WARN SENATE
To PASS BILL
At Q n { {

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-After
passage of the Tariff Bill on August
10. the United States Senate took up
for consideration on August 3 the
Bonus Bill. On August p, there
appeared a special despatch in the New
York Evening Post stating that the
debate on the Bonus would probably
be ended within ten days, and that
a conference was to be held during the
week of the twentieth between Presi-
dent Harding and leaders of both
houses OF the Congress TO determine
on the legislative program for the
remainder Of this session.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colorcd People has
maintained from the very beginning
thai the Senate must pass the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill before this session
of Congress adjourns, and particularly
before the November elections. The
Negro vote of the county is united on
the matter OF anti-lynching legislation
as It has never been united on any
other issue That sentiment and es-
peeially the feeling of resentment be-
cause of the failure of Congress to
act earlier must be kept alive. Our
most potent and effective weapon is
the vote, and that weapon must be used
to the utmost.

Intended to Start Embassy


Garvey told the delegates it had
been his Wholehearted intention to set
up an embassy in the capital city, but
after receiving reports and keeping
under surveillance, he had decided it
would be a crime to establish Black
House under the circumstances.
During his report the "leader of
American Negroes" said: 81 am no
saint and when the president general
is talking about saints he is not refer
ring TO me- ! must confess that | love
the women. When it comes to loving
women I'm broke out with that. But
when it comes to honesty, integrity
and love OF my people. l defy any one
to lift an accusing finger at me"
Continuing, Eason said: 81 claim to
be cminently fitted for the position OF
Leader Of American Negroes When
it comes to intelligently discussing Soc
rates or Shakespeare, can do that;
when it comes to talking about Fred

Carney Gives His Reasons


The delegates demanded that the
president general publicly to name for
quitting office, and his answer was
Il refuse to associate any longer
with a body of men on the executive
council who are not honest enough to
do business above board. I am tired
OF this plotting and intrigue
A delegate from Chicago asked the
president general publicly to name
some members of the council who had
been guilty of intrigue. NO one
knows more about what I am alud-
ing to than the delegates themselves"
spoke UP Garvey, which statement was
applauded by large number of his
followers.
After considerable debate a motion
was passed to accept the designations.
A few minutes later the convention
was again excited over charges and
counter-charges in which the president
general and the "leader OF American
Negroes were principals. In his re-
port, Eason declared he had never
functioned at the Black House in
Washington because no such place has
ever been provided by the association.
He had taken the initiative, however,
in renting the finest suite in the best
hotel in Washington, where for a time
he sought to maintain the dignity OF
his office.

Foils Emperor"

When DR.. J. w. H. EaSOn
refused to resign with Mar
Gus Garvey, he threw a
monkey wrench into a Gle
yer coup attempted by the
Emperor. Critics say
that Garvey's resignation
was merely for the purpose
of Kidding himself of certain
disturbing elements in his
cabinet. He then planned
to have himself reelected
with a new constitution,
giving him absolute power.

In preparation for a very active
season, a baseball diamond is being
made ready for summer use at the

chase of new uniforms for the team.
However, much more work is to be
done and the club seeks the aid of
those boosters who are willing to
contribute their time toward assist
ing in getting the ball diamond in
first-class shape as soon as possible
A quantity of clay for surfac:ng
the diamond is also wanted, and any
person having suitable clay for this
purpose is asked to donate it to the
park. By calling Martin Dunn at
the Third Street Cafe, arrangements
will be made for hauling the clay to
the ball park. The club is endeavor-
ing to keep down expenses as. much
as possible in order that a number of
frst-c'ass games may be offered the
public throughout the season. A
large number of boosters are donat-
ing their services and more are urged
to do SO.

FARM BUREAU ASKING
= CUT in. WOOL FREIGHT
State Bureau Charges Injustice
h to Minnesota Farmers in
=, Rate Classification

The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton has protested against what
it declares is an unjust freight CLASH
fcation, injurious to Minnesota farm
ers. It has requested hearing be-
fore the railroads western classif-
cation committee, to apply for rate
reduction.
The Minnesota federation also has
urged the Farm Bureaus Of the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and
Nebraska to join in the effort to cut
rates on wool.
West of Chicago, the minimum
charge for shipping wool is the rate
on $4,000 pounds in a Cotton capac-
ity car. 1t is Impossible, the Farm
Bureau maintains, to load more than
$4,000 pounds of wool into such a
car, so that farmers are forced to
pay freight on 5000 of wool that
does not exist. East of Chicago, it
is understood, the minimum rate is
based on 10000 pounds. The Farm
Bureau asks that this 16,0OO-pound
minimum be applied in Minnesota,
to save money for the farmers.
