gossip names Nancy Cunard, daugh-
ter of the late steamship magnate as
the other woman in the case. Robe
son is now in New York City where
he is one of the stars of Zeigfield's

fact that Miss Cunard left for New

is a frequent visitor to Harlem sup
posedly to gather material for her
book ON Color Metropolitan dali
les made much ado over the fact
rushing to print with lot of i'm
plications in which Robeson's name
was used. Robson threatened to
sue several of the publications for
associating his name with that of
Miss Cunard. This Mrs. Robson has
now done. The Robeson's maintain a
palatial home here and they have
one child. Robson is said to earn
100000 a year as actor and singer.

Negroes In lS3 Different Lines OF Business

there are known to be more In the
country. Funds of 40 benevolent so
cieties and a score of burial aid as
sociations constitute other sources
of financial support.
Better training in merchandising
is coming through the employment
of sales people by white chain store
arrangements, independent mer-
chants and public utilities for serv-
Ice in neighborhoods where the Ne
gro population predominates.
This practice has been reported
as prevailing in AZ different cities
and is not confined to any particu-
lar part of the country. Chicago,
however, leads with more than 400
Negro clerks employed in about 400
various white places of business.
Durham, N c., with due regard to
population ratio, ranks next. Detroit,
Cleveland and Indianapolis exhibit
some examples of the practice.
There are listed some Psi local

IL. D. Demands Release
OF Two Scottsboro Boys

SCOTTSBORO, Ala.--The Inter-
national Labor Defense Is making a
special demand for the release of
two of the Scottsboro boys on bail,
namely, Roy Wright and Eugene
williams, who have no legal conyic-
ton againts them.
Fourteen-year-old Roy Wright has
never been convicted, because of a
mistrial on April 8. 1881, but he has
ever since been confined in the coun-
ty jail at Birmingham. Eugene
Williams, who was originally SEN
fenced to die. was shown in the
hearings before the Alabama SUI
preme Court to have been only tbir-
teen at the time of his arrest, and
his conviction, therefore, was re-
versed on March "a, last. He is still
however, kept in the death cell in
Kilby Prison, in Montgomery.

DePriest Urges
Furlough For
Postal Workers

CHICAGO advise Negro pos
tai workers and their friends to
hope for and work toward legisla-
ton giving government employees a
30-day furlough without pay rather
than 10 per cent cut in wages
Congressman Oscar De Priest said
Saturday night in a speech deliv-
cred at Poro College before mem
bers of the National Postal Alliance
and their guests.
The occasion was banquet given
by the Alliance in honor of the
delegates and visitors to the Repub-
lican national convention as well as
to Roy o. Without of st. Louis, ma
tional president of the organization.
"It is certain that Congress will
be compelled to make a reduction
in governmental wages" Mr.. De
Priest said. ct will be necessary in
order to balance the budget and
because the government is running
heavily In debt. III am enforced fur
Tough Is accepted, 1t can be lifted
whenever times are better by an
executive order of the president. If
pay cut is made Congressional ac-
ton will be required to restore 1t
and years might ensue before it was
made"
Mr.. Without, in an interesting and
effective address, told of the i'm
portance in the economic life of the
race of Negroes who worked in the
| Federal service.
There are" Mr.. Without said,
'31, 900 Negro employees in the pos
tai service, among the Americans so
employed. Although they represent
only 32 per cent of the 10000 Me-
groes in governmental service, they
draw nearly 55 per cent of the pay.
There are 400 of these in rail
way mail service, $4,000 are EN-
ployed in postoffices and allied
work. In Chicago alone there are
$500 postal workers out of the d, :
900 employed here. These 800
draw 100000 900 year in salaries,
more than any other class of racial
workers in the country

California Court
Decides Property
Restriction Void

SAN FRANCISCO. - (Special) -
Another nail was driven into the
coffin of segregation in this state
by a decision Tuesday of the Dis
trict Court of Appeals.
The case was that of Carey and
Lily b. Smith and J. b. Otherwise,
plaintiffs, versus Joe Poulous and
pertained to the selling Of parcel
of land in the so-ealled restricted
district included in the area from
Adams to Washington and from
Western to Two blocks west Of Ar
lington.
This case originally was tried be-
fore Judge Samuel r. Blake in the
superior court Of Los Angeles March
4, 1929 AT that time a decision was
given in favor of the defendant,
whereupon Plaintiff Otherwise APP
pealed, sending the case TO TIE
supreme court Of the state. The su-
preme court in turn referred it to
the appellate court, where it was
first argued last May 0.
II was at this time that Attorney
Macbeth came into the case, appear
ing for the plaintiffs. After much
bitter argument on both sides the
final decision was rendered Tues
day when the court took occasion
to state in emphatic terms that it
is not the policy nor the intention Of
the state of California to uphold
restriction and segregation laws and
covenants concerning property chat
is not already encumbered. The sig
nifieanee Of this case plainly is that
any future cases of similar nature
that may arise will be decided
against anyone who would seek to
put in force or keep in force such
un-Ameriean principles that would
deprive Negro owners or occupants
the use of and access to property
which they are legally entitled.
