NEGRO SHOT
IN JAIL In
COLD BLOOD
F &C is Point to the
Connivance of the
Sheriff In Shooting

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. A.
Willie Peterson, unemployed Negro
miner and world war veteran who
was framed, in widespread drive
against Negroes here, on the charge
of shooting two society women, was
critically wounded when Dent Will
liams, brother of the women, shot
him in view of city and county Off
Gals.
Peterson received two bullet
wounds in the chest and one in the
arm. The shooting occurred at a
conference of city and county Off
Gals and members of the Williams
family.
Sheriff Hawkins, who was present
when the shooting took place, said
all persons entering the Jail were
searched and gun removed from
Williams. Where williams got the
gun to shoot Peterson the sheriff
would not explain.
Williams was released on a thou
sand dollars bond, and sent home
under a sheriff's guard.
Peterson is now in a serious ,condi-
ton in local hospital under heavy
guard.
Governor Miller ordered out the
National Guard and one hundred
guardsmen have already been mobil-
lied.
The national offices. of the Inter
national Labor Defense upon receipt
of the news of the murderous shoot
ing of Peterson sent the following
telegram to Governor Miller, Mayor
Jones and Sheriff Hawkins, of Bir-
mingham:
an the name of white and Negro
workers we protest the shooting of
Willie Peterson in Birmingham jail
by Dent Williams. Responsibility of
city and county officials is proved
by bringing Williams to the con-
ference and permitting his return
home after the shooting, with a
fake gesture of formal investiga-
ton.
1--WE denounce this wanton shoot
ing as climax to the police bru-
tally and mob violence deliberately
launched by the ruling class
against Negro workers and work
ing class organizations, using the
murder of Nell Williams as an ex-
cuse. Facts in the arrest of Peter
son and also past arrests and at
tempts to extradite Negro workers
in Chicago all prove that this is
another frame-up like Scottsboro
and Camp Hill to murder Negroes,
to collect thousands of dollars and
further terrorize the prosecuted Ne
gro toilers. We point to the lynch
danger and hold the State govern
ment responsible for Peterson's life.
1--WE demand the right of friends
and defense to see Peterson imme-

STEEL MEN
FOR FIGHT
Hear Foster Speak On
Campaign Against
Wage Slashes

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct 1.-Two thou
sand steel workers gathered in an
open demonstration in Indiana Har-
Dor, an important steel center, to
hear William z. Foster, secretary of
the Trade Union Unity League, call
for organization and strike
Many of the workers joined the
Metal Workers Industrial League.
There was an excellent response to
the call to struggle against wage cuts.
MUNISING. Mich, Oct 4. - The
wage-cutting campaign, the Hoover
stagger- system on the steamer "Quen
doc" of the Patterson Steamship Co.
was exposed when it arrived to Mum
Using to unload pulpwood The dock
workers were offered 80 percent be-
low the scale of wages paid to the
workers before. Immediately on
finding out the wage cut the workers
resisted it. Sixty-five walked out.
The workers by walking off the job,
and staying out only three hours,
forced the bosses to pay workers AS
cents. Under the leadership of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union, we
will be able to reach more workers
in the struggle against the wage
cuts and Hoover stagger- system.
YOUNGSTOWN, ohio, Oct. A.
About three hundred workers attend
ed a meeting called by the Metal
Workers Industrial League at the
Campbell Gate of the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Co.
The speaker who spoke on the or
ganiaztion of the steel workers into
the MWIL. was greeted with great
enthusiasm and cheered Justify, when
he exposed the role of the city, state
and national government in helping
the bosses to cut wages.
During the meeting two truckloads
of beds. and cots were brought into
the plant in order to intimidate the
workers, but the effect was the OPP
posite of what the bosses intended
it to be, and as the result many work
erS joined the MWIL.
In the evening at the same gate
the police teld the speakers that
they could not speak there any more,
and thanks TO the police there was
a larger meeting than in the morn

 KITCHEN

 With children at home all day during vacation time, their luncheon presents a new problem. More free dom is permitted than during school days and the lunch hour is not so regular. The temptation to eat between meals is trying, for food is always available.
 The hearty meal comes at the end of the day in most families and the child who comes to the family table is often served foods too rich and heavy to go to bed on. Children need a hearty noon meal. Hours or active play in the fresh air stimu- late the appetite and exhaust en- ergy O that nourishing food is nec- essary.
 But unless special meals are pre-. pared for children, the noon meal is the light one and the evening meal the hearty one eaten with the grown-up members of the family.
 Rules Govern Diet.
 There are certain rules which govern the choice of a child's daily diet and some knowledge of these rules is essential. Every child should have in his diet every day one quart of milk. He should have at least three vegetables, oen of which may be potatoes and one of the others green or raw. He should have two fruits, one preferably raw. He should have one serving of meat, fish or eggs. A While grain cereal, three slices of bread or toast and four glasses of water complete the lists of foods necessary to maintain a balanced diet and provide an adequate number or calories.
 If a child does not like to drink his allotted quart of milk 1t may be used over vegetables, in soups and in desserts.
 All the foods are better served as simply as possible, but care should be taken to make childrens food palatable and attractive.
 Extra Foods at Noon.
 A very easy way to plan childs luncheon menu is to include in 1t those articles of food in his daily food requirement. that are not serv- ed at breakfast or dinner when the entire family are together. If he is given his broiled chop or meat cake at noon, he may have the dinner vegetables provided for the rest of the family.
 Very often the luncheon dessert can be counted as the main dish" for avast amount of nourishment can be put into a pudding. This type of dessert is seldom wanted

ELYSEE PALACE
 UNHAPPY ABODE

Paris.-The great Elysee Palace in. which. the. Presidents. of. the French republic reside. has not brought happiness to the women who have occupied it as the first ladies of the land. Something of the mournful qualities of the great pal ace of Versailles, where there was never happiness, only grandeur, are embedded in the walls of the mas sive building fronting the Rue du Faubourg Saint Honore.
 Perhaps Madam Paul Doumer will break the spell and bring gaiety to the house where little gaiety has been before.
 M. Doumergue. the retired presi- dent, is a bachelor. There has never been an official hostess at the Eiysee during his administration. The vague and scarcely expressed sorrow that clings to the great chambers of the palace was not felt by women dur ing his tenancy. Of all the women who have been hostesses in the pal- ace since the establishment of the Third republic, but two. Madam Deschanel and Madame Miilerand, found the atmosphere congenial and both of them are known to have ex- pressed to their friends the feeling that the palace was too vast and gloomy for comfort.
 Madam Faure. wife of President Felix Faure, was not happy amid the grandeur of the great presi- dental mansion. She and her hus- band had been used to simple bour' geoise surroundings and were meyer comfortable in tho vast pile set aside for the residence of Frnnce's presi- dcnts.

 Sarah was still in her rooms when Sue reached them.
 T was starting after you. You had promised to take drive with me. you know" Sarah reminded her. What in the world has happened! You look a sthough you had tried 10 kick over the Rock of Gibraltar ana it wouldn't budge."
 Lets get in the car and I'll tell you," Sue said. Drive fast, too. l want to let off steam. I have hor- TOT of being near telephones where voices can reach you. want to be away"
 The car was taking a road that led away from the city when Sue spoke. She told Sarah of her encounter with Marion Banning, emitting noth. back as she slowed down the car, and laughed softly.
 "Oh Sue, that was rich! I'm so glad you told her what you thought of her. But you don't think she would really use my name Why. she couldn't! Just because l went out to lunch or dinner a few times with her husband. I did go motoring. too, but nobody knows that. Every one does such things. You know they do. Besides, thought he was single them She stepped on the gas and the car went faster.
 "Sue, I didn't know I was get ting into such a crazy mess. But I shouldn't have called him last night. That's the only move I've made since I learned that he was married. l haven't seen him since Ted told me. Phil cancelled an engagement and was just as glad, although I didn't understand why he cancelled 1t at the time."
 The car flew down the road for a few minutes. Then Sarah spoke. T have an idea, Sue. I'm going to scare that Banning woman right out of her own tricks. I'll pretend that I'm going to seek damages for the things that she has said and the ac- cusation she has made. She'll be glad enough to leave me alone It's just that call last night And l only did it to show your brother that he couldn't influence me-" ''You can pretend that you had just discovered that Phil is married. it's true you had and you wanted to tell him that he needn't call you any more," Sue told Sarah. "Of course that's ancient. It sounds like a 16-year-old Cinderella talking. but you have to put up with a few inconveniences. But what did you want with him last night. Sarah?" Sarah's eyes were puzzled as she looked at Sue. Honestly, Sue, don't know what would have said if he had been at home. was hoping hard that he wouldn't be. just wanted to do something to make Ted angry. He makes me so provoked" "And you make him provoked" Sue said wisely. When two peo- pie make each other as provoked as you two do Why are you turning the car around?"

FAMOUS DIVORCE JUDGE TELLS How To Be Happy Though Married In June! Tolerance Toward Each Other Brings Marital Happnes Tells Both Brides And Husbands

huving a radio, an auto and furni. the walnut dining set almost paid f0r-and a baby buggy later. These people have interests Tn common. They are too constructively busy for thoughts of divorce.
 Ownership of material things, se- cured by sacrifices of both husband and wife, give happiness and a feel- ins of progress. Couples who to getfer create homes in which they take pride usually remain married. m 30 years on the bench. I've never heard of a man trimming a rosebush, then asking a divorce. Women sell dom neglect homes acquireo or equipped by joint effort.
 This ,5O-50 basis should be car- ried into the amusements and other endeavors. It Is wonderiui 1T tne couple can enjoy outdoor sports and baseball games- in common; like the same books, plays, etc. That builds lasting con- panionship. But if the bride insists upon the groom going out to play bridge with her friends, she shouldn't object when the groom in turn wants to entertain his office and business friends at the new home.
 Let both sides remember, too. that losses through bridge or poker are equally tough on the bankroll.
 Establish your own home, rather than live with relatives. Be friend ly with each others relatives. be- cause you'll need them all occasion ally. In your own home, you can bring a little "spat" to definite, and peaceful conclusion. 1
 
 Three-fourths of the troubles of married folks never happen. Lots of the grievances they bring into di- vorce courts are purely imaginary!
 In 30 years on the bench. hearing marital woes, I've learned 2 lot about human nature. And I've found that tolerance and forebearance-not divorce-are needed.
 'These folks don't want divorce; they just think they do," I often say to myself after listening to part of the evidence. Couple by couple. I call them into my chambers to talk it over.
 And find that in most cases, they had no real reason for wanting a divorce; in fact, would be miser- able. Just angry at each other. Dropped some minor little difference, instead of amicably settling 1t. Re- sentiment sprouted. Minor things took on exaggerated importance. I've had hundreds of such couples agree to try 1t all over again, kiss and leave happily together. Why not settle these petty things once and for all at home, without the expense, the heartache and the embarrassment of going into court? Nobody yet has won war. And divorce is just little war that, when 1t is all over, leaves both sides suffering from wounds that never heal.
