Rev. T. M. Davis

we have labored here with you for
seven and one-half years, some of
the worst years of the depression.
Still we have enjoyed our work
with you, and we feel that we have
made our contribution to the
Christian life of Seattle, and to that
of the State generally, and to Mt.
Zion particularly. And yet, as
you know, our pathway has not
been strewn with flowers all the
way; however, we thank God, that
through it all, we have been kept
by Divine Grace, and have not
brought any moral or financial dis
grace upon your good name. I
want to thank those who have CO.
operated with me in my efforts to
build up Zion.
And to those who have come into
the church under our administra-
ton, as well as to all the rest of
the members, I trust you will be
loyal to the next man the church
calls as pastor, and will work with
him unitedly that your church may
flourish and go forward. And now
with malice toward none, but with
love for you all, hereby tender to
you my resignation as pastor. Now
I realize that I should give you
three months notice, but I am ask
ing that my resignation will be-
come effective in sixty days, as
would like to be settled by the first
of December.
I am yours in His name,
T. M. Davis

Der and steam filters, the radiator
1t forms the pet abomination OF
all interior decorations and the
riddle most difficult of solution
to the despairing householder. The
question is, how to conceal it at
tractively and thoroughly yet not
to impair its usefulness, for the
comfort it brings more than justi-
fys it's existence.
There is no one immune to the
charm of the window seat. 1t
exerts a spell over the most ener-
getic of mortals, call to comfort
and lazy introspection. When it
is impossible to place and conceal
radiators beneath windows of the
living room or library, another
good place fol. installation is in
the lower part of built-in book
cases. When this method is en-
ployed, the. radiator must have a
metal hood or reflector at the
back, sides and top and the cup
board must be lined with asbestos
air cell insulation to protect the
adjacent woodwork sufficiently.

Fred and Mary Chose are not the
right names but they're the only
ones we know how to spelr. Her
mother bitterly opposed the mar

Fred had been running around
ever since the little one came 4
years ago. He spent most of his
nights sitting up with sick friends
Mary had never met. Then one of
those good neighbors decided that
since Mary was old enough to know
there amt no Santa Claus" she
should be hepped to a few choice
morsels of community gossip. So
the charitable neighbor told the
neglected wife how her husband
had been consorting with another
woman. So Mary had talk with
Fred. you thought she would just
walk OUT At first he denied the
accusations then he broke down
and told her he really loved this
party of the third part. Mary de-
cided that second fiddle was an un-
popular instrument and she would

a liberal exchange of black eyes

Mary was there too. Neither has

they happened to kneel by the child

paid little attention to her par

Lifting the Color Ban
BY A. Philip Randolph

The color bar In the American
Labor Movement Is slowly but
surely being lifted. Graduating
race and color prejudice is a hard
and difficult job, Graduating any
kind of prejudice is not easy Peo-
pie are slow to give up their pre-
JUDGES, because prejudices are not
founded upon reason. They are
based upon feelings and feelings
are difficult to control. Therefore.
the labor movement is faced with
trying problem of breaking down
the barriers of color and race in
the various trade unions. But the
American Federation of Labor,
under the leadership of President
William Green. is making an earn
est attempt to do so.
Statements have been sent out
by President Green to all the ma
tional and international unions,
state declarations and city central
bodies to discuss problems of race
discrimination that arise In their
bodies with view to eliminating
said discrimination. or course, all
of the unions are not expected to
become pro-Negro workers over
night, The work of breaking down
race prejudice in the unions. will
take time. but Negro workers must
never let up In their fight for
equality and justice in the trade
union movement, If they fight hard
enough and long enough they are
certain to win, for fundamentally
the trade union movement Is sound
at heart on the question of the
Brotherhood of man. The labor
movement may veer from the
course of working-class solidarity
at times, but 1t is bound to return.
The action of President Green in
sending out the communication on
discrimination in trade unions, Is
the result of the adoption of a re-
solution introduced by Brother
Webster and the writer, in the
Houston, Texas, convention of the
A. F. of L.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Mr.. Robinson:
Just few lines to let you hear
from me. I am feeling very well
at this time, and I do hope that
you and yours are enjoying the
best of health.
Since we left Yakima we have
covered seven states, and have en-
joyed nice weather so far.
In the states that we have gone
through l have found the colored
people more or less divided on the
new deal, and it is interesting to
note that the colored man who
wants to do something for himself
is coming to realize more that the
New Deal has not helped him to
make progress as we should.
We are leaving here tomorrow
for Detroit, and I think that we
will be there about October 6, and
then we hope to go on East.
Respectfully yours,
Edw. Porter

they are with no pretending. When
I look at the records l find that
in spite of its many faults and
handicaps, youth marches upward
to better and finer life.
The most tragic mistake made
by the fathers and mothers of pre-
sent day youth was the voting of
the country dry, a move which will
have its effect on the youth for
many years to come. The lure of
profit changed many church-going
families to liquor dealers, dining
rooms and cellars became the ma
TONS saloons, easy money was the
theme. 1t was during this period
that youth had It's first taste of
poison liquor and easy money, a
life of ease and luxury. provided
by parents whose children would
actually brag about their boot
Logging activities and dealings with
the law. To correct this mighty
error, liquor was voted back again,
and today youth is flocking to the
bars built by the mistakes of its
elders.
Fortunately, through more IL
beral understanding between youth
and its elders, todays generation is
learning to sin moderately. II Is
the contact between youth and
such men as Rev. Hughes that will
bring results In the efforts to keep
high the spirits Of youth. Indeed,
we shall miss Rev. Hughes. His
church auxiliaries have wished for
the best in his new field. The
writer joins with others who hope
that he will be replaced by an
other Man of the People" who
never condemns, but marches hand
in hand with the Youth of Today
