Since last fall when this new
phrase, THE New Deal" was
coined as a campaign slogan by
the successful Democratic Party,
different individuals and concerns
have been using this slogan TO
further their commercial activi-
ties we find it used by a group
that controls most Of the business
on Hastings Street; we find it in
the advertisements of automobile
dealers, automobile factories, and
credit companies. To our group a
new deal could mean only on e
thing, and that is a greater on
portunity 10 share in the benefits
of our Country. 1t would mean
for those who advertise their
business in Negro locations, to
hire more Negroes in their per-
sonnet staffs; it would mean for
those who rent homes to Negroes
in Negro settlements to create
cleaner, more sanitary, and more
habitable places. To the automo-
bile dealers and concerns, il
would mean to add more Negroes
to their personnel.
The Negro h a contributed
much to the growth Of this coun-
try. When he is employed, hi
buying power is one of the great
est in this country. He has beer
known to spend much more thar
he saves. He has paid high rent:
TO live in congested districts
where tuberculosis an d Other
diseases were prevalent; and be
cause OF the congested living
conditions, his children h v
been denied a chance for full
growth and development. He buy.
in places because of the credit
system, where he pays exceeding
ly higher prices than do people
in other locations. As soon as his
economical status is raised in thc
least, he buys the finest cars tho
market affords. Yet, with all oil
this, he is still the last to be hired

THE CONJURE MAN
By J. E. Mccall
In Opportunity Magazine

An old brown man with snaky eyes
Which scintllate and hypnotize--
Serpent charmer of his race,
With thick red lips, shiny face,
Prayed froAk-coat, stove-pipe hat
Green spectacles, red cravat,
Old umbrella, rusty grip
Filled with roots and herbs to sip
He can cast an evil spell,
Make you sick or make you well
He can make hoodoo charm
To bring good luck and shield from harm;
Can bring your lover back again,
And make your rival writhe in pain
He's master of black art,
And can poison to the heart
Like a cat on stealthy feet,
He comes gliding down the street;
People call him, Doctor Dan
He's the snake-eyed conjure man.

HURLEY TO SPEAK
|NREHALF OF N.R.A.
Former Secretary Of War
Asked by Johnson to Make
Radio Address.

Patrick j. Hurley, Secretary Of War in
the Hoover administration, is scheduled
to speak for the N. r. A. over a radio
hook-up on September q.
Mr. Hurley is the first member of the
Hoover cabinet to step out in speech
for the Roosevelt recovery program.
However, with former President Hoover
himself having an N. r. A. consumers
sign on his home in Palo Alto, it is
not particularly surprising The fact
of the matter is that the Republicans
have for the most part decided to go
along with this recovery drive. There
have been a few exceptions, lie Sena-
tors Hatfield of West Virginia and
Schall of Minnesota, who have de-
nounced the N. r. A. On the other
hand, Senator Capper of Kansas end
other Republican leaders have spoken
we'll Of the N. r. A.
Mr. Hurley was asked to make radio
talk by Gen. Hugh S. johnson. ad-
ministrator of the N. r. A. Gen. John
son is a friend of long standing of
War, appearing before the Ways and
Means Committee of the House in June,
1882, strongly advocated some of the
very things which the N. R. A. is now
seeking to bring about.
The fact that the N R. A. has asked
Mr. Hurley. who is strongly identified
with the G. o. P and the Hoover ad-
ministration, to get into the campaign
to put across the recovery program was
interpreted here today as showing the
N. R. A. high command is doing all in
its power to line up the whole country,
irrespective of party politics. Mr. Hur-
Icy was during the last presidential
campaign one of the most severe critics
of the Democrats and their candidate
for President, Mr. Roosevelt

Nothing Ever Failed That

Child labor has been abolished in
one fell swoop.

Senator Robert F. Wagner Democrat,

tional industrial recovery act and led
the administrators fight for the pas
sage of that legislation, thus meets the
arguments of the defeatists that this
great experiment in government con-
troll of agriculture and industry Is
doomed
Three Problems Cited.
Senator Wagner has been watching
from the inside the operations of the
law which bears his name. He is
serving now as chairman of the labor
board of the N. r. A. and, as such, has
settled Is labor disputes ranging from
threatened street car strike in Cleve-
land to workers in all the shipyards
along the Atlantic coast.
Three things being pointed to by
those who believe the N. r. A. will
prove failure were called to Senator
Wagner's attention:
l. The complaints of Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace that increases in
prices for farm commodities are not
keeping pace with the increases in
manufactured products.
2. The recent sag in production of
base commodities such as steel ingots.
and 10 per cent decline in automotive
output.
g. The public demand of William
Green. president of the American Fed
grafton of Labor for revival of purpose
toward creation of employment and
the raising of purchasing power"
Senator Wagner agreed that the
disparity in prices between farm and
commodity price levels must be cor
rected. and is confident that persons
guilty of profiteering will be proceeded
against He believes that occasional
lags in industry are inevitable. that the
rise cannot be steadily upward. and
that the demand for increased EMPLOY

The public works program which was

lieves this Federal construction will
prove a boon to private industry by
creating demands for all sorts of COM

of his party. Senator Wagner believes
that in the present emergency the best
way to bring about industrial prosperity
is to build up Americas own industries.

R|TCH|E TO CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
LEGISLATORS Convene About
November | for Liquor,
Loan Action.
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star


ANNAPOLIS, Md. September IA
Maryland'S General Assembly will con-
vene in special session on or before No
vember l to enact legislation governing
the handling of liquor and public works
loans, Gov. Richie announced today
At the same time the Governor said
he would make a thorough personal
study of the liquor problem in the in
tervening weeks and submit definite
recommendations when the Legislature
ConveneS.
Gov Richie said he did not believe
the task of framing sensible and sat-
lsfactory method of handling the sale
of liquor could be accomplished best by
the appointment of commission.
Instead. he declared he has an open
mind on the . ject and will listen to
the suggestions of vets drys. beer and
liquor dealers and civic leaders before
making any recommendations to the
Legislature.
He will also be assisted by studies
Of the liquor statutes now on the books
being made by the attorney generals
Office.
The most important problem con-
fronting the State in connection with
to the Governor, is whether there shall
be a distinction in the licensing of per-
sons and places dispensing only beer.
Another question will be that of a
State tax on liquors. Still another con-
trcversial point will be whether liquor
may be sold by private enterprises or
State-operated dispensaries. and whe-
ther sale will be permitted for con-
sumption on the premises.
out solution to these problems be-
tween now and November l, the Gov
ernor believes. By converting on or
about that date the Assembly will have
sufficient time to enact State legislation
before the sale of hard liquor is per-
rlitted by law. The earliest possible
Date of the repeal OF the prohibition
amendment can be accomplished is
