AUNT JTELLA
SNE KNOWS EVERYTHING/
Next to a charge account at a night-spot, a modern Adam's most
difficult achievement is his Eve's undying love and respect on the
promise of a pipe-dream future. But what young Romeo fails to at­
tempt it? In these revolutionary days of organized labor and social
security, everything in pants imagines that he has the world by the
tail with a down-hill pull or that he’s just what the Doctor ordered.
And the saddest part is that divorce courts can’t convince him of^error!
Until Jack has bruised his ego on Jill’s loving but granite practicality,
he continues to live in his dream-world future. But there's where Aunt
Stella comes in. To bruised egos. This Gifted Little Lady is as Mother’s
kiss to Baby’s stubbed toe. She Sees All, Knows All, Tells All—and
consultation is free. Her confidential advice to breadwinners—pros­
pective or helpless—is our principal reason for printing this paper.

of racial discrim ination and FEPC principles

during th e w ar indicated th a t discrim ination
in in d u stry is a freq u en t cause of labor strife.

PORTLAND INQUIRER
NEW YORK, (ANP)—Jack Carter, rated on of America’s
most versatile actors, arrived in the city last Wednesday
after a stay in Detroit and Cleveland . . . Incidentally Carter
brought sad news to scores of ANDEW BISHOP’S friends
of other years . . . The brother of SHELTON BISHOP, of
St. Phillips church on West 134th street, underwent a most
serious liver operation recently at the Lakeland hospital,
Cleveland . . . Remembered as one of the pioneer actors
of the LAFAYETTE THEATRE PLAYERS of 30 years
ago, Andrew has the sympathy of actors and entertainers
the country over.
Watch for an early arrival of PORGY AND BESS
with the cast composed of its original members (Wesley
Hill is dead) . . . We want a seat away down front when
this presentation gets under way . . . HARRY WILEY Jr.,
resplendent in civilian clothes once more, is managing
PERCY’S CORNER, 132nd St. and 7th avenue . . . Few
stories contain the human interest element as does this
one concerning Percy Harris and Wiley . . . During the long
period Sgt. Wiley was abroad in the thick of the danger
zone (European theatre) Percy Harris burned up the wires
with letters . . . Nothing was too good for his pal Harry
. . . Returning home on furlough earlier in the year, Harris
virtually turned his place over to Harry and his friends.
Then came the release from the army and Harris im­
mediately installed Wiley as second man in his bar and
grill showplace patronized by Harlemites night and day . . .
Folk make promises, talk loudly and walk heavily—that’s
about all they do . . . Seldom does one hear of a Damon
and Pythias story like the above actually coming true in
this atomic age . . . I recommend for record lovers AL
SEARS, of the Duke Ellington band, in his tenor-sax of­
fering of “That’s For Me”.
WILLIAM ANDERSON, trumpeter of Ellington’s crack
musical aggregation, hits a high note with me in his wax­
ing of “Court Session” with “Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe”
on the opposite side . . . ANNA LUCASTA, now past its
500th performance, has brought beautiful HILDA SIMMS
to the front ranks of American actresses in no uncertain
manned . . . bully for you, lovely Hilda.
“BUSTER” WILBANK’S "jamboree” scheduled for Re­
naissance casino Nov. 26 has the younger set making prepa­
rations to be there in great numbers. . . . ROBERT SYL­
VESTER, critic of the N. Y. Daily News, is himself being
criticized for his “crumby” reporting style in covering the
recent JAMES P. JOHNSON recital at Town Hall. . . . The
line that offended the “Dawn Patrol Kids” most was this
one: “He had a good representative audience—ranging from
the smart set to an old mammy who came right from ‘Uncle
Tom’s Cabin’ and nearly bounced herself out of a loge
seat listening to Jelly Roll Morton’s blues.”
“MONAEYE,” the swivel-hipped shake artist over at
MURRAINS where ART PARRISH runs things, is just
about the snappiest hip-wiggler these eyes have lamped
since JOTA MILLS, (ex-wife of one of the Mills Brothers)
was blazing a trail in the cabaret circuits. . . . DOC WHEEL­
ER, is nitely playing to good houses at Murrains. . . . Colored
dancers are being auditioned at the ZIEGFELD THEATRE
for “Show Boat” contracts.

device they d are to use. M any plant forr.ien
and supervisors are getting tought in the
face of low ered wage3 and a stead y r l
in
the cost of living. The idea of course :■» tv
dem onstrate to the w orkers th a t the unic n are
not able to protect them.
The unions, particularly th e CIO, realize the
best w ay to m aintain th eir stren g th is to fight
for su b stan tial wage increases and other thing
the w orkers w ant w h eth er em ployed or not.
This fight w ill also enable local union organ-
th eir ran k s against w hat they reg ard as em-
izers and leaders to stren g th en and to solidify
ployer disruption. M anagem ent w ithholds wage
increases p a rtly to em barrass the unions.
T hus u n til m anagem ent changes its attitude
tow ard m eeting an eq u al in strength at the
collective bargaining table, w ages w ill rem ain
th e key public issue in labor disputes. And
to talk about industrial peace w ithout facing
it is largely a w aste of tim e.
►
This wage issue is far m ore im portant to the
CIO than th e AFL. The A FL in its endorse­
m ent of the w eak T rum an w age-price policy
and th eir voting w ith m anagem ent to exclude
w ages from the labor m anagem ent conference,
indicates it w ants to exclude w ages from the
labor m anagem ent conference, indicates ft
w ants no easy settlem ent of the wage issue.
They seem to believe th a t a clear c u t national
wage policy w ould be far m ore advantageous
to CIO th an to them .
In short th e A FL and m anagem ent th in k
they have CIO over a barrel. B ut th ey forget
th a t th e strik e tem po of th e cou n try is set by
CIO.
