An Original Poem


BY Jimmie Brown, Eighth grade
pupil-Coolidge Grammar School
Fall is a beautiful time of the year,
Nature spreads paint far and near,
She makes October skies a lovely
blue,
She colors the apples and pump
kins, too,
She dresses the trees in lovely
frocks,
And they p3aen themselves till
winter knocks,
Then Mother Nature lays her
paints away,
And let's her son, Jack Frost, have
full sway.

LOYALISTS FLEE
 ACROSS BORDER
(Continued from Page 1)


 Luchon chocolate factory was or dered made ready for these men and Luchon looked like a mobilization center.
 It was reported from St. Girons that 500 refugees, most of them civilians. had reached there and that 1000 in all were expected.
 The civilian refugee total, and the prospect that many more would seek safety in France, caused emergency telephonic consultations among pre- fects of the frontier departments. Mobile guard endorsements were sent to the mountain passes to aid the exhausted refugees, civilian and military, into the nearest French town.
 They were coming through the passes, struggling through snow, in struggling groups of from 20 to 30. their eyes staring in their fatigue. Some of them said they had been on the march for a week.
 French authorities worked day and night to care for the refugees, Troops were disarmed, and all were fed and vaccinated at once.
 It was necessary to arrange for new housing facilities almost every hour because the arrivals 50 far ex- ceeded advance estimates.
 The government was undecided what to do about the troops-whe- ther to intern them till the end of the war or to repatriate them to Loyalist Catalonia. For the present, 1t was arranged to send them north of the Loire river, well away from the fighting zone, for temporary in- ternment.

American Brass Company employees to take part in the strike.
 At the Jewelry street demonStra- tion this noon, speeches were made by John Driscoll, secretary of the Brass Workers Union and Alex Cashin and Philip Brainard, union organizers.
 Union Complains The union complained to Police Superintendent William J. Roach this morning that a police sergeant on duty at the Freight street gate had shown partisanship. Superin- tendent Roach assured the union that all members of the department had been instructed to remain per- fectly neutral. He said these in- structions would be repeated and emphasized.
 Striking employees of the wire mill held a meeting this morning and voted to continue their strike.
 Close to 400 American Brass work CTS gathered last night at Lord Kitchener post hall on Scovill street to discuss the situation. All but 10 voted against the strike. Those attending said they were members of the Metal Workers as- sociation, an independent union.

 Meantime union employees at the Noera Mfg. Co.,, a branch of the Chase Brass and Copper Co.,, noti- fled their employers that they will not accept an announced pay cut. Union men at the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, have already voted to go out on strike if a pay cut is announced by that firm.

MINISTER MAKES PLEA FOR LEVINE Rev. Francis Coffin Re- veals He Is Acting as
 GO=BetWeen

New Rochelle, N. Y, April 1. (UP) Tn parents of Kidnapped Peter Levine hoped today that the kid napers, who have not attempted to negotiate ransom for month, would be moved by the Rev. Francis J. H. Coffins raio plea last night.
 Rev. Coffin radio addressed him. self directly to kidnapers in a na- tion-wide broadcast and revealed for the first time that he had been selected by them on March 1 as go-betWeen to handle the $3O,OOO ransom for return of the 12-year- old boy who disappeared Feb. "A.
 For Gods safe act, and act promptly" he pleaded. He is rector of St. Johns Episcopal church at Larchmont.
 On March l, he said, he received an anonymous telephone call direct ing him to a note that the kidnapers had placed near his church. A tele- phone operator listened to the con- versation and notified the police, who arrived at the spot before the minister did and took the note. Rev. Coffin believed that this police activity had caused the kidnapers to withdraw from negotiations.
 He asked another chance to pay the ransom and said: T am speak ing as minister of God, 1t is per- fectly safe to make contact. We will meet you anywhere at any time, and with complete safety to you."
 T beg you with all the heart and sincerity I possess. To prove to us that Peter is alive. I am sure you have not lost all human feeling. There must be some pity in your heart for those parents who are go- ing through such anguish"
 He spoke from the home of Le- vines friend, Leo Brecher, where the Columbia Broadcasting com- pany arranged a hook-up with its station WABC. He was accompanied to the home by the Levines. The father spoke first, introducing the minister and expressing thanks for his efforts to reach the kidnapers.
 "He is one of Gods noblemen," Levine said.

OPPOSITION TO
 BILL INCREASING
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D
 Bankhead, however, reiterated his confidence that the bill will pass but refused to predict whether it would get through without being amended.
 He admitted some congressman might be influenced by the flood of telegrams. He said ke had received many telegrams, but none from his home state of Alabama. Virtually all, he said, were from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu- sets and Michigan.
 The administration opened it's fight to limit debate as the house convened for it's second day of de- bate on the bill.
 Chairman John J. Cochran, D., Mo-, of the house reorganization committee, twice asked unanimous consent to conclude general debate today. Both times, his request was blocked by a democrat-Rep. Mar tin L. Sweeney of Ohio. Under house rules, a single dissent can block such request.
 Finally, Cochran attempted to enter a formal motion to end gen. eral debate today. Again Sweeney headed him of, demanding quorum call designed to bring ab- sent members to the floor of the house.
 Cochran's proposed agreement was satisfactory to the republican strat- egists, Rep. John Taber. New York, and Minority Leader Bertrand H. Shell, R., N. Y. Taber even sought to dissuade Sweeney, but the Ohio democrat was adamant.
 The senate spent 30 days debat- ing the anti-lynching bill," Sweeney said. This bill has aroused the in- terest of the entire country and we are rushing it through. The house is always the goat. object!"
 Rep. John O'Connor, New York, another democrat opposing the measure, warned Cochran against trying to "shut of debate"
 "I'd not try to jam it through" |" O'Connor said.
 Cochran finally moved to conclude general debate. But Rep. Carl E. Mapes, R., Mich, made the point of order that such motion could not be made until the house went into committee of the whole. Bankhead upheld him and the quorum call began. It is 8 length procedure, in- volving calling the name of every member of the house. Bells changed in corridors of the house and the house office buildings, warning ab- sent members that important busi- ness was occurring on the floor.

JAW. GETS EW YEAR AGREEMENT
Chrysler Corp Signs Re- neWal Just Before Old
 One Expires

Detroit, Mich, April 1-(UP)-A new one-year agreement with the Chrysler corporation today gave the United Automobile Workers their first renewal of contracts obtained during sit-doWn strikes in the au- tomobile industry year ago.
 The Chrysler renewal was signed at 10 o'clock last night, two hours before the old contract expired. There had been reports of an im- pending strike all day, although union leaders denied them, and ChrySler officials had announced that they were ready to meet any walkout in the Plymouth plant by closing it.
 The new agreement provided 8 one-year extension of the existing contract, which gives the U. A. w. the right to bargain only for its members and provides seniority rights and committee system.
 The threat to negotiations had been the unions demands for two new concessions: CD an agreement that there would be no wage cuts; CD that the U. A. w. would be re- lieved of its pledge not to strike.
 It was rumored that John L. Lewis, head of the Committee for Industrial Organization, entered the negotiations by long distance tele- phone from Washington, and that he had conferred with Chrysler officials just before the renewal was announced.

Pullman company.
In the early days, parties, teas,
dances and various forms of en-

funds to help the porters in their
heroic attempt to build a trade
union organization for their own
salvation. Many times the ladies'
auxiliary came to the rescue of
the Brotherhood in different Sec

True, all the women were not

Tacoma Editor Says Pierce County
Citizens Eyeing Liquor Board Battle
To Make Actions Campaign Issue; Urge Race To
Apply Pressure on Candidates

Art Cabell, Tacoma editor of the
Northwest Enterprise, upon visit
ing the Seattle offices had the fol-
lowing to say relative to the fight
being waged upon the State Liquor
Board for discriminatory practices,
Negroes living in Tacoma are
heartily in accord with the stand
taken by the Northwest Enterprise
in supporting the contention of Mu-
sicians, Entertainers and Walters,
as well as persons who have been
refused a license to do legitimate
business What effects colored
people living in one section of our
state is bound to reflect in other
sections" said Mr.. Cabell.
Should Mobilize for Action
Mr.. Cabell further stated that
many of the people living in his
city held the opinion that the race
should mobilize for militant action
against the Liquor Board. That
every official who might have
some influence upon the admin
stration be urged to leave no stone
unturned to put an end to any un-
fair practice. Letters and petit
tons should flood the offices of
candidates to the legislature de-
manding that they take some ac-
ton now and after election to re-
medy this condition.
Committee Heartened By Help
Members of the committee who
originally started the fight against
the Board for its unfair practices
were heartened by the pledge of
assistance from race members and
their friends in other sections of
the state. A fair deal is all that
they ask for, the spokesman said,
not mass of technicalities and so
on, given them for an answer-the
right to make a living at the pro-
fession that they have trained for,
and not having places barred from
operation because Negro help is
desired. The committee further
reiterated their previous state
