certain functioning Of the orderly pro-
cesses of the law, we are justified in
looking to the federal government for
the protection which the Constitution
declares must be given to every citi-
zen. 1t must b. remembered that
lynchings are not confined to those
charged with crimes against women,
as the records will show, but are re-
sorted to on indiscriminate provoca-
ton, and as yet there is no guaran-
tee anywhere by mandate of the law
against their occurrence. And when
the governor of one of our great states
goes as far as to publicly announce the
pardon of lynchers in advance of their
conviction, it is high time that some
thing be done by higher authority to
put an end to this evil. If governors,
senators, congressman and state leg
i~slators will pledge themselves public
ly to see that the necessary legislation
against lynching is enacted in each
state, the occasion for national legis-
lation will be removed. Till that is
done We must look to the federal gov
eminent for that protection which the
states still fail o give and the federal
Constitution guarantees. And I would
be disloyal to my W people, who
have suffered most from the neglect.

The friends of the measure, nor

the deep personal interest in its

Fields, young worker eked out a

barber shop. His refusal to lie to
an NRA code investigator has lost
him even these few miserable
pennies.
The white proprietor of the
barber shop instructed Fields to
tell the investigator that he was
drawing the code wage Of $14.5O
per week for porters. Instead,
Fields told him that he was de-
pendent solely upon what he re-
ceived from shining shoes.
The proprietor promptly fired
Fields, and the code investigator
has made no effort to reinstate
him in his job.

g lively and militant interest in inter-

Provisional Committee for the Defense

ers.
The march ended at Abyssinian
Baptist Church where a large crowd
had gathered to greet the paraders.
The mass meeting in the church was
spirited and demonstrative.
Audience Stands And Cheers
One of the highlights of the meeting
was a dramatic reading rendered by
Madame Marion St. Bishop. Attired
in Ethiopian costume, and reading
with militant dignity a poem decry-
ing the anti-Negro institutions in
America, she brought the crowd of
1000 to its feet, cheering and stamp
ing.
Speakers at the meeting included
Arthur Reid, Rev. A. Clayton Powell,
Jr., A. W. Berry, j. Alleyne and
James w. Ford. A. l.. King acted

A. W. Berry, in which he said. "The
Negro people must be vigilant against
the direct and indirect representatives
OF the Italian fascists in America.
Casa Italiana on the campus Of Col
umbia and Relief Director Corsi were
named as representatives Of Fascism.
Berry declared the "rainy season"
lull would not slow up the work of the
committee.
Every day is a fair day for US un-
til the last shackle drops from the
blacks the world over enslaved by i'm
perialism", Berry declared.
Resolutions were adopted to be sent
to Mussolini, the New York Italian
consulate and the Italian ambassador.
Plans for organization of a league
promote better relations between
Negroes and Negroes
throughout the world have been an
nounced by the committee.

 '"The public would soon learn that We had refused to pay, which would be more serious. We would lose our customers.

 U. S.. Tickets on Derby
 An American buying one of the ! few pay-off tickets in the Derby, Grand National, or the Cambridge shire Stake will speedily make the acquaintance of Douglas Stuart, Ltd. The firm named was picked because 1t sounded English and solid.
 Buying sweepstakes tickets in America is only a small part of our business,", asserts Freeman, whose appearance bellies his 56 years.
 We offer the person who has won a ticket on horse the chance to sell 1t outright or in part for sum that depends on the odds against the horse in the London betting ring. Thus the ticket hold CT can dispose of his chance inn mediately or get rid of half of it so he can insure himself a safe re- turn and still gamble on q larger reward.
 'This year. for instance, we paid $60.000 for tickets on Bahram, the Derby favorite, which went to the post a to s favorite.
 We bought two and a half tickets on Bahfam, paying $I5O.- 900, and won $375. .000, giving us a net on that horse of S225,O0O. We lost about $7O.000 on losing tickets on other horses, so made net profit of s15O,00O, the first by the way that we've made in nine trips to America. "In buying tickets we try to fix our prices so that we'll have about per cent the best of 1t, a fair advantage for an agent in such a transaction, and, taking all of our worldwide deals into consideration we are able to average just about that"
 Sweepstakes winners don't col lect until three months after the race. Douglas Stuart. Ltd., will pay per cent less than the even- tual reward immediately. and col- lect the full sum later.

 London, July S0--"Duggie Never Owes."
 To the sporting fraternity of England, which likes to bet on the losses, it's the best-known of all business slogans. It always ap- pears in advertisements in which Douglas Stuart, Ltd, tells you it ia waiting to open credit account so you can wager all you want.
 "Duggie" Is also quite well Known in America, as the result of his buying Irish Hospitals Sweep stakes tickets from Americans.
 It's the matter of advertising that Douglas Stuart, Ltd. is a bookmaking organization that as- tounds the visiting American. It's only one of the many crazy quirks of British law.
 It is perfectly legal to be a bookmaker if you set up in busi- ness at a-recognized track.
 To do this, the bookie pays fee. to the company which. owns the track and another to Tatter- sails Ring, which sort of vouches for his good faith and honesty.
 When in the Ring, the bookie has to put up 8 financial guaran- tee which protects the public from welshing.
 Under British law, it is illegal to accept cash for bets outside the tracks. Many make book quietly in the humber streets of the big cities. If caught, they are subject to a $50 fine the first time, $1O0 the second, and S250 or six months in jail the third.
 There is one big exception to all these restrictions. and Dug gie'' has taken the biggest advan- tage of it. Under the law, if you accept bets on credit and if all ac- counts are settled by check and not by cash, you can go right along. You can even advertise.
