Dominant Negro
Go. Decreasing,

WASHINGTON, d. c. - One
of the many interesting fact which
the 1910 Census will bring to light
is the number of counties in the
United States where Negroes con-
stitute rs per cent or more of the
total population.
Previous Censuses have shown
that the number of such counties
have been gradually decreasing
since 1910. In that year there were
fifty-three. In 1920 there were
only thirty-six, and in 1880 only
nineteen.

All Seattle Lauds
Marian Anderson

Making her entrance 8:45 p. m.
at the Civic Auditorium Monday
evening, March IL, Marian Ander-
son once more captured her aud
fence and left them filled with
awe. The famous contralto, whose
voice of magnificent range and
volume, with resources of color
and feasibility that are only at the
command of the supreme few, is
today Americas most distinguish
ed contribution to the concert
stage.
Standing in the curve of the pia-
no, beautifully gowned in white
satin and supported by the artistic
setting, she was truly a lovely
picture. She is tall, poised, her
figure stately and her face in re-
pose reflects subtly the moods of
her song as she sings. And as the
great singer sang song after song,
enchanting her listeners of 1000,
not even a whisper could be heard
until the song, which was follow
ed by laundering applause, was
ended.
Even after the program had
come to a close the music lovers
would not release her but clamor-
ed for more and she came back,
only too happy to sing for them
again and again. And when she
bowed for the last time and did
not return, many rushed backstage
and jammed it solid for one more
glimpse of the great singer.
Miss Anderson was inspired and
proved if you are success moth
ing will keep you back, no matter
what your nationality may be. The
Negro race is proud of Marian An
derson and takes pride in claiming
her as their own.
Her program follows: A group
of Handel arias and songs, a num-
Der of Schubert songs, with the
beautiful Ave Maria" for the en-
core; major aria, this time the
"Casya Diva" from Norma" US
ually reserved for tenors; a group
of Finnish and other modern songs
including a couple by her wonder
full accompanist, Kosti Vehanen,
who shared laurels with Miss An
derson. And the concluding group
of Negro spirituals, on which her
widest fame as a singer rests
Miss Anderson's program included
several encores, the popular mo
Hiding Place Down There" ooh,
What a Beautiful City," Comm
Thru the Rye" Cuckoo Song"
Song to a Dark Virgin" and a
Finnish folk song.

Union Needs No Bargaining
Bond, n. |. R. B. Rules
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that a labor
union was not required under the
Wagner Act to post a bond guaran-
teelng performance of a collective
bargaining agreement to which it is
a signatory.
The ruling was in a case against
the Jasper Blackburn Products
Corp. st. Louis. It directed the
company to bargain with the A. F..
LIS International Association of Ma
chinists and embody any under
standing reached in signed agree
ment without requiring the union
to post bond.
The request for bond. the board
held, imposed a qualification on the
bargaining negotiations which was
inconsistent with the policy of the
Wagner Act.
Even assuming bond OF the kind
requested to be obtalnable." the
board said, "the employer cannot
lay Gown the blanket requirement
that the union pay tax TO a sure
ty company before the result con-
templated by the act, a signed BIZ
lateral agreement, can come to pass. -
The board declared that since
none of the proposals advanced
either by the company or the union
required any performance whatso-
ever on the unions part the demand
for a bond was made to avoid the
required fundamentals of collec-
tive bargaining.
