Speakers Offer
Opinion on What
the Negro Wants

NCOnClnueQ from rage ~
unionism is in the Negro" He said
tendency of Negroes, especially
educated ones, to leave the church.
He suggested that since the Negro
is essentially a consumer that he
should support consumer co-opera-
tives.
William Heron took exception to
Rev. Moore's contentious and de-
clared, Negroes must have jobs!
Negro Wants Same AS Any
body Else
On the question "What the Ne
gro Wants." Mr.. Johnson, the mod
orator, declared that the panel had
decided that "the Negro wants the
same things anybody else wants. |"
A piano duet was given by Olga
Anderson and John Whitaker. The
program was planned by the Edu-
cation Committee of the Branch,
of which Miss Elizabeth Moore is
the chairman.
A committee composed of Louis
P. Moore, ST., Miss Pearl Martin
and Mrs. Carrie Robertson was
named to collect money for Free
dom House, which will be purchased
by several liberal organizations as
memorial to the late Wendell L.
Willkie, in New York City. Twenty
persons at the meeting gave a dollar
each toward the project. Five per-
sons also contributed a dollar each
for a scholarship to be given by the
local branch for a representative
of the branch to attend the course
in Negro History to be taught at
the University of Minnesota by Mr..
Robert Johnson.
The incident of Elliot Roose-
velt's dog getting an "a" priority
rating and dumping" three white
soldiers from transcontinental air
plane recently, was mentioned. The
president of the Branch suggested
sending a telegram to Senator
Bridges, who is asking a Congress
sional Investigation in the "dog
priority incident" and urging the
Senator and others to become
aroused about the continued mis-
treatment of Negroes in the armed
forces of the Nation. The Execu-
tive Committee of the Branch was
ordered to make plans for a mass
meeting to protest the conviction of
fifty Negro sailors in the Port of
Chicago incident "mutiny" trial.

most encouraging requests 1 have
ever read of. The boys out here
all agree with me that it showed
that they are conscious of the dan
ger that confronts them and are
willing to do something about it if
the older people will help them.
Heretofore there has been lot
of talk and suggestions but not
much DO in the whole matter. So
why not put this one in front of
that one and get things moving?

The weapon was a word,
It left my soul untuned,
I wish l had not heard.

Six letters had me baited,

A barbed and poisoned arrow,
The sickening word without pause
Was hurled by one unkind and mar.

go out Of style while she is crossing

I have friend who worked
nights in a jute mill last year in
order to buy his wife a nice coat.
1t was pretty coat, warm, and
with a touch of underarm of mink
on the collar. She was proud as
could be of it, as was her husband,
and he was confident that she was

concerned.
Can She Wear It?
The coat is as good as new this
