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.

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just as far out of date as the oth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?

New Rochelle N. A.
• A. C. P. 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.

Baptists Change Meet
ing Place
New York City, Sept. 3, (ANP)
—To accomodate the host of visi
tors and delegates expected to at
tend the 55th annual meeting of
the National Baptist Convention,
which will convene here Septem
ber 3-9, the place of meeting has
been changed from the Rockland
Palace in Harlem to the Coliseum
at 177th street and Boston ave
nue, according to an announce
ment made by Dr T. 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.
Speakers of prominence in re
ligious, civic and educational af
fairs have accepted the invitation
of Dr. L. K. 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.
Added to these guest speakers
will be a host of prominent mem
bers of the organization coming
from as far west as California, as
far south as Florida and from the
(New England States. 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. Local organizations and
churches of every denomination
have joined hands with the Bap
tists of Greater New York to
show the visiting ministers, lay
men and their families, just how
New Yorkers do things. 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.
