Urban League
Shows Progress
New York, Oct. 5, (ANP)—
“Which way after 1935?” will be the
topic of conversation as Urban
League secretaries from all sections
of the country gather in New York
late next month for the Twenty
fifth Anniversary Conference of the
national organization.
The National Urban League is
contemplating this fall 25 years of
work in the fields of industrial
and interracial relations and its
field force will meet at the nation
al headquarters to discuss the fu
ture program^ of the organization
in view of the quarter century of ex
perience. This will mark the first
national meeting in the New York
area for the League since 1926, and
it is expected that each of the 43
branches will find itself repre
sented at the conference table.
Beginning with a staff of two
persons in 1910, when specialized so
cial service for Negroes was almost
non-existent, the League has had
rapid growth. Today its branches are
spread throughout the nation in most
of the large industrial centers and
its employed staff numbers more
than three hundred and fifty trained
and experienced social workers. In
addition there are about 80 persons
who have been trained on Urban
League fellowships serving in the
fields of social work, research, and
the teaching profession throughout
this country and the Virgin Islands.
The last few years have seen a
very rapid shift of the responsibility
for much of the nation’s social ser
vice and employment work to the
federal and state governments. This
has naturally necessitated a shift in
the contracts and the activities of the
League. It is this new development
in their chosen field that will engage
the attention of the workers at the
October pow -wow. It is expeted that
some of the government officials re
sponsible for the various depart
ments of the New Deal and its al
phabetical agencies will also attend
and join in the discussion.
The topics listed in the tentative
programs just off the press indicate
that attention will be paid to the Ur
ban League’s future position in the
fields of industry, Negro health
work, recreation, neighborhood and
home improvement, workers’ educa
tion, and the like. The conference
will be open to the public and the
League’s national headquarters at
1133 Broadway, New York, will furn
ish further information to interested
parties.

Apparel Shop Jim
Crow Is Held
Violation Of Law
New York, Oct. 12.—The refusal
of the proprietor of a women’s
clothing shop in Cleveland, Ohio,
to serve a colored woman was held
to be an action upon which suit
could be filed under the Ohio Civil
Rights Law, in an opinion given by
Judge Lewis Drucker of the Cleve
land Municipal Court. The full
opinion has just been received here
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peopple
Mrs. Ellen Sissle, through her at
torney, Chester K. Gillespie, had
filed suit against Harvey, Inc., al
leging that she had been refused
service. The store answered the
suit by saying that there was no
cause of action since women’s ap
parel shops were not named in the
Civil Rights Law. In making his
decision, the judge stated:
“The question remains whether
defendant’s place of business is a
public place. On the allegations of
the petition admitted for the pur
poses of this demurrer, we think
there can be no serious question but
that it is a public place, open to all
the people whose needs it may sat
isfy for a consideration. In other
words that it is no different from
any other place of business which
offers its wares to the general pub
lic, who is able or willing to pay
the price therefore.
“Having in mind the declared ob
ject of the statute and the spirit in
which it has been consistently con
strued by the courts of Ohio, we are
of the opinion that the petition
states a cause of action.”
South Carolina
White Minister
Flays Prejudice
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 12, (ANP)
—Rev. B. J. Corbett, prominent
white minister flayed prejudice in
all of its forms, here Sunday night,
in a sermon delivered at the South
side Baptist church.
Speaking on “The Sin of Prej
udice,” Dr. Corbett declared that
prejudice against persons, races,
religions, creeds and sections of the
country were unchristian and that
no good can come out being prej
udice. “A prejudiced person” said
the minister, “disqualifies hjmself
for any service whatever. He builds
a wall around himself and will not
let the facts enter. He stops his
ears and will not hear, and shuts his
^yes so that he can not see. There
fore let me urge you to keep your
heart with all diligence from prej
udices.”
As we near the cold winter
months there will be more indoor
affairs and for those of our friends
who do not know toasts we will
give a few here that wll be ap
propriate for the fireside nip.
Here is one for the girls:
“Here’s to the swan that swims
near yon fair shore, .
I love one truly and I love no more
May willow-branches bend and
break
Before that one I shall forsake.”
For the fellows we offer the
following:
“Here’s to the girl that’s strictly
in it,
Who doesn’t lose her head even for
a minute,
Plays well the game and knows
her limit,
And still gets all the fun there’s
in it.”
The beer drinkers might like
something like this:
“Here’s to the girl I love,
I wish that she were nigh,
If drinking beer would bring her
here,
I’d drink the damn place dry.”
—0—
The married man of course will
drink to his wife so here goes:
Here’s to man’s friend and adviser,
His comfort and helpmate through
life,
To his failings and meekness none
wiser,
To the best little woman—my
wife.”
—0—
And here’s one for the married
woman:
Here’s to the man who loves his
wife,
And loves his wife alone,
For many a man loves another
man’s wife,
When he ought to be lovin’ his
own.”
—0—
The attorney has his own:
Here’s to bride and mother-in-law,
Here’s to groom and father-in-law
Here’s to sister and brother-in
law
Here’s to friends and friends-in
law
May they all need an attomey-at
law.”
—ft—
And for all of us here are a few
selected ones:
“The Frenchman loves his native
wine,
TJie German loves his beer,
The Englishman loves his ’alf and
’alf,
Because it brings good cheer.”
“The Irishman loves his “whiskey
straight”,
Because it gives him dizziness,
The American has no choice at all,
So he drinks the whole D
business.”
There is no comparison between
wine and women. Wine improves
with age.

“While we live, let’s live in clover,

A shady nook by moon’s soft light

Rome, Italy,—(CNA)—An in

will pursue to “civilize” the Eth
iopians if he is permitted free
reign in East Africa is contained
in a recent issue of “Lavoro Fas
cista’’, a fascist periodical.
An article relates how fascist
culture is injected under the
skins of the Askaris, native Erit
rean troops. No ordinary methods
of discipline are used, it states,
for “Nothing is more damaging
to the morale of the Askari sold
iers than mere reprimand.’’
“If a native soldier makes a
mistake he is punished by the of
ficer with 10 or 15 days’ arrest,
and is also beaten with the ‘ku
bash’ (a whip made of hippipita
mus hide).
“The soldier lies on the ground
and bares his back, whereupon
blow after blow is rained on him.
The system of the ‘kubash’ has
been in force for 50 years and
is stil lhighly respected.”

Dr. Slocum Addresses
Old Agre Pension Club
In his address to the combined
groups of the Townsend Old Age Pen
sion Club, at the Fontenelle Hotel,
Tuesday, October 1, Dr. J. E. Slocum
made the following statements in
his speech. “The members of the
Townsend Old Age Pension Club, must
possess that Yankee Doodlism, which
is so essential to a group of this
kind. People do not always do the
things they think, but the things
they feel; unless you feel all the way
through, sincerely and faithfully, will
you be able to put over the great
cause of this plan.
“While in Beverly Hills, California
I first took notice of the work of the
Townsend plan, but at that time I
believed it to be just another im
practical and improbable plan. How
ever, on my return home, my father
and I discussed this movement, my
father said the plan was to give $200
a month to the aged, the money was
to be taken out of the sales tax. At
the conclusion of his talk, we figured
that $200 a month would be such a
help to the aged,to keep them from
worrying about being dependents and
a burden. Both my father and I were
under the impression that it was just
a fantastical plan, and laid it to one
side. I went back to California, and
was asked by a Dr. Hall to speak
to the Townsend club. He asked me to
talk about anything I wanted to, as
J did not think much of the move
ment, I refused to talk on any sub
ject pertaining to it. But he was a
shrewd fellow, and gave me a book
called “The Speakers Manuel” in or
der to get a subject on which to speak
to the group. Before I had concluded
reading that book, I was jarred down
to a conviction that it was the sal
vation of the people of America.
America is traveling in bad company.
She, China and Italy are the only na
tions which have not made any pro
visions for her citizens over sixty
years of age.
I hope I might stimulate you to
register at the poll that which is
necessary to put this movement a
cross. Our politicians are coming
home now; we are approaching clos
er and closer the time when they
want to come before groups and pre
sent their plans or intentions; when
they have concluded you have just
one thing to settle will he vote for
the Townsend Old Age Pension plan.
If he is for it, then, we are for him,
if he is against it, then we are
against him.
I happpened to hear a man known
as ‘The Wandering Reporter’ over
the radio given us the experiences
of the happenings of the week he said
‘in the meeting I attended of the
Townsend movement there has been
something resembling a religious
fantastical zeal.’ This was a compli
ment.
This plan is one of the most rap
idly growing movements of the day.
Dr. Slocum read “Eulogy to a
Dreamer”, and dedicated it to Mr.
Townsend and in conclusion he re
cited Edgar Guest’s immortal poem
“Faith”.
Over 500 people were at this meet
ing, most of which were people of
60, or fast approaching that age.
Trouble In W. Virginia
Bluefield, W. Va., Oct. 5—(ANP)
—Threats of violence and to “blow
up the tracks of the Norfolk and
Western Railway” caused 32 Negro
laborers to stop work an the tracks
in Buchannan county, Va., Thursday
evening. The threats were delivered
in person by more than 200 whites,
who declared that “No Negroes had
ever lived in Buchannan county and
we are not going to stand to see it
started now”. The crew moved over
to Grundy county and resumed work.
According to reports received here,
the 32 workers arrived in Buchannan
county early Thursday morning and
after setting up the camp started to
work. 200 stood on the opposite side
of the tracks, well into the shadows,
five marched into the railroad camp
and delivered the ultimatum. Camp
was broken immediately and the work
ceased. The spokesman made it plain
that the action was not taken be
cause white men wanted the jobs
but that Negroes just could not live
in Buchannan county.

ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
CUTTING THE COST OF FOOD
Constant headway is being made
in solving an old persistent problem
—that of reducing the spread in the
cost of food between producer and
consumer.
Large scale buying and selling
methods are narrowing that spread.
The chain grocery systems led the
way in showing the consumer how
to get the most in both quality and
quantity for his dollar. Now inde
pendent stores, banded together in
purchasing groups, have followed the
lead and are performing a similar
public service.
A Dow-Jones News Service item
indicates the kind of progress that
is being made. It tells how one chain
grocery system recently reduced its
regular quarterly stock dividend
from 75 to 50 cents—in spite of the
fact that its total sales have greatly
increased. Profits had not increased
proportionately, for the reason that
the system had to pay higher prices
for farm products and manufactured
goods, but it did not increase the
price to consumer, proportionately.
Its purpose is to continue to supply
its costomers with high quality
foods at the lowest cost, and to
achieve that it is deliberately cutting
its uniformly small margin of profit.
This same system is now spending
$46,000,000 a year for foodstuffs in
a single state—thus carrying thei
benefits of mass buying and selling
methods to the producer as well as
the consumer in the territories in
which it operates.
The housewife and the farmer are
profiting by the modern system of
retail distribution of food products
which is more and more passing on
to the consumer the savings being
made by eliminating unnecessary
handling charges between producers
and consumers.
WHAT FIRE PREVENTION
MEANS TO YOU
The coming of Fire Prevention
Week, which will be observed be
tween October 6 and 12, makes it
worth while to meditate on wha
fire prevention means to you as an
individual, a taxpayer, a home owner
and a worker.
Fire prevention saves lives—yours
and your loved ones. Thousands of
people are now cremated each year
—because somone was careless.
Fire prevention is the friend of
the home. Without it, your home
may be turned to ashes—and insur
ance can never replace the many
intangible values each home repre
sents. Money cannot compensate
for everything.
Fire prevention tends to keep
taxes down. Eacn time a fire de
stroys taxpaying property, thus re
moving it from the tax rolls, higher!
taxes must be paid by all other prop
erty within the community.
Fire prevention keeps insurance)
rates down. Over a period of years,
the rate for each locality is based
upon fire loss—many fires mean
high rates.
Fire prevention is the friend of
employment. When a fire destroys
a business, jobs are lost, and thous
ands of dollars in purchasing power
is lost with them. Untold privation
and misery can result.
Fire prevention means progressive
towns and cities. Cases are on rec
ord where a single fire, destroying
a town’s main industry, has resulted
in permanent retrogression, at the
expense of property and all other
values in the community.
Prevent fire—and save lives and
money. Do your part during Fire
Prevention Week.
