The next day I received a report
from chairman no I, that he had 14

was a sham, and was not a member,

me that it was a sham, and nothing

Having received the names of my

I for the purpose of ascertaining what

Last Sunday evening, I told Mr

spoke up, and I should like very much
to have you invite Storz over to the
meeting. Extemporaneously Mr Mc_
Gowan uttered a fewr words that he
said, he would have in the letter.
Those words were so sensible for a
letter of that nature, I sprang from
my chair, and said, “dictate that

I could have taken the Chairman

that his people had been slaped in the

I APPEALED FILED TO CONVICTION OF HERNDON
IN GEORGIA SUPREME COURT
ATLANTA, Ga*— (CNS) — “You
can’t kill a man because of the lfcoks
he reatTs,” said Ben J Davis, Jr ,
while arguing an appeal that has
been filed in the Georgia Supreme
Court to the conviction of Angelo
Herndon, under sentence of from 18
to 20 years itnprisoment on a charge
of attempting to incite insurrection.
Herndon, who said he came South
with a message of communism, was
found guilty by a jury which delib.
grated more than two hours after a
trial lasting three days. The charge
carried the death penalty or impri.
son men t for from five to twenty
years, and a jury fixed the term. The
jury was all white, a fact that led
the defense to contend that the trial
was unfair. The defense contended
that Negroes were excluded from
jury service.
The State based its case on Hern,
doc possession of literature distri.
buted by the Communist Party U.
S. A , and contended he had willfll
intent to overthrow the government.
Herndon was organizer for the Com.
munist Party. The State’s plea was
that his actions constituted an at.
tempt to incite insurrection. It said
Herndon sought and accepted mem.
bers to the party, received dues and
had in his possession books and pa.
pers which advocated establishment
of a communistic government in the
United States.
Some of the literature, introduced
as evidence, advocated self determin.
ation of Negroes in the black belt of
the South “The Negro Toiler” was

major part in the trial
“This book,” Eaid Defense Attorney
Ben. J Davis, Jr , himself a Negro,
“should have been written in the
blood of Negroes who were burned
at the stake by mobs. I say lynching
is insurrection. The only defense
Herndon committed was that be ask_
ed for bread for children—his only
crime is his color.”
The defense said much of the lit.
erature found in Herndon’s posses,
si on. could be found in the “great lib.
raries etf the world—including' the
Carnegie Library in Atlanta. ”
“Some of the books are considered
classics, “he told the jury. “You
can't kill a man because of the books
he reads."
The State said: “Stamp this thing
out now with a conviction.”
The statute that was invoked was
passed more than sixty years ago,
when Georgia was in the hands of
carpetbaggers. Authorities said the
original purpose of the law was to
prevent white advocates defeated in
the Civil War from denspiring to
overthrow the reconstruction govern,
ments— dominated by carpetbaggers
and Negroes.
In an unsworn statement at his
trial, Herndon said that “capitalists
use racial prejudice as a means of
exploiting workmen,” and added: “Do
with me what you will; there are
thousands of others to take my place.
He predicted collapse of the capital,
istic system and spoke to a crowded
court room for fifteen minutes on
principles °f the Communist party.
Herndon said he was arrested with
out cause and treated "inhumanly” in
the Pulton County jail. He said he
was held eleven days on a change of
suspicion and was imprisoned six
months without trial. His imprison,
ment was a “nightmare,” he said,

and for a time he was forced to live
in a cell with a corpse. He said his
party was recognized in Georgia, ex_
plaining that the Communist ticket
was entered in the State in the last
Presidential election.
The court hfeld that two Emory
University professors, presented by
the defense, could not testify expert, i
ly on the nature of literature as they
were not qualified by Herndon’s
lawyers as experts. The professors
are instructors in economics and the
co-urt overruled the defense’s plea
that communism is an economic
question.
NEGRO WORKERS WIN STRIKE ON BARGE LINES
SECRETARY OF LABOR HEEDS PROTEST OF
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE
The strike of Negro workers on the
Federal Barge Lines operated by the
War Department at East St Louis,
Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri, was
satisfactorily settled yesterday in a
victory for the striking Negroes, ac_
cording to information received by
T Arnold Hill, Director of the De_
partment of Industrial Relations of
the National Urban League, New
York City.
Telegraphic information in reply
to a protest wired by Mr Hill to
Miss France^ Perkins, Secretary of
Labor, Dr. Leo Wolman of the In_
dustrial Mediation Board, and Gen_
eral Hugh S Johnson of the N R
A , was received from the Director
of Conciliation, of the Department
of Labor, Hugh L Kerwin, as fol_
lows:
Repying to your telegram secre.
tary Perkin8 matter up War Depart,
ment agreement rebelled and for.
warded this day to H. R., O’dell
Federal Barge Lines, St. Louis
agreement was approved by the War
Department and accepted by the
workers provided work shall start
eight o'clock pay of all laborers shall
be thirty five cents per hour time and
half for overtime and for Sunday
and Holiday work if any is perform,
ed and will recognize commitees of
the workers no job dependent upon
buying meal tickets and eating at
Terminal Restaurant.
It is probable that the prompt act.
ion of the National Urban League
prevented serious racial disorders,
for Negro strikers had been arrested
at the request of the Barge Line
authorities and charged by the local
police with inciting a riot.
The conditions which led up to the
strike were described in the follow,
ing telegram which Mr. Hill sent
after a thorough investigation of the
situation by the St. Louis Urban
League:
Your help in adjusting the follow,
ing matter is requested stop Negro
employers of Federal Barge Line
operated by War Department went
on strike in East St. Louis and St.
Louis on August Twenty Second in
protest against intolerable conditions
investigator reports men were com.
peled to remain on duty from twelve
to fifteen hours before being checked

work actually done stop they were
compelled to buy meal tickets from
Restaurant designated by superin.
tendent were refused hearings of
complaints against discrepancies in
hours work and pay and intimidated
by police summoned by government
officials.
The machinery of the Urban Lea.
gue with its 42 branches in many
different cities has been geared to a
high point of coordination for the
purpose of protecting Negro workers
in the present crisis, and the League
office is being daily advised of con.
ditions of Negro workers.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS GRILL
DIRECTOR ON JIM CROW PRACTICES
NEW YORK—(CNA) — A delega_
tion selected at the symposium on
“The Way Out for the Negro” held
last Friday night at McMillan Thea.
tre, under the auspices of the World
Problems (Cosmopolitan) Club, visit,
ed Director Coss last Monday to ask
what steps the administration was
taking to end discrimination against
Negro students.
The World Problems Club has
prove* conclusively that discrimina,
tion exists in the dormitories, in em.
ployment, and in campus social a»t_
ivitiee. Director Coss, however, not
only denied to the delegation that the
University discriminates against any
race but stated further that Columbia
University has done more for Negro
students than any other university in
this country.
Living Accommodations
Director Coss did *ot deny that six
University dormitories have not
admitted any Negro women students
this summer. These include Grant,
Sarasota, Whitter, Hewitt, Brooks
and Bancroft Halls, Seth Low and
Johnson dormitories, the only ones
which admit any Negro women stud,
ents, house less than a dozen Negro
students. There are in the neighbor,
hood of two hundred Negro women
students attending the summer ses.
sion
Job Discriminatien
Director Coss did not deny that
there were no Negroes employed in
the 4,500 positions in the offices and
on the teaching staif. When asked if
Mr Gentzler’s statement that “Uni.
versity department heads have al_
ways asked me for white students to
fill white collar positions,” was not
an indication of a definite discrim,
inatory policy of the University, Dr.
Coes refused to comment.
Social Life and Activity
Director Coss did not deny that
conditions »f prejudice existed on the
campus which kept Negro women
students from using the swimming
pool, and which kept all Negro stud,
ents out of dances, student organ,
izations, and general social activity.
The National Student League, 683
Sixth Avenue, in denouncing jim crow
conditions at the university, points
out that liie policy maintained by the
Columbia administration, that of
training Negro students to teach in
Jim Crow schools and giving courses
is dual education, promotes the se_
gregation of the Negro people. This
policy sustains the Negro people ia
their present poeition in society as
an oppressed people The Board of
Trustees of Columbia University,
which represents those manufactur
erg and bankers who utilize the op.
pressed Negro people to their own |
advantage (for cheap labor, etc.) is
the body which dictates this policy to
the administration.
The students’ interests, however*
are not those of the Board of Trustees
Students and teachers are faced with
problems of increasing fees, reduction
of teaching staffs, lowering of salar.
ies, etc. United actien on flie part of
the students and teachers is neces.
sary to effectively combat these con.
ditions.
The white students, because of
0fc«ir position in society, are bettef
able to break down the barriers of
race prejudice which divide the stud,
ents. The white students at Columbia
University must take the lead in se_
curing full equality for the Negro
students as a prelude to effective
action on their common problems in
the future.

state of the work being done by the
Nebraska Congress of Parents and
Teachers, I am glad to declare the
entire first week of October, 1933, to

The program qf this excellent organ,
ization aims to promote the highest
advantages for every child in the
home, school, church and community.
It also emphasizes the vaiue of par
ent education and encourages greater
cooperation between the home and
the school. It is hoped that the state
wide observation of parent Teacher

ciations with an increased enrollment
of members and result in better pro.
grams throughout the year and in.
crease the number of definite child
welfare projects having to do with
health, safety and character edu.
cation. There should be a parent
teacher association in every school
be a unit of the State and l^ational
Congress of Parents and Teachers.
One fourth of the entire population
in Nebraska is going to school which
places upon our educational system a
heavy responsibility involving the
future of our civiljzation. The schools
must have the proper support, intelli
gent direction and efficient operation
■wmcn a strong public spirit of co_
operation and harmony will do much
to give The Parent Teacher Asso.
t ciation is an important factor in
developing such a spirit Every citi.
zen should be deeply interested in
making the lives of the school child,
i ren better and happier, in bringing
; about a better understanding between
home and school, in solving, the pro.
blems of child welfare in the comm,
unity.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Charles
YV Bryan, Governor of Nebraska, do
hereby set aside and proclaim Oct.

and in other public gatherings give
particular consideration to the pur.
poses and program of the great or.
ganization of mothers, fathers, teach
ers and interested friends who are
giving so much of their time and ef_
fort to the Parent Teacher work Let
us endeavor to give our boys and
girls, the citizens of tomoijruw, the
best possible opportunities physically,
mentally and morally

Supreme Court Asked to
Pass on Crawford Case
WASHINGTON—(CNS) — A sec.
ond attempt to prevent the return ef
, George Crawford, colored, to Loundon
County, Ya., where he was indicted
for murder of Mrs Agnes Illsley and
her maid, Mina Buekner, was made
here last week by his attorneys in a
petition filed with the United States

to be held at Boston for extradition
and trial.
Crawford’s counsel, J. Weston Al_

trial.
CONSTRUCTION MEN
DIE FROM GLASS
DUST STRANGULATION
MONTGOMERY, W. Va.-—Silicate
dust strangulation resulting from
tunnel construction work near here is
blamed for he death of 240 men,
of them Negro workers in the drill,
ing of the tunnel under New Riyer at
Hawks Nest here.
Silicosis is the technical naiqfe giv_
en to the infection resulting from
gradually inhaling glass dust mined
out of quarries. The glass dust grad,
u-ally cakes the wall of the lungs and
solidifies into glass. There is n*
remedy for his condition. In all about
800 workers are affected; 640 are said
to be Negro from Georgia, Alabama
Arkansas and North and South Car.
olina. They were employed at starva.
tion wages to drill a three mile t«n_
nel under New River at 35 cents an
hour. The wage scale for drilling work
is 75 cents an hour.
Several lawsuits of the Negro 4
workers were thrown out of court,
but 147 so far have setled with the
company for $235,000. They are to
