Seafarers Settle
After Wage Farley

New York (LPA)-The Seafar-
ers Int'l Union-AFL won years
contract with increased benefits for
10000 of its members from the
Atlantic & Gulf Ship Operators
Assn last week.
After prolonged negotiations the
STU and the operators reached an
oral agreement providing for a 5qo
wage boost, nine paid holidays at
sea, a weeks vacation with pay
after one year of service and two
weeks each year thereafter.
Although only 10000 of the un-
ions members are directly reached
by this contract with the Associa-
tion representing nine major COM
panies, Schuler estimates that it
will indirectly benefit $4,000 more
AFL seamen on all coasts.

LayOff Rate In April
Up For Some Industries

Washington, d. C. - According
to a report from the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, layoffs are on the
upswing in manufacturing. The re-
port discloses that in April a
"sharp rise" occurred in the num-
ber of workers dropped in radio
manufacturing, furniture plants,
textile mills and other industries.
Job opportunities have also de-
clined, the department said. Avail
able openings, it explained, are
"largely limited to hiring for re-
placement purposes and for sea-
sonal expansion in some fields"

Distinguished Tenor
Will Appear Here

It's a long, long journey from
the red hills of Gordon County,
Georgia, to the palace of King
George the Fifth. It's a long way
from the Iron foundry of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. to the mansion of the
Queen Mother of Spain. It's long
way from the son of a slave
mother to a position of world re-
nown in song. But, you have made
the journey and you made it with
quiet dignity, unaffected manner,
and sane humility.
Born in a world where few, if
any Negroes, had ever gone high
er than the minstrel show, and in a
section of the country where OBJ
stacle after obstacle was laid in
your path, you have demonstrated
again that human nature is un-
predictable and that it cannot be
catalogued."
Mr.. Hayes is also the recipient
of an honorary degree-Doctor of
Music - conferred upon him by
Ohio Wesleyan University at Della
ware, Ohio.
The reason for these distinctions
which have been accorded Roland
Hayes may be seen in this honest
statement of his artistic perspec-
tive: early in my preparation for
professional singing, my mother
helped to cure me of merely sing
ing when she so emphatically ad-
vised that listeners want to hear
what one is singing; they want to
understand the words and their
message once the singer has
absorbed the message and spirit of
a song, then with no thought
about the display of his own indi-
-viduality, he must so sing the song
that each listener will catch its inn
port -. The hearer must be made
to feel >. the singers own con-
tribution to music and to life. The
singer must have found and de-
veloped a message and spirit for
himself and for his singing-o
which he desires, above all other
considerations, to get across to his
listeners"

to friends for comfort and kindness

in her letter:
much credit is due the Veterans
Administration, supported by the
press and radio, for their untiring
efforts to impress veterans with
the Importance of retaining their

Fatf Sheet For The
1947 National Negro
Health Week

National Negro Health Week
was founded in 1915 by Booker T..
Washington, eminent Negro educa-
tor and leader, in order to stress
the health needs of his race and to
encourage the Negro to take ad-
vantage of existing health facilities
in bis community.
After his death the Health Week
movement was carried on at Tus-
kegee Institute and Howard Uni
verSity. Since 1882, however, Health
Week has been a part of a year
round program of the United
States Public Health Service. Ma
tional Chairman is DR.. Roscoe c.
Brown, Chief of the Office of Ne
gro Health Work of the Public
Health Service.
In 1916, 10000 communities in 36
States participated in a National
Negro Health Week that stressed
"a healthy home in a healthy COM
munity." The emphasis this year
is on the responsibility of the citi-
zens and local agencies and organ
izations in making a better and
healthier community.
Status of Negro Health
The Negro has shared in the Ma
tons health progress. Both col
ored and white mortality rates
have declined. In 1910 the colored
rates for deaths from all causes
were approximately SO percent
higher than white rates, while in
1914, they were less than 33 1/3
percent higher. On the whole the
present rate of decline of Negro
mortality is encouraging, particu-
larly at ages under Is years.

the famous Manchu dynasty, the
last to rule China before the coun-
try became republic, lasted
from 1914 to 1912. During those
years China tried hard to live
apart from the rest of the world,
but in the end Europe forced her
to open her doors.
For thousands of years, the Chi
nese had been living in a world
of their own. Their emperors had
come to think of themselves as
rulers of the earth. Consequently,
they utterly refused to receive the
representatives of Western powers
unless they came as vassals bear

Nor did closer contact with Eu-

Chinese for all foreigners. Many

spread Christianity among the
Chinese, though China had a high

at nothing to win their ends.

There were abuses, such as bri-
berry and corruption. At the same
time, local government in the prov
inces went on with little regard
as to what took place in Picking.
This fact and the unwillingness OF
the court to entertain new ideas
made impossible a strong central
government, able to fit the coun-
try into the modern age.
During most of these troubled
years, the real power on the
throne had been the Dowager EN-
press, a staunch foe of progress.
At her death in 1908, a young child
was placed on the throne. Dissat-
i~sfaction spread widely among the
people. In 1911, a revolution took
place and the Manchus were
forced out. China declared itself
a republic in 1912, with Yuan Shin

dent. Great as had been the

COUNCIL TO AMEND
INSURAN nee LAW
Council Tentatively Ac.
cepts Cab Company's
Check For $10,500

The city's ordinance governing
taxicab liability insurance will be
amended at next weeks council
meeting to accommodate new
methods of handling insurance by
local cab companies.
The proposal for next weeks
session came after the appearance
yesterday before the city fathers
of John Stevens, attorney for the
Yellow Cab company.
A week ago the company had
sent the council a check for $40, 500
in place of liability insurance for
its approximately 20 cabs. Yes
terday the concil tentatively &C.
cepted the check and promised to
60 ahead with amending the ordi-
nance in order that the check
could properly be handled.
Stevens explained that the COM
pany had experienced difficulty
in obtaining polciles from first
class insurance firms at reason
able costs.
Under the new proposal the cab
company would be its own in
surer.
The $10,500 or any part OF it
would be paid out in court actions
if accidents should occur in the
handling of passengers by the
company.
