Marchers To
White House

WASHINGTON, March 28+(CNS
)-Some 500 marchers from New
York, Camden, Philadelphia Reading,
and Baltimore, headed by Norman
Thomas Socialist leader, visited the
White House Saturday March "a, to
protest against the discontinuance Of
CWA relief work. Accompanying the
delegation were a number of Negro
es who stood for their sp~okesman's
demand for a $4,000, 100000 relief
program and a $2O-a-week minimum
wage.
The delegation did not get to see
President Roosevelt. Secretary to the
President Marvin M. Mcintyre gave
them audience and listened to their
appeals.
Thomas pictured to Mr.. Mcintyre
the seriousness of the situation,
which he said was not exaggerated,
and ridiculed the idea that the Gov
eminent would be unable to expend
$4,000, 100000 for relief. He explain
ed he was not a civilian worker and
not a member of the delegation. but
was in hearty sympathy with them.
Without disturbances Of any kind
the marchers left the city about night

WASHINGTON, March % - With
the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching
bill ready for reporting out of the
subcommittee on the judiciary fav-
orably, persistent reports have it
that a number Of northern and west
ern senators are pulling wires behind
the scenes to sidetrack the bill until
the next session Of congress-which
will be after the fall elections.
These senators are said to be IN
easy. They want to postpone the
anti-lynching law, which is full of
dynamite" as far as their political
fortunes are concerned, hoping they
can stall off the voters at the fall
elections.
Meanwhile Senator Frederick Van
Mugs, Of Indiana, chairman of the
subcommittee, is going ahead with
his work. He declares he is ready to
defend the bill and is known to be
intellectually in favor of prompt
passage of it by the Senate.
Friends Of the bill here state that
so far, the total of letters from in
dividuals and organizations to mem
bers of the Senate judiciary commit
tee and to individual senators has not
been mountain high. Support for this
legislation should be pouring in upon
senators by every mail 50 that there

Mr.. Glen B Eastman the commits
sioner Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
who has so often showed his interests
in the welfare of the Negro by ap-
pearing before many groups and
meetings sponsored by the Omaha
League, showed his real interest Of
the Negro by ordering his full crew
of Negro Walters discharged from
service on March %.
Many of these men have been an

as 26 years
Mr.. Simon Harrod, was reemploy-
ed by the new manager under the
instruction of Glen B. Eastman. 1t

Of time for the purpose of acquaint-
ing the new management with the
line of service. The cashier reported
to the new manage rthat five regular
meeting groups had cancelled their
reservations on account of the
change.
The Omaha Guide office was in
formed that these groups who can

Church Joins n
Million Dollar
Merger

BROOKLYN, N. Y. March &c
NS)-In 1916 the anti-slavery agita-
ton caused a rift between members
of the Church of the Pilgrims; and
three members, desiring a more lib
eral doctrine, broke away from the
congregation, founded the Plymouth
Church and called to its pulpit the
following year, Henry Ward Beech
er.
Now the two oldest Congregational
churches in Brooklyn have joined in
a $1,000,000 merger and the new
church organization is to be known
as "The Plymouth Church of the Pill
grims" with a combined active mem
bership of 1900 persons and endow-
ment funds of approximately half a
million dollars For the present its
services viii be divided between the
two houses of worship, with head
quarters 1t the Plymouth Church at
Orange and Hicks streets, until the
ultimate disposal of the Church of
the Pilgrims properties at Henry and
Remsen streets. The first united
service of the Plymouth Church Of
the Pilgrims will be held on Easter
Sunday in Plymouth Church.
An effort will be made to maintain
the separate identity of the two
churches, both rich in historical trad
ition. The Rev. DR.. j. Stanley Durkee,
pastor Of Plymouth Church since
1926 and prior to that President Of
Howard University, in Washington,
and the Rev. DR.. John Curry Walker,
Of the Church Of the Pill
grims for the last three years, will
become the co-pastors of the new
church, with equal rank and dignity.
Twelve members, six from each
church, will constitute the board OF
trustees, and t~wenty-four deacons
twelve from each, will be the board
of deacons.
For many years consolidation had
been considered by the two churches,
scarcely six blocks apart Last week
ST persons who met in Plymouth
Church voted unanimously for the
consolidation, but at the Church Of
the Pilgrims there were two dissent
ing votes in a total Of sixty-one.
The merger heals a rift between
the two churches that has existed
since 1916. In 1847 Henry Ward
Beecher attracted world attention to
the new church as he Numbered a.
gainst slavery and became Americas
greatest pulpit orator is his dramatic
campaign against the accursed sys-
tenn.
