Hotel Bars “Black Birds”
NEW YORK, November 7—(CNA)
—The greater portion of the “New
Black Birds” was subjected to the
most, abject humiliation by the
management of the Park Central
Hotel at 54th Street and 7th Ave
nue, a few days ago, when a troupe
of the players attempted to reach the
studio of a photographer who had
been contracted to make pictures of
the group.
A stiff verbal battle ensued be
tween meifiber of the cast and the
manager of the hotel when the man
ager threatened to evict the group!
bodily from the lobby of the hotel.
Altho the actors threatened to bring
suits against the hotel for violating
the equality statue most of them
were cowed down by their manager
into using the freight elevator. In
spite of the efforts of Lew Leslie,
the manager of the show and his
brother, news of the incident leaked
out.
French Paper Reveal Slave
Traffic
PARIS, France, November 7—(CN
A)—“Price of Women in South
Africa Down 60 Percent,” is the
headlines in a French African paper,
the “Tunisien” quoted in a recent
number of “LaDefense,” organ of the
International Labor Defense of j
France.
The quoted article proves the con
tention of the French ILD., that
French Imperialism has in no way
put an end to slavery, but rather put
it on a more cruel and business like
basis. The aricle is carried by the
“Tunsien” as an ordinary item of
business news.
At this moment a woman of super
ior quality, which is to say young,
healthy, unmarried and beautiful ac
cording to local taste, is worth just a
little over 1,000 francs A woman of j
medium quality costs'350 francs, and:
it is feared that heavy offering on
the market will lower the price still
further.”

LYNCHERS OF HAWAIIAN
NATIVE PLAN DIVORCE
Lynchers of Hawaiian Nat
ive Plan Divorce
—
NEW YORK, November 7—(CNS)
—Tragedy that overtook Mrs. Thalia
Fortescue Masse in Hawaii, where
she was the victim of a bruttal at
tack that shocked the nation, has
wrecked her marriage to Thomas H.
Massie, LSN.” is the N. Y. American
of October 14th, describes the rum
ors of imminent divorce between the
two white blue bloods, who engineer
ed and carried out the lynching of
Joseph Kahahawaii, native worker
of Honolulu back in 1931.
Mrs. Massie, who had “peculiar
tendencies,” did not enjoy the social
functions indulged in by her hus
band, the Lieutenant, but preferred
to wander off alone, by the sea in
the woods, where she could presum
ably commune with her thoughts. On
one of these occasions, she strolled
off alone into the night from a Hon
olul night club, and on returning
home in the early morning announced
that she had been raped by five
natives. Lieutenant Massie, USN.,
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Granville
Forestque, society leader, and two
officers of the Navy, (sworn to up
hold law and order), engineered a
diabolical plot, and in cold blood
murdered Kahhawaii, a native work
, er, who they claimed was the ring
leader of the “attack” on Mrs. Mas
sie.
The four white aristrocrats who
had lynched Kahahawaii were de
fended by the famous lawyer Clar
ence Darrow, chief of the legal staff
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
They were “convicted” as they never
even denied th bestial crime, but
sentence was commuted after they
served one hour. Darrow did every
thing possible to uphold the tradi
1 tions of the Southern ruling class by
| attempting to have a jury with no
dark-skinned people on it. By rush
ing to the defense of the four mem
bers of the white artistocracy in
I their cry or “rape” not only Mr.
! Darrow but the NAACP. came out
j openly in support of lily white jur
ies, and in defense of lynch law.
The Massie case, because of its
sensational nature was exploited in
the pre.ss all over the world. When
letters demanding court martial of
Lieutenant Massie, and Navy officers
I Lcrd and Jones, were sent to Presi
dent Hoover and Secretary of the
Navy Adams Mr. Adams replied that
he “deprecated further agitation of
the case.” Hawaii is an important
naval base.
MIDWIVES INCREASE IN NUM
BERS AND GAIN ON DOCTORS
- ;
Tag—Midwives Increase in Numbers
WASHINGTON November 8—The
depression is given as the reason for
a great many decreases and changes
in business methods. From North
Carolina comes the report that with
an increasing number of Tar Hotel
mothers being delivered by midwives
owing to the depression the State
Board of Health through the Division
of Maternity and Infancy is waging
an intensive campaign to instruct
practitioners of midwifery.
“We’ve gor six nurses in the field
undertaking to better the character
of midwife work” said Dr. Cooper
yesterday “and they are producing
good results.”
They are holding classes in various
counties and are issuing through the
county health department letters of
registration to properly equipped
midwives.
The number of mothers delivered
by midwives in 1932 increased by 33
per cent over the 1931 number.
“The piace to start reducing the
infant and maternal death rates is at
the beginning” said Dr. Cooper. “We
hold midwifery is a necessary evil
and therefore improvement of their
service is the logical thing to do.”
There are about 5000 midwives in
North Carolina nearly twice the
number of physicians. Most of their |
practice is among the poorer classes
of people.
Last year 26039 mothers were de
livered by midwives 51840 by physi
cians. Deliveries were made as fol
lows by physicians: white 45,40; Ne
gro 6082; Indian 219. In 1931 physi-'
cians delivered: white 44898; Negro j
7225; Indian 246.
Midwives in 1932 delivered: white:
8121; Negro 17514; Indian 400. In
the previous year the figures were:
white 6908; Negro 15993; Indian 333.
“The increase in deliveries by mid-:
wives is evidently an effect of the
depression” observed Dr. Cooper. In
1930 the Bureau of the Census re
ports that there were 164 Negro
physicians and 356 Negro trained
nurses in North Carolina.

NEGRO GETS FIVE YEARS FOR
FIGHTING LYNCH MOB
POPULAR BLUFF, Mo. Novem
ber 8—(CNA)—In this small South
ern town, as in most Southern towns,
it’s hard to tell the difference be
tween the sheriff’s posses and a
lynch mob. In most cases they are
the same. So James Turner, Negro
citizen and man about town ran like
hell when pursued by a mob of“ an
gry” citizens dowm Main Street the
other day and when his feet began to
fail him and the mob was aPout to
overtake him he fired a shot in the
air from a delapidated old Indian
pistol, hoping to frighten the mob.
3eheld, the sheriff was leading the
mob. Altho Turner was guilty of
nothing he was given five years in
jail for firing at a police officer.
!FRANK SPENCER ALLEGED
i LYNCHING WITNESS SOUGHT bY
MARYLAND AUTHORITIES
BALTIMORE, November 7— (CN
S)—In its very full and graphic ac
count of the lynching of George
Armwood at Princess Anne last week

Scottsboro Meeting
A Success
H. Schroeter
Hundreds of Negroes and whites
crowded to capacity the Dreamland
Hall, Tuesday, to hear all about the
Scottsboro case.
Mother Patterson told of her boy
looking for work, before his arrest
and then his life in prison, and the
attempts to railroad him with the
other Scottsboro boys to death.
Richard Moore, Negro speaker,
touring for the ILD. was the prin
ciple speaker of the evening. Hei
gave a clear detail account of the!
history of the Scottsboro case. A i
number of lawyers failed to defend 1
the nine Negro boys. The Internat
ional Labor Defense gets the case
and begins to organize mass
struggles to free the boys. The lynch
verdict of the Scottsboro boys is
possible because of the white boss
class rule in the south. He points
out that not until this rule of the
white landlords and capitalists is
smashed can the Negroes be free.
The same rulers of the Negro work
ers are the rulers of the white work
ers too. So it is necessary that the
Negro and white together must
smash this lynch terror.
Helen DeMark, district organizer
of the International Labor Defense,
was chairman of the meeting and
made a stirring appeal for members.
Reception speeches were made in
support of the Scottsboro boys by D.
Bliecher of the Friends of Soviet
Union and by Carl Rode of the Com
munist Party. ,
C. C. Gallofay of tie Omaha Guide
gave an account of the Ritz Theatre
stink bomb affair as an apparent ef
fort of discrimination against Ne
groes in joining trade unions.
A resolution was adopted demand
ing the immediate release of the
Scottsboro boys.
Lester Carter, one of the main de
fense witnesses was scheduled to
speak. However he was conspicuous
by his absence. He was unable to
stand the strain of the tour, fell sick
in Kansas City, and was sent to New
York City.
The tour of Moore and Patterson
continues to Sioux City, Waterloo,
Iowa and DesMonies Iowa where it
will «nd.
The local branch of the ILD. will
consolidate the gains made by this
sucessful mass meeting. It will pre
pare to carry on an intense cam
paign here in Omaha, to free the
boys, who are now facing another
trial on November 27th in Decatur,
Alabama.
