If the cnly thing that Jamaica Inn," the picture which ends to- night at the Coliseum Theatre might beast is another magnificently alive, fascinating and unforgettable por- trayal by the Great Laughton-you would have reason enoughsto rank 1t as must picture. But when it combines Laughton with the tang of the Daphne duMaurier novel, the shrewd subtlety of Alfred Hitchcock's direction and Erich Pommer's pro- duction, it climbs to the front rank of shows that you cannot afford to miss!
 Jamaica Inn" turns the camera eye on England at time and place that was far from 'Merrie"-the wild Cornwall coast at the begin ming of the last century. The folk with whom the picture deals are the "wreckers"-a wild and motley band who thrive by turing sail ships to their death on the Cornish rocks, and pillaging them for their cargo.

Lily-White r. R. Union Tries
To Set Up Separate Negro
Union Under Its DictatiOn

ton which will not grant them vot-
ing power in the legislative meet
ings.
At the meeting called to discuss
action on the proposed auxiliary,
Arthur Williams, of Cincinnati,
president of the Council, said:
at (the auxiliary means that
the colored man will spend his
money and have no voice or repre-
sentation as to how it shall be
used. 1t is vitality important that we
be permitted to attend all commit
tee and Legislative meetings where
rules and laws are adopted for the
Negro to be governed by"
When word was first received
that the clerks had asked jurisdic-
ton over the colored locals, a COM
mittee called on Green to voice OBJ
lection. He assured them that they
would not be forced to accept the
agreement.
Shortly afterward, however, he
sent an Official" notice informing
them Of his decision and ordering
them to forward their charters,
supplies, and records to the home
Office. Rules and regulations for the
auxiliary followed in short order.
Instead of complying, the colored
workers formed their own brother
hood and forwarded application for
charter. Their reply to Green was,
in effect, either to recognize their
organization as a national brother
hood or admit them to full-fedged
membership in the BRO.
AS yet, the A. F. Of L. president
has made no answer, and while the
Council has not indicated what
steps will be taken should Green
refuse both propositions, it is ex-
pected that they will take the fight
before the National Mediation
Board to be certified to bargain
with the railroads.
Headquarters of the Council are
located in Cincinnati. National off
GERS are: Arthur Williams, Cincin-
natl, president; J. w. Mccall,
Birmingham, Ala, executive vice
pres; Alvin c. White, Phila., east
ern vice-pres.; Chester Keller, Chi
cago, western vice-pres.; S. W.
Hylton, Roanoke, Va, southeastern
vice-pres.; Willie Foster, New Or
leans, La, southwestern vice-pres.;
Herbert Bane, Cincinnati, secre-
tary; and J. L. Orr, Louisville, KY,
treasurer.

Political Forum
Will Hear All
Parties Beliefs

What have political parties con-
tributed to the advancement Of the
Negro race, and what do their pres
ent platforms offer to the further
advancement Of the Negro race, is
the topic to be discussed by six
brilliant speakers at a forum meet
ing Oct. 6. This forum is being
sponsored by the Minneapolis
Negro Youth Council as part of
their educational program. The
hour will be 3:45, Sunday, October
6, at the Phyllis Wheatley House.
All persons interested in voting and
political parties are invited to
attend.
The Minneapolis Negro Youth
Council is anxious to arouse inter-
est in the legal right to vote, not
only in the young frst-voters in
Minneapolis but also in the older
voters who have not taken advan-
tage of this right. In 1886, the last
national and general election,
42,858 persons did not vote. How
many Negroes in Minneapolis were
among that number? That is the
question asked by the Youth Coun-
ell.
In order to keep a record of those
individuals who are voting for the
first time, the Youth Council is ask
ing them to register at the Urban
League office, 240 South 4th Street,
with the Minneapolis Negro Youth
Council. Several civic organizations
are making plans for young voters,
and we are anxious to have our
Negro young people participate in
them. If we have record of those
persons who are interested in such
activities, we can easily keep them
informed of them.
The Council has contacted the
League of Women Voters, the Min
neapolis Civic Council, and the Cit
izenship Day Committee, whose
chairman is Miss Prudence Cut
right, assistant superintendent of
the Minneapolis public schools; be-
sides the numerous political par
ties, who have cooperated splendid
ly with the council.

Association in St. Paul Wednesday
night.
Three hundred persons attend
ing the annual dinner meeting of
the st. Paul Urban League at the
Y. W. C. A. heard the youthful
executive head of the famous Chi
cago paper insist vigorously that
defense without unity would not be
sufficient to protect this country.
Pointing out the prescriptions
against the Negro he questioned
whether the Negro was justified in
defending democracy as it is pres
emily praeticed toward the IL mil
lions Of American Negroes.
He struck at industrial concerns
having defense contracts and re-
fusing to hire Negroes. Sengstaeke
said, "The airplane contracts from
the U. S. government have opened
10000 jobs in that industry. Only
one Negro has been employed in
that number"

cal, well prepared, As minute ad-
dress he received an ovation from

large problems which still face the
Negroes of st. Paul and what the
league has tried to do to solve
some Of them.
At the close of his summary DR..

eve hear now that our worst
enemies are the Fifth Columnists.
You have not been told that Fifth
Columnists in America are those
who teach and practice race hatred
who deny men justice and lack
of respect for personality on the
mere score of color. They are
Americas Fifth Columnists, and
they make Fifth Columnists of
those whom they thus prosecute.
God is giving our nation ample
warning and time to repent and
turn from her sins as she sees the
penalty that Europe is paying for
her greed, injustice and hunger for
power" ..-.. ...

NEGRO WORKERS FORM OWN
UNION AND REFUSE TO
JOIN AUXILIARY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. "a.
Stating that they will not be
shunted into a powerless, jim-crow
organization" colored freig h t
handlers, express and station en-
ployees throughout the country
have notified William Green, A. F.
of L. head, that they will not abide
by his order to join an auxiliary"
of a white brotherhood.
In rejecting Green's order to turn
in their individual charters as fed
eral union locals and join the "aux-
iliary" as a subordinate of the lily
white Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks, it was pointed out that
members Of the proposed organiza-
ton would be shorn of all voting
privilege in the A. F. of L., since
they cannot even send representa-
tives to the grand lodge of the
white group.
Furthermore, the colored work
ers contend, attempt to force this
unequal set-up is contrary to the
purported policy of the A. F. Of L.,
which has consistently gone on rec
ord during national conventions as
against all forms of discrimination
on account of race or color.
Fighting the move to swing jur-
isdiction Of their activities under
the BRO, delegates from the fed
eral union locals met in Cincinnati
recently and formed the National
Council of Freight Handlers, Ex-
press and Station Employees, an
organization consisting Of fifty To-
calls with close to 1000 members
scattered throughout the country.
In registering their protest,
members of the Council reminded
Green that the right to determine
who shall be their representative
is guaranteed under the Railroad
Labor Act, and since no colored
workers were consulted in the mat
ter, formulating the auxiliary
under the BRO without their con-
sent was the first step in the wrong
direction.
Membership in the BRO is de-
MED them solely on the basis of
race, the colored group pointed out,
and under no condition viii they
agree to be supervised by a preju-
diced body, nor contribute their
taxes to the Golfers Of an organiza-
