NEGRO ROBBED AeA|N
BY ELIZABETH LAWSON
Continued from last week.

But Of all the misleaders who have
shown themselves in their true colors
since the Blue cage first few Robert
Motion head of Tuskegee Institute has
exposed himself most surely. Motions
actions in regard to the MIRA leave
him without a decent shred of honest
militancy to cover his naked treach-
cry.
In July 1898; the Southern white
press was tickled pink because there
was a rumor that Motion had OK'd
lower wage-scales for Negroes. Lat
er on a secret letter was discovered
which DR.. Motion had written to
Washington giving his OK on the APP
plication of the Southland Manufac-
turing Company Of Montgomery Ala.
to pay lower wages to it's Negro en-
ployees. Now DR.. Motion has come
out openly in favor. of lower wage
scales for Negroes. He sent his sec
rotary to Washington to argue on the
side of lower wages for Negroes.
He supports the lies Of the white en-
ployers that Negro labor is less eel
cient than white.
There's a Negro in Congress who's
supposed to be "our" representative.
Has Oscar DePriest once raised his
voice in Congress to ask for equal
wages under the MIRA Codes? Mol
All these white and Negro mislead-
ers stand for the NRA because they
are first and last in favor of keeping
things as thty are. They want the
present system under which a few
people have everything and the rest
have nothing under which the Negro
people are kept in chains-they want
that system to remain as it is. To
attack and expose the NRA is to at
tack and expose the government and
he enire sysem for which i sands.
Ito be continued next week.

Jiu-J;tsu Rough Sport

The jiu-jitsu bout Of Japan is the
toughest two-man sport. All kinds Of
fouls are permitted and broken necks
and ankles, dislocated hips and shout
ders and torn tendons are not uncom-
mon. When a combatant is in a pain
full grip and about to receive a dis
aiding injury, he is supposed to give
in and end the round. Rather than
face this humiliation, however, he
sometimes allows himself to be pun
ished to the point of insensibility.-

Cause of Rain and Snow

All the rain and snow that falls Is
present in the atmosphere because the
heat of the sun, plus the lower heat
Of the earth, causes water to evaporate
and turn from its liquid form into
water vapor. Anything which lowers
the temperature cuts down this rate Of
evaporation. Thus in winter the mois-
ture content Of the air is generally less
than in the summer as measured BY
the humidity

Five Negroes And One
White Killed in Cotton
Oil Plant Blast

HEREFORD, N. c., January a.
(CNS)-Fivs Negroes and one white
mar were killed, while seven other
Negroes were injured, when a boiler
exploded at the Eastern Cotton Oil
Company here last week. Trapped
beneath bricks and timbers of the
wrecked plant, the victims who were
not killed outright were scalded to
death as steam and boiling water
coursed through the debris. Hartford,
a town of 1000 population, was
shaken as if from an earthquake.
Company officials believe the blast
to have been caused by a bursting
pipe in the boiler or by cold water
being turned on in the heated boiler.
Twenty-Five workers were in the
plant at the time of the explosion.

BLIND HEN LEADS TO ARREST
OF WHITE CHICKEN THIEVES.

Geneva, n. Y--(CNS)-Two white
men, Antonio Alameda, "a and An
tonic Prada, living in the village of
Odessa near here, have been sentenc-
ed to spend not less than two and a
half years and not more than five
years in Attica State Prison on the
charges Of stealing chickens.
A woman who looked over a large
flock of chickens found on property
where the two men were exclaimed:
my heavens, there's that old hen
that's blind in one eye," and it prov
ed to be one of a fock of 1875 chickens
stolen from her farm.
The men are believed by police to
have been part of a gang making a
business of wholesale chicken steal
ing which cost farmers in this section
many thousands of dollars. The birds
were disposed of in large lots in city
markets. Motor trucks were used in
making the thefts, the entire flocks
were taken at one time.

CENSUS
APPOINTS TWO
WOMEN

Mr.. John F. Holloway, Census
Supervisor Of the Third District Of
Nebraska, has demonstrated a fine
sense Of fairness to Il group by APP
pointing two Colored women on his
staff Of workers.
There was no quibbling, no side
stepping, or saying; "You people
must get together" Mr.. Holloway
realized that on every project Of any
size at all, Colored people were ele-
gible to a quota. He was conscious Of
his duty and performed it without
any ado. On his office staff he allot-
ted US a clerkship in the person of
Mrs. Lucille Edwards, and in his list
Of enumerators he appointed Mrs.
Ruth Lewis, who was formerly in the
office of Ex-Commissioner Wester-
gard. Mrs. Edwards was a Ease work
er in The Welfare Department under
TX Mayor Richard L. Metcalfe.
We commend Mr.. Holloway on his
s,ra.gf.5 forwardness, his broad
vision, and his impartiality. We APP
preciate his application and interpre-
tation of the New Deal.

paper. by Robert DUR.
ga white man came to me some

man said that the people who
held the key to the situation had

MEET
CALLED IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, January 25-The Inter
national Labor Defense and the Lea
que of Struggle for Negro Rights,
have issued a joint call for a confer
ence to be held here on February 8,
at 2 p m, at the Forum Hall, 1922 E.
43rd Street All organizations and
groups Of workers are invited in the
call to send delegates to the confer
ence to fight discrimination against
Negro workers on CWA projects and
IN the stock-yards, and to continue
the work Of the Baltimore Anti
Lynch conference held last Novem-
Der.
The struggles that have developed,
especially around the Lake Street
territory in the last few days, prove
lha5 this conference is necessary
particularly TO fight police brutality
AGAINST the Negro workers.
Claude Light1oot, Negro, the Sc
cre5ary Of the L. S. N. R. was brutal
~ slugged by police recently at the
funeral Of a Negro worker who had
died Of starvation.
The funeral was arranged under
the auspices of the Il. s. N. R., and a
permit was granted by the police
commissioner. When Negro and white
workers gathered at the funeral par
lor for the parade, a white worker
was attacked by the police. Claude
Lightfoot defended him and was
dubbed brutally and thrown in jail
on three charges. The white workers
were chased away by the police and
the lying statement that was issued
by the captain of the Warren Avenue
station was that 'the police protect
ed this funeral for the Negroes from
the whites"
On the South Side, in the Lake
Street territory, and everywhere the
growing unity Of the Negro and
white has been met by the shsrpest
terror. The conference is called to
SIP develop the most effective re
~sistance of the workers against ter
ror.
