Sunday morning June 8, was an
ideal day for the church goers.
The attendance was very good.
Rev. M. L. Simmons brought
to US a very inspiring message,
and the subject was Where is
your gratitude. The text was
chosen from Psalms 1912, What
shall I render unto the Lord for
all his benefits toward me?" The
pastor pointed out that man may
rise high in the worlds eye, but
without God he faces ultimate
doom. Man cannot make 1t without
God, when God takes his hands off
That's Alp. In conclusion the
pastor further stated when man
fails it is because he has failed
God.
The Holy communion was admin
istered as usual on the first Sun
day by Rev. Simmons and assisted
by Evangelist Matte Boyd and
Noah Smith, Evang. Florence Dan
iels.
The beautiful music was provid-
ed by the senior choir and the
Cantinos.
The evening hour was an en-
joyable one as Mrs. Lorraine Hale
rendered many beautiful numbers
in the recital sponsored by the
senior choir. Mrs. Harriet c. Jones
was the chairman Of the program,
Mrs. Dorothy Sims, is the organ
list, and choir directress, and Mp

him a better opportunity for study.
He said he had heard that Ne
gro drivers were barred from the
night shift but he didn't believe
1t. He soon found out when after
three requests to management he
finally was told in the latter part
of September there was an agree
ment which did not allow Negro
drivers to work on the night shift"
White went to the Minneapolis
Urban League to investigate the
so-called agreement.
He found that such an agreement
had been verbally made with no
date set for its termination, upon
the cab firms plea, that since they
were setting a new PRECEDENT it
would be best to use Negro dIiv-
ers only on the day shift to start.
The Urban League officials
are reported to have said that
such an agreement was only Of
tentative nature and should have
been terminated at least after
the first year Of experience.
When White could get no place
with his employer he filed a COM
plant with the Minneapolis FEP
commission in November Of 1859
that he was being Disseminated
against.
In December the commission
summoned the Blue & White Cab
Co, to a hearing. At that time
the Blue and White representa-
tives pointed out to the commission
that Airway Cab Co., had not hired
a single Negro driver.
At the same meeting the firm
representatives and its counsel
promised the discrimination
against Maurice White would be
ended.
Three months later on March
IA, White appeared before the
commission to report that Blue &
White still refused to allow him
to drive on the night shift.
He stated the reason offered by
Blue & White was that Airway
Cab still would not employ Negro
drivers, an excuse which White
felt had nothing to do with
the discrimination being practiced
against him.
Louis Erwin, commission execu-
tive director was ordered to check
with the Blue & White attorney,
William C. Kelly on the firms
failure to keep its promise to the
commission
After the story on the March IA
meeting broke in this newspaper,
several Negro Blue & White driv-
ers addressed a critical letter to
this newspaper making the re-
marlxable claim there was no
discrimination against Negro en-
ployes by Blue & White.
At least three of the Negro
drivers would not sign the letter
but six did. Some Of the drivers
who signed the letter told
friends Danny Davis, recently
appointed cab supervisor and a

Taylor's courtroom feats have been compared with
the fictional of Perry Mason. This is not
a far-fetChed comparison. Mason continues to bring
awe from televison audiences by winning every case
