DETROIT, Feb. 3—Circulara dis­tributed by the Friendship Club, charging Roy Lightfoot, owner of the popular B. and C. Nltery, at St. Antolne and Beacon'streeta, had thrown his Paradise Valley Con­sumers Association and News-World newspaper behind an "un­fair boycotting of the Stroh Brew­ing Company," after an "attempt­ed shakedown was thwarted," were deacrlbed by the roly-poly "Ex-Mayor of Paradise Valley," Mon­day aa "nothing but propaganda."

Boasting a membership of 150, the Friendship Club, which la a recent reorganization of the Vet­eran Leaf, is headed by John Bry­ant with headquarters at 4&i Med-bury avenue. It's purposes calls for the "civic, Bocial, economic, politi­cal and religious betterment of the race."

Wanted Representation Interviewed at his newspaper oU

flee, Lightfoot aaid: , "The Stroh Brewing Company

does one-half million dollars worth of business with Negroes annually and puts nothing back. Their set­up Is a family affair "with no stock on the market or anything from which a Negro can gain financial returns. We wanted representation in proportion to the amount of money wo were spending so we

formed the Paradise Valley Con­sumers Association and asked Stroh'a to hire Negroes as sales­men since all other breweries did.

"They told ua under no circum­stances would they hire a Negro as a representative of the compa­ny so the association, which has a membership of 158 of which one-third Is white, started a boycott. Four Negro employees In the ga­rage apparently became shaky and went to the Friendship Club, In which they evidently held mem­bership. This club has no authority or power to function as they have, and, no doubt, interceded w|jth a financial motive and to take a «lap at ua. There is nothing to their charges . . . nothing but propa­ganda."

' Deal Failed, Says According to Theon Scottr chair­

man of the Friendship Club. Inves­tigating committee: "The Stroh Co. is affiliated with the American Fed­eration of Labor and all employees under the jurisdiction of the Un­ion must be approved by the Union before they are employed. T h e four colored men worked In the garage, which Is not unionized. Why didn't lightfoot go to the Un­ion and make his protest if he really was so Interested in t h e rights of Negro representation at Stroh's?"
