Union Delegate Sits
In Council In Texas

Beaumont, Tex, Aug. IL by
John H. Thompson for ANP)-His-
tory was made here in Texas re-
Gently when for the first time a
colored union labor delegate met
with white delegates of the Inter
national Theatre and Stage En-
ployees Union of Texas.
The only colored delegate among
nearly a hundred whites, Lee A.
Lewis, business agent for Loo. 279,
a colored union of Houston, affil-
lated with the A. F. of L., was &C
cepted freely and openly at this
state convention.
Scheduled to be held at a local
white hotel, the coming of Lewis
caused the hotel management to
denur at his presence. White dele
gates told the management that If
Lewis could not enter the premises
then they would take their meeting
somewhere else. Lewis was admit
ted to the hotel convention room
and was later seated at the BAN
ouet table with the whites.
Lewis is a member of the execu-
tive committee of the Houston To-
cal, composed of whites mostly. He
is the man directly responsible for
the strong fight put up by colored
people of Houston to force employ
ment of colored motion picture OPP
orators in exclusive Negro houses.
Through his efforts twelve men are
regularly employed at union rates.

Ethiopia IS Open
Only To The Rich

Rome, Aug. II (ANP)-Despite
claims of Mussolini that Ethiopia
was needed to take care of Italy's
%surplus Population, it was revealed
last week by newspapers here that
those areas of Abyssinia under
Fascist control will be the happy
hunting-ground only of Italian fin
anciers.
Extracts from the report of an
horticultural mission sent to Ethio-
Ipia in February show that only
areas in the country suitable for
farming are already fairly dense
Is populated by natives. Areas
where the population is thin are
are unsuitable for agriculture, and
hope is already abandoned of any
big mineral finds.
The report also emphasized that
title to this land by the present oc-
cupants is not established by law
and therefore is opportunity for
men with heavy financial backing
to exploit them. Since Ethiopian la
Dor can be obtained cheaply, there
is no opportunity for the exporta-
ton of Italian workers, the report
adds.

Experience for Our Learning

Experience for Our Learning
For whatsoever things were
written a foretime, we're writer
for u learning" Rom. 1874. Since
July, we have been studying "Goo
in the Making of a Nation" in oul
international Sunday school course
Many eternal truths have been
learned and are being learned now.
AT present, 1 wish to refer to the
subieeL for August ,8th-"God
Feeds A People" Ancient Israel
was very much like people today;
human nature seems to act the
same in all generations. People
murmured against God and his
leaders then, and now. God hears
their murmurings and yet bears
with them.
In a natural sense, God is feed
ing His people beautifully as ever,
but u proyerty is caused by poor
"distribustion." There is little or
nothing so wrong with the "pro-
duction." Men will not harken to
leadership today, no more than
when Israel refused to hear Moses.
The consequence than was that
the mamma spoiled. So today, as
we fail our labor spoils or foils its
purpose. "Hoarding" mama and
boarding gold or natural resources
have the same principal and results
spiritually.
The mamma symhelizes "Christ"
who is the bread &C life. because
like it, He satisfies He is bread of
life from heaven; a daily portion
of his grace must be obtained.
What God did for Israel, He will
do for any and every nation that
obeys Him
He supplied our Precipitation for
eternal salvation and he will sup
ply our every need In temporal
ife according to his riches m glory.

Hotel Chef Makes
Plenty of Cash

Tampa, Fla, Aug. IL (By San
dcrs Mason for ANP)-Leroy
Buggs, a big but crestfhllen dark
gentleman, sat in the county jail
last week puzzling over the per-
plexities of big business. By night
Bugs was a chef at the swank
downtown Tampa Terrace hotel,
cooking those S1.25 teabone steaks
to a sizzling perfection. By day,
he operated his own restaurant,
the K. of P. cafe, sizzling those
same lucious steaks hut selling
them at two-bits a teabone to coli
ored eusomers. To be brief about
it, Buggs had worked up a pretty
good business until a squadron Of
city detectives swoored down on
him late Saturday night and
snatehed a garbage can.
In that garbage can, the detec-
tives found five dressed fat hens,
several large juicy hams, Holsters,
steaks, fish liver, butter, lard, eggs
and a variety of canned goods, all
definitely belonging to the Tampa
Terrace hotel, but being transfer
red to the Bugg's X. of P. cafe.
Acting on complaint of the hotel
management, Sergeant Morris and
Detectives Keene and Hamilton
stationed themselves at the hotels
service entrance. Shortly before
midnight, the garbage truck backed
up to the door and started loading
The detectives noticed nothing un-
usual until the last garbage can
was loaded. 1t was carefully plac-
ed to one side of the truck. Off
GERS trailed the truck from the no.
tel to Bugg's establishment. There
i stopped and Lewis Thomis, the
garbage man hoisted that last"
can on his shoulder and took it in
30 the cafe.
It was then that the detectives
stepped in and snatched he can
The found the food carefully pack
ed but covered with o~ver-ripe to-
matoes and broken eggs to give
the appearance of garbage.
The detectives also arrested
Thomas and Bugg's wife, Mrs
Juanita Buggs. who was at The
cafe and all three have been trans
ferred to the county jail. They sale
the theft of groceries from the no.
tel had been going for several
months, Mrs. Buggs was out or
bail Monday night.
