BRONX WORKERS
HIT JIM CROWISM
Will Teach Restaurant
Keeper a Lesson

NEW YORK.-Effective mass ac-
ton against the vicious jim crow
practices of a Bronx restaurant keep
er was decided upon last night at the
first meeting of a newly organized
Tenants League held at 1922 Bath
gate Ave, and embracing the houses
on the Third Avenue Block betwe
Hist st. and Claremont Ave. These
houses are occupied by Negro and
white tenants, Seventy-five worker
tenants were at the meeting, among
them 20 Negro workers.
The meeting showed the greatest
determination for struggle as worker
after worker told of the miserable
conditions in the houses, the rent dis
elimination against the Negro work
ers, the high prices for food, mass
unemployment, wage cuts and other
ills of the decaying capitalist system.
One of the Negro workers told of a
restaurant keeper, who, determined to
discourage Negro workers from de-
handing service in his place, adopts
the practice Of breaking the dishes
they have used before their faces.
The workers, indignant at this insult
to the Negro workers, unanimously
decided they would go in body, Ne
gro and white, to this restaurant,
and force him to break all the dishes
if he tries his stunt of breaking those
used by the Negro workers.
They also decided to demonstrate
their protest against this jim crow
tactic by leaving the restaurant in
body and refusing to pay a damn
cent to this bourgeois white chau-
whist.
The members of the League have
already done good work, in cooper
ating with the Unemployed Council
in resisting the eviction of Negro and
white workers in their section. Last
Thursday while picketing one house
to prevent the eviction of a white
worker, hey noiced he furniur of a
Negro worker across he street. They
Immediately, with the Unemployed
Council, went through the house,
arousing the tenants to the danger
of permitting that eviction to be sue
cessful, and organized the tenants to
help put back the furniture and de-
fend the Negro worker against evic-
ton:

Annual Rush
 of Packages
Post Office Awaits Yearly Drive for Folks
 Overseas

Postal officials are anticipating the annual rush in the very near future of things for the old folks at home." Each year bulky pack ages go through the. mails across the sea. Hundreds of these pack ages go through the mails each year.
 The sending of clothes across is an all year round custom. Clerks questioned state that it is very common to see dozen or so packages every few days ap- parently packed with clothes sent out with foreign addresses on them.
 In two or three weeks, another feature of the post office will have the spotlight. That is the sending of money to European countries by Waterburians.-
 The amounts range from a few dollars to good-sized sums. In many cases they are sent to rela- tives as Christmas presents.
 This rush of money orders makes a goodly sum during the Christmas season, it was stated.

Jose Iturbi Has
 Unusual Energy
Pianist Who Plays in City Dec 5 Never Wastes
 a Second

Jose Iturbi has a vitality that is sometimes devastating to his inti- mates. It is difficult to keep up with him, and his entourage would be wrecks were 1t not that, for tunately, a pianist has to practise many hours each day. His energy is literally galvanazing. Short of stature, black eyes and black hair ed, round headed, he snaps, sparkles and plays all the time. When he isn't playing the piano he is playing with ideas. Some of them are sound, some of them might make the judicious grieve. But even those are worth quarrel ling about. He wants to be doing something every split second. He craves ac- tion, speed. In Europe, he prefers to make his jumps from town to town by motor car, himself at the wheel, frequently beating train time.
 His enthusiasm for these United States is neither affectation, nor an expression of the present European hankering for ''le chic Americian." '" nor politeness to catch the ears of American chauvinism, nor grati- tude for the dollars which have been flung at him.
 When someone suggested that jazz was played out. that everyone was desperately tired of four-four time, that the Rhapsody in Blue had and would have no successor. he objected politely but vehement ly. Our jazz, to him, is still the only new and really vital thing in modern music.
 Iturbi speaks fluent, idiomatic French with a nice feeling for the witty phrase and none of the bar agouinage from which. the French say, no Spaniard can ever debar- ress himself.
 After a recital he loves to sit up all night. No, that phrase is quite inaccurate. He likes to play all night. If other pianists are present he will joyously engage in a four or, if there are two pianos, eight handed impromptu concert. With Horowitz and Gieseking and one other he so employed his hours of rest until daylight on occasions. Failing that, he will dance, drink champagne, or shoot craps with anybody. If there Is no such diver sion of that kind toward, he will drag parties on a tour of the Har- lem points, where the gaiety and rhythms of the colored brother fascinate him untiringly.
