“In my judgment,” said Principal R.
R. Moton in an open letter to the
South Monday, “There is enough com-
mon sense and enough of the spirit
of justice and fairness among the
leaders of both races here in the
South to settle whatever difficulties
may arise without interference from
the outside.” The letter, printed in
full in several of the leading dailies
of the South and carried as a news
story by the Associated Press early
this week, was an appeal to bankers,
merchants and business men to be
considerate in. their dealings with
their Negro farmers who may be un-
able to meet their obligations because
of the low price of cotton.

lominees For Assemb
Besides being an appeal for relief
from the burdens of the present eco-
nomic depression, a considerable por-
tion of the letter was devoted as a
warning against the communist agita-
tion in this section of the country. He
advised the leaders among his people
to warn the members of their race
against permitting agitators from
the outside. Communists and oth-
ers, to stir up strife between black
and white with counsels of violence.
• Commenting on the purport of Dr.
Moton’s letter, the editor of the At-
lanta Constitution, writes:
“The appeal by Dr. Moton, princi-
pal of Tuskegee Industrial Institute,
better known as the 'Booker T. Wash-
South.
“Knowing that a major percentage
of the cotton growers of the South
are Negro tenants, renters and crop-
pers, whose sole dependence for liveli-
hood is upon the sympathy and jus-
tice of their white landlords, and the
value of their labor dependent upon
the price of the cotton crop.
“In such a depression dilemma there
seems nothing in sight in the way of
relief other than the humane leniency
of those who hold the debts against
the poor farmers. It is for that Dr.
Moton appeals in language almost pa-
thetic, and certainly rational and
worthy of profound sympathy. He
visualizes a great majority of the col-
ored people in the South, unless treat-
ed with patience and liberality by
their white creditors, going forth this
winter in hunger and nakedness to be
heavy and costly charges upon the
charity of the South’s communities
and citizens.
“Something in the shape of a quasi
moratorium ought to be posible. It
will go far to keep the farmers from
despair and fearful want and form
the foundation for a better and safer
crop balancing in 1933. It is certain-
ly worth trying.”

MISSION WORKERS
VISITING STATES
T Nashville, Tenn.—Interesting cam-
pus visitors at Fisk University this
week were Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Mc-
’ Dowell, missionaries from the Ga-
langne Station, Angola, West Africa.
Rev. and Mrs. McDowell are both
graduates of Talledega College and
for the past year have been studying
at Hartford Theological Seminary.
Rev. McDowell was granted the Har-
mon award last year for distinguish-
ed service in religion.
The McDowells are young and gave
generously of their time and enthu-
siasm to the students in chapel and
informal meetings. Both spoke at
the faculty dinner, Mrs. McDowell de-
lighting her audience by giving a
large number of African bird calls,
and the imaginative natives’ idea of
what the birds say.
Rev. McDowell is an explorer-mis-
sionary, actually hunting a new place
on the map to establish his sta-
tion, and there building everything
with native products and local arti-
sanship.

MAKING GOOD
SERIOUS COTTON
PICKER SHORTAGE
IS FELT IN SOUTH
Memphis, Tenn.—(CNS)—A serious
shortage of cotton pickers faced the
South last week as reports from sev-
eral sections of the cotton belt came
in to the effect that no labor was
available. Less than one-fifth of the
cotton crop has been gathered it was
learned; and the excessive heat ex-
perienced in some sections has caused
an unprecedented bursting of cotton
buds and the consequent need for im-
mediate picking. Chief among the
reasons for the shortage' of labor was
the starvation wages being paid by
white plantation owners to Negro cot-
ton pickers. So low are the prices
that hundreds of white families have
refused to go into the fields. In some
instances coercive methods are being
used to force Negroes to pick cotton
at wages insufficient to support them-
selves. Similar coercive methods have
not, however, been employed against
white workers.
The Municipal Employment Bureau
here' received but 40 responses last
week to its request for 100 cotton
pickers. Simultaneously the United
States Department of Labor office at
Jackson, Miss., has issued an appeal
for 10,000 pickers with little result.
SON OF FOUNDER
PLEASED AT VISIT
TO HOWARD “U”
Washington, D. C.—Howard Uni-
versity was honored on Friday with
a visit by Captain C. C. Howard, libra-
rian of the Department of the Inter-
ior, and Mrs. John 0. Howard of Palo
Alto, Calif., son and daughter-in-law
of the founder.
The visitors were, taken on a sight-
seeing tour of the university, includ-
ing the new dormitories for women
and the medical school.
Captain Howard made a brief ad-
dress to students in the department
of home economics, who were holding
an informal reception at the time of
the Howard’s visit.
The third Sunday night of each
month will be regularly reserved for
colored people at the museum.
Weinzheimer Monotypes
Weinzheimer is represented by 52
monotypes and .15 pastel drawings.
The artist is German, but he lives in
Florence where he has been working
quietly for himself for several years
without attempting to show anything
in public exhibitions. During this
period he has devoted most of his
time to monotypes. He believes that
he has created something new in this
rare medium. A monotype is produc-
ed by painting in ink or colors on a
metal plate and passing the latter
through a press before the color is
dry. Weinzheimer is recognized in
Europe as an artist of high standing.
He has taken many well-known priz-
es, including the Menzel prize of the
Prussian Academy of Arts and the
Villa Romana prize given by the Ger-
man Art League in the National Art
Exhibition in Leipzig.
Mestrovic Drawings
The fourteen drawings by Ivan
Mostrovic are studies for sculptures.
Mestrovic did his first sculptural
work when he carved wood into all
sorts of shapes as he tended his fath-
er’s sheep in the mountains of Jugo-
Slavia. Since wood could be worked
in only one direction, he turned to
the use of soft stone, which he found
in the ruins on the mountain tops. Fi-
nally he went to work with a master
mason in Spalato, and when he was
16 years old he went to Vienna to
study. His work has been exhibited
widely in both Europe and America,
and he is regarded as one of the most
outstanding of living sculptors.
Ziegler Oils
Samuel P. Ziegler was born, reared
and educated in Pennsylvania, but he
has been active in the art life of Tex-
as since 1917. He received his train-
ing at, the Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he
won a Cresson European traveling
scholarship in 1912. At present he is
the director of the art department of
Texas Christian University at Fort
Worth. Twenty-six oils by Ziegler,
including portraits, landscapes and
still lifes are being shown.
Egyptian Antiquities
In addition to these loan exhibitions,
a selected group of the Egyptian an-
tiquities recently given to the Mu-
seum of Fine Arts by Miss Annette
Finnigan will be shown in museum
cases in the entrance lobby.

STEVE FENNER
• T
Henke and Pillot, Inc., grocers,
operating stores at 302-312 Milam
Street, 2806-2816 Travis Street and at
Washington Avenue and the S. P.
Crossing, are shown to be one of the
largest employers of colored people
of the city, thereby showing their ap-
preciation for the patronage they re-
ceive from members of this group.
At present there are 82 Negroes em-
ployed in their three stores. They
have maintained this very fine atti-
tude toward the colored people during
the entire fifty-nine years that they
have been operating in Houston. They
are fair and considerate at all times
and are always ready and willing to
adjust any complaints that might
arise in the course of business.
Two of their oldest and most trust-
ed .employees, John Nelson and Steve
Fenner, are made the subject of this
sketch.
John Nelson, who is still in fine
health at the ripe age of 87 years,
has been in the employ of this firm
for 45 years. Coming to Houston, as
a slave in 1862, when George Frazier,
former sheriff of Harris County,
1.2. a 1.792
erstwhile slaves, including Nelson, his
mother, two sisters and a brother, he
began working at a brick yard operat-
ed by Frazier.
In 1886, when the first refrigerat-
ing and cold storage plant was start-
ed in Houston, on the spot now ocu-
pied by the Henke Artesian Ice and
Refrigerating Company, he was em-
ployed as fireman in this plant. This
was arduous work as he had to un-
load the slabs with which he did his
firing from freight cars and then
push them back to his boiler room on
an old improvised cart.
In 1896 Nelson was transferred to
the present store at Milam and Con-
gress, where he can be found on the
job every day. One of his keen in-
terests is to look about and see that
the other employes of his group are
also on the job. He is familiarly
known to the employees of Henke and
Pillot as “Nelse” or “Major.”
Steve Fenner, now 62 years of age,
has been employed by Henke and Pil-
lot for 89 years. He came to Houston
from Columbus County and entered
the firm’s employ in 1892, driving a
stiff tongue wagon. In 1894, when
JOHN NELSON ,
the firm bought a float that would
hold an carry a 10,000 pound load, he
was made driver of the same. He
likes to talk- about this float and his
two fine large mules. In 1925 he
was placed in the warehouse of store
No. 1, Milam and Congress, as floor
foreman. In this capacity he proved
himself one of the store’s most trust-
ed employees.
As the result of thrift, industry and
interest in his employer’s business,
Fenner has been able to purchase a
nice home, other valuable city prop-
erty and a farm on the Yale Street
Road.
He is a member of Trinity M. E.
Church, Magnolia Lodge No. 8, Free
and Accepted Masons, Golden Spur
Lodge No. 775, G. U. 0. of 0. F., and
a respected citizen of the race and
community.

1 V.-WILEY GAME
New York City.—(CNS)—The Citi-
zen’s Union of New York City, one of
the most influential non-partisan or-
ganizations of this city, has endorsed
two Negro candidates for the assem-
bly and eight white candidates out of
a total of 62 office-seekers in the as-
sembly race. The two colored men
singled out for endorsement are:
Francis E. Rivers, Republican nomi-
nee for the assembly1 from the 19th
District, and Lamar Perkins, Repub-
lican nominee from the 21st District
Both Rivers and Perkins have served
a previous term in the assembly from
their respective districts. And both
did not seek reelection in order to en-
ter the race for the newly created
municipal judgeships. Rivers was de-
feated by his Democratic opponent,
Judge Charles Toney in a Democratic
landslide; and Perkins lost the pri-
mary race to his Republican oppon-
ent John C. Hawkins, who was later
beaten out for the judgeship by Judge
James S. Watson, Democrat. Both
candidates were easy winners in the
recent Republican primaries for the
nominations to the assembly.
Endorsement Significant
The endorsement of these two men
for election to office has been point-
ed to as highly significant. Each
year after careful study, the Citizens
Union passes on the fitness of the
scores of candidates for public office.
The favored candidates are graded in
three categories, which are, “endors-
ed,” “qualified," and “preferred.” En-
dorsement of a candidate means that
the Citizen’s Union commends him to
the voters and believes his election
highly desirable. Only ten persons re-
ceived endorsement To name a can-
didate as qualified, which is second
rating, means that he is deemed fit
for office, although not necessarily to
such a degree as to be endorsed. The
third rating, “preferred,” indicates
that as between all candidates in the
field the preferred one is best fitted
for office.
The citations of the two colored
candidates is given below in the lan-
guage. of the Citizen’s Union report:
“Nineteenth District—Francis E.
Rivers (Rep.), endorsed. Mr. River’s
record as assemblyman made a last-
ing impression. Men of his fine type
are sorely needed at Albany. His re-
turn is urged.
“Twenty-first District—Lamar Per-
kins (Rep.), endorsed. Mr. Perkins
made a much better first year record
last year than did his successor this
year. He is throughly capable and
should be sent to the assembly again.”
Attorney Rivers is a former resi-
dent of Washington, D. C., and an
honor graduate of Yale Law School.
Attorney Perkins was born in Geor-
gia and is a graduate of Harvard Law
School.

New York City.—Scores of dele-
gates from councils in New York, Phi-
ladelphia, Monessen (Pa.), Columbus,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Wash-
ington, D. C., Durham, N. C., Colum-
bia, S. C., and New Orleans, La., are
enroute to Pittsburgh to attend the
first national conference of the Young
Negroes’ Co-Operative League which
opens on Sunday, October 19, in the
Smoky City, according to a statement
issued at national headquarters here
by George S. Schuyler, national or-
ganizer and well-known journalist.
The main purpose of the conference
is to discuss methods of rehabilitating
the Negro group economically in the
face of business depression and unem-
ployment through consumers’ coop-
eration. Among the principal speak-
ers will be Dr. Wm. C. Henderson of
Columbus, O.; Lewis E. Anthony,
chairman of the Philadelphia Council,
Y. N. C. L; Dr. E. E. Nelson, presi-
dent of the Citizen’s Cooperative So-

chairman of the New York Council
and secretary-treasurer of the Y. N.

Both Captain and Mrs. Howard
were pleased with the physical equip-
ment, and the emphasis upon faculty
scholarship; but more than either of
these, they expressed themselves as
gratified with the appreciative spirit
on the part of teachers and students.
Accompanying Captain and Mrs.

LABOR SECRETARY
ADV ISES JOBLESS
TO STAY AT HOME
Washington, D. C.(CNS)—“Cit-
ies are only able to take care of their
own unemployed,” said William H.
Doak, secretary of labor last week,
when he issued a strong warning
statement to unemployed to avoid
migrating to large population centres
with the hope of getting work.
“Authenticated reports from many
sections of the country prove that
thousands of unemployed men and
women are leaving their home areas
to seek work in the larger urban cen-
tres,” Secretary Doak declared.
“Those of the unemployed who in-
tend to move in search for better
things should be told that the cities
are able only to care for their own
unemployed. An influx of work seek-
ers adds to the difficulties of the lo-
cal residents and of those going in to
seek work and find none. .
“It is far better for Unemployed
persons to stay in their home locali-
ties where they are known, may have
relatives and friends, and where their
working qualifications are well
known.”
By GERALD H. ADAMS
Dallas, Texas.—Probably the big-
gest crowd to witness any race foot-
ball game in the country this fall
will be on hand when Prairie View
and Wiley meet here next Monday af-
ternoon. These two outstanding
elevens of the Southwest will stage
the battle that will in all probability
mean the championship of the South-
western Athletic Conference.
It will be remembered that the same
teams battled to a 17-18 Wiley vic-
tory when “Streak” Evans grabbed a
forward pass and galloped fifty yards
for the winning marker in the clos-
ing moments of play, in the best
game staged in the Texas State Fair
Stadium last fall.
Both teams are stronger than at
this time last year. Coach Sam Tay-
lor has Cochran, Hughes, Dalton and
Dupree eligible for conference com-
petition this fall, while Coach Long
has uncovered two freshman half-
backs in the persons of Adams and
Patterson, who are expected to give
the Panthers much trouble. The Wild-
cats’ star center, Willie Combs, who
was on the sidelines last year because
of injuries, will be in action Monday,
along with the veterans, Franklin and
Busby.
Prairie View will run a special train
to Dallas, bringing the entire student
body, while the Texas and Pacific spe-
cial from Marshall will bring in the
Wiley student body and five or six
hundred Marshall supporters of the
Wildcats. Last year more than ten
thousand were present, and despite
the present depression a larger crowd
is expected to be on hand Monday af-
ternoon.
The probable line-up is as follows:

MAYOR OPPOSES
DePRIEST VISIT
Shreveport, La.—(ANP)—Although
it was formally announced that a lo-
cal church would sponsor an address
in the municipal auditorium by Oscar
DePriest, congressman, it is consid-
ered doubtful the address will be de-
livered, due to disapproval expressed
by Mayor J. G. Palmer. The mayor
said he had advised a Negro delega-
tion visiting his office about the De-
Priest visit to keep DePriest away
and substitute another speaker. “I
told the delegates that it would be a
big mistake to bring DePriest to this
city,” Mayor Palmer said, “as the
white citizens would consider it an af-
front.”
is the first conference of this nature
ever to be held among colored people.
YEAR BOOK EDITOR
IS GRANTED LEAVE
Tuskegee, Ala.—(CNS)—Professor
Monroe N. Work, director of the de-
partment of records and reasearch at
Tuskegee Institute, has been granted
year’s leave of absence to pursue
graduate study at the University of
Chicago. He will spend his time in
research on the subject of the “cul-
tural background and traditions of the
South." His work is being financed
by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation.
Prof. Work, who is best known as
the editor of the Negro Year Book,
received the Harmon award in 1928
for “scholarly research.”
