Union Insists Upon
White Operators
For Negro Paper

OKLAHOMA CITY (ANP) ~
No white men viii operate the new
is page Coss press recently INSTALL
ed by the Oklahoma Black Dis
patch and scheduled to make its
maiden run this Thursday, said
Roscoe Dlinjee, editor, last week.
His statement, which included
the assertion that THE new press
viii sit there forever unless Me-
groes run it" was made after L.
T. Johnson, white secretary of
Pressman's Union No. 149, from
which Negroes are barred, told Mr..
Dunjee that his union decided
three white men and a helper
would be necessary to start the
press. The editor Immediately ye-
toed this ides.
II intend to run The Black Dis
patch plant with Negro employees
and I see this incident as an at
tempt to thwart my intentions; =
said Editor Dunjee. "As secre-
tary Of the union. Mr. Johnson
should certainly know the rules
and regulations of his local. I
feel as if a deliberate attempt has
been made to get me so close to
publication date that / would be
forced into an unscemlg agree
ment with the pressmen's union.
"W rite this down. That press
win sit there forever if Negro
employees do not run it. 1 think
that every fair and liberal minded
white person viii feel that in this
matter I am right. Negroes are
not allowed membership in white
printers locals id the south and ]
have a right to develop my own
sscrce from among members of my
own race, without interference of
this character
The unfsilness of the proposal
was stressed by Editor Dunjee as
he said that a pressman advised
him that the Leader Press, which
is about three times as big as the
Black Dispatch press, is manned
by two men. Zone man with a
helper can run my press and I am
certainly not going to enter into
any confiscatory arrangement as
proposed to me this week"

Stormy
Session at Wash.


WASHINGTON CAMP VI hen
congress convenes November IS in
special session at the call Of Pre-
sident Roosevelt, plenty of fire
works are expected and not the
least of these viii be caused by
the Justice Black controversy and
the federal ant-lynching bill.
Southern solons themselves de-
sire action for political reason.
Roosevelt has alienated himself
from conservative Democrats and
they rave carried the anti-admin-
istration fight to their own dis
tricts. If the bill is passed and is
signed by the chief executive, they
can offer this as proof to their
constituents that the president is
against the principles of true De-
mocracy" and deserves to be bat
tied. For this reason, 40 genuine
old-time filibuster is anticipated.
On the other hand, if the bill is
passed and Roosevelt does not sign
it, then Negro voters throughout
the North win in all probability
repudiate the New Deal. Admin
istration leaders are aware of the
dynamite in the situation but thus
far do not see any way out de-
spite their headaches.
It is also expected there will be
move made to impeach Justice
Hugo Black of the supreme court.

Seattle Theatre
Well Established

seattle's history-making Negro
repertory company whose pencil
ant for turning out the unusual in
the way Of stage fare, IS faily wen
established BY this time, IS living
up to its own hard-won reputation
IN its forthcoming fan production
OF sAndrocles and the Lion slated
to open at the Federal Theatre on
Rainier Ave. and Atlantic on the
night Of November 1. The play
win run each night of the week.
Although religious plays are not
new to project members first play
produced was Obrey's Noah j,
the satirical characterizations writ
ten by George Bernard Shaw for
"Androcles and the Lion" present
an entirely new type of personality
to be developed by the versatile
actors.
Cast members will include Robt
S. Clair, Joe Station, Tommy Trice,
Sarah Oliver, Doris Booker, Jane
Chandler, Perry Gillian, Thomas
Coleman, and a host of other fav-
orites. This win be the first play
by the Negro players that uses no
white actors whatsoever.
Based on the popular fable of
the same name, "Androcles and the
Lion" is one of Shaw's wittier and
more pointed satires. In the course
of the play the famous Irish wit
takes a literary and dramatic wal
lop at all religious sectarianisms
and bigotry, using the early Chris
tain martyrs and their Roman per-
secutors as his special subjects.
Direction is under Edwin G. o.
Conner, new director with the To-
cal project, and colorful sets and
costumes are being designed for
the period by Blanche Morgan.

GEW-YoUR-oWN wouldn't be
- your weather prophet for the
world, but you know, Milady, and
so does S-Y90, that it's always fair
weather when good fashions get to-
gether. Which brings us to today's
three sparkling new frocks-a
whole crowd of style for the pretty
part of any mans family.
A Fun FrOck.
Rain, nor gloom, nor a fiat tire
(either kind), can dampen the spir-
it's of the girl who wears this buoy
ant, young sports frock (above
left) on her daily rounds-be they
on the fairway, the campus, behind
the counter, or merely from pillar
to post. You can easily see why it's
a winner: a button-a1l-the-way
front, the matched collar and gen.
eral shipshape styling make it just
that. It's surefire in acetate, or silk
crepe.
Here's to Mothers.
Sew-Your-Own loves nothing
more than catering to mothers
wardrobe needs. The frock above
(center) is for all mothers: old
sweet ones, young darling ones,
yes, even for mothers-to-be. It is
easy to run up, easy to do up, and
best of all, easy to look at.

An all-over suntan is her forte,
and many sunny days are ahead
for young Miss Fortunate whose

skirt, that's second to none for
class, fits into her scheme of things

for my membership identification

more conversational and asks me
many questions about the Amerl
kadeutScher Bund and its activities
Our movement here in Texas
is purely of a social nature" he
explains. I'VE have no member
ship cards nor uniforms. In
fact, we have no dues for 1ndl-
vidual members"
He says the Texas Bund EN-
braced every German club in the
State and I gather membership
totals about five thousand.
"You know, the strange thing
is that although we have no con-
nection with the Bund in the
East" he continues, I'VE have
practically the same name. The
fact is we are much older than
the Eastern Bund and appar-
emily they took our name.
Originally we called ourselves
the German-American Verein.
Then some of our groups
changed the name to the
German-American Bund, and so
to have unity all along the line.
We now have dropped the name
Verein entirely.
