ing, history was made in Omaha
a new awakening, a new spirit, was
upon the horizon as. 1000 black
Americans sat with mouths opened
and eyes fixed upon the greatest
Negro of modern times. The man
that is destined to lead black Amer
lea out of economic bondage. Mr..
Randolph said that fundamental
weakness of the Negro race along
with the lack of organization is
the reason for the fourteenth lei
tizenship right not to be abridged)
and the fifteenth (equal rights for
all) amendments not being observ
ed" He further stated, "The pro
blem of the Negro people today is
the problem of organization, the
unity to build trade and industrial
organization to achieve things.
This does not mean that Negro
people should build for themselves
alone.
THE unity of black and white
people of the industrial fields is
necessary said Randolph. "No
Negro is safe while one white work
er is in bondage, and no white
worker is safe while n Negro is
a slave"
This mass meeting was held to
stimulate organization Interest,"
among the Negroes in connection
with the national conference of
dining car workers in session here.

Victorian Coronaot Patientiam
Victory crowns patience) and thus
was the motto of Mr.. War Forrest
Perkins, formerly of Omaha. Mr..
Perkins attended Howard Kennedy
and Central high school where
aside from making a record as a
student he was an outstanding
music IN being a member Of the
school band. The true story of this
young mans life sound, when told,
like a novel. Starting out with a
borrowed $500 he secured a job
as a cosmetic salesman working
for a week, he accumulated the
sum of $500, thus he launched
out into the sea of business for
himelf, first entering the real es
tate and then into the newspaper
business, working long enough at
this to start a magazine of his
own. However, due to the depres
sion he was crushed against the
banks of proverty. However, en-
owed with patience he was not
dismayed, but starting again by
creating a system of putting com
bination porters on buses which
proved successful.
At the beginning of the Federal
Music project, he was made director
of the Negro division for the state
of California, later he launched out
into the game of promotion and
bought the contract of the radio
act, Four Blackbirds, increasing
this until he had 40 person under
his contract with them appearing
over all the outstanding radio sta
tions throughout the country.
Mr.. Perkins connections with the
radio stations became so pernounc
ed that he was employed as an
announcer and could be heard over
the ethereal waves of KOL, KOIN,
EFAX and the Columbia Chain,
holding the distinction of being
the first Negro program director
and announcer to be heard over
the Columbia network.
Mr.. Perkins, not satisfied with
the success he has enjoyed, has
now made application for a radio
station which will be the first of
its kind in the state of California.
Mr.. Perkins has the backing of
three congressman and three sena
tors and ten of CALIFORNIA; leading
business men. One of the senators
is the Hon. William G. McAdoo of
California. While in Omaha, Mr.
Perkins visited Mr.. and Mrs. Jess
