Heres what Black himself said when
on February 1a, 1880, he was at

YOUNGSTOWN, %. (ANP)-Two
former Negro councilmen will wage
vigorous fight in their respective
wards before the coming election
w. S. Vaughn, fifth ward, and Wes-

men in question.
Vaughn has represented that ward

candidates. Dodson, an ex-council--

u. C. <. Anniversary

The first anniversary Of the
United Government Employees is
soon to be appropriately celebrated,
and on the record, there is one
thing to celebrate for. This organi
cation has accomplished the remark
able feat of gessing more thar
100000 in pay increases for low
paid government employees Of the
Capitol, War and Interior depart
ments. Also, sin New York, Chicago
and Baltimore the U.G.E. gained
permanent Civil Service appoint
ments for 70 colored clerks with the
Social Security Board
In the Investigations which pre-
ccded the actual granting Of pay in
creases to the lowest paid group Of
government workers, it was discover
ed that some had served the govern
| ment for "a years without increase.
Other clases Of workers, which are
/ better organized, have secured in
crease after increase. But not so
the class which needed it most.
The U.G.E., Edgar G. Brown
president, stands for a $1,000 mini
mum wage for all government en-
ployees in the Federal and District

1t is no longer Mr. Justice Black.
1t is Klansman Black
Justice Black and "Klansman'
Black are not harmonious terms; and
since Mr.. Black himself asserted over
the radio, II joined the Klan,"
there is no doubt about who he is.
Klansman Black has been loaded
down with Catholic secretary, a
J.wi.ll law clerk, and a colored
messenger No matter. All the
waters Of the Atlantic and the Pa
sl!ie cannot wash away his oath to
Ku Klux terrorism, taken after he
reached his majority. Had Mr.. Black
been charged with something for
..h;ch he was not responsible, there
might be some room for a charitable
attitude toward him, but such is not
the case.
Of course Mr.. Black now says he
is not in sympathy with the Klan.
A great many people would drop the
Ku klux Klan, and many other ties
and affiliations, if by so doing they
might win greater appreciation from
their fellows, not to mention inn
/ portant salary increases.
1t is now eight Supreme Cour
Justices, and one Klansman. Were

How far would life Insurance

He leaves his family whatever is

81, 200 for the cost OF dying. If there
is mortgage on your home, add
that too. How much is left, and
how far would it carry your family?
Would your family have an ade--
quate income If you should die too
soon? Will you have a regular in

tirement age?
These questions you should ask
yourself .ncW-for tomorrow may
be too late.
Too many of our people are pas-
sing away with little Or no insur-
ance.
This is due to 4 number of rea-
sons. Mainly because we don't take
our insurance or protection serious
" enough. We put other things ir
front Of our insurance instead ol
paying it first. We don't seem te
realize that our life is not guaran-
teed, that we may die before we get
the bills paid for which we are ne
glecting our insurance. and then al
is lost. By keeping your insurance
paid up you haven't a guarantee
against life but you will against
your investments.
It is a very pathetic situation after
someone dies or becomes seriously

Durham Bank
Recently we had occasion to talk
with Mr.. r. Z. McDougald, vice
president and cashier of the Mechan-
les & Farmers Bank Of Durham, NC.
AS we talked, we could see white
men and women in line, marching
to the tcller's window to make de-
posits or Withdrawals, in the routine
of the day.
1t is Mr.. McDougald's S belief that
a bank run by colored people can
just as well do business with white
people, and maintain the same rules
| Of efficiency, courtesy, and safety for
| all. At first this idea was somewhat
| novel for the South, but the Dur
| ham bank has quietly gone ahead,
and now it's policy is being more
widely accepted and approved by
| both races. The white banks accept
The bank run by colored people as
| another financial institution Of the
| city, which means the Mechanics
| Bank is given a good rating along
with al the banks Of the city.
/ Backing UP this new spirit is the
coming in Of accounts from public
service corporations, and municipal,
| county and state governments.
As a further indication Of what
successsful bank management can
bring to the group, this year the
Durham colored bank executives
were invited to attend the bankers
institute at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill. If the Me-
chanics Bank is to be accepted as q
. part Of the financial community, then
it follows that the executives OF the
bank should have ~ opportunity
to get the latest and best infornaa-
ton on policies and practices in bank
management. Hence the invitation
| The Mechanics executives, of course
readily accepted the invitation, at
tended all sessions of the institute
for week, and were greatly bene-
fitted.

LABOR GROUP ASKS BAN ON
 SILVER NIGHT
Central Council Also Op. poses Firecrackers on
 Fourth of July

The abolishment of Silver Nights" tat local theatres, or their drastic revision, and the complete abolish ment of the sale and shooting of fireworks in the city limits were de- manded in unanimous votes of the Central Labor Council last night at the semi-weekly meeting of the group at Union Hall.
 Action on Silver Night" on which occasion local theatres have offered cash awards for attendance. fol- lowed a report by Chris Hennings, president, last night of his discus sions with the City Council.
 The resolution which will be sent to the City Council requests that the latter either abolish Silver Nights or else limit the prizes so that the sum offered each week be given away"
 The stand against the firecrack- CTS on the Fourth of July followed a resolution drawn up by the Car Ipenters local several weeks ago in which they suggested that all fire crackers be banned as "a safety measure and as a protection against fire"
