movement for congressional sup
port for anti-lynching legislation,
and the splendid united front ac-
tivities of the National Negro Con-
gress give a real base for broad
ening and extending the movement
for effective legislation in the next
Congress in the interests of the

'"The spirit of the age-the
voice of inspiration, the deep
longings of the human soul, the
conflict of right with wrong,
the upward tendency of the OPP
pressed throughout the world
abound with evidence, complete
and ample, of the final triumph
of right over wrong, of freedom
over slavery, equality over caste.
To doubt this is to forget the
great past, and blind your eyes
to the present.
ut is more than a mere fig
ure of speech to say, that we
areas a people chained to-
gether. We are one people
one in common degradation, one
in popular estimation. AS one
arises all must rise-as one falls
all must fall. Every one of us
should be ashamed to consider
himself free, while his brother
is a slave. There should be no
time too precious, no calling too
holy, no place too sacred, to
make room for this cause"

Goals Outlined
By Negro Heads

Negroes are not seeking social
equality through the civil rights
bin currently before the state leg
islature. but are asking only the
right to i've and earn an honest
living
Such was the contention Of
three leaders OF Negro organiza-
lions sponsoring the civil rights
bill In the Oregon legislature. The
three were: E. ]. Minor, president
of the National Association for the
Advancement of CoIored People,
and chairman of the joint group
backing the bill; Wyatt w. VIII
Hams, president Of the Portland
Negro Progressive association, and
Edgar Williams ,degelate to the la
Dor council.
There have been objections to
the bill on part of proprietors Of
the more exclusive establishments
because" Minor declared, they
are AFRAID it win hurt their busin-
ess.
"But that won't be the case, as
has been shown in the many states
where there are civil right laws.
The Negro can't afford to go to
those places In the first place, and
generally has his own places Of
eating and entertainment anyway.
Negroes have not abused the
law in the IA states it is in force"
he said.

Heneghen Gets
Technical Kayo
Over S. Mitchell

Rising wrathily from the floor
after four knockdowns in the first
round, Francis (Red) Heneghen
made one of those seldom-seen
comebaclxs to plaster a technical
knockout on Slime Mitchell, 1856
pound Negro lad, in what the ring
wise opined was the finest anna
teur fight ever seen in Yakima.
Mitchelps left was anything but
scenery as he stormed into Heneg-
hen in the first round, feinting him
out of position and driving home
one-twos. -Four times Heneghen
went to the mat, for counts of six,
six, seven and eight but he kept his
wits inside him and weathered the
attack Came the second round,
and Heneghen, with a clear head,
waded into Mitchell with rights
and lefts, looking better as he
went along.
It was Mitchell who was in the
daze as the bell for the last heat
sounded. Catching the Negro as
he came out, Heneghen stopped
him with a hard right to the head
and dropped him fiat for a nine
count. AS Mitchell slowly got up.
Heneghen was on hi mike a wold-
cat and smashed him against the
ropes and onto the canvas. Referee
Freddie Masterman started the
count, looked at Mitchell and then
awarded the bout to Heneghen.
GRAVES GETS DECISION

This one had the fans tearing

the aggressive Yakima high 100
FOUNDER, met his strongest oppon-
ent to date in Baby Chocolate, the
Ellensburg Negro, and it was not
until the third round that the for
mer's calculating fists beat out
decision. In that canto Graves
staggered the Baby with hard
rights to the head and a furry
sent the Negro down for four
count. He came back as though
nothing had happened but the ink
was already In the well. So fur
ious was the going that the two
boys were toe-to-toeing it long af-
ter the bell 1ding the second.

CITIZENS DISCUSS
TRANSIT PROBLEMS
Conduit Road Group Meets
With Merrill to Air
Complaints.

Nearly 200 members of the Con-
duit Road Citizens Association at
tended special meeting at the
Palisades Park Field House last night
to discuss transportation problems
with Edward D. Merrill, executive
vice president of the Capital Transit
Co., and offer suggestions for improv-
ing the service
In answer to complaints made
against old equipment and poor serv-
ice. Merrill said the transit company
Is doing the best 1t can under present
conditions all over the city, and that
1t had ordered more buses to
augment those in use and to replace
others. Other complaints were made
against rough roadbeds on the Cabin
John line. dirty street cars and dis
courteous service.
A suggestion was made that buses
on the Conduit road line go all the
way downtown instead of stopping
at Wisconsin avenue and S street.
This. Merrill said. would add to the
already crowded condition of the
downtown area, but added that the
Conduit road schedule would be
moved up three minutes so that
better connections could be made
with the Trinidad bus.
Several other suggestions were
made which association members
believed would give them better
service and thus increase company
revenue.

ID. c. .TAXPAYMENTS.
EXCEED 25 STATES.
Interfederation Conference
Hears Data on Levies.
Suter Is Speaker.

The income and miscellaneous in
ternal revenue taxes paid by District
residents to the Federal Government
paid by each Of rs States, the Inter-
federation Conference was told last
night at q meeting devoted almost
entirely to q discussion Of the fiscal
relations problem.
The conference, composed of rep
resentatives of the civic federations
of the District and Montgomery,
Prince Georges and Arlington Coun-
ties. discussed . report submitted by
q special committee named to study
the fiscal problem. No action was
taken, however. and the report was
referred back to the committee for
further consideration.
Suter Defends Figures.
Jesse c. Suter Of the Citizens' Joint
Committee on Fiscal Relations, in de-
Tending his committees contention
that District residents are not under
taxed, told the conference Washing
tonians paid more than 1900 900 In
income and other Federal taxes last
year, sum larger than the aggre-
gate Of nine States. In addition, he
said, they paid taxes for the operat-
ing expenses Of the District govern
ment.
Suter said the experts who have
studied the question have never been
able TO agree on how to arrive at a
fair tax rate for citizens of the Ma
tfon's Capital. He declared the meth
cd Of the Jacobs Committee on Fiscal
Relations, which compared the Dis
trict's tax rate with that of other
cities, was theoretical. He explained
that the tax rate in another city
might be higher, but the real estate
Of that city was not assessed at It's
full value. He added that the average
Of the Districts assessed value Is
around 80 per cent.
Officers Are Re Re-elected.
The conference reelected its entire
slate Of officers. They are: Thoma.
Z. Lodge. chairman; H. s. Yohe, first
vice chairman: r: E. Plymale, second
vice chairman: Judge Alfred D. Bailey
third vice chairman, and e. L. Ben.
nett. secretary-treasurer.
The group was told the Fairfax
County Civic Federation is expecting
to make application for admission tt
the conference. 1t was decided thai
representatives OF the Virginia or.
ganization will be invited to sit in
on the next conference session and
their application voted on later By
the membership committee.
