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

It’s difficult to see how, under any
imaginable circumstances, real es
tate values could sink lower. They’ve
touched the absolute bottom—now
they’re moving up. 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

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

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.

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.
