A dinner attended by one hun
dred Negro men, representing
every constructive element of Ne
gro Community life, was held in
honor of Mr.. Royal Brougham,
Thursday evening March Z, at the
East Madison Y. M. c. A. The
dinner was given as an attest of
the high esteem in which Mr.
Brougham is held by Negroes who
have known him for years. 1t was
a sincere and heartfelt express
sion of goodwill and gratitude to
a man who has written a sports
column in the Pacific Northwest
for twenty-five years, calling his
shots as he sees them, and giving
credit where credit is due regard
less of race, creed, color or ma
tional origin. Mr. Brougham' $
sports column in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer is read daily by
every real lover of clean sports

says that he has ever been other
than fair and impartial to every

in the heart-probably both. Many

HISTORIC LINCOLN DAY ADDRESS
ACLASSIC IN POLITICAL ANNALS
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
am happy to be here. and
honored that on an occasion so
dear to the hearts of all Ameri.
cans, you have asked me to be
one of your speakers. | am going
to talk about a question inescap-
ably associated with the name of
Abraham Lincoln, and the Repub-
lican Party-the question of the
Negro.
Now ii is traditional that politi-
cal orators begin their addresses
by trying to put their listeners in
good humor by telling what is
called a funny story. And since
my talk tonight has to do, as |
say. with a great political tradi-
ton it is right that | should open
with the traditional humorous
anecdote.
This one is about the American
Military Observer sent to Russia
to study Soviet plane production
and who was shown through Rus
sia's foremost plane factory. His
guide, a Russian General, while
highly extolling proletarian pro
duction records, showed the Amer
lean the assembly line filled with
planes as far as the eye could
reach. The American officer at
once observed peculiarly COM
mon to all the planes that he
could see. He turned to his Rus
sian brother officer, and asked
rather mischievously, But where
are the propellors? Haven't you
Communists solved that problem"
Whereupon the Russian general,
who knew quite as well as the
American this was an item only
the assembly belt of capitalistic
Detroit could supply, drew him
self up with a frown and replied,
And what about your Negro
problem"
1t is perhaps part of the per
yersity of human nature that we
find our funny stories funnier
when the gaiety is spiced with a
touch of sadness.
And if that is so, this should
be the funniest story of the eve
ming because-for proud Ameri-
cans, proud of the American way
of life-this story uncovers a deep
vein of sadness.

Mr.. Brougham, responding to
these testimonials, paid fine
tribute of respect to the late Sam

war, and among other things said
in part, During my life l have

ent people, including the late

ter of Ceremonies and Bruce Row

the conclusion of the affair, every

Mrs. c. Booth Luce Tells COP Go Back To Lincoln
WHEN A STRIKE
BECOMES REBELLION

The British government intends
to assume ownership and manage
ment of all British coal mines
during the next six months. One
American newspaper describes the
action as "Britain's most signifi.
cant advance on the road to social
ism during the first year of the
Labor regime"
In the comment that will arise
over the elimination of coal as a
private enterprise in England, the
usual remarks will be heard that
the men in the mines will never
know the difference. True, the
British coal miner will contiue to
get his pay. and for a time he
may not be conscious of the
change in his status. But eventu-
ally it will be borne home to him
that he is an employee of govern
ment, in a land which is setting
government up as a master instead
of servant.
The latter significant point
should net be overlooked by those
persons who continually point to
government employees in this coun.
try as proof that merely working
for government does not mean
slavery. Our government Is still
the servant. As an employer, it
Is still q comparatively minor In
fluence. However. add to It's pay
roll every American coal miner.
and the picture would become
grimly different. Our government,
too, would be well on the way to
becoming a master.
What would happen under the
new labor" government in Eng
land If John Lewis decided to
break the coal mine operators un.
less his demands were met? What
would happen if union organizers
decided to take over management
job by enrolling foremen into the
union, not hesitating to resort to
strike violence to gain their OBJ
jectiye. In England this would
now be none other than rebellion.
The violence would be against
government rather than recalci-
trant private employer. 1t would
be put down ruthlessly.
Fortunately in our country the
coal industry remains in private
hands. The miners can strike.
They can exploit their grievances
without being cast in the role of
fighting against government. They
can do this only so long as the
independence of private industry is
retained.

For Americans-as men of good
will in the wOrld-must forever
find themselves uneasily standing
on shaky ground in criticizing the
conduct of other nations towards
their minorities as long as our
own is vulnerable.
Is there something we Ameri-
cans would like to say about Rus

ton of liberty and freedom? Do
we hold a hard opinion of French

Maury County. Whatever is to
the outcome of the rails of a num-
Der of colored leaders, who were
languishing in Jail here Wednes-
day, the verdict of all unbiased
persons who will have gotten the
real facts that brought ON the
trouble which has been miscalled
race riot" will be that the
Jailed colored leaders acted in
self-defense, and had they been
white men they would have been
called alert and useful citizens,
instead of being smeared as Grim
inals.
There were about 70 colored
men in Jail Wednesday. Among
them were such well known Co.
lumbians as James Morton, UNI
dertaker; Solomon Blair and his
father, julius Blair, owners of a
drug store and other business
places on Eighth Street, and Rev.
Calvin Lockridge, Baptist pastor.
The understanding is that these
leaders are to be charged with
attempted murder" and if con-
yicted, will be sent to prison.
Their indictment, if any, will be
made by an all-white grand jury,
because, despite what the SUI
preme Court of the United States
has said, they have only all-white
grand juries in Maury County. If

Two Freighters Collide And Sink

MIAMI, Fla. (P) - Two smaif freighters collided and sank off Miami today and the Coast Guard began a sea and air search for about IT members of the two crews.
 First word of the accident came from the Caribbean trader Evan geloS, which flashed distress call a few hours after leaving Mi am; for Haiti for cargo of ba- nanas and other island products.
 The craft reported she was in collision with the freighter Marsi- dee, from Nassau, and was sink ing.
 Coast Guard rescue craft sped to the rescue in the Straits of Florida about 30 miles south of Miami,. but discovered no survivors.
 Erzen said first reports were that the Evangelos carried a crew of 10, and the Marsidee a crew of men.

 Charles D. Jones, recently cleo ted Senator of the Second Divi- sion, gave brief history of the Nome Harbor and present jetties and revetments, stating that the U. s. Engineers agree that the jetties are causing the beach erosion and it is problem for them to rectify.
 Dan Jones, son of Senator Jones, addressed the chair, and said, "I was born here" He continued: Even a hole looks good to you if you live in it long enough. If for the convenienceS of water, sewage disposal, health and sanitary con- ditions, I would favor moving to the Satellite Field"
 Others who were called upon either said they agreed with some one who had spoken before them, or had nothing to say.
 The meeting was adjourned fol- lowing a poll of opinion, on a question to move or not to move. A voted in favor of a move, and 19 voted not to move. About 200 persons were present.
