Negroes Can Improve
Their Economic Status

fear by year Negroes are
beng pushed out Of The INDUS
ll4al and commercial life OF the
ila.ion. While Negro leaders
orate and pass resolutions, the
race is being driven TO the re-
lief roll. Since the Emanclpa-
ton no leader or group Of
leaders have been wise enough
to devise plan to lift the race
out Of poverty. Booker =.
Vi ashington, the far-sighted
founder Of Tuskegee Institute,
pointed out the faIlacy OF Ne
groes straining at higher edu-
cation without having any
substantial foundation TO sup
port the intellectual group, but
he was shouted down and even
mobbed III the streets OF Bos-
ton as a traitor Of his race.
Now seventy-flye years alter
freedom the race is as helpless
as it was at Emancipation. Y
has improved IN education,
culture and religion, but It's
economic status Is practically
tie same. The funds OF the
o..ce rich Negro fraternal so
c.slies are gone; the great
banks are closed. the wealthy
Negro farmers have passed on.
In every large city one points
ont the show places where Ne
groes used to own.
This condition has come
about because the race IS not
wise enough to supply its own
needs thereby getting the bene
fit Of the middieman's profit
Thousands Of white merchants
are getting rich il Negro neigh
borhoods. Many Negroes who
attempt to start q business are
unframed, unprepared and
have no capital Or credit. Those
who are trained and can obtain
capital prefer the profession

It is time for our leaders u
tell the Negro the truth about

The Capitals man of the moment

President Roosevelt's Supreme Court
nomination to the Senate.
Most people don't know it, but
Latta, not the United States mail,
hauls the Presidents nominations and

Ever since Mr.. Roosevelt hinted that
the Nation will learn the nominees

Latta is being watched like a honey

For 81 years Latta-a lanky, be-
Spectacled Pennsylvanian-has been
the human pony express between the
White House and Capitol Hill.
AS executive clerk of the White
House, he has addressed the Senate
about 5000 times, which is more than
most Senators accomplish in a life

PROMISES QUICK
PAINTER RULING
Schneider to Define Duties
and Work Day in Union
Dispute.

prompt ruling defining the duties
OF a painter and the number of hours
constituting work day was promised
yesterday by Carl Schedler, Labor
Department attorney, sitting as ref
cree in a dispute between union paint
ers and the procurement division OF
the Treasury concerning working con-
ditions on Government jobs here.
Yesterdays hearing was held as an
aftermath to city-wide strike OF
union painters in protest against cer-
tain practices by non-union contrac-
tors doing painting work on Govern
ment buildings.
Union Firms Stopped Bidding.
A favorable ruling, it was said,
would make it more difficult for non-
union firms to secure contracts un-
der the present law, which provides
that contracts must be awarded the
lowest responsible bidder. In recent
years most union concerns have
stopped bidding on Federal jobs here
because they cannot meet the bids
Of the open-shop firms.
The present dispute centers around
the work being done on the new city
post Office by the non-union firm OF
Coons & Raptis of Brooklyn.
It was charged the firm has about
% painters and laborers working
on the job. The union men contend
the laborers are doing painting work
in that they move scaffolds. arrange
drop cloths to protect furniture and
wipe up paint spots. For years, they
say, this work has been done by
painters, whose pay scale is more thar
double that OF laborers.
Five-Day Week Sought.
The Brooklyn firm works its mer
eight hours day, six days a week
paying the prevailing straight time
scale OF $1.57 IT per hour. The
union representatives ask that all con-
tractors be required to work the men
