Fires Worker Then
Keeps Him Off Relief

Boston, Mass, Dec. 21.-A fight
for the reinstatement of Wallace
Dewey, a Negro employee in line
for promotion to the post of man.
ager of the First National Store,
1866 fremont street, is being car
ried on by the Provisional Com
mittee for Equal Opportunities.
Dewey, discharged allegedly be-
cause of a dispute about overtime
pay, was fired because he was a
Negro, the Provisional Commit
tee claims.
Despite snow and sharp winds,
Negro and white men, women and
children picketed the store this
week, carrying placards with the
legends Protest Race Prejudice
and "Give Wallace Dewey His
job"
Conferences with the represen-
tatives of the National Stores
have been held for many weeks at
the instigation of the Provisional
| Committee. The claim of the
company that Dewey attacked a
white substitute manager with a
knife was proved to be false. But
Dewey, despite the conference, is
unemployed.
A statement of the Provisional
Committee said, when Dewey
applied to the Welfare Bureau for
aid, the company sent a letter to
them attacking Dewey, in an at
tempt to prevent Dewey's family
from getting relief"

Massachusetts is a sovereign and

lege Of mine to scold her for what
she does. Still, If from what she has
done an inference is sought to be
drawn as to what would do, I may,
without improperly, speak out. I say

pose 1t. Understanding the spirit OF
our institutions to aim at the elevation
of men. I am opposed to whatever
tends to degrade them. have some
little notoriety for commissioning the
oppressed condition Of the Negro; and
I should be strangely inconsistent if
I could favor any project for curtail-

even though born in different lands.
and speaking in different languages

CAS- to the matter of fusion, I am
for it If it can be had on Republican
grounds, and I am not for 1t on any

terms would be as foolish as I'M
principled. I would lose the whole
North, while the common enemy
would still carry the whole South.
The question Of men is different one.
There are good patriotic men. and
able statesmen in the South, whom
would cheerfully support If they would

MAN, SHOT BY own
GUN, NEAR DEATH.
Convent Caretaker Asserts
He Dropped Rifle on
Concrete Floor.

Otncials at Walter Reed Hospital
held little hope last night Tor the
recovery of Thomas A. Norris, So
year-old caretaker at the home OF
the Sisters of the Visitation, who was
wounded on the convent grounds near
Bethesda, Mo, in what he described
to Montgomery County police as an
accidental shooting.
The pullet that struck Norris
entered his left shoulder near the
collar bone, ranged downward through
his left lung and imbedded itself in
the mans back. Hospital officials
told police his condition was so critl-
cal an operation, to remove the lead
slug was not advisable.
Police at first were unable to de-
termine definitely the manner IN
which the shooting occurred, but Nor
ris rallied from a coma yesterday
afternoon and told Police Sergt.
Earle H. Burdine that he had acct
dentally shot himself with a az
caliber rifle belonging to himself and
his 14-year-old son, Alvin.
He declared that he dropped the
rifle on the concrete floor Of the
dairy barn while preparing to feed
the cows belonging to the convent and
the weapon exploded, sending bullet
into his left shoulder.
His wife, Mrs Annie w. Norris, de-
clared her husband arose about 4
am. yesterday as was his custom, and
went to the barn short distance
from their home on the grounds to
feed the cattle. She said that she
arose half-hour later and found
her husband lying on path between
the house and barn when she went
to Join him.
I'm shotl I'm shot" he cried
and lapsed into Inconsistencies. DR..
Benjamin w. Perry ordered Norris
removed to Walter Reed Hospital
when he reached the scene a short
time later and the caretaker was
brought to the local institution by
the Bethesda Fire Rescue Squad.
