Most everyone recalls the plot of
Macbeth either from the book
studied in school or from some
stage production. A sketch will re-
establish it.
Wife Leads PlOtters.
Macbeth, a general in the kings
army, won a great victory, as the
play opens. The king honored his
favorite subject by planning to
speed that night at his castle. I'M
mediately Macbeth and his wife re-
veal that this is the opportunity for
which they have been planning.
They will murder the king in their
own castle, and no one will dare to
suspect Macbeth, the hero.
When her husband faltered in his
scheme, Lady Macbeth forced him
to the deed by calling him coward

Uncle MIn
Says: ~
As Malicious as Gossips

There are those who are intent
on telling the truth if it will hurt
somebody.
One needs to be trained for the
vocation he is to follow, but he
also needs an education in order
to enjoy the intellectual things of
life.
The man with a one-track mind
IS the one who struggles bravely
to drag the conversation at a din
ner party back to where it was
when he was interrupted.
He Generally Shows It
Anyone enforcing discipline may
have the best intentions, but if he
IS opposed, it spoils his temper.
If you cheer loud enough at a
public meeting you will be ap-
pointed on a committee.
When we all have television sets
one more mystery will be solved.
Well know what makes studio
audiences laugh.
Would Reduce Lying
1t ought to be considered polite
to refuse to answer when one con-
siders it best not to.
Make a man happy and he'll
sing; make a woman happy and
she'll cry.

leave you $4,000.

to be the head of the
outfit. After he had
gained his position
of power, his life

Chicago Urban
League Raps Anti
Semitic Drive

CHICAGO, June 26 (CNA)-
Vigorously assailing efforts to set
one oppressed group against an
other by stirring up anti-Semitism
among Chicago Negroes, the Chi
cago Urban League has appointed
a committee to investigate the sit
uation.
Action of the Urban League fol-
lowed several months of distribu-
ton on the South Side of "Dyna-
mite" a paper the main purpose OF
which is the creating of anti-Jew-
ish feelings among the Negro
people.
The investigating committee,
which held its first meeting this
week, consists of Earl B. Dicker-
son, chairman, DIR. Louis Binstock,
Attorney E. B. Pierce, Miss Amelia
Sears and Attorney T. X. Gibson,
Jr. The committee was selected at
a special Executive Board meeting
at the Central Y. M. c. A., when a
resolution condemning Anti-Semit-
ism was also adopted.
The resolution assails those who
would develop "open strife and bit
ter antagonism between two racial
minority groups in the United
States which for the good and for
the preservation of democracy
should at all times work in har-
mony and in happy accord each
with the other"
Referring to allegations that GER
tain Jewish merchants have been
taking advantage of Negroes, the
resolution declares that "the
League feels that such criticism
and condemnation should be di-
rected against the guilty individ-
uals and not against the whole
race to which such individuals be-
long,"

Red Caps Grid
for Final Fight
for Recognition

Washington, D. C.-Big guns
will resound throughout the digni-
fed Washington halls of the Inter
state Commerce Commission build
ing July IA, when attorneys for the
International Brotherhood of Red
Caps meet, face to face, the high
salaried legal minds of the Ameri-
can railway industry.
Railroads Fight Recognition
The bone of contention will be
the recent recommendations made
by Commission Examiners Steer
and Harris, who recommended to
this august body, after thorough
investigation of the employee
status of red caps, that this class
of railway workers be included
within the term employee" as used
in the Railway Labor Act. Attor-
neys for the Brotherhood will de-
fend this recommendation, while
the legal corps of the railroads
will attempt to have it set aside.
This latest development culmi-
mates a year of intensified legal
and organizational work by the
scrappy young labor organization
of red caps, station porters and
ushers. The legal staff of the
IBRC includes: Leon M. Despres

tional Labor Relations Board

known Washington law firm, How,

legal problem with DR.. Douglas
and Labor Attorney Leon M. Des,

first petition to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This peti.
ton was filed against the Chicago
Northwestern and Western Indi-
ana railroads, citing the relation
ship of the red cap to the railway
industry and asking the inclusion
of red caps within the Railway La
Dor Act. Later, the petition was
withdrawn after an agreement had
been reached between the Brother
hood and the two railroads. The
result of this agreement gave the
red caps a signed contract with
wage increases, hour reduction and
