Apparently influenced by the

however.
In his wire he announced:

Government Charges Steel
Firm Tried to Defeat
Bargaining.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
WILMINGTON, Del, May 4-Con-
tinuing its attack on the Weirton
Steel Co., the Government today
charged a deliberate scheme" was
effected to deprive Weirton employees
of the right of collective bargaining.
Presenting the rebuttal to the
companyS defense in the suit for
preliminary injunction to prevent in
reference with the balloting of the
steel workers, Frank K. Nebeker, for
mer Chicago judge, told Judge John
Court that "the company plan, in
connection with certain restraints and
acts of coercion and interference per-
petrated by the defendant, is scheme
deliberately adopted and maintained
to deprive substantial number of its
employees of the rights sought to be
exercised by them, namely the right
of collective bargaining"
Nebeker charged continued vio-
lation of the code and section IA of
the national recovery act"
He pointed to the case as extreme
ly important" 1t involves the ma
tional recovery program, he added.
land it is not an eXaggeration to say
that the eyes of the people Of this
country are focused on this particular
proceeding. That is particularly true
of the interests of labor under the
recovery program.
This suit is not brought in behalf
of the Amalgamated Union of Iron
and Steel Workers. 1t merely hap
pens in this particular case that
these employees of the defendant have
associated themselves with that union
and have made an effort to secure
the right of collective bargaining
through the organization"

ARMY SPEEDS UP
AIRCRAFT BUYING
Adopts Competitive Bidding to
Break Deadlock on Plane
Orders.

Breaking the deadlock on purchase
of new combat airplanes for the Army
Air Corps caused by the long drawn
congressional investigations of the
former type of negotiated contract"
the War Department announced today
it would undertake at once to buy
hundreds of new planes through COM
petitive bidding.
Within a day or two, it was an
nounced, the chief of the Air Corps,
Mai Gen. Benjamin D. FouloiS, will
issue an invitation for bids upon ap-
proximately 80 bombardment planes.
Soon afterward, bids will be sought
for approximately 80 attack planes.
Between now and July l, bids will be
called for planes to be purchased with
the funds recently appropriated for
the next fiscal year, and also for the
following fiscal year.
The objections to the negotiated
contract form of airplane purchase
have been fully met in the new cir
cular, the War Department announced.
The 80 bombardment and 80 at
tack planes are expected to exhaust
the Public Works allotment of ST.
it was explained The number Of
planes to be purchased may vary
above or below the total of 110 of
both types in accordance with the
average bid price per airplane.
In explaining the unusual procedure
of calling for bids on airplanes to be
purchased out of the 1886 appropria-
tions, not yet made, the War Depart
ment said:
The reason for sending out these
latter invitations now, that is, before
the 1886 budget has been prepared,
is to give all manufacturers ample
time to prepare to meet the conditions
of the advertisement"
An important part of the new War
Department plan for plane purchases
under competitive bidding is the ac-
QUESTION of experimental types of
combat airplaneS.
Under the new form of contract the
War Department must pay for ex-
perimental work.

PREVENT HEART DISEASE"
By Or. w. D. Brown

The heart lies within the chest
and from there pumps the blood
throughout the body. When you
feel your pulse you are able to
detect definite wave, the crest OF
which represents the force with
which the heart propels the blood
onward. This organ, then, is the
center of this circulatory system.
Any abnormality in it will have a
profound effect on the body econ
omy.
Some people are born with
hearts that are imperfectly con-
structed. This is due to some I'M
toward factor which has developed
during the embryonic or fetal per-
iod. Some are born with hearts
that are not normal due to heredi-
tary tendencies. But many people
are born with normal hearts which
due to carelessness, lack of knowl-
edge, or heedlessness, they let be-
come involved with some disorder.
This last group is~in the majority
and it is to them that prevention
should be preached. The heart is
composed of highly specialized It's
sue and like specialized tissue else
where in the body, must function
under optimum conditions to be eff
fcient. Let an infection of any
kind linger in the body, it will GER
tainly have it's effects on the heart
whether permanent or not. You
have heard someone say that since
he had smallpox, or diphtheria, or
typhoid fever, or acute infiamma-
tory rheumatism, or other infec-
lions, he has had heart trouble.
These are the acute diseases
which in most cases can be pre-
vented by incubation or VAGINA
ton. Then again there are the
chronic infections, which though not
as severe as the acute, are never
theless constant in their deleterious
effect. Chronic tonsilitis, assessed
teeth, incurred venereal disease,
play a great role in propagating
heart disease. The infectious or
toxic material is easily carried to
the heart by the blood. The time
to consider this problem is before
permanent harm is done. Many
of the infectious diseases can be
prevented. Diseased tonsils and
teeth can be removed and venereal
diseases can be cured.

THE POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT
C.. e. Rucker

President Roosevelt is to be
commended for his sagacity in the
selection of Negroes whom he has
appointed to office. Although few
in number and far below the right
full percentage, those whom he has
seen fit to appoint have been rep
resentative Negroes of character,
intelligence and standing in their
respective communities. In the in-
terwOven network of a complex
civilization such as we have in
America, there are really but two
separate and distinct classes Of
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1934-10-12

people, namely, producers and nom
producers. Naturally, among both
of these classes there are many
subdivisions. Here in Minnesota
we have a distinct example Of the
useless, non-producing psuedO poll
tician, not legally possessed of nat
ural wealth, but living by wits,
constantly endeavoring to get
something for nothing. The very
nature of such people is fraudulent
and they are essentially criminal,
whether or not they are Overtaken
and punished by the laws of the
land. The sad part of it is that
this type of person seeks and con-
vincely gets the ear of well-meaning
and fair-minded men of influence
and power. We should dedicate
ourselves to the eradication of this
type of representation, expose it,
discourage it wherever found. If
we condone and ignore it, the re-
suits will be a continuation of its
growth and deadly influence as
well as irreparable injustice to
self-respecting, intelligent Mime
sofa voters.
Had an interesting interview
with an incumbent political Off
cial last week. Found him quite
ready and eager to discuss and
learn more about people in gener-
al and Negroes in particular. He
frankly admitted he was somewhat
lacking in information concerning
the vital facts relative to the
Negro element of our population;
that he had read no Negro news
papers, and knew the story of the
Negro primarily as it had been told
in the columns of the white press.
We finally agreed that most Of the
fiction built upon and around Ne
gro characters is but an exploita-
ton of the sordid, gruesome, and
in way the humorous side of Ne
gro life. The Negro wit and hui
NOR, as set forth in the writings
of Octavus Roy Cohen, Hugh
Wiley, Irwin S. Cobb, Roark Brad
ford and others, together with the
Interpretation of Negro character
istics in the broadcastings by
"Amos and Andy" were only por-
trayals of certain phases Of Negro
life, so overdrawn that they do the
colored population as a whole an
almost irreparable injustice. Ne
gro lawyers, preachers, doctors and
teachers, and others of this gen.
Grafton, do not speak in the venacu-
lar attributed to them by these
writer's, and there are many Negro
business men transacting large, go
ing businesses, that are in no sense
represented by the honest but ig-
norant Amos" nor by the stupid
ly designing ANDY.
The writer believes there is not
much the Negro himself can ac-
lively do except to patiently bide
the time and wait for the white
man to catch up with him in the
matter of inter-racial knowledge.
When the white man knows the
Negro as well as the Negro now
knows the white man, it will not be
difficult for them to appraise each
other and strike common balance
of human weaknesses and human
excellences upon which they can
all fully agree.

HERE and
THERE
By w. NJ. Smith

ens$snakSs$sn1kc.4eo1Ec .4ea7KG,
At last, the long looked for
shake-up in the Minneapolis post
office has come. I am sure Post
master w. C. Robertson breathed
a sigh of relief when the difficult
job was done.
Only the uninitiated or the fee
ble-minded will believe the changes
were made for the good of the
service. They were made in the
interest of harmony and for the
benefit of certain good and deserv-
ing Democrats.
The harmony will be found
spread rather thin over the sur
face and the good and deserving
Democrats have not all been COM
pletely satisfied.
The evolution in the postal serv-
ice is rather startling. Twenty
years ago, Marc Wanvig, hard
working, painstaking superintend-
ent of mails, did his job alone, and
made quite a success of it. He
finally was allowed one or two as
sistants. Today assistant superin-
tendents are as thick as the fleas
on a dogs back. It's fine for the
faithful, but hard, indeed, on the
P. M.
Mr.. Robertson told a group of
his colored workers that he would
be "color blind" during his admin
istration. He most certainly was
in the present instance for there
isn't a bit of "color" in any of his
appointments.
One of the pOstmaster's appoint
ments stands out. That of Edward
B. Murnane as assistant pOstmas-
ter.
Murnane has been a fighting
Irishman. The years have mel
lowed him somewhat, In his
younger days his Feasibility won
him many enemies and he was kept
from the promotions his fine abil-
ity and wide command of postal
affairs warranted. Preferment
that came as reward of fawning
was not for him. I venture the
prediction that the years, though
they have sObered him, will find
him the same straight-thinking,
fOrward-lOOking, square shooter
he has always been. He will not
use his high position to serve self
ish ends. The humblest emplOye in
the service will get from the as
sistant postmaster all that's COM
ing to him, be it good or bad.
In this material world power is
all that counts. Certain of our st.
Paul citizens are developing that
power through an alliance with
the Democratic party. When, and
if they succeed, they may be able
to influence more equitable atti-
:thde toward the capable, faithful
Negro postal worker in whose in
terests' the postal officials have too
long: BEEN .cblor blind"
