SEVEN COLORED MEN IN
DEPARTMENT. OLE LABOR


1t is worthy of note that the United
State Department of Labor, in the au-
ditorium of which the Third National
Race Congress will take place on April
1928, has at least seven colored per-
sons holding responsible official posi-
lions. DR.. Walter H. Maddox, who is
stationed in Birmingham, Alabama, is
a senior medical officer; Sidney A,
Jones, Jr., is an assistant attorney at
Chicago, while Charles M. Hanson is
an inspector in the Wages and Hours
Division in New York. In Washing
ton Miss Vinita V. Lewis is assistant
economic analyst in the Children's Blu
reau; LaCountess w. Brown is field
survey assistant in the Women's Blu
reau, where George w. Crockett, Jrg
is an assistant attorney.
FRIDAY, A LIBERAL MAGAZINE
A new weekly which should receive
all possible support from colored peo-
pie, because of its liberal and fair pol
icy in recording news about them, is
FRIDAY, which is published at ia
East 32nd St., New York City. 1t APP
pears here every Tuesday. The second
issue won my suffrage because there
was series of candid photographs OF
our foremost novelist, Richard Wright
author of NATIVE SON which has
been praised by some of the most dis
corning critics in America. The issue
of April II contains a full account OF
colored baseball stars, quoting tri-
butes to their qualifications by such
heroes of the diamond as Joe Di-Maag-
gio and making an eloquent plea tof
their admission to the Big Leagues,
from which they are now excluded by
a most reprehensible and detestaDle
racial prejudice on the part OF the
magnates, certainly not on the part OF
fans or fellow-players of the Whle
race. 1t is confidently expected IN
many quarters that colored players
will soon win their just cause, OWING
to the volume and intensity of protest
by liberal sports writers against the
Dies-like un-Americanism which seq
regates their playing of Americas
most popular game.

cred Caps Origin

According to F. j. Haskin, direc-
tor Boston Traveller information
Bureau, the origin of the appelation,
red cap, as it applies to railroad sta
ton porters is explained as follows:
The use of the term dates from Labor
Day, 1890, when John Williams, a col
ored porter in the New York Central
Station, tied piece of red flannel on
his cap so that his patrons could iden-
tify him in the crowd.

WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER

should cherish, for (by one of those
curious coincidences) it is the ami
versary of both the birth and the
death of the late great William Mon
roe Trotter, first editor of the
GUARDIAN and founder of the EQUAL
Rights League. Mr.. Trotter put all
his gifts, which were considerable. at
the disposal of colored people; his
scholarship while in Harvard College
earned for him an ALB. degree, magma
cum laude, and membership in Phi
Beta Kappa. | think he was the first
colored alumnus to attain the latter
honor. From 1901 until his lamentable
passing in 1884 he was vigorous
force IN Afro-American journalism as
well as a formidable champion of
equal rights for colored people. He
was man enough always to stand by
his guns, never Opportunistically MAX
ing his peace with the damnable evil
OF segregation. Even his adversaries
respected him for his unf1agging zeal,
for his remarkable consistency, for his
essential probity and honesty. At the
annual Harvard Alumni luncheons
which attended during his lifetime,
| observed the Difference accorded him
by those of our fellow alumni who
knew him and what he represented in
American life. His anniversary al
ways serves to remind one of our
great loss when he died; perhaps no
leader .grasped the problems affecting
colored people on a national scale with
such clarity as Mr.. Trotter possessed.

MARK TOOTH ANNIVERSARY OF
LIBERIA

To commemorate the Tooth anniver-
sary of the founding of the Liberian
Commonwealth in 1889, the Govern
ment of Liberia will issue two stamps.
The republic owes its origin to the cir
cumstance that many abolitionists
thought that the solution of the prob
lem of chattel slavery would be found
if Africa were colonized by freed
American slaves. A one time even
Abraham Lincoln adhered to that fall
lacious belief, which Marcus Garvey
tried demagogically to exploit long
after chattel slavery had been Destroy
ed by the victory of the Union in the
Civil War.

Much Z0nOlite News

This office is in receipt of THE
Zonolite News, a publication issued
February by the Universal Zono-
lite Insulation Company in the in
terest of manufacturers and dis
tributors of vermiculte insulation.
The sheet tells of 5000 bags Of
Zonohte being used to insulate the
Field building, A story structure,
in Chicago.
In part, the article says, "All the
Zonolite in this job was installed
from the inside of the building.
Workmen had to enter elaborate
offices to make installations but the
Zonolite was SO clean and easy to
handle that no dust or untidiness
resulted"
Another story tells of four of the
largest army flying fields insulating
their new buildings with the fine
material. They are Wright Field,
Ohio; McChord Field, Washington;
Chanute Field, Illinois, and Kelly
Field, Texas. when the present
program is completed total roof
area of about 325.000 square feet
Will have been insulated and rep
resents a volume of about $4,000
cubic feet Of Zonolite aggregate
Interesting articles on the use of
this fine insulator in the tropics
were given much space.

HAVRE-Interest in Montana
1910 political picture was quickened
perceptibly this week as Arthur F.
Lamey, prominent Havre attorney
and well-known state political fig
ure, announced he would be can
didate for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor. Lamey thus be-
comes the first Democrat to enter
the field.
A native Montanan and lifelong
resident, Lamey is AZ years old, hav-
ing been born the son of a Great
Northern Railroad company section
hand in a section house at Big
Sandy. He is married and has three
children.
The Hill county man has an ex-
tensive record in public affairs of
a civic, fraternal and political ma
ture. Actively interested in the
Havre Chamber of Commerce, he
has been a leader in the advance
ment and extension of irrigation
projects in North Montana and be-
cause of his early ranch back ground
in the Bears Paw mountains he has
followed the welfare of the live
stock and farming industries loosely.
| He is a past president of the Havre
Rotary Club and also a past COVER
nor of the Montana district of Ro-
tary. A member of the Montana
Bar since 1914, Lamey is an i'm
mediate past president of the state
bar association In 1887 he was
chairman of the committee which
drafted Montana's social security,
unemployment and public welfare
statutes, adopted by the legislative
session, of that year.
Fraternally Lamey is an Elk, a
member of the Knights of Column
bus and the American Legion, hav-
I ing served as department command
er of the Legion and three years as
member of the national American
ization committee. In addition to
the active practice of law in Havre.
Lamey organized the Havre Build
ing & Loan Association and has
been its president since 1929. He is
also vice president and a member
of the board of directors of the Mon
tana National Bank in Havre.
Lamey's American Legion con-
nection comes as the result of serv-
ice at home and in France with the
United States Marine Corps. En-
listing as private in 1917 he was
later selected for the Marine Of
ficers' Training School at Guam
tico, Va, and emerged as a first
lieutenant, serving in France as an
intelligence officer until the end Of
the war.
Lamey's education was acquired
in the rural schools of the Bears
Paw mountains, the Havre public
schools, and the University of Mich
igan law school. He served two
terms as public administrator of Hill
county and two terms as county at
torney He has been a member Of
the state democratic central COM
mittee from Hill county and at pres
ent is chairman of the state or
ganization.

past with his staff. Two lives have
spanned the history-yet in that
period our population has grown
from ga to 1870 millions, progressed
from the oxcart to the airplane,
and from the spoken word to the
radio. Yet when today we read his
Farewell Address, we find the
course indicated to be the one best
designed to keep this nation in
peace and security.
We stand awed at the strength he
showed in founding he country and
still further aWed at his prophetic
vision. Yet it is simple as we read
his own words in personal letter
