CLERK JOBS DEMANDED IN CHAIN STORE
New Negro Alliance Seeks to Force Store to Hire Negroes
Pickets moved into position in front of the A and P Store, Seventh and S Streets, Northwest, early Wednesday morning when the officials failed to comply with a demand of the New Negro Alliance to place colored clerks in the store.
Hundreds of letters were sent to prospective customers earlier in the week advising them of the steps to be taken providing the store refused to hire Negro clerks.
The plan is to have the pickets march in front of the store from the time it is opened until it is closed. They are employed in reliefs of two who work two-hour shifts.
Store in Colored Section
The store which is in an exclusive Negro neighborhood is said to be the first wedge the Alliance plans to enter in a campaign to buy-where you-can-work.
At a meeting of the Alliance Saturday night a report was made showing that Negroes are already refusing to patronize the store. It was stated that instead of four white clerks the store employed only two on Saturday and these were not busy as has been the case on Saturday evenings.
A recent survey was made by the Alliance of the section served by the store. This survey which was presented to A and P officials showed that only five white families are in the entire neighborhood. The picketing was started when officials of the chain store failed to answer the protest of the Alliance. The organization gave the chain store officials two weeks in which to answer the proposal to employ colored clerks. Failing to receive an answer the executive council of the Alliance met last Thursday (Continued on page 2)

viding for the employment of more workers, but that the provision made for this in the proposed code, fell short of the objective. The Committee's brief showed that the scale of 54 hours for males and 48 hours for female workers as-called for in Sec. B of Article 3, was inadequate, due to th. wage rate which the code called for. It pointed out that these situations would work hardshi, on the employed persons, and recommended that the hours be 48 for male

Whites Also Protest Lewd Story Told by Assistant Secretary Treasury
W. L. Roberts, assistant secretary of the Treasury, will be barred from National Broadcasting Company's local stations following his "nigger speech" Monday night over Station WMAL during a stag banquet at the Occidental Hotel in honor of the Washington Senators, winners of the American League baseball pennant.
F. M. Russell, white, vice president of the N.B.C.'s two stations here in Washington, told a delegation Wednesday morning that Roberts would not be permitted to broadcast over WMAL or WRC, the two outlets here for the national network.
Told Lewd Stories
Thousands of local citizens, white and colored, protested against the obscene jokes and the secretary's repeated reference to "niggers" in his tellw lewd jokes.
Mr. Russell said that more white persons than colored had protested to him about the dirty jokes told by Roberts at the stag. He said that the station switenboard was forced to work several hours after the broadcast w.s over in order to answer calls from irate listeners-in.
Hails from Georgia
One of the stories was especially vulgar and referred to a man and wife who permitted another woman visitor to sleep with them in the same bed. All were referred to as "niggers" by Roberts who is a Georgia citizen, hailing from Atlanta.
Following the call at the office of Vice President Russell, the delegation has decided to carry the protest to Secretary of the Treasury Woodin. Those in the delegation included:
The Rev. R. W. Brooks, president of the Inter-demonstrational Alliance; the Rev. William H. Jernagin, pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church and president of the National Negro Legislature Council; Colonel West O. Hamilton, editor of the Washington Sentiment; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, Community Center secretary; the Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church
A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. Herbert Madshall, the Rev. Robert Anderson, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington; Mrs. Dove Brooks and Garland Mackey, the latter two representing the Washington Tribune.
When asked a question by Dr Marshall as to the next time Roberts will be heard over a local N.B.C. station, Mr. Russell replied, "Not in your life-time."
Mr. Russell also told the delega-

1,622 Cooks and 2,138 Other Servants Affected By Blue Eagle
Flaying the proposed scale of work hours, and wages, as contained in the code of fair competition for the hotel industry, Bishop E. W. D. Jones, of the A. M. E. Zion church, presented a 13-page brief protesting the acceptance of this code, on behalf of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, urging revision so as to better benefit Negro employees in this industry.
The hearing was held in the New House Office Building caucus room at 10 o'clock last Monday morning, before Deputy Administrator A. D. Whitesides. Other representatives present were Miss Frances Williams, secretary of the Laboratory Division of the National Board of the Y.W.C.A., and John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee.
This committee operated as the Negro Industrial League, before the change of name.
The Joint Committee also filed a brief in the cleaning and dyeing industry opposing the 102 wage of 20 cents per hour for the Southern area. Negroes, it pointed out, predominate in the South in this industry, and this is said to be the reason for the differential.
Bishop Jones Speaker
At the hearing Monday Bishop Jones drew attention to the fact that the code through the regulation of hours of work for employees was intended to provide the stretching out of work, thus pro-

Condemn Building Used for Negro School
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(ANP)—In sharp contrast to words of praise for most Shelby county institutions, the grand jury condemned the Negro dormitory of the County Training and Agricultural School Friday in its report to Judge Wallace. The grand jurors-wrote in part: "We find this building absolutely inadequate in every respect and a fire hazard. Also, we understand that this building has been condemned for the past five or six years and is only kept standing by very frequent repairs. This building should be torn down and replaced with a fireproof structure."

The Honorable
The President:
Dear Mr. President:
On Monday evening of the present week, while a testimonial banquet was being given the Washington baseball team, a member of your official family took occasion to offer insult to and grossly offend, by personal references, one-tenth if the population of the nation, and by obscene and offensive language, to further offend all refined and self-respecting men and women of the Nation.
The offending member of your official family was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury W. L. Roberts.

COP ACCUSED OF HITTING GIRL,FINED
Trial Board Exacts $50 and Frees Him on a Second Count
Private J. G. Middleton, white, accused of striking George Burrell, formerly of 2220 Twelfth Street, Northwest, with his fists and with slapping Miss Dorothy E. Wood, 19, of Arlington, Va, was found not guilty of striking the man, but was sentenced by the Police Trial Board, Wednesday, to pay a fine of $50 for the assault on the young woman. The case had been pending before the board since July 18, when the officer is said to have committed the offense at the Fourth Precinct after arresting the pair on minor traffic charges.
The complaining witness in the first hearing before the board August 13, was Officer Walter B. Sanderson, whose testimony regarding the incident was corroborated by that of three white officers, the last, David G. Matthews, appearing before the police tribunal, Wednesday. Another significant incident of the trial was the fact that neither Miss Wood or Burrell appeared. The two white officers who had (Continued on page 16)

Such language as was used by him is unworthy of the vocabulary of one occupying a position of official responsibility in a great nation like this, and the giving of public expression to it merits summary action.
In the name of the National Association fo. the Advancement of Colored People I am registeri-g with you this protest and asking that you, as leader of the Nation and of your great party, place upon Mr. Roberts's language your official stamp of condemnation by removing him from public office
HAGERSTOWN, Md.—The condition of Robert L. Vann, special assistant to Attorney General Cummings, is improving, according to a hospital bulletin late this week.
Mr. Vann who is a publisher of a Pittsburgh weekly, was believed to have suffered a fractured skull in an automobile accident September 15 en route to Pittsburgh from Washington.
It was said that Mr. Vann lost control of his car on the wet and slippery road and it skidded out of the line of traffic and crashed head-on nto an approaching machine occupied by five persons.
He and several of the occupants of the other machine were taken to the Washington County Hospital. Mr. Vann may lose sight of his left eye as a result of his injuries, it was said.

On the evening of Tuesday, September 26, the citizens of Washington were subjected to insult of the grossest and most unprecedented sort. The case is made the more flagrant by the fact that the offender is an assistant secretary of the Treasury.

Dutton Ferguson and James Ward Carried to Precinct in Patrol Wagon
Hearing of the case against Dutton Ferguson and James Ward, members of the New Negro Alliance charged with conducting an illegitimate picket of a local branch of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, scheduled for this morning (Thursday) was continued to Tuesday. The continuance was granted at the request of Assistant Corporation Counsel Samuel DeNale, representing the prosecution.
Two pickets were arrested, two Negroes were given jobs in A.A.P. Stores, and hundreds of curious persons gathered in front of the picketed store on Wednesday when the New Negro Alliance started its first major battle to place Negro clerks in chain stores which are largely supported by colored patronage.
Dutton Ferguson, Harvard graduate, and James Ward, Howard University graduate, were arrested by officers of No. 2 Prescinct Station about 11 o'clock. They were placed in a patrol and taken to the precinct, where they were charged with violating section 16 of the District code which prohibits carrying a sign or banner without a permit.
Two Clerks Hired
At the precinct they were forced to post $15 collateral each pending a hearing in Police Court. Following the arrest of the youths, the A & P. manager announced that he had employed two colored clerks. A check-up by a Tribune reporter disclosed that a youth was clerking in the picketed store at Ninth and S Streets, Northwest, and one was in one of the chain stores in the 600 block of T Street.
Both clerks were hired Wednesday noon and put on full time.
Pickets Start Early
At 7 a.m., Tuesday, the pickets took their position near the stores with sandwich signs on their backs. These posters pointed out that the store did not employ colored help. Hundreds of curious gathered to see the pickets march back and forth in front of the store. Many who came to buy refused after reading the signs. The Alliance pointed out that about 60 persons entered the store up until the time of the arrests. Despite the fact that the pickets were prohibited from using the street other members of the Alliance took turns in front of the store, handing out typewritten notices about the store. These notices stated that the store

Roberts, Jr., assistant secretary of the Treasury, interjected in his speech stories vulgar and insulting both because of the language employed and the anecdotes related. To thousands of Negroes in particular, and to all ladies and gentlemen, the repeated use of the epithet "nigger" and on such an occasion, by a public servant holding high and responsible position in the Federal administration, was most flagrant of insults. But Mr. Roberts went further. His vulgarity reached the point where the person at the radio controls took the speech from the air until the vilest language should be passed.

Following a protest by a delegation of citizens, Mrs. Vashti Cook, wife of Mercer Cook, Howard University French instructor, was given a position at the Farm Credit Administration, 1300 F Street, Northwest, Friday, after she had been rejected the day before allegedly because of her color. Mrs. Cook was appointed to a position at the building along with six white girls. She was certified by Bertam Brande, white, Civil Service Commission, and told to go to the Farm Credit Administration where W. S.

Mrs. Cook told a Tribune reporter that Mr. Himan explained to her that there were not any more jobs left.

Moses Here Protest Discrimination; Pinkett Elected Head
The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Moses which met in annual session here last week passed a resolution calling upon President Roosevelt and General Hugh S. Johnson to use their offices to relieve the Negro of racial discrimination in the operation of the N.R.A. After reports from Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia that Negroes were being displaced by whites when certain industries signed the N.R.A. codes, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved that the National Supreme Grand Lodge of the Ancient Independent Order of Moses notes with deep concern that the present operation of the N.R.A. is adversely affecting the Negro in his daily occupation, in that he is being denied the full benefits of the act, to wit, increased salaries and employment.
Distribution Claimed
"Be it further resolved that the Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, and General Hugh S. Johnson, National Administrator, be requested to use their good offices to correct these conditions."
Copies of these resolutions have been forwarded to the President and to General Johnson.

Race's Progress Lauded in Radio Talk on Emancipation
Immediate appointment of a member of the group in the Department of Commerce, charged with the responsibility of making business and commercial studies concerning the Negro's economic problems and their relationship to the national economic program, was forecasted by Honorable Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, in a radio address, Friday night.
Speaking on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the emancipation of the group, Secretary Roper related that through this plan he hoped to help the colored business man to better understand and accept the highest American standards and practices of business and commerce.
Through information secured from Mr. Roper's office, this week, it was learned that the announcement of the appointment will be made "within a few days." No indication as to the identity of the person to be named was given, although it is rumored that there a approximately a half-hundred candidates. It was also learned from Mr. Roper's office that the secretary will give consideration to the committee, recently called, in making the selection.
After citing statistics showing the progress made by the Negro since emancipation and commending the race for its accomplishments, Mr. Roper said in part: "The increasingly difficult economic problems of our complex society require co-operative thinking and sympathetic support to bring about a solution of all government problems. It is in recognition of this fact, and with particular appreciation of your place in this program that I initiated in the

Interior Department "Cannot" Intervene in Disbarment of Negroes at Boulder Dam
Ickes's Office Issues Statement that Government Has No Voice in Determining Labor Employed by Contractors at Las Vegas, Nev.
The Dept. of the Interior, which has supervision of the construction of Boulder dam at Las Vegas, Nev., "cannot intervene" with the contractors and see that more Negroes are given employment, it announced this week.
In a letter to New York to Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Harry Slattery, personal assistant to Secretary Harold L. Ickes, admits that an investigation has shown that not many Negroes are employed on the construction of the $150,000,000 dam.

The person who conducts himself in such despicable fashion has forfeited claim he may ever had to association with ladies and gentlemen. His remaining in any public position of trust is impossible. It is unthinkable that President Roosevelt or Secretary Woodin will
Mr. Slattery gives two reasons for this: (1) much of the work requires men to operate special construction machinery and the various contractors at work on the dam brought their own men with them who have worked on similar jobs elsewhere, and (2) the government has no voice in determining the labor that shall be employed by the contractor. He writes:
The contract with the Six Companies, Inc. provides that so far as practicable preference shall be given at the time of employment, first to qualified ex-service men, and second to citizens of the United States...
From this it will be seen that no law and no contract provisions require Six Companies, Inc. to employ Negro labor...
After considering the facts reported by the investigator and the government's relation to the contractor, I am frank to state that the department is without jurisdiction and as long as the contractor complies with all the laws and the provisions of its contract, we cannot intervene.
Sets Dangerous Precedent
The spetacle of the United States government, denying Negro citizens a chance to work on projects financed out of public funds blasts the faith of colored people in the New Deal and sets a danger, preceded, the N.A.A.C.P. wrote. Slattery in reply.
"This (Boulder dam) matter is simply a question of opportunity to work and earn a living on the same basis as any other American," replied Mr. Wilkins. "If his federal government, the highest authority in the land, denies him a chance to work, to what agency shall the Negro American turn and what methods shall he adopt in order to remain alive and remain so long as you usus
"The chief danger in the department's attitude...is that it is certain to set a precedent for employment on all public works projects, with the results that the Negro worker will continue to be excluded from employment at the whim of private contractors.
"The government's attitude...is bound to influence builders on private construction; the belief thus becomes intrenched that the Negro workman is not entitled to a fair share of employment. It is dangerous to see such a precedent and the results may be far-reaching and unpleasant."
Moral Obligation on Government
The N.A.A.C.P. admits that contractors on private construction work have had the practice of carrying certain known employees with them and of selecting other employees as they saw fit. The association contends, however, that on public works, paid for out of the public treasury built up by taxes upon all the people, the government has a moral right, regardless of words and phrases in contracts, to insist that all citizens be given an opportunity to work without discrimination because of race, color or creed.
No mention is made in Mr. Slattery's letter of the exclusion of Negroes from residence in Boulder City, Nev. and the N.A.A.C.P. reply states:
"Here is a city, built by the United States government with federal funds, and the government itself has either promulgated or permitted to be promulgated the edict that no colored American reside within the city limits. This is a shameful condition and one about which we cannot understand the government wishing to remain silent." In the same mail with Mr. Slattery's letter the N.A.A.C.P. received a letter from Las Vegas. New stating that a total of ten colored men are employed at the dam, nine by the Six Companies and one by another construction firm. About 2,000 men are at work on the dam.

Dear Sir:
The Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of. Washington and Vicinity, representing one hundred and forty-one Negro churches and a church-going public of more than eighty thousand in Washington, desires to call attention to your speech on the occasion of the testimonial banquet tendered to the Washington baseball team last Monday evening.
Ministers of the alliance and a large number of the patrons of the broadcasting station heard your speech, in which you deliberately included a number of unveiled insults and insulting references to the Negro race.
These insults, inappropriately disguised as humor, we are convinced, detracted materially from the dignity of an occasion in which all the citizens of every race in the community share with a high sense of civic pride and sportsmanship.
We, on our own behalf, resent these insults, as well as on the behalf of an intelligent, decent and justice-loving part of the community, and of such of the citizenry in our whole country.
Already members of the local community have protested to their ministers against your remarks, which have outraged, as they rightly feel, the proprieties, dignities and decencies of twelve million Negroes in the country, of one hundred and thirty-two thousand and Negroes in Washington, and of a large number of American citizens of other races.
It is unfortunate that, as a high official of our government, many people have interpreted your remarks, not only as your personal estimate of one-terth of the American citizenry, but a revaluation of the estimate of the Department of the Treasury and your political party.
There are thousands of Negro who are patrons of WMAL broadcasting station, and a number of Negro artists of this community have been heard from that station. In the face of all this, I was unfair for a public servant, on an occasion of such civic importance, to use the facilities of the air to hurt the pride and self-respect of the listening public.
If we are mistaken in the interpretation of your remarks, and of your personal attitude, as revealed by these remarks, we would be happy to have you correct us.
Sincerely yours,
The Inter-Denominational Ministers' Alliance. The Committee:

Dear Mr. President:
Last evening the program of the reception given in honor of the Washington Baseball Club, and held at the Occidental Restaurant, was 1.50cad over station WMAL. Among the speakers was the Ho. W. L. Roberts, assistant secretary of the Treasury.
To my great surprise, in the course of his address, Mr. Roberts grossly insulted his listeners by using the term "nigger" in referring. I judge, to members of the Negro race, Furthermore, Mr. Roberts indulged in such unrestrained obscenity, that it was necessary for the broadcasting company to cut into the program in order to prevent offending the fined sensibilities of his radio audience.
I do believe that no public servant should be free to engage in oppression and indecenties which offend the ear of the country at large. Mr. Roberts owes the Negro race and the nation an apology, and has done no credit to the department, of the government with which he is actively identified.
With high esteem, I am RICHARD HURST HILL.

CODE VIOLATIONS CITED IN REPORT TO NRA OFFICERS
Urban League Says Atlanta Firm Intimidates Negroes in Its Employ
Urban League secretaries continued their attack last week on code violations affecting Negro workers throughout the country. Beginning with the national office, with T. Arnold Hill established at Washington, secretaries in St. Louis, Atlanta, Omaha, and Chicago are exposing flagrant violations of the code in a determined effort to protect the interest of Negro workers.
It was learned by the Urban League of Atlanta, that the Scripto Manufacturing Company which is flying the Blue Eagle is guilty of direct violation of the code in regard to Negro workers. The Scripo Company employs over one hundred Negroes and pays them six cents an hour and they are advanced to thirteen cents an hour for a forty-hour week. Examination of a pay envelope for two weeks' work revealed the total pay for that period to be $12.65. In addition, this company placed the following notation in the pay envelopes:
To an colored employees:
"The wages you are paid now are more than this company can pay and stay in business unless each worker produces more. While we pay you more per hour than we paid you in 1929, our competitors in the North pay their white help only 70 per cent of what they paid them in 1929.
"If the 'false friends' of the colored people do not stop their propaganda about paying the same wages to colored and white employees this company will be forced to move, the factory to a section where the minimum wage will produce the greatest production.
"This company does not base its wages on color but entirely on efficiency. We pay twice as much wages to some white employees as to others because they are twice as efficient.
"Our records show that the efficiency of colored help is only 50 per cent of that of white help in similar plants in the North. The Scripto Manufacturing Company has lost a quarter million dollars in finding that out.
"Stop your 'friends' from talking you out of your job.
Scripto Manufacturing Co." This is intimidation of the worst kind, and in answer, the Urban League, through T. Arnold Hill, has brought these violations to the attention of the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Commerce, the National Recovery Administration, Edward F. McGrady, and Senator Robert F. Wagner.
Terrell Junior High
Noah Francis Ryder entertained the assembly at Terrell Junior High School last Friday afternoon with a program of classical and sentimental piano selections. The pupils showed their appreciation of the performance by prolonged applause. Mr. Ryder is a member of a prominent musical family in Cincinnati and a student in instrumentation at Hampton Institute. He was presented by the committee on assemblies through Mr. Walter N. Ridley. Terrell is the first junior high school in Washington to include in its curriculum a practical course in Home Management. This course is being supervised by Mrs. M. R. Avelle who has planned the care of the new four-room apartment on the third floor as the practical side of the study.
Pupils and teachers of the Woodwork, Fine-Arts and Home Economics departments are working on a project which aims to furnish and run the school apartment economically without sacrificing the beauty of line, color, and quality.
As a result of the continued efforts Miss Chase, the principal Terrell pupils now have the nucleus of a school library for their use. Some of the new books include the "New International Encyclopedia," "The Papecant of America," Lincoln Library of Essential Information, World Atlas, the World Almanac of 1933, and many other books for supplementary reading. Members of the Honor Society, under the direction of Mrs. P. H. Martinand and Mrs. A. M. Tyson, are making plans for the circulation of books and periodicals.

workers and 40 per week for female workers.
The wage scale calls for rates of 28 cents per hour to such employees as do not fall under the classifications of bellmen, porters, waiters and waitresses, hotel barber shop employees and hotel beauty shop employees. The minimum is for a substantial small percentage of all hotel employees.
According to this scale the wage would amount to $15.12 per week, females, in cities of more than 500,000 inhabitants, with deductions of $2.50 per week for meals, which leaves $12.62 per week upon which male workers must live and have the necessities of life, with 54 hours of work per week.
More Employees Negroes
Statistics were cited to show that in January, 1931, 17.7 per cent of all hotel employees were whites; under the domestic and personal service headings, while 30.7 per cent were Negroes. The Committee stated that hotels could change their rates to patrons without losing their business, since their business was of a different nature from the majority of the other businesses being coded.
Under the proposed wage scale the Committee showed that the yearly pay of a hotel worker in New York City would be $786.24 for males, deducting $130.00 for meals would leave $656.24 with which he must live. The rent, food, and clothes situation in highly urbanized centers was also brought in. The Committee pointed out that in Harlem, room rent was $3 per room per month more, yet Negro workers had to pay the same for other necessities as whites. A similar scale prevailed in those areas where the rates were ranged from 23 to 27 cents per hour, less the $2.50 per week for meals. A woman's pay for a year would be $648.96, with the meal deduction bringing it down to $518.96 per year. From this clothes, fuel, rent, and other necessities for the year must come.
Flays South
Bishop Jones flayed the exemption rate which permits reductions below the standard scale in certain districts, mainly the South. In Alabama, Arkansas, The District of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, a reduction of 20 per cent below the standard may be applied to salaries paid. Another sub-section of this clause provides for ten per cent reductions in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. The Joint Committee insisted that such differentials cannot be accurately based on any valid argument that the cost of living is lower here than elsewhere, and stated that in certain sections the cost of living was actually higher than in others.
As for Washington, the Committee pointed out that hotels even now are enjoying capacity patronage due to the heavy influx of visitors to the code hearings, yet the proposed code orders a wage scale for the District of Columbia of $608.32 per year for males, at $11.66 per week for 54 hours of work, and $469.04 per year for females, at $9.02 per week for 48 hours work. These salaries are subjected to the $2.50 per week meal duction, leavi $476.32 per year for males, and $339.04 per year for females.
1,622 Cooks Here
In Washington, D.C., there were listed 1,622 Negro cooks, or 78 per cent of the total in the District, while 2,139 other servants were Negroes, comprising 80 per cent of the total. These are some of the workers who are affected by the code.
Bellhops, waiters, waitresses, hotel barber shop employees and hotel beauty shop employees are to have a wage scale adjusted by the rates which they received in 1929, but the Joint Committee protested this, because of the fact that great difficulty would be faced in determining the wage rate paid each individual employee in 1929. The brief then urged that the minimum rate of pay for workers be not less than 35 cents per hour, with the necessary modifications needed to make the code practical.
The Committee will appear next week at the hearing on the code for the cleaning and dyeing industry. Meanwhile, Miss Williams is here to look over the situation, with reward to the attitude to be taken by he Y.W.C.A., and its various branches.

2 PICKETS ARRESTED
(Continued from page 1)
refused to hire colored clerks.
Permit Refused
The arrest of Ferguson and Ward was made by Sergeant Johnson and Private E. K. O'Brien, of No. 2. The two did not put up a protest but climbed into the patrol. At the precinct station other members of the Alliance gathered and the young men were released.
Later Attorney Belford V. Lawson, of the Alliance, tried to secure a permit from the District Building for the pickets, but the permit was refused. In a statement to The Tribune Mr. Lawson said that his organization will continue to carry on the fight and extend its activities to the A&P. Store in the 2700 block of Eleventh Street.
"Our, fight on the Ninth Street store is completed if a Negro clerk is working there," Mr. Lawson said.
Gril Fight Successful
Captain Pierson, of No. 2 Precinct, stated that his office had been besieged with telephone calls from the time the picketing started. He refused to state who instigated the arrest of the pickets, but Mr. Lawson said that no doubt A.& P. officials caused the arrest.
The Alliance came into prominence recently when it forced a white hamburger grill on U Street to rehire three colored boys who had been discharged and replaced by whites. This grill was in an exclusive Negro neighborhood.
The entire neighborhood in the vicinity of the Ninth Street store has been surveyed and patrons of the store told to trade where they could work. The Alliance is composed of young college men and has set out to force businesses in colored sections to employ colored in other menial positions.
SELECTION OF NEGRO
(Continued from page 1) Department of Commerce, a movement toward a closer co-operation between this department and the colored people. "The Department of Commerce," he continued, "was instituted to encourage, foster and develop business, and with your interests and welfare in mind, I invited a committee of capable and experienced colored leaders to confer with me on the best methods of solving problems bearing upon Negro business conditions.
"It is my thought that this committee will serve as a clearing houses on matters relating to your problems, and I shall, with the committee's assistance, select a man of your race who will be located in the Department of Commerce. He will be charged with the responsibility of making business and commercial studies concerning the Negro's economic problems and their relationship to our national economic program.
"Through this set-up," the Commerce secretary proceeded, "we hope to develop plans to help the colored business men to better understand and accept the highest American standards and practices of business and commerce. I interpret it as my patriotic duty to assist those groups of business people in poorer circumstances to gain the efficiency and advantages of those who are in better circumstances. In this, I am endeavoring to express the spirit of the 'New Deal'—the spirit of he 'Square Deal' as it is interpreted and practiced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt."
The speaker continued, "In relation to these opportunities which are facing you today, I would recommend your renewed consideration of the program by your great leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington. He advocated as one of your worstest ideals the fact that the Negro has as much right to cultivate race pride as has any other people. According to his contention, supported in my opinion by sound reason, the Negro should take special pride in his accomplishments, and so encourage patriotism, loyalty, tolerance and a balanced philosophy of life that his helpfulness to humanity will make him as proud of being a Negro as the Anglo-Saxon, through his accomplishments, is proud of being a white man."
In conclusion Mr. Rope said: "In the 70 years since your emancipation, your people have created a heritage of enriched characteristics and racial accomplishments that should provide a great inspiration for meeting your problems of today and planning for your attainments of tomorrow. "The United States government guarantees to you the inducible right to the "bursuit of life, liberty and happiness." It is under this flag that you secured your emancipation. This should be a symbol of the American ideal of freedom and of the increasing opportunities for you and for all under the guiding principles of the Constitution of the United States."
The Civil Service Reinstatement League, organized for the purpose of assisting dismissed Government employees who suffered under the economy Act, and "Married Persons Clause," will hold a mass mea-ning, Monday night, at the Fulton Temple Building, 1012 Ninth Street, Northwest.
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Mrs.
MRS. ROSCOE C. BRUCE
Mrs. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, New York, recently took issue with a New York daily paper for using the term "darky" in referring to Negroes. Some of the points she brought out in the controversy follow:
"In point of fact, 'darky' is slang. So are 'wop', 'sheeny', etc.
"Moreover, the Jew resents being termed a 'sheeny', the Italian resents being called a 'wop'; and in exactly the same way and for exactly the same reasons the Negro resents being called a 'darky'. This reaction is evidence of self-respect on the part of free American citizens.
"I have a most kindly and friendly feeling toward my dog, but nevertheless my attitude toward the poor brute is fundamentally different from my attitude toward a person. Now, it is probable that the American Negro represents the application to him by any white man of the word 'darky' because he senses the implication that the white man is thinking of him as perhaps superior to the dog but still below the level of human personality."
CLERK JOBS DEMANDED
(Continued from page 1)
The A and P Store in the 2700 block of Eleventh Street, Northwest, will be the next one in line for colored clerks, the council announced. A recent survey disclosed that 267 families in the neighborhood spent a total of $1,107.45 each week at this store. There were 969 persons represented in the survey. It was also pointed out that 90 per cent of the trade at the store is colored, and of the four white families in the neighborhood, three were in sympathy with the movement and agreed to lend their support to placing colored clerks in the store. One of the white persons interviewed was an ex-congressman who stated that he would use his influence to help place Negro clerks in the store.
Fail to Answer Letter
Last week the Alliance sent A and P officials a registered letter stating that it had waited a reasonable length of time for a reply to the demands for Negro clerks in stores largely supported by colored. No reply has been received from this last letter. Dr. Joseph Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, and prominent political figure in the Democratic party, was the principal speaker at Saturday's meeting. Dr. Johnson stated that a similar fight was instituted in his city some time ago and as a result Negroes were employed in A and P Stores. He said that two colored men were hired as managers in the chain stores in Columbus. J. Aubrey Davis, administrator of the Alliance, left Sunday for the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Wis., where he is to enter school. Franklin Thorne was elected to succeed him.
Black List False
A protest was lodged with the Alliance by The Tribune that an unauthorized person was approaching white businesses and claiming that the newspaper was to publish a blacklist of merchants who refused to hire colored help. An investigation by the organization revealed that the identity of the person making the false assertion had been learned and he had been warned to stop. Several reports of unjust dismissals in several downtown white stores of colored employees were investigated by the Alliance and it was found that the reports were without foundation. The organization plans to give a benefit dance on October 6 at the Masonic Temple.
Funeral services for Norman Richardson, Sr., 62, of Berwyn Md., who died at Casulty Hospital from burns received. August 31, when his begclothes caught fire from a cigarette, were held from the McGurke Funeral Home, Sunday afternoon.

SOUTHERN WHITES PREFER CAB TO PADEREWSKI
White Newspaper Points
Out Thousands Packed
Hall to Hear Jazz
By SAMUEL TICE
RALEIGH, N.C.—(ANP)—Music, especially that type ascribed to Negroes, does more than soothe the savage beast, if one is to give any weight to an editorial appearing in a local daily this week. One must hereafter conclude that jazz and blues, connected by the race which the southern white degrines and fears, have become a measure for the culture of lynchers and other types of race-haters.
Not long ago, word reached here that when a Negro jazz band played in Louisville, the whites were so eager to enjoy the music that they danced on the same floor with Negroes. One might grant that that must have been the most potent music played that night that the world has ever heard.
White Culture
The editor of the local daily is struck by an editorial in the Chattanooga, Tenn. Daily News in a comment on white culture in Tennessee. The Chattanooga editor writes:
"Paderewski drew a corporal's guard to the Memorial auditorium. The best plays on tour hardly attract enough patrons there to fill ten rows of seats. There is no longer any attempt to bring good lecturers there. Opie Read's delightful talk recently was, therefore, sent to the auditorium of the city high school. A handful of people came, and the meeting was adjourned to a small room upstairs.
Blanche Drew 5.000
"Blanche Calloway, Negro jazz blues, singer, and her orchestras appeared at the auditorium last night; ; ad we are informed that 2,500 white people and 2,500 colored people crowded the building. "Our struggling young American musical students, apparently would do well to 'finish' their education in Harlem."
"The Greensboro Record," comments the editor of the News and Observer, local daily newspaper, "declares that the conditions in Chattanooga, as pictured above, 'are typical, more or less, of Greensboro, and perhaps of most of the other cities and towns over the country as a whole.' Certainly they are true of Raleigh. The fine new Memorial Auditorium here was packed to the doors for Blanche Calloway's brother Cab and his jazzers. It has never been packed by any musical artist of great talent.
Both Did Good Job
"This is not to deny the fact that both Blanche and Cab do a good job at their own brand of music. This is not a suggestion that it is a cultural sin to delight in the louder and simpler rhythms of jazz. But a community which feeds upon jazz alone is apt to be both as immature culturally and as in danger of cultural malnutrition as a child whose diet is confined entirely to lollipops."
Apparently the Chattanooga editor, when he made his reference to Harlem, was unaware that some distinguished American composers do 'finish' their education in Harlem, George Gershwin being an example.
DELEGATION PROTESTS
(Continued from page 1)
tion that he regretted the incident and his staff had been instructed to cut off any speaker on a N.B.C. station who used the word "nigger." He also stated that the manager in charge of the broadcast at the stag warned each speaker that the program was on the air, but Roberts ignored this warning.
Regretted Happening
A young boy who was in the studio of WMAL, which station carried the broadcast, "Taped" Roberts, cut when the offensive story was told. Mr. Russell said. Although this is a violation on the part of the youth, the boy was praised for the act. The station manager was unable to reach the wires to cut Roberts off as he was across the room from the wires in the banquet hall. Mr. Russell said the affair was the most "unfortunate thing to ever happen" and he assured the delegation that it is not the policy of the N.B.C. management to permit such insults to its patrons.
Letter Sent to Roberta
Mr. Russell accused the delegation that he was in sympathy with the delegation and the Negro race in the matter and apologized for the land story told by a member of the President's official family.

ORDERS PROBE OF SECOND LYNCHING
Man Out on Bond is Shot to Death by Mob of White Men
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—The second lynching in Tuscaloosa County within the rast six weeks was under investigation by the sheriff's office this week. Sheriff Shamblin ordered the inquiry after Dennis Cross under bound of a charge of assaulting a white woman, was taken from his home by men nosing as officers and shot to death. The sheriff said he was told the group of six or seven men appeared at the man's home and told Cross it was necessary for him to go to Tuscaloosa and post a bond larger than that required when he was released on bail a seek ago.
The slaying of Cross followed by six weeks to the day the lynching of Dan Pippe, Jr., and A. T. Harder, under indictment of a charge of murdering the daughter of a Tuccalcoa County farmer. Pippe and Harder were killed and Elmore Clark, another man, was wounded by a group of masked men who seized the prisoners from Tuscaloosa County officers hurrying them to Birmingham for safe-keeping.

Servants Seek Code
CLEVELAND, Ohio.—(ANP)—According to an Associated Press dispatch, the white folk who cook the meals and make the beds for Cleveland's "four hundred," want to see some changes made and are organizing to seek betterment under the system of codes.

NEW YORK—Damages of $400 were awarded a party of four people here Tuesday by a jury in municipal court for discrimination suffered by them at the hands of the Prince George Hotel here on September 2, 1932.
The winners in the suit were Dr. B. Price Hurst, Wanington physician; his mother, Mrs. Bertha Hurst, widow o Bishop John Hurst, Baltimoreo; Dr. Hurst's son, John Hurst, 2nd; and Dr. J. E. H. Taylor, Washington surgeon.
On the morning of September 2, last year Dr. Hurst and his party were leaving Montreal by motor car and wired the Prince George for two rooms for that night, asking the hotel to wire a reply to Albany.
The hotel wired Albany stating two rooms had been reserved and thanking Dr. Hurst for his patronage. When the party reached New York City about 1 a.m. the hotel clerk, without looking up the reservation, said abruptly there was no such reservation and the party could not be accommodated. Suits were filed in the name of each person in the party and the N.A.A.C.P. secured Allen Hays, cousin of Arthur Garfield Hays, and Henry Van Veer as counsel.
On H. U. Faculty
The hotel's main defege was that reservations not called for by "about 11 p.m." were cancelled. The plaintiffs produced a surprise witness who had reserved a room by telegraph from Newark, N.J., September 16, and who claimed it at 1:05 a.m. and was cheerfully accommodated.
Dr. Hurst is a graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Medical College, is an x-ray expert, a member of the Howard University medical faculty and the staff of Freedmen's Hospital in Washington.

Delegation Seeks Information Relative to Picketing of NRA Slackers
Associated Negro Press
Declaring that the labor clauses of the NRA are vague and subject to many confusing interpretations and that employers "acting evidently on what they believe to be the administration's policies" deny the rights of workers to strike and picket establishments under a code, a delegation representing liberal, radical, and labor groups, Tuesday, urged President Roosevelt to clarify the administration's attitude by an immediate declaration regarding the elementary rights of workers to organize and select their own representatives," to assemble, strike, and picket without police interference or arbitrary arrest.
The delegates were made up of members from the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Labor's Committee on Unemployment, and the Trade Union Unity League. A memorial was presented, signed by the delegation, Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, and Louis Boudin, attorney. In elaborating the various points urged on the President, the memorial declared that political beliefs or sympathies of workers should not affect their rights. Discrimination in unions against minority groups such as that against Negroes in some railway brotherhood unions and a number of A.F. of L. Unions might be eliminated, according to the delegation, by refusing to grant the unions in the industrys' code exclusive representation of the workers.

Two More Murdered in Scottsboro Trial Town
DECATUR, Ala.—The bodies of two murdered Negroes were found on the railroad track near here Monday. One of them were identified as Herbert Cohn, 29, of Trinity.
A coroner's jury announced they had been murdered "by persons unknown and made no effort to discover their murderers. Coronor Brown announced his belief they were murdered elsewhere and their bodies carried to the track.
A lynch spirit has been incited here in preparation for the Scottshore trials, resulting in the known lynching of James Royal, a Negro boy, and a lynch verdict of death against Thomas Brown, Negro worker framed on crude "rape" charges.
A Grand Jury supposed to "investigate" the lynching of Royal has recused until October 2 without making any announcement of findings.

LAWYER SAVES CLIENT FROM COMMITMENT
With the threat of fifteen days' imprisonment hanging over him upon complaint of his wife for arrears due on his alimony, Floyd A.

The Herndons were married on December 15, 1915, in Baltimore, and have two boys, Floyd A., and Elmer J., approximately 10 and 9 years of age, respectively. Their domestic trouble first reached the courts on August 9, when Mrs. Herndon sued for a limited divorce, alleging desertion

BEST. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Skating Clubs Become
By VIVIAN TURNER
. As the seasons change, so do the fads among the sociéty people.
Social leaders have found a new pastime for these early fall evenings.
One is not counted ultra unless he or she has procured a pair of
skates, donned a swanky sport outfit and joined a ee club, Drive
around various congregating spots and see men and women, young
and old, fat and thin, professional and non-professional, rubbidg el-
bows in the most popular sport of the season, Some say it reduces
and give that as an excuse for so indulging; others say it makes them
gain, while still others praise it as a sport, offering a much desired
change fom the day's routine. Those whe have delayed jumping on
the band wagon must take courage and join the happy throng—that
is, if you wish to retain a place in the social whirl.
Many new feces and personalities are being introduced among
Washingtonians this week as Huward University initiates its fresh-
men, Old students who have been able to survive during the summer
months are beginning to put in their appearance, Thus eack week

Now that autumn is here, the club season has arrived. Every hostess hopes to find something new or different to offer her guests—something tasty and economical.
Following are some miscellaneous recipes that I have tried, and found pleasing. By all means try the homemade sauerkraut, chili con carne, or dutch meat balls.
Either of the above may be served with toast, biscuits, or crackers; tea, coffee, chocolate or beer.
How to Make Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a good canned product to have around, but few know how to prepare it simply, yet delectably.
Wash and shred firm white cabbage. Put a teaspoon of salt in each jar. Add cold water and turn the lids about half way, but don't seal them.
Let the jars stand to ferment about two weeks. At the end of which time the cabbage should be

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to wash fine drapes, hangings and furniture slip covers without danger of injury to the fabric or of fading, by exercising reasonable care and by following the suggestions listed below:
1. Shake dust out thoroughly.
2. Make tepid or cool suds, using mild, pure, white soap or flakes. Never use home-made soap. Avoid boiling and hard rubbing.
3. Lace curtains may be safely soaked. For colored fabrics use a second suds if dirt is stubborn.
4. Wash by gently swirling around and squeezing suds through the article. If washed by machine, run only a few minutes, change suds, and run a few minutes longer.
5. Use lukewarm rinsings, squeezing as dry as possible without wringing.
6. Hang smoothly on line to prevent wrinkles and streaks. Colored fabrics should be hung in shade.
7. Iron while uniformly damp with medium hot iron. Silks should be ironed in one direction only and it is best to allow natural silk to dry copletely before ironing.

TO PEEL THE FACE
If you have unusually freckles or coarse dark rough skin, a mild face peel would be beneficial. Try this mixture:
Powdered mustard, 1 tablespoon; oil of almonds, 1 teaspoon; and enough lemon juice to make a paste. Apply nightly and in the morning until the skin gets sensitive, then stop.
Try a pound this week-you will enjoy it. Selected by experts, we blend and roast our Coffees to your taste, and you can save money, too. It pays to shop-
The outer skin will soon loosen and peel. Keep the skin well creamed after peeling.

Mrs. Ruth S. Lewis Protests Civil Service Color Bar
EIGHT
SEES COLOR BAR IN CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENT
Third Woman Within Two Weeks Claims Color Kept Her from Job
A third alleged attempt in two weeks to bar colored people from civil service positions because of their color was brought to the attention of The Tribune Monday when Mrs. Ruth Scott Lewis, 1804 First Street, reported that she was told to appear for an appointment and then refused the job on account of her color. Mrs. Lewis stated to a reporter that she passed an examination some time ago for tabulating machine operator and received a rating of 95 per cent and was ninth on the list. She was sent a communication to report for work last July 3 at the Library Stock Room, Agriculture Building.
Others Appointed
When she presented herself she was told that the position had been filled. Since that time she claims that several operators have been appointed who were lower on the list and had poorer passing averages.
For the past several months she has been trying to find out why she was not appointed after being called, but each official of the commission has passed the buck from one to another. She has appealed to several members of Congress, but none has been able to help her, G. David Houston, a class mate of the President and principal of Armstrong High School, has become interested in her case and has promised to help her.
Delegation Protests
A delegation consisting of Attorney T. J. Houston and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton called at the office of Bertran Brade, white, civil service officer who told them that his job was that of certifying officer and he could do nothing in the matter.
Mrs. Marjorie Jeffries, Howard Manor Apartment, and Mrs. Vashi Cook, wife of a Howard professor, m with similar refusal within the last two weeks, but were later appointed when the Tribune lodged a protest with civil service officials.
ATLANTA COURT FREES WHITE KILLER OF BLIND MAN
Benjamin J. Davis and John H. Greer Retained to Push Prosecution of Cop
ATLANTA, Ga. — Charges of murder laid against Policeman O. W. Allen by Ollie Davis, Negro worker, whose blind brother, Glover, was shot down in cold blood by the officer, were dismissed in court Monday.
The court held that Allen shot the blind man "in self defense."
the bishop man in self defense.
This was the first time in the South that a police officer had been formally charged with murder for the killing of a Negro.
A United Front Prosecution Committee, formed to push the prosecution with application of the death penalty for Allen, announced that it would continue its work in spite of the court decision, and seek every means to re-open the case.
Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., and John H. Greer, young Negro attorneys who are carrying on the defense of Angelo Herndon for the International Labor Defense, have been retained by the committee to push the prosecution of Policeman Allen.
Demanding the death penalty for all lynchers, the International Labor Defense is supporting the prosecution, and calling on all districts, sections, and branches, and all systematic organizations and individuals in all parts of the country to demand the arrest and prosecution with the death penalty for Policeman Allen.
Funds to be Raised
Funds to assist in the expenses of the prosecution, which officials are attempting to block in every way, should be sent to Greer and Davis, 250 Auburn Avenue, North, Atlanta, Ga.
Davis, a chair mender, who has been stone blind for 20 years, was murdered August 3. On that day he became embroiled with a woman for whom he was doing some work, and who had taken a dollar away from him. Policeman Allen burst into the room and put two bullets into him before he could say a word. The defense he made was that he shot in self defense. He said the blind man was advancing on him with an ice pick, and he had to shoot.
Telegrams and resolutions supporting the prosecution and demanding the death penalty for Allen should be sent to Governor Eugene Talmadge, Mayor James L. Key, and Chief of Police T. O. Sturdiyan, at Atlanta, Georgia.
Where do you spend your money? Surely it is a matter of no little moment that the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company in Chicago sent a request to the Cook County Bureau of Public Welfare for "young WHITE men between the ages of 18 and 24 with high school education." They specified "young white men" for employment but said nothing about the color of the hands releasing the "dough" over the counter. In Washington, the New Negro Alliance is contending for Negro employees as clerks in the A and P stores operated by the same chain.
DEAR OLD SOUTHLAND
We learn from Atlanta, Georgia, that Tammes Pope, disabled world war veteran, Negro and unemployed, has just been sentenced to thirty days in Atlanta jail, and for no reason at all!
Last Friday Pope left his home to see his sick wife who had a new baby in Grady Hospital. Having no one to care for his two small children, he left them at home, locking the doors to keep them out of the streets. He only intended to be gone a few minutes.
On his way to Grady Hospital Pope saw a Negro and white man whose cars had run together. The white man was beating and abusing the Negro in a brutal manne. Wishing to settle the fight and not wishing to see a Negro beaten so mercilessly, Pope went up and asked the white man to quit beating the Negro. "I wouldn't beat him like that," he said. The white man, full of rage, turned his curses and abuses upon Pope.
Just then a policeman came up. The white man was not bothered. Pope was arrested and carried to jail. At the jail he begged *he officials to telephone or send someone to get a neighbor to care for his two little children left alone locked in the house. But curses and insults were all he received. What difference does it make if a "damned nigger's" kids die of thirst or hunger anyhow? It was not until next day at five o'clock that a neighbor woman, hearing the screams of the children, got to them with food and water. They had been there one night and a day and a half without any care.
Hailed before the court, Pope pleaded his innocence and received from the "nigger hating" judge these words: "I fine him $27.00 or thirty days. He's one of them damn smart niggers anyhow. I saw him with his soldier's uniform on down at the mass funeral." (Protest funeral for Glover Davis, blind Negro, recently murdered by police.)
Being unemployed and broke, this disabled war veteran is serving the thirty days fine. Learning of the disaster, his wife has taken a sudden turn for the worse and lies near the point of death in a charity ward with a young baby whose father has not the faintest possibility of supporting it. How can a man support his family when he is locked up?
This is believed to be part of the white ruling class' mighty effort to terrorize and scare the Negro and white workers, to keep them from uniting in a common struggle for their rights. As these black and white workers refused to be scared, the bosses are becoming more fierce and brutal in using their tools, the police and judges, in an attempt to beat the workers into subjection. But the workers are organizing. They are not intimidated! Entreat me not to leave thee — — "n'est pas?"
"Don't give up the ship.
In Los Angeles (Calif.) Mrs.
Janie Patterson, Lester Carter and
Richard B. Moore, on a Scottsboro
tour of the West, were entertained
at a banquet at the Elks Auditorium here on September 23. They also spoke in this city Sunday,
September 24, at the Plaza, and at the Hamilton M.E. Church.
Mrs. Patterson is the mother of Heywood Patterson, twice sentenced to die in the electric chair.
Lester Carter is a white witness for the defense in the Scottsboro case, and Richard B. Moore is a national executive committee member of the International Labor Defense.
Do we spend money on cars?
Believe it or not, we spent one million six hundred and seventy-nine dollars among Negro garages for repairs on old cars during 1929. What we spent elsewhere added to the above figures may cause us to think. Plenty of us own cars and can't pay our rent.
Hail, hail, the gang's all here—or what have we?
The radio audience—the New York division of it—was on hand to see the big NRA parade on Fifth Avenue last week, and when the C.B.S. contingent passed by they gave loud cheers for the Mills Brothers. Oddly enough, though, the Mills Brothers were not in the parade. They couldn't parade because they were out of town on a vaudeville engagement. The boys who were mistaken for them were the members of Luis Russell's Orchestra, who marched up the Avenue twelve abreast. Occasionally they received cheers for Duke Ellington or Cab Calloway. Only two people along the line of march recognized them as Luis Russell's Orchestra. But being an obliling
group of lads, they acknowledged all the cheers with great and pleasant smiles. One wonders if the lookers-on weren't a bit puzzled when their cheers for the four Mills Brothers were acknowledged by anywhere from six to twelve supposed Mills Brothers.
The other cheek—a la Birmingham.
Take a tip from Birmingham, Alabama, where stickers bearing in large type the words "Death to Lynchers!" have been placed on thousands of houses, store fronts, public buildings and telephone posts in this city.
In one week Birmingham has been plastered from end to end with these signs—a symbol of the anger of the masses against the wave of lynching and terror in Alabama.
How's this?
For forty years and more Sidney Jackson and his wife have lived and l-bored in Fayetteville, Arkansas, without making any headway. Their reward was to be in heaven. Jackson has been porter in a hotel barber shop and his wife has been a cook.
Tuesday Jackson received a message from officials at Keokuk, Iowa. They informed him that his aged mother, Mrs. Mary Frances Jackson, a former slave, had just died and that she had left a fortune o approximately $50,000 which he and a sister, Mrs. Daisy Watkins of Kansas City, Mo., were heirs to.
The Keokuk officials wrote Jackson that they had found more than $31,000 in cash in his mother's house, including 100 bills for $100 each, all more than 50 years old, and that the estate also included two unopened safety deposit boxes, two houses and lots in Keokuk, and other property.
"It took us an hour to count the money," they wrote.

SEGREGATION ACTS DENIED BY C.E. DELEGATE
Bishop Assails Assertion of Discrimination at C.E. Convention
CHICAGO (ANP)—In answer to the assertion made by J. Edward Mosely, in the July 26 issue of the Christian Century, a journal of religion, that "many Negroes," attending the recent International Christian Endeavor convention at Milwaukee, "were refused seats," Bishop Wm. J. Walls, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, offers a story discrediting the validity of Mr. Mosely's statement, in his letter to the editor which appears in the September 14 issue of the same publication.
"If Negroes were refused seats, I have been unable to find the Negroes who were so treated," replies the Bishop. "We stopped in the Schroeder Hotel where all the trustees lodged. No such report reached our attention, on the contrary it was observed that the Christian Endeavor was the most pronouncedly, interracially just of all interdenominational bodies. "For all these years Father Francis E. Clark and his successors have refused to hold a convention where Negroes are not accorded equal accommodation in the entertaining hotels and halls. This was carried out to the letter at Milwaukee, by Dr. Poling, Mr Sherwood and the staff, with the complete acquiescence of the trustees. The young people were always kind, and the southern delegates were for the most part noticeably so."
Theory and Facts
"Many theorize about race relations and fall down when they face members of another race on a platform or in a lunchroom after the discussion in conference is ended. Such theory was not the slot machine, hand-holding process at Milwaukee.
"They faced up and put Negroes on the programs, on the faculty, and placed them as chairman of groups, and all through the convention activities, except in the chorus, which was a local provision and a Negro man was pianist there. Several singing groups appeared, to say nothing of their part in the great convention parade.
"Young people are demanding less talk about race relations and more demonstration. That very thing was done at the International Christian Endeavor convention of 1933."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 28. 1933
My Column
By
TREZZVANT W. ANDERSON
Outside observers of the affairs of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company who say that "there is nothing left of the company to be salvaged" should read this: The present receivers, Clark and Bryan, in their own reports, state that the company has just $217,552.80 in cash—that is, currency, specie of the realm, coin, dough, or what have you?
That's something. The company holds clear, unencumbered, mortgages totaling $336,654.13, all secured by property which is safe. The company possesses bonds, valued at $200,000.00, even though, if sold now they would only bring around $30,000. The company has real estate valued, conservatively, at $432,271.11. Therefore, the salvage value of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, less bonds is exactly $986,478.04 now. Those are actual figure facts. Now, do you still think that this Negro business organization is not worth being fought for? Even to the last ditch? This pillar can give any curious persons the exact location of all afore-mentioned moneys and properties upon request.
There are those misinformed individuals who don't understand the object of the fight being made by the petitioners in this matter, and think it is all a "publicity stunt." Of course such things do happen, but suppose you listen to this:
The object of these petitioners is to save the assets of the present shell, and use them to form the credit background of a new company, a mutual company. To this end they have already been assigned the equities held by policyholders in their holdings, to be used in the new concern. Those who think the appeal has been wasted ought to be told that some definite result must be had, because it was filed with the Court of Appeals, and not with Justice O'Donoghue. But, this is a column, not a debate school.
We bow to John Prescott Davis in a correction for our remark anent the Negro Industrial League. The quiet came because the lads were so busy working that they didn't have time to inform the press fully of all their accomplishments. This is one time where I'm happy to doff the lid to the gentlemen, for after a personal perusal of the things they have done in the NRA situation during the past two weeks, I can come right back and tell you that they really have done something. And, instead of knocking on them, I wish to say that it is a pleasure to be corrected. Elsewhere in these pages you see this.
Up New York City way last week, Mrs. Sara Pelham Speaks, energetic daughter of Robert S. Pelham, of the C.N.S., did something new for New York politicians. Firstly, she captained up the election crews in the 22nd Assembly district, and promised her leaders that she would swing 26 of the 50 county committeemen into office. So well did she train her forces that she swung 41 instead of 26. She was working on the Republican ticket, opposing Samuel S. Koenig, G.O.P. power in New York City for years. You should know by now that Koenig was swept under.
Elks here will smile to hear that Ike Nutter in Atlantic City, last week, cleared a lady of first degree murder in exactly seven minutes. Was that speed?
We are bound to remark about the agility and spryness of Bob Pelham, of C.N.S., who will swing his 75th year on January 4, of next year, thus topping F.H.M. Murray, the best proof-reader in the race, by a hair or so. But "Pops" Murray can boast of something very few other Negroes can, and that is, he was born on the self same day that Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation .and, too, that "F" in his name, simply stands for "Freeman," his surname. Of course I could be more minute as to details, and say that "Pops" was the first "free-born" Negro in the United States but I haven't checked on the exact hour and minute. However, its close enough to risk, so we'll let it go at that.
Incidentally, this pillar needs a name. If anyone of you folks can suggest something, let us hear from you. I personally admit that it needs something else in it, also, but let's get a name first, and "all other things (including razzberry) shall be added unto it."
That loud noise which you will hear on October 1 will be the sounds of those government employees who will feel the ax-edge, on account of having married persons in the service.
Here's what we call "inside gossip." It is reliably rumored that Judge William C. Hueston, popular Elk, would have held one very high position in the Attorney General's office if he had not been stricken to death on that A.C.L. train early in April, returning from Cuba. Now here's what they are really driving at: Senator Tom Walsh, as you recall, was to have been Attorney General in the Roosevelt cabinet, and he had slated the general Judge for a swell job—but death intervened, and Walsh never reached the Cabinet post, and thus Judge Hueston was left out in the

rain, after having resigned his Post Office Solicitor-Generalship, "in order to be in the clear for the Walsh appointment," say the wise boys. Anyhow, it sure sounds plausible, and it certainly doesn't have the Brewington flavor.
The "I-told you-so's" have got together since Ed Henry swept the field in the Philly nominations last week. The wise guys again remark "I always said he have done that long ago..." As for me, I never did have any doubt about Ed Henry's sagacity, but there were times when I wondered about other things. It seems now that Judge Edward W. Henry will therefore retain his seat on the Quaker City bench, and here's hoping.
Honestly, folks, do you think I ought to keep writing this stuff, or should I shut up?
Gossip of the Movie Lots
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—John Larkin, featured player in many great films, had his versatility put to another test last week when for the first time since he took up motion picture work he was called upon to sing and dance, an act that made him famous on the vaudeville and musical comedy stage for a number of years.
Over a decade ago John travelled all over Europe and Australia as "Jolly John Larkin," a singing and dancing comedian, but of the many roles he has filled at the picture studios none of the manuscripts have called upon the character he has represented to do this.
In "Forever Faithful" now rapidly shooting at M.G.M. studio, an important sequence was made where John was one of 30 prisoners in jail. As the only one of the prisoners who could laugh at fate he sings a song then follows it with a dance. Richard Dix is star, and Chas. Brabin, director. At the same time he was offered a part with Edward G. Robinson at First National in "Dark Hazard," but refused it as the M.G.M. part was the most important, although his last work with Robinson had been in a good part in "Smart Money" and they were anxious to have him again. John was also recently finished a part in "Ann Vickers." His salary for "Forever Faithful" was said to have averaged $66.60 per day, which is not nearly as high a rate as he often receives.
"Hi Hat" Hattie McDaniels, sister of Deacon McDaniels, and radio headliner at KNX, has just returned from location in "A Weekend in Paradise," being filmed by the Sallint Picture Company. On the Mack Sennet lot, Work starts at once at the studio and the new film will be rushed through at once.
Hattie will also be doubling in the stage show "Show Boat" as she secured the coveted part of "Queenie" at the first rehearsal and casting at the Mayan Theatre, last Wednesday.

SHAW PRESIDENT
ENUNCIATES INSTITU
TION'3 IDEALS
RALEIGH, N.C.—The sixty-ninth annual session of Shaw University opened formally on last Monday with exercises in the university chapel at which President Wm. Stuart Nelson enunciated the purpose of the institution.
"Shaw University," he declared, "is not interested in being simply another institution of higher learning. While its place in the past is notable and secure its future place rests upon its creation of a program of distinction."

MINISTERS OPEN FALL ACTIVITIES
Alliance Conference Hears Dr. Marshall and Bishop Jones at Y.M.C.A.
A rather drab session of the Ministerial Alliance opened the fall activities of that organization with its initial meeting at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Tuesday, with the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, presiding.
Verbal condemnation of certain terms used by W. L. Roberts, assistant secretary of the Treasury, in a speech over a local station of the National Broadcasting Company's network, early this week was offered by Dr. C. Herbert Marshall, local physician, and was received with a mild show of enthusiasm by the attendant ministers. Immediately, however, a motion to have the conference secretary forward letters of protest to officials of the network and to the President of the United States.
Bishop E. D. W. Jones served as the principal speaker in the place of Dr. Howard Thurman, professor in theology at Howard University, who was unable to attend the conference because of a previous assignment at the school. Bishop Jones spoke on the relationship of the Negro to the NRA.
Devotions were led by the Rev. H. Threlkeld.

Chols Seys
And now for the good old column and news along U Street—and the new deal. Well, folks, it seems to me that the new deal is roller skates. Everybody am skating. Yes, siree, even the good Doc Stud Green am messing around. And did he fall? No, he just sat down to fix his skates. Oh, my!
And den dare am one other brother what am on skates. First he has a big Buick and den he has a Chever-ley and new he has a pair of skates, and so I thought I would interview that brother and he says, "Mr. Chols, if dese brothers don't pay me I is going to keep right on using these skates and—dear brother Chols, that means you, too. And that do settle it.
But there is one brother you cannot fool and that brother am Fess Daniels. He said, "Brother Chols, I ain't going to buy no skates until they start making yaller ones." But with me it am different, 'cause every since the man cut my salary I have been skating, and sometimes on thin ice. An de good Jim Dykes says he am goin' to buy a pair of skates and learn to spread the eagle. Be careful, son, you might not get it together again.
The President of the Black and White Circle, Incorpulated, ain't doing so good. He broke his arm doing the spread eagle—not the blue eagle. And when Mr. Chols got home there was Storm and Strife doing her number on skates right in the middle of the sidewalk.
And now let's get down by the old Casino, peep in the old bus and smoke the sargent-of-arms and the secretary and the two broads. Oh, boy, and the broads did not have roller skates. Nuf sed.
And Jonnie Smith am back home again. Hold what you got, son.
And the big one says you must come, over, and I says do, do, my huckleberry, do. you'll do me if I don't do you. So to make sure I don't get it worse you can bet you sweet life Mr. Chols will do you first.
Get the Black and White Check habit every Thursday night at the Murray Casino. And watch for the announcement for Fess Williams. And the old favorites, Freck and Dick, will start the Smarter Set in the very near future at the Casino. Good news, chillun, good news. And just in case you find a pair of skates to fit these Balls above just notify Mr. Chois.

EUGENE K. JONES
IS OPPOSED FOR
COMMERCE POST
The Progressive Democratic
Club this week opposed the selec-
tion of Eugene Kinckle Jones, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Urban
League, as a business or industrial
advisor for Negroes in the Depart-
ment of Commerce.
Mr. Jones's name was suggested
to Secretary of Commerce Daniel
C. Roper along with several others
by an advisory board composed of
Negroes.
Theodore S, Botts, president of
the club, wrote a letter to Secre-
tary Roper this week, opposing the
naming of Mr. Jones on the
grounds that he recently became
identified with the Democratic par-
ty after supporting the Republi
cans,
“We do not doubt the qualifica-
tion of the Republican Urban
League secretary, but we do ques-
tion his sincerity of interest in a
Democratic administration in that

to come to the front for Franklin
D. Rooseyelt for President. We are
still waiting for him to come to the

ing his car on the wrong side of
the street. Two unknown men
jumped from a taxi, with which he
had nearly collided, and struck him
several times, They had escaped
into the crowd which assembled be-

SCENT CAR FARE
SAVES PARENTS
HERE $389,649
Concrete facts to prove that
three-cent car fare for school chil-
dren is an invaluable contribution
to public education in the District
of Columbia, and a real economic
blessing in these trying times of
unemployment and depression were
contained, early this week, in let-
ters sent by J. C. Wright, the
“Pather of Three-Cent Car Fare,”
to , prominent public officials in
Washington, Copies were forward
ed to chairmen of the House and
Senate District Committees, re-
spectively; to the members of the
board of education and other pub-
lie school officials.
A saving to District parents,
both colored and white, was con-
rervatively estimated at $354,649
‘by Mr. Wright.
Act Approved in 1931
‘The act to provide for the trans-
portation of school children in th
istrict under 18 years of age at a
reduced fare was approved Feb-
tuary 25, 1981; and by ofder of the
Public Utilities Commission, the
three-cent fare for public, private
and parochial school children be-
came effective March 10, 1931.
‘Thus, three-cent car fare has been
in operation for two and a half
years.
Records of the Public Utilities
Commission show that the street
railway and, bus companies oper-
ating within the District sold 8,
463,174 school fares ‘at a cost of
$253,013 during this period. Uni
der ‘the regular streat car token
fare and 10-cent bus "fare, it would
Have gost school childven ingolved
$688,562 to ride to and from school,
The difference of $284,649 between
the régular fare and the three-cent
schol rate represents “a much
needed) saving to self-sacrificin,
parents,” an Mir. Wright, set forth
in his communications, ,
* Originated Plan
Mr. Wright, local high schoo
teacher for over 80 years, is. the
anly District teacher who has tak:
en his own time, money and efforts
to put over a project which, inci-
dentally has been a great financial
ald to thousands of District pa-
rents, colored and white, rich ot
poor, and regardless of religious
attitudes. He originated the plan
in 1920, and sponsored the project
to the end at considerable expendi-
tute of his money, time and ef-
forts.
Mr, Wright has the distinction
of being the first and only teaches
in America to win the Underwood
diamond medal, ‘The award was
made for training his pupil, Cortes
W. Peters, to win the Underwood
student’s diamond medal for typing
109 net words a minute for thirty
minutes. Under Mr. Wright's
coaching Mr. Peters also won the
world’s amateur typing champion-
ship in 1925 when he wrote 119 net
five-stroke words a minute, writing
for thirty minutes from unfamiliar

A COLORED NUDIST COLONY -
SO WHAT NEXT?
Aumor has reached the writer
that a nudist colony for Negroes
is to be established somewhere in
the secluded precincts of up-state
New York. Skeptical as I am to
all and sundry rumors of like na.
ture, I am thoroughly cognizant of
the ‘peculiar imitative talents of
our group.
In characteristic _ monkey - like
fashion our sepian family usually
has the well known tendency of
“going big” for new “fads” and
novel “creations” that are current-
ly introduced by members of the
Nordic race. The nudist colony
project (for project it really. is)
seems headed for an extended
sway of popularity in this fad.
erazed country of ours,
For the sake of argument let us
closely examine the benefits, if any.
to be derived from attending such
a place as a nudist colony.
Nudism traces its origin as a
movement to the vigorous and sun-
loving German. people. Possibly
the most essential part of the Ger-
man nudists’ program is sun bath-
ing. They believe that contact of
the skin with the air stimulates
metabolism anc thus promotes ap-
petite, aids disgestion, increases
heart action, strengthens the heart
muscle, and raises general resis-
tance, E
These are the benefits to be de-
rived from becoming one of the
followers of the nudist cult, ‘The
greatest drawback to be faced by
advocates of this _ultra-radica!
movement is the torrent of criti-
cism and abuse that has been hurl-
ed upon cult-leaders for sponsoring
a system that proposes to have
men and women “gallavant” a.
round in green pastures—eomplete-
ly bereft of apparel and habitat. ,
If society can adapt itself to fae-
ing this problen without enter-
taining thoughts of “demoralizing
standards” and “shocking exhibi-
tions”—nudism would inevitably
become a fixture in the daily exis-
tence of the average American citi-
zen. But what about Negroes
| adapting themselves. to such
movement? Your guess is as good
as mine. Perhaps some free and
courageous soul will take the in-
itiative and set the pace by estab-
lishing such camps for Negroes.
And then perhaps in characteristic
monkey-like fashion we, too, wil
become faithful worshippers of the
‘sun god. ies

correct you regarding a statement

In said statement you wrote that

all, give me credit for having one

Negro life abroad. And a more
interesting and illuminating talk
has never been made to a group of
hard-boiled cynical, newsvaper mer
than that of Dr. MeMillan’s. Among
things he told us:
That Germany does have certair
prejudices against the Negro, bu
that it has a different method of
showing them than that which pre-
vails in America, ‘That Frenc!
people regard Negroes in a cynical
light, but don’t tread on their toes
because of that. ‘That social rela-

and the Negroes is on a higher
plane than any he had ever ob-
served before. That the German
treats the Negro as a gentleman,
That prostitution flourishes in Ger-
many, but that the prostitutes are
usually white German girls.
That France regards the Negr«
as a necessary evil, and that since
he is there, the French feel that
they might as well make the most
of his presence. That French wo:

than you would imagine. And,

Sam Freeman looked uj from

“Starling!”
“Hello, Sam.”
“What’sup? I wasn't expecting
you in here today.” He looked
half-apologetically about the office,
“Yd haye had the place cleaned up
a bit.”
“That's perfectly all right, Sam.
Looks like you're pretty busy.”
“Yes, Lam, Tryig to get a lot
of contracts straightened out.
It’s good to see so many stage-folk
getting jobs again.”
“Have you made any arrange-
ments about my contract yet,
Sam?”
He looked at her in surprise,
“What's the matter, Star? Ain't
it running along smoothly 2”
“It expires at the end of this
“week.”
Sam snapped his fingers. “That's
tight,” he said. “I'd clean for-
gotten. I suppose Jimmie wants
you to stay on with him?”
“1 guess he does. He seems to
take it pretty much for granted.”
“Wonder. if we could work him
for another raise.”
“No, Sam, nothing like that—”
. “What do'you mean?”
“T mean—I want to leave the

“Oh!” Sam lit a cigarette and
turned, in his’ chair to face her,
“Wihat's the matter—don't you
like it there?”
She shook her head. “There's
nothing wrong,” she said, “I’m
Justa little tired of the place.”
“Jimmie will throw a duck-ft
when I tell him, He's been awful-
ly good to you.”
“I know that, Sam, but—”
“He ain't been trying to get
funny, with you, has he?”
“He's acted perfeety.” +
“Then what are you kicking
about?”
“I want a change, I want some-
thing new to do, I'm tired of doing
the old thing-—secing the same old
faces—night after night.”
“L guess I understand,”
Sam arose and strode over to a
steel filing cabinot, Opening a
lower drawer, he pulled out a sheaf
of papers.
“I promised Jimmie I'd keep you
with him as long as I could,” he
said, “just as a special favor to
him, But now, if you sure
you're through with him and with
the Silver Slipper, you can take a
look at these, They're offers for
your setvices, Pick out the one
you want and go to it.”
“Oh—thanks.” Hastily Starling
delved into the pile of papers,
scanning each one briefly, then
‘aying it aside, Sam went back to
his work until, at the end of half
an hour, she called him, She had
‘eliminated all but one of the many

“This is what I'd like to’ do.”
she said.
What is it, Star?”
“_{ilt’s from the Federal Studios.
‘They want me to do a picture.”
Sam looked it over, and his lips
‘puckered with disapproval.
“You don’t think I should try
it?” Starling asked, apprehep-
sively.
He shook his head,
“I didn't mean for you to see
that letter, Star,” he said. “Not
at any rate, until later.”
“But why not?”

“Not ready 2”

“But I'm sure they’d teach me
what I didn’t know.”
Sam nodded.
“Maybe you're right” he said.
“But 1 do wish you'd try some-
thing else first. Look through
those letters again, and see if you
can't pick out something that's

Together they went through the
offers a. second time, with Sam
pointing out the advantages and
disadvantages of each. But in the
end Starling came wistfully back
to the one she had picked out first.

Sam, I might never get another

“Sam!”
“Hello, Starling.” Sam Free-
man arose, took the cigarette from
between his lips, and tossed it
carelessly into a waste basket,
“This.” he turned t> the man who
sat behind the huge mahogany
desk, “is Phil Harlan, We've just

“How were they?” Starling
asked eagerly,
“Swell!” said J. Philip Harlan.
“Perfect!”
“Oh, I'm glad!”
Sam drew up.a chair for: her.
“You registered perfectly,” he
said. “Of course there were a few
minor flaws, but those can easily
be corrected.” &
“That Garbo yoice!” J, Philip

“Could T. see them?” Starling
asked.
“Certainly. V'll have them run

“That's the idea!” ‘Phil en-

“Give me two weeks. I'll have

“Great! And meanwhile, Star-

“But Star” Roh protested.
“Phil has bought it already, just

By defeating Ossie Stewart, lead-
ing pitcher of the city for the 1933
baseball season, the Georgetown
Athletics, underdogs of the aa-
pirants to the crown, mounted the
throne as kingpins of the Washing-

four losses and one defeat.
Georgetown, even with only one
game to win to place them in um-
disputed possession of first place,
entered the contest with Lil
Brooks's Anacostians, an outsider.
‘There were those among the fol-

Stewart and Chink Berry, two

boast, were considered to be just
the dose for the west-enders.
But a total of 12 hits to account
for one run in each of the second,
fourth and sixth innings, and a
pair of tallies crowded into the fifth
frame, was the element which
turned a pre-arranged story topsy-
turvy,
A threatening gesture of the
Southeasterners in the eighth in-
ning was thwarted when Leroy
Coates went far back to snag and
pull down a drive that had all the
earmarks of an extra-base blow,

of the season of the two clubs, at
Anacostia, last Saturday afternoon.
Robinson gave up only, two hits to

The 'Dales showed a portion of
the line-up with which they intend
to to enter the 1934 diamond sea-
son, with Bill Fauntroy, the city’s
leading middle-pasture’ guardian,
in center, and Toots Brown, hard-

mound. The revamped line-up was
unable to cope with the smooth
play of the Royal outfit, and asa
consequence was forced to the
short end of the counting. _

New Grid Rules Broaden
Definition of Cilpping
‘The major radieal changes in the
1938 football rules involve the fol-
lowing situations: “When the ball
becomes DEAD within TEN yards
of the side line, or when the ball
goes out of bounds between the
side lines, it shall be put in play
at a spot TEN yards from that
side line, and ona line drawn at
right angles to the side line
through the point where the ball
became dead.”
The other radical change affects
what is commonly called clipping.
‘The definition of clipping has been
broadened to include. . . . “block-

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Looking ’em Over
by SAM LACY
With the Tribune
So many of my friends and readers have come forward with con-
gratulations on the success of the Round-Robin Baseball Tournament
which I, as head of the sports department of this paper, have been
conducting during the past five weeks in an effort to determine for the
first time an undisputed champion of the national capital’s sandlot.
No end of complimentary remarks have been showered in the direction
of this pillar that he was able to put over such a program with pro-
portionately consummate ease.
As far as this writer can see, this should be no problem. Wash-
ington has long been ready for just such an undertaking as that spon-
sored by this department. Just why colored baseball fandom should
believe that there is anything remarkable in making a success at stag-
ing a city championship series is beyond me.
Negroesi in Washington will support athletics. That perhaps is a
startling revelation if the one who reads it happens to have been con-
pected ‘with a promotion attempt in the past.
‘Time and again local agencies have failed in an attempt to realize
sufficient financial return from a sports promotion to justify a con-
tinuance of these efforts. And because of these numerous failures =
concensus of opinion that Washington just “isn’t ready” has developed,
It has never dawned on these would-be moguls that the whole trouble
rested with them alone. a
‘They have not yet learned that what they attempted to do was
equivalent to putting on a show. Instead of emulating the leaders in
this field and giving the public something worthy of the money it was
expected to spend, they offered an indifferent performance to which
they themselves would thumb their noses if things were turned about.
‘The 1933 Round-Robin Tournament simply offered the following
features as’ something new and attractive to a ¢ity tired of the old
worn-out practices,
Punctuality was insisted on and was carried out to the utmost.
The chance of having a fifth team in the series was passed up when
it was learned that that outfit could not assure tournament officials
that this rule calling for promptness in starting games could not be
lived up to.
‘A roster that was not juggled about so that “padding” could be
brought into the series as a detriment was also insisted on. Still an-
other team, which would have brought the tournament total to six, saw
fit to withdraw because it was not apparently satisfied with its chances
of WINNING (with winning, unfortunately, being the biggest thing
in mind).
‘The other feature brought out hy the first successful baseball tour-
nament in Washington was good behavior. At no time during the
process of the series was any spectator called upon to witness an ex-
hibition of disgraceful rowdyism, usually so prevalent where sandlotters
gather in competition, This sportsmanly attitude worn by the players
was an influence on the crowds that looked on. Nothing that was not
aun occurred either among the players on the field or along the
sidelines,
Yhasmuch as these things were requested at the opening meeting
of the tournament membership and none were reluctant to offer pledges
of co-operation, the success of the 1933 Washington Tribune Round-
Robin Baseball Tournament, to discover the real champion of Washing-
ton sandlot baseball, was assured even before it left the office of this
ilar.
ae Your writer did nothing important, His position was more or less
figurative. Credit for any and all of the achievements attained in this
undertaking should be cividea equally among the 87 players and one
umpire which constituicd the operative staff of the biggest move in
Jocal amateur athletics to date.

HAMPTON GANS
T BE REPRODUCED
ON GRO. GRP
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—
Students and other followers of
the Hampton Institute football
squad will no longer have to sit
at home and wonder anxiously
“how the team is making out” when
the Pirates play away from home.
Any fan who can make hfs way to
Ogden Hall on the school campus
will be able to enjoy out-of-town
games almost as much as. those
persons who are fortunate enough
to be present to see the actual play.
Charles H. Williams, director of
athletics, has announced that the
Athletic Association has purchased
a new “grid-graph,” making it pos-
siblé to have the contests repro-
duced at the same time the play is
taking place. Students and chil-
dren will “see” the games fer ten
cents, while others will pay twen-
ty,
The “grid-graph” is an electric
yeproducing board which re-enacts
in a dramatic and exciting manner
a football game which is being
played at any distant point, Play-
by-play reports of the games are
used, such reports usually being
furnished by the telegraph compan-
ies, It first made its appearance
on the campus of Ohio State and
since that time has been greatly
improved. The one purchased by
Mr. Williams represents the latest
model.
The “grid-graph” will be used
for the first time on Saturday, Sep-
tember 30, when the Pirates travel
to, Durham, N.C. to battle the
North Carolina College Eagles. The
contest will no doubt be one of the
most thrilling of the present sea-
son. The Tarheels naturally will
be seeking revenge for the 19-0
plastering tacked on them last year
in the opener by Hampton,
SEEK ESTATE OF
TIGER FLOWERS
ATLANTA, Ga,—Who has con-
trol of the late Tiger Flowers’s
estate, reputedly valued at several
hundred thousands of dollars?
An attempt to answer this riddle
is now being made by J. E. Sius-
trunk, 239 Baker Street, who has
been appointed attorney-in-fact and
manager of the estate by Mrs, Lula
Flowers, mother of the deceased
ex-middieweight ring champion.
Mr. Siustrunk yesterday public-
ly announced his intention of gath-
ering the estate together and at
the same time asked all who have
any part of the estate in their pos-
session to communicate at once
with him.
Tiger Flowers died under cireum-
stances which have never been sat-
isfactorily explained in New York
during 1927, According to the will
left by the boxer, his mother was
named executrix of the estate. She
says, however, that she has receiv-
ed nothing except the home on
Simpson Road and furniture, She
was later dispossessed of the home,
Siustrunk says, by the wife of
Tiger's trainer, who stated this
piece of property was left to her.
‘The estate is understood to eon-
etst of a large amount of real es-
tate in Georgia and other states in
‘addition to considerable cash in the
banks of Atlanta and, New York
City. As told, it is estimated to
be worth several hundred thousand
dollars.
Flowers’s wife and child are now
in California, where they receive
only a small amount of the income
the properties, Siustrunk says
while the mother is practically des-
titute, She assigned her duties to
him because of her age and inabil-
ity to gather the estate together.
‘Sistrunk intimated he does not
know who actually has control of
the vast unaccounted-for part of
the Flowers estate or who is gath-
ering the income which legally
should be entrusted to the mother,
‘but he does plan to find out and
restore the properties to the execu-
trix if at all possible.

Week-end Diamond Attractions
Clashes With Baltimore Black Sox and Dixie Pigs
“Should Prove Answer to Fandom’s Prayer;
Heated Battles Expected
Eyes of Washington's sporting populace are focused this week-
end on two sites in nearby Virginia where Doug Smith’s pair of
diamond attractions are slated to be staged. Green Valley Park, over
Arlington way, and Bailey's Park, out in the ditection of Colesville,
are both reeeiving equal shares.
It is on the former site that the Washington All-Stars, a group
of the outstanding sandlot performers of Washington and vicinity,
wiil take on the crack Baltimore Black Sox, of professional fame,
Saturday. And it is on the latter didmond thta these same All-Stars
will clash with the highly publicized Dixie Pigs (white sandlot cham-
pions of the District), Sandey.

Although the Monumental City
Aggregation is conceded to be much
the better of the two teams slated
for the Saturday game, there ara
some local fans who believe that
the spirit and determination of the
lesser organized and lesser exper
‘enced Washington youngsters will
give a good account of themselves.
‘The locals boast of speed, exper-
ience, alert-mindedness and offen-
sive and defensive ability as quali-
ties of a well-balanced outfit.
The Sunday game will be moro
of an even up affair although every
effort is being made to surprise the
colored professionals. ‘The local
Dixie Pig nine, in spite of having
recently won the white semi-pra~
fessional championship of the city,
is considered no more than a match

was scheduled to be held this
week. Although sixty-two men
were out for the team, Coach Mar-
tin was able only to send approxi-
mately 40 thtdugh the practice
rounds because of the lack of
equipment.

VA. STATE MENTOR
SAD ON EVE OF
GRD OPENER
PETERSBURG, Va. — Tindolph
D, Cook, head coach ox the Virginia
State College Trojans, faces the
opening game of the season with
Coach Harry Jefferson's Big Blues
of Bluefield with gloomy expecta-
‘tions of success. In fact the genial
coach of the Trojans has a very
datk — for the entire season.
To add to the gloom which al-
ready surrounded the camp of the
‘Trojans, information has come that
Romeo Lambert, ranked. by many
as the best blocking halfback in
the C.LA.A. last season and a ball
carrier of no mean ability, would
not be able to play this year on
Account of an operation which he
has recently been forced to under-
go. This loss will be keenly felt.
For Lambert was one of the few
veterans around whom Cook hoped
to build his 1933 machine.
In addition to the sad news a
series of injuries to promising ma-
terial has further complicated
Cook's problem. John Ross, vet-
evan tackle, has been forced to the
side lines on account of a knee in-
jury. He will not be able to play
in the first game, and may be lost
for the season.
Ben Turner, veteran guard, sus-
tained a broken nose in last week's
strenuous practice, and Sydney
Estes, a promising halfback, is out
on account of a sprained’ ankle.
‘Two other players are affected with
boils, and of course, will not be
able to play much football for a
while.

CHESTER, Pa—On Monday,
more than fifty men reported at
Rendall Field, for Lincoln’s initial

Coach Martin is well pleased
over the prospects for a good team
this year. Although many veterans
were lost through graduation there
is a good amount of material avail-
able. Some of the promising new
comers are: Penn, a triple threat
man from Towa; Minns, of Wash-
ington; and Sonny Jackson, of Nor-
folk, who are out for backfield po-
sitions. The quarterback position
is a much contested one. Little a
brainy lad from Boston, is making
the going plenty tough for the vet-
erans Parker and Coleman.
Several new comers will aid in
strenghtening the forward wall,
namely, Toby Roberson, an all-star

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1933
NEGROES NAMED ON COMMUNIST PARTY TICKET
James W. Ford Nominated for Alderman in New York
NEW YORK.--Over twelve Negroes working class leaders were nominated for assemblymen and aldermen at the Communist Party ratification conference held last Saturday afternoon at the Esthonian Workers Hall. Hundreds of delegates from maas organizations and Communist Party units wildly cheered the nominations of white and Negro workers as further proof of the sincerity of the revolutionary workers in the relentless fight, led by the Communist Party, for unconditional equality for the Negro people and the abolition of lynching and national oppression.
James Ford Named
Heading the municipal ticket of the Communist Party is Robert Minor, a veteran fighter who several times has been arrested for his activities in the fight for the Negro people of this country and Haiti. James W. Ford, organizer of the Harlem Section of the Communist Party, was nominated for alderman in the 19th district, and William L. Patterson, national head of the I.L.D. for alderman in the 21st district.
Other Nominations
Other Nominations
Other nominations include Steve Kingston, for City Court Judge;
Henry Shepard for Sheriff; Otto Hall, for Assemblybyman in the 13th Assembly district; William Fitzgerald in the 19th Assembly district; Herman McKawain in the 21st Assembly district; Maude White, in the 22nd Assembly district; Glassford for alderman in the 15th Aldermanic district; Uffree in the 17th Aldermanic district; Reggie Thomas in the 22nd Aldermanic district.
Church Block Party Turns Out to Be All Wet
Rain fell on and washed out the first of the proposed two-night block party plans of the John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Wednesday. The second night of the program is carded for tonight (Thursday) at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest.
The party was the part of a money-raising campaign being staged by the "Reds," an auxiliary rivalling the "Blues" in the endeavor to improve the economic condition of the institution.
The inclement weather spoiled the chances of dancing or of the sale of refreshments housed by numerous booths along the Tenth Street sidewalks.

DEBATE—
Should the government legalize
the numbers game?
Three little fingers dat's all I'se
got to write,
Three little figgers—but dey'd
better be right.
better be right,
Three little fingers—they keep
Three little figgers—they keep me up all night.
A-fingering, a-doping, a-speculating—gee, dey's tight!
The constant persecution of small time gamblers by the police leads me to wonder if there is ever any chance or opportunity for the "little" man to get a break while engaged in strenuous competition with the "big timers." Thousands of dollars are lost daily in the course of wild, mad speculation by over-anxious, get-rich-quick-Wallinfords in the stock markets.
Department of Justice operatives are fully aware of this crazy plunging and gambling that takes place in the distinguished yet reckless confines of Wall Street. Yet day after day fortunes are won and lost in this game of "take a chance," and scarcely a word is mentioned about it in official circles. On the other hand "bankers and runners" for the "numbers" game must constantly pay a toll to the "law."
It is my contention that the numbers game should be legalized as well as nationalized. The revenue that could be obtained by taxes on winnings would cause a noticeable builge to appear in good old Uncle Sam's bill fold.
Oh, yes. I know that you are going to say that the odds in favor of the player or bettor are too small. I know that he stands a thousand chances of losing his dine or his quarter, but why continue to emphasize this point? The poor boob knows it, and not withstanding his realization of this fact he is contented to play against the odds and patiently "wait for his day."
And believe it or not his "day" usually comes. Boy! and when it comes his cup of joy always overflows.
I contend that if the government can allow individuals to squander thousands of dollars away daily on the stock market, it should not threaten "numbers" players with vengeance, but should legalize the game—and if the "little" man desires to throw away his "pennies" foolishly—it's his privilege. The chances are that he will toss it away anyhow—law or not law. We are gamblers by both heritage and adoption.

To Air Bank Shortage Case Wednesday
SIXTEEN
BAKER' BROTHERS' CASE POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 4
Former Prudential Employees Accused of Shortage in Accounts
For the first time, the inner history of the reputed shortage of $6,300 in the accounts of Edward Baker and his brother, Clarence S. Baker, former employees of the Prudential Bank, both of Howard Manor, is scheduled be learned by the public in a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, October 4.
The hearing was docketed for the past Tuesday but was postponed until the later date through agreement of the commissioner and counsel. Meanwhile the brothers are at liberty under $5,500 bond each, furnished by J. Walter Stewart, bondsman.
The pair were taken into custody by agents of the Department of Justice on September 18, following an investigation. The charges grew out of an audit begun in the office of the Comptroller of Currency.
Agent for Prudential
Edward, former cashier of the Prudential Bank, has been acting as agent for the institution since it merged with the Industrial Savings Bank, last year. He has been conducting his work from the Industrial Bank. It is understood that the alleged shortage did not affect the funds of the latter institution, which is now in the midst of a campaign to reorganize as a national bank.
There is much speculation as to the nature and type of the charges, but nothing definite can be learned until the Department of Justice agents "place their cards on the table." The brothers are being represented by the law firm of Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes.
COP ACCUSED
(Continued from page 1)
previously supported 'lr. Sanderson regarding the major details were: J. T. Kirby, assistant station clerk, and James Redlick, station clerk, both on duty at the time of the occurrence.
Testimony is Similar
The case had been held open until the testimony of Matthews could be heard. Although his testimony was somewhat less forceful than that of the previous witness, nevertheless, it did not deviate in its salient points.
He stated, in part, that the two prisoners were brought into the station from two to five minutes before Middleton entered to make out a traffic ticket.
"Middleton," declared Matthews, "went back behind the rail. He then came out from behind the rail and shoved the male prisoner up to the rail. The prisoner had been drinking and we had gotten his name as readily as we should." The witness, on cross examination, stated that Middleton's actions were for the purpose of searching him and that no only "slapped" him on the pockets. Former witnesses testified that Middleton struck the man and hit him in the back and side with his fists.
Pushed Girl in Face
In regards to the accused officer's action toward Miss Wood, Matthews stated:
"The female prisoner was standing at the right of the gats leading behind the rail. As he started back behind the rail, I heard him say 'Shut up.' As I looked around, I saw him pus' the woman in the face with his open hand."
Assistant Corporation Council Edward M. Welliver, prosecutor, queried as to how hard the blow appeared to be. Matthews responded, "It did not look very forcible to me."
Testimony that the blows were struck "for no reason at all" and after no conversation from the prisoners was partially varied from Matthews. He declared that Burrell was slow in giving information, and that he had heard Miss Wood say something, but could not make it out.
Testimony at the trial revealed that Middleton's auto, driven by a female acquaintance, collided with Burrell's auto, driven by Miss Wood. It is thought that Middleton became angry because of the slight damage which happened to his machine as a result of the accident. Miss Wood was charged with

SISTER-IN-LAW OF MOTON DEAD
HAMPTON, Va.—Funeral services were held Friday at the Bethel Baptist, Church, Gloucester County, Va. for Mrs. Ella Booth Walker, sister of Mrs. Jennie B. Moton, the wife of Principal Moton of Tuskegee Institute.
Mrs. Walker died early last week at Fort Valley, Ga., after a prolonged illness at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rossa Molette. The deceased was also the sister of Miss Mary Booth, whose tragic death at Tuskegee Institute three years ago aroused interest throughout the country.
She was the oldest of nine children, among them Mrs. Moton, Mrs. Freeland of Hampton Institute and Jefferson-Booth of Gloucester County, and played a large part in having her brothers and sisters attend that institution where she herself was a student for several years.
Lincoln Debate Tilt Audience is Sought

Any one who heard the major question, "Should Slavery be Extended in the United States and Territories?" is requested to get in touch with the Star, or with Dr. Louis A.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 28. 1933
20 IN DISTRICT POSTAL SERVICE TO BE DROPPED
Those to Lose Jobs Have Wives Employed in Government
According to orders given to Postmaster Wm. Mooney, here this week, some 143 local postal employees, approximately twenty of them colored, will be compelled to leave the Postal Service, on account of the "marriage" clause of the Economy Act, and under the forced "retirement" provisions of the same act.
Those to be released include letter carriers, of whom many here in the Nation's Capital are colored. They will also include rural carriers, and other workers, who have wives also in government service.
The orders have caused much apprehension here, especially because of the fact that many of the local letter carriers have wives who are employed in the city school system, as teachers, clerks, etc. The salaries, which are paid school teachers in Washington are much better than those drawn by letter carriers, and for the sake of income and economy several of the local postal employees have signified their intention of seeking other employment in order that their wives may continue to draw the lucrative salary of the school system. Others will continue to work in the Postal service and let their wives leave the Government service.
2 Small Children Hit by Machines
Two-year-old Louise Abbott, of 17 Rock Creek Church Road, Northwest, and six-year-old Francell Burke, of 760 Girard Street, Northwest, were among the four persons who escaped with slight injuries in motor accidents, Monday.
Little Louise was struck by a machine near her home said to have been driven by Edward Nelson, of the 4000 block of New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest. At Freedmen's Hospital, where the infant was taken, she was found to have bruises of the right side of the face and the left leg.
Francell, who was also struck by an auto, suffered bruises of the right knee.
David Hill, 20, of 646 Brooks Court, Northwest, received a wound over the right eye which required two stitches to close after he was a victim in a traffic accident.
