HARLEM GROUP LAUNCHES
EMERGENCY SPAIN DRIVE

New York, Feb, (CN A)-An er1er.
gency campaign to raise foodstuffs

Spain in Harlem and other Negro
communities was launched here thi:
week by the Negro Peoples Commit
tee to Aid Spanish Democracy. The
committee joined with the multitude
of persons and organizations pressing
more theoretically than ever the drive
to lift the arms embargo against 10y.
alst Spain, and to afford relief for
millions of refugees.
The Negro Peoples Committee, an
affiliate of the Medical Bureau and
North American Committee to Aid
Spanish Democracy, met in the Har-
lem YMCA under the craftsmanship OF
the Rev. Welliam Lloyd lines. Con-
tributions, it was announced, may be
sent to DIR. lines, St. James Presby-
terrain Church, l4lst St. and Edge
combe Ave-, New York City.
Attending were prominent Harlem
labor and professional leaders, includ-
ing B. F. McLaurin, Brotherhood OF
Sleeping Car Porters; Cyril Phillip
West Indian leader; Miss Meva Price,
a teacher; Theodore Bassett, Harlem
Division, Communist Party, and Ben
Davis, Jr, Associate Editor of the
Crusader News Agency.
Some of the prominent anti-tasc1sts
who sent pledges of support to the
drive were William Pickens, Max
Yergan, Henry K Craft, Bernice Vim
cent, Ferdinand Smith, Mrs. A. Philip
Randolph. Angelo Herndon, Roy Will
kins and Marion Cuthbert.
Meantime, scores of Harlem organi-
cations have sent wires to President
Roosevelt and to Senator Pittman,
chairman of the Senate Foreign At
fairs Committee, urging the lifting of
the arms embargo which prevents the
Spanish Republic from buying arms
for its defense. The kilograms warn
that victory for Mussolini in Spain
would be direct menace to American
democracy. They point out that "by
our embargo we are giving aid to Hit
Ter and Mussolini and all they stand
for"

RED CAPS TO PUSH WAGE
FIGHT IN CAPITAL

Washington, Feb, (CNA)-The In
ternational Brotherhood of Red Cap.
this week opened an office here from
which President Willard Townsend O
the union will carry on the fight o.
service workers for full rights under
the Wages-Hour Law.
The Wages-Hour Division of the
Labor Department has before it now
the petition of the Brotherhood that
Red Caps and other service workers
be paid the wages prescribed by the
act. The railroads have urged an in
depreciation of the law which would
classify tips as wages. Such an in
depreciation, according to Townsend,
would be clear violation of the in
tent of the law.
Tips are not considered adequate.
l. Many passengers do not tip Red
Caps, assuming that they have paid
for this service when they purchase
transportation.
2. Tips do not provide an adequate
income to Red Caps anywhere, and
especially in Il e South, where they
run as low as two or three dollars a
week.
3. Since the passage of the Wages
Hour Bill, tips have decreased for the
reason that many people think Red
Caps are now on salary.
The Red Caps union is taking an
gressive movements, especially the po-
litical struggle against the reaction
aries in the present Congress. The in
ternational office has sent kilograms
and has urged every local to do like
wise, protesting cuts in WPA appro.
priations, opposing change in the
Wagner Act or continuation Of the
anti-Negro Dies Committee.

years out of savagery," he declared:
at strikes me that the remarkable
thing is not that we have Negro
problem but that the Negro is so
little of problem and has come so far
in so short time. We can help
them work out their economic and ed
vocational future if we provide more
adequate educational opportunities for
them.
1--WE should stop crowding them
into slums, both country sluns and
city slums. The Negro problem would
be much more quickly solved, too, if
better health and medical service were
available to the race and that is one
of the things we must give attention
to along with education, housing, jobs
and better working conditions in the
future.
There isn't any bigger job ahead
of us in this country than to help give
the opportunity to this race that they
are entitled to as citizens of the ma
ton. To give them their opportunity
will not only help them, but it will
help the entire nation. 1t will make
this better and more harmonious
country. This problem of race rela-
tons will take care of itself largely
when the colored race is given educa-
tional advantages, health and medical
care, better living conditions and more
of the good jobs and not all of the
poor ones"

SOLONS READY TO CARRY
OUT STASSEN IDEAS
Legislators Begin Work on Program
of Economy and Improvements as
Requested by Governor

With Governor Stassen's budget
proposals now before them, members
of the Minnesota legislature buckled
down to work in earnest this week
upon the big task of carrying out the
governors program.
From both the senate and house
came assurance that the legislature
will cooperate with the governor in
his announced desire that the state
shall spend less money during the
next two years. Senator Charles N.
Orr, majority leader in the senate, and
Roy E. Dunn, majority leader in the
house, said the legislators generally
are in accord with the governors re-
quest to hold expenditures down.
Governor Stassen in his message to
the legislature submitted a budget
which calls for reduction in expen-
ditures for this biennium over the last
of $3,039.372, or total of $40 ,3OO,823
as compared with $82,340,195. In
creases are inevitable in some funds,
as in the case of old age assistance,
the governor said, but these increases
were more than offset by reductions.
Savings on Roads
AS evidence of the efforts made to
save money in the operation of depart
ments, Stassen pointed out that M. 7.
: Hoffman, the new highway COM
missioner, is making plans now to
maintain the highways this year with
100000 instead of $ll,679,OOO spent
last year.
Many of the legislators are looking
with favor on proposal the COVER
nor made that the funds which must
be borrowed to finish up the present
biennium until July lst be borrowed.
Stassen said that $4,500000 must be
appropriated to make up the deficien-
cies for the biennium which began
July lst, 1887.
This issue of indebtedness might
we'll be called the farmer labor defici-
ency bond issue to distinguish it from
the problems of our own biennium,"
he said.
The work of the legislature so for
has been confined largely to prelimi-
nary sessions. Only few bills have
been passed. Virtually all major pro-
posals still must be worked out in
committee.
Big Task Ahead
COMMITTEES in both houses have
started work on civil service bills.
Members of both houses apparently
are ready to carry out the governors
proposal for civil service system that
will put state employees on a merit
basis. Study of labor relations bills
also is under way. Bills modifying
the state government in the interest
of economy and efficiency as re-
quested by the governor also are be-
ginning to make their apDearance

50q6 More Gas Used
ByCar in Traffic Than
On Road, , Tests Show
Delays Bring Cost
To $4,000 Per Mile
: Per Yeur

approximately so per cent more
gasoline is required to drive a mile
in fairly congested traffic than on
an open road, DR.. A. j. Bone of the
Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology reported to the Highway Re-
search Board of the National Re-
search Council here today.
This spring, Prof. Bone reported,
100 tests were made with an expert
mental car over about S miles OF
streets in downtown Boston between
Tam. and pm. on ordinary week
days. Other tests over the same
streets were made on Sunday morn
ings when traffic was very light.
The results indicated that, under
ordinary conditions q driver VIII re-
uuire about minutes to travel
mile in moderate weekday trafic.
spending az minutes IN trafnc stops,
IL minutes in first and second
gear and minutes in high gear.
Four or five complete stops will be
required for each mile, averaging
about 80 seconds per stop. These
stops and other traffic Interruptions,
Prof. Bone said. will cause an in
crease Of about so per cent in 'gaso-
line consumption. The average con-
sumption for the test car. 1884
sedan. was 12.1 miles per gallon for
citv traffic and 1872 miles per gallon
over the same streets on Sunday.
Calculated on the basis OF the
total amount of traffic over these
streets per year, Prof. Bone said
that the additional cost for gasoline
caused by traffic delays amounts TO
approximately $4,000 per mile per
year.
The Boston tests were checked
last summer by comparative tests
on the modern Hutchinson River
Parkway leading out Of New York
City and the highly congested Bos-
ton Post road. These tests showed an
average gas consumption OF 2Ol
miles per gallon and an average
speed of SO miles per hour on the
parkways, compared with 1874 miles
per gallon and Is miles per hour
on the post road. Thus each mile
of driving on the parkways required
three-quarters of minute less time
and 8.5 per cent less gasoline. The
saving in gasoline costs was about
tenth OF q cent per mile.
Other technical reports dealt with
methods of reducing or eliminating
dust on country roads and overcom-
ing the effects of frost on concrete
highways. The annual dinner Of
the Highway Research Board will
be held at the washington Hotel
