“IN MEMORIAM”
By R. A- Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
If you would know the reason why
In concourse we’re assembled here,
We’d hover those who dared to die,
For whom death even, had no fear;
Some still survive, and perish sotme—
’TLs “in memoriam,” we come
I
Today, we decorate the graves
And scatter flowers on the sea,
In honor of th’ immortal braves
Who fought and died for lierty.
Whose eyes ate closed, whose lips
are dumb:—
Tis “in memoriam,” we come.
But- as we now cur tribute pay
To mem’ry of heroic men,
Let us decree, e’en from this day,
That such shall never be again.
And prayers and strivin never cease
To hasten universal peace
“WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE”
By • A- Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Memorial Day is just another mile
stone in the history of the nation
It commemorates the courage, the in
comparable heroism, and the tremend
ous sacrifices by the saviors of the
nation—those who gave their all that
it might not “perish from the earth,”
and to insure its properity
We have come to this milestone,
and standing here, we view highway
markrs pointing in different directi°us
Urgent and persistent are those who
point this way and that, and urge that
the nation pursue this way or that
way- And, standing here, pertinent
is the question. “Where do we go from
here?”
ioonad jo jv* pjBAoq o3 sm H«qS
We are free from civil war but there
are those who are seeking to array
class against class and cause indust
tial war These are among us those
who would cast into the discard every
thing old and experimental with the
most vital interests of the nation.
The question is: Shall we regard the
landmarks set by the fathers or shall
we encourage this menacing experi
mental course?
The return of rum, the prevalence
of crime, the alarming departures
Irons old ethical standards, the break
down of the institution of marriage,
all indicate that the nation is turning
away from the paths which hve been
tested and tried, for theoretical and
hypothetical ones which threaten
(destruction, jpt
While we do honor to those who died
to preserve the nation, and while we
-remember that all of these and in
trests enter into the matte,, of its
perpetuity and its utility, it is well, on
*hia occasion to ask the question*.
““Where do we go from here-” And!
it is indenspensible that we renew
our fight for the moral ideals of the
nation, as the patriots whom we honoT
fought for its preservation.
WEEKLY SHORT SERMON
By Dr. A. G- Bearer
(“LEST WE FORGET”)
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Text: Beware lest ye forget the
Lord—Deuteronomy 6:12.
One of our most celebrated poems
is the one by Kipling, entitled “The
Recessional ” In this poelm often re
curs the expression, “Lest we forget.”
The author confesses Johovah to be
God of the nation,” that He si the
God “known of eld,” that He is “God
of our far-flung battleline;” and that
it is His tolerance only, that the na
tion could hold “dominion over palm
and pine- He confesses the arro
gance, pride, casts, prejudice, opres
sion and inequities of his nation and
he pleads for it tolerance nd help,
in spite of its sinS and inquitieS
ful is the constant plea;
Lord God of hosts with us yet
Lest we forget; lest we forget-”
This is our memorial occassion- We
honor the memories of our patriots
who loved the nation and offered
their all on the altar of its progress
and general advancement, many of
whom died that the nation “might
not perish from the earth. This is
right and proper, but, while we do
this we should remember that honor
is due to give consideration to this
text—Lest ye forget the Lord, and
to aropt Kiplong’s- “Lest we forget;
lest we forget.”
Living in this time of peace we
should not forget the horrors of war.
and should resolve “It shall never be
again ” Amid our prosperty we
should not forget that God is the God
of harvests; that He
“Sends the sunshine and the rain;
He sends the harvest’s golden
grain;”
and that all Is due to Him. We
sholud not for get that the victories
and the progress of the nation are
due to His help.
And, viewing the increase of crime,
the flaunting of the law, official mal
feasance and misfeance, the retro
gression of the nation in regard to
rum, the deadening of the nation’s
moral sensibilities and the evidence
of its moral decadence, we shdulo not
forget that it has been said, Right
eousness exalteth a nation, but sin is
a reproach to any people;” “The
nation and the kingdom that will not
serve the Lord shall perish;” and the
admonition contained in this text: Be
ware lest ye forget the Lord
TAXI DRIVER GOES
FREE AFTER KILL
ING MAN WHO CALL
ED HIM NIGGER
New York City — (CNS)— John
Porter. 26, a young Negro taxi driver
who killed a socially prominent brok
oobj sin tqSij tsij a ui jo
been ridiculed, was freed in Homicide
Court when the dead man’s wife and
brother, both long-time residents of
the South, asked that the charge be
dropped.
Those who obtained for Porter, who
ran away after striking Tyler Cook
Bronson on the night of May 7, were
Frederick Bronson, of Southern Pinos.
N- C-, a brother, and Mrs- Gladys
Burns Bronson, wife of the slain man.
Mir. Bronson told Magistrate Guy
Van Amringe: “Holding this man
will never ring back my brother- Mrs.
Bronson and I have investigated and
we are satisfied that the Negro chuf
fer struk my brother in self-defense,
following an argument in which Tyler
used abusive language ”
Th« Bronson family later was
thanked by the Natonal Association
for the A^vancemeijffc of Colored
People for treating the case “on a
high level, with no question of race
or coor raised in court.” After
Magistrate Amringe had dismissed
the homicide charge a crowd of Ne
groes gathered around him and the
man from North Carolina gave coins
to Porter's children
Porter testifying in his own be
fense, said he picked up two fares
outside the Sguadron A Armory, Mad
ison Avenue and Ninety-Fourth
Street. The moment they etered the
cab, Porter testified, one of them,
afterward identified as Bronson be
gan to abuse him about his color.
Porter “talked back” and the fist
fight began- Bronson got out of the
cab and was followed by his friend,
Federick C- Lloyd, an engineer living
at Hotel Roosevelt- Bronson lunged
at him. Porter said he saw a bottle
in Llyod’s hand- “I was afraid they
were both going to jump on me, so I
punched one of the men twice and
jumped into my cab and drove away.”
He said he did not know he had
• caused death of Bronson until he was
arrested two days later, a few hours
j iter Bronson died at Meredith Hospital
30 East Seventy-sixth Street

T.C. I. THUGS KILL FOUR
NEGRO ORE MINERS IN
ALABAMA STRIKE
Birmingham, Ala—Four Negro ore
miners were slaughtered last week in
a general attack upon the eight
thousand now on strike against
slavery wage differentials
The four, George Bell, W- H- Ford.
Rich Foster and Henry Whitt, were
murdered by thugs hired by the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Corporation
Bell and Ford were shot down Tues
day, Foster and Whitt Thursday.
Twenty Or thirty more ore miners
have been wounded
Machine guns have been set up
around the company towns and around
the mines, threatening the striking
miners
Militia has been called out to sup
port the thugs
About 75 percent of the strikers are
Negroes.
In Birmingham, where the Inter
national Labor Defense, the Commun
ists Party, and other organizations
arf? rallying to the support of the strik
ing miners, Chief McDuff announced
that he had “given orders to wipe out
1 Communism."
Five workers were arrested. They
included the organizational secretary
of the International Labor Defense,
Laura Stark.
A letter smuggled out by the ore
mine strikers, addressed to the Inter
national Labor Defense, is an appeal
to all those who oppose white terror
and murder, for help.
“For God's sake have the I. L. D
come and save us." the letter said.
“It all happened half a mile from T
C. I. property on the L- and N.
railroad. A group of us were standing
on the railroad. A car drove up with
a bunch of T. C. |. gun thugs. They

tried to provoke us picketers, but
didn’t succeed. Then they moved off
a little way.
“All of a sudden they opened fire
on us. It was out and out murder.
We didn’t stand a chance- They just
mowed us down- Two were killed
and their bodies picked up later in
the woods- Those who were wound
ed crawled away into the weeds to hide
but the thugs followed up and threw
them into a car and carried them into
$he mountains and left them there to
sutler. Then the T- C- I- thugs went
on to a high school and shot into the
yard- They went where they thought
the I- L- D. was holding a meeting and
fired through the window of the
church and wounded one man in the
arm-"
