to be erected on B street between
Second and Third streets, on what will
be the "ceremoniap avenue of the Cap
ital. The owners agreed to redesign
their building, erect a building of more
stories than originally planned, to place
stone instead of brick on the exterior
and otherwise to dress up the structure.
1t might truly be said that doo-dads Of
more attractive character were thereby
selected cor this building.
OF much greater importance is the
recent passage by the Senate of the
ShipStead bill which would give the
Fine Arts Commission authority to
regulate the character and appearance
of the exterior of buildings facing upon
Government reservations, the purpose
being to safeguard the surroundings of
the costly Federal developments now
being erected.
1t is believed the effect of this meas
ure would be to cause the employment,
not necessarily of more numerous, but
rather of more fitting, proper and USE
full and attractive ornamentation on
such buildings.
This proposed law has been given
wide support among local organiza-
tions.
The statement that there are vast
host of doo-dadS good and badD on
buildings in Washington is based on a
study of numerous examples of public
ard private schools, Government struc-
lures, Office buildings and churches.

Article No. 8,

THE adoption of new and more appropriate
1 name with looser form Of organization was
not one of the least of the problems which faced
the convention of the American Negro Labor
Congress at ST. Louis. The new name adopted
is the League of Struggle for Negro Rights
Since its organization in 1925, there had been
objections to the name American Negro Labor
Congress, some legitimate, some unfounded.
While the new name has not disposed of all OBJ
jections, it was nevertheless the considered
opinion of the convention that the name League
of Struggle for Negro Rights more adequately
expressed the scope and purpose of the organiza-
ton than had the old name or for that matter
any other name proposed. The convention was
unanimous in its adoption of the new name
1t is manifestly impossible to get into name
of Struggle for Negro Rights expresses the main
ideas of the purpose of the organization and that
it is based on struggle and not on reformism and
legalistic petitions like those organizations dom
mated by the belly crawling petty bourgeoisie
Moreover, the name itself stresses the important
lesson that struggle is essential to the securing
of Negro rights to the achievement of Negro
liberation The new name further removes the
misconception that the league is confined to
Negro membership alone or that its activities
are limited to the confines of purely economic
struggles The fact that over one-third of the
delegates to the convention were white workers
National Executive Committee, gave unmistak-
able emphasis to the character Of the league as
an organization of white and Negro workers
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-11-25
St. Louis Convention of the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights

banded together in the struggle for Negro rights
Words like worker and labor were deliberately
omitted from the new name. The convention did
not intend that membership in the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights should be confined to
Negroes nor yet to the industrial proletariat
Negro and white. The convention intended to
draw into the struggle for Negro rights the
broad masses, white and Negro, the farmers and
agricultural laborers and even those elements of
the petty bourgeoisie who while not willing to
support the economic struggles of the workers
and poor farmers could yet be won on ma
tonalistic basis for the struggle for the right of
self-determination, state unity of the Negro
masses in the Black Belt
BY emitting terms like labor and worker from
the new name of the organization the conven-
ton also gave notice of its intention not to con-
fine its struggles for Negro rights to the field of
labor BY designing its purpose as a struggle
for Negro rights and not only ultimate Negro
liberation, the convention rightly interpreted
that struggle as including the very smallest
fight against oppression and for all immediate
demands clear up to complete Negro liberation
The convention also decided that the organ
ization should have looser form than in the
past. 1t is now possible for the masses to join
the League of Struggle for Negro Rights in any
form they DESIRE through affiliations of their
lodges, clubs, unions ETC., or by joining branch
OF the League. They can join any of the
existent branches or they can organize a branch
with six or more members, without regard to
the existence of branches in any city That
is, they can organize many branches in any
city suits their convenience. Each branch
elects small executive committee to direct the

AS white has point in his inner
table blocked, black can not eItsr
and loses his throw. White throws
in turn one and three. He can
play his one from point II to point
u in blacks outer table.
This takes his blot to safety, but
white still has a three to play, which
forces him to leave blot on some
other point. He decides instead to
play his one from point to point 5
in his inner table and covers it with
man from point g in his own

This blocks point and leaves one
less point on which black can enter

throw. White therefore makes this
play.

THE diagram with today's arti-
4 Gle shows yesterdays two plays
completed, with man left alone on
point II in blacks outer table.
A single man resting upon a point
is called blot" If an opponent
makes the proper throw he may. if
he wishes. play man to this point.
The blot then must be removed
from the point and placed upon the
bar. This is called hitting" in blot.
The man thus hit must be re-en-
tered in the opponents home table,
in accordance with the numbers
thrown on the dice, before any other
man can be moved by that player.
If his throw does not permit the
player to enter his man on account
Of blocked points he loses his throw.
This continues until the man is
finally entered.
When entering, man can be
placed only on a point which ex-
actly corresponds to the number
thrown. For This purpose the points
are numbered on each side of the
board from one to twelve. starting
on the outside edge Of the players
inner tables and going straight
across the board to the outside edge
of the players outer tables. This is
shown clearly in todays illustration.
Il n
IF the points corresponding to
4 both numbers thrown are va
cant, the player may enter on either
playing any man he chooses for the
other number.
If the opponent has a blot in his

and hit the blot at the same time
provided he makes the necessary
throw to do so.
