•REVEALING' Lpun PAST, PRESENT ~ and EUTPRE •• L. B. C.—r have worried for some time about my father’s business and I want to know is it like I believe it to be? Ans.—Yes—your father did lose money in the last big investment that he made and he wtuld like to keep it away from your mother. It would please your father if you would ask him to let you become associated with him for at his age h3 needs a younger man in his business. A. S. M.—Will my daughter’s con dition be improved through the treat ment that she is now aking? Ans.—Her physical condition will be much improved but I do not believe that she will get permanent relief un til she has her TONSILS removed. Your family physician explained the symptoms of her case and said that her tonsils should be removed and there is nothing left for him to do but treat her locally until you make up your mind F. G.—Should I take my boy friend’s advice or is he trying to pull a gag on me? Ans —Your boy friend is acting . very manly in explaining to you that he has found someone else that he loves and is going to MARRY. He is not trying to cause you any em barassment, but on the contrary, he knows that it has been rumored for years that you loved him but he has always been on the level wtth you and considered you as his friend. Wish him luck and try to forget him. M. H. H.—What causes this con fusion in my household from the time my husband gets home unt l he leaves ? Ans.—Your husband and yourself should get together about rearing your DAUGHTER It is unfair to this young lady to always have some one to squabble over what she does and when she is going to do it—for after all she is old enough to take care of herself and should be allowed some privileges without having to slip around. I agree with you that she should be allowed to receive her friends in her home. W- N. F-—Should I depend on my wifo returning to me? Ans.—She will come back far the man that she thought she would mar ry changed his mind when she ar rived in Detroit,. Michigan with her FOUR CHILDREN. He himself, has five and he could not possibly support all these children on the salary he is making. She will return home and will be glad to get back. K. D. X.—Will you please discuss and explain the problem I have in mind? Ans—Jt seerqs to me that before entering into the business proposition that you are now interested in you should consult your UNCLE- He has financed you through school and has plans for you already so now go to him and lay the proposition before him and get his opinion. I believe that you will be able to make a good living. 1 D R,—Do you think that the folks will ever send for me and when do you think they will do so? Ans.—'Ihe family that you worked for during the Christmas Holidays have not had their home opened this \ spring but they are going to the r j northern home around the month of May and v. ill get in touch with you ; at that time. They have not forgotten your services and will pay you a good salary. — | L. N. C.—Please tell me what makes my wife so cranky? Ans.—She only gets this way when there is company around and she tries to show them how well off she is and what a wonderful provider you have been. She does not mean any harm by assuming a superior air as if she were very SNOOTY when her friends are around for they do the same. B M F.—Will I be able to make the trip that I am trying to make and about what month will I be able to go? Ans.—It seems to me that you will make a trip to visit your PEOPLE in the first week in July. The job that you are going on next week will pay you enough money for j ou to save for a vacati on. — L K.—Please tell me if I will have any success with my’ work and when will I gain anything from it? Ans.—Yes, I am happy to say that you will be able to get one of the j songs on the market that the Naional Composers Association have in their hands now. You should not wait un- j til you receive word from them about your work but should try to better what you have already done. CANDOR , By R.

Terrorizing Tenant Fanners to Force Them to Break up Interracial Union. New York April 4.—Declaring that it had been advised that only federal intervention could pre vent starvation and bloodshed among the tenant farmers in Ar kansas, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People telegraphed the Federal Relief Administration in Wash ington this week asking it to send administrators from Washington into Arkansas to see that relief is administered impartially to the share croppers and tenant farmers who are now in a bitter contest with plantation owners over evic tions and the formation of the in terracial Southern Tenant Farm-; ers Union. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union, according to the N. A. A. C. P., has been terrorized by the plantation owners and local of ficers in Poinstett county largely because it has admitted Negroes and whites into its membership, with several of the officers and members of the executive commit tee being colored men. The N. A. A. C. P. claims it has received information that local officials have offered aid to the white ten ant farmers if they would divorce themselves from the Negroes. Tension in Arkansas has been heightened during the week by threats against officers cf the union coupled with threats and a midnight visit to the home of the white attorney for the union. llDion members have been cut off of all relief and are denied per mission to hold meetings of pro test. The X. A. A. C. P. telegram to Washington read: “National Association Ad vancement ot' Colored People is advised plight of evicted share croppers and tenant farmers in Arkansas desparate with likeli hood of outbreak of violence im minent. Contest of these people with plantation owners being ag gravated by local administrators of relief in Arkansas. Thousands are reported unable to secure ade quate relief from local adminis trators who are under influence of big plantation owners. We! urge strongly that FERA send administrators into territory to supersede local officials and ad minister direct relief impartially.' Unless this is done at once every indication points to bloody out bi'eak. All our information from several sources in Arkansas in sists that federal action alone can prevent starvation and blood shed.” WHITE WORKER ARRESTED IN HARLEM OUTBREAK New York—CXA — Although the New York daily newspapers claim that the outbreak in Har lem last Tuesday night was a race riot one of the leaders of the delegation protesting the brutali ty of the police against the Ne groes in the crowd Avas Henry Gordon, Avhite, \\’ho Avas arrested by the police and charged with “inciting to riot.’ Negroes Avere joined in protest ing against the attacks of the police by hundreds of sympathet ic white people. Many other white workers were arrested for resisting the attacks of the police against Negroes. CHAIRMAN HARLEM | LABOR COMMITTEE (Continued from Page 1) finding themselves and rededicated himself to the creation of a safe har-1 bor. “There- is a difference between mer cy' and justice,” he said. “Mercy is j something, ; ou beg for; Justice is something you fight for. We have been begging too long. We must now fight. There will never be any form of equality for the Negro until there is economic equality—until the Negro has equal opportunity for the job at! equal pay. Only then will the handi-1 caps of the Negro fade away to give place to justice. “Only through Union organizations can this be accomplished,” he contin ued. “Too long have we been looking .'or happiness in heaven after death. Let us have a lit.le happiness and some of the good life now on Earth. And if we cannot do it for ourselves Set us get together shoulder to shoul der so that our children may live in a better world.” Among others at the speakers table ■ wero the following: James Bambrick, president Building Service Employees international Union; Luigi Antonini,! P.rst Vice President of the Interna tional Ladies Garment Workers’ Un ion. Ashley L. Totten, National Sec- S retary Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por ers; James Oneal, Editor of the New Leader; Herbert M.

Zimmerman, vice president of the I. L. G. W. U. and manager of Local 22 Dressmakers Un ion; WilKam Collins, N Y. Represen tative of the A. F. of L; Mr. and Mrs. Crosswaith. Collins made no bones of coming out flatly for a strong policy on the part of the Negro. “The Negro today is facing the same problems that other National and racial groups have faced in the | vast,” he said. “Those other groups have accomplished their objects and gone ahead in organization not byj asking but by demanding, not by look- 1 ing for favors but by getting togeth- 1 er and fording the justified conces sions. My office is ready to give Brother Crosswaith help.” Biographical Sketch of FRANK R. CROSSWAITH Frank R. Crosswaith has one of the ■most brilliant and consistent records to the working people of this country of any person, white or Negro. Born in Frederickstad, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, he came to this coun try in his teens. He started to work as an elevator operator and attended several schools. He is a graduate of the Rand School of Social Science, New York City, where he later was a teacher for many years. He is probably best known through his work as special organizer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in its fight to rescue the Pullman Por ters and Maids from slave conditions and give them the status of men and women. He also organized the Elevator Op erators Union, Elevator Constructors, the Union Mechanics, Barbers, Laun dry Workers and Motion Picture Op erators. Ho founded the Trade Union Com mittee for Organizing Negro Workers in 1923 and has worked with most of the unions that have Negroes in their industries since that time. For the past five years he has edited Negro Labor News Service. Frank Crosswaith is known as the Socialist Party’s foremost orator. He has run for various offices on the Socialist ticket, including President of the Board of Aldermen, Congress 21st District, Secretary of State and Governor of New York. In addition, Mr. Crosswaith is now a general organizer of the Interna tional Ladies Garment Workers Un ion, which is the third largest union within the American Federation of Labor. It has a membership of more than 300,000 and about 12,000 of whom are Negroes. He is chairman of the Harlem Labor Committee, which has been carrying on extensive and intensive work to bring Negro workers within the bona fide organ ized labor movement and fighting con structively with the said movement for complete equality of opportunity for Negro labor. The Testimonial Dinner in honor of Mr. Crosswaith’s 20 years of devoted service to the advancement of the | economic and social welfare of all workers regardless of color, race or sex has been selected as the place to fire the opening gun for the organ Have money and love magic.

GET MONEY—LOVg I ization of a United Negro Trades, which has been the If e-long dream of Mr. Crosswaith. He has always con tended that any improvement in the status of the Negro worker must come within the framework of the American Federation of Labor. To accomplish this aim there will be called a delegated conference of Negro and white trade unionists in the near future to lay the basis for the estab lishment of a United Negro Trades to serve the Negro worker as the United Hebrew Trades serves the Jewish workers, the Women’s Trade Union League serves women workers, and as the Italian Chamber of Labor serves the interest of Workers of Ital ian nationality. Mr. Crosswaith also has as a lec turer for the Socialist Party and the League for Industrial Democracy made many yearly nation-wide tours from New York to California, at which time he has spoken in practically ev ery university and college. Appointment of Frank R. Cross waith as General Organizer by the International Ladies Garment Work ers Un.on was commemorated at a testimonial dinner, Sunday evening, March 3, at Park Palace, FiLh Ave nue and 110th Street. The occasion is worthy of celebration because this is the first time one of the largest uni s of American Labor has filled such an important post from the ranks of Negro labor. •As a special tribute to Crosswaith the occasion has been selected by the Harlem Labor Committee of which he is chairman to take the first steps in the launching of the United Negro Trades within the frame of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. A distinguished list of speakers rep resenting a cross section of the Ameri can labor movement attended the function. They include William Col lins, N. Y. representative of the American Federation of Labor, David Dubinsky, president International Ladies Garment Workers Union; Jul ius Hochman, Manager Joint Board Dress and Waistmakers’ Union; James Bambrick, president build ng Service Emplo; e’s International Union; A. Phillip Randolph, president brother hood of Sleeping Car Porters, B. C. Vladek, business manager Da.ly For ward. August Classens, labor secre tary Socialist Party; and Mr. Cross waitk. An ambition program of organiza tion and education to bring the 6,000, 000 Negro workers of the country in to Umons is planned by the Harlem Labor Commit ee with the United Ne gro Trades as the instrument. Mr. Hochman, who will introduce the speakers at the dinner, said today that for many years he has regarded some such movement as the United Negro Trades as an essenliall; pro gressive step. “Race prejud'ce is absolutely absent in the union of which I have the honor to be general manager,” Mr. Hoch man said, “We have long since ex ploded the lies spread about Negro workers. We have thousands of Ne gro members and they are among the most loyal and faithful in the Union. Today he is forced in o ‘paper unions’ that are hardly more than ‘scab’ re cruiting agencies. Or he is led astray by ’.air brained movements that use him as a catspaw for demonstrative purposes. Our union has a simple pro gram for the Negro: ‘Equal opportun ity for the job at equal pay ar.d con ditions’. Around some such program, as I see it, the program of the United Negro Trades will revolve.” Mr. Crosswaith has had a distin guished h.story in the labor movement of the country. He has occupied many important posts and is well known not only as a practical organizer and field wor ker but as a writer and lec turer. William C. Handy, author of the Indigo Memphis, Beale Street and St. Louis Blues, known on and off Tin Pan Alley as the “father of the blues”, and J. Rosamond Johnson, author of the music to Paul Robeson’s cinema suc cess “Emperor Jones”, internationally famous exponents and interpreters of Negro aspirations in music, have been added to the program of the testimon ial dinner to Frank R. Crosswaith, Sunday, March 3, Park Palace Fifth Avenue and 110th Street. The dinner commemorates Cross waith’s appointment as general organ izer for the International Ladies Gar ment Workers’ Union and two decades of service in the labor movement. It is the first time that a union like the International, third largest in the United States, has appointed a negro to such a high post. As a special tribute to Crosswaith the occasion has been selected by the Harlem Labor Committee of which he is chairman to take the first steps in the launching of the United Negro Trades within the frame of the Amer ican Federation of Labor.

We have five girls and never a boy, and all my life I’ve been just d ing for a boy. My wiij laughs at me, shrugs her shoul ders and says, “ Tain’t my fault,” and thaL makes me so mad!

I have not reference to the adage, “Speak only good of the dead.” used in the sentimental wav. I have in , m’nd the terrible crime of hindering the influence of th* dead by disparag ing them and their accomplishmertts after they have gone to their reward. In Rev. 13:14 a statement that when properly translated reads: Hap py are the dead that die in the Lord .... they rest from their labors and their works do go on after them —after they have passed into eter nity. This means that the influence of one’s life does not end with death; that individuals who have been inspir ed and encouraged by others shall cont'nue the work after these bene factors have ceased to labor. The great benefactors of humanity did their work; they made their con tribution to human betterment, the world is better because they lived; and the influence of their lives will go on blessing men. To disparage the lives and the work of these departed benefactors means to hinder the in fluences of their lives. Not only is this uncharitable, considering it senti mentally, but it is a distinct disservice to others who have faith in the depart ed ones and whose lives are being in- ■ fluenced by those loyal souls deceased. Therefore, for the works’ sake and for humanit •’s sake we should not disparage the lives, character and labors of the dead, especially those who have made worthwhile accom plishments and contribution to the cause of human good.
