fills the weak spot in North's hand, he should not respond with a no trump-the better bid Is a one overcome forcing heart bid. His hand is not particularly adapted to the play of no trump as 1t has no tenace positions.
 In response to the one heart bid. South should jump to two no trump. ,Thisis forcing bid. Nofkh would now be justified in jumping to four no trump. South's best con- structive bid would be five clubs and North would carry the con- tract to six mo trump.
 The Play Vests opening lead. of course, is the queen of spades. A small spade is played from dummy and you will see that East is squeezed. He cannot discard heart or a club. as to do so would make the extra card in that suit good in de- clarer's hand, and this extra card would again squeeze him-there- fore he must let go of diamond. .Declarer now simply refuses to win the trick, playing the six of spades. West will continue with the jack of spades. another small spade Is played from dummy and now West Is. hopelessly squeezed. He must drop his nine of dia- mondS.
 Declarer will win the trick with | the king of spades. and all he has to do now Is to lead the third spade, winning in dummy with the , ace. East Is forced to let go the ten
 of diamonds. This, of course
 makes declarer's four diamonds good.
 At the play of the fourth dia.
 mond by the declarer East is again
 squeezed. He is forced to let go 2 heart or club, either of which gives the declarer the long card in that suit.

KILLING AUTO TAG RE-
LIEVES NEW WORKERS

New York, July 7, (ANP) Has Mayor
John Patrick O'Brien's automobile tax
scheme gone into OBJECT on July LIST, as
originally intended, many Harlemites
would have been forced to forego the
pleasure derived from their automo-
blies. On every hand, the comment re-
garding the proposed tax was most
favorable and even now there is pos
sible chance of rebellion against the
proposed taxi tax, an assessment of
five cents added to the cost of the ride
which the fare must pay and the bridge
toll tax.
Taxi cab drivers are sin ing the
blues now, and with an additional tax
placed on the public, it will force many
to use the subway and elevated who
now prefer to roll on rubber.
The situation is intense and as usual,
colored New Workers were not repre-
scented in the protests before the May
or and the Committee of the whole

VIRGINIA WAGES LOW
EST IN HISTORY

Louisa County, Va, July 7, CAMP
In keeping with the reported policy of
white employers of the south to reduce
wages of Negro workers to a minimum,
labor in Louisa and surrounding coun-
ties reached a new law this week. Farm
hands, working ten hours per day are
the poorest paid of all, receiving fifty
(50) cents Out of this many personally
known by the writer, are forced to
feed as many as fourpersons other than
: themselves bahrd being included in
their hire.
Fer such tasks as army be gainflud
completed by female labor the rate Of
payment is twenty-five (25) cents and
one meal for 10 hours.
! Men employed in logging and labor
at the numerous saw mills in this Sec
ton are reported to be receiving seven
and eight cents per hour and no board
! One instance reported occurring at
Mineral City, Va. indicates the return
of peonage to this state. One white
contractor in charge of county road
mainstenance operates the local COM
missary and pays his colored help with
credit checks, (metal tags bearing a
serial number) which are honered only
at his store. Prices for groceries always
equals and frequently exceeds pay
drawn by the labors.
