Hughes Writes Brilliant
Negro Intellectuals

New York -~CNA-Langston
Hughes, noted poet and president
Of the League Of Struggle for Ne
gro Rights, contributes a story 10
the latest issues Of The Anvil. a
magazine Of proletarian literature.
The story, entitled CDR. Browns
Decision is a scathing satire up
on "Uncle Tom" Negro intellec-
tua's. It concerns a Negro pro-
fessor who appeals to millionaire
white philanthropists for funds
50 that he may establish a Jim
Grow college where Negroes will
be educated and patronized as
equals" The professor at the
same time hopes for a fat salary
that will enable him to 60 to Paris

Loses Four Good
American Greenbacks

Tuesday a man, on his round of
placing orders for job printing and
mailing important letters, eating
beakfast and getting his morning CT
gar, missed an envelope in which he
had placed four good American green
backs for safekeeping about 2 P. M.
He became frantic and searched all
his pockets. However, in searching,
he failed to find the said greenbacks.
Then business really picked up.
Although he was about so, his limbs
began to o as though he were
about Is. With haste he backtracked
over all his stopping places. He came
into the Guide office, where he had
placed some job printing for the Elks'
Oratorical Contest. He enquired if
any one had seen the envelope in which
the money had been placed. After
quite a rush search among papers on
the desk, at which he had sat, he
nastened out the door for the next
stopping place. When all hope had
been exhausted, he stopped in the
Post Office at oath and Ohio Streets,
and the postmaster handed him the
envelope in which the said four green
backs rested.
Rev Mcintyre was the finder of the
envelope and had turned it over to the
postmaster.
Mr.. M. l.. Harris, 2219 Ohio Street,
the loser and finder, expressed his ap-
probation to the Postmaster and
when seen last, was looking for Rev.
Mcintyre. Mr.. Harris says it pays

Negro and White
Workers Force Bill
For the Unemployed

Austin, Tex, -CNA-Negro
and white delega ions Of the State
Federation of Workers and I'm
employed Organizations met here
in a conference and drafted re-
lief demands which were present
ed to the legislature by Spokes-
man O'Connor white, of San An
tonic.
The chief demand was for the
introduction and passage of a bill
providing for the establishment Of
unemployment, old age and social
insurance, the bill 10 be known as
The Texas Workers and Farm
ers Unemployment, Old Age and
Social Insurance AGA" Spokes-
man O'Connor, as a result Of the
mass demand for adequate unem-
ployment relief, presented the
draft, which is a revision Of the
Lundeen bill and declared "The
element of hunger stalks in the
midst of us. The president has
brought the attention of the en-
tire country to he need for some
sort of social security"
No Discrimination
In addition, he presented i'm
mediate relief demand adopted at
he conference, requesting that
these demands become effective
pending the &C ion on the workers
bill. They are as follows: That
all relief clients shall be paid not
less than a minimum Of $50 per
mon h and that the maximum
work week shall not exceed 30
hours; that all clients on work re-
lief projects shall be paid not less
:han so cents per hour for nom
skilled labor and that skilled
laobr be paid the prevailing union
scale; we demand that human
nee' shall constitute the basis of
relief, and that there be no dis
elimination against Negroes.
Mexicans, aliens or non-residents:
that the right Of all unemployed
workers be recognized, to settle
their grievances through collective
bargaining by representatives of
their own choosing; that pending
the enactment Of the former de-
mands into law, there shallbe an
immediate e Grafton of all relief
cuts up to the level Of February
1884.
One legislator objected vehem-
emily to the presentation Of these
issues as demands" declaring to
Spokesman O'Connor: "You
haven't any right to demand any
thing of the government. You are
merely to entreaty or petition"
O'Connor's reply to this was:
eve come here as hones5 work
ers- If we sometimes violate a
fine point of order, please forgive
u.s.
He dramatically pointed out
how the unemployed of Texas are
starving through no fault Of their
own.

In Defense of a Mother
A MOTHERS DAY CONTRIBUTION
BY William Pickens

We could just as well call this contribution
"a Defense of Poor Mothers for il is the essen
iial story of millions of poor mothers of every land
and race, past, present and future.
l am influenced to write this word when 1 re-
fleet on the thousands Of introductions which l
have had as a public speaker.
The most unpleasant experiences of well-known
public speakers are these introductions. Often while
listening to them, | say to myself: Well, if any
speaker can counterac1 the effects and survive the
h~andicaps of an introduction like that, he will prove
his talent and skill" In the first place, The intro
ducers, as a rule, have very little respect for the
exact truth; they will offer any polite; sometimes
impolite, exaggeration or prevarication to fill in the
vacancy. The veteran speaker gets to the place
place where he ceases to make corrections or to
tone down evaggerations, but just les it GO at
that, except when common decency makes it nee
essary for him to disclaim some immodest state
ment concerning his achievements. and abilities.
This have / often sat and heard the eloquent
person who was presenting me say things which, by
their necessary implications, were SANDER and a
false report on the worth and character of he little
brown mo,her whose image is always called up be-
fore me when | hear these naive and thoughtless
insinua ions against her. The situation is Sc per-
sonal that it would seem very rude to correct the
falsehood and challenge the unintentional SANDER
right there on the platform, and so | am doing il in
this more impersonal and less insidious manner
through the written word; in justice to my own
mother and for thousands of o,her mothers of all
colors, who happen to be poor. Many times have |
risen to speak, filled with temptation to cha lenge
the SANDER On the spot, but wavered be. ween loyal
ty to the memory of a dead mother and polite kind
ness to he living sensitive person who had just
spoken and introduced me. His mo, ives were clean
enough; he meant frs, OF all to exhibit his own
eloquence and secondly to add to my praises, when,
af,er saying many things more or less about my
more recent life and work, he had proceeded: And
yet, a few years ago, this man was a little ragged,
un-cared-for boy, living in a small cabin, with dirt
and squalor and hunger" and So on and so
forth.

slandered like that, in order not to hurt the
vani.y of some living, breathing person. Now, how
is this speakers partly honest mistake made?
Whence came his naive assumption? Nowhere in the
sotry of my life is there record of facts j~ustifying
these conclusions. The error comes from this; that
these people all assume that poverty must be nee
essarily ragged and dirty. But / always recall how
my little brown mother, when she saw the rhildren
Of some slovenly n~eighbors, whose condition might
justify the rhetoric of these Introductory orators,
would say that as she had fingers and eyes, and
could get needle and thread and water and soap
there would be no rags and dirt on her children or
in her house. Her oft repeated words were: 81
would sew and scrub my fingers to the bone before
ever | would suffer my children to go like that. In
her gospel, raggedness was a sin, but patches were
respectable; and poverty was mo excuse for dirt
as long as water is free She had eight living
children. Their clothes were cheap and scant, but
both raiment an body were as clean as a hounds
tooth. The garments were often decorated with
mending patches. II will slave till my back is
broken before ever a child of mine shall 60

OF age, and the only times when | remember being
allowed to suffer hunger and the lack of food have
been since | was thirteen years old; and often fol-
lowing these great NEE. ings where somebody so
brilliantly and flatteringly introduced me to the
public.
Therefore must | modestly disclaim the credit of
rising from unkept poverty and dirt to being a man
who likes physical cleanliness and order in life and
work. l am a sanitary crank" because my moth
er's example taught me that poverty and cleanli-
ness are not absolute contradictories. My college
mates have often humorously recalled that my books
always STOOD in such constant order on table or
shelf that l could reach for any one of them in the
dark, and that at night my discarded garments were
never laid on the floor or hung in confusion. A
hole In the unseen sections Of a sock is intolerable,
and a rip or rent or a missing button from an in
visible undergarment shouts for immediate repairs.
Whether these qualities be commendable or not,
| deserve no individual credit or blame for them,
for L have not acquired hem, as the generous speak
