in conditions, It was the first time
in the history of labor that insur
ance companies have been so af
fected.
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. Wihite company agents

are taking advantage of the situa
tion to resell many of the Negroes
insurance upon the grounds that
the stability of Negro insurance is
endangered by the strike. 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.

‘‘Mr. Willkie, the Crisis Editor

WELCOMES PORTERS TO NEW YORK
Democracy could have nnver been demonstrated
in a greater degree than the scene (abo<ve) in which
the wife of the President,, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
joins with leaders of our own race in welcoming the
nation’s Pullman porters to New York. Photo shows

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. We stand
With you in your fight against con
scription and the sabotage of ad

Branding former President Da

claring that the New Deal was
■ ubsidizing him in his efforts to
organize a new national unemploy
ed organization among tfh® 10,000
000 still jobless, Frank Ingram, na
tional secretary, exposed what he
called a plot to wreck the Work "rs
alliance.
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. We bel.eve that there is
a concerted attempt to sent! our

A Prominent Business I
Woman Praises Mme.C.J. [
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

Mfg. Company, direct. Address:
