Congress of the United States in honorng the late Dr. George
Washington Carver famed Negro scientist of Tuskgee nst
tue in whose honor January 9Th each year beginning with
the Year 1916 has been designated Carver Day..
To attempt to cataog the scientific discoveries and the
conferred upon because of the greatness of
his work and contribution to the well being of mankind in
such writing would be but to repeat what has become the
knowledge of people of ordinary intelligence of both
throughout the state throughout the nation and IN the
more distant and remote corners of the world.
Though the fruits of his labors have benefited man.
kind throughout the entire world the South which has
been the directly benefited 1t for the South for
which Carver abored the most to help 1t the South
which owes Dr. Carver the greater debt of gratitude
Great beyond the material values OF DrCar
ve contributions the welfare of mankind throughout the
world in general and the South in particular Greater still
is the spirit which guided him in his efforts spirit whcn
finds its counterpart in the eternal doctrine that nou snail
love thv neghbor thy SELF and in the Christian idea and
ideal of the fatherhoo of God and the OF man.
In the annual observance of Carver Day. Southern

TO close the door Of economic OPP

their race, is to succomb to the
very evil we all fought against
The merits Of their case seems

"One Of the great gains of Amer
can Democracy during this war
was the widening of opportunities
for employment won by Negroes. 1t
would be a grievous injustice and
grave tragedy to many thousands
of our citizens If these opportuni-
TUNES should be taken from them.
[, therefore, strongly urge you and
the Civil Service Commission to
take whatever steps are necessary
to keep open employment oppor-
sunities for our Negro employees
when they are no longer needed

lation Of their own Government.

Attention. Veterans!

What newspaper speaks of the "SIT-DOWN STRIKES pulled by industry? You just can't think of can you At this critical time when many veterans are returning from the war; urgently need all sorts of goods there is general TDOWN STRIKE by all types of industry Look your various textile mills for instance last fall they held back the sale of goods until the start of new fiscal and tax year. This move was to escape the ex profits tax.
 What about these large corporations and companies who abusingly tantalze yes, invite labor to srlkethey can we'll afford to do just that because this they are wag ing on labor financed by the government that you and every veteran fought to speaking of the taxreund authorized by Congress- that companies could reconvert swiftly to peaceme production But this tareund is used to destroy and abuse rights of labor he government guarantees profit to these con- panes for the next two yearsD
 Of course the tactics used by companies such as holding up goods to reap profits when the tax removed not ega-but is reprehensbe and under existing con- don consider damn unpariotic-and in the cate gory draft-dolger.
 And who in heavens responsible for Congress ever passing bill allowing corporations and companies bi lions dollars in tax-eund purpose of which was to hurry these companies back into peaceme productions of which they guaranteed profits for two yearsbut so seems this bill did restrict such companies to this weapon further abuse harass subject and shacke labor As veteran it is your duty to sef comrades-and who died to preserve this free country to write your congressman and representatives mpormg them to have such bill dissolved.
