AS to how the term came to be ap-

Ford Plant Will

st. Paul Factory Opens Doors to
Negroes Under Efforts of
Urban League.

eliminating eighteen months of
incessant effort by the secretary of
the local Urban League, the st. Paul
branch of the Ford Motor Company
has finally opened it's doors to colored
employees.
The general manager of the St..
Paul Ford plant after repeated con-
ferences with E. A. Carter of the Ur-
ban League stated that Negroes
would be employed in proportion to
the colored population of the city,
and that preference would be given
to men recommended by the Urban
League.
Although one of the aims of the
secretary of the Urban League has
been for long time to open the ap-
parently closed doors of the st. Paul
Ford plant to colored workers, and
although that attempt has received
the backing of all right-thinking peo-
pie in the community, there have
been certain attempts by Negroes to
stop the employing of Negroes in the
plant, according to Mr.. Carter.
"There," said Mr.. Carter, "you
have the cooperation which many st.
Paul people have been giving to an
activity which is altogether worth
while"
The first three men to be employed
in the plant are Morris Coins, James
Lee and w. e. Shackleford.

of the N. A. A. C. P. board of di-

Marshall will open the argument and
present the case at length and that
Mr.. Storey will reply to the argu-

case for the N. A. A. C. P.
Concerns Property Agreements.
The case to be argued concerns the
right of white property owners to
make agreements not to sell to Ne
groes, and to enforce such agree
ments at law. 1t is the contention of
the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys that since
the Supreme Court in the Louisville
case of 1917 declared segregation by
law or ordinance to be unconstitu-
tional, it is equally illegal for the
courts to enforce private segregation
agreements.
The case arose out Of sale OF
property in Washington, situated al
1877 "S'' Street N. w., to Mrs. Helen
Curtis, colored woman. The prop

White property owners who were
party to the agreement, went to court
and enjoined the owner from selling
the property and Mrs. Curtis from
taking possession of it.
On appeal to the Court of Appeals
the higher court upheld the injunc.
tion. The case was then appealed to
the United States Supreme Court
where it is now to be heard.

Former Pastor
Of City Church
Ousted MChicago

Because he was "too highly edu-
Gated" Reverend J. M. Henderson,
one-time pastor of st. James A. M.
E. Church of st. Paul, and later pre-
siding elder of the Chicago district
of the A. M. E. conference, was prac-
tically ousted from Coppin Chapel
A. M. E. Church of Chicago.
About month ago, at the A. M.
E. annual conference held in Gary,
Ind, Reverend Henderson had been
removed from the Office of presiding
elder and was assigned to Coppin
Chapel by Bishop Gaines.
Church Lands Appointment.
At the time, the congregation of
the church, not only was satisfied
with the appointment, but was eager
for it because, among his other emf
nent qualifications for leadership.
Reverend Henderson was a man of
high reputation as a scholar.
For a matter of some two weeks,
the wheels of the church routine
moved with oiled precision, but at
the end of that time, the trustees
evinced very manifest dislike for
their administrative head for the
same reason that had at first made
him appeal to them, his scholarliness.
Gaines Intervenes.
After a considerable alteration
between the minister and the board.
no satisfactory agreement was reach
ed, and the matter stood at dead
lock. Realizing the futility of arbi-
ltration in the case as it was present
| ed, Bishop Gaines reappointed Rev
erend Henderson to a charge in Gary.
Ind, and the situation rested.
Reverend Henderson was succeed
ed temporarily by w. II. McGavock.
