HAZEL
EYES
By Hazel Brannon
MOTHERS DAY

If / could find a rose as pure
As my own mothers love was sure,
I'd wear that rose Of spotless snow.
That those who saw it there might know
How much my mother meant to me-,
How much she means eternally.
Ny mothers life was like q flower
That broke to blossom every hour.
l knew its frangrance rs q child,
When all the earth with beauty smiled;
And when the earth was clad in gray,
1t seemed to sweeten, day by day.
Ny mothers name was little known
Beyond the circle of her own.
She never dreamed Of pomp and place.
She chose to run = modest race,
Contehted quite II she could cast
A breath Of fragrance where she passed.
Old-fashioned gardens held her heart
Where humble blossoms bloomed apart,
Where many q sweet familiar thing,
Like those dear songs she used to sing,
Turned every commonplace to good,
Like her own winsome w~omanhood.
II l could find a rose as white
As my own mothers ways were right,
Despite my hearts eternal ache.
I'd wear that tribute for her sake.
l think that it would bring her joy
To see that flower on her boy.
/ see her still through binding tears,
Beyond the border land Of years.
She is not old and bent and gray,
But fair and young and 1.-THE and gay.
When twilight ends my afternoon,
I hope to meet my mother soon.

The Senate has passed 63-16 legislation
making it a crime to instigate a strike
in war plants or mines which have been
taken over by the government. The final
version of the bill contained a clause
vesting in the War Labor Board statu-
tory power to enter and settle labor
disputes.
This bill, if passed in it's present form,
gives the War Labor Board authority
to settle wage disputes without neces-
sarily referring to the Little Sttel for
mula, which permits general wage rises
not to exceed Is per cent above the
level Of Jan. 1. 1871, and leaves the road
to initiation wide open. The decisions of
the board would be final subject only
to review by the courts on questions of
law.
After this bill has been passed on by
the House there is still a question of
whether or not it can be administered
without loss of a lot of precious time

seem more and more to harrass the ad-
ministration and have the effect of
seriously curtailing production of vitality
needed ornaments.
1t seems that a simpler bill could
have been worked out, and a more in
elusive bill, simply by making it treason
to call or to participate in a strike. That
would have stopped John l.. Lewis and
his gang of outlaws without having to
take up so much time in court with him.
Making 1t a Crime to strike in war
plants or mines which have been taken
over by the government will not stop
strikes at all if the communist ele-
ments in the labor organizations have
their way. 1t may we'll serve their pur-
pose in having all industry taken over
by the government something We
have been predicting for years.
John L.. Lewis can well be pleased at
with the U. S. government. When labor
with the U. S. government. When lavor
organizations call strikes and all in
dustry is taken over by the government
it will be much easier for him to deal
with the government than it now is to
deal with private ndustrialists . for
with the government so far he has re-
ceived practically everything he has de-
manded.
With private industry taken over COM
pletely by the government during the
war it will be hard to convince the
government that il shouldn't run every
thing after the war.
We are indebted to Judge S. F. Davis
for this bit of verse which he picked up
somewhere:
King Solomon and King David led merry,
merry lives;
They had several hundred lady friends
and quite . number Of wives;
But, when they began to grow old and
conscience brought its qualms;
Solomon wrote the Proverbs and David

Commentators Use
Of "WOOdpile"
Phrase Resented

Radio listeners who tune in on
the Fulton Lewis, Jr., program
heard daily over Who'll were cha
grined Saturday night when Louis
Bromfeld, noted novelist pinch
hitting for Lewis, used the dis
tasteful phrase "n-r in the
woodpile."
Tuesday night Bromfeld at
tempted to justify his use of the
phrase by citing that it had been
in use for years and that it could
be found in some standard diction-
aries.
One of the citizens who protested
Bromfeld's poor taste pointed out
that there are many words and
phrases in the dictionary which no
sensible radio commentator would
dare use in a broadcast.
The sponsor Of the program on
which Bromfeld is appearing in
this section of the country is the

Sterling Club
Hears Members of
State Legislature

State Senators Orr, B. G. Novak,
Milton Lightner and Representa-
tive Roy E. Dunn were the speakers
at the Sterling Club, last Friday, on
the subject of Procedures in Legis-
lation." In the Minnesota Legis-
lature Senator Orr, who is the ma
jority leader of the State Senate,
gave the principal address and
Hammond Turner presided.
After the legislators had finished
their talks the meeting was opened
for question. Rev. Clarence T. R.
Nelson, pastor of the Camphor
Methodist Church and chairman of
the Twin City Equal Rights Bill
Co-ordinating Committee, asked
Representative Dunn, who is the
majority leader of the House, if he
would tell the audience who and
what was the opposition to the
Equal Rights Bill that was enacted
after a hard fight on the last day
of the session? James Hughes,
president Of the Sterling Club, OBJ
jected to the question and did not
want Mr.. Dunn to answer it. "The
speakers are here to speak on gen.
eral legislation procedures and this
question is too involved" Mr..
Hughes declared.
Mrs. Dwight T. Reed, ST., pro-
tested and asked that Mr.. Dunn
be permitted to answer the question
if he would. Rev. Nelson, who is
not a member of the Club, arose
and said, 81 withdraw the question"
However, Representative Dunn an
swered the question in a fashion, by
asserting that nobody had anything
against you" people, but certain
complications arose, etc. Maceo
Littlejohn, chairman of the Legal
Redress Committee of the st. Paul
Branch N. A. A. C. P, asked Mr..
Dunn what did he mean by Com
plications." Mr.. Hughes objected
to the question and Mr.. Littlejohn
withdrew it.

so because he is occupied in an
other army service.
In spite Of the strenuous and in
sistent argument to the contrary,
of Attorney Schwartz, Judge Nord-
bye dismissed the case. On April
81 Governor Stassen resigned from
that office to become a lieutenant
commander in the Navy to help in
the fight for the flour freedoms"
over the world. Observers, without
any attempt to speak i'll of his
patriotism, point out that the for
mer governor could have done much
for the strengthening of real free
dom and democracy in Minnesota
by repudiating the Army policy Of
discrimination and segregation, and
issuing an order to permit the en-
listment of Negroes in the Mime
sofa Defense force, without segre-
eating them into separate COM
panies. There are no Negroes in
the Minnesota Home Defense force
despite constant appeals for en-
listments.
In a meeting of the Minnesota
Negro Defense Committee at the
Halle @. Brown House, st. Paul, on
April II, a vote of thanks was CIV
en- to Mr.. Schwartz for his service
without pay in the Turpin case. A
report from Jose H. Sherwood,
treasurer of the Committee, showed
that there were $1O8.31 remaining
in the treasury on that date. The
Committee voted to allow $3.50
each to the Halle @. Brown House
and the Phyllis Wheatley House for
expenses of meetings and to divide
the balance of 1881 between the
Minneapolis and st. Paul branches
of the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People to
carry on the fight against dis
elimination.
The Minnesota Negro Defense
Committee wishes to thank all Of
the people who contributed to the
Lee Turpin case fund and voted to
continue its organization under the
leadership of Frank Boyd, the new
chairman. Other officers include
James Slemmons, vice-chairman,
James l. Rowland, secretary; Jose
H. Sherwood, treasurer; Rev. Clar-
enee 7, R. Nelson, publicity chair
man; Cecil E. Newman, chairman
Of the Legal Committee.

"A man cannot really have citi-

citizen. If the Negro will measure
up to equality, he will receive it.
Recognition then will be instinc-

you climb for the water. You must
not expect the law to hand it down

also asserted Lewis, a Negro, was
