committee in the Columbus area.
While in Little Rock I had the OPP
portunity of seeing my oldest Sis
ter, Mrs. Anna B. Hamilton; my
oldest brother, the Rev. ]. W. Mel
son, and my youngest sister, Mrs.
Maurice Waugh. My brother is the
presiding elder of the Helena Dis
trict in the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church and delegate to the
General Conference of his denomi-
nation which meets in Philadelphia
in May. His son, the Rev. Harold
Nelson of Muskogee, Oklahoma,
and his son-in-law, the Rev. A. j.
Lowrie, of Camden, Arkansas, are
also delegates to the A. M. E. Cen
eral Conference.
City One-third Negro
Little Rock, which is the capital
and largest city of the state, had a
population of 5000 in 1910, of
which about a third are Negroes.
It is a beautiful city and Negroes
have their share of beautiful homes.
1 think that Little Rock is the most
liberal of southern cities as far as
the relation of the races are con-
cerned.
DIR. M. L. Harris, president of
Philander Smith College, who has
travelled extensively over the south,
agrees with me in this opinion. In
1927 the fair name of the city was
besmirched with the brutal lynching
of Negro. He had been falsely
accused of attacking a woman and
his body was burned, after being
hung, in the center of the street at
Ninth and Broadway in the very
heart of the Negro business section.
l was then student at Philander
Smith College and remember very
well how the well thinking white
people of the city tried to make
amends for that horrible crime.
It was soon after this Incident
that the $5OO,OOO.OO Dunbar Junior
College and senior high school was
built for Negroes by the city of
Little Rock. The Dunbar Junior
College is one of the finest public

ability to vote. We know, for ex-
ample, that the poll tax prevents
10 million Negroes and whites from
voting. We know that registration
is not always freely permitted to
many of those who pay their tax.
The policy of the CIO is unmis-
takably clear on the poll tax ques-
ton just as it is clear on the SOL
der vote issue which affects more
than a half million Negroes in
arms. Mindful of all this, we say
with complete assurance and conf
dence that the Committee pledges
itself:
1. To urge every laboring Negro
who is able to do so to pay the re-
quired poll tax.
2. To seek protection both for
the registration of Negroes and the
casting of the ballots of those who
desire to exercise the right of fran
chise as American citizens.
8. To ask the support and well
come the cooperation of all Negro
groups and organizations who's e
programs at any point parallel our
own in terms of issues - and this
we believe approximates 100 per
cent - to the end that the respec-
tive programs may be fulfilled to
the greatest degree possible.
In the prosecution of this job,
we shall have the constant advice
and guidance of Willard S. Town
send, President of the United
Transport Service Employees of
America, and of George L. P.
Weaver, Director for the CLIO Ma
tional Committee to Abolish Dis
elimination.
Today we are engaged in a total
war. Nothing less than total or
ganization for victory can assure
us of a successful conclusion. La
Dor sees its task and intends to
meet it. Negro people are sharing
the burden and must share the vic
tory. To this the CLIO Political Ac-
ton Committee is squarely COM
mitted.

schools in the south for Negroes.
There are many incidents of the
fine relations between white and
Negroes of the city that 1 could
relate out of my experience as a
special correspondent for a white
daily paper, The Arkansas Demo-
crat. The Arkansas Gazette, which
was started in 1919, is the oldest
daily paper west of the Mississippi.
Great Business Center
Little Rock is a great center for
Negro business. Before the depres-
sion the Mosaic Temple, the four
story office building at Ninth and
Broadway, was outstanding. This
building was the home office of the
Mosaic Templars of America, a
large fraternal order, organized by
the Bush family. At one time a
theater was in the building, along
with the offices of many of the law
yers and doctors. But the depres-
sion took its toll and this monu-
ment to Negro business was lost, as
was the three-story Taborian Tenn
pie on Ninth and Gaines. The Cen
fury Life Insurance Company build
ing, on Ninth and Arch, is now the
headquarters of most of the pro-
fessional men of the city. The late
Judge Scipo Judge, who presided
at times in special sessions of the
Court, even in cases when all
involved were white people, had his
office in this building. There are
three Negro hospitals in Little
Rock. The laws of segregation and
discrimination of the south simply
forced the Negro to establish his
own places of business and that
they have done in Little Rock.
There are two first class drug
stores, two hotels, several grocery
stores, and of course many barber
shops and restaurants owned and
operated by Negroes in Little Rock.
Little Rock is an educational GEN.
ter. I have already mentioned the
city owned Dunbar Junior College.
There are two church related col
leges in Little Rock and one in the

and that they are improving their
buildings while this wartime pros
perity is on. This is truly a good
suggestion for all Negro churches.
On Saturday, January Is, at
tended services at the Seventh Day
Adventist Church in Little Rock.
The pastor of this church is Elder
S. A. Douglass, who was pastor of
the Beacon Light Seventh Day Ad-
ventist Church in Minneapolis for
five years before going to the Little
Rock church in 1912. Elder Doug
lass is quite we'll and sends his best
regards to his many friends in the
Twin Cities.
AS 1 said last week in my obser-
vations in Nashville, Negroes are
being treated so much better on the
railroads in the south. When left
Little Rock on Sunday night, in
company with DR.. W. H. Williams
of Detroit, we rode in chair car
to st. Louis. The car next to ours
which was occupied by white pas
sengers was not a chair car. A
white passenger seemed very glad
to come into our car and to take
a vacant seat when we got to Pop
lar Bluff, Mo. DR.. Harris told me
that Negroes are served in dining
cars all over the south now. This is
but a single bit of evidence that
the old South is slowly changing in
its prejudiced attitude toward the
Negro.
Prejudice Grows in North
This is good, but the thing that
worries me is the fact that preju-
dice seems to be increasing in the
north, east and west in our coun-
try. My friend, Irving Blumberg,
told me that Negroes are being
segregated and Disseminated
against by being forced to ride in
the back of buses in the state of
Washington. The management of
the Hotel Saint Paul had little
enough regard for the equal rights
bill of our state to refuse Roland
Hayes accommodations!

Read EN-, dear brother, read and weep,
Your two-bit gigs might've bought jeep,
No-hit drawings make you look quite somber,
WE'LL your 4-11-44 could've been bomber!
Nothing in the first five, nothing lower down,
A number or less, you'd have gone to town,
War stamps need no saddle yet never draw a blank,
And you're saving money while you buy tank
All your dollar spiders set to beat the racket
Put some Numbers Baron in higher bracket,
dollar on a war bondll put you in the chips,
But you can only weep thin white paper slips
Dream about black cat shouldn't make you idget,
It's something that you ate, correlated digit,
If you must believe in hexes like old Smokey Joe
fifty dollar bond puts a spell on Toxic.
The mustached little runt hiding in Berlin,
Every dollar wasted just helps to make him grin,
Every dollar in a bond quarter in a stamp
Can help to make him choke on his own Mein Kampf.
