Bank clearings for the finst
week of the New Year in the 22
leading cities of ihe United States
amounted to $5,372,940,000, or 22

week were made by Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland and Cincinati.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF
ADMINISTRATION
17.000 Unattached Negro Male Trans
ients Cared for By FERA.
The report of December 15 on the
transient relief program to Harry L.
Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief
Administrator, shows 17,000 unat
tached male Negroes of all ages being
cared for by the transient bureau of
the FERA. This is 11.22 per cent of
the total number of unattached male
transients.
There were 750 Negro unattached
women on the transient rolls. This is
15 per cent of the total number of un
attached female transients under care.
The ratio of colored transients ap
pear to be more nearly equal to that
of the Negro population than the gen
eral family relief load, which runs
nearly 18 per cent of the total num
ber of persons on relief; while the
Negro population is only 12 per cent
of the whole population according to
the 1930 census. Nine thousand more
Negroes in family groups aad other
individuals in familes were cared for
by the FERA transient bureau, re
ported in two separate divisions of
2.000 and 7 000 respectfully.
The two largest age groups of these
transients irrespective of race, range
between 25 and 34 years which make
up 25 per cent of the total number
and those from 34 to 44 which com
pose another twenty per cent. The
next two largest groups are between
the ages of 21 and 24, totaling 13 per
cent; and 45 to 54 m,ake up another
17 per cent. Those under 16 years of
age was almost negligible accounting
for only fifty-four hundreds per cent
of the total number.
FLORIDA FERA SLAVERY
COMPACT IS EXPOSED
New York, Jan. 25.—Connivance
of FERA officials with white employ
ers of Groveland, Florida, to exploit
Negro relief workers on private work
has been exposed by tne National Ae
soc'atioa for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
Investigation by the Federal Emer
gency Relief Administration at Wash
ington. D. C. following protest from
the N. A. A. C. B. revealed that
twenty-five Negro workers on the re
lief rolls were forced to cut cord wood
on land which had reverted to the
State for non-payment of taxes. Ten
of the colored mea refused, knowing
it was not legitimate relief work, and
were promptly stricken from the relief
rolls by Mrs. 0. F. Mayes, FERA aide
who had agreed to let A. C. Yonnollv
of Tavaros, Fla. have the men to ful
fill a contract he had made to sell
wood to nearby grove owners. The
land on which the timber stood had
been leased by another white man,
J. Ray Arnold, owner of the Arnold
Lumber Company of Groveland. But
owing to failure of Arnold to pay his
taxes, the land had reverted to the
State.
In order to stay on the relief rolls,
fifteen of the Negroes continued to
work until they were arrested by the
local sheriff and his deputies for cut
ting wood on State land. Six workers
eluded the deputies and escaped. The
other nine were jailed. The two white
men, however, were promptly released
upon their own recognizance, immed
iately following their arrest.

t Florida FERA officials contend
that the Negroes were to be paid by
i Yonnolly for their work and for that
I reason they were dropped from the re
' lief rolls. But the Negroes claim they
were forced to do this private work
or be removed from the relief rolls.
The nine Negroes have been releas
ed. The N. A. A. C. P. is trying to see
whether they have been restored to
the relief rolls and whether the two
wh.te men have been prosecuted. A
demand has been made that Mrs.
Mayes be ousted for her connivance
with the white employers.

H. L. MENCKEN TO TESTIFY AT
SEN ATE HEARINGS ON COS
TIGAN-WAGNER BILL
New York, Jan. 25.—The sub-com
mittee of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee will shortly bold hearings in
Washington on the Costigan-Wagner
anti-1 <nchng bill, according to the
Natioaal Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, leading sup
porter of the legislation.
The Association announced that H.
L. Mencken, noted Baltimore critic
and outstanding opponent of lynching,
will attend the hearings and speak in
favor of the passage of the Costigan
Wagner anti-lynching bill. This will
be an unusual departure for Mr.
Mencken as he is known never to make
public addresses. His caustic denun
i c ation of the Princess Anne 1 nch
ings in the Baltimore Sua aroused a
| storm of protest from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland.
It is learned on good authority that
Senator Joseph P. Guffey, new Dem
ocratic member from Pennsylvania,
will publicly espouse the bill on the
floor of the Senate. The fight will
again be led in the Senate by Sena
tors Edward P. Costigan of Colorado
and Robert F. Wagner of New York,
co-authors of the measure. The lead
ing opponent of the bill is said to be
Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana,
who last year sought to show there
was really no need of the bill. Since
then there have been three lynchings
in Louisiana.
