The Pacific Coast News Bureau at
Los Angeles reports that Southern
California or that part in this neigh
borhood has but 1900 feet available
to the $4,000 colored population.
The privileges secured are about to
be lost. At San Monica, a colored
man owns a hotel several blocks
from the beach and bathers must
walk half mile Repeated Efforts
to secure finance for these privileges
have resulted in failure. The same
conditions which we're in vogue at
Atlantic City, N. J.. where George
Walls held, sway "a have crept up
on the beach In California.
OF course colored folks are largely
responsible for these determinations
They are too selfish, every one of
them being for himself. 1t is Gods
way of working out the problem :.
When they become absolute pariahs
IN thir own land, they will awaken
to the need of unity of purpose
and oneness of action. Persecu
ton will separate the wheat OF
cooperation from the char of in

The brilliant James Weldon John
son, Secretary of the National AS
ssociation for the Advancement of
Colorad People issues under date of
October as, 1926, vitriolic reply to
the attack of Robert l.. Vann. editor
of the influential and widely read
Pittsburgh Courier, in which he an
nounced that he had investigated the
Garland Fund" and that the same
had been improperly dissipated. Mr..
Johnson's language, if used in France
would mean pistols and Coffee" for
two, for he charges the popular edi-
tor with down right lying.
We as a race cannot afford this
kind of controversy. This Associa-
ton is doing a great work and it is
unfortunate that our people do not
rally and place a half million dollars
at it's disposal Certainly it Is blaz-
ing the way to the securing of in
herent fundamental rights for our
people. We do not know the ami
mus on either side in this unfortun-
ate controversy. To injure and de-
stroy this great organization would
be calamity. Let us have peace at
least amongst ourselves.

BY James p. Dawson

A feeling of relief in the removal
OF the menace he constituted, and a
sense Of satisfaction for those who
championed the cause and the capa-
bilities of Jack Dempsey whenever
talk of mixed title match occurred,
stood out in the backwash of the
downfall of Harry Wills at Ebbets
Field last Tuesday night.
Mingled with these emotions was
feeling of regret that it was not
Dempsey who brought about the rev.
elation
For not a man or woman in the
vast throng which witnessed this
latest ring debacle would deny for
moment that Dempsey always was
the master of Wills, basing the state
ment on the standard of compar-
isons.
The fight brought another title
contender to the front-a more dan
gerous challenger than many yet re-
alize; certainly more qualified and
established contender than ever Wills
was Jack Sharkey today is on
plane with Jack Dempsey in the list
of pursuers for Gene Tunney, present
champion. If indeed, he is not de-
serving of precedence over the form
er title holder. The Boston ex sailor
did what Dempsey could not or
would not do when he undertook
the match with Wills. He also did
what Tunney would not do.

CALIFORNIA OFFICIAL
GETS AFTER COMP NIES
VIOLATING WAGE LAWS

SAN FRANclsco-Labor Com
missioner Walter G. Mathewson Is
seeking to enforce strictly the SEMI
monthly wage law, which he says Is
being flagrantly flouted by many cor
porations, resulting in crews Of
workers being left stranded while
their pay is illegally held up.
He cites the case Of a crew Of 81
workers in Shasta county, stranded,
when $1,000 in wages was due
them: a crew of 25 in Plumas
county, with $4,000 in unpaid wages;
27 workers in calaVeras county with
$500 due; 81 men In San Mateo
county from whom $4,000 was with
held in wages; and five men in So
noma county, waiting for $1,000.
In all these cases, both civil and
criminal actions are being taken by
the labor bureau, and the commits
sioner will ask for jail sentence in
the case of several offenders who
are "repeaters," having before left
their crews stranded.

Army Senator'S Form
Bloc to Defeat Treaty
for Outlawing of Gas

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A bloc of
senators who have been in the U. S.
army, egged on by soldiers organiza-
tons, has been fornsaa to defeat rati-
fcation by the United States Of the
Geneva protocol providing for the
outlawing OF gas in warfare. A vote
will be held next week, and observers
say the treaty will be defeated. This
will means all other nations will reject
the protocol.
Those in the "gas bloc" include:
Warren, Wyoming; Wadsworth, New
York; Reed, Pennsylvania; Bingham,
Connecticut; Stewart, Iowa; Means,
Colorado; Tyson, Tennessee; Steck,
Iowa.
The soldier organizations, including
the legion and world war veterans, is
bombarding the senate with propa.
ganda to prove that U. S. defense will
be weakened If poison gas is denied 1t.
1t is significant that Gen. Pershing
is in favor of the protocol. He says
that the use of gas is "a cruel and in
tolerant mode of warfare"

Especial 10 ne lazy UUNS'y
BERLIN, Dec. 15.-While the Ger.
man press seemed satisfied with the
results obtained at Geneva earlier
this week, the Vossische Zeitung Sc
verely criticized government officials
for their cool reception of foreign min
lister Stresemann on his return from
Geneva. The paper remarked that
only two members of the cabinet were
at the railway station to meet Strese-
mann, the others attending cabinet
session.
Reception Strange.
ct seems strange that Herr Strese-.
mann's colleagues should remain in
session while the German negotiator,
honored by the award of the Nobel
peace prize, comes home," the paper
said.
The newspaper contrasted Herr
Stresemann's reception with that ju-
bilant welcome accorded to Doctor
Symons when the latter, returned
from the London conference where
he had turned down the allies pro-
posals.
