Allen, 23-year-old C. C. C. worker,
arrested and shot through the hip last
week by white policeman, was re-
leased on bond on November 20. The
bond was provided by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, which also
moved for dismissal of the charge.
This motion was denied.
Allen was eating in restaurant at
2 o'clock on the morning of Novem-
Der II, when a policeman came in
and asked him where he lived. Allen
told him, and the policeman ordered
him back home. AS Allen walked of
in the direction Of home, the police
man pulled out his gun and shot him
in the hip.
A spirited protest against this
shooting, which climaxes long series
of such outrages, was held here last
week. Taking part in the meeting

Negro RIGHTS; the international
Labor Defense; the Communist
Party: the National Association fol

RooseveltandC Committee
Get Lynch Report

New York. Nov. 80. = President
Roosevelt and Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings were sent today
a verbatim copy of the 5,000-word
report Of an investigation of the
lynching on October 26 at Marianne,
Florida, of Claude Neal, Negro youth.
Accompanying the document, the
National Association for the Adj
vanceNent of Colered People sent
copies of New York Evening Post
editorial of November 10 entitled
'Iegalistic Fiddlesticks," in which
the failure of the Department of
Justice to act in the Neal lynching
and the excuses given By Attorney
General Cummings were excoriated
and ridiculed.
In it's letter to the President, the
association called attention to the
welve-hour torture of Neal, the mob
of from four to seven thousand per-
sons from eleven southern states and
the participation of children who
plunged sharpened sticks into the
body of the mob victim.
"The complete failure of the state
and county machinery to prevent this
lynching," the association stated,
establishes as nothing else could
that it is imperative for Congress to
pass the CostigaR-Wagner anti-lyneh-
ing bill immediately upon its conven-
ing in January. We sincerely hope
that you will agree and that you will
as vigorously as possible insist upon
Congress that it pass the bill without
delay"
The attention of Attorney General
Cummings was directed to the fact
that the Ma. A. .C.P. investigator
+ establishes the fact that Claude Neal
twas lynched in Florida and not in
Alabama as some persons are at
tempting now to claim in order to
avoid responsibility under the
amended Lindbergh kidnapping law"
and he was urged to proceed under
the authority given by that law ''to
apprehend and punish those persons
who kidnapped Neal from the Jail at
Brewton, Alabama, and transported
him across the state line into
Florida"

THE WAY OUT
By Loren Miller
The Coming of the Lord

The Coming of the Lord
I we'll remember that day many
years ago when "The Green Pas
lures" pitched camp on Broadway.
Daily newspaper critics, fed up on
bare knees and bedroom near-seduc-
tons, clasped it to their heaving
bosoms. Their search for new words
with which to express their approval
of the dramas portrayal of Negroes
as supplemented little children, must
have been a JOY to the dictionary
makers. Striving before typewriter
then, as now, to keep body and soul
together, wrote many neat head
line to dress up stories depicting the
play as a triumph, and Richard Har-
rison, de Lawd, as a genius. For the
Negro critics were housekeeping
right along in the parade.
Their efforts bore fruit. Before
long Brother Harrison had got him
self half-dozen or less worthless de-
grees and in due season the N. A. A.
C. P. pinned the Spingarn medal on
his manly chest. Truth to tell, Har-
rison is competent actor and did a
good job interpreting his role, such
as it was.
No Degrees
The years rolled on, and finally
'tThe Green Pastures" took to the
one-night stands. Meanwhile, "Steve-
dore" was written and produced. The
same critics who had done so hand
somely by Ccnnellv's play admitted
grudginglv that "Stevedore" was a
pretty fair sort of drama Workers
newsnapers said it was darned good
one. It had unite RIM in New York,
and NEGRO critics did as well as they
could by it. without outraging the
Republican PARTY and Tammany Hall.
Audiences acclaimed it, but thus far
there has been no effort to canonize
the actor who plays Lonnie Williams,
| the leading character. Nor is it any
secret that he won't get the Spingarn
Medal. Line for line, "Steyedore"
hasn't gotten one-tenth the publicity
J that "The Green Pastures" got.

To Check Blackmailing

Senator Willard Tydings Of Mary
land plans to seek modification Of
the famous Mann act in the present
session OF congress.
This law was passed to strike q
blow at the white slave traffic. I'm
fortunately, 1t also has been q boon
to blackmailers. It Is perfectly pos
sible to prosecute under it a man
who never has dreamed OF having
the shadow Of q connection with the
organized vice traffic: and unscru-
pulous folk have used this fact as a
lever to extort money from men
guilty Of nothing more than indiscre-
tons.
It goes without saying, Of course,
that In revising the law care must be
taken to leave it an effective club
against comn,erciali1ed vice rings.
Senator Tydings believes it is pos
sible to amend the law 50 as to de-
stroy its usefulness for blackmailers
without weakening its usefulness In
the field for which it was designed.
It is to be hoped that he succeeds in
his plan.

Congressman Sinclair, who Is =

states where other stations are threa-

states having districts which depend
on information furnished from this

rectly affected. should bolster this

Avoiding DisillusiOn

One thing, at least, occurs to any
one who meditates over the tremen-
dous federal budget that recently was
unveiled In Washington. It is ex-
tremely unlikely that it will contain
any unpleasant surprises for anybody.
BY using the lowest estimate Of
government receipts and the highest
estimate of government expenditures,
the president gave us Is dark a pic
ture as he possibly could have given.
II everything goes badly, things
will be Just as he presented them: If,
on the other hand, the government
spends . little less than the maxi
mum, or receives a little more than
the minimum, they will be 4 good
deal better.
Probably it is just as we'll that we
look at the darker side first. What
ever happens, we at least have no
false hopes.
The governments finances for the
coming year won't disillusion us. The
only possible surprise will be a pleas
ant one.

Report on the Railways
(NoW vny.S T}voacl


For the first time since 1929 the
report Of the Interstate Commerce
commission covers year in which the
position Of the railways has shown
improvement. Gains made after
March raised the number of carload
ings In 1888 above the figure for the
preceding year. The commission
notes for the second quarter q net
deficit Of less than $1,000, 900 for all
Class ! roads, after payment Of fixed
charges, compared with q loss Of more
than 10 times that sum during the
corresponding period Of 1892. For the
months Of July and August, the latest
for which fixed charges were avail
able when the commission prepared
its report for Congress, the net deficit
was changed to . net income Of $46,-
DOC, 000-compared with q deficit Of
81, 000. 900 for July and August. 1882.
The commission cites as the obvious
need Of the carriers continued i'm
provement Of traffic resulting from
increased business activity. But it
notes that the railways are not today
in q position to take advantage Of
such an improvement under condi-
tons Of fair competition. TT will be
necessary that the various transport
agencies pay the same rates for COM
parable skill, render reliable service
on on-discriminatory basis, and
bear an equal tax burden This re-
fers, OF course. to competition by
waterway services and particularly by
motor trucks. The commission re-
cants its view, expressed In 1881. that
such competition Is comparatively UNI
important. The situation has changed
in the last two years, and diversions
Of traffic to rival carriers ''have now
attained such proportions, and threa-
ten such further expansions, as to
constitute q serious menace to the
future integrity OF the railways"
Concerning the fixed charges. the
commission urges sinking funds for
the Gradual liquidation Of bonded
debts. Il recognises that this Is i'm
possible ct present for roads operat-
Ing at . loss, but suggests that the
| possibilities Of the plan are indicated
when Il y realized that IN accumu.
latine sinking fund q only one-hal1
Of ! per cent . year would retire the
entire debt ct par ii about five de-
cAdes. The commission hints that Il
such funds are not set up in future

Enlistment may be required" as Z
condition to its own authorization Of
| further bond Issues.
