--^-%yxy Read What Others Say* ! “A SQUARE DEAL FOR THE RAILROADS” A group of gentlemen spoke to a Urge audience of railroad workers, at the auditorium, Sept. 1st, protest ing against the use of the highways by trucks on which taxes are paid for maintenance in opposition to rail roads; which have greatly increased their earning*. The speakers were Mayor R. L. Metcalfe, of Omaha; Mayor J. J Myrtue of Council Bluffs; Attorney General Sorenson; City Com missioner Koutsky; Attorney James Keefe of North Platte; and J. J. White of the United Mine Workers. These gentlemen were loud in their protest against the methods used by the trucks, which have thrown thousands of people out of employment and caused a general break down in the industrial centers of this nation. If the railroads are not prosperous, de clared Mayor Metcalfe, the nation can not be prosperous. The railroads must he given the aid they need. There are 12.000 Pullman Porters and hundreds of other Negroes depending upon the railroad companies, that are affected by the inroads made upon those concerns that will cooperate with any movement that will increase the earning power of the railroads. I sincerely hope that these organiza tion* that are nation wide will be ex plicit in their methods and explain jurt how the railroad* can be assisted through their organizations.

"Hoover and the Socialist Platform” To read the Omaha Journal of Pro gress one would be led to believe that President is running on the socialist ticket, all the socialist candidate has to do is to sign his name to Hoover’s speeches. The same paper states that a Mr. Lynch of Los Angeles says; that voters in the doubtful States will guess shrewdly after southern lynch ing. There is always some stout Nor dict who advises the surviving blacks to forget all about this terrible thin;?. Tt will be a courageous Klu-Kluxer, who dares to tell the Irish of our big Cities to forget 1928. We are forced to admit that we do not know what this far away Nordic means. Is he a Republican and opposes the election of Mr. Garner as Vice President of the United States, because he is a citizen of a southern State in which lynching has occurred. Cannot this gentleman remember the calamities that have been forced upon the Negro throughout the country. If Mr. Lynch thinks that the Negro can forget os tracism that people of this group are being forced to go through under Re publican Administrations. He is bad ly mistaken. In the southern states where the Negro is forced to accept 1 ostracism and Jim Crow methods, he is at least allowed to work and main tain a living standard equal to that of almost any other citizen. Which cannot be said of many States throughout the country. Negroes of this country will show their resent ment in the coming election by sup porting the Democratic ticket this fall. “The Tariff” In seeking the support of the Ne groes, I wonder if Congressman Bal drige takes time to inform them of how they are affected by his tote on the tariff question. What industries are affected, Silk and Knitting Mills, Glass and Shoe factories in which thousands of people are employed, very few being Negroes. The Repub lican party stands for high tariff, that protect the Hellon’s, Ford’s, Rocke fellow's and 15% of the other capital ists who rule this country, that has caused nation-wide unemployment. The influence of Senator Howell and Congress Baldrige is fait by every col ored citizen in this State. Andrew Stuart. Editor Omaha Guide, 2418 Grant St., Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: We have just received your issue of July 3, and are placing you immed iately upon the Historical Society ex change list. You publish a very credi table newspaper and deserve support. Your platform as published on page 8 in most respects meets my personal approval. Paragraph 14, relating to higher salaries, I do not understand well enough to approve. My observa tion is that we get the same man for a public position at a moderate salary that we do at a high salary, nd I am holding a public position myself. The Negro race in America will se cure recognition and respect from other races just in proportion as it rises in intelligence, ownership of property and general ability. All my life I have treated all the colored and tinted races with exactly the sam de gree of courtesy and appreciation that I have any white man. A number of years ago I came near having a knock down fight in a Baltimore street car because I rose and gave my seat to a colored woman who was nearing motherhood. So I am very greatly pleased at the type of paper which you are pub lishing. We would be glad to ex change some of the back issues of this Nebraska Historical Society for a back file of your own publication. Just at present a white young woman in our university is preparing a thesis upon the colored race in Nebraska. For her sake and for all of the people who desire full historical information respecting the colored population in Nebraska I hpe that yu can furnish us backfiles f your paper to the be ginning. Very sincerely, A. E. Sheldon, Secy, and Supt. Nebraska Historical Society. A A ' ' -- V7 Read The... o --- o; CELEBRATES EIGHTH YEAR IN BUSINESS IN THIS COMMUNITY o --- o ! -' I Herman Friedlander Mr. Herman Friedlander, well known and efficient groceryman at 2418 North 24th St., celebrates his eighth Anniversay in the grocery business in this community. Mr. Friedlander takes a great in terest, at all times, in the civic af- ^ fairs of this community where the bulk of the population is decidedly colored. Mr. Friedlander takes great pride in always keeping a store main tained under strictly sanitary condi- \ ticns.; he has always employed a col ored staff of workers and will always do so in the future. It pleases us to announce that this up-to date store starts its eighth an niversary with special prices on their foods that will knock the lid off of your hat. Patronize Herman, be cause Herman will help you. The Omaha Guide has always help ed promote this store’s progress and Mr. Friedlander congratulates this paper for its help not only to his business but also for THE OMAHA GUIDE’S aid to all community en- j deavors where our people are involv •* _ 4-H GIRL TALKS TO NATION Washington—(CNS)—Living in the heart of the Mississippi hill country, j20 miles from the nearest railroad, Ozie Bell Garrett, sixteen year old 4-H Club girl of Farmhaven, Madison County, winner of the contest among 4-H club members in South Central States, earned $1,211.11 during the past four years in canning and poul try projects, a part of her club activ ity. Speaking over a nation-wide hook up on the Land Grant College program of the National Farm and Home Hour o fthe United States Department of Agriculture Wednesday afternoon, September 21, Miss Garrett, who won a trip to Washington and here placed on the radio program because of being selected as the best all-around club member in seven States, described the activities of the clubs in her State and community, which influences the housewives and farmers through work with their boys and girls to recognize the need for canning more fruits, veg etables, and meats, improve their homes and surroundings, introduce modern farming methods, improve sanitation and general health condi tions, and inspire in the community a friendly rivalry which results in the improvement of economic conditions. Miss Garrett was elected president of the Club in her community when it was first organized and has served in that capacity ever since. She has also served for two years as assistant local leader, three years as State treasurer, two years as vice-president of the county organization, and two years as a member of the county executive committee. This activity considered in connection with the standard of her project activities, record of pub lic presentation, and personal narra tive report on club won for her the award. xhrough her club projects, Miss Garrett, the oldest of a family of nine, has succeeded in screening her home, installing kitchen conveniences, and beautifying both the inside and sur roundings of the farm house, all at an expense far below the cost of the movie entertainment of most city children. Perhaps her most interest ing project was the installation of running water in the kitchen, using a 65-gallon tank on a wooden scaffold which she herself erected, which was connected with a sink on the inside made from a gas tank from a discard ed Ford car which also furnished the pipe which connected the tank and the sink. The only cost for the sys1 tem was ten cents paid for a faucet. In the kitchen Miss Garrett has built her mother an attractive kitchen cabinet made from waste lumber and two boxes given by a merchant. She drew out the nails from the box and used them again in the construction of the cabinet. Handles came from the hood of the old Ford. FORD ARRESTED AGAIN IN LOS ANGELES New York City—(CNS)—James W. Ford, Communist candidate for the rice-presidency, was arrested in Los Angeles last week while making a speech in connection with his cam paign tour. A letter of protest was sent to Mayor John C. Porter of Los Angeles by the Committee for De fense of Political Prisoners, in which the organization stated that it con sidered “the arrest and beating of a man because his beliefs are hated or feared by powers that be was the accepted practice in inquisitional Spain and czarist Russia, and is a practice which we will not permit to go unchallenged in this country.” Ford has been arrested several times during his campaign. He was ar rested in Washington a few months ago in connection with his activity with the Bonus Expeditionary Forces during the riot.
