Barred From Orchestra. The Age is in receipt of a strong letter of complaint from Mrs. Jadida Strickland of 4042 Barronville, Williamsbridge, who tells of having been inherited to baltimore seats on several occasions, although she did not until finally she awoke to a realization of the fact that she was being made the victim of a deliberate segregation policy. In her letter, Mrs. Strickland writes, The colored people of New York City ought to deny Loew's American citizenship at the fire of the policy all of their shows is to be represented by that of Loew's American, 42nd street, and Loew's Victoria, 125th street. Several times I bought tickets at Loew's Victoria for orchestra seats and was told that I was to sit in the concert. When I found out the cause for this action I ceased attending that theatre, thinking that possibly they had a grievance against a certain race, but after an occurrence on February 13 at Loew's American came to the conclusion that the Loew's American deliberate attempt to segregate the people of the cooled race in their theatres. Ticket Taker Kept Stubs. "My husband, a postal employee, and myself, a teacher in the elementary schools' of the City of New York, went to Loew's American for an evening of pleasure. At the box office the procured two orchestra tickets. I proceeded ahead of him as far as the orchestra entrance, where I was stopped by another. We were asked for our stubs.

C.—In a joint meeting of the Orangeburg District Federation and the executive committee of the State Federation, held at State College, definite plans for future welfare and development of Fairwild Industrial School, Columbia, were considered and adopted. The meeting presided over by Mrs. Martin A. Menafea, president of the Orangeburg District, was attended by more than 150 women from club centers throughout the state. The feature of the meeting was the appeal of Mrs. M. B.

We returned to the ticket ticket, telling him that the usher had demanded our stubs before allowing us to enter the orchestra. He again said that we needed to attend the concert where we would be delighted the balcony where we be admitted without them. We told him that we had bought orchestra tickets and we were therefore entitled to orchestra seats, whereupon we were again told to go to the balcony. This we refused to do, and then, sensing the situation, we asked to have down and proceeded quietly from the theatre so as to suffer no further humiliation before the dozen or so people standing in the lobby at that time. "If this is the way this chain of theatres feel toward us then we should not enrich their coffers with one money, but we should ours be desired and appreciated and where we are assured of the justice, equality and respect that is justly due us as American citizens."

Young's Widow An editorial in The Age of February 11, calling attention to the meagre pension less than $75 monthly, which the government is paying to the widow of the late Col. Charles Young, who died in Africa while on duty in connection with the reorganization of the Liberian Constabulary, has stirred much interest. Among comments and suggestions when have reached the Age, comes one from the Kev, T. G. Clark of 55/ West Main street, Goshen, N. Y., who urges that the matter be presented to the appraisal of the presenting Mia. Young's district from Oho, with a view to securing the special congressional action needed to change her present status. He writes further: "Also, as an indication of the desire to see justice and fair play take their course, the need for the appraisal inserted in your valuable paper, I know there would be many people who would register their approval urging that such a bill be introduced. Col. Young was as worthy an American soldier as ever done the uniform, his life, his Liberty, West Africa, his life. I know what that country is from four years personal experience in the missionary field, from 1908 to 1912. I therefore trust that some measures may be taken by your organ to help the situation of your country. Col. Young's services was too outstanding in all the engagements he had, to allow this matter of the widow and children to go unnoticed."

BEREAN PASTORATE AGAIN CENTER OF CHURCH INTEREST Franklin Loews As Candidate Since Heggard Will Not Come Following the announcement last week from Painfield, N. J. that the Rev. D. W. Heggard had reconsidered his decision and would not come to Beren Baypalt Church, Brooklyn, as pastor, because the paper considered the majority of the deacon board are in favor of calling the Rev. C. L. Franklin, who was defeated by a narrow margin in the election which named Heggard. It is said now that before the election was held the deacon board the paper considered the various candidates is is the regular objectist customs and decided that only one candidate would be recommended, and the Rev. Mr. Franklin was the candidate agreed upon. To clinch this decision, it was voted that the skate be closed, thus preventing the deacon from being a candidate to be nominated, according to information given The Ace But The Age is informed from apparently authentic sources that before the election time came, Franklin overheard a. telephone conversation between the pastor of a certain Brooklyn church and one of his students, who had aroused his suspicions, and he communicated this information to another of the deacons, who was a strong Franklin supporter. Design. Df. Big. Row. This was told to other deacons, who took the deacon concern to task, and it is reported that feeling was so intense that there was imminent danger of bodily injury being done the deacon who had been deacon and the deacon in final action of the deacon board. This happened at the close of a Sunday morning's service. This also brought about a breach between Rev. Franklin and the pastor referred to, and this finally led to conference between the Rev. Franklin and the deacon at the latter's home. In this conference the talk waxed hot, and besides being reinmanded by his conferences, it is said that Rev. Franklin was threatened with defeat for the Berean pastorate. This rift, it is asserted by Rev. Franklin's friend, eventually led to the margin of two votes, through the violent opposition engendered by the unfriendiness of the minister, who is one of the most influential figures in Baptist church matters in Brooklyn. Now it is being said that Rev. Hoggard saidasee devilly and fearing a future crash, decided to stay where he be. Franklin is looming again as a strong candidate.

GHOST IN PARK PROVES TO BE HOMELESS NEGRO For more than a week the police of the Prospect Park Station in Brooklyn have been the harassed recipients of complaints that a ghost was at large somewhere near the Zoo. Children, playing in the early evening, ran home crying to their mothers about it; strollers, started on their walks, telephoned the station on their event. The children had the staircase and the six feet tall and big; their elbows were be wore a mask. Monday evening Sergeant Henry Serendir and Patrolman Edward Odell were making a tour of the park in a police fivber when the spiked the iron rod, a man sprinting down the little hill had been menagerie. With the ghost in mind, they turned off the lights of the car, and sole silently forward. The figure had disappeared into a chimp of bushes, so the policemen waited for it to come out. As if it had ten minutes later, they drew their pistols and clamped them. The first thing they saw was a wooden door, through the chinks and crannies of which a pale light was streaming. The second was that the door obviously hid a cave of fair dimensions. Sergeant Serendir, as before, the first in command, knocked, Yestertail. The policemen looked at one another, then pulled the ordinary door knob which was attached to the makeshift door. Solely they entered and confounded the figure, countenantly standing to receive them, who is this? The owner wanted to know. "The police," answered Sergeant Serendir, suppressing a desire to snigger. "Who are you?" "I live here," replied the ghost simply. Later, at the Empire Boulevardaster, he barely had taken on a charge of vaguely, the gave his name as David Smith, 17-year-old Negro "from Arkansas." He had come to New York a week ago, couldn't find work, had no place to live, and thought no one would him making a cave which to spend the Winter. He didn't mean to frighten anyone, he said, his nocturnal excursions being only for food and exercise. He worked at odd jobs he said, and was looking for a steady job. He consoled, its door, and the light within, and even the burlap bags on which he slept at night. ANTI-LYNCH LAW PASSES VIRGINIA SENATE, 32 TO 9 Gov.

Alleged 'Bossism' Of Republican Leaders In 19th and 21st A. D. Stirring Negro Voters To Wr Announcements in the daily papers that Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal and Robert Conklin Republican leaders in the 19th and 21st Assembly Districts, respectively, had agreed upon naming the Rev. Richard M. Bolden as delegate to the Republican National Convention, has aroused considerable speculation among Negro members of the County Committee from those districts, who declare that they have not been consulted in the matter of selecting the delegate. The Rev. Mr. Bolden, chief pastor of First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, one of the best known Negro ministers in Harlem and once a candidate for the Assembly, is not objected to personally, but race members of the Committee are outspoken in expressing determination rid of bossiness by the Negro leaders and referee quietly to submit to discrimination in the matter of distribution of party patronage. Democrat; for Alderman Board, were practically the same. Unified by Whites. It is generally believed that was a result of trading between the white captains in those tribes, on the basis of a vote on winning a vote in Grenthal, and for a report, well authenticated, is that in at least one instance a man was put on a weekly staircase by a Republican and sent into Grenhal the Bone · Members of the County Committee declare that the naming of Mr. Bolden is being done by Leader Greenthal alone, as Conklin thinks his district is quiet and satisfied and he has agreed to lee Greenthal have the setting of the matter. Greenthal votes of the 19th to indignation, as a tabulated survey of the east in the last election shows plainly that the election of Fred R. Moore to the Board of Aldermen of New York City was accomplished almost entirely by the Negro vote. An analysis of the vote that shows the district where the whites are in the majority, the vote for Greenthal, Republican, for Assembly, and Master- WEALTHY HARLEM REALTOR AND WIFE NOW RECONCILED Mrs. Anna Francis Drops Action For Separation From Husband According to Abram B. Freedman, counsellor at law with offices at 41 Park Row, a reconciliation has been effected between Mrs. Anna Francis and her husband, Simeon A. Franck, a broker, who was recently ordered to pay. $150 per week alimony and $1,000 counsel fees pending suit for separation. Mr. Freedman's letter is a 45 follows: Editor The New York Age: In a recent issue of your newspaper, you published a report that in an action in the Supreme Court, brought by Anna Francis against Simon Francis, who is engaged real estate position in the firm, for a separation, an order was made, directing defendant to pay to his wife alimony at the rate of $150.00 per week, and a counsel fee to her attorney in the sum of $1,000. Permit me, as the defendant's attorney, to inform you that said Order directing the payment of said alimony by default, due to the inadvertence on the part of the defendant, in appearing in opposition thereto, and that the 9th instant, upon the defendant's application, an Order was made by Mr. Justice Deleghant of the New York - Supreme Court, vacating Order for alimony and course fee and restoring the application on the Motton calendar for the 16th instant. May I also advise you that the plaintiff and defendant have at all times been and still are living together with their child at their residence, 62 West 119th street, New York, City, apparently in perfect harmony and accord, and the action that was brought appears to have been the wife received. I will advise that the wife had received. Very truly yours, ABRAM B. FREEDMAN It is generally believed that Moore was a result of trading between the white captains in those districts, on the basis of a vote for Masterson winning a vote for Grenzal, and vice versa. Another report, well authenticated, is that in at least one instance a coloured man was a Republican on a weekly stipend, and these districts to tell the Republican voters that Moore did not have a chance and it would be less to vote for him. To lend weight to this charge the voting in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 17th and 19th election districts in which Masterson had a majority over Moore, showed that Grenzal would prevail with the majority over Hall his New Denmark opponent for the Assembly. And in the 18th and 24th election districts where the Negro vote is of larger proportion, Masterson's was vote cut down more nearly to a party with Moore's. Comparing The Vote. As a result, in the districts of the 19th Assembly District incorporated in the Aldermann district the majority over Hall was 2,135 while in the Walsh was only 470. This represented the vote in thirty districts, located in the 19th Assembly District. But by comparison, from eight Aldermann election districts, located in the 19th Assembly District, the plurality twice as much, giving him a total majority of 1,315. Another comparison shows that in the thirty-two election districts of the 19th Assembly District, and the eight districts from the 18th, the plurality for Malvern was more evenly balanced. Judges Davies and Crane, Republicans, were given 4,739 and 4,730 respectively, in the 19th, and 1,442 and 1,344 in the 13th, as against 1,848 in the 19th, and 709 and 770 in the foray for Democratic opponents, Lewis and Sullivan. This indicates clearly that while the white Republicans split their ballots to defeat the Negro Reverend Sammy, the same intact for the white Republicans. Aud, on the other hand, that Negro Republicans in their election districts, were loyal and trust to the party ticket, notwithstanding Democratic candidate, for the Assembly was a Negro, Attorney George E. Hall. Neglecta Negro Alderman It is remarked that since the election, Leuder Grader Hall appears to have neglected consulting Alderman Moore put his foot down derman Moore. One reason given is that Alderman Moore put his foot down on the curvassing of his district by political workers for the tickets and advertising space. One contribution of special favors desired or to be gotten. The Alderman insisted that taking care of the interest of his clients did not involve requiring them to contribute to this or that proposition, under practical compulsion, but the leader, it is said, though there was no reason why it should not be done. Under the previous party leader, party patronage was fairly evenly distributed, including the employing a Good girl secretary of the Assembly leadership. Under the present董事man's secretary is a white girl. Negro Republicans will make a determined fight for Negro leadership. Under the previous party patronage was distributed, including the secretary to the Assemblyman, present leadership, his man's secretary is a Negro Republicans determined fight for office. Brooklyn Lawyer Charged By Woman Client With Unethical Practices In Letter To Brooklyn Bar Association Following closely upon the successful termination of her suit to recover from Attorney Samuel F. Edmead of 531 Classon Avenue the sum of $675, with interest and court coats, a loan she made to him in February 21, 1923, Mrs. Florence Charlton Woodson of 405 Cumberland street has filed formal complaint with Mortimer Beyer, chairman of the Brooklyn Bar Association, 123 Remsen street, charging Attorney Edmead with unethical dealings. The complaint is based on a transaction in which Mrs. Woodson and her sister, Dr. Emily Charlton, purchased jointly the property at 392 Cumberland street from the administrators of the estate of Hannah E. Taylor, deceased, Wiley G. Overton and Lotter Green, being represented in the matter by Attorney Edmead. Alcidian Club Gives Fifth Annual Dance The Alcidian Club, Inc., one of the largest social clubs in New York City, gave their fifth pre-ten In a letter addressby Mrs. Woodson to the Bar Association, she charges Mr. Edmead with take-representations and with having so manipulated the trade as to increase the cost of the property by $3,500 more than was first agreed upon. In a recital of the trade, Mrs. Woodson stries that she paid Mr. Woodson $100 on March 31, 1923, he be applied to the Cumberland street property, and that in return for services preponially rendered to him by her, the attorney agreed to act as her attorney, without charge, and in addition would pay all charges for negotiating mortgages on the property, the gross cost to Mrs. Woodson, and Dr. Charlton to be $7,500 $1500 Added To Cost. Instead of this being the price, however, Mrs. Woodson sets forth that Edmund placed two mortgages, a first at $4,500, and a second at $3,500, totalling $8,000, which, with the $1,000 cash she had given him, made the property cost $9,000. In addition, she had taken possession of the property should have been given the sisters on December 26, 1926, but that it was four months later, April 28, 1927, that this was done, and there is a claim for $400 for the four month's rent: In September, 1927, Mrs. Woodson filed suit for the recovery of the $675 lined to Edmund, but in his answer the lawyer denied the collection and set on a counterclaim for $1,000 which he declared he had changed at her special interest and the charge of the Cumberland street property. But on September 12, when the case was called, judgment was tendered by default in favor of Mrs. Woodson. As told in the Age last week Mrs. Edmead went before Justice Fish on January 13 1928 and requesta t a reenforcement of this case, which was granted on condition that a surety bond for $1,000 be posted to protect Mrs. Woodson's interests. The case came to trial on January 28 and Justice Farrar decided in Mrs. Woodson's favor, with taxable rots and subure- mentary costs. 1929.92.92.92. dismissed Edmead's claim, which he had previously reduced to $420 Witness Had Record. Mrs. Woodson, continuing in her letter to the Bar Association, says that after this decision was given, Edmead sought and was given the privilege of having two more of his witnesses testify. One of these witnesses, George W. Kirk, who formerly occupied desk room at Edmead's office, and she charges Edmead with having "framed" Atkins' testimony. The letter cited Atkins' record, showing that he had been arrested five times, once convicted of grand larceny, with sentence suspended for two years. Mrs. Woodson was represented by Rufus L. Perry of 375 Fulton street, and she sets forth that Mr. Perry made several demands upon the surety company for payment of the judgment that he was not forthcoming until a summons and complaint had been served. The further charge is made that in trial of the suit for recovery of the loan, Mr. Edmeed offered Akins' testimony in an effort to prove that he, Edmeed, was not for the benefit of Woodson in the reality transaction, but had acted as attorney for the sellers, and she charges that if that had been the case she should have been informed, as he could not honestly serve both parties. The entire matter is submitted to the Bar Association for such action as that body may see fit for it in connection with its in connection, that Attorney Edmead was suspended some time ago for a period of one year from the practice of his profession.

McCallis ter, Mr. and Mrs, Walter Scott, F. M Rose, Miss Marion Nover Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Shackelford VITAMINES For proper growth a child needs to receive some of all classes of foods. These are the starches and sugars (called carbohydrates), the meat-like foods (called proteins), fats, minerals, water, and vitamins. Of the last class there are four to which we wish to call your attention. VITAMINE A-Animals who are deprived of this food suffer from a characteristic disease of the eye. There is a retardation of growth and a gradual loss of weight and strength, and they may appear, the child is more susceptible to coughs and colds and disturbances of the skin. The lack of this vitamine increases the child's tendency to contract tuberculosis. We know, too, that children who receive liberal supply of this vitamine may be vigorous. It was discovered that this vitamine is found dissolved in the fat of foods and so was called 'fat soluble A' vitamine. This food is found in cod-liver oil, yolk of eggs, butter, milk the fatty portions of the internal organs of animals, such as the skin, leafy portions of green vegetables. Cod-liver oil contains more of this vitamine than any other food. One ounce of this oil is about equivalent in vitamin A content to six pounds of butter, or 38 quarts of milk or dozen eggs, or about one ounce of cod-liver oil so all children from three, months, of age on- Vitamine D—I am discussing this vitamine next because it is the one which aids in the prevention of rickets, and because it was for some time confused with Vitamine K, also because it found in abundance in cod-liver oil. It has been shown that, there is a close relationship between this vitamine and sunlight (ultra-violent rays). For this reason cod-liver oil has frequently been referred to as "bottled sunshine." As the ultra-violent rays are less abundant in prevention and cure of rickets, and as these rays are less abundant in the sunshine and skyshine during the winter months, we advise giving Table No. 15 Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Michel, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

It has been shown that pregnant mothers who are fed cod-liver oil process offspring of the milk, milk has a higher anti-rachitic value. Cocanaut oil has more vitamine D, than cod-liver oil, it is possible to make some foods anti-rachitic by exposing them to the ultra-violet rays of the mercury-vapor lamp. Infants who have had rickets in the first year it is in the second year, it seems that about three-sourths of the infants in the temperate zone have rickets. Therefore the importance of giving cod-liver oil. VITAMINE B—This is known as the "water-soluble vitamin". It is the nervous system called beri-beri. There is also a disturbance in growth, nutrition, disorders of the stomach and intestines, and probably also derangement of the glands of internal secretion. Vitamine B is found in yeast, seeds of plants, eggs and milk, and milk extracts (sweet-bread); also in potatoes, turmets and carrots. Vitamine C—The absence of vitamine C produces the condition known as scurvy. In this case the child has bloody, spongy gums and hemorrhages of the bones and in the joints, and hemorrhagic discolorations of the skin, all of which may even pain the child. The so-called discourager proper eating and this in turn affects the nutrition. Because the infant lies with the legs drawn up and they are painful to touch the case is sometimes treated for rheumatism. The age of the child is a clue in the differentiation, scurvy and during the first two years, during which the child is rare. But even scurvy is rare nowadays, for mothers are learning to give the baby orange juice or the juice of canned tomatoe. Vitamine C is found also in lemon juice green vegetables, such as spinach and lettuce, and in eggs and raw milk that has been pasteurized or condensed milk unless they have velope scurvy unless they receive orange juice or one of the antiscorbutic foods also.

Attorney Tuttle, in the first big case he has handled, exclusively, was opposed by Congressman Nathan D. Perlman, who the defense attorney. The defendant in the case was David Jroebson, who was charged with illegally withdrawing goods from Bishop's Bonded Warehouse without paying the United States the dues for them. The goods were secretly removed just before that warehouse had been destroyed by fire on June 24 last. The trial began February 6 and lasted for one week. After deliberating six hours, the jury returned and announced they were hopelessly deadlocked. Judge George P. Morris, who should have been them to be burglarized further, but they are unbie to agree and are discharged. Although the jury disreserved, and there was neither a conviction nor an acquittal, the staff of the United States Attorney's office congratulated Mr. Delany on his handling of the case. They consider it a moral victory government action—a amount of monetary invested was small and the penalty in case of conviction would have been a sentence to Atlanta prison, which fact probably caused the jury to dread-flow. The case is expected to be tried in the near future. Congressman Perlm, who opposed Mr. Delany was associated in the practice of law with United States Attorney Robert F.

BURROUNDINGS te Prices Many Complaints Indicate That Illegal Means Are Used By Stores and Officers In Seizing and Retaking Goods Nearly Paid For During recent months the New York Age has received numerous complaints from people who have bought furniture, clothing, and other commodities from firms that sell on the installment plan, charging that many of these houses, after the major portion of the account has been paid, take advantage of any lapse in punctuality in making payments to retake the goods, resorting even to illegal methods in doing so. Sales of furniture are estimated to total about $7,500,000 annually with about $1,000,000 for women's clothing. Business School Make Charge of Prejudice It is said to be a notorious fact that goods are charged at exorbitate rates to begin with, the profits amounting in some instances to one hundred per cent, but the charge is made that regardless of the amount paid in, the buyers are forced to stand, the loss of both money and goods if there is the slightest dereliction in paying, regardless of the cause of such default. Sickness, loss of employment, even death itself, have not served to prevent drastic action on part of the installment agenecie. Lost More Than $3,000. One Harlem woman bought furniture from one of these houses to the amount of about $3,500, and and paid more than $3,000 on the account, when family misfortunes depleted her means. Her monthly payments were $50; she could only raise $22, but this was refused by the store, the manager of which demanded a full payment of $50. And when the woman was unable to make the full payment, marshals were sent to her home and every stick of furniture taken out. In no case was there any allowance or rebate for monies paid on furniture which was seized. Another case is reported of a family not being able to meet payment on household furniture because of the serious illness of a young child. There was no leniency shown, however, the store sending officers to the house who took the sick child's bed, from under her, leaving the patient on a pallet on the floor. As in the other case, the major portion of the bill had been paid, the balance being less than one-tenth the entire amount. Smashed In Doors. Other stories are told of instances where officers have found the debtors away from home and have deliberately smashed in the doors to win entrance and take away the goods. A few of the larger establishments have made a reputation for fair treatment of their customers and liberality in time of need. The people themselves, in their ignorance of the law, are said to have permitted illegal seizures of their goods, not knowing that they had a remedy in court. Legal advice is to the effect that the buyers equity cannot be entirely eliminated through seizure, and that application to the Municipal Court will bring quick relief.

Stowell, personnel director, of 200 Fifth avenue, towards the employment of Negro stenographers, or office workers, is indicated in communications which passed between Stowell and the Braithwaite Business School, in which Stowell, referring to the rejection of a colored girl sent to him in response to a telphonic request, wrote that "the fact remains it would not have been wise to have given her employment in an office where exclusively white girls are employed." Stowell also deprecated a charge of bigotry made in a letter he had received from the school, to which his letter was irreply, and cited "the work we are doing with the colored boy of America" as an "outstanding example of our attitude." I Newton Braithwaite, principal of the school, in his reply, however, emphasized the fact that Stowell's attitude was not only "anomolous" but "ridiculous;" that colored and white girls worked side by side in many offices, both public and private, in perfect amity and accord and that in all the schools of New York City this same association obtains throughout their entire school life. Notwithstanding what Stowell refers to in the Boy Scouts work among colored as an "outstanding example," Mr. Braithwaite declares that the flat reluctant to employ a colored girl in the Boy Scouts office raises the question as to the colored people can be consistently asked to support the movement, financially or otherwise.

Washington Meeting For Livingstone College Washington D C—An enthusiastic audience that comfortably filled the spacious auditorium of John Wesley A M. E. Zion Church assembled Monday night, February 2 at the educational mass meeting in behalf of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N C. Seated on the platform were Bishop J S Caldwell, Dr. W. K. Matthews, the missionary secretary; Pressing, Elder J H. Tucker; Rev H. T Medford, Rev C. C. Williams, Rev E. B. Watson, Rev W. D. Battle and Rev A. Clayton Powell of New York. Bishop J S. Caldwell senior bishop of the A M E. Zion Church presided. Miss Nannie Burroughs said, 'Take your Bible and all the things that you enjoy, they came out of toil and struggle and sacrifice. The Jubilee songs come out of the hearts of an oppressed people longing for freedom You ought not to despise them. There is not a contribution to American civilization that is finer than the songs of the slaves. Men like the blind Milton and the legend Dante who have been the world's greatest benefactors, like our Saviour, were acquainted with sorrows and griefs. The people who lead in the vanguard, in civilization, in ideas and ideas paid the price in blood and tears. "We need educational institutions that will teach the value of the world's contributions. The time is coming when men will tell of you not in terms of what you have, but in terms of what you are. We are training students now not for salaries, but for service. This race of ours in education is no more the texture of its hair, but will go forward and make its contribution to civilization." Bishop Caldwell then said "I have been carried away. This orator has so lifted me up, so inspired me, so enthused me, so informed me. that I am filled to overflowing" Bishop Caldwell then introduced Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City. Dr Powell said, "We are going so fast towards racial unity and Christian solidarity that it makes our heads swim. We must lay aside our petty denominational fidelity and stand together for the things worthwhile. An old colored man who saw three colored bishops in the church for a big celebration said, "I'm riding." When one Negra church, college, bank or business concern rises, we all rise." Bishop J. S. Caldwell said that there was $100,000 waiting for Livingstone College if the colored people did their share and meet the conditions. The bishop announced that a mass meeting for Livingstone in Philadelphia, Pa., on March 6, and a mass meeting, New York City, later on in March. Over four hundred dollars, it was raised in the drive Margetson and Still Get Music Awards In New York Meeting A press release from the office of Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, shows that presentations of the recent Harmon-awards were made to successful candidates in nine cities on Sunday, February 12, which was not only Lincoln's Birthday, but was also observed as Race Relations Sunday. In New York City, exercises were held at Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor at 3 p.m. with about 1,000 persons of both races in attendance. While four awards were made to New Yorkers, only two were present for the occasion, both being second awards for musical achievement, made to Edward H. Margetson and William Grant Still. The first and second awards in literature, to James Weldon Johnson and Eric Walrond, respectively, were delivered to Mr. Johnson in' Boston at Ford Hall Forum, which had requested the function, and Walrond in Chicago in connection with a first award of William Anthony Overton for business and a special gold medal for art to William Edouard Scott.

Atlanta University's Pageant In Hartford At a fellowship service last Sunday in Hartford, Coun. under the auspices of the Y W. C. A. and cooperating churches and organizations Atlanta University presented its pageant. The Open Door, to an audience that crowded the Central Baptist Church, one of the largest and finest churches in the city, to the doors. Five hundred people were termed away. This is the second time the pageant has been given in Hartford, but the appreciation was even greater than the first appearance. The cast was seemingly perfect in its acting and the choral work under Mr. Warner Lawson and the solos by Mrs. R Augustus Lawson left very few dry eyes in the audience after the spirituals were sung. Professor George A. Towns made an appeal for Atlanta University.

Public Health work for and by the Negro population has suffered from the lack of information that would give a true picture of the disease problems to be attacked. This lack of information has been the chiefly to the fact that until recent the Southern States, where the greatest burden of the Negro population lives, have not developed their statistics of health willing admit them to the U. S. Death Registration Area. Within the last few years however, the vital statistics of most of the Southern States have attained this standard, and a mass of facts has now accumulated relating to the cause of death among Negroes as compared with whites in the same general geographical environment. The statistics are available for the most part in the annual mortality statistics volumes of the U. S. Bureau of the Census and in reports of State and local health departments, but Negro as well as other sanitarians have realized the desirability, of collecting these annual statistics in such a form as to make them easily available to those who are interested in public health work Mortality Bulletin. Accordingly, at the suggestion of several Negro sanitizers and others, the Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service authorized the office of Statistical Investigations to prepare a brief bulletin on mortality among Negroes. This bulletin has been completed under the title of "Mortality Among Negroes of the United States" (Public Health Bulletin No. 174), and was written by Assistant Statistician Mary Gover, Sc. D., with a brief introduction by Edgar Sydenstricker, statistician in charge of statistical investigations. It contains in concise form a large amount of information about white and colored populations, including the distribution of these populations in different States, the extent to which they live in cities and in rural sections, the rate at which the white and colored populations are increasing; the birth rates of the two races; the mortality rate among whites and Negroes in States; and in rural areas as well as by States; the changes in the "expectation of life" in the two races in recent years; the mortality from important causes with special reference to pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, organic heart and acute nephritis and Bright's disease, cancer, and infections diseases; the trend of mortality from all causes and from different causes in certain States and localities where statistics covering a considerable period of time are available; and the infant mortality rate in white and colored populations. The bulletin is illustrated by 33 diagrams, and contains 21 tables, the text being written in a simple style. For Free Distribution A limited number of copies will be distributed free of cost to persons engaged in public health and allied activities, and to organizations and institutions to which the bulletin will be of service. Copies will be given to persons already on the official mailing list, to known addresses of interested persons, and to others making request on the J. S. Public Health Service, until the free copies are exhausted. Other copies may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C, for 15 cents; ask for Public Health Bulletin No. 174, entitled "MORTALITY AMONG NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES" and enclose the cost of the bulletin with your order and mail direct to the Government Printing Office. Personally I would appreciate your cooperation not only in making distribution of this bulletin effective, but also in making known and in using the vital information which this publication contains for furthering the health of the Negro population.

In these years the increasing cost of death engaged the attention of politicists and aroused the wrath of private consumers. More recently the cost of dying has become a great concern to charitable and social and industrial insurance companies. An investigation of the entire industry was undertaken two years under the auspices of one of our insurance companies, for the purpose of protecting its policy holders, travagance and exploitation. The action was conducted by an ad-committee consisting of forty clergymen, physicians, lawyers, workers, journalists and funeral report made public by the com- pet forth some interesting figures the costs of burial, varying in dif- ferentialities. Some of these compari- nies were published as follows in an ar- ticle the New York World. It costs on the average $210 more to be in New York State than in North River, and it costs $80 more to be buried in Jersey than it does in New York. The average cost of burial in various cities is the same interesting variation. Work, N. J., is the most expensive city which to die, the average cost of burial being $493. Figures for other cities Philadelphia, $483; New York City, Cleveland, $403; Detroit, $392; Chicago, St. Louis, $451; Baltimore, $249; Louis- ville, $238, and Nashville, Tenn., $233. In the States, New Jersey tops the New York is fifth and North Carolina with average costs of $484, $104 and respectively. His costs on the average $210 more to be in New York. York State than in North Carolina, and it costs $80 more to be buried in New Jersey than it does in New York. The average cost of burial in various cities shows the same interesting variation. New York, N.J., is the most expensive city did the average cost of burial exceed $93. Figure for Philadelphia, $483; New York City, Cleveland, $403; Detroit, $392; Chicago, Louis, $351; Baltimore, $249; Louisville, $238, and Nashville, Tenn., $233. The States, New Jersey tops the New York is fifth and North Carolina with average costs of $484, $104 and respectively. the figures were based on the ex-cession of over fifteen thousand funerals obtained from various sources. In smaller the estate left by the de-tenant the greater was the proportion raised by funeral expenses. In Manstad Brooklyn over fifty per cent. the estates totaking less than one hundred dollars went to defray burial expenses. Among the racial groups represented by over three hundred widows inspired to the New York Board of the Welfare for relief, it was found that the Irish led in the amount expenditure funerals, with the Italians second the Jews, the lowest of all, due to simplicity of their burial rites. the increase of burial costs during the twenty-five years was attributed to policy adopted by casket manufacture and undertakers of pushing the higher priced goods and more private funerals. The conclusion arrived by the committee was "that prices can never be greatly low, until the volume of business, which is by the death rate, is concentrat- tive hands." cussing this subject; the Rev. Charleston Powell, pastor of Abyssinia Church, recently called upon his congregation to join in a campaign burrying too much money in the land. He advocated the cutting in the funeral expenses, declaring that members of his church are putting fifty thousand dollars under every year when twenty-five would amply cover the cost of burial. He maintained that American Negroes have wasted enough money in showoff funerals in the last fifty years to build and stock a huge monument store in every city in the states where there are fifty thousand numbers of the race. And then would have enough money left to the salaries of a thousand clerks for year. murdering this subject; the Rev. Newton Powell, pastor of Abyssinia Church, recently called upon his invitation to join in a campaign burying too much money in the land. He advocated the cutting in federal expenses, declaring that members of his church are putting fifty thousand dollars under every year when twenty-five would amply cover the cost of burial. He maintained that American Negroes have wasted enough money in showoff funerals in the last fifty years to build and stock a huge cement store in every city in the states where there are fifty thousand members of the race. And then would have enough money left to the salaries of a thousand clerks for year. may all be true, but so long as exhibition of funeral display is relied upon from a sentimental standpoint, it ought to be hard to restrain the existence of the bereaved survivors, to public and the press must preach such moderation in this matter of active display. The funeral directors must always to blame for undue exhance, in this regard, as they often to restrain those of the small estate in fashion. If other ministers would have a similar campaign to that of the Dr. Powell, much good night. The high cost of dying should FINDING OUT THE FACTS The publication of the report of the findings of the recent conference held at Durham, N. C., last December, shows that there are a number of things out of joint in this country. To begin with, disfranchisement is not only the lot of the Negro in the South, but it obtains in the case of three out of four Americans of voting age. And many of these disfranchise themselves. At any rate that is one of the findings reported. The worst situation is in the South, where although the population has doubled in the last fifty years, the number of voters has not increased, despite woman suffrage. The education of the American Negro is still pronounced to be without a guiding policy. Provision for the common schools is known to be inadequate, in respect to housing, teaching and supervision. The high schools are few in number and opportunity for higher training is limited. While we hear of increased appropriations for higher training in North Carolina, West Virginia and even in Georgia, the report does not seem to consider that the additions made in this way relieve the situation to any extent worth mentioning. In the matter of work and wages, the necessity for collective bargaining through real trade unions is insisted upon as the only proven method of bettering working conditions and raising wages. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, is named as an excellent example of effort toward this end. The American Federation of Labor is held at fault in presenting no effective plan for recruiting Negroes into the labor movement, thus leaving them to be used as tools by the employers, both in company unions and as strike breakers. Negro business is found to have reached a critical stage. Like all small groups and individual enterprises, it is at the mercy of great combinations and concentrated capital. It is difficult to raise sufficient capital from poor people and to safely invest the funds of banks and insurance companies. It has to guard against the indifference and enmity of white competitors and against incompetency, greed and dishonesty within its own ranks. Despite these drawbacks its development has been extraordinary. Farmers and servants are found to need protection from peonage and exploitation, and they lack organization for collective bargaining. Oppressive tenancy laws, unjust mortgage systems and price manipulation are practiced against the farmer, white poor housing, low wages and long hours are said to be driving away the best servants. The greatest chance for economic uplift and independence is seen in the fact that the Negro has just begun to cater to his own wants. Negro patronage of Negro enterprises is pronounced his greatest weapon of industrial and business offense. Migration is charged with a serious disruption of family life, in which housing conditions have played a part. Periodic unemployment, poverty and bad social environment are charged with causing a disproportionate amount of crime. Relief for these conditions is beginning to be supplied by group action up to the limit of its ability. The problems facing the churches are pronounced difficult, including the questions of poverty, relief, social uplift, recreation and education. The strength of the church is seen in its function as a forum of discussion, its support of education, a center of social work and its widespread social leadership. Its most serious weakness is charged to be its neglect of intelligent developing youth. A plea for Negro youth concludes the report, in which modern environment is charged with affecting the situation in calling for increased student government in colleges, freedom from religious dogma, and encouragement by means of scholarships and financial aid in education. It is held that youth should be called more freely into conference with its elders and listened to seriously, as they do not learn the point of view and experience of the older generation. These facts are not entirely new, but they have been assembled succinctly and in a way that they may be readily assimilated and studied. There is a remedy for all the ills complained of, but the problem will be to apply it and to obtain effective support from the people themselves in keeping up the treatment. TO ENCOURAGE MILITARISM The news that a group of former army officers have formed a club with the avowed purpose of bettering the position of Negro youth in the military world, is an interesting indication of an opposing force to pacifism. Still, if there are to be leagues and circles for the promotion And if this country becomes involved in another armed conflict, it is only too certain that the Negro youth will be called upon to do his share—and then some. So far as this organization is concerned, it might use its influence to secure equal opportunity for colored youth in the military training camps, instituted by a paternal government, and to obtain the appointment of an adequate number of our youth to the National Military Academy at West Point. They might also be encouraged to enroll in the national guard of those states where it is possible, so as to obtain the benefits of military discipline and athletic training. Membership in a crack regiment like the Old Fifteenth of New York has done wonders for some of the men who have joined it, in the way of improving their physique and general bearing. Among the organizers of this club there seemed to be an impression that little history had been compiled concerning the achievements of the Negro in the army, and of the opportunities offered in a military career. The literature on this subject may not be as extensive as might be desired, but the narrative of the military exploits of the race in this country has been recounted by several writers, from the revolt of the American colonies against British rule to the participation of the American Expeditionary Forces in the World War. While some of the earlier books may be out of print, the later ones can still be had or consulted in most public libraries. Some of the titles are: Colored Patriots of the Revolution, Wm. C. Nell. History of the Black Phalanx, Col. Joseph T. Wilson. Colored Regulars in the United States Army, Chaplain T. G. Stewart. Under Fire with the Tenth Cavalry, H. V. Cashin and others. Col. George W. Williams in his History of the Negro Race dealt at some length with the employment of Negroes in military service from the time of the American Revolution to the Civil War between the States. Dr. Emmett J. Scott is the author of an authoritative account of the important part-played by the race in the World War. Richard Harding Davis and other war correspondents referred to the manner in which the colored regulars conducted thenselves in the Cuban campaign, so enough material can be had from various sources to establish the position of the black men as a military asset. General Benjamin Butler hit the mark, when he asserted in the halls of Congress, nearly half a century ago, that "the colored troops fought nobly." Nobody can-better that verdict, from one who had commanded them in battle. How the opportunities presented by army life can be utilized to the best advantage can probably be set forth in appropriate terms by the former soldiers who have formed this club. LEADERSHIP OR BOSSISM When local political leadership threatens to degenerate into petty bossism, arrogant in its ruling and indifferent to the sentiment of the voters, there is danger ahead for the party that tolerates such conditions. It is a long time since the Republican party in New York State acknowledged a leader who exerted the authority of a boss, and that leader was so discreet in wielding that power, that he was popularly known as "the Easy Boss." But great changes have come to pass since Senator Platt was the boss of the Republican party. Bossism has become unpopular and the voters will be led only by men of their choice, who truly represent them. This sentiment obtains among voters of all classes and races, and the Negro voters of Harlem are as thoroughly imbued with this spirit as any other group. They are bound to resent a leadership which ignores their wishes and fails to deal with them on a fair basis of representation, especially when it is kept in office through their votes. The time has come when a leadership which does not represent the best interests of ninety per cent, of the voters cannot continue to function without their support. Such leadership is worthless to the party as to the voters, as it only tends to breed dissatisfaction and resentment. The proper course would be to recall or remove a leadership of this sort and substitute a real leadership from within the group, that would have its base in genuine representation of the voters. This is the situation confronting the voters of the Nineteenth and Twenty-first assembly districts, in which there is an overwhelming majority of Negro voters. The district leaders who owe their positions to these voters, view that support as giving them license to boss and THE AGE READERS' FORUM importantly in our consideration of any kind. They regard it as beneath their dignity to consult with the voters who put them in power, and who helped to roll up a party majority at the polls. Their attitude is absolutely that of a boss, not a leader chosen by the people. It is up to the Negro voters of Harlem to change this sort of bossism and to name a leader from their own group who will be responsive to their demands and suggestions. The change should be Editor of The New York Age: I rate with some amusement, a John Doe article in the issue of February 18. I wish to recall some of his statements to show the ignorance of some, and the insincerity of others, who are following the Randolph movement. John says he believes we ought to have a union. He further says we must let some outsider unionize us, and still goes on to say that we can't or don't always agree with said outsider's plans, or, rather, that the outsider don't always express our views, and may I add for him that he don't dare to straighten the outsider up because that would expose his hand. Well, John Doe goes on to say that the Pulman Goe is, not the worse corporation in the world to work for, and that it would be bad to adjust things to the satisfaction of all concerned. I would advise Mr. Doc to say something or shut up. I say in his time was matched with Porter Ford's, he might rank him in point of service, which means he must have been treated pretty fairly, or he would not have have stayed so long. He says he has the courage to speak these things, but can't afford to give his name (some courage, John I should like to say to John and his leaders that there are porters in the service (of whom I am one) who want our job) unmolested, and John would show more courage if he would retire or quit, when he gets tired working, or, when he has been mistreated, go to the proper source of relief and tell his name and troubles. I have no fight with the Pullman Co., nor for them with someone else, but I have a fight with anybody who interferes with my business when the same doesn't concern The Permanent Co. needs no defence from Ford nor myself, for they have directed the forces that have brought them thus far. What Ford is trying to do, I think, and what I am doing, I know, is to protect my own interest and to awaken those who blindly follow the blind into a hit front which they have no way to extricate themselves. If John and others think this cause just, why don't they come on out and fight in the open. Don't they believe that virtue caries their own reward. The worse the company could do would be to discharge you, and who would not sacrifice a job for a cause so noble? No, they prefer the dark because their deeds are evil. There is nothing so misleading as educated ignorance, and there is nothing so destructive as dumb courage. It might interest Mr. Doe to know that I have requested the Pullman Co. not to take any further action against the porter until they call for a show-down and find out who is who and if any plan materializes. John, you may have to lay your cards on the table. Labor and Capital must at all labor preferer not or at all Labor has its rights, which Capital must respect, since the abolition of slavery, and in turn Capital also has rights which must not be ignored. You can work if you want to or go hungry, if you please. The capitalist can invest his money if he wants to or he can keep it in his pocket and avoid the income taxation. Men dissatisfied ought to quit, men who think conditions could be bettered ought to find the remedy and present it. Men who have gotten through ought to get another job. Men who have retired ought to give their fellows a chance, and men who have been let go all except to make trouble) ought to attend to their own business and leave mine alone. Sure this looks like working in the interest of the company, and why not? They pay me a small wage to look out for their interest, while I use their job to make a living, and when I think I can do better somewhere else than I can here, they may return the compliment. I won't work, for a man when I have to work against his interest and expect him to pay me for doing the same, and I won't say anything behind a man's back that I am afraid to repeat to his face, and any man who does is a coward. Let this fight be called out in the open. Then it is the union wins, let them do so like men and women, and if they lose, let them be heroes to the cause they were loyal to. I hate a coward as badly as hell. I won't shoot from behind unless the enemy runs and I won't shoot in the back the man that feeds me. If I must fight him I'll quit him and declare war, and may "God help Porter Ford, and some more like him to speak for themselves, and stop bemudled by the American Federation of Labor and Mr. Randolph and others, and before my courage fails. I sign your for prosperity. Admires Leadership Editor of The New York Age Let me first congratulate you on the signal victory you have you the party machinery. These voters have been willing to follow the present leaders so long as they were inclined to be fair and deal with their followers on a "fifty-fifty" basis. But the day of political bosses who arrogantly ignore the people they pretend to represent has passed. The Negro voters of Harlem have it in their power to secure real representation in party councils and at the polls, if they will work in concert for that end. for the race. I have always admired you for your outstanding ability and race leadership, but now I admire, honor and love you for the wise stand you have taken on questions affecting the race and especially for the recent achievement you have won for race H. D. DAVIDSON Centreville, Ala. Peddling In Theatres Editor of The New York Age: Kindly allow me space in your paper to mention a condition that I have noticed in the Harlem theaters. As a patron of the Lincoln, Lafayette, and, occasionally, of some of the smaller theaters, I should be happy to see the sale of confections discontinued during the performances. In fact, the practice should be entirely eliminated. Salesmen circulating about the theatre advertising their wares often in objectionably loud voices and the presence of peanut bulls, empty ice cream boxes, candy wrappers and bottles on the floor besides being extremely annoying and distracting are quite out of harmony with the management of affairs in the better class of the theaters in New York and elsewhere. With the great and growing importance of the theatre in public life and the tremendous possibilities for educating the older as well as the younger patrons in the art of refined conduct, and in the appreciation of high-class service and worthwhile entertainment, it seems imperative that serious thought be given to the formulation of a program that will best serve these ends. It cannot be denied that there is a great need for development within our race of a fuller appreciation for worthwhile entertainment and tigh class service. The theatres should seek not only to induce the patron to spend his money and thereby increase their own profits, but they should also give in return for, patronage such service as will help to establish permanent interests in and to place the proper value upon entertainment and service of a higher order. Certainly the contributions of the theatres in Harlem along this line are open to question. W. E. MILEN Yes, Business Editor of The New York Age During the year of 1927, much has been written about our group going into business. It is helped that our editors and special writers will contribute to urge our people into business, and while writing also enterng business, I bank tintely to mention the manufacturing of tools and name rolls. I have been told by some of the other race who are in the retail business that their main support in the lines mentioned come from our group; yet we do not put out any one of them. Furthermore, our writers' artisans nor publishers of music are not getting an even brake from the hands of the manufacturers. Recently one of the managers of the city's largest phonograph company told one of our publishers that the Negro has no grace pride. To prove his statement, he said that "unless you bring me something like 'Shake That' Thing your people would not buy it." It is time for us to be alert. Negro publishers, writers and artists should come together at once for their own benefit. The people who support the businesses in question should be properly informed. I am sure they would be surprised to learn of some of the rotten deals given our group. Not only do we want the best of everything, we need them. Why then do we continue to blake the other fellows 'soft stuff.' If our writers, artists and publishers are to put out the best we have in any kind of music, we must make a place for them. I think that it is time for us to make the start. ALEXANDER SEYMOUR HEALTH IS HERE BY DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association "Dentists today are broadcasting the commonplaces of their knowl- edge in a vast program to rid the public of teeth title" in covering the Chicago Tribune in covering the Chicago Society convention recently. It is true that, up-to-date dentists everywhere are now urging all of us to take care of our teeth, to teat proper food, so that we may have good teeth and to visit the dentist twice a year for prophylactic treatment in order to be sure our teeth are in good condition. They stress the importance of pre In an article entitled, "Bathing Today, and Westward," Dr. Algeron B. Jackson told in the Norfolk Journal and Guide how back in 1842 when the first bathhut was installed in the home of a wealthy manufacturer in Cincinnati, frate physicians denounced its use as dangerous to health. He continued: Do not laugh! It is no cause for resiliency. Remember that when a profession takes itself seriously, nakes certain brave assertions and finds later it was wrong, that profession goes down one peg in the esteem of the way folk it depen- Primitive medicine, "open publicity openly arrived at," and dozens of other innovations, grew to their present stage of public acceptance in spite of some medical opposition. We of this much-bathed generation feel like snickering at the worthy practitioners who took such a determined stand against the lowly bath-tub. As we see things today their was the ignorance of not knowing. In a few decades talks will doubtless be laughing at us for our obtuseness in refusing to accept some of the ideas which are hard to many, but which may become long the accepted of the accepted. Now we have in New York the Cleanliness Institute devoted to broadcasting knowledge regarding the matter of being clean as a fundamental health measure. Dirt and health are opposed to each other just as cleanliness and disease are bitter enemies. This institute accuses no one, shame no one, embarkresses no one, but in lead serves as an honest confidential friend to educate everyone that a clean body, a clean home, and a clean garment, are most liable to give birth to a clean heart, a clean soul, and a clean life. In fact the Cleanliness Institute wants everybody to "Come Clean." And the ancient gibe that bath tubs were only useful as coal boxes or to accommodate extra lodgers is losing its point, although the smaller bootleggers are said to utilize them in compounding booze. Commenting on the visit of America's famous aviator to Port-au-Prince, the Boston Chronicle said: Landbergh has visited Hayti, and most American colored folk will continue to admire him. Remembering that he did not refer in his newspaper dispatch to "the Negro republic": tat nowhere in his dispatch did he make contemptuous reference to black people; and, finally, that he wrote of Hayti just as he did of every other country he has visited, the colored folk will be glad. For to the masses of our people Landbergh is unique among white Americans. He is to them no "ordinary white man". Indeed, to them, he is not white at all, but simply a man. And it is perhaps due to his eminence above evincing common prejudice that he is hero to black boys and white boys the country other Lindbergh has visited Hayti, and we wonder what the United States marines think now. They cannot continue to believe that Haytians hate white men. Lindbergh has flown from Hayti, but marines with fixed bayonets remain. This again calls attention to the fact that the United States Senate has failed to take action on the resolution calling upon the administration to withdraw its armed forces from Haiti. The Cleveland Call and Post voiced the following demand for representation in the national convention which will nominate a candidate for the presidency next summer. It is high time that due recognition be given the large and growing group of Negro adherents of the Republican Party in Ohio. We constitute thus due recognition to mean in connection with presidential primaries that at least one delegate at large and one district delegate be accorded this group by every candidate who files for the Republican nomination. Negro voters have almost without exception voted solidly for the Republican Party ticket, and this loyalty is deserving of the recognition which the Call and Post asks. When a state like New Jersey accords to Negro Republicans, a delegate at large surely it is time for Ohio to do something in this line. ventive dental work rather than elaborate curative work. The relation of mouth health to general health is not, definitely known. But we do know that disease, decayed and poorly repaired teeth have a distinctively bad effect on the health. If they are badly decayed or poorly repaired they under digestion. Food cannot be chewed properly in the mouth and this results digestion when the food reaches' the stomach. Diseased teeth have a far-reaching effect on the health. The poison from them may spread throughout the entire system. Rheumatism, neuralgia, general ill health and many other ailments have been found to be directly traceable to infected teeth. Visit your dentist at least twice a year to have your teeth examined. You should have them cleaned by a dentist or dental hygienist at least every six months to keep them in good condition. If you visit the dentist at regular intervals, he will discover the cavities before they have become very large. The repair work will cost less and hurt less, if it is done while the cavities are small. Brush your teeth at least twice a day—night and morning. It is better still to brush them after every meal. Use a downward slightly rotary motion on the upper tooth and an upward, rotary one on the lower. Republicans of Ohio are to be warned against cataclys, a defection in the ranks of Negro voters. Already considerable sentiment has been aroused in favor of a shift to the Democratic, Party for more favorable consideration. And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Ohio Democrats nikely accord to Negro voters delegates to their national convention in Houston. This is an indication that the voters in Ohio are alive to their responsibilities. They evidently believe that the right to vote carries with it the right to representation in the filing of candidates. The Palmetto Leader, published at Columbia, S. C. records the following reactions to the candidacy of its editor, N. J. Frederick, as a delegate at large to the Republican National Convention: The announcement of Attorney Frederick's candidacy as a delegate at large to the Republican National Convention has caused varied comments. Such a thing has been mired of in Republican circles for the past dozen or more years in this state. Hegetofore, one ambitious o such honor, adopted the plan of bowing down and praying to the powers that be for the favor of being permitted to be placed on his ticket or State and ordering his slaves and dollar-grasping imitations of me to vote for him. Attorney Frederick has observed this thing to his utter disgust and has decided that no longer will he submit to such a demoralizing practice. He believes that there are many other like-minded men. In fact, he knows that there are such. Men of this stamp are giving him much encouragement and support. Sad, however, so long demoralized by what they call "expense money" that they have no pride of race, no manhood, no respect for themselves, hope for their children or the least idea of what its all about. They do not mind brazenly selling themselves out, if only there is a little personal advantage. These fellows don't mind saying, "no independent, aspiring and forward looking Negro has a chance to be ejected unless and until their "boss" gives the word." Referring to Mr. Frederick's chances before the State convention the Charleston People's Recorder said, "it all depends on whether the political beggars have grown some spine in the last four years or not." From which it may be, concluded that the chances are not so good. Commending a movement started to get the ministers of the race to become registered voters, the Savannah Tribune said The efforts to secure a larger registration among the ministers will be watched with a deal of interest. The leaders among them should not waver until the last one of the large number of them is on the list. It would be quite an array to have more than one hundred ministers of this county registered as voters. This large number will then be in a position to lead the way and direct their members to the court house where they can register in order to discharge the franchise granted by the constitution of these United States. It is very opportune that this campaign should be made at this Next November the presidential election takes place. Every citizen should be proud to cast a vote for his choice to occupy the White House for the term after March of 1929, as well as for a candidate for Congress. Along with the efforts of the ministers, others of age to vote should be urged to qualify. There should be on the registration list of this county not less than five thousand voters. It can be done. This is significant as a sign of received interest in the exercise of the suffrage as essential to racial progress. Discussing the growing strength of Secretary Hower as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency, the Baltimore Health and Commonwealth said Secretary Hoover besides being a great administrator, possesses in a high degree the spirit of fair play and justice, and the courage of firmness, if elected president, to see that justice and fair play is extended to all citizens so far as lies within the power of the executive. No Republican, not even the catering Borah, has the slightest chance of carrying in the election this year, any of the former seceding States except Tennessee in which Negroes are not disfranchised. But Hoover's nomination will be an entering wedge to rift the Democratic solid South asunder and will mark the beginning of the end of disfranchisement, which is bound to disappear when two live strong, militant political parties are developed and struggle against each other for supremacy. Present day Republican leaders seem to regard Negro disfranchisement in the South as fixed and permanent so far as the National Government is concerned. Relief must therefore come, if it ever come from the States of the South where it is established. Two contending parties whatever names they assume therefore in those States will afford the Negro the opportunity to allly himself locally with whichever one holds out to him the offer of political enfranchisement. When that offer is made other concessions will follow and we firmly believe that under U.S. president the Solid South will solve and the Negro will come in his own. That is a remarkable conclusion to emanate from such an exporter of politics as Editor Andrew J. may be within the realm of pro-abilities. A Brilliant Service St. Martin's Chapel at 230 Lenox avenue had an auspicious opening last Sunday at its dedication service. More than 700 people attended the service, among whom were noted a number of prominent white members of other Episcopal churches. The chapel was built by the chapel lesson, and Rev. Shelton H. Bishop the second. The dedication was performed by the Rev. De Sunderland, superintendent of the N. Y. P. E. City Mission Society, after which he related the very interesting biography of the famous French soldier, St. Martin, after whom the chapel is named. John H. Johnson, the vicar of St Martin's, then addressed the congregation and outlined the work he hoped to accomplish, and invited all in the vicinity to come and that the hand of welcome would be extended them at all times. After the service a goodly number those present requested that their membership be added to the membership of the chapel. Although this is the first church that Rev. Johnson has had full charge of, his training dates back to the time when he was assistant to his father, the Rev. Wesley Johnson, who organized and for a quarter of a century held the church of Cypress F. E. Church, the church edifice, located on the corner of 122nd street and Lenox avenue, was recently purchased by the New York F. E. City Mission Society, and was formerly occupied by the Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church.

Rakestraw, pastor. 10 a.m. Junior Church—Conducted by the pastor. *The Service*—Subject—"The Bread of Life"—Text, John 6:35. The pastor beautifully illustrated the text, both from the material and spiritual sides, emphasizing bread as a common food, known to all classes of people everywhere, rich, poor, high or low, and found on every table, always in season throughout the winter at the universal bread of Life, which if fully appropriated, will not only nourish the body spiritually, but will be satisfactorily sustained. 2 p.m. Sunday School—A good number turned out, weather being favorable, and a splendid spiritual hour was enjoyed. A few more new members were added to our ever growing list. 4 p. m.—A unique concert was given by the usher board of the Junior Church. The children rendered many beautiful musical selections which were enjoyed by all. The White Rose Industrial Association has celebrated the 31st anniversary of the founding of this Association for the Negro working girls of Harlem. 6 30 p. m.

Dr L. H. King, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, will preach next Sunday morning February 26, at 11 o'clock. It is hoped a large audience will greet First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services, Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the subject: "The power and unfolding God-Consciousness of the Youth of John the Baptist." Pastor Bolden said: Parents as well as prospective parents should give a great deal of thought to their children by thinking of a child not only inherits the qualities and characteristics of the parents, but the environment tends to stamp prenatal influences that affect the habits and thought of their children. We believe it is the duty of parents to have a godly life, because they owe it to their offspring to treat them to a spiritual deposit in their human nature might end in their relation to our Father, God, and their righteous duty to their generation. Parents may learn a great lesson by studying the life of the parents of John the Baptist. Both mother and father were pious and industrious citizens, constant in their attendance at the synagogue, worshipping God, their heavenly Father, were both leaders in the Temple servers, reverent students in the history, the history of the temple and the God's destiny with them. Hence John had a parental background that gave power and force to his childish life and manhood. Though the scriptures tell us that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy.Ghost from his mother's womb, yet a study of his life will show that there was not only effort and eliminate about him. He had traits of being a child of the gods, the hills and the fields. He lived in the "school of nature and closely associated with nature's children. He was fearless, and powerful, he could analyze his mother, and give them the message that this needed. He was a child of God, and he knew it. And he worked toward, that end only. He was a vigorous righteous and active young preacher and teacher, who would not allow flattering invitations and attention to/change his course he declared tat he was a "voice crying in the wilderness," "make straight the way of the Lord," "good grant that the children or to-day may discover their place and position in the program of life and be as constant in duty as John the Baptist. At 2 p. m., the Sunday school was opened. A review of the lesson was given by the pastor. At 4:30 p. m. the S. M. & I Society. W.

In his sermon he told of the work of the League during the past year and of its present efforts to counteract anti-probition influences. A program of distinction was presented by the Lulu Roach who presided. Frank Wilson, who plays the role of "Porgy" in the play of that name made a short talk on "Opportunities For Our Youth." Mr. Wilson said that while he was conceded to be an actor he was also an active church member and president of the Young People's Society of his church. Mr. Perry, also of the "Porgy" cast, offered as a reading "Go Down Death," from J. W. Johnson's "God's Trombones."

Lawson, Pastor, known by his sincere preaching of the gospel of Jesus welcome 5:26 W 133rd Street. "Peace" was the subject of the message Sunday's morning, taken from Roman Sai-11, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and trejoice in hope of the glory of God." Elder Lawson said: This is a very familiar passage of scripture we have before us this morning; but our Lord Jesus Christ has not been discovered by the majority of people in this day. This world is hungering for something, and in hot pursuit after peace: yes, they want this peace spoken of here—but have taken the wrong route to things, such as money clothes and the many things that I could mention that men gather unto themselves in a vain effort to be happy. The so-called pleasures of life—such as drinking, dancing, the theatre, joyriding and seeking the company of God—found in the above mentioned things. But I do say, if there is any one thing that is especially essential in this day of unrest and calamity, it is "PEACE", yea, the peace of God here mentioned. There is a deep settled peace in the man or woman who has the Spirit of God in her mind stayed on the Lord by the true worship that can only be had in the Holy Ghost. Paul here writes of such a one. "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." We-read from the context and find that there was a lack of peace in the majority of the people in the Abrahamic tradition of unbelief and the lack of faith; but Abraham believed God, and it was count- YONKERS MEMORIAL A.

John 10:10. Meeting was wounded, and the power of God manifested in a blessed way. Rush Memorial Church A large number of folk availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing Bishop C. C. Alleyne last Sunday morning at the H'o'clock service. The Bishop recently returned from Africa. His sermon "The Return to Nazareth" Luke 4:16. The Rev. Beng. M. Sturgis preached on "The-Significance of the Doxology" at 3 o'clock, under auspices of the board of trustees. William Haller, chairman, was a faithful worker of Rush delivered the sermon at the evening services. Miss Susie Smith, soprano, was soloist for the day. On Sunday, March 4, Bishop George C Clement, will preach. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church The services at Fleet Street Church on Sunday were of special interest. The morning and evening sermons were held at W. C. Brown, Rev. H. B. Norvillie spoke at the three o'clock service and at that hour many partook of the Lord's Supper. The school sessions convened at the crepuscular hour. Much interest is being manifested in the "Church Anniversary Celebration," February 26 to March 4. On Sunday the pastor will speak and "Memoriame we Build" and "Little Things we Build" on Monday, Rev. Timothy White; Tuesday, Rev. Edward E. Tyler; Wednesday, Rev. R. C. Lawson, New York City; Thursday, Rev. W. J. Hamblin; Friday, Rev. F. C. Julliam; Saturday, Rev. F. C. March 4, at 11 a. m. Bishop George C. Clement, will preach. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "Every day is a day of destiny and of salvation, for life is not safe or assured against the encroachments, victatitudes and afflictions of time, and this applies to young and old, viscissitudes and afflictions of Jesus Christ to convey us through time and eternity we are lost." This was the central thought of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, at the morning hour. The text was St. Luke 24:28-29. That text was treated with a fervent appeal that all becomes so enthused during this season that none will be satisfied until all of the unchucked have been reached and brought to Christ. Four persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. He gave an interesting resume of his "Observations and Impressions" of the recent Bishop's Council which met at Birmingham. Ala. He said that if any real change for the better is to come it must start among the laity for the final analysis the church for power for they support the church The annual Church fair started on Monday night, February 20. App will close Friday night, February 24. Brown Mem. Bapt. Church Three periods of worship and service at the Brown Memorial Baptist Church, Brooklyn, Sunday were well attended and most helpful. Rev. P. W. Phillips, pastor, continues his work with the minors. Sisters are converted and believers without a church home are finding refuge at Brown Memorial. The location of this church at 629 Herkimer street, near Schenectady avenue, and one block from Fulton street, gives it a central position, necessitating additional Additions to the enrollment from the recent revival meetings have been felt for good in many ways. More than forty have been enrolled and others are to be fellowshipped next Sunday at the regular communion service. At the afternoon Sunday, the Mission Circle held an inspiring meeting. Mrs. M. C. Johnson, president, presided. Mrs. Martha Carr, Mrs. Lucy Stokeley, deaconess J. E. Harrison and others took part in the devotional services. The principal speaker was Miss Rebecca J. Carter, missionary of the New England Baptist Sunday School Convention. Berean Baptist Church The Rev. R. F. Lee of Connecticut filled the pulpit of the Berean Baptist Church, Bergen street at Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, Sunday. The attendance was good, considering the snappy cold weather. The Rev. W. Hoggard from the Davis W. Hoggard from accepting the call of the church as its pastor was read and ordered place on the file. Little comment followed the reading of Rev. Hoggard's letter, yet it was apparent that the officials and members were much disappointed. When approached as to what steps the church would take to call a pastor deacon Charles H. Morton, said, "We have no one in mind just now, we will probably take the matter up first in a joint meeting of the deacons and trustees." The Sunday school met at "the usual hour, with superintendent Allen Morton in charge. The attendance was good but we seemed to be inefficient with teachers to cope with the active, ambitions throng of children and youths, Concord Baptist Church At the Concord Church, Sunday Rev. James B. Adams spoke in the morning on "The Inclusiveness of Jesus," from 1 Corinthians 3.21. the service of the Church of England. All services at Concord Sunday were well attended. It was visitation night for the B. Y. P. U. at which, service Mr. Kriss of the First German Baptist Church spoke. Nazarene Cong. Church The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Procter preached at Nazarene Congregational Church, Grand avenue and Lefferts place, Brooklyn, Sunday morning. Next Sunday will be Founder's Day.

Siloam Presbyterian Ch Rev. George Shippen Strk, pastor, discoursed at the morning hour of worship at Siloam upon "Christ's Rejection of Kingship and Why He Rejected." Text, John 6:15. The sermon brought out the fact that it is only by the consent of the human heart will Christ become King. Miss Mary BB. Fubler of 153 Jefferson avenue was received into the membership. Bible School met at 1:15 p. m. The evening hour of worship brought an interesting group of missionaries on furlough from the interior of Africa. Each described the work among the tribe which they were working. Hymns were sung in the several tongues. Next Sunday at the morning hour, services will be in keeping with the evangelistic campaign and the season of Lent.

A Nice Three-Story Brick Building with all improvements for Students Course completed in Four Weeks Diplomas Given THE material contrast between the structures with which Booker T. Washington, began and the present great, sample and commodious it is is illustrious to behold, which form an oath to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr Washington's work and act ofvement. The education for annual use of out of two or three hundred young men and women is useful but the families a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. The purpose was to radiate from a center like a juggles the light of the homely purpose which must be the basis of real advance for his race, or for any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TART, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. THE TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Founded by BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course, and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture LOCATION UNSURPASSED FOR HEALTHFULNESS WRITE FOR CATALOG OF INFORMATION ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Durham, N. C.-Dr. J. E. Shepheard, president North Carolina College, has issued a general report showing the findings of the recent Conference, held here December 7 to 9. The report is as follows: Politics. Of Americans twenty-one years of age and over, only about one-fourth usually votes. Thus there are achievement, university and involuntary voters, the worst situation is in the South. Here in the last fifty years, while population has increased 100 per cent, or more; the number of voters has not increased at all despite womens suffrage. For every Negro woman in the South, fourteen white person, in the South disfranchises himself. Education. There is no reliable and definite publication of data concerning Negro education, and particularly concerning the irregularities and inequalities between white and Negro schools in the South. We know in general that common schools for Negroes are inadequately provided for, both with regard to housing, teaching and supervision; that there are very few high schools and therefore provision for higher training of Negroes in the nation is not only small in Negro colleges, but is limited by discrimination in white colleges. The education of the American Negro is still without a definite guiding policy. Work and Wages. Collective bargaining though real trade unions is the only proven method of bettering working conditions and raising wages. The Brotherhood of Sleeping. Car Porters is an excellent example of effort toward this end. In general, Negro workers are poorly paid, especially on farms. They are discriminated against, in industry, the kinds of work they permitted to do, in the wages they receive; and in their chance for promotion. Negro children need real intelligent vocational guidance, and instruction in hygiene. Negro wage earners need better knowledge of modern cooperation and closer union with the professional and educated classes. At present Negroes are used as tools by the employers, and as unofficial union members to strike breakers. And against this tendency the American Federation of Labor has no real program and no effective plan or recruiting Negroes into the labor movement. Business and Industry. Negro business is reaching a critical stage. In a land and era when individual enterprise, small group business and small investors are at the mercy of great combinations and concentrated capital. Negro business is protected only in case of prejudice which refuses Negroes service of certain kinds, in the rainy season or in the event of unusual business ability. Negro business finds difficulty in raising sufficient capital from poor people; in safely investing the funds of banks and insurance companies; in protecting itself against the indifference and eminity of white competitors and in guarding against incompetence, greed and dishonesty in its own ranks. The development of Negro business and industry under these circumstances is difficult; there is half a billion dollars of insurance on Negro lives placed by Negro companies; there are 50 small Negro banks with assets perhaps of eighteen millions.

FLIT DESTROYS Moths, Roaches Bedbugs, Flies Other Household Insects years a notable achievement, number of merchant ships, slocal men and the man-manufactured man still small when compared a population of 12 million. Our farmers and servants, we form disproportionate numbers need protection from peonage, exploitation, and they lack organization for collective bergalian. Oppressive tenancy laws, unlawful mortgage systems and prices, unpopulation oppression and low wages and long hours are driving away the servants. The Negro has just gun to cater to his own wants, this inner self-serving economy lies his greatest chance for nomic pulp and independence has made the beginning and man go forward under the secrete hunch of the capitalist competition. His greatest weapon of industrial and business offense is Negro patronage of the gro enterprise. Crime and Social Unpluff. Migration from North to South and from country districts to city has seriously disrupted Negro lifestyle. Housing conditions bad and such improvements as new being made, are for the well-to-mart rather than for the poor. Through the ignorance and prejudice of employers and through the changing technique of industry, Negro easily lose old fields of work and with difficulty enter new fields. This causes large and periodic unemployment. The resultant poverty and had social environment of a disproportionate Negro crime, illness and death. To offset this, the colored group, has only just begun to furnish systematic relief up to the limit of their economic ability for the under-prilleged of their own group. Religion. Negroes are organized into 47,251 church groups, holding presen- tations at $802,789 and annual budgeting more than ten millions of dollars. side this, there are several hundred M. Y. G. A. and Y. W. C. A. o- ganizations for colored people, with the million worth of property Religion among Negroes faces difficult problems. Within the group, there is the clash of primitive superstition, sectarian orthodoxy, ethical conduct and scientific knowledge. Without the group and in its contact with whites there are all sorts of questions of segregation and discrimination and both within and without the problem of overreaction of social uplift, recreation and education. The strength of the Negro church lies in its function; as a forum of discussion; a support of education; a center of social service work; and its widespread social leadership of the Negro group. The weakness of the Negro church lies in its sectarian theology. The large proportion of ignorant and poorly paid ministers its emphasis on emotion and its neglect of intelligent developing youth. Negro Youth. Negro youth is affected by a modern environment. That environment calls for increased student government in colleges; freedom from religious doctma; encouragement by means of scholarships and financial aid in education. Negro youth call for sympathy for sympathetic patients; in its contact with the white world, the strain of discrimination and contempt and in its contact with its own Negro world, the 'chance of misunderstanding and discrimination, makes the lot of the young American Negro extraordinarily difficult. Young Negroes are not called freely into conference with their elders upon the moment. They are not listened to, so seriously that they learn the point of view and the experience of 'their elders. They are still met by harsh command, rather than by argument and explanation. The Laws House Phone 5395 Cheshire Homesteadly Furnished Rooms First Class Guests Permanent or Transient Guests Mrs. L.

J., Wilbur Cohen, Negro, was awarded the decision over the same Benny Bass (none other), and, in the Atlantic City Herald, Mike Henley went on to state: "Colen had his opponent going in the third stanza, and had not the Harlem flash tired, he would have forced the champion to take the count. Cohen made the featherweight champion look like a novice." Benny is champ two months longer and fights once as he did here, on last Monday night for the crown, it will be curtains for all concerned. It was good for Bass that the title was not at sake." My friend, Mike Henley, knew his garden products when he made that statement for on his very next start, the featherweight champ lost to dazzling Tony Canzoneri. It would have been too bad had the downtown daily, newspapers published the story of Bass defeat at the hands of Willie Cohen. But you know these things are well taken care of. But Mike Henley D1D nail one right. No mistake about that. Walk Miller and Jimmie Moore Part After several months of pleading "Gentleman" Jimmie Moore was finally released by Walk Miller last week. Jimmie Brown and Jack White have taken over the Pacific Coast middleweight champion. Now After taking the early rounds of an eight round bout on last Friday night at Madison Square Garden, back McVey, colored middleweight champion and contender (for the sixth disputed, 160 pound crown held by Mickey Walker) lost to Miake Rosenbloom, Harlem Hebrew association. The bout was a semi-final to the Ace Huddkins-Sammy Baker fracas and had its brilliant and dull moments. Lost Magnolia, who refereed the contest, had a time separating the pair upon several occasions, and it seemed that the eight round battle held little interest. Rosenbloom weighted 159½ while McVey scaled five pounds lighter. McVey landed some telling blows in the early rounds with Rosenbloom in there watching for all he was worth, but also corn Bread" paid little attention to this. In the fifth stanza McVey seemed hacking his unusual punch and appear- ance by slowing up. Rosenbloom won this round by a wide margin. McVey was sluggish in the sixth, and his opponent had an edge landing some neat blows in the infighting.

Clark Favors Jack Johnson The writer recently made a call upon Walk. Miller and my visit to the 42nd street offices was marked with the pleasure of meeting the "new black menace, Roy Clark. I knew at the first glance that this fellow would give a few of the big boys a tough time in the 'roped arena. Walk Miller stood beside his "ace" and I was forced to laugh. This fellow Clark made the famous guardian of the late "tiger" Flowers appear like a midget. I wouldn't doubt that the "Minnassa Mauler" would look like one of Tammany Young's sawnhicks against a hundred note. Weighing 229 pounds (stripped) and a reach 84 inches, to say that he stands 6 feet and seven inches in his stocking feet goes to prove that Heeney, Sharkey, Delaney and a few others will find it a tough job pushing over this new entry in the heavyweight elimination series. Clark favors Jack Johnson in build, features and, believe it or not, he sports "a golden smile." Hands? Why his mitts could cover a six-inch desk Slotter. We will continue to keep an eye on Roy (Ace) Clark. ing numerous jolts and jabs about his opponent's 'rubber tummy' and had the fans yelling. McVey no doubt, was contemplating a knockout, but Rosenbloom held on; and with the eight Rosenbloom stepped on it, and the bout in the closing round found the boys setting a fast pace. The bout should have been declared a draw but, the fans were contented with the judges' decision (so it seemed). Before one of the biggest crowds of the current basketball season the fast Y. M. D. quintet (contenders for the amateur title) defeated the St. Judes quintet on last Thursday night at the Renaissance Casino by a 24 to 21 score. The 135th Street "Y" boys led at half-time 17 to 12 with Adams, Marshall and Webb doing the majority of the shooting. In the second hall, however, the Saints came through with a burst of speed that kept the two or more thousand fans in cheering sprees.

From Old Mark In Winning Title Phil Edwards, New York University star athlete, clinched a place for himself on the American Olympic team Saturday night, February 18, when he established a new indoor record for the 1000-yard race at the Senior Metropolitan Track and Feld Championship Meet in the 13th Reiment Armory, Brooklyn. Edwards won the metropolitan title last summer, and in defending his crown, clipped 1.1-5 seconds from the old record⁸⁰ of 2:16 5-5 which the set at the time he first won the title. His new time is 2:15 2-5 which is considered exceptionally fast for an eight lap flat armory track with the runners using flat soled shoes. The dusky N. Y. U. ace ran a clever race. He went out at the start leading a field of twenty. At the first lap, William Warden of the N. Y. A. C. passed him but couldn't hold the pace, and was again passed by Edwards on the second lap. From this point on Edwards maintained the lead until the end of the race, finishing ten yards ahead of the second runner. Edwards is having his most successful season. He has won every 600-yard race he has started in the present school term, and has been defeated in the 1000-yard event only by Lloyd Halm. He has also been responsible for many victories by the New York University relay team of which he is the anchor man. Emil Von Elling, the track coach at N. Y. U. believes the 600-yard race is Edwards' right distance, and that the Negro star is the best man in the country in a race of this distance. He is enthusiastic about the way Edwards has developed under him and believes his pupil will yet set a new world's record in the 1000 or 600 yard event. Phil Edwards Stars At N. Y. A. C. Games Philip Edwards, long-striding N. N. U. Negro aced, added to his impressive string of victories by winning the first leg on the Breinfrey Cup in the half-mile special event of the New York Athletic Club games, Monday night, February 20, in 1 minute 57 seconds, beating Eddie Swinburne, of the New York A. C. by a yard after a superb sprout from belind in the last half lap. Clarence Dussault of Georgetown, was third, and William Warden, of the New York A. C. fourth. The 'N. Y. U. boy showed a brand of courage that could not be denied in fighting his way past Swinburne in a stirring duel through the last half lap Swinburne, sensing Edwards's superior sped, fought his his rival's bid on the last turn, then bore out from the pole until Edwards was almost hacked up against the Garden masonry in his attempt to charge past the big air-Georgetown runner. With a last lunge in the final stretch, Edwards swept to the van to break the tape a winner Phil Edwards, returning to the track an hour after his Bretney half-mile triumph, won the metropolitan one-mile college relay championship for New York University, running his last leg in 30.5 seconds, the world's indoor record. New York University timed in 3:28 4:5, near Fordham, by fifteen yards, with Rutgers third Fred Veit third man for New York University, handed Edwards the lead as he has done consistently this season, and Edwards streaked around the oval with his tremendous strides to open a huge gap on Artic O'Connor, Maroon anchor.

PER'S NEW HIT RY WHIRL th MADELINE BELL. A WILLIAMS, SMITH & ENHAM, EARL, TUCKER BLAILLY — Connie's Inn Band DR. HARRY T. BURLEIGH BROADCASTS NOTABLE PROGRAM OF NEGRO MUSIC IN GENERAL MOTORS FRIGIDAIRE PROGRAM An hour of folk songs and Spirituals of the Negro race, with Dr. Harty T. Burleigh, distinguished colored musician, singing them with orchestra, hand and shoral accompaniment, featured the Frigidaire program in the series of General Motons family parties on Monday evening, February 20. Dr. Burleigh is one of the outstanding leaders who has brought dignity and distinction to his race. For thirty-five years he has been the principal soloist of St. George's Episcopal church in New York City, retained over that long period by a white congregation because of the beautiful quality of his baritone voice and his devotion to religious music. Not only in the vocal field however, has he attained recognition. He is given full credit in the world, of music for having saved the now famous Negro folk songs and Spirituals from oblivion. Years of research and study of the music of his own people have resulted in the composition and arrangement by him of one hundred and thirty-five of these songs, whose beginnings go back to days of antiquity among the black tribes of Africa. His best known composition of this nature is "Deep River." Burleigh was a poor boy, born of obscure parents in Eric, Pa., 61 years ago, the grandson of a slave. His success in music has been coincident with a long struggle for livelihood in a restricted field of endeavor, varying from deck hand to bookkeeper. In spite of these limitations he managed to work his way through school and to graduate from Howard University in Washington, D.C. During later years his path has been smoother, as his great voice and his compositions have brought him substantial remuneration. The Spirituals of the American Negro are said to constitute the most extensive and varied body of folk song that is still alive and growing in any civilized country today. The Negro incorporated a little of everything from the Bible down to popular stage songs of his day, and unified all by instilling it into his own peculiar psychology, pathos and humor. The results were sometimes crude, but not infrequently he hit upon a literary effectiveness greater than the studied artistry of more learned composers. Unique in their imagery, style and creative effort these songs defy imitation. With the singing of the old folk songs, the Negro can banish ill feeling, and project himself beyond the reaches of human limitations into the land of the spirit. The religious songs, with their weird intonations, produce a mystical effect that is generally touching and pathetic. Never since man first lived and suffered was his longing and suffering uttered more plaintively. There is no parallel instance of an oppressed race thus sustained by religious sentiment. Its songs are but the real expression of the simplicity of its faith and the sublimity of its long resignation. The wild sad stories tell, as the sufferers themselves could, of crushed hopes, keen sorrow, and a dull daily misery which cover them. On the other hand the words breathe a faith in rest for the future to which their eyes seem constantly turned. Assisting artists in the Frigidaine hour were the Hall-Johnson Jubilee Singers, a chorus of vocalists almost as famous in their field as Burleigh in his. As accompanists and in individual selections of Negro music, the hour-presented a symphony orchestra with Roderic Graham as conductor, Joe Green's popular novelty band and a concert band under the direction of Edwin Franko Goldman. The program was heard over thirty-stations from the New York studios of the National Broadcasting Company, and was as follows; PART I Orchestra "Down South" .....

INTERESTING, IF TALE IS CORRECT In the New York Sun of a recent date the following interesting story is printed concerning Georgette Harvey, leading singer of the female quartet which was a feature of the late "Runin' Wild" show under the billing of the "Runin' Wild Four," which was a feature attraction of the Keith Circuit. "The Sun's story is as follows: INCLUDED THE RUSSIAN. "Porgy," Directed by Russian, Includes Georgette Harvey, Who Spent Twelve Years in Russia. BY ROBERT MOUNTSIER. We were sitting at Marias table in 'Catfish Row, Georgette Harvey and I, and the talk was of the courage of Evelyn Ellis, who had been playing Crown's Bess while a physician waited for her in the kitchen singing her that life of "Porgy" when she fainted from the strain on her weakened heart. Then there walked through one of the doors that only a few minutes before had been teeming with Negro players a woman who spoke to Georgette Harvey in a foreign tongue and received a reply in the same language. Although my knowledge of Russian is more or less limited to the noises for "I love you" and "holied eggs", it was not necessary to put any questions about it, the woman who had been talking, to darky dialect on that stage all evening. She reeled off Russian like a gypsy singer in the "Chance Souris", while Porgys goat backstage let it be known that he wanted to get back home, if one may so dignify a New York livery stable. But Georgette Harvey is so self-possessed a woman of the stage and the wide world that no goat can bother her or her Russian, or for that matter her English, which puts for shame the slovenly speech of a lot of New Yorkers. Mis* Harvey spent sixteen years abroad, twelve in Russia, and what with the war and Russian revolutions she has lived history, comedy and tragedy. "I left America in 1905" with ten cents, one dress and a contract," she said "and I arrived back here with the clothes on my back and Russian, German, French and Japanese for I have a good memory and a good ear. "The Russian revolutions and depreciated rubbles ruined me I loved the old Russia its people were wonderful, simple and big-hearted. After touring Europe for a number of years with a quartet, I settled down in Russia, singing Russian songs, and when the war broke out I had a beautiful big illn servant and all, in St. Peter's. When the obliteration had been in force a battle decided to get out and he sacrificing my property I got together $30,000 in problems RAYMOND CLAYMES BARITONE Concert Oratorio Recital 233 WEST 138th STREET New York City Phone: Edgecombe 6944 "Mr. Claymes has a voice with a soul and a Rare Interpretative Sense."

It has given the Negro a chance on the stage such as he has never had before. The Theater Guild has done everything possible in staging the play, and it was especially interesting to me to see this play, peculiar to a certain kind of American Negro life, grow into a big artistic success under a Russian stage director, Roubain Mamoulian. The Guild is to be blessed for it all." ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM We are pleased to record that at a testimonial dinner, tendered Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, bandmaster, Sergeant-at-arms M. Minton of Local 802 was an invited and bonored guest. Narrow-minded and disgruntled persons have formerly derided and belittled Minton's occupancy of this position, have tried to place obstacles in his way, and generally aimed to harass him. But when Mr. Canavan, president of Local 802, clearly demonstrated to the unruly ones that Sergeant-at-Arms Minton would be prosecuted and defended in any egitimate observance of his duties, why these obstructionists soon realized and spread the news that Minton was O.K., was a first fellow and protecting our interests in the performance of his duties. So we welcome the fact of the organizer of the dinner, so to speak, publicly acknowledging Sergant-ant-Arms Minton and the race aspect of the case. Mr. Minton made a short speech thanking them for the honor of being present and that this was the occasion on which no one would sorry about the presentation of their local affiliation. The dinner was held under the auspices of Monarch Band, No. 45 I. B. P. O. E., of which Lieut. Simpson is conductor. It is alleged that Steve Stevens, pianist, who was employed at the Lafayette Theatre, refused on New Year's Day to play a show, beheading his pay before the show started. There must have been an awful rumpus, as it is stated the house manager called a policeman to make Stevens either vaccine or pit or play the show. The manager claimed Stevens was intoxicated. Two weeks after this occurrence, Stevens was booked by Vaughn to play a show in the Lafayette. The manager, seeing Stevens, refused allow him to go in the pit. Stevens initiated by filing claim with Local 804 for a wages. It eventually fell to Sergeant at Arms Minton to get a check to cover Stevens's salary should his claim be allowed. This check was deposited with the local. Our investigation, the local refused the manager his check, this upholding him in barring players from the theatre who have acted improperly. George Francis, banjoist, took Shrimp Jones, Willie Taylor, Meade and a non-union man on a steady job in 56th street. For a reason, after working a few weeks, the impersonator was disatisfied with 'Leader Francis' and fired him. Francis wanted the other men to quit. They 'refused and stayed on the job. Francis then filed charges at the union against the men for working with a non-union man. Arent's the ways of mankind peculiar? Again, Francis' thirst for revenge might act as a boomerang against his own head. Deacon Johnson took an orchestra to Station WABC on Thursday night to participate in a program billed as "Florence Mills' Memorial." A friend called the writer on the phone and acquainted me with the fact, and invited me to listen, via phone. The orchestra played a number, and then—"Well! Well! Well!" The clearest spoken words of the Deacon before the mike came out as if he were in the adjoining room "Now, we will have another number by the orchestra." What a wonderful mike voice he has "Blue Heaven" it was, but the clouds must have been overcast, as the reception was somewhat hazy. Whether his was due to an error in seating or other causes is not known, but don't forget I was listening by phone. Spacking personally, to Deacon, he said he was induced to broadcast a short notice, and there was a misunderstanding and now as the Florence Mills Memorial had taken place the previous week, and that the orchestra was under the personal direction of "Kill" Cole. And further he had received many complimentary comments in his presentation. Please have your news items in by Tuesday afternoon of each week. Articles reaching the of fice later than Tuesday, will appear in the following week's (A White Fantasy on a Black Theme by Michael Gold, produced at the New Playwrights Theatre, 40 Commerce St. three blocks south on 7th Avenue, from Christopher St. Station, directed by Edward Massey, settings by William Gaskin, music by Edward A. Ziman, costumes by Evelyn Clifton.) (By LUCIEN H. WHITE) The New Playwrights, in their endeavor to revolutionise the drama, are making a radical departure from modern day productions by presenting a purely Negro play, with an all-white cast, with one exception—a colored boy who comes on for a few minutes in the last act and almost stops the show with an acrobatic exhibition of buck and wing dancing. Michael Gold, the author, a member of the batik school of writers, has taken what he termed the "Harlem of 1903" and the "Harlem of 1928", as the slices of bread for his sandwich, with a rather far-fetched phantasm labelled "Hoboken" for the inbetween meat. Making the most liberal allowance for the so-called "pratic license", it is still a tremendous strain on the imagination to accept Gold's portraits. The first scene is placed in a Harlem that was practically non-existent in 1903 but Mr. Gelo's slip in this direction-may be due to his lack of knowledge of Negto development in New York City., Antwangelist, the "Reverend Rosewater," an undertaker, "Mr. Butler," several barroom characters and a vagrant banjoet, "Sam Pickins," furnish most of the action in this act. Incidentally the barroom characters, "Chill' McGregor," "Barney," "Kid Mumbo" and "Hank Spivey," as a male vocal quartet, do some execrable singing upon which it is charitable not to comment. And the same may be said for the wouldbe jazz singing later on of Jane Barry, and the ensemble in the last act. "Sam," the vagrant banjoist, with a wife, "Sally," and a child, "Honey Lou," seems chronically unable to keep a job, and at the same time is absolutely impervious to the pleadings of his wife and the preacher that he join the church and become a respectable citizen. The revival scene is, perhaps, the most realistic demonstration of the evening, but there is a more attractive development later, in the second act, laid in Hoboken, where "Sam" has wandered in quest of a mythical job, in which a "dream circus" is enacted. It was in the third act, however, that Brother Gold stretched his imagination to the point that his production grates upon the sensibilities. Some twenty-five years had elapsed, and the 'Harlem of 1903' had become the "Harlem of 1928", and he uses the present-day cabaret fad as his vehicle. But the trouble is that he has turned both preacher and undertaker into cabaret proprietors, conducting rival joints in close proximity to each other, and exercising a bitter rivalry as to which can present the most lurid attractions. This travesty upon the Negro minister and business man leaves a rather unpleasant taste in the mouth, even though one realizes that Gold is probably only trying to give a punch to his play. The main theme of his propaganda is the ruthless brutality of the white man's treatment of the Negro, physically, commercially and spiritually and this would be cagely accepted in a proper dressing. The brutal heating of prisoners by policemen, so common in New York City, is emphasized by the treatment given "Sam" in Hoboken by two Teutonic minions of the law. "Sam," looking for a job with a circus, to which he had been directed by his drunken friend, "McGregor," was warned by an Irish hobo whom he met in a park, that the police were looking for a burglar, and that any black man would be under suspicion. "Sam", innocent and ignorant, was unable to see why he should be in danger when he was only looking for a job, and so disregards the "Bum's" advice to "beat it" and is found by the cops Despite his protestations he is given a beating that carries him near to death, and while in a hospital he has a dream in which he finds the looked-for eicurus, the chief character in which is the "Bairjo Lady" played by a very pretty girl, Hazel Mason, who is also the "Sally" of first and third acts, and a black-faced, "Abraham Lincoln," unnamed on the program. "In this dream, "Sami" is elected "King of Hoboken," and in this capacity metes out judgments to the brutal cops, the judge and the "bum." But the beating had affected his mind, and for twenty-five years he is a witness wanderer. The third act finds "Sally" as the wife of the undertaker, "Butler," with "Honey Lou," the daughter, grown into an attractive girl who is in love with "Joe McGregor," son of the drunken "Chill." The preacher's cabaret seems to be getting the best of the argument in its competition with the undertaker's joint, and when "Butler" reproaches "Rosenwater" for trying to best him, the two men compromise when "Butler" agrees to let "Rosenwater" marry, "Honey Lou." But "Sam," old, ragged and grey, returns looking for "Sally," and finds her just as "Butler" is putting her out of his house because "Honey Lou" refuses to give up "Joe." Then "Sam" wakes from his twenty-five year old dream, realizing that his kingship was but a phantasy, resulting from his mental aberration. Michael Gold is described as "an ardent rebel in the arts," and to judge by "Hoboken Blues," he well deserves the designation. The setting he is giving the Negro's wrongs shows him to be sympathetic setting-forth takes a weird phantastic form which is calculated to make with the underdog, but the atmosphere with which he surrounds the Negro appear unworthy of that sympathy. Perhaps if Mr. Gold's play was given with a colored cast and with a more faithful adherence to types, it would be more pleasing, if not more attractive. The current run of "Porgy," a play about Charleston Negroes, written by a white Charlestonman, DeBose Heyward, and played by an all-Negro cast of actors, may not just be compared to "Hoboken Blues," but it does recall a recent emission from "Porgy's" author, in which he said that "no two classes of southerners have been worse used than the Negro and the mountaineer." Further on, he said that he is interested in the Negro's own groping for expression, "I think one must look ultimately to the Negro for his own story, and the work of whites about the Negro is significant, primarily in showing the attitude of the white writer toward his material. I don't think I've written the Negro epic. No white man can." Mr. Gold's sense of dramatic values may have led to his exaggerations, and then again it may have been that his information came from ill-informed sources. Herbert T Berman as "Mr Butler", Lawrence Bolton as "Chill McGregor", Mary Doerr as "Granny Pickens", gave earnest effort to their characterizations, but the best work of the evening was that of Hazel Mason as "Sally" and "Banjo Angel", and George Bratt as "Sam Pickens". The honors of the evening, however, went to Harold Boardley, a Negro dancer, who cane on in a cabaret scene in the last act and stirred the audience, which packed the auditorium, to wildest enthusiasm. Raymond Claymes In His Second Recita Raymond Claymes, baritone, who made his initial appearance in recital, on January 20, will offer a second program of old and modern English, French, German, Spanish and Italian songs and arias, Negro Spirituals and dialect' songs on Sunday, March 11, at 3:15 p.m. with Miss Arnetta Jones, at the piano.

The monopoly is broken; and, seemingly it is broken forever. The latest news to strengthen this trend of thought is the report that crews of Fillipinos will be permanently located at the Pullman Mott Haven Yards in this city to serve on private cars operated out of this district. This metns that Fillipinos will replace Negroes as private car porters, waiters and stewards. While Fillipinos have been operating for some time as waiters and stewards on Pullman club cars in several Pullman districts, it is the first time they have been placed in the New-York Central district. This recent move of the Pullman Company's management is viewed by some porters as reprisal on the part of the company for the union agitation. Other porters believe that it is done expressly to keep the porters from unionizing. It is the idea of the writer that neither of these opinions is absolutely correct, as to cause, especially the opinion regarding reprisal. Personally, somehow or other, the idea cannot be accepted that the Pullman management desires to vent retaliation upon the porters. Retaliation for what? In the first place, the porters have not been unionized. In the second place, even those porters who have become interested in the movement have not done anything as yet to merit reprisal. They have destroyed none of the company's property, they have indulged in no conspicuous demonstration for the movement, and, so far as we are able to learn, they have attended to their duties the same as they did before the agitation started. In the third place, had these pro-union porters been guilty of any one of three things mentioned, the company would not have need to resort to reprisal. A much easier method was open. Furthermore, it couldn't well wreak reprisal on one set of its porters without inflicting the same punishment upon all. And it is a well-known fact that all the porters are not in sympathy with the union agitation. Some of these have been outspoken in their opposition. Under these conditions the reprisal idea seems illogical. Then again, despite thoughts to the contrary, the managing officials of the Pullman Company are not devoid of all sentiment in their relations with their porters. Many of these officials have come from the ranks. They have worked side by side with the porter. They have witnessed his weak points and his strong ones; have heard his troubles as well as his joys. And, after all, there are certain contacts that leave their imprint. We do not believe that all these officials have been immune from those imprints. That they are opposed to the porters unisoning is to be expected, but it doesn't seem reasonable that reprisal would be one of the methods they would employ in their opposition. Now the opinion that the replacing of Negroes by Filipinos on club smokers and private cars is done with the object of discouraging the union movement among the porters may be accepted as having some basis. Still, we do not believe that, this replacement is done especially for the impression it will make upon the porters. It is our idea that it is done for the impression it will have upon every employee in the Pullman system. So far as the porters' group alone is concerned it is just possible to think that it would matter little to the company whether this group became unionized or not. But if the porters were allowed to unionize that would mean unionism in every branch of the Pullman industry, and the Pullman Company, has had its expertise with union labor. Back in 1885 or thereabout, unionism wrought havoc with the company. It was only after much strife, bloodshed and the shattering of the utopian dreams of the late founder of the Pullman Company that this form of industrial relations was repudiated by the corporation. Since then Pullman conductors have established a union, but it is said that they are not a formidable organization. But any group of Pullman employees that is as large as the porters group is going to encounter opposition from the Pullman Company if they attempt to establish union methods in their dealing with the company. Another reason for the introduction of brown men in the Pullman service has been advanced by Harry Hull in the Chicago Whip. And sounds plausible. Writing on the subject of the porters union movement, Hull says: "Sane careful and deliberate thinkers of the colored race have stated that while they are in perfect accord with those who claim that the conditions of our laboring classes should be improved, till they are unwilling to concede that unionization of the unskilled trades among us is at all advisable. Replacement is too simple and easy. Others state that if the Pullman porters ever held any monopoly on their jobs that attempt to make a union of that monopoly has caused the Pullman Company to guard itself against it." Whether that idea originated with Hull, or he heard it, it certainly gives substance to the Filipino invasion. With this latest move by the Pullman Company, it lends further substantiation to his implication that there will be no more monopoly on Negroes on Pullman cars. In "The Story of The Pullman Car," a book written in 1917 by Joseph Husband on the history of the Pullman Company and the evolution of the Pullman car, a copy of which was sent to every porter and conductor who had then been in the service for over ten years, the following passage told of this monopoly: "The Pullman Company is today the greatest single employer of colored labor in the world. Trained as a race by years of personal service in various capacities, and by nature adapted faithfully to perform their duties under circumstances which necessitate unfailing good nature, solicitude and faithfulness the Pullman porters occupy a unique place in the great fields of employment. There are porters who for forty years have been employed by the company, and of all the porters employed, an army of nearly eight thousand, twenty-five per cent have been for over ten years in continuous service. The reputation of any company depends in a large measure on the character of its employees, and particularly in those concerns which render a personal service to the general public is it necessary that the standards of the employees be exceptionally high. Such standards of personal service cannot be quickly developed; they can be achieved only through years of experience and close personal study of the wide range of requirements of those who are to be served." In the foregoing paragraph it is easy to be beset with the writer, indirectly, points out this monopoly. That it is now broken is indisputable. What caused it, nobody positively knows but the Pullman Company, and it doesn't talk. WHO OBSERVED IT? The 12th day of February has passed, and we wonder how many of our people observed it as it should have been observed? The following article shows that our Massachusetts contributor did. A Tribute To The Sage of Anacostia By LOUIS WHITE All races and nations glory in the heroic deeds of their countrymen. We are now engaged in extolling the daring exploits of Major Lindbergh on his good-will mission. A few months before we yelled ourselves hoarse over the feats of two ring gladiators in Chicago. A little further back we were enthusiastic in our praise of a certain woman swimmer. All of which goes to prove that we are a people who, despite our difference in pigment of skin and texture of hair, are, as others, admirers of heroism in every form. But how many of our people thought of that black hero of long ago on Tuesday, February 14th. History records the birth of Frederick Douglas as the 14th day of February. Upon this assumption, we, a grateful people, feel it our burden duty to honor the memory of such a notable character in our history by such exercises as may seem consistent in paying homage to one, who, as a vanguard, helped to break the shackles of slavery from the arms of ten million men and women of his race. The black hero dedicated his life to the service of his race. He lived day and night for the freedom of his people. He lectured on America and England on the injustice of human enslavement, he always point to him as an inspiration and safe guide for the future and succeeding generations. The stirring passages in the life of our hero were most striking. His courage and persistence for justice gave him universal recognition. There is a fast growing tendency among the masses of the race to recognize and applaud any endeavor of a superior quality where merit is shown by its members. This tendency should never let us forget Frederick Douglas. The warfare against slavery, taken boldly into the enemy's camp during ante-bellum days, shows in bold relief the temper and intrepid determination of our hero. We who live in this day and time have come into the rich heritage of his labors. We rejoice that his Christian life and heroic deeds were of such lofty plane that he left behind a monument to the Negro race that will ever endure. "Mr. Ford and the Pullman Co." Article Causes Repercussion Among Pullman Veterans The article, "Mr. Ford and his Pullman Company", which appeared in this column several weeks ago has been the subject for considerable commentary repercussion among Pullman veterans. The reaction has come to the column's attention orally as well as in writing. The following comment is from the second oldest porter, in point of service in the New York district: Your review on Mr. Ford and the Pullman Company was wonderfully good. You explained the situation accurately when you said that there were other veterans in the Pullman service, who didn't believe that the propaganda disseminated against the Pullman Company would benefit the porters in any way. Instead of aiding the porters, this propaganda, which has been waged mostly by persons seeking notoriety, or a job, and former disgruntled porters has been hurtful. I wrote Mr. Ford fifteen months ago telling him not to pay any attention to these propagandists. You have to give Ford credit, he is a fighter. Seventy-five per cent of the veteran porters were covered in your review and ninety-nine per cent of all Pullman porters were covered in Ford's article. "ANDREW P.
