on there-and there was al
ways drinking.
1t was not a nice place.
And it was the fayorite
hang-out of Leota Ingram.
Ann Marie had seen her
behind the soft-drink bar
once or twice looking par
ticularly enhancing in a
frilly white apron and a
little cap to match.

her best
"Oh, I've spent plenty Of
evenings down here" " Howdy
said presently. "Playing

Ann Marie raised her eye

"Oh, l know it wasn't the

on defiantly. Being in the
bank and everything

He threw up his hands.

draggled lace curtains.
The front room was a
cheerful little place in spite
Of it's untidiness and it's dirt.
The sofa was piled with
cushions that were bright
colored and gay. There was
Q big bowl of white carna-
tions on the table in the
middle Of the room. Beside
the CRATE stood a magazine
rack filled with moving
picture magazines and illus
trated papers.
Ann Marie, sweet and
fresh as a primrose, sat
down on the edge of a chair
that stood beside a small
writing desk.
GIVE come to see you
about my brother" she be-
gan, and then she stopped
and took a second sharp
look at an envelope that was
lying on the desk.
It was a big square one
the kind that men use-and
it was made Of heavy white
paper. The post-mark on it
was "New York." and
Leota's name and address
were written on it in fine
dashing handwriting.
"Neal Forsythe's writing,
I'll bet!" The thought
seemed to flash across Ann
Marie's mind like a radio
message . This dreadful
girl was probably carrying
on a love affair with him,
too! 1t would be just like

"Open the door, for the
love of Mike, Ann Mariel
What's the matter with

And Marie did open it,
then, and he came in.
The minute she saw him
she knew that he was in
some terrible trouble. His
handsome young face was
drawn and haggard, and
there was a wild look in
his eyes. A hunted panic
stricken look.

dropped down upon the
nearest chair and began to
fan himself with his hat.
"Gosh all hemlock, but
It's hot in here!" he said.
"And I galloped all the way
up here from Titherage's. ;"
"Titherage 81" Ann Marie
was shocked. Why, you
never go to Tithersge s,
Howard Macy!"
For "Titherage's place"
was the town scandal.
It was a soft-drink parlor
and cigar store, to all out
ward appearances.
But it was a lot Of other
things, too.
In the room behind the
store there was a pool table
and a couple of slot ma
chimes.
There was always a game

age would have given their
eye-teeth for. Oh, my gosh !"
He dropped his head into
his hands, the very figure Of
despair.
"Oh, my good golly-"
He groaned.
Ann Marie shook her head
with impatience and exas-
peration.
Howard! Whatever IS
the matter!" she asked
sharply. "What on earth
has happenedi And what
ARE you talking aboutf"
He Strengthened up and
gave her a wild look.
"Leota Ingram, he said.
"I'm in the deuce of a fix

yet how / got into such q
scrape. ! swear / don t."
He groaned again.
Ann Marie just stared at
him, too dazed to speak.
"You remember, | used
to run around with her
years ago, until Dad made

voice came low and muffled.
He had dropped his head
again, and his chin was
buried in the collar Of his
coat. He did not look at
Ann Marie.
"Then l saw her again
down at Titherage's one
night just before Christmas,
and I took her to the picture
show i" =" You know I've
always been crazy about her
in a way, and after that
night I saw a lot of her"
"Did Florence Lawler
know about it," Ann Marie
broke in quietly.
Howdy shook his head.
"Gee gosh! MOI" he an
swered. "But she II have to

course-but now she says
that I've got to 60 through
with it or she II sure sue me |!
She was running around the
place just now, yelling that
she'd 60 tell Florence the
whole thing-Oh, my good
gosh!".
Ann Marie shut her eyes
for an instant go and IN
that instant she remembered
Leota, standing at the head
of the backstairs at the
Country Club, slack and
yielding, in Neal Forsythe 3
arms ." Leota in a maids

looks from behind the coun-

the "nice" girls at high
school were allowed to speak
to her.
"You can't marry Leota
ingram, Howdy," she said,
measuring her words, "no
matter what - we have to
do"
Howdy frightened at that.
"NOW you're talking!"
said Howdy. "That's why
I'm here, Ann Marie. Wen
have to buy her off if it
takes all the money we can
beg, borrow or steal"
His blue eyes slowed
around to the cash drawer,
lying on the top of the roll
top desk where Ann Marie
had left it.
Then they came back to
her.
Glow much yOu got in
that drawer?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing!" the girl
answe cred. "About 500,
Howdy. Just what I've
taken in since the bank
closed this noon " ." Wen

money with us when we go
to talk to Leota, and maybe
she doesn't want money.
Maybe she wants you.
Howdy just shook his
head and moaned.
II have a hunch that il l
give her a wad of money
she II let me alone" he said
after three or four minutes
had dragged by. "And-
if she won't I'm just going
to get ont Of town. SeeY"
Ann Marie did see.
"Well have to find out
what her idea of money is, "
she answered. You'd bet
ter not see her any more,
Howdy. But tomorrow
morning I'll look her up, and
I'll talk to her. And-you

She came across the room

and her voice was deep and
soft with tenderness. "Poor

That horrible girl!
"We'd all have to leave

"We couldn't ever hold up

again."
She fell asleep, at last,
still trying to think of ways
to raise some money to add
to the bit she had in her
bank account, money to
"buy off" Leota.

Marie said mournfully to
herself as she walked along
Front Street on her way to
Tyson Court where Leota In

wouldn't believe there could
be worry and trouble
there!"
For the sun was shining
and the air was as warm as
if the month had been April
instead of January
The grass along the edge
of the sidewalk seemed to
have taken on the fresh
green of the springtime.
There was a soft little wind,
whispering around the town.
The first-floor windows Of
the apartment house where
Leota lived were open, and

In the dirty marble vesti-

them.
Ann Marie found Leota's
card and rang her bell.
After a minute or two a
door on the first-floor land

self poked her head out into

We have already reported in detail the system of

"The reason why Negro workers
cannot be organized into the labor
movement is because they live in
segregated areas and are controlled
by boss-politicians whose interest is
identified with the employing Glass;"
was the explanation given for the
lack of economic organization among
Negroes, by John P. Frey, one of
the bureaucrats of the reactionary
American Federation of Labor, at
the recent National Inter-Racial
Conference held in Washington, D..
C. Frey is editor of the Iron Mould
ers Journal, and a lecturer to col
leges and employers associations.
Frey, whose great boast is that he
was the first trade unionist to at
tempt to organize Negro union in
the South, was invited to address
the conference on the subject: Grace
Problems and the Labor Movement"
Apologize Speech.
This labor faker began his adj
dress-the most apologize presenta-
ton made before the petty bourgeois
intellectuals who constituted the con-
ference-by excusing the reactionary
attitude and manifestation of race
prejudice existing among the mis-
leaders of the A. F. of L. by saying
that it was unfair to criticize Green
and his cohorts, because they were
not as openly hostile to the Negro
workers as the church and many
people who call themselves Chris
tians in America.
The speaker then stated that eff
forts to organize Negro mechanics
did not meet with success, because he
found that whenever Negro workers
became organized they were faced
with two problems: First they were
viciously Disseminated against by
the white workers, especially in the
skilled industries, and second, Negro
political leaders are paid by the
capitalists to discourage organiza-
ton and to crush their militancy.
Helps Only Skilled.
Again, most Negroes belonged to
the unskilled class Of workers, and
the A. F. of L. was more concerned
today with the skilled workers, said
Frey, whose position within the last
ten years was greatly affected by
the mechanical improvements taking
place in industry. Negro workers
were therefore the greatest suffer
ers, not because of their color, said
Mr.. Frey, but chiefly because they
represent that stratum Of the work
ing class which is unorganized.
1t was therefore the duty Of Negro
workers to acquire education and
skill and thereby raise themselves
out of their present status into the
rank of skilled labor, where they will
be assured of protection along side
the skilled white labor, Frey stated.

For United Struggle.

Frey's address, despite its open
betrayal of a large section of the
american working class, is a frank
expression of the deep-rooted decay
and corruption within the ranks of
the A. F. of L., which only goes to
confirm the charge of bankruptcy
levelled against Green and other la
Dor aristocrats. In the present class
struggle which becomes more and
more acute daily, the Negro workers
can only look to the Communist
Party and the eft wing of the labor
movement to organize them in the
common struggle of labor against
capital.
The white worker, especially in
the ranks of unskilled, must unite
with their black brothers in purging
the labor movement of its present
misleaders. and building their unions
on program of militancy for the
final victory of the working-class
over the parasitic capitalists an
their lackeys who today control the
A. F. of L.
