FAILS TO FIG HIT
RACE sep ARATION
Negro Segregation is
Estates Right!

Representation Of the American
Federation of Teachers on the Edu-
cation Committee of the American
Federation of Labor is demanded by
the teachers union, a labor organiza-
tion with four thousand members in
all parts of the country which is
holding it's annual convention at the
Webster Hotel this week. The de-
mand was brought before the con-
vention by the committee on work
ers' education yesterday.
Brookwood school monopolized the
time of the federation at yesterdays
session. The union has nothing but
praise for Katonahs labor" college,
recently characterized by Earl Brow
der, prominent Communist leader, as
college supported by a group of
well-intentioned middle-class ele-
ments," which is fast committing it.
SELF lock, stock, and barrel, to the
propaganda of class collaboration,
and which gives special attention to
the study of such plans as the in
famous B. & o. plan in the railroad
industry, scheme that is being used
to poison and main the railroad
unions" The American Federation
of teachers through a report pre-
sented by the committee on workers
education, urges "all members Of the
federation to avail themselves of the
opportunities provided by Brook
wood"
Not For Negro Rights.
Segregation of Negro children in
southern schools, an evil which is be-
ing bitterly attacked by even such
mild organizations as the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, is disregarded by the
American Federation of Teachers as
a matter of policy"
ITO impose law prohibiting such
segregation in the south would be
a gross infringement of states
rights" said A. G. Stecker, Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the federation. "For
this reason, the American Federation
can take no definite stand on the mat
ter"
Mr.. Stecker admitted that the
poverty of many communities and
the unfair distribution of public funds
by Observation-Disclosures boards is
bringing about segregation on class
lines as definite as the segregation of
Negroes in the south This class
segregation is particularly bad in
Illinois.
Attack Principals N. E. A.
Planning of the N e. A. and its re-
dictionary officialdom went on with
the usual degree of acrimony. 1.-THE
N. E. A. does not seem to trouble
itself about the corruption in the two
big political parties For this reason
it can give its undivided sanction to
the Sterling-Reed education bill,
which provides for a federal depart
ment of education with an officer in
the Presidents cabinet. It does not
see, and it does not care to see, that
such a measure might be almost as
harmful to really progressive teach
ers as the department of labor has
been to the laboring classes. Six
years ago we might have been-whole-
heartedly in favor of such a bill"
Copies Of Upton Sinclair's Cos
lings," and Scott Meanings pamphlet
on "Oil and the Germs of War" were

"Well then, here's your money for

said "Pick it up, damn you," and then
walked away. His companion, who
was the cooler of the two, and who
Mrs. Kalousek said showed an Off

to question Mrs. Kalousek as to who
supplied her with the DAILY

this will be the position Of the con.

But whether the conference will
accept the Workers Party proposal
to make the principle a living reality
thru the only possible means of ma
tionalizing the entire public school
system of South and North and pro-
hibiting segregation of pupils OF
teachers by national law, is another
question.
Sabotage BY Republicans.
Not by any means is it certain that
any Of such measures will go thru.
This conference no less than any 9TH
er conference that was ever held by
American Negroes, is literally sprink-
led with very busy, quick-witted and
suave members of the party which is
still trying to associate itself with
the name of Lincoln. In this case
they are mostly white men. These
gentlemen of the party of Bascom
Slemp are not publicly uttering a

cism that has fallen upon it. But their

ADJUSTMENTS
Popular Prices for Legion Play

Several weeks ago the Armistice
night committee of the James Fitz-
gerald Post No. decided that al
though the Armistice Ball was a fine
annual event that everyone looked
forward to with enthusiasm, II some
form of entertainment could be add
ed to the occasion, it would be rem
dering a greater service to the COM
munity and the plan of putting on a
real comedy" at the popular price
of so cents was adopted.
Such an entertainment as the peo-
pie of Augusta will witness Tuesday
evening. Nov. IL is well worth a dol
lar or more. but the Legion boys
want to give everyone a good time
on Armistice Day for a small amount
of money and haven't even permitted
an advance sale of tickets except at
the two drug stores, Partridge's and
Coughlin's, for the purpose of the
affair Is to give something to the
community rather than to make mon
ey.
The play. What Happened to
Jones" is royalty play that will cost
considerable to produce, but the
members Of the Post feel confident
that the attendance will be SO large
at the popular price charged that
they will meet expenses with a little
to spare.
The play will be followed by ?
dance to which the ladies are invited
free, while spectators can watch from
the balcony without charge and
which will only cost the men so cents
each. The Douglas Melody Men will
furnish music and will play until one
o'clock.

there was q union chautauqua SER
vice, which was very we'll attended.
MIR. Cooke, who is acting as Chau-

speakers. Then followed a vcsper
hymn, DAY is Dying in the West"

church made the opening prayer
Then one of the young ladies of the

read the scripture and at the close OF
the reauinG two of the quintet sang
aduet. Rev. II. o. MeSert offered
prayer and n second solo followed.
The address of the evening was by
Frank b. Pearson. Tie announced
tfat he was to speak on the drama
of Job" The question involved
was. rs righteousness worth while?'
The book of Job answers that uues-
ton. Job was a leader and his three
friends We're Knockers Job was
rich. kindly and generous. Satan was
there with the rest. "I1e is" said
Mr.. Pearson. "a pretty regular at.
tendant at conventions, ] hear" God
accepted tho challange Of Satan, for
he was sure of~Job.
Mr.. Pearson made evident the
dramatic value of Jobs sudden re-
versal of fortune and emphasized
Jobs response: THE Lord gave and
the Lord taketh away. blessed be the
name of the Lord" He described
most wildly the hypocritical condol-
fnces of Jobs friends. He put the
stately Bible phrases in vigorous
modern English that forced home the
idea. He pictured Job drinking the
very dregs Of the cup, then gave the
ovation in the 23rd chapter, in which
job turns on his false friends: "Yea
though he STAY me. yet will trust
him. / know that my Redeemer liv-
eth, was Jobs triumphant response.
In the course of his outlining Jobs
story. Mr.. Pearson threw in occas-
sional remarks Of value and appIica-
ton to the live of his audience. His
language was often extremely vigor-
Gus and colloquial and his audience
appeared to enjoy his numerous re-
marks exceedingly.
Mr.. Pearson expressed wildly Job's
nnai self-humbling and his restora :
ZION TO more than his former state
OF "ell-being. Jobs magnanimity TO
the false friends was his Ana
thought. Righteousness is worth
while" A quintet selection ended the
