1t has been an interesting and
revealing pastime for the writer to
ask the so-called common people
who such and such Negro lead
er, of National Negro Weekly News
paper fame, was to find out that
they had never heard of him ol
her. 1t has been, also, an awaken
ing to find how violently many oi
these people resent certain lead
claiming them as followers.
The sad experiences Of the masses
of Negroes in recent years have
been centered around empty
stomaclls. DiscTimiryation, dis
placement, meanpess and indiffer-
ence on the part of many white
employers has contributed to this
empty" stomach situation.
Another contributing factor that
realistic education would have
helped to prevent was and is lack
of training to do skilled and semi
skilled work.
MUST BE TRAINED
So if the Negro professional man
is to nave clients, if the business
man is to have customers, if mar
riage Is to be satisfactory antici-
patton for Negro young men and
women, if Negro colleges are to
have students-then, Negro adults
must be trained to meet the work
demands of a mechanical indus
trial society.
The privileged Negroes, who
would be leaders, must lead the
fight for such training opportum-
ties. Then and only then will Ne
groes in appreciate numbers at
tend mass meetings on the theory
of Democratic Rights with any VII
to fight for the practice OF THESE
theories.

NOTHING DOING"

IN A CERTAIN southern city is
a bakery owned and operated by a
white woman. This bakery special
ICES in pies of divers description.
Nearly hundred Negroes are en-
ployed. The foreman, Negro along
III years, gets handsome wage and
every consideration due one of his
years and record. He is beginning
to all bit within recent months
and a white foreman is being
sroomed for his job.
Reliable information is floating
around to the effect that recently
he woman who owns and operates
he business was approached by d
committee and flatly asked to "lay
off, all Negroes and LAY on" all
whites. The reply of this fair-mind-
I'd white woman was Nothing do
