Mitchell Scored
For Opposition
To Lynch Bill

Chicago-(ANP)-Walter White
national secretary of the NAACP,
in an address here Monday night
at Metropolitan Community church,
roundly scored Congressman Ar
thur w. Mitchell, lone Negro MEM
Der of Congress for failing to rem
der assistance to the association
in its fight to secure pre-passage
of Federal anti-lynching legisla-
ton in the present session OF Con-
gress.
White pointed out that not a
single congressman from the State
of Illinois has signed the petition
which would bring the anti-lynch-
ing legislature to the floor of Con-
gress and declared that nearly all
of these Democratic Congressman
indicated that they were being
guided by their cooperation with
Mr.. Mitchell"
The speaker declared that de-
spite the expected opposition from
the boroughs of the deep South,
whose Congressman all commend
Rep. Mitchell for his lack of en-
thusiasm if not actual opposition,
there were definite reasons to be-
lieve that the Legislation would
pass if it was brought to vote.
To date, he said, every scheme to
side-track the anti-lynch bill had
been defeated by the NAACP, and
while Rep. Mitchell points with
pride" to the praise he has receiv-
ed from Southern Congressman,
White pointed out that the asso-
citation might we'll feel proud of the
fact that these same southern con-
gressmen called the NAACP their
worst enemy"
Local officials of the association
are asking residents here TO write
or telegraph all the congressman
from the city Of Chicago, asking
them to bring this legislation to
the floor of Congress. Interested
persons can receive any further in
formation they desire by contact
ing the local office, NAACP, BASS
S. State Street, in the Binga
Acade Building.

A. NJ. SHOATS
ADDRESSES
TRADE GROUP

A large assemblage of Detroit's
business and professional men
and women was present at the
MONDAY Luncheon Club of the
Booker T. Washington Trade AS
ISOLATION, Wednesday, to hear A.
M. Shoats speak on where Do We
Go From Here-And How?"
Mr.. Shoats was well-informed.
He was the first chairman of the
Chicago Rotary Club, which was
organized about 30 years ago, and
Is, at present, divisional chairman
Of the Investors Syndicate of Mimi
eapolis.
In opening his address, the speak
er stated that in answering the
question, Where Do We Go From
Here-And How?" the internation-
al, and personal phases must be
taken into consideration.
He said, further;"We need to
take a perspective OF the situation:
that is, we must reconstruct the
oSChO VI WHCIt we nave Depn and
how we got there, before we can
find out where we are going from
here-and how?"
Mr.. Shoats said, eve must build
reserves in business, to rely upon
in time of need. We must also
keep a sound financial cushion to
enable you to meet any adversely"
Besides being Informative, Mr..
Shoat's lecture had the additional
entertaining quality of humor.
Among other things, he said that
during the boom" period when
everything was plentiful Ameri-
cans had an insufficient vocabu-
larry to express joy, so the words,
"boop-boop-a-doop" and "vo-do-de-
o-do" were added.
The luncheon was brought to a
close with rendition Of baritone
solo, by d. c. Lee.

boiling in retribution.
Although showing a strength Of
only 400 registered voters in Flo
rida's largest city, the white men,
bers of the party announced that
they would hold a primary for
white Republicans, and called their
state convention. When several
Negro Republicans, some of them
founders OK the party in Florida,
presented themselves at the door,
they were brusquely told that
we've been given orders not to
admit YOU"
Eartha White, a woman who has
belonged to the party here for more
than 40 years and who was elected
to an executive position some time
ago and not accredited by the
white body, defied the assemblage
to keep her out and was seated. A
large delegation from all over the
state, however, appeared later and
was refused admittance.
Swift retribution was immediate
ly visited on Florida's new lily
white Republicans here this week
when the returns from registra-
tons were counted and it was
found that more than one-third OF
the total Negro registrants had
bolted the party and registered
independent"
White Republicans now have
only 400 pledged votes as compared
with 1000 Negroes whose votes are
uncertain. The organization Of a
statewide body of colored voters,
also, is causing CONSERVATION in
the ranks of the politicians who
until this time knew which way the
Negro voters would cast their bal
lots.

GRAINS ARE LED
| BY CASH MARKETS
BoyIan Says Steady Gain in
1886 Made Growers
Chief Beneficiaries.
BY ROBERT p. BOYLAN,

Fortunately for our great farming
areas, price upturns in all grains were
substantial and steady throughout
the harvesting periods and grain
growers, as q result, were the prin-
cipal beneficiaries.
in all grains, and at all times, the
cash markets have dominated the
situation rather than any speculative
activity.
Regardless of substantial advances
in futures contracts. the cash mar
kets have kept ahead. Highest prices
for all grain futures were registered
late In the year, the main incentive
being the persistent absorption Of
cash grain at material premiums over
the futures.
1t is important to the future out.

The soy bean crop, from the stand

PRIVATE BUILDING
AGAIN IN front
Decreasing Dominance OF
Public Projects in Total
Likely to Continue.
(By Cambridge Associates)


The most significant development o1
1886 was the decreasing dominance
of public financing in the general
construction figures. 1t is trend that
can be expected to become more
manifest.
That does not mean that govern
ments, other than Federal, are likely
to spend less for building than they
have in the recent past. Probably
they will spend more But the in
crease in private building. residential
and non-residential. is returning us
to something like the old predepres-
sion relationship.
So much discussion has centered
on public building activities that it
has been the seneral impression that
expenditures were far in excess of
normal. Such is not the actual case.
While Federal expenditures have been
increased, State and municipal spend
ing has fallen of sharply, leaving the
public works total far below the
1928-29 averages in spite Of all the
to-do about them.

6.YEAR HIGH SET
IN EXPORT COPPER
Year Marked by Expanding Pro
duction - Building Gains
Prove Main Factor.
(By Cambridge Associates

A year of expanding copper pro-
duction kept prices steady for most
of the year. but fresh squirt in the
foreign markets in mid-December
brought export copper a new six-year
high. Further adjustments Of the do
mestic price appear likely, as the red
metal occupies the best statistical posi-
ton in years.
The strong demand for copper,
which has featured the year. stems
from two sources. The first is the
continued growth Of building activity
coincident with world recovery. The
second. and perhaps more important
factor, is the need for copper in the
vast armament programs being car
ried on by every European country.
These demands brought stocks OF
refined copper in the United States
down to 1908 tons, in comparison
with the 226,691 tons held a year
previous. The world situation had
improved equally. World stocks were
estimated at only 356, ,785 tons on that
date, against the 4s6,521 Of IL months
before.
The firmness Of the price level
throughout the yeay has automatically
stimulated production. but each month
shipments have totaled above the
amount produced.
Since both continued building ac-
tivity and war preparation demands
show no signs of abatement. further
strength in copper prices will probably
be evidenced in 1887.

A. A. A. SUGAR QUOTA
REGARDED "BULLISH"

(By Cambridge Associates)
The 1887 sugar quota has been set
by the A. A. A. at 6,682, $50 short tons.
This compares with 6,434,088. the
original 1896 quota. and 6,s12,687 the
revised quota. Since this latter figure
includes some 127000 tons that was
borrowed" by 1885 the result is that.
as 1t now stands, 1887 starts with
virtually the same quota as ruled in
1896.
Growing purchasing power will
naturally be reflected in higher per
capita sugar consumption. Then, too,
it is expected that domestic beet sugar
producers and the Philippine pro-
ducers will fail to make their allot-
ments. On the whole, the quota plans
as announced are regarded as bullish,
although currently no marked activity
Is being shown.

SHARP GAIN SEEN
IN HOME BUILDING
$780, ,000,0 900 Total Still
Less Than Half Level
Set During 1929.
BY CAMBRIDGE ASSOCIATES.


Forecasts Of a general building boom
in 1887 to rival that of the 20s should
be taken with bit of salt. The salt
however, should not be spread so lib
orally that there is no taste Of the
sure, steady revival that residential
building Is bound to enjoy within the
next few years.
Both history and current facts con-
firm this prediction. In the normal
course Of progress from depression
to prosperity revival reaches consump-
ton goods Clothing, furniture, etc)
goes on to semi-durable goods (plant
extensions, etc.. The effect, II it
were not so slow after q deep depres-
sion such as we have been through.
is something like touching of a string
of firecrackers.
Trends Intermingle.
Obviously, too, developments inter-
mingle. But 1t can be definitely de-
clared now that the durable goods
stage has been reached. Approximate
ly $500. 900 900 will be spent for build
ing homes in 1896, against the $479,-
100000 of last year and the $24s, ,S40,.
100 in 1894, the building industry's S
depression low point.
During the last year rents have
risen about II per cent. During re-
cent months the upward trend has
been less noticeable; therefore it seems
wise to expect that the 1887 increase
will be somewhat less, probably in
the neighborhood Of to 10 per cent.
Attempts have been made to show
the correlation between rents and
home building, but it Is not exact.
Building activity ordinarily drops
much faster than rents and rises more
abruptly. Much more striking is the
comparison between residential build
ing and the national income.
Only in 1893 and 1884 does the
building index fail to correspond with
income figures, and even here there
is a very minor difference.
Still Far Below 1929.
For its bearing on the progress of
recovery in general and the building
industry in particular it is important
to note that even though residential
building is now more than three times
its 1884 low. it has not yet reached
the halfway mark toward the 1929
building figures. In addition it should
not be forgotten that not only Is
obsolescence far more q factor than
in 1929. but q population growth Of
5000 900 or more to be housed.
Will a sharp increase in building
costs stifie the growing urge to build?
That does not seem likely. The low
cost of money and the rise in national
income are influences potent enough
to overcome any likely increase in
building costs during the coming year
The 1887 gain in residential build
ing Is not likely to prove so emphatic
percentage-wise as that enjoyed in
1885 and 1896, but conservative pre-
diction would place 1887 requirements
beyond the billion mark.
