Roosevelt Sees
Leaders for
2 Hours.
SIT.DOWN CRISIS
HELD CLEARING
Robinson Asserts
Z. S. Statutes Not
Yet Violated.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The administration will maintain
q hands-off policy in the sit-down
strike situation-at least for the pres
ent and unless there Is violation Of a
Federal statute or call from State
authorities for aid to maintain law and
order
This was the burden of a statement
issued last night by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, leader of the Senate, fol-
lowing a two -hour-a -and-a- quarter con-
ference with President Roosevelt at
the White House, in which Vice Presi-
dent Garner participated
Senator Robinson. as he and the
Vice President we're leaving the Execu-
tive Mansion, dictated the following
There are two conditions under
which Federal action may be invoked
in cases of acute strikes, namely:
Where Federal laws are violated or
where Federal property, including the
mails is interfered with. Unless one
of these conditions exists, Federal in
tervention or action, under the Con-
stitution and decisions Of the courts, is
not warranted.
The second condition is in cases
where State authorities, under the
Federal law, ask the services Of Fed
eral agencies in the preservation Of
law and order and in the prevention OF
violence.
Neither condition has so far arisen
Except in instances where inter-
state commerce is irfterfered with,
where Federal law is disregarded,
cannot, undr the Constitution, initi-
ate action.
1T is felt that the sit-down strike
situation, in general sense, is i'm
proving"
House Leaders Confer.
Prior to the conference with the
Vice President and Senator Robinson,
the President spent an hour with
Speaker Bankhead and Majority
Leader Rayburn OF the House
The seriousness of the sit-down
strike situation was soft-pedaled at
the White House, after President
Roosevelt's return to Washington from
Georgia yesterday.
The easing of the situation in De-
troit, brought about by the removal
of the sit-down strikers from the
Chrysler plants and probable agree
ment between the corporation and
the workers, is believed to have put
. different light on the White House
conferences. The crisis which ex-
listed in Detroit having passed, the
demands by members of Congress
that the administration take some
steps without delay are being laid
aside, at least for the time being.
Any recurrence of sit-down strikes
would revive them, however.
While the President himself made
no statement regarding the sit-down
strikes, the congressional leaders and
Secretary Of Labor Perkins, who also
conferred with Mr.. Roosevelt, threw
cold water on the widely published
reports that the President had re-
turned to Washington to do some
thing about the strikes.
No Presidential Plan Indicated.
If the Executive has any such plan
tn mind, it was not admitted in any
of these quarters.
Furthermore Speaker Bankhead, be-
fore going into conference with the
President, denied fatty that Mr..
Roosevelt had intimated to him or to
Majority Leader Rayburn that he de-
Sired to talk over the sit-down strike
situation with them.
When Speaker Bankhead and Ray
burn were leaving the White House
the Speaker, pointing out that they

Thanksgiving

Many, many years the Pilgrim fathers set aside
day to give special thanks to their God the kind
ness that he had shown them They had their Sundays
which they observed much than present genera
ton observe theirs but they wanted another day
would be holy day.
This day called Thanksgiving The Indians
were invited to attend Services held and after that
feast was given symbol that the harvest had been
gathered, which bountfu. The affair was scuh a
great that since that time the President the
United States each procams that the last Thurs
day in November shall be Thanksgiving.
Through the many changes have come. In the
case of Thanksgiving they have been for the Ask
child what that day is for and the chances
you will be advised that it is day to eat turkey and
cake The religious angle has been left behind The very
foundation of the holy day has been discarded 1t is
day to eat than you need and to drink more
than you should
This year will be good time for to STRAIT the
Pilgrim Thanksgiving Let help those who need help
and spend the rest of the day in making peace with Him
whom the waves and wind obey Him who offer you
the only thing worth living for-salvation.

WHY FEW NEGROES SUCCEED
AND MANY FAIL
By CHAS. c. STRINGER

II we would look about travel this
great highway of life would Immediately see that
1T is strewn with failures of people, just the
bed is strewn with wrecks.
The question has been asked and again
why do so many of our people fail? Why do many
of people happily venture out into business and end
up in disastrous wrecks? Why only few succeed and
fail?
There many things that enter into bust
ness that it is impossible to undertake the task of
ing all of them Making the right kind of and
the right place, good judgement, honesty
and the ability to level headed all factors
which enter ones chance of in life.
Many of people fail because let other peo-
pies judgement enter into business.
Others fail because they lose their grit after the
fail, or when they get down, they don't know how to
get up. Courage and optimistic outlook upon life
imperative to the winner.
Many fail because they fear to venture out into life
Fear fatal to and should all keep that in
mind The lack of sefconfidence and lack of faith in
ones ideas in life have caused nnumerable failures.
Many young people fail today because their mind is
still at random, it is not settled, they put time
and money big times and forget the real business side
of life Lots of young people fail to get ahead because
they have found their place in life They
sidered round pegs in holes Others not
capable of coping with the present set up of this
day.
Some people fail because they drive away
from them by their anagonstic and their pes
simisc thoughts. They work for thing, but expect
something else. They don't realize that their mental
attitude must correspond with their ambition
No hope to succeed who is timid who lacks
faith in himself, who has courage and who always
seeks for certainty before he ventures.
Lack of being prepared has caused many failures
If has qualities of in him, he will not long
lack being prepared absolutely necessary to his
cess He will walk many miles to get education, like
Washington. He will study by torch light like Lincoln
He will do of the thousand things that other noble
struggers have done to fight against circumstances
that would deprive them of what they hoped for.
Look where you will, ask of whom you WILL and
you will that circumstances but personal quail
ties defects, deficiencies failures.
Surely here is material enough for hundred
mons if one cared to preach them. Without attempting
to discuss all these of failure, few may be
profitaby examined.
\ In this short write up I've tried to give you
of the many reasons why Negroes succeed and
many fail
