Won't
Go to Africa,
Aide Reveals
St. William Grant Threat
ened When He Asks
About Funds

St. William Grant, president Of
the Tiger Division Of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association
CGarvey Movement has declared
the whole movement a racket, in
letter to the New York Age.
Grant was one of 10 delegates to
an international Convention n"
called by Marcus Carney last Au-
gust in Kingston, Jamaica, B. w. I.
He is reported to have been jailed
in Jamaica for making a speech
against British imperialism.
In his letter Mr.. Grant states
that when, during the convention,
he asked Mr.. Carney about the
monies sent him by those groups
still affiliated with the movement
he was called an ignorant man, and
warned he would be expelled from
the convention the next time he
raised the question. He received
the same answer, he declares, when
he asked what had become of the
program" for African liberation.
Grant who for a long time was
one of the most rabid lieutenants
Of Garvey, and has acted as a police
stool-pigion on several occasions
against revolutionary Negro work
ers, states in his letter:
cat the present time Mr.. Carney
does not want to hear anything
about African redemption. When I
told him of certain Africans who
said they wanted him in Africa, he
said they we're ignorant like me and
he is not going to Africa
Had I known that our leader
was the faker he has turned out to
be, I would have never wasted my
time with him and gone to the
trouble Of raising So, 200 for the or
ganization."

A mass delegation of unemployed

sions from the relief administration.

project were promised by Borst.
The delegation, however, pointed
out that similar promises we're given
to their delegation last March, and
the results have not yet been forth
coming

lays, lodging, and empty promises
given them by the relief admins
tration, unemployed seamen on the
entire Atlantic seaboard will meet
tomorrow to plan militant action
at conference of the Waterfront
Unemployment Councils at 40
Broad Street. Unless the demands
are granted, a mass hunger march
to Washington will be undertaken
by the conference.
On the question of a central cloth
ing depot for the seamen, Borst
promised that within a week a
clothing store would be opened by
the FERA at Leonard Street and
Broadway. Necessary clothing,
Borst said, would be issued; but
would not promise that this would
be adequate.
To their demands for doubling
the food check allotmentS, from ten
cents to twenty cents meal, Borst
again gave rosy promises that this
would soon be granted with the
opening of special restaurants on
the waterfront. Carfare will be
given the men daily Borst said, in
order that they may look for jobs
Pointing out that they had
walked three miles from the water
front and we're forced to forego
their monday meals in order to
present their demands, the mass
delegation refused to leave until
carfare and meals were granted
them. Borst was forced to tele-
phone all lodging houses of the
seamen and order meals for the
mass delegation of seventy-five.
The seamen were represented by
a committee of six spokesman, in
Guiding William Bailey, E. Wagner,
j. Chambers and E. Morris.

Districts Behind

Campaign for 100000
New York Falls Behind Mark Made in Two Pre-

Will Be Climax of Its Part in Drive

A setback was received by the
so, 900 drive during the past week.
Only $3.50 came in-S1 500 less
than was received the week before!
Though Boston completed its
quota, such big districts as New
York, Chicago and Cleveland fell
under their mark Of each Of the
two previous weeks. Only four dis
tzicts sent more than 500. Fifteen
sent even under $50 Chicago, De-
troit, California and Seattle still re-
main below so per cent of their
quotas.
New York registered the biggest
drop. 1t fell 5000. The largest and
strongest district in the country,
it has barely completed so per cent
Of its quota. Surprising by far any
other district with resources for
raising its quota, it is still only in
sixth place. Not only are many sec
tons doing only half as much as
they can but the trade unions and
mass organizations are still not
alive to the danger facing the Daily
Worker. Only $85 came in from the
trade unions last week. The TWO,

After Berg had collapsed in the
relief station, three-quarters of an
hour passed before a doctor was
summoned. The relief heads ex-
planned the delay as due to rul-
ing under which they must first in

a doctor or ambulance can be sum-

mass organizations-S3, 500-has sent
in only 90 per cent.
1t is clear that every section,
every trade union, every mass or
ganizatiOn must make all haste,
if New York's quota of $4,000 is
to be filled by Dec. 1. The situa-
ton facing the Daily requires
immediate contributions.
It is not difficult to intensity the
drive. Certainly the objective diff
culties are no greater in New York
than they are in Philadelphia and
Boston, which have already raised
their quotas, and of the other dis
tricts that are ahead of New York.
The New York District has
adopted the slogan of making the
Daily Worker banquet on Thanks
giving Eve, at the st. Nicholas
Palace, Seth Street and Columbus

trade union is urged to reserve
tables and come with contributions
to put New York over the top.

Sickness Is Prevalent
Among Jobless Families
Receiving r elief Aid

A study of the 10000 families
under the care of private welfare
agencies in the city disclosed that
in 81 per cent of the families there
was illness of some sort, a survey
released Saturday by the Citizens
Welfare Committee stated. Illness
traceable to unemployment is the
most serious problem both of the
families under the aid of the private
welfare agencies and the agencies
themselves. James G. Blaine, chair
man of the committee, reported.
The analysis, undertaken to de-
termine the types of distress met
with in the work of the private
welfare agencies, showed that in adj
dition to illness caused by unem-
ployment, many families showed
numerous other problems arising
out of the same cause.

THE EVANGELIST
Believe the Bible. Philip, one
of the deacons in the church at
Jerusalem, had entered upon
;evangelistic work in the region
round about that city. While on
n very successful mission among
the Samaritans he received can
TO the south, perhaps a hundred
miles away on the desert road
from Jerusalem to GAIA. Sudden
and mysterious as was the call
by the angel of the Lord. Philip
Instantly Obeyed. He believed
God as Abraham did when called
out of Chaldea to Canaan.
THE ETHIOPIAN
Reading the Bible. Soon Philip
encountered an eminent Etmop-
ian who was returning home from
n visit to Jerusalem. He was
native of the rich region border
ing on the banks of the upper
nile. He was man of great
authority under Candace, which
was the official name of the
queen of the country. In fact
he occupied 4 position in the
kingdom which today would cor
respond to the Secretary OF the
Treasury or Chancellor OF the
Exchequer. He was. therefore,
man of great prominence, ability
and influence. 1t is credltaole
to the Ethiopian that he made a
Journey TO Jerusalem to worship.
No doubt there were many Jews
in his country. He was certainly
acquainted with the Hebrew Scrip
lures, having a copy of the Sep
tuagint version-the translation
made at Alexandria, and the YER
sion used by Christ and the
Apostles. On the return journey
from Jerusalem he was reading
the book of Isaiah relieving the
tedium of the trip and also sat
isfyinp his thirst for the truth.
THE CONVERSATION
Understanding the Bible. The
meeting of the evangelist and the
Ethiopian resulted in an eventful
interview. Said the Spirit unto
Philip: $50 near. and join thy
self to this chariot How inter
esting and prOvidential it was; the
reading of. the roll, and the ear
neStneSS of the Ethiopian, the
prompting of Philip. Of course,
Philip quickly Obeyed; he actual
" ran to him.. He heard the
Ethiopian reading the words OF
the prophet and said: "Under-
standest thou what thou read
est" How could the Ethiopian
understand without an lnterpre-
ter? Realizing that Philip could
help him, "he besought Philip to
come mp and sit with him." The
place of the reading was the 53Zf
chapter. of Isaish-those incom-
parable Messianic prophecies re-
ferring to the sheep led to the
slaughter, the lamb dumb before
the sBearers, the humiliation with
out show of justice, the life taken
from the earth. To whom was
the prophet referring in alb this?
The eunueh wished to know.
