EVIDENCE THAT HARRY BRIDGES
 IS COMMUNIST
House Investigating Com. mittee Has Important
 Witness at Hearing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. - Mar garet Kerr, Patriotic Society Work CT, identified for House Commit tee, photostatic copies of ap affi- davit declaring Harry Bridges, West Coast Labor leader, attended meet ings of the Communist Party as Harry Dorgan.'
 Modishly dressed, the witness, ob- viously nervous, told the Commit tee Investigating unAmerican ac- tivities, that she was an active worker for the Better American Federation for Is years and closely investigated many phases of sub versive activities in California. She is now Secretary of the Federation and lives in Los Angeles.
 Miss Kerr identified a photo static copy of an affidavit of Irving N. Markheim, stating he joined the Communist Party in Los Angeles at her suggestion and met Bridges on several occasions.
 The affidavit said Markheim' s first contact with Bridges occurred at party session in Belvidere Gar dens, Floral Street, Los Angeles, in the spring of 1883. There were or 10 persons present. Later Markheim advised her that threats had been made against his life.
 Thomas Shoemaker, Deputy Con- missioner of Immigration, delivered to the Committee the Labor Depart ment's file on Bridges deportation case and asked the committee to keep secret the names of the in- formers because they feared re- suits if their part became known. REPRESENTATIVES

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

The lady was a sight to please
the most fastidiOus eye as she
strOlled down one of our wide hand
some streets, one sunny day last
week. GOwned most becOmingly
and rObed in a late fur coat that
must have set her husband back
quite some distance, she was in
deed attractive. / was pleased
that l knew her well enough to
join in her stroll and congratulate
her upon her swell appearance.
And then, too, had a newsman's
curiosity and wanted to learn
where the swell outfit came from
and what it cost.
Leading guardedly up to that
point, the lady laughed and said,
you'll be surprised, though, of
course, you should not be, for 1 had
been reading in our paper how the
women of our group could help
quite bit by going to the bust
nessmen who invite their trade
through its advertising columns"
So, when it became possible to
buy a really good coat, l came to
the paper for advice and direction.
"Sure enough, l found just what
was looking for, a dependable deal
er who was fair enough to place
his advertisement where l would
be sure to see it," 81 told him
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-02-04

about that, too, when l went to
select this coat. He was as pleased
as was and certainly the attention
| received in addition to the assur-
ance l had of dealing with a first
class house, made me realize that
you were indeed correct in urging
our women to exercise a little care
and take just a little trouble in
spending our money"
1 was pleased, naturally, to find
our exhortations taking such finn
hold in the minds of our women
readers.
The transaction in question in
volved only a couple hundred
dollars, but remembering the many
thousands of dollars Twin City
women spend annually with our
stores, 1 could so easily vision the
great store house of benefits that
could be opened to the group if all
of them could be induced to do as
this personable young woman had
done.
1t would mean not only greater
personal satisfaction in thus spend
ing logically, it would, in time, open
more opportunities of employment
to make possible more spending
and higher ranking of citizenship
for the group.
And it would give a higher rat
ing to your paper in advertisers
minds and enable it better to con-
duct with more favorable results
its campaign for better conditions
for its people.
It's said that a word to the wise
is sufficient. May we hope the

saved its earnings for a year, they
would have $s52.80. With this
amount of cash money the club
could get around 100000. A
store, an oil station, or woman's
hat shop would have a good start
with $1,852.80 worth of stock.
This 100000 could be borrowed
through the Associated Negro
Credit Union at a very low rate of
interest. Thus the buying clubs
would be building a business insti-
tuition and a credit union at the
same time. Since the credit union
is the financial body of the CO.
operative movement, this would be
a practical way that it could func-
ton. This is something the people
can do in their own communities
without gifts from wealthy people.

aid any clubs that are interested.

of the history and development of
the cooperative movement. But
while people are learning about
these, they can in a concrete way
begin to form buying clubs.
Let me state in a specific way as
to how this can be done. Let US
say that there are twelve families
in one block. All of the families
in this block use sugar, lard, coffee,
potatoes and bread. Let me again
say that these families get together
and organize themselves into a CO.

Dean Guy Stanton Ford, acting
president, late Monday gave The
Minnesota Daily copy of letter
dated December 20, 1887, and ad-
dressed to VIM. T. Middlebrook,
comptroller, which made this deci-
sion.
The above, taken from the Feb
ruary l, 1888, issue of The Mime
sofa Daily, the University daily
newspaper, brings to a satisfac-
tory solution a problem that long
has yexed University authorities
and been the source of much bitter
embarrassment for Negro students
of this institution.
In his letter to the Daily, Dean
Ford calls attention to a recent
vote of women students in the coop
cottages who voted 60 to "A to re-
fuse to admit Negro girls into the
cooperative dormitory. Comment
ing upon this. incident the Dean
adds these significant conclusions:
"Once person airs a prejudice,
a false consistency may make him
think he has taken a stand on a
principle for the rest of his life.
This is very easy and very unfor-
tunate in questions like those of
race and color, where emotions
need to be buried deeper each day
by an additional spadeful of rea-
son and fairness and tolerance
there is no place for intolerance
based on the things about (people)
that they cannot change by any act
of their own"
The dean might have said that
the attitude of many of these
young white women who voted to
bar cOlOred girls from OppOrtuni-
ties offered by this tax supported
institution, has its base in some
equally prejudiced minds of higher
University officials who have en-
cOuraged them to believe they be-
long to some specially endowed
group, instead of declaring with
final emphasis that the University
and all it has to offer is the COM
mon possession of all Minnesota
people without regard to color or
creed, and those not satisfied with
this fact are privileged to go else
"here' -, -. - ."

of these things wholesale. On the
sugar 70 cents would be saved, on
the lard $500, on the coffee $1,000,
on the potatoes $1.7O, and on the

The entire amount saved would
equal $16.40, which is more than
