CRYSTAL BIRL FAUSET WILL NOT SEEK MRS. BETHUNE’S POST Philadelphia, Sept. 20 (ANP) — Mrs. Crystal Bird Fauset, member of the state legislature of Penn sylvania, does not expect to leave her present nost to take the place now held by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune as NYA director in Washington. There are several pertinent reasons why the rumors which have come from the nation’s capi tal during the past month are in correct. the brilliant and charm ing young lawmaker declared Tuesday as she sat in the living room of her attractively furnish ed and immaculately kept West Philadelphia residence. In the first place, she explained the NYA job has never been prof fered to her and the first she had heard that there was any de finite likelihood of her accepting it was when she read the story in the newspapers. Then she ■pointed out, she has just begun work in her poet as a member of the Pennsylvania as embly, her election to that n" t marking the 1' rst time a Negro woman had ever sat in the legis’ative halls of any American commonwealth. She is enjoying this new exper iencc. she said, aside from the clouds of tobacco smoke which en velope her each working hour, and she is growing accustomed to that. Mrs. Fauset has reason to be plca.-ed with her prospects. In the brief time she has served in the statr,’ i capitol, sf’e has won the respect of he(- fellow representa tives. In the first place, she is thoroughly familiar with public affairs, her many years with the national YWCA and tho Ameri can Friend’s comittee having giv en her that experience. Next, she is a remarkable public speaker and has more than held her own with her male colleagues in the d bates w' ich hav* taken placfe cn the floor of the house. Al 'nugh she has served only seven months and has intro luced sev eral measures wnich, while they did not pa s because her Democra tic party ?c !n the minority, still rttraricd attention becrur.e hey era designed to help the entire r pu’atirn and not her own r oup alone. Even the rumors that Mrs. Fauset is already looking torward congress in the near future are wrong. It is true that many of her admirers in Pennsylvania and oth er states where she has been speaking this year have expressed a desire to see her in the national law making body, thus becoming the firat colored woman to go to the national Legil'Cure; but she wants to be realist. She feels that the way is not open for a colored woman to be elected to Washington from Philadelphia, and therefore she says she ha* no; included a possibility in her thinking. The immediate objectives of Crystal Bird Fauset, one would gather, are to become an effec tive and capable legislative rep resentative of her district, two fed S^bastiancum Sanitarium ■ Home of Se-Bnsto Tea.

Commissioner’s deter mination to appoint NegTo nurses from the civil service 1st to the j hospital in accordance with the j D. C. budget law. The West Virginia solon wrote •ho letter shortly after discussions with Commissioner Hazen, and Dr. George Ruhland, D. C. health 'ireetor. His letter said: “I am pleaded to say that I have taken up this matter with both ^ Commissioner Hazen and Dr. Ruh-' 'ind and I am advised that Negro | nurses will be appointed at Glen Hale Sanitorium. They will be ap pointed when they arc certified j by the Civil Service Commission ind when vacanies occur for which they might qualify. I feel sure there will be no discrimina- j tion.” On.Monday, August 14, it was learned that two white nurses had resigned from the hospital staff rather than work .with Negro nurses. It was also learned that j hospital officials were planning to quarter Negro nurses outside the ' regular nurse3’ home. Approxima-1 tely fifty per cent of the patients at the hospital are Negroes. JUDGE FINES UNION $50€ Chicago, 111. Sept. 18—Is the American worker entitled to free dom of speech. Superior Court Judge John J. Lupe in his ruling against the Chicago Newspaper Guild prohi bits it. He found the Guild guilty of violating an ancient anti-labor injunction, and fined the union $500. For the months, members of the Chicago Newspaptr Guild were permitted freedom of speech in their strike against William Randolph Hearst’s Chicago Herald-American and Sunday Herald-American. Then seven months after Superior Court Judge G. Cleevland Niemeyer granted the injunction, another judge decided it was violated. Hearst Counsel Edward Woods announced: “We are going to fine the American Newspaper Guild out of business,” following Judge Lupe’ decision, and immediately proceeded to supplement his statement by filing more petitions against 'the Guild. Wood’s specific charges are the CNG and the ANG have no right whatsoever to tell the public of the huge firm* that advertise in the Hearst papers. These concerns NAACP Pays Trib bute to Former Jewish Leader New York, Sept. 19—Mrs. Wal ter White wife of .he executive se cretary of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People and the Rev.

The pilgrimage is sponsored by thj Jewish Theological Seminary of America, The American Jewish Committee and Congregation of Emanu-El of New York.

On Monday, Sept. 11 Ihd Jewish Telegraphic agaric will release an article by Walter White, dealing with the lawyerh contribution to the work of the NAACP. are financial strikebreakers for H'earst, contributing money in an attempt to defeat unionism. Awaiting the answer to freedom of speech is the entire Union rank and file throughout tho nation. Already unions and individual have made known their great dis pleasure to Judge Lupe for at tempting to enforce injunctions as a strikebreaking weapon. Numer ous vigorous protests have been sent to the Judge in the county building here. Meanwhile Guild Attorneys Ben Meyers and Hart Baker are per fecting an appeal which they will place before the Illinois Supreme Court at che October term. Meyers and Hart refused 'to par ticipate in the hearings against the Guild attending court only in the role of observers. The case was originally set for Sept. 20 when Judge Lupe suddenly set forward the hearing to Sept. 7. giving the Guild’s lawyers less^ than four hours to prepare de fense. The judge also refused to grant a change of venue. The injunction against the Chi cago Newspaper Guild virtually prevents the strikers from every thing but breathing and is the most un-A.merican action ever taken by a court of justice, ac cording to labOj- leaders. •TT PAYS TO LOOK WELL" MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s Work A Specialty _2422 lake Street— Johnson Drug Co.

The new union was l/ocal 1207 of the International Hod camera, Building and Common Laborers Un'on of America. A verbal agree ment was made to continue the division of the work on a 50-50 basis.
