Janet Gaynor has found the
perfect complement for her unique
abilities in Henry Carat. the Eu-
ropean player who makes his AM

Together, as they unfold step aft
err step of the story, they form
what is by far the most attractive,
most whimsical, most romantic pair

1t is a rare motion picture occa-
sion when story and stars fit SO
beautifully together. Miss Gaynor
again reveals her manifold talent
for the screen in its three princi-
pal departments-acting, singing
and dancing. Carat must certain
ly look to brilliant career on
the American screen. He has all
the makings.
Cast in important roles, Herbert
Mundin and G. Aubrey Smith con-
tribute their highly individual tai

The struggle For the Negro
Wnrkere

The Struggle For the Negro
Workers
Not only has the Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie waged a sustained, determined
and uncompromising struggle
against lynching, segregation and
discrimination, but it has fought
with equal consistency for justice
for the Negro workers.
In 1912 when the discrimination
against colored firemen on the
Southern Railway by a white fire
mems union resulted IN the loss of
good runs and employment. the
Association helped organize the
Negro workers and sent a COM
mittee to confer with officials of
the Southern Railway in Washing
ton, D. c. The company's officials
agreed that no future contracts of
employment would be permitted,
without notifying the Negro fire
men SO that they might be repre-
scented and protected. When the
contract with the white firemen
expired on June 1, 1912, it was not
renewed. The Negro firemen were
reinstated on the good runs and
got back their positions.
During the same year, the Chi
cago Branch waged a fight against
the so-called '.full-crew bill" that,
IL passed, would have deprived lab
colored chair car porters Of their
positions. The branch found that
many state legislators were pledg-
ed to pass the bill in fulfillment of
prediction promises. Through
the Branch's activities the bill fall
ed even to be reported out of COM
mittee.
In November 1918, despite OPP
position of white unions, the Asso-
citation forced the withdrawal of an
order of the Regional Director of
Railroads for the North Western
District advising against employ
ment of Negro workers as switch
men, firemen, hostlers or in any
positions in which they had not
been previously employed.
Wins Fight for Trainmen
In 1919 the Association led the
