old favorites can be dressed up.
A topping of whipped cream sweet
ened with honey and garnished
with a ring of crushed pineapple
is one of them. For a new flavor
the pineapple can be stirred into
the pumpkin mixture before it
goes into the unbaked pie shell.
Using a cheese crust for the
mince pie is good. Spoonsful OF
the crushed pineapple can also be
used on the pies if they are made
open-faced or with a littice top.
Pumpkin tarts are very attrac-
tive for individual servings. Gran
berries can also be used to ad-
vantage in these tarts. You will
enjoy this modern chiffon filling

Citizens NAV Seek
Anne dment For
Civil Rights Act

CLEVELAND Ohio's colored
citizens who have been living I'M
der a civil rights act passed in
1884 were shaken out of their
sense of security this week by a
decision of the Ohio supreme court
which, in effect, permits retail
stores to refuse to sell goods to
colored people.
The court. on November 10, re-
fused to review a decision of the
Cuyahoga county court of appeals
which held that a women's dress
shop In the Terminal Tower build
ing here had not violated the state
civil rights law when it refused to
sell merchandise to Mrs. Ellen Sis
sic. 1t was the contention of the
attorneys for the store that retail
shops are not bound by the Ohio
law. The courts upheld this con-
tention.
Lawyers here, in cooperation
with the N.A.A.C.P. in New York,
are considering whether to try to
carry the case to the United States
supreme court or to seek an am
endment to the Ohio civil rights
law. Chester K. Gillespie, presi-
dent of the local branch of the N.
A.A.C.P., is in communication with
members of the associations ma
tional legal committee in New
York and a decision on further le-
gal procedure is expected shortly.
This is the second time in recent
years that the Ohio supreme court
has narrowed its Interpretation of
the civil rights of Negroes. In
1888 it ruled in the now famous
Doris Weaver case that Ohio State
university was not violating the
constitutional rights of Miss Wea-
yer by segregating her in one-half
of a practice cottage in a home
management course at the univer-
sity. These two decisions by the
states high court are causing very
grave apprehension among the col
ored citizens of Ohio because they
indicate that instead of a liberal
and expanding view of civil rights
and social welfare for Negroes, the
court is restricting its vision.

condemned in resolutions intro
dnced at the fifty-sis<th convention
Of the American Federation of La
Dor. meeting IN this city.
Oter resolutions, including one
offered BY the delegates of the
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Por-
ters condemn the unconstitutional
suspension Of the ten unions affil-
lated with the Committee for IN
dustrial Organization, headed by
John Z. Lewis. miners union chief.
The unions were arbitrarily sus-
pended several weeks ago by the
Executive Council of the A. f. Of
Y. in what was generally int.r-
preted as a move to deprive the
advocates Of industrial unionism
Of a voice in the present conven-
ton.
The anti-lynching, anti-jimcrow
resolutions were introduced by A.,
Pinip Randolph, President of u :
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers, and by delegates Of the Hotel
and Restaurant Workers Interna-
donal Union. This latter organl-
zation was conspicuous IN the big
number OF progressive resolutions
offered as result Of the instruc-
tons Of its Rochester convention.

sident Green to back down on his
threat to expel the ten unions, al
though other leaders of the reac-
tionary block within the A. E. of
i. leadersip continued to press for
expulsion.
The C. I. o. members were sus-
pended shortly after they under
