The Shop Council of the Proletcos
Cafeteria has issued the following
statement urging the food work
ers to select Michael Obermeier who
is running against August Burk-
hardt for general secretary-treas-
urer of the Amalgamated Food
Workers Union:
The Volkszeitung seems to be
greatly worried about the Commu-
nists, their restaurants, the T.U.E.L.
and Michael Obermeier, who is run
ming against Lore's tool, Burkhardt,
for general secretary-treasurer of
the Amalgamated Food Workers
Union.
Mr.. Lore seems to be much put
out by the fact that the workers
of New York have been able, thru
the organization of a real workers
cooperative enterprise, to build a
restaurant, the "Proletcos" Cafe
terra, which Lore calls Communist
and supported by the T. U. E. L."
Obermeier Loyal Fellow Worker.
However, this is not all that
seems to be occupying Mr.. Lore's
mind. The Volkszeitung in the
brief news item insinuates that
Comrade Obermeier's only qualifi-
cations for general secretary-treas-
urer Of the A. F. w. is that he is
manager" of the above named res
taurant. The news item fails to
mention that Comrade Obermeier is
well known to the, workers of the

Obermeier has taken a leading part
in establishing union conditions of
the highest standard. The Prolet-
cos Cafeteria is organized and oper-
ated not for profits, but for the in
terests of hte workers as a whole.

Negro and White Workers Arrested Pcemg
PROTEST ACTION
OF OWNERS LAST
SATURDAY NIGHT
Mass Protest Meeting
to Be Called

Three Negro and three White
workers were arrested yesterday
noon while picketing the Tip Toe
Inn, on E. 14th St., as a protest
against that restaurants practice of
discrimination against Negroes. The
demonstration followed the refusal
of the management last Saturday
evening to serve a group of Negro
workers, all members of the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress.
The demonstration was organized
by the Congress, of which all three
of the arrested Negroes are mem
bers. Their names are 0. j. Golden,
president of the Harlem local of the
American Negro Labor Congress.
Harold Williams and Leonard Pater-
son. The two white workers are
trade unionists and members of the
Trade Union Educational League.
They are Sam Persily, Bertha
Bialek and Sol Horowitz.
Garry Placards.
The arrests were made Is min
utes after the demonstration had
begun. The workers, carrying pla-
cards denouncing the Jim Grow
policy of the Tip Toe Inn and call
ing for full racial equality, econ
omic, political, social, for the Ne
gro, had walked back and forth be-
fore the restaurant several times
without police interference except
the admonition of the officer on the
beat to keep moving and don't
bunch or I'll run va in"
With this policy, however, the
restaurant management was not
satisfied and hurried call was sent
in to police headquarters, with the
result that three additional police
men and three detectives were
rushed to the scene. AS soon as
these arrived they gave orders to
the pickets to "getta hell outa here
or We'll run va in" The pickets re-
fused to be scared away and con-
tinued their deliberate pacing back
and forth before the jim Crow res
taurant. The police grabbed the
pickets and lined them up against
the restaurant. A large crowd of
workers gathered, infuriating the
police still more.
Arrest Negro Editor.
In an effort to prevent publicity
and particularly to muzzle the Ne
gro press, the police also arrested
Cyril Briggs, editor of the Negro
Champion, who was taking photo
graphs CT the demonstration. He
was lined up with the six other /
workers, but was released when the 4
police van arrived.
The six pickets were taken to

He has made an exhaustive investi.

Gourley attempted to trace two

by failure OF the bucket shops to
cooperate. He was unable to learn
whether the stock the West Vir.

P. U. c. to Study View
Of Bride on Liability
Before Taking Action

Consideration was given by the
Public Utilities Commission today
to an opinion by w. w. Bride, cor.
poration counsel. dealing with the
proposal to require all taxicah oper.
ators to carry. libaility Insurance.
While a hearing on the situation
Is in prospect, 1t is understood no
definite plans will be made until
the commissioners have had an op-
portunity to study Brides opinion.
AS Harleigh H Hartman, vice
chairman of the commission. is a
lawyer. it is probable that his
views on the legality of the body
attempting to regulate the opera
ton of the cabs will play an i'm.
portant part In the ultimate de.
cision.
While Hartman was known tnday
to be busy deIvinH into the matter,
no intimation of his views was
forthcoming. However. 1t was
generally believed the commission
would decide to institute public
hearings as soon as the street-car
merger sessions are concluded next
month.
Brides opinion. just sent to the
commission, was to the effect that
all taxicabs in the District with the
exception of a comparatively small
number stored in garages until
telephoned for, are under the direct
supervision of the commission.
AS 1t is said that numerous
wrecks" now are in regular use
as taxicabs here. the commission
may take testimony on that angle
of the situation as well as on the
liability insurance proposal at the
hearing.

LACK Of CAUSE
On RAID HIT

Judge Ralph Given in Police Jury
Court late yesterday gave a crush.
ing blow to the practice Of police
officers in raiding public places for
liquor without probable cause when
he directed a verdict of not guilty
in favor of Frank Boonis. 900 block
Eighth st. S. E.. proprietor of a
delicatessen and lunch room.
Attorney Al Stern appeared as
counsel for Boonis and raised the
question of probable cause at the
end of the testimony of Sergeant
Oscar Letterman of the police vice
squad who led the raid on Boonis'
premises last July 25. Several
bottles of alleged liquor were found
during the raid, according to the
evidence.
No warrant was used in the raid.
Letterman insisting that Boonis
place was a public one and a war.
rant was not necessary. IT deVeI-
oped. however, that the police had
found no liquor on the premises &c
cupied as lunch room or deliCates'
sen but had gone behind a partition
separating the public part of the
building from private living quar-
ters and had found the alleged
liquor there.
Judge Given held that no probable
cause whatever existed for the en-
tering of the premises, and in
Structed the jury to return a verdict
of not guilty. Attorney Stern wa.
indignant in his address to the jury

QUINN BACKS
new CHANGE
IN CODE

Plans to enable the District
TO- locate the engine houses,
Fairgrounds and other official
institutions in residential Sec
tions was attacked today at .
meeting of the Zoning Com
mission.
Opposition was voiced by Henry r.
Quinn, vice chairman of the zoning
committee of the Federation of Citi.
zens Associations.
Quinn contended r. B. Henderson.
chairman of his committee, had
acted without authority in agreeing
to a proposed amendment to the
code.
The Amendment
The upshot of Quinn's speech was
that 1t appeared certain the commits.
sion would discard the amendment.
1t reads:
Municipal recreational uses,
pumping stations and fire engine
houses may be erected in any use
district provided that in the case of
fire engine houses located in the
residential districts a public hearing
shall be held by the Commissioners,
d. C.. Police stations shall be
located only IN commercial or In.
dustrial areas"
Quinn proposed that the amend
ment should read:
Municipal recreational usese,
pumping stations and fire engine
houses, may be erected in any use
district only upon unanimous vote
of the Zoning Commission after a
public hearing
Raps ID. C. Heads
Though the members of the com
mission finally looked with favor on
the proposed amendment. they will
be forced under the law to call
another hearing before acting on It.
Quinn took several thrusts at the
District Commissioners. He claimed
they wanted blanket authority to
locate fire houses and other pbiec-
tiunable municipal structures wher-
ever they pleased.
The proposal OF Quinn that the
Zoning Commission give individual
sanction in ease case resulted in a
statement given by Commissioner
| William B. Ladue. in which he
| favored such policy.
