HUTCHINSON, LEWIS FOE, RE.
SIGNS A. F. OF L. COUNCIL

Washington-(FP) - William L.
Hutcheson, president of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, has resigned his post on
the executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and as 10th
vice president of the federation. VIM.
Green, president of the A. F. of l..
announced here.
Hutcheson, who was the bitterest
foe of John L. Lewis and the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization on
the council, resigned, Green said, be-
cause he felt that it was wrong to
have two members of one union on
the council and because press of
business kept him from attending the
council meetings at which the re-
port to the f~ederation's annual CON
vention is being drawn up. Hut
cheson, according to Green, felt that
he could not subscribe to a report in
the drafting of which he played no
part.

so-called wheeler ticket" in the
general election; he was bitterly
attacked from the platforms
throughout the state for the opinion,
and was defeated. Cooper was de-
feated for nomination when he came
up; the other two justices served
until death.
I cannot see how in the face of
such a splendid record there should
be any controversy about the merit
of Justice Matthews appeal to labor.
I am inclined to think that the
opposition of the firemen is merely a
temporary emotional manifestation
of the pangs of Illustration resulting
from the Arnold case, which was be-
yond the power of the court, with
the retention of any degree of judi
cial integrity, to prevent.
l have been informed by certain
members of organized labor that
candidate Angstman came to them
and said, Il am for Labor; if elected
| will make an investigation to de-
termine whether a laboring man is
interested in each case, and when I
find that there is, my decision will
be for him" l hesitate to believe
that Ex-Justice Angstman has made
any such statement.
But, if this statement forms the
basis of your affection for him, l
have only this to say, l have nothing
but suspicion of a man who INDUCES
in this sort of vote batting cam
paign drivel, and nothing but pity
for the simplicity it deceives. It pre-
sents no honest argument to any
person possessed of a modicum of
reason or intelligence; it is merely
an appeal to the interest of those
who are inclined to think with the
%alimentary canal.
In conclusion l merely ~reiterate
what I stated in my previous COM
munication, "That no laboring man
who has his own interest at heart,
and prizes judicial probity, can af-
ford to cast his ballot for other than
John Matthew'S" based upon an i'm
partial scrutiny of his record as a
member of the Supreme bench.

state of business, which he is re-
cording several times daily, clashes
with his own newspapers daily re-
cital of new factories going up, such
as the General Motors biggest as
sembly plant in New Jersey; new
highs in production sales, such as
the circumstance that the Kansas
farmers will get nearly three times
as much for their crops this year as
they did last year; balance sheets
that approach boom-time reports;
resumption of corporation dividends,
and Government bonds at a high
premium that were far below par
a few years ago. But this situation
is really not more grotesque than
the presentation of his chief that
the pail of ruin hangs not only over
us but owe posterity indefinitely
as for example:
THE creation of a staggering pub
lie debt closes the door of oppor-
tunity to the youth of America.
The present administrations daily
mounting deficits are closing the
door of opportunity to your children
and my children"
The Still Missing Bill of Particulars
The President of the United
States, backed by the figures of the
United States Treasury, reports that
the mounting tide of business is
bringing in such revenues to the
Government that, if the present
trend continues, there will be no
necessity for higher taxes, and that
the national debt will be taken care
of in the ordinary orderly course of
affairs. I%ncidently, our national debt
does not approach the figures of
various other comparable countries
and comparable populations. The
generation of today did not find the
door of opportunity shut in its face
by the huge wartime deficits of
twenty years ago, and the genera
ion of twenty years hence will prob
ably wonder-if it thinks about it
at all-what Governor Landon and
the other prophets of disaster were
dreaming about when they voiced
their nightmares.
Also incidentally neither the
gloomy Chicago Colonel nor the
pessimistic Governor of Kansas has
given any of us a hint what they
would do to avert the threatened
chaos if the age of miracles had not
passed and they got the chance to
work on the problems of Govern
ment. The only thing they are GER
tain of is that they could do what
the Roosevelt administration is do
ing better and cheaper. All the
cataclysms they prophesy are con-
tingent, of course, on the result of
the election. Elect them and there
will be no more droughts or floods;
no more unemployment; the poor
will be relieved of taxes and the
rich will have their tax burdens SO
lightened that we will have a new
and bigger crop of millionaires; the
stock market will tower, with no
danger of a reverse and the farmer
will get all he is getting now and as
much more as is good for him.
Once upon a time, runs an old tale,
one of the audience at a great violin
recital criticized the performer.

Twin Citians Pay
Honor to Phyllis

A crowd of people about equally
divided between the colored and
white groups filled the gymnasium
at Phyllis Wheatley last Tuesday
night upon the occasion of the 18th
annual dinner given under the aus
pices OF the Phyllis auxiliary.
The tables pleasingly decorated
seated many of the best known
men and women of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. The dinner was ex-
ceptionally well cooked and the
guests were vocal in their appre-
citation. The head resident, Miss
w. Gertrude Brown, was most con-
siderate in her annual report,
speaking Of those matters only
that were obviously most impor-
tant and interesting. Entertain
ment during the progress of the
dinner was given by Miss Kath-
crime Mitchell in vocal and instru-
mental selections on the piano. A
musical band composed of small
infants with a diminutive. leader
won rounds Of hearty applause.
Following the dinner a play was
presented by a group of young
dramatists. It was an amusing
sdt producing many laughs and
many concentrations. The chorus,
developed from WPA workers of
Phyllis sang several numbers and
did them well. Altogether it was
well arranged and colorful af-
fair and the thanks Of the presi-
dent of the Auxiliary was given in
generous measure to the staff, the
Community Fund and all whose
contributions made it possible.

Dean and Johnson, a team of

Urban League
Holds Fine Inter-
racial Meet

The Urban Leaguer's inter-
racial meet at Westminster Church
Wednesday night brought together
a gathering especially satisfactory,
in view of the very cold weather.
This same brand of disagreeable
weather prevented the appearance
of the scheduled speaker, DR.. Ed.
A. Steiner of Grinnell College.
Rabbi Minda, chairman of the
committee responsible for the
meeting, was fortunate in securing
the Rev. David Bryn-Jones of Trim
ity Baptist Church to substitute
for the principal speaker, and his
talk left little to be desired by
the most captious critic. Clarence
R. Clancy, president of the Twin
City League, set forth briefly the
aims, objects and accomplishments
of the society. The Phyllis Wheat
ley Glee Club sang several num-
bers effectively. Rev. II. w. Bolts
of Zion, pronounced the benedic-
ton. An invitation was extended

CAMPBELL IS COLORED

American race and color pref
udice is perhaps the most curious
phenomena this side of Mars. Or
dinarily the Negro is branded as
such in the public prints. But in
the case of E. Simms Campbell,
the youthful genius who won the
Hearst cartoon prize of $1,000, in
the numerous long articles, detail
ing his career from childhood
through public and high school,
and even marriage, no mention of
color was made. And no photo
graph of Mr.. Campbell was pub
1ished.t .. .-.
Why couldn't Arthur Brisbane,
highly paid Hearst chief editorial
writer, wax eloquent over Camp
bell? No, it would spoil his ego
rilla" and ''hippopotamus eating
theories. Mr.. Brisbane's own paper
pays colored boy $1,000 for his
highly touted mental work." and
dares not mention his color. Yet
the Scottsboro boys were head
lined as Negroes" in the same
paper.
On the one hand, Negroes must
fight against color; and on the
other, they must battle to be
known as colored.
Too bad the thousands of white
youth who read of CampbelPs feat,
and assumed he was white, could
not know the truth. That would
have been a telling blow against
lynching and discrimination. Of
course Hearst editors know that
only too well.-Calvin's Column.

CHURCH ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION

Last Thursday a new scoring
threat was uncovered in the person
of Warren "Stubby" Kingsbury
who, with ten points, led the way
in Border victory over Russell
Lutheran, 1920. The boys entered
the game with the determination
not to permit a recurrence of
their defeat last Monday, suffered
at the hands Of Fremont Congrega-
tional. This game ended the first
round of the tournament and found
Border tied with st. Marks Luth-
eran for first place.
The tie was, however, broken on
Monday evening when Border tri-
umphed over st. Marks to go into
the undisputed league lead. "Spark
Plug" Strawder scored ten of his
teammates points in their 27-1G
victory. The end of the first halt
found the st. Marks boys trailing
by a score of 1910, and not until
the substitutes were sent in fol-
relief did they penetrate the Dor.
der defense. Monday the boy:
from Border will attempt to repeat
their early season victory over
Fourth Baptist on the Phyllis
Wheatley floor.

"A PLEASING SOCIAL EVENING

The Gospel Chorus Of Bethesda
enjoyed last Monday evening an
other of its delightful social meet
ings, this time as the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Il. Reddick,
Gil E. 22nd st. The fun was so in
fectious that the director forgot
the matter of rehearsal and the
only singing was the closing ode
sung just as the happy group took
its way homeward. One Of the
amusing stunts was a murder trial
in which Mrs. Julia Grimes, defense
attorney, developed a legal bent of
pleasing character, but did not
clear her client. Acting as Judge,
Floyd Make contributed greatly
to the fun with his quasi-legal de-
cisions. Earl Sims and Scotty Fai-
son put on a skit in which inimita-
BILE wit and considerable nerve
made fine piece of comedy. The
pastor, his wife and W. M. Smith,
unofficial members Of the chorus,
were part of the evenings enter

buffet style, were just too good,
completing an evening that partici-
pants declared "the best ever"
