went three minutes past the limit
and it was contended that if it
had been called 8:15 o'clock, the
Marines would have been unable
to complete their half of the fifth
inning. This would have resulted
in mo game" as five complete
innings would not have been
played.

that it does not pay.
Civic groups and religious bodies
could put their hands to no better
task than to convince authorities
in both Minneapolis and St. Paul
that we should have a Negro juv-
emile or probation officer in each
of these cities.
If the politicians cannot be con-
WINGED we should all dig down in
our pockets and hire someone to
do the job ourselves. Minneapolis
members of the Hennepin County
district court bench had a fine OPP
portunity to name a qualified Ne
gro to such a post several months
ago, but all of them with the ex-
ception of two exhibited the rank
est kind of racial bias because they
thought the young Negro applicant
who was well qualified might have
to call on a white family occasion
ally! On this particular phase we
shall have more to say the next
time some of those jurists are up
for election.
However, we must bestir our
selves to help our youth go the
right way and one way will be to
have some paid person checking
up on them.

ton i'm Organized
Labor

Editor: 1 have been employed
for years as a waiter in a hotel
in which the bosses, when angry
about something the walters did,
would make a remark like this,
eve will put you out and put in
white help" did not like that
kind of a remark and thought it
unfair, so I studied for a long time
to get something to Offset it. Final
ly l thought that had something.
About this time our Local GA
began meeting every Wednesday
afternoon in the Vocational Night
School.
This was my opportunity to put
the idea before the members of my
local first. I rose and said, MEM
bers of Local GA, we are not in
good standing with our employers.
Here is my idea which 1 think will
put US in their good graces. We
will go out and contact the rail-
road men, red caps, dining car
walters and Pullman car porters
and get them to work with US in
boosting business for the hotel
which will mean thousands of dol
lars a year for the hotel"
Most of our members thought
the idea was good, but the work
ers were few. After a number of
meetings and much discussion over
the idea, ! took the proposal up
with my employer. He thought it
was just grand. I was permitted
to go to work on it right away
depending on the final answer from
the Efficiency Board. They worked
on the proposal for about two
weeks and finally reached a deci-
sion-and what a decision it was!
In the final analysis one mem
Der of the Efficiency Board said
white man should have the job of
organizing the plan and asked the
employer to give it to him and
that he would do it for nothing.
The employer gave it to him and
told me to go back in the dining
room and go to work.
That decision knocked me over

Need Juvenile
Officers

Rev. C. B. Wheeler, pastor of
Mount Ohvet Baptist Church, has
called the attention of this paper
to the dire need in St. Paul Of a
Negro juvenile court officer. We
agree with Rev. Wheeler and know
that that need is duplicated in Min
neapolis.
Increasing juvenile delinquency
in both cities among the Negro
youngsters is disquieting and we
believe that unless more is done
to curb it both communities will
have much to regret.
With his peculiar economic prob
lens the urban Negroes family life
is not always well regulated. Chill
dren are problems. The three COM
munity houses in the two cities do
an excellent job but they need the
assistance of parents and there is
real need for some worker, paid
from city and county funds, to
keep a check on delinquent chill
dren and discourage those who Dor
der on delinquency, showing them

Every Negro a
Communist?

Potentially, every black man in
America is a Communist. He
wants this discriminatory form of
government corrected. Some are
brave enough to admit it and
openly join the party voicing that
program; others agree in part with
its platform, but for the sake of
bread and butter, keep quiet on
the issue; still others too coward
ly to fight for their own rights
silently applaud communistic bonn
bardments against American race
prejudice. Fact of the matter is
that the Communist has given
shape and form to the Negroes
previously unorganized fight for
his rights as an American citizen
and actually frightened him in try
ing to carry it out. If Democracy
fully functioned in behalf of the
black man; if the Constitution
meant what it says, Communism
would offer no attraction. Had you
thought of that? America is still
half free and half slave.-Lucius
Harper in the Chicago Defender.

At the Crossroads
By Richard HOvey

By Richard HOvey
You to the left and / to the right,
For the ways of men must sever
And it we'll may be for a day and
day,
And it well may be forever.
But whether we meet or whether
we part,
(For our ways are past our know
ing)
And pledge from the heart to its
fellow heart
On the ways we all are going!
Here's luck!
For we know not where we are
going.
We have striven fair in love and
war,
But the wheel was always
weighted!
We have lost the prize that we
struggled for,
We have won the prize that was
fated.
We have met our loss with a smile
and song,
And our gains with a wink and a
whistle
For, whether we're right or
whether we're wrong,
There's a rose for every whistle
Here's luck!
And drop to wet your whistle!
Whether we win or whether we
lose
With the hands that life is dealing
1t is not we nor the ways we choose
But the fall of the cards that's
sealing.
There's a fate in love and fate
in fight
And the best of US all go under
And whether we're wrong or
whether we're right,
We win, sometimes to our wonder,
Here's luck!
That we may not yet go under!

And next in line for the prize of
tinfoil-decorated ash-can is the
person who Stands you up on the
corner" He swears on a stack of
almanacs that he will meet you
on a certain corner, and it is des-
ignated, then two hours later, he
comes up and tries to argue that
he was standing on the opposite
corner waiting for you, ct cetera
ad infnitum.
The best way to cure perennial
late-comers" is to give them dose
of their own medicine. Don't de-
lay the dinner for them, but en-
joy it and let the last one get what
he may. Start your meeting on
time and if the tardy one comes
just five minutes before closing,
close right on as if there weren't
any other arrivals, and let the late
one get what was done the best
way he can.
Being late is, in the first place,
rude except in cases of real emer-
gencies. Secondly, the person who
disappoints in the matter of time
has a very exalted notion of him
self or herself. And it does not
matter whether the offender is a
workman, school teacher, preacher,
lodge head or what-not.
Many fine opportunities have
been lost by not being able to
make time. Good workmen are
now out of employment and many
not-so-good employees are still on
the job because whatever their
shortcomings, when the time comes
for a door to be opened, it is
opened. But if the door is to be
ajar at six o'clock and it flies open
at seven, that won't do.
And we can remember this: the
man who can make time is the
| one who will get ahead.
