NEWARK, N. ]. Charging
that hostile interests were circula-
ting propaganda to destroy unity
of action in the fight against Civil
Service discrimination in New Jer-
sey, j. Mercer Burrell, general
chairman of the committee staging
the Protest Mass Meeting in Tren-
ton on April 254th, issued a state
ment last Monday.
when the Negroes of New Jer-
sey were about to achieve the
greatest unity in many years ir
attacking prejudice and discrimi-
nation in Civil Service, someone
throws monkey wrench into the
machinery by arousing jealousy
among various organizations pre-
viously working in harmony" said
the former New Jersey legislator,
in referring to a recent syndicated
the oath was started by the N. J.
release in which the N. A. A. C. P.
Protest Committee.
1.-THE Protest Mass Meeting of
was alleged to have attacked the
State Association of Elks primar-
lily because Bro. Walter G. Shouse
of Princeton, president of the
State Association, and also Bro.
Ira G. Collins of Fidelity Lodge,
Jersey City, had been the victim
of alleged prejudice and discrim-
nation in appointments to the Mo-
tor Vehicle Department as Exam
iner and Inspector respectively
after qualifying under Civil Ser
vice. Similar cases in other De-
partments had come to our at
tention, and it became evident that
there was a growing sentiment in
New Jersey to pass over colored
Civil Service applicants.
The Elks decided to arouse the
colored citizens of the State to the
grave danger, and also to show
to those having appointing au-
thority, our mass resentment. This
movement was preceded by a bar
rage of kilograms, letters, resolu-
tons and delegations, specifically
protesting to Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Magee in the Shouse
case. These activities began last
December"
Calling attention to the joint
statement which had been issued
last month by representatives of
the Elks' General Committee and
by thhe State Conference of N. A.
A. c. P. Branches sponsoring the
IRA Collins Defense Fund Com
mittee," Burrell said, 1.-THE N. A.
A. c. P. and the General Commit
tee have been working in the
closest harmony, with three prom
inent officers of the N. A. A. c. P.
named as officers of our Citizens
Committee; and with prominent
Elks also acting as N. A. A. C. P.
local officials.

Notes This is the first of a SER
les of articles dealing a0ith certain
phrases of economic pressure as
applied to professional members OF
the Negro race. Following install
naemts loiH appear at an early date.
In the city of Seattle as in every
metropolitan city the Negro popu-
lation is vital factor in the life
of the community. Because of ma
tural talent for music and enter
tanning we find in all urban CEN
ters a goodly number of musicians,
singers, and entertainers. Now
the money earned by people in the
entertaining world, filters down,
and circulates into all branches of
race, and other businesses. This
establishes without any grounds
for contradiction, the fact that
members of the race who pursue
the profession of entertaining for
a livelihood ar ca financial asset
to the community when working.
When not working, like other
workers out of job, they become
a burden to someone.
Because of natural ability and
talent, many Negroes have sacri-
feed to make it possible that their
offsprings could have the advan-
tage of musical, or vocal train
ing. 1t is heartrending, and pa
thetic, as well as financial TRACE

Still Coughing?

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids na- ture to soothe and heal the infamed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
 Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, try Creomul- sion. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene- its obtained from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not two, and it has no hyphen in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and you'll get the genuine product and the relief you want. (Adv)
