search out their records. Today, more
than ever we need men In every Of
fee who realize the significance of
their oath of office; men and women
who believe in treating all citizens
right regardless of race. creed or
color. The public may depend ON the
Herald supporting only such candi-
dates. 1t may also depend on the He
raid to show UP such candidates, in
cumbents and aspirants, who cannot
meet this test.
For two reasons, THE LITERARY
DIGEST, for March 4, was highly in
teresting. 1t carries an article on Will
liam Levi Dawson, Tuskegee music di
rector. The subject is not new to
Negro readers. The Aframerican
Press ran long stories concerning
Dawson over one month ago. Another
article in the same issue, Negro Emo
tionalism Passing" is based on re-
cent report by the Institute of Social
and Religious Research. The "other-
worldly highly emotional type Of
preaching" is passing because minis
ters often experience great difficulty
in getting their hearers to shout and
cry amen, claim the authors of the
report who are the Revs. Benjamin
Elijah Mays and Joseph William Mich
olson, both colored ministers.

attention of the rest of the country
the pernicious system in the south,
which excludes Negroes from jury

RULING SOUGHT
ON PAY SCALE

A definite ruling on the pre-
Vailing wage for hod-carriers en-
ployed on public buildings in
Washington will be sought by
the District, it was revealed to-
day by officials.
The question arose some time
ago at hearing on charges that
the Catalano Construction Com
pany, of Baltimore, was paying
workers on school building here
less than the prevailing wage.
The company agreed to pay
the prevailing wage, and was per
mitted to go on with the work.
At the hearing Howard Colvin,
commissioner of conciliation of
the Department of Labor, testi-
fled that the rate generally rec
ognized in this locality was IS
cents per hour. Testimony was
that hod-carriers on the school
job Wer paid 35 cents.
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride will confer with Colvin and
other officials in an effort to get
a definite ruling on the wage
scale,

COTTON PRICES

liquidation. so pronounced in re-
cent sessions, appeared to have
dried up. and as the market ral-
lied many local traders covered
short commitments, adding fuel
to the bullish enthusiasm.
Private estimates of the crop
gave condition figures better than
usual, but the bale figures were
confused by the leasing and
blowing campaign. One source
put the crop at approximately
10.600,000 bales. allowing 10,500,-
900 acres reduction.
Absorption Is Good
An encouraging feature of to-
days market was the remarkable
absorptive powers displayed in
early dealings.
Noon prices were up "a to 26
points. October was up "a at
1896. December up 25 at 1889.
March up 26 at 1892, and July
up 25 at 11.19.

Repeal to Restore
Coast Wine Trade

A revival of CALIFORNIA; wine
and allied industries through the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment would result in an imme-
diate expenditure of $75,0O0,OOO
in the national markets, it is
estimated by the Bank of Amer
ica, Pacific Coast branch banking
institution, in a periodical report
on Far Western business.
National manufacturers of
trucks, tractors, auto parts and
accessories will respond to de-
mands from CALIFORNIA; grape
industry amounting to about $16,-
900, 900; Midwestern manufacture
ers of agricultural implements
will find a market approXimating
$2,0OO,OOO in value; the Western
lumber industry will be called
upon to supply material for
boxes, crates, barrels and build
ing materials totaling more than
$4,000, 900; and an annual $55,-

vintage growers and shippers by

Investors Pledge Billions
For Recovery Bonds

ber Is were offered in payment.
These maturities amount to
more than $900,00O.0 900 at rates Of
4 and IA per cent. The bond is
sue was expected to run from
$500, 10000 to 100000, 900, mark
ing a substantial reduction of
the short term debt of $3,000,.
100000.
No Reduction in Bills
Acheson said that for the pres
ent there would be no attempt to
reduce the volume of outstanding
Treasury 91-day bills. About
1854 100000 are now in the hands
of the banks and other investors.
Acheson explained the bills serve
a useful purpose and because of
their liquidity are highly popular
with the banks.
Should it develop the bills are
attracting money that ordinarily
would move into commercial
channels, it was believed the
Treasury would substitute for
them a substantial amount of
longer-term maturitieS. The de-
mand for short term commercial
credit was said not to be great at
this time.
New Issue Next Month
Another financing operation
was anticipated in September, re-
gardless of whether the bulk of
the certificates maturing then are
retired in the August Is refund
ing. The Government will re-
quire a substantial amount of
new money at that time to pro-
mote the recovery program.
In December, $254,364, 900 in "a

$4,000 in Az per cent certificates
