National Convention
At Philadelphia
(Continued from Page 1)
toe the Louis.Farr fight in New
York City, Aug. 26th.
I moved on to Atlantic City N.
J., Saturday after the close of the
convention business. I most say
that J am very much impressed
with the economic outlook of At
lantic City. The Negro's have se
perate schools here. They have a
$300,000 high school and their num.
erorus grade schools are equipped
with the most modem equipment.
They have about 300 teachers also.
Their business is away out in
front. The largest hotel I’ve seen
owned and operated by our race
with mode than 150 rooms with
bath and rates up to $5.00 per day
moke it among America's best for
us
Our people are engaged in ev
ery knd of business. Here they
even have small shipping and fish
ing industries along the coast line.
I came up the Delaware river on a
commercial boat owned and man.
ned by men of our race. Business
was so rushing we had to wait one
hour before we could load our car
There are 11,000 colored Postal
woken? in Philadelphia. 2,700 in
Chicago which is the largest group
of Postal workers we have in any 1
one city. We have only 605 Railway
Mail clerks, in the United States,
which is a decline from our last
convention m Florida.
The convention went on record
«s flavoring several now bfcfore
Congress to remedy that situation.
One of the bills has to do with
the substituting the fingerprint
method of identification instead of
the photographic methods now used
and one would eliminate the send,
ing of three names to the oppoint.
mg officer for him to select one
of the three but would substitute
Instead a provision wherein the
civil service commission could send
only one name, that being the one
having the highest average. This
bill stands a good chance of pass
ing when Congress takes up its
special session as is expoetted in
November.

Bostonians Seek
Civic Improvements
Boston, Aug. 26 (AIP)—Cheaper
c a ref ore and another playground
iu the heavily populated Roxbur.v
Negro section were wo of the ma
jor points ef concentration of Bos
ton leaders and organizations this
week, as one group visited the city
authorities am behalf of the park
and another busily circulated pet
itions for lower transportation
rates.
The park project would convert
a large eyesore into a playground,
utilizing some federal funds. The
plan has been projected for some
weeks, but has thus far been given
an apparent official ‘runaround.’
Information from authoritative
souces indicated, however, that the
project could be obtained with suf
ficient local pressure. Several thou
sand Negroes are expected to be
represented by the heads of the
organizations that visit the city
officials his week.
In the carefare battle the Negro
citizens seek to have the present
five cent zone extended farther into
the section where Ngro population
is heaviest. The present car efa re
is ten cents. Petitions have been
circulated and signed on a city
wide sccale in this effort.

their formal dancing party at the
Fontenelle park pavillion, last

time was had by all. The girls
were prettily dressed in the gay
summer formals which gave cheer

Miss Ethel Jones, the, sponsor,
was present and deserves much
credit for theenthu siasm which she
has worked up among the younger
set.

Recalls Judge Black’s
Merciful Act
Birmingham, Aug. 26 (ANP)—
A local newsman this week recalled
a merciful not, 26 years ago, of
United States Supreme Court
Justice Hugo L. Black, at that time
a judge in the Birmingham police
court. The newsman said that a
colored man faced, tihe court to an
swer the charge of beating a white
collector for a furniture company.
Asked to tell his story the pri
soner said his wife was ill, he had
already paid more than the original
amount of the bill, but that the
collector had come to insist on
carrying out his threat to remove
the household goods, the prisoner
said he gave Ihim a good beating.
Jludge Black recessed the case,
sent the colored man home to get
his receipts, which showed that he
had paid more than th© furniture
original cost, was still paying “in
terest.” Thoroughly aroused, the
judge dismissed the charges, warn
ed the bandaged white collector not
to molest the colored man’s family
further, then turned to the prisoner
and said: ‘And if you pay another
cent to that company, I’ll put you
in jail.”
