Whirl
By JIMMY "EVANS
Stepin Fetchit, billed as the luz
iest man in the world, aroused from
bis lethargy long enough to marry
Winnie Johnson, beautiful chorus
girl last week.The bride is re
ported to be 19 years old and has
been acclaimed by the columnists
as being the prettiest of the Harlem
chorines. Recently she appeared on
Broadway in '‘New Faces” and is
said to be in reheasal for a new
edition of that production. Fetchit,
by the way, was in another accident
last week but managed to walk
away from this one..The last
time out, Fetchit tried to wrap his
car around an elevated train post
and for some time it was thought
that he would answer his last cur
tain.
SHORT SHORT STORY
He is recognized as one of the
best and fastest piano players in
the business.His engagements
| at the best night clubs always bring
the patrons out in droves.'His
records are listed among the best
sellers and to top it all, everyone
likes him... .What makes him news
is this... He was born blind but
refuses to have anything done for
his sight.He says that evidently
the Lord wanted him to be blind
and that the Lord’s will be done....
..Every night then, he goes on
making music and smiling all the
while.Of course you’ve heard
of him..His name is Art Tatum.

51 Congressmen Are
Watching Wage Bill
New York, Nov. 4—In response
to a letter from the NAACP, a
total of 61 congressmen have writ
ten the association that they will
keep a careful eye on the wages
and hours bill when it comes up
in the House at the special session
of Congress to see that it does not
contain any differential so far as
Negro workers are concerned.
Replies from congressmen aro
continuing to reach the NAACP
and indications are that any at
tempt to enforce a differential
against Negro workers, either in
wages or hours, will have opposi
tion.
The NAACP points out that the
wages and hours bill will have a
lasting affect on hundreds of thou
sands of Negro workers in the
South and, thereore, any attempt
to frame a law fixing sub standard
wages for them should be fought
vigorously.
The wages and hours bill is one
of the main purposes of the spe
cial session which opens November
16th and the voters at home are
urged to keep in touch with their
congressmen, for the bill already
has been passed in the Senate and
the big fight is expected in the
House.
