To Secure Passage Of Law

New York, December ~. The
forces which have campaigncd
since 1884 for federal anti-lyn-
ching law are bein eoordinated
by the National Association for
the Advancement Of CoIored Peo-
pie for a new drive to secure the
passage of federal legislation a.
gainst lynching in the roth Con-
gress, which meets in January.
The II. A. A. c. P. has been en-
gagged upon preliminary work, and
during the election campaign, sent
a QUESTIONABLE to all candidates
for congress This activity result
ed in the securing of direct or M
direct pledges from almost two
hundred successful candidates
that they would support a federal
anti-lynching bill. About $50 sue
cessful candidates have indicated
that they are not hostile to fed
eral legislation, although some Of
them are not definitely pledged
to support it.
The present activity of the N
A. A. c. p. is to perfect the STRAIT
egg of the drive in the new con-
gress so that work can begin
promptly as soon as congress con
venes.
Conferences either have been
held or are being arranged with

congressman and interested sup
porters of the bill. An attempt is
being made to anticipate and ans
wer all the possible objections to
federal legislation.
Since the Costigan- Wagner bill
died with the old congress, a new
bill will have to be introduced, but
it is expected that it will resemble
the Costigan-Wagner bill in all
essential features. A preliminary
text has been drafted and is be-
ing studied by legislative experts
with an eye to presenting a strong
bill.

Asks Rehearing In
Civil Rights Case


Cleveland, Dec A.. An applica-
ton for rehearing in the case of
Sissle versus Harvey has been
filed in the Ohio supreme court
by attorneys acting for Mrs FL
len Sissle of this city. The SissIe
case attracted nationwide atten-
ton when the Ohio supreme court
of appeals recently refused to re-
view an appeal from the opinion
of the court of appeals of Cuya-
hoga county, Mrs. Sissle was de-
MED service in a dress shop opera
ted by Harvey, Inc. located in the
Terminal Tower building. She
sued in the lower court under the
Ohio civil rights law and was a
warded damages of 500. The
dress shop appealed to the Cuya-
hoga county court which reversed
the decision on the ground that
the dress shop was not a place Of
public accommodation and, there
fore, did not come under the civil
rights law. Mrs. Sissles lawyers,
Chester K. Gillespie and Norman
L. McGhee then asked the Ohio
supreme court to review the case,
which the court refused to do.
The new petition is an effort to
get the court to reconsider its de-
cision and review the case.

IF tuberculosis is discovered in its
early stages, and it usually sets

rs, then a suitable cure may be
made.
1t is the purpose of the ieassf8
through its limited funds to dis
cover these early cases and re-
port them to parents SO that they
may then arrange for proper medi-

been that parents had no way Of
knowing whether their children
had the symptoms of tuberculosis
until 1t was too late.
The league also tries to dis
cover the source of the disease SO
that the proper authorities may
then rid the community Of the

of the league is far reaching and
a great cause for a feeling of sec

work of the league in discovering

is Of great community value, GER
