Negroes Start Own
Insurance Clubs

The Northwe est Enterprise
learned through Mr.. Squires that
efforts are under way to establish
automobile clubs principally for
Negroes. The plan, which would
incorporate at least one reliable
serviceman in all principal cities,
has already been put into operation
in some eastern cities and is in
corporated,
Information has been furnished
the Fidelity Motor Club of Pitts
burg, Pa. by the Urban League
secretaries all over the country,
relative to the automobile club and
insurance plan which, it is believed,
would serve a great need of the
race. Such valuable information
as names of hotels, stopping and
eating places, tourists cabins and
homes and filling stations operated
by and having Accommodations for
Negroes, is solicited by the cor
poration, which has an interracial
board of directors. Recent embar-
assing situations encountered by
members of staff of the Pittsburg
Urban League has added Impetus to
the movement.

Bernard E. Squires
Is VIEW. Speaker

Bernard E. Squires, executive
secretary of Seattle Urban League,
was the guest speaker at the first,
of a series of "open meetings" to
be conducted by Lewis Ford Post
No. 289, in the interest of Junior
Activities.
To be a veteran is a great heri-
tage which all who have not that
privilege envy, said the speaker.
This privilege that is yours when
you look back on what you have
gone through, should make you
feel that it is your duty to parti-
cipate in program for community
betterment.
This privilege carries a respon-
sibility, through your Junior Ac-
tivities, to conduct the next gener-
alton to decency and a higher STAN
dard of living, with an inspiration
to attain that Democracy for
which you fought"

DR.. Fred A. Hughes
And Wife Will Be
Honored On Oct. 2

DR.. and Mrs. Fred A. Hughes
will be honored Tuesday evening,
October 3 at a farewell reception
given at the First A.ME. Church
to which the public is cordially
invited. At the Puget Sound An
nual Conference held in Portland,
Ore. last August, DR.. Hughes was
transferred from this conference
to the Missouri Conference. He
has served the First Church of
Seattle for over three years, COM
ing here from California. DR..
Hughes will remain in Seattle until
the first Sunday in November, but
Mrs. Hughes is leaving next week
to attend the national Missionary
Conference and will not return,
hence the reason for the reception
on Tuesday.
The entire church membership
and host of friends are cooperat-
ing to show their appreciation to
DR.. and Mrs. Hughes for their
unselfish service to the citizens of
Seattle. They have served not only
the members of the church but
the entire community. AS long as
there is a First Church in Seattle
DR.. Hughes will be revered for
his notable service in clearing the
Church and it's property from debt.
For many years huge debt hung
over the church and threatened it's
very existence. Through his wise
leadership and much prayer this
debt was removed during the past
year and the entire citizenry of
Seattle have benefited therefrom.
This is only one of the myriad
services from which the church
and Seattle has benefited.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Hughes are
held in the highest esteem by all
of Seattle and the church member
ship hopes and urges that every
Seattleite will join in to do them
honor A purse made up of per-
sonal contributions from members
and friends will be presented to
them on this evening. Any person
or organization wishing to contri-
butte is invited to do so. w. D.
Appling, Mrs. Mildred Staten and
Mrs. Irene Alexander have charge
of collecting this fund.
Sharing honors with the Pastor
and his wife will be Rev. and Mrs.
George S. Allen, the former Pre-
siding Elder of the district who
also has been transferred to the
Missouri Conference.

The negotiations, results oil
which will benefit hundreds of Ne
gro automobile owners in this state
and pave the way for breaking
down the bars in other states,
began August ID in Sullivan's Of
fices in the Exchange Building.
Through the method of procedure
employed by Sullivan and Squires,
the bars of the ten companies fell
simultaneously unaccompanied by a
fanfare of publicity. Squires told
this reporter that Sullivan's every
effort to put an end to discrimina-
ton by insurance companies was
sincere, and that by working quiet
ly through the office of the Deputy
Commissioner, the job was accom-
plished sooner than was expected.
Sullivan said Negroes had been
refused liability insurance solely
on the grounds that colored clients
were bad risks. He said many
lawyers contend that Negroes
stand a poor chance of winning
damage claims in the courts of
the state, and for that reason have
been refused liability protection.
Sullivan further stated that there
would be no discriminatory clauses
in insurance policies issued to Ne
groes. Colored people, he said, are
subject to no more and no less
risk than other policy holders.
Membership in the American Auto
mobile Association in this state is
also available to Negroes, it was
learned.

ESQ Members Fail
To Meet With KC
Democratic Club
BY Ted Wood

The King County United
d e m ocratic Club, which
boasts of a membership of
$50, met at Chandler Hall
Sunday afternoon with every
member-except 239-in at
tendance. c. T. Dawson, who
has acted as Grand Boob Bah
of the organization since ]. A.
Jack" Johnson resigned as presi-
dent, presided over the first fall
meeting, which wasn't a meeting
at all. No official business was
transacted but the audience which
numbered IL, including visitors
heard an enlightening discussion
of the German-Russian alliance.
The fact that 239 of the clubs
members made themselves con-
spicuous by their absence seemed
to be source of much concern to
the faithful few who could advance
no reason why the Grant members
failed to attend the meeting. A
meeting of the Executive Board
of the club was to be held Monday
night. At the next public meeting,
many of the stray members are
expected to be brought back into
the fold.
1t has been whispered lately that
Johnson is organizing another de-
mocratic club and that some KCU
DC members are climbing on the
Johnson bandwagon. These whis-
pers, although still unconfirmed,
have gained momentum since the
meeting Sunday.
Johnson claimed at the time of
his resignation that the executive
body of the organization is pre-
dominantly communist and that he
could not tolerate, its radical ac-
tivities. However some members
say Johnson's garments are not
without stain. More than once they
have asserted that the ex-president
wanted to use the organization to
further his personal ambitions.
Johnson, who was rated a good
mouth piece for the club, has been
replaced by a publication which
keeps the town posted on the club S
activities. The sheet also keeps
the offices of the shariff and the
district attorney posted on a few
delicate subjects that have hereto
fore been guarded. Last week in
an open letter to the Rev. Fred
A. Hughes they pulled a prize
boner by openly suggesting a
course of action to follow and call
ing the names of the principals
involved. Had they posted detailed
letters to the guardians of the two
offices the effect could not have
been more damaging. However,
the organization pledged its sup
port to the NAACP.

Digesting
+ he News
Of the World

There is a very common
Southern picture in early
spring time: a group of Ne
groes peacefully r e lin n 6
against the levee, out of the
wind in the warm sunshine, happy
and laughing, some whiting sticks
others talking about nothing.
Yes, it fascinates but it does not
inspire. They just sit there. COM
pletely satisfied, because they
know there is enough in the lar
der for the next few meals, and
Mandy is in the kitchen working
hard to have dinner ready when
the plantation bell rings.
So writes Monsignor Peter M.
H. Wynhoven in the Catholic
Northwest Progress. His eminence
paints a vivid picture of the
Southern Negro to illustrate the
complacency of the Catholic
Church in this country. While 1
agree that the picture is not with
out background, I think the article
is misleading, in that the uniform
ed reader is given to believe the
picture is typical of the Southern
Negro. Nothing could be further
from the truth. In the past 20
years the progressive trend in the
management of Negro affairs in
the south has almost obliterated
such pictures and it is indeed a
rarity to witness such scenes as
referred to by Monsignor Wynn
hoven.
Surely Monsignor Wynhoven
must realize that such illustrations
while made in the interest of the
Church, are none the less damag-
ing to the Negro and retards his
economic progress. For who would
employ a Negro after digesting
such an account which cannot fail
to leave the reader with the i'm
preston that the Negro is COM
pletely satisfied when there is
enough in the larder for the next
meal ?"
wonder just how much the
Monsignor really knows about the
Negro of the South? Could he
possibly be ignorant of the fact
that in most instances the Negro
works from daylight until dark
to exc out a meagre living so sys-
tematically denied him by his white
brother Gin the name of Jesus ?"
1 could go on with illustrations of
the Industrious Negro of the south
but that is history even to the
Catholic Church. Monsignor Wynn
hoVen painted the picture to prove
something to the Holy Roman
Catholic Church. He did. He proved
that even the brothers of the cloth
will Unfortunately magnify the
deplorable traits of a minority
group as being typical of a race
as a whole. But not even the
Priesthood is infallible.
Tuesday night 1 listened to DR..
George Washington Carver in the
1--WE, the People" program. To re-
peat here what the great scien-
fist said would only be waste
of space, since most of us know
his story by heart. However, one
cannot easily forget tie significance

RACE SEAMEN In RESCUE
OF STRANDED AMERICANS
National Maritime Union
Wins Victory Over Ship
Company Jim-crow
BY Fay nj. jackson

NEW YORK-Close on the heels
of press reports that pro-German
sympathy of many seamen on
American liners were making it
difficult for the Government to
bring stranded Americans back
from Europe, the National Mari
time Union announced this week
that 4G2 colored seamen were re-
gistered and employed last fort
night on four ships engaged in
resuce work.
Employment of these men, many
of whom had been thrown out OF
work after the Munson and Red D
Lines went out of business and the
American Republic and Grace
Lines, respectively, took over their
routes, marks a distinct victory
for the N. M. u.
The S rs international
Union, an FL affiliated, asertedly
failed to break up discrimination
suffered by the Negro unionists.

1t was explained to the writer
that while the S. S. st John anc

Lines, they carried an S. I. u
crew. When those ships were char
tered by the u. S. Lines, the S. I
u. crew had to abondon ship fol
the N. M. u. crew.
This action" declared Ferdin
and Smith, Negro, national vice
president of the NMU, strongly
emphasizes the necessity for one
unit of seamen.
