Weber, Daughter Taking Rainbow
 Trail in Alaska
Tackle Manufacturer and Family Enjoying First
 Visit to Territory

To catch some of those Alaska rainbows they have been hearing so much about but have yet to get on the working end of fly rod. o. L. Weber. worlds largest manufac- turer of fishing tackle Mrs. Weber and their two daughters, Helen and Dorothy, are passengers aboard the Aleutian. MT. Weber and Miss Helen. who is one of his plant man. agers at Stevens Point, Wis, their home, are planning on trying some Russian River and Newhalem River rainbow fishing while Mrs. Weber and Miss Dorothy enjoy the Golden Belt Tour.
 Miss Helen is one of the country's premier women anglers. She has worked a fly over many of the streams of the States and Canada and some time ago caught one of the largest tarpons ever landed on light tackle.
 Helen is just a big fish catcher, ' said the genial manufacturer. She always gets the biggest fish of the party" But then he revealed the recret-"H Helen always fishes more than anybody else and stays with it when the rest of them give up
 MT. Weber and Miss Helen have always considered steelhead fishing with light tackle about tops in the angling world, but admitted that since they have heard of those Russian and Newhalem rainbows the steelhead may have to take second place. Anyway, they prom ised to make a decision by the time they arrive back in Juneau about the 18th of the month for a. few days on the creeks and lakes of this region.
 The Stevens Point manufacturer was among the first in the country to put out the Alaska Mary Ann trout fly which has been meeting with such phenomenal success in fishing circles in the States as well as in the Territory where it was conceived.

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

Sitting in at the Minneapolis
Forum last Sunday, listening to
Carlos Hudson, associate editor of
the Northwest Organizer, official
paper of A. F. of L. Teamsters'
Union, talk of the NEGRO and the
Union" was made to realize how
difficult it is for those of divergent
points of view to attempt to recon-
cile those differences in a spirit Of
dispassiOnate analysis. / found my
self at odds with the speaker in
practically all of his pronounce
ments.
Mr.. Hudson, speaking for him
self and the unions, declares their
interest is solely in that of the
class struggle between capital and
labor. They recognize no racial
aspects. They see the Negro as a
laborer only and give no considera-
ton to him in his racial identity.
Mr.. Hudson is skilled in the pres
entation of his side of the case and
expert in sidestepping the unor-
ganized inquiries Of the opposi-
ton,

Poetic Thoughts
The BOOkkeeper
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

He counts the money and keeps a record,
So that all transactions will be in accord
For references be made at some future date,
Which will eliminate disputes when memory is late.
A daily journal he keeps for moneys spent
For out of the income must come the rent,
For all items both large and small,
Should be promptly paid one and ALL
In thirty days he sends bill,
Of everything bought and it's regular pill.
We have to take, for we know that it's true
Prompt payment of bills helps all to pull through
Keep your credit good to have high score,
For at some future time you may ask for more,
When reference is wanted you easily say,
I've paid up everyone and don't owe anything today
l wonder if there's bookkeeper above,
Who records just how we live and love,
Upon His daily ledger put mark,
If we're good it's white if not it's dark.

Editors Note: The question the
reader asks is very pertinent at
this time because a "Big-time"
band was in our midst this week.
In the first place the oft repeated
assertion that Twin City Negroes
pay more to hear the nationally.
known bands is false and not in
accord with facts. In St. Louis.
Negroes pay 75c for advance sale.
tickets to hear Fletcher Henderson
and 90c admission at the door.
Here in the Twin Cities admission
was Toe. In the Twin Cities our
people danced to the tunes of Cab
Galloway for 75c and in Kansas
City and st. Louis they were glad
to pay $1.10.
st. Louis with a population of
colored people in excess of 100000
has an average attendance of 5000
at the larger dances. Kansas City
with approximately 10000 Negroes
has crowds which average from
$500 to 5000. This is in direct
contrast to Minneapolis and St.
Paul with about 10000 Negroes be-
tween them and with only 1900 of
that group possible dancegoers.
From these figures you may get a
picture of what faces local pro-
moter who seeks to book one of the
heavy bands who ask from $3.50
to $3.50 per night. ... ..r... .
In the second place to compare
the price range for a colored dance
with only 10000 people to draw
from and a white dance with over
100000 people to seek as customers
is little short of ridiculous. The
average white promoter is lessee
of dance hall in which he holds
dances nightly. He doesn't have
to pay a hall rental of IS to 15C
dollars for a single night. There
is only one licensed small dance
hall operated by Negroes in either
Minneapolis or st. Paul and if its
proprietors had to depend on col
ored people alone they would have

we like it or not, is ours to i'm
prove or ours to try to alibi for
by saying "white folks do it, too"
Yes, they do it, too, BUT they are
the ones who keep up the halls and
in addition their group owns or
leases the property. You will do
lot of things in your own home
or place of business that you your
self don't want and won't allow
outsiders to do.
There are two or three ways to
improve the situation. One would
be to have the public led by GER
tain critics begin a campaign to
erect a hall large enough to ac-
commodate two or three thousand
people. From past experience we
doubt that this could be done-we
hope we are wrong. Another way
would be for some of these groups
and individuals who boiler so long
and loud about paying Toe to take
over the task of bringing Filing
ton, Hines, Henderson, Count
Basic, Lanceford, ETC., and trying
to pay expenses with a 45c admis-
sion. No one is going to try to
stop anybody from bringing to our
cities first class attractions and
playing them for as small admis-
sion as possible. No one who is
fair and knows the fact is going
to object to promoter who takes
a chance with his time and his
money instead of with his mouth,
making a fair profit on a venture
which is at its best a big gamble.
We hope we have answered the
reader. This paper is always ready
to cooperate with any club, lodge
or individual in bringing to the
Twin Cities any worth while pub
lie attraction whether it be of
stage, concert, field or dance or
chestra category. This offer has
been made many times but you
can't promote public affairs with
a lot of talk and "we'll pay you
after the ball" That just doesn't
go any more.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-11-25

For myself and many others of
the Negro group, / confess myself
unable to see the beauties of his
forest because of the stark reali-
ties of the individual trees through
which constantly we must make
our way.
MIR. Hudson asserts that the I'M
ions, or at least a majority of
them, have no ill-feeling against
the Negro and welcome him to
membership as a cO-wOrker in the
fight against capitalist domination.
His paper, himself and other indi-
vidual uniOnists have repeatedly 50
stated, he declared. His paper did
publish in a recent issue a strong
editorial protest against racial
prejudice.
In view of the known reluctance
of the Negro to believe in the
friendship of unions, asked why
such a fortnight statement was
not made to the Negro people
through the Negro press. He
countered with the question would
we publish such a statement. l
said, undoubtedly we would. He
promised to send such a release.
l have not had it yet but hope soon
to receive it. When and If it
comes I am assured it will be a

such as our people will be unable
to accept.
believe the Jews in Germany
would understand fully our hesi-
fancy. For there, clearly enough,
the Jews are not one side of class
struggle. The bitter hates, dis
elimination and inhuman cruelities
are visited upon him because of his
race just as the Negro in America
is subject to the same unwelcOme
restrictions in a little lesser degree.
The American Negro has not
reached the place where the class
struggle touches him convincingly.
He is too disturbed by the obstacles
placed in his way because of his
racial connection.
If the union can and will help to
remove these barriers it will be in
favorable position to influence his
thinking along class lines.
Incidently it may be said it is
regrettable that so few of the group
can be reached by organizations
like the Minneapolis Forum which
accepts every opportunity to bring
to him thought provoking discus
siOns of things of moment. A
Forum or other public gathering
that seeks entertainment for our
lighter moods alone, will doubtless
succeed in drawing crowds. But in
the present state of our develop
ment and our economic insecurity it
is better to encourage programs
that bring us face to face with con-
ditiOns as they are.
Leaders of thought in church or
society would do we'll to consider
this and to urge upon our young
people particularly, the advantage
of familiarizing themselves with
the hard facts of existence rather
than seeking always forgetfulness
in pleasure. i
