GET CASH; REFUSE JOBS THIRTY CA e On I TO VOLUME II. NUMBER THIRTY Agree On Insurance Merger NEW INSURANCE COMPANY UNDER HARRY H. PACE TO FIRE COPS Liberty Life Stockholders Pledging himself to lower the city's tax rate and to bend his efforts to develop a "clean, moral condition" throughout the city, Mr. White seeth his platform as a candidate for mayor on the Democratic ticket in an interview yesterday. Reviewing the history of the part colored people have played in municipal affairs of the city, he made a seathing indictment of Republican tactics and expressed the hope that the time will soon come when the colored people of Gary will show their independence. "The thought I have in mind more than anything else." Mr. White said "is that there shall be no further increase in taxes in Gary! "Gary, with its gigantic industrial plants and powerful taxable value ought to have the lowest taxation of any industrial city in the country. An assurance of no further tax increase is calculated to bring in investments from the outside world and provide business in this city. The next thing I have uppermost in mind is a clean, moral condition, and that the lawless element, the vicious element from the city of Chicago, be driven out and run out of our city. "We have had 16 years of absolute political control in the city of Gary by one political party and during this time I have made a fight with the minority party to give Gary a two-party form of government. 3 CENTS PER COPY LATEST NEWS NEW INSURANCE COMPANY UNDER HARRY H. PACE Liberty Life Stockholders Last To Affirm Merger, Do So Unanimously CHICAGO.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Without a dissenting vote, stockholders of Liberty Life Insurance company of Chicago, representing nearly fourteen thousand shares of stock out of twenty thousand shares outstanding, met at the Home Office of the company on Tuesday morning and approved the terms of the merger of Liberty Life with the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Ohio and the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J. Stockholders of the Northeastern had previously approved the merger at the meeting held by them on April 20, and Supreme Life stockholders had voted upon and approved the merger at a meeting held on May 10 c. M. O. BOUSFIELD the Northeastern ern had previously approved the merger at the meeting held by them on April 20, and Supreme Life stockholders had voted upon and approved the merger at a meeting held on May 10 The ratification by Liberty stockholders here this week completes the merger except for the final details of approval by the three insurance departments primarily involved, and these details are being rushed to a final approval. Tentative approval has already been given to the merger by those insurance departments who have advised with officers of the companies at every stage of the negotiations. Date Is June 17 The actual physical merger of the three companies will take place on Monday, June 17, at which time it is expected that the records of the companies will be combined and the new officers will assume their duties. The bringing together of the companies into one company, to be hereafter known as the Supreme Liberty Life Inr insurance Company, will result in the largest capitalized financial organization of the race. The paid in capital will be $400,000 with the com- c. HARRY PACE gather of the companies into one company, to be hereafter known as the Supreme Liberty Life Inr insurance Company, will result in the largest capitalized financial organization of the race. The paid in capital will be $400,000, with the combined assets of over $1,500,000 and insurance in force of nearly $27,000,000, and a total income running to around $1,000,000 per year. The capital is shortly to be increased to $500,000 thereby further strengthening the institution and to permit of practically national operation of the company, and the extension of its work into a number of additional states. At the present time the three companies are operating in twelve states all of which territory will be continued and expanded. Name Officers Officers and directors of the new company were elected Tuesday in the Liberty Life Insurance company's offices by the stockholders. Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, was elected president of the new company. Dr. M. O. Bousfield, president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, was elected vice president and medical director; T. K. Gibson, president of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, will be chairman of the board of directors; vice presidents are Rev. R. L. Bradby, W. H. Worthham, Dr. R. L. Jones, David Manson, Louis C. Bulloch, and L. H. Foster. The combination brings together a group of executives who have been trained in both insurance and finance and it is predicted that the company will rapidly take its place in the forefront of financial institutions among our group. It will rank third in size among the companies of our group in point of insurance in force. The Gary American GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY STK AVE JEFFERSON EMMET N. WHITE GIVES PLATFORM FOR MAYOR RACE Democratic Nominee Says Republicans Hold Negro Back In Gary By CONSTANCE WARD Negroes in Gary are entitled to a voice and full representation in the governmental affairs of the city, but they will never attain these so long as the town is controlled by Republican party officials, in the opinion of Emmett N. White, prominent Gary attorney, and Democratic nominee for mayor. "I believe that it is for the best interests of the city that the outside world be advised at this time that Gary can have a two-party form of governmental administration and that the change from the Republican party at the present time to the Democratic party will bring about great good to the city." In the matter of the enforcement of the law, Mr. White believes it is absolutely necessary to enforce the law with justice to all classes. He believes the colored people of Gary are entitled to a voice and full representation in governmental affairs of the city, but that they will not get this voice and this representation from any one political party. "It will be necessary," he explained, "for the colored voters of the city to divide their political allegiance in order to gain their proper place in the community. "The Republican party in Gary and Lake county," he said, "has received powerful support from the colored voters and has practically given them nothing in return." Picturing the further needs of Gary colored citizens, Mr. White believes that in the matter of education, protection of health and morals of the community, the colored people of Gary have a vital interest at stake and they should have a voice in the administration of these matters, and that a high school should be built at as early a date as possible in that part of the city where high school facilities are now denied so large a group of Gary citizens.

CROOKED POLICE TO BE GIVEN AX BY COUNCILMEN Probe Begins Tonight At Special Meet—Council Bars Reporters Power to discharge any police officer on whom anything damaging is obtained, other than in a political way, has been vested in the city council which is beginning an investigation of an alleged alliance of crime and police on the south side. The first important step in this investigation is a meeting scheduled to be held tonight at Mayer Floyd William's office in the city hall at which time the investigating committee, composed of Aldermen A. B. Whitlock, Albert Brown and Floyd Stickney, will get to work in earnest. It was at the regular bi-monthly meeting Monday night of the city council that that organization voted to support the committee which they had appointed at their previous meeting Demands Support "As we are the ones who will do the actual investigation," Whitlock stated to the assemblage, "we want to know if we will have the power and protection we should, and if the whole group is back of us." Put to a vote, the councilmen decided unanimously to back the committee in its probe. All three of the councilmen said they wanted it understood that they had no enemies to punish and would proceed along impartial lines. Whitlock and Stickney lost in the recent primary elections. Newspapermen Barred A privilege enjoyed by a Post-Tribune reporter of being present at committee meetings in the committee chambers was revoked by the council when a Glen Park Newsmonger claimed that he was due to have the same consideration. Although the daily paper's writer had not violated any of the confidencees he was a party to in the secret sessions, it was considered in advisable to trust another reporter Rather than refuse the Newsman's request—which would have been unfair—they placed a ban on all journalists. The police investigation is the result of sentiment created by Bill Burrus, J. W. Hallas and A. B. Whitlock at a previous meeting when police were said to be "either afraid of or in cahoot with central district criminals" and carnivals were classed as "breeding places of vice." GET LINCOLN MEMORIAL SITE 30 Acres Given for Memorial To Great Emancipator Indianapolis — (Special) — Indiana's Lincoln Memorial project advanced materially further toward realization today upon receipt of approximately thirty acres in the town of Lincoln City a gift from Frank C. Ball, noted Muncie manufacturer and philanthropist. In the Governor's office in the presence of the executive committee of the Indiana Lincoln union and group of the state's leading citizens, Mr. Ball tendered Governor Harry G. Leslie a deed for the 30-acre tract which increases the state's land area for the Lincoln Memorial to 100 acres. The Ball gift has an approximate value of $32,000 and it surrounds and includes the site of the cabin where Lincoln lived sixteen boyhood years. Here the great martyrred President spent his formative period, and on this soil, many claim was developed character and lovable personality which made the pioneer PRICE THREE CENTS IN GARY AND SUBURBS ELSEWHERE, FIVE CENTS Many Refuse To Advertise Their Wares In Negro Papers Although Selling Largely To People Of Color; Expose Begins BY RAYMOND HARPER The workers of Gary's 20,000 residents—almost one-fifth of the city's total population—are employed almost exclusively in the steel mills, in spite of the fact that they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually with local merchants. The doors of most Gary firms that derive a huge percentage or even most of their income from the south side purchaser remain closed to him when he goes there seeking for a job. In addition to this failure to hire colored employees and thus pour back into the coffers of the race some of the gold taken from them, many refuse absolutely to listen to the pleas of the newspapers to show some gratitude for this trade by running advertising in their columns.

Some business houses have gone so far as to say that they could take the Negro's money, not give a thing in re- turn, and he would continue to trade here as "he hasn't got sense enough to know when he is being mistreated." Three well known banks—two down- town and one on the south side—that have large numbers of depositors from our race, refuse to hire people of color even for janitor service. Regarding his colored depositors, one bank official says: "We don't particularly care for the Negro trade but when they come in we don't turn them down. They generally keep small bank balances and cause us more trouble than anybody else." Will Furnish Names You see what this banker thinks of you and your trade. The name of his bank, as well as any other business institution notoriously ungrateful to our race for our trade, will be sent to the readers of this paper on request. Shoestring merchants come out on the south side, bring their families, and start little businesses in which the whole family assist. They sell cheap goods to the neighboring residents, members of our race—pocket their earnings, and move to a part of the city in which we are prohibited from living. They take all and leave nothing but shoddy and inferior gods. Chain stores start up next door to our homes, get our trade, and refuse to hire even one Negro clerk. Downtown stores want Negro dollars but no Negro workers. We buy everything from hairpins to automobiles. We purchase practically all of these goods from white merchants. When 20,000 of our race in a municipality of 110,000 buy some of everything sold, we are unquestionably due to get returns on this huge yearly expenditure by having our boys and girls in business houses as employees. Shall we sit idly by and prove that we don't know when we are being mistreated, or shall we demand our rights? (The next article in this series will appear in these columns next week.) Preparations for the annual banquet of the Gary Noonday Business club are being made since Wednesday at the regular bi-monthly meeting held at the Stewart house when a committee for that purpose was appointed.

Two Supreme Court Decisions Two acts effecting the Negro were performed by the United States Supreme court this week. By far the mist important was the one legalizing restrictions on realty sales to people of color. Consent to such action was given automatically when the nation’s highest tribunal refused even to interfere with the rulings of the lower court which were to the effect that stich restrictions were entirely legal. ‘This automatically means that white residents of a community can legally keep people of color from purchasing property in their section. as unconstitutional as it may seem. Henry Cornish bought a home in a white neighborhood, but when he moved in his Cau- casian neighbors brought suit to enforce a covenant in the deed of previous owners, which stipulated that the property should never be sold to Negroes under penalty of payment of $2,000, ‘The other case was the sale of a house to Edgar T. Newton in a white com- munity, protested by the neighbors on the ground that the deed by Which the selling white owners of the property purchased the real estate contained a clause prohibiting its sale to Negroes. These were the cases the people of color lost But there is no use in hurling epithets at the Supreme court or at the Caucasians. We have ourselves to blame for a large part of the objections made to our purchasing homes in white communi- ties. The race has a habit of destroying and not building up. Few Aframerican families will keep the homes they were in when pur- chased or rented from whites. Papers litter the front yard, the grass goes uncut, and a five-year old Ford sits crippled in the rear. ‘The truth is that the average black family will not give a home nearly the care that the average native-born white family will give to the same abode. Is it any wonder, then, that many otherwise fair-minded Caucasians refuse to live by us when our lack of pride causes their own property to depreciate in value through being in a run-down neighborhood? The other case before the Supreme court and in which that august body rendered a decision favorable to the Negroes was the shrine case. White shriners in Texas had objected to the activities of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, A decision in the lower court was given against the Negro organization prohibiting the further use of the order's name and insignia. The Supreme court reversed it. It is a trifle ironic when one observes that the case vitally ef- fecting the race went against it and the one of comparatively triv- BN tin ekaHce SeAR WON, DALY OPENS LAW OFFICES Well Known Garyite Re- sumes His Law Practice J.

Installation of vitaphone and movie- tone equipment at the Roosevelt was completed a few days ago, and the management of the theatre announces that in the future talking pictures will he shown almost daily. “We plan to bring to the people of the south side the highest entertain- ment in the way of talking pictures,” declared Manager Nick Bikos, owner ‘of the Roosevelt “We have spared no expense in in- stalling sound equipment in our thea- tre in order to give our patrons the very latest. in moving picture enjoy- ment, and although the cost of show- ing ‘talkies’ will be greater, we do not contemplate raising our admission prices. “We wish to thank all our old pat- rons for their attendance and support We will try to give them such pro- grams as will merit their continued con fidence,” he declared. | The next talking picture to be shown at the Roosevelt will he “Four Sons.” ‘It will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.
