CHESTER CITIZENS FIGHT SCHOOL
SEGREGATION

Chester, Pa. Sept, %, CAMP One
thousand irate citizens of Chester's
Negro population have banded together
and organized the Negro Citizens
School league to fight the subtle at
tempts of the local school board to
discriminate against students of color
in the towns school system.
The latest move of the school toard
has brought the entire Negro popula-
ton of the town upon the ears of the
city fathers in protestation against
their attempt to make the senior high
school lily white by ordering that the
present graduating class of the Doug
lass Junior high school remain at that
school and receive their eleventh grade
instruction This move is in direct var
lance with the dictates of the pennsyl-
vania State School Code which states
that discrimination because of color is
illegal.
When interviewed fir the reason for
this latest action the boards chairman
claimed the move to be the results OF
the ever crowed condition at the senior
high school, which necessitated the use
Of a stagger system of classes. This
reason is commended to be a subterfuge
for the removal of all Negro students
from the high school according to the
officers Of the League.
Petitions presenting the signatures
Of the parents of studnets slated to
enter the senior high school have been
sent to the school board as protests
formally entered by the members of
the Negro Citizens School League have
produced no results. The latest devel-
opn1ents in the fight was the appoint
tnent by the school board of another
teacher to complete the staff necess-
airy for eleventh grade instruction.
The appointment of the new teacher
to the Douglas School staff was taken
to mean, Ey the OILlLGl1S DCAAOp1 L4Co5 ~

Ii they continue in office un-
til the new president is elected,
President Grau San Martin and
members of his cabinet would be
barred by the constitution from
serving for the following six
years.
This step was taken to eliminate
fears in American and other cir
cles that the Cuban army plans to
retain President Grau San Martin
as virtual dictator of Cuba for an
indefinite period.
For the first time in many
months, Havana newspapers are
appearing on the streets without
undergoing censorship by govern
ment or military authorities.
President Grau San Martin told
International News Service:
I'VE have pledged the right of
free speech and lawful assembly.

newspapers may print what they

With the business lockout in
definitely postponed by Havana
merchants i norder to help the
government maintain order, the
president also sought to pacify
opposing political factions, ousted
in the overthrow of the De Ces-
pedes government.
While he studied plans submit
ted by his rivals for formation of

emphatically repeated his denials
of unwarranted predictions that
he intended to resign.
These predictions, published in
the United States, were charac-
terized by the President as
propaganda intended to discredit
the Cuban administration"

Idle Miners Awaiting
Frick Company Action

UNIONTOWN, Pa, Sept. 10
G.N.SD.-Two paramount ques-
tions were on the lips of thou
sands of idle miners today as the
Western Pennsylvania bituminous
coal workers holiday" continued
with undiminished force despite
President. Roosevelt's signing Of
the soft coal code.
These questions we're:
what is the Frick Company
going to dO?"
What will the President do
if the Frick Company refuses to
sign the cOde?"
The first query arose as the re-
suit of confusion over the status
of the H. C. Frick Coke Company,
which took no action in the pre-
agreement negotiations at Wash
ington.
Anthony Cavalcante, personal
informant of Gov. Clifford Pinchot
in the bituminous region, said
that definite decision on union
recognition stands between the
men and the end of the strike.
The Frick Company has been
antiunion for 40 years. He said:
"The men aren't going to be
fooled again. They will have to
receive positive assurance as to
hours, wages, and union recOg-
milton. They'll no doubt take
the word of John L. Lewis or
any other mine union official
who sat in the conference"

JURY HEARS STORY OF URSCt EL NDNAPING
Women Never Choose Career of Crime,
Capt. Rhoda Milliken Is Convinced
PoIicewonan Thinks
Personal Reasons
Drive Them to 1t

Through the white washed little
office of Capt. Rhoda Milliken at
the Woman's Bureau pass the
dregs of womankind.
Streetwalkers, shoplifters, even
slayerS of men-for Is years
Rhoda Milliken has seen them
come and go. She has heard
their Sordid Stories-read the true
story behind the tale they fain
would have her believe.
Women Good, She Says
And yet Captain Milliken, the
first of her sex to bear that title
on the Washington police force,
believes in the innate goodness Of
women; even, she says, So-called
bad women.
Says the captain:
"WOmen never select a GRIM
inal career from choice. There
is always personal reason.
Someone to whom they are
attached, either their husband
or their sweetheart, is q crimi-
nal. Or they want something
for someone they love. / have
never known a woman to 90
deliberately into crime for per-
sOnal gain"
Nor does Captain Milliken be-
lieve that women are the in
spiration of criminals. She re-
calls one girl, caught with three
young robbers in a holdup. in
Washington:
"They said she was hard
boiled, but 1 found her a rather
nice kid. While she was with
us none Of us noted any of
this hardbOiled business they
talked about. And the head
of the institution to which she
was sent has since told me
she is a model prisoner.
"She was a typical 'gunman's

with q hero worship complex
somewhat misdirected."

Hutton, Playing N. Y. Stage,
Bets Aimee Will See Him

The stage, which everyone
along Broadway except Aimee be-
lieves Aimee has finally sue
cumbed to with her Capitol
engagement, is responsible for a
good deal of the ill feeling be-
tween the Huttons, Davie said.
With a sob in her voice Aimee
said 1t was "those awful pictures
of you with a bunch of chorus
girls" that hurt her most, accord
ing to Hutton. He added:
"Why, I've never known a
nicer bunch of girls than chorus
girls. They're a sweet a. any
Of the women in the whole
Angelus Temple. Always read
ing and sewing.
"The.J don't approve of smOk-

the Angelus Temple. They
don't call what Aimee's doing
the theater. But say you
can't get up in a theater along
with actors and not be an actor
yourself. 1 hope she has many
souls for hire and does what
any good vaudeville trouper
would do"
In response to Aimee's defense
that the Bible says to go out
Into the hedges and highways"
to preach, Hutton flung a Bible
quotation of his own:
"Come We out from among
them and be yet separate. saith
the Lord"
Hutton explained:
'That means separate from
the world. You can't be =

tor, both"

JOHNSON TURNS
NOW To CODE
FOR STORES
Price-Fixing Is Chief Problem;
R.F. C's New Loan Policy
Is Expected to Help
BY International News Service


With codes of fair competition
proclaimed for the major basic
industries of the Nation, the NRA
was within sight of its original
code goal today.
Approval of the bituminoIs coal
code by President Roosevelt, with
conditions, brought to seven the
list of basic industries now in the
fold and enabled Hugh 8. john
son, NRA Administrator, TO turn
to trade and lesser industries.
Textile Code First
Beginning with the cotton tex
tile code, which has absorbed
many branches of the textile in
dustry, the key industries under
codes include wool textiles, lum-
ber, steel, oil, automobile, and
coal.
Officials of the NRA, confident
that the road to complete Coding
of industry is now down hill,
pointed out that at the beginning
of the campaign three months
ago johnson declared the biggest
task was to bring the key in
dustrieS into the movement.
The master retail code assumed
the spotlight, with johnson an
nouncing he will make an in
tensive effort to bring this prob
lem to a head within a week.
Despite the battle over price
fixing among retailers and be-
tween NRA officials, johnson
hoped to avoid long delay. With
most retail stores working un-
der the temporary presidential
agreement, the NRA administra'
tor holds that all must be
brought under a code to avoid
hardship.
Faces Price Fixing
Not only did johnson confront
the question of price-fixing, but
the ability of small retail estab-
lishments to bear the increased
cost Of the code appeared. Off
cials hold the new loan policy
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, together with excep-
tions planned in the code, will
meet the situation.
Other important codes either
in the NRA mill or expected
soon include: Motion picture in
dustry, boot and shoe manufac-
turing, rubber manufacturing,
silk textiles, motor bus and city
transit industries, and anthracite
coal.
Street car. subway, and local
bus lines are included in a code
approved by Johnson. Action by
President Roosevelt is expected
soon.
A hearing is in progress on
the automobile retail code, a
hearing is set for September %
on an aluminium code, and the
rubber and anthracite codes will
be brought to a hearing soon,
