Arnold Hill recently appealed to Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary nf Labor, for consideration 'of Negroes in the organization of the new bureau under the Department of Labor, which bureau is to be known as the Division of Labor Service and Labor Standards. Hill in his letter to Miss Perkins said: have seen from recent press notices that a new bureau is to be established in the Department of Labor, to be known as the Division of Labor Service and Labor Standards. I can think of no group that will need such service any more than Negroes, who because they arc exploited in industry to an extent' that others are not, suffer from lack of informal ion and lack of consideration for the difficulties under which they work.

Because of this I trust you will arrange to see that this service reaches Negroes through initiative taken by the Department of Labor.

Arnold Hill, director of tht department of industrial relation! of National Urban League, both groups struggling to better the condition of the Negro workers, hat given to the Negro face one of th finest appointments received hi many years.

Eugene Kinkle-Jonei, vice-president of the National Conference of Social Work, who for 2.1 years has been the executive secretary of the National Urbsn League, has accepted the post of economic advisor on Negro affairs of the United States Department of Commerce which post was proffered to him by Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper a few dayi "Jones, whose leadership of th Urban League movernent has result ed in its development from a small social work organisation functioning in the city of New York alone, to a grfijrji' Bftttonal organization with two-score highly trained ex-ecutrfes in as many cities, was born in Richmond, July 30, 1885. Hi father. Joseph Endon Jones, was one of the first Negroes tc'graduate from Colgate College from whence he assumed the chair of Homiletics in Virginia Union University in Richmond, which he held for 47 years. His mother, the late Rosa K.

Jones, was for many years instructor of niic in Hartshorn Memorial CollegeTor Women in the same city. "Reared in. the scholastic atmosphere Jones was early thrown in contact with the problems of Negro education. He attended the Win-gate Academy and from there entered Virginia Union University from which he was graduated In lOOfi. In 130R he received his mar- ter's degree in social science at Cornell University.

After graduation he accepted a position as instructor of Sociology at the State university, now Municipal College, Louisville, Ky. He remained in this post a year and then was appointed instructor and general assistant at the Central High School in Louisville. In 1011 he began his work with the Urban League in New York City. With keen realization of the problems of Negroes in urban communities, he set about to fashion a program which would meet these problems. As a result of his efforts the Urban League began a period of expansion.

There can be no doubt that the favorable position of the Negro in the social work structure of America has been due largely to the efforts of Jones. In recognition of his services in 1924, he was elected a member of the executive board of the National Conference of Social Work and in the same year the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by his AJma Maler. He remained on Jthis board, until 1930. In 19.12 he was elected vice-president of this body, the largest and most powerful social work organization irf the World.

Possessing profound and accurate knowledge of the Negro in American life with a quarter of a cen tury of experience in building better race-relations, Jones is ideally equipped to render invaluable service to the Negro and to the nation." The annual Cosmopolitan dinner by the committee for the welfare of the colored group, of the Public Welfare League will be served on the evening of November 17 in Bakewell Hall. of Trinity-Eniscorjal Church, Twenty-ninth and Tele-i graph Avenue.

Congratulations are extended to the club and its di recto. i 1 Lie lend that my feeting of utter horror at the atrocious lynching in Princess Anne expresses the sense of the Federal Council of Churches as a whole. I make this statement on the basis of many official declarations which have been marie bv the Federal Council and executive committee on the subject of lynching.

That such outbursts of mob violence and race haired could take place in our country makes us realise how-far we are from being truly civilized or Christians In an important phase of our social life. They are an ineradicable stain not merely upon a single town or a single State, but upon the honor and integrity of the whole nation. "'Any lynching is un outrage upon our sense of justice Information at band indicates this one was especially so in that the lynching plans were well known in advance that warning to keep the victim in a place of secur-ity were disregard ed, anil that the authorities could have made a more determined effort to control the mob, The judge is quote.d as saying that be knew many in the crowd. "'The mounting toll of lynching during this year has already brought the total to more than twice as niqny as In 1012.

If these rieclaral ions are to have any significance for concrete eases and not to be vague generalities, we must now express our sense of shame and sorrow at what has occurred in Maryland.
