the schools Of Southeastern AlaSkd will be held in Juneau during the week April 24-2e.

PLAN TO RAISE Big
sum OF MONEY TO PASS
ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
preston News Service)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 10-In
speaking about the national movement
among Negro women throughout the
country under the auspices of the Anti
Lynching Crusaders to get a million
members and a million dollars, Attor-
ney Robert L. Vain, former Assistant
City Solicitor, said in addressing a
group of young people here last Mon
day night that he was in favor of the
movement to secure one million Ne
groes throughout the country to urge
the passage of the Dyer bill, but he
was unable to see the logic in raising
million dollars for the passage Of
the measure. Attorney Vain said in
part:
"Mr. Dyer, now nationally known as
the father of the Anti-Lynching Bill,
said, in the course of an address, that
if million people get back of the
Anti-Lynching Bill, it would pass.
"Any reasonable person who knows
anything, knows that Mr.. Dyer has no
authority to commit the United States
Senate. He has no authority to say
to any audience what will be neces-
sary to pass any proposed bill. Indeed,
his remarks we're made casually, if
we understand the context, and were
not intended to be taken literally.
"Yet as soon as someone heard his
words, Immediately new drive was
launched. The slogan was to get a
million women back of the Dyer Bill
The slogan was soon changed to in
clude a million dollars with the mil.
lion women.
Let us be sane, if not intelligent

lars? Is it proposed to buy up a few
Senators and their votes? If it will
take million, why not two millions
Where will the figures stop? Who
will accept the money and guarantee
the passage of the Dyer Bill? Who
will spend the money when it is
raised? Who will make a report Of
the expenditures?

PECULIAR ADDRESS
is MADE BY GARVEY
in The SOUTHLAND
preston News Servlce)

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov 10-Marcus
Garvey, provisional president of Afri-
ca, delivered an address at the Negro
fair here last Wednesday afternoon in
which he praised the southern white
people for lynching the American Ne
gro as they have been doing, claiming
THAI by this means they were making
the Negro become conscious of the
fact that he is not wanted in this
country and can never make any
progress as a race here.
Garvey declared, eff a northern
white man tells me he loves me, he is
liar. The white man of the south
hates the Negro and is honest enough
to say So"
when we get into our republic in
Africa we mean to despise the whites,
because the blacks will have every
thing and the whites nothing. That's
why the southern white man despises
US now, and Is frank enough to tell
you so. He has everything and you
have nothing, so don't blame him for
despising you. He has contempt for
you because you won't do anything
for yourselves.
$50 long as you remain a pauper
race, dependent upon another race,
just so long will the world despise
Is
don't want to associate with a man
who doesn't want to associate with
me-
God never created the white man
superior; the white man made himself
superior. God is not responsible for
your condition. God is our spiritual
overlord, and you are responsible for
what you are"
81 thank the southern white man for
giving the Negro a race consciousness.
Sometimes it has required beating,
sometimes lynching, but he has it. In
the south there is more wealth among
the Negroes than anywhere in the
world because the white man has
forced the Negro to do something for
himself
Some Negroes believe in their re-
ligion so blindly that they expect it to
provide breakfast, dinner and supper
for them; but 1 know that if l don't
get up and hustle, the Lord will never
provide for me.
Don't hate the white man just be-
cause he despises you. He despises
you because you are after something
which belongs to him.
/, 81 don't want anybody to misunder-
stand me. If you had hundred dol
lars in your pocket and good clothes
on your back, and had to associate
constantly with tramp who had moth
ing, you wouldn't like it. Well, that's
the reason why the white man doesn't
like you"

who did not dance. But Negroes can
dance, and did. The magnificent
Grand Ball Room provided pretty set

women handsomely gowned. They
were, as the Americas Making pro-
