May Turn on Heat

IL must De auFIllleQ THAT tneIt
seems very little prospect of this
latest revolt succeeding But then
it seemed rather unlikely, after the
White House turned on the heat for
the reorganization bill and was able
TO get it through the senate, that it
would be upset in the house.
At least three times every one
watching the situation has been
sure, within the last Is months,
that the wages and hours regulation
bill would be enacted, only to see it
sidetracked. So that predictions at
the moment seem rather daring.
This new revolt Just might get some
where, unlikely as it seems now.
The great importance of it is that
if it should it would clip the Pfesi-
dents power so effectively that it
is scarcely likely he would be able
to force any measure through con-
gress for the remainder of his pres
ent term. It would mean that from
now on congress would come mighty
close to determining its decisions on
its own political and economic iudg-
ment 1t would mean the end of
White House domination of Capitol
Hill
Just one reservation has to be
made to this. The President still
has that power Of expression It
is not impossible that his strength
with the people in certain states and
districts would be such that he could
bring about the defeat in the Demo-
cratic primaries this year Of a dozen
or more outstanding figures among
the insurgents. That, should it oc-
cur, would be apt. to bring con-

Mr.. Cilmer Retires
From Active Service

Mr.. "Gillie" William Gilmer, po-
pular club man at the Medley Ho-
tel for the past Is years, organizer
and commander of Sergeant Jo-
seph White Camp Spanish War
Veterans for 8 years; and gen.
erous donor to civic and charitable
organizations of the community,
has retired from active service.
Physically fatigued from his ma
ny years of successful labor in his
profession, Mr.. Gilmer left Port
land Saturday for Denver, Colora-
do, where he will visit his brother.
After a much needed rest there,
MIR. Gilmer will continue his va
cation in sunny California.
Mr.. Gilmer will be greatly MISS
ed by his comrades, the Ladies
Auxiliary to the camp, and his host
of club patrons and friends. 1t
was a fitting climax to his years
of Loyal service rendered that Mr..
Gilmer was awarded four medals
of honor in addition to the several
already in his possession, during
the recent national encampment of
the United Spanish War Veterans,
held in September.

Wilson Lays Plan
For 1888 Season

With baseball season months a
way, most of you haven't given it
thought, but there has been one
person who has given the coming
ball season some deep thought and
he is Pop" Wilson, coach of last
years Puget Sound League Cham
pions, the American Colored Giant
team.
Coach Wilson is laying serious
plans for the '39 campaign which
will be better than those that won
the league pennant last year.
Knowing how a team equipped
with good equipment will play a
better game of baseball, Wilson
plans to come next year with one
of the best attired teams in the
league. The suits will be mainly
red and grey with red and white
sox, grey pants with red stripes,
grey shirts with American Color
ed Giants in large red letters a
cross the chest, red caps with two
white stripes, and grey jackets
with red sleeves.

party.
Mr.. Fred Wiley of Seattle and

Make Your Own
Job Opportunity

The Urban League congratulates
The Northwest Enterprise and
heartily endorses its plan to secure
reciprocity for the race from the
neighborhood merchants who ben
eft from our trade. This plan
should have the enthusiastic sup
port of the churches and all civic,
fraternal, and social organizations
in the city.
Each day young people come in
to our office asking for work, any
kind of work. Yet their parents,
unthinlxingly, support merchants
who refuse to give their boys and
girls an opportunity to earn an
honest livelihood.
What better way to create en-
ployment opportunities for boys
and girls, men and women of our
race, then to spend our money
with firms that employ Negroes,
and to refuse absolutely to sup
port your neighborhood stores
that give us no employment.
In the East Madison area there
are four stores in the radius of
four blocks operating over a per-
iod of years whose trade is largely
Negro, but not one of our boys or
girls is employed by them. At the
same instance there is a Coopera-
tive store entirely manned by Ne
groes that has a full line of COM
modities, and promises to enlarge
as the trade demands.
Is it not reasonable to make our
dollars earn for US employment 4?
If we give our trade, for instance,
to this Negro manned store, is it
not reasonable to expect that soon
as they can use such University
students as George Wright Jr. who
will be graduated soon from the
School of Business Administra-
ton, majoring in advertising; or
Marjorie Pitter, who plans to be
a Certified Public Accountant; or
Florice Spearman, whose training
as secretary and office clerk will
soon need an outlet?
College boys and girls should be
among the first to come forward
and endorse this plan of Don't
spend your money where you can't
work" They are the ones who
are looking for odd jobs in order
that they might continue in their
school, They are the ones who
will want jobs after they are out
of school.
Mr.. Lewis, we not only heartily
endorse your plan of spending
money only with merchants who
employ Negroes but we also pledge
you our support in carrying it
through.

Old Man Parker's laboratory ex-

when put to test in practical de-
monStrations. His recent voyage
in the direction of conjugal mys-

Youth Council
BY Eunis Mott

To those of you who are not as
experienced as most of the intel
ligencia, a Basket Social" is an
old-fashioned idea of eating with
your best girl friend. But not
quite as easy as stated; because
your girl friends baskets of lunch
es are auctioned off to the highest
bidder. Then when you win bas-
ket, you also win the company of
charming girl while you eat and
further entertain yourselves with
old-fashioned games. It's more ex-
citing than a 'wee bit" and you
shall have your opportunity to
really enjoy yourself in the good
old fashion, January 20, when the
Youth Council gives you Basket
