The Good Citizens Insurance company withdrew from the local insurance executives council and effected a compromise with the a gents’ representative, the CIO. The other three. The Louisiana In dustrial. the Douglas and the Un ity refused to bargain with any union relative to working condit ions of their respective agents and have placed a definite stamp of re jection upon the hopes for bargain ing in this direction. These three companies have re placed the striking agents and have called in their field repres entative to carry on the business. Special notices have been directed to policy holders informing them of the decision of the executive and warning tjhat the premiums vvtill have to be made as required in the insurance contracts, but only to the newly hired agents or at the company’s offices. At the outset of the strike the company officials asked the agents what their desires were. The a gents refused to disclose this^ in forming the officials that negotia tions would have to go through the OIO, teir selected bargaining ag ent. Hundreds of dollars are being spent to force the claims of both the agents and the companies. A 1 flare of violence broke out when several of the ' scab*’ agents were beaten by the strikers. The psychological factors be hind the strike situation are far reaching in its general effect up on Negro business, particularly in surance.

The Louisiana published a pamphlet disclosing that many of the strik ing agents had earned incomes last year in excess to salaries paid to school teachers. Twelve of these salaries ranged from $1,100 to $1, 600 per year. They also state their agents work on the average of less than six hours per day. In surance companies are not bound by provisions of the Wagner act and therefore do not have to ne gotiate with a labor union that migt represent its agents. Company officials state they will negotiate with the agents themsel ves and can assure that any reas onable demand will be met. MRS CRYSTAL B.

He said that ‘the Negro is chained by tradition, cheated out of his right ful place by tradition and our child ren denied equality of opportunity because of tradition’. ’ ‘‘The time has c0me when Ne groes need to think very clearly about the forces that influence their lives today and to vote only for the administration interested in the welfare of the mass of Am erican peopld. President Roose velt has proved his interest as shown by the many forms of soc ial security never thought of be fore in connection with our govern mcnt and richly deserves the sup port of the Negro voters of this country.” MINNESOTA NAMES NEGRO TO DRAFT BOARD Washington, Sept. 30 (AN1* - The first Negro to be appointed to a state draft registration board is S.

JOE LOUIS TO CAST HIS FIRST VOTE FOR PRESIDENT New York—Fistiana’s king, sloe eyed Joe Louis, who will cast hjs first Presidential vote this coming November, is expected to take an active part in President Roose velt’s reelection campaign accord ing to close friends of the Brown Bomber in this city. Like his managers, Julian Black and John Roxborough, the Champ has found politics an engrossing subject and is patiently biding his time against the day when he will step into a booth and mark an ‘x beside the name of his favorite Presidential candidate. There are whispered reports in Democratic circles of an impending visit to Washington by the Brown Bomber sometime next month. According to sources responsible for these reportsi the visit is for the purpose of meeting the White House occu pant. vention held in Chicago last wef-k. “It is our purpose to give un stinted support to you in your figthit for jobs instead of guns and bread instead of war.

Another speaker, Edward Sutro, of Newark, New Jersey, charged that attempts were being made in his state to “railroad” all unem ployed Negroes. “Almost all of our grievances lately have come from the Negro people,’’ he said. “This shows that there’s something wrong in the state controlled by Boss Frank Hague.

[ Walker’s Preparations „ 4 “I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. f t? Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine, although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker's won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg.
