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-Semitlsm
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. DECKER
son, chairman, DR.. Louis Binstock,
Attorney E. B. Pierce, Miss Amelia
Sears and Attorney T. K. Gibson,
Jr. The committee was selected at
a special Executive Board meeting
at the Central Y. NJ. 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 a 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 lega
and organizational work by the
scrappy young labor organization
of red caps, station porters anc
ushers. The legal staff of the
IBRC includes: Leon M. Despres
former trial examiner for the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
George E. C. Hayes of the vel
known Washington law firm, How
ard, Cobb and Hayes, and Fred H
Mandel of Cleveland.
Background Dramatic
The background of the historic
legal fight for employee status o:
the red caps. offers one of tn
great dramatic struggles going OF
within the ranks of the modern
American labor movement.
Formed early last May by ;
number of disgruntled A. F. of L
federal locals of red caps, station
porters and ushers, the Brother
hood of Red Caps immediatel!
sought ways and means of having
this class of employment brought
within the confines of the Railway
Labor Act. Officials of the newly
formed organization held a serie:
of conferences with DR.. Paul Fl
Douglas, outstanding authority OF
social insurance and professor o.
economics at the University of Chi,
cago. After discussing the entire
legal problem with DR.. Douglas
and Labor Attorney Leon M. Des.
pres, the Brotherhood outlined its
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
the setting up of grievance ma
chinery. The first agreement of
the new Brotherhood.

Tn the Biennial Survey of Education in the United States covering the years 193436 one chap ter separately published devoted Adult Education It begins with a reference to the "recency' of the adult education movement and ends with quotation from one of highest educational authorities: that it not too optimistic to visualize for the future system of public education for every one from the youngest child to the oldest adult who wishes to learn And there is most hopeful inter- vening word from another eminent authority to the effect that are too old to e9rn- His ela- boration of the statement is more compelling its interest to the individual who is apt be seek ing for not continuing his education:
 The work of adult learning is not impeded by 8 general drying up of the wells of interest, by decrease in the interests in observing reading listen ing or performing acts of skill which learning is from learning because they are tired sleepy or in need of entertainment rather than improvement but not because they cannot being old be sufficiently interested The few individuals who do suffer from genuine general apathy exceptions that prove the rule, and balanced by the few who at 40 and GO much interested and jealous than ever before
 The author is none other than Dr. E. L. Thorndke recently president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Educators now assert ing with emphasis that in the field Of adult educa- ton the greatest opportunities of the immediate future Evidence as to the eagerness and extent of
 this desire is to be found in the requests made to the New York Adult Education Council by 10000 ndivdu- as for information to opportunities. A superative instance is that of of 50 who regretting that with all her faculties she had little chance to use them, yet devotng herself to the blind and deaf and taking charge of a young girl whom she hoped to make self-supportng.

SurreptitiOus Pensions
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCmclnnatl EnQuref)
 When veteran organizations hit the Treasury for the cash payment of the bonus they loudly asserted that a demand for pensions not in contempa- ton The bonus to replace pensions pave the way for them. Political realiss did not accept this argument at face value and their cynicism is justified. No less than six measures to enlarge or extend war pensions have been reported favorablv from House committees. One has been approved by the House.
 That one would authorize payment of pensions to all widows of veterans Thus veterans who suffered not the slightest scratch in the World War could still marry and provide the fortunate women with pensions for life This bill would cost the Treasury only $34.000Oo0 the first full year-not enough to build battleshp. But unlike battle ships pension laws call for and more expendi- ture. By 1868 this pension law for widows would probably take 130000O000 out of the pockebooks Of American taxpayers.
 In election year, when Representatives feel strongly the pressure of organized groups of voters the temptation is to be extremely liberal with the money taken from citizens at such hardship them There are now two House committees in rivalry to give the veterans the favors that might insure Outays made obviously for votes and not to satisfy bona fide claims the public purse little more than racket They not only represent injustice to the citizens generally, but they hold very grave threat to the oountry's fiscal future.
