member of the New York
Guild.
In the October Goth issue of
the scab-edited paper appeared
an article in which Mrs. Davis
denounced labor unions in
which Negro and white men,
bers were admitted on a basis
of equality, as in the News
paper Guild. She labelled the
Guild a "white mans guild. ="
Publisers Called Hypocrites
A group of outstanding Har-
lem citizens promptly issued a
statement vigorously denying
Mrs. Davis accusations against
Negro and white labor unions
and charging her with trying
to hide behind the race issue to
explain the unjustifiable fir
ing of fifteen organized en-
ployees'. The statement also
declard that Mrs. Davis at
tack exposes in its true light
the fake 'pro-labor' policy
which the publishers have
boasted in the past
Outlining the purposes of the
Guild in the labor dispute the
statement continued further.
"The Guild isn't trying to
take over the paper. The Guild
isn't trying to put it out of
business. 1t is trying to secure
the reinstatement of II unfair
ly discharged workers and rec
ognition of their union."
The citizens statement was
signed by Rev. Adam G. Powell
Jr., pastor Abyssinian Baptist
church; Walter White, Secre-
tary NAACP; Aaron Douglas,
artist Bessye Bearden, Social
and Civic leader; Ashley l..
Totten, National secretary and
treasurer, Brotherhood Sleeping
Car Porters; Lester b. Grang
er, Secretary Workers Bureau,
National Urban League; and
many others.
Kicked Out II Employees
The campaign for the rein
statement Of the fifteen mem
bers of the Guild entered its
fourth week last Wednesday. It
arose when Mrs. Sadie Warren
Davis, discharged and locked
out her editorial staff for men,
bership in the Guild.
All but five local advertisers
in the Amsterdam News have
withdrawn their advertisement
from the paper in sympathy
with the discharged employees.
Wide support is being given
the staff by Harlem and the or
gained labor movement.

 Bill at Hartford Hearing

Declaring that the federal relief administration Is head over heels in politics" Mayor Jaspeh McLevy, socialist, of Bridgeport yesterday afternoon appeared before the judi ciary committee of the legislature in support of the bill introduced by Senator George T. Culhane of this city calling for an investiga- ton of the doings of the emer- gency relief administration In this state. Bridgeport people did most of the talking on the Culhane bill.
 Senator Culhane told the com mittee that considerable criticism of the allotment of EZRA funds, particularly In Waterbury, has been going on. The commission, he pointed out, refused to figure in the Mutual Aid expenditures hera when computing Waterbury's relief costs. Only the public welfare de- pertinent figures were considered by the emergency relief adminis- tration.
 Newton C. Brainard, chairman of the emergency relief commission in this state, stated that his body would welcome an investigation. Others who supported the Culhane bill were Senators John M. Taft and Albert E. Eccles of Bridgeport, socialists, Mayor Alfred N. Phillips Jr, Stamford and John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Feder- ation of Labor.
