We have always maintained that any organizations first

We believe thinking woman who will be fair will

There have been times when discouraged believing
that these communities did not desire appreciate
Institutions and that to attempt develop esta
ishments do, would be folly.
But as time become of people
in the minority and that the majority fully appreciates what we
are trying to do.
The population of the Twin Cities has materially
past five until we have less than 10000 making
to maintain and equip such establishments
Yet should lock the doors of these
and would else duplicate them and their services?
There have been than directors in the Twin
Cities recent and interest
the community at heart sufficiently make
to develop institutions of credit to cities.
None of them chance

The prominence and sue
cessful operation of the Neal
Funeral Homes, Inc, for the
Negro and by the Negro
communities have increased
the respect of the white COM
munity for Negro cOmpe-
tence and ability in these
two cities. A condition and
respect which we believe did
not exist before.
All of these things have
not been accomplished with
out melting jealousy and
envy; various types Of ma
icious propaganda and I'M
fair practices have been
spread by the INSCRIPTIONS
destructive elements Of our
group which are fortunately
in a minority.
Through it all we have de-
velOped and grown more
helpful each day.
And now to you people
who have been so loyal and
interested in these organiZa-
tons we wish to express our
sincere thanks and apprecia-
ton.
We now pledge to you that
we will put forth greater eff
forts each day to increase
your justifable pride in these
establishments which are
truly yours and which were
built with your money care
fully invested.

RANKIN FLAYS
DEFENSE FOR
LABOR BOARD
Thinks Roosevelt Misin.
formed; Looks for Him
to Call Halt

WASHINGTON, July 81. (UP)
President Roosevelt's defense of
the National Labor Relations
board was challenged yesterday
by Representative John +. Ran
kin, d., Miss.
Rankin, in reply to presidential
associations that the board is
dealing fairly with both labor and
industry, accused the labor medi-
alton group of fostering "intoler-
able inquisitions" that threatened
to wreck southern and western
industry"
Rankin called the board an Gun
holy combination" and predicted
the president would "call halt
at once" if he knew the circum-
stances.
The Mississippi congressman
accused the board of melting out
brutal treatment" to innocent
law abiding citizens" He also of
fered the theory that the presi-
dent evidently had been "misin-
formed" in his recent defense of
the board.
81 believe the president is the
greatest humanitarian to occupy
the White House since Jefferson, y
Rankin said. 81 know he means
well.
81 am probably rendering him
my greatest service now by trying
to save him from the direful con-
sequences of these un-Amerlcan
activities.
"If the activities of this So
called labor relations board are
not checked and the wages and
hours bill now before the senate
passes in it's present form and
both should be upheld by the su-
preme court, it would probably
mean the end of human liberty as
we know it, as we'll as the end of
constitutional government in this
country"
