legislator shouted when he learned
from a newspaper poll that IL of
the assemblymen were "still study
ing" the bill. The poll disclosed that
"a out of the 43 assemblymen said
that they would vote for the statute.
Gov. Dewey favors passage of the
Ives bill, even though some of the
legislators resent the idea. A former
COP candidate for lieutenant-gov-
ernor, Sen. Frederic H. Bentecou,
announced that he is preparing an
amendment to the bill providing
that it is submitted to statewide
referendum.
Those who support the bill, how
ever, feel that the referendum idea
cannot demand enough support for
passage.

FIGHTS AMENDMENTS n. Y.
ANTI-DIsCRImINATIoN BILL

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 16 (ANP)
Too many amendments to the
Ives bill, is the contention of spon-
sors of the measure designed to out
law discrimination. Although the
bill is considered certain to pass on
Feb. 10 or 20 when it reaches the
floor of the assembly, and amend
ment will curtail it's effectiveness.
AS soon as the measure came be-
fore the ways and means committee
the penalty clause was attacked. An
effort on the part of committee
members to remove the clause, how
ever, was defeated.
According to Irving M. Ives, as
sembly majority leader and chair
man Of the temporary New York
State Commission against Discrim-
ination, this is not the end of an at
tempt to strike out the clause, and
although such a removal would
make it unlawful to discriminate
in employment, it would provide no
penalty for violation Of the law,
land then the whole bill would be
actually worthless" he said.
The statute is being blasted by
such forces as the New York Cham
ber of Commerce, the West Side
Chamber of Commerce in New York
and certain labor factions. Such or
ganizations are strong and exert
much power, especially when they
are coupled with the strength OF
outstanding labor bosses and up
state legislators, observers say.
The CIO, however, is all out for
the bill; the AFL has somewhat
straddled the fence, and the rail
road unions definitely oppose such
an action.
The public as a whole, Hulan E
Jack, Manhattan Democrat, anc
Leo Isaacson, Bronx leader of the
American Labor party, believe, is
exercising a spirit Of indifference
If they want the bill to pass, why
don't they correspond with theil
assemblymen and senator's, they
ask.

RECOMMEND CHRISTIANITY
and SOCIAL RESEARCH AS
CURE FOR RACIAL BIAS

-ChrlStlan1ty ana social research
were emphasized during two inter-
racial conferences here as remedy
for racial tensions.
Introducing the question, "Must
l Call Him Brother?" DR.. C. Oscar
Johnson, white, pastor of the Third
Baptist church of ST. Louis, stressed
the need for members of every race
to refrain from magnifying these
shortcomings of which another race
is not proud. He asserted that any
element of neglect or d ii S cas- e
spreads through society and urged
that it is imperative to make plans
now by which all men may live to-
gether.
After the war, Christianity may
have the greatest evangelical oppor-
tunity in it's history, declared the
Rev. James L. Horace of Chicago.
"The President and the nation have
gone all-out for war;" he said, "but
somebody must cry all-out for
peace. Why should we have slave
wages, sweat shops, bad housing
and sub-standard living conditions
when all we need is social research
and the spirit of Jesus Christ?'
'At a youth supper forum, repre-
sentattves Of three races discussed
What Kind of a World Do We
Want?" They were DR.. Harvey Cur
tbs Webster, English professor of
the University of Louisville and
president of the Union. for Action !;
DR.. T. S. Ledbetter, pastor of Ply
mouth Congregational church, and
DR.. Paul Hao, Chinese research
chemist at Joseph E. Seagram &
Sons Company. The interracial sup
per was sponsored by the Louisville
Council of Churches and the Young
People commission of Louisville.
DR.. Ledbetter said that labor had
made almost more progress in i'm
proving race relations in the last
decade than Christianity made in
the last 1000 years. The churches
should come to grips with the pres
ent situation, he said, then sug-
gested an organization here of
young peoples interracial vesper
services.
DR.. Hao explained that "science
can help bring about better living
conditions, but it cannot make men
good. What we need is a regenera-
tion of the spirit of Christianity.
Science can make the world into a
neighborhood, but only religion can
transform a neighborhood into a
brotherhood"
The churches are seriously at
fault in failing to bring Christian
ity much more into everyday life,
DR.. Websetr said. 'The spirit of
Christianity is a wonderful thing"
he declared, "but the practice of it
is even better"

The wife of a railroad man returned
from a trip covering five states,
which took seven weeks, and had
this to say: In all the cities, she
didn't see but two men to equal the
men in the Twin Cities, in looks,

she is pretty content to spend the
rest of her life in St. Paul. How's
that?

That game out to Lexington,

weather. Blankets was all that was
needed.
Ask the waiter "a. c. with the
bad eye, how he got it. Better still,
ask his wife. Some men just won't
behave.
Did you notice the chain twirler,

NAACP Member Drive
By Laura G. Gaskins

The membership drive of the Min

the personnel.
Wendell C. Jones, president of
the branch, has expressed his ap-

Barons are coming up this way for
a series with the powerful Chicago
American Giants.

standings, the Black Barons and
American Giants clash Tuesday
night, June IL, at Lexington Park
in st. Paul; Wednesday night, June

apolis.
Manager W. S. WEIGH, Birming-
hams great pilot, who led the West
to victory over the East in the last
two all-star classics at Comiskey
Park in Chicago, has another great
team in this years Black Barons.
The pitching staff is one of the
greatest in colored history with
Johnny Markham, Al Sayler,
Schoolboy Newberry, Alvin Gipson,
Earl Bumpus, Johnny Huber and
Alonzo Boone on hand. Pepper Bas-
sett, formerly with the Cincinnati
Clowns, and Herman Bell handle
the catching.
Lorenzo ("Piper') Davis at first
base, J. B. Spencer at second, Art
Wilson at short and Johnny Brit
ton, formerly of the Minneapolis
st. Paul Gophers, and an outfeld
of Lester Lockett, Ed Steele and
Roy Phelps round out the great
1915 edition of the Birmingham
team.
Now in its fifty-ninth season, the
Chicago American Giants are a
feared aggregation. "Candy Jim"
Taylor is back as manager after
leading the Homestead Grays to the
National Negro League crown the
last two years.
The American Giants are strong
at every position. The pitching
staff has Gentry Jessup, the
leagues best Highlander; Walter
Mccoy, sensational newcomer from
California, who recently won three
straight over the Kansas City Mon
archs, and veterans Willie Cor
nelius, Lefty Shields and Ollie
West. Herb Barnhill is one of the
leagues top catchers.
Chicago lines up strongly with
Henry Mccall at first, Wilbur King
at second, Ralph Wyatt at short,
Jesse Douglas at third, Art Penn
ington in left, Jimmy Crutchfield
in center and John Smith in right.
Pennington led the league in home
runs in 1913. Smith was the top
hitter in the circuit last season.
Other good men available are
Johnny Bissant, Clyde Nelson, Sam
Jackson and Ollie Walden.
These are games the fans will
talk of long afterward. It is Ne
gro American League baseball at
it's best.

-mest hard!
There were many solid exhibit
items and they were all fine. There
was archery, shown by Oscar
Brown and Robert Patterson. The
class is headed by Robert Patter-
son. They also had a boy carrying
the arrows known to many as
Prince Albert Jones, alias Dizzy.
There was dancing in a most digni-
fled way by Carmen Allen, Doris
White, Louise Cuff, Mable Seaton,
Dolores Beasley, Audrey King and
Jacquiline Cuff. The instructor is
Tiny Brown.
There was also a groovy affair in
boxing, given by that hard hitting
Daniel Davis and that swinging cat
Charles Ellis. Harry Davis is the
instructor. There was also tumb-
ling, drum and bugle corps. After
the show there was red hot dance.
Oh, yes, even some of the parents
visited the Ell Maestro Canteen.

hasn't had a pro PERCY VILLA
boxing show in nearly 10 years and
that goes for st. Paul, too. .. But
as l said in the above lines these
are unusual times you'll have
to believe me and perhaps I can
prove it.
Unusual times-did you know that
Tony Stecher, a few years ago, was
ready to shut his wrestling shows
and less than two years ago when
he took out the boxing franchise
was told by his friends of the Sc
rious mistake he's making in get
ting into the fight business. So
that his friends and you may know,
Stecher during the past five months
with his wrestling and boxing drew
over 100000 gross at the box Of
flee.
Last fall when Stecher first went
into the boxing business, many
asked him, "Where are you going to
get the fighters ?" also, it will
cost you a fortune to hang on for
the duration and questions like that
by the dozens. Many thought
that when gas rationing came in
that was the death kiss for sports
events and everyone wondered what
Stecher would do next to earn his
three meals a day. Jackie
Graves came along and perhaps
many will say saved the game for
this city.
Tonight (Friday) at the st. Paul
auditorium, Eddie Williams, per-
sonaity plus, makes his debut as a
fight promoter. With the cap
able Billy Colbert by his side as
matchmaker I can't see how this
combo will miss. The card as
whole looks like money in the
bank as from this corner all that
the promoter is interested in is Civ
ing the fans enough thrill so that
they will come back again and
again. It will be nice to see fights
in st. Paul again. The thrillers
I'll never forget. The champs
and the near champs that st. Paul
has turned out is something that
city should really feel proud of. =.
