Letter Hits
Unfair Merchant
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For more than twenty years
Meyer Goldberg has operated a
shoe repair shop in the vicinity OF
Sixth Ave. and Lyndale North
More than three-fourths of his
patrons have been colored people
whose money has enabled him to
purchase his property.
This property has been occu-
pied by colored people, who have
been overcharged for rent. He also
charges them from fifteen to
twenty-five cents for botching up
their shoes.
Recently he has decided he no
longer wants to rent to colored
folks. He refuses to take their
money for rent, but for repairing
their shoes-that's his living.
have never seen his ad in a
colored paper.
1t is high time our people show
enough race pride to refuse to
patronize people like Meyer Gold
berg.

beverage than in giving the ma
tives' a real Waller show.
To. cap the climax ''Fats" did a
disappearing act at intermission
which was not explained to the
dancers and those who came to
listen. He left the band stand at
1910 and that was the last the
crowd saw of him. Hundreds of
eyes, some who came late and
hadn't had even a glimpse of him,
searched the band stand expecting
the artist to show up again.
The orchestra itself put up a
lackadaisical job. The boys got
"hot" las the musicians say only
toward the end of the ball. They
had a habit of playing number
and then "cabareting" for a few
minutes. Some of the band men
were down in the hall on the dance
floor more than they were on the
band stand.
Inquiry by reporter for this
paper as to the whereabouts of
"Fats" after he disappeared failed
to reveal the why of his absence.
A reporter talked to a member of
the committee who was at the door
and the committeeman said he
didn't know where he was.
A report that Waller left the
dance because of a sick wife was
not confirmed and no announce
ment was made concerning his fail
ure to perform after intermission.
The committee from the Eureka
Lodge which went to great expense
to book Waller did its best to give
the Twin Towns an unusual nights
entertainment, but was somewhat
frustrated by the disappearance of
Mr.. Waller.

ScOttsbOrO Boys
Meeting to Be
Held August II
MINNESOTA NEGRO COUNCIL
TO SPONSOR SCOTTSBORO
MEETING AUGUST IL

The Minnesota Negro Council is
calling mass meeting of organi-
cations formerly active in the Ma
tional Defense Committee for the
Scottsboro Boys to be held at Phyl-
lis Wheatley House on August II
at $3.50 p. m.
Speakers from various organiza-
lions and musical contributions
will make up the program.
The Council points out the fact
that although four boys were re-
leased on July "a, there are still
five boys being held in the Ala
bama prison. The State of Ala
bama admitted the falsity of the
charge against these boys when
they held them 61a years all on the
same charge, and now eases it's
conscience by a compromise" of
letting four out.
1t is for these boys still in jail
that the meeting is being called
DR.. Alain Locke of Howard Uni
versity stated upon hearing of the
release of the boys: Gully oath
with this signal victory against
Southern oppression, ought to be
another Bastille Day both for Ne
gro freedom and social justice. All
honor to Leibowitz and the I. L. D
for their courage in this fight"
Progressive leaders, black and
white, through the country are
claiming this victory for their own
and joining their efforts to carry
on determined fight until all OF
the nine boys are liberated.
The Committee is headed by Pat
Patton, Business Manager and
Treasurer of the Minnesota Negro
Council, and working with him on
this committee are: Clifford Ruck-
