New York, March American
citizens must "cease being indiffer-

Crowd Braves
Wintry Blasts
to Hear Jones

After an absence of fifteen years,
the Rev. H. L. P. Jones, pastor of
st. James A. M. E. Church in St.
Paul 1920 to 1924, drew a large
crowd to revival services at st.
Peter A. M. E. Church, Tuesday,
in spite of heavy snow and sharply
dropping temperature.
The revival will continue until
March rs and the Rev. Mr.. Jones
will also preach at the services on
Sunday, March 10. He is remem-
bered in the Twin Cities for a most
successful revival during his pas
torate in st. Paul.
Rarely do these Minnesota cities
have an opportunity to hear a man
of the calibre of the Rev. Mr..
Jones, those who heard him agreed.
Located at present in Indiana, he
has pastored some of the largest
churches of his connection in Chi
cago, Gary, Ind, and Nashville,
Tenn.

Job Guidance
Meeting Sunday
At Halle House
PANEL DISCUSSION TO BE
HELD

A practical demonstration of
how unusual jobs can be gotten and
held will be given Sunday in a
panel discussion sponsored by the
Education committee of the st.
Paul Urban League at the Halle
@. Brown Community House.
The program will begin at 4:30
p. m. and will include: Clarence w.
Wigington, chief designing archi-
tect of the City of st. Paul; James
Hughes of the Quality Park En-
velope Company, Mrs. Ethel Will
iams, stenographer, and Theodore
Allen, supervisor of colored en-
ployees at the Athletic Club in
Minneapolis.
Opening the Vocational Oppor-
tunity Campaign of the league, this
program is designed to show how
job opportunities ordinarily thought
of as closed to Negroes can be OBJ
tanned even in st. Paul.
Why Some Fail
Mrs. Josie Williams, one of the
members of the committee, pointed
out that sometimes people fail to
develop successful careers because
they do not realize that oppor-
tunities exist for those who plan
their life's work and are deter
mined to find employment.
So many times, she said, young
people move from grade school to
high school and. on to college with
out considering what they are best
fitted to study for or what subjects
will be of practical value.
Through the panel discussion the
committee hopes to point out that
it is not always necessary to leave
st. Paul in order to get good job
and that some of those which are
ordinarily thought of as being open
to Negroes can be made more de-
sirable through training.
At the close of the discussion by
the panel, questions from the floor
will be permitted.

company, according to Mr.. Fassett.
Meanwhile, insurance companies
were reported to be lining up to
fight the proposed law to eliminate
this kind of discrimination in Min
nesota. One representative of a
company stated that he thought
the bill was unconstitutional.
Although insurance interests in
dictated that they would fight the
proposed measure, Senator B.-G.
Novak of st. Paul expressed the
opinion that it has a good chance
for passage.
Another bill which will make
liability insurance compulsory in
Minnesota has been introduced.
This proposal is reported to have
the tentative approval of insurance
interests. .
At their regular monthly meet
ing in Fellowship Hall Tuesday,
members of the Minneapolis Bust
ness and Professional Association
agreed to write individual letters
to members of the legislature sup
porting the bill to end insurance
discrimination.

Almost Makes

Contract II Pays In


Contract Pays In
Advance
What advertising men dream
about but seldom have happen to
them occurred this week, when
James Williams, proprietor of the
popular night spot at st. Anthony
Avenue and Kent Street in st.
Paul, took out six month contract
in advance.
A year-round supporter of the
st. Paul Recorder and Minneapo-
lis Spokesman, Mr.. Williams was
called at expiration of twenty
week contract and asked whether
he would renew it for two months.
''Nope," replied Mr.. Williams, "I
don't do things that way" Before
anything could be said on the other
end of the line he followed up with
"-but I will take out a contract
for six months, send somebody
over" Needless to say "some-
body" went over and collected the
cash.

some years ago the organization
opposed the appearance of Roland
Hayes, tenor, at the same hall. At
that time it was also admitted that
he would not be permitted to sing
because of his race.
The Minnesota group asserted
that had Miss Anderson been per-
mitted to sing it would have had
to face a loss of revenue from the
hall. No explanation of how this
loss would be brought about was
offered.

one time during the present con-

other organization.

Fearing that the victim would

Stevens Postal
Carrier Gets A
Light Sentence

Shedding tears as ne was led
away to a cell, J. F. Stevens, Min
neapois postal carrier, began a six
month term in the Hennepin Coun-
ty Jail this week, after conviction
on a charge of removing nine dol
lars from the mails.
A postal employee for twenty
five years, Stevens was sentenced
by Federal Judge Matthew Joyce.
Court workers called the penalty a
light one since the usual term for
such offenses ranges from one to
ten years. ..
Pleads Guilty r.
Stevens entered a plea Of guilty
on the advice of his attorney, A. R.
Skinner, of Minneapolis. Possibil-
ity of probation instead of having
to serve his sentence was lost for
the accused when he admitted to
postal authorities that he had TAX
en- approximately 1892 from the
mails over period of years.
Admitted Other Thefts
Technically, Stevens was charged
with the theft of nine dollars be-
cause that was all which it could
be proved that he had taken.
Against the advice of counsel, how
ever, he had a conference with Off
Gals in the postoffice and admitted
other thefts when he thought such
admissions would make the penalty
lighter, according to reports.
