Seek to Pass Over
Anti-Lynch Bill
Continued from Page d

Continued from Page u
the past four weeks both the foes
of the anti lynching bill and of the
Roosevelt administration have been
agitating against the antilynching
bill.
The foes of the anti ~lyncLing
bill, of course, r seeking any me-
thod by which they can tie up the
bill. They know the votes are there
to pass it, but if they can juggle
tho program in anyway, taking
advantage of any Breaks" they
intend to do So.
The foes of the Roosevelt ad
ministration are using every OPP
portunity to embarass the Pre-
sident's program and are working
the antizlynching bill overtime.
The NAACP, which is heading
the forces seeking the enactment of
the anti-lynching bill, is urging all
organizations and individuals sup
porting the bill to see their sena-
tors and congressman in personal
conferences before they go to
Washington, urging them to insist
upon the inclusion of the anti
lynching bill in the special session.
The bill already has passed the
House, but in order to limit the
special session program, a resolu-
tion has to be passed by both the
House and the Senate and, there
fore, congressman who already
have supported the bill can render
still further service by refusing to
limit its consideration in the Sen
ate.
Another danger which the NAA
CP warns against is the possibility
that there will be an attempt to
eliminate from the bill the section
imposing a financial penalty on the
counties where lynchings occur.
This is the most important section
of the bill and is one which has
drawn the sharpest criticism from
opponents. The NAACP points out
that every antilynching bill now
on the books of the various states
contains a penalty provision. The
South Carolina antilynching law
has a provision that the counties
may be fined $4,000.
Every effort should be made TO
resist the attempts to amend the
bill and remove this penalty, for
without this section the bill will
have practically no teeth.
There is also the ever present
danger of a filibuster which must
be fought, and voters should make
their wishes known to their con
gressmen without delay.

Chinese Fund Drive
Example to Negroes

New York. Nov. "A recent
parade through New York's Chin
eso district to raise funds to aid
China in the war with Japan rails.
ed a total of $1,000 in a few minu
ties. Contributions were tossed into
flags and banners carried by young
women and long strings to which
were tied bills of all deminations
were fed into the mouth of a cloth
dragon.
Pointing out that New York's
Chinese population is many times
smaller than it's Negro population,
the NAACP today cited the sacri-
fee of the Chinese people for their
strickened nation as an example TO
he followed by colored Americans.
The New York parade was only
one small part of the money which
mos. Chinese are raising and send
ing to their home land. San Fran
cisco Chinese are reported to have
already sent $1,000, 900 back home.
"Colored people r being mis-
treated and denied opportunities
every day in the year" said the
NAACP statement, "but il the
moro fortunate members of the
race would sacrifice and raise the
funds necessary to carry on the
fight for their brothers, much
greater progress could be made
against the handicaps we face. We
also have an example from the
Jewish people who are raising this
year more than four million dollars
to aid Jews in other parts of the
world. The millions of colored Am
orleans, even though they + not
wealthy, could raise a fund TO
fight for their rights which would
change the picture within a year"

Dies In Attempt To
Save His Son-in-law

New Orleans, Nov. A (ANP)-
Wesley Lewis. 40 years old died a
hero's death last Monday morning
as he vainly tried to save the life
his son-in law, Walter Lemieux, 20.
Both men worked at the Celotex
Company plant at Marrero and
were assigned to be a big crane
used to unload freight cars.
At the time of the accident the
crane was being moved from one
part of the plant to the other, with
Lemieux walking at the rear Of the
crane and helping to turn it by pry-
ing his crowbar beneath the wheels.
As the machine turned, it suddenly
came in contact with a high tension
wire, the steel frame of the crane
completing the electric circuit and
sending the 1900 volts through
Lemieux' body. His father-in law,
Lewis, seeing his plight, ran to the
rescue, was also electrocuted as he
tried to free Lemieux' body frozen
to the steel wheels. Other workers
shouted to Wilfred Dufresne, OPP
orator of the crane, to remain in
the control cabin until the power
could be turned off. The wooden
floor on which he was standing
saved Dufresne. DR.. M. M. Odom,
Jefferson parish coroner, investi-
gated the tragic accident.

Complete Plans For
Christmas Seal Sale

Plans are practically complete
for the opening of the thirty first
annual Christmas Seal campaign
throughout Nebraska on Thanks
giving day, November 18th, ac-
eording to Miss Alice Marshall,
executive secretary of the Nebras-
ka tuberculosis Association, who,
within the past three months, has
organized county campaigns and
appointed 156 Seal Sale chairmen.
Miss Marshall says that the need
for a vigorous program against tu-
berculosis is increasingly necessary
in view of a recent national sur
vey by the New York tuberculosis
and Health Association that re
veals tuberculosis is still the fore
most cause of death between the
ages of Is and 45.
"The tragedy of tuberculosis is
that ID strikes mainly at the most
vial elements of the community,
people in the prime of life, during
their most productive period and
greatest value to their family and
community" continues Miss Mar
shall. Tuberculosis has not been
wiped out despite every effort we
have made to do So"
Great progress has been made
since the war, but the last six or
seven years of depression have gi-
ven the disease now hold, and that
is why health leaders feel the pu-
bile must not be lulled into a sen
Sc of false security by figures show
ing a decreased death rates from
the disease" she says.
A jolly town crier provides the
basis for the design of the 1887
Christmas Seal, the little penny
stamp that finances the fight ag
ainst tuberculosis, not only in the
United States but in many other
countries. On a background of
bright blue, the town crier is pic
tured ringing his bell with his
right hand, and carrying his Ian
tern in the other. The color com
bination of the yellow rays from
the lantern, the bright red scarf
and mittens of the c%rier,, and his
brown coat, form a unique and at
tractive seal. This years seal bears
but one word, Greetings and the
year, 1887.
As is customary, Christmas
Seals will not go on sale prior to
Thanksgiving Day, so as not to
conflict with the campaign conduct
ed by the American Red Cross. All
Seal Sale efforts will be concen-
trated on the time between Thanks
giving and Christmas.

Resignation Of Noted
Social Worker Stuns
The Northwest

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. %
(ANP)-Miss w. Gertrude Brown,
head resident Of Phyllis Wheatley
Settlement House in Minneapolis
for the past 13 years has resigned
her post to become effective Nov
ember LIST.
Minnesota, and particularly
Minneapolis and st. Paul were be
wildered and stunned at the news
that their friend, benefactor and
leader for such a long time, has
decided to leave them for other
fields of endeavor. Through Miss
Browns efforts the status of the
northside community where the
house is located has been changed
from one of very ordinary proper
tions to one of outstanding import
once with its 100000 settlement
in the midst of the new PWA hous-
ing project. Negroes feel her de-
p%arture jeopardizes the status of
colored citizens of the city to an
inestimable extent, and have cir
culated petitions under the direc-
ton of the Minnesota Negro Coun-
ell asking that she reconsider her
move and decide to return at the
end of her six monhs leave of alb
sence which the board has accord
ed her in recognition of her long
service to the development of the
house. In accepting her resignation
the board passed a resolution re-
GREETING her action most sincerely.
The Council outlined her activi-
ties in their petition, and stated:
we feel that Minneapolis cannot
afford to lose this individual who
gained the prestige of being nomin-
ated to the Court of Honor as an
outstanding woman who has con
tributed toward the achievement of
Minnesota women during Women's
Week Exposition in Minneapolis.
THE only Negro so %honored). She
was selected as Americas repre-
sentative to the Women's Interna-
tional Peace Conference in Dublin,
Ireland, by Miss Jane Adams; she
is a member of the Minneapolis In
terracial Commission, Urban Lea
que Board, Twin City Federation of
Settlements; a member of the I'm
tied States Constitutional Sesqui-
centennial Committee for the city
of Minneapolis, a member of the
Advisory Board for the PWA Fed
eral Housing Project. The possibil-
ity of her definite departure jeo-
nardizes the status of colored cit
zens of the state, and we feel that
all possible efforts should be ex-
erted so we may not lose the ser
vices of n who has built up a
100000 institution, who has acted
as arbiter in every controversy of
the minority group, and whose act
iyities in interracial matters can
not be replaced"
In order to secure a cross section
of the sentiment of the community
the Council circulated petitions
which were signed by over 1900
persons urging that Miss Brown
return to Minneapolis at the ex-
piration of her we'll earned six
months leave of absence. The name
of Miss w. Gertrude Brown has
become synonymous with Phyllis
Wheatley House, and the name of
Miss Brown has stood for progress
generally among Negroes and viii
tas in Minnesota. A banquet is be-
ing given in her honor November
4th, at the University of Minnesota
Union by the citizens of the Twin
Cities to be followed by an Open
House Reception at the Settlement
House. Many of her friends from
out of the state will attend.

time of his previous arraignment,
was revoked.
The judge then ordered that
he be confined for 80 days at
hard labor, and if he would con-
sent to leave the county at the
expiration of the period, he would
be permitted to depart. Court was
then recessed until tomorrow
morning.
At the session of court yester-
day afternoon, Kermit Saunders
narrowly escaped a Jail sentence.
He was accused of a statutory Of
Tense and the trial proceeded as
ordinarily is the case, and the
Jurors retired to decide on a
verdict.
After the jury had been out
for an appreciable time they re-
turned to ask the judge questions
relative to finding the man guilty
and recommending that mercy be
extended. The judge gave the
jurors the advice requested, and
they retired
A little later on they again
came into court to announce
that they agreed to disagree and
could see no chance of reaching
a verdict. Judge Albury advised
that the case was with them and
he could see no reason why a
verdict could not be reached. He
did not think it necessary to
place uron the county the burden
of expense of another trial.
The jury left the court room
and within a brief time returned
and announced that a verdict
had been reached. When the
findings were read, Judge Albury
was astounded, he said, TO find
that the jury had brought in a
verdict of mot guilty"
