Amsterdam News Staff Sees Victory New York City, Dec. 21.—From all indications, victory is within sight for the docked out editorial staff of the "Amsterdam News,” Harlem weekly newspaper. The effort of the New York Newspaper Guild to reinstate the 15 employees who were dis charged for union activity are bearing fruit according to the latest report** from the “Amster dam News” unit of the Guild. Circulation Dwindling. “Circulation continues to dwin dle, advertising remains slashed in half, and reports indicate, the publisher is experiencing exereme difficulty in meeting the payroll,” according to astatement made by Ted Poston, locked out city editor of the paper and chairman of the “Amsterdam News” unit. Mrs. Sadie Warren Davis, own er and publisher of the “Amster dam News,” fired the entire edi torial staff on October 9th, after they had asked for a collective I bargaining agreement, with the | Guild. The staff aske an agree- , ment covering working conditions, | hours, vacations, dismissal notices ] and other matters to improve | their working conditions. Miniate- < and Staff. A mass mov.-mr-nt in support of the discharged staff followed. Rev, A. Clayton Powell, Jr., pas tor of Abyssinian Baptist church, Rev. David Licorish, of St. Mathew’s Bapiist church, Rev. Wililam Lloyd Imes, of St. James Presbyterian church are a few of the prominent Ilurlem ministers who have supported the staff by picketing and speaking on the radio. Other prominent Harlemites who have condemned the stand of Mrs, Davis, are Frank Crosswaith, A. Phillip Randolph, Elmer Car ter, Mrs. Gertrude Eliso Ayer, James W. Ford, J. Mirsky, Ben Davis, Jr., and Mrs. Resye Bear den. Owner is Anti-Labor. In the course of the dispute, Mrs. La vis argued that Negroes and whites should not belong to the same trade union as in the New a' ■ Guild. She was sup ported in this position by William l’ickens, NAACL field secretary and Aiken Pope, her cousel, hith erto considered '‘liberal.’’ Mrs. Davis’ newspaper, however, pro fessed an ardent pro-labor policy, many times stating that there should be “perfect equality be tween Negroes and whites in the organized labor movement. The Guild countered, with the support of Harlem community, that Mrs. Davis did not “practice what she preached.’’ A steady picket line of Negro ; and white Guild members and sympathizers, has marched i n front of the “Amsterdam News” officers since October 9th despite frequent arrests. i ' Everybody’s going!

Addis Ababa, Dec. 21, (ONA Special Dispatch)—Fearing a ruse by the Italian forces, the Ethi opian army failed to occupy Ger logubi and Gorahai in its victory on the Southern front. Instead, the Ethiopian strategy of guerrilla warfare is beginning to have full play against Italy’s partly demoralized invaders. Italians Ambushed. An Italian force of 500 was am bushed on the Northern front suffering a loss of 50 men. The remainder of the soldiers fled leaving both ammunition and food which was seized by the Ethi opian defense for its own use. It is reported that the Ethiopians lost 15 men. The rainy season is beginnjjig near here and it is known that rains play havoc with Italian troop maneuvers. ■——I — l I III I HI WHITE FRONT LIQUOR STORE 1610 No. 21th AT 972« 1st Door North of Chicago Bakery SPECIALS SPECIALS Nite Club Whiskey—93 Proof 6 Months Old—35c '/, Pint Heere's How—90 Proof, Qt. $1.1# Wine, Fine California, fifth, 44« Lime Rickey, etc., bottle 10c ALTA VESTA A GIRL’S PROBLEMS (By Videtta Ish) (For the Literary Service Bureau) ALTA VESTA TO HER FATHER—NO. 24 Dear Father: You are the dearest on earth and I shall never stop loving you. The present was just what I had been hoping and wishing for. I love your letters, but it seemed to have been ten years since I saw you and I was so anxious to see you. I enjoyed being with you. I was glad to be a real little girl, to have you to love me, pet me and make a baby of me, as 2 know my own dear mother would have done is she had ben there and I had been with her. Now, Father, while I know you do everything for me I have an other fawor to ask. Christmas is coming and I want to help make som eothers happy, too. I wish you would let me give some pres ents to those poor girls I have been writing about. And I do want to give some to the little colored girls.

Subsidizing Foot Ball Players New York, Dec. 21, (ANP)— Subsidized football players in some leading Negro institutions ■ re dissatisfied with their lot of the words of a noted coach in one of the larger Eastern colleges ure to Ik? taken at face value. Recently, three coaches, Hucles of Union, Jones of Lincoln and Williams of Hampton were dis cussing footlmll and players while in New York City. One of the trio mentioned hav ing received a letter from a cer ts in backfield man who stated that if he and his three running mates were promised jobs for the iomirg season, he could bring | them cn masse to that particular school. A ripple of 1 slighter ran through the crowd when the other two gentlemen declared they had re ceived similar letters requesting employment in return for football playing ability. Jones said he was not in favor of coming out and paying the fel lows but he believed they should have an opportunity to help earn their way through college just as the chap whose scholarship rat ings were way up. Wililams was opposed to any such plan and said he believed in keeping the game purely amateur. Hucles wouldn’t commit himself, although he did believe that all students should be helped. Talk then drifted to various other schools where the practise of football players in finding work to help them through col lege was the first job—then if there were any jobs left, they went to the other felows. Much depended upon the out come of the games for these coaches and they had to make good. But with the average col ored college, the coaches had to take what they could get. And if there were any jobs, the boys got them. How far toward subsidiz ing these players the colored col leges go remains to he seen, but there is some subsidizing going on. Women’s Peace Con ference Condemns Discrimination New York, Dec. 21, (CNA)— The conference for Peace and Economic Equality for Women unanimously adopted a resolution calling for equal opportunities for Negro Women in the choice of oc cupation, new housing and ade quate school facilities in Negro communities, and the end of dis crimination in the granting of re lief. The conference met at the Times Square hotel ‘and was at tendd by 200 housewives and Working women, representatives of 39 women’s organizations. Mrs. Geraldine Chaney, chair man of the Jamaica Committee for Equal Opportunities, in her speech pointed out that discrimin ation was sharpest against Negro women because of their race. Others stressed that women should band together to prevent war and fascism and particularly to protect their rights and win a living wage for working women. The committe elected to carry on the work of the conference in cluded Mrs. Geraldine Chaney, Mrs. Eleanor Brinkelhoff, of the Alpha Benevolent Society, and Helen Holman, of the uptown branch of the Friends of the Chinese People. Delegates will be sent from this conference to the New York and national conferences against war and fascism to voice the needs and demands of the women of America.
