he took the Grand Mastership in
1882 the Grand Lodge had only
two thousand Masons in the state.
The number has increased under
his leadership to Thirty Thousand
Master Masons. He is the found

Although he has wrapped his

Federal Judge George Bell Tim
norman last Friday signed an or
der for a bench warrant against
Police Chief Lynwood l.. Shull
of Batesburg, who had been charg-
ed by the Justice Department
with binding Isaac Woodland,
veteran.
Shull was expected to come here
from Batesburg voluntarily and
post $4,000 bond. Batesburg is
only thirty-two miles from here.
Shull told reporters last Thurs
day that Woodland apparently had
been drinking and that a black
lack was used when the ex-sold-
Ter became unruly. Shull said:
81 hit him across the front of the
head after he ATTEMPTED to take
away my blackjack. / grabbed ii
away from him and cracked him
across the head
ShuIl conceded that the blow
may have landed on Woodward's
eyes. because they were swollen
the next day when he was brought
before Mayor H. e. Quarles in
Recorders court, where he paid
fine of $50.
Woodland later was nauseated
and complained about his stomach
and eyes, Shu1l said. After
doctor suggested he should be
taken to a hospital, Shull said he
drove him to the veterans hos
pital here.
81 was no harcher than was
necessary to complete the arrest, ;"
Shull said
Because Woodland was still in
uniform at the time of his arrest,
Shull said he reported the Incl
dent to an agent of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, adding
that "after they investigated they
told me to keep quiet about H.
F'BI agens later questioned him
about it, Shull said, but did not
indicate any action would be
taken.
Woodland was discharged from
the veterans hospital here April

Supreme Court Has
Settled Question .
OF Segregation

Washington, d. c., -(NNPA)-
The question of segregation on
the basis of race of interstate pas
sengers has been settled by the
decision of the Supreme Court in
the Irene Morgan case with re-
spect to railroads as we'll as bus,
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the District of Column
bia ruled in reversing a decision
of the District Court
Applicability of Jim Crow stat
utes to interstate passengers on
railroads was raised in a suit for
damages for breach of contract
and collation. of their rights as
such passengers brought by Ralph
Matthews of the AfrO-American
Newspapers, William J. Scott, a
photographer, and the Rev. Will
liam H. Jernagin, president of the
National Baptist Young Peoples
Union, against the Southern Rail
way System.
The trio bought tickets in Phila-
delphia for travel to Greensboro,
North Carolina, on a Southern
Railway train. Their tickets call
ed for through seat reservations
for specified seats in specified
cars.
They boarded the train in Phil
adelphia and occupied the speci-
fed seats. At Alexandria, Va, and
again at Charlottesville, the train
conductor and other members of
the train crew requested them to
move to the Jim Crow car which
was put on in Washington. They
refused.
Agents of the railroad notified
the police of Lynchburg, Va. At
Lynchburg, a police officer board
ed the train The conductor
pointed out the trio defying the
Virginia Jim Crow law. The of
ficer asked them to move. They
refused. TIE then told them they
would have to get off the train.
They got off.
The agents of the railroad and
the policeman claimed they were
acting in accordance with the Vir-
ginia statute which required that
railroads operating in that state
furnish SEPARATE cars for white
and colored. passengers and make
it a misdemeanor for any COM

IT. LOUIS, Mo. (NNPA)

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (NNPA) =
Three-quarters of century OF
deliberate economic discrimlna-
ton and exploitation has not only
kept the South poverty-stricken
but is responsible for the hate,
greed, prejudice, discrimination
and exploitation of human beings
that exist there, Edgar Ray, man.
aging editor of the Tampa Daily
Times, declared last Friday at a
luncheon meeting sponsored by the
National Urban League as a part
of its annual conference.
"The comparatively few South
erners who have Jared well under
forced servitude do not want
changes in the colonial pattern"
Mr.. Ray said. "They are either
long-entrenched landlords or good
servants to their absentee masters.
They best get along with cheap
labor, white or colored. They can
hold on longer when they can hold
back education, stir class against
class, race against race" Con-
tinuing, he said:
"They are subtle. these enemies
of the South within its borders.
They influence political stooges
to pirate about white supremacy,
to throw bugaboos about job Sc
curity and to stir passions. You

Rankins, the Talmadges, the hood
ed towards of the Ku Klux Khan.
And unfortunately in too many
places because of the conditions
created by poverty, minds are fer
tile for cultivation by these bias
phemers of the American Greed.
Mr.. Ray urged that the National
Urban League work to end econo-
mic and political discrimination
against the South. AS one means
of doing this he suggested that
the League tell politicians in
Washington to equalize freight
rates, to give federal aid of any
sort on the basis of need, and to
put an end to the idea that the
South is the No. 1 economic prob
lem.
Lifting of economic barriers, he
argued, would be "the greatest
single contribution to the welfare
of the great majority Of Negroes
in the United States.
Mr.. Ray said there is a growing
list of people of good will in the
South. "You will find them," he
said, Gin newspaper offices, in
radio stations, in colleges and
universities. in the ministry, in
social services and other fields,
including business" As an ex-
ample, he cited the fact that near
ly go per cent of the editors of
Georgia opposed the election of
Eugene Talmadge as governor of
that state, and added that "even
in Mississippi some editors start
ed awakening the people to the
demagoguery of Rankin and Bill
b."
The building trades unions in
st. Louis were the subject of dis
cussion last Friday morning. John
T. Clark, local league executive,
declared that reports from the
deep South show a greater will
ingness to let colored people work.
He said that New Orleans with
its racially mixed unions, and
Tampa, with its slim Grow auxil-
iaries" were still, ahead of ST.
Louis, which has neither.

Mark Ethridge, Famed Editor, Native
mississippian Says South Must
Realize 1t Is Economically iii
CAN HAVE NO REAL DEMOCRACY WITH POLL TAX
AND WHITE SUPREMACY

Speaking before the Executive
Club from, an address prepared
for delivery here last Thursday
night, Mark Ethridge, native Mis-
sissippian, famed editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, of
Louisville, KY, one of the South's
and the nations leading daily
papers; who was recently sent to
observe and report on the pro-
gress of Democracy in Europe by
Secretary of State Byrnes, said
that the south must realize that
it is economically i'll and that it
can have no real Democracy with
Poll Tax and White Supremacy.
Mr.. Ethridge, a native of Meri-
dian, declared that much of the
South's natural resources had been
wasted and that much of its popu-
lation had migrated to other sec
tions of the country because of
the better economic opportunities
offered.
"But whatever the nation does
for the South as a matter of
justice" he said, "the people of
the south must made the major
contribution to the economic and
cultural Renaissance.
''There is no medicine that will
be good for our economic ills until
we in the south become convinced
, that we are economically i'll. Be-
fore anything much can be done
about it there must come to the
South recognition that her cotton
market as a world market in the
old sense is gone forever and that
she must adjust herself to a new
economy.
"There must come, moreover,
the recognition that she does not
have within herself the resources
TO care for the people who are
being displaced in the transition"
Ethridge added:
"There must come to the South
the recognition that, her tax
structure has been failure in
that its base rested upon the land
to which we have done sch
frightful things.
"'There must come to- the South
the solemn recognition tha- her
civilization cannot exist upon low
wages and the economic subje3tion
of a. race
''There must come to the South
the recognition that she will never
have a read democracy i. a. long
as she denies helf hcr population
White and Black, tie right of
franchise through such measures
as the poll tav and white sup
remacy.
"There must come to the South
/ the recognition that she has so
exhausted her physical resources
that she must have outside help
in rebuilding them.
GIN short, there must come to
the South the recognition that
pride is no substitute for bread,
for education, for the minimum
benefits of civilization, and that
to obtain these we must call upon
the rest of the nation not only
for justice but also for help.
Ethridge referred to the cleo
tions in Mississippi and Georgia
this year as "the lowest form
of demagoguery and cowardice in
that they were pitched upon the
barest human passions, hatred of
a minority"

clans as vastly ignorant of eco
