Jam and killed Sheriff Greer of Columbia County, Little Rock, Nov. 11.—About noon today the state of Arkansas committed one of the most shameful acts since that state came into the Union, cries were heard, bells rang and the city itself was in full holiday attire. The little children hooted the victim as he passed by, at the mercy of the mob. Preachers, Doctors, Lawyers and gray haired grandmothers pushed along crying "Lynch Him" which lent fuel to the scene of national degradation. It was an awful day! Within a few minutes the little town of Magnolia was smelling of human flesh. Never before have I witnessed such a spectacle in my life and hope never again. The victim was Jordan Jameson, a man looked to be about 45 years of age (an old man) was the most interesting party, more popular than our national slogan "the world must be made a decent place to live in". Jameson was said to have shot and killed Sheriff Greer of Columbia County, Ark. Thousands surround public square. Many people from miles around found their way to public square and helped to add fuel to the fire, when the flames leaped above the victims head I heard the cry which almost drove me insane, it was the cry of agony, the cry of pain, a sinister cry and the more the victim pleaded more coals were added to the fire. It was hell on earth. Standing close by was the family of Jameson's and as I looked at his feeble old mother, O, my God, how could they have committed such an act. And a mother's love, no doubt she would have rather taken the place herself. 500,000 Trust Company to be Launched by Colored Men.

Then the day closed. The stars shone over head. The brute mob violence had the whole of Arkansas within his grip, men were blood thirsty and would have taken but a paty offense on the part of another race member to react the tragedy of Armistice Day. Least we forget it was Armistice day, the day the nation looked to the East, when we should have looked to the south, it was the day 48 states celebrated the signing of that great document and this was the best Arkansas could do. We must look the second time before we can call the German the barbarian the rest of the world says he is. And the next Armistice day let us hope that we may look to the North, South, East and West and find America a safe place for law and order as well as lawlessness. Strikers Are Outraged. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 7.—"The striking-steel workers during the past four weeks, by their forbearance and patience, prove themselves to be one of the highest intelligence," says the Amalgamated Journal, official magazine of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers which declares that the strikers have had to endure all manner of persecutions. "It is true that all the outrages were done under the name of law and order, or with those who were clothed with some kind of autoelectric authority. The corporation bull, the county deputy, and the state constabulary are clothed with police power. The mayor, the sheriff and the governor are vested with executive authority. The police magistrates and court judges examine and pass sentences. All these functionaries, with a few rare exceptions are doing everything in their power to co-operate with the corporate forces that are arrayed against the strikers and most of them are doing it so openly that the most disinterested citizen cannot fail to perceive it." --- Vol. 1.—No. 21.

(Special to the Whip.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 12.—Fresh from New York City, where he spent a week or ten days in conference with Capitalists who control millions, Homan E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., stopped over in Washington this week en route South, and announced the formal launching of a campaign to put over a financial venture of tremendous importance to the colored people, to be known as the Citizens' Trust Company. This is the only financial corporation to be controlled by colored people favorably passed upon by the Capital Issues Committee of the U. S. Treasury Department at Washington, D. C. The new financial institution is to be under national and state supervision. The institution is to have a capital of 250,000, and a surplus of an equal amount. — 250,000. Aside from a regular bankin and trust business, special emphasis will be given to assisting colored people in purchasing and building homes, and in securing farm properties on long time payments and at low rates of interest. The development of celced business concerns and industrial corporations will receive special attention. The new concern will be national in scope, with branch offices in many important centers. Mr. Perry explained his plans in full detail to the officers of one of the largest trust companies in New York and is to be guided in the formation and operation of the Citizens' Trust Company by these trained experts. He has been assured substantial encouragement in the carrying out of his plans. The Washington Post.

THE CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY Breaking about Even CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 Man Lynched in Bibb County. (Special to the Whip.) Nov. 8 another example of American culture was brought home forcibly to local Colored residents. The incident is so painfully similar to hundreds of previous cases that we hesitate to describe the affair. Briefly, Paul Jones, Colored, having been accused of attacking a white woman, is summarily locked up by the sheriff's deputies in a flimsy shanty. This in Bibb County, already famed for its humanitarian spirit and its love for Colored race. Shortly after the usual mob is formed, some one hundred strong, and following the accepted procedure in such cases, makes a show of violence to the deputies. These worthies quietly sneak away, the shack is broken into — that is, the door is pushed down and locked, led away in triumph. He is dragged some five miles out of town to the B. T. Adams cotton mill, where, under a convenient tree, his body is strung up and riddled with bullets. After this thoroughly American treatment his body is cut down and laid across the Central of Georgia Railroad tracks, ostensibly to be finished by some kind hearted southern engineer. The woman, who refused to give her name, told Sheriff Hicks that the colored man attacked her while she was passing through the red light district of the town. She stated that before breaking away she covered the Negro with blood. No trace of blood was found on Jones by the sheriff. False Rumor Cause Temporary Run on Hunter Bank. False Rumor Cause Temporary Run on Hunter Bank. R. W. Woodfolk comes to rescue. 28 depositors satisfied. Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. R. W. Woodfolk & Co., Banker, is being commended for his courage and race pride in saving from bankruptcy the Banking Firm of R. W. Hunter & Co. Mr. Hunter, thrusome disagreement with his partners had legal troubles. As a natural consequence his depositors, fearing his bank to be in an unstable condition and their money in danger of being lost, on November 6 began a run on his banks. Mr. Hunter was in a quandary. He realized that no bank, no matter how strong, could stand a sudden demand for all of its deposits. The core of the banking business lies in its placing its deposits in the hands of reputable creditors. In this case, Mr. Hunter frantically called up Mr. Woodfolk. His banks were crowded with depositors angrily demanding their money. The sidewalks swarmed with the honest folk who had placed their meager savings with Mr. Hunter, savings in preparation for the inevitable rainy day. Mr. Woodfolk, intrepid banker and thorough race man that he is, fills his suitcase with his personal savings and drives pellmell to the 30th St. Bank. 10,000 In His Suitcase. When Mr. Woodfolk jumped from Black Star Ship Sails. Marcus Garney Happy. Marcus Garvey, President General of the National Negro Improvement Association, in a stirring letter to the Negro World (New York) describes the launching of the steamship Frederick Douglas, the first boat to be put into active service by the newly formed Black Star Line. Mr. Garvey is highly enthusiastic over the prospects by a regular schedule between New York, Liberia and Sierra Leone, West Africa, Speaking at the Odd Fellow Hall, Thursday night, he announced that a second ship will be launched on the first of January, 1920, to be named the Phyllis Wheatley, and that within a year fifty ships would be flying the Black Star Line's flag. It is rumored that Mr. Garvey contemplates using the Defender for liberty. Dangerous Germs. "You claim there are microbes in kisses?" she asked the young doctor. "There are," he said.

Forcing his way through the mob, he entered the ante-room, where he was greeted by the distracted Mr. Hunter. Quickly the two of them entered the cashier's cage. "How Much." queried Mr. Hunter. "Enough I think for both places," said Mr. Woodfolk breathlessly. Pays Off In Person. Mr. Woodfolk lost no time. With dexterity he opened his suitcase and stuck after stack of bright ten-dollar bills were piled upon the counter. As Mr. Abbott of the Defender and the reporter of the Chicago Whip stood by, the doors were thrown open and in surged the mob. With the suvival of a born financier, Mr. Woodfolk laid them off; three hundred to this one and fifty to the next. With astonishing rapidity over twenty-five people received their money in this way, re-deposited it when they were sure that no failure was possible. Change of Attitude. Now Mr. Woodfolk had counted upon staving off the run by the mere appearance of the money. He knew that once the depositors had been assured of the ability of the bank to meet their demands they paradoxically would suddenly find no reason for making those demands. So it happened here. Gradually, as one person after another went smilingly out of the foyer, waving aloft their rescued savings, the attitude of the crowd changed. From a surging, frightened mass of humanity with looks of anxiety painfully expressed, it suddenly took on the aspect of a holiday gathering. Smiles and sighs of assurance took place of the previous threat of violence. In something like a half hour the crowd dispersed. Mr. Woodfolk Has Nothing To Say. The reporter drove down to 47th street with Mr. Woodfolk, where the same conditions were met with and where the same result ensued. An hour later, when asked for a statement Mr. Woodfolk refused to comment upon his action. "Merely a duty one colored banker owes to another," was all he would say.

This lady of notorious flavor occupies the second apartment, and it is said that the unrestricted vice is conducted through her stern and experienced leadership. This house is patronized entirely by white people, and in close proximity are several other houses of illicitate. Many colored men purchased homes in the immediate vicinity. Rabbi H.

Intimation that Oklahoma City police threatened her life unless she confessed that C. L. Tillery, her lower charged with the murder of J. M. Williams, street ear conductor, was the man who did the shooting, were made on the witness stand this morning by Luella Estes, col. woman. The statement was contained in her testimony during the preliminary hearing of Tillery, who was secretly snuggle into Oklahoma City from the state penitentiary at McAlester three days ago. He has since been hidden in the county jail. He was harried from his cell in the jail at 9:30 o'clock this morning, under heavy guard, and taken to the district courtroom, where the hearing was started before A. T. Earley, justice of the peace. Nearly all the doors of the courtroom were locked, and every precaution was taken to prevent a disturbance. A large crowd heard the evidence, which had not been finished at noon. The hearing will continue this afternoon. Failure of three eye-witnesses to the shooting to identify Tillery as the murderer of Williams led those in the courtroom this afternoon to believe that Tillery will be freed. Powell Not Surprised. Mont Powell, assistant county attorney, was not surprised at the woman's intimations. Following the signed statement the woman made to Powell and a stenographer, after she had been interviewed by city police, she called Powell to the county jail and asked to talk to him. She was in tears, Powell said. He asked her the cause of her agitation, and she replied. "I don't want to send an innocent man to the chair — I made the statement because the police cursed me and told me I would be murdered it Don't Read the "Whip" If You Are a "Half Man" PRICE FIVE CENTS CHING CEBRATION ce Threaten Womans Her Testify Against art in Killing. Come to Rescue. I did not tell the story I did in there a while ago." She had said in the original statement that Tillry made a full confession to her of his guilt and had said he would die for her because he loved her. Asked for Truth. In the statement she said she had asked him repeatedly a few days after the killing who did the shooting. "Then one night I pulled my chair over close to his when he came to see you know who killed the conductor?' "He said, 'I don't know.'" "I asked him again slowly—do you know who did the shooting?' "He said, 'I love you—I'd live for you—I'd die for you—I killed the conductor.'" On the witness stand this morning she admitted having said that in the statement, but said it was all a lie. "They called me a damned liar and threatened me," she said. She said she "made up" the whole story when she said Tilhry did the shooting. Woman's Denial She said what really happened was that Tillry told her he loved her and said if he knew who did the shooting he would tell her. She was making a cake at the time the conversation occurred, she testified. When Luella took the stand she was chewing gum. Her first words were indistinct and County Attorney Ronbert Burps asked her to "park her gum somewhere." Tillry was defended by a whole array of negro lawyers. Five were grouped around him. He consulted with them frequently. J. L. Kramer, the motorman on the car with Williams was the first witness. After having Tillry stand in about he position the man who did the shooting was in when he saw him, Kramer said: "He looks like the man." He said the man who did the shooting wore a khaki shirt, blue coat and dark trousers and a brown soft hat. A man who had previously had difficulty with the conductor over a transfer wore a striped light shirt, he said. A man named Wiley, who was on the car at the time of the shooting, testified that the man he saw wore a green or brown soft hat, a light-colored striped shirt and a vest. "I couldn't say positively if Tilly is that man," he said after looking Tilly in the eye. On cross examination, Wiley said the man he saw was in shirt sleeves and wore a vest. Mrs. Mary L. Eby, 738 East Seventh street, said she was not positive about Tilly being the man who did the shooting. MAN BEATEN IN 38th ST.

The testimonial tendered Harrison H. Ferrel, Jr., violinist and lead by the Chicago Music Association was a wonderful demonstration of what Chicago thinks of talent. Too much credit cannot be given to those artists who made this occasion one long to be remembered — also to the audience that turned out en masse and made it a success financially. Mrs. Bland, sister to Dr. Lewis, of 2037 Walnut Street has been enjoying her visit to her brother and sister. The Memorial given the late Dr. M. C. B.

Respectfully submitted by — (signed) G. W. Downing. Delegate from Butcher Workmen. Local 651—Chicago. My idea for offering this resolution is that some International Unions still have the 19th century idea embodied in their constitution, discriminating against people on account of their colo. This being the period of reconstruction, the colored man is in the industrial field to stay. We are not asking for charity, for I would not give two cents for any man in my race who would go about expecting some one to fight his battle. We Americans of the dark race are merely asking for a chance to earn our living along the same lines that are conducive of other races. Therefore, I think it is time now for the several International Unions and Locals that have the 14th century idea regarding qualifications for membership in the Organizations to alter them to conform so that the 20th century progress. Let every man and woman who works with their hands and brains, become affiliated with the bombside labor movement, and we assure you that we will make good American industrial workers in the labor movement, as we were good soldiers and workers in the World's great War. I want to say to the delegates present: they should make an honest effort to help organize the colored men and women in the various crafts, because salvation, as well as the security of organized labor rests solely in the amount of consideration shown the unorganized colored workers at this time. I also want to say to the various locals and Internationals that if they do not organize the colored workmen and let them be protected by their organizations, they cannot be successful in fighting Judge Gary and his interests unless they make an attempt to take some of his tools out of his hands. After Downing finished speaking, Brother Franklin of the Machinists' Union, Chicago took the floor and criticized the Internationals unsparingly. After Brother Franklin had finished, twenty-five other delegates spoke in favor of the resolution. President Duncan McDonald left the chair and spoke in favor of the resolution. The resolution was adopted by unanimous vote. HAZEL HARRISON WITH THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA OF BERLIN. The following is an extract taken from a leading Berlin paper at the time Hazel Harrison, the only colored American artist that ever played with this world renowned Orchestra, was the concert artist. "Saturday Evening a youthful pianist Hazel Harrison was heard in the Singakademie, with the Philharmonic Orchestra under Aug. Scharer. The artist showed great talent and an excellent technic. Quite especially beautiful and soft is her piano. She played Chopin's E Minor and Grieg's A Minor concertos. Her playing shows so much musical intelligence that we are justified in expecting much from her future development."

JIM VANCE. Iowa Springs Real Puzzle in Defeating Northwesters It remained for Iowa to present a play which appears to upset all the traditions of football. The general accepted theory in football is that the ball should be kept in play as near the line of scrimmage as possible so that the side carrying it will not have to waste time getting back to the line of scrimmage. A. Devine, a chunky, speedy quarter-back, showed the North Shore folks the queerest play of the season. He used it so often that folks were astonished. Even on first down he would drop as if for a punt. He would go twice as far behind the line as the kicker ordinarily does; the ball would be snapped and Devine would charge up the field full tilt. He would have to run fifteen yards before he reached the line of scrimmage, but by that time he was under full steam and would dodge here and there with great agility, often eluding Purple tacklers for gains of from ten to fifteen yards. The play was so unprecedent that the Purple defense men seemed dazed by its audacity. Iowa had a queer system, anyway; powerful, beefy, it depended upon Slater, its giant colored tackler, and A. Devine. The other Devine and Parker, halfbacks, were more human props on which they draped A. Devine and his queer antics. Slater is the outstanding tackle of the season in these parts and is All-American material. Slater is powerfully built and has large feet and hands. Because of his large feet it is almost impossible to knock him over. He stands like a stone wall and uses his big hands like grappling hooks to grasp the opposing players to one side, and through these holes A. Devine follows him like a shadow and makes most of his gains. In the third quarter Slater broke through the Purple line and the ball was fumbled. Slater pursued the pigskin and picked it up with one hand (which gives some idea of their size) and gained 10 yards before he was downed by six of the Purple players. Iowa has played a consistent brand of football all season, and their game next Saturday with the University of Chicago at Stag field will be worth going miles to see. Lincoln Defeats Hampton 14 to 6 HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 8.—The Lincoln University football eleven defeated the Hampton Institute team on Saturday, Nov. 1, on the Hampton gridiron, by ascore of 14 to 6. During the first half of the game Lincoln scored two touchdowns, rushing through Hampton's line for long gains. The Lincoln backfield was heavy, showed great speed and carried good interference. Their line also played a strong defensive game, forcing Hampton to kick many times, being unable to gain her distance. In the second half Hampton stopped Lincoln's rushing and played most of the game in Lincoln's territory. In the third quarter Lincoln was taken off her feet when Hampton began the forward pass game, making several successful passes. It was in this department of the game that Lincoln showed up weak, otherwise the team was well balanced. The game was fairly clean, roughness occurring at times. Good spirit prevailed throughout. Referee, S. C. Wilkinson; ampire, H. G. Douglas; head linesman, W. A. Daniel. Time of quarters, $13\frac{1}{2}$ minutes. Score, Lincoln, 14; Hampton, 6. Colored Star Outpitches National Leaguers for the Second Time. Colored Star Outpitches National Leaguers for the Second Time. Dyckman Oval, New York City, Nov. 2.—Guy Empey's Treat 'Em Rough baseball team, composed of all big leaguers, were defeated for the second time in as many Sundays by the Lincoln Giants. Empey's team is composed of the following stars: Doyle, Frisch, Burns, Zimmerman, Teserau, Pol Perritt and Barnes of New York Giants; Kavanaaugh of St. Louis Browns; Haffle of Boston Nationals; Mays of New York Americans, and five other stars who played under assumed names. Jess Barnes, who pitched against the Lincolns, is one of the star pitchers of the National League. This game gives a fan a chance to get a line on our Colored stars and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that men like Joe Williams, Dick Redding, Wickwire, Donalson and G. Williams, as pitchers, have the necessary qualifications to make good in the major leagues, and that it behooves the powers that be to get busy and stop letting their prejudice get the better of their judgment and conduct the game as a real, and only as a real, red-blooded sport should be.

At the "classic" meetings held at Epsom, Goodwood and Ascott, practically all the aristocrats of the turf congregate. Entertaining takes place on a large scale, and the women vie with each other in displaying the latest fashions in dress. The highest amount paid for the winner of a race is that for the winner of the Derby, amounting to $32,000. There is more betting on horse racing than on any other sport. The English law is peculiar on that point. Betting on the race course is strictly legal, but the passing of betting slips in the streets is considered a serious offense. Yet one may legally place bets by calling up a bookmaker on any telephone or by sending the name of the horse fancied by telegram or thru the post. This anomaly, therefore, occurs: A betting slip, with a horse's name and an amount of money mentioned if handed to a bookmaker in the street is an offense punishable by imprisonment. Yet a telegram to the same bookmaker and containing the same wording, handed in at the post office, is a perfectly legal undertaking, and, incidentally, one which is largely followed. In the poorer districts, where there are thousands of "backers" who make bets varying from a dollar to 12 cents, the street bookmaker does a roaring trade, altho he is liable to arrest and his business has, perhaps, to be conducted very secretly, as plain-clothes police are always on the lookout for him.

"The year that has passed has only clouded the peace, prolonged the agony of the world, and far from giving any promise of a new and better chapter of humanity, only discloses a very doubtful and temporary truce." The greatest tragedy in the world has degenerated into a comedy of errors which would be ridiculous if it were not written in human blood.

HORSE RACING HAS EXPERIENCED A GREAT BOOM IN ENGLAND SINCE THE WAR. LONDON, Nov. 12.—Horse racing, like every other kind of sport here, has experienced a great boom since the war, and consequently the gambling habit has increased. Promoters of race meetings all over the countryn announce that record crowds have attended the fixtures, while the number of horses entered for the races are already up to pre-war proportions. Racing is carried on all the year round, and scarcely a day passes without a meeting of some kind being held in some part of the country. It is divided into two categories—flat racing, which commences in March and ends in November, and steeplechasing, which finishes out the year. randum issued by the war department in supporting the plea to congress for salary increases in the army.

White Sox (colored) vs. Hazards B. B. Club, (white). The L. A. White Sox has reorganized under the management of Mr. G. H. Carr. The White Sox have one of the strongest Clubs on the Pacific coast and also to carry away the homes. The Sox went up against a strong White Club known as the Hazard (Stars) and won the game 6 to 0. The sensation of the game was the pitching of Wood's. His work was something any professional pitcher would be proud of. He struck out the first eleven men that faced him. Allowed only two men to reach first and one to second. It must be remembered that once Wood was the property of (the old master) Rube Foster and as his owner went bad he was sent back to the coast, but he sure has come back. All the Sox want is the support of the L. A. B. B. Fans and from the look of Sunday's crowd, they have got that; the attendance was 1500 and we must not forget that any club under the competent management of Mr. Carr is compelled to have success, as he knows the game from A to Z and is always in the game from start to finish. He plays the position of First Base like old man Worrion and is a veteran of the game. The Sox have a player by the name of Hawkins, formerly of the old 25th Inf. Another seasoned player who starred against the all star team when they played abroad. The White Sox will meet the Downy Cly, Sunday, at Downy Park and expect to repeat last Sunday's performance. Let us hope. Baker is still doing his stuff behind the bat. Mr. W. H. Johnson, prop. of the Ceres Pool and Billiard Parlor is over the White Sox. Most Wonderful Discovery of the Age.

Y., Nov.—The government has again given its stamp of approval to the work done by the Young Men's Christian Association during and since the close of the war. This last expression came several days ago when it gave notice of the transfer of the Y. M. C. A. war work Council from the various camps within the continental limits of the United States to buildings provided for such work by the government. Following this action, the War Work council of the Y. M. C. A. has requested its army of 1,300 secretaries, who have been conducting activities in 593 temporary Y. M. C. A. huts in camps, to continue as welfare workers under the direction of the War Department. The Y. M. C. A. will go a step further—it will transfer to the government charge 593 huts within the army camps with their complete equipment valued at about $4,500,000 for the continued use of officers and men. In his letter to Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Secretary of War Baker thanked the association for the splendid service it rendered during the war, and declared that he is desirous of the Y. M. C. A. continuing its welfare work and expanding it where ever possible. Wark Work Day at Detroit. Many noted speakers are scheduled to deliver addresses and make reports on the work at home and abroad, Saturday, November 22, at the international convention of the Y. M. C. A. to be in session at Detroit. The report of D. A. Davis, who has been, in charge of the American "Y" work in France for the past four years, will doubtless be of interest to the large number of delegates of our race. Mr. Davis is here from Paris to review the war work and post war work opportunities, which include work in Morocco and Algeria for the Colored African Colonies of the French Republic. Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels, will tell of the work done for the sailors, Commander C. B. Mayo, of the navy, who is in charge of the new morale section with which the Y. M. C. A. will co-operate, will give an account of his work and observations. Other speakers will be Colonel Jason S. Joy, of the Recreational and Educational Department, War Plans division of the General Staff at Washington which has taken over the welfare work of the Y. M. C. A. in the home camps. Much interest will be manifested in the address of Chairman William Slocane and Dr. Mott. Y. M. C. A. NEWS Y. M. C. A. NEWS All phases of the Y. M. C. A. program will receive increased emphasis in the coming month. The program of the Physical Section is very heavy and all of the classes are adding to their number. This is especially true of the business men's class, which has as its leaders such men as Dr G. Trapp, Mr. Harrison, Chicago's foremost barber, and Mr. George Smith, musician. 125 boys will give a demonstration in physical work at the Orchestra Hall, Wednesday night, November 19th, in connection with the Masque of Colored America which is under the direction of Prof J. A. Mundy. The first Basketball game of the season will be with Hull House. The next game will be at the Armory on Thanksgiving Day. Christmas night a quintet from Springfield, Ohio, will play their 1st game in Chicago with Wabash. The annual State Older Boys' Conference to be held at Aurora this year, will be largely attended. It is expected that a large delegation from our group will be in attendance. The Morris Glee Club, which was organized among the Morris & Co. employees, and which has won a place for itself in the musical life of the community, under its director, Prof. J. A. Mundy, received the distinction of having its photograph on the front page of the magazine which represents the plant and is circulated through the states of the Southwest. The Thanksgiving program of the Y. M. C. A. will consist of an early morning hike for the young men and some of the girls of the Y. M. C. A. They will eat breakfast on the lake shore. There will a free home dinner for all members who are away from home. A musical program will be rendered by a number of girls. Rev. Miles M.

Troubles Here Laid to Hoodlums Younger Police Urged. Race segregation by agreement is one solution of Chicago's race problem that is advanced in the report of the coroner's jury which investigated the race riots, made public yesterday. Quick punishment of the guilty, regardless of color, also is urged as a remedy. The report, which Coroner Hoffman will present to the county board with the request that it be printed and distributed throughout the city is based on testimony by 450 witnesses, which resulted in twenty men being held to the grand jury on charges of murder and manslaughter. Accompanying is a sworn statement by the coroner, which fixes the number of race riot deaths at thirty-eight—fifteen white and twenty-three colored persons. The coroner states this is done to set at rest rumors and reports of a much larger toll. Isolation as Unrest Cure. Concerning race segregation, the report says: "If the movement of the colored people to white neighborhoods was an invasion it was a necessary invasion, because of the deplorable living conditions. The correction of the evil by enlarging living quarters and placing them in better sanitary state would in part solve the 'difficulty. We believe voluntary segregation would follow and to a considerable extent remove one cause of unrest. This is a matter that might be considered by the real estate board; by improvement clubs and organizations of property owners on the south side, and by the health department." In a separate signed statement the Rev. J. P. Brushingham, one of the jurors, personally champions segregation by agreement. "Let the leaders of both people come together and for the general good agree to dwell apart," he urges.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 10.—Highway robberies, race riots and murders "seem to be increasing in spite of prohibition," said Dr. Henry Van Dyke, former American minister to the Netherlands, in an address here tonight before the World's Christian Citizenship Conference. "The world may be more sober," he said, "but it certainly is not more sure. On the contrary, it seems as if the pressure of the human passion and impulse has become more intense while the restraint of reason and conscience has relaxed. What else could you expect from a world which does not go to church and whose chief intellectual influence is the moving picture show?" MAN SAYS JURY BIASED. CON VICTED OF ASSAULT.

Washington, Nov. 10.—President Wilson, General Pershing, and Secretary Baker today issued statements to the American people on the occasion of the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. The President said to Americans the reflections of armistice day would be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of "the thing from which it has freed us, and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations." The exercise by the American people of practical patriotism during the war, General Pershing said, was an avowal of their firm adherence to the principles of free government that will continue to have great influence upon the country at all times." --- THE CHICAGO WHIP 5 This ad is good for 25c on Perfecto Oil Heater The Fable of the Two Mules. Once upon a time, on a hot summer's day two mules found themselves penned in a pasture which contained only a meager supply of water; and that very warm and brackish. One of the mules, being something of a philosopher, could force himself to drink said water but the other mule voiced his protest loud and long. He cried that he wished he was down in the village square where he could refresh himself at the trough, which contained water both cool and clear. His ravings finally exhausted the patience of mule No. 1 and the following ensued: First mule: "You know the way to town, don't you?" Second mule: "Yes." First mule: "You can still jump a fence?" Second mule: Yes. First mule: "And you won't be satisfied unless you can drink at the trough down in the village?" Second mule: "No." First mule: "Well, for the love of Mike, why don't you jump over this fence, go down to the village and get a dring of water for yourself?" Second mule: "I can't; there's nobody to ride me!" MORAL: If you must have a rider, don't kiek. By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer NEWS TEAMS Real estate sharks have profiteered on prejudice to such extent that they have encouraged the organization of the Hyde Park and Kenwood Protective Association in an attempt to cover up some of their activities and shift the responsibilities in such a way that it will appear the result of indignant property owners. Judge Gary of the steel corporation and his colleagues should be the first to apply for a thorough course in Americanization. Then, perhaps they can find sufficient reasons for paying living wages to the employees in this great industry in their contentions for the right to live. John R. Clynes, labor member of the House of Parliament in England, offered an amendment to the government financial resolution, and if it carried by the support of the labor party, includes confiscation of all profits and wealth obtained during the war. The same remedy could be applied to some of our multi-million aires in America. The I. & R., as well as the Gateway amendment, have been legislative measures, sponsored by the American Federation of Labor for the last twenty-five years, and it seems to most labor men, rather far fetched at this time that members of the major parties, " the Republicans and Democrats," that they should be so anxious to put them into effect now. They are probably using these bills as a chip to hide their real intentions. Labor must be well represented at the coming constitutional convention or perhaps these instruments of big business who are clamoring so much for the right to represent the sentiment of the whole people of the state of Illinois in the Constitutional Convention will write a constitutional that will destroy every vestige of justice so far as the working people are concerned. While some are advocating prison sentences for agitators and foreigners, why not be consistent and send some of the proifteers to jail or the asylum, and in doing this, it would be a great stride toward allaying the feeling of unrest that is so predominent at this time. Sleeping Car Porters, Dining Car Employees, Local 268, have submitted new wage demands and working conditions to the railroad administration through their International Office and the railway employees of the American Federation of Labor and should receive a substantial increase in the final analysis of the same. Resolutions Adopted at a Rousing Mass Meeting held at the Chicago Iron Workers Forum, 22 East 31st Street, Friday Evening, November 7th, by voters of the Second Ward indorsing the candidacy of Mr. Charles B. Travis for Ward Committeeman. WHEREAS, the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois and the County at large on last Tuesday repudiated ring politics by the overwhelming adoption of the initiative and referendum, meaning the election direct, of any candidate who is the voice of the people, over and above any dictation by political bosses or machine made candidates. AND WHEREAS we as citizens and voters in the Second Ward of the City of Chicago see in Mr. Charles B. Travis those qualities of citizenship of finest grade, business traits of sterling worth, patriotism of highest type all of which are supported by an unblemished christian record of public and private service in this City covering a period of sixteen years. AND WHEREAS it has come to our notice that certain of the old ring politicians have selected and determined to force Edward H. Wright upon the people for Ward Committeeman in brazen defiance of the people's vote on Tuesday, November 4th. WE the people here met do resolve; FIRST—to indorse with all possible emphasis the candidacy of Charles B. Travis for Ward Committeeman. IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that we begin tonight to secure a volunteer body of citizens who will work for Mr. Travis' election to the office in question.

"This situation can only be adjusted by reason and logic. The widely heralded intimation that force may be resorted to, will not serve to allay the crisis. "One year ago the bituminous coal miners asked the government for an increase in wages. Dr. H. A. Garfield, then United States fuel administrator, refused to grant such a request. Had proper consideration been given to the coal miners at that time the present emergency would not exist. At that time I told the United States fuel administration and other government officials that their unwise judgment would come back to haunt them. And it has." Colored People Object. Several lawyers and doctors who have feathered their nests in this community are calling the attention of the authorities to the immoral conditions that exist in their neighborhood, and drastic measures are to be adopted to rid the city of these flagrant resorts. It is said the hilarious and maudlin laughter pierces the quiet of the evening's peace and that a continuous train of taxis and private cars point the inevitable finger to these undesirable affairs. GOV. BILBO NOT TO RUN AGAINST VARDAMAN. Jackson, Miss., November 9.—Gov. ernor Theodore G. Bilbo upon his re- turn here from south Mississippi denied tonight the report that he had announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for United States senator against James K. Vardaman, former governor and senator. He said, however, he may run against Senator Pat Harrison. "Such a report was news to me", said the governor. "I never mentioned such a thing to anybody on earth. If I was a candidate for senator it certainly would not be against James K. Vardaman and if I should be a candidate against anybody it would probably be against Senator Harrison". PRUNE JUICE, CARAMEL AND HAIR TONIC APPEASE NEW YORK "BUM HOUNDS." New York, Nov. 10.—Since the prohibition law went into effect New York's insistent and enthusiastic drinkers have been consuming the "nonbeverage" alcohol which usually goes into hair tonic, cologne and patent medicine—at 30 or 40 cents a glass, according to Col. Dan. L. Porter, supervising internal revenue agent here. Prune juice and caramel have aided bartenders to cater to customers and whisky made "while you wait" from the hair tonic ingredient has been colored and served as "scotch," "rye" and other favorite brands. The "nonbeverage" alcohol was manufactured under the war time food control law and cost $240 a barrel. When the saloonkeeper obtained it, his next business operation was to buy a half dozen empty barrels and dilute it. Then, with his stock of prune juice and caramel at hand and his bartender ready, he HARVEY A. WATKINS, Out for Ward Committeeman For more than a month great pressure has been brought to bear urging Mr. Watkins to enter the race for Committeeman of the Second Ward, and after carefully considering every angle of the political situation and response to the strong demand made upon him, he has decided to make the race and has cast his hat into the ring. Mr. Watkins is no doubt the best qualified man to represent the Second Ward in the County Central Committee. Few men have had his experience in dealing with the masses. He has been very active in political, civic, fraternal and church affairs for many years. His genius and success as an organizer is well known throughout the State. He is a Mason of high standing, being a member of the Royal Arch Chapter, St. George Commandery, Western Consistory and Mystic Shrine. He is an Odd Fellow, Knight of Pythias, U. B. F., and Grand Lecturing Knight of the World of the Elks. He is Grand Treasurer of the Mosaic Templars of Illinois, member of the Y. M. C. A., Urban League, N. A. A. C. P. and on the Advisory Committee of the Y. W. C. A. He is Treasurer of the Trustee Board of Bethel Church, member of the Chicago Business Men's League and member of the Executive Committee of the Regular Second Ward Republican Club. For a number of years he has been actively engaged in the Real Estate Business, and today he has a large and successful business second to none on the South Side, with office located at 3510 Indiana Ave. He has incorporated the Real Security and Loan Association, with a capital of 50,000.00, under State Supervision, of which he is President, and has associated with him a number of prominent business and professional men in the community. He is also President of the Improvement and Protective Association, an organization with more than a thousand members. He is active in the establishment of a State Bank on the South Side and has subscribed for a large amount of stock. Mr. Watkins is a large property owner and taxpayer and has the community's interest at heart. With these many qualifications it can be readily seen that he will make an ideal committeeman for the Second Ward. He is very popular and well liked by all and has many friends among all factions. He will use the office to promote harmony between factions in local city and county politics, and he has pledged himself not to use the influence of the office to gain personal appointment or elective office and will do everything to advance the political interest of his constituents of the Second Ward. We take great pleasure in recommending Mr. Watkins to the voters of the Second Ward for the office of Ward Committeeman. CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

LABOR OF ARGENTINA REPU DIATES DELEGATE TO WORLD CONFERENCE. Buenos Aires, November. —The Argentine labor federation has issued a declaration repudiating as the representative of Argentine workmen Americo J. Dalino, who was named by the government as the Argentine labor delegate to the international labor conference at Washington. The declaration asserts that the government in choosing a delegate did not consult the federation, which is the central organization of workers of the country, and that it failed to act in this respect in accordance with the league of nations convention. It also asserts that Alejandre Joseph Hayes, described as "technical adviser" of the Argentine delegation is a member of the railroad strike-breakers' organization, and adds that because of those circumstances it is HARVEY A.

My Dear Sir:— I am compelled at this time to write you with reference to your paper. I wish to say that I have read, with increasing admiration, every editorial comment that has been printed in the columns of the Chicago Whip since its first issue, and I find that in each one dealing with various subjects of interest to the colored races, it is hard to determine just which one is best. It seems that the thought as well the construction has surpassed anything yet undertaken by Negro editors in the United States. Your comparisons, deductions and general descriptions pertaining to any subject are so unique, and yet so original that the underlying thought embodied in each article can be fairly understood and appreciated by a child. Yet, they are brilliantly studded with gems of truth that seem to sparkle in such a way that they cast a volume of light on some of the most complicated conditions that the Negro of today is confronted with. I could not do credit to the actual worth of your paper to humanity if I attended in the allotted space to describe its merits; consequently, I feel that in order to summarize the whole thing without attempting to compare the Chicago Whip with any known Negro publication in the world, I can conclude by saying that the Chicago Whip with its present editorial staff is the Acme of perfection in Negro journalism. May the honest endeavor that you and your associates are making in behalf of an oppressed and abused people ever stand in bold relief, and as evidence of highly developed mentality used to ameliorate many of the present evils that we are compelled to endure. Very truly yours, JOHN RILEY, A. F. of L. Organizer. SWISS OFFICERS BEING RECRUITED FOR JAPAN ARMY. Associated Press.) — "Japanese agents, with the consent and authori- zation of the Japanese minister of war, are attempting to recruit Swiss officers and sub-officers for the Japanese emperor's army," says the Neuf Zurich Zeitung. "High salaries are offered, passages are paid and also bounties. Enlistment must be for five years and the conditions provide that if Japan within this period enters into war the Swiss officers must serve in the army under superior Japanese officers, except against their native country". The newspaper declares that this alleged recruiting is in violation of the Swiss constitution. It adds that never have so many Japanese diplomats, officers and agents been seen in Switzerland as at present. Phone Drexel 2833 Hours: 10 to 12 a. m.; 2 to 4 p. m.; 7 to 9 p. m. DR. H. R.

The September number of the Vocational Summary, published monthly by the Federal Board for Vocational Education, has some interesting facts upon negroes as soldiers. There are 12,000,000 negroes in the United States. Since our entrance into the war 100,000 of them have been called to military service. In the first colored training camp at DesMoines 650 were commissioned as officers and proved themselves worthy of the positions they had earned. The United States government included these colored soldiers in the plans for war. They are now included in the plans for peace. The vocational rehabilitation net gives the means of reeducation and return to civil life to all of our wounded who could not continue in their old occupations. It gives a chance for training to those who need training. No lines are drawn here either in degree or color. Privates have an equal chance with officers, subject to the provisions specified in the law, and the colored man disabled in service has an equal right with the man of any other race to the opportunities for reeducation and employment according to his ability. However, equality of opportunity is a big phrase ful of meaning that not even the war could bring home to the understanding of the majority of us. It may take time and a little more strife and some hard thinking to bring it to pass, but it is on the way. At this moment, when negroes are being considered as a difficult "problem", few figures may start a new train of thought. We have been accustomed to thinking of negroes as belonging to the south. Of the 12,000,000 in the United States, 9,000,000 were at one time in the southern states, but migration to the north has been on the increase, especially in the past two years. Between 500,000 and 750,000 have come to the northern states to find better conditions and employment since the beginning of the war, which made new opportunities in industry. It is a significant fact that there was not one state of all the forty eight which did not furnish some colored troops for the war. In brief, the 12,000,000 are here, a part of the great population of workers awakening to the new era of democracy and brotherhood and all that goes with both, denouncing as the first fulfillment of the new order an equality of opportunity in education and employment that has never in its fullness been given to them as a race. Their demands are based in a large measure on actual accomplishment. They point to the fact that, even in the census record of 1910, negroes were engaged in every kind of occupation and profession. Architects, actors, doctors, electricians, engineers, tenesse, journalists, lawyers, clergymen are listed, as well as clerks and unskilled workers in all kinds of fields. In Philadelphia a recent survey of negro business was made. There were 450 found in occupations, varying from newspaper men to chiropractists, from landscaping gardeners to real estate dealers, from hotel keepers to employment agents. The negroes of this one city represented fifty-five different occupations and professions. In agriculture negroes cultivate two-thirds of the land of the south. They own or rent 41,000,000 acres of farm land and till 60,000,000 more acres. Seventy-three per cent of the necro population is still rural. These facts point to the need of taking a large point of view. What is called the "Negro Problem" is national and not local. It is not to be solved by the easy method of deporting to an other state. It can be approached rightly only by facing the facts and bodying at the needs of 12,000,000 people who are a part of the population of the United States. One of the leaders, among the negroes of Chicago recently made a public address advocating a positive policy to replace the usual negative policy. The negroes, he said, had been brought here in large numbers to meet the needs of industry at a critical time. They had been told where they could not live. They had not been told where they could live nor had any kind of provision been made for the decent housing of these imported laborers. Given decent housing, a chance to develop what abilities they possess employment at a living wage, and to this man, a student of his race, the nieces will be no more of "a problem" than the people of any other race. They will naturally seek their own as other races do. They will be human as others are. They will be a part of the problems of poverty and crime, of sickness, of juvenile delinquency and all the rest of it in a big city, but just as all other races are. These words are worth thought. Chicago might begin by a positive policy to better housing conditions. Read The Chicago Whip We do a legitimate, clean business and enjoy the confidence fo our leading physicians.

Washington, Nov. 7.—As the result of a preliminary meeting between A. F. of L., the railroad brotherhoods and farmers' representative, it was decided that the call for the conference determined upon by the executive council of the A. F. of L. should be jointly issued by the executive council and the railroad brotherhoods. The conference will be held in this city Saturday, December 13, and will consider legislation before congress and other social questions. A call has been issued to the various A. F. of L. national and international affiliates and railroad brotherhoods. "The representatives of the farmers organizations," said President Gompers, "although in entire sympathy with the discussion and purposes, stated that they had no authority from their organizations to join in the call for the conference, but that their conventions which would be held a month from now would be gud to receive invitation upon which to net, and select delegates for the Dec. 13 conference." Secretary-Treasurer, A. K. Foote Butcher Workman, 651, has placed himself solidly behind the Vinculum Co-operative Society and has outlined plans with which he hopes to be able to put the society store in operation in a very short time. Those who are interested should get busy, as they cannot afford to wait The joint campaign of organization among the railroad workers is going forward with leaps and bounds—the committee expects to have at least 95% of the various groups of railway wage earners safely enrolled in spite of the many dual organizations that are so much in evidence at this time; many of which will eventually fall by the wayside. Railroad Coach and Car Cleaners and Porters throughout the country have, through experience, realized the necessity of co-operation and are centralizing their efforts in the direction through which they can hope to secure redress for their grievances and sufficient compensations for service well rendered. This, we have found from bitter experience, as well as the denial of many of their rights as employees, and as a servant is worthy of his hire, the day has come when the one who is served must show a reasonable amount of consideration to those who render valuable service. John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, came out flat-footed in his report to the Chicago Federation of Labor, Sunday, November 2nd, and flayed the private detective agencies and their tools in such a way that probably Judg Gary himself would have been forced to admit that the methods employed by the various agencies that are attempting to destroy the organization of workers and deny them the right to bargain collectively in their own interest through their representatives will be a thing of the past. There will be an open Forum meeting held in the interest of the entire community, where various questions pertaining to race relation will be taken up and discussed. This meeting will be held at the Odd Fellow's Hall, Friday night, November 7th at 8:00 P. M. Every person who is interested in the future success of the race and the creating of greater opportunities should be present, and if possible, present an idea of though in connection with its great problem that confronts the Negro citizens throughout the United States. N. S. Wims and P. D. Campbell, Delegates to the Twentieth General Convention of H. & R. E. I. A. and B. I. L. of A., returned to the city and submitted a favorable report to Sleeping Car, Parlor Car Porters and Dining Car Waiters, Local 268, the organization they represented at this Convention The entire program was put over and they have the distinction of being the only delegates that met and conferred with the General Executive Board after the Convention adjourned, where they made their argument in behalf of Local 268 effective. The question of jurisdiction according to craft autonomy has been definitely settled and by combining the resources of these men, we may expect the most effective changes in working conditions. The latitude covered by this jurisdiction can be so arranged that it can be beneficial to everybody concerned by applying common sense and according to statements based on facts, it is known to all that a beef steak cooked in the kitchen of the diner is of the same kind of material as that served in any of the cat shops in the city and that the cook that prepares that steak for the dining car patrons could do the same job without being in a dining room on wheels or rather a kitchen on wheels. We might also admit that the waiter who serves a meal on a diner could perform the same duty at a restaurant and if pressed, it might be admitted that the man who prepares a sleeping car for use could possibly do the same act in a hotel. Since it appears that these workers belong to the Catering Industry Employees, they are working in hotels with wheels under and it would take a great big stretch of imagination to make them railroad men in the same sense that brake-men and switchmen and similar workers are considered. There is no opportunity for a brakeman in industry for there is no work of that kind in the usual acceptance of the term, except on trains; but is it different with catering workers. For instance, if all the railroads discontinued using diners and sleepers, these catering industry workers could find employment at their trade in other establishments and many of them do divide their time between the railroad and other places that are stationary. If these workers were denied the right to employment in hotels, cafes and restaurants because they were working on wheeled hotels, they would have just cause to come to the A. F. of L. and seek a remedy. For many of our coast towns they have excursion steamers, passenger steamers and some men who work one day on the steamers work the following day on land. These men are not scamers, by any means, because of the changed location of their lab, and that holds good with the Pullman car employees and dining car employees. Whenever there is a strike in trip of the hotels or restaurants, could you imagine the employer looking for strike-breakers in some of the round houses or switch shanties along the railroads? They generally go where they know that men who have a knowledge of this class of work hang out, and that is the places that are frequented by cooks, waiters and porters, because they can be more easier adjusted to the conditions than a brakeman or an able seaman sailing before the mast. When we appeal to the workers we do not specify whites, we say Workers, for we know only too well what the employer desires. He wants and is getting division, because of pitting black against white, and vice versa, and when we take into consideration the great financial benefits that the employing class have been able to receive from time to time because of these magnified differences, we sometimes wonder why workers can be so nearsighted and not see the faults as they really exist, which is the lack of co-operation among the workers of all nationalities. If these conditions are to be changed whereby the workers can secure redress for many of the grievances they are confronted with now, it must necessarily be brought about through the efforts they put forth IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. The consolidation of the hostile political factors has a ter- rible and sinister warning in its hidden message. The time is not ripe to give the people the facts. The Whip cannot be bought. No power under the Sun can force us to sell out our vace. We are making a fight for humanity free from political bait. We are fighting for the future of the colored American and even though the political leaders disregard the intelligent clean and honest type that typifies the New Negro. He is not to ke taken too easily. WE ARE POSITIVELY AND UNALTERABLY AGAINST SEGREGATION AND SEPARATE SCHOOLS. WE WILL STAND ON THIS PRINCIPLE UNTIL THE ROCKS FLY FROM THEIR FIRM BASIS. We trust the politicians are not stacking the deck against us, we trust honor, money and personal gain will not outweigh the interests of the whole race. The Whip hopes that this mes- sage will be regarded as a sober warning and an earnest ap- peal tu the colored citizens of Chicago to keep their eyes open. The future of our children and their opportunities are swing- ing in the balance. Segregation measures are in the air. Low- den’s forces are at work. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE! OPEN YOUR EYES. 5 Segregation by Agreement The report of the Coroner’s Jury during and covering the riot period is of peculiar significance. We fcel that is an irre- futable fact that the gentlemen who composed this body are, deserving of credit and commendation for the attempt to alle- viate future friction. In motive we believe they are pure, in introspection careless, in judgment poor, in Americanism doubt- ful. We say that the Coroner’s Grand Jury was pure in mo- tive in giving suggestions towards preventing future friction because the very fact that they have given suggestions proves that they are desirous of creating permanent amicable rela- tions between the citizens of Chicago. We say that they are careless in retrospcction and introspection because they have failed to make an intelligent investigation into the proximate causes of the great Chicago riot. The abstract fact of the drowning of a colored boy at the 26th Strect Dathing Beach and the attempted invasion of colored across 2m arbitrary and imaginative dead line which they say caused the riot was no more the cause of the Chicago riot than was John Brown's raid the cause of the Civil War. THE CAUSES OF THE RACE RIOTS WERE: The out- crys of Southern propaganda causing new racial consciousness and color prejudice. The competition of the Negro with the laboring whites in the economic world. The advent of the Negyo in the expectations of the Negro in a share of belated Democracy which was blazed before him on entering into the war. Friction was expected in Chicago on the 4th of July. The bombing institution had set the tecth on edge of the South Side denizens and open demonstrations of violence in Jackson and Washington Parks against Colored people had a most im- portant part in creating a culture medium for MOB psychology. Therefore we assert that the retrospection of the grand jury was careless. As to the question of Segregation by agreement. Thru careful analysis we find that segregation and Jim Crow laws infect the south. And that south is the crux of race prejudice and that segregation has done no good. It has caused separate distinctiveness to be emphasized and racial conscious- ness to be increased, in Alabama, Georgian and Texas where segregation stands, 33 lynchings have been staged in the last fve months. 50 per cent more than occurred in 1885 when Segregation and Jim Crows were not in vogue. We are compelled to live in America! We are compelled to Hive in Chicago because the exodus of foreign labor makes colored labor indispensable. To live as brothers in this Demo- cratic country is our desire. To make a more perfect union {s our desire. If economic opportunities are granted and educational facilities are granted the leaders of Negro masses will whip thera in line and eliminate the superficial marks of unfitness. Careful retrospection would prove this to our worthy jurymen. In judgment the jury fails, because, The Legislature has refused to appoint a commission to adopt seg- regation measures and they fail to satisfy both parties in ques- tion. Arbitrating is generally a proposition of mutuality and when there is no mutuality there is no fairness. The Negro pays his taxes, supports his government and spills his blood. ‘Then why placard him as an undesirable because of the wish of a few narrow minded selfish untutored agitators. THE CHICAGO WHIP | In Americanism we say the jury may be questioned because the ideal of Americanism is to obliterate the Hyphen. Seg- regation aggravates and intensifies the Hyphen and causes us to be colored Americans and not pure and simple Americans. It is ar cquitable principle that what you should not directly ycu cannot indirectly. Legislation by agreement’would be in abrogation of laws of our Government and is contrary to the spirit of our constitution. It ia.a short cut to avoid the law. It is therefore un-American. The enforcement of the law is the emphosized point of Coroner Hoffman. Why not be consis- teat tru and enforce the segregation laws as to the colored man and take the “Leper Sign” off his home. . * The Pipe Dream of Piece SPS. Ce: a ee eee en. vont a or (ee, Se ee ithe Belligerent Nations of the World. This Armistice was heralded as the forerunner of a perpetual and eternal peace. This Armistice was so worded that the teeth of the Twentieth Century Wolf would be drawn and its venomous effects elimi- nated, Germany was emasculated. The roar of cannon was ceascd. Victorious armies sat down and rested and the van- quished wound their weary way homeward to the Father Land. The eventful day of November 11, 1918 was dedicated and con- secrated to those who defended the ideals of a more perfect international union. A yeer has rolled around and the Scythe-like hands of time point back to November 11, 1918, Peace Day. We are appreciative of the peculiar significance of the occasion. We are thrilled when the whistles scream and electrified when banners are unfurled. We trace the flutterings of the Star Stripes floating over the accumulated genius of America. We chant the peans of the land of the free and the home of the brave. We breathe the air of the free country that typifies the ideals of Liberty of Justice and Democracy. And then, the emotional soul of the new Negro wanders back ‘o its dusky sanctuary. The music ceases. The flags are lowered and crowds disperse. The peace chirpers throats are silenced The black man, too, “homeward plods his weary way.” He and his thoughts. As he plods along the highways that have been cndeared to him and the sights are familiar. For this is his home, his native Land. The furrowed convolutions of the black Ameri- can’s brain becomes intensified. The wonderful inexplicable machinery of his thinking apparatus whirls with fearful mo- mentum, His brow knits into protruding characters. Tho’t waves blur his vision. His eyes become dimmed. His throat dyy. His nervous impulses strain the entire muscle and fiber of his anthropoid anatomy. The black man is thinking. Shakespeare has said, “What a piece ofywork is man.” Man is a wonderful ¢reature. The terrible dynamo of mind that creates tho’t is the force that shackles the mysteries of Nature and gives the man mastery over matter. When a man THINKS he typifies and characterizes the finished product of divine ingenuity. What a piece of work is the tho’tful Black Man. What a beautiful thing, to awake from a dream of the half man. What an inspiration to shake off the apathy and lethargy of imemorable years. After all is said and done. After the Armistice has been signed and the battle scarred black men have crossed the trackless depths of the briny deep, and the seasons rolled into another year and the “peace” is celebrated—The black man is again home and surveying in cold bleed the facts. He fails to sec the PEACE and tranquility for which he fought and bled. That is why he thinks and for that reason, he will con- tinue to think until the Inevitable Destroyer takes its toll. “Peace on Earh, Good Will to Men.” This clarion cry rings down from the pregnant climax of Graeco-Roman civili- zations to the present moment. “Make the world a decent place to live in,” follows into the wake of the present day. For these reasons the “Soul of Black Folk” cry out. Peace on Eerth is the desire of the Black Man. Good will to men he has already and willingly given. To make the world decent to live is one of the basic ingredients of the new psychology. Where is Peace Where is the good will? Where is the de- cent place? The absence of these vaunted ideals in the day te day existence of Twentieth Century institutions causes the pro- tracted train of thought in the black man’s brain and causes him to hang his head and to query if the quality of Mercy is strained? No peace breaks upon the American shores at this event- ful date. Peace may be celebrated but to the wise and obser- vant citizen it is “sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.” The disgrace of Democracy and the deepest dyed blot on the Amer- ican escutcheon is the prevalence of mob violence and lynching. When these evils are stricken off of the twentieth century calender, pcace day will truly represent the best and good achievements of a great nation. How can peace exist in reality when 63 human beings can be murdered in the first ten months of 1919? Of these victims 48 were American citizens, 13 returned soliders and 2 were Mexicans. Four great race riots have crimsoned the streets of Ameri- ca. Where is Peace? We are firmly convinced that civilization is on the upgrade, that the world desires Peace. We are halted by the shifting and vacillating opinions as to methods to be adopted to insure it. We are firmly convinced that any method that antagonizes constituted authority and the powers that be would be unwise, un-American and unwarranted. We are convinced that the future of American Peace de- pends on the Government. The law making bodies of this Ccuntry wth Congress as the Federal head hold the destiny of this great nation in the balance of their hands. When laws for the abolition of mob violence and lynching are placed on the sacred pages of our classic constitution and EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR ENFORCING IT ARE ADOPTED — then Peace will be guaranteed and the head of the black man will be raised to the height of those who have felt the ecstatic joy of Liberty and Freedom. Stabilizing Colored Business The Commercial prowess of Great Britain is directly at- tributable to facilities offered by her banks to her merchants in foreign countries. Federal Reserve Banks in the U. S. have stabilized bank- ing by an effective system of credit. State Banks have facili- tated industrial and commercial expansion locally by credit systems legally meeting state needs. Negroes in U. S. represent 2 wealth, actual and potential approximating several billion of dollars. Over $500,000,000 “black dollars were handled in savings accounts last year by white banks. Over 31 millions of these “black dollars” in Chicago make it possible for some 15 white banks to earn over $500,000 “white dollars” in a year and aid in the development of hundreds of new “white” business enterprises. Negro banks have been either under-financed or poorly managed or both. Of the 16 Negro Banks in the South in 1913, 4 remain today. State supervision offers many corrections to present meth- ods of operation of colored banks and state requirements pro- vide for capitalization assuring adequate profit to stock holders and for larger operation. Recent years have developed thru education and experi- enced, capable, efficient and responsible black business men and bankers. Black depositors have MORE to deposit and have devel- oped a sense of discrimination between frenzied black business men and bankers. Black dollars have more “sense.” Black business must have the use of more “black dollars.” The way is clear — a “black dollars” were handled in savings accounts last year by selected on a basis of experience, merit and integrity, and suffi- cient capital. Thus must be the answer to Hyde Park and Ken- woed Property Owners’ Association’s veiled hints; an answer o white banks in the Black Belt which refuse to make loans oa property holdings of Negroes; an answer to white business houses which do not employ Negro help but have large Negro patronage. We have the dollars, we have the men, we have the de- sire. Time has come to teach “black” dollars more sense Negro business must have proper support — Negro property owners must have protection the investment represents and “black” dollars ought to give it—-MUST GIVE IT. It is well-known that such a bank so urgently needed in Chicago is about to be organized. It must meet all require- ments. So let every Negro in Chicago prepare to support this business stabilizer and mass the strength of their “black” dol- lars to help make Negro business interests what they should be.
