CHAPTER S

AFTER RUTH CHESTER shut
the door of Julian's Office in NoepS
face, Noel walked across the street
to the De Luxe, and had solitary
dinner of doughnuts and coffee. 1t
was ali she could afford, if she
hoped to make her money last until
she found job.
The next morning when she
awakened, her stomach was clam
oring wildly for food. .Shc knew
that regardless of what it might
cost, she would have to have a SUBJ
stantial meal before she could even
hope to accomplish a thing.
She dressed in the suit, a fresh
linen blouse, put on the comfort
able oxfords, pulled the blue felt
hat with it's perky high crown
down over her blond curls, and
went to the same little cafe where
she had breakfasted before. After
eggs, bacon, toast and coffee, she
again felt capable of meeting her
problems.
Buying a newspaper, she went
over once more to the little Front
street park, being careful to keep
her bag in her lap while she
studied the advertisements.
There didn't seem to be thing
she could fill. She read the ads
over several times, in the hope that
she might have overlooked some
thing. She couldn't help a little
sigh when she thought Of the ex-
pensive finishing schools she had
attended. Why hadn't she been
taught something useful such as
stenography and typing? Then it
wouldn't have been any trouble to
find job.
Suddenly Noel realized that a
girl was sitting on the bench next
to her, shabby suitcase on the
ground at her feet. She was
brown-haired and brown-eyed.
There were little brown freckles on
her winsome face. Noel also saw
after second glance that there
were unmistakable traces Of tears
around her eyes.
On a sudden impulse, Noel
moved to the edge of the bench and
asked, "Is anything wrong?'s Fl
The girl lifted her brown eyes
and looked at Noel coolly. Plenty"
she said and then lapsed into
silence.
After a moment, Noel said gent
ly. Perhaps it would help to tell
somebody about it."
The girl looked at Noel again, as
II sizing her up. She seemed to
decide at last that Noel wanted to
be friendly, so she said with a little

WHITE WOMAN CHARGES TOT
RAPED" HER

HOUSTON, Tex, May elaine Ell
lis for CNA)-A 26-year-old white wo-
man has seriously charged that frail
12-year-old Negro boy assaulted and
"raped" her. This isn't funny. The
child, Abner Window, has been offici-
ally charged with rape" in the Juve-
nile court here, and, Southern justice
being what it is, may be forced to
spend his youth in reformatory.
Yet little Abner may be lucky at
that. In Texas, especially in this lynch
region of Houston, even children have
fallen victim to the furious hatred of
the lynchers. Less than three years
ago, two Negro boys, Ernest Collins
and Benny Mitchell, were brutally put
to death between Houston and Co
lumbus. Ernest was only Is and Ben
ny only 16 years of age. They were
arrested and charged with assault and
murder simply because they had been
seen picking pecans near a creek
where the body of white girl was
found,

KOSCIUSKO LEFT A FOR
TUNE TO AID NEGRO
140 YEARS AGO

One of the earliest bonds of sympa-
thy between two great prosecuted
groups in this country, the Negro peo-
pie and the foreign-born whites, was
forged 140 years ago in the will OF
Thaddeus Kosciusko, Polish humani-
tartan who volunteered in General
George Washington's army in l77o
and became a great fighter for Ameri-
can democracy. In his will Kosciusko,
which spelling, incidentally, is wrong,
according to the way the name appears
in the will, directed that his property
in the United States be used to aid
victims of chattel slavery.
"Koscirsho was essentially demo
crat, but democrat of the school OF
Jefferson and Lafayette" wrote Rob
ert Nisbet Eain, assistant librarian OF
the British Museum from 1883 to his
death in 1909. He was biographer
of the great. Pole. Kosciusko main
tanned that the republic could be re-
generated only on the basis of abso-
lutte liberty and equality before the
law" which fact led Balm to observe
that the Polish lover of democracy
"was far in advance of his age.
1t was exactly l40 years ago Thurs
day, May 5, that Kosciusko, on the ev'
of his second farewell to the United
States, wrote and signed will turning
his property in this country into
fund for freeing and educating Ne
groes. Addressed to Thomas Jetier
son, at that time too feeble because O
advanced age to execute the will, th'
historic document reads:
IL, Thaddeus Kosciuszlio, being jus
on my departure from America, d.
hereby declare and direct that, shoul'
l make no other testamentary disposi
ton of my property in the Unite'
| SldlCS, uSiCUy dukllOi lLS any iAlNiiN

Dining Car Men
Oppose Salary Cut

Plans to seek an increase in wages
will not be affected by the announce
ment of the Railroad Owners associa-
ton of proposed IS per cent salary
cut effective May IS, according to lsh-
meal Flory, secretary-treasurer OF the
Joint council of Dining Car Employ
ee's unions.
The council, according to Mr.. Flory,
will not consider the slightest reduction
in the salaries of workers connected
with the organization which represents
majority of the dining car workers
on all roads in the United State and
Canada.
The dining car workers, Mr.. Flory
said, are yet the most exploited groups
of workers in the railroad industry,
many of them earning as low as $40
per month. Added to this, the union
official declared many men are kept on
the payroll but work only two or three
| full months a year with not even
minimum guarantee to maintain them
selves and their families.
Our organization, he continued, is
determined to bring the salaries OF all
dining car workers to a standard where
the men will be able to maintain their
families in decent manner.

a barage of picket lines and consum-
ers boycott, the Consolidated Edison
Company last week agreed to hire Ne

The Committee for Employment is
supported by zoo organizations with .

HARLEM OPENS DRIVE TO
SEND NEGRO TO
CONGRESS

NEW YORK, May, (CNA)-The
opening gun in Harlem's campaign to
elect Negro to Congress was heard
here this week when representatives
from a number of political groups met
at a mass meeting at the st. Marks
NJ. E. Church to map out plan OF
work for the coming months.
Under the Craftsmanship of Rev
DR.. Lorenzo King, the assembly heard
speakers decry the absence of Ne
gro representative from Harlem in the
National Legislative body, and called
for united action to remedy the situ-
alton.
An attempt by Representative Ham,
ilton Fish to divert the meeting from
its original purpose into an attack or
the Presidents recovery program ano
on the Communist Party was sharply
assailed by Miss Audley Moore, Har.
lem woman leader, who pointed ou
that the present Administration hae
done more for Negro people than al
the, Republican administration put to
gether since Lincoln. Miss Moore as
serted that the Presidents recover,
program would result in further aic
to the Negro people.
Taking issue with the gratuitous ad
vice of Representative Fish that Ne
groes should not fight side by sid
with the white workers for their com
mon interests, Miss Moore declared
"The Negro people don't suffer iron
an 'inferiority complex. They hav
been fighters all the time.

WE WILL FIGHT
Selassie, Broken and Crushed,
Hurls Last Defy at League

GENEVA-Emperor Halle Selassie,
making last vain fight to prevent
world recognition of the conquest of
Ethiopia, said today that whatever the
world might do, his people would fight
on until they forced Italy from their
country or were themselves extermi-
mated.
Ill, despairing, he appeared before a
cold and hostile League of Nations
council.
He was too weak to make his speech
himself, and it was read for him by his
chief delegate.
He knew that his plea was made to
deaf ears but he wanted to put his
case before the world.
1t was learned at Paris, also, that he
had pledged his life to resist Italy and
that he was preparing to organize his
countrymen for guerilla warfare.
The league at first had tried to save
Ethiopia and failed.
