['0n Approval
 Selected As Closing PIoy

Marriage always has been and al- ways VIII be a theatrical theme of universal interest. Frederick Lons- dale must have realized this when he wrote On Approval" for he most certainly produced a comedy of ex- ceptional interest. The play opened last night at the Theater- -the- Dale. New Milford, Conn, and will run through Saturday, the 31st, final week of the season.
 "On Approval, as 1t. title indi- cates, deals with the subject of trial marriage; but it deals with it from comedy rather than dramatic angle. MT. Lonsdale's famous and facile pen pokes fun at the society folk of London. He creates a situa- ticn that approaches the ludicrous, because of the type he selected for the people in, his play, and makes them dance the horn-pipe of merri- ment before he arrives at a happy ending.
 Four people-two men and two women-are directly concerned in the action of the plot. At the sug- gestion fo one of the women, who owns place in Scotland, they jour- ney north from London intending to spend week or so in the same locality and so determine if they are suited to become life companions.
 The play is probably best known today as the basis of the hilarious motion picture starring Beatrice Lil- lie and Give Brook, which the Gau- mont-British mpany recently brought to America; but it dates back to 1926 when it began it's suc- cessful run on Broadway.
 One may or may not believe in trial marriage, but everyone will en- joy watching MT. Lonsdale and the actors poke fun at it, society and many other things at the Theater- in-the-Dale this week.

Advancement
Seen In New
Wages Bill

WASHINGTON. .. C.--NNPA)
The new wage-hour bill favorably
reported last Thursday by the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee will result in giving larg
er number of colored workers
equal pay with white workers and
in raising their standard Of nv
ing.
Under its terms, all workers en-
gagged in any industry affecting
inter state commerce would re-
ceive a minimum hourly wage OF
65 cents or SIG for forty hour
week for the first two years, 10
cents IN hour or $28 a Week for
the next two years, and IS cents
an hour or $50 a week thereafter.
BROAD COvERAGES
Because of the broadended base
of the bill, a larger number OF col
ored workers are expected to be
covered by the act and to have
wiped out the wage differentials
between them and white workers
performing the same work
Senator Claud Pepper, Democra.
Of Florida, was responsible for the
amendment broadening the base
of the bill although southern Sen
ators will oppose the measure be-
cause ii will put wages of south
ern workers on The same scale as
those Of northern workers and
raise he wages of colored workers
to those of white workers in the
South.

Congress Asked
To Enforce
14th Amendment
NAACP Requests
Action In Light
OF FEPC Denial

WASHINGTON, ID. G. - In
the light Of the failure to enact
FEPC, and the Senate's resolu-
ton which seeks to reduce repre-
sentation Of states in Congress
where large numbers Of aliens
are counted in the population,
the NAACP last week renewed u
request that the Congress reduce
the representation of t tie S
where Negroes are denied the
right to vote.
In a letter to Majority Leader
John w, MacCormack and Minor
ity Leader Joseph w. Martin in
the House, the NAACP called for
the enforcement of Section 2,
Article XIV Of the Constitution.
The letter declared that, as an
example, the representation of
Mississippi in the House would
be reduced from z to d maximum
of 4 if the amendment were en-
forced elf we omit any refer
ence to women voters" the letter
said, tive find that according to
the census of 1910 there were
592,557 males in that state 81
years Of age and over.
REDUCE REPRESENTATION
eff the Congress would pro-
coed to enforce the above cited
section, the representation of
Mississippi in the House would
be reduced by approximately AZ
per cent. In varying degrees, the
same holds true for other states
where Negroes are Systematically
and deliberately denied the right
to VOTE"
Pointing out that the request
for enforcing the 14th Amend
nlent is not new, the letter de-
clared:
However. it seems particularly
pertinent now, since the Congress
has begun action looking to the
reduction Of representation be-
cause of the presence of non
voting aliens in the population
of a number of states. 1t is per-
tinent, also, because Of the cal
lous manner in which legislation
in which Negro citizens have
deep interest has been handled in
the Congress, even to the point
that these citizens have had to
endure bazen ISLANDERS and in
suits in public utterances of men,
bers Of the Congress.
Because Of the failure of
Congress to act ON the matter re
ferred to above, Negro Amer:
cans have little protection Of
