Sentiments Nets
Aged Man Sl,5OO

Ignoring the S725 valuation set
by Seattle Real Estate Board ap-
praisers, the public safety commit
tee of the city council this week
agreed to pay James w. Abel, aged
Negro, 81, 500 for his lot at 1922 21st
Ave. S. A deal of sentiment was
involved.
Abel's property is being acquir-
ed by the city for garbage fill. He
has occupied small dwelling there
and told the council he had grown
attached to shrubs and now-tall
trees which he had planted there
years ago. He also protested that
because of his race it was not easy
to. find a new location to which to
move his home.

LIFT THE LABEL

The elections of 1888 have in great forecast
the outcome of the presidential election in 1910 No
foresaw the extent of that political revolution Democrats
themselves tired of being rubber stamps openly revoed to
America by giving their ideas of legislation
Autocracy in Europe in Japan in Brazil and in Mexico,
is slowly vending its way to shores. It is only step.
The DOLE the lending spending program will surely and
effectively deprive and children of freedom of
thought and action and the opportunity to build their
and security And these arrogant and stupid relief
officials compelling all persons relief to remain there
They refuse permit them to extra dollar upon
pain removal from the rolls thereby setting themselves
as little dictators in their realm.
In the coming presidential election Negroes will
doubtedy hold the balance of power Yet they will
little voice in saying who the candidates will be. They will
much say which candidate will be the next presi-
dent.
No Negro should cast vote in 1910 without lifting the
label and looking at the caber of the for whom they
vote.

YWCA Farley Backs
Anti-Lynch Drive

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April
(CNA)-Full support of efforts to
secure federal and state legislation
against lynching was voted this
week at the 10th national conven-
ton of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association meeting in this
city.
In an amendment to its Public
Affairs program, the delegates
pledged the YWCA as IAN inter-
racial organization to support eff
forts to secure federal and state
legislation against lynching and
other forms of mob violence and
work for equal law enforcement
for all groups in the population"
Backing of the anti-lynch drive
followed a lively panel discussion
devoted to the rights of Negroes,
the foreign born and Indians.
Speakers sharply assailed assaults
on these groups and urged the
inclusion of Mexicans and Orient
ais in the list of minority peoples
whose civil rights should be de-
Tended.
In a special resolution the con-
vention expressed opposition to the
poll tax law, urged passage of the
Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in
Congress and called for a social
program which will improve health
and housing and working condi-
tions

Peonage Rampant
In Georgia Says
White Minister

CHICAGO, (CNA)-Peonage is
rampant throughout Georgia and
must be smashed, a young white
Baptist minister and native Geor-
gian, Rev. Donald L. West, wrote
the Abolish Peonage Committee of
the International Labor Defense
this week.
Rev. West is educational director
of the Christian Fellowship Parish
near Bethel, Ohio. He has writ
ten for many magazines, and has
published two books of verse. On
his own initiative, he took a trip
to his native state to investigate
charges of holding people in debt
slavery contrary to Federal Law
made by the Committee against w.
T. Cunningham and other white
Oglethorpe County, Ga. landown-
ers.
ST came to Georgia last week to
look into reports I'd read about
peonage and brutality imposed up
on Negro and poor white tenants, y
Rev. West wrote the committee
from Lexington, county seat of
Oglethorpe County. Being a ma
tive white Georgian and an active
minister of the Gospel of Christ,
these stories had shamed me be-
yond endurance.
Rev. West told of interviewing
Negro tenants throughout the
state who told him in whispers of
cruelties inflicted by landowners.

Labor Fights To
Save Wagner Act

WASHINGTON, (CNA)-Labor
is conducting one of the biggest
demonstrations on Capitol Hill
since the days of the Bonus Ar
my.
Staged in opposition to the tory
drive to destroy the National La
Dor Relations Act with Gripping
amendments, the demonstration is
regarded as the most powerful Ia
Dor lobby ever organized.
At least 100000 workers, Ne
gro and white, are Immediately
concerned in this bitter struggle
over the Labor Act. Eventually
the entire 12,6OO,O00 workers CO.
vered by the Act may be directly
or indirectly affected.
Labor delegations of As from
Maryland and of 35 from Indiana
took the spotlight this week in
demanding that their congressman
oppose both the Norton and the
Smith amendment to the Wagner
Act.
Practically overnight the cam
paign against the Wagner Act
amendments led by Labor's Nom
Partisan League and by the CLIO
has given congress feeling of
the political power of organized la
Dor and has substantially increas-
ed the chances of warding off at
tacks on labor and social legisla-
ton at this session of Congress.
Indicative of labor's strength
is the fact that three out of the
six Congressman from Maryland
have made a definite statement to
a union delegation from their state
that THEY would vote against all
pending amendments to the Wag-
ner Act.

Upset Homes Laid
To Father Divine

BOSTON (CNA) - Wrecked
homes and abandoned children
are casting shadows on the pearly
gates Of the kindom of Father Di-
vine, two white New York psychia-
trists reported this week. The re-
port followed by less than "a hours
the suicide in New York of Floyd
Schaefner, white WPA laborer
whose wife deserted him, with
their ten-year-old daughter, to go
ito live with God"
Disclosing a study of a group
of C hildren whose parents had
neglected" them to become IAN
gels" in the Divine kingdoms, Drs.
Lauretta Bender and M. A. Spald-
ing of New York's Bellevue Hos
pital, declared:
1.-THE teachings of the movement
include a denial of family ties and
responsibility towards the family -.
We observe that when an indiv-
idual accepts Father Divine's tea
chings, all the family relationships
of the home are broken, very often
the home ITSELF"
In the Journal of Nervous and
Mental Disease, the investigators
told of intellectual and emotional
confusion" among offspring of par
ents who "have diverted their emo
tons toward Father Divine" and
added:
1.-THE parents interested in Faith
er Divine not only neglect their
children emotionally, but also neg
lect their physical well-being."
A similar indictment was made
against the cult recently by Judge
Panken who denounced Father Di-
vines edict forbidding normal mar
ital relations on the part of his
followers. Panken accused Father
Divine of advocating race suicide
and of breaking up family life.
Schaefner committed suicide in
his three-room apartment at SGT
Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, leaving
an unaddressed note explaining
that his wife and daughter had
been converted" by Father Di-
vine and had gone to live with
God"

Dewey Speaks Out

NE WYORK CITY-During his
recent speaking tour in Nebraska
and Missouri, Thomas E. Dewey,
candidate for the Republican no.
mination for President, made at
least two definite statements sup
porting a Federal anti-lynching
measure. His position in this mat
ter was made clear in a letter to
the NAACP last year, but the two
statements in the West were even
more pointed.
During an interview in Omaha
when asked about lynching mea-
sures he declared:

do to have two Oh the Utilities Eoard

Now that reason for consolidation
has been removed. Mr.. Bagley him-
self believes that the period of great
est REA construction is over. and
that the task remaining is mostly
one Of filling Out the skeleton system
of rural lines already Quilt all over
the state. The REA board. however,
at its last meeting discussed con-
solidation al some length and its
mumbers expressed the opinion there
