PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The

a Darnellagram for me and said a
what and he said a Darnellagram
and I said what in the devil is that
and he said Boss, don't know.
A Darnellagram, it turned out, IS
a telegramish sort OF thing sent
out by Robert Darnell and company,
betting commissioners, listing the
very latest odds on top sports
events. My Darnellagram, a nice
baby blue one which one of the
Darnells-I like to think it was Ro-
bert, myself-was kind enough to
forward from New York, concerned
the Army Navy game which will be
waged in vast Franklin field to-
day.
1t contained two rather Surpris-
ing bits of information. For one
thing, Navy is no longer favorite.
From somewhere deep down in
their khaki the generals, the briga-
diers, the Cclonels, the captains
and the boys with only one bar on
their shoulders, have dug up enough
ugarshay to send the soldiers out
there on the field favorite at to
5. This is not only surprising-it's
downright confusing, for rated Oft
their 1884 records to date, Navy is
the better team.
Army has been licked twice-first
by Illinois and then by Notre Dame.
Navy has been kicked but once
by Pittsburgh-and one of the Sail
ors' victories came over the same
Notre Dame club that out-Skir-
mished Army. l don't know how to
explain this sudden switch to Army
unless it is because there are just
more soldiers than there are sailors
and the former, record or no record,
have become SO accustomed to see
ing Navy take beating that they
can't picture any change in the

never worry about those who die.
There are already too many Negro

the work. The foreign ships con-

they sail with the product of the

simply means that the native

Dear Comrades,
Thanks to the effective work of

I am well out of danger physically

This is a real victory for the I. L. D.
I. L. D. branches, we know, are

news of your activity in organizing

During my convalescence I have
taken advantage of the opportunity
to study theory of the class struggle,
so that when I get back to work
(and it won't be long now, the doc

This is the first time I have ever

By LANGsToN HUGHES

UAITT is country Of people with
ii out shoes, Negroes whose bare
feet tramp the dusty roads to
market early in the morning, or
move softly across the smooth floors
Of the hotels, serving foreign guests
These barefoot Negroes SOW and
care for the fields of rice and sugar
cane under the tropical sun. They
climb high mountains collecting
coffee or sail fishing boats over the
azure sea. All the work which keeps
Haiti alive, which pays for its oc-
cupation and enriches the foreign
merchants, is done by Negroes
without shoes.
Nevertheless, shoes are articles Of
great Importance in Haiti. Every
one who claims any social or COM
mercial position, must wear them.
To be seen barefoot in the streets
means to be stamped as belonging
to that low caste which has no
standing in the community. Goats,
also, are of vast Importance in Haiti.
No less so than shoes. In a coun-
try where the climate would per-
nit everyone to go naked in COM
fort, officials, professional people,
government employees and school
teachers sweat niserably in tight
sack-coats during the hottest days.
Strange, grotesque and somewhat
pathetic is this accent on clothes
and shoes in an undeveloped coun-
try where the average salary is 80
cents a day and where the sun
burns like fire. 1t is something
brought there, perhaps, by the white
rulers who wore coats and shoes as
symbol of their power, and which
is probably looked upon by the ma
tives as something infinitely desir-
able, as much so as idleness, rest
and liberty But wearing apparel
for the Negro masses is not cheap.
Clothing is imported as we'll as
shoes. Prices are high, work scarce,
wages ridiculously low, therefore
the doubtful step toward the dig
nifty Of possessing leather between
ones feet and the ground and a
coat between ones body and the
sun is not easily made in this Car
ibbean Isle.
PRACTICALLY all the commerce
there is in the hands of white
foreigners, therefore one must buy
shoes from a Frenchman or a Sy-
rian, who without doubt, would re-
turn but little change to their Halt
ian customers. Imports and eX-
ports also are in charge of foreign
ers: German Americans or
Italians. Haiti has no foreign cred
its; no merchant marine, and its
commercial representatives in for
eign countries are but few. And
the government - controlled by
Americans-irnposes tax upon
everything. There are no important
factories in the country and the
very few which exist are in tbs

were cast outside the gates. The
workers were wavering but growing
ever more radical, embittered by the
New Deal. With a humping heart
ne saw a clerk, an hour later, come
out of the Office and post list of
names on the bulletin board.
The sheets of steel had piled UP
while he was in the wash-room. He
could not leave his press now-he
must work like mad to catch up.
Anyway, it was his last day. He
felt an unsupported love for the
machine he must now leave.
CTABEI,Y came out of his Office
y unseen by Joe. Sauntered down
the aisle and stood beside Joe for
moment in silence. He coughed
nervously and fingered his little
brown moustache.
Whirling around, Joe's eyes Wild
ened with surprise. The thought
spun in his mind, Come to give
me the glad news in person, ehl
Well, one good healthy clout-"
In jerky voice Stabely spoke
Elbow are conditions, Joe, all
right? Er-there's going to be a
raise for the men shortly. And, ali,
you're not being laid off," Joe,
dumbfounded, stood with his mouth
wide open. while Stabely clapped
him on his shoulder friendly like
and then walked back to his Office
Then Joe saw the light. He
laughed out loud. He couldn't help
it. To Ed, the trucker, who pulled
up Just then, he said:
THAT stool-pigeon Carney got the
boss scared to death. He must think
that three-quarters of the plant is
already in the union. He's scared
to death of a strike" He clenched
his jaws, and added. Yeah, and it
won't be long now"
