PARSON TELLS THEM WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT
From Time magazine

i NAOhA dAA~
The Rev. James Lafayette
Horace is the colored parson of
Monumental Baptist Church on
Chicago's South Side. Lately he
has been annoyed by receiving in
vitations to join the Illinois Auto
mobile Club, written on stationery
which explains that the club is for
white persons only" Last week
Parson Horace took action. To the
l. A. c. he wrote:
Check your mailing list and re-
move my name so l will not re-
ceive any more such trash and in
suits. You have the nerve to say
white persons only as though be-
ing white was a badge of honor.
"The enclosed picture of Mary
Schuch* from the Herald and EX-
aminer is a white person. So was
Dillinger and F. Donald Coster who
wrecked the 80-million dollar Nc
Kesson drug chain recently.
"Capone is white; so is Machine
Gun Kelly; so are Hitler and Mus
solini, public enemies number one
of civilization and humanity. In
fact all the notorious and world
renowned crooks whom 1 know are
white.
"Yet you have the nerve to hold
up race as means of evaluating
personality"
"Mrs. Schuch held up South Side bank
last fortnight, using a curling iron and
two walls of water as gun" and nitro
glycerine."

Every Member Of
L.U.5Joins Club
Two Hundred Dollars Sent
In By Evansville For
Mude-In-Americd

A check for two hundred dollars
was received this morning by Presi-
dent James M. Duffy of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters
from ]. P. Wendt of the Crown Pot
teries in Evansville, Indiana which
represents a 100 per cent membership
in the Made in America Club for Lo-
cal Union No. 5.
This is the spirit that is carrying
the potters far in their fight against
the inroads Of foreign-made pottery
ware. Never able to take over the
entire United States market from the
30-cent per day labor of the Japanese,
the Brotherhood members have grasp
ed this opportunity to strengthen the
Made In America Club which has been
doing gigantic work in educating the
people in "Buy American" campaign
Through the cooperation of Mr.
Wendt and the plant, Local Union No.
is fully behind this important move
ment.
So long as the potters retain this
militant spirit they will find their fight
against the job stealing low wage
countries successful one.
President Duffy has been extremely
happy to see the movement he fostered
in the Denver A. F. L. convention con-
'tinually grow and spring new branches

day, June 13 is the date set for the
election of local officers for the next
six months. Now is the time to elect
those who you think are suited fol

your opportunity to express your opin'
ion, not after the election is over.
Prepare to spend night at the To-
cal, choose your officers and support
them for the next half-year.
June 10 will soon be here and what
day it will be to play and meet your
old cronies. We all know you have
had the calendar marked for a long
time, so get out the car or get your
ticket on the bus. You won't want to
be late in joining the fun. By all means
don't forget your paid-up dues book
1t is worth real money-anything from
hundred dollar bill to five tons OF
coal. 1t might mean money in your
pocket, coal in your bin, china in your
closet or dues paid up for a year. We
hope you are well stocked on tickets
for the Buick. That certainly is q

Hoping to see you all on the tenth
