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.

Ethiopian Array
Foresees a Few
Italian Tricks
Five Hundred Italian Soldiers
Ahbushed.
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.

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. One o fthem said they did
not expect much because they are
so poor and Santa Claus does not
always go to poor people. What
ever you send to me I will have
Aunt Cornelia help me buy the
presents. Lots of love and a thou
sand kisses.
Alta Vesta.
I'. S I wish I could be with you
on Christmas, but I shall remem
ber my Thanksgiving visit and be
happy.—A . V.
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.

Married Woman Went Spying
and found a Love Letter m Her
Husband’s Pocket—Husband Says
He Did It to Catch Wifey Because
He Thought She Was Meddling—
Can't Tell What Is Truth, So
Wifey Better Beg Pardon and
Keep Out of Hubby’s Pocket.
(For advice, write to Maxie

ply send self addressed, stamped,

Maxie Miller: I an* heart sick
and J don't know what to do. I
found a letter in my husband's
pocket. He had written the letter
to another woman and in it he
called her pet names and told her
how much he loved her. When I
took my husband to task he
raised cain and said he placed the
letter there to trap me because he
suspected I was tampering with
his mail.
Now, I don’t know if this is true
or just an alibi to get out of a
tight place, for he did catch me
this time. I love this husband and
don’t want to separate, but I hate
it abonut this other woman. What
should I do??—Sarah Jane.
Sarah Jane: You are paying
for your folly of spying on your
husband. You had no right to go
through his pockets and the thing
serves you right. You cannot
fcell whether he told the truth or
not, so ask him to forgive you,
forget it and keep your hands out
of his pockets—Maxie Miller.
