Rival Baptists To Unite For Travel At Least Chicago, Aug. 28, (ANP)— While no question of amalama tion is involved, a lessening of j tension between the National j Baptist Convention, U. S .A. Inc., and the National Baptist Conven tion of America, Unincorporated may be inferred from the fact that the delegation of the two organizations will travel east on the samel train to their respective conventions this year. The incorp orated Baptists, headed by Rev. L. K. Williams will meet in New York. The unincorporated group led by Rev. G L. Prince of Texas, holds forth in Washington, D. C. The incorporated body was successful in getting a special convention rate and the unin corporated members are taking advantage of it. The delegates of both conventions from this section will gather at Chicago and make up a special train. In California, under t h e leadership of Rev. R. P. Porter, pastor of Progressive Baptist Church of Bos Angeles and Rev. W. 11. Rozier, also of the Angel City, the delegates will leave in a combina tion group. I Heard, Yes I Heard That Clarence Williams, Dan Doh erty, and Walter Bishop are inkling a melody cn Jce Louis, Titled “Look out For the Brown Bomber from Alabam” That Blanche Calloway has reorgan ized her band and is completing plans fo. another tour of the south. That Cab Calloway recently pitched a baseball game in “ChL”.That the leys up the country have been trying to dodge the “wolf” and in some instances the “wolf” left twins at their houses . . . . , That Irving Mills, manager of Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Lucky Millinder am1 the Blue Rhythm Band is taking it Easy abroad.That the present adrm.nistration has spent more dough than all the administrations from Washington through Taft combined .Well you can’t say that they didn’t try .... .That Atlanta has be come some what of a mecca for big time bands.Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong were here last week and packed them in.Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra will be there on the 14 of August and Jimmy Lunceford on the 15 of August, while ‘Fats’ Waller is slated to do hLs stuff Labor Day.Yes, I heard. The Hole in Your Pocket Press dispatches from Wash ington state that in the last 12 months $7,375,000,000 has been spent, which, with the $7,100, 000,000 that was spent the pre ceding year, makes a total peace time record spending of $14,475, 000,000 for the past two years. Money has been spent twice as fast as it has been collected from the taxpayers- But all the spend ings and all the borrowed money must eventually be extracted from the taxpayers’ pockets. At the end of the new fiscal year, it is estimated the national debt will be approximately $35, 000,000,000, or a per capita debt of $270 on every man, woman and child in the country. These figures are so staggering in size that one cannot grasp them. But the individual tax bills of various kinds that will soon be coming due, can be read ily understood by every taxpayer whose pockets will be emptied in order to pay them. Colonel Robinson, of the Yak ima, Washington, Republic, in, an swering a “reactionary” citizen who assered that taxpayers should have a voice in how their money is spent and that it should • be spent as economically as pos sible, said: “The idea that tax money should be spent economically is just as far out of date as the oth er. If tax money were spent economically, there wouldn’t be more than half of it spent, and that fact alone is sufficient to condemn the idea. The prevail ing thought is to spend public funds uneconomically, so that more funds can be raised and spent, thus putting more money into circulation and increasing power of the people.” Sarcastic as is 'this paragraph of the Colonel’s, it states a dis tressingly plain truth. Its lucid lty is positively flawless. Some day the people will wake up to the fact that they pay the bill for all the “political parents” that are given to them. Insuring Industrial Peace The Union Pacific Railroad has provided an inspiring example of progressive, far-sighted and liber al labor policies. The road wishes to unite its subsidiary accounting offices at its' Omaha headquarters in order to effect operating economies. Doing that makes it necessary for a large number of workers to move from offices in Portland, Pocatello, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and St. Joseph. A part of the economies to be gained is to be used to cushion the shock of the change in home and in em ployment to workers. On its own initiative, the com pany proposes to do the follow ing things: Jt will make no reductions in regular positions, for at least a year. To employes who cannot or will not make the move to Omaha, the road will give a dismissal wage equal to one full year’s pay, and will pay the wage either in a lump sum or in 24 equal install ments The company guarantees that for one full year from the date of the merger, no employe in Omaha will be adversely affected by the change. Employees who have bought or are buying homes that they must leave, are guaranteed protection from loss, as the railroad will either purchase the homes at a fair value, or will make good any loss resulting from a forced sale at less than reasonable value. The company will transfer to Omaha, without expense to the employees, all their household ef fects, will pay traveling expenses for the workers and their famil ies, and living expenses at Oma ha for 48 hours after the arrival of their household goods. This arrangement marks a high point in employer-employee re lationship. Policies such as the Union Pa cific has determined upon are the ibest possible insurance of indus trial peace. Safety and Efficiency of Railroads Menaced A bill to limit the length of trains is now pending in the senate. Advocates of the bill claim that it is essential to ad vancing the stafety and effici ency of rail operation. The trull of the matter, accord ing to J. Carter Fort, General Solicitor, Association of Ameri can Railroads, is that enactment of the bill, far from promoting efficiency and safety would greatly increase the chance of train accidents, interfere with standards of service, and directly raise by $150,000,000 annually the operating expenses of the railroads at a time when they are least able to foot the bill . The bill, Mr- Fort points out, would arbitrarily limit freight trains to 57 or 58 cars. This would make it largely impossible for the lines to take advantage of modern operating methods, which are the basis of adequate and economical service to the public, and which have become possible as a result of scientific develop ments and expenditure of vast amounts of money for the im provement of roadway and equipment. In additions during the last 10 years, in which lengths of trains have been steadily increased, the railroads have made an astonish ing record in preventing acci dents. No industry has done more to forward the safety of both workers and passengers—j and it is a fact, so far as the lat ter are concerned, that you are safer on a train, than in your home. If trains were shortened in length, it is believed that the accident hazard, especially in re gard to grade crossing mishaps, would be greatly increased. The proposed bill, no matter how sincere its backers, is an ex » ample of the kind of legislation which opposes its own purposes —and which, in the interest of workers, industry and the public at large, should be defeated. If Your Job Was at Stake The private automobile driver has much to learn, so far as safety is concerned, from the op erator of commercial vehicles . Prom 1927 to 1934, the number of passenger cars registered in creased 7V& per cent — while the number of such cars involved in fatal accidents rose 55 per cent. By contrast, during the same period the number of trucks in use increased 11 per cent,—while j the number involved in fatal ac cidents rose only 5 per cent- Simi lar favorable records were made by buses and taxicabs. The private driver is his own! boss. He can take chances, get in accidents, and be as reckless and incompetent as lie pleases without losing his “job”—unless the authorities step in. The com mercial operator has to drive safely—or look for another call ing. The reckless and incapable driver lasts as long with a com mercial vehicle concern as does a snowball in Hades—and the ac cident figures reflect that situa tion accurately. If every driver adopted the at titude that his job and- his liveli hood depended upon his being safe and competent the accident toll would go into a tail spin at once. As a matter of fact, lie has something even more vital at stake whenever he takes the wheel—his life, and the lives of others. Thirty-five thousand peo ple died unnecessarily last year because of recklessly or incompe tently driven automobiles. Will that happen again? Mothers—Let your boys be Guide newsboys.

Smaches Beach Bar Rye, N, Y., Aug. 28—When a dep uty county attorney sought to delay court action against two ticket sellers at Playland who had refused lockers to Negroes, his action was met by N. A. A. C. P. attorneys who served notice in open court that the New Rochelle Branch intended to send delegations each day to the park and make new cases. This threat was put into effect immediately upon adjourn ment of court when a delegation ac companied by Charles H. Houston, Special Counsel of the N. A. A. C. P. proceeded to Playland, famed West chester amusement park and bathing beach. The Playland authorities, rea lizing that the N. A. A. C. P. meant business, admitted all of the Negroes without question to the lockers and beach. The N. A. A. C. P., nevertheless, will continue its prosecution of those who previously had denied admission to colored patrons. It also will press its challenge of the right of a deputy county attorney to defend violators of the New York Civil Rrights Act.

S. Harten, Brooklyn, chairman of the local committee on arrangements . “We have been forced to make this change,” said Dr. Harten, because of the large number of Baptists scattered throughout the country who have assured the local committee that they would be here. The Coliseum is one of the largest auditoriums in the city of New York, seating 15,000 people besides the tremendous number of committee rooms, that are essential to us.” 'Governor Lehman to Speak. The program this year will, according to announcements, be one of the most comprehensive in the history of the organization.

Williams, president of the National Baptist Conven tion, to attend and to address the assemblage. Numbered among the speakesr will be Governor Herbert T. Lehman, of the State of New York, and Dr. George W Truitt, president of the World Baptist Alliance, Dr. Frederick Douglas Patterson .president of Tuskegee Institute was invited to be the principal speaker on “Booker T’. Washington Night,” which will be observed Friday, September 6, | Put was forced to decline the in | vitation but to the stress of press ing duties in connection with the launching of the new administra tion at the famous institution.

Present in dications, according to th. e local committee and messages from Dr. Williams’ office at Chicago, the forthcoming meeting bids fair to be ephochial in every way, and New York City is awaiting the opening session with anxiety.

Every phase of the program has been planned with deliberation and precision and a beneficial and harmonious meeting in every re spect is expected.

THE PLEA OF ABYSINIA After the lapse of nineteen hundred years of the Christian dispensation we are confronted with the anomalous spectacle of one Christian nation threatening the despoliation of another. The L»ion of Juda, Emperor of Aby sinia, claims unbroken descent from Xing Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. H’s people have professed Christianity since apos tolic times. Ethiopia is now stretching forth her hands to be saved from the greed and rapac ity of the Italian nation whose national spirit is typified by the Catholic Church in whose keep ing was vouchedsafed the keys of Heaven. Mussolini, who essays the role of Julius Caeser, is now striding the world like a huge Colosus. His avowed purpose is to restore the grandour that was Romes and the prestige of the ancient empire- Abysinia is his easiest first step in his mad ca reer. No greater stigma could be fall the ancient Roman army than that it should be made to go mil der the yoke of an inferior tribe. The Italian army has been made to dip colors to .the Ethiopian flag in a previous conflict. Mus solini is smarting under the stig ma of this disgrace as well as be ing spurred on by the ambition and avarice of conquest. The lion always accuses the lamb of muddying the water below him in justification of his intended assault. Of course Abysinia is re sponsible for the impending con flict. The moral blame must al ways be placed on the weaker man. Mussolm is an anachronism. He represents the survival of the age of conquest at a time when such agrandisment is put under ban by the most advanced nations of the | world. All the great nations have passed through this stage which they have not yet wholly outgrown. England has built up her world-wide dominion over palm and pine by going up and down throughout the earth seek ing what feebler folk she might devour. Her imperial purpose was the only justification deemed necessary. She picked a quarrel w i t h, feebler nations whose pos sessions she coveted ,and then de stroyed them for daring to resist the might of the British army Our own country has not escaped like unothical procedure. The national conscience would like to j forget the method by which' we acquired Texas and our far-! Western possessions from Mexico. The way we secured Hawaii, the Phillipine Islands and the Pana- j ma Canal certainly does not con tribute to our national easement of conscience. But nations have ! a way of paying little heed to serin on ie admonitions if they stand in the way of their imperial policy or purpose. Japan has done and is doing to China precisely what Mussolini proposes to do to Abyssinia. The League of Nations and the Kel logg Pact to which Italy, Japan and Abyssinia are signatory pow ers, expressly forbid the violation of the territorial integrity of any of the covenanters. Japan and Italy are not only guilty of bad faith but of poor sportsmanship The indignation aroused on the part of the other signatory pow ers against th,e aggressive intend of Japan and Italy is not so much due to their moral superiority over their condemned fellow na tion—for they all have been tar red with the same brush—as to the fact that such aggression is calculated to upset international poise and peace of mind. If Italy should be allowed to control the head waters of the Nile, Eng land's suzerainty over Egypt and her sway in the Orient might be greatly jeopardized. France like wise is not wholly devoid of in ternational jealousy; for she her self possesses African colonies. In the meantime Germany is stand ing off with jealous aloofness, not caring to see any one of her rivals gain too much headway. Our own strenuous objection to Japan's ag gression in China is dictated, not so much from pure moral consid eration as by the fact of the cov etous eye which w*e have on China trade which will not tolerate Ja pan closing the open door. The conduct of Japan may be explained on the ground that she is actuated by the ethics of one heathen nation dealing with an other. But Mussolini and the Lion of Judea are both professed fol lowers of the Prince of Peace. That Ethiopia does not belong to the white race cuts comparitively a little figure. Italy is known to nave a more sympathetic and generous attiture towards the darker breeds of men titan any of the Nordic nations. It is primari ly a question of greed and imperi al aggression. It is assuring how ever, that the nations of the earth, which are not immediately involv ed in the benefits to be derived from this aggression, are stoutly opposed to the policy of Japan and Italy. Should moral suasion or some other more effective in ternational sanction fail to check the intended assault of Mussolini, only one result is predicted The naked hand cannot• contend with the mailed fist. However, we all admire the spunk and courage of Haile Selassie w'ho defies Musso lini to his teeth. Courage and val or have her own records. It is to be hoped that he conscience of the nations of the world has be come so far developed that they are now ready to apply the Ten Commandments to international as well as to individual dealings. Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt | not kill. Kelly Miller Notice, Subscribers: If you don’t get your paper by Saturday, 2 p. m., call Webster 1750.
