FAMILIES MOVE INTO
SUMNER HOMES

Friday was moving day, a moving
unlike any ever seen in Minneapolis.
Instead of the poor moving from one
evil place of abode to another, there
was real Christmas spirit, with the
US. Government in the role of Kris
Kringle.
These people, or at least many of
them are leaving forever the swinging
wallpaper, the cracked plaster, the
drafts and sniffles of previous tenancy.
1t is goodby to poorly ventilated
bathrooms, evasive landlords, and the
million troubles that beset the poor
tenant in his battle with hopeless and
heartless shackowners.
About twenty families of our group
are among the vanguard who will
eventually fill the four hundred and
sixty-four apartments.
This moving day will make history
in another way, for it will probably be
the last Government owned and ad-
ministered housing project in the Unit
ed States.
Minnesota had been lax in providing
housing legislation, so the Govern
ment stepped in to show what could
be done, and the Summer Housing Pro-
ject was the result.
Wheels are being turned now to
grind out state housing legislation as
early as possible, which may mean
three or four more such projects for
the Twin Cities.
1t may mean an all colored project,
as the problem is being seriously
studied by authorities since the recent
hue and cry over Negro employment
IN Government projects was raised. 1t
S highly probable that the Sumner
field Homes will be leased to private
when legislation makes such
action available.
One of the incidents IN the grist of
applications that came to our atten-
ion was the case of family who had
more children than legally might have
'een Accommodated. 1t was agreed that
he persons could move into the homes
and remain while the children were
small, but at the end of that time they
would be forced to seek other quarters.
In the event housing legislation is
passed, the government will lend the
money for the proposed setup, but
will leave administration entirely up
to the state or municipal authorities.
and will only interfere when cases of
or injustice develop.

PILGRIM REST BAPTIST
CHURCH
-

1t was Great Day at Pilgrim Rest
Sunday, Morning and Evening respec-
lively, Dec. llth, which was the begin
ming of series of programs to be held
during the Christmas holidays.
A large and enthusiastical group of
the youth of the Sunday School and
B.Y.P.U., and the youngsters of the
Neighborhood sponsored by the Church
under the wisdom and guidance of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Jackson and Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Pierson. directed and
supervised by Miss Erma Schofield.
One of the most interesting and in
spring programs was rendered that
has ever been witnessed in the history
of the Church. So we'll pleased were
the large gathering with the splendid
program that it became necessary for
several of the participants to return in
response to the encores of the crowd.
Particularaliy was this true with Miss
Dorothy Fay Armstrong, age 3, who
responded amid the cheers and ap-
plauds from the audience. A very
timely and inspiring address was made
by Rev. A. F. Boyd. Closing remarks
bq Rev. J. ]. Claybune.

cIO FIGHTS WPA LAYoFF

Washington, Dec, (CNA)-A ma
tion-wide campaign by the Congress ol
Industrial Organizations against cuts
in WPA rolls was launched this week.
The campaign was announced by
Ralph Hetzel, Jr., unemployment di-
rector, in the name of the CIO COM
mittee on unemployment The action
follows the recent Go convention at
Pittsburgh, which went on record as
unanimously opposed to WPA s1ashes
while eligible workers are unemployed.
The committees statement described
the cuts as dangerous to recovery and
inhuman to the unemployed, and de-
clared that no cuts should be made un-
til there are no more unemployed
workers eligible to the WPA and pri-
vate employment which would natural
ly reduce the rolls.

MEN BATTLE TO NINETY
DAY DECISION

Lloyd Slaughter, 81, and James
"Streamline" Waldron, Al, were enjoy
ing bottle of what was described in
court as "good Old Quaker" whisky,
at 708 5th Ave North, and were hav-
ing fine visit when the door knocked,
and in walked mutual acquaintance
with bottle of sloe gin, and three
ladies. According to Mr.. Waldron, he
liked sloe gin better than whisky so
they all got kind of high.
Now Mr.. Slaughter said one of the
ladies looked good to him so he started
making passes. The lady thought diff
ferently though, for Mr.. Slaughter was
of pudgy build, and Mr.. Waldron is
best described by his nickname. The
lady said she liked them tall and thin.
Disguised, Mr.. Slaughter retired to
the bathroom and proceeded to shave
Hearing the lady giggle made him boil
so he came to the bathroom door face
alather, and his razor in his hand. He
told the party to break up and every
body leave. Evidently the motive for
the razor being in his hand was mis-
interpreted, for Mr. Waldron swung
with bottle, Mr.. Slaughter stepped in
and whacked him twice across the face
with the razor.
II could have cut his jugular vein
easy Judge, but l was merciful," quoth
Mr.. Slaughter.
Mr.. Waldron was not to be denied,
for he finally landed with the bottle,
and when it broke, proceeded to rub
the Jagged remnant over various por-
tions of Mr.. Slaughters anatomy.
When haled into court, both showed
signs of combat even where pads and
bandages didn't cover.
The decision was ninety days in
favor of both.

MINNEAPOLIS PROMOTER

Tommy O'Loughlin, Minneapoli.
Sports promoter, uses more coloret
fighters than any other maestro o.

ing to figures.
He was not only responsible for Civ
ing the Twin Cities such attractions as
John Henry Louis, and Henry Arm
strong, but he has given not few of
our lesser lights an opportunity to
work.
This may mean more than mere
bread and butter proposition to the
fighter himself. 1t gives great many
people who do not know the capabili-
ties of our group an opportunity to see
good performance instead of hearing
things that are not altogether true.
Mr.. O'Loughlin intends to give Ne
gro fighters the same prominence on
his program this season that he did
last
1t might be wise to patronize those
who give us chance to earn, in

Ness Line

Minnesota and Iowa club, has gone
the whole town one better, with the
pamphlet titled the Minnesota Iowa
Club" A we'll gotten up groul
of interesting articles, it fills need in
this community, in that it encourages a
lot of persons to write, which is the
best demonstration of creative thought
We must always be there with sug-
gestions, we hope that this time we
will be pardoned.
It would be wonderful, since the
organ has such intelligent and ap-
parently experienced direction, that 1t
does not encourage poetry, and other
artistic endeavor among the group of
youngsters among the group.
Minneapolis is especially shy of
good poets, and yet nothing lays the
foundation for clear and readable ex-
preston, as does training in rhyme
1t is unfortunate that it does not
have wider circulation.
WPA employees are feeling the re-
suit of the curtailment policy of the
administration. On some projects, as
many as eighty day are being laid
off.
The banshees will yell that it is
penalty on Minnesota as the result of
the recent elections, but the fact is that
the money has just about run out, and
there Is no other way but curtaiiment.
Legislation may be adopted to relieve
the situation at the coming session of
Congress, but with its changing color
no prediction can be made as to what
direction new relief plans may decide
to 60.
Folks who have been habitually see
ing black believe that the admission of
Negroes to the University of Missouri
Law School will cause some particu-
lar hardships on Negroes who attempt
to enter school, may be surprised at
the reception the new students may re-
ceive. A great many persons in Mis-
souri, will resent the intrusion, no
doubt, but after first furry, condi-
tions will be accepted as a matter of
course. 1t will be surprise to a
great many persons who have had no
experience in the south to find that
those students will have some friends
among the student body, as we'll as
sympathy from some members of the
faculty. These will go long ways
toward making things bearabie.

Back from Washington and a con-
ference with WPA authorities, Mayor
Leach Thursday declared he had been
given assurance of some relief against

added that WPA as such is soon to
"fold up"
Abandonment of WPA, he declared
is to be an administration move tc

eral aid expenditures.
No Gap
Something will be done by con
gress to take the place of WPA at
once" the mayor said. There will be
no gap"
Mayor Leach said the administra-
ton will take the position that if the
states need money congress can ap-
propriate it, and apportion it to the
states IN cash to be administered by
the governors direct under the super
vision of the department of the treas
ury.
Administration Strategy
This maneuver is designed to put
Republicans and anti-administration
Democrats alike on the spot. There
will be no White House buffer be-
tween members of congress and their
hungry constituents; accordingly they
will appropriate, and appropriate gen
erously, under the lash of their vot-
ing public"
The mayor added that the admins
tration strategy for the 1910 presiden-
tial campaign is to put the whole bur-
den of relief responsibility on con-

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The post
election upturn in domestic corpora
ton bonds, notably rails, was ex-
tended today in another brisk mar
ket.
Some profit taking restrained the
advance but gains of fractions to
more than point predominated
toward midday.
Buying went mostly into sec
ondary issues which have been IA
vored in recent weeks as most likely
to profit by industrial expansion and
improvement in corporate earnings.
Low-yield issues, which have been
close to record levels for some time,
barely held their own, including U.
s. Treasury obligations.
Among the most conspicuous gain
ers were Missouri-Kansas-TeXas 5S,
Southern Pacific 4l1s, Southern
Railway As, Illinois Central 4a4s,
Atlantic Coast Line SIS, WalWorth As
and New York Central SIS.
Small buying orders again were
enough to lift some German issues
sharply in the foreign list. Rhine
Westphalia IS jumped more than 3
on few transactions.
