JAMES A. COBB DISCUSSES "sE-
GREGATION IN AMERICAN
LAW"
DECLARES RESIDENTIAL SEGRH'
CATION VIOLATES U. S.
CONSTITUTION.

Speaking at last nights FRIDAY,
June 27th) mass meeting in the
Union Baptist Church. 10Th and Fitz.
water Streets of the National Associa
ton for the Advancement OF. Colored
People, now holding it's Fifteenth An
nual Conference in Philadelphia,
James A. Cobb, former Assistant U. 5
Attorney for the District of Columbia
declared that presidential segregation
of co,ored people was a violation OF
the federal constitution.
Mr.. Cobb said in part:
Several years ago there sprung up
verftable epidemic of city ordlnaces
passed to accomplish the purpose Of
racial discrimination and segregation
in the matter of occupancy of homes,
Atlanta Ca; Louisville, KY; Rich
mond, Va; Baltimore, Md and Ra'
leigh, N. c., may be mentioned as typi'
cal of the cities which attempted to
pass such laws. So fragrant was this
attempt to defeat the constitution
al rights of citizens that the Courts
even of some Of Southern States put
themselves on record as definitely op
posing such legislation. $50
"Mr. Justice Day, delivering the opi1
| ion of the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the we'll considered case OF
Buchanan vs.. Marley, (known as The
Louisville Segregation Case) said in
part: That there exists a serious and
difficult problem, arising from a fee.
ing of race hostility which the law is
powerless to control, and to which II
must give measure of consideration
may be freely admitted. But its solu'
tion cannot be promoted by depl wing
citizens of their constitutional rights
and privileges And eurtlaer on in TIE
same opinion he SAID: we think this
attempt to prevent the alienation of the
property in question to q person OF
color was not a legitimate exercise OF
the police power of the State and is in
direct violation of the fundamental
| law enacted in the 14th Amendment of
the Constitution, preventing state in
reference with property rights except
by due process Of law
Certainly this would appear to nc
the last word on this question of segre
gated housing. But now the individual
fiat of group of people, entering into
a mutual covenant not to dispose OF
their land to people of the Negro race
or descent is chosen as means of dc
ing what the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and the Interpretation by the
Supreme Court of the United States
has indicated definitely cannot legal
ly be done.
IF the Constitution does not protec
the rights of all citizens, it does no
protect the rights of any since i
knows no distinction of race or color.

SPINGARN MEDAL TO
ROLAND HAYES

| ROLAND HAYES
The Spingarn Medal, it was announc
ed at the N. A. A G. P. Conference,
goes this year to the greatest singer OF
his race Roland Hayes, now triumph
antly touring European cities. In Mr.
Hayes's absence, it was arranged 10
have the medal presented by Provost
Josiah H. Penniman of the Universit!
Of Pennsylvania to a representative OF
Mr.. Hayes. The Committee making
Hurst, Chairman; Dorothy Garfield
Fisher. author of "The Bent Twig," etc
James HI billiard, Director Of the
Jeanes and Slater Funds; John Hope,
President of Morehouse College; The
dore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy; and DR.. w. e. B. Du Bots.
Editor of The Crisis.
Roland Hayes, to whom the Spin
garn Medal goes, has achieved unique
distinctions, having been hailed by
leading critics in Europe and America
as one of the greatest of living artists
of any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Cur
ryville Georgia, Hayes was working
as a stove molder when his voice was
discovered by Mr. Calhoun a colored
singer, who urged him to study ana
gave him his first instruction. Roland
Hayes worked his way through Fiske
University, coming North with the
Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained 10
study in Boston, where he gave his
first recital in Jordan Hall in 1917.
Since then he has toured the countries
of Europe as we'll as the United States
achieving new triumphs at each appear
ance. In April of 1921 he was accord
ed the honor of being commanded to
sing before the King and Queen Of Eng
land. He has given more than sixteen
recitals in England, has sung more
than forty times in the salons OF
Paris and has been solo1st-
with the Boston, Philadelphia and
Detroit Symphony Orchestras in the.
United States.
On his present tour of Europe, MI.
Hayes is to appear with Sir Henry
Woods Orchestra in England and will
give recitals in Paris, Vienna, Buda.l
pest, Prague and, other cities of Czecho
Slovakia, Hungary and Italy. On his
return to America, early in October o.
this year Mr.. Hayes will fill sixty con
cert engagements throughout the Unit
ed States on a tour which will take hlra
to the Pacific Coast.

Declaring that the Negro preferred
"seven dollars a day in the North t'
seven dollars a week in the South
and "ten months equal schooling in tbf
North to two months sighted school
ing in the South" Judge Jayne express
ed the hope that the Negro who fao
come North would stay.
"The Negro is man He is here. He
is working man, respected and respec
table. hope the Negro stays until he
has learned all there is to know of this
industrial system which is at once our
salvation and our despair. hope the
Negro Ieavens it's sordid dizziness with
that inextinguishable joy and rhythm
which have brought him unscarred
through the crucible of slavery and
degradation. I hope the Negro leavens
it's selfish greed with his innate loyal
ty and faithfulness which have al
ways been his even in his reputation
among his enemies"

NEGRO HAS MADE GOOD IN THE

OF DETROIT CIRCUIT COURT

Addressing last nights (Thursday'
June 26th) mass meeting of the Nat
;onal Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, now in Fifteenth
Annual Conference in Philadelphia
Hon. Ira w. Jayne, Judge of the CIR
cult Court of Detroit, declared thai he
could prove by established facts from
the industrial centers Of the North
that the Negro migrating from the
South had made good in his new envir
onment Judge Jayne said in part.
Mr.. Forester B. Washington. re-
Gently of Detroit, now Of thu Arm
strong Association Of Philadelphia, sur
yeyed the situation in Detroit acknowl
edged one of the centers Of this nligra,
ton. His findings have been accepted
as accurate by all elements OF the com
nunity. These have been supplemented
by similar reports in other cities. All
these figures show the Negro the equal
in productive value to any group, the
superior of many. In the rivettlng and
moulding industries he has broken pro
duction records often, that it is no long
er q novelty.
"496 firms in Detroit employ 4O,OOO
Negroes, in numbers ranging from l.
500 and 1000 down to 10 at equal pay
with whites and under equal working
conditions. One-fifth of the Post Once

FORD OFFER NEARs IT'S GOAL

; The Norris measure providing for govern
naent ownership of Muscle Shoals has been re-
ported There may be a minority report rec
oAnInending the Ford offer 1t is then planned
to offer in the senate the Ford plan as a
substitute for the Norris plan. That will
place the Ford offer before the senate as
effectually as if the committee had favorably
reported it. There appears to be general
agreement that the Muscle Shoals vote must
come before the present session closes. If
the Ford offer is approved by the senate,
the decision will be final. If the Norris plan
is accepted, it must go to conference with
the house, which is already committed by a
good majority to the Ford offer. This will
mean no final action at the present session.
There is reason to believe, however, that
senator UnderwoodS parliamentary strategy
end diplomatic urbanity will be strong fac
tors in conciliating to the Ford plan con-
siderable number of Western senators whose
Irritation measures in the past have owed
much to Mr.. Underwoods support. Besides,
there is an irrigation measure to the fore
right now, in which Senator Borah and
Others are interested, which must be lost if
tie Ford offer does not go through. Sen
ator Underwood has made no threats to that
effect, but his gentle reminders have not
been lost upon his politically astute hearers.
II is the opinion Of close observers that the
Ford plan is gaining strength among the sen
ators. The alternative proposed BY the COM
mittee involves government ownership and
competition with private industry, policy
TO which Republicans will hesitate long be-
fore committing themselves. 1t must be
remembered that Senator Norris is Repub-
Hean in name only, and that he properly
elasgifies with no considerable group in the
senate. He is not an irregular of the Borah
type, but rather of the Reed-B rookhart type.
Therefore, his opposition to the Ford offer
win probably win for it as many friends as
1t alienates. And in the final count once his
own plan is defeated, he may swing to the
Ford often
Anyhow, the Ford offer now has the best
chance it has yet had to become law. 1t
depends largely upon the sort of fight its
friends in the senate put up in its behalf
Judging by outward appearances, those
Friends are ready for the fray.
