COLORED MAN NAMED FOR JURY SERVICE IN N. C.

CHARLOTTE. N. C.. Oct. 22— fANP>—For the .firs| time since reconstruction days, the name of a Negro citizen was drawn last week for jury service—and not thrown ■i.ack into the box. There are names of 625 Negroes and 10,000 whites in the .county jury box. The names of the Negroes are written in red ink and the names of the whites in black. Recently Superior Court. Judge JWill Pless, in deciding that an accused Negro burglar and two others charged with murder could not be tried because no members of their race were on the grand jury, was told that all names written in red ink were thrown back into the box when drawn. Last week the county commissioners, following the ruling by Judge Pless based on the Scottsboro decision of.the U. S. Supreme Vourt ordered officials not to throw hack any names printed in red ink. The red slip that was drawn bore the name of John Walker. Just the township and no street Address is listed on slips. John Walker was found to live in Charlotte. But an examination of the city directory showed at least a dozen John' Walkers listed. The jury sheet turned over to the sheriff’s office does not distinguish between whites and Negroes.

Cheeks, editor of the Cleveland Guide, and Miss Pauline Lee and Aluby Whitfield, manager and part owner of the Exposition cafeteria at the Great Lakes exposition where the editor and Miss Leo claim they were refused service because of their color. The settlement was made Wednesday. Before agreeing on the eettlement, Mr. Cheeks was assured that the management would enforce the Civil rights law hereafter, and was given the following statement signed by Whitfield: “I always have apd will, as long as I am manager of an eating place in any state having a civil rights law, serve with equal accommodations all persons, regardless of race, color, or creed.’’ Following the settlement. Cheeks said, “The signing of that statement and the arrest of the employe was worth much more than the cash consideration. ' It will he remembered that Viola pirst, one of the cafeteria employees, was arrested after the editor had secured a warrant under Ohio’s civil rights law. Cheeks had agreed to drop the criminal case, and to refrain from bringing a civil case, but says he has just Started on his drive to have the law enforced, and will have others arrested and sued if he finds evidences of violation.,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 22— (ANP)—Negro employees of the Missouri Pacific railrofid car shops* here are disturbed over reports or a strong organized drive by American Federation of Labor unions to enroll white employees in the shops but to exclude still Negroes from membership. There are over a thousand Negroes working in the shops ^of the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island roads, doing all types of jobs from unskilled to highly skilled work. They owe many of their jobs to the 1922 strike by the American Federation of Labor which pulled out the white employees, only to see Negroes come in as strike-breakers and help break the strike. . The management kept the strike-break-ers on as regular employees, ^Und Negroes for the first time'had a

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22— (ANP)—After serving as the home office of the Knights of Pythias in Louisiana for more than 26 years, the Pythian Temple is to become a hospital ibuilding to house colored patients of Charity hospital, during construction of the new $8,500,000 institution to he built

with WPA funds.

The plan was announced by the James O’Conner, Jr., received for the lodge, and according to the terms of the transaction the State of Louisiana will occupy the temple for 18 months at a rental of $1,500 per month. With the exception of the ground floor, on which the offices will be located, the entire building will he used for

the state’s patients.

The Pythian temple was erected in 1910 at a cost of $352,000 and according to officials, was fully paid for. The rent paid by the state for the use of the building, it is said, will be used to liquidate outstanding death claims against the lodge, as it was these unpaid endowments which caused the de-

chance to do the highly skilled and well-paid work of the plants. It was hoped that the unions would drop their traditional policy of excluding Negroes. It would seem, however, that those hopes are vain, for the drive for A.
