Random Notes

Reports from Adds Ababa tell Of
clash between Italians and Abyssinians
in which number of mules and provi
sions were captured by the Abyssinians.
They say that the Italians have penetra
ted to a point where their lines of com
munication are more difficult. They will
therefore meet with greater resistance
than at any other time during the inva
sion, The Italians however. are holding
all that they have captured.
The imposing of sanctions has caused
the price of certaincommodities to rise.
The IS. Catherine" is expected to
arrive here today and at Christiansted

CLERKS ERROR DOOMS
MURDERER TO CHAIR

Dallas, Texas, Feb. 1.-Out of
habit someone in the governors
office wrote 1884" instead of
1885" last January 8. 1t was an
error that almost anyone might
make early in a new year-but it
meant the difference between life,
death Wednesday for Cecil Short.
An appeals court had ordered Short
electrocuted for the Staying of an
aged Negro. Judge Nolan G.. Will

view of communication from Mrs.

nor. Wednesday Judge Williams OBJ
tanned a copy of Mrs. Ferguson's
proclamation. He ruled the error in
date voided the document and SEN
fenced Short to die March 8.

Police today were holding a 49,

Facts Undeniable

Lest you forget, we wish to call
your attention to a few facts. Did
you ever stop to think that when
you purchase a HERALD that you
are buying weekly that has been
published continuously for eight
years? There has been any num-
Der of weeklies, monthlies and BIZ
monthlies that started publication
some lasted longer than others but
they all folded up.
People naturally out of curiosity
and because they were new took to
them, but the HERALD has remain
ed. The HERALD is the only Ne
gro paper in the state that is pub
lished by Negroes, no other publica-
ton has the facilities to publish a
paper with.
The HERALD is the only Negro
weekly that owns it's print shop; when
you give the HERALD or the PERRY
Printing Co., print job, you know
that your print job will make en-
ployment for another Negro. Your
job is set up by Negro, proof reac
by Negro and run off the press
y Negro in fully equipped Ne
gro shop. No other Negro weekly
or printing company in Minneapolis
can boast of this. We are not COM
mission agents, that is, we solicit
your printing on the strength of our
beng Negroes and take it to a white
shop-thereby acting only as a COM
mission broker.
We have stood the test of time,
the HERALD has reached you for
over eight years whether you paid
for it or not, you know what the
HERALD is. If you are interested
in supporting Negro in reality
owned institution then you will con-
tinue to support the HERALD and
the PERRY PRINTING CO.

HEARINGS ON LUNDEEN
SET FOR FEBRUARY 4

In the course of many days spirit
ed debate on the World Court, the
Senate defeated the Norris amend
ment demanding the approval of the
Senate before disputes in which the
United States is party may be sub
mitted to the Court. This extended
World Court debate recalls to mind
that the first speech ever made in
Washington in opposition to the
World Court was delivered by the
present Third District Minnesota
Congressman, Ernest Lundeen, six
teen years ago before the Grand
Army of the Republic of the District
of Columbia.
After remaining in session for
fifty minutes on Tuesday, January
%, the house, over protest of all
Minnesota Farmer-Labor and Repub-
lican members, adjourned for the
purpose of holding a Democratic
caucus during which it was agreed
to support the new "gag" rule limit
ing debate and amendments on the
huge $4,SSO,OOO,O 900 relief and pub
lie works bill.
The next day found Minnesota
second district Democratic Congress
man boiling the Democratic caucus
and voting with Farmer-Labor mem
bers Buckler, Kvale, and Lundeen,
and Republicans Andersen, Chris
Hanson, Knutson, Mas and Pitten-
ger-the entire Minnesota delega-
tion-against the gag.
The relief bill itself passed the
House on January "a by vote of
329 to 78 with the support of all
Minnesota Farmer-Labor and Demo
cratic members. It was opposed by
all Republican members from Min
nesota.
In order to give proponents Of the
Lundeen Unemployment, Old Age,
and Social Insurance Bill an oppor-
tunity to have committees sent from
all parts of the country to testify,
Chairman Dunn of the Sub Commit
tee on Unemployment Insurance, has
agreed to begin hearings on Mon
day morning February A. Represen-
tatives of organized labor, farmers,
professional and fraternal societies
will testify before the subcommittee
for the Lundeen Bill,
