RIOTS IN WASHINGTON
Rockford Mayor Received K. of P. with Open Arms
Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro
RIO Rockford Mayo K. of P. wi
Rockford, Ill., July 25.
With tears rolling down his cheeks, Mayor Few, of Rockford, said in welcoming session of K. of P. Grand Lodge: "This city is free from bombs, free from Jim Crowism, free from discrimination of any sort. Rockford knows no man by the color of his skin. We welcome you not as Negroes, but as American citizens."
That the sacrifices made by thousands of black boys who lost their lives in the great European conflict, the agonies undergone by men, both white and black, to gain the rights of colored people, were not in vain, that the democracy which has heretofore been only a meaningless pretense, is now being cemented into the very hearts of the American people, was evidenced by the speech of Rockford's Mayor, who shall be known fouse cracked in the war justice as Abra-
Mayor Sheds Tears
Mayor said in part with tears in eyes, "If the American people do give such men as you equal justice are the courts, equal opportunity to rsue happiness in your own way as it oes to other Americans, they will have to bow their heads in shame and admit that they are not worthy of the name of a republic." There is no place in this city for bombthrowers, lynchers, Jim Crowers in the factories, hotels, and restaurants. In the restaurants you are as welcome as any citizens of any color. I look back a few months and see 75,000 black soldiers whose presence in this city was a source of pleasure to every one and whose departure was an equal regret."
Audience Goes Wild
Every handkerchief in the audience was saturated with tears of joy. The audience was equally mixed with citizens of both races. When the Mayor took his seat, the crowd was frantic. Their enthusiasm cannot be described, their demonstration cannot be compared.
Hon. Fred Sterling Speaks
The audience had just about recovered from their pandemonium when the
Less Crime in Chicago By Chas Alien
Can You Attribute It to the Heat or Prohibition?
In making the rounds of the police stations, you find the station men idling their time away playing some innocent game, the lock-up keeper drowsily looking on, and if you look into the cells, you will find them mostly empty. The police claim that all the wrong doers are either conscience stricken or taking a vacation.
The emergency hospitals all claim a dearth in lacerated scalps and shootings. They, too, have practically nothing to do.
Is the hot weather the cause of this wave of good behavior or is it prohibition? We give it up, its too deep.
Mob Leaders Fined
Bay Minette, Ala., July 25—Twenty-six out of twenty-eight men pleaded guilty to the charge of being in the mob that shot and killed Frank Foukal, in his cell. After these murderers had pleaded guilty to taking a human life, they were let off by payments of fines. A few got sentences of hard labor.
The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY
Hon. Fred Sterling, State Treasurer, was introduced. He was not so eloquent as the Mayor, but by the citation of instances where in his private and public life he has not allowed color to be a handicap to any man or woman seeking to better their condition.
Major Jackson Replies
Alderman Jackson, commonly known as 'Fighting Bob,' ran true to form in his reply to these gentlemen, assuring them that if public officials all over the country had hearts as white and backbones as strong as theirs, there would be no race problem to solve.
Miss Ethel Blake, one of the local society belles, further electrified the audience with a soprano solo, that would have done honor to some of the operatic stars of the Metropolitan Company.

Cigar Store Raided; Case of Police Inefficiency
A cigar store owned and operated by Jack Hardy, at 31st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, was the scene of a police raid. It is said the minions of the law, headed by detective sergeant Burns, of the Cottage Grove Station, entered in their bullying way and arrested every one within reach, including proprietor and customers who were in the act of making purchases. People who saw the arrest, claim it was outrageous the way these so-called detectives acted.
The police claim that a brooch was stolen by a white insurance collector and that said trinket was left with Jack Hardy, the proprietor, for safe keeping. After rifling the cash register, turning over stock, and everything in general, not finding what they sought, they turned to the customers, after searching them, they called the wagon and carried them all to the detective bureau, where they went through the same procedure that hardened criminals are put, failing to find any evidence upon which they could hold these innocent men, they released them.
Mr. Hardy's place having been left without any one in charge, when he returned found that his stock was much depleted, twelve boxes of cigars, and many packages of cigarettes had disappeared.
The accused says: "Charges of false arrest will be lodged against Burns and his crowd of misinformed ambassadors of the law."
Chauffeur Murdered At Cabaret
Sidney Dubose, 30 years employed at the old Pekin Inn Cabaret at 27th and State Streets, shot and instanti-killed Minor Shannon, a taxicab driver at 3 A. M. Thursday morning, in midst of a large crowd, following an argument over parking a car.
One of the most audacious murders ever witnessed in this city happen Thursday morning while crowds of midnight joy seekers were struggling for standing room in the Old Pekin Hall. The mirth of this gay crowd was turned into sadness, when the smoke of a high caliber revolver had cleared away and the pandemonium, which caused a wild rush for the exits, had ceased, to see the form of Minor Shannon lying prostrate upon the concrete, face foremost, as the result of the well directed aim of Sidney Dubose.
The trouble started following an argument over parking a car. Shannon, who owns a big, gray Hudson super six, which he used as a public vehicle, drove up in front of the Midnight Cabaret to deliver passengers, after which he remained in place. Dubose, "Sidney" demanded him to pull out of the way Paying no attention to the remarks of the doorman, Shannon leaps to the sidewalk and started to enter the hall. "Sidney" remonstrated with him in very harsh words. From this point, a very brief, but what turned out to be a fatal argument, started.
Draws Revolver
Sidney became so enraged by the indifference of the taxi driver, it is said, drew his revolver from his pocket and fired twice in rapid succession, one bullet going wild and the other entering the left lung of his victim, just below the heart. Shannon fell to the cement pavement below and died before medical attention could be procured.
The police were very vigilant, having apprehended the slayer before he had any possible chance to escape the impending consequences of his crime.
The remains of the murdered man were taken to the undertaking establishment of Dan Jackson, at 33rd and State Streets, where an inquest was held.
Minor Shannon was 33 years old and resided in an apartment at 114 Mecca Building.
SOLDIERS' TRIAL STOPPED
Private Walker Pleads Insanity Rockford, Ill., July 25—Private Elizar Walker, one of the men on trial for alleged assault on a white woman in May, 1918, at the camp, has entered a plea of insanity. This plea of the defendant, will halt the trial of the Colored men, temporarily. Walker is on trial with twenty-one other soldiers, who were convicted of assaulting a Bloomington woman in May, 1918. These men were tried in the Winnebago County Court and were sentenced to hang. The case, being a military case, was then sent to President Wilson to review. The President was not satisfied with the evidence in the case and ordered a new trial. A court-martial board was appointed to review the case, and Colonel Youngs our erst-wild fighter, was appointed President of the Board. The case has been going on at Camp Grant. There have been many important rulings and changes in this case and the outcome is being watched with the keenest interest.
GRAVES TOURS WEST IN INTEREST OF THE WHIP
Jesse A. Graves, manager of the circulation department of The Chicago Whip, left the city Monday, in interest of the paper. He has thrown in the paths of the young people of this city, a big money-making proposition, by soliciting subscribers for The Whip, during their spare hours; and many of the young men and women have taken advantage of this grand opportunity, and are making good. While away, Mr Graves will place many other young men and women of the Race at work in soliciting subscribers for The Whip

Jesse A. Graves
He first made his appearance in the newspaper world at Des Moines, Iowa, as solicitor for the Des Moines Register and Leader, one of the leading dailies of the country. Since Mr. Graves left Des Moines, several good positions have been offered him, but he accepted the one with the Chicago Whip, because he says, "it is the coming weekly in this section of the country; as the Whip has spared no expense in securing a good staff. The staff of the Whip is second to none in ability." Mail $2.00 for one year's subscription to Jesse A. Graves, 3457 State street, Chicago, Ill. While away, Mr. Graves will visit the place of his boyhood days, his old home in Des Moines.
Three Wives Claim Him
New York, July 25—Theodore Lininston Jackson was brought into the Tombs Court yesterday accused of having three wives. To his disagreeable surprise, they were all at the station awaiting his majesty's arrival. Each in tears claiming him as their lawfully wedded husband.
No. 1 Vampire
When arraigned in the magistrates court, wife No.1, Virginia Burnett Jackson, was the first to appear on the scene. Jackson, in a very loud voice, vociferated: "Judge, that woman is a vampire. I thought I had seen the last of her, but to my surprise when I sat down in my soft rocker to enjoy some refreshments, a big, pale detective knocked on my door, and when I let him in he was cermoniously narrated that you requested the honor of my presence. That's kinda harsh, don't you think so, Judge?!" Magistrate Simpson did not seem to be favorably impressed with the eloquent testimony of the unusual character. So he ordered the charges of all of the wives placed on file and held Jackson under $2,000 bail to the grand jury. Jackson said he was superintendent of an apartment at 339 Madison Avenue.
Southern Red Cross Refuses Colored Soldiers Food
Corinth, Miss., July 25—At Corinth, Miss., Red Cross women refused coffee and sandwiches to soldiers on a troop train going through there, because the said soldiers were colored. The Y. M. C. A. secretary, who always goes along with a troop train, on arriving at Corinth, started in search of food for the boys. He soon espied the Red Cross with standwiches and coffee. After he had made known his wants to the Red Cross women, one replied "You have niggers, only." The secretary replied that he had Colored soldiers. But he was immediately told that they did not serve Colored soldiers. After being rebuked by the officer, they tried to compromise by offering to sell the coffee and sandwiches to the Colored soldiers. The Red Cross women averred that they did been informed that the train was to carry white troops.
It was told by some of Corinth's leading citizens, that only a few days before this episode, a mixed troop train had passed through, and the Red Cross served the white soldiers only. But the officer in charge of the train, finding this to be true, refused to let them serve any of the soldiers.
8,000,000 FOREIGNERS TO RETURN TO EUROPE PASSPORTS ISSUED
(Special to The Whip)
What is destined to make the greatest economic change this nation has witnessed since the termination of the Civil War, is the mad rush of hyphenated Americans to leave the Stars and Stripes to return to the land of their nativity
Negro Labor in Demand
With these foreigners gone the only logical source from which the large industries can expect to re recruit their depleted labor ranks, will be the southern colored man. This means that at least 5,000,000 or over, about 50 per cent of the Negroes now tilling the fertile soil of Dixie for a mere pittance, will migrate to the Northeast and Northwest, thus leaving the sunny South gaping in despair, in the farmers' vernacular "to root Hog or die poor." Southern Papers Muzzle Facts From all angles, the tide of the times point to the inevitability of a serious predicament which the South will be thrown as a result of the vacancy caused by the rapid exodus of Colored people. The Southern newspapers are doing all in their power to keep the Colored citizens ignorant of the conspicuous place they are destined to hold in the realm of the labor world.
CARL SANDBURG
Newspaper Man, Author and Prize
Poet
Carl Sandburg, also humanitarian and student of the facts of life, is giving a series of articles on "Negro Conditions and Problems in Chicago" through the columns of the Chicago Daily News. So far Mr. Sandburg has written eight articles. Merit, close observation and fairness have been in evidence. Mr. Sandburg's work is*a decided improvement on that of his colleague, Junius Woods. However, four more articles are to appear next week, and we trust that at the eleventh hour Mr. Sandburg will not disclose any sinister ideas and policies.
Ten Dead, Hundreds Wounded Thousands In Jail
Washington, July 25. The friction between Races which has been brewing for the last ten days as a result of an alleged attack upon a white woman, by colored man, reached its crisis today when through the influence of the southern element, U. S. Soldiers and Sailors formed numerous mobs, attacking peaceful colored residents. During the battle, lasting for several hours, about five Negroes and five whites were killed, including a United States Sailor and a sergeant detective. With the Nations Capitol a veritable army camp, and more soldiers enroute, with machine guns, awaiting the order of the Secretary of War to declare martial law, the most serious clash on record is now in progress at the seat of President Wilson's Democracy.

Heiress Visits City Income $175 Per Day:
Miss B. D. Carrol, 24 years old, of Los Angeles, California, the richest single woman of the Race, with an income of $175 per day, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Preer, 57 E. 42nd street.
Miss Carrol is not only a woman of wealth, but is very highly educated. She is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music and also an alumnus of Oberlin College of Fine Arts. A glimpse of her reflects credit upon the curriculum of these institutions.
Rich Overnight
Miss Carrol is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Carrol of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol belong to the Creek Freedmen tribe. Each of the children of this tribe was given 160 acres of land by the State of Oklahoma, in 1912. When the oil boom started in that section, 40 acres of Miss Carrol's allotment were found to be heavily saturated with John D's liniment. She gave them permission to develop the land and the first drilling brought one of the biggest gushers in the history of that section. Shortly afterwards, five more wells were sunk, all of which are now producing.
She expresses a fondness for sports of all kinds, her favorite out-door pastimes are tennis and horseback riding. On the most beautiful parkway of Los Angeles, she can be seen daily, being admired by expert equestrians as an artist second to none in this sport.
In Chicago All Summer
Despite the fact that she has been kept busy receiving telephone messages, flowers, fruits and personal calls from Chicago's coterie of Beau Brummels, sufficient in number to make Eva Tangay fret, Miss Carrol modestly says that she has developed a certain amount of tolerance for the boys, and expects to remain in the city for the summer.

Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis and her
Committee of the 2nd Ward Council of
Defense have just been awarded their
honorable discharge in the form of a
beautiful engraved document from the
National Council of Defence, expressing
the hearty appreciation of the Government for the untiring service these earnest women gave during the entire period of the war. They are justly proud of this historic document.

held a mass meeting under the auspices of the National Race Congress, at which they pledged themselves to assist the authorities in every possible way to apprehend the alleged criminal and prevent further trouble. In the meantime, they further resolved to protect their homes, wives and children, if it cost the lives of every Negro in Washington. The action on the part of these doves of peace did not seem to affect very favorably nor aid materially in checking the onslaught of the blood-thirsty mob.
Negroes Buy Ammunition From
When the fiendish mob which was inexotic with the idea of lack of resistance on the part of the colored population, returned to renew their Monday night attack they found the ill underground railway, the colored people had secured from Baltimore stores and ammunition and were deployed for battle. During which the whites were so badly defeated. It is said that the Secretary of War decided to declare the town under martial law and place machine guns in the colored section of the city.
One of the most striking features of the determination on the part of the colored citizenize to protect their homes, was brought out by Carry M. Johnson, 17 year old girl, a student of Howard University, who climbed the walls of a tall apartment building, carrying with her, plenty of ammunition, nerve and well-directed aim. The first man to arrest her attention was Harris E. Wilson, a city detective. Without deliberation, she began immediately to get her range and start firing at will. When the smoke of her rifle had cleared away, the body of Wilson lay pale and cold upon mother earth. It is thought by the best citizens of both races that there will not be a recurrence of yesterday's program, as the government has decided to declare martial law.
Two Women Hold Up Mexican
An attempted hold-up by two unknown women, at 3003 Dearborn Street, resulted in a free for all melee, in which Andrew A. Costi, a twenty-one year old Mexican was severely wounded.
According to the Mexican's story, two women tried to hold-up another one of his countrymen, to whose rescue Occame. This attracted the attention five or six more bystanders who joined the fight during the free for all melee, Costi was rendered a severe blow in the head with a blunt instrument.
When the officers arrived on the scene, the crowd had fled. Costi was taken to Provident Hospital in the ambulance, where five stitches were taken in his head and his other wounds dressed. Costi says he is a laborer for Mor Company, Union Stock Yards.

Judge Terrell First Man to Shake the President's Hand
Washington, D. C., July
Washington, D. C., July 25—Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and the ranking Colored official now in the Federal service, was the first man to shake hands with President Wilson, Tuesday night, on his return to Washington.
A citizens' committee, appointed by the non-Partisan League, was to meet the President at the Union Station. Judge Terrell was the only Colored representative chosen, out of the entire committee. In view of the fact that Judge Terrell always represents his race with dignity and distinction, whatever the occasion, the selection of the non-Partisan League significantly fitting.
After the welcome address had been delivered by the President of the League and the response by the President, the President then began handshaking. The first to whom he turned was Judge Terrell, who is always on his job.
Judge Terrell will be remembered as the man who President Wilson appointed on the Bench of the Municipal Court for his fifth term. Although there came forth all kinds of protests from members of the Senate and other political factions, against the President's appointment, President Wilson has more than once given evidence to the fact that Judge Terrell has "made good." Throughout the District of Columbia and the nation at large, no man can be found who is as popular with both races, as Judge Terrell.
JAPANESE RADICALS GROWING IN POWER
Tokio, June 10—(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—Demand for more comfort for those who work for wages, and that fewer privileges be granted to the rich, are the fundamentals of a popular movement which is gathering form in Japan, and which is causing considerable uneasiness not only to the Government, but to representative Japanese in all spheres of activity. Socialism is attracting the interest of not only the working people, but of men holding important places in the domain of education. This general movement is partly the reflex of the labor unrest in foreign countries, and partly the result of a steadily growing revolt at home against the amassing of wealth by the
against the power of Japanese Socialists recently sent out manifestos to Socialists in foreign lands asking for a formal recognition of the Japanese body which has been organized under the name "Japanese Socialist Party." The Socialist Party of Italy sent a response conveying their willingness to recognize the Japanese Socialists as their friends and co-workers. Sen Katayama, the pioneer Socialist of Japan, is now abroad as the representative of his party at home. The attempt to promote Socialism, or a more radical doctrine, is being pushed now because of the awakening of the workers to what they regard as the evils of present economic and industrial conditions. The average Japanese workman is beginning to raise his voice for better pay and more freedom generally.
The central organization for working men in Tokio has addressed an open letter to the Home Minister, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, declaring that in case of war it is the working people of Japan who are called upon to defend its shores, and asking whether it is the national policy of Japan to allow capitalists to fatten while the workers are starving.
Dr. Jikel Yokoi of the Imperial University, in a public statement, says that democratic ideas long prevalent in the great cities have recently spread among the rural population. They have particularly affected, he said, school teachers, members of the young men's association, and army reservists.
Many Japanese scholars are reported to be enthusiastically studying Socialism. Laborers are openly interested, and are often heard discussing the subject in street cars.

Prof. Jas. A. Munday directed the song, America, in his usual, artistic manner. Mrs. A. L. Weaver, the President handled the entire program in a very complimentary manner. A piano solo Last Hope, by Gottschalk and Scotch Poem, by MaeDonald, was rendered by Miss S. Mae Donohue, of Helena Arkansas. In an address, Prof. W Harold Thomas, A.

Flower Vender Found Dead in Alley
Head Crushed by Unknown Party
Charlie Dunean, a flower vender, was found in an alley in the rear of 2947 with his skull crushed. The body was found by James Alexander, 3575 Rhodes avenue. Dunean's skull, evidently, had been crushed by a heavy iron bar, as the bar was found within a few feet of his body.
Duneynec well known around Chi, he had peddled flowers for the last years. Dunean had saved his money, as was evidenced by the roll he always carried, and the large bank account that he possessed.
The Cottage Grove Avenue police on examining Duncan's body, found $78 in money and a check for $15. But the familiar diamond that Duncan always wore was missing. This leads to the belief that Duncan met foul play on account of his diamond pin that he always wore. His body was removed to Jackson's Undertaking rooms at 3315 State street
What a Patient Says About G. Edward Taylor, Foot Specialist at 7230 Wentworth Ave.
Perhaps it is not all on account of the red blood in his veins that he is so enthused over his profession.
His method of making arch supports and treating the feet is a certain one, for it does not deal with contingencies.
It has revolutionized the whole scheme of support fitting for the feet, elevating it to the plane where it rightfully belongs. Perfect in operation, so comfortable and corrective in effects and proving so satisfactory to those who are enjoying its efficiency daily, that it stands pre-eminently above every other method used or devised.
SHIMMY NOTHING NEW
The origin of the "shimmy" dates back to ancient times. Statistics show that the "shimmy" was danced by the Apache Indians, as a sacred dance.

New York, July 19—The will of Alei ander Waters, 50, fled for probate in the Surrogate's Court, Brooklyn, yesterday, consists of only seven words and leaves an estate declared to be "more than $10,000" to Miss Zulma Powell, a colored woman, aged 35, who was a house-keeper in the decedent's home for a number of years.
"All I have belongs to Zulma," reads the will.
Alexander William Waters died suddenly in his office, 61 Broadway, Manhattan, July 3 last. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. He was sitting at his desk and had spoken of feeling ill. A premonition of impending death seized him. He took a large sheet of paper on the back of which was printed a "daily market letter," and wrote the seven words of his will on it in a large sprawling hand.
He Signs Will Twice
Then he signed it "A. W. Waters" twice, and, according to Edward J. Reilly, Miss Powell's lawyer, called two men in the office to witness it. They were I. W. Meggblade and Harry L. Torrance. In a few minutes Waters was dead, the paper on the desk before him. A policeman took possession of it. Waters lived at 228 Lincoln place, Brooklyn, near Eighth avenue, in one of the best sections of Brooklyn. A negro woman answered the bell at the three-story brownstone dwelling there yesterday. "Zulma Powell is out of town," she said, "and won't return until next week."
According to Mr. Reilly, Miss Powell has acted as Waters' housekeeper and nurse—his health was not always the best—since she was 19 years of age. When Waters moved to 228 Lincoln place from the home he had in Prospect place, she went with him. Waters owned the house, according to
Harrison Speaks to Railway Men
New York, July 25.—Ex-Judge Wm. H. Harrison, lecturer and orator of this hood Sleeping an address to the Brother-Union, which convened in 1855. Protective in New York City, that rivaled in every way all of his former attempts to expound the gospel of truth and progress.
Hall Packed
In one of the largest auditoriums in Harlem, through the diligence of Mr. B. W. Merriweather, 5,000 people gathered to show their appreciation to the Brotherhood Sleeping Car Porters Protective Union, who are in convention here. The intellectual palates of this vast throng were more than satisfied with the eloquence of Judge Harrison, who said in part, "This is a day of corporation, and sacrifice on the part of each individual in order to lay a better foundation for future Colored Americans."
2,500 New Members
The entire metropolitan citizenry became so saturated with the idea of the future good the railway men's organization would accomplish, Mr. Merriweather had very little trouble in making converts for his organization to the number of 2,500. Every one of which pledged himself not only to see how much he could get out of the organization personally, but to refuse to let a day pass, that they would not make a personal saerifice to put something into the organization to make it the strongest of its kind in America. General headquarters of the union will be in Chicago, under the direction of Mr. Merriweather, with Judge Harrison as general counsel.
We are willing to work and at the same time be courteous, but we are going to insist that we are men and as such entitled to a living wage and if there happens to be a stray tip here and yonder, we can not be censored for accepting same, but we are not going to accept tips alone as compensation for service well rendered and regard that as sufficient to provide for the needs of our families.

his mother, Mrs. Elona de Angelis Waters, 285 Empire Boulevard, Brooklyn. He kept one room for himself. The rest of the house was devoted to use as a high class boarding house. It is still being used for that purpose and, according to the woman who came to the door yesterday, Miss Zulma Powell is in charge.
The situation has been complicated by the fact that letters of administration were issued for the estate by Surrogate Wingate to the mother July 9. Mrs. Waters declared that no will had been found and added, that beside herself the following and no other were interested in the proceeding: David G. Waters, brother of the decedent; Malcolm C. Waters, brother, both of 285 Empire Boulevard; Charles T. Waters, brother, Lynbrook, L. L.; and Lena A. Thurston, sister, of Orange, New Jersey.
The mother said last night that the matter was in the hands of her lawyer, William C. Daly. To her it seemed, she said, as if her son was under the influence of his housekeeper and could not shake it off. It is her contention and the contention of her lawyer that the will is invalid.
Signed Too Late. Is Charge
The statement is made that the two men, whose names are attached to it, first saw the frail document after Watters had died and simply signed their names to it, one adding that the paper had been found on Waters desk. Mrs. Waters had not been served with notice of the probate of the will.
Waters was a bachelor. He was the general agent here of several large fruit growing associations on the Pacific coast and was born in Montreal. He was high in Masonic circles, was an Elk and a member of the American Bulldog Association. His mother said last night that she did not know just what the extent of her son's estate was. In the petition for letters of administration it was referred to as personal property not exceeding $500, real estate of a value unknown.
Waters was buried from the Aurora Grata Cathedral, Bedford avenue and Madison street, Brooklyn, July 6. Interment was in Maple Grove Cemetery.

"How Can I Miss When I Have DeadAim"
Monster Mass Meeting of Stock Yards Workers Held in Vacant Lot, West 47th and Robey Streets, Sunday, Afternoon, July 20th, at 2 P.M.
In the blazing sun a crowd of packing house workers estimated at 35,000 assembled around the automobile truck which served as the speakers' stand and listened to report of the officials of the Stock Yards Labor Council and received advice relative to the future activities of the council in behalf of the workers.
Brother Martin P. Murphy, President Stock Yards Labor Council, called the meeting to order and announced the purpose for which it was necessary to hold this meeting under the circumstances. After laying the matters before the people that were so vitally important to their interest and to the ones that are representing them, he introduced Brother J. W. Johnstone, Secretary Stock Yards Labor Council. Secretary Johnstone explained to those who had been implicated in the walkout that was the result of protest against working under police surveillance that arrange-
would have been removed and he desired that the men return to work and allow the council to formulate and present a wide scale that might possibly meet the proval of all the workers concerned. They would have the right to ratify every action the council attempts to make where their interest is involved and conditions will not be friendly between the workers if the packers continue to attempt to use the police to force unbearable conditions on these workers. Various police captains whose activity in the packing house districts has been directed against the interest of the workers, were brought in for their share of criticism as there is a noticeable lack of protection offered those workers against hold-up men, burglar and pickpockets. It seems that the functions of the police in this particular district has been grossly misapplied.
After Secretary Johnstone addressed the meeting, he read the letter received by the representative of the council from Judge Samuel Alschuler, and expressed his confidence in the men and assured them that the police would be entirely removed and they should return

to work and have all grievances brought through the regular channel, which would be adjusted with as little delay as possible. The result of the wage-scale committee will be announced and the demands formulated and presented at an early date, which will greatly lessen the dissatisfaction that has existed for some time.
John Kikulski, Polish organizer, was the next speaker and after he delivered his address in Polish, it was suggested that a motion be entertained in order to determine the attitude of the men. Mr. Moseleski, offered a motion in English and Polish and explained same to the workers and the vote to return to work was unanimous, after which the committee returned to council headquarters to confer with the shop stewards and acquaint the Judge with the action taken at the meeting. The workers were urged to continue to help add to their membership as there were yet a few workers who are not members of the organization and they must insist that everybody become a member in order to maintain an organization that will function properly in their behalf.
The campaign for a hundred per cent organization is going forward by leaps and bounds. At Executive Board meeting Local 651, many vital questions were discussed and action taken that will greatly change matters affecting the organization. Progressive measures were considered that will be a great benefit to the entire movement. This meeting was one of the best attended in the history of the Stock Yards organization campaign, which is remarkable from the fact that there was not a single piece of literature passed advertising the meeting, showing conclusively that people interested in the same thing can always be brought together. The best of order was maintained and there was not a single police officer visible in this great gathering.
We may expect an agreeable surprise coming out of the international convention as the delegates are all loaded and prepared to put over a number of "pot shots" that are going to make matters happen.

By John Eiley, A. F. of L. Organizer.
Police on duty in the yards since the protest against police "surveillance" on the part of the employees of Wilson & Company was somewhat diminished. The writer made a trip through the yards for the purpose of ascertaining how many of these officers were being used Saturday afternoon by the packers to intimidate working men and found that at 43rd and Ashland three were on duty; at 42nd and Ashland, two were taking it easy; at the entrance of Wilson & Co.'s plant on Ashland Avenue, one was in bold relief, attempting to prevent a building from falling by leaning against it; at 41st and Ashland, two healthy officers were discussing the Peace Treaty, comfortably seated on the shady side of the building.
Going east on Exchange Avenue, two were seen representing the Cavalry Squad on horses, apparently just riding around with nothing in particular to do; yet, we wonder why thieves, pickpockets, burglaries and dynamiters can never be caught and continue to terrorize peaceful citizens from time to time and we are compelled to be satisfied with reading various crimes that are committed by these denizens of the underworld.
It is reported that the employees of Libby, McNeil and Libby had occasion to resent certain impositions relative to conditions under which they were working and after an attempt to straighten matters out with the superintendent those in the cook and stuffing rooms approximately 300 in number, working on the 6th and 9th floors, quit work and walked away. The exact nature of what was the cause of this action on the part of the men is not definitely known.
A committee from the Stock Yards Labor Council and the A. F. of L. meets Colored Baptist Ministers' Alliance at 27th and Dearborn Streets, Monday, July 14th, at 2 o'clock p. m., and the result of the meeting promises to be the means of securing the aid and moral support of this group of leaders which will greatly aid the movement.
Wednesday night, July 16th, the committee representing the Stock Yards Labor Council and the A. F. of L. attended the A. M. E. Sunday School Convention that was in session at Bethel Church.

THE CHICAGO WHIP
We wonder if it is possible for someone that can reach some of the high-minded race-saviors who are opposed to the policies of the A. F. of L. in trying to maintain the spirit of the organization which is intensified through craft autonomy and let them know that it was not necessary that the Sleeping Car and Parlor Car Porters and Dining Car Employees be represented in the A. F. of L. convention at Atlantic City except as provided for through their international union, but if they had desired to have delegates there, they could have secured credentials and been seated in this convention. As their own international convention convenes on August 19th, it would have been an unnecessary expense to the organization to have sent delegates to the A. F. of L. convention. Suppose they are satisfied with the way they handle the business in the organization, hence why complain?
At the special meeting of Local 268, held at Johnson's hall, 3518 S. State Street, Thursday, July 17, 1919, matters were disposed of with precision and the meeting was a entering wedge through which various obstacles can be overcome and the progress of the local assured.
P. D. Campbell when seen the other day at the office of Local 268, 4300 S. State Street, although busy using every spare minute possible for the benefit of the organization, had time to smile and insist upon the will of the men being the predominating influence governing his actions in all matters.
30th and Dearborn Streets. After interviewing Presiding Elder Carey through the assistance of Rev. Scott, was given permission to address the delegates to this convention on the merits of the labor movement and its benefits to humanity in general.
A lady solicitor was a total failure in her attempt to sell some of the packers' gold bonds to about 200 girls employed in one of the concerns which was an offer on the part of the company to let these girls become partners in the concern. When this attempt to prevent the workers from securing better conditions failed, the good-hearted foreman through sympathy for them, took part of their lunch time away and then began to drive and abuse them after which he sent them home without allowing them to make a full day. Such generosity certainly must be appreciated by the victims.
1st—He never says, "I haven't got it".
2nd—When it comes to accuracy in filling prescriptions he is second to none.
3rd—He is employing a great number of educated men and women that otherwise would be out of work.

5th—His prices are lower than can be found elsewhere.

Mr. Travis for two years was president of local board No. 4, in which capacity according to the testimony of high Government officials, he has made a good record.
When interviewed by a Whip reporter, Mr. Travis unreluctantly asserted that he was sure that the boys thought as much of his work as the Government officials.
This being true he should not have any fear of his success. Mr. Travis is in the Real Estate business at 3333 S. State street.

Freeman, as Jeanette and Inez Clough

this character in as much as she would
not submit her New England accent to

opera temporarily, so that they could

‘The first duty, on going to the theatre
is to be aware of your culture and eon:
science. For example, a clergyman
widely known in religion and literature
was discoursing upon the playhouse, and
while expressing his conviction of the
potential power for good in the play-
house, declared himself in one sentence:
“TL seldom go to the theatre myself, be-
cause Ido not know what T am liable
to run into, even when the actors are

sciously, the Reverend offers himself as a
nagnificent illustration of the supersti

layhouse. Why, in heaven’s name, does

go haphazard to the playhouse, blunting
their own perceptions, losing the good
that might be gained, and furnishing
a very bad example to others.

‘The large audicnce present on Monday
evening expromed themselves voeiferour
ly, inasmuch as the present vehicle is a
well-construeted drama instead of a
‘mediocre melodrama. ‘The thematic
tendeney throughout would readily
‘bring to the mind the story of‘ Mad-
ame X.’? However, the author has dis-
played unusual skill in holding the
audience tense and nonapprehensive of
the happy ending.
Miss Evelyn Ellis is truly an artist,
with splendid emotional powers. Her
ability to sob audibly and to repress sor-
‘ow at times when it is feasible to depicit
joy is indeed an evidence of her well-
‘controlled art. Mr, Simmons gave a very
eae reading as the counsel for de
defense. At times faulty diction was
‘evident, but with proper training this
may be easily corrected. Andrew 8.
Bishop as tite giilty-mantrade an ex-
cellent picture from the front. His de-
ficiency in emotion was cleverly covered
by the eloquent speeches at his disposal,
which is ereditable to the author. ‘The
rapid reading at times destroyed the
sincerity of the artist, and the audience
is compelled to forget that the actor is
living the character and readily begin
to fect that he is only reading delightful
oration, A little more care along these
lines will improve the work of our favor-
ed leading man, Miss Cleo Desmond is
an ideal blind mother. She struck the
sympathetic chord which was played up-
on with the delicacy and touch of a
finished artist. An excellent creation!
Charles Olen exemplified the old friend
of Flambon, Arthur Ray was a true
lover conscientious throughout, J. L.
Criner, Hayes Prior, Walter Robinson,
Carlotta Freeman together with the jury
men completed @ well balanced caste in
an exceedingly well fitted drama, One

MOVIE NOTES
William Faversham and Maxine Elliot
have secured the film rights to ‘‘The
Man Who Lost Himself,’? by If, De Vere
Staepoole, which will soon be produced
by them as independent producers. If
this picture proves a winner they will
produce a series of high-class plays with
themselves as stars,
‘The Famous Players-Lasky Corpora-
tion has acquired the Moss Circuit of
houses. They intend to give high-class
vaudeville acts along with their pictures.
Instead of the small coterie of musicians
now in these houses, they will place
mammoth symphony orchestras,
Let the ten-eent earfare come—the

South Side should worry,
‘Thomas Dixon Has New Play
The author who eaused so much dis.
sension with his abominable play, ‘The
Clansman,’? has a new play that is being
rehearsed in the Bijou Theater, New

that it deals with the most vital issue of
the day.
We trust that he will not give us any
more of his warped ideas on the race

THE DRAMATIC EDITOR HE
DID NOT GIVE IN THESE
COLUMNS A CRITICISM OF
LAST WEEK’S SHOW.
Broken Blossoms
Based on Narrative by Thomas Burke
The episodes of (“Broken Blossoms’?
involve three persons—Battling Bur-
rows, a bully of the London slums; a
young Chinese priest named Cheng
Huan, who has come out of the Par East
to spread to the people the doctrine of
brotherly love, and Luey, a girl of fif-
teen, who, when but a mere babe, was
‘thrust into the arms of Battling Bur-
rows as a mere bundle of white rags—
the gift of one of the Battler’s girls.
The scenes are laid in the crooked
alleys of London's Limehouse district.
When he is drunk or out of temper,
the Battler, a prize fighter, wreaks his
rage upon this piteous child. Her
starved, bruised little body ereeps sor-
rowfully around the crooked alleys. Con
cerned with its own sins, Limehouse has
no time to bother about Lucy or her sor.
rows. As Lucy creeps down through the
shadow alleys there is one who looks
after her with a sort oF holy adoration.
This pitying heart belongs to the young
Chinaman, His highest hopes beaten
down, all that remains to him of beauty
and of light is his wistful, almost sacred
love for this helpless child who passes
by his store,
One day the Battler beats Luey with
rather more cruelty than usual, and her
fainting, broken little figure staggers
weakly down the road and falls in
through the Chinaman’s doorway. Ten-
derly he gathers the little one in his
arms and bears her upstairs to his lonely
room, There he bathes her wounds.
With a quaint faney he dresses her in
wonderful old silken robes and tends her
with the sweet, pure veneration that a
subject might bestow upon a wounded
princess.
But there comes a day when the prize
fighter bursts into the apartment and
| wrecks it with murderous paws. Through
the crop gemst of 4 London fog, you
can see’ che cringing little gure being
dragged back to her doom. Some ter:
rible instinct tells the child that this
beating will be the last. She tries to
escape into a closet, but a ruthless
hatchet beats down the barrier.
The Chinaman comes too late to the
seene; he finds only a still, broken little
figure, her last lonely wistful smile still
on her dead lips, With a deadly calm,
ax one who performs an act of holy
snerifice, the young Bhuddist priest
gathers the pitiful figure in his arms and
carries it back through the misty fog
to his room where she knew her few
brief hours of happiness. With a flower
placed tenderly in her grubby little
hands, he bids her a last farewell, says
his last prayers to a little figure of
Bhudda and slips out of the hard, cruel
world with a dagger in his heart.
And what of the end of Battling Bur-
rows? He was found in the morning
with five bullet holes in his body, Cheng
Huan’s love-gift before he took the body

Success in the Movies
“<Chastity,’? says a movie comedian,
**is one of the essential qualities of sue-
ecas in the pictures these days. To be
sucecasful on the stage today an actor
must live a clean, moral life, otherwise
his personality will reflect his evil life
and repel people instead of attracting
them. I do not know why this is true,
but I know it is true. I can mentton the
names of comedians who have been com-
pelled to retire from the stage because
of the immorality of their private lives.
The public today instinetively seems to
know whether a man is good or bad,
right or wrong in his life. People acem to
have developed a kind of uncanny sixth
sense about these things. The man who
leads an evil life and who has an evil
mind cannot make people laugh any
more.’”

THE LAND OF TEARS
Went back “home” last week to see
If things were the same as they used to be.
Got sort o’tired of city life—
Noise and crowding and ceaseless strife
Yearned to look at the old gray town
Out at its elbows and running down.
Thought it would seem good ’cross the years,
Found instead ’twas a land of tears!
Gaps in the ranks of the boys I knew,
Girls mostly widows; only a few
Seemed to have lived and made their way;
Nobody nigh who cared to play.
Weren’t even glad to have me come—
There just in time to remind of some
Grief and care that had grown between
Them and me since Time was green,
Black the color, mixed with blue
Where I had looked for a rosy hue;
My mind teemed with memories bright,
They saw only the darkest night.
Past full of gloom, no future at all,
Just setting ’round to await the call.
From ‘the Angel of Death’ who paused next door,
Sighing and sighing of “Nevermore.”
Came straight back to the crowd and noise,
The seething city and its joys,
Where life stays young despite its years,
Leaving forever the Land of Tears!
Bump—the Gaints got one handed to them but that makes the game. They were up against a hot bunch.
Pete Hill sends word to the Whip, for the Chicago gang to bring all they can rake, scrape, borrow or steal when they invade Detroit.
THREE RUNS AND WIN
St. Louis, Mo., July 18—St. Louis defense cracked in the seventh and New York today won its first victory here this season, 4 to 3. Three errors in succession with singles by Baker and Hannah gave the visitors three runs and overcame the lead which St. Louis took in the fifth when Sisler hit the ball into the rightfield bleachers, scoring Tobin ahead of him.

JAP TENNIS STAR TAKES NEW
YORK TITLE
Utica, N. Y., July 25—Ichiya Kumagae, Jap tennis star, tonight was New York state singles champion, following his defeat this afternoon of Charles S. Garland, Jr., Pittsburgh, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1. It was the third straight New York state victory for Kumagae, and he thus came into permanent possession of the McLoughlin bowl.
C. D. Howard, who stops at the Y. M.
C. A. and who is the best fishermen in this section, follows;
A well known businessman came to his table in the dining room of a big hotel and saw a new waiter. He was surprised, but more so when he spied his regular waiter, for the past few years, standing at the other end of the room, "Guess, you're at the wrong station, George," he said to the new waiter; Henry waits on me every morning and evening. Yaas sir, yaas sir, I understand perfectly, perfectly well sir, but here is one morning ole Henry sure ain't goin' to do no waitin'". "Well how's that," asked the customer. "Cause Henry done lost you in a crap game last night," came back the answer.
FILIPINOS ARE TAKING TO THE BOX
Natives of Islands Make Good Showing Against Australian Fighters
By T. S. Andrews
That the natives of the Philippines are fast picking up the boxing game is evident from the showing that they have been touring that country. Manila is some of the Australian fighters who have been touring that country. Manila ih the headquarters for all boxing shows and big crowds have been attending the shows.
Lew Edwards, the Australian lightweight champion, is a high class boxer, but he has met some pretty tough lads among the Filipinos. Edwards stopped Eddie Duarte in three rounds and defeated Kid Dencio in ten rounds, but both natives gave him a real battle.
Filipino Wins in Ten Bounds
Francisco Flores, the native lad, who fought Edwards some time ago, defeated Tommy Ryan of Australia in ten rounds.
Harry Holmes of Australia beat Silvino Jamito in ten rounds, while Battling Sanchez, a native, stopped Owen Cairns in one round. The latter is a lightweight and was pretty well thought of in Sydney.
Frank Churchill, a Manila promoter, has offered a purse of $15,000 for a match between Champion Pete Herman and Vince Blackburn of Australia, but there is little chance of its being arranged. It will not be long before some of the best of the Manila boys will be invading the United States in search of some of the soft purses hung up these days.
Is Mike Gibbons Slipping?
Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, may be playing a very foxy game in going along with some of the top-notch boxes, but it is beginning to look as though Mike is really slipping. Many of his friends have been offering the excuse that Mike was satisfied to go along and

hold them even and take no chance on bumping into a sleep producer, but no fighter of the first rank is going to let any of these fellows get the upper hand if he can help it. In his fight with Harry Greb at Pittsburgh recently, the latter was given the decision by practically all the papers; in fact, it was stated at the time that Greb won the fight easily.
Gibbons met Jeff Smith at Kansas City on July 4 and again the papers there gave Smith the decision with hardly a dissenting voice; in fact, most of them came out flat-footed for Smith. There is no doubt that Gibbons was one of the cleverest middleweights the country has produced in some time, but with these numerous set-backs of late, it seems a foregone conclusion that Michael has seen his best days. There has been a great deal of talk about a championship match between the present title holder, Mike O'Dowd, also of St. Paul, and Gibbons, but nothing definite has been arranged yet.
Instead of a championship match, it is more likely that these two boys will be matched at St. Paul for a ten-round no-decision contest.
Arrow Club Opens Tennis Courts
The Arrow Club has purchased the site adjacent to the Eighth Regiment Armory and have spared no expense in preparing a first-class terrace in order to furnish an innocent pastime for the gentler sex of that vicinity.
The club is composed of a conscientious set of young men who are desirous of making this a better community, not by words but deeds. The young women will have some place to go and be entertained, which will be minus the contaminating influences of the cabarets.

The Pawnbroker on State Street
The Shylock of Shakespeare's verse was modestly content with a
pound of flesh, but the Shylocks (pawn brokers) of State Street make
Shakespeare’s character green with envy to see how exhorbitant tales
are charged and collected from humble and non-protesting dark-skinned
Antonios, who feel the pinch of circumstance.
The Illinois Revised Statutes, page 1738, specifically state that: It
shall be unlawful for any pawnbroker to collect or charge on money
advanced for use thereof, interest greater than 3 per cent per month,
Yet those who have occasion to enter the Spider’s Nest, whose sign
is three glittering golden balls, allow themselves to be charged from 10
to 30 per cent per month, ‘The surprising feature of the whole affair is
that some vietims know that they are being “held up” and yet refuse to
complain. We have no sympathy for this type. But there are others who
are ignorant of everything except “I need the money and Mr. Cohen
says I have to pay six dollars next month for the five I borrow now,”
and the ticket verifies Mr. Cohen’s sttaement. It is for the benefit of
these defenseless citizens that this editorial is wrtten.
| ‘The grasp that our Jewish friends seem to have on the business of
the community, and the hundred per cent patronage they receive from
Colored People should not intoxicate them with the idea that they can
use illegitimate “hold-up” methods to exploit the people of this vicinity.
We admit that the pawn brokerage business has a place in the
economic life of a community when legitimately operated. We claim that
a very few of these South Side Shylocks will stand the close scrutiny tes
| that should be applied to all business.
When you enter a pawn shop to pledge an article, remember tha
you are entering into a legitimate transaction, also that three per cen
(3%) is the legal rate of interest. When you attempt to redeem you
pledge, if the pawnbroker refuses to accept 3 per cent, consult a lawyer
If you can’t afford one, we will get one for you.
Of all the civic evils affecting the economic vitals of people is thi
pawnbrokers’ evil.
‘The people in need of the pawnbrokers’ aid are afraid to squea
when they are “squeezed,” but we are not. We will, with the co-opera
tion of the best citizens, drive these proprietors into the legitimate path
of commercial righteousness or drive them out of business.

auch @ Negro family moves into a block in which the rest of
the residents are white, and some one sets off a bomb in the doorway,
or beats one of the children, what is the result?
A nasty job for the police, bitter feeling accentuated among
both races, and the germs for many more race fights implanted, but
NOTHING in the way of curing the situation.
The race problem in Chicago, as everywhere, is a social problem,
and YOU CANNOT REMOVE A SOCIAL SITUATION WITH
DYNAMITE.
The anger of the white residents of the block is natural because
the presence of the Negro resident causes a localized real estate
panic and a slump in home values,
No one likes to lose the accumulations in his home,
The Negro, however, is within his legal rights and from his
viewpoint he is doing the meritorious thing of taking his family into a
better housed neighborhood, nearer schools and transportation,
No thinking person can seriously dispute the Negro father’s
RIGHT to house his family as best he can, and give his children “a
better chance than he had.” That is race progress,
And bombs, beatings, baitings and neighborhood feuds will not
1elp either side. “The course of human events” is not changed in
hat way.
There are about 100,000 Negroes in Chicago, leaders ‘of the race

some joint or limb to a constantly pres-
ent ache which makes life itself all but
pleasant, Strange to say, the thing we
call rheumatism is very rarely rheu-
matism at all. Properly speaking, this
disease is a chronic inflammation of the
joints, although péople are prone to eall
any pain which lasts a long time in their
arms, legs, shoulders, or neck rheu-
matism, and they are often supported in
their belief by their doctors because it
is an easy diagnosis and one that is
easily understood by the patient, two
Aecided advantages to the doctor. But
such a pain may not only be from an
inflamed joint, which ix true rheuma
tism, but it may be from inflamed
muscles, which is called myositis, or it
may be from an inflamed nerve which
is called neuritis, from an inflamed
bone which is ostcomyelitis. However
whichever one of these fancy named dis
cases a given pain may be, it is impor:
tant to know that they are all eaused
by the sare thing, namely, the action of
bacteria upon the diseased part. 1

It requires a human solution, not a racial one. It is a social, not
a political question. Its solution must come from within, not from
without.

cause it is a elew to the treatment but
also to the prevention of rheumatism.
Recent researches have shown that these
bacteria do not cause rheumatism until
they have grown in the body for a long
time and the place where they grow is
far removed from the site of the rhew
matism and is in little abscesses usually
around the root of the teeth and in the
tonsils. When these bacteria have ac-
‘cumulated in large enough numbers they
migrate to other parts of the body and
it is then that rheumatism occurs, and
the attack lasts a long time because
showers of these bacteria are constantly
being sent out from these breeding
places. Obviously, then, the logical way
to prevent rheumatism is to prevent
these abscesses in the teeth and tonsils
and the best way to treat it is to remove
them. Indeed, these are just what the
modern doctor insists upon, Tonsils that
constantly swell upon the slightest ex:
posure should be removed beeause they
are dangerous. The teeth should be ex:
amined and cleaned at regular intervals
People already with rheumatism should
insist upon an examination of their teeth
and tonsils in order to locate the pos:
sible foeus vf infection, Incidentally
the bacteria from these abscesses may
cause many other serious diseases than
cheumatism, a common one among whieh
is heart trouble. It is very frequently
the ease that rheumatism and heart
trouble occur together.
