HARLEM
SKETCHES
nv an THOMPSON

NEW YORK (ANP)-STROLL-
ING THRU HARLEM: The Herb
Spice store on Eighth Avenue be-
tween 18th and 1873 Streets,
redolent of the pungent ordors OF
the Orient. Owned by an East IN
dian, who looks like a colored man
(American). it brings to ones nos
trils all the pungent scents and
smells of the East. One can get al
most any SPICE in the world here.
Even the churches in Harlem must
perforce use ballThoo methods to
inveigle the congregations into
their doors some time. Passing
along 136th Street recently I saw
an old minister, standing on the
stoop Of his church, loudly if
cacophonously, singing :1yniIi
What he lacked i'll tune and time
he made up in fervor and noise.
Finishing his song he exhorted all
and sundry to come unto the Lord
and cease their sinful way of liv-
ing.
Indicative of the huge and stag
gering sums paid by Harlenites
each year for rent are the many
magnificent real estate offices
which are found in some of the
strangest spots.
I used to wonder why the white
man was able to make so much
money off Harlemites, but since 7

brities, then selling them for IS
cents collecting on the spoD,

other industries and is causing
trucking firms to lose thousands OF

The CLOS suit against the A. F.

leading contractors here, charging
that a conspiracy in restraint of
trade was agreed on when CIO
truck drivers, most of whom are
Negroes, were boycotteG," was
dismissed by Federal Judge Por~
terie last week. CIO officials said
that the drivers (members of CIO
union) were fulfilling their con-
tracts in delivering material to
building projects where, it is
charged, the materials were refus-
ed by AFL men.
In the past United Transport
workers (CIO uffiliate) have been
attacked while making deliveries,
and in at least one instance fire
arms were used. The trouble start

rights by the CIO union of team

L. building tradesmen refused to

A more. definite indication that
the Democrats were not concerned
about the Negro vote was realized
when Gov. Long replaced 81 Negro
employees at the state capitol with
