those tricks are known to Mr.. Mas
Sab and, partly due to his exper-
fence and mostly because Of his
enormous business, he is immune
from the tricks practiced on him
IN former years.

that his employees are about equal

men consisting of both black and
white men. Color has never been
a prime reason for either employ
ing a workman or not employing
him. Ability to do the task is all
that Massiah demands, and he de-
mands this one thing from both
black and white. His men are al
ways union men, most of them
sent out to the job from headquar-
tiers. If the percentage of black
isn't large enough he takes the nee
essary steps to make it so. Mr..
Massiah enjoys accommodation pri-
vileges with all railroads of the
country; by that material ordered
by him for use anywhere in the
country car lot, or trainload, is
released to him on arrival at its
destination without the usual red
tape concerning freight charges.
Massiah pays his freight at the
headquarters of the road at regu-
lar periods. This is a privilege en-
joyed by only few building con-
tractors in the country.
Mr.. Massiah received consider
able notice recently in the Philadel-
phia dailies for mis- successful con-
struction of an elliptical dome-a
rare and difficult piec of construc-
tion-on a large church there.
He built the new addition to the
22-story Finance building in the
downtown section of Philadelphia,
and at this time his $3.50, 900 worth
of contracts had been completed.
No big concrete job is let in
Philadelphia without Mr.. Massiah
getting a chance to figure on it.
Sometimes his estimate of thu
cost is not satisfactory and his Of
fer is rejected. but his bids are ac-
cepted enough times each year to-
insure Frederick Massiah neat
income.
Is Dreamer Who Works
Mr.. Massiah can best be describ-
ed as dreamer who worked hard
to make his dream come true
and is still working. He is his own
superintendent and no detail of the
work escapes his inspection.
He has come this far simply be-
cause of the fact that he had will
and made a way.

LONDON, December 30.-Financial
London is keenly interested in the
opening of Congress in the United
States January 3, with a considerable
group believing further imitation is
likely.
In connection with gold buying the
financial editor of the Daily Mail says
he thinks President Roosevelt may ask
Congress for powers to purchase gold
at price above the statutory level or
else seek a few hundred million dol
lars to create a fund for the purpose.
Should this step be taken and the
P. F. c. buy all the gold offered at its
daily dollar price, discrepancy in the
international value of the dollar would
quickly disappear" this editor said.
otherwise it would seem that the
gold-buying policy will have to be
abandoned, as it is completely ineffec-
tive in its present FORM
The Daily Heralds financial editor
holds that forcing imitation on Roose-
welt by Congress would be a good move,
contending that "it would be better to
finance the public works program
through the issue of new money than
TO saddle the country with debt

been unable to borrow sufficient funds
to meet the interest requirements. H. R.
Kurrie, president of the line, added the
observation that it was the railroads S
first default on the bonds after 19 years
OF regular payments.
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson

terminus and another spur up to Mich
