Chicago Whip

RIOT VICTIMS TO SUE CITY White and Colored Ministers Join The Whip in Fight Against Segregation White and Colored Ministers Join The Whip in Fight Against Segregation Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro RIOT White and Colo Join The Wh Against Seg The Rev. W. S. Fleming, in a sermon at the Joyce Methodist Episcopal Church, said: "When the white church people of this country take the stand that the Negro is a man and must have a man's treatment, when we not only talk but live the brotherhood of man, then and only will race riots cease." Racial hatredates back to the slave driver's hash, L. W. E. Stewart, pastor of the Quinn Church, A. M. E. Church, East Twenty-fourth and South Wabash avenue, said in his sermon Sunday, his subject being race riue. The preacher said in race has made such progress as the American Negro, who has, he stated, made rapid strides James Weldon Johnson, field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after making a scientific investigation, declares that there has been for some time well directed propaganda in the South which has been partly successful in establishing in the public mind the idea that there is a direct relation of cause and effect between rape and mob violence against the Negro. Washington Riots as Proof The echoes from the Washington riots are a present illustration of how this propaganda works. The newspapers have been filled with "attacks on white women" as an excuse for mob violence and the riots, according to the reports of major Pulman, chief of police of Wash. Gon, between June 25 and the outbreak of the riots, there has been one of rape and two cases of attempted one of the victims of the rapists, a colored woman school teacher, all the cases the suspect was in jail. Motivations Colored Maidens Just weeks before the real battle in the city started, two white men, a mother and conductor on one of the interiors, after all of the passersby abducted with the exception of colored girls, closed the doors of the and attempted the unpardonable one on the girls. No white papers publish these facts. At the same these men are in custody now, a heavy bail. The following is a statistical report of Lynching: Whenever the Negro protests against lynching, nearly all southern newspapers and a great many northern newspapers call upon him to deprecate the crime which leads to lynching. The authentic statistics on lynching prove the falsehood on which this propaganda is based. In the twenty years down to 1903 there were 1,635 Negroes lynched in the Southern States. Of that number rape was assigned as the cause of only 675 cases. In 1,310 cases other causes were assigned. In the past thirty years fifty Negro women have been lynched. In the past twelve months five Negro women have been lynched. In the five-year period, 1914-1918, 264 Negroes were lynched in the United (Continued on Page 10) The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY since his liberation from 240 years of slavery. "He has not struck at this nation with the hand of an assassin. He only asks the fair minded of this land for justice, not for sympathy." "Many massacres have occurred because of race hatred and religious bigotry," said Rev. Dr. T. F. Dornblaser in a sermon Sunday at the Rogers Park Lutheran Church. Using as a subject the massacre of Jews contemplated in the days of Queen Esther, Dr. Dornblaser said: "The effort to segregate the vicious from the virtuous has proved an utter failure. It is the Lord's will that the rich should live beside the poor, to help the poor. In His house the rich and poor are to meet together. His people are the salt of the earth. His plan to save this world is to mix the good with the bad to leaven the hum." HOLY ROLLERS OBJECT TO CATS WHILE AT PRAYER Lodi, Cal., Aug. 15.—Because two cats had their tails tied together and then were thrown upon the head of one the members of the Holy Roller here, members of that organization made complaint to Judge A. H. Sokmore. The member was praying and the act complained of broke up the meeting. They said they were worried at threats of residents living near to "clean up the whole church." Residents have also appeared before Judge Solkmore with a request for warrants against members of the sect on charges of disturbing the peace. Police protection has been promised the meetings until a full investigation of the merits of the conflicting charges is completed. Evanston Black and Whites Mingle Freely at Church Festival As evidence that there is no racial feeling between the white people and those of color in Evanston, they mixed freely at a barbecue, which was held for the benefit of the building of a Colored Methodist Church. The entire "1700 block of Emerson Street," was the scene of the barbecue. Mr. James Witt was the conductor of the festivities. He said, "Build more churches and there will be fewer riots." 4,000 Saloons to Open in Chicago City Expects Rush for Licenses When the President declares the United States army demobilized and the country safe for "the high ball hounds," the license rate for saloons will be the same as it was before the country went dry. The city council at its last session restored the old fee of $1,000 a year, $83.33 a month, or $2.74 a day. It is estimated that when the lid is torn off 4,000 saloons will reopen in Chicago, and that the revenue derived from them will amount to more than one million dollars before National prohibition becomes effective January 16, 1920.

M. C. A. on July 29th to 31st, a meeting was held by the leading Colored Musicians from all parts of the United States of America, at which a national association was formed.

Splendid reports and suggestions were given toward a definite and constructive working basis for the association and great hopes for the year's work. Departments on Employment, History, Music Festivals, Education, Economics, Summer Music Schools, etc., were established, also a scholarship fund. Miss Marian Anderson will be the first beneficiary.

Republican Clerks Oppose Negro in Senate Trouble Started by Southern Democrat --- Patronage Committee Rebukes Them CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 15, 1919 U. S. TO ACT ON DIS- CRIMINATION SHOWN ABYSSINIAN PRINCE Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 15.—Gen. H. H. Hopakyan, consul general for Persia at New York, announced that the state department at Washington had assured him that it would investigate the action of the National Democratic Club of New York in restricting its rooms to Prince Dedajazmatch of Abyssinia. The state department connected with the Prince on board his home-bound vessel, and expressed the regret of the United States Government that he had met with any discountes while in this country. Casualities in Washington Race Riots Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.—The latest report of the race riots here show that sixty-two white people and two colored people were killed, and sixty white and nine colored were wounded. Numbered among the dead are detectives, policemen, marines, soldiers and civilians. Republican Clerk Trouble Started by Southern mittee Reb Washingto. Aug. 15.—Republican clerks in the office of the Secretary of the Senate protested when J. Silas Harris, a negro, was appointed to succeed Martin J. Gallagher, a Democrat, who had been a member of the clerical staff for six years. Assistant Secretary Henry Rose joined the objectors and was subsequently reprimanded by members of the Republican patronage committee and reminded that his action might give offense to black voters. Harris got his position through the influence of Senator Spencer, of Missouri. Harris was formerly editor of a negro weekly newspaper and at one time was a teacher in a negro school in Kansas City. It is understood that Senator Spencer obtained the appoint- Col. Young to Return to Xenia Rockford, IL., Aug. 15—The trial of the fourteen Colored men at Camp Grant, which lasted five months, ended Monday morning. They were charged with assault on a woman of Bloomington, Illinois, on the banks of the Rock River, which flows around the cantonment. The military tribunal signed the formal findings and sent them to Washington for final review by President Wilson. Colonel Young, ranking Colored officer of the United States Army and president of the tribunal, will soon depart for Xenia, Ohio, where he will once more take up the duties as the head of Wilberforce College. Colonel Young, who had been retired on account of disability, was recalled to active service at the outbreak of the war. He is credited with being a finished military man. DRINKS PERFUME; THEN GIRL GOES ON HUGGING BEE Venice, Ca., Aug. 15.—Beware the "lily of the valley jag." Lillian El Felt of San Francisco tried it—it's made of perfume—and is in jail, charged with hugging all the men she met. ks Oppose Negro in Senate Democrat — Patronage Com-ukes Them ment for Harris to quiet criticisms and complaints among Missouri negroes who charge that they have been ignored by Republican leaders in their state. Martin J. Gallagher is a resident of St. Louis. His dismissal from the secretarial staff of the Senate, it is admitted, was not for want of ability or experience, but simply to make room for a negro to whom Senator Spencer owed a political debt. Assistant Secretary Rose and most of the clerks who objected to Gallagher's remval are Republicans. They resented the displacement of a capable and faithful white employee to create a vacancy for a negro politician who had nothing to recommend him but his usefulness to Senator Spencer and other Missouri Republicans.

George confessed that he had taken all of the above in order to help reduce the high cost of living. Surgeon Sews Up Wound in Boy's Heart (Special to the Whip.) Charlotte, N.

The law also provides that no damages shall be allowed unless a notice of the claim is filed within thirty days after the damage or loss occurs. The Joint Emergency Committee therefore urges that any person or persons who suffered any loss of property, whether of buildings destroyed, places of business or homes destroyed or damaged, household goods damaged or destroyed, or, in short, any whatever, shall immediately call at Olive Church and present the facts regarding such loss so that the claim for damage may be filed within the prescribed time limit. If you fail to do this until after thirty days have expired, no chance of securing any damages will exist. All of the necessary details must be given—a detailed list of articles destroyed, a fair valuation of each, all facts regarding the persons doing the damage, the number of persons complying the mob that did "no damage, and all other circumstances affecting the case. No charge is made for filing such claims and two lawyers are in the office from 9 A. M. to 6 P. M. to prepare them for claimants. The Joint Emergency Committee came into being to handle as far as possible the critical situation arising out of the rioting. It has been holding meetings daily for the past two weeks. Realizing that if each organization attempted to handle problems arising and being presented to each, there would be much waste time, energy and money through duplication of efforts, the five organizationse decided that only through complete co-ordination of efforts could the situation be handled successfully. Prof. Robert E. Park of Chicago University, representing the Urban League, is chairman, and Dr. Charles E. Bentley of the N. A. A. C. P. is secretary. Rev. L. K. Williams represents the Ministers-Social Workers-Citizens Conference, Mr. George R. Arthur the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Porter the Cook County Bar Association. A most encouraging feature has been the hearty co-operation of all the agencies represented. Upon the formation of the committee, the Cook County Bar Association immediately offered the services of their legal talent "without hope of compensation" and this promise has been kept, resulting in the immediate handling of many cases.

Soldiers Not Kept in France Because of Social Diseases Southern Congressman Participated in Washington Riot Wounded While Attacking Colored People Last week at the 8th Regiment Armory, 35th street and Forest avenue, one of the greatest and praiseworthy acts by Colored business men was staged. Despite the wonderfully interesting exhibits of the participants, the whole affair turned out to be a colassal joke on account of incompetent management. Douglas Speaks. Warren B. Douglas, state representative from the third senatorial district, gave impetus to the affair by his masterful oratory. He especially urged upon his hearers to support legitimate Colored enterprises. In his plea for race journals, he made special mention of The Whip, as being one of the most instructive periodicals of the day. Ex-Judge Harrison made an interesting talk on the prospects for a dream city in reality. Business Men Make Fine Display. Even the poor management did not obscure the efforts of the business men who did all in their power to make the affair a success. R. W. Hunter & Co., bankers, located at the extreme south end of the auditorium, made a splendid showing. This was evidenced by the number of patrons and spectators that were always to be seen in and around his booth. To the left coming south was the Liberty Life Insurance Company. Claim That A. E. Not Kept in cause of Paris, Aug. 15.—General headquarters, A. E. F., wishes to correct the widespread and false impression in the United States that all the American soldiers still in France have been kept here because of their misconduct in contracting venereal disease which is a court martial offense. Hundreds of soldiers still in France have received letters from wives, sweet-hearts, and mothers intimating that the reason they are not home is because they have contracted disease. These letters have caused a great deal of unwarranted grief. Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, chief of Southern Congre cipated in Wounded While Atta Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.—It is reported that the death of Congressman J. Willard Ragsdale of South Carolina, who died during the recent race riots here, was caused by a wound which he received while participating in a mob PEPPER AND SALT USED TO OVERGOME HOODOO DUST St. Louis. Mo., Aug. 15.—Pepper and salt placed in her shoes to overcome a "hoodoo," resulted only in blistering the soles of her feet, Fannie Stewart testified in Justice Kane's court, East St. Louis, in prosecuting Liza Jane Hunter, charged with disturbing Mrs. Stewart's peace by attempting to cast an evil spell over her. Mrs. Stewart said when she returned home she found a mystic trail of red dust laid across her gate. "I tromped it down before I crossed it," she said, "but found out that woman had spread it all over the place. Everywhere I went around that house I found that hoodoo dust. When I tripped and fell down in the yard and nearly broke my neck, I knew what caused it." Mrs. Hunter denied that she put the dust there or that she had any supernatural poweres. "Pshaw, Judge, if I could hoodoo anybody I guess these people wouldn't be here prosecuting me," she said. "No, sir, I would have made every one of them drop dead before they started up here to court." Alexander Flannigen, her lawyer, said that impressed him as being as sound argument as he could make, and he tilted the case. Judge Kane announced that he would take it under advisement. --- Kersey, McGowan & Morsell CHICAGO'S REPRESENTATIVE Undertakers Main Establishment, 3515 Indiana Avenue PHONE DOUGLAS 8285 North Side Branch, 863 Orleans Street SUPERIOR 7089 GEO.

But the mystery that surrounds the Congressman's death is due to the fact that it cannot be ascertained whether he died at his office or his residence. He was a foe to the Colored people and did not believe in their uplift or advancement. His last act in Congress was to raise a point of order on the Howard University appropriation bill, which was stricken from the Sundry Civil appropriation. COLORED MAN LYNCHED IN THE "OUTLAW STATE." (Special to the Whip.) Cochran, Ga., Aug. 15.—A man who claimed that he was from Chicago was taken from the jail here and lynched. He was hung to a small tree outside of the jail. The keys of the calaboose were secured from the sheriff and the poor whites took this helpless creature out and hanged him in front of the so-called jail in full view of the authorities. It was stated by these ignorant, bloodthirsty monsters that he had boasted of participation in recent race riots in Chicago, and that he was on his way to organize the Georgia Colored men into starting a race war in this state.

LOUIS Large Crowd Gathers from All Over the Country St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 8.—One of the important features of the meeting of the National Negro Business League was a discussion, "A Reconstruction and Readjustment Symposium—The Negro's Relation Thereto," in which national leaders of thought participated. The subjects of labor, health, business and related questions and problems were dealt with at length. Addresses were delivered by Mr. William D'Arey, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America; Mr. Allen W. Clark, chairman of the Clean-Up and Point-Up Bureau, with headquarters at St. Louis, and Col. Otis B. Duncan, of the famous Eighth Illinois Regiment. The official announcement of entertainments for the league included a visit to the Anheuser-Busch bevo plant, a special entertainment at the Booker T. Washington Theater and an industrial and fraternal parade, showing the achievements of the Negroes of St. Louis and the middle west. The Eighth Illinois Regiment band furnished music for the reception and banquet, which was held Friday evening, August 15, at the coliseum. TWO INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Car Overturns but Does Not Stop Run ning Will Wallace and Alphonso Anderson, of 5063 31st Street, were motoring along Michigan Avenue, Sunday night, enjoying the beauties which the boulevard affords, when Wallace, who was at the wheel, thought they were moving too slowly. At the same time, this thought occurred to a lady, who was driving along behind Wallace. They both speeded up at the same time and attempted to run around a car that was directly in front of them. The car, that was driven by the lady, made it all right, but sad to state she bumped into the car that Wallace and Anderson were in, causing it to overturn. The car Wallace and Anderson were in, being a Ford, the engine did not stop running, neither did Anderson. With the assistance of a policeman, Bill righted his car and caught up with Anderson at the intersection of 42nd and Michigan Avenue. Wallace was bruised about the face, neck, arms and legs. Anderson was slightly scratched about the face. Neither of them could get the number of the machine that caused the mishap. The Ford, outside of a few bent places which have been straightened out by the use of a hammer, is still in good condition. COLORED MAN HELD FOR ARMY RIFLE John C. Jackson, 3215 Rhodes avenue, was arrested by Capt. William L. Heptig, Company A, Third Infantry, Illinois Reserve Militia, for trying to buy cartridges from a member of the militia. Later investigation was made, and an army rifle was found in Jackson's home. He was held by United States Commissioner Mark A.

In the same seuffle Michael Browning, a colored boy of 5439 Federal street, was wounded. An investigation in which twenty or more witnesses were examined by Assistant State's Attorney John Owen and Detective Sergeants-Nagle and McCarthy appeared to show that a white mob had attacked the two colored men. When given this information the state's attorney told the police to release Washington pending action by a coroner's jury.

F. of L., knows no race, color or creed in its stand for the toiling masses to get such justice; and Whereas, Through its representatives in convention assembled at Perth Amboy, N. J., week of August 19, 1919, the New Jersey State Federation of Labor Whereas, In all wars where OUR COUNTRY AND ITS INTERESTS were at stake, the colored race, with their WHITE BROTHERS, fought, shed their blood and DIED in defense of OLD GLORY and "Over There" gave their all that others may live in peace and happiness ever after, and Whereas, Lynchings, cowardly and unjust, is also a blow at the heart of ordered law and human justice, and Whereas, The colored people, its workers, their bread winners, throughout the nation look with hope and anxiety in their hearts to those in the struggle for better conditions, for better homes and for the good things of life, as well as protection from mob rule and for a surging popular opinion behind them that will not tolerate a laxity in upholding the laws of our land; and Whereas, the hope of civilization is in democracy, the hope of democracy is Black and White Workers Are Fighting the Same Battle Say Labor Chiefs At a joint meeting last Wednesday between the packing interests and labor chiefs, John Fitzpatrick, president and Fred Nockels, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, openly accused the packers of an intent to exploit. Colored and white workers by keeping friction between them. All Workers Interests Common Fitzpatrick said in part that organized labor has no quarrel with their workers. Negroes are not brought here to better their condition, but to be used by the packers as tools to undermine the unions. We have made special efforts to organize and fraternalize our Colored brothers. Everything was going fine, we were to have parades and public meetings with both races participating. The police department came up and objected to colored and white marching together. This was done by an order from the packers to engender race feeling and defend the unions. Packers Use Foul Tactics "As soon as it appeared that the race workers were getting together to fight a common cause, the packers subsidized Negro politicians and certain preachers to induce colored workers not to join the unions. They had a Y. M. C. A. secretary on their staff and the two present aldermen. It is alleged that Armour and Company bought three hundred memberships in the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A. and gave them to their men in order that they might go to the 'Y' and absorb the 'anti' union propaganda. Johnstone Speaks J, W. Johnstone, president of the Stockyards Labor Council, set the meeting on fire when he arose and said that the men who are responsible for the riot and all the other trouble are seated around this table the packers themselves and that they should be tried for conspiracy. The only way to help all of the workers is to bring them back to a union shop. All of them are under paid. Raise their pay and let them alone. There will be no further trouble. P. D. Campbell and N. S. Wims left the city Friday night, August 8, to attend the twentieth general convention of the H. & R. E. I. A. and B. I. L. of A. that convenes in Providence, R. L. Monday, August 11, as delegates from Sleeping Car, Parlor Car Porters' and Dining Car Waiters' Local No. 268. Let's hope that through their work at this convention will be the entering wedge through which better conditions can be enjoyed by this class of wage earners. This can be accomplished by the union route. Butcher Workmen, Local 651, is a generous benefactor. No one was allowed to suffer. This is real charity; the kind that one can appreciate. IT IS GRAND TO BE LONG TO A REAL UNION. C. Ford, International Organizer for Butcher Workmen, spent a few hours in our city en route to Omaha, Neb., from St. Louis, Mo., and found time to drop a word of encouragement here and there. in justice, the only hope of justice is in the tribunals through which justice can be secured, and the only hope of the functioning of these tribunals is in the sentiment which demands that they within their departments, shall be supreme and that any efforts to incite mob violence shall be regarded as an attack upon the very foundations of society itself, and Whereas, The American labor movement, A. F. of L., knows no race, color or creed in its stand for the toiling masses to get such justice; and Whereas, Through its representatives in convention assembled at Perth Amboy, N. J., week of August 19, 1919, the New Jersey State Federation of Labor, with a membership of over 90,000, endorsed this resolution; and Whereas, The great American labor movement, through its conventions, city, state and national, is the very medium through which popular and public sentiment can best be expressed against mob rule and for proper enforcement of the laws of our land, therefore, be it Resolved, That we the representatives of this the 39th annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, go on record as endorsing the above as our sentiments in opposition to mob rule and lynchings. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of same be sent to our Representatives in Congress and U. S. Senate and Speakers of both houses, to the press and to the President of our Nation, Honorable WOODROW WILSON. WM. F. KAVANAGH, 1709 Park Lane, Atlantic City, N. J. Our Greatest Menace as a Race By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer In most of the big daily papers last week, there appeared extracts from a speech that was made by one of our would be leading citizens in which he is quoted as stating that this is the white man's country. We are compelled to dispute such utterances as this and feel that we are backed up by the Constitution of the United States which does not specify whether it is a white man's country or a government set apart for the welfare of all law-abiding citizens. In his attempt to place himself in the spot light of public opinion he attempts to draw an encore or a few curtain calls from the white man; but no self-respecting white man would permit such a compromising individual as he has proven himself to be in his presence. We could appreciate what he is at tempting to do if he would arm himself with a bowie-knife, black jack and a few false wigs and possibly a mask or two and go out and follow his profession like he should, but when he attempts to advise and offers to lower the standard of common decency among his own people by such lick-spittle tactics any self-respecting man or woman of the race would loathe his presence and a horned toad, some venomous viper or a vicious South American tarantula would be more acceptable in our immediate community. His aspiration for leadership along such compromising lines is sufficient to justify us in demanding that he be forever excluded from our community. His actions alone are sufficient to justify us in ostracizing him as well as many others of his type. He is a menace to progress and should not be allowed to continue his activities, which have been so injurious to our people in the past. Let's rid the community of such leaders as these and we will find that popular indignation will do the job. Executive Board of Buteher Workmen, Local 651, has been kept busy keeping the members of their local out of the packers' bread line. They put the job over and everyone who applied for relief, with a few exceptions, received substantial aid. Railroad coach cleaners employed in the Baltimore & Ohio yards have been feeling ugly for the past few days owing to the seeming lack of interest that is being displayed by the Wage Adjustment Board, Railroad Administration. They want more action and better results, hence the dissatisfaction. This feeling is liable to spread to other yards. Some one in authority must get busy. Ever notice how some of the human vultures employed by the packers are trying yet to serve their masters? One was heard the other night telling a group of young colored men how he was going to run the foreigners out of the packing houses that he had charge of and how he loved the colored men. This kind of jargon is waste matter now. COLORED DELEGATES TO THE 39th ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR, HELD IN ATLANTIC CITY, N. J..

U. 16413, St. Louis, Mo.; Arthur Herbert, delegate Miller L. Campbell, delegate from Railroad Employees' Union, Pleasantville, N. J., was among the most progressive delegates to this convention and upheld the principles of trade unionism on every hand. He stood up for the organization that he represented and its full share of consideration. Space will not allow us to go into detail concerning the various activities of these delegates, but we can at least touch on some of the things that were accomplished through united effort on their part at this convention. Shuckers' Union, L. Va., has done much condition of the m line of work. The i n everything tend to the working preciated by those He has submitted fa time to time pertai the members of his show that he is la most of the progre proved working con Garrett Rice, President Railroad Coach and Car Cleaners' and Station Porters' Local 16351, of Chicago, Ill., is well known in the labor movement in this section and his energetic work in connection with the development of Coach Cleaners' Organizations throughout the country has been the means of bringing relief and hope to thousands of the people who follow this line of work in order to carn a livelihood. W. M. Watson, delegate from the Freight Handlers' Union 15681, Tampa, Fla., was present with his balmy disposition and fluent talk to report for the people engaged in handling freight in the land of continuous summer and his journey to the convention in the interest of his organization will prove of lasting benefit to those who felt that Watson was the man to lay their claim for economic advantages before this body of progressive workers. Jordan W. Chambers, delegate from Railroad Coach Cleaners' Local 1608 St. Louis, Mo., is a man who has served as business representative of his organization and has always devoted his entire time to endeavoring to create better conditions for those of his class who are compelled to work in order to live and to aid in making the burdens lighter for toiling humanity. Mr. Chambers is well respected in his community and an able representative of his organization. Wm. E. McKinnon, delegate from Shipyard Laborers' Local 15980, Baltimore, Md., one of the men to bring the shipyard laborers' case to the convention, and aid others in trying to better the condition of wage earners in bringing the standard of living to a just level, whereby all people engaged in gainful occupations may enjoy a reasonable degree of comfort, was an enthusiastic delegate in his effort to bring about closer relation of the delegates in order to insure full co-operation and greater possibilities in the labor problems of the race. His motto is "Colored workers, organize," and in so doing demand recognition. Oscar Williams, delegate from Freight Handlers' Union, Local 16313, St. Louis, Mo., was elected to represent his organization by an overwhelming majority, showing their confidence in his ability as a representative. His fight for their permission to become members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks or secure an International charter for their Local Unions carried considerable weight and left an impression on those who were keenly interested in his earnest endeavor to bring the wages of the members of his organization up to a just level where they could be real Americans and not wage slaves depending upon the good will of the employer but relying on their united efforts to make necessary changes from time to time.

Shuckers' Union, Local 15937, Hampton Va., has done much to help better the condition of the men engaged in this line of work. The interest he has shown in everything tending to be of benefit to the working people should be appreciated by those whom he represents. He has submitted favorable reports from time to time pertaining to benefits for the members of his organization, which show that he is largely responsible for most of the progress made toward improved working conditions. Mrs. Elnore Peets, delegate from Domestic Workers' Union, Local 16108 New Orleans, La., was the first and only colored woman acting as a credential delegate to a convention of the American Federation of Labor. Her interest and enthusiasm in the work she was engaged in is exemplified in the following speech she made at this convention: G. M. Brown, delegate from the Train Porters' Union, Local 16526, Kansas City, Mo., was on the job to look after the interest of the train porters of his local union, having been selected by them as the one to bring their grievances and contentions for fair play and an equitable wage to the attention of the convention. Being engaged in that line of work, yet not eligible to membership in the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, it is pleasing to note that wage earners in various lines of work can not be entirely banished from the ranks of progressive workers but can rely upon the support and influence the American Federation of Labor can exert in their behalf, and can not be denied the right to a living wage if they but take advantage of every opportunity afforded them to become members of a trade union regardless of color, creed or nationality. T. H. Mason, delegate from the Freight Handlers' Union, Local 16410 Louisville, Ky., was actively interested in the welfare of members of his organization and did much to aid in developing the organization in his city He is one of the many progressive colored men who are seeking to provide ways and means of enjoying the same economic advantage of any other group of workers, and did much to aid in developing this organization, which has been instrumental in bringing about many needed changes in working conditions in his locality. J. W. Worthy, delegate from Freight Handlers' Union, Local 16395, Salisbury, N. C., was one of the delegates that expressed himself as being thankful that our people are waking up to their full sense of duty and as this was the first time that many of them had been able to attend a convention of this nature, we must rely upon concerted action and energetic work to increase our number of delegates each year. The success of this movement will depend largely upon the amount of energy we as wage earners are willing to furnish for the furtherance of the influence of labor among our race. R. E. Burford, delegate from Freight Handlers' Union, Local 16220, Richmond, Va., was an enthusiastic delegate and stood up for the rights of colored workers in the ranks of organized labor which showed his whole-hearted interest was not lacking and that he was one of the many who were struggling to relieve our people of exploitation at the hands of unscrupulous employers who affiliate them to the temptation with the whole all strife vote to the conjecture the org Hampton, Va.; Mrs. Elnora Peets, delegate from Orleans, La.; G.

Jacob Middleton, delegate from Janitors' Helpers and Laborers' Union 16304, Charleston, S. C., was the grand old man selected by his organization to deliver their message to the convention and stand up for better conditions and aid in developing greater opportunities for the producers of our race and improve on the advantages they have already gained by being identified with the labor movement. His work in the convention was interesting as he was one who fought vigorously for the free access to membership in trade unions as well as internationals. He is one of the leading citizens of Charleston, S. C. and his influence in the labor movement has been of such that he enjoys the confidence and respect of all who know him. He has centered his fight in trying to bring about better opportunities for the people of his race and have them enjoy more of the blessings of life. ton Who Were Not in the Group Photo W. M. Carter, delegate from Freight Handlers' and Station Employees' Local 16281, Baltimore, Md., has served as a business representative for his organization and is loved and respected by all who know him. His energetic work in his organization has been a benefit to all its members. He is progressive, earnest and sincere in everything he attempts to do; a thorough trade unionist who is convinced that the labor movement is a pannace for the workingman's ills and if properly applied will overcome the evil influences the workers are subjected to by unsuperulous employers. Among other delegates present was Thomas Clark, 630 Gold street, Baltimore, Md.; Matt Lewis, 2505 Spring street, Little Rock, Ark.; Edmond Turner, 262 Kennedy street, Mobile Ala.; W. E. Vaughan, Jr., 814 Liberty street, Berkly, Va.; Harry A. Badgett, 403 East Third street, LaJunta, Col.; Robert J. Lane, 1149 Thirty-fifth street, Newport News, Va.; John A. Laey, 1324 Chapel street, Norfolk, Va., who is secretary of the central labor union in that city and an able man, and J. W. Pitts, Oyster Shuckers' Union 16177, Norfolk, Va. All of these men are lined up as representatives in the great industrial army of working men and women who appreciate the need of co-operation through the trade union movement and are aiding in its development in various lines of industry for the benefit of toiling humanity. The packers are going to attempt to break up the union and are trying to make it appear that the work is so slack that they can't use all the men that were affected by the riot. The Pullman Federated Council, after deciding to remain at work pending the decision of the Railroad Administration, adopted a resolution in connection with this action and furnished all the locals affiliated with copy of same acquaintment them with this action. They are attempting to effect a national agreement with the Director General, covering the whole situation. If this is agreed upon, all strikes will be called off and a new vote taken. In event the demands of the committee are turned down, they expect the co-operation of all members of the organization is the Chicago act. Shillady Asks That Action Be Taken Against Washington Post in Letter to Attorney General New York, Aug. 15.—In a letter to the Attorney General of the United States, John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asked that action be taken against the Washington Post on the grounds of incitement to riot in connection with the recent race riots in Washington. The letter is as follows: Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General, United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks if the office of the United States Attorney General intends proceeding against the Washington Post on the ground of incitement to riot in connection with the recent disorders in Washington. The ground for such procedure seems to lie in matter published on the first page of the Washington Post on the morning of Monday, July 21, on the Men to Have Organization of Their Own There is no mention of the Pullman or other sleeping cars in the Plumb plan for government-employers' ownership of railroads. Officers of the Pullman Company say the conductors and trainmen of that corporation are not members of the railroad brotherhoods and therefore have been omitted from the scheme. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Conductors has been organized since the corporation was taken over by the government and the porters have a similar union. Shopmen of the Pullman Company also maintain their own union though they are said to be more closely affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. None of the employees of the Pullman car shops have gone on strike during the railroad car and shopmen's trouble. Observation of the company on the men were asked to go out, but refused. Representatives of the Pullman Company say they have no theory to advance as to why this corporation, which was taken over with the railroads by the government and still is operated that way, was omitted from the Plumb program. There is nothing, they say, however, to prevent amending the Plumb or Sims bill to include the Pullman Company. The sleeping cars owned and operated by the Milwaukee & St. Paul road would be included in the Plumb program, as these cars are operated as part of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road and not as a separate institution. Officials of Pullman say the brotherhoods of the railroads might feel it would be more economical to allow the Pullman concern to drift along privately and the government to rent sleepers instead of owning them, a pooling of this class of equipment being as easily acclaimed under private as under government ownership or control. Another theory for the omission of the sleepers from the measure was that it would tend to force Pullman employees into the railroad organizations, though it has been said that railroad brotherhoods have heretofore declined to allow sleeping car companies' employees to become members of the rail line unions on the ground that their interests were not common. The government has not signed a compensation contract with the Pullman Company, though the latter has signed on its part. Little money has been advanced the Pullman concern by the government, as the earnings of the company have been so heavy the corporation was in no particular need of its rental money 3. OSCAR JOHNSON DIES OF COM PLICATION OF DISEASES. S. Oscar Johnson passed away this week at his home in Coal Creek, Tenn. At the hour of passing he was surrounded by many relatives and friends. The death of this young man ended the career of one who was gifted with the art of making staunch friends. Mr. Johnson will be remembered by Chicagoans, who knew him, as gentleman of scholarly attainments and magnetic personality. He was employed at one time by Harvey B. Saunders, druggist, of this city He left the employ of Mr. Saunders to become the advance agent of a company of jubilee singers, with whom he was still connected until his recent illness. Friends and acquaintances join in sympathy with the bereaved relatives. Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer. evening of which day the worst disorders occurred. The matter referred to reads as follows: "'Mobilization for Tonight.' "Mobilization for tonight. "It was learned that a mobilization of every available service man stationed in or near Washington or on leave here has been order for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus hut, on Pennsylvania avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets. "The hour of assembly is 9 o'clock and the purpose is a 'clean-up' that will cause the events of the last two evenings to pale into insignificance. "Whether official cognizance of this assemblage and its intent will bring about its forestalling cannot be told." In view of the fact the "mobilization" announced by the Washington Post had not been ordered by any authority, military or civil, does not the passage show intent by the Washington Post to bring about such "mobilization?" (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY. STOP SALE OF FIRE ARMS TO NEGROES Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 15.—On account of the score of Negroes arrested for carrying concealed weapons, the police, alarmed by the armed Negro menace, issued orders to all pawn shops and other places that sold fire arms and ammunition, to stop the sale of fire arms to Negroes. The Negroes declared that they were "just getting prepared." A thorough investigation was made by plain clothes policemen in the Hill district, where thousands of colored people live. White Pastor Asks for Square Deal for Negroes White Pastor Asks for Square Deal for Negroes The Rev. W. S. Fleming, in a sermon Sunday at the Joyce Methodist Episcopal Church, said: "Chicago has been shamed and disgraced by the race riots. Numerous suggestions are being offered to prevent a recurrence of the trouble. Hundreds of new-policemen are being sworn in. Courts demand vigorous prosecution and severe penalties, apparently with special reference to the blacks. We talk segregation. The South invites the Negro back, though it has never solved the race problem. Some urge the blacks to join the unions. These so-called remedies do not strike at the root of the difficulty. "The Negro has not been fairly dealt with. He has not had a man's chance. What he needs and has a right to demand is a square deal. To talk race superiority is foolish in the extreme; it is neither proved nor provable. Hoodlums of both races led the riots. "When the white church people of this country take the stand that the Negro is a man and must have a man's treatment, when we not only talk but live the brotherhood of man, then and only then will race riots cease." 4,500 IN ONE COUNTY UNABLE TO WRITE. North Carolina to Open Adult Schools; Half of H literates Cotton Mill Men. Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 15.—The extent of illiteracy in sections of North Carolina is revealed in a recent report made by the superintendent of public instruction, statistics for which were gathered from the tests of draft registrants, showing that more than one thousand young men between the ages of 21 and 31 years, residing in Guilford county alone, are unable to write their own names. No distinction is made between white and Colored residents; therefore it is impossible to determine racial percentages of illiteracy. The percentage of illiteracy among old men who were prevented from going to school during the days of reconstruction following the civil war is much larger. It is conservatively estimated that there are about forty-five hundred adults in Guilford county who are unable to write their names.' Approximately half of those who failed to pass the literacy tests were employed in cotton mills. Although adult schools are to be established, the best of teachers will be needed, as it will require extreme taef to interest the old students in their work. But it can be done, as was revealed in the army, and North Carolin' is going to do all possible to remove thi stain from its reputation.

MUSE, Director A Business Stimulant That's Most Surprising-Is a Regular Dose of Advertising The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE Warren B. Douglas George Larkin has been bitten by the star bug and a terrible case of staritis has set in that threatens to carry his name into the electric lights very soon. Mr. Larkin has won his spurs by long service as a leading man and his large personal following warrants the faith his backers have in him. Ruth Roland expects to be able to announce the name of her bungalow very shortly. She has received enough letters in answer to the announcement that we printed in a previous issue, to name every home in the United States. Fannie Ward has the most beautiful private garden of sea anemones in the world. It is in a marble pool on her beautiful California estate and is said to surpass the famous collections of the Duke of Monaco. Thomas Meighan recently took John McCormack thru the Metro studio. Mr. McCormack had a fine time learning all the tricks of the trade and snapping pictures of the various things that took his fancy—one being Eileen Perey. May Allison has another sparkling comedy role in "Almost Married." Those who saw her splendid work in "Peggy Does Her Darndest" will welcome this new production. Viola Dana is working hard on a new picture called "The Microbe." It is rather hard to liken dainty Viola to a microbe, but anything is liable to happen in pictures. William Russell is "Some Liar"—in his new picture. Not only is he a liar—but he's a salesman, with the faintest line of goods you ever heard of—cradles and coffins—guaranteed to get 'em coming and going. Fans of long standing will be pleased With Comrade Nagel Behind the Scenes With Comrade Nagel Behind the Scenes Did you see "Forever After," with Alice Brady and Conrad Nagel? If you did, of course you have not forgotten the unforgettable Teddy, as he must ever affeessentially as, the adolescent Ted. Teddy, in the garden, pleading gruffly, "Aw, Jen-nie, come awn!" Teddy, with what Stevenson aptly called "the greensickness of youth"; Teddy of the unmanagable hands and feet, the still more unmanageable and wholly gulpy emotions, the fierce-young humbleness, the flaunting young pride; Teddy, suffering in the many throes of his youth . . . He was so human, that Teddy—such a flash-back to the days when all of us were Teddys and Jennies and all the world was a garden, a garden with a balcony, inaccessible; when all the world was consummated in a kiss . . . that clean dear youth, interpatterned with sunshine and pain, the youth of Tarkington, of Teddy and Jennie in "Forever After." It would not have amazed me to have found Conrad Nagel, in reality, a very ultra, a very super-sophisticated sort of a young person. Such success as has come to him might very easily have that effect. For instance, or for instances, there was the Princess Stock Company in Des Moines, which last is Mr. Nagel's home town; then New York, where he "did" some vaudeville, and after that, in rapid succession, "The Natural Law," "Experience," Laurie in the screen version of "Little Women," "The Lion and the Mouse" with Alice Joyce and "Redhead" with Alice Brady. All of these were successes, personal and general, likely to make of the young quester an arrogant and assured personage—but it has not done that to Conrad Nagel. He is easy and pleasant and eager and unassuming—and he likes to work and is ambitious. Splendid ingredients. "We're going to be on the road next year—for a whole year," he said, with deft strokes of the rabbit's foot, "with 'Forever After.' I hate awfully being away from New York for so long, and yet I know that this tour will be bully experience. It will give me the personal touch. And I love the part. You know, I was in the navy, and Mr. Brady had some one else take my part for the matinees, and I ran over from the ship and made the evening performances. It was strenuous." He added, with enthusiasm, "Don't you love Jennie? She's a dear!" His parents, he told me, are both artists, his father being director, or president, of a dramatic college or something of the sort, in Iowa, and his mother a musician, if I am not mistaken. Any- with the news that Ella Hall, the dainty little ingeneue of a few years ago, is the mother of an extra-precious baby. She is perfectly content with the smaller audience of her own home, with baby and husband, Emory Johnson to applaud. Florence Vidor, who has done such excellent work with the Lasky people, will shortly be seen in "The Other Half" upon which King Vidor is busily engaged. She will be supported by Charles Meredith, Zazu Pitts, and David Butler. Movies have indeed invaded the two-day circuit. "Topics of the Day," the novel screen feature which presents timely and witty paragraphs selected from the press of the world by "The Literary Digest," is now being shown in the Keith vaudeville theaters in the United States. It is said that managers have found the "Topics" a great opening "act" which puts the audience in a happy, receptive mood for the vaudeville acts that follow. Another dear old man of the movies has passed away. Daniel Gilfether, the man who played with Mary Pickford in so many of her early Famous Player pictures. He did some strong character work in "The Red Cirle," and "Who Pays?" the serials released by Balboa, Mr. Gilfether's last work was with Marguerita Fisher in "The Man of Charity." Embryo scenario writers will be enjoyed to know that the Universal Film Company throws open its doors far and wide to new writers. In fact, Universal desires "new stories" from new authors." We fear we have let that company in for an overpowering amount of mail. way, the point of the matter is, that the artistry which he makes so manifest comes to him, not from without, but from within. It is in his blood. And he was brought up in the atmosphere of it, the encouraging atmosphere. “Mother and Dad always wanted me to be an actor,” he said, “from the very beginning. They spurre me on and told was now of the dearly beloved. There opposition. It doesn't make so good a story, does it?” He looked rueful. “I’m afraid I won't make a very good reading anyway,” he said, “that's one of the drawbacks of merely being young — I haven't had the time for many dark deeds. Now, if you would come around next year . . .” he waved an inclusive hand . . . “I'd see what I could do,” he promised, with his generous smile. “Hold on, though,” he added, “I did go to jail once!” "That's sufficiently dark," I said, with encouragement, and pencil in air. "What was your—ah—form of crime?" "Oh, that . . . when I was ten or something like that, I set fire to a bridge in Des Moines with some firecrackers. The police took undue offense and I took to a cell. There I sat, with everything but the stripes, waiting for my exceedingly irate parent to come and bail me forth. I'm sorry to say that I can't remember thinking of a thing but the fun I was missing and what I'd have to eat when Dad came for me. I never for an instant doubted that Dad would come." The last sentence is characteristic of Conrad Nagel. He has about him an air of equanimity which admits of no doubt. He has a complacence and an earnestness and a belief which is due partly to given youth and partly to given ability, both of which are indubitable. And he believes, which is mature, in taking things easily, slowly, learning as one goes. He would like to play "Hamlet"; he would like to play "Oswald" in Ibsen's "Ghosts"—and in the drawer of his dressing-table are thumbed copies of both of these—but he is studying then and playing the things he knows . . . wherein is a wisdom sound and deep. We have passed the stage when we described the blue eyes and the gold hair of the players, or the profile, or the inches . . . and yet there is always a reversion. Conrad Nagel reminds one of a Greek statue come suddenly alive. He has the clean-cut lines, the hint of sternness, the immortal youth . . . more than any other quality is that of youth . . . that sense he gives one of the Maytime of life . . . that freshness of vision . . . that perennial hope. If he can give that to a world, war-weary and pain-weary, he need not turn to the “Melancholy Dane” nor yet- to the subtle Ibsen . . . these will last so long as we ourselves . . . but youth is a gift which a young god must bring. BUSINESS LEAGUE DIS- GRAND JURY INDIGTS Y M C A News While Mary MacLaren was at the little town of Independence, California, taking scenes for "The Weaker Vessel," her new picture, she discovered a shoe store with boots of the vintage of 1868. She bought a pair for use in some future film. They have half-inch heels and square toes that the star declares make her look like a lady policeman. Jess Willard, the world's former heavyweight champion, has answered the call of the movies. In his first picture "The Challenge of Chance" he is called upon to display a bit of histrionic ability. Jess hit his victim so hard that he knocked him out of humor for the rest of the day. Alice Lake has indeed graduated from the ranks of comedy, for she is busy supporting Bert Lytell and Hale rhamilton in their new Metro features. Constance Talmadge and Harrison Ford are at it again. They are one of the finest comedy teams we have. This time they offer us "Happiness a la Mode." Eugene O'Brien's first starring vehicle has been fitted titled "The Perfect Lover." Anyone who has seen his work with Norma Talmadge will concede this point. Click-click snipped the shears. Lovely Viola Dana has cut her hair for her new picture, "Some Bride." Now she's repentant, but it's too late. Chester Conklin, who is doing some star comedy stuff at the William Fox Sunshine Comedy lot, admits that he is not an ordinary person. He has been making comedy pictures for five years, but the first time he ever saw a dramatic production being filmed was on the Fox a few days ago, where he watched Big Improvement in Washington Show Business Since State Went Dry Seattle, Aug. 2.—Prohibition has had no effect on things thatrized music cabaretical, etc., as the state of Washington slipped over into the dry column January 1, 1916. In the three and a half years that John Barleycoh has been interred we can form some definite opinion as to the working out of business conditions under the so-called dry laws. It took about six months for conditions to aright themselves under new order of things. Since that time business has prospered to an undreamed of degree in every line. Especially is this noticeable in all forms of amusement patronage. The passing of liquor has proved an immense impetus to music, both artistic ally and commercially and including all classes of music. Here it has reflected itself in a greater patronage of concerts the local symphony orchestra, more pupils studying music, in the greatly increased sale of musical instruments and more employment to professional musicians at a greatly increased wage. Here it seems that we have adopted music as a substitute for booze, partially at least, and the effect has proven more spiritualizing and with less negative reaction. It is not just for the reasons that people have more money to spend for music and music-making devices, for the stage and various concerts, but it is the fact that those of us who used to use alcoholic beverages in the olden days to get away from the material things of our everyday life, are using music, the theater and other amusements to a degree for the same purpose. All these give rest, recreation and relaxation, and without the resulting intoxication, as in the case of booze. The call of the cabaret, theater, concert, circus, movie, dance, hockey, etc., has not been downed in Seattle or any other northwestern city because of the state and nation going dry. Bank clearances today average five million dollars, four years ago they were a trifle over half this amount. NEGEGES LEAVE LEXINGTON, NEB (Special to the Whip.) Linecoln, Neb., Aug. 15.—In order to avoid elashes with a white-mob of overwhelming numbers, every Colored man who was employed here on paving work left town. The whites fired into their quarters after a Colored man was reported to have been caught in a white man's home. The whites in this town have refused to do the work on the streets, so the Colored men were brought in. Southerners of the lowest type are in the majority here. AGE GENERAL AND PUBLIC TASTE Priseilla Dean has been a Wild Cat of Paris, a Brazen Beauty, a Two-Souled Woman, a Wicked Darling and an Exquisite Thief. Now she expects to prove beyond peradventure that she is better than anything else a Spitfire. Eugene Mullin, the new scenario chief at Universal, was the staff author with the company that took Clara Kimball Young around the world making a series of one-reel dramas. Mullin says he used to start a story in San Francisco, write a few scenes in Hong Kong and figure out the final fade-out in Sydney, New South Wales. Mullin and Miss Young are renewing this old acquaintance now that both are members of the Hollywood movie colony. Eileen Percy, the little blonde lady who began her picture career with Douglas Fairbanks, has been engaged to appear opposite Sessue Hayakawa in "The Gray Horizon." Miss Percy, it might be added, is one of the best golfers on the West Coast. Thomas H. Ince has decided to co-star Douglas MacLean and Doris May. Doris has been playing with Charlie Ray under the name of Doris Lee, and Douglas has supported all of the Ince stars. Big things are expected of this new team. Doris Kenyon expects to issue a volume devoted exclusively to her own poems very shortly. Miss Kenyon has had a great many poems in the leading magazines and newspapers throughout the country of late, and her friends will be glad to see them in book form. A. E. CHARLES OLDEN Charles Olden, of the Lafayette Players, is credited with being the most versatile actor on the American stage. He is at home wherever cast, whether he is playing leads, heavies, comedies or characters. Charles is well like by performers as well as the public. There is always praise for Olden wherever his name is mentioned. JAZZ MUSIC ALL THE RAGE IN LONDON London, Aug. 15.—Hardly had the novelty of American jazz music had time to wear off slightly here when a southern orchestra, whose specialty is syncopated music arrived and set a large part of the London public by the ears with plantation songs and a varied program of Negro melodies. Damning the American invasion of Britain is a popular pastime in more ways than one in some quarters just now, but Negro syncopation is not included. The erities are singing its praise, and sedate Britons are audibly patting time with their feet as they listen to it. Almost overnight a well known American candy maker has pre-empted one of the finest sites in Piceadilly and is tickling John Bull's sweet tooth. The clamorous chorus which shouts against the Americanization of Britain has not discovered yet that the candy is American, but when it does there will probably be more fat in the fire. American trade officials have been inquiring about the chances of interesting the Britons in American confections, which, because of America's stricter pure food laws, are considerably purer than many British makes. Even ice cream sodas are making headway, although some Londoners insist on enjoying them with roast beef and potatoes. Most Surprising—Is Theaters Closed New York, Aug. 15.—John Drew and the entire Barrymore family—Ethel, Lionel and Jack—joined the striking actors and indications are musicians and stage hands will offer their aid to the strikers. Following the announcement of Mr. Drew, which was made at the headquarters of the Actors' Equity Association tonight, word came from Atlantic City that Al Jolson had cast his lot with the strikers and "was with them heart and soul." Stand with Profession This letter from Miss Ethel Barrymore, read at Saturday's meeting by Mr. Drew, was greeted with cheers: "While my entire theatrical career has been associated with but one management, from which I have received only fairness and consideration, I feel that the traditions of my family ally logically and irremediably with the members of my profession in the Actors' Equity Association." Hitchcock Is Irate A telegram was received by Equity officials from Raymond Hitchcock in which he branded as false any statement that he was ready to appear for the managers as a strikebreaker. He said he was entirely in sympathy with the actors. Whether the strike will affect the Belasco productions will be known when the first rehearsal for the "Gold Diggers" is to be held. Many prominent actors are in the east, including Bruce McRae and Ina Claire, members of the Actors' Equity Association. Amusement Places Reopen in Riot Zones After making a tour of inspection through the "Black Belt," Chief of Police John J. Garrity issued an order lifting the lid on amusement resorts. As soon as the order was issued, lights sparkled, glasses tinkled, jazz bands jazzed, dancers swayed and dame pleas use reigned supreme. The old stroll filled with stroller and joy absorbers, everywhere gaiety was in full swing. The Dreamland had to hang out the old "no more room" sign. The other places soon filled up and the recent disturbance was soon forgotten. The strollers were all on dress parade. And when they turn out, it's some pageant. The soldiers are gone, and the "mama's boys," in advanced English styles, are once more holding the old corner down at Thirty-fifth and State streets, and ogling the fair damssels who trip lightly by. You talk about Broadway being "The Great White Way," say, fellow, you ought to see the "Great Dark Way" when she is on duty. You can find anything from an oriental parlor to the lowly chili and hamburger stand. If you watch the crowd, stroll slowly by, you will not be able to tell the boss banker from the boss bootblack. You might mistake the bootblack for the banker, if togs and sparklers have anything to do with it. It is just one cosmopolitan gathering, the Bohemia of the Colored folks. You can find in most any group standing near the curb a banker, a waiter, an editor, a cook, a doctor, a barber, a lawyer, a chauffeur, a real estate dealer and a bootblack. And they are all discussing in an intelligent way how to better serve the black man. WHERE THEY ARE week in Calgary, Canada. Green and Pugh are playing the week at the Pantages, Fortland, Ore. The original Chicago Girl Act, the Panama Trio, is headed west. They are splitting the week between Butte, Anaconda and Missoula, Mont. Rucker and Winfred are filling the Pantages in Denver this week. Tabor and Green, the high class double, in New York City, playing the Boulevard. Wilbur and Sweatman opens next week at the Royal, New York City. Loring's "Smoky Mokes" are to stay in Norfolk, Va., for a long run. As old as it is, there are five Uncle Tom's Cabin companies on the road. Dixie Troubadours are going great in Pasadena, Cal. Dandy Dixie Shows are playing the week in Mineral, Va. Famous Players, Bernie Organs, Wurlizer pianos, some poker players. NEGRO, AGED 102, HAS 23 CHILDREN Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 15.—The father of twenty-three children, Jacob Hunter, colored, and 102 years old, claims the distinction of being the oldest man in central Missouri. Sixteen of Hunter's children are living. Hunter was born April 1, 1817, and was a slave until after the Civil War. SOCIETY Charles Chaplin Would Like to Become Shakespearean Actor Would Forsake Movies for the Footlights Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 15.—Charlie Chaplin has come to the rescue of the late William Shakespeare. At least, Charlie is en route to the rescue. He let it leak out today that he is planning to realize a lifelong ambition to present Shakespeare plays—comedies, preferably—on the legitimate stage. So the American people can take warning and prepare themselves to see Burnham Forest doing the Chaplin walk on the trail of the ill starred Macbeth; Poor Yorick wearing a mustache, or Hamlet adorned with big feet and a crooked bamboo cane. Chaplin's intention, however, is serious. "There are just as many laughs in Shakespeare in 1919 as there were in the days of Queen Elizabeth," he says. "Yes, it is true that I am collaborating with Reginald Pole on a new creation." But for further information it was necessary to seek Pole, who is a British Shakespearean scholar spending the summer with Chaplin. "Chaplin is making a serious study of Shakespeare," Pole declared. "I predict for him success. It will ot surprise me to see him make the start before the end of the year. Probably, however, he will try it first in some town where he will appear incoGNITO." Hammerstein's Millions Reduced to $5,000 New York, Aug. 15.—Mrs. Emma Hammerstein, widow of Oscar Hammerstein, is named as sole heir in the will of the impresario which was presented for filing today. The value of the estate is stated to be "more than $5,000." A few years ago Hammerstein's wealth was estimated at near $4,000,000, but he suffered heavy losses through his operatic ventures in Philadelphia and London. Nearly Everybody Goes to DREAMLAND BUFFET SEATING CAPACITY 500 Electric Fans Make This CHICAGO'S COOLEST SPOT 3520 South State Street WM. BOTTOM'S Phones Douglas 8383 and 2496 --- COMPOSER OF "BLUES" MAKES GOOD IN N.Y. Many Song Hits Written by Colored Composer New York, Aug. 15.—Mr. W. C. Handy, manager of the Pace & Handy Music Company, New York City, formerly of Memphis, Tenn., stands out conspicuously among the thousands of colored men who have come North from Southern states and made good. He is best known by his "Memphis Blues" which caused many bands that crossed the sea to receive ovations, as Europeans had not heard much of the "blues" and jazz music of which Mr. Handy is the originator. This is the age of specialists and he has shown remarkable judgment by specializing in Blues, although he could write a hymn, an opera, or paraphrase our Neo spirituals. He is the only colored man who is a member of the Music Publisher Protective Association. He has an agency in London that covers Europe, Asia, Africa, and one in Sydney, Australia, that covers Australasia. In the years to come the American people will know that he is the most far sighted composer our race has produced. Couple Wed by Phone Denver, Colo., Aug. 15.—A trans-continental marriage was performed today by long distance telephone when Mrs. Marie J. West, in Denver, became the bride of James A. Horne, a Denver inventor, in New York. The Rev. O. Eliznbeth Anderson of Loveland officiated at Denver. When time for the presentation of the ring came a friend who up to that time had been best man and presenter of the bride became the proxy bridegroom, placing the ring on the bride's finger. earlyady Goes Same as in Movies "How Can I Miss When I Have Dead Aim" State Congressman Are Against Lowden's Commission Warren B. Douglas, State representative from the third senatorial district, wrote an open letter to Governor Lowden denouncing the proposed commission on segregation. He declares it a step toward Barbarism. Some of the very striking points in the letter, were: "Segregation is proposed as a remedy. This is going back to barbarism. In old Jerusalem the different nationalities and religious sects have been segregated for centuries, and yet it has required a standing army to keep the peace. "Segregation Of No Use" "You segregate the Negroes from the whites and it will not be long until the poor whites must be segregated from the genteel rich. Then the Jews must be assigned a certain quarter, and so on. "We are facing not only a great question, but a most serious one. Be careful that ye do not undo all the work of Abraham Lincoln and his army of emancipation. Rich Help the Poor "The effort to segregate the vicious from the virtuous has proved an utter failure. It is the Lord's will that the rich should live beside the poor, to help the poor. In His house the rich and poor are to meet together. His people are the salt of the earth. His plan to save this world is to mix the good with the bad, to leaven the lump. How Food Was Distributed to Sufferers During Riots A Whip reporter who interviewed Virgil L. Williams concerning the recent distribution of food to needy families, found that Mr. Williams had started a relief station of his own even before the Red Cross sent out help. The money that was unselfishly spent by this philanthropist reached into the neighborhood of three figures. As soon as the Red Cross opened a relief station, Mr. Williams was the first to volunteer his services and limousine to the cause. Being a man of executive ability, he was given full charge of distribution in the main station on State Street, ably assisted by Alderman R. R. Jackson and L. B. Anderson. Mr. Williams deserves the major credit for this work.

When interviewed by a Whip reporter, Dr. Stinson, who is the president and founder of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial School, gave a synopsis of the work of the past few years. They have four large buildings built by the students, who are desirous of working their way through school. The funds from the mass meeting are to be used to pay deserving pupils to pay their tuition. An endowment of $250,000 is also to be asked. It is up to the Colored and white people to assist this school in every way possible. It is in need and must have money. Hon. George F.

Stewart and his intelligent congregation and many others throughout the city of both races indicate their willingness to make sacrifices to aid this very needy cause of the Colored people in the South. All persons who desire to do something substantial for the masses as well as the classes, and especially the poor boys and girls who cannot secure sufficient funds to pay their monthly bills of $5.75, are urged to be present and bring their friends.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 15.—A Pittsburgh street car was the scene of an insult given to two young East End ladies, one evening last week, while on their way home from church. The white man offering the insult is reported to be an employee of the county, but he gave a bogus name at the police station and forfeited his money by failing to appear at the hearing the morning following the insult. He gave his name as Cooper and his address as a number on a prominent street in the East End, but upon investigation, both name and the address proved to be false. The young ladies were going home on the car, when the white man rudely insulted one of them by placing his hand on her person and making ugly remarks. Some young colored men were on the car, and they came to the assistance of the girls. When the car stopped for the while man to alight, he cursed and swore at the colored man who followed him off. Nothing happened in the streets until a policeman was attracted by the loud talking of all the parties, and the white man was placed under arrest. The girls, who had gotten off at the next stop, were consulted by the officer, and he took them as witnesses against the white man. The girls reported the conduct of the man, and he, evidently seeing his mistake and realizing the seriousness of his offense, put up $30 for his appearance the next morning, giving a false name and address, and disappeared. SOUTH HOLLAND BANK ROBBED BY FOUR WHITES AND ONE COLORED. Four white men and one colored man forced the president of the South Holland Bank to open the vault, and took all the money and bonds in sight, which amounted to $3,400 in cash and $3,450 in Liberty bonds. The robbers drove to the bank in a car. One remained at the wheel, with the engine running, while the others rushed in the bank with drawn revolvers and forced the president, bookkeeper and scrub woman into a compartment set off with iron gratings. After cleaning up the place they drove away in the direction of Chicago. I Miss why UNDERS Phone Drexel 2051 uggist HER Palmer's Skin Success..... Ford Royal Whitener..... Kashmir Cleanser.....

To the Editor of The World: Concerning some of the recent riotings of whites and blacks, and including the recent World editorial which has brought such effusive thanks from black contributors, it occurs to me that something yet remains to be said in earnest warning. I am old enough to recall some of those admirable black "mammies" and "uncles" of the seventies who in the Middle West remained close to the old homes of former masters and who years after their constitutional freedom were privileged autocrats over the white children of those homes. From the edict of one of those old mammies there was no appeal to father or to mother. Her "You all behave yo'se'f" was final, even to a warm and warming black palm properly applied. But with the Booker T. Washingtonisms preached to the blacks, conditions have changed. The Negro in the United States must be convinced that this will continue to be a white man's country. Anything which leads him aggressively into thinking otherwise will mean his undoing. In individual measure I have known many black men whose lives would shame the records of hundreds of the so-called "illy whites." But those have been exceptional blacks, subconsequently tutored by whites and by these whites shown a fullest measure of respect as between man and man. Broadly and in the color sense, however, there are blacks and blacks. A number of years ago, talking with an old citizen of the old South in Savannah, this student of the Negro told me that he could round up 100 black men from Savannah streets and find a dozeen distinct types of Negro, ranging from the highest type Zulu down to the lowest representative whose ancestors a few hundred years ago were cannibals. Will the black man dare assert that he has been as careful on this point, as it involves natural selections? Time was when the slave markets of the Western-Southern States quoted the Negro of the old South many points off in contrast with their own predominant Zulu types of slaves. Brought up as I was with the old-type "free nigger" of Missouri and out of experience with the decent black man calling myself his friend, I feel that The World's editorin', which has called for so much of the black man's ringing enthusiasm and praise, may harm the Negro's condition. 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. 4th—Your patronage is the only patronage that he can expect. 5th—His prices are lower than can be found elsewhere. --- known would the sose have seiously whites aspect as e, howcks.

Woodson, 2907 Dearborn street, was arraigned before Judge Stewart of the Harrison Street Court on a charge of having stolen goods in their possession, the goods in question being six quarts and twenty-five half-pints of whiskey, which the police claimed to have been stolen from the Douglas Liquor House. The police receiving information that there was whiskey on Woodson's property, entered and searched every nook and corner until they came across what they desired. The Woodsons, who were represented by Attorney Albert B. George, a colored attorney, proved that the liquor had been purchased before July 1. Attorney George laid down a barrage of legal points, ripping the search and seizure act to shreds, causing the Judge to dismiss the case. The Judge cautioned the police to use more judgment in the future.

C., Aug. 15—In connection with the proposed appointment of colored women to the woman's bureau of the police department, Commissioner Brownlow explained that the purpose is to have such operatives work exclusively among colored girls and women. There never has been any thought but to confine their activities strictly to this character of work, he said. Reports have been circulated to the effect that the colored police women would discharge general police duties. The commissioner pointed out that the only conditions under which a police woman would be expected to arrest a man would be those suggesting that a crime was about to be committed, and under such conditions it is equally the duty of any private citizen to make an arrest. Search and Seizure Case Dismissed Professor Garner and other naturalists have advanced the idea that gorillas could be used as servants. John Backhaus, the famous African hunter, claims that this could never be so, for the giant apes are too soft hearted and that they would soon pine away and die of broken hearts if transplanted from native haunts.

Davis Social Workers-Citizens Conference has rendered tremendous aid in raising funds, Rev. Williams of Olivet Church has given the use of his church free of cost, while Rev. Bryant of South Park M. E. Church has been constantly at work aiding in every possible way. The Urban League, through Prof. Park and Mr. Hill, have been engaged in working on the employment situation. Mr. Arthur of the Y. M. C. A. has aided in every way possible. As soon as the rioting broke out John R. Shillady, National Executive Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and H. J. Seligman, head of the publicity department, came to Chicago, aided together with Dr. Bentley, Mr. MacNeal and other local officers in the formulation of plans for immediate handling of the local situation. At that time Mr. Shillady made an offer on behalf of the National office of $200 for immediate use with more to come if needed. Since that time Walter F. White, Assistant National Secretary, has come to Chicago, where he will remain several weeks, aiding as long as the need exists in adjusting local conditions and in effecting a readjustment of the situation. Within a very short time, as soon as the Joint Emergency Committee can complete its plans and can arrive at an approximate cost of the work which it has mapped out to do, a campaign for funds will be made. It is planned to enter actively into the defense of all persons who are under arrest or indicted for participating in the rioting, in order that no persons who are innocent or who protected their homes or persons from mob violence may be punished and that all persons may secure a fair and impartial trial. It is further determined to see that other persons who did participate in the rioting and who have not been apprehended shall be arrested and brought to trial and punished. In the next issue the full plans of the Committee will be given in detail and an active campaign will be waged to secure the funds that will be needed and are needed at the present time to aid in the defense. All persons who have any definite knowledge regarding the rioting, whether of their own cases or those of others, are asked to call at Olivet Baptist Church, Thirty-first and South Park avenue, and give them to the lawyers who are there for that purpose. Only through such complete co-operation can the situation be settled satisfactorily. NOT DR. I Procrastinat And when applied to your mouth means the loss of your teeth and your health.

FILLINGS, 50 Cents and Up ist ust South of 47th Street McGraw Had the Time of His Life in Cincinnati McGraw Had Everything Short of Violence The Giants, if one could believe the wild alarms from New York, were going to be the Ethiopians in a race riot—Cincinnati was going to do all sorts of atrocities to them—but not a hair on the head of any of them was harmed, unless they had a hair-pulling on their own bench. However, the spirit of the populace wasn't what you might call friendly. Never have I heard anything like the booing and bawling that was given Toney, Chase and McGraw. And though they say the Giants can stand that sort of thing, I think it got on their nerves all right. Never have I seen Cincinnati boil and bubble as it seethed during this series. Think of it—15,000 out on Friday despite a rain, the mob packed into every corner on Saturday and the house sold out long in advance for Sunday, and thousands turned away at the gates. The attendance for the three games must have been 70,000. Compare the population of Cincinnati with that of New York or Chicago, or even Philadelphia, Boston or St. Louis, and figure what such an outpouring, on the percentage of population basis, would mean in those cities. In New York it would mean that 200,000 bugs would try to storm the Polo Grounds in a single afternoon. Wow! The greatest baseball battle of the season in either of the big leagues is at hand. The Cincinnati Reds Wednesday invade the Polo grounds, New York, to fight a duel to the finish with the New York Giants. The battle will last three days, and during that time, if the rain lays off, there will be six games played. It is all on account of the weather—the Reds being driven out by the rain on their previous endeavors. The Reds are at the top of their form. The Giants are re-enforced with two good pitchers—Phil Douglass, obtained from the Cubs, and Art Nehf from the Braves. The Reds trimmed the Giants at Cincinnati two out of three and went into first place. In the three and went they scored twelve runs to the Giants' six. The Giants' continued their losing at St. Louis' and Chicago, while the Reds kept on winning. On paper the Giants look best, but in actual performances they are slightly shaded by Pat Moran's team. Fans always hesitate to pick the Reds—seems luck always has been against them, but the great race made by Cincinnati this season has awakened the fans and critics everywhere. They have confidence in the Reds and are boldly picking them to win the pennant following the climb into first place in the series at Cincinnati. There will be three great crowds out to see the teams fight it out, and the advantage of playing on their own grounds and with their own fans backing them will be with the Giants, and yet the Reds fight as hard on the road as they do at home. The National League race likely will be decided in New York this week. This is a great season for hitting in consecutive games. Jacobson of St. Louis Brown's stopped yesterday after hitting in 16 games. Peek of N. Y. Yankees in 28 and Joe Wilhort of Wichita of the Western League, former N. Y. Giant, breaks the world's record by hitting in 5f consecutive games. Doping base ball is just as hard as ever. The day it will become possible to dope the game; on that day will base ball cease to be the national pastime. "They shall not pass," the French defenders of Verdun said of the Germans when the Hun hordes were trying to drive through that famous fort and sweep on to Paris. And the Germans didn't pass. "They shall not pass," appears to be the slogan of the defenders of the National League's consecutive victory record this year. And the teams that try to break the record are not passing. The National League's Verdun is seven straight. Winning that many seems rather easy. Going beyond it seems impossible. Cincinnati twice won seven straight, but couldn't make it eight. The Giants did the same. Pittsburgh and St. Louis each won seven in a row and were stopped. What it takes to stop these clubs that try to win the eight straight seems to be exactly what the Boston Braves have in stock. They stopped St. Louis, Pittsburgh and the Reds, and then added the Giants to their list. The Cardinals stopped the Reds once and the Reds once halted the Giants. Langford and Thompson Fight to Draw Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 15.—Sam Langford, the "Boston Tar Baby," and Jack Thompson of Philadelphia, fought fifteen fast and furious rounds to a draw, last Monday night. It was the first fight in an elimination series for the $1,500 belt offered by Billy McClaim, fight promoter of this city, for the colored heavyweight championship of the world. Fight fans all over the country claim that Harry Wills, the New Orleans Terror, is the only logical claim for this honor, and that it will be necessary for others to first eliminate him before they can claim the title.

More Johnsons in National Army Than Any Other Name The War Risk Insurance is authority for the fact that there were more Johnsons in the National Army than any other name. The following statement shows a compilation issued by the bureau: There were 53,200 Johnsons in the army, 51,500 Smiths, 49,000 Williams, 48,000 Browns, 28,000 Jones, 22,000 Andersons, and 18,500 Walkers.

Two Men Attack Woman Quick Action by Authorities Prevents Mob Violence Urbana, Ill., Aug. 15.—William and Sidney, of Chicago, are held here in the county jail. They are charged with an attack on Miss Nora Simmons, white, of Arcola. The two men were caught by a posse of 500 after cornering them in a cornfield. The alarm was spread over the entire Champaign County. Policeman Michael Wagner of Champaign, was one of the first men to arive at the cornfield. He was overcome by one of the suspects, who relieved him of his gun and watch. Lieut. Nat J. Prettymen, a militia man, and Joseph Scheurich were responsible for the capture of the men who were turned over to the authorities. It is claimed that two colored men jumped from a passing train, ran to Miss Simmons' home mistreated and choked her. Alertness on the part of the sheriff prevented an attempt at lynching. Had this been in the "gallant" south no kind of action would have foiled the men who attempted to take the law in their hands.

Bill Donovan Hands Out Few Words About the Umpires Bill Donovan, now managing the Jersey City team, has something to say about umpires. Among his observations are the following points: "The ex-player is a bad umpire because he is always figuring plays out before they are completed. He knows what ought to happen on certain kinds of hits or in certain situations. And he makes up his mind in advance on his decisions. "He cannot help this. A player is always thinking ahead of the play. This is so even if he is sitting on the bench watching the game. "When a veteran player gets to be an umpire, therefore, he cannot be expected to change his complete baseball thinking process. He cannot do so. And he is invariably a bad umpire. "It is a mistake to make umpires out of veteran players. Young men should be secured. When they get on in years they should be replaced, as ball players are. "Under the present scheme of things the umpiring in the major leagues is mediocre. I'll bet there are not five umpires on the combined staff of the National and American leagues who can read a newspaper without wearing eyeglasses."

Keep betting against the White Sox. Virgil Williams will fool you, he will not open a relief station for your benefit next winter. If the White Sox ever give Cicotte five runs in the first inning, he will drop dead. Ed Carey ex-White Sox is back in Chicago semipro, hope to see him out at 39th before the snow falls. As for cinch bets, suppose some eminent expert had offered to wager back in April that neither the Red Sox or Cubs would be within 100 points of the top in August. We know of one keen student of the game who was willing to bet the family jewels that both the Cincinnati Reds and White Sox would crack wide open before the middle of July. There are times in this game when you can't even guess. Dispatches from Detroit say that the American Giants are hitting the ball. That's good news, because Rube Foster's strategy Whitworth's pitching and Charleston's base-running can't win all the time.

New York, Aug. 15.—Richard Johnson, an employee of the Pullman Co., was charged with pilling pillow cases from one of the Pullmans on the Lackawanna Railroad, and was fined $50. While counting his fine, Hans Berger was arraigned for stealing two chickens from a restaurant of the Lackawanna road. Hans entered a plea of guilty and was fined $10. Johnson wanted to know which was the greater offense, that of stealing pillow cases or chickens. He said he couldn't understand how the judge fined his so much for the former offense than Berger was taxed for the latter.

Mrs. Marie Roundtree, 20 East Thirtieth street, said she saw Graves come running into his home, the night of the shooting, saying the "law" was after him — meaning a policeman. Mrs. Graves, she said, was afraid of her husband, and told Mrs. Roundtree that "if he would kill his son that way," he might also kill his wife. Lydia Conway, colored girl, said she had seen Graves in the vicinity of the spot where Copling was slain, and about ten minutes before the shooting occurred. Later she saw him vanish toward his home.

In the great family of American labor, the Negro stands as an illegitimate child, an offspring of economic immorality. From the feast of economic prosperity he has been denied the benefits. Today, he is standing in an anomalous position, shifting between diversified forces and halting between varied opinions. The structure upon which he stands is temporary, it must be torn down soon. The Negro must move somewhere. Therefore we ask: quo vadis, where do we go from here? Of the 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States today it is self-evident truth that over 80 percent are laborers. 65 percent of that proportion being unskilled. The aggregated capital of the whole race is so comparatively small to that of the other racial groups that for some time to come, he will remain in category of laborer and the exploited. Therefore from this angle alone, we are presently concerned. The South from time immemorial has been the background of the Negro laborer. The Negroe's close alliance with the cotton industry has practically made the two until recently almost inseparable. His first advent in the cotton industry was in the sixteenth century where he appeared as a slave and a human chattel, cultivating the "silver fleece" and reaping nothing from its fruition. Since his emancipation, he has still enriched the coffers of the South by his serfdom in the production of the same commodity receiving a mere pittance for his services, and at same time slowly but surely relinquishing the freedom and liberty by the 14th and 15th amendment. The Negro is and has been lost poorly paid subject in the labor world, especially in the South. averaging 75 cents per day for 12 hours work and receiving said value in food and raiment such as it was. Failing to get a substantial foothold in the South's cotton fields, failing to agitate amongst his fellows the injustice of it all; failing to grasp the economic situation of his capital-atic captains, he remains for all beneficial purposes to himself useless and indespensable to the South and her cotton magnates. Where do we go from here? A new day is dawning, we see the horizon of new things. The Negro is in demand in other avenues of labor. A vacuum has been created in the labor system by the exodus of the laborers. Over 2,000,000 have returned to their native lands since the signing of the armistice. The modern Macedonian cry from bleeding Europe has been "Come over help us. And her sons in America heard the cry and left the Columshores to weave back the torn fabric of their mother land, and still go every day. The vacuum in the labor system each day expands. anger is the emigrant seen standing at the barred gate at Ellis Island Instead he is seen with the same pack on his back leaving the loboken. Farewell, the Negro must fill his shoes. Why? Be American white sees not dignity in real labor and would rather urge to do it" and George must. Situation with the intensifying of racial friction and poor payouth has led to the famous "Negro Hegira" or the immigration the Southern Negro. He is here to stay. There is plenty of him to do.

The answer is pending. $ $ $ A Bad Precedent There is a disgruntled element of Chicago citizens fearing Negro domination and Negro advancement, who have come out again with the plaintive cry that the Negro must not invade their exclusive residential sections. It is alledged that Messrs. L. M. Smith, Fox, et cetera, have been gloating inwardly over the volcanic eruptions from "Mount South Side" and they feel that they have accomplished a victory. Still let them be assured that no geographical lines, real or imaginary, will isolate and insulate Kenwood, Hyde Park or any other place that a citizen of the United States may desire to live in. AS LONG AS THEY ALLOW RACIAL HATRED AND RACIAL CONSCIOUSNESS TO DOMINATE THEIR ORGANIZATION, JUST SO LONG WILL THEY FOMENT TROUBLE. WE ARE OF THOSE THAT MR. FOX REFERS TO AS HARANGUING OVER SENTIMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGES AND RIGHTS. We have witnessed the "drama of the Bombs." We will prophesy that certain leading actors may play the last act behind closed doors and within prison cells. Remember that our laws are not dead. The Constitution is not sentimental. We have legal talent camping on the trails of those who threaten, intimidate and even bomb our citizens. It is not necessary for us to defend our position. We will probably inform the non-thinking public, however, that we plan no wholesale invasion on exclusive residential sections. WE DO NOT APPROVE OF UN DESIRABLE CONTAMINATING CULTURED AND REFINED NEIGHBOR Best Editorial of the Week When order has been restored at the national capital an investigation should be set on foot to discover the real meaning of the race riots. There is something about the general statement, "assaults on white women," that is not as convincing as it used to be. The question must be what white woman and under what circumstances? Everybody knows who have been watching the situation that anti-Negro prejudice has been powerfully stimulated by the part the Negro bad in the war. It has been said he would become cocky and confident of himself. Nobody can know the bitter prejudices against Negro officers in the army until he gets beneath the surface. The French people treated the Negro troops without discrimination. All of these things have contributed to get the rowdy element of the white population ready for trouble. Moreover, this is a time of unrest and the riotous spirit is uppermost. This race question has got to be dealt with intelligently and courageously. Where the Negro is guilty of crime he should be punished out of hand. He knows he invites a severer penalty than anybody else would for anything approaching an insult to women of other races. But under cover of a general charge of crime the American people cannot afford to tolerate mob violence against Negroes unless they wish some day to reap a bitter retribution. Nothing is surer than that the worm will turn. The Negro has been willing to do everything asked of him. He works, he is patient, his loyalty has never been questioned. But he will not forever submit to kicks and cuffs as his chief reward. These riots have occurred at the seat of the national government. Surely in territory under the direct control of congress an investigation can be set on foot that will determine the facts. Why not know precisely what started this race riot?—Des Moines Tribune.

If we can produce refined, cultured individuals who have the purchasing power to secure homes in exclusive districts, the fair minded American citizens should give them respect in deference to their qualifications. THE BAD PRECEDENT that has been set is the cowardly exodus that certain colored individuals have made from their homes recently. They said they were nervous! "They were physically run down!" and that they could not dodge the inevitable sword of Damocles that hung over their heads. THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THE FEARFUL MORALE THAT THEY WILL CREATE. They have put so great a premium on their own personal security, that they have failed to balance the interests involved. They have made their problems individual. They have created a bad, far-reaching precedent that we must overrule. Now is the time to defend homes, and stand militantly for rights. There must be no steps taken backward. We cannot be slaves again and the failure to live where we wish all things being equal, is a step backward, a stride towards technical bond age. REMAIN STEADFAST AND BE OF FIRM COURAGE.

Lewis Dr. Lewis will be glad to answer medical questions that are sent to him, provided stamped and self-addressed envelop are furnished. Such questions and their answers, if of general interest and if space permits, will be published in this column, unless otherwise requested. THE REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD DOCTOR Even the laymen can appreciate that within his own short life time the medical profession has made wonderful progress. The metamorphosis of the old time doctor who took a short course of lectures and studied for a year or two with an already established doctor, into the modern physician who spends six to eight years in a medical school, one to two years in an up-to-date hospital as an interne, and in addition, a period of apprenticeship with a reputable specialist, has taken place in the course of twenty-five years. Compare the equipment of the old-timer, which consisted of a pair of saddle bags filled with pills, to that of the present physician with an armamentarium of expensive and complicated instruments, by which he can fathom the deepest interior of your body and diagnose conditions which were formerly mysterious to everybody. For a complete realization of the advantages of modern medicine the layman must have some idea of what to expect of his doctor. The conditions of medical practice are such that it is the easiest thing in the world for a physician to conceal inefficiency and ignorance. When a lawyer argues a case his ability is exposed to the whole court. When a minister presents a sermon its value is judged by the entire congregation. But the doctor is confined with his patient within the four walls of his office where it is possible by judicious camouflaging to get away with all sorts of incompetency. This is the reason why we find the paradox that the poorest prepared doctors among us are sometimes the most successful. Their popularity is due for the most part to attractive personality, an attribute which, however, important in the makeup of a doctor, should not overshadow scientific ability. It is true that results are the best criterion of the value of a doctor, provided that we know what good results are. From the layman's standpoint, the results of a certain medical treatment may be perfect, but to the expert there may be earmarks of gross neglect, the effects of which may be realized Charlie Van's Joy Ride Over During the recent turbulent state through which the city passed many employees whose places of work were located in the loop and outlying districts were afraid to venture to their work.

Johnson Tells Facts (Continued from Page 1) States, exclusive of those killed at East St. Louis, and out of this number rape was assigned as the cause in only 28 cases. Contrast these records, bad as they may appear, with the records for New York County, which is only a part of New York City, and we find that in this one county, in the single year of 1917, 230 persons were indicted for rape by the grand jury. Of this number 37 were indicted for rape in the first degree. That is, in just a part of New York City, the number of persons indicted for rape in the first degree was nine more than the total number of Negroes lynched on the charge of rape in the entire United States during the period 1914-1918. Among these 37 persons indicted by the New York County grand jury there was not a single Negro. The evidence required by the grand jury of New York County to indict a person charged with rape must be more conclusive than the evidence required by a mob to lynch a Negro accused of rape. When the Congressional Committee on Immigration in 1911 made its study of crime in the United States, an investigation was made of 2,262 cases in the New York Court of General Sessions and in that investigation it was found that the percentage for the crime of rape was lower for the Negro than for either the foreign born or native born whites. The actual figures were, for foreign born whites, 1.8; for native born whites, 0.8; and for Negroes, 0.5. I repeat that there is a direct plan of propaganda on the part of the South to brand the Negro with being a rapist in order that he may be robbed of all sympathy and public interest when he is lynched and mobbed. The truth is, the Negro is not more addicted, and is perhaps less addicted, to rape than any other group in the country.
