greatest book in the world known to us
as the Bible. These interesting lee
lures designed to simplify the more
difficult passages of the Bible precede
the evening preaching services.

Mortgage Rally Day which falls on
the 10th of November By glancing at
the calendar we find that the time is

however, in the long run we'll come
out on top and gain much satisfaction

CHICAGO PARLEY PUSHES
FIGHT FOR ANTI-JIM
CROW LAWS

CHICAGO, Oct.-(CNA). A 1egis
lative conference, similar to that or.
ganized in Harlem, New York City
some months ago, was launched or
the South Side this week by delegates
from more than 1000 organizations.
Among the subjects discussed were
proposals for legislation to outlaw re-
strictive housing covenants, to prevent
discrimination against Negro workers
by public utilities, to expand and i'm
prove the state housing program, Gre
alton of little Wagner Labor Rela-
tons Act for Illinois, more adequate
relief standards and social legislation
and civil rights.
In explaining the aims of the con-
ference, George F. McGray, secretary
of the sponsoring committee, told your
correspondent:
Thoughtful people in the commun-
ity of both races have long realized
the need for a permanent non-partisan
body which could rally community
support behind needed legislation.
"The steps we are taking are the
political counterpart of organizations
being built among Negro workers and
Negro consumers to promote the well
fare of the community. For example,
thousands of Negro workers are join
ing both the A. F. of L. and CIO
unions to improve their working con-
ditions and to increase their wages.
Negro consumers are organizing to
force employers in the community to
give Negro people fair share of the
jobs.
What is more sensible for the COM
munity than to organize as voters to
fight for better housing and relief laws,
Civil rights laws and other laws of
vital interest to the community" he
The white pair admitted, "You have
continued. "We feel that only through
such conference can democracy be !
made effective in the South Side Com
munity."

from the Democratic party back to the

Senator Joseph F. Guffey, leading

full and dishonest"
Vann, long Republican,, jumped

Assistant to the Attorney General 1t

cause he had nothing to do" but pose
at his desk, and he resigned in Jan

trouble with the Democratic leaders
during the SO campaign. He thought
he was to lead the colored forces of
the nation, but was relegated to leader

Since leaving Washington Vann has
campaigned for place for himself on
