Ancient q
Mayas Kept
1hahksgiyingD

WY HEN football fans turn out
w for the Thanksgiving games
they will perhaps realize that
they are conforming with an old
American custom, but do they know
how old that custom is? asks a
writer in the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
Thanksgiving football games
we're instituted in America about
1000 B. C. The custom began
among the ancient Mayas, who, al
though they did not eat mince pie
or sit in concrete stadiums, did
dine on turkey and did set aside
a day on which they offered up
the first fruits of the harvest sea-
son, Toasted and played, or watched
a ball game in a stone-walled en-
closure.
The department of middle Amer
lean research at Tulane university
has discovered that the Magyar
games were like ours in many re-
spects. Just as fans today travel
for miles to see the Thanksgiving
games, so did our predecessors on
this continent journey across tn e
land, on foot or horseback, to
Chichen-Itza, holy city of the
Mayas, to view the holiday spec
tacle.
In his description of the Magyar
game, Maurice Refs, on the staff
of the department of middle Amer
lean research at Tulane, says:
GAS it began when Rome ruled
the waves and Frenchmen wore
bear skins as their Sunday best,
football wasn't just football. That
is, the ball wasn't kicked with the
foot and the scores were produced
by persuading the ball to pass
through a perpendicular ring high
on a stone wall"
When the thousands of pilgrims
who came every year arrived at
Chichen liza, they offered sacri-

IN EVERY family, whether little
L or large, and however small or
spacious the dwelling may be,
there are times when conflicts
arise because of unwanted con-
facts. Some special place may
be desired above all others by one,
or possibly two, in conference and
a second or third person coming
in and wanting that particular
room also is a cause of dissension.
There may be no lack of affection
between the people, but a tenn
porary ruffling of personalities
which is disturbing. When living
quarters are congested, the e
occasions arise frequently, but
they are not limited to such con-
ditions. There are these con-
vergencies, with their annoying
discords, regardless of space, or
the lack of it, and numbers of
persons, or the fewness of them.
1t would appear to be partly a
similarity of tastes as well as
the popularity of the spot, what
ever it is, that was an element
of the magnetic force drawing the
people together.
Transient Dissension.
It is true that instances are rare
in which such trouble is more
than a passing dissension. But
this is enough to set the persons
in bad humors for few moments
anyway, unless one or more of
them has enough understanding
of the situation to smooth others,
or has a keen sense of humor,
which sense is like oil to ma
chinery in keeping things running
without friction.
Congeniality.
It should be remembered that
congenality is one cause for this
conveyance of persons. The same
things are liked, the same inn
pulses are present, and enjoyment

fees to the earth gods in an inn
pressive thanksgiving ceremony led
by the ruler.
"The earth gods" says Alfredo
Barrera Vasquez, of the stats of
the Mexican National Museum and
the National University Of Mexico,
who is of Maya descent, "are called
the Four Bacabs and are repre-
scented as supporting the four cor
ners of the earth. Each god has
an appropriate color: red for the
east where the sun rises, black for
the west where it sinks into dark
ness, yellow for the warm south
and white for the cold north. Yum
K'ax, Lord of the Forest, resides
at the center of the universe and
is characterized by the colors blue
and green" t
The Thanksgiving ceremonies still
take place in some parts of Mexico
today, although most of the old GUS
toms are dominated by the Catholic
influence.
The name of the principal god
of the harvest is lost. However,
we have many representations Of
him on ancient monuments. He
is always depicted as being young
and handsome, symbolic of life and
growth. From his head grows maize
instead of hair.

and discord are both caused by
much the same things. Each OF
these persons is drawn to the
same things and to the same
places, and so naturally meet in
the same room in the home, or
the identical spot. If there is the
desire to be alone, resentment is
stirred by the presence of an
other. 1t is at such times that
tact and kindness are needed.
am assuming that love is not lack
ing. Without this essential ele-
ment in home life, there will be
discord anywhere and at any time,
if not, indeed, at all times.
Loneliness.
When harmony is desired, and
clashes of temperaments of those
caused by such things as are under
discussion today, exist, it is well
to bring oneself up with a round
turn by thinking of the loneliness
that would be felt if we did moi
have our family about us. During
absences from home, or when one
is left there when others are away,
the realization of what it means
to be alone and also together,
creeps into the mind and it is
warmed by the very thought Of
companionship of dear ones.

Southern "Chivalry''

Traditionally, the men of the South have pro-
fessed to hold nothing more sacred and inviol-
able than its womanhood. Chivalry, in full
flower in pre-Civil war days, is still the proud
boast Of every self-respecting male below the
Mason and Dixon line.
What a sad reflection, then, is the flogging
of a 23-year-old white woman, presumably by
a group of Arkansas plantation owners, upon
this tradition of the Old South. How disgust
ing, too, the editorial in the Earle, Arkansas
Enterprise" condoning the flogging.
Sue Blagden, %, daughter of a prominent
Memphis, Tenn, family, and Rev. Claude c..
Williams, an ordained Presbyterian minister Of
Little Rock, Arkansas, drove to Earle, Ark, to
investigate the reported death of a negro share
cropper who was said to have been beaten to
death in a planters attack on a Sharecroppers'
Union picket line.

Bad Manners

Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina
apparently wants to fight the Civil war all over
again. Twice he walked out of the Democratic
National Convention at Philadelphia because a
negro was permitted to speak.
The last time Senator Smith took a walk he
said he was gone for good because of the con-
v%ention's acceptance of the negro on terms of
political equality"
The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ion Of the United States, Senator Smith should
be informed, reads as follows:
"The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
state on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude."
The fire-eating, stiff-necked Senator from
South Carolina succeeded in doing nothing more
than make himself ridiculous by his stupid hos
tility.
He sought to raise a racial issue when there
was nothing involved. He displayed bad taste
and worse manners.
Democrats Of the type Of Senator Smith are
responsible for the continued DISTINGUISHING of
the negro in the South and the denial to the
negro of opportunities for lettering their con-
dition.
1t i'll behooves them to grow indignant when
negroes who have overcome the handicaps that
face their race are given recognition.

KANSAS CITY Mo.-(FD)-"This

This was the warning which Rev. l..
M Birkhead, minister OF the Kansas
City Liberal Center, received recently
over the telephone. DR.. Birkhead, for
merly the public's representative on the
regional labor board and at present an
arbitrator in the ladies' garment in
dustry, has received threatening let
tiers headed CRUSADER White Shirts,
Chattanooga, Tenn" One letter said
midwest headquarters OF the Crusader
White Shirts are in Kansas City.
BirNhead is investigating seven
Fascist-type organizations operating in
Kansas City: Crusader White Shirts
military auxiliary Of the American
Fascists), Black Shirts, Friends Of New
Germany, Silver Shirts, S%entinels Of the
Republic, Christian Vigilantes and Ger
man-American Citizens.
The Black Legion is operating main
ly in the industrial section OF the city
which includes the Ford and Sheffield
steel plants. About 800 have signed
the legion oath in blood taken from the
lobe Of their ears. A mai who refused
to join has told Of receiving death
threats. Possible links with the Citi-
zens Protective Council, Employers
organization, are being sought. There
have been several k%idnapings, beatings
and murders OF union organizers during

PRODUCTION FOR = USE
ACT FILED in WASH
INGTON STATE

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington
Commonwealth Federation officials
have filed with the secretary of state
for review the "production-for-use act
OF 1886" an initiative measure to the
support OF which the organization is
rallying its forces to collect 100000 sig
natures.
The act which is proposed to submit
to the states voters declares that "it
is necessary that a planned economy be
established, based upon production for
use rather than for profit" As ex-
planned by the Washington Common
wealth, it would set up four production
districts in the state, with authority to
acquire production facilities and mar
ket the output through a state COM
mission.
Script would be issued against the
market value of the goods, and work.
ers in such state enterprises would be
paid half in cash and half in script.
Jobs would be given first to the EN-
playable unemployed and then to un-
derpaid workers unable to earn a de-
cent living in private industry. Retail
outlets would be favored which showed
a disposition to cooperate in %exchang-
ing products for script.

were forced to drive out Of the city by six
well-dressed men. Taken to a river bottom,
they were questioned as to whom they came to
see. Not wishing to expose anyone else to pos
sible violence, they refused to give the name Of
their expected informant.
Then Rev. Williams brief case was rifled and
he was led away and severely beaten with a
heavy leather strap, described as part of a mules
harness.
The men returned and told Miss Blagden,
Nov it's your turn" She was struck four
vicious blows with the mule harness strap.
Later. medical examination of Miss Blagden
showed serious five, inch-wide bruises across her
back and thighs.
The young woman was put on a train by her
a~ssailants and Rev. Williams was later released.
1t was "a hours, however, before any Of his
friends knew whether or not he was alive.
About this brutal affair, the Earle Enterprise
makes the following editorial comment:
cit is true that a few foreign agitators
representing the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union have felt the sting of a backhand APP
piled where it would do the most good.
This method has produced results where all
other remedies less drastic have failed.
tenants are all on the JoD ana DAY labor
ers are plentiful and glad to work for rs
cents a day instead of the $1.5O demanded by
the union.
"The greatest hue and cry arises from
the fact that a white woman was forced to
endure the ~indignity of a light whipping.
Opinions vary as to the wisdom of this act.
1t is hard for us to condone the action.
However, there is no doubt, but what the
woman was completely out of her place"
What are Americans with a shred of decency
left in their makeup to say of a situation Of
this kind? What kind Of men are these that
resort to violence against two defenseless peo-
pie, one of them a white woman, because they
sympathize with the efforts of poverty-stricken
share troopers to raise themselves from a Is
cent a day starvation wage in the cotton fields ?
Southern chivalry departed when it was a
case of protecting an economic right" to ex-
plot Southern labor. And how completely GER
tain editors are under the domination of the
plantation owners is demonstrated in the edi-
torial which finds it hard to condone" but
nevertheless condones the Tight whipping" of
a white woman, herself Southerner, and exults
in the fact that there is plenty Of 75-cents-a- day

N. l.. r. B. SUFFERS BLOW
FROM FEDERAL CIR
QUIT u

Observation-Disclosures link was
forged in the armor of labor hating
employers when the sixth Circuit Court
Of Appeals turned down a National
Labor Relations Board petition for en-
forcement OF an order against the
Fruehauf Trailer Co. of Detroit, Michi-
gan.
The court held that the Fruehauf
Trailer Co., which manufactures the
large t~railers used by trucks to trans
port goods all over the country, was
not in interstate commerce as defined
by the Supreme Court. 1t cited the
Supreme Courts decision in the Guffey
coal act and the Circuit Court decision
in the Jones and Laughlin case as prec-
edent.
The decision was met philosophically
by N. L. R. B. officials. 1t was point
ed out, however, that the Fruehauf Co.
had been found guilty Of using all the
tricks known to labor hating industry
in order to prevent unionization. Spies
were employed and company officials
refused point blank to have any deal
ings with the unions.
Decision of the court, sitting in Gin
c%innati, was seen as another blow
against the N. l.. r. B., although no
ruling was specifically made on the
constitutionality Of the act, which will
prove a further obstacle in the path OF
the Board when it appears for final
judgment before the Supreme Court.

BASIL HUNT FAIR
In UNION TRIALS

Basil Hunt, who is candidate for
Sheriff on the Republican ticket, is a
Butte man, and familiar with the pc
culiar psychology OF the people of Sill
yer Bow County. In explanation OF
this sentence it should be said that the
unions of Butte and their problems en-
ter largely into all social and business
transactions. Basil Hunt understands
this.
In the numerous conferences that he
has had with union members in re-
CARDS to wages, working conditions and
the aims which the unions have sought,
he has al all times tried to protect his
employees and others from being in
volved in direct violations of the union
He has always refrained from submit
ting them to any embarrassment if he
could possibly avoid it. Many Of the
trade unions thoroughly understand
this sympathetic and understanding
trait Of Mr.. Hunt. AT times he has
battled his superior officers in main
tanning this attitude.
