WHAT ABOUT THE
MEAT INSPECTOR?

Another matter of interest that
will be thrashed out by the coun-
Gil, involves the question of wheth-
er the city health department
should import a meat inspector
from the east or hold civil service
examinations, and give a Seattle
man chance at the job. VIM. L.
Norton, chairman of the Public
Safety Commission, is in favor of
competitive examinations. This
would give DR.. Smith, who has
spent good number of years with
the city health department, run
ing chance at the job. However,
some unknown source in the city
health department holds out for
the imported inspector from the
east, which is a rather peculiar
way of solving the local unem-
ployment problem.

Diner Men and Auxiliaries Meet In
Joint Session At Los Angeles, Calf.

LOS ANGELES - Meeting in
joint session with the Dining Car
Walters Local 465 from Omaha,
Denver, Ogden, Portland, Los An
geles and Oakland, which met here
recently in second biennial con-
vention, delegates of the Women's
Auxiliary voted to join the Ameri-
can Federation of Womens' Aux
iliaries of Labor, an AFL affiliate
with headquarters in Washington,
D. C.
Approximately fifty women
heard stirring addresses by Mrs.
Geneva Parson, Oakland presi-
dent; Mrs. Mabel Paley, past pre-
sident, of Denver, DR.. Ruth Tenn
pie, noted physician, and Mrs. He
len Williams, president of the Los
Angeles auxiliary.
Citing the tremendous buying
power of women OF the United
States and urging colored women
to affiliate with the national or
ganization in order to increase
their economic and political force,
Mrs. Paley explained the auxiliary
as a necessary aid to unions.
"Eighty-five per cent of the
purchases made for the average
home are made by women" she
said. "This means that over six
billion dollars of union earned mo-
ney is spent by women members
of organized working families.
1.-THE buying power is a great
economic power in the market
place. With it women can become
as effective in their efforts to win
better wages and better conditions
as union men themselves.
1T is essential that women
know their place in the labor

ed. Cooperation from us aids

REV. ]. r. HAYES TO
PASTOR anne CHURCH

Reverend ]. r. Hayes has taken
over the pastorate of the First A.
M. e. Church, formerly pastored
by the Rev. Fred A. Hughes. When
interviewed by our reporter, Rev.
Hayes said he had received a
warm reception here and that he
likes Seattle.
Rev. Hayes comes here from
Parsons, Kanses, where he pastor
ed the Brown Chapel A. M. e.
Church. He is graduate of
Washburn College and Shaffaer
Theological Seminary. He has
been in the ministery 13 years.
When asked if there was any
particular field he would under
take to develop, the new pastor
said he was very much interested
in the establishment of a junior
church. Young people, he said,
should be given responsibilities
and a chance to train for the per-
petuation of church ideals. He said
young people are in search of the
truth, a truth that can only be
found through expression and SER
vice in the church.
According to the new pastor, he
is ready to begin his service to the
community. His devoted wife and
loyal co-worker, Mrs. Emma Hay
es, his daughter Faye Inez, II, and
son Graham Edmondson, 9, give
him the incentive to press forward
in the mark of the high calling.

Women Medic Urges
Race To Fight Disease

LOS ANGELES - Addressing
the Women's Auxiliary of the Din
ing Car Walters Second Biennial
Convention which met here last
week, DR.. Ruth J. Temple, Cali
fornia's leading women physician,
and sponsor of the Community
Health Association, declared that
it is costing the United States
more to care for syphilis than to
operate the Federal government.
Our women have got to face
the issue and fight this dread di-
sease which is undermining the
very life of the race" the emin-
ent Negro women specialist de-
clared.
Among our people there is six
times as much syphilis as there Is
among whites. One hundred thou
sand Negro youths have it. Sixty
thousand of our babies are born
with it. Eighteen percent of our
child-bearing women are afflicted
with SYPHILIS.
ut can be stopped if we, as Ne
groes, put our shoulders to the
wheel, find it, treat it and cure it,
as did the people of Sweden.
DR.. Temple urged the Women's
Auxiliary of the Dining Car Wait
ers' union to set up Community
Health associations in their respec-
tive cities to help fight the disease.
Recently the dining car men
underwent a blood purge by COM
pany physicians with astounding
revelations as to the presence of
syphilis among carrier workers.
They were fired from service but
after a long-drawn fight led by
Elder G. Scott, General Chairman
of the union, all were given treat
ments. cures effected and the men
returned to service.

Many Hear Speech
By Randolph at Mt
Zion Bapt. Church

A. Philip Randolph, the most
outstanding Negro in America,
held packed church spell-bound
Sunday night when he addressed
meeting under the join sponsor
ship of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters and the Ladies'
Auxiliary. An authority on trade
union affairs, the International
President of the reorganization told
of the ID year struggle of the BIS.
C.P. for union recognition.
That Mr.. Randolph is an out
standing union worker is indicated
in the following article from ia
nous magazine:
If one were to compile a list of
outstanding labor leaders in Am
erica on the basis of ability and
achievement, he would have to in
clude A. Philip Randolph, president
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, among the first ten, and
if one wanted to be absolutely i'm
partial, among the first five.
William Green and John L. Lew
is Immediately come to mind when
one thinks of the leaders of the
American labor movement, But
the struggles of the Negro worker
within the organized labor group
are vastly greater than the aver
age person realizes. For he who
essays to lead Negro workers into
the trade union movement, not on
ly must contend with employers
but also with men and women
whose treatment at the hands of
organized labor itself causes them
to view its proffers of friendship
and sympathy with a suspicious
eye.
In the article relating the terms
of the agreement Mr.. Randolph
rightly pays tribute to his asso-
ciates who at great personal sa-
crifice bore the brunt of the IL
year battle of the Pullman porters
to secure living wage and decent
conditions of work. He says little
of the part he played. But those
who know the history of the Pull
man porters' organization are not
unmindful of the brilliant and
courageous leadership of Randolph

property battle with c. o. Meyers
The fight, which involves a piece
of property and also a principal
has been going on for months
but at this stage it looks as il
Mrs. Knox will emerge as winner
Negroes became interested in
the controversy when the North
west Enterprise published parts of
a letter Meyers wrote to City
Treasurer, H. L. Collier, in which
he expressed desire to buy the
property in question so that it
would not eventually fall into the
hands of Negroes or Japanese.
The property, which is at 304
30th Avenue S. was formerly
owned by Mrs. Knox who lost it
through non-payment of taxes.
However, she is now ready to buy
it back, which is strictly accord
ing to the city's property rules.
But, Meyers thinks the property
should become his, although the
law says first chance to buy taxed
property should go to the former
owner.
BY some unexplainable stroke
of fate, Meyers almost got pos
session of the coveted lot. Then
Mrs. Knox threatened to bring
suit against the city, Meyers and
a few others, after which things
started breaking bad for Meyers.
Mrs. Knox claims she received
threatening letters and myster-
ious telephone calls shortly after
the controversy started. Lately,
she said, her telephone wires have
ben tapped. Meyers is connected
with the telephone business.
But the most interesting phase
of the dispute from the Negroes
point of veiw, is Meyers letter,
which indicates that he is allergic
to Negroes and Japanese. The two
races will be well represented at
the hearing Monday.

Digesting
The News

We have no quarrel with any
Religion. We believe in the exist
ance of the Supreme Being be-
cause doubling Thomas's have, I'M
til five minutes ago, been unable
to prove the Infinite Being does
not exist. In our own estimation
we are not what you would call
good Christian, although we have
for years worshipped as what is
known as a "hard-shelled" Baptist.
We gave up trying to understand
religion long ago because we found
the various faiths so well draped in
the cloak of hypocrisy we could
never be quite sure there was such
a thing as true religion. We have
a faith but it is not based on
orthodox theology as it were, but
rather on a belief in strict adher-
ence to the. Golden Rule. Because
we do not understand religion we
are always questioning the sin
cerity of many Christians and a
few Brothers of the Cloth.
Through our Portland CORES
pondent we learn that the Catholic
Church in the Rose City is very
much concerned about the "con-
venience" of it's Negro members.
In fact, the Church's interest in
Negro brethrens' convenience caus-
ed the establishment of the Chapel
of the Little Flower, Broadway &
% N. E. in Portland. Our CORES
pondent writes that the Blessed
Martin League of Oregon and the
st. Vincent De Paul Society es-
tablished the Chapel for the "con-
venience of colored Catholics"
Those who use the Chapel main
tain membership in whatever
church they belonged before the
Chapel was set up for their "con-
venience."
We would hardly accuse the
Catholic Church of discrimination
However, the actions of the Church
has at times given us reason to
feel that there is something rather
odiferous in the city of Denmark
because the Catholic, like any 9TH
er church, has tolerated discrim-
ination. The records show that
there was no greater segregation
ist than the late Cardinal Munde-
lein. He was a staunch advocate
of separate churches where he
said, Negroes would be happier
worshipping together" AS if the
God they worshipped awarded hap
piness in accordance with the CO.
lor of the skin. The Cardinal was
also famous for establishing Cath
Ole schools to which Negroes are
not admitted.
But to get back to the Portland
affair, we wonder if the Catholic
Church in that city has churches
