s.EIsie-You do not know how
thrilled / am to write that name,
Elsie. There Ii so much signifi-
canoe wrapped around il. In the
first place, it Is the mama OF the
worlds most wonderful little lady.
Its very meaning liz quiet, rest
full and affectionate. 1t Is beautiful
in itself, its melody is gorgeous,

an entirely different light on some
interesting testimony already given

Then Senate Committee also care
fully guarded premature publication
of a third investigation being con-
Quoted by Government agents into
a ''tip'' about the existence of a
second Continental Trading Com

convinced that such a company
existed inasmuch as it had never
been able to account for all the
$1,000, 900 profits accredited to
the Continental. Only $2,40e 900,
approximately, of this sum came
from the Continental's oil deal with
the Sinclair Crude Oil and the
Prairie Oil and Gas companies.
The source of the remaining $780,.

that committee members could
enter tne chamber.
Thousands pushed, n1Cbbed, ana
fought their way into the room ana
the demonstration was noisy ana
enthusiastic. Representative WEIGH
and others were given q salvo Of
cheers as they came In.
Slogans Withheld
The majority OF the crowd, under
the leadership of the Federation OF
Federal Employees, arrived without
participating In Mrs. Margaret Hop
kfns WorrelPs parade, organized at
the Peace Monument, which was
frowned upon as 'sundIgnified" by
the federation spokesman.
The paraders were forced to march
without banners, which were held
up. according to Mrs. Worrell, by
officials of the Interior Department
because they did not like the slogans
upon them.
WORD has come to me that these
banners, which were bought and paid
for by the workers, were held UP by
the Interior Department" Mrs. Wor.
rell said. ct is a high. handed piece
Of business"
The marchers, 500 strong, circled
around the Senate wing Of the Capt.
tol and crossed the plaza while bat
teries of cameras were levelled az
them. They arrived at the House
Office Building only to find hundreds
of others storming the doors OF the
caucus room, already packed almost
to the last available cubic foot.
Ashurst First Speaker
The biggest crowd that has ever
attended a Congressional committee
hearing damned its way into the
House caucus room for the hearing
before the Civil Service Committee
on the WEIGH bill to increase salaries
in the Federal classified service.
The crowd was 50 great that q
special squad of Capitol police had
to clear the way in order to let the
committee get into the room.
Senator Henry #. Ashurst, of Ari.
IONA, and about a dozen Congress
men appeared before the committee
at the opening of the hearing, in
support of the bill.
Senator Ashurst, the first speaker,
sounded the keynote of the drive by
Federal workers when he said that
there has been a horizontal rise in
prices everywhere within recent
years, in which the Federal employer
have not participated.
"The purchasing power of dollar
today is only about 81 per cent Of
what it was IA years ago." said Sen.
ator Ashurst.
The advance in the cost Of living
has been followed by a dispropor-
tionate raise in the salaries of Gov
eminent employees, he said.
"It would be a reproach for us
longer to delay the Government en-
ployes an opportunity to earn a fair
and decent living. The Government
owes every person in this nation 3
chance to earn a fair and decent iv'
ing" he declared.
Senator Ashurst explained the
presence Of so many Federal en-
ployes in order to meet some criti.
ciSn which had been heard from
members OF the committee, who
thought that the employees should
have been at work.

The defense introduced several
character witnesses at the closing
session Saturday. Tsese Of the re-
volver will be made today before

to see il it can be determined
how far away the pistol was when
the fatal bullet sped from it.

the race in the appointment of a
Negro man as director of the Sec
ton of Small Business Units.
(6) We protest against the con-
tinual discrimination against the Ne
gro on common carriers, including
buses. We believe, as American cit
liens, the Negro should be accorded
absolute equality in the matter of
travel
90 We note with pride the con-
tinual progress which the Negro is
making in education and call upon
state legislatures to increase their
appropriations for this purpose and
to make no discrimination in the APP
portionment of funds as between the
races.
49, We repeat our annual con-
demnation of lynching and mob vio-
lence and hereby record our graft
tude to the press, as well as other
agencies that are striving for the
abatement of this national evil.
(9) We urge the adoption by the
government of plans looking toward
rehabilitation of the flooded Missis-
sippi valley, building of the Boulder
! dam in the great southwest as well
rs an increase in the agricultural
extension work among Negro farm
ers.
(10) We call upon the religious
press, the ministers of the gospel and
leaders of our fraternal organiza-
tons to cooperate with the secular
press and other agencies which have
for their objective the development
of the economic life of the Negro.
In season and out of season, we must
preach the doctrine of race pride, of
interest in and support of Negro en-
terprise, including Negro newspapers,
not in the spirit of boycott but to the
end that we may provide employment
for our own boys and girls and insure
for ourselves permanent and endur-
ing place in American life.
CID Inasmuch as the ballot is the
effective weapon in the hands of free
men for the protection of their civic,
economic and social rights, we urge
black Americans everywhere to reg
lister and qualify as legal voters, pre-
pare to exercise their franchise in
the states where they reside.

LEGION SENDS OUT s. o. S.
SIGNAL AS LAST RESORT
BY E. w. MCGOWAN

So startling was the recent COM
munication from Department Com
mander Jean B. Cain, revealing the
relative standings of Douglas county
posts, that Legion officials were COM
PEELED to send out S. 0. S. signals
to delinquent legionnaires as a last
resort to collect 1928 dues, before
April 9th.
1t is quite apparent that many of
our buddies have overlooked and
completely disregarded this all impor-
tant feature of paying dues for
1928"
You are responsible for the success
of Roosevelt Post No. 80, and the
immediate payment of your dues will
be the greatest and most appreciative
contribution toward its success.
Would you permit your post to lose
its prestige and power through your
neglect? If you have not paid your
Legion dues for 1928, by all means,
pay them today.
Don't forget the next regular meet
ing, to be held April 9th, at Legion
headquarters. Bring a buddy with
you.

Salient Facts Before Amer
lean People

Louisville, Ky.-(Special) - With
a ringing address to the country,
touching practically every phase of
American life, brimful of the burn
ing facts that become realities of
today, the National Negro Press as
ISOLATION. has issued the following
statement to the country:
eve, the members of the National
Negro Press association, in conven-
ton assembled, submit the following
as our expression to the country, on
matters relating to the Negro and to
the progress of the country in gem
eral:
"a We record the remarkable
progress which has been made by the
Negro press in all sections of the
country, both in the technical make
up of the Negro papers and the virili-
ty of their editorial policy. More and
more the Negro press is regarded as
the accepted barometer of Negro
opinion and definite influence in
Negro life.
~ We record, too, our grateful
appreciation to Secretary Herbert
Hoover for his unflinching courage
in handling Negro refugees in the
flood disaster, and his most recent
demonstration of genuine American
ism in abolishing segregation in his
department, and we call upon the
president of the United States to
follow the precedent set by Secretary
Hoover and issue an executive order
abolishing segregation in all of the
departments and bureaus of our fed
eral government at Washington.
81 We view with alarm the re-
currence of the Lily White move
ment which strikes at the fundamen-
tai principles of the republican party
and call upon all patriotic Americans
of both races to stamp out this
agent of injustice.
az The unemployment of millions
of Americans calls for the sober re-
Election and the earnest cooperation
| of all Americans. We record our
alarm at sentiment which expresses
itself in the program of the ''Negro
last on the first off" in our econom-
ic structure. We believe that Negro
labor, of all groups in the country,
can least afford to be laid off and
we cannot help but feel that there is
something altogether sinister in the
Isdisproportionate number of Negroes
who are denied employment, thereby
keeping them on the precipice of eco
nomic starvation.
(5) We approve the efforts of the
National Negro Business league, to
work out a scientific approach to the
study of the Negroes economic condi-
ton as represented in the survey of
Negro business which is now being
conducted. We record our gratitude
to the United States department of
commerce for the aid and assistance
which it is giving to this survey and
the recognition which has come to
