Open Their Model Grocery Store Is Thronged With Customers and Right-Secers Who Pledge Support African Union Celebrates "Ladies Day" In Africa The barbarous lynching of J. H. Wilkins, Negro Pullman porter, at Locust Grove, Ga., is a continuation of the lynch law policy of the capitalist class in terrorizing Negro and white workers in order to attempt to prevent them from organizing and uniting to fight against the miserable conditions under which they live. Just a Yew weeks ago, we witnessed the brutal lynching of Jimmie Levine and Laura Wood, two Negro workers of Occilia, Ga., and Barbara Junction, N. C., while a few months back, the Southern textile barons lynched Ella May, white woman worker of Castonia, N. C. Lynch law is the most vicious weapon used by the bosses against the working class. While used predominantly in the past against Negro workers, today it is increasingly used against white workers. Lynch law is part Race Physician White Section White Plains Police, Guar Determined White Plains police last week were guarding the homes of two Negro physicians, who recently moved into a white residential section, following reports that their white neighbors had banded into a protective association to drive them out. The physicians are Dr. Erroid D. Collymore of No. 481 South Lexington Avenue, and Dr. A. M. Williams, at No. 32 De Kalb Avenue, just around the corner. They are friends and both moved into their new homes, which they purchased out. Colored Merchants Open Their Store is Thronged With O. Who. Piedd The first model grocery store in the United States planned by "The Progressive Grocer" for Negroes was suspiciously opened Saturday, April 5, in the northwestern corner of Seventh avenue and 144th street. The occasion was historic for the local branch of the Colored Mercantile Association, organized last fall by Arthur L. Kolsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League. Housewives, of the community showed their marked interest in the opening by visiting the store in large numbers. Throughout the day it was crowded with customers and steht- African Union "Ladies D By SAMUEL E.

The meeting was chairmaned by Mrs. Lella Waters, widow of the late Bishop Waters of the A. M. E. Church. The object of this meeting was to commemorate the memory of the late Madame Sharperson Young Proposed Resolution in March 6th Fight Demand the liberation of Fistan Miner, Amtas, Raymond and Lester, the delegation of the New York March 6 unemployed demonstration, and hundreds of others!

The lynching by the capitalist class of J. H. Wilkins is not an isolated incident but is part of the whole series of attacks and persecution by American capitalism upon the working class. In Atlanta, Ga., Joe Carr and H. M. Powers, organizers of the Communist Party and Young Communist League, have been indicted and face electrocution for organizing Negro and white workers on the same basis of equality into the Trade Union Unity League. In Charlotte, N.

The reply of the employers' govern- ment to these great protections of labor, to the tremendous demand for "WORK OR FULL WAGES?" was the widespread street of the march of fighters for the Jobless in all aspects of the country. Race Must Shoulder Its Responsibility; Must Cooperate to Build a Strong, Sure Economic Foundation; Must Rally to the Call of the U. N. I. A. (August 1929); Must Carve Our Own Economic Salvation Let Every Negro Do His Part in Helping to Put the Great Program Over—Build a Strong Financial Power—Secure Economic Independence "Let Us Cooperate!" — "Let Us Unite!" For Racial Uplift — Says Pres. Gen. FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, GREETING: Several years ago, during the latter part of the war period, and immediately following, I preached in the United States of America the doctrine of preparedness for the Negro Race throughout the World — preparedness to the point of laying plans whereby the race might be able to economically save itself after the contending nations in the war had returned to the state of international normalcy. I pointed out that the then Negro was due to the then inflated creations of the war, and that such creations would continue for a time after the war, but as soon as the contending Powers had out-grown the terrible war scare a reaction would occur that would affect the Negro more than anyone else. I pointed out a state of reaction in unemployment wherever the Negro lived. Condition of Unemployment The report has been steadily coming in that the condition of unemployment and suffering is appalling among our people. Unfortunately only a few heeded the warning, I gave, and so, we find ourselves in a terrible state politically, industrially, economically and Second Warning I am now sounding a second warning. Although our condition is somewhat alarming at the present time, and we are financially embarrassed, we have enough resources at our command to retrieve ourselves. The Negroes of the United States of America, of South and Central America, and the West Indies in particular can, by immediate action, solve themselves if they follow the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Last Convention Our last Convention brought out a program for economic readjustment, which if executed will indemn our salvation. We have been appraising to Negroes everywhere to support this program; to give it financial assistance so that we may be able to lay the foundation. If this warning is not heeded, ten years hence will tell a terrible tale of the Negroes down-grade towards gradual extermination from the body pellet and economic. They will criticize and oppose the program of the United Nations in its prowvement Association, but the price must realize that we cannot live on criticisms. We must shoulder our responsibility, we must organize ourselves, we must cooperate to finance our big Industrial fund—econoplanc schemes—a source from which all people gather money and wealth, to be able to stabilize themselves in going forward to erase of prosperity. The Negroes of the United States of America, South and Central America and the West Indies, must rally now more than ever to support the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The International Fund of Six Hundred Million Dollars we are raising should be subscribed in ten years and contributed to by every Negro in the world, because it is only by such substantial capitalization can we undertake the big program for our economic well-being. There is no Negro in the world who cannot contribute something to the Fund in ten years. There are some of us, by our portions, who can contribute ten thousand dollars in ten years, and some can contribute five thousand dollars, three thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, one thousand dollars, five hundred dollars, three hundred dollars, two hundred dollars, one hundred dollars, in ten years. If everyone of us, according to our means, contribute to this Fund in ten years the Race will be instantly capable to take care of itself, from an Industrial and General Economic point of view. It is this kind of cooperation that made the Jews the financial power they see in the world today, and it is this that will make the Negroes an independent entity acting the whole mass of the worldly Negro who whom to contribute to this Fund should communicate with the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, of Negro Road, Negro North, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, United States. Copyright Riley Willow give in his or her name and address and the amount pledged towards this great International Fund. Let Us Cooperate Let us cooperate, let us unite, let us put over this big program is the wish of your humble servant. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be.

Sunday Night, April 13th, 1930:— Despite threatening weather conditions, quite a number of members and friends gathered in the spacious Excelsior Liberty Hall, situated at 687 Lenox Avenue (northwest corner Lenox Avgnue and 144th street) tonight to take part in the mass meeting, held under the auspices of the Excelsior Division. No. 114, U. N. I. A. (August, 1929) of the World. The meeting was opened at 8:45 p. m., with the processional march, in which the officers and the U. A. Legions took part, while the friends in the audience stood at attention. The processional over, the president Rev. R. T.

M. E. Chur 3 Missions In S Rev. Dr. Porter Praise Negroes everywhere are dropping the old Dogmas for the New Theology. The T.M.E. Church teachings seem to inspire members of the race to become constructive thinkers and decisive actors. Never in the history of churchdom has a colored church been given such appreciative consideration. Even people who do not believe in churches are advancing new, forward to keep on fighting for the race's religious freedom. Rev. Thomas P. Bryan, Pastor of St. George's T.I.M.E. Church, of Santo Domingo, and Superintendent of the T.I.M.E. Churches in the Dominican Republic has achieved within six months what seems to be the work of a superman. And, if his $80,000 fund campaign for the building of an industrial center with its T.I.M.E. Church Cathedral, is successful, it would mean not a success for the T.I.M.E., but, the race as a whole. Among those who are assisting Rev. Bryan, at Baricha, are Bro. Gordon, on the North end of the island, Br. Price, Rev. F. Martin, on the East end and Bro. A. Martinez at Santo Domingo. There are still many challenges that the superintendent of the the audience joined in the singing of the hymn, "God of the Right." The president, who occupied the chair for the occasion, made a short and stirring opening address, appealing to the heart sand minds of those present, to sense the needs of the hour, and measure up to the demands that are being made upon the race at the present time, so that we can help in the building of a great and lasting monument to the courage, the manhood, the foresight, and the sagacity of the Negro. A selection by the band under Prof. James Salitus, followed, and was greatly appreciated by the audience. The lady president, Mrs. Annie Cooper, was the first speaker of the evening. She made a very spirited appeal to those present, to rally to the call of the U. N. I.

Bryan's Work Freedom of thought, religiously speaking, is not desired only for the race's betterment at present but for the future as well, if its existence is to remain a fact. Members of the race cannot afford much longer to worship God only in the churches of other races; therefore, the aims and objects of the T.I.M.E. Church are not only appropriate, but timely. As Rev. Poster has well said, "The goal is right ahead; the vision is clear, and with the will to dare and the desire to serve his race, "God shall not suffer him to have worked in vain."

We meet meeting began with the single Garvey, who was known to take, "followed by our processional hymn, 'Mine On Internal Light.'" Members of Begg Division No. 454 set sad at this writing, over the loss of a hero of the U. N. I. A. and Begg Division, in the person of Mrs. Jenni- a Gooch, who departed this life on the 26th day of February, 1930. Mrs. Gooch was one who loved her face, and did all she could of the Begg Division, and the U. N. I. A. She was a real spoke in the wheel.

Sunday, December 8th will be remembered by the officers and members of the Boston Conley Chapter. No. 1000A, as it marks the dedication of our new Liberty Hall. The evening was delightfully spent, and the meeting was called to order by Chaplain Peck at 5:30 p.m. by the singing of the processional hymn, "Shine On Eternal Light," followed by prayer. The evening lesson was read from 1st King 8th Chap. and was expounded in a masterly form, which made a great impression on the audience. At this juncture the meeting was turned over to the first vice president, Mr. J. Gilepie, who acted as chairman for the evening. The program will follow: An anthem by the chair, "Prepare Ye the Way," reading from "The Negro World" by our guest, H. D. Peck, solo by Mr. J. Pommilh, secretary of trustees; from the Philosophy of Matteo Garvey by Mr. E. L. Lewis; address by champion James, who topic in his topic, "Why Not B. a Garveyite." We were enlisted by a song from Mrs. Erroos, and an address by our ex- president, Mr. R. Lewis. We also enjoy an anthem by the choir entitled "Sweet Subbath Day," address by Mr. J. Patterson, assistant secretary, preceded an organ solo by Mr. S. Cadliono" who also presided at the organ for the eventing; address by Mr. W. Fallon, who tried to impress on his hearers the good of his song; by lady president; song by H. P. O'Peck, Minton to the Vatican, "Garvey," followed by the installation of the general secretary, in the person of Mr. Hulbert Campbell. Our enjoyable meeting was brought to its close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and prayer.

A. G. Ellenburg conducted the devotional exercises. The opening address was made by the third vice-president Lieutenant Parks. The front page message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was read by little Miss Marie Harrison, who can read his message wonderfully for her age. The audience then stood and sang "God Bless Our President." The index, quartet of the division rendered another of their soul stirring numbers. The president, the Hon. S. V. Robertson, who is now recuperating from a recent case of high blood pressure, delivered an oration that was full of harvayism. During his recent illness it seems that he did something more than follow his doctor's rule. He also followed Mr. Garvey's rule of thinking broadly on the subject of a free and reelected Africa.

"Editor Rhodes For Fair Play". MEMBERS of the U. N. I. A., followers of Marcus Garvey, will hail with a great deal of pleasure, the decision of Editor Rhodes of The Philadelphia Tribune, to open his columns to contributions from the pen of the Hon. S. A. Haynes, president of Philadelphia Division, No. 10, on the life of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, thus giving the readers of the Tribune a fair opportunity to know, the truth about the muchmaligned, but unswerving and fearless leader of the world's greatest movement sponsored by Negroes. We take this opportunity of expressing the great depths of gratitude from the hearts of the millions of those who follow Marcus Garvey to Editor Rhodes, and those associated with him. He believes in fairplay. He is willing to give the cause of Truth a hearing. May his tribe increase, and may he live long to see his efforts come into a grand and glorious fruition, is the earnest prayer of those who follow Garvey. "The Case of India" BRITAIN will have her hands full in dealing with the flon-violent uprising in India, against British mis-rule an oppression. India, in her demand for complete independence from British domination, has a just cause. She is exercising the right which belongs to every people. She is exercising a right which Britain has upheld, as well as other great nations of the world. Besides this, the masses in India have a greater cause for grievance, against British oppression, than was had by almost any subject people. British treatment of the Indian masses is a blot upon her fair escapchection; a crime in government, and disgrace to civilization. How can the conscience of that great nation give her case, is a wonder to anyone who is conversant with the happenings in India under British misrule, for years and years without number. With a culture and civilization all her own; with a tradition, and alien domination. The hearts of all civilized men beat as one with during to assert her rights before the gaze of all mankind. Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, and his chosen associates the India of today has set out to wage a bloodless war against tyranny, oppression, and Indian domination. The hearts of all civilized men beat as one with India in her struggles to be free. India has refused to resort to force, thereby giving Britain no excuse for using force to restrain her, and so try to keep her sons and daughters in subjection; but by that very fact she is dealing more of a death blow to British dominance than could have been delivered, by a million Sepoys or Afriads under arms. In his policy of non-resistance, non-cooperation, Mahatma Gandhi is paralleling the activities of the British cotton mills, since India is her greatest customer in the consumption of those goods, especially because this industry forms so great a part of the strength of British trade. England faces a problem, and she deserves it. She turned deaf ears to the pleadings of the people of India for justice, for just too long, and must pay the penalty. Her statesmen would readily grant, independence to India if there was any means of guaranteeing the continuance of the Indian trade. The future is pregnant with possibilities for these two great nations—India and England; What will the decision of Britain be? India has already made her meaning clear to all mankind. 17TH the announcement from the headquarters of the National Negro Business League, that Negro Trade Week will be celebrated in the next few weeks, we are reminded that it is our solenion obligation to keep the attention of the Negro Peoples of the World focused upon the activities of commerce and industry, of Negroes, for Negroes, and by Negroes. In celebration this week of Negro Trade, it will be the business of the National Negro Business League, as well as other Negro organizations, wherever our people dwell to bring the attention of the Negro businessman to the fact that in order to insure the support and constant trade of the Negro buying public, he will have to cooperate with other Negro business men in his own particular line, so that by pooling their interests and their capital they may be able to buy at rock-bottom prices, and thus be able to pass the savings on to the Negro consumers, which will surely-rebound to their credit, because of the increased patronage which will naturally come from the Negro consumer. On the other hand the Negro consumer will have to be more patriotic, more racially conscious than he has hitherto been, and be willing to meet his brother tradesmen half-way, so that each may mutually profit, for the ultimate good of the race. We must all bear in mind that the final goal towards which we are all striving is the economic independence and stability of the race; so that the Negro, wherever his peregrinations take him, will be able to finance his undertakings, accelerate progress, and give power and impetus to Negro organizations, of any kind, which his fertile mind may picture. We are therefore looking forward to Negro Trade Week to be a real source of inspiration to the hearts and minds of Negroes everywhere, so that the race, taking on a new and exalted view-point, as to the status of the Negro in business and in any line of endeavor in the future will be able to face the obligations of the hour in a calm and truffled manner, because of a sure economic foundation laid in the recent day. George. We believe you should not ignore our side of the U. S. foreign policy in Georgia here any other time. This is a valuable opportunity for President Herbert Hoover to square himself with all the professions of America in keeping order abroad, by quartering the mariners down in Georgia, all these uncivilized fortunes learn of the impact human lives. How about it Mr. President? The continued repetitions of these attractive acts give strength to the cry of Marcus Carvey and his followers who make the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, (August 1929) of the World—"Africa for the Africans at home and abroad," which paraphrased into common, everyday parlance, means the setting up in Africa, the land of their fathers, a strong, powerful and respect-commanding-government of Negroes, by Negroes, so that redress could be demanded and secured, whenever the wolves get loose in Georgia. "U. N. I. A. Leaders Attention" EVERY day, from everywhere, comes the call to the leaders of the U. N. I. A. to rise up and be men; the kind that will be worthy of the respect and admiration of their fellows; worthy of shouldering great responsibilities, and rousing the sensibilities of this race of ours to the pitch where nothing will satisfy the Negro but "freedom, or oblivion." Therefore, leaders of this great organization, which is straining every nerve for the crystallization of Negro thought, and the unification of Negro effort, the time has come when we must prove our worth, or step aside. No half-measures are going to satisfy the Negro. No cringing is going to be tolerated from any quarter. Leaders, like to the rank and file, must produce; must demonstrate merit, worth, courage and achievements. Nothing else is going to satisfy the masses who follow after. Facing the trials of the day, let us go boldly forward, in our earnest endeavors to wring victory out of defeat, to resurrect the freedom of the race out of the ashes of slavery and serfdom. Up men, and at it! "The eyes of the world are on us!"

So come right on now! friends, in this great drive. Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press The Negro Editorial in Lexington (Ky.) Leader of March 30, 1929 The 'New York Times' the other day in an editorial quoted a letter from Major Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee, the leading representative of his life in the United States, who declared that the people wish to see the word 'Negro' capitalized. The Times goes on to say that it gladly joins the other newspapers, North and South, that have accorded this recognition. The Louisville Times, in this connection, says that it has for a good while, about seven years, used the capitalized form, and expresses the opinion that it was the first newspaper to adopt the capital "N." It may not be a matter of much importance but The Lexington Leader wishes it to be known that it has used the capitalized form for 42 years, or since the beginning of its publication, a fact to which Mayor James J. O'Frien, for many years a member of The Leader's composing room force has called attention in a letter. If the words Caucasian, Semite, African, Greek, Roman and other such racial and national denominations are capitalized, there is every reason for the use of the capital in this instance. It is interesting to note that men satisfied horse and okened oxen instead of lions. The lions made it dangerous for men to saddle them, and they go free; oxen submitted and they bear the yoke. There are some lion-minded n and then there are some oximinded men. The former put aside a shekel for the rainy day; the latter spend as they make it, or, even before. One of these classes must wear the yoke; the other can go free and "roar" if need be. It is never safe to ride a horse, "thinking that he made it unsafe for those who ride to yoke them or put a saddle upon their backs. God did not gie man, the strength of a lion but he supplied him with a thinking apparatus that does the work if used—The St. Luke's herald. The Truth!

People forgiven to put them under injury or abuse by the White man—Chicago (M.) White. Opinion of Failure Affective Action Whatever our white people are ground into the arena of the question of forgiveness for Negroes, the answer will be The Negro deserves the recognition which has been asked and which is being generally granted. The race in America has made a wonderful climb out of the depths of slavery, out of ignorance and out of poverty in the last sixty years. They have gained education, wealth, and economic and political standing. They have become an important element in the life of the country and on the whole have won and have held the respect and the good will of the dominant race infamous when they have lived and worked.

For some (the weather isn't) might even die. As if they very presence some dread evil brought. The stillness of the night can pleasure being. Watching you chase the shadows on the floor. Good company although a tiny thing! grees prefer white leaders. Usually this is the last defense of the indigestible. We have heard it in politics, in business, and in the army and even in the church. But with the example of 50,000 Negro churches with pulpits occupied by black men of every denomination Rev. John T. Gillard, white Josephite, a spokesman for the Catholic church, speaking at the meeting of the Federated Colored Catholics here last week discouraged the idea of more Negro priests. Silly was his first reason: i.e., that Negro priests cannot mix socially with whites in the South. Then realising how ridiculous it is to talk of social distinction and at the same time force white priests upon colored people, he added lamey: "I doubt whether colored congregations would be willing to obey priests of their own group. The services of some of the sace priests already appointed have not been so satisfactory." That's a feel blow below the belt, an ugly, uncleaned that imparted the rigour of the body watch, which set a despairing tone, giving a suppression sustaining from the prince's presence. Dr. Thomas W. Tennant, great Custy, the Jesse, witnessed a suppression sustaining and purging of prince houses, he begged. "We have good sympathy before him and are the one." We prayed and Peter Church as giving suppression to the same thing and prayed for the prince.

Editor, The Negro World: Recently I attended a mass meeting where a discussion of the unrest in India was presented. The principal speaker was Dr. Dalip Singh Saund, a recent graduate from the University of California, a very capable and efficient patriot for his people. By way of introduction, the speaker related some historical facts concerning India's former status. (1) How did England get control of India? One of the outstanding revelations was the treachery of some of the Indians—themselves. (2) How had India justified herself for self-rule? The intellectual ability of Rabindrath Tagbre and the organizing ability of Mahatma Gandhi were cited. (3) What means have been adopted to usher in their independence? The utterance of a prominent political student was quoted to sustain this contention. "When officers resign their office and subjects refuse allegiance to the government—the revolution is accomplished." (4) What are the prospects for success? This last answer included the astonishing influence of the Indian National Congress in awakening the masses. A fitting quotation from a Filipino statesman was paraphrased: "We would rather be governed like hell ourselves, than like heaven, by the BRITISH." India's "Pampered Swine" When the lecturer had concluded his remarks, an opportunity to ask questions from the floor was given. One question of particular interest was "What will the Indian people do with the princes who have sold themselves to the British?" The speaker explained that all evil in India must be eliminated. The princes, because of all the people, and not any particular class, he said. Gandhi also referred to the exploiting princes as "India's pampered swine." To the writer, this inference was of striking significance. For in America, such a type we have by the thousands, Educators, who prognosticate their intelligence for mercenary gilts; lecturers, who deliver to us 'propagandized' addresses; preachers, who tell us that we should not seek an earthly home or habitat of our own environment; politicians who tell us that government-administered by others is superior to that directed by ourselves. Yes, these and many others too numerous to mention must be reformed, or otherwise disposed of, before Ethiopians can safely present themselves. Please allow me a little space in the columns of your paper, to address a letter to the Rt. Rt. Dr. R. R. Porter. My Dear Dr. Porter: "Your, writing under the caption" "Unification of Religious Beliefs" which appeared in the issue of The Negro World of October 5, has prompted me to write you this letter with the same impulse that prompted you to write that article. In scanning the discussions of the recent convention held in Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., as reported through the columns of The Negro World and seeing where the religious question had been actually helped I immediately registered my disgust towards the matter. The delegates were not to unanimify with the President-General, in discussing and laying a permanent base for such a useful, glorious, self-consoling problem. It is either that they were afraid of criticism or they were not sufficiently prepared to tackle the subject. You cannot be more highly congratulated upon the stand you have taken, in pressing upon the minds of Negroes everywhere the imperative need of a united religious belief, and your statement that they cleared the ground to any other discussion nowwithdrawal. I sincerely trust that the delegation who attend of the recent convention along with other interested parties will be going to and will attend a conference during the present conference—all of these may be held by groups of a maximum number and a total subject of the nature of our own cooperation. Missionary for the Mission and enlisting you as your closest expatriate friend. Mr. Billson The University of North Carolina Tue, Nov 11 I am kindly asking for quotes to your best wishes and weekly annual, to seriously, extend my expression to my fellow-readers of The Negro World. We are known, and esteemed, that all films have on new ideas some. We all at times can give nothing to our Honorable Martin Garvey, but heartfelt thanks and all high esteem for his most profound and marked skill, securing and carving always the heart of our people, find a place of security. Certainly now, he has brought to us new ideas from the Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro People of the World. 'Now, what are we going to do? Are we going to stand aside and see things happen? No, though we have many in our group with a heavy, staggering idea, 'devoid of racial consciousness,' but still we can rejoice with the many intelligent, 'such who embraces the opportunity to take to serious thinking of our low down condition; and which we mean to use, regardless of all obstacles which may loom upon our horizon. Such are those who grasp the meaning of getting together, doing things together as one man, so as to get the kind of result that our very souls cry for, in the modern civilization. If we do not jot of doubt can be taken away from it; that we all fully, appreciate the working of the-Hon. Marcus Garvey, so must we do all in our ability, to carry out the plans which he and those brave delegates, who assembled and conferred with him, for the turning but of success, for the good and welfare of the race agreed on. There is no reason why we will fail to respond in the spirit of improvement we think now; and, indeed, there will be no drawing back. It means a facing forward. We claim all things uplifting, for we are coming to the understanding of it, though in the gloomy days, our eyes could not see, but in these 'days of light, heaven has illumined us to and everything is made clear, because of this great illumination which has been infused through consequences; and we see things matriculated. The Negro World stands as one of the greatest mediums, for it stands for the best, traveling from one part of the world to another, delivering the messages from good thinkers. So then, for all reason, allow me to say if we the Negroes, in all years of preaching, and the teaching still have never reached a conclusion, then we were solely responsible for our its. Thank God, that it is now coming to the age of maturity, wherein we can gather to ourselves, that we are industrially responsible to bring to fruition these great plans that have been, so magnificently discussed for our future welfare. Let us arise fellowmen of our race, and strive for that good that lies in its element, ready at the disposal of our zone. Thanking you for peace, Mr. Butler. The white world ought to come to a conclusion by this, after so many nasty ships have been given to them by the so-called (elected) interior race for the serious mistakes and woeful blunders which they have made, in the methods used in forcing their corrupt civilization upon others. History speaks for itself the treacherous, greedy, brutal and unrightless means used by the white race, in facing to the proclaimance they are in today. In spite of all the evil enemies they will not even get ashamed and mend their ways; but instead of it all, are still perpetuating of the same old game. It is a trump saying: "That after a man once loses self-respect, he will do anything." I only hope that the great white men who are held responsible for their race will make haste to correct the wrongs done by their race to others, who looked to them for light and leading, before it is too late; for woe be unto them when the day of reclaiming shall come. Thanking you for space, Mr. Editor, and for past favors, I remain. Yours in the cause Africa. The most interesting man, with the possible exception of Marcus Garvey, is Mahatma Gandhi, and of men of international prominence, none so much resembles the Saviour as he. Just picture in our minds his march to Dandi. Heights oppression resonately, in a passive way; but preaches love and gratitude towards his oppressors. Non-violence is his policy. What shall England do? If she imprisoned she may make a martyr of him; if she imprisoned him his freedom, he may not all India. If so, many millions merely die, shall the joke be sufficient, or shall Britain laughter these unenlightened Christians (not Christian) kill? After some deliberative reflections, I am of the opinion that the agitating Senator in his earlier hint may require the membership of both houses a great service. But if there is any one factor from which the Negro peoples born within the United States have suffered immeasurably, it has most certainly been that of deception. We have been literally fooled into a state of "semi-concealment," where few of us realized what was going on around us by the other fellow. While it is true that none of us, with any degree of self-respect, approve of the wholesale condemnation of the black race, by the Southern Senator, we are forced to admire him for his courageous expressions or views. Even though many of us might criticize the speaker for his bitter remarks — such declarations should aid us in obtaining a better understanding of his real psychology. Anglo-Saxon Idealism The Anglo-Saxon patriots of this country have established standards suitable and adaptable to their beliefs, and it is folly on the part of any alien minority to contest such standards in the face of such a tremendous majority. Negroes living in such an atmosphere cannot hope to overthrow such a predominance of public opinion and sentiment. Those of us born in America are "subjects" of the government with a "citizen" label (And labels can be torn away with little effort). Build For Ourselfs The time has arrived for us to mite on one common platformform and build for ourselves. The only organization with such a platform is that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (August 1929) of the World. The members of this organization are contending for the redemption of Africa, where a government of Negroes, for Negroes', and by Negroes can be erected. Until such a condition has been created, little relief can be obtained or hoped for. I am reminded at this juncture of a slogan adopted by a well known face cleansing manufacturer, which reads: "Don't envy a beautiful complexion—use POMPEIAN Massage Cream and HAVE one." If this slogan could be paraphrased, I would suggest that we say: "Don't envy other people's governments—'Join the U. N. I. A. (August 1929) of the World and help us BUILD one!' Fraternity yours, ARTHUR IS. GRAY. Los Angeles, CA. Feb. 19, 1920. To the Editor, The Negro World: Dear Sir: Today the civilized world is yelling for peace in the hope of making this world a better place to live in. You only a few days ago, according to the latest message from Coca-Cola, South Africa, the English children show down women, many of whom were important mothers. This proves to us that the many Disarmament Conferences are only a waste of time and energy. Within the last few months the greatest and richest copper field in the world has been discovered in Northern Rhodesia. Metal thunder in hundreds of millions of tons in thousands of square miles, in fact, briefly, a field that may prove the largest and richest ever discovered in modern times. Not we know the cries of millions of our down-trodden race in these United States that they have "toss nothing" in Africa; neither did Britain or France; but they are finding wealth in abundance in the black man's country while Negroes are bering their bread in the white man's land. Yours for an awakened race. LESTER BISHOP. To the Editor, The Negro World. Dear Sir: In spite of the mass of evidence that has been accumulated for some time, the Negro at home in Africa will not be tricked much longer out of his indisputable rights. There are some white writers who strongly believe that this will continue indefinitely, to do so would precipitate a cataclysm. The wheel of progress is steadily marching on, and before they make any attempt to stop the colored world from achieving their aim, the white world had better prepare to do battle with the -enraged millions, who at last have appreciated the strength that comes with unity. Every falsehood that is told by the historians should be unearthed, and the Negro should not fall to take credit for the wonderful and glorious achievements of his forefathers in Africa. Europe a. Asia. The people of Africa in the earlier days of history were able, and did impress their civilization, culture and racial characteristics, and feature upon the peoples of Asia and southern Europe. The dark Spaniards, Italians and Asiatics are the allowed offsprings of a powerful African civilization and nationalism. Any other statement given by white historians is untrue.

Dear Sir: As a friend of mine, and a friend of the colored leather pushback, I am asking you to do me the favor of seeing to it that Larry Johnson, colored fighter, receives a letter that I am sending to him in care of you. Well, Mr. Salis, since you gave me that write-up in The Negro World last year, I have got only four fights. So you can see the state of fighting here in Cuba. If you try to be a good fighter, and don't follow some of the promoter's offers, you starve. In my last fight I was told to let my opponent and a middleweight, stay the ten rounds with me; but in the seventh he started in telling me things and banging me with everything he had, so I knocked him out and by so doing. I have not had a fight going on two months now. I am writing Larry to see, if his manager, would take me across and pilot my future ring activities. Mr. Saltus, as a great sportman, can you see where any fighter can get acting fighting ten and twelve rounds for as low as twenty-five bucks? You can believe every word of it, for your humble servant has fought for that said amount on four different occasions. During the time I have been fighting in Cuba, the highest amount I have earned in the ring is $75.00, and that was when I fought a colored American in Guantanamo. I only write you this, showing you the condition of fighting here and because my many admirers want to see me up there doing my best. Mr. Saltus, I am not asking you to print anything about me because an the first place it looks like if I was asking to be pitted and secondly, it would make it still worse for me here. So wishing you the best of luck. We have a Piece of Mail in the office for LARRY JOHNSON. BOXING SHADOW ED. THE NEGRO WORLD GET A MYSTIC LUCKY RING Jee lucky. Have more money, friends, sweethearts.

C. up where the Harry Smith-Billy Franklin feature beat. The match was expected to put Smith to a good test, as Franklin had set up a wonderful knock-out record, bowling over some of the best middleweights of the day. But Harry evidently, trained seriously for the encounter and entered the ring in the bast of fighting form. He used an inside uppercut with both hands that was just too bad. It was not long before he had Franklin's mouth and nose bleeding terribly. From this attack Billy received a deep cut in his lip in the fourth round, and it annoyed him so, that he did not care to carry on. Franklin was completely out-classed, being driven to the mat twice for a short count. If Harry keeps up at the present pace, he will give Courtney plenty of trouble when they meet on April 30th at the Garden. Rosenbloom and Johnson To Meet Again April 30th Maxey Rosenbloom and Larry Johnson go to bat again on April 30th, at Madison Square Garden. I hope that Maxey will be a game bexer, and not try to win on a foul in the event Larry takes the lead away from him. I think it best to suggest to Johnson that he direct his attack at head and chest, so that he will be sure that there will not be a possible chance of them calling a foul. Rosenbloom does not like it on the chin. He was knocked out once or twice by a right cross to the jaw. So Larry let his tummy alone and play up, if you do this you will be more successful. Billy Jones Hands Defeat to Jimmy Braddock PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 10.—Billy Jones, 174, went out of his class here Monday night to score the most notable win of his career over James J. Braddock, 1831, in the final bout at the Arena. Jones won seven of the ten rounds, and one was even, according to the Courier press shoot. Billy used a left jab to good effect in the early rounds and then shifted to a body attack which completely puzzled and bewildered his heavier opponent. The Jenneyman apparently injured his right hand in the French centre and it was an ineffective weapon from then on. He was continually guilty of illegal punches, until conditioned by Reference Booth. By this win, the former Pittsburgh boy established his right to be considered a logical contender for the high-powerweight championship. Kingpin observers claimed that his victory over Braddock was more impressive than that of Tommy Floquigan, former titleholder. Boo Decision ATLANTA, Ga., April 32.—Thousands of rabbit fans cut through Roby's light card at the auditorium Wednesday night. Some were thrilled with the inarvicious exhibition, while others, joined on different occasions at the referend's decision, which was everything but popular with the cauliflower audience. After the Gans and Dunn match, which appeared from the ridgeside to be a clear-cut decision for Gans, Referee Eddie Dillon raised Dunn's hand and the huge crowd openly booed the official, which was evidence of dissatisfaction. The fans were so dissatisfied with the referee's ruling in this fight that they booed him when he was being announced for the main attraction between Jack Townsend and Bob Lawson, which the latter won by a decision. This bout held the huge crowd spellbound for ten stanzas, as the hard blows seemed to tax the spectators' nerves. Townsend, at the early rounds, loked a sure winner over Lawson, who rallied in the later rounds to win the verdict by a slight margin. If any, both men were bleeding frequently throughout the fight. Townsend was using his left hand with the precision of a master and teacher.

Miss McKinney knows clothes, and wears them with grace and distinction. Being small and daintily curved, she wears present-day fitted garments with a decided air. Miss McKinney's gorgeous wardrobe was the talk of the smart set of Chicago, where she recently appeared for a large charity benefit. Simultaneous with her sartorial sensation, her interpretation of the "King Vidor Strut" captivated the young son's set of the Windy City, who renamed it the "Nina Mae Drag". Pittsburgh, no doubt will fall victims to the charm of this vivacious actress, whose ability to sing, dance and act have won her international fame. The Harlem Amusement Company, under whose direction Miss McKinney will appear, has secured the famous Club Alabam for the midnight cabaret party in her honor. Mr. Gus Greenles has granted special permission to call April 18 Nina Mae McKinney Night in honor of the Broadway beauty. European Debt PARIS, France, April 10, 1892.

Stepin Fetchit's Easy Ways Will Get Him Down Stepin Fetchit's Easy Ways Will Get Him Down LOS ANGELES, April-Chased into a chicken coop, the sleepy film star, Stepin Fetchit, was severely beaten here Sunday by his frate brother-in-law. Stepin became entangled in chicken wire and was unable to defend himself. The fracas resulted from a fight a week ago when Fetchit asserted hit Simon Johnson over the head with an iron bar. Sunday, the brothers-in-law met at a friend's home and Johnson followed Fetchit out the front door. Taking refuge in a chicken coop, Fetchit came to graff and received a pummeling from Johnson who walked away leaving the comedian selflessly entangled in wire. "A Daughter of the Congo" Features Roland C. Irving "A Daughter of the Congo" Features Roland C. Irving BY GERALDYN DISMOND NEW YORK, April 12.—When Roland C. Irving attended the premiere showing of Micheaux's latest motion picture production, 2A Daughter of the Congo," in which he plays one of the leading parts, he will be carried back just ten years ago when, on April 9, 1920, he stepped from a ship returning from a 13 months' trip along the West Coast of Africa, visiting each important town in Doha, Noumea, Le Seyne, Leconte, Amman, Port Harecourt, Bomont, and Matiad. The last three towns mentioned are located up along the Congo river, Matiad, that time, we are on many antiquing vefail could travel in the Congo. Irving, who, with the assistance of the matriarch, Paul S. W. Westcott, composed of that gentle for the treble song for the picture, left here in March, 1916, on the S. S. Polke Bear, an American commercial ship, and was 20 years straight calling to Dolphin, the first ship along the African coast. The Polke Bear was the first dragon-shaped vessel to carry the Storm and Stripes up the Congo river. During the trip he witnessed personal details due to yellow fever, from the interior boat in that part of the country, who was also children with this deadly fever himself, and had to be carried where at Storm Lake for an emergency operation in the hospital, which resulted in saving his life. on the return trip this ship defied helpless, for several days and nights in mid-ocean, due to engine trouble, and had to be towed into St. Georges. Bermuda, for repairs. After spending several weeks in St. Georges and Hamilton, Bermuda, Irving hooked passage on the. S. Fort Hamilton and landed in little old New York from a 14 months' trip full of experience—just 10 years ago. We'll see Irving, back in Africa again, playing opposite Kathleen Nolseite in "A Daughter of the Congo," when this picture is released to all the colored playhouses.

Lincoln "Sophs" Honored by Intra- Mural Council The Lincoln University Intra-Mural Council under the supervision of Coach "Bill" Taylor, gave their first annual banquet in the honor of the Sophomore class basketball team. This was the first affair of its kind even in the honor of the champion in class team in competitive athletics. It was pointed out by the president of the council Mr. William A. Jackson, incidentally the constructor, that the event was to serve as an incentive for better intra-mural sports for the future at Lincoln. The speakers for the occasion were Mr. J. R. Fraser, Mr. Furman Templeton, John George Johnson, and Professor H. F. Grim, and W. L. Wright. The main speech was delivered by Mr. Templeton. He chose for his topic: "The Value of Intra-Murals to a University". This particular speech was well worthy of praise as he emphasized the fact that intra-mural sports broaden the field for the masses; they are essential for good health and bring about operation and friendliness. The elaborate and much enjoyed outdoor camp in close with the presentation of the film and the public applause and enthusiasm will apply the theme.

Por un lado tenemos la tal llamada amistad, la cual tiende a calmar nuestros animos ejecuatorios y por el otto lado afrontamos las demostraciones de hostilidad. Entre nuestros tal llamados amigos y reconocidos enemigos estamos casi maniatados; se nos ha colocado entre la esplada y la pared. Pero el lider nacionalista mismo continuó en libertad, sin que la polícia tratase de molestarle, y desde luego, sorprendido de la indiferencia oficial hacia su personalidad. Los inimos amigos del lider nacionalista dteen que.también se ha visto desilusionado al ver que las autoridades no lo arrestan. Algunos de los directores, de nuestro elemento, quienes nada en concreto han llevado a la realización y no han sido lo suficientemente sinceros para investigar aquello que realmente deba ser escudriñado, con sus manifestaciones tratan hacernos creer que todo marcha bien; pero cuando llegamos a la prueba final de los resultados, vemos que dia por dia, año por año vamos perdiendo terreno en el campo político, económico y social de nuestra raza. Gandhi, visitó el pueblo de Bhimrad, donde fue recibido en triunfo por un grupo de mujeres cantando canciones revolucionarias. La parte que las mujeres juvenen en la campaña aumenta constantemente, especialmente en la Gujarat. la región al norte de la presidencia de Bombay. Tambien se observó que la poetisa Sarojini Naidu ha sido designada por Mahatma Gandhi para su segundo ayudante, para en caso de su primer ayudante. Abbas Tyabij, se arrestado. La posición politica de nuestro elemento universalmente es ya casi insoportable. En el continente africano, por ejemplo, la profesada amistad ha arrebatado de nuestras manas casi todo lo que a nosotros pertenecía, apertrechándose con un nuevo poder colonial que se hace a cada instante casi invulnerable. En este lado del Atlantico encontramos que somos simplemente hijos de las circunstancias. Se nos mofa, se nos maltrata, se nos persigue en toda ocasión y todo ello acontece bojo el antifaz de la tall llamada amistad. Gandhi dijo a los habitantes de Bhimrad que estaba satisfecho al encontrarlos en jovial y que confaba que continuarian en este estado mental, al cuando algunos de ellos, pudieran más tarde ser heridos y aun asesinados. Hemos de permaccer sumisos y permitir la continuación de esta clase de tratamiento? - El director conciente y sincero de nuestra raza debe ejecutar un algo práctico; debe hallar el remedio para nuestro mal; debe hallar la solución para el problema de nuestra árdua condición actual; debe poner en ejecución un programa de redención económica, redención social, redención política. El gobernador de Bombay ha posuesto su viaje anual a su residencia de verano en Mahabaleshwar a fin de continuar al tanto de la situación en esa sección de la India inglesa. Nueve miembros del partido nacionalista indio abandonaron la asambla legislativa después de haberse presentado a su aprobación un decreto imperial en el que se impunía un gravamen de un cimo por científico a científicos de la industria铝energía. Conio factor de gran importancia en el córrelave del género humano, el negro no debe desperdiciar momento ni oportunidad alguna para laborar en pro de su propio enaltecimiento. El sinnúmero de desavnencias de que somos objeto, nos esfuerza a promulgar un nuevo entusiasmo enla el elemento de nuestra raza, con el propósito de crear la verdadera inclinación hacia un medio práctico de acción unisona. Juntamente con-la retirada de estos legislativos el jeje de dicho partido nacionalista. Pandit Malaviya, ha enviado una extensa carta a Lord Irwin, vicerrey de la India, diciendo que, el habia permanecido alejado por especio de 25 años de toda actividad legislativa debido a que segun su convención el gobierno no acomete las reformas dentro de un verdadero espiritu. El género humano se ha posesionado de una inspiración y por ese medio encarria la causa de su progreso. Los que formamos parte integrante de este movimiento enaltecedor, con esa misma inspiración recurrimos al espíritu de adelanto del negro y con identico propósito. Entrando de lleno en el campo de las actividades, es nuestro mayor deseo el solidificar los intereses comunes de nuestra raza en general. Declara que la mayoría de la asamblea se ha visto forzada muchas veces y ha votado por colectión, violando la autonomía fiscal de la misión. Apesar de nuestra contacto con la civilización actual, algo desorientados hemos patrocinado un odio y una rivalidad entre nosotros mismos, lo cual ha traído por consecuencia no solo nuestra ruina social, sino también nuestra ruina económica y política. Nos hemos segregado en grupos antagónicos, cuyo sentimiento se manifesta cuando no en pugna de clase o de color, en pugna de nacionalidad, apartándonos más y más de la unificación que nos proponemos establecer. H. S. Aney otro líder del partido nacionalista dice que un comienzo del puesto de inganibles quiere que coincida con el di en que Mahatma Gandhi se arrestado por su campaña de decobedicencia el gobierno no británico. En Vin Reconstructiva Nuestro elemento progresista esta determinado a que se opere un cambio completo sobre tal actitud desconcertante; por ello nuestra apelación una y otra vez a todo el elemento de la raza uniiversalmente. Hemos de progresar simplemente por möglich de un esfuerzo y de una acción unida. En este particular debemos seguir el ejemplo de aquellos que conto raza laboran unidos por su propio bien común. Ellos han obtenido exito impionio su modo de pensar; han presentado al mundo el programa que establece su derecho y soberania en desventaja del resto de la humanidad. Su propaganda ha cooperado a hacerles duenos y señores de la situación, y todos aquellos que la han aceptado se han convertido en sus fieles servidores. Ejemplos prácticos de tal naturaleza nos aliejan en nuestro esfuerzos por la adquisición de nuestro ideal— La república de Haiti se ha en entregado a su vida normal de negocios. El pueblo ha abredido los actividades politicas, después de abugar que Eugene Roy actuar de presidente accidental. Incluso el grupo enbezando por Luis Borno, se ha unido con los otras fracciones en el dibro la selección de Roy. Se cree que los típicos políticos se encontraran en su mejor estado de pacificación cuando la campaña para las elecciones presidenales den principio a fines del verano. Según las disposiciones constitucionales, el Consejo de Estado debe de reunirse el dia 14 del corriente mes, para proceder a la elección de un presidente que suceda al actual senor Luis Borno, cuyo período presidencial expira el dia 15 de mayo.

Aunque el congreso no pudiese conseguir ahora más que la iniciativa en los estudios diversos o de esta clase, ya habra ganado mucho. La frase preparación para la Independencia, que el es el general de estas discusiones, no indica solamente que debemos estudiar desde hoy los medios de obtenerla; hay algo más duradero, más permanente; saber mantener esa independencia en todos los tiempos por los diferentes medios a nuestro alcance. Se va demostrando patentemente que la independencia no es un nuevo asunto de pedir y de hablar; no es un gesto politico; no es una actitud academica; es una responsabilidad enorme. El país irá compendiendo de este modo que la independencia es una cosa que supondra sacrificios, ya que sin sacrificios previos no existe felicidad y menos libertad.

Wesley head of the history and political advance department of the university was master of ceremonies. Both sides acquitted themselves well, and neither abused any great advantage over the other. The general sentiment of the audience seemed to be that while the Oberlin representatives had superior police and the art of dishething, the Howard representatives deserved commendation for their mastery of their subject. Mr. Swan of Howard and 25e. Cotton of Oberlin were generally accorded the highest individual honor their respective respects but neither side showed any weak spots nor each team gave evidence of careful and conscientious preparation and training. Much credit for the excellent presentation of the Howard team is due to the coaching of Mr. Emmet Dorsey, a former Oberlin teacher and Professors Emile Holley and Howard Gregg. The two teams are scheduled to discuss the same question at Oberlin April 18. Negro enterprises wider support," it adds.

UTOPIA PRODUCIN, SALES CORPORATION, 2067 Broadway, N. W. C. INFORMATION FROM THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY the commission of the unemployed was arrested at the University of Pennsylvania by the University of Pennsylvania the University of Pennsylvania who shaped the commission. The effort to been made to allow to long hours of employment the members of this unemployed delegation, consisting of William Z. Foster, secretary of the Trade Union Unity League under the direction of which the unemployed conferences were held; Robert Milner, editor of the Daily Worker, the only English language daily newspaper that championed the cause of the jobless; Israel Amiel, New York district organizer of the Communist party, and two seemen, Harry Raymond and Joseph Lester. On two charges alone, "unlawful assembly and felonious assault," the ruling class hopes to send the members of this unemployed delegation to eight years imprisonment each, 40 years in all! We, the members of — , pledge our support to the jailed and persecuted March 6th fighters for the unemployed. We demand their immediate liberation. We demand freedom for Foster, Minor, Amater, Raymond and Lester, the members of the New York delegation of the March 6th unemployed demonstration. We see in this capitalist class vengeance against the March 6th fighters of the unemployed the growing attack of the boss class in its efforts to outlaw the class struggle organizations of the working class. We pledge ourselves to join in the defense of the 113 workers now facing 1,105_years' imprisonment under the so-called criminal syndicalism (ant-sedition) laws. While these laws are now being used to attack the Communist party especially, the most compromising, conscious and militant section of the working class, it is under cover of these laws that the boss clauses develops its attacks against all the demands of labor. We pledge ourselves to join in the struggle for the protection of the masses of foreign-born workers, against registration, finger-printing, photographing and other proposed legislation now before Congress; against all forms of discrimination against foreign-born workers, and to join in the struggle against the whole-sale deportations of militant workers now taking place. We pledge our support to workers in their right to self-defense, to organize, to strike, to picket, and, in their struggle for their every day demands, for the shorter working, increased wages, no wage cuts and the demand for "WORK OR FULL WAGES". We demand an end to race discrimination in every form. We pledge ourselves to struggle against the growing wave of lynching of both Negro and white workers. No prison sentences for the militant spokesman of the unemployed; for the militant authority. For the class struggle unity of the whole working class: Two Pullman Porters Taken From Train at Memphis, Are Sent Back to Birmingham Negro Porter Charges That White Train Crow Lynched Wilkins Near sightedness entails an ac-ectly, upright condition. In near-sightness the eyeball is too long. The image therefore is thrown in front of the retina. While the eyellary muscle can contract the lens, making it more convex, it is powerless to flatten the lens beyond its normal thinness when at rest. Thus, although the eye possesses a mechanism for drawing the image farther forward by means of the contraction of muscle and lens, it has no method of pull-ing' back an image which, when the eye is at rest, falls in front of the retina. The near-sighted person therefore is doomed to blurred vision of all distant objects. Near-sightedness can be corrected by means of an eyeglass with a concave lens which will make the light rays diverge, thus throwing the image farther back. In astigmatism there is an Ir- regularity in shape of cornea or lens. The horizontal and vertical meridians differ. A blurred image results. This error may be illus trated by drawing a line around Two Pullman H From Train at Sent Back t Negro Porter Charges Lynched Two other pullman porters, on the same train from which John H. Wilkins was taken and lynched, and who had been eye-witness to this disastrous crime, were not permitted to proceed to Kansas City with their train but were taken off at Memphis and sent back to Birmingham, according to the results of an investigation carried on by the representative of the International Labor Defense in Kansas City. A Negro porter in Kansas City, who declined to give his name but was on the same run as Wilkins, stated that it was the white train crew that stopped their train at Jesuit Grove and lynched Wilkins. Other information obtained by representatives of the International Labor Defense will indicate that the pretext for the lynching was that Wilkins could not find a berth for a white ERY PERSO an egg through the end and another line around the middle at right angles in the egg. It will be so soft that these lines have a very different opresure and that if the egg were made of glass it could not form a sharp focus as a glass sphere does. So it with an antisignal eye. It cannot form clear images. Vision is blurred. The ciliary muscle does its best to make adjustments. But real relief can be given only by proper eyeglasses. "Cross-eye results from the tendency of the eyes not to focus simultaneously on the same object. The unfortunate victim often forms the habit of using one eye and squinting the other. This condition is frequently caused by extreme far-sightedness or sometimes by muscular defects. It manifests itself in early childhood and should be treated as soon as it is observed, for, if allowed to go untreated, the vision of the squinted eye will ultimately be impaired. Adjustment may often be made by means of eyeslasses, although in extreme cases an operation is necessary. Porters Taken Memphis, Are o Birmingham That White Train Crow Wilkins. woman on the train, who insisted upon obtaining a berth. Wilkins is reported to have tried to appease the woman and is said to have smiled at her, for which 'terrible' crime he was lynched. All sections of the International Labor Defense in the South are busy unearthing, the facta involved and are preparing mass meetings of Negro and white workers to protest this lynching. J. H. Wilkins resided in Kansas City, Mo. Two children survive him. His widow works as a housekeeper.

SCOUTS-ATTENTION A young native of Africa, who is a Boy Scout is very anxious to receive correspondence from as many American Boy Scouts, as possible.

LAUGH THIS OFF given security to an amount and in a manner approved by the collector grant for the payment of duty by the commission for the admission to entertainance, to will be issued at West Park, attendance during the month of August, 1928, which was false in certain material particular, by omitting from such return the payments for admission to concerts held at Eldest Park, aforesaid on the 1, 2 and 3 days of August, 1929, contrary to section 5 of the Entertainment Duty Law 1919 (14 of 1919). The Judgment Mr. Robinson then said: Section 5 of Law 14 of 1919, the penal section, reads that if any person makes a return which is false in any material particular he should be liable in respect of each offense to a penalty of, etc. It appears that the defendant made arrangements approved by the collector-general for the furnishing, of returns to him. It is alleged that returns Were made, but that the dates 1, 2, and 8 August (1929) days on which concerts were held at Eddelwils Park, were omitted from the return. At the end of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Simpson moved for an acquittal on the ground that there was no jurisdiction proved. I am of the opinion that to make a return is really to make a report (in writing) to the collector general. The actual writing of the document may be making, the documents, but it only becomes a return when it is uttered for use as such. Making the return is making it to the Collector general, really furnishing it. There is no evidence of how it was delivered. It reached the collector general's office in Kingston. There is no evidence that the return or report that was declared to was posted in St. Andrew, which can see nothing in it, which requires it to be declared to. I must therefore find that jurisdiction has not been proved. Crown Solicitor's Request At the conclusion of the judgment, Mr. Harvey Clarke asked his Honor if he would consent to a case being stated for the opinion of the supreme court. His Honor said that the matter was of some importance, and if Mr. Harvey Clarke would draft a case in conjunction with Mr. Simpson he would state it. Mr. Harvey Clarke said that he would do that, but he would be glad if His Honor would help him by way of letting him know the section under the law with reference to stating a case. His Honor promised to do so. Mr. Simpson expressed, the opinion that he did not think His Honor could state a case as he had not awarded counterargument to the Court. The defendant had been dismissed. Mr. Harvey Clarke said that was why he had asked for the particular section of the law. His Honor then said that he would leave it at that, but if it could be done, the case might be stated. Discussion then followed concerning the case against Marcus Carvey and Vinton Davis for a breach of the same law. Mr. Harvey Clarke, who is also conducting the case for the Crown, explained the nature of the charge against the defendants, which charge he said if answer to His Honor was quite different to the other. In reply to Mr. Robinson, the Crown solicitor said that the defendants were charged with a technical breach of the law, lassuccus as there was a difference stated in the law between "concert" and "variety entertainment." Mr. Simpson, who is also defendant in this case, observed that instead of the defendants having been summoned to answer a charge, they should have been written to, pointing out the difference in question, which was technical and the error (if any) thereby corrected. The government he said, should never have brought the charge. After some more discussing, Wednesday, the 30th was fixed for the trial of the case. Statement (Continued from Page One) ers and organizers of the Trade Uni- city League—the new trade union center in the United States which is based in New York into militant industrial unions on the basis of full equality regardless of race, color or color. At the same time this increasing attack upon the working class con- tinues in an unprecedented wave throughout the entire country. The attack upon the March sixth de- mployment of employed and un- employed workers in many cities of the country, and the failure of the committee of five elected by 116,888 Mexico has been a major source of American capitalism since the 19th century and Mexico and New York, with workers, are not confined to the leading fishing towns to be called the "Mexican cities," but also to the industrial centers. The manifestations of homosexuals of Mexican overcrowds and peasant last December, the waging of a terror campaign against the workers of Cuba, Mexico and other Latin-American countries—all these are evidence of the growing attacks of American capitalism upon the working class and masses in the colonial countries. The International Labor Defense denounces vigorously the lynching of John H. Wilkins and other workers and the entire lynch system. The I. I. D. calls upon Negro and white workers, upon all workers, to rally to the defense of the working class, the defense of the masses in the colonial countries, and to fight against lynching and all forms of persecution of Negro workers. The I. I. D. calls upon all workers to join its ranks, to unite and build a more powerful defense movement of the working class. Down with lynching! Demand the release of the March 6th unemployment fighters! Demand the release of the Gastonia defendants and all chass-war prisoners! Support the defense struggles of the masses in the colonial countries! Down with the bosses' terror against the working class! Long live the unity of the Negro and white workers! Race Physicians (Consolidated from Page One) for protection and said, "They have reason to believe that their lives and property are in danger." Neither of the physicians has received 'threatening letters as yet, however, and neither has been accosted, by his neighbors or otherwise molested. Dr. Williams last night had they both are determined to remain. The section was exclusively white until they moved in, and the modern, comfortable homes were all owned by prosperous white residents. The physicians are young men, cultured in appearance and speech. Dr. Williams is a graduate of New York University and Bellevue Hospital, is married and has two children. Dr. Collymore is a graduate of Howard University and also is married. They refused to say whether they had purchased their homes through a white agent or had negotiated directly with the white owners. Excelsior (Continued from Page One) over. The audience was visibly moved. The reading of the President-General's weekly message from the front page of The Negro World, was listened to, with marked attention, by everyone in the hall, who followed the reader, Miss K. Colon, with almost bated breath, in their effort to catch the meaning of their leader's most message to them. A great cheer broke the silence at the close of the reading, which was followed by the singing of the hymn, "Father of All Cree, on," and a reading by Susanette Stewart, an address by M. Eleanor deLafayette, Miss Kildie Corner of The Negro World, came in for a great deal of applause, as well as an address by Ms. Oscar Biggins, and an instrumental quartet by members of the Corinthian band. The notices were given cut, and the offerings lifted while band discoursed lovely strains, which helped to liven up, things considerably. The audience then sang "Oh Africa Awaken!" and the chairman introduced Mr. J. E. Samuel's as the speaker for the evening. Mr. Samuel's made a heart-gripping appeal to the friends to come to a true understanding of the events now transpiring all around, and to link up their forces with the U. N. I. A. (August 1929) and work for the deliverance of the race from the fetters which bind us, baiting a way to freedom and to greatness.
