VIII Meet In
Chicago, Friday

CHICAGO, Aug. %. -- Race vo-
ters of the Republican party are
scheduled to meet at the National
Negro Voter League, which will con
vene in this city at Wendell Phillips
High School, Friday. Judge Hues-
ton, Chairman of the Executive
Committee had the following to say
about the meeting.
"This meeting is not for the pur-
pose of attempting to lead the Amer
lean Negro in or out of any polltl-
cal party, but it is for the purpose
of taking stock and balancing the
Races political accounts. The prime
purpose is to permanently organize
the National Negro Voters League
and to arrange to have said League
function throughout the entire Uni
ted States to the end that every Ne
gro man and woman of voting age
will not only have the right, bus use
that right at every opportunity. for
it is known that the ballot is the
safeguard of human rights. The
National Negro Voters League be-
lieves that it is the duty of Negroes
who live in States where they may
vote, TO use that right in such a way
that it will benefit the Negroes who
live in the states where race preju-
dice denies them the opportunity.
Judge Hueston continuing an
nounced the purposes of the League
and meeting, namely, First, to
work for the full enfranchisement
of the American Negro; Second, To
ascertain where the Negro stands
in the Republican Party and to
scourge those who betray the race
for political advancement. This as
sures that the meeting will be. full-of
purpose and pep"

Custer Move Is
Fought By Negro
Railroad Workers


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. %. -
The largest body of Negro rail-men
in the South have been called to rally
against movement on the part of
white workers to throw them out of
their jobs. Drastic action was start
ed when il was learned that the Big
Four Brotherhoods have requested
the Frisco Railroad to grant them
contracts which would make it inn
possible for Negroes to serve as fire
men, trainmen and yardmen.
Definite steps to meet the menace
were launched Tuesday at the con-
vention of the Interstate Order of
Colored Locomotive Firemen. En-
gine Helpers, Yard and Train Ser
vice Employees, at which railroad
workers from all parts of the country
were present. Drastic action was
considered necessary since the move
ment against the Negro is seen as
might terminate in the ousting of
Negro workers from all rail jobs in
the South.
r. L. Mays, labor counsel Of this
city, who has taken up the cudgel in
defense of the Negro workers, has
written J. f. Hutchinson. vice presi-
dent of the Frisco System, apprising
him of the rumor and urging him to
turn a deaf ear to the request of the
Brotherhoods.

self because of the attitude of the

WASHINGTON, ID. C. - In an

predicted his reelection for the sixth
term as grand exalted ruler of the
Improved Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks of the World at its
twenty-ninth annual grand lodge ses-
sion which will be held in Chicago

His reelection will be by acclama-
ton, Mr.. Wilson said. No candidate
is expected to be put in nomination
against him. He pointed out that the
hardest fight he has had to make for
reelection occurred in Richmond in
1924. Since then opposition to his
reelection has diminished until this
year there is practically none.
Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson ex-
poets the Chicago convention to be
the greatest in the history of the or

will be in attendance.
lie is pleased with the progress the
order has made this year, particular
ly in the South, where there were
no lodges before he became the grand
exalted ruler.
The order is in a healthy finan-
cial condition, says the grand exalted
ruler. New homes are continually be-
ing erected, he states. In Trenton,
N. j., Sunlight Lodge with less than
500 members is erecting a 100000
home. Monarch Lodge of New York
City is building a million dollar
apartment house building which will
contain an auditorium, lodge and
club rooms.
Recounting his labors since the
last grand lodge session, Grand Ex-
alted Ruler Wilson says, "I have Wis
tied over 800 lodges, dedicated 7S
homes, have burned 62 mortgages
and have instituted about rs new
lodges"

Federal Judge
Raises Color
Issue In N. Y.


BROOKLYN, N. a., Aug. 20. =
Federal Judge William II. Atwell
advised colored and white people not
to live together in New York Satur-
day.
The judge, who is SO, was born
in Wisconsin, but was educated in
Texas and practiced law in Dallas.
+. r. Serri, white lawyer, was
threatened by the court with impris-
onment.
The occasion was appearance of
Mrs. Angeline De Luca, white, be-
fore the court for sentence on the
charge of selling a pint of whiskey
for so cents.
In his summation, Serri asserted
that a pint of whiskey cannot be
bought for SO cents and with heavy
sarcasm declared that "a modern mi
racle is an enforcement officer who
tells the truth on the witness stand"
He ridiculed the testimony of the
officers that they had no difficulty
making the purchase, though not
known by the defendant or vouched
for by someone else.
The court is quoted as saying:
at also is inexcusable for an at
torney to offer his own experiences
and opinions in a matter Of this kind,
in view of the well known ethics
of the profession and the rules of
the Bar Association.
"The Court is unaccustomed to
things of this sort and the ethics Of
the profession are opposed to TRADES
such as an accusation by an officer
of the court against the character OF
officers in a case. Such procedure
has tendency to lead to discord in
the courtroom"
an my country an officer of the
law so accused would have smashed
his accuser before they got out Of
the courtroom.

Colored Elks
Threaten To Name
National Ticket

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. =
"Another unique note was added
to this campaign today when it be-
came known here that in all probab
ility 'Negro race ticket" for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the Uni
ted States would be named this
week in Chicago by convention rep
resenting almost half million Negro
men and women. The delegates to
the convention are expected to num-
Der more than 5000.
"The organization which they will
represent is the Independent Order
of Elks, one of the two great frat
ernal orders existing among Negroes.
"The grand attorney of the In
dependent Order of Elks now con-
templating this entry into national
politics by the Negro race as race
is the nationally known character,
Perry Howard. Howard is Repub-
lican national committeeman from
the State of Mississippi. He has been
an Assistant Acknowledgement of the
United States. He is under suspen-
sion from that post because of having
been indicted by a United States
Grand Jury in Mississippi on charges
of selling Federal offices.
"His indictment has been widely
attacked in the Negro press on the
ground of discrimination" White
men, it is said, who are equally guilty
of selling Federal offices have re-
manned "unmolested" while Howard,
being a Negro, has been "persecut-
cd" Therefore Howard as grand
attorney of the Independent Order
of Elks will be portrayed to the con-
vention at Chicago as race mar
tyr"
"The Howard affair is one of hun
dreds or even thousands of incidents
and situations which have been cur
and in the Negro pulpits as alleged
proofs of "intolerable hostility to
the Negro by political fastiess -
"The argument is made that now
is the time for protest vote The
Negro nominee of the Chicago con-
venton for the Presidency of the
United States, it is understood here,
may be Louis Anderson of Chicago,
said to be a member of the local
Board of Aldermen. A full report
on the prospect, along with an esti-
mate on its extreme seriousness, has
been conveyed to Herbert Hoover at
Palo Alto personally by Roscoe Sim
mon, who has been an outstanding
Republican national politician of the
Negro race since the days of Mark
Hanna, and who is now chairman of
the Colored Speakers Bureau in the
Republican national Western cam
paign headquarters in Chicago.

with Hoover at Palo Alto by Robert
r. Church, of Memphis, member of

Tennessee and dominant Negro char
acter in all Memphis and Tennessee
politics. Church is a member of the
Negro executive committee of the
Hoover national campaign; but by an
awkward chance he is also chairman
of the executive committee of the
Independent Order of Elks", which
at present seems determined in its
Chicago convention to bolt from all
political affiliations with whites"
