The Meeting of the National Negro Business League
Was Nothing in Comparison to the Meeting of the
National Association of Colored Women.
e RICH ADVOCATES SUP
PORT OF NEGRO NEWS
PAPERS

Washington, ID. C.-The Bureau OF
Public Affairs, inaugurated at the re-
cent General Conference Of the "A. M.
E. Zion church, with Bishop Z. d. w.
Jones, Of Washington, ID. O., as its
head, sends out, in its third weekly
release, an appeal to the ministers
and laity of the church to subscribe,
support and aid Negro newspapers.
The Negro church and the Negro
press must work together in the edu-
cation Of the race, not only in re-
ligion, but in politics, in social deal
ings, in economies and in general up
lift movements. The bureau urges its
constituency in particular and the
race in general:
FIRsT-To read Negro news
papers.
sEcoND-To create a demand for
them at newsstands in the country to
sell Negro papers BY asking for them
weekly.
THIRD-To aid Negro editors to
secure news Of the race. its progress
and ventures by becoming volun-
tary reporter in your community. Ex-
pose injustice; tell of relationship be-
tween the races; give out important
happenings and let the world know
us through our own mediums. We
are not in position, just yet, to be-
come members Of the great press as
sociations Of the world, but we are
able to form voluntary news gather
ing association among ourselves. No
town should be without such a re-
porter.
FOURTH-To subscribe for Negro
magazines.
FIFTH-We urge our ministers
everywhere to emphasize from puIpits
the necessity of having Negro news
papers in every Negro home.
Bishop Jones is true blue and more
than one yard wide. If the colored
preachers would only do their part
along the lines pointed out by him it
would rebound to the benefit of all
and instead Of each church endeavor-
ing to edit and run small, poorly
printed newspapers, they, the preach
ers, Should publish the church notices
or announcements in the regular es-
tablished weekly newspapers. By that
means they would be helping to edu-
cate their members and the race in
general UP to the point or habit Of
reading at least one good newspaper
each week and the paper should be-
come a permanent fixture in their
homes.-Editor.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Europe, in the six years, has gradually come to

ORDER EARLY REPAIR
OF FREIGHT BRAKES
Supreme Court Holds Work Must
Be Done at Nearest Pos
sible Point.

The safety appliance act was inter-
preted by the Supreme Court today as
requiring the repair of defective
brakes upon freight cars when an
available repair station is reached,
unless the cars with the defective
brakes are at the end of the train.
The court held that the act pro-
hibits cars with defective brakes be-
ing carried past repair stations even if
more than IS per cent of the remain
ing cars of the train are equipped
with brakes in working order.
The New York Central rallroad had
raised the question in the federal
district court for Western Pennsyl-
vania, which held that the railroad
company violated the act when two
trains with cars having detective
brakes were permitted to pass a re-
pair station.
The railroad company contended
that inasmuch as the cars with de-
fective brakes were in each instance
cut out of the power brakes system
controlled from the locomotive of the
train without impairing the engineer s
control over the train, ii was not nee
essary to stop for immediate repairs
at the nearest repair station.

Efforts will be made by Engineer
Commissioner Bell to have the Sen

to do everything possible to prevent
their gradual destruction.
That the trees have been Slipping

FISHERIES POLICIES
UPHELD BY HOOVER
Says Attacks on Activities Come
From Persons interested
in Exploitation.
BILL NOW BEFORE SENATE
Secretary Determined to Continue
Salmon Fight.

Replying to renewed charges that
the Department of Commerce had
permitted valuable fishing rights in
Alaska to fall into the hands Of
monopoly, Secretary Hoover today Is
sued a formal statement outlining the
departments interest in the question
and declared published attacks were
being made in an effort to defeat
pending Legislation for saving the
industry"
The suggestion that the Depart
ment of Commerce has aided or foster
ed any special interest or any mon
opoly in fishing in Alaskan waters is
absurd" Secretary Hoover said "As
a matter of fact there is not operat-
ing today a single company which
was not operating when the depart
ment for the first time obtained par
tial control over these waters two
seasons ago. and there is not today a
single cannery which is not operat-
ing on a lower scale as to number
OF fish taken or packed than at the
time when the administration by the
department began

Pending legislation to restrain de-
truction and exploitation of the fish
cries was unanimously approved by
both the Demoractic and Republican
members OF Il House committee after
exhaustive investigation OF the entire
subject, Mr.. Hoover said. a bill was
passed by the House practically with
out dissenting vote, he said, and is
now before the Senate.
1T is natural enough" Mr.. Hoover
added, "for people who find that they
must make some sacrifice for the
public good to use every measure and
device to defeat this attempt at real
conservation on behalf of tif Amer
lean people.
The department has necessarily in
Cured the bitter opposition of certain
groups OF Gamers and certain groups

fisheries are in Alaska. Unless their
exploitation is restrained, and at once.
