NEWLY ORGANIZED
JUNIOR ELkS

Under the leadership of Walter
o. Powell and Curtis Gray, the
Roger Romine Junior Elks Lodge
has been organized. Fifty young
boys were initiated on November
End.
The Lodge is named in honor of
Lieutenant Roger Romine, an Oak
land, California flyer, one of the
first Negro officers commissioned
from this area. He was a member
of an all-Negro Mustang group
credited with knocking down five
Nazi fighters. He was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross for ex-
traordinary achievement in aerial
flight. He also received the Air
Medal with seven Oak Leaf Clust-
ers. Lieut.. Romaine was killed in
action.
Mr.. Walter o. Powell, director,
and Mr.. Curtis Gray, herd Leader,
were chosen from the Senior Elks
to guide the destiny of these Jr.
Elks. Both are well qualified to do
a big job.
Mr.. Powell with his athletic
background, and Mr.. Gray being
versed in Music, there is promise
of a great future for the Jrs.
The two leaders have plans for
a well-rounded out athletic pro-
gram for the Junior Elks, which is
as follows: baseball, soft-ball, vol
ley ball, basket ball, drill teams and
a band.
They are desirous of having the
whole-hearted cooperation of the
parents of all the members in spon-
soring their program. The Junior
Elks organization is another step
forward for Phoenix Negro young
SterS.

Unions Now
Negotiating
Agreements

The Phoenix Building Trades
Council and the Arizona ASSOci-
ated General Contractors were
supposed to meet Tuesday, No
vember 10, to negOtiate-or ex-
tend the contract that has been
i'm effect for five years. During
all that time there has been
minimum of labor trouble. That
inefficient WOrImen have been
supplied by the unions is admit
ted, BUT the contractors needed
and wanted men. They were
mostly working on a cOst-plus
basis.
Monday-before the scheduled
meeting with the unions, the
contractors held an "Open" meet
ing of their own, at which reso-
lutiOnS from all anti-uniOn
groups in the state were read,
unfavorable publicity was given
against the unions. In other
words, the contractors dumped
the gun" and decided in advance
of their meeting scheduled to be
held with the unions in good
faith, what they were going to
do.
Therefore, the open letter by
President A. e. Williams states
very definitely labor's attitude.
The unions will abide by their
contracts to the letter, but when
ANY contractor hires ONE nom
union worker, he has hired a new
crew. The letter. follows. The

Gentlemen:
eve were informed yesterday
evening through the newspapers by
your labor committee of your in
tention of terminating the continu-
Gus contract we have had with
you since January, 1912. We noted,
of course, with surprise and sorrow
the hostility and Misrepresentation
in the statement your COMMITTEES
issued to the press on the eve OF
the start of negotiationS--an action
not designed to promote an atmos-
phere of give-andtake, so essen
tial and so necessary to genuine
collective bargaining.
''It must be apparent to you, as
it is to every fair-minded person
in this state, that the belligerent
statements released by your COM
mittee, coupled with their refer
ences to resolutions from labor
hating organizations, are form
of psychological warfare reminis-
cent of the tactics of the Nazis in
Hitler Europe. Every effort is be-
ing. made to confuse the issues
and you must know that your
committee is deliberately miSrep-
resenting the facts and so creating
an atmosphere in which honest
collective bargaining is impossible
Apparently you have decided tc
declare war upon us and through
such irresponsible propaganda
have us branded as enemies of So
ciety.

have had a contract with you fO1

The hunting season is in full swing in South E.st.r-

across an item of interest to all hunters. The ht = 49,

We urge that all hunters read the warnino m

than loaded ones.
This fall II, 900, 900 Americans will take to tho
fields or wodos to hunt. The National Rifle Assoc;st;on
having a vital interest in the subject of firearms faaIs
it is its duty each hunting season to warn hunters W
how to hunt with safety.
The NRA sees no reason for the hundreds Of HINT.
ing accidents many OF which bring death, that happen
each fall. For years the Association has kent q close
check on hunting accidents and can trace them all hack
TO sheer carelessness OF one type or another with ono of
the most inexcusable being-cIogged barrels.
No experienced hunter will ever admit he has been
guilty of a clogged barrel. That Just happens to the
n%eophyte who is out for the first time or the guv that
gets out one or two days a year. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. 1t could and does happen to the
crack huntsman as we'll as the ~neophyte.
The excitement of the hunt, the tracking of prev is
liable to make anybody careless. The hunter will he
walking through the mud, brush up against a tree or
crawl through a fence and accidentally clog the muzzIe
Of his gun. He then sights some game and fires before
he looks to see whether his barrel is free. BY not check
ing first to see if the gun is clear he not only takes a
chance of running the barrel of his weapon but he takes
a good chance of injuring himself. And, whenever nos
sible. remember to check from the breech end.
In the case where the hunter has been living in wait
fo- game he might lay his gun down. The barrel might
or might not come in contact with the ground. How.
ever, in all cases when picking it up again the hunter
should check his barrel to see that it is clear.
All hunters should get into the habit of checking
their guns periodically when in the field. 1t will help to
cut down accidents. In 1914, the last year for which
statistics are available, over two thousand accidents oc.
Cured. Many of them were caused by clogged barrels.
Therefore, get into the habit Of thoroughly clean
ing your gun every night. Check it constantly when out
hunting and help to cut down unnecessary hunting ac-
