c. c. Spaulding Reaffirms Faith
In Booker I. Washington


Il am still old fashioned enough
to believe in the dignity and glori-
fcation Of labor-in clean hearts
and soilcd hands. In the matter
,iaat unusual emphasis should be
of education, it is my firm belief
placed on the training Of youth
to compete in the new order OF
affairs as they affect the nation.
Ne art passing through 4 period
when skilled labor is at pre-
mium-a time when our techni-
cal schools and land grant col
leges are in position TO render
their greatest service.
The day is at hand when our
youth should be taught the vital
necessity Of knowing how to do
something with their hands. Dur
ing these times when preparedness
is the dominant idea in national
thinking, skilled labor, regardless
Of racial identity, will find its
place
Mr.. Spaulding said he consld
cred it "unfortunate" that in the
past 'well-meaning individuals
devoted their efforts to the cul-
tural development of the Negro
at the expense of a more practl-
cal type of training and said he
believed today's youth were
changing this idea.
Speaking Of the problems con-
3s,ri I Negro businesses, he
said they have been laboring un-
az. ti.c nandlcaps Of proper APP
probation on the part Of the pub
tic and the public's failure to lend
consistent support. This he blam-
ed on the Negroes peculiar status
under the American system along
with the kind OF teaching he has
received.
''Inetficiency, irregularities and
lack Of confidence have long ex
acted their toll from NEGRO busi-
ness II general, yet our business
ses have lived and will continue
to advance Mr.. Spaulding as
serted. In past years strenuous
efforts we're made by those in
terested iii the Negro s develop
ment to improve many phases Of
Negro life, but little encourage
ment was given him along the
lines Of developing and organiz-
ing business enterprises, or the
cultivation Of commercial talents
that would enable him to learn
livelihood in these fields.
To-day we have different
situation in that many Of our
schools and colleges have estab
ilahed commercial departments

AIcoa Accused Of Trying
To StifIe Competition
By the Associated Press.

by JNc hS6OS4dLcd ACoo'
NEW YORK, March 4-Walter L.
Rice, special Federal prosecutor, to-
day accused the Aluminium Co. of
America, and the original company
which it succeeded. of consistently
working, for more than half-cen-
tury, to suppress competition and to
maintain control of the aluminium
industry
Rice made his accusations in his
summation of the Governments
antitrust suit against Alcoa, Alu-
minum, Ltd. and go other de-
PENDANTS. The trial started June l,
1898.
In 1908, Rice argued, Alcoa ac-
quired the so-called Bradley pat
ents for aluminium production, pay
ing 81 .429, GOT.
In this manner, he related, COM
petitor was eliminated
In 1905. he continued, Alcoa took
steps to forestall competition after
both Bradley and Hall patents-both
held by the corporation-had ex-
pired
"Alcoa with that end in view made
a deal with General Chemical Co..
which owned the stock of General
Bauxite Co." Rice said, whereby
Alcoa obtained Bauxite stock and
entered into a 50-year agreement
with Chemical. Under that agree
ment, it was to supply the chemical
company with bauxite needed for
chemical purposes and the chemical
company was not to use bauxite for
the production of aluminium"

In an address prepared for deliv-

pinch that has prevailed for several

"An easy flow of grain is linked
inevitably with broad, liquid fu-

present conditions continue, many
now in the grain trade must desert
the market and seek living in other
lines of agricultural and commercial

OBrien urged cooperation be-
tween grain merchants and farm

being made to tear down the wall of
misunderstanding between the two
groups.
Some of the laws that have been
enacted have worked extreme hard

slightly easier in several sections.

Initial gains in oil shares failed to

improved, and heavy industry shares
were f1rmer occasionally.
