HAMILIUN FISH UF NEW
YORK TO DECLARE HIS STAND ON ANTI
LYNCHING Bill
FROM REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE PUBLICITY
DIVISION, 71s jackson Place, N. W. Washington, D. C.

IFS - - oNia0NNs
The challenge came when Mr..
Mitchell, only colored democrat in
Congress, was eulogzing 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.
I'VE know" said Mr.. Fish,
where the President of the
United States stands on all racial
and religious 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 affects the security of
some 100000 900 Colored people
in America.
Zone word from the White
House," he said, land that Bill
would come flying through the
Senate and be enacted into law.
Day after day we hear about
President Roosevelt's' views af-
feeting foreign lands, but when it
comes to making democracy safe
in America and safe for 13.O0O.-
900 Colored people, he is strange
ly silent. The White House con-
tinues to be as silent as a tomb
when the Colored people ask for
an endorsement of the Gavagan
Fish Anti-Lynching Bill"
With reference to Mr.. Mitchell's
statistics regarding employment
Of Negroes under the New Deal,
the New York Congressman ask
ed II it is not true that q far
larger number of Colored persons
remain unemployed, after seven
years of the New Deal, in ropor
ton to population than any other
group in America; and if it is
not true that the Colored people
have suffered more under the
New Deal because of unemploy-
ment than any other single group.
Again Mr.. Mitchell was unable
to enlighten him.
II am convinced" Mr.. Fish
said, that there have been more
unemployed Negroes during the
past seven years than ever before
IN our history"
Entering the colloquy, Con-
gresham John C. Schafer of Wis
%consin, also propounded a ques-
ton or two. He pointed out that
Mr.. Mitchell has "boasted about
the virtues of the New Deal as
they affect the people of the Col
ored race in America"
Il wanted to ask him." he con-
tinued, whether he realizes that
below the Mason and Dixon Line.
which is in complete control of
the New Deal, they drive the Col
ored people away from the polls
and will not even let them vote?
They also make our Colored citi-
zens ride in Jim Grow cars" etc.
Mr.. Fish resumed with a few
more question, inquiring as to
how many colored men in Ameri-
ca have been appointed to high
offices under the New Deal,
whether any colored men have
been appointed to important of
fices in States North of the Ma
son and Dixon Line. "Under Re-
publican administrations" he said
"the Colored people did receive
important appointments in Wash
ington and in the South as well
as in the North"
Further, the New York Con-
gresham wanted M r. Mitchell
along with his praise of the New
Deal, and what it is doing for the
Colored people, to put in the Con-
gressional Record the number of

Halle $4,000
Drive Workers
Met Tuesday

Campaign Workers in the Halle
@. Brown Building Fund drive got
instructions and planned campaign
organization at meeting at Halle
@. Brown House Tuesday night,
January 2.
John Myers, Chairman City Wide
Campaign, and Edwin Salters, Di-
vision Director, met with the Cam
paign Organization for the first
time.
With the large attendance of
campaign workers and the enthusi-
asm of the group the campaign has
bright prospects of great success.
In Mr.. Salters remarks to the
workers he emphasized the i'm
portance of individual contribu-
tions. Mr.. Salters stated that club
and group contributions will be
gladly accepted but this would in
no way interfere with personal con-
tributions from members of the
groups. He also said that every
single person must know about the
greater Halle Q. Brown Building
program and campaign. Mr.. Sal
tiers urged the workers to not only
go out for the goal but try to go
beyond it.
John Myers was introduced to
his corps of local Community
Workers and according to his own
statement he was thrilled to know
that the members of this COM
munity are attempting to do this
job themselves first" He felt that
in getting larger campaign con-
tributions from friends in other
communities the strongest appeal
is the fact that the Negro Com
munity has done something about
it itself first.
Several times he emphasized the
fact that campaign workers had
no apologies to make by asking for
subscriptions for Halle @. Brown
House because they are simply do
ing the job for those who can not
or will not get out and do it, conse-
quently the public must be CRATE
full to the workers for raising the
money for the Center that will and
can eventually take care of the So
cial and recreational needs of the
