SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Social Precedence.
I love my little dairy lunch,
Where I can bid my cares 20 hence,
And calmly MUNICH without . bunch
Concerning social precedence?
Perhaps I have to stand In line
Among the patrons who appear.
Though not so fine, that place Is mine
I grab, though Dukes and Eerls draw
near.
I know the chef will have a heart
And democratic rules apply,
Which will not start toward me the part
OF the smoked fish that has the eye.
And so, am content to stay
Aloof from all the salad bunch,
And, day by day, serenely stray .
Forth to my favorite dairy lunch.

TRADE UNION UNITY LEAGUE

WORKERS
CRUSADER News Service)

New York, October.-Negro work
ers played a leading and vital part
in the recent convention in Cleveland
of the Trade Union Unity League.
They served on all important COM
mittees and had one of their number
as vice-chairman the first day and an
other as chairman on the third day.
Six Negro workers were also elected
to the National Executive Committee
of the 7. U. U. L., with one of the
six, J. W. Ford, full-time national
organizer. Prominent among the
resolutions passed by this epoch-mak-
ing convention was the following on
the Negro:
''The growing war danger, arising
from the sharpening contradictions
of world imperialism, mass unemploy-
ment, wage cuts, speed-up systems,
ETC., the sharpening of the class
struggle, the proletarianization of
tens of thousands of Negroes due to
their migration into industrial cen
ters, the mechanization of agricul-
ture and the industrialization of the
South; the continued social, economic
and political oppression of the Ne.
groes by the bourgeoisic and land
owners; the betrayal of these work
ers by the treacherous A. F. of L.
and S. P. leaders, the unmasking OF
the Negro reformist movement, all
these forces radicalize the Negro
masses, and give US increasing oppor'
tunities for successfully organizing
the Negro workers into the new mill.

New York.-At the regular month
ly meeting of the Administrative
Committee of the Federal Council OF
the Churches of Christ in America,
held at 105 East Twenty-second

extended discussion of the attitude
and policy of the Federal Council
with reference to the relations OF
white and Negro members OF the
same churches. The question was
brought before the Administrative
Committee by interested members
who felt that it was important for
some clarifying statement to be made
lin view of the recent discussion OF
the subject. Included in the at
tendance of the meeting of the Ad-
ministrative Committee were repre-
sentatives of Negro churches and also
representatives of white churches
both northern and southern.
The final action which was taken
recognized the problem as of such
vital import that instead of dis
posing of it hastily, instruction was
given to the Commission on the
Church and Race Relations to study
the whole issue and to be prepared
to report at the coming Annual Meet.

the whole Council. The resolution
which had unanimous support was as
