charged with the murder. The
sheriff said Powell was released

It is believed that Mrs. Powell

Wednesday morning. She was the

slayer and was an eye witness to
the shooting. 1t was reported that
Mrs. Powell testified against her

GENERAL WALKOUT
LOOKED FOR TODAY

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 81. -P)-
A general walkout by the United
Mine workers 400. 900 members
apparently was under way today
in the nations soft coal fields.
1t was spearheaded by voluntary
work stoppages which idled ap-
proximately 140, 900 miners in 10
states the past three days.
The zero hour was Wednesday
midnight, the time set by President
John L. Lewis of the union for
termination of the unions contract
with the government. In the lam
guage of the miners, expiration of
a contract means there would be
no work.
Most miners start work at day
light hours, hence it remained to
be determined whether all would
lay down their tools, but every
thing pointed to a complete stop
page.

out at Pittsburgh area mines by
failing to enter the pits because
their shifts would run beyond the
midnight hour.
The stop-work movement rolled
across the coal fields yesterday,
and mounting thousands joined
sta%y-at-home miners who gave the
movement its inception in Pennsyl-
vania on Monday.
Although there were som e
miners reluctant to quit work be-
fore Christmas, workers question
ed in Pennsylvania and West Vir-
GINA fields. generally agreed that
whatever happens the boys will
stick together"

in position to exercise your fran

registered voter.
In some parts of our country,
Negroes are denied the privilege
OF voting because of poll taxes

No matter where you are from

a citizen of the United States,
of voting age, and a resident of
the State of Washington for one
year, you are eligible to vote.
October 18th is the last chance
to register before the general

register on the first floor of the

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to take this opportuni-

of those who contributed their
sympathy and heartfelt wishes to
Baby John Doe last Tuesday, Oc-
tober 1st.
Among those we thank are
Mrs. Lee Chase. who sang the
lovely lullabys; Mrs. Donald Gayt-
wood, who accompanied her on
the organ; Miss Katie Adams and
her group of contributors; the
members of the Charmerette club,
the members of the N. NJ. C. & S.
Aux; and the unknown contribu-
tors; also members of the A.M.E.
Church.
We also wish to thank Rev.
Chappelle for his lovely and
touching words, also the very ap-
propriate poem.
Last but not least, we wish to
thank Mr.. E. l. Robinson for his
well expressed words which we
know were felt by one and all OF
us.
Although offers were made, no
other contributions were accepted,
save those named.

complain, criticise or condemn the
manner in which the affairs of

who care for themselves and their |
posterity will register and vote.
