LEADERS GIVE VARIED VIEWS ON AL :
IMPORTANT TEXAS PRIMARY CASE DECISION

Chicago, April 11.-What do colered
Republicans and Democratic leaders
think of the ~soundness Of the United
States Supreme court decision which
upholds the right of the Democratic
party in Texas to prescribe regula-
lions for membership which prevent
Negro citizens from participating in
the primary elections Of that party?
What do they think of the effects of
that decision?
The Associated Negro Press has
sought to obtain the position of
nearly every acknowledgement leader
in both parties throughout the United
States. So far, only a small percen-
tage of answers have been received,
but enough have come to show that
there is unanimity among the Repub-
hcans to the effect that Negro Demo-
Gratis have no right to expect more and
difference of opinion among Demo
cratic leaders in respect to the sound
ness of the legal grounds upon which
the members of the court stood.
Some of the opinions follow:

of the recently formed Committee for
the Release Of Jacques Roumain.
John Haynes Holmes, prominent
white clergyman, one of the sponsors
for the Committee, issued the follow
ing statement concerning the impris-
onment OF Roumain, which reads in
part:
THE case Of Roumain moves me
with a profound sense of pity and
Indignation. This outrage should
stir nationwide protest in this
country, which in turn should bring
speedy release of this unhappy
man."
The committee has been formed
with the object Of obtaining the re-

Eas been the rule in the South since

statutes passed by the legislature,

lions stand up in the fact of the
necessity to corral sufficient votes
to keep in this OF that Democratic
faction, or to turn out this or that
Democratic faction.
THE Supreme Courts decision will
have no effect one way or the other
upon the entrenched Democratic Do
Htical machine of Texas, nor on Ne
gro electors. The Republican party
of Texas adopted rules in effect,
which exclude Negro electors in 1920
and the National Republican conven
ton of 1928, for the first time in
the history of the party, under the
leadership of Herbert Hoover, ap-
poved this rule. The Democratic
party of Texas, has a right to de-
stroy itself and no Negro electors in
southern States, will shed any tears
but will hope that on its ruins, q
new party shall spring into existence
where color is not a basic bar to the
right to vote"
Elmer Cater, Democrat, New York,
editor Of Opportunity:
"The United States Supreme Court
decision as to the right of the Demo-
cratic party in Texas to determine
the eligibility of its members is with
out doubt in conformity to the law.
It would appear hat the plaintiff was
badly advised in bringing his case
under his section of the law.
"To my mind, it does not, however

disfranchisement and the battle must

DECISION BY COURT DEPRIvES RACE OF
A STEP BACKWARD BALLOT: DECLARES
JULIAN RAINEy

JULIAN D. RAINEY, Democrat.
lawyer and n Of the big -Four, in
last presidential campaign:
The decision, in my opinion. was
based upon sound substantive law in
that it is within the province of a
voluntary association to prescribe
the requisites Of its membership.
This principle of law is exclusively
academic. It must subverse the
principles of Constitutional law.
Whenever substantive low, disabl-
ing In its character with reference to
the rights of any class of citizens. is
invoked to avoid the constitution. it
is the duty of the Supreme Court to
c~ountenance no such s~ubterfuge.
Plainly, the act of the Democratic
State Committee barring Negroes
from participation in the Democratic
pImaries deprives the Negroes of Tex
as OF the right to vote. There is only
one political contest in Texas, and that
is In the Democratic primaries. A
vote in the election is but a meaning
less act.
In unfolding the exclusion OF Ne
groes from the Democratic primaries
the Supreme court knew that it was
depriving the Negro Of his right to
participate in the political selection

decision was a step decidedly back.

in her years of work for the Negro

E EMERGENCY
RELIEF ADMINISTRATION

About $4,000 or 40 per cent Of
the 856,800 Negro workers ON
public emergency relief rolls in
cities and towns Of the United
Sta.es in May came to relief from
domestic and personal service oc-
equations, is was announced to-
day by Corrington Gill, Assistant
Administrator, Federal Emergen-
cy Relief Administration. Almost
half of this group were formerly
employed as household servants.
They numbered 185,600 ano
amounted to more than one fifth
of the total Negro workers on re
lief. The o-her zoe 400 workers
In the service were experienced
as cooks, walters, laundry work
ers, hotel employees, cleaners,
porters, etc.
Women represented more than
four fifths Of these workers from
service occupations. Some 3l3,-
700 or nearly three quarters of
all Negro women workers on re-
lief came from such occupations,
and 181, 900, or more than two
fifths, had formerly been servants
In homes. About 1890 men, or
one sixth Of the male Negro
workers on relief, came from the
service occupations.
These figures are based on d
survey OF The "Occupational
characteristics Of Persons Receiv-
ing Relief in 81 cities in May"
conducted by the FERA Divi-
vision Of Research, Statistics and
Finance, under the supervision Of
Howard B. Myers, Assistant Di
rector of the Division. The sur
vey produced the first definite
information on the occupatiOnal
experience of the workers on re-
lief and their capacities for re-
employment. 1t is expected that
such information will be useful in
determining the types of projects
which should be planned under
The relief work program.
About 169, 400 of the male Ne
gro workers on relief were un-
skilled laborers, it was found.
Another S8,40O were semi-skilled
workers. About 10000 Of these
were factory workers and $4,000
were truck drivers or chauffeurs
before coming on relief. Nearly
10000 were skilled workers. They
we're formerly employed as farm
managers, mechanics of various
kinds, painters, carpenters, build
ing workers, plumbers, machin-
lists, electricians, etc.
The Negro women workers on
relief who did not come from the
service occupations were chiefly
factory workers by occupation.
About $4,000 Negro women fac
tory workers were receiving re-
lief in urban areas in May.
The proportions Of Negro
white collars" workers on re-
lief, of both sexes, were much
smaller than the proportions in
the total urban relief population
Only three per cent of the Negro
women on relief and four per
cent Of the men came fror white
collar" occupations, while in the
total urban relief population, Is
per cent of the women and IA
per cent of the man workers on
relief were formerly employed at
such jobs. Only about 11,400
Negro men and $500 Negro wom-
on on relief in May were formerly
clerks in offices or stores. Six
teen mildred Negro men on urb-
an relief were formerly farmers
and another 1900 were wholesale
or retail dealers. Only 1000
women and 2,70O men on the Ne
gro relief rolls were classed as
professional workers.

WIVES WHO JAIL

TRIFLE SCREWY
Definitely 'PSyCOpathiC' Is
Alimony League Finding
After Survey.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July II. - A ma
1or1ty Of women who send their hus-
bands to jail because Of default Of
alimony are "psycopathic or path
illogical cases" a survey made BY
the Alimony Reform League re-
ported today.
The survey asked three questions
OF falling wives: why did you
send your husband to jail? Are you
satisfied o that your husband is
IN jail? How long would you like to
lave him remain there?"
In BAL replies to these queries, the
league contended they found $50
women with persecution manias. and
most of the others were merely
using the law as a whip to safe
their vindictiveness."
Sure They Deserve 1t"
The survey indicated that in an
swering the first question % per cent
OF the wives said because he de-
served it," Thirty-two per cent ad-
mitted they sent their spouses to
the hoosegow for revenge" Among
the remaining 40 per cent no two
wives answered alike.
In response to the second ques-
ton, 81 per cent were very pleased"
by the Incarceration, 81 per cent
we're very sorry" and Is per cent
couldn't make up their minds"
But in the answer to the third
question about how long they wished
their husbands to languish, 40 per
cent replied until he rots to death"
The others more or less varied.
She Just Didn't Like Him
The league reports that one wife,
asked why she jailed her hubby.
replied:
I heard so much about the ali
mony jail, and 1 wanted to see
the inside so badly that 1 sent my
husband there so that I could visit
him"
Another wife decided she sent her
husband to prison because "he had
the grace Of a hippopotamus, the
brain Of a gnat, looked like a gil
rafe, stung like a wasp, had the
personality of a dead salmon and
smelled like a stable full of dead
horses"
