Plan New Jim Crow
Law In Tampa, Fla.
Tampa, Fla., Aug. 6 (By James
H. Boykins or CNA)—Two weeks
ago the City Commissioners acted '
‘o bar Negroes from the Ybor City j
J section of Florida. Last week when
aldermen printed out that such |
segregation would be illegal, even
under Florida law, unless applied
to all section of the city, a new
bill providing city wide segrega
tion was rastily written.
Negro resdent are protesting the
measure.
I IN MEMORY I
We pitU' e here to pay respect to one of the most outstand
ing personalities ever to grace 24th street, the late Adrian
Stamps.
The progressive Youth Movement of which he played the lead,
has suffered a great loss
Adrain was a "Natural." He displayed unusual ability as a
leader and organizer, and his work in engineering the Negro
Leader Movement, known as the Negro Mayor Race, was a Mas
tor-piece of perfovmanccc on his part. He worked day and night
until his program was successful then took to his bed to rest
until death.
This little warrior, must be listed among braves, he was the
most courageous ever t» fight and endure so long against stacked
odds.
Death lurked in corners of the room many times, but his
stamina, his fight and dome to live, challenged death, and stay
ei its victory until such times, as the world could take notice of
his. metal.
\Ve extend to members of the bereaved family, our deep
est and heartfelt sympathy in these extreme hours of sorrow, and
ask for consolation fori Him who restores strength while under
the affliction of giief.
“We will think of him in sikmce;no eye can see us weep; but
still within our aching hearts; his memory we shall keep.”
In memory of this great life, whicch was well lived, for the
short time granted, we, The Omaha Negro Council, makti a per
manent entry in tc files ccommemoratrng the life of our deceased
member.

Chinese, Japanese
Battle in No. China
Peiping, Aug. 6 (CNA)—Chin
ese and Japanese troops were lock
ed in battle on a hundred fronts in
North China this week as Chinese
authorities rejected a Japanese ul
timatum demanding the withdrawal
Df Chinese troops from North
China, paramount to surrender of
North China to Japanese imperial
ism.
Following a Japanese attack on
the ancient walled city of Peiping,
Chinese troops opened a savage
surprise attack on Jhpanese troops
in Tientsin, North China, where the
invaders have established a base of
aperations. Bombs exploded in the
heart of the Japanese concession
and shells fell within the city. It
was reported that the Japanese
.roops were driven from their posi

Major engagements were in pro
gress over a wide area in the Pie

their patience exhausted by Japan
ese bullying and seizure of their
territory, lashed back at last
jgainst the invaders from the is
lands to the North. A showdown
Fight for possession of North China
appeared in prospect. Chinese for
;es scored several initial victories
for which the Japanese retaliated
by bombing scores of towns from

CIO Opens Steel
Drive in Texas
Houston, Tex,, Aug. d (By J. H.
Harmon, jr-, for CNA)—The
Committee for Industrial Ograniza
tion, which has so successfully en
tered the oil fields in Texas, Okla
,homa and Louisiana through the
International Assiciation of Oil
Field, Gas Well and Refinery
Workers, is now making a drive to
organize the steel workrs and the
Southern Pacific Shop workers
here in Houston territory.
The Southern Pacific is a large
employer of Negroes in its shops,
roundhouses, and in its yards as
brakemen and hosslers. The Negro
was largely introduced into the em
ploy of the Southern Pacific as
strikebrakers in 1922 during the
great railroad strike. Due to the
stupidity of the railroad Brother
hoods and their jimcrow practices,
Negroes were used successfully to
break their strike, and today the
company maintains a strong in
fluence over most of its colored
' workers through its company union,
knwn as Shopcraft, and through
the church.
( However, it is well known that
the workers are none too satisfied
with conditions, especially with the
dtnial of equal opportunity for ad
vancement from the lower paid jobs
to better paid categories. Another
factor favorable to the CIO drive
is its reputation for protecting the
rights of Negro and white union
ists alike and giving the Negro an
even break. The CIO has already
made a favorable impression on Ne
gro workers in this state, and is
going to make its job of breaking
the influence of the company
union much easier than would
bo the case under discredited A. F.
of L. leadership.
