to help their fathers, brothers and
sons to win a bare subsistance wage
from the despotic coal barons who
have sought to break the miners’
union with the bullets of hired gun
men and things. “Though facing con
stant starvation and eviction, the
miners’ wives banded themselves to
gether in a formidable and militant
ladies’ auxiliary bent on sharing, side
by side, and arm in arm, the bitter
hardships and suffering of their men
in resistting the ruthless and brutal
attacks of the mine bosses,” said Miss
Edwards. “I is not enough to receive
the check of the mine workers and
the women decided that it was their
imperative duty to learn something
about the conditions under which the
checks were earned, and to make
I the*r sacrifice in making those con
ditions better and more tolerable for
their men,” continued Miss Edwards.
An enthusiastic discussion followed
these addresses.
Tueday night, Mr. A Philip Ran

made the principal address on the
“Present'and Future Program of the
Pullman Porters’ Union.” He predict

recognition from the Pullman Com

declared Randolph. He scored the
Negro Uncle Toms and stool pigeons
of the Pullman Company, and charged
them with being the worst enemy of
the porters. He pictured the cam
paign of demonstrations and parades
by the porters and Negro workers
generally in New York, in which the
bank of Morgan was picketed and
meetings staged before the doors of
the Pullman offices denouncing the
oppressive tactics of Simon Legree
Superintendents. He expressed great
appreciation for the cooperation and
support the Brotherhood was re
ceiving from the enlightened and pro
gressive Negro papers, churches civic
and fraternal organizations through
out the country, and said that the
greatest need of the American Negro
today is to develop labor mir.dedness
which would enable him to under
stand and appreciate the class and
economic basis of his problem.
Dr Paul H Douglas, head of the
Department of Economics of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and eminent lib
era^ made a searching, scientific,
analytical and comprehensive talk on
the origin, nature, scope and signi
ficance of N R A. Mr. Douglas
was recently appointed expert eco
nomic adviser on codes to the Re
covery Act by President Roosevelt.
He viewed with promise and hope the
development and out come of Presi
dent Roosevelt's recovery legislation,
but also indicate the dangers that
exist which may bring failure and
collapse. He condemned the effort of
the United States Steel Corporation
and automotive industries’ attempts
to maintain company unions and open
shop features in their codes of fair
practices. ^Under N R A , busi
ness is organizing into giant trade
associations as well as developing
strong organzations in plant mana
gement, besides having as a capstans
of its triple organizational structure
the advisory council on industry,
which is composed of the most pow
erful industrial, financial and busi
ness chiefs of America,” said he “If
labor hopes to build a status of power
and influence so that it may win
standards of decency, comfort and
health, and keep its wages steadily
rising with the rapid upturn in prices,
the workers must organize along
parallel lines with capital into indus
trial unions,” continued the Professor.
He praised the new move of the
American Federation of Labcr in
seeking to organize steel and iron,
textiles, rubber, and automotive in
dustries along industrial union linos
through the machinery of the Fed
eral unions. “I am working for the
success of N R. A , though I am
not a partisan in politics, being neith
er affiliated with the Republican .or
democratic parties, because I feel
that if this significant and splendid
effort of the President to conqur and
beat the depression fails, our country
faces the possibility of the 'ise of
Fascism, headed by an American Hit
ler, who will sweep sway all of our
democratic civil and political liber
ties,” declared Professor Douglas. He
ended his talk by urging that the Pull
man porters who are members of the
union be stir themselves in carrying
the message to their fellow workers
and bringing them into the fold of
organization, and expressed his ar
dent wish and hopes that the Bro
therhood should win recognition from
the Pullman Company.
One of the international vice presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
car man, and special correspondent
for “Labor,” organ of the twenty
one standard railroad unions, Mr. E
K Hogan, spoke Thursday night on
the “Trade Union Movement and N.
R A He assured the Pullman port
ers of the support and backing of
their white railroad fellow workers,
and predicted victory for the porters
under the aggressive and courage

He denounced the company union
and yellow dog contract as a species
of industrial tyranny which the N.
R A , is sweeping into eternal ob
livion.
Mr. M P Webster, chairman of

unions is fundamental in attempting
to find a remedy for the vexatious,
perplexing, and persistent economic
problems of the workers in this
machine era,” said he “Unless the
Negro workers become a part of. and
participate in, the broad and general
program of industrial readjustment
that is being formulated and worked
out by the organized labor move
ment, they will face the future with
out hope or promise.” He asserted
that the only logical and proper place
for the black workers was in the
American Federation of Labor where
they can struggle in cooperation with
the white workers to build a power
ful labor movement and fight to
achieve industrial justice.
Mr. Hennie Smith, second vice
president of the Brotherhood, who
because of his militant fight to or
ganize the porters in Jacksonville,

spiracies of the Pullman company

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Wife found letter in husband’s

wife better make peace and stop
spying.
(For advice, write Maxie Miller,

Kansas. For personal reply, send

Maxie Miller: I am in trouble. I
suspected my husband was interested
in another woman, so I looked in his
pocket and fou^.d a letter addressed
to this woman. Instead of begging
me pardon, my husband raised the
devil, accuses me of syping, demands
that I beg him pardoa, or he’ll quit
me. Now, what do you think of that?
What should I do?—Jealous Wife.
Jealous Wife-: It is a mistake for
any woman to go prowling and spy
ing in that way. What you don’t
know won’t hurt you, and you’ll al
most surely find something when
you look for something. Perhaps he
was trying to catch you, and perhaps
he is just stalling and getting him
self out. But you can never know
w-hich. Perhaps all husbands do some
philandering, so, you’d better make
terms, this time, and then keep out
of your husband’s pockets. Swallow
your medicine and improve.—Maxie

YOU ON WELCOME EVERY TRIP
ON THE ‘VALLEY QUEEN’
A month ago, after an arduous
journey up the Missouri from Mem
phis, Tennessee, the 180-foot river
steamer, “Valley Queen,” docked at
the foot of Douglas Street with the
hopes of giving the people of Omaha
and vicinity something new in the
way of entertainment.
In less than a week after the ar
rival of the boat, Omahans and visit
ors were sold on the idea that Iht
Missouri River is not merely the
dividing line between Iowa and Neb
raska but something that can be
used for pleasure.
Crowds nearing the capacity num
ber of 650 have flocked o the excur
sion boat every evening for a three
hour trip down the river and back.
On Saturday evenings two trips, one
at 9 p m , and another at 1 a m ,
have been necessary to accommodate
the overflow crowds. And for those
not caring for the evening dance
trips, the “Valley Queen” makes aft
ernoon sightseeing excursions on Sat
urday and Sunday.
The novelty of boating in Nebraska
is one explanation for the steamer s
popularity, but more important than
that are the facts that it is always
cool on the river, that the music is
good and the crowds congenial.
Officers of the Omaha Navigation
Company, which operates the “Valley
Queen,” have expressed themselves as
well pleased with the recepton which
their boat has received. “According
to various conversations I have had
with patrons,” one officer said, “the
crowds are coming aboard night aft
er night, not because it is something
new and different to do, but rather
because it is the most pleasant and
comfortable place to dance in Oma
ha.”

FINLEY WILSON SEEKS TO OUST
RECEIVERS AND MUTUALIZE
NATIONAL BENEFIT
WASHINGTON — (CNS) — In a
determined effort to wrest control of
the National Benefit Life Insurance
Company from the hands of its two
white receivers and reorganize into
a mutual life insurance company, J
Finley Wilson, has submitted as in
tervener, a comprehensive plan, to
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court.
The plan submitted through his at
torneys is based on a document filed
in that court in July, 1933 and calls
for the operation and management of
the company by its policy-holders, as
owners.
According to he plan the court is
requested to order the receivers, Gil
brt A Clark and Frank Bryan, Jr ,
to show cause why they should not
immediately file a full report of the
financial condition of the company up
to and including August 15
In addition, the petition specifies
that the receivers should also show
cause why they should not “cooper
ate to the fullest degree” with Mr
Wilson to secure necessary author
ization from all policyholders to
carry out the plan of mutualization;
also why they should not utilize to
the fullest extent the present field
agents and employees in furtherance
of the plan.
The plan, as now submitted by Mr
Wilson’s attorneys, is supplemental
to the one filed in July and is based
on the report filed by the receivers,
December 15, 1932. This report set
forth that the total value of the as- i
sets distributable as equities to
policy holders amounted to $1,060,
763.06, as of September 9, 1931.
The Wilson plan is also based upon :
the theory that the assets in the
hands of the receivers, remaining af
ter the cost of the receivership is de
ducted, and all claims are settled, are
the property of the policy holders. It
is upon the value of these distribut
able equities that Intervener Wilson
expects to secure the basis for the
working capital in the organization
of a mutual life insurance company.
It is claimed that the Wilson plan
affords a method for the utilization
of approximately 75 per cent of the
company’s assets, listed as real es-1
tate, through cooperation of the
policy holders, to prevent a total loss,
which would likely reclaims on an
equitable basis.
The proposed mutual company, for
which a charter has already been
worked out, would be organized under
the legal reserve plan. Equities dis
tributable to the policy holders would
be the basis for the working capital.
The new company would take over
the assets and insurance business of
the National Benefit and provide for
the settlement of all claims against
it.
As a medium for transferring the
assets, business, and claims of the
National Benefit to the new com
pany, a contract of reinsurance
would be entered into between the
receivers and the hew company.
In the event that the assets turned
over to the new company are inade
quate to meet the obligations, the
plan is to compose the differences
with the policy holders by either of
the following methods:
(a) By reducing the amount of
insurance and the premiums propor
tionately.
(b) Ey reducing the amount of
insurance, the premiums remaining
the same.
(c) By increasing premiums, the
insurance remaining the same.
(d) By the imposition of a lien.
Under a suggested moratorium uo
;ash surrender or loan values on any
if the business reinsured, based upon
;he present reserve would be paid by
:he new company prior to the ex
piration of five years from the ef
fective date of the contract of rein
surance. The said moratorium would
pot apply to any values created by
premiums paid subsequent to the ef-,
'ective date of the contract of rein
surance.
In the event the court grants In-,
tervener Wilson permission to trv
out his plan, a period of 90 days j.
requested for the perfection of the
reorganization. The petition also pro
vides for instruction to the receivers
They would bom directed by the
court to extend to him the full ami
unlimited facilities of the receiver
ship, and to make available to him
the entire agency and other employes
for the purpose of presenting the re
organization plan to the policy holders
and creditors of the company. The
employee^ would also be used in se
curing from them whatever author
ization might be found necessary.

RELIEF FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Federal Aid Promised Cloned Schools
The National Urban League is ask

sections of the country to read fol
lowing authorization sent to gover
nors and state emergency relief ad
ministrators by Harry L Hopkins,
Administrator of the Federal Emer
gency Relief Administration. This
ruling, if applied to Negro teachers
and schools, will enable many of those
closed for lack of funds to be open
ed. The ruling as follows:
“To The Governors and State Emer
gency Relief Administrators:
Your relief commission is author
ized to use Federal relief funds now
available or to be made available by
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad
ministration to pay work relief wages
to needy unemployed teachers or
other persons competent to teach and
assign them to class rooms up
through the eighth grade, provied;
first, that these teachers are assign
?d by the relief officers to appropriate
educational authorities who will have
entire supervision over their activi
ties; secondly, provided that they are
assigned only to those schools which
prior to this date have been ordered
closed or partially closed for the
coming school year because of lack
of funds; third, this applies only to
rural counties. State Relief Admin
istrations are also authorized and
urged to pay from above funds relief
work wages to needy unemployed
persons competent to teach adults
unable to read and write English
This applies to cities as well as rural
counties. Under no circumstances
should relief funds be used to relieve
counties of their proper responsibility
for education, nor should these activi
ties permit the substitution relief
teachers for regulaily emplo/ed tea
chers.
Yours very sincerely,
