That is to say, we have a neutrality

Harlem Corporation

Harlem, the great colored sector of New York City, has
at last the beginnings OF a home grown product which may
yet redeem the name of the metropolis wherever big bust
news among Negroes is discussed.
Tt rs a fact That up to now, the major big businesses
have been very largely of the individual type We have evin-
ced no great talent for successful organization from the COM
mercid profit motive. Now we have the United Mutual Ben
eft Association which to begin with, is the outgrowth of CO.
operative action On the part of wdl known colored New York
citizens which is making commendable progress since its in
ception four years ago. A 100000 business with ~$2,500,00O
insurance in force on the lives of 5000 people at the begin
ming of the year, to March 81, it paid $4,000 to agents SAL
900 TO office employees and $1,000 to medical examiners since
July II, 1888.
The president of the United Mutual is A. A. Austin, well
known New York real estate operator; Dir. c. N. Ford, a Me-
harry graduate is vice president; G D. King, another noted
realty man is secretary; r. o. Mitchell, fraternal figure, is the
treasurer. Among the well known men on the board are James
II Hubert of the New York Urban League, Rev. John II.
johnson of st. Martins Church, and former Marshall Javan
Steele. The office manager is the nationally known newspaper
woman, Ferol V. Smoot.
-Four years. ago an idea, today a reality, with offices in
Harlem, Brooklyn, Jamaica, and Buffalo, this enterprise COM
posed If native and foreign-born Negroes is proof that regard
less of diverse elements entering the equation, Negro minds
can meet and can work together tremendously, in Harlem, for
that greater good which can come only by organization.

Wide Market
And nee a composer has found
himself, there exists a market for
his wares such as was undreamed
of at the turn of the century. Ra-
dio is going to become more and
Unsuitable in it's demands.
With a growing number of indus
trial concerns sponsoring programs
of so-called classical" music, de
rectors are avid for new scores,
both for the purpose of novelty and
to forestall a literal w~earing-out #
standard literature.
Cinema tycoons have learned that
original music scores can establish
atmosphere more effectively and at
thousands of dollars less cost than
can be achieved with elaborate
stage settings. The demands of
that mad-house industry in Holly
wood are gruelling, but if the
young composer can stake it" sue
cess is there and the rewards sub
stantial.
And that major symphony Dr.
chestras are on the alert for the
new has been evidenced in the re-
cent recognition of John Hefti, a
University of Omaha student. by
Stokowski's Philadelphia band.
1t is perhaps exaggeration to say
that this is a golden age for the
American composer, but at least he,
along with the rest, is confronted
with unprecedented opportunities.
However, the fact must not be over
looked that his music must be good,
in fact "plenty good" before he can

Significant Advantage
One of the most significant adj
vantages to have been placed at the
disposal of the young composer in
recent years has been orchestral
groups which can and are willing to
give of their time to serve as test
ing grounds or laboratories. Any
musician worthy of the name can
hear with his eyes and know how a
printed page will sound. But many
inexperienced writers at times find
themselves deceived in matters of
tonal c~oloration and balance in or
chestral scores.
Here at home our University of
Omaha orchestra stands available
at all times to give any young
writer a hearing of music he may
have written, that he may know
the effectiveness or weakness of
his effort and profit thereby.
Similarly, school orchestras all
over the land offer such assistance

Economic ReVie "

Quoting News Week, Per
haps never in history has there
been as wide a divergence be-
tween the state of business as
revealed by earnings reports
and the level of stock prices.
Measured by third-quarter ear
nings, industry and trade are
almost booming in this eoun-
try measured by stock prices,
business is definitely in the
doldrums.'
With the exception of auto,
au.o parts and food products
companies, which showed mod
crate declines in earnings nine
months of this year as COM
pared with The same period IN
1886, the earnings picture IS
very good. A representative

With earnings at these high
levels, why, then, are stock
Prices sagging, along with bus
mess confidence-that psychic
logical factor which is some
times more important than the
hard, unimaginatiye prodne-
ton figures. There are a num-
Der of reasons.
In the first place, the tax
problem is more involved now
than ever. Business feels that
such taxes as the Undistribut-
ed Profits levy and the Capital
Gains levy are decisive detri-
ments. The proponents of these
taxes feel they are necessary
to protest us against another
inflationary boom of the 1928
variety. Decisive factor in the
dispute is the Administration,
which has had little to say, and
championed these taxes in the
past. Hopeful sign, from bust
ness point of view, is the un-
questionable increase in Con
gressional sentiment for repeal
or radical revision of the tax
es-if this goes far enough,
some think Mr.. Roosevelt will
take the lead and advocate
changes.
In the third place, the thot

minor one is sufficient to stond

An Echo [

1y#S. l.. hilbert

the most aamentable fact Of all
times: that here in America,
The land of the free and the
home of the brave $500 lynch
ings have taken place since the
Civil War, and in the last few
years despite the rise of pub
lie sentiment against the grue-
some unAmerican practice, a
veritable wave of lynchtngs
and terror has swept over
the country. Black America,
the time has iOme when you
must rise up and demand that
a stop be put to tis vigilante
terror being perpetrated "a
gainst a people, that has been
the means through which Am
erica has been built up to be
the greatest nation of all time.
In Washington now, the sec
onl session of the 18th Con-
gress is assembled with the an
tilynching bill holding the sec
ond position on the agenda of
bills to be considered.
With the bill holding the
best position it has ever held,
onscrupaous maneuyers are
being enacted by pro-lynching
groups to sidetrack it.
The question then arises in
every red blooded black Amer
lean what can be done toward
urging your representative in
Congress to support the Anti
Lynching Bill.
...... The answer is there is much
that we can do as individuals,
more as a group or through
orr various organizations, act
ing as a committee of the
whole. If there was a time we
as a raci5ll group needed TO
let Congress know in no UNI
certain terms that we not only
want a. law but that law mut
pass this special seslion-now
is the time
Too long have we waited,
trusting in the better nature
of various Congressman to pass
9his much needed piece of leg
~islation. Many of our congress
men-even from sections of the
deep South, favor such a law
but when they weigh the sen
timents of &heA' bosses, (the
voters) back home and their
good ten thousand a year job,
against mercy and human JUS
tice-the latter are found want
ing.
Hence it behooves us all to
write, send kilograms and res
dlutions to all Congressman,
both friends and foes.
Too often we miss a lot of
good things by just being en-
tirely too docik. Not that we
have to go into a revolution or
even revolutionary tendencies,
but any red blooded man is
not to be censored for simply
asking for the civil and state
rights granted him by the con-
Istitution of the United States.
The hue and cry of those
eongfctsman who oppose tht
bill is that it supercedes state
right, but when a state or
states consistently neglect the
rights of too large a percent
age of the citizens because they
are black, that state forfdits
