MESSAGE TO NEGRO WORKERS
E. H. H. Holman

My mother took care of my twin
sister. She died.
"Uncle Bill" a Negro and the
brindle cow took care of me. l an,
still very much alive.
To this fact, and the profound in
fiuence Uncle Bill had in my youth
in helping me to form my convic-
tons, owe the fact of lifelong
tolerance and sympathy with the Ne.
gro people.
/ have always looked on men and
women with the dark skin as equally
with myself. We all have the same
appetites, the same passions and the
same incentives. The white man and
the Negro both require food, cloth
ing and shelter. We both need time
for play, and for culture. We both
respond to the same appeals. We
both feel the same impulses. We
both live in the same environment
and the same exploiters rob us with
equal ease and without the slightest
race-antagonism. The capitalist does
not look at mans skin when he
seeks profit; he looks at his labor
power; buys it at the lowest price
and is happy when he can use cheap
labor-power and by its use increase
his own profit. There are no bars
against the Negro in the labor mar
ket and if the capitalist can use
colored workers at less cost to him
self than white workers, he will hire
them and thereby make a larger prof
it,

5000 Crowd Arena
To See Michaux
Baptist Converts

Philadelphia, Oct. Especial to
The Herald)-The Arena at 46th
and Market streets was filed to its
capacity of 5000 people on Sunday
afternoon. Admissions were paid
not to see muscle-bound wrestlers
hurl each other to the floor of ring,
not to watch the fast-moving antics
of agile ice hockey players or to fol-
low the well-placed blows Of amateur
pugilists-but to watch Elder Solo
mon Lightfoot Michaux immense 200
converts in the waters Of hastily
erected pool!
The attention of each spectator
was sharply arrested by that pool. It
was marvel of ingenuity. It's sides
were drapped in white silk cloth, and
= appeared to be upheld by broad
bands of shimmering white satin rib
bon, while the piece de resistance of
the entire innovation were two arti-
fetal spotless white doves that hover
ed coyly over the still water.

Whites, | Race Men
In Riot Probe

Princess Anne, Md, Oct. 5-James
Rowland, 33 years old, charged with
an attempted criminal attack on Mrs.
Mary E. Waddy, sc, white, of Prin-
cess Anne, on September 5, was in
dicted by the Somerset County grand
jury last week.
Three white men, Linwood and
Ernest Stacey and Lonnie Smith
were indicted for melting a riot and
7sault in connection with the race
riot here on September 8.
Police hurried Rowland to the
Baltimore city Jail for safekeeping
after they had captured him.
They were evidently, thinking of
the lynching of George Armwood
here last year, in which the victim
was dragged from the Princess Anne
Jail and lynched, his body being burn
ed in the courthouse square.
The Stacey brothers and Smith are
accused of being leaders of the white
mob which drove all the Negroes iv-
ing here off the streets. Linwood
Stacey attacked Negro, police say,
and the fight started.

COMMUNIST PARTY NOMINEE
TO SPEAK AT FAIR

Norfolk, ", Oct. O. (CNA)-
Alexander Wright, militant long,
shoremen's leader and first Negro
nominated for United States senator
in this state since 1900, is making
plans for large election rally to be
held at the Suffolk Negro fair which
is attended, annually by $4,000 to
10000 Negro farmers and workers.
Thousands of Virginia farmers
will be reached by the Communist
party's election platform and its pro-
gram for Negro liberation for the
first time through Wright's meetings
at the fair. Following Wright's
meetings at the fair, a statewide
tour to all industrial centers and
farming districts for Wright will be
launched. The opinion is freely ex-
pressed among many workers of both
races, that if the Negro workers
were not barred from the polls,

PuzzIing Freaks
Of Birth, Is Baby

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. g. Police
are asking mother to come forward
and identify girl abandoned on a
1egroe's door step on Sunday, Au-
gust 10, so the race of the child can
be determined.
Nurses and physicians at General
hospital cannot tell whether the child
is white or colored and are puzzled
concerning its future. It is less than
a week old. Will it be brought up
as Negro or a white child.
Doctors and scientists shook their
heads, admitting that there was no
way of determining the race of the
infant. Blood tests, hair examine
tions and the more homely method
of the finger nail and spinal examin-
alton will fail to bring a definite con-
clusion they say. There is small
contingent, however, which claims
that the race can be determined.
"The child has pink finger nails, ("
said a nurse at General hospital. Cali
Negro babies have blue nails. It has
distinct arch to its foot something
rare among Negro children"
"There is absolutely no way of
telling" said DR.. S. I. Wadney, ply
stefan with the city health depart
ment. sEl
when the child gets older per-
haps we can tell then, though there
is no way of being certain about Il.
In many cases ful-blood Negro
babies are born perfectly white and
get darker with passing time"
Laymen say that Negro blood can
be traced by a darker strnak which
runs down the spine, and the I'M
known child in the hospital shows no
streak.
