"flout the spirit" of the Munich
pact.
This comment denied that Hitler
had departed from his policy of in
cooperating only Germans into the
Reich. The form in which the an
cient connection between Germany
and Bohemia -Moravia was re-estab-
lished-creation of a protectorate-
was cited as a refutation of this
charge.
It was argued additionally that
Hitler never, at Munich or else
where, had renounced his right to
play a leading role in Central Eu-
rope.
There was no need for Hitler to
consult Mr.. Chamberlain in ad-
vance, this comment said, any more
than there was for Britain to con-
fer with the Reichsfuehrer on mat
ters within Britains sphere.
Condemnations Ignored.
With but one exception morning
newspapers ignored condemnations
by the United States Government
and by the British Prime Minister.
Morning newspapers did not print
the address In which Prime Minister
Chamberlain attacked Hitler as a
breaker of promises last night. The
Deutche Allgemeine Zeitung, how
ever, curtly commented on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's announcement of
the need for new neutrality legisla-
ton because of recent European de-
velopments and on Acting Secretary
OF State Welles' statement calling
the German occupation of Czecho-
Slovakia ''wanton lawlessness."
Additional colorful touches were
being made in Berlin, which already
was highly decorated for Hitler's
triumphant return. Placards read
ing I'VE thank our Fuehrer" were
put up everywhere. He was expected
here tonight.
Preparations were under way for
great victory procession from the
Goerlitzer railway station to the
tremendous new chancellery where
early last Wednesday President Emil
Hacha of what was Czecho- -Slovakia
bowed to Hitler and brought about
the dissolution of the little republic
Nationality a Question.
One question requiring clarifica-
ton was the determination of who
is a German national (Volks
Deutscher) in the Czech state, espe-
cially in the case of Czechs who have
married Germans.
A decision in the matter was con-
sidered important because under the
protectorate setup Germans alone
will be awarded citizenship in
Greater Germany. The Czechs will
remain mere subjects. A govern
ment spokesman said it was a "big
problem"
Government spokesmen in Berlin
said the German army probably
would remain in Bohemia Moravia
several weeks" before the new gov
ernment there would be formed to
represent the Slavs under the juris-
diction Of an all-powerful protector
to be named by Berlin.

Desire for Lockout
Charged by Miners;
Operators Deny Il
Wo9e PorIey Recessed
Over Protests Of
Union Men
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 1s.-The
joint wage parley of the Appa-
lachian bituminous coal industry
wound up the week yesterday in
disagreement over adjournment and
with the miners charging that the
operators wanted a "lockout"-an
accusation the latter denied.
AS far apart as when they began
on Tuesday their effort to reconcile
widely divergent views and write q
new contract, the 80 negotiators ad-
journed until Monday over the pro-
tests of the representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The operators sought the recess
to permit them to attend to busi-
ness at home. Charles O'Neill, New
York, spokesman for the operators,
said 1t was likely this would be their
only opportunity before March 81,
the expiration date of the old con.
tract.
Murray Fears Lockout.
Philip Murray, vice president Of
the union, which speaks for 338, 900
employees in the Appalachian area,
asserted after adjournment that "if
you want my opinion, the operators
want a shutdown of the industry
on March 81"
"A lockout or a shutdown" he
was asked.
"A forced shutdown, which is, Of
course. lockout"
Mr.. Murray said his opinion was
based, in the first instance, on the
operators refusal to agree to the
miners proposal to guarantee no
shutdown during negotiations, and,
in the second instance, their dilatory
tactics and obvious unwillingness to
continue the conference through to-
morrow.
"The last thing the coal operators
want is strike or shutdown" Mr.,
O'Neill replied.
Shutdown Costs Cited.
1T costs large sums of money
to close mines down" he added. For
that reason there is no desire on our
part to have single days shut
down. The operators want to make
an extended contract over a long
period-annually or longer-and
agree with the miners it should be
for two years."
The miners have proposed an
agreement to extend the present
contract, if new one had not been
written by March 81. The operators
held it was premature" and de.
feated it.

primary cases, all handled by the
N. A. A. C. p, but now the right
to register has been established.
N. A. A. C. p. Victories
Twelve out of thirteen cases
carried to the U. S. Supreme Court
by the N. A. A. G. P. have been
won. This record extends over a
period of almost twenty-five years,
from 1915 to date.
In 1885 the U. S. Supreme Court
ruled that the conviction of Jess
Hollins from Oklahoma by a jury
of whites from which all Negroes
were excluded was invalid and a
denial of due process of law.
The conviction of three Negroes
in Mississippi on a confession ex-
torted by force and violence was
held to be a denial of due process
of law in 1886. The supreme court
held: "The rack and torture cham
Der may not be substituted for the
witness stand"
The conviction of Joe Hale of
Kentucky on an indictment drawn
by an all white jury and by a trial
of an all white jury from which
Negroes were excluded was de-
clared unconstitutional in 1888.
The University of Missouri de-
cision, December IL, 1888, estab-
ished the principle that a qualified
Negro could not be excluded from
the state university on the grounds
of his color in the absence of the
establishment of equal opportu-
mites for him within the state.
This decision established the prin-
ciple applicable to all public educa-
ton that "the admissibility Of laws
separating the races in the enjoy
ment of privileges afforded by the
state rests wholly upon the equal
ity of the privileges which the law
gives to the separated groups
within the State"
The twelfth victory was the case
decided Monday, May %, 1899, de-
claring unconstitutional a statute
of Oklahoma which Disseminated
against Negroes in their right to
register and vote.

Eide Campaign
Being Conducted
on High Plane
MAYOR CANDIDATE REFUTES
COMMUNIST CHARGE BY
A. b. CASSIUS


With the city general election
just few days off, T. A. Eide and
the rest Of the Trade Union ticket
are swinging into high for their
dash down tic home stretch Eide
is making several appearances at
meetings all over the city every
night and indications are that his
campaign will show good results.
AS during the earlier part of the
campaign, Eide is continuing his
policy of waging a clean and con-
structive campaign.
Eide believes that the city needs
a good businesslike administration
and he stands ready to give it. His
liberal platform contains all the
things that are needed for the
progress of our city and Eide has
the business, civic and executive
experience to give Minneapolis the
kind of government it needs.
During the past few days, Eide
has taken askance about the sitting
of state employees and others from
the Stassen administration into the
local Republican headquarters.
This is in violation with the state
civil service law and in discord
with the professed policy of Cover
nor Stassen.
Attempts have been made, and
are being made, to the effect Of
linking T. A. Eide and Communist
activities. This has been refuted
both in the daily press and in
speeches by Mr.. Eide. It is a direct
attempt by the opposing forces to
smear the good name of T. A. Eide
and at the same time confuse the
voters of the city.
Minneapolis needs T. A. Eide for
mayor if she is to maintain her
position in the country and make
advances in business accordingly.
Eide has a background Of civic
and business success that cannot
be challenged. His life has been
one of rising success, until today
he enjoys high place in the civic
and business world.
Everyone in the city needs a new
administration if the relief, the f.
nancing, the business problems of
Minneapolis are to be successfully
solved.
Everyone should make it their
duty to vote in the coming election.
Mr.. Eide has urged all voters to
turn out and exercise their consti-
tutional rights at the polls. "Wheth-
er you vote for me or not" said
T. A. Eide, ego to the balloting
place and take advantage of your
privilege to vote"
A vote for T. A. Eide is a vote
for all who earn their living by
working. It is a pledge for better
days for our city, with a promise
of better living, better working
conditions and a tax levy on all
that will not be burden.

Grand Jury
Indicts Man
About Girls

Baltimore - Considering three
special cases involving morals
charges, the grand jury on Monday
indicted Thorn Brown, 74-year-old
white Pennsylvania Avenue shoe
maker.
Brown, who for many years OPP
Grated his business at 1914
Pennsylvania Avenue, was accused
of Turing small school girls into his
shop and abusing them. 1t was
alleged that in some instances
force was used, and further, that
perverted practices were resorted
to.
Stone Wall Met
The lodging of the charges and
subsequent indictment capped an
extensive investigation conducted
by Mrs. Violet Hill Whyte and a
strenuous fight to have him in
dicted.
Although the charges were
known when Brown was arrested
on the first charge, more than
three weeks before, Mrs. Whyte
met with some difficulty in having
additional ones lodged, it was
learned.
