HELLO, EVERYBODY! Little Dickie Dishwater, the office pest, has just composed a song for Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, the dry lawyer and political bossess who resigned to enter the aviation industry because Herbie Hoover wouldn't give her the right break. Naturally, it has a blues tune and tempo. In training I formation If he got the Big Position Now Herbie Hoover's demonstrated He ain't goin' to be related To the Drys. I think he baited ME! to up right We've got another one of them there fables to serve to you this week. We know it's good. Here it is: THE GUY WHO RAMBLED There was a hard-head by the name of Sam who was a nadmiral in a big ofay bank out in Frisco—he had charge of all the vessels. For a while, Sam worked faithfully, and got himself a big stack of dollars to play with and sit up 'nights and watch. But he wasn't satisfied. And Sam spoke thusly to himself: I ain't doin' like I want to. Look at my friend George, money flocks to him like jiggs to a free barbecue. I can do lots better somewhere else. And so Sam peeled off some green-backs from his roll of frogskins and offered them to Mr. Santa Fe for rental at so much per cushion between Frisco and Denver. When Sam first got to Denver, he found jobs as scarce as Scotchmen smoking two-bit cigars, and so he hung around the Five Points until he finally obtained a position smelling hoofs in a barber shop. Again the dollars and their little first cousins—quarters, dimes and nickels—came flocking to him. And after a while he again became dissatisfied. This ain't so forty, he said to himself one day. I believe that I can do better in K. C. than I can in this burg. THE MABEL MOAN THE MABEL MOAN I ain't appreciated I ain't appreciated I'm a whole lot under-rated A bigger job was slated For ME — MABEL But 'neath the table Was where I sat and ated After I'd talked and stated Al Smith would be implicated In giving Prohibition The Church.

You see They'll have to look has a host of out of town guests, the of the Windy City — especially if they enaux, one of the most popular of young TARD A GREAT AMERICAN DISH And he peeled off a few more notes from the Voice of America and grabbed himself an armful of train and came to K. C. His first job was with Pat and Turner with main offices along 18th street. He stayed there so long he knew just how many bricks were in each street. Then one day he got a job pearl diving in the kitchen of a swell restaurant. Once more he enticed a few spukes into his pockets and once more he wanted to leave and go to a different place. This time he picked the thriving village of Chicago as a likely town. In Chicago he slung hash for so much a week and all he could knock down. He was lucky, and eventually was promoted to the position of head hi-jacker—pardon me, I meant head waiter. He remained there a good while until he got the notion he could do better bootlegging in Philly. He journeyed to that great town and made many bones selling moonshine and William Penn cigars to the Quakers. Then a little later he made another change. It was to Leavenworth, but this time all of his expenses were paid by the government. After his vacation was over, he made more trips to such places as New York Boston, Washington, New Orleans Dallas, and eventually Atlanta. And at this town there was a young fisherwoman named Liza who used bobbed hair and rolled hose for bait. And it came to pass that she shewn her line and pulled in Sam when the tide went out. Sam floundered about and eventually took her hand in marriage. Time brings about many things and in this case it brought two great changes in the household of Sam and Liza—a boy and a girl. Now Sam's travels had not benefitted his wealth in the least. He found himself broke and wanting a job, so he changed towns again—not once but many times. A few years later Sam become ill from the shock received when it was found that he had five aces in a poker game in Seattle. While Sam was convalescing he said, I have been a rolling stone all my life, and the only moss I've gathered is that on top of my head. I ain't saved up a cent and Liza and the kids will have a hard time making it. I oughta stayed in Frisco janitoring at the bank. MORAL: If you've gotta rumble, own a private railroad or a duck farm. In the latter case it won't be so hard to keep tracks of the bills. According to the 1926 census, there were 24,351,676 families in this country. GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY STE AVE JEFFERSON The Gary American -F. M. D. Gary GARY, Says M SLIC LE Find So Says Mill Workers Hurt Own Cause SLIGHT AROUSES LEGION POST IRE Find Some Stores Give Negroes Jobs INTOLERANCE OF NEGRO WORKERS LOWERS WAGES So Says Welfare Head; He Advises Workers To Be Apprentices In Mill Blame for the average low wage scale of the mill worker is placed squarely on the shoulders of the black laborer by Frank R. Beckwith, head of the Negro welfare division of the industrial board of Indiana, who is now in Gary engaged in holding safety meetings at the local mills. He says that if the colored workers would be willing to sacrifice a dollar today for ten dollars tomorrow, they could hold much more remunerative positions as skilled laborers. "The Negro worker will not serve for a year as an apprentice in one of the trades, because he knows that as a common laborer he can make during the same period several times as much for his work. Yet after he has been on the job for several years he complains about not getting a chance along skilled mechanical lines because of his color. But he has only himself to blame. He forgets that he has thrown away his opportunity by not sacrificing present financial returns for future remuneration." Mr. Beckwith states also that many of the mills are no more averse to hiring Negro skilled laborers than they are to employing them as common workers, but they find the man of color seeking a technical job is untrained and consequently not fitted for the job. Visits Plants During his visit here, which is his second trip to Gary and the Calumet district since his department was organized on April 1, Mr. Beckwith has inspected and talked at most of the local mills. He spoke at three safety meetings held last Friday at the Inland Steel Co. plant and at a meeting of the same type held Monday noon at the American Steel foundries. Both of these places are in Indiana Harbor. The Wanner Malleable Castings Co. at Hammond, as well as several other plants, have been inspected and lectured in by Mr. Beckwith. It was after talking with officials of these mills that he learned they had no objection to hiring men of color as skilled laborers if they were trained. In these safety meetings, Mr. Beckwith advises the workers to follow the rules laid down by those in authority as an accident eliminator. He stated that the employee often doesn't see any immediate value in certain precautions, but if they are followed out it may at some time mean the saving of a life.

GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1929 Paul V. McNutt National commander of the American Legion, whose coming to Gary aroused the south side post when it was slighted by the local heads. Mr McNutt is noted for his fairness and impartiality and it is believed that the lack of recognition accorded Calumet Post No. 99 did not meet with his approval. CRIME RATE REMAINS HIGH; POLICE NAB 142 Third Of All May Arrests Are Of Negroes; No Murders Noted Arrests of darker Garyites reached a new high mark during May, with more than one-third of all jailings made being those of people of color, according to the monthly report just released by the local bureau of identification. Of a total of 410 arrests, 142 were of Aframericans and 268 were of Caucasians. April and May were similar in that there were no south side murders or homicides. Whether this indicates a growing respect for the lives of others or the failure of dangerous weapons to be near angry black folk is not definitely known. Naturally, the highest arrest rate was on the suspect list. Forty were arrested out of a total of 85, which included 11 whites. The next largest number of arrests were for drunkenness, with 20 people of color sobering up in the city jail. A like number of American whites were also lodged there out of a total of 84 for all races. Police nabbed one prostitute and one insane person out of a total of two and three respectively. The only gamblers arrested in May were nine of dark complexion. Arrests on some of the other charges, and the totals on each, are as follows: SLIGHTED WHEN NATIONAL HEAD COMES TO GARY Calumet Post Committee Writes Hot Letter To Pat Maloney Here Failure of the local white committee of the American Legion to recognize Calumet Post No. 99 and include a representative from it at the meetings and banquet held when Paul V. McNutt, national commander, visited Gary a few weeks ago has caused a storm of protest to go up from the south side post. It culminated this week in a letter sent to Pat Maloney, commander of the Memorial Post of the American Legion located at 6th and Massachusetts. Members of the south side post claim that this is the first time a lack of recognition has been accorded them. Commander Louis Wallace has attended Legion meetings in all parts of the (Continued on Page 3) 13 GET DEGREES FROM 1ST STATE UNIVERSITY Only College In South To Be State-Aided; President Plans Improvements Durham, N. C.—(By Lewis K. McMillan for The Associated Negro Press) —A serious bit of history was made in Durham on June 6.

Ten students received the bachelor of arts degree and three the bachelor of science degree. One other will receive the bachelor c. J. E. SHEPHARD graduated from a liberal arts college, supported by a state, purely for Negroes. Ten students received the bachelor of arts degree and three the bachelor of science degree. One other will receive the bachelor of arts degree and two the bachelor of science degree at the close of summer school. In presenting the degrees to the graduating class, President James E. Shepard said, "One of the perils of education is to be a snob, putting yourselves above your fellows . . . education includes the unfolding of the mind and the cultivating of personality." Some strenuous and shrewd maneuvering was required to save this sole state supported liberal arts college for Negroes only a few months ago. The little general industrial school over at Greensboro, a purely Negro school, almost swallowed it up. Shepard won out in the fight with Bluford. Already an administration building costing $150,000 is nearing completion; contract for a girls' dormitory has been let and work will begin on it by July 1st. Plans for a new dining room are being drawn now. Several teachers are off for graduate degrees and a few masters and a doctor of philosophy will be added to the faculty next year. North Carolina, affording the best university for whites in the South, is quite the logical state to begin state-supported liberal arts work for Negroes. And it is a privilege for Negroes that a man who is in earnest and who has resourceful contacts north and south is heading up this new equipment.

M.; Zimmerman To Be In Charge Weekly broadcasts of south side talent over radio station WJKS, located here, will be held every Wednesday night at 7 o'clock beginning with next Wednesday, according to an announcement made today by Hermas Zimmerman, who has charge of the colored artists and who has himself been singing on the air each Friday evening at 10:30. The first program will be composed of musical selections rendered by the A. B. L. glee club of 12 girls under the direction of Miss Bohling Lee of Froebel high school. Nelson Bryant, East Pulaski teacher; Ariel M. Loveace and Mrs. Lottie Roberts will also appear on this initial program. According to Mr. Zimmerman, who is a music instructor as well as singer and composer, south side musicians have been appearing for tryouts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays since March but no publicity has been given the newer artists nor the fact that these broadcasts would soon begin.

Bennett, Williams, Hueston and Lacey; Miss Fredonia Gates, Miss Geneva Davis, Dr. Elizabeth Kelly-Green, Miss Mamie Davenport, the Hammond Glee club, and others.

But, as the TAKE FIGHT TO CHURCHES TAKE FIGHT TO CHURCHES Beginning next week, Chauncey Townsend, executive editor of THE GARY AMERICAN, will take the fight against parasitic Gary merchants directly to the people themselves. He will address the members of each south side church, giving them the facts and the details in the case, and let them see for themselves just what our race receives when we patronize a store in large numbers. few honest and fair-minded merchants who believe that they can both entrench themselves more firmly as business men by employing our boys and girls in their stores and get more of our trade. Such stores as those of the latter type should be patronized by us. We should see to it that we trade, wherever possible, only in those stores that employ workers of our race. We should show that we are aware of the insult of the other merchants who seek to give nothing by staying away from their places of business. Some Fair Stores Listed Proving that they appreciate the patronage of our race, three drug stores on the south side have employed people of color, some in highly responsible positions. They are: The Apollo Drug store, 16th and Broadway, managed by Harry Hanley.

And it's most of the life travels of S. I. Prince, well known shoe repair man with his shop located at 23 West 22nd avenue. Mr. Prince is only 36 years old. He has lived in Gary seven of those years, is married, and has run his place of business at the same address for five years. He started out to make a success and has succeeded. He employs two workers other than himself and is owner of $3,000 worth of the latest and most up-to-date shoe repair equipment. He was 19 years old when he left his Carolina birthplace. The next four years were spent in government service in the Philippines, a country Mr. Prince thoroughly enjoyed. After spending six or seven months in California, he tried Wyoming for a month before going to Mexico. Mr. Prince invested in Gary land before coming here. He is not at all displeased with the Indiana city he chooses to call his home. After working in the steel mills here two years, he decided to go into business for himself. An opportunity came to purchase the shop where he is now located. He bought it and has made a success of it as his present volume of business and hundreds of satisfied customers will show.

Gordon is named among those athletes who, Big Ten officials claim, are having part of their expenses paid from a "slush fund" subscribed to by alumni.

This came in a month when deaths all over the city reached a height of 100 and births were only 180. Weather changes are said by city health officials to account for the high death rate.

More people met death through auto accidents during May than ever before during the history of Gary. There were 11 fatalities from autos alone. Twelve persons died from tuberculosis, 10 from pneumonia, eight from heart trouble two from homicides, one each from suicide and whooping cough, three from influenza, and six from cancer.

Roosevelt Annex chorus, trained by Mr. Potter, rendered three selections of spirituals; young Master Douglass of Roosevelt Annex played two numbers on the violin which gave promise of development. Humorous readings from Dunbar and Riley by Mrs. Oneita O'Crey were highly entertaining; Hermes Zinnmerman's vocal number sung in Italian and a number of his own composition were appreciated; Mr. McClenny of McClenny's Music School, gave two violin selections which were ably rendered and strongly enced; solos by Dr. Elizabeth Greene and Miss Fredonia Gates were well received as was the sacred duet by two young ladies known as "Teddy and Betty" in Mr. Zinnmerman's aggregation of radio talent, and who sing very sweetly. Accompanists were Mrs. Semmes Mrs. McDoughal, and Miss McClenny Sponsors of the program were Mrs Whitlock, Mrs, McDoughal and Dr Marshall. Social Art Club The Social Art club met Thursday week at the home of Mrs. C. L. Allen. 2489 Adams street, with Mrs. C. L. Brooks as hostess.

For a large number, the Weekly Nickel Pass will mean a substantial reduction in riding costs. 75% of our present riders now pay an 8 cent fare. If the pass is used only twice a day—14 times a week—the average fare paid, including the original cost of the pass, will be less than 8 cents. For more frequent riders, rates will be even lower. The following table shows how the average cost of riding will decrease the more the Weekly Nickel Pass is used: GARY RAILWAYS Davis, 2477 Connecticut street. Clara Pitts, pres.; L. J. Ross, sec'y.

They report a very entertaining and delightful visit. Visits Relatives Here L. D. Lamb, formerly of Seattle Wash., is visiting his cousins, Mrs. Yolande Smiley and the Rev. S. E.

The letter, dated June 10, and signed by Dr. Frank S. Rudolph, Edward M.

McNutt, our National Commander, to come to Gary in the interest of Post activities and deliberately fail or refuse to recognize other American Legion Posts among which was ours. "We have boasted of a first class Post and we have always enjoyed the confidence and respect of both State and National Departments of the Legion. It was indeed a very great surprise to us not to have had our Post Commander or Adjutant representing our Post.

Beckwith, head of the Negro Welfare division of the state industrial board, said that the mill worker's intolerance and desire to make a few pennies today rather than wait until tomorrow when the dollars would flow in caused him to have little, if any, employment as skilled mechanics, he voiced a condition that is true in practically all lines. This is the time when students graduate from high school. The next step should be college. Yet most of the colored graduates will look around this summer and if they get good jobs will hold to them next fall rather than quit and further their education. They, too, fail to see future possibilities because the dollars they get today are in their eyes. A few years from now, some of them will be claiming they never had a chance. The young lawyer or dentist who graduates from college and goes into civil service work often remains there. A steady salary coming into him from the government provides a regular livelihood and is to be compared in no way with the uncertainties of individual practice. He doesn't realize until too late that he has thrown away dollars for nickels. It would be easy to compile a lengthy list of those persons other than mill workers who are intolerant. It seems as if intolerance is a disease of which only a very few Aframericans are ever healed. This desire to think only of today and to let the future go hang is unsafe economically and has imbedded in it a touch of slave psychology when the black man need not worry about the morrow as his master would see that he was provided for. It is devoutly to be hoped that the Negro of the future can see farther than his nose's end. But if he, too, is afflicted with myopia, may he not complain in after life: "I could do the same job as good as any white man if I had the chance." Let him learn that the Caucasian's success is built upon patient self-sacrifice before the realization of a dream. It takes a constant fighter to win.

Most lawyers, doctors and dentists throw up their hands in old-maidish horror when asked to advertise publicly, but are not averse to handing out business cards to new acquaintances, or to making themselves active in church work in order to get the attention of the honest and unsuspecting brother and sister, or to asking their friends to send business in to them. Especially antagonistic to newspaper advertising is the professional man. Legal and medical societies quickly expel from membership those members who dare to let the world know about themselves through the columns of journals. Yet it would pay in more ways than one for the lawyer or doctor to run periodical ads A few capable professional men have had the common sense to break away from such foolish rules. They realize doctoring is a business and should be conducted along business lines. A large number of quack physicians, more than any other professional type advertise and those people who depend upon newspapers for information on where to go in case of death, sickness, or a sale, flock to them rather than to an unknown but reputable doctor. Naturally, the few level-headed and efficient physicians who advertise get some of these clients and will probably go to a doctor's heaven with records just as clean as those who prattle of ethics. We would not have a word to say if the professional man who cries "It's unethical" when approached on the subject of newspaper advertising would remember that ethics is not limited purely to publication advertising. There are lawyers and doctors here in Gary in good standing whose code of ethics on other lines would shame even a hardened criminal. There are barristers here who, knowing the law's peculiarities, stoop to what is in reality thievery although they manage to keep just within the law. There are physicians here who peddle whiskey and narcotics in violation of the Constitution. Yet newspaper advertising to these folks is so repugnant that they feel insulted when an approach is made. But, as other specialized groups have done, the professional people will eventually wake up to the fact that newspaper advertising has far more benefits than ill effects. But until that happens, we would appreciate an explanation of this peculiar code of ethics which permits a lawyer, doctor or dentist to pass out his business cards promiscuously, to ask his friends or clients to mention him to others, or to get himself before the public through church work or free clinics purely to eventually promote his own practice.

Its owners have filled their pocketbooks from the gold we spent with them, and yet we have received nothing in return. While some members of the race have practically starved for want of a job, Gollin's waxes fat—and employs more white help. Not even a job as janitor has been given to one of our race. **American State Another** Equally as ungrateful is the **American State bank**, located at 1710 Broadway. Located in the heart of the south side, it is but natural for the institution to do most of its business with people of color. Should they suddenly withdraw all of their deposits, the bank would be ruined over night. Yet it does not employ even as junior a member of the race on which it depends. ADWAY THEATER...

There is not a clerk of our race among the whole sales force. Equally as blatantly offensive in this way is the Fele Packing Co., 163I Broadway, which gets probably 85 per cent of its income from our race. Yet it, too, refuses to hire a clerk. All Should Hire All of the places mentioned could hire boys and girls from our race both as janitors, clerks, and in positions of even greater responsibility. Gollin's should have at least one clerk; it would be advantageous and fair for the American State bank to have a teller and janitor recruited from within our racial ranks; both the Mid-West and Fele's could profitably and consciously hire two of our girls each as clerks. Since the appearance of the first article of this series in our columns last week, many have complimented THE AMERICAN on its stand for justice and fair play. Some have volunteered to investigate and report truthfully the names of those places that snatch black gold and refuse to give work when work is sorely needed. Exposure To Continue An exposure of these unjust conditions will continue until the racial conscience will be so aroused that we will boycott the business places, or else their managers will hire colored help rather than face failure. It is only by sticking together and demanding our rights that we will rid ourselves of the merchant who takes all from us and gives nothing in return. (Next week THE GARY AMERICAN will continue its fight for the right by giving more names of the stores that hire Negro help as well as those that do not). DE LUXE CLUB ELECTS TWO Two new members were elected to the De Luxe club, local band of young men, at its meeting Wednesday night. They are Tom Martin of the States hotel and James Bryant of 2240 Madison street. Officers of the club are: Nelson Woodley, president; Rubin Minor, vice president; Joseph D. Stubbs, secretary Olin Young, recording secretary; Nelson Lee, business manager; Jimmy McNuse, treasurer, and Edward D Shaw, reporter. Wilbur J. Hardeway is honorary member of the club. GAS Depths of tragedy are sounded by Al Jolson in "The Singing Fool," the special production in which he is presented by Warner Bros. next Wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Roosevelt theater. In it he is revealed as one of the most powerful emotional actors on the screen. His creation is in decided contrast to his work as a comedian, although his former work has partially demonstrated the fervor of which he is capable. In "The Singing Fool" he is first seen as a carefree, wise-cracking entertainer—a singing waiter in a New York cabaret—but eventually there comes to him a weight of sorrow and mental stress that entirely changes the course of his life. Everything which he has attained through years of striving is suddenly stripped from him, and the way he meets and copes with his misfortunes makes a story of absorbing heart interest. Married to a revue star who falls in love with another man, the singing waiter suffers torments, which include the death of the child to whom he is passionately devoted. "The Singing Fool" runs the whole scale of human emotions. Broadway is to open soon with Vitaphone and Movietone. Engineers are now busy installing the very latest sound equipment built by Western Electric. I tis only a matter of a few days until its screen comes to life. You will hear, as well as see, the stars of the film world. Your favorite stars talk and sing as though they themselves were here upon the stage. At the Broadway you will be able to Ford J. B.

DISPLAY GORDON'S MEDALS Iowa Star Home; Expects To Compete At Denver Edward Gordon, Jr., star Iowa university athlete and member of last year's Olympic team, is home with his father, the Y. M. C. A. secretary, and has on display at the People's Hardware store, 608 Broadway, medals won in track and field competition. Young Gordon was this year's high point man at Iowa. He has been undefeated this season in the broad jump and has generally won first place in the high jump, in spite of a not wholly well tendon injured last February. He won the national championship in the broad jump at Chicago last week with a leap of 24 feet, 8½ inches. He fouled at 25 feet, 2 inches. He is planning to enter the National A. A. U. meet at Denver on July 3, 4 and 5, and is confident that he will win first honors in his events. Ellen Marshall, 32, 1409 Adams street, was arrested Monday evening and charged with liquor law violation when a squad of police raided her home and found a pint of moonshine whiskey.
