A. Philip Randolph is still car
rying the fight to the enemy and
incidentally is testing the sincerity
of some so-called friends.
At the 54th annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
held recently in San Francisco,
Randolph introduced resolutions
calling upon the convention to
proclaim to the world its absolute
and unequivocal condemnation of
lynch and mob law and call upon
Congress and President Roosevelt
to enact and execute the Costigan-
Wagner Anti-Lynch Bill with a
view to wiping out this shameful
blot of barbarism from American

Blind Man Carries On" With
Smile Despite Handicaps

Before that time he had covered hun
dreds of blocks on foot accompanied
by his trusty cane and an assistant.
Too Much Credit!
In an interview with Herald re-
porter last week, Mr.. Wiley while
optimistic, told of some of the diff
culties with which he is faced. Many
of the customers to whom he extends
credit do not understand Mr.. Wiley
says, that he must pay cash for all
of his newspapers and toilet articles
and that when his credit customers
fail to pay him promptly, he is seri-
ously embarrassed. Our reporter also
learned from Mr.. Wiley that there are
people who will cheat, even man
handicapped by blindness, out of
money due him.
The remarkable thing about Mr..
Wiley is his constant spirit of opti-
mism. Always with smile does he
greet the public. His attitude toward
life and his industry should be liv-
ing example of how people who have
all their faculties, should go through
life. r.. ,......-.

EARNS INDEPENDENT

The world admires man who won't

Wiley, 5113 France Ave. S., more IA
miliarly known as the "Blind Sales
man." For about IL years Mr.. Wiley,
totally blind, has carried on a sales
business earning an independent liv-
ing for himself and wife.
Earns Living AS Salesman
For years Mr.. Wiley, native Min
nesotan, was employed by the Pull
man Company. Some years ago after
severe illness he lost his eyesight.
Did he sit down and NOPE? He did
not! He looked around for some
method of earning living and soon
he was on the streets selling toilet
preparations and Negro periodicals.
Before the depression he built his
business up until he was able to pur-
chase a small secondhand auto in
which he covered St. Paul and Mime
apolis weekly servicing his customers.

Woman Carries On
Private War With
Service Com any

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 10. U.P)-
A new worlds record for long dis
tance post hole sitting, or something
of the sort, was in the making here
today as Mrs. Elsie Barnebie enter
ed the third day of her private war
with the Public Service corporation.
Mrs. Barnebie, 81, South Camden,
never liked the appearance of the
electric light pole in her front yard.
She protested loudly to the powers
that-be. The pole was there before
she was and they turned a deaf
ear.
Monday, the corporation commit
ted the first tactical error in the
feud. The pole was condemned and
removed for replacement. They fail
ed to reckon with the Barnebie re-
sourcefulness, and when the line
crew returned with a new pole, it
found Mrs. Barnebie sitting on the
ground with her legs in the hole.
Calls to officials brought orders
to stand by. Mrs. Barnebie's hus
band substitutes for her from time
to time and brings her meals, and
allows her to go into the house for
sleep.
She says she'll stay there with
a fire all winter II the company
does not relent.

SPARTANS ARE
WORKING FOR
FRIDAY GANE:

A championship team at Central
this year? If the size of the squad
means anything the Spartans will
undoubtedly bring the coveted pen.
nant back to Central in 1884.
Eighty-th candidates are now
practicing under the tuUorship of
w. S. Taylor, the newly appointed
high school mentor.
However, only six of these 83 are
regulars from last years squad.
Around these six, Coach Taylor
hopes to build winning aggrega-
ton. The returning lettermen are
Rudy Furbass, guard Dillbeck and
Edgar, tackles; Bert Gibson, end;
Frank Lambeth, quarter; and Pat
Bush, who has been shifted from the
line to the backfield.
The first scrimmage of the week
was held last night bringing to
light several weaknesses both in of
fensive and defensive play. Block
ing was the outstanding weakness in
offensive play, the boys often miss
ing blocks enabling the defense to
smear many plays. Coach Taylor
will particularly stress blocking in
the remaining workouts prior to the
La Jolla game this Friday night.
Lambeth proved to be a tower of
strength on the defense in last
nights scrimmage and showed up
we'll as a ball carrier. Fox and Wag
ner also showed promise as ball car
riers and Bush was exceedingly
strong as blocking back.
Taylor is somewhat doubtful rs to
the strength of his reserves, but has
several promising men both in the
backfield and on the line
Coach Taylor is none too optimis-
tic as to the outcome of the La Jol-
la game since several of the first
string may be out of the game with
minor injuries. Edgar, veteran
tackle, has bad arm and will not
see action. Bush has weak ankle
and Furbass, an ailing knee. Tom
Payne will be out of the valley,
thus leaving another position to fill
in the forward wall.
In spite of these handicaps, the
Spartans are going out to win this
game and start the season off in a
blaze of glory. -.

Action AS Coast
Games Opens

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 49, U.P) =
George Lott of Chicago, who teams
with Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles
as the worlds leading doubles play
er, faced an acid test as a singles
performer today when he met Jack
Tidball in the eighth annual Pacific
southwest tennis tournament.
Tidban, former national intercol-
legiate champion, established a for
midable reputation in the local
tourney last year when he blasted
Ellsworth Vines from the running
and many believed he might accom-
plish the same feat against Lott,
Such an accomplishment would be
less of an upset, however, than was
the defeat OF Wilmer Allison, Aus
tin, Texas, favorite, at the hands of
Jess Millman, young Southern Cali
fornia ace, in yesterdays round.
Stoefen also was pitted against a
formidable foe in the parsonage of
Chuck Otis of Pasadena. Another
feature match of interest paired
Frank Shields, ranking American
ace, against Chuck Carr, Los Ange-
les.
Kay Stammers of England and
Midge Van Ryn of Philadelphia
were matched in what was expect
ed to be the outstanding perform
ance among the womens singles
players.
