Navy Boys Invite
Young Folks To Dance

Many young women of the COM
munity have this week received
invitations to a dance given by the
colored personnel of the United
States Ship Arizona at Craven
Center Puget Sound Navy Yard,
Bremerton, Washington, Friday
June 10, 1888.
This is the third such affair this
spring, sponsored by the United
States Government in an endeavor
to bring clean, wholesome and in
spring fun to our colored boys It
is gratifying that Uncle Sam has
seen this need which was recog-
nized several years ago by our
own local Y. M. c. A.
There is adequate chaperonage
at all of these affairs, many moth
ers accompanying their own
daughters and great caution is
taken by Navy officials to guard
the girls from any possible danger
or even slight offense.
Invitation lists are prepared
and checked in advance.

stilled the voice of our friend,
Clarence R. Anderson. Tacoma

Spokane gave him the rudiments
of his education. Graduating from
one of it's high schools, his friends

of the finest demonstrations ever

defend his newly won honors in
the intellectual world. He came to
Seattle, entered the University of

Here he lowered his bucket. He

Ford Opens Tenth
Communist Convention

NE WYORK (CNA)-The tenth
bi-annual convention of the Com
munist Party of the u. S. A. was
opened here May 26, by James w.
Ford, Negro Communist leader,
who welcomed 1900 delegates from
48 states in colorful mass meet
ing at huge Madison Square Gar
den. An estimated 10000 visitors
attended the opening meeting.
The Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn broadcast a description of the
meeting over a nationwide hook
up.
In his welcoming speech, Ford
referred to the large numbers of
Negro delegates and visitors pres
emit. He cited the presence of mix
ed delegates from every state of
the union, including the Southern
states, as symptomatic of the
growing unity of the American
people, achieved, he asserted, by
the Democratic Front" of pro-
gressive forces in the nation.
William z. Foster, introduced by
Ford as chairman of the evening,
declared that the party, since its
last convention, had grown from
$4,000 members to $4,000. The
main address of the evening was
made by Earl Browder, secretary
of the party, who spoke on why
America is interested in the Com
munist Party"

Washington Eagle, National Elk Paper
Features Artical By John 0. Lewis
Cooperative Moves AS Help To Elk Units Urged

persons occupied in mental posi-
tons than any other group; abil-
ity, courage, and ambition, not
withstanding. However, the race
has a very vital asset in it's pur-
chasing power. OF course this po-
tent force must be cultivated, sue
cared, nursed, and properly di-
rected to create a mass pressure
opening the doors of employment.
Last year during the visit of the
Grand Exalted Ruler, DIR. j. Finley
Wilson to the coast, upon discuss
ing the possibilities of Elkdom TAX
ing the iniative in directing race
purchasing power into proper
channels, he remarked, eff we
could only scratch the surface,
what service would be rendered.
Our program must become part of
rally point for twelve million
Americans, must be comprehensive
to all create spirit of adora-
ton to things Negroid, Great re-
spect, friendship, and reverence"
The. cooperative move gained
early prominence in the Scandi-
navian countries. Some say the
move originated as buying clubs
where a number of friends and
relatives pooled their resources to
purchase at a rate below the mar
ket. Today the cooperatives in
Sweden, Norway and Denmark are
institutions. Space does not per-
nit more than a scant mention of
these great enterprises which have
served as model for most of the
cooperatives in the world. This
movement is not regulated to the
purchasing commodities at a min
imum cost but the principles are
applicable to many fields of en-
deavor. The move is young, and
the possibilities affect all phases
of business and social life. The
fundamentals, however, are identi-
cal in that the success of the move
depends upon the interested indi-
vidual adhering strictly to the pro-
gram.
Grocery COOperatives
In the city of Seattle, where the
race population is rather small,
there is a grocery cooperative
owned and operated by Negroes.
This Coop is a unit in a group of
Co-ops who pool their purchasing
power in order to compete with
chain stores. On many articles
they undersell the chains. Also
the city of Seattle is the official
testing unit for the Department of
Economics Lewis plan.
The plan has been endorsed by
several organizations and is adj
hered to by many. The opportun-
ity to study methods of coordina-
ton has been afforded in this eco
nomical laboratry, and complete
reports of all activities will be
made at the Grand Lodge in Bal
timore. The results of experiments
and tests have proven satisfactory,
and valuable information has been
disclosed.

Former Officers To Be Sentenced
June Ii By Judge Malcolm Douglas

Former police officers Fred Pas
chal, w. F. Stevenson, and Patrick
Whalen will appear before Super
ior Court Judge Douglas for SEN
tence Saturday morning. They
were convicted of manslaughter,
which carried a mandatory sem
tence of twenty years. 1t is ex-
pected they will appeal.
On the night of March 26 last
officers Paschal, Stevenson and
Whalen arrested Berry Lawson,
young Negro waiter, waking him
up from sleeping in chair in the
lobby of a cheap hotel. Half an
hour later Lawson was dead in
the city hospital. The officers
claimed he fell down the stairs
after jerking away from them, and
struck his head on a pillar at the
bottom of the stairs.
Witnesses proved that Lawson
walked to the car, and that he was
assaulted in the hotel lobby by the
officers. Also Lawson was on his
feet, and no blood on him, when
for some unexplainable reason he
was segregated from the other
prisoner arrested at the same time
he was. Twenty minutes later he
was dragged into the booking Of
flee dead, and lying in a pool of
blood Testimony disclosed that the
officers bribed two witnesses, and
concocted a false story, attempt
ing to prove Lawson met his un-
timely end by accident. At the
trial they refused to testify in
their own behalf, apparently to
avoid cross examination by Hen
ry Clay Agnew, who prosecuted
the case for the state. It was quite
obvious that the defense attor-
neys only hope was for a hung
jury, and they used every method
possible to prejudice the jury be-
cause of the victims race. There
was never any doubt in the minds
of the jury as to the guilt of the
former officers, only what to con-
vict them of, second degree muir
der of manslaughter. 1t is ex-
pected if denied new trial they
will appeal to the supreme court.
However, persons well versed in
the law give them little chance for
a new trial.

BY JOHN LEWIS
Seattle, Wash.

1t is anticipated that the Grand
Lodges Department of Economics
will extend activities in the coop
erative field, DUE to gratifying re-
suits from experiments. Brother
]. A. Billboard" Jackson, Bust
ness Specialist and Standard Oils
special representative, who is
Grand Commissioner of Economics,
highly favors the cooperative move.
Brother Jackson's position carries
him over eighteen states where he
is in constant contact with the
businessmen of the nation. He has
delivered more addresses on eco
Monies than any living member of
the race, and his many contacts
equip him with an accurate yard
stick. Cooperatives as an Elk
move, with instructions for estab-
fishing units under the department
of economics, will be available to
all Lodges and Temples, and in
terested groups.
Last year at Cleveland cooper
atives were discussed extensively,
and constructive legislation passed
and adopted to intensity the move.
This legislation originated with
Brother John o. Lewis, editor of
the Northwest Enterprise, and
District Deputy of Western Wash
ington, who presented it to the
Educational and Economical Con-
gress, and the Grand Lodge. 1t is
known as the Lewis plan, and it's
program for individual action can
be summarized in the Greed"
which is as follows
"Tn all of my daily purchases
will make sure the merchant
and the merchandise with whom
1 trade, besides meeting fair
competition, maintains a policy
of fairness towards my people"
1t is not necessary to establish
the imperative need for closer CO.
operation if the race is to advance
to ultimate parity, assidious ap-
plication of a true cooperative spir-
it must exist. This alturistic dog
ma has been animated by several
minority groups, who today re-
ceive little, if any discrimination
in American Life.
Make Opportunity for Youth
Elkdom is assisting in the train
ing of young men and women, that
might be better qualified to COM
pete in all walks of life. Too much
praise cannot be given the Educa-
tional Department and its out
standing head. Judge VIM. C.
Hueston, Grand Commissioner of
Education, but there must be an
opportunity available for our young
people upon completion of their
education. Elkdom therefore is con-
fronted with the task of assisting
the graduate as well as the stu
dent. Through the cooperative
move much can be accomplished.

large a percentage of educated
