Barley Denies Char OF Playing
Ball With G. O.P. To Smother
Anti-Lynch Bill

New York-Refuting a signed
story which appeared in the Chi
cago Defender, September IA, Sen
ator Alben Barley issued a state
ment denying that he had recently
told Negro delegation that the
Anti-lynching bill is a dead
horse" and has been removed as
an issue from the present cam
paign by mutual agreement of
both parties concerned"
The Senate Majority Leaders
statement was contained in let
ter to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie dated September 20. He wrote
in response to two N. A. A. c. p.
kilograms asking him to deny or
affirm the charge and to name
the representatives of the two par
ties who made the agreement, If
the charge was true.
Characerizing the story as a
"wilful Misrepresentation" the
senator said: 81 am amazed that
any newspaper should be guilty of
such an exegetical error. In the
first place, I have not been called
upon by any Negro delegation re-
Gently concerning the Anti-lynch-
ing bill and never made any such
statement as that contained in
your telegram to anybody at any
time.
at have never discussed the An
ti-lynching bill as political issue
with anybody at any time and no
agreement of any sort has either
been made or even discussed so
far as I know between the rep
resentatives of both political par
ties as to whether the Anti-lynch-
ing bill will or will not be an issue
in the political campaign.
In other words, the entire
statement as quoted in your tele-
gram without the slightest foun-
daion and I am amazed that any
publication that regards itself re-
sponsible would be guilty of such
wilful Misrepresentation"
Neither President Roosevelt nor
Wendell Willkie, both of whome
were asked to make a statement
on the charges against Barley,
has replied to the N. A. A. c. P.
kilograms, officials of the organ
izations said today.

Ma. A. C.P. Offers To Take Legal
Action Against War And Navy Dept.
Heads For Discrimination Policy

New York-Court action against
the secretaries of War and Navy
to compel the acceptance of all
who volunteer for service in other
of these branches of the country's
defense forces, regardless of race
or color, is promised by the Ma
tonal Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, ac-
cording to an announcement made
here today.
The announcement followed pas
sage of the following resolution
by a unanimous vote of the Asso-
cations board of directors at its
monthly meeting held here at SO
Fifth Avenue, September 9:
THAT the N. A. A. C. p. Legal
Defense Committee give aid to
any American citizen desiring to
enlist in the Army or Navy, who
is refused the privilege of enlisting
on account of race or color. to
the extent that it will institute
appropriate, affirmative legal ac-
ton against the Secretary of War
or the Secretary of Navy as the
case may be, to compel the Army
or Navy to accept such volunteer
into the armed or naval forces"
The resolution was passed fol-
lowing a report on an exchange
of correspondence between the
War and Navy departments in
which the Association asked that
there be no discrimination against
Negroes in the new defense pro-
gram, and that colored citizens
by integrated into the armed fore
es without segregation of race or
color.
Secretary of War Stemson made
the following statement TO the N.
A. A. c. P. in letter about the
matter:
1.-THE success of the National
Defense program can best be es-
tablished by united support of the
War Department plans, by those
who are not familiar either with
the principles involved or the re-
quirements of such plans.
In the augmentation of the Ar
my now under way, additional col
ored units have been authorized.
These include one Field Artillery
Regiment, two Coast Artillery An
ti-aircraft Battalions, one Engin-
GERS Regiment for general SER
vice, twelve Quartermaster Truck
Companies and one Chemical de-
company"

Citizens Picket Birth
OF A Nation And Win

New York-Despite the fact that
the manager of the Art Threat

to stop the 3-day showing of
revised version of the Negro-bait-
ing film, 1.-THE Birth of a Nation"
August 10, IL, II, a daily picket
line thrown around the theatre
by the Bronx branch of the N. A.
A. c. P. and cooperating organ
izations succeeded in reducing the
attendance at each performance to
little more than a score of persons.
This was the information con-
tanned in a report made to the
branch at it's first fall meeting

nue., by President Lewis Davidson.

the first time hurled the gage of
battle before his Democratic op-
ponent by analysing the contro-
versial issues of the campaign and
giving his stand on each one.
A concrete example of the abil-
ity of Langlie to step in and do a
real job of state government is
evidenced by the public record of
his administration in the city of
Seattle during the past two and
one-half years.
Few people remember Seattle as
it was in March, 1871 city
verging on BANKRUPTCY; its corrid-
ors reeking with the decay that
follows corrupt and inefficient
leadership; its public street car
system hopelessly Anticipated.
Today, instead of the turmoil
of doubt and confusion, Seattle's
city government ranks among the
best in the nation. It's finances
are on sound basis; it possesses
a new transit system; its admin
istration machinery has been
streamlined and promoted; public
power has been fostered. Today,
it looks to a future of growth and
prosperity, with the Northwest.

Huge Crowds Visit
New Wonder Store

The days to celebrate and
save opening of the Woolworth
New Wonder store, led all roads
and avenues to Bird and Pike street
Seattle's new show place.
Mr.. c. S. McLaren, Pacific Coast
Supervisor for Woolworth and Mr..
L. H. Stiffler, head of the local
unit, said today.
"Our opening equalled or sur
passed all our expectations. How
ever 1 wish to correct a popular
error: While we required an exper-
fenced sales force for our gala
opening, every individual employed
by the WoolwOrth Wonder store
for our opening is a resident of
Seattle and vicinity, with only one
exception. We are pleased to say
our entire force is manned by To-
cal help"

the November general election
Bert L. Swezea, Republican can
didate for county commissioner, is
not only deeply interested but he
is going to try to find the right
answer.
TN this country we have gov
eminent of the voting citizens"
says Mr.. Swezea. Anything is
possible if the people wish to make
it so. I think our stay-at-home
voters earnestly wish better gov
eminent and an administration of
county affairs where patriotism
outweighs machine politics. For
that reason my friends are under
taking to contact the registered
citizens who did not vote and to
spur their interest in the general
election, offering myself as one
outstanding reason why they
should vote. We will let everybody
in King County know what I
stand I for and we will ask them
to endorse my policies by support
ing me in November"

Democrats


With all due respect for both
the Democratic and Republican
parties there are fundamental diff
ferences between them which
make the one worthy and the other
unworthy of public trust. To prove
this assertion, I briefly draw from
past records a few truths which
when viewed in the light of pres
ent conditions, may well concern
us in contemplating our course in
the campaign of the present year.
The Harding, Coolidge and Hoo
yer administrations, with best
wishes to the rich and powerful
interests of the nation, did every
thing that big business thought
would lead to greater profits with
the result that agriculture was
parlyzed, involuntary idleness, in
dustrial confusion, and the wretch
edness of uncertainty arising from
loss of standards and balances
stalked the land.
The few measures devised and
applied by Republicans were of
small value to the nation as a
whole. The Refinance Corporation
was organized to make loans to
railroads, insurance companies and
banks, but nary single for a
poor mans house. Suddenly re-
Numbering that for years they
had kept one hand in the farmers
pocket and the other on his throat,
they conceived the idea that the
farmers plight was responsible for
tie condition into which the country
had fallen. This however, was a
very simple matter to remedy.
Laws were enacted under which
governmental agencies were set up
to assist the farmer in managing
his business and to furnish him
with the money and credits which
it was thought he needed. The
assistance of the farm bureau was
accepted, the money and credits
made available were readily made
use of, only to learn, when their
temporary benefits were exhaust
ed, that the agricultural situation
had not been permanently helped.
When the farmers became unable
to meet their loans the banks be-
gan to suffer, suspensions and fail
ures of banks followed and a gen.
eral uneasiness concerning the
economical stability of the country.
When the apprehensions became
general credits frightened, business
as a whole was touched, and away
we went from one extreme to an
other until at times we were led
to wonder if the word collapse"
was just another comparative
term.
Then came the high sounding re-
publican promises. Two cars in
every garage. Two chickens in ev-
cry pot. Until 1882 when the peo-
pie promptly and properly stopped
Hoover from chasing a mythical

BY VIM. j. Hyatt


presidential campaign is not New
Deal measures as many people
seem to think, but the vital and
herculean task of providing ade-
quate national defense to save
America from the fate suffered by
European and other nations at the
hands of Dictators.
In speaking of New Deal re-
forms, Mr.. Willkie made himself
quite clear at the beginning of his
crusade when he said: what is
the main source of the blight that
the New Deal has cast on the econ
omic progress of the country? 1t
is not the New Deal legislation,
in and of itself. 1 favor legisla-
ton for regulating interstate util-
tiles, securities markets, banks,
1 favor legislation for collective
bargaining, for minimum wages,
for maximum hours. Such New
Deal legislation is only the current
manifestation of a movement that
has been steadily on its way in
America ever since the beginning
of regulation of the railroads in
1887. The difference is that pre-
yious administrations, Republican
and Democratic, did their regulat-
ing in the spirit of belief in the
basic vitalities of the American
economic system, whereas this ad-
ministration is doing its regulating
in a spirit of disbelief, suspicion,
persecution and hatred" Thus the
issue is, and should be apparent
to everyone: CAN THE COUN-
TRY PREPARE TO SUCCESS
FULLY DEFEND ITSELF, AND
PRESERVE AMERICAN DEMO
CRACY, UNDER NEW DEAL
METHODS? NO.
For the efficient and maximum
production of materials for nation
al defense, there must be coopera-
ton and unity of action between
government, labor and industry.
This means that the adminisra-
ton must now be able to combine
all elements, including itself, into
common free purpose. 1t was
the getting together of these ele-
ments in the past that made this
country a great nation, and no
other system has been invented
that will do the trick.
Unfortunately, the New Deal has
not encouraged the spreading OF
this fraternal feeling among all
Americans. For the past seven
years it has been engaged in fight
ing business. 1t has contributed
to the division of labor into hos
tile groups. 1t has dispaired mil
lions of unfortunates into think
ing that the frontiers of oppor-
unity have vanished; that estab-
lished industries were at low ebb
with little to be expected by way
of inventions to revive them, and
that the plain man no longer had
much of chance. This is the false
and cowardly philosophy that has
been preached in the worlds rich
est country by New Deal politi-
clans. It was this same confusion,
conflict in thought, and loss of
faith in France that caused its
downfall. Under this same handi-
cap, we are asked to return the
new Deal to power at the most
critical period in American his
tory.

Decision Given on 0rdi. ndntes Regulating
 Pilkefing

WASHINGTON, April g, - The Supreme Court ruled today that the publicizing of facts of a la Dor dispute in peaceful war through appropriate means, wheth- CT by pamphlet, word of mouth oI \, banner may not be abridged by the state
 The opinion was delivered by Justice Frank Murphy, newest member of the Supreme Court, who declared that an Alabama statute and a Shasta County, Cal. ordinance regulating picketing, is unconstitu- tional and an infringement of the freedom of speech and press in cases of rival labor unions
 The Shasta County ordinance, passed two years ago, was attacked by the CIO in behalf of John Carl son, contending it prohibited peace full picketing. County officials who arrested him said he was one of 29 pickets carrying banners on the Delta Tunnel Project, site of an AFL vs. CIO jurisdictional dispute.
 His banner read, This job un- fair to CIO."
 The ordinance prohibited picket ing in the vicinity of any place of business for the purpose of in fluencing persons to refrain from working there
 Carlson was sentenced to 12 days in jail or S25 fine.
