By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Exposure by
International Labor News Service of
the communist direction Of the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress, called
to meet in Chicago, October 25, has
aroused labor executives, and Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, has issued a
strongly worded warning against the
conference.
Urging negro members of trade
unions not to have anything to do
with the proposed "labor congress" !"
President Green declared that "Com-
munism in America is comparable to
the boil weevil in the cotton fields"
Labor Disappr0ves Proposed
Meeting
He said that the American Fedora
tion of Labor "has not and will not
approve of such congress. He also
declared that the purpose of the orig
inators of the congress was to mislead
the colored men into believing that
"all their grievances will be remedied
by overturning the government of the
United States and establishing a
soviet republic"
During the past few days ] have
received number Of letters and tele-
grams asking if the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor approves of the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress called by
the workers (communist) party to
meet in Chicago, October 25," said
President Green.
"The American Federation of Labor
has not and will not approve Of such
a congress. 1t will not be held to
benefit the negro but to instill into
the lives of that race the most per-
nicious doctrine-race hatred.
Reds Attempt to Fool Negroes
"Glittering phrases are used to stir
the colored men, one of them being:
Negroes did not come into the world
with saddles on their backs nor the
whites with spurs on their heels
"The negroes are led to believe that
the dark races of the world are in
rebellion against the whites and that
all they need to do is to form an
American labor congress and all
social, political and economic discrim-

Cusker, secretary of the State Mer-

weekly letter this anti-unionist says
that the railroad brotherhoods and an
thracite miners are in secret COM

higher wages. While the organized
workers laugh at McClusker, many
people accept the anti-pnionist's fire.

The decree was accepted by the
packers and Attorney General Daugh-

living costs would be reduced. Since
then the packers have repudiated the
agreement.

SAID BARNEY syAS TOO OLD

Wise baseball scribes some years
Assured US with a positive pen
That Johnson's fast ball was so
slow
He'd never win a game again
They said poor Barney was too old,
His strong right arm had given
out;
His love for pitching had grown cold,
And hitters raped his curves
about.
But Walter fooled these know-all
eggs;
He came back stronger than be-
fore,
And still gave batters shaky legs,
Just like he did in days of yore.
Once more these critics wrote their
tales,
And told us in a fact-like way,
That Pittsburgh with their worthy
fails
Would stow aged Johnson in the
hay.
They said he'd never bring no wins,
Nor pitch a decent practice game;
That these wild "Bucs" would break
his shins,
And smite him with defeat and
shame.
They said he'd never go the gait
Before these smoke-town fighting
gents;
They'd knock his cap from off his
pate
And bust up all of Griffith's fence
But some way, Walter, good old
sport!
Just taught these ginks a cagey
trick;
He tore up Pittsburghs mighty fort
And made their sluggers weak and
sick.
1t may be so, that he's near through,
That he has lost his magic wing,
But still he made that Pirate crew
Destroy the air with healthy
swing.
No matter what they say of him,
That grand old master of the art,
He made fans eyes grow moist and
dim,
When he ripped Pittsburgh's team
apart.
Just let the game have more like
this,
And what dandy sport twill be;
For good, clean men bring joy and
bliss,
To sporting games eternally.

WILL 1T EVER COME BACK?

A query ofttimes met with in
these arid times, when the hiccoughs
and hilarity of yesteryear are swal-
lowed up in Volstead Sahara, is
will ''it'' ever come back?
The interrogatory sit" means, of
course, the liquid loquaeity which
was obtainable when almost all men
believed in signs, especially if they
were beer signs. The sit" ranged in
alcoholic content from sixty or more
per cent downward, and at almost
every cross roads there was an oasis
OF 1T" for the thirsty traveller
Naturally whether sit" has ever
left us is much mooted question.
There are indications that there is
seepage through the prohibition acts
and that there are certain places in
all sections where even a teetotaler
may become tipsy with an expendi-
ture of little less than the cost of
Ford car.
Be this as it may, sit" will never
come back and be dispensed as cit"
once was. No more will there be
days of conviyial glasses clinking to-
gether in palaces where frosted
glass. mahogany counter and brass
rail suggested surcease from trouble,
and loosened verbosity through vint-
age
There will be no more glasses
of 1T" from which to blow the bub-
bling suds, and no more schooners
to unload where sawdust-covered
floors silenced the footsteps of seek
ers after the amber-colored forerun-
ner of jaundice and jags.
It," as we who have trekked
westward for many, many moons
knew it, with it's bitterness and it's
brightness, its gloom and its gaiety,
its hilarity and its headache, like
the great aux has gone.
1T" will never come back.

BAsEBALL-NATIoNAL SPORT

The eyes of one hundred and ten
millions of Americans-deduct
of course, those too young. a few too
old and several chronic iconoclasts-
have been focused on the national
fray going on in Washington and
Pittsburgh during the past ten days.
Tens of thousands of otherwise Sc
date citizens attended the games be-
tween the premier clubs of the two
great leagues. and from the Presi-
dent of the United States down to
the lowliest laborer, enthusiastic fol-
lowers of the game cheered or cried
as the battle was on.
Not hamlet in all the land but
that had its crowds of listeners in"
as the radio broadcasted the diamond
battles, and the ruralite and urban
lite showed the same interest, and
gave vent to the same enthusiasm as
those fortunate enough to visualize
the victors and the vanquished.
There is no division of class when
the world series is on and neither is
there cleavage because of creed. col

DID HIM RIGHT

The unfrocking of an Episcopal
Bishop by the highest ecclesiastical
body of that church in New Orleans
will doubtless start anew the argu-
ments between modernists and fun
damentalists. The deposed prelate
was outspoken in his disbelief in the
things taught by the church to which
he professed allegiance and in which
he earned his daily bread. Lacking
the manhood to resign, it remained
for the church body to GUST him, and
any other action on it's part would
have savored of cowardice.
No one questions the privilege of
man to believe just what he wants
to believe. His brain is the subject
of individual control, but when this
belief is out of tune with the tenets
of the faith whose flag he flies, and
his conclusions do not harmonic
with the canons of his church, self
respect would suggest that he dis
sever his relations with the religious
body with which he is not in accord.
To do otherwise is hypocritical.
His denial of the divinity of
Christ, his preaching that the scrip
lures are not inspired and his substi-
tuition of Grass materialism for the
things accorded holy, warranted the
summary action taken by the church,
and whether the Ohio bishop is a
hereto or hero is matter of opin-
ion predicated on the individual be.
iefs of his judges.
Naturally the Bishop will receive
the sympathy of thousands who
agree with him and agnostic, atheist
and materialist will see in his depo.
sition martyrdom to his conscience
However, it is an ecclesiastical cpl.
sode which will have little effect on
the great mass of men whose beliefs
are rooted in a faith which has with
stood centuries of storms within and
without the church. 1t is just an in
cident which will in nowise effect the
inherent beliefs of those content to
build their hopes on the Rock OF
Ages.
1t suggests, though, that from pew
to pulpit many men no longer con-
form to the orthodox teachings OF
the church and that the merry war
between fundamentalists and mod
ernists knows neither creed nor con-
gregation.
1t also suggests that those who are
in the church but not of the church
should either get out or be thrown
out

SUPREME COURT ON SEARCH

The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday handed down an
opinion on search warrants which
set aside an opinion of a federal dis
trict court. In its opinion the SUI
preme Court says:
Federal agents operating under
the Harrison narcotic act have no
right to search residences without
a search warrant except where ar
rests are actually made" The deci-
sion was rendered in the appeal of
Thomas Agnello and others, arrest
ed in Brooklyn, N. Y.
The case, considered a precedent,
arose from the arrest of Agnello
and four associates after they had
completed sale of heroin, and from
the search of their residence and a
barber shop in Brooklyn, where they
had been meeting. The lower fed
eral court held that the search with
out warrants was legal.
THE protection of the fourth
amendment extends to all equally,
to those justly suspected or accused,
as well as to the innocent" the opin-
ion said. ''The search of private
dwelling without warrant is in it.
self unreasonable and abhorrent to
our laws.
Belief, however, well-founded
that an article sought is concealed
in dwelling house furnishes no
justification for a search of that
place without a warrant"

vIRGINIA's LUCKY STONES

Virginia's famous Patrick County
lucky stones were presented to ten
New Englanders in Waterbury,
Conn.,. October IL, by DR.. Joseph II.
Smith, president of the Virginia
State Chamber of Commerce, and
spokesman of party of thirty Vir-
ginians who are touring New Eng
land in the interest of commercial
reciprocity.
The stones, which are supposed to-
bring good luck to the wearers We're
presented to the heads of CONNER
cial organizations present after for
NAL ceremony by DR.. Smith, during
which he said:
The Southerners here assembled
are not going to leave you tonight
after simply expressing their appre-
citation of your bountiful welcome
and wishing you all the luck in the
world for the future. We intend to
insure you good luck in the future
as far as possible. To this end we
secured Virginias famous Blue
Ridge Mountains until we found a
few of these wonderful little Vir-
ginia lucky stones, found nowhere
else in the world except in Patrick
/ County, Virginia. They are known
the world over for the luck they
bring their wearers. Their origin
/ is mystery, and you probably will
not believe me when l tell you that
everyone of them is in the shape OF
+ a Cross when found. Nevertheless,
this is the truth, which the reports
of the U. S. Geological Survey will
prove to you, if you care to look them
up.
1.-THE stones are found only on a
limited area of about 100 acres in
the mountains They all vary slight
ly in size and they are smoothed of
with file and oiled, and the ring il
the top attached. That is all the
work that has been done on thi.
stone, gentlemen
Although the origin of these
stones is mystery, there is a very
beautiful little legend in connection
with it, which is incorporated in tn,
following poem:
When the temple veil was rended.
And the rocks were split in twain:
When the earth was clothed in dark
ness:
As a tribute to His pain:
Then the fairies in Virginia:
Learning that our Lord had died
In atonement for our failings-
Seourged. reviled and cruciied:
Wept, on hearing of His passion
/, And the sacrifice He made,
. And each tear they shed, in falling
Formed cross. the while the.
prayed.
Now. these crosses from Virginia,
Where the fairies wept and prayed
At His cruel cr6cifxion.
Serve to bless both man and maid
For no spirit thinking evil,
Can with anyone abide,
Who but wears this fairy tear drop
