MORO CASTLE FIRE
VICTIM REVEALED
TO BE A NEGRO

NORFOLK, Va. (ANP)-Sam-
uel Lewis Pettiford, 80 years old,
of New York City, and brother of
Mrs. Callie Carter, well known
citizen of Norfolk, 401 Chapel ST.,
who persisted in the recent MORO
Castle marine disaster, was reveal
ed to be a Negro, thus upsetting
all previous information that no
Negroes were listed among the
ships passengers or crew.
Pettiford's body was brought
here for burial last week and it
was then that his young white
wife found all his relatives to be
colored. He had been regarded on
the MORO Castle, where he work
ed as a bath steward, as being
white, and no references were ever
made by his unsuspecting super
iors as to his racial identity.
He never told his wife about his
race. Pettiford signed up as a
member of the ships crew on July
II. Pettiford was drowned as he
attempted to rescue a white wom-
an as flames we're engulfing the
steamer.

The letter was perhaps written

true. Give the southerners an OPP

REPORT SHOWS
INDUSTRY IS SLOW
] IN HIRING COLORED

WASHINGTON (CNS) - That
colored workers lost twice as ma
ny jobs as whites, proportionately,
during the past winter and that
they were taken off relief rolls to
enter private employment much
more slowly than the whites, is the
claim of a recent study released by
the Joint Committee on National
Recovery.
The study was based on relief
roll records of Atlanta, Charlotte.
N. c.; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapo-
lis, Richmond, and Newark. In
these cities, the group constituted
only seventeen per cent of the po-
pulation in 1880, but were forty
per cent of all cases taken on re-
lief because of loss of jobs in pri-
vate employment.
OF the CLOSED" cases, in which
the recipient of relief has secured
employment in private industry,
the group had only twenty-six per
cent.

NENCKEN Thinks
RACE ISSUE MAY
NEVER Be SOLVED

NEW YORK-The colored races
probelm may be insoluble, declares
H. L. Mencken, former editor of
the American Mercury, in an arti-
Gle appearing the October Crisis.
Mr.. Mencken advances the the
DRY that neither by uproar nor le-
gal processes is the colored man
likely to secure the rights he crav-
es. He holds that the present state
of mind in America. as he sees it,
is that the colored man has gone
far enough, and should be content
for the present.
However, the sage of Baltimore
also declares the colored man can
not afford to cease fighting, even
though he makes no new gains, or
the rights he now has may be TAX
en- from him. Speaking of the
Constitution and the bin of rights,
upon which the colored man de-
ponds, Mr.. Mencken says:
It is worth TO the colored man
precisely what it is to the Ameri-
can white man. That is to say, it
is worth whatever courts and leg
islatures choose to make it from
time to time.
"And what they choose to make
it Is no more and no less than
what the consensus of opinion
not of enlightened opinion, mind
you, but of general opinion, Of
mass opinion, of mob opinion =
wants to see it made :"
Politicians Discredited
For all these reasons" he con-
cludes, II find myself full of doubt
that the colored American viii re-
cover his constitutional rights on
any near tomorrow. His politi-
clans promise him that he will
but they are only politicians.
Some of his white friends tell
him the same, but they have fool
ed him in the past. My private
hope is that he will get them all
soon or late
but before any such Utopia
dawns, there must be considerable
change in the thinking of the hui
man race. 1t must cease believ-
ing in ouacks and transfer it's con-
fidence more to facts"
