color, is always right and that the
management requires equal treat
ment for all law-abiding citizens
and they welcome colored trade in
all departments of the store. He
was informed of the drive for
memberships and he took out a
$3.50 subscription in the NAACP.
It has been reported that a new
place of amusement in St. Paul is
barring colored patrons and plans
are now being formulated to take
proper action in this matter.
Joseph Albright gave very in
teresting and effective discourse,
stating, among other things, that
organized labor intends to get its
just rights during this present
emergency and there is no better
time than now for Negroes to con-
tend for all rights of citizens as
outlined by the NAACP.
The Secretary, Miss Junauld
Brown, reported $50 collected for
memberships.
Rev. S. E. Ware and Rev. Benja-
min Moore gave brief remarks urg-
ing the support of the organiza-
ton.
Music for the occasion was rem
dered by the st. James Choral Club
under the direction Of Mrs. Benia-
min Moore.

the Transport Workers Union and
the United Negro Bus Strike Com
mittee.
The agreement not only breaks
down the color bar among bus
drivers and mechanics Immediately,
but guarantees the ultimate en-
ployment of a number of Negroes
equal to their proportion in New
York's population.
TWU CO-Operates
The TWU agreed to waive SEN
iority rights for all but 81 of its
laid-off drivers, in order to permit
the early employment of Negro
drivers. After the 81 have been re-
employed-and the present arbitra-
ton between the bus companies and
the TWU may result in putting
most of them to work at once-100
Negroes will be hired before any
white men get driving jobs.
In the maintenance division, the
first 70 jobs open will go to Ne
groes. After the 100 drivers and
20 mechanics have been taken on,
the bus companies agree to hire
Negro and white alternately until
II per cent of the bus companies
workers are Negroes.
Three Organizations
The agreement was signed by
representatives of the three groups
yesterday at the bus company
Offices. The United Negro Bus
Strike Committee is composed of
three principal organizations, the
Greater New York Coordinating
Committee for Employment, the
Harlem Labor Union and the Ma
tional Negro Congress. The Rev.
Adam Clayton Powell Of Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church, Roger
Straughn, president of the Harlem
Labor Union, and Hope Stevens,
president of the Manhattan Branch
of the National Negro Congress,
directed the boycott as co-chair-
men.
Picket lines, which had been
posted at principal bus stops in
Harlem since March 25, were re-
moved when the agreement was
signed.
It is expected that the organiza-
ton that directed the bus boycott
will be continued, under another
name, and with it's activities d.
rected to breaking down the color
bar in some other industry vulner-
able to consumer boycott.

Mabel McGavOck
Lewis Gets Divorce
In District Court

Mabel McGavock Lewis, 418
Charles Street, SO, was granted a
divorce in District Court, Monday,
April 81, at 11:50 a. m. with Judge
Clayton Parks on the bench, from
Alfred ]. Lewis, meat inspector
Chief witness was Hammond Tur-
ner, Mrs. Lewis attorney.
Cruel and Inhuman"
Alleging that Lewis treated her
cruel and inhuman, that he was
intimate with other women and
was heavily burdened with debts,
Mrs. Lewis took the stand in her
own behalf. Lewis did not appear
She told the court that they were
married Aust 7, 1887, in St. Paul
and separated in August, 1910,
after she found out that Lewis had
been intimate with at least two
women.
Spent Her Earnings
She stated on the stand that she
spent practically all her earnings
and all her savings of $500 to cover
bills and debts to save the prop
erty. According to her story,
Lewis was Indifferent and told her
if she didn't like it she didn't have
to take it.
She told the court that on the
night of June 3, 1910, Rev. Gerald
L. Hayden came to her home to
demonstrate with her husband for
being intimate with his wife, Mrs.
Emma K. Hayden. Shortly after,
Rev. Hayden came, Mrs. Hayden
appeared also and an argument en-
sued that lasted until 3:45 a. M,
June 4.
Witnesses to this session, accord
ing to Mrs. Lewis, were Mrs. Sarah
Patton, a roomer, and Mr.. Moi
felt, another roomer in the Lewis
home.
Mrs. Lewis stated that Lewis ad-
mitted his infidelity with Mrs. Hay
den and with another unnamed
woman who had visited him at
their home while she was on a trip
to Chicago the first of August to
visit her mother and sister.
She stated that she forgave he1
husband after his first escapade
but couldn't forgive the second
She said he was abusive and struck
her on one occasion.
In addition to Hammond Turner
attorney, who corroborated parts
of her story, a deposition was Of
fered from Moffett, the roomer who
was out of the city.
Lewis did not contest the divorce
action.
Rev. G. L. Hayden, A. M. E. min
lister who figured in the testimony
got his divorce in January. Short
ly after Mrs. Hayden, who now
lives in Philadelphia, wrote this
paper denying assertions and in
situations made regarding her con-
duct.
She also said she had not been
notified of Rev. Hayden's divorce
action.

J. w. B. CHAIRMAN OF
ARMY AND NAVY
COMMITTEE

Serving with the armed forces
of the United States at this mo-
ment are many thousands Of Jew
ish young men. Rich and poor,
native-born and foreign, clerk and
machinist, all are to be found in
the ranks. They are to be found
in the army, the navy, the marine
corps and the coast guard. AS a
group, it is entirely safe to say
of them that they are well discip-
lined and Woodworking, respected
by their Christian fellow-soldiers
and commanding officers alike.
This outstanding fact is, in great
part, responsible for the cordial
relations that exist between the
Jewish men and their non-Jewish
comrades and is evidence Of the
fact that religious and inter-faith
harmony is on a level higher than
it has been at any other time.
The high and democratic level
of inter-faith cooperation in the
army and navy can be attributed
in another way to the active func-
tioning of the United Service Or
CARNATIONS for National Defense.
Here, in the U. S. O., are repre-
sented the three major religious
faiths-the Catholic, the Protest
ant and the Jewish. Their man.
ner of collaboration, their common
and united desire to be of service
to all men regardless of race,
creed or faith, has struck a cor
responding note within the armed
forces themselves. One recalls, in
this connection, the case of the
young Catholic soldier who, on
learning of the death of his uncle,
was enabled to travel hundreds of
miles to attend a high requim
mass through the efforts Of a
Jewish boy and the Jewish We'll
fare Board.
Another notable case in point
occurred last Christmas at Fort
Dix, N. ]. There, the Jewish SOL
diers voluntarily agreed to waive
their furloughs in favor of their
Catholic and Protestant comrades.
This, on the part of the Jewish
men, was their Christmas present
to the Christian soldiers.

Judge Louis E. Levinthal
President, Zionist Organization Of
America
Washington, D. c.
Dear Judge Levinthal:
have received an announce
ment from your staff that you
will be in New York and would
receive members of the press to
explain your policies on assum-
ing the duties of office as Presi-
dent of the Zionist Organization.
AS 1 received the card, I had just
been reading an article by Archi-
bald MacLeish, who, as you know
also recently assumed a new Of
flee in Washington, as chief of
the great Library of Congress.
Reading Mr.. MacLeish's article
made me think of you very much.
MI. MacLeish in his article
quoted from President Lincoln's
address to Congress at its opening
in 1862: Fellow citizens, we
cannot escape history. We of this
Congress and this Administration
will be remembered in spite of
ourselves. The fiery trials through
which we pass will light us down
to honor or dishonor to the lat
est generation"
You and your administration,
Judge, as you probably realize
more than others Cannot escape
history" called to your work as
you are during this fiery trial"
There was time-and it was
not so long ago either-when
people talked about something
they called the Negro problem in
America or the Jewish problem
in America or the Polish problem
or the Irish or the German or the
Italian-or maybe the Scottish.
I don't know. The idea appar-
emily was that the Negro prob
lem was a problem for Negroes

ALetter to Judge LevinthsI

and the Jewish problem was for
Jews and the Italian problem was
problem for the Italians II. :.
That time is past. It is now fairly
apparent even to the most COM
placent and the least imaginative
citizens that there is no German
problem and no Jewish problem
and no Polish problem but only
an American problem!
The germ of this thought, my
dear Judge, seems to me a truth
very vital for Zionists. Applying
it to Zionism, I would say that
Zionism is no longer a matter for
Jews only. It seems to me that
Zionists long have been slow in
recognizing this truth. Before
Herzl wrote Das Judenstaat,
. George Elliott had written Daniel
Deronda. Before there was a
Zionist Organization in America,
a number of Christians in Amer
lea had been prominent in Zionist
work. Consult the records of the
Jewish Historical Society-and
they have only meagerly assem-
bled all the material that is avail
able and you will see that it is
so.
When Woodrow Wilson was
elected President, he offered the
post of Ambassador to Turkey to
Henry Morgenthau and Morgen-
THAI as he relates in his own
autobiography was reluctant a.
about accepting it. Why always,
he asked Wilson, offer the Turkey
post to Jews? And Wilson replied
that he wanted a Jew there be-
cause Palestine was Of so much
concern to the Jews. Now re-
member that this happened before
there was even a thought of a
World WARM 1913. In other
words, the Christian world long
sensed, that Palestine belonged to
us, and the Christian world-a
great part Of it-would undoubt-
edly have helped much towards
our work there, if we really had
shown any inclination to have
their collaboration. But we did
little to invite this collaboration.
To be sure, every now and then
we run to some prominent politi-
clan or statesman-but that is not
general American collaboration
Recently, Judge, I saw a young
Irish maid servant collecting tin
foil for the British-of all people,
Did you ever see an Irish girl or
an English girl collect tin foil
or anything else for Palestine?
We Zionists have failed to see
the universalism of our cause. Let
me recall to you, Judge, the case
of citizen Of your home town
of Philadelphia, Benjamin Frank
lin. You will remember that in
1776, this country was developing
a sort of Zionism. Tie Americans
wanted to have a homeland of
their own. And there were only q
couple of million Of them without
a navy, without an army and
without even unity. It was a hard
problem facing them. But Pat
rick Henry, the great leader Of in
dependence in the Virginia legisla-
ture said, God will raise up

friends to fight our battles for
us" in that famous Liberty or
Death speech of his, and this EEL
low citizen of yours, Judge, TINS
BENJAMIN Franklin was sent to
France and he brought over mon
ev and munitions and an army.
He had universaliZed a national
cause. And the cause of every
people is a universal cause. The
Jews of Bible days recognized
this. They saw all sorts OF peo-
pie "going up to the House OF the
God of Jacob" They envisioned
the return of the Jews to Pales-
tine as affecting not only the Jews
but every people of the world.
Can we not have mass move
ment of Americans who are not
Jews, organized for Zionism. Can
we not have for instance such a
woman as Dorothy Thompson a
pronounced Zionist-who made her
debut as a foreign correspondent
travelling with the Brandeis dele
cation going to the London confer
ence after the war-as member
of the Executive Board of the
Zionist Organization. Let us make
our Zionism a universal cause
and not only will the Christians
come to us-but the Jews, for
the Jews after all is first of all
a member of the human race
and the laws of Nature which
no chauvinism can abrogate, has
decreed, that it is the universal
cause which takes precedence in
our hearts.
And in a practical way-there
are many benefits. Let me give
homely illustration of my own
experience. Many years ago,
Judge, was associated in the
publicity work of the Zionist Or
ganization. In those days, the
newspapers were not particularly
keen about Zionist publicity and
it was quite a problem getting
material printed. I remember on
one occasion we received a photo
graph of Rothschild Boulevard in
Tel Aviv. It is a handsome street
and then, when Zionist construc-
ton was just at its beginning, we
were particularly proud of it. I
took the photograph to one news
paper and syndicate after another
but no where could get it ac-
cepted. In desperation I resorted
to ruse. I changed the caption
under it. renamed it Woodrow
Wilson Boulevard, saying that the
Pedestrians had named this hand
some street in tribute to the great
services rendered by President
Wilson to the Zionist cause
then I took it to a syndicate and
later the clippings came in by the
hundreds from every town from
Squeedunk to Chicago and every
now and then since, though many
years have passed, I see Wilson
Boulevard in the newspapers.
My ethical sense is more devel-
| oped today-and I would not re-
sort to such a strategem now. But
I wonder to myself, was my sin
worse than that of the Zionists
who failed to name at least one
of their streets after the man
who cooperated with Brandeis,
Frankfurter and others to make
the Zionist dream come true.
Does not the absence of such a
name there show something par
Iticularly lacking in our strategy
if nothing else.
Well, Judge, I think I'll close
my letter. Sorry to have bother
ed you, but I did want to call
your attention TO this article by
MacLeish.

cess Of your administration, am
