JOSEPH ALBRIGHT GIVES TIRE
MENDOUS OVATION BEFORE
FARMER LABOR CONVEN-

While flashlights popped and
movie news-reel cameras whirred,
Joseph Albright, of Duluth, stepped
to the speakers platform of the
1888 convention of the Farmer-La-
Dor convention in Duluth last Sat-
urday and received what observers
said was the greatest reception
ever rendered Negro speaker in
the history of Minnesota.
Long, indeed, will the hundreds
of persons who filled the massive
armory to overlooking remember
the mighty burst of applause that
shook the building when the ma
tional speaker of the NAACP con-
cluded his address of thanks to the
convention for its unqualified en-
dorsement of the Wagner-Van
Mugs Anti-lynching Bill. Coming
directly from presiding at an open
air mass meeting for peace spon-
sored by the American League for
Peace and Democracy where the
lergest crowd to ever attend such
a meeting in Duluth greeted him,
Albright took the platform at the
convention to deliver his address
that won him an ovation that
brought every person on the floor
and in the galleries to their feet
with wild cheer of acclaim. Al
bright was introduced by Howard
Y. Williams, State Director of Vet
erans' Relief, who referred to the
speaker as "a nationally known
worker in the cause of justice"
HighEghts of Albright's speech:

ROndO Farmer
Labor Delegates
Score Victory
RONDO CLUB DELEGATES WIN
SIGNAL VICTORY AT
CONVENTION
By Special Correspondent

The Negro citizens of Minnesota
are today indebted to the courage
GUS fight of their delegates to the
recent convention of the Farmer
Labor Association in Duluth for
the accomplishment of a far-reach-
ing victory in the historic conclave.
They went into that meeting with
determination to do two things
(a) get the conventions endorse
ment for the Wagner-Van Mugs
Anti-lynching bill, and (b) to have
the party go definitely on record
in favor of legislation to bring do
nestle workers under the benefits
of social security. They did both
by UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
Caucasing tirelessly, the Negroes
from st. Paul buttonholed dele
gates from all over the state, until
long before the resolutions commit
tee made its report it was appar-
ent that they had won.
These men, bearing with them
the stern displeasure of the Ne
groes of Minnesota for the failure
of Senators Shipstead and Lundeen
to support the cloture rule during
the recent filibuster of the Wag-
ner-Van Mugs Anti-lynching bill,
and fortified with telegram re-
ceived from the national office of
the NAACP by President r. ].
Simmons, ST., of the Duluth
branch, firmly demanded that the
party endorse the bill, thereby re-
pudiating the stand of the Sena-
tors. The resolution not only pre-
vailed on the floor, but it was made
A PLANK IN THE PLATFORM.
The entire platform as adopted
at the convention was a sweeping
gesture of liberalism and carried
matter of great Importance to the
Negro. Space will not permit a
detailed account here, but because
of the possible effect upon Negroes
some must be mentioned.
The labor plank contains a
clause which promises the support
of the party to ALL classes of
labor.
The general welfare plank has
a provision to support program
of low cost home building for
workers.
The education plank provides
for adequate funds and scholar
ships for every student.
The tax plank would exempt
levies on all homesteads.
These four positions, together
with the anti-lynching plant, vital
ly affect the welfare of the Negro.
They are matters which strike at
the very crux of Negro advance
ment, chance to work at decent
wages, the opportunity to secure a
comfortable home without financial
strain, full educational advantages
for every one of our children, and
equitable tax distribution.

When Jones went to Spiegel and
Krane to claim the 800 reward
which a sign on the front door of
the store said would be paid to
the individual responsible for the
apprehension of any person at
tempting to burglarize the prem
ises, he was told that the sign was
to protect the place from burglars.
When he and others called atten-
ton to the illegality of such a sign
the operators hurriedly took the
sign off the door.
Members of the community sur
rounding the store were open in
their condemnation of the treat
ment of Jones, whose presence of
mind saved Spiegel and Krane
from serious loss.

Avenue So, Minneapolis, was the
''hero" in the apprehension of a
burglar who attempted to rob the

ST.
The burglar, 26-year-old white
youth with a prison record, is ~
ing critically wounded, in the Min
neapolis General Hospital, from
bullets fired into his body by two
Minneapolis policemen who were
summoned by Jones.
Early Saturday morning Mr..
Jones saw a man smash the win
dow of the drug store. Shortly af-
ter the crash of the plate glass
Jones espied a police squad car as
it sped out 18th st. He waved
frantically to the police who halted
the car after driving a block be-
yond the intersection on which the
drug store is located. Jones in
formed the officers of what he had
witnessed and they approached the
drug store with drawn guns. AS
they neared the store the figure
darted through the window and
ran down the street. Orders to halt
by the police were ignored by the
fleeing figure. The officers fired a
fusillade of bullets which brought
the man down.
He was removed to the hospital
