F Williams, who for more than 50 years has been engaged in the rug cleaning industry in Sioux City, passed away Monday, Novem ber 1st, about 1 p. m. at St. Vin cents hospital, where he had been confined for nearly three weeks. Mr. Williams may rightfully be called the father of the rug clean ing industry in Sioux, in that it was he who established the first such industry on Perry Creek near Market street, during the 19th Century, later purchasing a two story frame building on West 7th, between Cook and Omaha streets where he installed a plant valued at approximately $5,000. Most of the present day rug cleaning owners of Sioux City re ceived the idea and council for such a business from this grand old pioneer, who operated a successful business until the time of his pass ing. Mr. Williams who was known to be a friend of youth, embarking into the field of business played a great hand in assisting all who showed an ambition to go forward in a career of business, he who was the father of Malone AME church, was active unto his last days. In the passing of Mr. Williams, Sioux City, has lost a stalwart ci tizen, a man that will be hard to replace. .—T Newly Elected Officers of Nationa* Dining Car Porters Un:on Recently elected secretary of the Provisional National Council of Dining Car Workers, was Mr. Is mad P. Flory of Oakland, Calif. Mv. Flory come to this office well qualified both as a student of ec onomics and as a militant and forceful person interested in pro fcleins affecting the great masses, and particularly those problems af fecting labor. He is a graduate of the Univer sity of California, where he ma jored in Labor Economics. Follow ing his matriculation from the University of California, he stud ied Sociology under E. Franklin Frazier at Fisk university. Returning to the state, of Cali fornia he became actively engaged in problems affecting persons in the various Federal Projects. Sev alliances were formed for the pro tection of workers within the Fed oral set up for the purpose of ele vating the sub normal standards where persons in these projects' were subjected. Because of his perseverance in the field of political, industrial and social proplems, he was chosen to head the Oakland Council of the National Negro Congress, making p, very fine counter position in the field or organizing a trade union section of the Congress, which re sulted in his services being sought after by the large unions, and from there to become actively indenti fied with the Southern Pacific Din ing Car, Cooks and Waiters unions, serving in the capacity of vice chairman and secretary business manager. He recently attended the National Negro Congress in Phil adelphia, and has been given an extended leave of absence to study labor and economic problems throughout the nation. The new office to which he has been elected which is functional on a national basis could not be ser ved by a person more highly quali fied because of his training and ex perience. While in the city Mr. Flory was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus C. Long, 2638 Binney. -o Mr. Clarence R. Johnson, has been a pioneer in the field of deal ing with both organizational and labor problems of Dining Car Work ers. For fourteen yars or more he has taken an active interest in the problems of this group of workers. Ho was connected with the first contract with the powerful South ern Pacific Railroad company oper ating in California, for the Dining Car employees. This was no small task in view of the fact that so little had been done in the matter of trail blazing in his field. Most people do not realize that numerically dining car employees aro the largest group of railroad workers among Negroes. Even lar ger than the Pullman porters group, and therefore a definite ec 1 onomic and political power to be recognized with. Mr. Johnson finds timo to take part, amiss all of h:s work in the civic, political and ec ! onomic life of the entire community j in which he reaches through his efforts along with other pro 1 gressive forces. Mr. Johnson was made Interna tional Representative of the Hotel! and Restaurant Employees Interna ! tional Alliance Bartenders’ League J [ of America For Dining Car em ployees in the early part of 1937. A position to which very few Ne groes achieve in A. F. of L. Unions. Mr. Johnson is on a tour at the present time, in the interest of Dining Car workers for the pur pose of unifying and solidifying tho progress outlined by the gov ernment of Dining Car employees, and a national structure for the purpose of obtaining economic, in dustrial and political equality and equal rights of Dining Car and al lied service workers. iHe is an extention student of Labor and Political economics. While in the city he is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Squires, 2918 No. 28th street. __ Legion Makes Plan For Celebration Roosevelt Post No. 30 American Legion plans all day celebration Armistice day, November 11th.

Health Beauty Charm Keep Young and Beau iful (By Althouse Beauty School) By Althouse Beauty School Fall should be a rich and colorful season (a riot of colors) and this year it is. Those of you who have purchased your new fall outfit will bear me out in the statement that Dame Fashion is working overtime in emphasizing the importance of color in everthing we wear. Never before have the maroons, tho deep sapphires, the dark green, the rusts and the deep wines, so successfully rivalled the old tradi tional blacks and browns for fall clothes. This array of colors mean that correct makeup in turn is more, im portant than ever before. The pro per shade of powder, rouge, lipstick and of course, the general condition of the skin and hair must be con sidered. We simply cannot wear these colors with muddy sun tanned or freckled complexions. You will be surprised at what a few facials and bleach packs will : do for you at this time. -o Bishop James Walter Brown of the AMF church, on his return to America, reports that hia Afri can West Gold Coast conferences contain 81 stations and a member ship of 7,396; and 29 schools with an enrollment of 1,654.

Colored GOP Leaders Eye Mid llerm Meet Chicago, Nov. 4 (ANP)—Color ed Republican leaders of the coun try this week learned that plans for a 1988 mid term convention of tho Republican party are in the formative stage and that details of the confab will be ironed out at the forthcoming Nov. 6th meeting in Chicago of the National Com mittee, headed by Chairman John D. M. Hamilton. Tho opinion semed prevalent among many of the colored stund ardbearers that the 1938 conven tion, if called, would resolve itself into a test of strength between former Gov. Alf M. London, the party’s 1936 presidential candidate and former President Her,ev Hoover. It is learned here that if the midterm convention is called, Mr. Hoover is anxious to have ad* opted a plan he has endorsed as sembling the delegates. Mr. London, it was said at To pka, insisted that if the convention is hekl the rank and file of the party should be represented, both in the convention proper and in the , deliberatios of the committee char | ged with bringing in a report on poliay. Mr. I,andon conferred here with National Chairman Hamilton last Monday, following which Mr. Landon said: “Mr. Hamilton came to Topeka primarily to talk over any action which might be taken by the Re' publican N'ational Committee at its meeting on Nov. 6th. Naturally, wo discussed the possible action that the committee might take, not only with regard to establish ing a policy committee to consider the pertinent questions which are before the country, but also the possbility of a confidence or a con vention to consider such expres sions as a policy committee might formulate. But before a decicsion is reached, there are a number of things that will have, to be careful ly considred.... We are particular ly concerned that if the national committee should decide to hold a convention that the rank and file should be represented in delibera tions, as well as in the considera tion of any report on behalf of the policy committee.” -o Illinois Mayor Asks Courtesies for Negro Lobor Delegates Chicago, Oct. 28 (ANP)—James A. Gree, postal clerk, who repre sented the Post office Union, Local No. 1, as a delegate to the recent convention of the Illinois Federa tion of Labor at LaSalle, 111., was high in praise this wieek of the treatment accorded the Negro de legates by Union officials, the con vention commitljee and by Mayor H. M. Orr of LaSalle. LaSalle, nationally known be cause Big Ben clocks are manufact ured there, has long been notorious as the most rabid Jim Crow town in Illinois, the citizens priding themselves on the fact that no Ne gro has ever lived there and they all obey the ‘ read and run” signs plastered all over the city. Several years ago, Dave Washington, trav eling representative of Tuskegee Institute, stopped overnight in La Salle unaware of the Jim Crow ban, and the next morning he was summoned before the secretary of the chamber of commerce and told to leave the city on the next train out—in any direction. -• — Betty:—“I guess my neck wasn’t clean, mother.” Mother:—‘Why, dear?” Betty:—“Cause the barber used his vacuum cleaner on it.” HEADS CONVENTION | .. ■ — .Ml D*r. 1*.
