Chapter "a
Too Much Money

EILEEN only said. II don't UNI
derstand -"
Martin said sharply, his face
and eyes still brilliant with ex-
element Because crazy chances
are the only adventures I have
left to me. My father and grand
father spent their lives in the
biggest excitement of their times,
the fight up through industry. My
moneys carefully canned in a
sound trust, turn the handle and
the income pours out. They want
ed to save me troubled
MY mother took one of the
few ways high-powered execu-
tive's wife had to keep from
being swept under by his sheer
drive. She went ia for causes.
She's copied 'em all off, suffrage,
pacifism. / could trail round as
her lieutenant, but I'm like the
man in the musical comedy, I
don't take orders well.
Il had a vague idea once about
philanthropy, but Lewis Delevan
is professional, he handles my
charities much better than I pos
sibly could. My moneys robbed
me even Of"
He checked himself in the mid
die of his angry speech, suddenly
changing to his usual self.
"Of even the chance of counting
your wife," Eileen said bitterly.
He came over and kissed her
neck. Don't look for trouble" he
said. "You said it, / didn't"
But you think it's true"
He said composedly, with any,
one who has all my money it has
to be true, Eileen. I learned by
the time | was six years old that
people thought of my money first
and me afterwards. / don't bear
malice; it's just a trait of human
nature"
''With-everybody?" she almost
whispered it.
Come on, darling. time we
dressed"
She was being walled out again.
She wouldn't take it.
you shan't believe it, you
shan't. 1t isn't true. I'll show you
it isn't true" she said passionate
ly. She ran over to him, gripping
his arm, almost shaking him in
her intensity. But he only dropped
another kiss or fer hair. You're
sweet kid" he said, and went
to dress.
But she would show him. She
would. Sooner or later she'd get
it through his head that one re--
son in the world liked him, not
his money.
They were dining and dancing
at somebody's sugar plantation,
out under the sky in the noon
light to the inevitable Hawaiian
guitars. Friends Of Martins, of
course, She dressed with special
care. Martin mustn't be ashamed
of the little outsider he'd found
on a sidewalk outside a flower
shop.
She really liked her hostess, I'M
expectedly; a gentle dark girl,
friendly and half-asleep, who
didn't exclaim over her or say
how thrilled she was about the
marriage. The tropical night, the
stars on the veranda after dinner,

BANK COMMISSIONERS
PRAISE ASSOCIATED
NEGRO CREDIT UNION

R. v. Wander Horck, credit un-
lon supervisor, and A. A. WilSkcz,
chief credit union examiner, both
Of the Minnesota State Banking
Department, praised the Associ-
ated Negro Credit Union for its
rapid growth during its brief per-
iod of operation at a meeting held
at the Sterling Club in St. Paul
Monday night.
From $50 to $1,000
Both men who have watched the
resources of this organization
jump from $3.50 in February,
1887, to more than $4,000 May 81,
1941, said this Credit Union was
being definitely operated on a
sound basis and that the growth
and good management has been
unusual.
With the same sound manage
ment and the full support of mem
bers, Mr.. Wander Horck and Mr..
Wilcken believe the sky should be
the limit to its resources and the
service it could render to its mem

Houston, Tex. - Roscoe Dunjee,
fighting editor Of the Oklahoma
City Black Dispatch, and member
of the board of directors of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, drew
rounds of applause from delegates
and visitors who crowded the Good
Hope Baptist Church here for the
opening mass meeting of the 32nd
annual conference of the N. A. A..
C. P. Tuesday night, June "a.
Declaring that the Negro is the
weakest link in our democracy,
Dunjee said, 81 know of no more
significant reason why this meet
ing should be called here in Hous-
ton by 100000 black men and
women of America than the fact
that America refuses to allow Ne
groes to assist in thinking through
her great and vital problems"
Scores Mob Violence
Playing attacks on the civil
rights of Negroes and mob vio-
lence, he continued saying that to-
talitarianism can be just as vicious
in Texas as in Berlin and that per-
secutions of Jews in Germany do
not equal in "frightfulness or ter
ror the murderous assault upon
Bob White in the court room at
Conroe, Texas, and the freeing of
his fendish murderer in two min
utes."
Dunjee reviewed the record of
the N. A. A. C. P. in fighting mob
violence, and discrimination in en-
ployment. He concluded with a
ringing demand that Negroes be
given fair aand equal treatment in
the armed forces.
Agar Assails Failures
Mr.. Dunjee was preceded on the
platform by Herbert Agar, editor
of the Louisville, KY, Courier
Journal who was introduced by the
Reverend A. A. Lucas, president of
the Houston Branch.
Mr.. Agar called the spreading
European conflict a revolution
against decent way Of life," and
said that America has contributed
as much as any other nation to
make the revolution possible by
failing to live up to the promises
we have made. .
mo failure is worse than the
failure we made when we failed to
live up to the promises we made
to the Negro after the World
War;" he stated. 49,
Mr.. Agar declared that Ameri-
ca will not have the strength to
beat off the worldwide revolution
unless she can be truly democratic.

on Washington scheduled for July
LIST has been postponed. 1t has not
been Cancelled, he made clear, but
postponed. He called the order the
greatest thing for Negroes since
the emancipation proclamation.
He pounded home the fact that
the purpose of this March had been
achieved, but the power latent in
the support Of the Negro masses
viii be kept in reserve to be used
for the abolition of discrimination
in all phases of the federal govern
ment.
"Power politics is the thing to-
day." he asserted. 1--WE will use
the power of the Negro masses and
continue to demand and get what
we want"
President Roosevelt issued the
order after a conference at the
White House with Randolph Wal
ter White, NAACP secretary; Sec
rotary of War Stimson, Secretary
Of the Navy Knox, Sidney Hillman
and William Knudsen of the Office
of Production Management, Au-
brey Williams, NYA Administra-
tor, and Anna Rosenberg of New
York.
The order forbids racial diserim-
nation by employers and trade
unions and sets up a 5-man board
to be appointed by the President,
deriving its power from the Presi-
dent to investigate and act upon
complaints of discrimination.
The national Board of Directors
of NAACP, meeting at noon Thurs
day, June 26th, voted approval of
the postponement of the march.

thumbs down on all Bauer and
Black products, and they ought to
do so. e..
The moral effect Of such a ma
tion-wide boycott would be very
great and the economic effect
would be considerable. We have
got to let it be known that we do
not like being told to starve when
we are being taxed to maintain
firms that boycott against US.
Bauer and Black is not the only
firm that bOycotts Negroes. The
majority of the firms making and
distributing acknowledgements
products do not hire any Negroes,
or if they do, such Negroes are en-
plOyed in mental capacities with no
chance of promotion.
Most of the firms that boycott
Negro workers also boycott the
Negro newspapers. Although Ne
groes consume millions Of ciga-
rettes weekly, not a single ciga-
rette company advertises in a Ne
gro newspaper, and only one firm
hires an appreciate number Of Ne
gro workers.
Large brewers and distiIlers hire
very few Negroes and very seldom
advertise in the Negro newspapers.
The same thing is true of the big
food professors and distributors,
millers, building supply dealers,
clOthiers, etc.
Much of this is due to the fail
ure of Negroes to vote fright"
with their dollar bill. The consum-
err has to be a producer in order
to continue being a customer. If
and when he has dollar to spend,
he should spend it in such a way
as will enable him to get more dol
lars to spend. IT..
Stores in every Negro COM
munity have their shelves loaded
with goods manufactured by firms
that will not hire Negroes or give
them a chance for promotion, and
will not advertise in Negro news
papers. When the Negro consumer
