Small Negro
Farmers Hit By
Town Board

What appeared to be drive
against persons earning a living
from farming on a small scale got
under way, this week, when the
town board of New Canada in
Ramsey County began threatening
to inflict penalties for raising hogs
without a permit.
One individual was given approx
imately six days in which to secure
his permit. Another was told that
after certain date he would be
fined fifty dollars for each day he
had pigs on his place, if he did not
secure a permit.
Old residents of the section say
that they have never been told to
get such permits before, but lately
some complaints have been made
against them by individuals who
have recently moved into the neigh
borhood. None of these complaints
seem to be justified but have a
strong tint of envy in them, accord
ing to those affected.
Approximately fifteen persons
will be affected if the town board
refuses to issue permits. Investi-
gators have discovered, however,
that one of the largest groups of
hogs being raised is the property
of the City of St. Paul and another
belongs to Ramsey County. So far
as it is known, no effort is being
made to make either the city or
county secure permits.
If the town board refuses to
grant the permits, the persons hit
by such ruling may appeal to the
district court.

Carey Thrills
Hearers With a
Mighty Sermon

A challenge to the Negro who
is getting along all right" and is
oblivious or unmindful of the real
condition of the masses of Negroes
was delivered by Rev. A. ]. Carey,
Jr., of Chicago, brilliant Chicago
minister-lawyer and son of the
late Bishop Carey, in a stirring
sermon Sunday morning at st.
Peter A. M. E. Church.
The gist of what he said was:
The Negroes of every conmu-
nifty look to those who are we'll off,
who have jobs, operate businesses
for leadership but in many cases
the people who are in this class re-
fuse to accept their responsibility
and the people turn to the un-
scrupulous, the racketeers for the
guidance which the so-called better
people refuse to give them.
If politics are corrupt and dirty
it's because the Christians, the
well-off people, refuse to get in
them and clean them up. From
the cradle to the grave the indi-
viduars life is touched by politics.
From the person who makes out
the birth certificate to the clerk
who records the death record will
be found persons who owe their
jobs to politics.
Rev. Carey also pointed out that
in Chicago, his home city, Negroes
purchased over 100000 worth of
milk from wagons yearly, and that
the diaries and dairy unions had
steadfastly refused to do anything
about employing Negroes.
He said the Negroes who can af-
ford to buy milk and do so are yet
not awake to the fact that some
of the $500 which they spenu
daily should come back to them in
employment.
The Chicago minister was the
principal speaker for the mems
day observance at the Mill City
Church Sunday, speaking also at
the evening service.

Nit HELL RAPS UNI AR ! LABOR UNIONS
Brewery Unions
Unfair To Negro
Mitchell Says

negroes are not welcome even
as janitors in the brewing indus
try of Minnesota so far as the
unions which control this type of
employment are concerned, accord
ing to information received this
week by Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr.,
executive secretary of the st. Paul
Urban League.
Schmidt COoperates
Mr.. Mitchell stated that an of
fetal of the brewery workers
union told him this during a con-
ference. At the same time the
Urban League head announced that
the Jacob Schmidt company was
employing its second colored per-
son this week. He pointed out,
however, both of these people are
classified under office personnel
and do not have to join the union.
End Color Bar
The secretary stated that it is
important to end the color bar
which the union has established be-
cause the industry in question is
one of the largest in Minnesota.
He added that there is no reason
why a union or any other organi-
cation should negotiate a contract
which requires that it's members
only should be employed in certain
categories and then refuse to per-
nit persons in a certain race to
become members.
To Speak To Union
Mr.. Mitchell said he has been
negotiating with the union for a
number of months but this weeks
conference is the first concrete in
dication he has on where the or
ganization stands. He also said
that he has been granted an OPP
portunity to take the matter up
with the membership of the union
at one of its regular meetings on
August 81 In the Labor Temple.
In a statement to the st. Paul
Recorder and the Minneapolis
Spokesman he declared that this
attitude on the part of the union
members was most unfortunate in
a time when the labor movement in
Minnesota is under close scrutiny
from many people unfriendly to it.
To Appeal To Square Shooters
He said further that he hoped
the whole trade union movement
would not have to suffer for such
expressions on the part Of one
group. The secretary stated that
he was going to put the matter up
to the unions membership in a
fashion which he hoped would ap-
peal to the square shooters" in
the group. When questioned on
what he intended to do if the mem
bers still failed to cooperate, he
stated that he had other plans in
mind but hoped that it would not
be necessary to make use of them.
According to information re-
ceived by this newspaper, the
union has a closed shop agreement
with all breweries. This means
that anyone getting employment
at the concerns, except such persons
as are classified under office per-
sonnet, must either be a member
of the union or be given what is
called a permit card by the union.
To date, not even permit cards will
be given colored people.
Prior to the employment given
at the Schmidt company, there
have been no openings in this field
for the colored people of st. Paul
or Minneapolis because most of the
owners of the concerns have in
sisted that they would not hire
anyone unless the unions would APP
prove of the action.

pulsory examinations we have no reason
now for changing our opinion of them.
But we have, at the same time, several
definite ideas as to what the state ought
to do in the future If it hopes to satisfy
every motorist And the very first thing
it should plan to do, (perhaps may have
done so already is to make it possible for
motorists to have their cars examined
without the loss of time that caused so
much annoyance. This could be done in
a number of ways-more testing lanes,
better locations, different hours Of exam
ination.
Another important feature that should
not be overlooked is the necessity of uni
formity in the tests They should be the
same for all and no concessions made.
If motorists are to be taxed Is or SO
cents more year to get safe driving con-
ditions, then let's really make supreme
effort all around to see that they get their
moneys worth.

One Man

Through interminable days OF anxious
fear the world has awaited the decision OF
one mana decision that means either
peace and progress or war and disaster.
There can be no doubt that Herr Hitler
relishes standing alone in the spotlight of
the world, holding in his hand what may
be the destiny OF our civilization. The
Fuehrer glories in his power. t...
We cannot help but wonder If Herr
Hitler, as he dreams OF dominating a
Europe or world, recalls that other men
have had great dreams OF conquest in the
past. Some failed to see their hopes ma
terialize; some did gain domination. But
all are gone from the stage OF world
events, and with them went their con-
quests.
The world has had its Caesars, its Cen
ghis Khans, its Napoleons- fired with
the same ambitions, all seeking always
more lands and more peoples to domi-
nate. They won empires, but they were
empires built on sand.
The Hitler pattern is familiar one to
students Of history. 1t is one that has
been followed many times. Herr Hitler
may win all he seeks, he may rank an in
vincible for a time. But like the others
he, too, will some time face day of reck-
oning.
