Cardinal Mooney has been chair
man of the National Catholic Wei

period since 1888. The work Of the

N. c. w. c. has promoted a wide
variety of activities These included
the establishment of an interna-
tional news service for Catholic
newspapers. and a New Mexican
seminary for the training Of ma
tive priests for Mexico. One Of
its functions was the Legion Of

The N. c. w. C. also sponsored
industrial conferences in many Sec

completed war relief campaign coll

for starving peoples in Europe.
Mooney was born in Mt. Savage,
Nd, and moved to Youngstown, o.,
with his family when he was a
child. He received his early educa-
ton there. and was brilliant stu

he was to receive the Red Hat
has followed the Most Rev. Edward
Mooney.
His trip to Rome to receive the
scarlet biretta from the Pope,
was his first air voyage. His travels,
however. have taken him to assign
nents in many foreign lands.
Edward Cardinal Mooney came
to Detroit in 1887 as first metro
politan Of the newly Arch
diocese OF Detroit, coming from
Rochester. N. Y. diocese where he
had served for four years. For II
years previously he had been as
signed to foreign lands.
He had served as spiritual d.
rector of the American College in
Rome for 10 years. He was in India
as Apostolic Delegate for five years,
and in Japan as Apostolic Delegate
for two years.
He was the first American priest
TO be given the important diplo-
matte folio of an apostolic dele
gate. During his seven years in that
capacity he visited every Catholic
mission station in India and in the
japanese Empire.

three years nearly 100000 has
been raised for the Archdiocesan

In 1887, Henry, while living in
Omaha, Neb., was seriously burned.
For years, he took treatments and
tried to heal the burns, but in 1910
infection leading to gangrene set in,
and his leg was amputated. AL
though many a man might have
been discouraged by the loss, Davis
stuck to his shoe shine stand, saved
his money, and finally managed to
purchase an artificial leg.
Hard Luck Strikes
Bad luck, as it always does, hit
Henry Davis all at once. His wife
died, and then on New Years Day,
1914, a fire destroyed the little
home he had bought at 1430 Rice
street, and with it, the artificial leg
that he had worked so hard to buy.
He had delinquent taxes to pay.
Henry lost his faith in everybody
and everything.
o. C. Hall, well-known st. Paulite
employed in the Ramsey County
Auditors office in the city hall, de-
cided it was time for someone to
help Henry regain the faith he had
lost. Hall told his Sunday school
class at St. James AME church
about Henry, and the young people
began to canvass their friends and
neighbors in the community. The
st. James congregation, the first
Sunday it heard Henry's story from
o. c., started the ball rolling by
contributing twenty-six dollars
right off the bat.
Ray Trautman, the famous
"Mender Of Men," whose artificial
limb firm has supplied thousands
of handicapped persons, assisted
the campaign to get the $194 it
would take to provide Henry with a
new leg.
In eight days, the fund was COM
plete. Henry Davis, who had been
hobbling around with the aid Of two
sticks, is now using only one, and
in time he may do without that.
With the new artificial leg, he re-
gained new faith.
Hes just about the proudest
man you've ever SEEM" o. C. Hall
said, Tuesday.

ployment situation in the city in
regard to Negroes. Several men,
bers of the city council are known
to have expressed doubts that there
is any necessity for such a bill in
Minneapolis because there is no
discrimination here"
According to William SeabrOn,
industrial secretary of the Urban
League, the situation is daily
growing more serious all over the
country. In New York City, u.s.
900 veterans are jObless and re-
ceiving unemployment cOmpen-
satiOn. In Minneapolis, as in
other cities, SeabrOn said, agen-
cies are making no attempt to
remedy the situation, and Negro
veterans are becoming more and
more bitter from day to day.
Zone returned serviceman came
to US a few days ago so depressed
by his failure to find work that he
said there was no use going on"
Seabron said. Anyone who be-
lieves there is no discrimination
against Negro workers here should
spend few hours in this office"
The hearings are open to the
public and to any organization
which wishes to send represen-
tatives either as observers, or to
give testimony about cases in
vOIving job discrimination.

damage to two Minneapolis homes
this past week.
The Robert Chatham residence at

chased a month ago by Mrs. Chath-
am. Fifty-seven dollars in cash

to the bedroom TO get money to
make purchases at the grocery
store.
A FIRE starting in an upstairs hall
closet caused damage to the Will
liam Kay home at 374S Fourth Ave.
So, Sunday, February 3. Mr.. Kay
discovered the FIRE when he opened
the closet door to hang up q coat.
The blaze damaged clothing al
though Mrs. Kay and her daughter,
Martha, managed to get most Of the
wearing apparel out Of the closet
before 1t was hurt by the flames.
The roof Of the house also was
damaged.

Mass Meeting
Set in st. Paul
For Auditorium

"If the gains that were made by
Negroes in securing employment in
many places formerly denied to
them before the war are to be kept
and improved upon, it is very neces-
sary for the bill for a permanent
FEPC be passed by Congress-" the
Rev. Clarence T. r. Nelson, secre-
tary Of the Minnesota Council for a
Permanent FEPC, said Wednesday,
in issuing a call for all progressive
citizens Of st. Paul to support the
FEPC mass meeting to be held at
the auditorium, Wednesday, Feb.
10, at 8 p. m. A Phillip Randolph,
international president Of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Port
ers, will be the outstanding speaker
for the affair.
More than fifty church, labor, vet
Grams, civic, fraternal and inter-
racial organizations are co-operat-
ing with the Minnesota council in
sponsoring the meeting, which will
be the high mark Of the annual
city-wide Race Relation Week.
Music will be furnished by the
Temple Of Aaron choir and the
Halle Q. Brown glee club. A rep
resentative Of Mayor McDonough,
who is i'll, will bring greetings for
the city of st. Paul, and Mayor
Hubert Humphrey Of Minneapolis
will speak.
These mass meetings in the two
towns afford an opportunity for all
liberal-minded people, regardless Of
race, creed or color, to work and
make a real demonstration for pro-
posed national legislation that
would outlaw discrimination in en-
ployment against racial and re-
ligious minorities."

NAACP Asks End
OF Bias in Marines

WASHINGTON, d. c. (NNPA).
Elimination of race discrimina-
ton in the Marine Corps was urged
last Friday by Jesse o. Dedmon,
secretary of veterans affairs for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
In a letter to Secretary of the
Navy James v. Forrestal, Mr.. Ded-
mon said an investigation by the
Detroit Branch of the NAACP dis
closed that the Marine Corps quota
for Negroes was fixed at $500 and
at the time of the inquiry it was
accepting Negroes for the commits
sary branch only.
An additional restriction, he said,
was that the Marine Corps was not
accepting new enlistments Of Ne
groes but was accepting reenlist-
ments only.
