Pittsburgh Hotels
Sued for Negro
Discrimination

Pittsburgh, Pa, (Alpd)-Negro
communities throughout the coun-
try are keenly following the fight
being waged by the American
League for Peace and Democracy
against the practice of Negro dis
elimination by Pittsburgh hotels.
During the Peoples Congress re-
Gently held in this city, prominent
Negro delegates were denied ac-
commodations by the William Penn
Hotel, in violation of the Pennsyl-
vania Equal Rights Law. These
delegates, Arnold P. johnson of the
A. w. P. R. A., Vernal ]. Williams,
of the West Indian Defense Com
mittee, Angelo Herndon and Moran
Weston of the National Negro Con-
gress instituted a suit against the
Pittsburgh Hotels, Inc, Managers
of the William Penn Hotel. They
secured as counsel, l. Edward Roth
and two other members of the Allie
gheny Bar.
A preliminary hearing took place
on December 18th and the case was
referred to the Grand Jury. Mass
Meetings have been held in Negro
churches and pledges of support
have come in from outstanding
civil leaders, including Homer s,
Brown, Negro member of the state
legislature.
Notice of the hearing has ap-
peared in all Pittsburgh papers as
we'll as in the student publication
of the University Of Pittsburgh.

HOnOred After
81 Years. Service

Grand Forks, N. D.-Henry
Turner, 60, of Grand Forks, N. D.,
a brakeman on the Great Northern
lines for 80 years, now retired, was
made a life member of the Veter-
ans Railway Association last week.
He was presented an honorary
membership card, the honor being
conferred upon him by Mr.. r. L.
Bantam of st. Paul, secretary of
the Great Northern Railway Co.
Mr.. Turner, the first Negro re-
tired pensioner in this district, has
lived in Grand Forks 33 years. He
resigned his duties October 81,
1887.
He is one of the three Negro
brakemen on the Great Northern
system.

that his money and jewelry was
found on his dresser strengthened
the belief in some quarters of the
possibility of foul play. A note
which he is reported to have left
presumably gave no ineligible
reason for his disappearance. 1t
was generally known, however,
that he was in a nervous condition
due to overwork.
In some quarters it was sug-
gested that he is a victim of
amnesia and that he has wandered
away.
Police of both cities tracked
down every possible clue while the
family and friends discussed any
possible reason why Neal would
voluntarily disappear.
At the 500 Line R. r. treasurers'
office where he was employed for
over 80 years, extreme surprise
was expressed by his superior off
GERS who were shocked by his dis
appearance.
When questioned regarding
suicide theory, W. Squire Neal, his
brother, could give no reason why
the missing man would want to end
his own life. He held out hopes
that his brother might be found
alive.
John Neal was one of the best
liked and respected men in the
Twin Cities, was quiet, modest and
retiring. His indnesses were
known to be many and he was one
of the few business men who APP
parently had no enemies.
His disappearance has over

community to welcome the New

Calvin Predicts
By Cecil E. Newman


FlOrida's winter publicity bu-
reaus and Chambers of Commerce
tell beautiful tales of FlOrida's
balmy winter climate but say
nothing about that states lynching
record. A press release with photos
of FlOrida's favOrite outdoor sport
mixed with the usual photos of
shapely, slightly adorned bathing
beauties ought to pep up the tour
ist travel from the North.
That fellow from North Dakota
who wrote to a Twin City daily de-
handing to know why we talk
about protecting our citizens in
China when we don't or won't pro-
tect citizens at home, had some
thing there. While he wasn't talk
ing about lynchings what he said
was applicable. Few will believe
that the lack of prosecution of the
lynchers of 5000 persons in the
last 60 years was one of the
foundation stones in the wave of
lawlessness from which this coun-
try suffered until Federal inter
vention.
Floyd Calvin, editor of Calvin's
Newspaper Service, lists 10 best
stories carried by Negro press in
1887.
CaIvin's list:
1. Joe Louis won world heavy
weight championship.
2. Four ScottsbOrO boys freed in
Alabama
3. Mrs. Bethune holds successful
convention in Washington.
4. r. f. Clement named presi-
dent of Atlanta University.
5. $11, 9O9, 900 produced in first
National Negro Insurance Week.
6. Bishop w. H. Heard dies.
Z. Henry Armstrong crowned
featherweight champion.
8. Marian Anderson takes New
York in recital.
9. Brud Holland named on foot
ball AlI-American team.
10. Mrs. ROOsevelt's activity in
racial affairs.
In addition Mr.. Calvin made a
news forecast for 1888 in which he
predicts:
Joe Louis will keep heavyweight
title. The Anti-Lynching bill will
become law. Hollywood will en-
ploy more colored talent. Expect
to see a Negro in Big League
Baseball. New white collar jobs
will open through public utilities.
Negro vote will be decisive in con-
gressional elections. Race will de-
velop a new literary sensation.
Theatrical world will get a new
colored international star. Negro
will be own representative in new
official councils, and expect more
high Negro Federal and State ap-
pointments.
