STATE LEGISLATORS FINISH
SHORTEST SESSION SINCE 1929;
ENACT AROUND 1900 LAWS
Social Security Measures
Adopted; School Teach
ers' Pay Raised

RALEIGH, March "a. - The
1887 session of the state general
assembly adjourned yesterday af-
tcrnoon at 5:38 p. m, on the nth
day Of the session. Officially the
body quit at noon, when the
clocks were stopped, but actual
adjournment came five and a half
hours later.
Just before adjournment, the
house members shouted down the
proposal Of Representative Del
lingcr, Of CASTOR, that his bill,
substituting electricity for gas in
legal executions be revived.
The legislators scattered to
their homes after a record break
ing session, during which liquor
was lcgalized, a social security
program adopted, school children
given free text books, and the
largest budget in the states his
tory balanced.
Both houses passed a bill to
exempt male mercantile employees
from the maximum hour law, and
the representatives killed a sem
ate bill which would allow manu-
facturc and assembling of slot
machines in the state. The house
concurred with the senate in vail
dating certain bonds issued with
WPA grants.
In the shortest session since
1929, administration supporters
approved Governor Hoey's "must"
legislation with two exceptions.
Eastern representatives refused
to allow a reapportionment of
representation, and enacted a To-
cal option liquor bill. Governor
Hoey favored a statewide refer
endum.
A total of 1904 bills were in
PRODUCED in the two houses, and
the enrolling office yesterday es.
timated that 1900 had been en-
acted into law, although the ex-
act official number had not been
computed.
After an absence of 20 years,
the path was cleared for the re.
turn Of legal liquor to the state ;
social security legislation was en-
acted to aid the aged, dependent
children, and INDECENT blind ;
school children got free text
books with bond issue of ST.
100000; slot machines were out
lawed. Sunday movies and billiard
parlors were granted some coun-
ties; dog racing was prohibited in
Cherokee; but two counties were
allowed to hold elections on dog
and horse racing with pari-mutuel
betting.
Two amendments were approx
ed, one increasing the terms of
sheriffs to four years, and a Sec
ond establishing a state depart
ment of justice. Teachers got a
raise in pay as schools were vot-
ed $50,000,000 for the next two
years.
Tobacco compact legislation
was passed to limit production
through agreements with other

CHRYSLER AND LEWIS
CONFER AT LANSING

LANSING, March 24.-(UP)--
John Lewis and Walter Chrysler
sat this morning at the same Ia
Bile in an attempt to settle the
strike that has closed nine Chrys-
Ter plants and thrown 10000 men
out of work. Governor Murphy
brought them together at his Of
flee while 5000 men held all
Chrysler Detroit plants in def
ance of orders for their arrest.
Governor Murphy, prior to the
conference, declined to say what
the procedure would be, but from
other sources it was learned that
three definite plans would be Of
fered to Lewis and Chrysler. Tho
greatest secrecy was maintained
concerning the proposals, and the
concrete terms were unknown. In
Detroit, however, it was reported
that one of them might be along
the lines of the General Motors
settlement.
That gave the United Automo-
bile workers sole bargaining
rights for six months in plants
where strikes actually occurred.
In the remainder of General Mo-
tors plants-many Of which were
closed by shutdowns due to lack
of material rather than by strikes
the union won the right to bar
gain only for its own members
among the employees.

PROTEST BEATINGS BY DRUNKEN POLICE

to the National Speakers Bureau
of the Democratic National Com
mittee by James Farley, who ex-
pressed high praise in a personal
letter to Mr.. Albright for his activ-
tiles. He was co-founder of the
Minnesota Negro Liberal League
and was chairman of its Executive
Committee. AS a member of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee, of the Farmer-Labor Eighth
District Campaign Committee, he
was able to score some very effec-
tive work in behalf of the Roose-
velt-Lundeen-Benson combine in
the state.
Il am naturally pleased" Mr.. Al
bright says about his promotion. 81
am extremely grateful to my
friends who have made this posi-
BILE, and l most fervently hope that
whatever of merit l have done or
will do shall aid in assisting others
of our group in securing govern
mental positions"

New Minnesota
Negro Council
Writes Senators

Replying to wires from the Min
nesota Negro Council in which they
were urged to use their influence
and to extend every effort to bring
the Wagner-Van Mugs Anti-Lynch-
inb bill to vote and ultimate pas
sage, Senators Lundeen and Ship
stead pledged their support to the
Anti-Lynching Bill.
The Minnesota Negro Council, in
line with its policy to fearlessly
combat discrimination in every
form and to promote the highest
interest of the Negro, now has be-
fore it three vital issues that affect
the future of every Negro in the
State of Minnesota.
C. E. Rucker is chairman of the
Executive Committee. Chairmen of
the various committees are: Public
Welfare, Whitman Cratic, Jr.; La
Dor and Industrial Relations, A. B.
Cassius, Jr.; Interracial Coordina-
ton, Samuel Harris; Housing, Mrs.
Ethel Ray Williams; Publicity,
John W. Powell; Membership, Her
bert Howell; Education and Youth,
John Thomas. Mrs. Ethel Williams
is secretary and Patrick Patton is
treasurer and business agent.

Urban League
Protests CCC !
Discrimination

Information has been received at
the office of the Twin City Urban
League to the effect that Negro
boys in the Minnesota district of
the Civilian Conservation Camps
are not to be accepted. The order
establishing this policy states that
there is no quota for Negro boys
in this district and that all other
districts having separate Negro
camps are filled.
This simply means that there is
a subtle effort to do away with all
mixed camps, a policy which
strikes at the heart of the struggle
that Negroes in Minnesota have
made to prevent discrimination OF
this sort.
The same question arose in
April, 1886, but after prolonged
correspondence between the Urban
League and CCC officials the mat
ter was adjusted and our boys were
accepted on the same basis as
others. The recurrence of this
same thing indicates that forces
have been working overtime to put
this policy into effect.
Therefore every Negro organiza-
ton is urged to write or wire their
senators and congressman protest
ing this regulation. Letters should
also be sent to Major General
Stanley H. Ford, Commander, Sew
enth Corps Area, Omaha, Nebras-
ka, and to Mr.. Robert Fechner,
director, Emergency Conservation
Work, Washington, D. c.
1t is also advisable that the CO.
operation of city and state officials
be secured in this effort. Time is
an important factor in this situa-
ton inasmuch as the enrolment
period closes July 81.

were held to seven well scattered
hits by Wayne LaMaster. 1t re-
duced their margin to six games.
The only run off LaMaster came
when Dcmaree clouted for the
circuit in the sixth. The Phils
got off to a lead in the second
inning when Camilli singled and
scored on Scharein's double. john

the winning tally.
The second place Giants nosed
out the Cincinnati Reds, 4-3, be-
hind Harry Gumbert's seven hit
pitching. 1t broke a five game los
ing streak. A two run burst in
the seventh proved to be the tying
and winning markers. Ripple and
Leslie singled, then an intention

replaced Schott and Ripple Tailed
on Ryan's infield out, and Leslie
came home when Riggs fumbled
Gumbert'S grounder.
The Brooklyn Dodgers were out

better, making three runs at a
