ILLINOIS COURT RULING HIT
AS FOSTERING JIM-cRoWIsM

Chicago, Nov, (CNA)-If a court
can hold that Negroes may be ex-
cluded from premises of private club,
rented for public purposes, then the
way has been thrown open for jim
crow operators throughout Illinois to
call their businesses, clubs and bar all
co1ored citizens.
This was the contention of Ishmael
2. Flory, secretary-treasurer of the
Joint Council of Dining Car Employees,
as he sought this week to obtain re-
hearing before Municipal Judge Oscar
Chaplain in case involving cancella-
tion last January of rental contract
between the Medinah Club, sos N.
Michigan Avenue, and the Chicago
Newspaper Guild
The Guild had arranged to hold
benefit dance for strikers on the Chi
cago Hearst newspapers, but had its
contract cancelled by the Medinah
Club because Negroes were invited to
attend
Judge Caplan held on October 5th,
that the Medinah Club did not come
within the meaning of public hall un-
der the Civil Rights Act and dismissed
the $500 damage suit of Flory, who
had bought tickets for the affair and
who claimed that he had been the Wit
tim of rank discrimination.

FRANCE CALLS UP COLONIALS;
RELEASE WHITE RESERVISTS

Paris, Nov, (CNA)-In radio
speech this week, George Mandel,
French Minister of Colonies, an
nounced that 100000 fresh colonial
troops were on their way to France for
service on the Western Front
Mandel stated that "the first concern
of the government was to increase the
colonial effectives by so per cent The
result is that in infantry we have been
able to form 100 battalions exclusively
composed of Native troops"
Referring to the colonies as sources
of materials, Mandel stated that during
the four years, 1914-18, the French
overseas possessions furnished France
3,44l GOO tons of products, while since
the beginning of September, this year,
the colonies supplied France with a
total of 100000 tons of goods
French colonies here regard this sit
uation with the greatest misgiving.
They see their countries being drained
of young and able-bodied males and of
natural resources and food supply.
They view the vast mobilization of
colonial man-power, together with the
recent release of thousands of white
reservists from the French Army, as
an indication that tn French Govern
ment intends to make the colonial peo-
pies bear the brunt of the war. They
point out that France has so far made
no concessions to her colonial peoples
by way Of amelioration of their eco.

change for their enforced help.

RUSSIAN BEATS JONES
PARACHUTE RECORD

Moscow, November, (CNA) "A
new record for parachute jumping was
set here this week by Y. M. So1odov-
mix, a Soviet engineer. Solodovnik was
credited with making 32,808 foot
parachute jump, which, it is said, was
the first ever made from the region of
the stratosphere. He wore a special
suit and landed in 20 minutes and 2
seconds after drifting ten minutes.
(The previous high record for a par
achute jump was made last August %,
when Willie (Sucide) Jones, Negro
daredevil, leaped from a plane 2o,400
feet above Markham Field, Chicago.
He bettered record set by Captain
Nikolai Evdokimoff in jump of 26,
SIS feet over Moscow in 1884

INTERNATIONAL BROTHER
HOOD OF RED CAPS INSTITUTE
FIRST CIVIL SUIT AGAINST
AMERICAN RAILROADS TO RE-
COVER THREE MILLION DOL
LARS IN BACK WAGES.

Chicago, November 1.-THE 1nterna
tional Brotherhood of Red Cps, this
week, filed its first civil suits in the
United States District Courts in Chi
cago and Washington to recover up
wards of 100000 in back wages due
red caps since the inception of the
Wage and Hour Law October "a, 1889.
Among the railroads and terminal conf
panies named by the Union in the first
wage recovery suits were: New York
Central railroad; Chicago and North
Western railroad Pennsylvania rail-
road; Chicago and Western Indiana
railroad; Illinois Central and the
Washington Terminal Co. Union Of
ficials stated that similar suits would
follow throughout the nation.
The IBRC, through President Will
lard S. Townsend and Secretary-Treas
John L. Yancey, has been named as
signee in the suit by the employees on
the various railroads and terminals.
Headed by Lean M. Despres of Chi
cago and George E. c. Hayes Of
Washington, the Brotherhood's legal
staff will include many prominent Ne
gro and white attorneys to collect one
of the largest amounts of unpaid wages
due railway workers in the history of
American trade unionism.
The Brotherhood's suit eliminates a
year old legal controversy between the
Union and the Association of Ameri-
can Railroads before the Wage and
Hour Administration on the lagal ma
ture of tips in relation to wages. When
the Wage and Hour law went into eff
feet last October, railroads throughout
the country instituted an accounting
and guarantee arrangement by which
red caps were compelled TO report tips
earned, which were used to meet the
new Federal minimum wage require
ments. This action was challenged by
the Brotherhood as contrary to the
spirit and letter of the law. The Union
placed the matter before the Wage and
Hour Administration which resulted in
the recent ruling of Elmer F. Andrews,
former administrator of the law, in
which he issued new bookkeeping
regulations and stated that the rail
roads clearly violated the spirit of the
Act but whether they violated the let
ter of the law would have to be deter
mined through court actor"
President Townsend commenting on
the civil suits, stated that "this is un-
doubtedly the largest suit filed for the
collection of wages due since the incep-
ton of the Fair Labor Standards Act
To bring it to a successful conclusion
will require the closest cooperation OF
all red caps in the country, whether
they are members or non-members OF
the Brotherhood" 1t is estimated that
nearly 5000 red cap employees will
eventually be affected by the suits
against the railroads. .s
The Wage and Hour Division of the
us. Department of Labor, last week,
filed suit in the us. District Court
at Cincinnati against the Cincinnati
Union Terminal Company, Inc. Harold
D. Jacobs, acting administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, filed the suit
through Joseph Rauh, assistant genera
counsel of the Division. The govern
ments suit asked an injunction re,
straining further violations of the Ac
in the company's use of tips to meet
minimum wage requirements.

WHY DO LITTLE BOYS NEED
WAGONS

Learning to control the use of his
body is one of the main achievements
of the young child. There are num-
Der of things to keep in mind in plan
ming an environment that will encour-
age a child's motor development.
l. Great freedom for activity is i'm
perative; not because bodily control is
an end in itself, but because it plays so
large a part in determining what a
child'S social and emotional adjustment
are going to be. For example, the
mastery of ceCtain skills may make a
child more self-confident in attacking
Others When you can steer your sled
down hill, you are eager to try some
thing bit harder.
g. A feeling of competence about
the way he used his body has the eff
feet of making child less submissive
and timid, of making him more ready
to try again when he has failures. He
is better able to meet competition il
he has the poise and assurance that
come from having a well-developed and
we'll controlled body.
3. Opportunity for the exercise OF
potential powers is far more important
than training; thus, it is not nearly
so important to encourage child tt
walk alone, to swim at an early age, tc
ride a velocipede, or to achieve any
other special skill, as it is to make

NelU Game Fish for State
Looms as Crossing Result.

Minnesota seems destined to add an
other game fish to its already imposing
galaxy of such celebrities, as a result
of crossing muskellunge and the Great
Northern pike.
This information was given at the
Midwest Wildlife conference held here
recently by DR.. Samuel Eddy, of the
University of Minnesota geological de-
partment He said the crossings had
succeeded in producing gamer fish
and one that grows twice as fast as
either of the two kinds involved. A
young specimen of the new fish was
on display in a glass tank and attracted
a great deal of interest.
Winston A. Elkins, game manager OF
the United States forest service, sta
toned at Milwaukee, told the gather
ing that Minnesota held prospects OF
better deer hunting that any other
forest area in the whole country

attractive to yachtsmen, fishermen,
hunters, and the "mine-run" of vaca-
tionists who, early in February, will be
planning their summer recreation.
Thousands of spectators who annually
throng Navy iPer for the show will be
afforded an opportunity, too. to indulge
in the thrills of shooting, angling and
golfing, and to record their mid Winter
skill in many sports competitions us
ually reserved for warmer months.
Live deer, skunks which have been
"deodorized" live fish, wolves, foxes,
pheasants, quail, and other game birds
and animals are to be displayed in
natural settings arranged by various
state departments of conservation.
The finest and latest makes of pleas
ure craft, particularly cruisers, sailing
yachts and speed boats-reinforced with
"stream-lined" camp equipment which
incorporates the most modern conven-
iences-will be installed by the show
exhibitors before opening date.

sure that he is unhampered when ne
tries to make use of his own powers.
For example, many parents are in a
great hurry for their child to walk, but
they do not see to it that he has a
safe place in which to climb, or that
he has equipment that will encourage
the use of all his large muscles.
4. A child's health is promoted by
play that makes use of the whole body
Much large-muscle play is naturally
carried on out-of- doors. A wagon can
be used in carrying out so many kinds
of imaginative play that child may
stay out for an hour with his wagon
and be perfectly happy, whereas if hi
were cooped up in the house he'd bt
appealing to his mother as to what tt
do now"

Scores Of Grateful Users Say They
Are Feeling Better in Every Way
Since Taking Famous Herbal
Compound

It stands to reason that any per-
son whose system is clogged with
poisonous waste matter is very
sick indeed. The blood becomes
saturated with poisons, the kidneys
fail to function properly, the liver
becomes torpid and lazy, and the
bowels cease to act as they should.
This brings on, in many cases,
headaches, dizziness, indigestion,
constipation, kidney weakness,
backache, leg pains, aches and
pains in arms and legs and shout
ders, nervousness, sleeplessness and
general weakness. Gas often forms
and you have sour taste in your
mouth. Many simple ailments can
be attributed TO faulty elimination.
A thoroughly constipated person is
as a rule very nervous and dis
agreeable and often is worried and
irritable. If your trouble is caused
by constipation or you are suffering
with stomach trouble, give HERB
TEX a chance and see if it will
give you relief. Better still, why
not take a course of HERBTEX.
At least give HERBTEX a chance.
Take five bottles. If after taking
your very first bottle of HERBTEX
you do not see a big improvement
in every way, you may return the
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back. This now ia
nous Herbal Tonic contains the
plants and vegetables supplied by
nature, and is guaranteed to bene-
fit you. You should cat better, sleep
better and feel, look and act better
after taking 4. course of it. Try
HERBTEX today. You VIII feel
better.
