TRY TO MISLEAD
NEGRO JOBLESS
Toiler States Demands,
Is Thrown Out

Cecil Hope and Marie Houston,
Negro workers and duly elected rep
resentatives of the Negro Labor
Congress, walked into st. Luke's
Church, 1877 7th Avenue, N. Y, yes
terday afternoon to attend an al
legged unemployment conference, held
under the auspices of the Brother
hood of Pullman Porters. They found
small gathering Of about seventy
people, mostly old women. The chair
man expressed surprise at the small
size Of the audience and ascribed the
failure of the meeting to draw a
large crowd to the "disinterested at
titude of the Negroes to the question
of unemployment"
The first speaker, Mr.. Hubert,
President of the Urban League, a
scab-henching organization which
furnishes scabs to the bosses, ad-
vised the Negroes to improve their
art of cooking as means of rcliev-
ing unemployment. He also ex-
pressed his faith in the Hoover Com
mission.
Philip Randolph, President Of the
Brotherhood of Pullman 2ortsrs,
made characteristic traitors
speech.
Immediately after Randolph, Cecil
Hope, delegate from the American
Negro Labor Congress, demanded
the floor. The Chairman immediate
diately ruled him out of order, and
said "This is a church gathering. We
want no Communists here"
There were few real workers in
The audience who demanded that
Hope be allowed to speak. But in
the confusion preacher mounted
the platform and demanded savagely
Throw him out"
Fists began to fly, and Hope was
forcibly thrown out of the hall, but
the meeting was also broken up. A
few Lovestonites were seen among
the few roudies which roughly
handled both Hope and Houston in
the church.

Sneak Snatch of Sleep
At the Holy Flop House, guard
ed by Whalen's cossacks, the corri-

seamen. Ninety per cent of them
are under thirty. They are a gloomy
bunch. Most have been out of work
for four months. They try to sneak
a few snatches of sleep in the hard
chairs, with vigilant dicks poking
them up on every round. Many of
them haven't had a regular flop"
for weeks. They sleep here in the
day time, or on the subways at
night. All of the sailors are in
fighting mood and make no bones
about telling their stories.

RESCUE PARTY
TAKES FOOD TO
TRAPPED GROUP

Rhinelander, son of a wealthy New
York family, and party of friends
probably snowbound at Campbell
Park resort, may be running low,
suprred rescue party which left
here early today by team and
wagon, with supplies.
Rhinelander, accompanied by
Mike Mahlan, Pat Moody and a
Mrs. Simmons, went into the noun
tain resort early this week with Il
three days food supply. When they
did not return yesterday, friends be-
came anxious believing the heavy
snowstorms of the past two days
may have prev ented the party from
returning to Las Vegas.
Stowcll Whitney is leading the
rescucrs. They hope to cover the 80
miles of snowy road between here
and the park, 1000 fet above sea
level by late tonight or early Sun
dav.
There are no telephone communi-
cations with the resort so conditions
of the Rhinelander party could not
be learned. They are not believed
to be in danger, however. The New
Yorker has cabin in the park, at
which he spends much of his leisure
time.

production.
The leading Democratic orator
took the floor as the contest over
sides admitted it would be decided
by the closest of margins. Harrison
warned his colleagues that it would
be one of the leading issues in the
November congressional elections
and told them their opponents would
sean their votes because "the people
are more interested in this provision
than any other item III the whole
tariff bill.
Harrison spoke to a crowded
chamber as he is the leader of the
fight TO retain the present duty of

to accomplish this reiult will be vOt-
cd upon early next week.
Prior to the debate the Republi-
