Continued Attack On Industry
Draws Fire From APT President

LOS ANGELES, Calf, April 80.
Warning that the oil industry
is now engaged in a fight for life
itself, American Petroleum 1nsti-
tute President Frank M. Porter
called on every oil man in the land
today to "speak up :. with all our
might and all our courage :.
while we still have the time"
Iii an inspiring speech that bris-
tied with resentment against the
constant assaults on petroleum,
Porter defended the industry's
proud record Of progress and &C
complishment and laid down a six
point program for all oil men to
follow if they are to overcome the
perils threatening them and the
country.
The APP president, in an ad-
dress before the semi-annual meet
ing of the Independent Petroleum
Association of America, bluntly
told the gathering of Independent
producers that "for the sake of
the industry, and it's future, for the
private enterprise American sys-
tenn that we all cherish, we must
all speak-and speak boldly and
plainly in defense of the oil bust

The law won't put you in Heav-
en-, it is the love of God.
Every house we dedicate to God
1t does not belong to man
Yet the Preacher he will claim
Gods house
And stir up He'll from land to land.
If we would take the law out of
Gods house
And take Christ life to guide us all
We would all be Gods children
And Christ brothers and sisters
when he call.
For SO years he made everything
plain
He shed his blood for the white and
black
He said for us to love We one
another
He was our brother, is this a fact?
If we won't obey the teachings of
Christ
And looking for Gods Heaven
You might as well pack and turn
around
You are doomed to He'll.
You are building the House of
Worship
And defeating it to Christ
Then pull the law back in Gods
house
And claim you are living holy
life.
You come claiming holy life
With spotless life as we'll
Some must have fallen in a tub Of
tar
Some are spotted as the door of
He'll. :.
Take the law out of Gods house
And allow the love of God to abide
We have to obey the will of God
There is no place in He'll to hide.
Christ sent out 70 we are told
Yet | never did learn their name
They came back finding fault you
see
That sound like some of our shame.

ness" He declared:
"We are not fighting for any
temporary or modest goal. This
industry is fighting for its life.
Nothing less than that. Our most
active and outspoken critics leave
no doubt about their detectives.
They are in lynching mood. Their
aim is the complete naturalization
of oil and all its workings"
"Not only that" he continued,
1--WE are fighting for much more
than our industry alone" He said,
eve are fighting for freedom it
self against those who would en-
gulf us with creeds that have
brought more misery to the world
than all the plaques of the Middle
Ages"
Pinpointing the reasons behind
the attacks on petroleum, President
Porter said "outstanding achieve
ment has made us conspicuous . ". F.
just as a steeple rising high on
the landscape attracts lightning,
the oil industry attracts the wrath
of those who recent success-most
especially the success of the
American free enterprise system"
He pointed out that American
enterprise, in it's own right, "is a
giant of initiative and strength,
keen Of mind and clear of vision,
but with one physical defect; it's
tongue-tied." He said tour critics
and detractors can't match us any,
where else, but one thing they can
do: talk rings around u.s."
This campaign of denunciation
is a problem not only for petrol
cum, but for all industries, Porter
said. Quoting the Biblical phrase
that there is "a time for silence,
and a time to speak," Porter ac-
knowledged that the industry has
no single voice, but that individual
Gil men can speak up in voices so
loud that "they can be heard above
the incessant din of our critics"
He declared further:
"A militant industry, modified
for self-defense and ready to speak
out forthrightly against any un-
fair attack, is the best hope we
have of stopping these attacks.
For when our critics know we are
prepared to meet their onslaught,
whatever form it may take, when
they know their falsehoods will be
thrown back in their faces by the
resolute action Of a united petrol
cum industry, they will lose much
Of their enthusiasm for bouncing
on u.s."
Asserting that this "is not a
lob for just the public relations
SPECIALISTS, but for every oil mar"
Porter stated:
ssThis industry has never been
cowed by an challenge. It's daily
operations are characterized by
holiness, vision, determination and
cool courage. This is no business
for the fainthearted, and never

plan during the four-year interval.
1t said:
with the world deadlocked be-
tween the enlightened forces of
democracy, with its accent on dig
nifty of the human personality, and
atheistic communism, great re-
ligious bodies like the Methodist
church should translate these con-
ceptions into unequivocal langu-
age"
Dodson asked the conference to-
state it's support of the U. S. Su-
preme Court decision against seq
regation Fundamentally and with
out reserve"
He urged Methodist church men,
bers to "join no movement or
force in their local community
which seeks to undermine or SUBJ
vert" the Courts ruling.
Dodson asked members to "con-
denim all violence, manifesto, Citi-
zens' Councils or any other de-
vices which tend to continue the
sin of segregation"
Both his and Bosley's resolutions
were referred for committee study.
Bosley's proposal asked that a
study commission review the de-
nominations jurisdictional struc-
ture and report it's finding to the
next General Conference in 1860.
The present Methodist system
groups Negro congregations into
an administrative unit distinct from
the geographic area in which they
are located.

Vote Not To
Rehire Negro
Teachers for
Coming Year

HARTSHORNE, May 1. - The
Hartshorne school board voted re-
Gently to remploy all present white
teachers in the local school system.
After a lengthy discussion it was
decided not to rehire any Negro
teachers for the coming year at
the present time.
Full Indignation of Negro and
white students is scheduled for the
next school year.
State school laws require that
teachers who are not rehired be
notified in writing before April
10, otherwise, they must be carried
on the teaching staff for the next
school year.

About $4,000 more persons were
at work on farms during the sur
vey week of March 1924 than a
month earlier, bringing the March
total to 6,628,000 farm workers, re-
ports the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
However, compared with year
ago, farm employment continued
it's longtime downward trend,
showing a decline of 100000 of
which the South accounted for 1885,
900. The decrease is partially &C.
counted for by the differences in
weather conditions.
Compared with 1951-55 March
level of farm employment, there
were 100000 fewer persons at work
throughout the country, and 1885,
900 less in the South alone.
Wage rates for hired farm work.
ers averaged four percent higher
on April l than year ago. In
Connecticut, highest paying area,

separation from the Gold Coast and
its continuance under trusteeship.
pending the ultimate determination
of it's political future. :
The problem dates from World
War | when Togoland was divided
between Britain and France after
it's capture from Germany.
The two political parties involv-
ed are the Convention Peoples
Party, who want continuance I'M
der trusteeship for the time being.
At present the only signs Of the
forthcoming elections are the vot-
ing symbols plastered on walls.
AS many of the population can
not read, each voting booth there
will have two ballot boxes. On
each box will be painted a large
symbol, one-an orange circle on
white background representing sep
aration from the Gold Coast, and
the other-a white fist with point
ing finger on a black background
representing Indignation with the
Gold Coast.
The voter takes his ballot and
drops it into the box carrying the
symbol of his choice.
All voters will have their left
thumbs marked with indelible ink
to make sure that nobody votes
twice.
Judging by the registration and
comparatively few objections, there
will be a high and peaceful poll.
But this plebiscite is really only
the first stage in the final solu-
ton to the Togoland problem.
The next step will be the hold
ing of some sort of referendum in
French Togoland to find out the
wishes of the people there. The
French government has indicated
that this will take place in the
fairly near future.
The boundaries established 40
years ago split the tribes among
three areas, the Gold Coast, Brit
ish Togoland, and French Togo
land.

the rate was up from $3.50 day,
without board or room, to $9.40.
In South Carolina, the lowest pay
ing area, the rate was up from
$3.O5, with a house, to $3.50.
In other Southern States where
Negro workers make up a size
able proportion of the farm labor
force, wages ranged from SIS day
in Delaware, with a house, down
to $685. in Tennessee; $3.45 in
Mississippi; $3.50 in Alabama; and
$3.65 in Georgia.
Principal jobs being performed
on farms in the South were corn
planting as far north as South
Carolina, cotton planting in south
ern Georgia, AlaSaca, Mississippi,
and South Carolina, and tobacco
setting in a few southern areas.
In the rest of the country, farm
activities consisted mostly of plow-
ing, working land, and planting
some spring crops.

Prentiss Institute
Observes 49th
Commencement

Commencement Week at Prem
tiss Institute, April 1919, was in
deed fitting climax to a school
year Of record achievement.
The graduating classes were for
tunate in having men of superior
ability to bring messages suited
to both major events of the week.
On Sunday afternoon the annual
sermon was delivered by Rev. Law
renee A. Gedcke, pastor, First Con-
gregational Church, Elmhurst, Ill.
Rev. Gedcke, a loyal friend and
supporter of the Institute, as we'll
as a minister of wide experience
with the spiritual phase of student
life, was certainly able to fulfill
every obligation stated or implied.
There could be no mistake in the
real point of message designed
to impress the fact of moral and
spiritual obligations in return for
superior opportunities granted.
Commencement always affords
certain social and extra academic
features, without which, the season
would seem very incomplete. The
Junior-Senior Banquet, presenta-
ton of Athletic Awards, Alumni
Reunion, Class Day exercises, etc.,
all still have their just claims on
the season.
Commencement Day was the
browning event of the occasion.
The Alumni Greetings were extend
ed by Mr.. Joseph c. Oats, Hat
tiesburg, Miss, class of 1885.
The main address was delivered
by DR.. L. H. Foster, president of
Tuskegee Institute. DR.. Foster
spoke not as a scribe, but as one
having complete authority. His
great challenge to the classes was
that each member become obsessed
with a passion for truthfulness,
thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and
thankfulness. It was challenge
worthy Of the occasion.
The program of the day closed
with the awarding of diplomas and
certificates as follows: High School
40; Junior College 10; Business and
Commercial 8; Barbering g.; Clean
ing-and Pressing 5; Bricklaying 2;
Carpentry 1; Shoe Repairing 2.

process of discovery, but it has been achieved
by prim finger pointing volleys of invective.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: / was setting down indulg-
ing my Saturday nights fish and
beer when along comes one of my
iavorite Parish Streeters who
jumped me with the question, "Why
is it that most of the low down
suggestive songs are found on the
luke Boxes in Negro Cafes and
other places?', and why it is that
some of the down right vulgar
songs that mostly reach the ears
of Negroes are allowed to get by
the censor in the first place. 2" l
answered that it was maybe be-
cause everybody thinks that Ne
groes like the low down vulgar
and suggestive songs because no
body never complains, and in the
second place, the answer to the
reason why such songs get by the
record censors is because nobody
complains, the songs are only
heard in the Negro Community, &
part of the Censors business could
be giving people what they like.
l kept on thinking about the sub
ject of songs and their effect upon
the conduct and thinking of Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns and how every
body was singing "Let The Good
Times Roll" we'll it appears that
the good times have rolled and
it soon will be the kind of times
again when the boys who used to
flash the 500 bills will be TAX
ing more and more interest in
depression Pigs" (Rabits to you.)
| also thought about the song that
they used to sing, you're Feets
to Big" / always used to be sort
of careful about mentioning that
song around some of my friends
of the fairer sex, who, otherwise
palatable, had been blessed with a
generous helping of the lower ex-
tremities. The other day l was
told how us folks call up an tell
the welfare about needy people who
are being given assistance trying
to get their assistance cut off, even
though the cases have always been
fully investigated by the welfare
agency. While l was still thinking
of songs over my fish and beer,
and estimating the effect of songs
like Let the Good Times Roll and
You're Feets Too Big. If there
amt never been one it looks to
me that one is sure needed because
everywhere you look one of the
worst draw backs to Aunt Hag-
CARS Chillun's is that - You're
Mouths Too Big.
