NEGRO CONGRESS
WINS CLEVELAND
LABOR FOR RACE

CLEVELAND, o. CCNA)-The
Cleveland Federation of Labor al
It's last meeting appointed q com-
mittee of sixteen to organize Ne
gro workers into trade unions. The
Federation had previously endors-
ed the resolution calling for abol-
itoin of all jim-crow bars in A. F.
of L. Unions which was offered by
A. Philip Randolph, president CT
the Brotherhood OF Sleeping Car
Porters, at the last convention of
the A. F. Of L.
Both the endorsement of the
Randolph resolution and the pre-
sent move by the Cleveland FEEDER
alton to organize the Negro work.
ers are due to the persistent work
of the Labor Committee of the
Cleveland Council of the National
Negro Congress.
Since the formation of the Con-
gress, members OF the Labor COM
nlittee and the secretary. Maude
White. herself a delegate to the
Cleveland Federation of Labor,
have visited local white labor lead
ers convincing them of the neces-
sity of extending the benefits Of

SAY VANN PULLED
FAST ONE ON
OLYMPICS TRIP

NEW YORK-(C)-The sudden.
ness with which Robert L. Vann
became a sports writer and sailed
away to cover the Olympics for his
newspa ger left Harlem politicians
gasping for breath. In all mis- TWEEN
ty years as editor of his newspa
per, nc one had ever known Vann
to harbor the desire to be sports
expert. However, Harlemites who
have made up their minds 10 watch
every move of the foxy Pittsburgh
er, think they have figured out why
Vann left the country after prom
ising he would have the campaign
under way by August 1. The way
the Harlemites dope it out is this
The National Bar Association, with
which Vann has never cooperated
very closely. although he is OUT
standing in the legal profession, is
meeting in Vann's home city from
August to 8. If Vann was any
where in the United States he could
not possibly explain his absence
from that meeting, so it is believed
Vann decided to be sitting in Ber-
lin, Germany, on those dates and
have a perfect alibi from what
might prove to be an embarrassing
situation. 1t is known that many
prominent Republicans are mem
bers of tue Bar Association, and
when it comes time to draw up
resolutions, some endorsements
might be made which Vann might
not approve. 1t would be inhospit-
able to oppose the visitors, so vann
is just not sat home"

SEES NO NEED TO
RAISE RACE issue
IN SENATE RACE

DURHAM. N. C.-(Calvin Ser
vice)-Dr. James e. Shepard pres
ident Of the North Carolina Col
lege, who has become noted as a
writer of letters to governors on
questions of vital interest to the
Negro. has written Governor Tain
adge of Georgia and told him, Il
polite language, to get off" the
race question in the present cam
paign for the u. S. Senate. The
partial text of DIR. Shepard's let
ter, dated July 10 and addressed
to Governor Talmadge at Atlanta.
Ca, follows:
I'm writing to you as a non-res-
ident of Georgia recall one Of the
Proverbs of Solomon, which reads:
He that passeth by, and meddleth
with strife not belonging to him.
is like one that taketh a dog by
the ears
But since the strife into which
enter is the race controversy I
think everybody VIII agree that it
affects profoundly and everywhere
the white and colored people of the
country, and because believe it
does, I am making this appeal to
you.
THE newspapers OF your State
say that for the first time in 10
years there Is a stir in Georgia
politics over the Negro. It Is not
contended that any member of my
race his misused the few and poor
privileges accorded him BY tie
laws and practices of the State IF
Georgia. I have read quite num-
Der of extracts from your speeches.
do not find in them any charges
that such conditions as you attacl.
are in the slightest measure pre-
cil,itated by the Negroes Of Geor-
gia or elsewhere. I observe with
something of shock that you
have sworn eternal hostility to GER
tain fanciful honors and recogpi-
lions that may come to the Negro
often wonder why Governors of
our Southern States do not become
much more excited over rights and
privileges accorded our Negro citi-
zens by our Federal and State COZ
stitutions, our congresses and leg
islatures, but universally denied in
practice, than over things that TIE
Negro cannot hope to gain during
the lifetime of any adult today?
81 wonder, too, what the indus
trious, the intelligent and the law
abiding members of my race must
do to win your friendship to the
extent that you will use your great
office to guarantee them their
rights? What price must they pay
to have peace, rest from cease
less agitation against them, the
right to participate in the affairs
of this country into which they
were brought against their viii,
and freedom from exploitation in
our politics? If there is a Negro

CONDOR MAY BE IN
GOVERNOR RACE

Another figure has doomed up as
possible candidate of Governor
on the Republican side, that of R.
w. (Dick) Condor, who is a resi-
dent of Kitsap County. This time
t is really a fact, that it is the
office seeking the man and not the
man the office. Condor himself has
taken no part in the movement
But a number OF men IN looking
over the record are attempting to
present to him such demand on
the part of leaders as well as the
rank and file of the party, that he
viii be almost compelled to re-
spond.
Condor has served the public in
many capacities. For many years
he was an efficient member Of the
state senate. He has been national
committeeman and at present Is
serving as secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee. Besides all
this he has for many years been a
successful business man and fair
and equitable employer of labor.
His interest in the lumber and log
ging industry has a number Of
times called him to the national
capitol. where his efforts have been
successfully directed toward secur-
ing the proper protection to the
lumber and logging industries,
thereby furnishing employment to
labor.

Prove That Judge Did
Use Lynching Threat


HARRISBURG, Pa.-M5ss of the
witnesses who testified here July p
before a subcommittee of the
House judiciary general committee
agreed that Judge B. c. Atlee. Of
Lancaster. Pa, did tell a colored
prisoner on July 10:
HAD they 1.-THE citizens) lynched
you they would have been justi-
f,ed.n
The most positive testimony as
to what Judge Atlee said was CIV
en- BY Summer v. Hosterman. form
or district attorney of Lancaster
cotn ty. Mr.. Hosterman said Judge
Atlee made the following remarks
in substantially this language:
This Is one Of the most despite
able offenses ever brought before
the local court. 1t is no credit to
the people Of Columbia that they
allowed you to be here in court to-
day.
Had they lynched you they
would have been justified. say
that although I am sitting here to
administer justice. 1t Is most for
tunate for you that this offense
occurred North OF the Mason and
Dixon LinsS No court has to both
er with cafes Of your kind South
Of that line"
Whereas other witnesses had
testified Judge Atlee made re-
marks similar to the above. and
stated they could not remember
that Judge Atlee used the words
lynch or @lvnching.1 Mr.. Hos
terman was positive that Judge
Atlee used the sentence: Had they
lynched you they would have been
Justified
Mr. Hosterman added that he
thought at the time and still thinks
the remark Of the judge was very
indiscreet.
Four colored witnesses testified
they heard the judge say: IF you
were on the other side of the Mia
som Dixon line, no court would
have to bother with your case.
However, these witnesses. curious
" enough, failed to remember Of
hearing anything about lynching.
One young white attorney, who
was an unwilling witness, profess
ed that he could not remember the
words Of Judge Atlee, but, The final
~ admitted that he got the i'm
precision Of lynching in his mind
from the general import Of the
judges remarks.
Miss Beatrice Pollock, probation
office said "all the people, white
and COZ Ted. in Lancaster" approx
ed Of what Judge Atlee said but
under questioning from COMMITTEES
members she admitted she had
talked to only four or five colored
people. Representative Brown made
a strong statement as she was
testifying. and declared that if the
whole Of Lancaster county approx
ed the remarks on lynching, they
were still improper for judge to
make from the bench.
In his concluding statement, Mr.
Millen called for the Impeachment
Of Judge Atlee, pointing out the
danger of having citizens encour-
aged by a judge to lynch persons
accused of crime. Mr.. Brown, in
his statement, cited the more than
5000 lynchings that have occurred
IN America and asked Pennsylvania
not to encourage the crime by
keeping a man as judge who OPEN
" advocated lynching in his court
room. Mr.. Brown declared Judge
Atlee had violated his oath of Of
flee and should be inpeached.
