Resolution Re: Protesting Ban on
Marian Anderson in Washington,
D. C. Sent to the President of the
Daughters of American Revolution
the President of school board in
Washington, D. c., and the Press.
February %, 1889
The Daughters of American
Revolution
Washington, D. C.
Dear Madam:
The following resolution was
passed unanimously, February 81,
1889, by the State Board of the
Minnesota Branch of the Women's
international League for Peace
and Freedom:
We have noted with profound
indignation press repots (UP)
dated February 20, 1889, that
Marian Anderson, world famous
Negro contralto, has been refused
on account of race, permission to
hold a concert in Constitution Hall
in Washington, D. c., by the local
Daughters of American Revolu-
ton, owners of the building, and in
the Central High School auditorium
by the local school board. If true,
we believe that such action, es-
pecially in our nations capital, re-
fleets on all of us and must bring
deep shame to all true American
citizens loyal to our early tradi-
tions of tolerance for all and free
dom from persecution on account
of race, religions, or political be-
lief. We join with millions of
others to protest this indignity to
an American citizen. regardless of

feeling will spread itself more
widely and fiercely over more and
more groups if it is allowed to go
on unchallenged.
Thank you for your personal
note. I am sure the Negro mem
bers of this state are deeply ap-
preciative of the stand taken by
the W. I. L.
Very sincerely,
1. MYRTLE GARDEN,
Director.

Ans: Not soon, but eventually l
believe. The children mean as
much to him as they do to you and
for their sake he will make up with
you. At the present time, / believe
he is showing a little interest in
another woman.
J. M. P: I have been losing
money for some time and want to
know who is taking it? lost a SOC
piece one time and I lost $4,000
about 95 days ago and 1 left $4.74
at home last year and when 1 came
back only had 1926. What about
it? -
Ans: Well brother, there was
only one person who. could pos
sibly have gotten your dough and
you know as well as I do who that
one person is. My advice is to put
a paddock on your britches pockets
when you go to bed.
M. E. A.: Please tell me what is
this / have in my stomach. Has
anybody did anything to me?'
Ans: No nam but you
should be X-RAYED. Your cOndi-
ton is not one that can be cured
by taking patent medicines" My
earnest advice is for you to consult
with a reputable physician and
have him x-ray this condition
M. C. c.: Do you think anybody
in this town likes me? / get so
lonesome and discouraged at times.
Seems like 1 have no friends and
the whole world is against me.
Ans: Oh, now =. it's really not
as bad as all that. You have many
kind hearted friends. Any one of
the following people think whole
lot more of you than you realize
Mrs. D.; o. H.; Mrs. F.; M. M
and Mrs. A.. w. You take such
things too much to heart. If you
are lonesome get out and do more
visiting" instead of waiting fol
your friends to call on you.

More than ever, 1 believe, it is
our responsibility to safeguard our
democracy against continuation
of this sort of thing; especially at
this time when there is so much
bitterness and hatred in the world
today.

N. Y. Building Service
Strike Wins PuY Boost

New York, N. Y. THE
four days strike of four thousand
elevator operators and maintenance
employees in hundreds of loft and office
buildings in the garment and fur area
of New York City was ended by the
adoption Of a plan proposed by Mayor
La Guardia for an immediate increase
in wages Of 81 week and reduction
in the length of the work week from
forty-eight to forty-seven hours, with
further reduction to forty-siX hours
at the end Of eighteen months, when
negotiations will be reopened on the
question of wages.
The strike was called by Local 32-B
of the Building Service Employees
Union, an affiliate of the American
Federation of Labor. James j. BAN
brick, president of the union, said the
walkout crippled 600 buildings.
The strike was directed against the
Midtown and Penn Zone Realty Own
ers Associations, whose officials had
refused to grant the demands of the
union for higher wages and shorter
hours following the expiration of a
! three-year agreement with the two as
sociationS.
Prior to the strike the wages OF
building service employees ranged from
$23 to $26.75 per week. The union
originally demanded wage increases of
from Is to 20 per cent and reduction
Of the work week from forty-eight tc
forty hours.
Competent observers estimated that
the walkout caused by the refusal OF
the two realty owners associations t.
come to the terms with the Building
Service Union prevented 100000 EN-
ployes from going to work. Manufac
turers estimated that subversive actor
of the realty owners caused a loss ot
business of $2O,0O0,CCO a day in tn,
area affected by the strike.
The settlement plan provided tina
all differences outside of wages ant
hours were to be adjusted by EdwarC
+. McGrady, former Assistant Secre
tary of Labor.
