GEORGIANS ASK
FAIR DEAL IN !.
NRA PROGRAM

ATLANTA, Ga. Especially -
Disturbed by The fear that Ne
groes may be denied the benefits
of the National Recovery Act
through displacement of Negroes
on the one hand or lower scale
on the other. 1900 Atlanta Ne
gloes gathered In mass meeting
this week. pledged their support
TO the Presidents progrom. and
voiced a plea that its advantages
be accol ded to all citizens alike,
Irrespective of race.
Alleging that In some cases
competent and satisfactory Me-
gro workers are beginning to be
displaced by white men as re-
suit of the higher wage scales
provided by the NRA.. they called
attention to the fact that ''in-i
creased unemployment among
Negroes will simply add to the.
number who are to be maintain-
ed In idleness by the taxpayers.
An appeal was made for the sup
port OF all "just and fair-minded
white people" In the effort to
have Negroes included Without
discrimination in the Presidents
new deal.
Mississippi already has given
the nation an example Of bar
barity based on an economic coa-
d ton. When certain railroads
refused to discharge veteran Me-
gro firemen. series of assassin
atoms and attempted murder fui-
loved Negro firhnlen ar.l
cd nom their engine with flares
and then shot down. Others were
stain or seriously wounded In the
engine cabs In wave Of ecoa-
omic vengeance.
II can be assumed that how
ever true the statement that the
living costs OF the Negro justifles
a differential in wages. the thot
is not a pleasant one to blacks
who are forced to live in miser-
able surroundings in order to
live at the lowest scale. This
situation created by MIRA regu
lations beneficient as they are in
intent. Is one that must have the
serious and honest considerations
Of reasonable men of both races.

NEW YORK-If any medals,

Gently gave United States Sena-
tor Huey "Kingfish" Long Of
Louisiana a beating, they will
go to a Negro. The so-called
mystery of Senator Longs black
eve has been solved. What the
white newspapers have carefully
suppressed is the fact that the
Dixie Senator was given good
beating by a colored musician OF
New York City. It was Dallas
Turner, popular pianist. compos-
er and entertainer who hit Huey
in his optic orb. The fight oe-
cured at party given by Gene
Buck, famous white musician and
composer Saturday night, Aug
ust 26 at the swanky Sand Point,
Long Island Night Club. Dallas
Turner was one of the Invited
guests. SO was Senator Long.
The eKingfish'' was well-behaxed
until late in the evening when
1t became evident he was becom-
ing intoxicated. As he became
more intoxicated the Dixie Sena-
tor became more abusive. He
began making himself obnoxious
by Diminishing the bartender with
the remark that he welded a
most awkward shaker. and took
his place. But he soon tired of
the exercise and strolled into
the dining room.
The Sands Point Club employs
colo1ed help. Huey announced
that they managed to control
their domestic servants more
skillfully where he came from
below the Mason-Dixon line. TO
illustrate his point. the Kingfish
summoned the headwaiter.

KHAN THREATENS
NEGRO RESIDENTS
IN Los ANGELES.

Los ANGELES Especially ~
Members of the Klu Klux Khan
or persons representing them
selves as belonging to that body
are continuing their operations
against coloIed residents in the
vicinity of Slausen and Central
Avenue.
The latest attempt to scare
Negro residents from the district
took place Tuesday night when
eighty white men wearing white
coats and masks paraded through
the district with signs warning
colored people to move out. They
carried signs reading. Niger,
bigger. read and run, If you
don't we'll have some fun" Oar
kles stay in your place or we'll
get you" Other signs read
This is a white district, get
CUT" Move before we drive you
cut" and We are xxx. and
know how to handle niggeIs."
Nc violence was attempted but
the paraders halted in front of
each of the colored homes and
shouted their threats. The par
ade Tuesday night is one of ma
ny annoying incidents colored
residents In the district have en-
dured for the past two months.
Often large stones are hurled
through windows of the colored
homes. Police assigned to the
district declare they have been
unable to catch any OF the mis-
creanta hurting lhe stones. Re
emily 81 colored families have
bought homes in the East dis
trict. Several of these homes
are the finest in the district for
merly all white.
The families concerned have
declared their intention of hold
ing their ground and exercising
their rights as American citizens.
Tc this end 1t is said that some
have supplied themselves with
ammunition and fi1earms to pro-
tect themselves In the event they
are molested.

held the Iimelight in our large

pear that We are very strong and

not always as they seem for t
As a well known fact that ON
ranks are dlsheyeIIed, our forces
disrupted and economic and po
iitical mutlny is more pronoune-
ed than solidarity and unity
ALMOST every philosopher Of
the black race tells US that or
ganization Is the salvation OF our
people and each and every critic
agrees that we are not organized.
We have no we'll knit units. no.
perfect coordination Of bodies
and groups, we have no cohesion

The conciavea conventions and
elnblies that we have wllne
ed have been superficial and su
rereIliious. Things were made
to appear what they we've not
and vast numbers have been de-
eeived but now that the gayel
has been packed up. the uni

1T OCCURS TO US that ire

task OF organizing and directing
the great natural forces Of the
black race. We have been prais-
cd and pampered. petled and ca
joEed. We have been luIled into

We have not organized. While
we have applauded the flatteIing

A LIQUID LAXATIVE
BEST FOR CHILDREN
(For three reasons explained belOw)

Mothers are rapidly discover
ing the advantage Of the liquid
form. Thousands of cases OF
ill-health-and half-health-in
children are being cleared-up
by stopping all use of laxa-
tives of adult strength.
Give Them a Chance!
The preparation most
favored for child use is Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs: It is a
fruity syrup with the right
amount of SIENNA for gentle
stimulation of a child's bowels.
It gives the right kind of help.
If the bowels aren't moving
regularly and thoroughly,
don't give any medicine that
drains the system dry. Give a
liquid SIENNA preparation like
California Syrup of Figs. A
little every day, and reduce the

The lucky sutton who married
her was Henry Popham. He was

No striker will admit he's a

FLETCHER ASKS
SECURITY AIDS

Puzzled as to just how to cor
rect the condition without placing
the Federal Government in the
position of virtually guaranteeing
security issues, Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher CD of Florida, chair
man Of the Senate Banking Com
mittee, has expressed the view
that the public should be given
more protection against the flota-
ton of security issues Of a highly
speculative nature.
At present, under the securities
law, the details concerning any
issue which is about to be floated
must be publicized through the
Federal Trade Commission, but
Senator Fletcher suggested he de-
sires to see the public get even
greater protection.
However, he added, 1t Is diff
cult to frame a proper proposal,
since it is not desirable to have
the Government be the guarantor
of an issue.

Did you know a laxative that
works just right for you, can
work havoc with a child?
That the laxative habit can
be contracted at the age of six?
And that the wrong laxa-
tive can give children chronic
constipation before their tenth
birthday?
You wouldn't give your
children a powerful headache
powder! You shouldn't give
them a violent cathartic.
P0re1ts ArOHs0d At Last
Doctors urge the use of a
Iiquid laxative for children;
preferably one with SIENNA. A
liquid laxative can be regu-
lated as to dose. The natural
laxative action of SIENNA does
not weaken the bowels.
Druggists report increasing
sales of liquid laxatives.
