CITY Wide Rent
Strike Planne

New York -CNA- Prepare
lions for the city-wide rent strike
gained considerable momentum
when two prominent organiza-
tlons, the Bronx Tenants League
and Harlem Unemployed Council
pledged unstinting support. The
strike plans were initiated by the
Consolidated Tenants League. a
Harlem group with a membership
Of over 5000 Negro tenants.
According to the plans Of the
strike committee Of the Consoli-
dated Tenants League, each house
organized or to be organized, will
be considered as a unit. Each unit
IS to elect one or two delegates,
depending upon the number Of
apartments, to the strike commit
tee. Basing itself upon the con-
ditions in the house, each unit
will draw up its special demands
for rent reductions and improve
mentS.
100 Houses Organized
According to League members
there are over 100 well organized
houses in Harlem. It is expected
that there will be more than 1000
organized houses when the strike
starts.
All tenants and workers in the
five boroughs will be approached
for support by representatives Of
the strike committee, an authori-
tative spokesman for the League
stated.
such powerful mass organiza-
tons as the Bronx Tenants Lea
que, the Unemployment Councils
and the League Of Struggle for
Negro Rights have already pledg-
ed to rally their members behind
the city wide strike movement, =
he declared.
Recently, the Graham Court As
ISOLATION, an affiliate Of the Con
solidated Tenants League, was
able to defeat a proposed rent
boost by involving outside mass
support.
1t is believed that this victory.
has given impetus to the League
to involve as many mass organiza-
tions as possible In the strike to
enure a successful conclusion.

Mrs. Hayden is a hard worker

Mrs. Hayden's constatn efforts TO

The old saying for a number Of
years is that a Negro could not

Cake-There were several rea-
sons for the lack Of real interest
IN the bill itself. One was that it
was thought to be improperly
drawn. At least it represented a
somewhat radical viewpoint on the
subject. Many Of its friends pri-
va ely thought it was unconstitu-
tional. Furthermore, the legisla-
tive situation was such that it
never had a chance and nearly
every insider knew it.
But perhaps an important factor
may be partly explained by relat-
ing a story which has just come
to light. about what happened in
the 1922 senatorial fight over the
anti-lynching bill.
The senate judiciary commit
tee, then controlled by republi-
cans decided the bill was uncon-
-itutional and killed it. A repub-
lican leader was irate when he
heard about it. He went to the
chairman and said the bill must
be reported to the senate floor for
consideration no matter what the
committee thought about its con-
stitutionality. Unless it was, his
constituents would defeat him for
reelection he is supposed to have
said.
Thereupon, six or more com
mittee members were persuaded
to change their minds and ap-
prove the bill, with the under
standing that the democrats
would filibuster against it and
prevent its passage by the senate.
This was done and everyone was
happy.
There is no evidence that any,
thing like that was done this time,
but it is probable that, in the end,
senators on both sides of the issue
similarly will have their cake and
eat it too.

E. WHY does my boy friend
act so ignoring to me at times?
Ans:-When this certain girl" is
around, your boy friends seems to be-
come rather excited for he really has
a crush on her. He is rather young
and hasn't been going with girls long,
and finds it hard to decide which girl
he had rather be with. Don't let him
embarass you by ignoring you.-You
are only twelve years old, and you
surely ought to think enough of your
reputation to choose a boy friend that
at least has enough respect for you
to stay with you on a date.
M. T.-What will happen if l con-
tinue to go with this friend of mine?
Ans:-H this affair between YOU
and this maj you met in the show,
continues much longer there's going
to be plenty that will happen. His
vile appears to be in the habit of
checking up" on him even though
she doesn't live with him. In order
to avoid trouble with your husband,
you shouldn't be sneaking off with
other men, at least with someone you
know will never mean a thing to you.
H. Do you think my husband
married me because he was in love
with me?
Ans:- Although your husband
thinks lot of you, it appears that he
didn't marry you because of his feel
ings for you-for detailed informa-
ton see note attached to this column
and write to me for a private reply.
R. RI have been thinking of
moving and j want to know if l should
wait for what l want?
Ans:-f you really want to find any
happiness with your boy friend, l ad-
wise you to wait for him to return, for
If you move, he won't trouble him
self to look you up. The way he
walked out on you is just temporary
He is just trying you out to see if you
really care anything about him.
M. r. Twill you kindly tell me
what happened to my little boys
clothes? I can't find them anywhere?

quite frequently he plays Indian. On

SAFE STREETS

THE indianapolis Police Department and
Judges Of the municipal courts deserve
this city's commendation for their unrelenting
crusade on traffic law violators.
The wanton waste Of life in indianapolis
automobile accidents seems to have been
checked and the credit in no small measure
properly rests with the police and court drive
for safer streets.
Chief Mike Morrissey's police force has
never performed a more meritorious service
than it's current drive on all traffic law vio-
lators
If wholesale arrests are the only way our
streets can be made safe for our children,
then Chief Morrissey must continue the ar
resting Of scores Of drivers each day.
No thinking citizen can have anything but
praise for the actions of the Police Department
and the Municipal Courts The crusade must
continue until every motorist in indianapolis
knows how to obey the law.

TINKERING WITH PATRONAGE

DELATEDLY the House Civil Service Com
- mittee has started work on various bills
purporting TO take the Postof1ce Department
out Of the patronage business. Even the
skeptical will cheer the effort and hope for
results.
Unfortunately postal reform movements in
Congress usually turn out like rumors of
Postmaster Gen. Farleys resignation. They
command attention few days, and then
nothing happens.
Best of all postal reform bills is the one
introduced by Senator Norris of Nebraska
1t would start at the top, making the Post
master General a non-political appontee with
long term of office and directing him to ap-
point, transfer and promote subordinates
solely on merit. 1t would create a career
service and enable employees in the ranks to
work up into better-paid positions of respon-
Sibility
Such reform would be really worth while
But the same can not be said of various
other proposals designed primarily to give
me-jobs to politically appointed pOstmasters
