To N. w. Enterprise:
AS a member of the executive
board of the King County United
Democratic Club, may I present
the aims and objects of our or
ganization as I see them?
One of the objects of our pro-
gram is to establish some semb-
lance of dignity among the Negro
politicians in King County. With
this accomplished, the Negroes in
King County will be better disposed
to obtain and demand the benefits
of our political endeavors. In the
first place, Negro democrats of
this community were never united
in a program for the benefit of
all the people, but were dominated
by several groups who were only
interested in political patronage
benefits for themselves or a few
individuals.
With a program to benefit all
the people, we feel that our or
ganization has the foundation to-
ward building a lasting unity and
a oneness of purpose of the Ne
gro people of this area. Also it will
have at least one organization to
help obtain the maximum bene-
fits for us under the New Deal.
To exemplify: Our club is the
only Negro democrat club recog-
nized by the King County Central
Committee, the highest organ OF
democrats in King County. We
have established contact with ev-
cry New Deal agency, w. P. A.,
etc., to help secure greater bene-
fits for the Negroes in King Coun-
ty.
To explain further, we believe
that all the people should share in
the benefits derived from political
activity and not be deprived of
these efforts by so-called lead
ers" who falsely represent them
selves and sell us out behind closed
doors, and also have been bold
enough to do this openly. To di-
gress further, in my past ten
years experience here in the city, 1
have seen Negro political clubs
partisan and non-partisan, break
up and completely disintegrate
only because the so-called leaders"
couldn't be allowed the freedom
of their RUGGED INDIVIDUAL
ISM to pursue their traitorous
acts against their own race. The
membership would cease function
ing because they refused to be
duped any further. Another aim is
to establish an organization to
prevent what / have said above.
To give the whole of the Negroes
a progressive organization by
which they may express themselves
politically and demand respect
from all politicians without the
necessity of having one or two
leaders" pilot them in their po-
litical destiny.
The above two aims and objects
are plenty and enough for the
present for any Negro organization
to attempt. However, there are
many problems still confronting us
and we are endeavoring to solve
them also: Discrimination on w.
P. A., color bar in public institu-
tons, etc., and things, no end.
I just happen to be progressive
democrat. But if these aims and
detectives of our club are commun-
istic, then I'm a communist.
Respectfully,
Herman A. Moore

Germany, which was the major

given way to the United States and
Japan, suffered another setback last

The American Commercial At

German toy exports declined from

He attributed the drop to Japanese
competition and to boycotts in other
markets.
He also said that the United
States, Great Britain, Netherlands.
Belgium, Argentina and Canada
were producing more of their own
toys. Egypt, he added, also is pian-

port toys to other Oriental countries.

Stock AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, April 25-The stock
market moved into recovery terri
tory today but steam was notably
lacking in the reversal of trend.
Dealings, slow at the start, sub
sequently came almost to a halt.
Near the fourth hour, however,
gains running to a point or SO were
we'll distributed.
Although war fears seemed to
have lessened in boardrooms, most
traders displayed little or no urge
to get aboard the buying van. There
were few hopeful notes in the do
mestic business chorus, but these
ELECTED only faint response.
Factors considered in the market

ton.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Freight
car loadings in the first quarter CT
1899 were 81 per cent smaller than
in the last quarter of 1898, accord
ing to the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute. At the same time, they
were 81 per cent larger than ia
the first quarter of last year. The
increase in the volume over year
ago, however, was smaller thar
that anticipated by the 13 Shippers
Regional Advisory Boards. They
had forecasted an increase of 9.9
per cent
THE Shippers Boards expect that
car loadings in the second quarter
will be 1875 per cent larger than in
the corresponding period last year.
There is good possibility that this
forecast will be realized. 1t will
mean an increase of only 48 pei
cent over the volume IN the first
quarter and there is usually sea-
sonal expansion at this time.
IF this forecast is realized, car
loadings in the first half Of 1899
will total 15,556,0O0. This provides
basis for forecasting total car
loadings for the full year During
the period beginning with 1929, the
volume in the last half has exceeded
the volume in the first half by 81
per cent on the average. In 1888,
there was an increase of POT per
cent which was the largest increase
during the period. In 1881, there
was a decrease of 48 per cent, which
was the largest decrease recorded
On the basis of this record, car
loadings for the full year of 1899
may be placed at 1905 900 as
normal expectation. They Nigh.
reach as high figure as "a 1882 900
and as low a figure as 3O,365 900.
If loadings in 1899 equal the
normal expectation of 31,9O5 900.
they will be only slightly larger
than the total of 3O,469 900 in 1888
The volume this year will, conse-
quently, be relatively low. Load
lngs will not be much above the
depression's lowest figure of 28.-
10000 in 1882 They will be we'll
below the pre-depression figure o.
52.828000 in 1929 and also consid-
erably below the recovery peak Of
1888 900 in 1887"

Farmers Speed Work

Weather Arrives
Experts Receive Reports
Of Oats Rottine and
Seeding Delays
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 25.-Taking ad-
vantage of rising temperatures and
abating rainfall, farmers through
out the grain belt today hastened
SOIL preparation and planting-work
which has been delayed by cold, wet
weather.
Crop experts received reports of
rotting of oats and serious delay in
seeding in important producing
regions where the crop should have
been in the ground by mid-April.
Many fields have failed to sprout
and may have to be reseeded or
planted to other grains.
Farmers in the Northwest hoped
10 complete spring wheat planting
this week or next, but operations
were 10 days to two weeks later than
year ago. Throughout the country
ploWs were furroWing the earth,
preparatory to seeding of corn, but
there were many localities where
wet soil or standing water kept
farmers off the fields.
Livestock Prices Up.
Most farmers pinned hopes for
their best cash return on livestock,
which are bringing high prices in
comparison with the value of grains
used for feed. Most grains were
priced lower than year ago.
Popularity of livestock producing,
however, created demand for corn
not tied up under Government loans.
Here are the approximate market
prices by which farmers gagged
