Misery Reveals Kinship

The kidnapping of the Lindbergh
baby has very cruelty revealed the
kinship between the high and the
low. Misery, suffering, agony and
grief strike the rich, the poor, the
high, the mighty and the helpless. In
the course of human existence ad-
versity strikes all. Lindbergh, the
most famous man in the world, who
has achieved fame, glory and riches
has been brought face to face with
the lesson that all mankind must
earn and that is that we are all
brothers and akin. The Divinity
sorces us to realize this kinship.
Lindbergh moved away from the
city in order that he might not be
pestered by the admiring public. 1t
is stated that he will give up his
abode and move back into the hustle
and hustle of life. He is now appeal
1g to those miserable creatures in
the half world, the underworld and
cfevices of life for aid. They are
doing all that they can. The heart
of the world now goes out to Lindy
md now nodoubt the heart of Indy
goes out to the world. Strange that
ate and circumstances of life resort
to such harsh methods in teaching
owe and brotherhood. 1t is hoped
hat the most lowly parents on earth
will now be protected from kidnap-
)ers and this crime will be taken
more seriously. We are all human
md feel the same hurt and grief.

Pullman Porters
Contract Illegal

CONTINUED from Page u
Pullman Company Agreement with
the Porters and Maids effective June
1, 1929. on the one hand and the
matter of wages on the other.
I'VE find on inquiry that a con-
tract was entered into on February
2, 1882. covering the matter of
wages. Signers of that contract were
apparently authorized representa-
tives of the Pullman Company and
its Porters and Maids.
Very truly yours,
"(Signed) George A. Cook,
Board of Mediation"
Mr.. Totten says that on June |, ,
1929, the Pullman Company signed
an agreement with its porters and
maids under its plan of employee
representation on rules governing
working conditions and which did
not include wages.
Rule ii of this agreement reads
that this agreement shall supersede
all rules and practices in conflict
with it and Rule (a) that this
agreement shall remain in effect
until either party signatory to ii
shall give to the other written notice
of its desire to terminate same,
whereupon this agreement shall ter
inmate sixty days after the giving of
such written notice. Totten states.
Totten contends that the Pullman
Company in its own admission stated
that it had no agreement with its
porters and maids governing wages
and therefore did not have to call
any conference before cutting the
wages of its porters and maids.
The wages of Pullman porters and
maids were cut without their knowl
/ edge or consent, Totten charges ano
have requested the United State:
Mediation Board to secure cory OF
the contract in order to determine
the authority of the alleged repre-
sentatiyes or who signed such a con
tract without their knowledge Of
consent.
According to Totten any contract
ual agreement with the Pullman
Company and its porters and maid
must be made as a result of a pri
mary election held in the sixty-si,
districts and agencies.
The name of each porter or mait
receiving the highest number 0
votes must appear in each givel
district must be placed on the fina
ballot and the porters receiving tn
highest number of votes over 81 pc
cent are the duly elected representa-
tives of the porters and maids al
over the country.
In view of the fact that the por
ters and maids did not elect or au
thorize any of its group to enter int
any negotiations with the Pullma
Company on wages, Totten contend
hat the contract is Illegal and call
upon the Pullman Company throug
the United States Mediation Boar
; to present il to the public.

is often referred to as a walking
encyclopedia of anatomical science.
According to investigation, the To-
cal clergy is greatly incensed over
the performance of the ceremony in
a dance hall. Many ministers de-
nounced the wedding as a violation
of the ministerial code.
The Rev. Timothy Boddie, pastor
of the Union Baptist Church, said
that If the parties were unconverted
and the officiating minister had lost
fellowship with his fellow clergy
men, he was within his bounds, but
IL he as an ordained minister func-
tioning within the church he should
not have performed the ceremony.
The Rev. John T. Colbert, pastor
of Grace Presbyterian church, brand
ed the marriage as sacriligious and
added that such ceremonies should
not be commercialized because it
cheapens the sanctity of marriage.
The Rev. w. II. Young, pastor of
First Baptist Church, denounced the
procedure.

Nothing For Us

The Republicans are talking about
Hoover for president and the DEM
ocrats are talking about Garner. Mel
Their have very much to offer the
colored people. Neither have shown
any concrete interest in us and there
is nothing in their public or private
careers upon which we can predict
hope for a square deal. In fact,
it does not appear that we are being
given much serious thought. We just
don't fit into the schemes of the
present parties. We have played our
cards wrong. We have caused the
big parties to discount us. Poor
leadership has PLAYED an important
part in this condition and we must
look to new leadership and change
in our relations with these major
parties if not we are in for very
rough sailing.

More Shocks To Come

If impartial scientists and investi,
gators keep on digging into the past
the Nordics and other haters of the
Negro will have nowhere to go. More
and more things of which the white
world is proud, or fond. are being at
tributed to a Negro origin. The
world is gradually being disillusioned
of its fancy that everything beauti
full and romantic was originated BY
white people. 1t was a shock tc
learn that everyone who uses the
sacred word "Amen" at the end of
a PRAYER is calling upon the Negro
God, and more shocks are due to
come.
For centuries white children have
been brought IN on fairy stories
with the notion that a fairy is a
beautiful white creature. Now a
white man, George H. Cameron, an
official of the South African Church
states his belief that the original
fairies were the black, stunted Bush.
men of South Africa. He even says
that the Bushmen once occupied the
whole coast of Europe, including
Great Britain, but were gradually
forced southwark by stronger anC
ruder races.
If this sort of thing keeps up We
may hear some day that the origina
Nordics were Negroes: that climati
conditions pinched their noses. an
bleached their skins and froze thei'
hair straight. This may sound alb
surd, but once it was deemed absurd
to say that the earth is round.

This change in mental attitude
among the colored people has come
about primarily because of the ex-
listing economic conditions. The old
law of the survival of the fittest is
operating with renewed vigor. By
force of sheer necessity of the color
ed people have been compelled to
think and it is our opinion that they
will keep on thinking. Adversely
brings out the fine points in society.
1t blasts illusions, banished dogmas
and questions the tenents of the
past. Just as heat tempers steel
just so does adversely temper and
refine men.
We are virtually thrown upon our
resources, The guardian angels of
the past have been destroyed in the
collapse of the stock market. AL
most every man must stand upon his
own mettle. The colored man has
been driven to this point of view.
He has been forced to think. And he
will keep on thinking. He will keep
on bordering. He will eventually
strike the correct mental attitude
and the sooner he does it the better
for himself and the world.

An Economic Burden

The Literary Digest" is now il
the midst of an attempt-whlch ever
now has proved successful-to show
the Federal Government that the PEG.
pie, whose voice is supposed to be
the ruling force, have become thor
oughly nauseated by the annual sac
rifice of forty millions of dollars to
the myth of Prohibition.
Forty millions of dollars, and
more, are figuratively piled in the
alleys and streets and byways of
cities and towns, the country over,
and burned into nothingness each
year, while millions of people go hun
CRY and the Government talks of
deficits.
This useless sacrifice of money
has had its direct effect upon the
people, whether wet or dry. No one
can escape the paralyzing effect in
the last analysis, for whenever the
Federal Government is short of mon
ey, some one has to supply it and
that some one can only be the people
of the country.
The drainage of forty millions of
dollars from the United States treas
ury each year has resulted in viz
tual taxmania at Washington. Near
ly every article now used by the al
ready financially depressed citizen
is taxed by the Federal Government.
There will always be some taxes.
The system of taxation constitutes
the source of sustenance of govern
ments, but to tax the people to a
point of its becoming burden and
then throw this money away in
channels which bring no results is
very little short of tyranny.
To rid it of its sentiments, to dis
regard all of the lives carelessly
snuffed out yearly, as we'll as its de-
moralizing effect upon the country's
youth, prohibition has become plain
ly an economic burden. an item in
the governmental routine of the
country which contributes directly to-
national poverty.
1t is a matter of course, for the
people of the United States to deal
with. If they want prohibition, it
will remain; if not, there are certain
very definite ways, set down in the
Constitution, by which they may
modify or get rid of it: but whatever
they do, at present, the fact is al
together irrefutable that prohibition
costs the Federal Government - and
hence the people - too much money.
