulder still is a formula for very chic costumes that are coming from the hands of leading designers. This forerunner of the spring shouette is especially interesting, since it indicates that a fashion thought that might be regarded as "killed" in one season because of overemphasis in mass fashions may be reinterpreted for another season and through the skilful hands that deal with a trend in the restrained manner of the better designer reincarnated into a fashion for the ultra chic. It is Schiaparelli and Chanel who are responsible for this revived interest in the padded shoulder. Form-Fitted Slips Slips, which are replacing chemises in many smart women's wardrobes, are cut in form-fitting lines and fitted so smoothly that not a wrinkle can spoil the line of a frock. Point Desprit, which looks like a lace net, makes a number of models.
