All COIOred Town Petitions Supreme Court
To Prevent COnfiscatiOn By White People

appealed the case on Monday, to the
State Supreme Court.
Mr.. Andrews claims that the rea-
sons for the annexation are:
1. The colored town was succeed
ing.
2. The white town is $500, 900 in
debt and needs new taxpayers.
3. The spectacle of colored town
with its own town officials, police,
store, filling station, school, voting
booths Is not enjoyed by the whites.
One Of the first things done by the
white since they annexed the eolored
folk was to make an effort to col
leet taxes from all eolored people,
which taxes were owed to the colored
town.
Failing in this, the property was
advertised for sale with the eEpecta-
ton that whites would buy it in at
auction figures.
In his plea TO the court, Mr.. An
drews asks that the colored people
be given their town back:
First, because the annexation law
does not authorize white to collect
taxes in arrears, which are not due

make room for workers of another
race. In Harrisburg one of the larg-
est hotels now uses white mattresses
instead of Negro walters, some of
whom had given as much as fifteen
years service.
Department stores in Columbus,
Ohio are reported to have replaced
eolored porters with white, and rail
roads in the North West have taken
off dining and Pullman cars, thus
throwing idle employees on the
streets in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
In Fort Wayne, foremen inform Ne

siderably fewer numbers Of workers.
When management changed in an
automobile agency in Seattle three
Negroes were released, one Of whom
had seen five and one half years
service with the company. The new
manager brought in his crew of
workers, among whom were no Ne
groes.

NEW YORK.-The following bull
letin is released by the National Ur-
ban League through its Department
of Industrial Relations:
The old adage that it is an i'll wind
that blows nobody good is illustrated
by several innovations that have
brought jobs to Negroes as result of
the business depression. The ne
cessity of keeping plants running is
of greater moment than race preJu-
dice and so Negroes have been en-
ployed by telephone companies in
Richmond and Los Angeles to solicit
business among members of their
own race. Also in Los Angeles and
in New York chain store corpora
tions have employed their first Ne
gro workers. In Milwaukee two pub
lie school teachers have gone to work
and two eligible policemen await as
signment.
But these innovations for the white
collar worker, while comforting, are
few compared with the large num-
Der of jobs lost by the laboring
group not because operations were
curtailed or working force cut, but to

Negro Candidate For
Mayor In Kentucky

HARLAN, Ky. - fC.N.S.). = For
the first time in its history this
small Kentucky town, located in
Harlan County, has Negro candi-
date for mayor. He is I. ". Swain,
who filed notice of his candidacy
with the county clerk last Tuesday
just before midnight when the time
for filing intentions of candidacy ex-
PRED. Swain filed his first petition
last Saturday, but this petition was
rendered void when Henry Wilson,
also colored. filed a similar petition
bearing almost the identical list of
endorsing voters as that of Swain.
Swain, however, made thorough
canvas of the colored voters and
was able to secure 20 additional le-
gal signatures before the deadline
Tuesday at midnight.
Harlan is located in the Allie
gheny mountain district in the ex-
IRENE southeastern section of the
state. According to the 1880 census
there were $40 Negroes in the town
out of total population of 1927.
A great increase in the Negro popu-
lation occurred during the last dec
ade, there being only 103 Negroes
out of a population of 2,646 in 1920.

Hungry Marchers' invasion of the
capital which had many colored par
Elephants from st. Louis and Kansas
City and many lesser cities of the
state was staged Monday amid ex-
citing scenes. A committee, which
included two cofored unemployed
men and two women with babies i'm
their arms, was given audience with
Governor Caulfield. w. C. McCui-
stion, self-styled secretary of the
Missouri State Hungry Marchers'
Association, presented the plea of
the delegation.
Governor Caulfield set forth that
the right to march in force. terror
izing towns and cities is not includ-
ed in the right to petition guaran-
teed by the constitution. He said
that Missouri is sympathizing with
the unemployed and that all COM
munities are taking care of citizens
who are in need.

McCuistion was dressed in ragged
coat and new overalls, the price tags
showing.
The governor listened quietly
while McCuistion presented the de-
mands of the demonstrators, which
included unemployment insurance, a
farmers debt moratorium, no evic-
ton for non-payment of rent and
heavy taxes on incomes above $5,-
900 year, and on personal fortunes
of more than 100000.
Caulfield asked several questions
intended to determine the fitness of
McCuistion as a Missouri citizen.

shouted angrily, "that Pm former

that you apologize"
