An accomplished linguist the
Lowry doorman speaks seven diff
ferent languages. He came to
Minnesota to locate an uncle. Upon
arriving here from California he
found his uncle had returned to
Canada. He applied for technical
work with the Minnesota Mining
Co. During the snowstorm he made
a friend and three days after arriv-
ing he was employed as doorman
by the Hotel Lowry.
Rome has made many friends at
the Lowry with his engaging man.
ner. AS doorman stationed in the
outer lobby he operates phone ex-
change which connects him with
hotel, garage and a cab company.
He handles airport reservations,
temperature and weather forecast
from airport.
At the University which he plans
to enter in the spring he found a
course in laboratory technology and
biological science which interested
him.
Other plans of this interesting
young man who finds time to sing
in the choir of St. James AME
church include a return after the
completion of his schooling to Hall
fax providing war does not change
his plans) taking with him a GER
tain young woman (name unre-
vealed, whom he has wooed and
won and whom he plans to make
Mrs. DR.. Romeo.
This man Rome is an interesting
figure. The fact that his mothers
grandfather was the famous
Canadian Indian Chieftain Strong
heart may have something to do
with his tall handsome physique.
An interesting conversationalist,
he fairly bubbles over with living
and learning!

At present this unassuming
young man who has twice Travelled
half way around the world is en-
ployed as a doorman at the Lowry
Hotel. He plans to enter the Uni
versity in a few months for study.
Unless you spoke to him and heard
his reply in excellent English but
with a French Canadian accent, you
would not guess that you were con-
versing with a man of great posi-
bilities in the field of science and
one whose life has been full of I'M
usual experiences.
DR.. Rome, the son of a French
technical electrical engineer and a
Canadian mother, was born in the
U. S. while his parents were en-

Farmers Union Employee
Victim of Persecution
Because of Negro Friend
CAMPAIGN TO WIN EMPLOYEES


In a desperate campaign of per
sonal vilification against recent
ly dismissed girl employee, the
Farmers Union Central Exchange
management at South St. Paul,
headed by E. A. Syftestad, attempt
ed to force Caroline Bell to move
from the home she had established
with six other girls. Threats were
made that other employees would
be fired unless Miss Bell moved.
This was but one edge of dou-
ble-edged offensive by the Ex-
change management to influence
employees against Miss Bell by
means of fear and favors. Favors
included salary increases for sew
eral farm girls who had been paid
less than others for comparable
work.
Before her dismissal, Miss Bell

Playing at
Clef Club

Featured at the Clef Club now is
Earline Williams who came to Min
neapolis from Kansas City Wednes-
day night to open an engagement
at the popular Minneapolis spot.
The highly rated singer and
dancer has just finished a long con-
tract with Harlan Leonard's orches-
ira, the cream of the Mid-West's
musical and entertaining groups.
Scottie Williams, genial Clef club
manager, expects a large turnout
to hear and see the singer who is
a recording star in her own right.

had been told by Syftestad, "You
are doing the wrong thing by as
sociating with colored people. They
are kept in their place in the South,
and it is up to US as individuals to
do the same thing here" Syftes-
tad's strong racial prejudice be-
came an issue because the chairman
of the St. Paul Youth council, a
colored girl, had conferred with
Miss Bell, a council executive Of

Miss Bell was not dismissed,
however, until a short time after
she joined Local 40, United Office
