    Knoxville Defeats
Taladeera Tornadoes
A scrappy Bulldog eleven that
never lost hope overcame an early
Talladega lead in the annual Tur
key Day dash here and won from
the Tornadoes by the score of 20
14. It was the last game of the sea
son for both teams, and each was
determined to end their gridiron
wars with a win.
Both teams started out playing
very careful football with the two
elevens appearing very even
but the game soon developed into
a thriller that saw the lead change
hands several times. And it was
ndt until the final gun that the out
come of the fracas was certain.
Jaeko of Talladega scored early
in the first quarter; the convertion
was good, and the score was 'Dega
7, K. CL 0, for the remainder of the
quarter. In the next frame, how
ever, Wilson carried the oval over
for the Bulldogs, the extra point
was good and the score was tied.
Lowry scored for Knoxville again
before the half ended but Ram
seur’n attempted placement was no
good- Score, K. C. 13; Dega 7.
The Tornadoes came back after
the half, made another seven points
and kept their lead of 14-13 until
the final minutes of the game when
the Bulldogs put over the winning
marker. A pass from Thomas to
Hill put the ball in scoring terri
tory. and another pass from Tho
mas to Wilson was good for the
touchdown. Thomas then added the
extra point with a beautiful drop
kick.
Talladega’s pass attack, which
clicked several times, and her end
runs were her main offensive wea
pons. Knoxville’s offensive was
featured by beautiful reverses and
off-tackle slashes. In the Bulldog,
lineup the work of Wilson, Lowry,
Thomas. Horton and Kershaw was
impressive; while Tyler, Powell,
Golightly and Jaicko were outstand
ing for the visitors. Six Bulldogs
sang their “Swan Song’’ in this
gan»—Wood, fullback; Dlavis,
half; Roach, half; Ramseur, half:
Ward, guard; and Ellington, re
serve guard.

Well done, my tried and faithful
servants! Our fan mail campaign
has been partly responsible, I'm
certain, for this report from broad
cast officials:
“The Tuskegee Institute Choir
would be singing continuously day
and night for ten days and forty
hours, It was calculated, if the
Choir sang all the requests received
at the famous Negro seat of learn
ing from music lovers all over the
country asking for their favorite
Negro spirituals on the all request
program last Sunday.
"Endeavoring to please listeners,
the Choir, under the direction o«f
the noted composer-conductor,
William L. Lawson, chose a group
of the most popular spirituals for
another all request program Nov
ember 28th, over station WAAF,
and the NBC Red network at 1:30
p. m EST. The choir’s theme song,
‘Deep River” (incidentally, no one
knows who composed it) was fea
tured in full.
“Radio station W2XAD, Schenec
tady's short wave station which
broadcasts the choir each Sunday
to many foreign countries, receiv
ed an avalanche of fan mail from
the U. S. following Sunday’s broad
casts.”
Keep up the good work, and
great will be your reward. Keep
on sending in your fan mail and
give your seal of approval to this
classic Negro program.

cast of ‘ Mulatto” were somewhat
baffled when they found their

claim against the house manager,

show property could probably have
been voided in court, they had no
alternative but to pay out |200 in

Take Wage Fight
To National Board
In an official news release under
date of November 24th, Clarence R.
Johnson, International Representa
tive of Hotel and Restaurant Em
ployees. in Charge of the Railway
Department of this National Union
handling affairs of dining car em
ployees, stated that as a result of
the diserimiatory attitude of the
Southern Pacific Company on the
.matter of wage increase for dining
car employece The Dining Oar
Cooks and Walters Union Local
682 and 466 will take their wage
increase demands to the National
Board ofMeditation.
With the powerful Southern Pa
cific Company refusing to grant
wage increases parallel to those
given all other employees of its
dining car department, conferences
terminated November 16th, after
several months of negotiations be
tween the company and orgaization
representing employees. Every
effort was made by the employees
representatives to reach a mutual
ly satisfactory understanding on
the matter.
Considering the faot that dining
car workers are the lowest paid of
rail employees working on an aver
age of sixteen hours per day, and
under many abnormal conditions,
refusal to treat these workers equ
al with others, points to discrimin
ation of these employees.
By daily contact, the public has
come to know and appreciate these
workers, realizing that no group
of rail employes contributes more
to its comfort, health and security
when traveling.
Sensing the need for acting on
a national basis to protect their in
terest against such treatment as
has been accorded by one powerful
company, dining car employees met
recently in Omaha, for the purpose
of coordinating their efforts to im
prove economic, industrial and the
social well being of these workers,
and to lessen the strain, wear and
tear of disjointed action which now
places them in a precarious condi
tion when attempting to bargain
with the highly orgaized rail indus
try.
In their struggle for better wage
rates, Southern Pacific Employees,
like all other dining car employees
have the traveling public’s interest
in mind. Certainly these workers
feel that forcing them to depend on
the traveling public, or for carriers
to expect its patrons to contribute
to make up wage deficiencies of
these workers by gratities, is not
only manifestly unfair to carrier
patrons but definitely unfair to the
employees. These workers are not
unmindful that the traveling public
pays a price for services rendered
sufficient to enable the carriers to
treat both public and employee)
with greater justice.
In passing, it is interesting to
note that the average annual
wage of these workers is less than
$864 out of which workers are ex
pected to maintain themselves and
families in decency and be assets
to the communities in which they
live. This annual wage rate, when
considered in the light of economic
ad social factors, coupled with long
gruelling hours of employment, ex
acting requirements of service, in
addition to the training and skill
required to efftcienctly perform
their duties, presents a rather an
omalous picture.
All that these workers request,
or demand is equal treatment in
the matter of wages as granted
other employees and which will

“Remember Utia spot, child. R

quoted as saying. And tn support
of his promise, he left a legacy in

gold nugget worth *5,000.
But whatever the girl may un

no more daaziiag or romantic than
the other lost caches of gold with
which legend so liberally endows
the Southwest,
Several hundred miles south of
Nevada City, another woman tress
ura hunter. Rose White, pursued a
long and fruitless quest for ths lost
Padre mine. She received the
secret from C. H. (Doc) Bragg, a
friend of her father's, su he lay
dying. Bragg claimed to have
bought the mine from Indians and
to have taken out (800,000 in gold
before he was driven away by an
early-day racketeer.
More widely known Is the Brey
fogle mine, on the rim of Death
valley. Breyfogte, sole survivor ot
a prospecting party that tried to
cross the valley in 1862, found the
lode while wandering about half
crazed by thirst. The ore samples
he carried back to civilization made
mining men gasp. Although he
made several trips back to the val
ley he never could get his correct
bearings. Many parties have
searched for Breyfogle’s mine.
Famous Gansfght Mine.
In the same region is the gun
sight mine. A man straying from
an emigrant train broke off a piece
of rock to hammer his gunsight
into position and was astonished to
find the rock almost pure silver.
He kept his secret to himself for
the time being and stayed with the
party. Later he was unable to find
his way back to the vein.
There is said to be a treasure of
Mexican gold and jewels buried
near the summit of Cahuenga pass,
a heavily traveled thoroughfare In
Los Angeles. It had been sent tu
this country from Mazatlan to bu>
munitions for the revolt against
Maximilian, and was stolen. The
authority for this legend is Major
Horace Bell, a Los Angeles pione.r.
