ever. before more than 10000 coolies
had been shipped to Hoover's mines
at a tremendous profit to this TWEEN
tieth century slave-driver.
Between the years when Hoover
left South Africa, and the time of the
world war, there is no record of any
outstanding JimCrow or anti-Negro
action on his part. The reason is
simple; Hoover was not at any time
during these years in contact with
Negro or colonial toilers. His chief
activity during this period consisted
Of selling, in England and in Europe,
worthless stocks, and piling up i'm
mense profits for himself and the
companies he represented.
But almost Immediately upon his
return to the United States, Hoover
was responsible for two actions which
endeared him to the Negro-hating
bosses Of Amecira, and had not a
little to do with his elevation to the
presidential chair. These activities
were his work as Chairman of the
Special Commission on Mississippi
Flood Relief and his thefts in Liberia
for the benefit of Harvey Firestone.

COMMUNIST CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR HITS Jim CROW PRAC-
TICES OF SOCIALIST PARTY

New York, (CNA)) William L. Pat
terson, Negro leader and Communist
candidate for Mayor of New York
City, last week charged the Socialist
Party with b~etraying the struggles
Of the Negro workers and with having
a consistent policy of Jim-Crowism.
Patterson's statement was called
forth by a recent incident at the Ho-
tel Claridge, where the Socialist pa
per, The Jewish Daily Forward, owns
a radio station, w. E-V-D. Negro
entertainers trying to reach this sta
ton were refused the use of the pas
senger elevator. The Forward tri-
ed to explain that "the Negroes EAR
ried very bulky Instruments"
"This explanation is a patent lie"
said Patterson. "Mr. George May
nard director Of the station, was also
ordered to cancel several Negro pro-
grams.
"The Socialist Party as yet has Of
fered no satisfactory explanation of
its withdrawal of Frank Crosswaithe,
Negro, as its candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor Of New York state. In
its city election platform, not a word
is mentioned.

MR.. JASPER COLE SECURES
RACE EMPLOYMENT AT
BUEHLER BROS. MARKET

After nursing an idea for years
that all business places especially
where my race contribute largely to
their support, should employ some
members Of the race. Talking to
several ace leaders and Buehler Bros
who operates a chain of markets in
the city, with one in the Race district.
at oath and Lake Sts., I first opened
an account with them and watched the
Race people go and come. Finally |
asked the manager, at that time, Mr..
Poindexter, about what per cent Of
his business was colored. He told
me about so per cent. He being the
local manager, / took it up with him
about colord help, which he didn't take
kindly to, so I didn't get very far.
In a short while the present manag-
er, Mr.. Frank Rogers was named in
his place. l went over the matter
with him. He readily agreed that he
in turn would take the matter up with
the district manager, Mr.. Harry In
gram. After a few days, he report
ed to me that he could not do any,
Immediately | closed my account and
told my friend Mr.. Rogers that I did
not blame him as l thought he was
0 X, to to remind Mr.. Ingram that I
was going to knife him, as we needed
places where we could make some
money rather than spend it. A few
months ago Mr.. Fred Kleiber was
named district manager, succeeding
Mr.. Ingram. Nh. Rogers, a wonder
full little man, placed the matter be-
fore him. Whereupon, they called
me in and told me that they were
ready to consider my proposition, and
asked for suggestions I gave my O.
plnion that we should have a butcher
employed, but as at present only 2
are employed, they gave my second
request, a job for a school boy, Satur-
day and afternoons, with the promise
more consideration in the future.
including regular employment for 2
race people. Too much credit cannot
be given Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Kleiber
Ter their fair minded stand for the
race.

The pastor and family were very
much surprised Thursday evening
when a good crowd Of the members
OF Pilgrim which make up the Pas

ing with arms full Of food stuff to
be left at the parsonage. This show
er was very much appreciated and
surprises like these are always well
come. This club has done some
