“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. Person
ally I would be glad to be informed
just how to start the movement that
would give assistance, that I might be

"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.

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.

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.
