Labor Peace Between
CIO and AL Predicted
By A. Phillip Randolph

Ultimately there will be peace
between the C. /. o. and the A.
F. of l., A. Philip Randolph, in
ternational president of the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
predicted, Sunday, when he spoke
to an audience of over three hun
dred people in the Phyllis Wheatley
in Minneapolis.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Twin City Local of the broth
erhood. Mr.. Randolph, who was
the main speaker, stated that the
present controversy between rival
labor groups is only passing in
cident in American labor history.
It is not important to decide
which of these schools of labor Ne
groes should join, he said, but it is
important that Negroes should be
on either side but in the trade union
movement. The Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters is an A. F.
of L. Union.
POrters' Fight Cost Half Million
Speaking on the history of. the
porters' union, Mr.. Randolph stated
that the organization over a four
teen year period collected over a
half million dollars from its mem
bers themselves to wage their fight
for justice. Frank Boyd, secretary
treasurer of the Twin City local,
was mentioned as one of the men

Expert on Race
Music Challenged
By Authority
EXPERT CHALLENGED ON,
NEGRO MUSIC

New York, Oct. (CNA)-Law-
renee Gellert, white authority on
Negro spirituals and work songs of
the South, this week took sharp is
sue with the assertion of Professor
Hertzog of Columbia University
that "spirituals are mere versions
of white mans music"
Hertzog's assertion, made at the
International Congress of the
Musicological Society of Beethoven
Hall, was played up by the New
York Times and other white pa
pers. In letter to those papers,
Gellert points out that until the
Spirituals won worldwide acclaim
no one bothered to question their
Negro origin. His letter states, in
part:
Cup to the time of the Civil war,
the only record we have Of their
songs is crude, wild, primitive
snatches,' unworthy of anyone's no
tice. When the Spirituals finally
reached the ears of the world. ac-
claimed, applauded and recognized
as the outstanding contribution to
genuine folk art in America, the
Southern Master stepped forward
to take the bows. His spiritual
heirs have heard and retold it so
often / have no doubt they believe
it themselves.
"Only few years back Guy B.
Johnson, Southern professor, pub
lished a whole volume on the sub
ject. It was a learned thesis
buttressed with scholastic twaddle,
proving the white mans claim to
the Negro songs beyond all shadow
of doubt"
Gellert suggests that visit to
the South would change Hertzog's
opinion, adding:
IF Professor Hertzog is unable
to leave the city at this time, I'll be
glad to let him hear some of the
recordings I've made of Negro
songs. The white music (sung in
Southern churches) / didn't record.
I'm very sorry to say it had moth
ing to recommend it. And it had
no more resemblance to the former
than Herr Goebels has to Paul
Robson"

The turn of the year is the eco
nomic forecaster's heaven. With
in the last fortnight every bust
ness publication and economist OF
consequence has devoted great
effort to anticipating the future.
Guesses as to details of the bust
ness picture naturally vary con-
siderably-hut, generally speak
ing, there is very little disagree
ment among the experts over the
picture as whole. With hardly
a dissenting voice, they forecast
boldly that 1899 will be a year of
progress.
Two forecasts are of unusual
interest; Paul Mallon reports
that 'Mr. Roosevelt's battalions
of figurers are unanimous for
probably the first time in New
Deal history. Government eco
nomists now all expect a mild
slackening of industrial activity
in the next three months, a sort
of readjustment period, they call
it, to be followed by a a spring
rise, afstrong summer, and much
stronger fall-winter year end.
To put it more precisely, these
economists think, according to
MIR. Mallon, that industrial pro-
duction( which is at los on the
charts at this writing) will grad
ually taper off, reaching a low of
81 in March, and that the upturn
will set in then, and bring it to
the 120 level in the late fall.
Similar, and more particulariz-
ed views, are held by Roger Bah
son. In a long optimistic article
predicting conditions in 1889, he
observes, Total business by the
end Of 1889 will be as good as
perhaps even better than-at any
| year END since 1929. Jobs, wag-
es, retail sales, stocks and even
farm prices should chalk up good
sized gains. There are nc
hedges tackled on to my forecast
as there were in several times
past. :. Today / can see no rea-
son why the tides of recovery
should not carry us vigorously
forward-perhaps even to new
highs since 1922.
| Mr.. Babson then lists a mum.
Der of what he regards as strong
ly favorable factors. These in.

ment spending; low inventories

set-up are Frightening. 1t is be-
