North Indifferent
To Negro Welfare
7. A. Hill Says
HILL MAKES FRANK ADDRESSES.

Two Twin City audiences heard T..
Arnold Hill speak with pleasing frank
ness on the problems of the Negro in
the economic set-up of America during
his visit here the past few days.
At the Sunday night address at Pill
grim Baptist church the audience wa
large and received his Informative ad
dress with attentive ear DR.. Walter
S. Ryder of Macalaster College pre-
sided.
Addresses Mill City Audience.
Monday night Mr.. Hill addressed a
Minneapolis audience in the audito
rum of the Citizens Aid Building un-
der the auspices of the interracial
committee of the Minneapolis Church
Federation and the Minneapolis Ur-
ban League. Rev. Stephen E. Keller
coadjutor bishop of the Episcopal
church presided. Other speakers in
cluded Rev. Clair Ames, secretary
Minneapolis Church Federation and
Rev. H. P. Dewey, president of the
same organization.
Explains League.
Mr.. Hill explained the purposes Of
the National Urban League and its
branches. Told of the unequal eco
nomic opportunities for Negroes in
various urban communities. He
scored the Twin Cities for their re.
fusal to hire Negroes only in certain
jobs. He cited the fact that many
young Negroes of ability have to leave
Minneapolis and st. Paul before they
can obtain position commensurate
with their ability.
Audience Questions Hill.
Several questions were asked Mr..
Hill at the conclusion of his talk.
When asked if the north had more
race prejudice than the south, he ans
wered in the negative asserting that
northerners were usually Indifferent
rather than prejudiced. "The socalled
Negro problem" said Mr.. Hill, sis not
solely the problem of the Negro but
of the entire citizenry."
Communism is gaining among Ne
groes chiefly because the Negro in
stinctively turns to any person or
group that treats him right. Chicago
NEGROES voted for William Hale
Thompson because he proved his in.
terest and friendship. Negroes turn
toward Communism for the same rea-
son, was the gist of Mr.. Hills reply to
question fired at him concerning
the Negro and the Communists.

MINNEAPOLIS PRIMARIES NEAR
CITIZENS MANIFEST INTEREST.

With city primaries in May DRAWN
near candidates for various city of
fees are swiftly moving into battl
array Moses Winthrop, attorney
we'll known among colored people,
the latest candidate for the mayoral
nomination. Mr.. Winthrop promise
the people a government for the pee
pie, if elected.
Walter Christenen has several az
tive colored supporters who point t,
his record of always giving colores
citizens employment opportunities
He favors five cent streetcar fare, re
duction in taxes, lower gas and cleo
trio rates.
Mayor Anderson filed several day
ago and as yet has made no audibl,
campaign statements. Several color
ed citizens are working for the can
didacy of Ralph Van Lear, son of for
mer mayor Thos. Van Lear, who was
one of the best friends the colored
people ever had in the mayors chair.
Aaron Johanson, is a labor candidate
who is also well known among the
Negro citizens. He favors reduced
telephone, gas and electric rates. Dan
Harding, former investigator is an
other candidate who has announced
for complete organization of the police
department. A. G. cambridge, opera
tor of the Shubert theater, is fairly
popular among colored people who
have resided in Minneapolis for long
period or those who have had contact
with him.
A rumor that Alderman e. j. Gasink
of the Third Ward is contemplating
filing for mayor has been received
with mixed feelings by citizens on the
north side Gasink is not liked by al
least two racial elements in Minneap-
oils, the Jews and the Negroes, ac-
cording to local political observers
The labor element is not partial to
him because of his alleged sympathies
with the public utilities.
Colored voters will take greater in
terest in aldermanic races this cleo
ton than ever before. One organiza.
ton all ready has precinct organiza-
ton in seven of the city wards. In
the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh
tenth and eleventh wards.
There are several aldermen who
many colored people feel are unfriend
ly to their best interests. This ac-
counts for the interest being displayed
at this early date among citizens in
the aldermanic race.

De PRIESTS SLATE
WINS in CHICAGO
ALDERMANIC RCAE

March 3.-The aldermanic election
Of last Tuesday was a further indica-
tion of the extending influence of Con.
gresham Oscar De Priest. William
L. Dawson of the Second ward and the
support of the congressman and was
elected by over 10000 majority. AL
derman-elect Dawson will succeed Al.
derman Louis B. Anderson, who has
spent II years as a member of the
city council and who retired volun-
tarily.
In the Third ward Alderman Robert
R. Jackson was reelected over the
combined forces of various factions to
defeat John Lewis, Democratic lead
err. Jackson was without either jobs
or privileges, but easily outdistanced
his Democratic opponent who had the
support of the Kersey-Trice Republi-
can organization. Alderman Jackson
had the support of Congressman De
Priest, the committeeman of the ward
The vote in the Third ward was
Jackson 1918 and Lewis 4,913, Jack
son carrying 81 precincts and Lewis
16. Edgar G. Brown. who ran against
William L. Dawson in the Second
ward received 2,002 votes as against
1902. The election of William l..
Dawson, for many reasons, was the
high spot in the near South side cleo
ton.
Dawson comes of new school in
political affairs, and his friends believe
that his coming into power will mark
the beginning of new deal in South
side politics. The control of political
affairs of the first congressional dis
trict is now completely in the hands
of friends of the congressman. 1t is
said by many that the election of
Dawson makes impossible the re-elec-
tion of Senator Adelbert H. Roberts.
The program as outlined by those
who are presumed to know is that
William e. King, Second ward COM
mitteeman will be candidate for the
state senate and will name one of the
many young lawyers of his organiza
ton as his successor. Down in the
first senatorial district it is rumored
that Represer tative Harris B. Gaines
will be candidate to succeed Senator
Daniel Sieratella.
This will be rs it should be, since
the district is largely controlled by
Race voters. 1t is said that Commit
teeman King is planning program
that will solidify the factional differ
ences to the end that opposition in the
future will be of little Importance.

Southern born soprano opera singer
Grace Moore, resortino to four day
vaudeville, to keep the wolf from the
door, stipulated in her contract that
no NEGRO act should be booked on the
same bill on which she appeared. Pos
sibe reason: The Mills Bros, play
ina on the same bill with the opera
singer, recently, won an ovation and
Miss Moore received only a polite
hand. Miss Moore failed to show her
color complex in the selection of her
latest husband. He is a swarthy South
American, who it is understood is
very expensive, since the slump of the.
opera market. Opera stars now must
occupy the same boards trod by hoof
ers, ventroIiquists and acrobats.
The Roosevelt cabinet should meet
the approval of even the most partisan
Negroes. Man for man it is as good
in all respects as the Hoover cabinet
The fact that it contains three south
erners in prominent posts should no
prejudice the popular mind asains
President RooseveIt's choices. Cor
dell Hull, SECRETARY of State, halls
from Tennessee and has no anti-Negro
record. Claude Swanson, Virginian
new Secretary of Navy, is also high
class man. Daniel c. Roper, Secretary
of Commerce, is from South Carolina
and was the first receiver of the de
funct National Benefit Life Insurance
Co.
Among the northerners, the Negro
has at least one strong friend, the new
Secretary of the Interior, Harold L
Ickes of Chicago who served as pre-
sident of the Chicago branch of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People for seven
years. James Farley, the Postmaster
General, first came into prominence
several years ago, when he insisted
that Heavyweight Champion Jack
Dempsey fight Harry Wills or no-one
else in New York state.

SESSION
TO PASS LAW
PROPOSED
Convention to Pass on Repeal
May Be Authorized at
Same Time

A special session Of the Vir-
ginia legislature to consider a
moratorium on all forms of in
debtedness existing is being con-
sidered by Virginia officials, it
became known today.
State Senator w. Worth Smith
and Delegate E. B. English have
asked Gov. John Garland Pol
lard to call the special session as
soon as possible. Pollard in re-
turn has pointed out that GER
tain forms of Indebtedness in Vir-
ginia are secured through deeds
of trust, held by the Virginia
courts to be protected by consti-
tutional provisions. He asked that
the two members submit to him
copies of their proposed morator-
iunm that the conStltutionality
of it might be determined.
The data is to be in Pollard's
hands within a short while, it is
said.
In addition to the moratorium
another matter which might be
brought up if the special session
is called is that of authorization
of special convention on pro-
hibition repeal.

SEN. DILL SEEKS
DOOM Of FOUR
Bic BUREAUS
Commerce, Trade, Radio and
Power Groups Targets
Of Economy Plan

A bold plan to abolish four
major bureaus of Government,
outlined by Senator Dill CD OF
washington, was laid today be-
fore the new administration.
Dill proposed that the Inter
state Commerce, Federal Radio,
Trade, and Power Commissions
be dismantled and their func-
tions vested in four directors
responsible to President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
Under the sweeping reorgani-
zation powers recently granted.
the plan could be put into effect
by executive order, subject to a
possible veto by Congress within
go days.
Forced by Opposition.
Belief that the President will
use freely the blanket authority
which Congress granted him to
revamp the crazy-quilt of Gov.
ernment, with its scores of un-
coordinated and overlapp n g
establishments, was expressed by
the Senator.
The Dill proposals faced the Ger
tainty of strenuous opposition
from some of the progressive Re
publican Senators, who have re-
sisted all efforts to curtail the
scope of the four bureaus.
The functions of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, under
Dill's plan, would be delegated to
a director of transportation in
the Commerce Department. He
would have supervision over the
railroads and airplanes, motor
trucks, busses and inland water
way carriers.
In place of the Federal Trade
Commission, director Of natural
resources would be set up in the
Interior Department. He would
administer laws and rules relating
to water-power, coal, gas, oil, for
ests, public lands, and fisheries.
Communications Plan
A director of communications
in the Commerce Department
would absorb the functions of the
Federal Radio Commission and
deal with radio, telephone and
telegraph communication. Dill ex-
planned:
81 would retain the Federal
Tariff Commission, since it is
mainly a factfinding body. 1
believe these consultations
would save perhaps One-haf of
the expense now involved in
regulatory operations by these
four commissions. Widely scat
tered agencies of Government
would be brought into respOnsi.
BILE relationship with the Admin
iStratiOn.

firmed, he could be removed

Senate Ignores Washington
In Beer Discussion

of Texas, author of the Sheppard
Act which brought prohibition to
the District before the enactment
of national legislation, said today
he believed the courts would have
to decide whether beer could be
sold in the District under the ma
tional modification bill.
Bride View Supported
Legislative counsel, who draft
legislation for members of Con-
gress, expressed the opinion that
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride was correct in his recent
ruling that the Sheppard act had
been superseded by the Volstead
act and therefore that with mod
ification of the latter measure,
sale of beer would be legal in the
District.
Mr.. Bride today received a
copy of the bill and is studying
it to determine what its effect
in Washington will be. He is of
the opinion the national bill
would legalize sale of the bev-
erage in Washington, since
passage of a beer bill would be
equivalent to a declaration that
beer is Misunderstanding.
However, he will study the new
bill today with a view to de-
termining just what the local
setup under the provision must
be in order to conform with the
new law.
Mr.. Bride, however, is in favor
