F.D.R. Challenged
By Hamilton Fish
On Anti-lynch Bill
Exciting Colloquy With Con-
gresham Mitchell of Illinois
Regarding Negro Employ
ment Under New Deal.
BY Emmett j. Scott

Washington, D. C. = Congress
man Hamilton Fish of New Yark,
in recent running colloquy with
Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell
of Illinois, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, challenged President
Roosevelt to declare his stand on
the Anti-lynching Bill now pend
ing in the Senate.
The challenge came when Mr..
Mitchell, only colored democrat in
congress, was eulogizing the New
Deal and Mr.. Roosevelt. The New
York Congressman inquired of Mr..
Mitchell where the President
stands on the Anti-Lynching Bill.
Mr.. Mitchell could not enlighten
him.
1--WE know" said Mr.. Fish,
where the President Of the United
States stands on all racial and re-
ligious questions in foreign lands,
but we should like to know where
he stands on enacting an Anti
Lynching Bill at the present time
in the United States of America.
He has been strangely silent about
that, a matter which vitality af-
fects the security of some 13,000,-
600 Colored people in America.

Race Segregated
At Ellington Show

Duke Ellington and Jim Grow
will open a floor engagement at
Show Box, First and Pike Sts.,
next Monday. In so doing, the
Duke will share honors with
Jim Grow.
A special representative of
the Northwest Enterprise inter-
viewed the management as to
what would be done for the re-
ception of Race patrons desiring
to see the Duke. The owner, Mr..
Lyons, stated that he had left
the matter in the hands of his
manager. The manager said,
1--WE are thinking of having a
night for colored only, or a Sec
ton set aside for them" This
was the only information which
the representative was able to
elicit from the manager or the
owner.
Our conclusion is that Mr..
Jim Grow will be the maestro
for the evening.

Randolph, Lewis
Will Open Negro
Congress Farley

WASHINGTON (CNA) = Ma
tional Negro Congress leaders an
nounced this week that A. Philip
Randolph, Congress president, and
John L. Lewis, president of the
Congress for Industrial Organiza-
tons, will be the principal speak
ers at the opening session of the
Third National Negro Congress to
be held in the United States De-
partment of Labor Auditorium
here Friday, April 26.
Recent statements by Lewis at
the Convention of the United Mine
Workers of America, of which he
is also president, at Columbus, o.,
indicated clearly that the labor
leader was keenly aware of the
special problems of the Negro peo-
pie. His speech at the American
Youth Congress, in which he LASH
ed out vigorously against the in
action of the United States De-
partment of Justice in the matter
Of poll taxes, has also served to
bring him to the fore as a cham
pion of three million disfranchised
Negro citizens in the South.
Immediate response among local
leaders here to the Congress an
nouncement that Lewis would
speak was that his utterances be-
fore this representative gathering
of leaders of Negro organizations
promises to mark a new epoch in
the relations between the Negro
people and labor.

White House Bar
Evades Farley

WASHINGTON, D. c. (CNA)-
Somebody should tell Postmaster
General James A. Farley how race
hatred in this country already
bars to the Negro not only the
path to the presidency, but repre-
sentation on the Supreme Court
and other federal, as well as State,
bodies. Or perhaps the Postmas-
ter General had certain mental re-
servations when he declared here
this week that the ideals of the
Republic must not be permitted to
sink to point where race, color
or creed would be a bar to the
Presidency"
Farley's assertion, made in an
address before the Friendly Sons
of st. Patrick, was construed as
his reply to any Democrats who
may oppose his candidacy for the
presidential nomination because
he is a Catholic.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
very fully and very cordially
appreciate the very kind feeling
expressed for me by Brother Co
ley, and which you have accepted
and received in so sympathetic a
manner. While I assure you that
I am in no sense worthy of spe-
cial attention, it is nevertheless ex-
tremely gratifying to be the recip-
lent of such wholesome considera-
ton. Your kindness is a solace to
me that I can not express, being
of a nature far better felt than re-
vealed.
A few days ago Brother Coley
brought to my attention the ap-
parent reluctance of Negro men,
bers of our union, to take an active
interest in the policy making phas-
es of the unions affairs. He point
ed out that we are just as free to
do so as any one else, and suggest
ed that I appear before you in the
hope that I might stimulate more
interest on the part of minority
group members.
He further suggested that I ex-
press my opinion of the treatment
accorded Negro members of the
Building Service Union, that I tel
you of some part of the progress
being made by the Negro race, ant
of the ideals, the hopes and ambi'
ton of the Negro people of the
United States. Since such sub
ject is rather large in scope fol
adequate treatment in the time al
lotted me, shall narrow the sub
ject until a smaller division OF
thought Is indicated.

In the evolution of human events

Refugees of Ku Klux Khan Terrorism
Tell Horrors of Southern Feudalism

WASHINGTON, Special to
CNA)-Refugees from Ku Klux
Khan terror and peonage farms in
Georgia and South Carolina told
an audience of 500 an amazing
story of the horrors of modern feu-
dalism at a meeting in Lincoln
Temple Congregational Church
here. Rep. Vito Marcantonio (ALP,
N. ", president of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense presided,
John Davis, secretary of the Ma
tionay Negro Congress introduced
the refugees. The meeting was
held under the joint auspices of
the LID, National Negro Congress
and the National Council to Aid
Agricultural Workers.
Col. William Henry Huff, Chi
cago attorney for the refugees
from the Cunningham Plantation
of Oglethorye, County Georgia
described their flight from this
modern Simon Legree, who fol-
lowed them to Chicago and is
trying to drag them back to Geor-
gia as did his predecessors in the
days of the fugitive slave law.
Col. Huff told how he took the
cases to the FBI, "but they went
to Sleep"
Hits G-Men
He read a letter from ]. Edgar
Hoover in which the cases are de-
clared "closed" as far as the G.
men are concerned.
The next speaker, refugee from
Cunningham's slave farm, related
his own narrowing experience with
the peonage system. After signing
a contract for IL month, he was
finally paid $22 for % years work.
When he attempted to escape, he
was tracked down like a dog by
Cunningham's stool-pigeons, and
served year on the chain gang.
