Randolph Says
Negro Must
Suffer or Die

Two large audiences greeted
A. Philip Randolph, National Presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters, in his Twin City
addresses at the Halle @. Brown
House in st. Paul, Sunday after
noon, and the Phyllis Wheatley
House in Minneapolis, on Monday
night of the past week. Mr.. Ran
dolph's general theme was that
"The Negro Must Suffer or Die"
Standing Room Only
In each city before the program
got under way, the halls were filled
and only standing room was avail
able for the great number who
came to hear Mr.. Randolph tell of
the struggles and victories won by
his organization, and outlined the
future policies of the Brotherhood.
st. Paul Meeting
Sunday afternoon, at the Halle
Q. Brown House, Mr.. Randolph
spoke on the Value and Signifi-
canoe of the Amended Railway La
Dor Act and the Pension Law.
He also discussed the general
problems of Negro workers in the
present economic crisis.
His entire address conferred
around the point of the necessity
of the Negro developing power
through organization for their eco
nomic liberation. Negroes are not
oppressed solely because they are
black" said he, ''but largely be-
cause they are weak, and they are
weak because they lack organiza-
ton"
Mr.. Frank Boyd, secretary
treasurer and organizer of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
,ters, IA the Twin Cities, presided.
Invocation was given by the Rev.
H. M. Marbley of the Camphor
Memorial Church, which was fol-
lowed by the singing of the Negro
national anthem, led by Mrs. An
nabelle Brown.
Chas. w. Washington, secretary
of the Urban League in the Twin
Cities, was introduced and pointed
out how the struggle of the Pull
man porters through the Brother
hood, was typical of the whole
struggle of the labor movement,
and urged the people to show
greater concern and interest in the
porter's fight.
w. S. Butler also spoke and
called upon the Negroes to give
both their moral and financial sup
port to the Brotherhood, because
of it's valiant fight for the porters.
Mr.. Randolph was introduced by
Nathaniel Evans. He spoke of the
long, hard struggles and sacrifices
the porter's leader had made for
Negro workers.

Harmon Suggests
 Plan To Eliminate Poor Officiating

Boston, Dec 24-U.P.) rev. olutionary plan for elimination of one of footballs greatest sore spots, poor officiating, will be pres ented to the National Association of Coaches and Directors of Ath- letics at their New York meeting this week.
 Dr John A. Harmon, director of athletics at Boston University, said to-day that poor officiating had become one of the greatest sources of controversy during the past few years.
 He said he would recommend to the National Association that all officials be required to specialize in one position, refree, umpire, head linesman or. field judge. Hitherto, Harmon, pointed out, a man might officiate in one capacity one week and the next in another.
 All officials. regardless of their position, should be paid the same fee. as their duties are equally im- portant, Harmon believes. Harmon will recommend that officials be assigned certain definite duties when the ball is near goal line.

HARTFORD VOLLEY BALL TEAM TAKES! STELLAR VICT ORY
fSpecial to The Democrat)

Naugatuck, Dec. 24.-The Nau- gatuck YMCA volley bull team met its first defeat of the season Sat- urday afternoon, being trimmed four out of five games by the Hart ford "Y" V olley ball sextet. The scores were 9-15, 15-5, 15-7, 15-13. 15-12.
 The contest was close through out but the locals did not have as smooth teamwork at Hartford showed. Naugatuck was handi- caped by the absence of two of it's members, James Lutze who injured a tendon Thursday and as conse- uuence was unable to play, and FritS Klambt, ''Y" physical direc- tor, who acted as referee.
 Start and Finish
 The locals ran out the first game 1nantly with Hartford contributing several errors. Hartford came back strong in the second game and had little more trouble in the third. However, in the fourth with Hart ford leading 13-5, Naugatuck spurt- ed to bring the score up to 13-14 in Hartford's favor. It could not quite hold the Hartford team. how ever, and it's rally was futile. A squirt in the fifth game by the To- calls also came too late.
 Alderson, Baker, Wyatt, Abram- son, Valinches, Frank Squires, Jr., Baxter and Durr played for Nau- gatuck.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-24

f Johnny L.awlor, Pranakitis, Joe Joe Joyce, Carl Mistnra and Quil- ter made up the starting lineup for Crosby against White Plains, N. Y., who were 42-23 winners over Cros- by and St Nicholas Tolentine whom Crosby defeated 28-20s on Saturday afternoon. Murphy, Harrison, Koch and Sheehan also saw acting dur ing the two games, Joyce scoring 23 points from the center position. Tomorrow night, they will face some first class opposition that has been trained in the collegiate style of play, quite a bit different from that of the high school type of basketball that the boys have played for four years or less.
 Strong Squad
 Bill Derwin has rounded up a virile Alumni squad including Ike Kern of Colgate, Eddie O'Donnell of Holy Cross, Bill Sweeney of Vil- lanova, Abe Steinman of Pennsyl- vania, Elton Wilmot of Washing ton College and Eddie Ragins of Georgetown as well as Dave Bar tolini, Al Dobkins and Wilbur Dunn who are playing regularly in Wat erhury. The Alumni may have a chance to drill together before the game, possibly this evening. Crosby Freshman and Grammar School All-Stars will put on preliminary game that is expected to furnish a few hoop thrills, while dancing will fololw the main contest, to be off1ciated by John A. Cluney.
 Wilby Game Friday
 Wilby's 1894 hoop squad will also get its annual Alumni test on Fri day night of this week at the Wilby gym in what looks like fine con- test though hardly as thrilling as that one point win the kids came home with from Winsted Saturday night. Chick Kelley Is in charge of the Alumni squad which will start against Pomponio, Saldukas, Stolfi, Frank Darlington and Freddy Sul- livan.
