A Merry Christmas BUNK INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SCORED. BUNK INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SCORED. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 AM BUNK INDUSTRIAL SCO THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL ENIGMA LOOMS UPON THE HORIZON—J. GOODMAN BRAYE, EXPONENT By Walt. L. Gordon (Special Contributor) It has been an annual or biennial occurrence for Los Angeles black citizenry to be disturbed by these itinerant industrial school promoters. Several years ago there was one Simms, a local grocery keeper, then a Mr. O. Overr, of Allensworth, peace justice and a farmer of that locality, who aimed at having the state to found a polytechnic school under Negro management and for Negro patronage. Then the Rev. G. W. Reed, of Stockton, who came to Los Angeles anticipating the possibility of his being called to the pastorate of Providential Baptist Church, and incidentally to preach segregation and separate schools. Sunday, Dec. 3, 1916, the Los Angeles Times introduces to us another of these misguided creatures by the name of J. Goodman Braye. This, man Braye wants some body or bodies to put $100,000 in the bank for him. When the full amount is there he wants to start a school out in the hills somewhere for Negro children. No one knows how it's going to be supported or anything about it's being patronized. That's of little or no concern. The $100,000 will bear the burden of the effort for the present. California ranks fourth as to quality and quantity of schools; its school system includes polytechnic or industrial schools, as they are commonly called by our people down South. Black children have access to all of these schools—though sometimes an occasional preference or slight is aimed at them (as attested by students), but on the whole our children get fair and equal treatment. The best teachers, new ideas, new buildings, and contact with children of every clime, is our children's fortune. Contact and association is the best and only antidote for prejudice. It begets toleration and it's through tolerance we are to come into possession of any rights or privileges that are our due by law or suffrage. But isolate us, keep us away from the races, whether in the schools or in the city's environs, we will be a more scorned, more despised and crippled people. Jim Crow schools mean at best poor schools and many times no schools. The Presbyterian Banner, the official organ of the Presbyterian Church, tells of a town in Alabama, where there are 2300 Negro children of school age, and the officials (white) provide a school for only 300 of these. These latter day industrial prophets are certainly needed in a country such as this—to plead for just what is the Negro's due, not for a big or bigger school—not an industrial school, but an elementary graded school, where these and other black children can get the common rudiments of an education. Mr. Braye, you are needed down there in Alabama, not to mention Louisiana or South Carolina, but not out in California or the West, or any place in the North, for that matter, because these good and generous-hearted white people have provided schools plentifully and efficiently taught for all mankind, and the Negro child is not excepted. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in an interview shortly before he died, said in reference to Negro education: "As yet that experiment is but half completed. No one can yet say what Negro education can accomplish for the Negro and the South, because Negro education has never been thoroughly tried." Mr. Braye, a Southern Negro, leaves the South, comes west to establish schools for Negroes where they are plentifully provided, and leaving a people who are prayerfully, tearfully begging—not for industrial schools in particular, but for any school—a slight chance to learn the bare rudiments. Just think of it, Mr. Braye! Ask yourself, ask your friends, ask all of the people where you are most needed. Of 3,422,157 Negro children of school age, only 66.34 per cent, or in round numbers, 1,712,137, are enrolled in school. Why not you, Mr. Braye, beg us and all for $100,000 with which to start a school in the Southland for some of these 1,710,020 children who are out of school in utter despair, imploring a chance to get in? Arizona, a western state, once had mixed schools, then how nicely everything went. She came up for statehood. Negroes implored the authorities for separate schools, primarily because it offered an opportunity for some to teach, not considering the fact that schools were primarily created to train the young and not created to make jobs. Again, is it not better to have an efficient teacher of any other race to train your children than to have one of your own, who is absolutely unfit? So Arizona offered separate schools as a part of its constitution. Those days in small towns all went to one common school. Now in the small towns, where the colored population is practically nil, their children have no school, as no provision is made for such a small number. They have threatened suit, but to no avail. Yet, foreigners or aliens, Japs, Mexicans, Chinese, and Hindoos — people incapable of citizenship—their children are admitted into all and any school of the commonwealth of Arizona. The Negroes' pet—the "Jim Crow school law"—has slammed the door in his face. Ask our citizens and those who visit Arizona what shameful huts at best the Negro has for schools, and when he tells you all, — well, never, never while you live, will your anguish cease. Much of the exodus of our people from the Southland is because of the school question, along with other disagreeable conditions. Whether in Los Angeles or in any other part of the North on West, any person who attempts to set up barriers between the races in the matter of separate schools solely for Negroes, or asking for certain districts for Negroes, or division of public positions or work on racial lines—every Negro should frown upon him and consider him an enemy of the race. TOM MILLER A RAVING MANIAC Word reaches us that Thomas Miller, who was convicted of first degree murder at San Diego last spring and sentenced to life imprisonment and confined at San Quentin, is now a raving maniac and that he must soon be removed to an asylum.

FROM THE SCRAP BOOK Many Anxious Children Are Waiting and Red Stockings Are Unfilled. Impatient Demands Are Constantly Coming in From Little Ones. It isn't rumor; it's fact. Christmas is almost here. The real news of the day is not the Opp trial or the war in Europe or the fluctuation of "warbrides" on the stock exchange. The real news of the hour is that Christmas is coming. If you don't believe it, slip into the house next door and see what little Dorothy Brown and little Benny Brownson are talking about. Up on the Hill, where the Appearing new population is nine-tenths babies and dogs, the dogs are almost the only living creatures that can be induced to discuss anything else. Annie, who comes breathlessly bounding up the steps about breakfast time, has made Christmas the paramount topic of conversation for a week now, and Annie's big, bright, brown eyes are shining more brilliantly than ever. Annie has absolute faith in the magic and joy of Christmas. She and Santa Claus are on the best of terms, and it would never occur to her to suspect that he might pass her by. As a matter of fact he won't, because she happens to be our little friend, and we have personally interceded for her; but there are a lot of other children next door to Annie and across the street and in the flat below and in the shack at the rear who are equally bright-eyed over the prospect of Christmas. As yet they haven't any friends to intercede with Santa Claus in their behalf. Some of them are not so pretty and winsome and otherwise endowed ```markdown ``` with those sweet qualities that make friends for one. They are just that much more in need of your help if their faith and hope is to be preserved. The children of North Beach who will receive stockings have been chosen from lists submitted by Miss Adams of People's Place Miss Ash of Telegraph Hill Settlement and all other organizations administtering relief in that district. A meeting of the nurses and other settlement workers was called and the lists gone over. It is impossible to give them even a meager Christmas. The list, as it was finally decided upon, contained only those children whose parents are absolutely unable to supply any sort of Christmas. Some of the women in the tenement known as the Cueno Flats called at the Associated IME, FLORENCE COLE-TALBERG next month in this city with Hahn Ju Charities headquarters the other day to ask for stockings. When the situation was explained to them and they admitted that their husbands, who are most of them fishermen, could probably succeed in getting some small gifts for the children, they said they would be satisfied to go without them if we would give stockings to Mrs. B——, "whose man is dead." Mrs. B—— is far from being the only one on our list "whose man is dead." Dozens—I think I may even say hundreds—of these Red Stockings are destined (with our permission and help) to find their way into homes where some poor woman is struggling to be both the man and the woman of the family. Only those who have stood by and watched some such struggle know the agony through which they go; know the bravery of the fight; know the gallant way they meet the day's tragedy. It is little that we can do to help them. If we can save them from the added heartache of the Christmas morning questionnines --- of the child with an empty stocking, surely it is not too much to ask. There are 2500 children on the Red Stocking lists who are absolutely dependent upon us for all that they will know of Christmas. I don't want to disappoint them. Do you? The only way I know to avert the catastrophe is to induce you to come and take these empty stockings away and fill them with all the things the children love. WHY SPIRITUALISM HAS ALWAYS REFEN CONFEMNER First of all, kind reader, "ism" seems to be the greatest kind of a stumbling block to the name "Spiritualism." Have you ever stopped to think that "ism" is added to all re RT umbilee Singers. ligions, such as Baptism, Catholicism, and so on; in the name of all religions, and it seems quite a few Spiritualists who have not reached the higher plains as yet, or in other words, have not thoroughly gone through the old Book, which is known as the Bible, and found these words recorded there: "If you are as ashamed to own me before men I will be ashamed to own you before my Father in heaven," and it is the general characteristic of the human family if one go astray in the family they are all condemned—for the one they must all be spurned, which is wrong, and very wrong. The same thing applies to mediums or seers of the day. As I have stated in former writings, there is high and low in all things. As soon as some people are able to see any spirit or a loved one return, they get in a hurry and out goes a card: "Fortune telling; bring about speedy wedding," and so on, for monetary purposes and for the good they can do for mankind, and to help fallen humanity. It is that big round dollar with "In God we trust" on it. "I love the people, or help suffering humanity. It is that big round dollar with "In God we trust" on it. "I love the people, or help suffering humanity. Naturally, no one can be on a very high plain who cannot see any farther than the almighty dollar. When you find a would-be medium going ```markdown ``` from door to door, or advertising themselves, they do not respect the old Book in which you find, "Seek ye the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all things will be added." That means material as well as spiritual—all things. Then, I have often heard mediums cannot get anything for themselves. Then pray tell me, how can they get anything for you? Jesus was the greatest medium the world has ever known. He healed the sick, foretold the past, present and future, which was the only religion handed down to man, and its name is "Spiritualism." Kind reader, in the old Book we read: "What is the letter without the spirit?" How plain. No wonder we read again in said book: "The way is so plain that a fool or way-faring man need not err." Spirit is never credited, but all is recorded to man and without spirit what would man be? Without the spirit the body is lifeless, and the spirit never dies, only the body. Whenever the spirit leaves the body at the hour of transition, the body goes back to earth, from whence it came, and the spirit back to God, who gave it. So you see, kind reader, the spirit is the real man and also the God part in all mankind. Let us strive to be a light in this world of care; Let us estrew flowers of love every-where. Let us elevate our thoughts to a higher plain. Where sweet peace and harmony shall always reign. Like the roses let us drop petals here and there; Let us cultivate our garden with the greatest of care; Let us prime out the weeds as we go each day. That our blossom may send its perfume on the way. At the day of harvest a boquet grand and rare Will add like jewels to a crown over there. Where we will sing praises among the kings on high. And watch through ages with that all-seeing eye. —Florence E. Snyder. Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary. The twenty-fifth anniversary or Silver Wedding of Rev. and Mrs. E. R. Driver was celebrated in their home at 1527 East 22nd street, last evening. Rev. Wm. A. Washington, pastor of Bethel Church of Christ, master of ceremonies, opened by reading the 15th chapter of St. John. Rev. Dr. J. 5th Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, offered a most fervent prayer, which stirred the hearts of all. After prayer Dr. Washington reviewed the life of Rev. and Mrs. Driver from his personal knowledge, having known them for nearly 18 years. Dr. Washington in his address made all to know Dr. Driver and wife from a different view. His address was a masterly one. Dr. Gordon followed Dr. Washington and as all Los Angeles knows Dr. Gordon's ability to say things, it goes without saying that his address was filled with wisdom and sound advice. Dr. Gordon made all to laugh when he told of the secret of how Mrs. Driver had succeeded in raising her boys. Mrs. Driver followed Dr. Gordon. Mrs. Driver came forward with a smiling face, telling of how and why she had enjoyed 25 years of married life with her devoted husband. Her story sand into the hearts of all who heard her. Her talk brought new thoughts to the wives, as well as to the husbands; A beautiful paper was read by Mrs. Roda Daniels on behalf of the W. B. B. Workers, and Mrs. Henrietta Maxie presented the presents. Rev. Dr. Driver was then called upon to say a word, and as all are aware of the ability of Dr. Driver to speak, the whole audience with marked attention was turned toward him, and his words sounded on our ears and in our hearts as one welding heavy steel.

Tyler battled valiantly in the Superior Court before Judge York in the case of S. B. Battye vs. the Hippodrome Theatre, the best he could get was what might be called a Mexican stand-off. While winning his suit for his client, the amount awarded, $10, was insignificant. The Eagle fails to see why the judge could find the defendant guilty at all, if he was not to give damages commensurate with the indignity and beating that Batty took at the hands of the bouncers at the Hippodrome, simply because he insisted on his God-given rights as an American citizen. With this case and others which daily are handed us, is it any wonder that we look heavenward and say, "O, Lord! how long must we endure this until Thy salvation comes?"

Rev. Edmonds of the A. M. E. Z. church and the pastor of the Boyle Heights Mission, was present and preached for us on Sunday night. His discourse was helpful and logical and he was listened to with a great deal of pleasure.

The Pastor will preach a special sermon on Sunday morning and the choir will render a special sacred concert on Sunday night.

All day last Sunday, the regular services were held as usual at the Christian church and preaching by the pastor was enjoyed by those who heard him. At the evening service the pastor took for his subject. "The Midnight Friend." In his discourse, he spoke of those friends we have in the day time, those we have when all is running smothly, and those we have at all times and on all occasions. "Christ is always our friend," he said, "even in the midst of the night when all others have forsaken us. He is with us still, always reidy and willing to help those in need, those who will let Him help." At that hour, Brother Latouche offered his resignation. It to take effect next Sunday evening. Dec. 24. The reason he gave was that he thought he could do better in some other place. He intends to preach his farewell sermon next Sunday night.

Under the leadership of the new pastor, E. W. Kinchen, Scott Chapel has come into her own and is commanding a position of vital help help to the community. This help does not come alone from the active life of the pastor, but from the energy and service of every member of the church. Unusual numbers attend each service and the collections are way above the average for a church of its size. The church is bending every effort to make the rally on the fourth Sunday of January a great success and everything indicates that success will be had. On New Years' day Scott Chapel has rented a restaurant near the corner of Fair Oaks and Colorado streets to serve the people who will crowd the Crown City on the day of the floral parade. The Sunday school will have Christmas exercises on the evening of Christmas day. Pastor Kinchen will preach at both services on the Sabbath bringing a Christmas message in each sermon. The Epworth League will have a special program Sunday evening. The first part of the evening Bible readings will be conducted by Sister Wilson and the special musical and literary program under the direction of Misses Arbezine Lee and Louise Beavers. There were four ministers' sons in the game Tuesday, and every one played brilliant football, which goes to show that football ability is not inherited. They were J. Riddle, A. Kinchen, H. Rozier, and W. Dyett. Sunday Outings SINAMORA PACIFIC San Francisco Advertising San Francisco Ads. 537 BROADWAY MUSETTE. TAILOR, San Francisco, Cal.

KERCHIEF CASES WALKING STICKS SHIRT SETS STICK PINS SUSPENDERS CIOAR CASES HAYER DRESSES Rochester proposes to celebrate the one hundredth birthday of Frederick Douglas, which occurs on February 15, 1917. Rochester should not be alone in honoring the memory of the great dead. The entire country should join in the movement and fittingly celebrate the centennial of one who was not only a great colored man but a great American. Few of America's sons have handed down to posterity so high a conception of the ideals of real Americanism, as has this dark-skinned son who was born in the bonds of slavery, but burst those bonds to make a name for himself, and uncessatingly while he lived to battle for his enslaved race. Arriving in Rochester a fugitive Frederick Douglas won the esteem of the multitude, rose to honor and lived to adorn the city of his adoption. Rochester, recognizing his worth, has erected a statue to his memory in the heart of that city. Now she proposes to further honor or herself by honoring him and through him the race he represented. Will Rochester be alone? Frederick Douglas was a great American, but there are few great Americans today, except perhaps in Rochester. The small Americans are still inclined to judge ability by the color or of its shell. The Douglas Centennial Celebration should be a nation-wide event, but there are still localities—both South and North—that have not yet reached that point on the intellectual compass that would guide them to such catholic action. But recognition of this deplorable fact, should not deter the colored millions and those whites, broad-minded enough to recognize worth and ability in any guise from celebrating the centennial of one worthy of the highest honors. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL DAY AT THE FORUM, DEC. 31 Sunday, Dec. 31, 1916, the citizens of Los Angeles will hold memorial services in honor of our late lamented Dr. Washington, who died Nov. 14, 1915 Prominent members will make the program replete with interest. No city west of the Rockies has given anything toward the $500,000 fund which is to be raised by our people. It is because of this reason, out of pride and because of the respect we hold for the deceased, and the desire to see the school go forward, that the people of Los Angeles are going to raise a fund. When New York City gives $5000, Baltimore $2500 and even Dallas, Tex., $625, Los Angees shoud give $250. This movement is to extend to every church, lodge, men's and women's club and association to make this fund assured. The amounts will be published as they given.

He was so skilled in the art of carpentering, that he got the nick name of "fix-it" Barnes, with the railroad company, and has been offered a job at any time that he wants it, by them. He feels better being his own employer, and we hope that other young men will see the point as he does. SAN BERNARDINO Sunday was quarterly meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. church.

June Term, 1916, for damages in the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. On account of an error in the petition as to jurisdiction the Court held that the case should be brought in the District State Court of the County in which the wrongs were committed and not originally in the Federal Court. Facts about the case: In August, 1915, General J. Franklin Bell, the Board of Trade and the Mayor of Texas City ordered seven thousand United States soldiers and all of the city policemen to round up the whole of the Negro population in Texas City. This order did not include any other nationality. This shameful and disgraceful act was obeyed to the letter and the spirit in which it was given. After having driven men, women and children through the streets under guards on horseback armed with pistols and army guns, like cattle to a selected place, there they separated husbands from wives and children from parents. The organized the men in squads of ten and placed United States soldiers over each squad, making them work the streets all day and jailed them at night. There were about two hundred men, three hundred women and two hundred children. Often the men were forced to get into water waist deep without pay in cleaning up the streets of Texas City. Many of the men were beat over the head with pistols. At night they were compelled to sleep on a cement floor without bedding of any kind. Treatment accord the women: Our women were separated from their husbands and placed in another building sixteen blocks away unprotected. Many of them were insulted by the soldiers. One old lady was carried there on a cot. She was very much excited and shocked by the treatment and did not live very long after the prison camp closed. The prison camp lasted for the long period of five days and nights. This concerns the whole Negro race throughout the world.

It looks as though we will soon have to use cotton handkerchiefs, so while they are still obtainable and reasonable, I could use a couple of dozen nice sheer ones (25c to 75c each). I am a candidate for admission into some new pajamas ($1.50 to $8.50). As I sleep in a sleeping porch, I prefer the flannelette sort, ($1.50 to $3). A HOUSE COAT would be a big improvement on the old coat I wear around the house, ($5 to $20). MY SILK HAT is a little behind the times, ($6 to $8). It is about time I had a new pair of GLOVES, but unless someone gives them to me, I shall probably go on wearing my soiled ones, ($1 to $5). Everyboy thinks he is harder on SOCKS than anybody else. I am. Some silk socks would certainly come in handy, ($50c to $2.50). And if anybody wants to save me a nice bit of money as well as improve my appearance, I am a candidate for a NEW SUIT OF CLOTHES or a NEW OVERCOAT, (suits $15 to $40; overcaps $15 to $40).

More than twelve little guests were present and a jolly affair it was... The Cadillac had a large crowd of fashionable people at the tables on Sunday night, eating of the various tasty dishes which were prepared by that fastidious cook. The remarks heard at a nearby table were: "He knows how to cook, and he knows how to season as well as zarnish his dishes. Yes, he must have learned his art in New Orleans, for those are the only cooks who can please us people." Say, they say he is going to prepare some chickens next week. We will have to come. What say you? The last week's of the Fair at San Diego promises to be very interesting and all who have not visited this magnificent display should avail themselves of this, their last opportunity, as there are to be many special attractions. The Angelus theatre has done a fair business during the last few weeks. Now there is one small affair that they should give their attention to and that immediately: they should see that the little boys observe better order and decorum whilst in theatre. It has been said they are too boisterous and run in and out too often during the entertainments, which should and must be stopped, and that at once CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends and everyone who assisted us during our recent bereavement of our dear daughter and niece, Mrs, Grace Roberta Carter, and we wish to thank them for the many beautiful floral offerings presented.

Who would profit thereby. Everybody is busy in San Diego. Mrs. Al. Ramesey is enjoying herself buying Christmas presents. We m in the afternoons by spending her and greet them, but they are leisure hours in Golden Hill Park. busy to have any news. However, she says that she is living in the M. E. church is planning a big ra neighborhood of the ne'er-do-wells for Christmas Eve night. Mt. Z. Not as you like it, but as they do it in San Diego. A young man called at the Eagle office and inquired of the reporter "what's best to give a lady friend to retain her." He was informed that the girls nowadays are like a horse in a selling stake. If they win they are bid up, but may be retained by the owner with an additional "five;" if they lose, any one "in the race," with te additional 300 can claim her, in which you have no recompense. Mr. A. A has a habit of using the Eagle phone every Sunday morning because he is a free privileged character, trying to make good with the other fellow's girl. Oh, well let him go; he's talking to a stranger. Members and friends of Mt. Zion Baptist church surprised their pastor, Rev. Williams, on his 52nd birthday and he received some very useful presents, which he praised highly. SAN DIEGO DRY AS BONES OF JOB'S TURKEY Clubs and Cafes in City Without Liquor Licenses. Since December 11, there have been no liquor licenses issued to any clubs or cafes, pending the decision of the court as to appointing a Chief of Police on whose shoulders shall rest the responsibility of licensing the cafes and clubs. Cafes will be dry Christmas and no doubt New Year's Day. There is no favoritism shown in this decision. The Grant Grill, the Cabrillo at our Exposition, and all the leading clubs are equally affected. The old saying is "Yesterday never existed and tomorrow never will be," won't do to tell a certain married man who stayed out until 2 a.m. before Christmas when he looks at that self-rising mole on his eye and hears the cry of the little ones in the adjoining room. Providing he is a British subject from the West Indies, as a sailor on one of the battleships stated, who had just arrived from that port. There is a penalty of $20 to any man who strikes one of those subjects, regardless of whether you are in the right or wrong. Soldiers, sailors or policemen on duty are not exempted from this penalty. A sailor tells of giving one the whole railroad track ad he came down in the ditch and he (the sailor) struck him. What did he do that for? He just struck out $20. The L. A. White Sox were defeated by the local men, 7 to 3 last week. "Lonnie" should give his men more training, as they seem to be subject to errors, and remember, that first baseman is not the California Tower. We want you to see our Fair before it closes that through your life you may be able to speak about it intelligently. So, why not arrange to spend your vacation in San Diego? People here always welcome you You are no stranger and the law protects all law-abiding citizens. We want you all and the children to see the Fair. All of those present at the literary society enjoyed a very pleasant evening last Tuesday. A goodly number were present; a very fine rectation was rendered by Mrs. Williams. The remainder of the evening was spent in a debate in regard to mixed schools, in which Mrs. C. E. Norwood brought out many fine points. We hope that you will come out next meeting, January 2. A very interesting debate and program will be held. Come one, come all and enjoy the evening Off days will be Wednesdays instead of Mondays at the Tia Juana race tracks, in order to give the Los Angeles and other people Monday in the city. However, Tuesdays and Fridays will continue to be ladies' days, which are free to all ladies through the courtesy of Mr. James J. Croftroth, President; "Sunny Jim," as they call him. He always has a pleasant smile for every everyone. It has been "Casey at the bat," but in this case, it has been our Colored boy Casey at the bit. True to his Irish name, Tuesday unconsciously he killed the long shot kid on Plume. If you don't follow him, you will have an aching heart. Mr. Will Evans says he is through with the Casey mount, but he is through to his sorrow. Roy Orford laid $5000 against the Casey mount; DEPARTMENT SANTA FE & HOME INDUSTRY CIGARS A.

The Second Baptist church is also planning for Christmas Eve Day. If the Black and Tan doesn't quit playing that teasing music every Wednesday night at the Kastle Hall, they will have everybody doing that "measly glide." Even Old Man Jackson, from Spring Valley, was trying it a few nights ago. Mr. White, of Loma Portal, sets down on that one string violin. When a man's music is so soothing that it makes wife smile, you know that the other girls can't help but make those eyes. A lady sat across the hall and wanted everybody to move so that she could always see the strands and what Mr. Harris blows from that cornet makes your dancing partner press you close up to her breast. You cannot afford to miss the Christmas and New Year's ball. What place? Why. Kastle Hall. field said they bid it to their sorrow. About 3000 people say that "N Casey couldn't ride; they saaid it to their sorrow. But Sunday, 5000 people cheered Casey and said he is one he is one of the greatest apprentices in the country. Mr. Will Collins is all smiles nowadays. Mr. Stakes seems to be holding his own. The different lodges are planning many functions for the holidays. The B. Y. P. U. seems to have the city by storm. The uplift clubs, also the sewing circle is on the firing line for the social week. Even the Eagle reporter has been too busy to find any news this week. As the old saying goes: "Christmas is coming," but we say Christmas is here. Remember, dear friends, I do not profess to be any Hearst, but Ive been trying to do the best in furnishing news for the many Eagle readers. Anyway, yesterday never existed and tomorrow never will be in paper light. You should write for today. As I sit here and look upon this white paper between these fixed walls that I have my liberty to pass and to from. I often wonder what I amount to. What do you amount to? What do any of us amount to? ALLENSWORTH Much praise is being given Allensworth by the papers of the County and Valley for its part played in the fair recently held in Visalia. The Allensworth Booth was a model of neatness and industry. Decorated in the fair colors, orange and green, with the stars and stripes in the background, it formed a fitting setting for the pictures of Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Col. Allensworth. Paul Lawrence Dunbar and other race heroes. Allensworth contributed its exhibits under Products of the Home, including quilts, needle work, rugs, pillows, canned fruit, pastry, etc. Products of the Farm, including alfalfa, barley, rice, beets, turnips, citron, pomegranates, beet and turnip seed, onions, eggs, cream, potatoes, etc.; Products of the School, including drawings, maps, booklets, outlines, writing, posters, etc. Another feature was about forty books on display, books by Negro authors; music by Negro composers, and through the courtesy of Mr. Harold Prince of Pasadena, a copy of nearly Negro newspaper published in the U. S. The exhibits and display were viewed and commented upon by vast throngs. Perhaps the crowning compliment paid Allensworth was the invitation by the Fair Committee to the Girls' Glee Club of the Public School to render a program Monday afternoon. Press and other announcements had prepared the public to expect a musical treat. A crowd that filled the Municipal Auditorium greeted the young people. The vociferous applause that followed each number rendered by the chorus, a quartet composed of Misses Smith and Archer, and solos by Miss Magistrate and Miss Ruth Merges showed that the audience was not disappointed. This is but the beginning of a splendid career for this aggregation of youthful singers. Allensworth was not satisfied with the above showing but insisted on prizes.

Thus on the one hand, we have the railroads of the United States, which represent a paper value of twenty billions of dollars and employ more than one and a half million persons, combining to fight the new law by injunction and supported by a new eight-billion dollar organization of capitalists called the National Industrial Conference Board, whose factories give employment to nearly seven million persons; and, on the other hand, the four hundred thousand members of four great railroad brotherhoods, backed by nearly three hundred thousand other organized railroad workers and by the two million members of the American Federation of Labor. The railroad companies, according to one of their official spokesmen, "are agreed to fight to the end" against the enforcement of the Adamson Law, which they are attacking in the courts as unconstitutional, indefinite, and unjust. But "a strike vote is still in effect." retorts W. G. Lee, head of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, "and if the railroads do not live up to the very spirit of the law, there is no reason why the brotherhoods should not take advantage of their strongest card." And Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor declares that "whatever steps the railroads may take to kill the Adamson Law, that law is going into effect January 1, and it will be enforced." Mr. Gompers goes on to say, with a rap at the Republican party and a dip into Shakespeare. "When the money power of the United States failed in the attempt to corrupt the electorate, and when their plans were upset by the votes of the citizenship of the United States, the capitalists showed their colors. They met PHONES: A-1877 MAIN 3149 FREE DELIVERY SOJOURNER TRUTH HOME Sojourner Truth Doings Our Employment Department is still calling for all classmates of workers. MRS. M. E. SCOTT. Pres. MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS. Sec. and gave out a declaration that they were going to antagonize every effort put forth by organized labor. "But, men of wealth. I say to you, be careful how far you go. Ther is a limit even to human endurance. You throw down the gauntlet and we accept the challenge. When the time comes, it will be another case of 'Lay on, Macduff, and damn'd be him that first cries 'Hold, enough!'" In addition to this promise of a direct trial of strength between capital and labor in the railroad world, we have the assurance of W. S. Carter, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen that organized labor will fight with every legal means at its command any attempt by Congress to enact legislation providing for compulsory arbitration in labor disputes. Some editors interpret this as meaning that labor will bitterly oppose any curtailment of its right to strike. If this view is correct, there may be serious opposition in Congress to the completion of President Wilson's program of labor legislation of which the Adams Law was only a part. One clause in this uncompleted program, the Washington correspondents remind us, would make it illegal to call a strike or a lockout on a common carrier before a complete Government investigation had made public the merits of the dispute. Thus are "the dragon's teeth sown so recklessly when the Adamson Law was jammed through Congress." producing their expected crop, remarks the Brooklyn Times, which sees the President confronted by "a tremendous task." For all "wide-spread breach between capital and labor must not be allowed to tear up the fabric of the Republic." "A memorable battle is in prospect." thinks the Brooklyn Eagle, and the Chicago Tribune admonishes the public not to shut its eyes to the gravity of the situation. Says this influential Chicago paper: "The problem is a difficult one, complicated by the power of the organized railway men to paralyze business for a time. This power is the crux of the whole problem. The public and Congress must deal with it. Quite naturally the, brotherhoods and their backers in the Federation have determined to prevent any limitation of this power. They will fight it, just as capital fights any restriction of its power. The public, which is vitally interested to defend itself from uncurbed power, whether that of labor or that of capital, must express itself in the solution of the railway problem. That the public shall remain defenseless, between the alternative of railroad paralysis and the indefinite increase of transportation cost is not to be tolerated. Its present predicament is a case of 'heads you win, tails I lose.'" Here is President Wilson's opportunity to confound those critics who accuse him of lacking "backbone," remarks the Richmond Evening Journal, which urges him to renew in his forth- coming message to Congress "those recommendations which were ignored in the rush legislation of painful memory." THOUGHTS WISE AND OTHERWISE Hilbert L. Rozier We all have our weaknesses. Vacations is mine. However, vacations cannot be afforded this time of year, so you can look for "Wise and Otherwise" regular until further notice. The girls are asked not to read the following article: This is the time to be humored by the girls. No danger of being "shaken" this near Chr— Ahem! I mean, this time of year. Speaking of football, well, it seems that as in everything else, "the Negro has to be in it." There are enough of our boys playing on the various H. S. teams of Southern California to make up a team that would "paint California red." if given the chance afforded other boys. The fact that we were beaten Tuesday is just the reason why we are going to win Friday. You'll have to admit that seven men can't beat eleven doing anything except losing. Pasadena has a good team, but we have a better. If you don't believe it come out to Exposition Park Friday and watch our boys regain lost honors. The L. A. Pleiades was formerly the Y. M. C. A team, but has been organized into an athletic club. The game with Pasadena Friday is going to be a hum-dinger (whatever that means) and with no admission, you can't afford to miss it. There will be no game Christmas, but there will be SOME game Friday after. ANSWERS TO QUERIES Q. A reliable gentleman told me that since the re-election of Wilson every bank will be closed up, four months after inauguration day. Do you think he is right? A. I have no doubts that he is, since the banks usually close on the Fourth of July. (Ahem.'—deep stuff. PASADENA. WINS FROM FAST L. A. PLEIADES CLUB, 20-12 Hilberte L. Rozier After playing all season without a single defeat or even been scored upon the fast Pleiades Athletic Club, formerly the Y. M. C. A. team, was defeated by a streak of ill luck, by the Pasadena team, Tuesday, at Pasadena H. S. grounds. With only seven men, the Los Angeles boys fought, but without the other four men they were no match for the Crown City lads. Baker and Patterson were the stars for the Angel City boys and although they were battling against terrible odds, these two gridiron comets played rings around their opponents. Davis and Dyett played a brilliant game for the Pasadenans, both hitting the line (such as was left) for substantial gains. This was a 'good game' a battle from start to finish, but the best is yet to come. Next Friday, at Exposition Park the final contest will be waged, and if you want to see a heart-breaker be there at 1:30 sharp.

SAN DIEGO DRY AS BONES OF i _ JOBS TURKEY * / Clubs and Cafes in City Without Liquor Licenses. : | | Since December 11, there — have been no liquor licenses issued to any clubs or cafes, pending the decision of the court as to appoiliting a Chief of Police on whose’ shoulders shall rest the responsibility of licens- ing the cafes and clubs.

ALLENSWORTH | | “Much praise is being given Allens. worth by the papers of the County and Valley for its part played in the fair recently held in Visalia. The Allensworth Booth was a model of neatness and industry. Dee- crated in the fair colors. orange ané ‘green, with the stars and stripes. in ‘the background. it formed a fitting setting for the pictures of Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Col.

Another fea- ture was about forty books on dis- play, books by Negro authors; music by Negro composers, and _ through the courtesy of Mr. Harold Prince of Pasadena, a copy of nearly every Ne- zero newspaper published in the U. S. ‘The exhibits and display. were viewed and commented upon by vast throngs. Ec i Perhaps the crowning compliment paid Allensworth was the invitation by the Fair Committee to the Girls’ Glee Club of the Public School to render a program Monday afternoon. Press and other announcements had prepared the public to expect a mu- sical treat. A crowd that filled the Municipal Auditorium greeted the young people. The vocifetous ap- plause that followed each -number rendered by the chorus, a quartet composed of Misses Smith and Arch- er, and solos by Miss Margaret and Miss Ruth Prince, showed that, the audience was not disappointed. This is but the beginning of a splendid career for this aggregation of youth- ful_ singers. ‘Allensworth was not satisfied with the above showing but insisted on prizes.

FOR SALE—High class property on Washington street, west of Centra avenue, at a moderate price on terms TOPICS OF THE DAY Renewal of the Railroad Labor War The grim possibility of an enormous labor war this winter that will dislocate industry and transportation and bring distress to the entire country is seen by some in the general mobilization of the forces of labor and capital behind the leaders of railroad labor and railroad capital in their pending battle over the enforcement of the Adamson Eight-hour Law. Thus, on the one hand, we have the railroads of the United States, which represent a paper value of twenty billions of dollars and employ more than one and a half million persons, combining to fight the new law by injunction and supported by a new eight-billion dollar organization of capitalists called the National Industrial Conference Board, whose factories give employment to nearly seven million persons; and on the other hand, the four hundred thousand members of four great railroad brotherhoods, backed by nearly three hundred thousand other organized railroad workers and by the two million members of the American Federation of Labor. The railroad companies, according to one of their official spokesmen, "are agreed to fight to the end" against the enforcement of the Adamson Law, which they are attacking in the courts as unconstitutional, indefinite, and unjust. But "a strike vote is still in effect," retorts W. G. Lee, head of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, "and if the railroads do not live up to the very spirit of the law, there is no reason why the brotherhoods should not take advantage of their strongest card." And Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor declares that "whatever steps the railroads may take to kill the Adamson Law, that law is going into effect January 1, and it will be enforced." Mr. Gompers goes on to say, with a raap at the Republican party and a dip into Shakespeare "When the money power of the United States failed in the attempt to corrupt the electorate, and when their plans were upset by the votes of the citizenship of the United States, the capitalists showed their colors; They met PHONES: A-1877 MAIN 3149 FREE DELIVERY SOJOURNAL - CENTRAL CLUB WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Our Employment Department is still calling for all classers of workers. MRS. M. E. SCOTT, Pres. MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS, Sec. and gave out a declaration that they were going to antagonize every effort put forth by organized labor. "But, men of wealth, I say to you, be careful how far you go. Ther is a limit even to human endurance. You throw down the gauntlet and we accept the challenge. When the time comes, it will be another case of 'Lay on, Macduff, and damn' be him that first cries 'Hold, enough'" In addition to this promise of a direct trial of strength between capital and labor in the railroad world, we have the assurance of W. S. Carter, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen that organized labor will fight with every legal means at its command any attempt by Congress to enact legislation providing for compulsory arbitration in labor disputes. Some editors interpret this as meaning that labor will bitterly oppose any curtailment of its right to strike. If this view is correct, there may be serious opposition in Congress to the completion of President Wilson's program of labor legislation of which the Adamson Law was only a part. One clause in this uncompleted program, the Washington correspondents remind us, would make it illegal to call a strike or a lockout on a common carrier before a complete Government investigation had made public the merits of the dispute. Thus are "the dragon's teeth, sown so recklessly when the Adamson Law was jammed through Congress." producing their expected crop, remarks the Brooklyn Times, which sees the President confronted by "a tremendous task." For a "wide-spread breach between capital and labor must not be allowed to tear up the fabric of the Republic." "A memorable battle is in prospect," thinks the Brooklyn Eagle, and the Chicago Tribune admonishes the public not to shut its eyes to the gravity of the situation. Says this influential Chicago paper: "The problem is a difficult one, complicated by the power of the organized railway men to paralyze business for a time." This power is the crux of the whole problem. The public and Congress must deal with it. Quite naturally the brotherhoods and their backers in the Federation have determined to prevent any limitation of this power. They will fight it, just as capital fights any restriction of its power. The public, which is vitally interested to defend itself from uncurbed power, whether that of labor or that of capital, must express itself in the solution of the railway problem. That the public shall remain defenseless between the alternative of railroad paralysis and the indefinite increase of transportation cost is not to be tolerated. Its present predicament is a case of 'heads you win, tails I lose.' Here is President Wilson's opportunity to confound those critics who accuse him of lacking "backbone," remarks the Richmond Evening Journal, which urges him to renew in his forth- THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE coming message to Congress "those recommendations which were ignored in the rush legislation of painful memory." THOUGHTS WISE AND OTHERWISE Hilbert L. Rozier We all have our weaknesses. Vacations is mine. However, vacations cannot be afforded this time of year, so you can look for "Wise and Otherwise" regular until further notice. The girls are asked not to read the following article: This is the time to be humored by the girls. No danger of being "shaken" this near Chr— Ahem! I mean, this time of year. Speaking of football, well, it seems that, as in everything else, the Negro has to be in it. There are enough of our boys playing on the various H. S. teams of Southern California to make up a team that would "paint California red." if given the chance afforded other boys. The fact that we were beaten Tuesday is just the reason why we are going to win Friday. You'll have to admit that seven men can't beat eleven doing anything except losing. Pasadena has a good team, but we have a better. If you don't believe it come out to Exposition Park Friday and watch our boys regain lost honors. The L. A. Pleiades was formerly the Y. M. C. A. team, but has been organized into an athletic club. The game with Pasadena Friday is going to be a hum-dinger (whatever that means) and with no admission, you can't afford to miss it. There will be no game Christmas, but there will be SOME game Friday after. ANSWERS TO QUERIES Q. A reliable gentleman told me that since the re-election of Wilson every bank will be closed up four months after inauguration day. Do you think he is right? A. I have no doubts that he is, since the banks usually close on the Fourth of July. (Ahem!—deep stuff!) PASADENA WINS FROM FAST After playing all season without a single defeat or even being scored upon, the fast Pleides Athletic Club, formerly the Y. M. C. A. team, was defeated by a streak of ill luck, by the Pasadena team, Tuesday, at Pasadena H. S. grounds. With only seven men, the Los Angeles boys fought, but without the other four men they were no match for the Crown City lads. Baker and Patterson were the stars for the Angel City boys and although they were battling against terrible odds, these two gridiron comets played rings around their opponents. Davis and Dyett played a brilliant game for the Pasadenaans, both hitting the line (such as was left) for substantial gains. This was a good game—a battle from start to finish, but the best is yet to come. Next Friday, at Exposition Park the final contest will be waged, and if you want to see a heart-breaker be there at 1:30 sharp.
