SAFE WALKING The Travelers Insurance Company: has issued an interesting report on the hazards faced by pedestrians on streets and highways, that deserves wide notice. Many of the facts produced are certainly obvious to anyone who bothers who have thught about it are rare. It’s obvious that the safest place for the pedestrian to cross a street is at an intersection with the signal—yet thousands of people were killed last year because they crossed against the signal, or what diagonal ly from corner to corner, or crossed in the middle of the block. According to the Travelers, crossing in the middle of the block has 156 per cent more chance of resulting in death to the offender than in cross ing properly. ing until it’s too late to stop or. avoid them. The influence of the sea-1 sons is likewise important — in the first and last quarters of the year the rate of pedestrian deaths is 25 per cent greater than in the second Safe walking is something the and third quarters, country needs to learn. Last year the pedestrian death toll came to 13,500 —a ghastly achievement for care lessness and ignorance. REAL ESTATE AT THE BOTTOM In one of its recent releases, the Company, which makes a business of always cautious Standard Statistics fact-finding uninfluenced by opinion or prejudice, reports that real estate values are extremely deflated, that building costs are rising, and that the time is highly opportune for con struction as an investment.

And construction, under the spur of recovery plans, is moving out of the doldrums that kept the industry at a standstill for three years, and is reaching sounder levels. Bankrupt prices aren’t going to be offered us much longer. In the near future, we’re going to pay twenty or fifty or a hundred per cent more to build and repair than we would have to pay now. We're going to pay more for land, lumber, roofing materials, cement, heating equipment — every thing needed for home building. Yes, its really the time to build. Opportunity is knocking now more loudly than it ever knocked before—r and thousands of people with money to spend are taking advantage of it. As for those other thousands who have the money but prefer to “wait and see, well, they might meditate on the fact that by the time they do find out that things are really changing, it will probably be too late to do anything about it. 14-CENT WAGE IN LAUNDRY CODE WILL BE OPPOSED WASHINGTON, November 21— When the hearing is called Monday November 20 by N. R. A. officials on the code for the laundry trade, a brief opposing the 14 cents an hour wage for colored women workers in the South will be presented by the Joint Commmittee on National Re covery. Walter White, secretary of the NAACP., which is one of the or ganizations in the joint committee, will read the brief. The laundry trade has divided tiie country into six each territory. The country is divid ed so that the socalled “black belt” states are all in one group and have the lowest wage fer ordinary laundry workers—14 cents an hour. In the group just above the lowest, the wage is 20 cents an hour. The low group states include North Carolina, South Carolina, part of Florida, Ala bama, Georgia, Mississippi. Louis iana and part of Texas. Under the proposed code a week would be forty wai/^c Naborhood vdicy 3 GROCERY 27th at Grant We. 6089 Open Sun.

SENATOR WAGNER TO KEEP WATCHFUL EYE ON LEVEE JOBS NEW YORK, November 21 — De spite his taxing duties as chairman of the National Labor Board settling labor quarrels under the N. R. A. Senator Robert F. Wagner has pro mised the NAACP. to keep “a watch ful eye” over any developments which might affect unfavorably the Negro workers on flood control pro jects. “Rest assured,” he writes Walter White of he NAACP., “that I will do everything possible to in sure the strict observance of the written agreements which we have secured after a sharp battle.' N. A. A. C. P. ASKS PRO TECTION FOR THIRD SCOTTSBORO TRIAL NEW YORK, November 21—A telegram urging Governor B. M. Mil ler of Alabama to “meet all require ments of an extraordinary situation” at Decatur when the third Scottsboro trial starts November 27 was sent today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples, 69 5th Avenue. “Substantial, conservative and re liable white citizens of Alabama in form us that so intense is the feeling in Alabama that the bringing of the Scottsboro defendants to trial at this this time will be practically an, in vitation to a wholesale lynching,” the telegram said. Walter White, the association’s secretary, said he had been advised that Judge W. W. Callahan, who will preside at the trial has refused to call for state troops to guard a gainst mob violence. URGE ANTI-LYNCH LAW BALTIMORE, Md., November 21— A resolution urging a state anti lynching law for Maryland and a fed eral anti-lynching law was passed here tonight by the Baltimore branch of the NAACP. after a speech by Walter White, NAACP. secretary. The resolution urged the state law to provide for payment of damages to the kin of victims, to empower the governor to summarily remove a sheriff or other officials who permit lynchings and to punish lynchers and lax officials. The resolution called upon colored people to secure promises in writing from their senators and congressman for the support of a federal anti lynching law, without any “weasel words.” The meeting also urged | Governor B. M. Miller of Alabama to provide the Scottsboro trial with all possible protection. YOUNG COLORED ART TIST DESIGNS N. A. A. C. F. SEAL NEW YORK, November 21—A new NAACP.

GIVEN JUDGMENT FOR BEING BARRED FROM VIR. PRIMARY Tag—Given Judgment for being bar NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Novem-1 ber 22—(CNS)— Denied the privi lege of voting in the August Demo cratic primary, L. E. Wilson has been given a judgment against the three Hampton City election judges who repulsed him. Judge C. Vernon Spratley of Elizabeth City County Circuit Court, gave the decision. The case, it is said, will be appealed to the State Supreme Court. When the case was tried in the October term of the court a jury rendered a verdict in favor of the de fendant election judges. Counsel for the plaintiff moved to set aside the verdict, and in today’s decision Judge Spratley upheld the motion. The judge fcaid a jury would be im paneled, probably in the next term of the court to assess damages in favor of the plaintiff Wilson sued for $10, 000. “The court does hold that when a political party makes use of election machinery of the State, “Judge Spra tley said, “and holds its primaries under and subject to primary laws of the State, the conduct of same, and the participation therein, is subject to the general laws of the State. “The party itself cannot, in a state-conducted primary, deny its privileges to those who subscribe to its principles and tenets, nor can it make lawfully discrimination because of race, color or previous condition of servitude." The contention of counsel for the defense in the case was that the State Democratic party rules per mitted participation at primaries by white voters only, and that three judges of the Hampton Courthouse precinct had barred Wileon because he was a Negro. » , —-— 1 HOMESTEAD PLAN DECLARED EFFORT AT SEGREGATION NEW YORK, November 21—Firm opposition to separate Negro colo nies, communities, or homestead sub sistence colonies was announced here this week by the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Col ored People. The NAACP. said it was opposed to the federal government setting up separate Negro colonies, no matter what name is given them. This posi tion has been taken also by the Joint Committee on National Recovery of which the NAACP. is a member. For some weeks a quiet battle has been going on behind the scenes in Washington, with certain govern ment officers, led by Dr. Clark How ell Foreman, attempting to get Ne gro “leaders” to endorse the home stead subsistence plan. Dr. Foreman announced on October 12, in an inter view in the Chicago Daily News that he believed the economic problems of 12 million colored people could be solved only by building up separate Negro communities. He declared also that he believed the homestead sub sistence plan should be “the begin ning” of such all-Negro communities. In spite of saying all this, Dr. Fore man declares he does not believe in segregation. Thoughtful colored peo ple cannot see the difference be tween his plan and segregation. Twenty-five millions of dollars were appropriated by congress to finance the homestead plan. It calls for the setting up of five-acre plots of ground and houses to allow peo ple to raise food and have shelter. Some employment for heads of fam ilies will be provided for by indus trial plants to be located in the colo nies. The NAACP. contends that the greatest menace to colored people is contained in the plan to have the government itself establish separate Negro colonies. This would establish a precedent which every state and community would feel free to follow. It might lead to Negroes being told to seek out these separate commun ities if they do not like the restrict ions imposed in the places they now live. It might lead to Negroes being virtually deported from cities to rural communities. Most dangerous of all, it would set up segegation as the proper method of handling color ed people. The NAACP. has written Dr. Bruce Melvin, director of the home stead plan, and Clarence E. Pickett, assistant, that homesteads, should be open to all and that Negroes should be included in the government pro gram and not separated from it. There is some talk from Washing ton on pretty good authority, that some individuals among colored peo ple have been carrying on the usual “deals” with he government, urging these segregated Negro colonies so they can secure positions as incor porators of such villages and thus handle some of the money. The N. A. A.. C.. P.. is serving sharp warning that there can be no compromise on segregation by the government and that anyone, on matter how promin ent, who aids such a scheme, and es pecially for his own private gain will be exposed to the country as an arch-traitor of the race. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS President Roosevelt said of the Swope proposal that the present time is not propitious for a change in plan— that “the next few months are expected to bring forth hundreds of other plans.” Then he issued a summary of reports showing late achievements of the N. R. A., including: New employment for 2, 000,0000 people; increase in industrial outlets; a 20 per cent rise in hourly wages and 40 per sent drop in working hours. To his defense came distinguish ed Professor Edwin Seligman, saying that the depression is actually ending; that for the first time in history recov ery from the bottom is being speeded consciously and effectively; that there is no basis for fear of uncontrolled inflat ion; that we are in the midst of a social revolution within the framework of cap italism, which promises lasting benefits. Another very important bone of contention is the securities act. Some of the Administration^ best friends, as well as business executives, believe it needs overhauling, is not only prevent ing issuance of worthless securities, but securities entirely legitimate and most essential to industry. “ALONG THIS WAY” PRIZE ESSAY CONTEST EXTENDED TO DEC. 30 NEW YORK, November 22 _ The Viking Press Inc., publishers of ALONG THIS WAY,” the autobio graphy of James Weldon Johnson, announce an extension—by request_ of the time limit for the $25 prize essay contest on the subject "What This Book Means to the Negro Stud ent” to December 20, as previously announced.

War Veterans First To Aid N. A. A. C. P. Silver Jubilee Fund NEW YORK, November 21—A contribution was received this week from the Negro war veterans iii Bar racks No. 8, Veterans’ Administra tion Home in Kansas toward the 25th anniversary fund of the H.
