THE PASSING OF A PUBLIC BENEFACToR

In the death of the late Senator James Couzens hui
manty has lost great benefactor Detroit and Michigan

Senator Couzens too broad in spirit, too deep in
his human sympathes to limit his private benefactions and
nubc efforts to any special racial group religious
creed but dispensed charities and service in interest
of ALL
Few modern phanthropists, if any, have surpassed
Senator Couzens bestowing benetactons upon the un
derprvieged Especially in providing disqualification for
crppled children Fairgrounds and camps for un
derprvileged boys and girls including those of our own
racial group.
The Green Pastures Camp, for example, is one OF
Senator Couzens gifts the underpriveged coored chill
dren of Michigan This splendid camp, which is located
near Grasse Lake. Michigan is of the hnes summer
camps in the United States being under the direction Oh
the Detroit Urban League of which John g. Dancy Is
tor.
Furthermore Senator Couzens annually donated
Ioroa sums to the local Community Fund, and these gifts
nlaved no small part in sustaining Detrolts many orga|
NJ charitable institutions which rendered financial as
sstance to the unfortunate poor OF the community
Senator Couzens not only served his community ana

MAKE YOUR VOTES COUNT

AS the campaign for the November election draws to
close find the various political parties competing for
Negro votes In this election the Negro ballot will play
important part.
Since the past Presidential election in 1882 many
members have shifted the Democratic Party
and recuts still being added because the Demo
Gratis have been generous in giving political appointments
Negroes In respects they have done more in this
direction than has been true in the of the Repub-
licans
The G. o. P. leaders, however have taken cognizance
this fact and pedging to give the Negro con-
sderaton in the distribution of patronage and in the
acting of protective legislation than before They
waging desperate fight to hold the allegiance of their
Negro constituents and to gain new supporters from the
ranks of the group
The Republicans realize that in order to win the
tional election they carry the states of Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana Ohio Pennsylvania and Michigan. They
also fully realize that the Negro vote in each of these six
states large and may prove the deciding factor in the
election
Thousands of Negroes will support both major par
ties while many other will vote for the Communist
ddates the FarmerLabortes the National Union Party
the Socialists Every citizen has the right to vote
his conscience and best judgment dictate.
AS a racial group, have great opportunity to use
good in the approaching election and make bal
lots count for something to to vote for the
didates whom have to believe will make the best
public officials, regardless of political afflation.

After prayerful and earnest con-
sideration we have come to the
firm conviction that we should ad-
dress a joint appeal from the pas
tors of all faiths, urging the united
support of our people for former
Governor WILDER M. Brucker, Re-
publican candidate for United
States Senator in the coming cleo
ton. In arriving at this conclusion
we have not been guided by party
allegiance, but rather by our unit
ed loyalty to our race.
The time has passed when any
political party can expect colored
voters to give solid support purely
on the basis of its past services to

forward rather than backward, and
we will naturally hold divided
opinions as to many political is
sues.
But there Is one issue upon

civil rights for every citizen, re-
gardless of race, nationality, or re-
ligion. Especially among our peo-
pie, who have suffered from whole
sale and unreasonable discrimina-
ton, there is no room for compro-
mise on this question.
No candidate for so high an Of
flee as United States Senator has
ever come forward so plain-spok-

offered so constructive a program
for our benefit. Governor Brucker
has publicly declared for a strong
anti-lynching law, and has pro-
missed to introduce and fight for
the passage Of bills to open a pro-
portionate share of Federal govern
ment positions for our people. He
also favors the establishment of
Negro units in the National Guard,
and has taken up the fight for
equal educational opportunities for
our people in the South.
1t required highest courage for

on our behalf. He has definitely

ASKS BRUCKER'S RECORD


Oct. rs, 1886
Detroit Tribune
2146 st. Antoine.
Dear Editor:
Being a subscriber and reader
of your great paper, l read an OPP
en- letter written by some OF our
ministers, in the October II and
October "a, issues, appealing to
their fellow-eitizens who are vot-
ers, and calling the voters atten-
ton to their best interests in this
coming election.
They have made but one endorse
ment. They ask the voters to sup
port the candidacy of Mr.. Wilbur
Mr. Brucker, for U. S. Senate. They
are asking the voters to support
Mr.. Brucker, because Wilbur
M. Brucker has promised that If
he is elected, he will introduce
bill to require that Negroes shall
receive their fair share of all civil
service and other federal appoint
ments, in poportion to their num-
Der in the total population.
Now, that promise and a few
others sound good. l think the
voters are more interested in Mr.
Brucker's record. What | would
like to know is this-Did Mr.
Brucker sponsor such promises,
when he was Governor of Michigan?
What did he do about fair play
here in Michigan?
Yours,
(Signed)

ALLEYFUND FIGHT
Effort to Restore $780, 600
Sum to Deficiency Bill
to Be Pressed.

With Senator Capper, Republican,
of Kansas taking the lead. every ef-
fort will be made to have the Senate
Appropriations Committee restore to
the pending deficiency bill the $780,
900 needed to prevent crippling of
the work of the Alley Dwelling Au-

A Senate subcommittee headed by
Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, will begin hearings at 1890 am.
tomorrow on the measure, the main
feature Of which is the administra-
tion's sl,425 100000 allotment to keep
w. P. A. going.
The House committee omitted the
alley dwelling fund on the theory
Congress did not intend to supple
ment the 100000 given the agency
originally.
Senator Capper, who, as former
chairman of the Senate District Com
mittee, took leading part in the en-
actment of the legislation to rehabili-
tate the inhabited alleys of the Capital,
said today it was intended that addi-
tional funds would be made available.
1t was not contemplated, he said, that
the original appropriation would pro-
vide sufficient revolving fund for the

ment work.
I'VE cannot let this fine work stop

Workers Also Seek Extra for
Observation-Disclosures Is As
signed to Controversy.

Two strikes of automobile mechanics
were begun here today and several
others were threatened in various
plants as organized labor pressed its
demands for higher wages and shorter
hours.
The Automobile Mechanics Union
early today called a strike OF rs men
at the Ourisman Chevrolet Sales Co.,
6l0 H street northeast. Before noon
the union also withdrew all its
mechanics from the r. L. Taylor Mo-
tor Co., Fourteenth and T streets.
Strikers at the Ourisman plant want
90 cents an hour and 44-hour week,
it was stated by Oliver N. Garrison,
business agent of Local 1913 OF the
International Association OF Machin-
lists, who called the strike. They also
are demanding time and half for
overtime, including Saturday after
moons and Sundays.
Asked Work Be Completed.
Benjamin Ourisman, president OF
the company, said he had asked the
men at a meeting yesterday to take
care of the work now under way in
the shop, and he would meet with a
committee to arbitrate the matter
The men refused, he said.
His company now is paying the
men on the basis of one-third of the
amount charged the customer for
labor. This means that on so-called
piece work" the men get one-thlrd
of the 50 an hour charged the GUS
toner, or 6623 cents an hour. With
the amount of work on hand in the
shop, Ourisman said, the average
earnings run to about S35 week. and
some were making more than $50 a
week.
Garrison complained that the men
were being worked at Ourisman's as
long as from so to so hours week.
5o-Cent Wage Scale Cited.
In some other shops, where it was
expected the strike would be called
today, Garrison said the men were
being paid so cents an hour.
The Labor Department Cancellation
Service has been called into the situ-
alton, it was learned. Howard T. Col
vim, gconciliator, who has been instru-
mental in ironing out many labor dis
putes here. has been assigned to the
task.
Meantime, Ouirsman began prep
arations to pay off the strikers.
There was a possibility new crew
of men would be hired as soon as
possible to take care of the work in
the shop, Ourisman said.
