State St., was attending to some business at the First National Bank of this city and as he was leaving the bank, he was accosted by two notorious confidence men and pick-pockets, William Holman and Wm. Drice, alias "Hoplong," who stated that they were just from Selma, Ala., and wanted some information concerning the whereabouts of a friend of theirs. While in conversation with him they succeeded in pockets of $40. Pettus captured them then and there and turned them over to a city detective. The rial was set for the following Thursday morning. On Wednesday night prior to the date for the trial, Patrolman Sidney A. Williams, of the Cottage Grove Police station, entered Petus' place and told him that he was under arrest for defrauding a woman of $200. Pettus requested that he be shown the warrant and was told that there was no warrant out he (the parolman) had orders to pick him up. He carried Pettus to the Police Station on the street car and told him to say nothing at the Station and that he (the parolman) would assure him that he would not be locked up. Pettus had a seat in the Station and the officer went in the rear and stalled around for a few minutes, came out and told Pettus that he could go provided that he would not appear at the Harrison Street Station the next morning as witness against Holman and Drice. The parolman said that it would be better to let the crooks go to hell with the $40, for the woman whom he had swindled would be there (Harrison Street Station) to prosecute him. Pettus went to court he next morning and saw Drice, Holman and Patrolman Williams communicating together. Drice and Holman were held to the Grand Jury and Patrolman Williams will go to trial in a few day before the City Civil Service Commission. Pres.

Captain Smith's conviction on the charge of "shamefully" retreating and running away from the enemy on September 28, 1918, when his regiment was ordered to advance near Vienne-le-Chateau, is disapproved and ordered set aside. 9 Colored Ex-Soldiers Lynched in 1919.

Anns testified Taylor and Hill, after engaging him to ride them in his taxicab from the Pennsylvania Station to West 132d street and Fifth avenue, jumped out of the machine and shoved two service revolvers against his stomach. "I was ordered to turn over all my money, and gave the two men $16, which constituted my rent, which was to go to my profiteering landlord. I can positively identify them," he said. The two men after the robbery ran south on Fifth avenue. Anns jumped into his taxi, blew a police whistle and gave chase. Soon several hundred persons joined in the pursuit and the fleeing pair were halted by Detective Coleman, of the West 135th street station.

The list follows: COLORED SOLDIERS LYNCHED DURING 1919 March 14—Castlebury, Fla.: Bud Johnson, burned to death. Said to have confessed to attack on white woman. April 9—Pickens, Miss.: ——, admitted he had hired a woman to write an insulting note to a white woman. May 21—Eldorado, Ark.: Frank Livingston, charged with killing his employer and the latter's wife: burned to death. July 15—Louise, Miss.: Robert Truett, lynched for having made indecent proposals to a white woman. Hanged. Aug. — Fayette Co., Ga.: Charles Kelly shot to death by white man because he did not turn out of the road soon enough. Aug. 14—Pope City, Ga.: Jim Grant, alleged to have shot a white man and his son. Hanged. Sept. 29—Montgomery, Ala.: Robert Croskey, charged with having Armory For Colored 15th Regiment Is Very Remote. One Thing for Aldermen-Elect to Work On—Mayor Hylan and Board of Estimate Seemingly Have Forgotten Their Promise to Cal. Hayward's Hell Fighters. The much heralded plan of the city administration to build an armory for the Fifteenth Infantry, the colored regiment that come back from overseas to find whatever satisfaction there may be in a "leased" armory awaiting them is now peacefully slumbering in the office of Mayor Hylan, it is believed. Though the Armory Board last May voted unanimously to make provisions for such an armory and Brigadier Generay Dyer approved of the plan in that way putting the stamp of endorsement of the military authorities on the proposal, no concrete action has as yet been taken. The Armory oBard, of which the Mayor, the Comptroller and the President of the Board of Aldermen, or a majority as far as controlled votes in the Board of Estimate is concerned, are members, appointed a sub-committee some six months ago to look for a suitbale location for the proposed armory. This sub-committee consisted of Deputy Comptroller Hahlo, Brig. Gen. Dyer and the Mayor. The two first mentioned members of the committee submitted a final report to the Mayor last September for approval. Nothing has since been heard of the plan and Secretary Reinhardt of the Armory Board and DeputyComptroller Hahlo refuse to be quoted — without the sanction of the Mayor. Unless civic bodies, which at that time endorsed the plan, take action at once and ask the Mayor what is to be done, very little in the way of concrete action will be achieved, it is said. Colored Aldermen, get busy. 2 RACE MEN CAUGHT IN RED RAID. FEDERAL AGENTS, AND POLICE OF 33 CITIES RAIDS REDS FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.

Mr. Garvin made public information gathered by the federal authorities showing the nature of the work done among Negroes. "In a close conversation with the unskilled workers is the problem of the Negro. The colored man presents an economic and political problem. The Communist party will carry on agitation among negro workers to unite them with all clas conscious workers". Sept. 3—Star City, Ark.: Flinton Briggs, accused of having insulted white woman. Shot.

Lancaster, 90 years old, who faced a firing squad in 1863 for insubordination and was pardoned by a courier from President Lincoln as he was about to be shot, died today at Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

C., Dec. 29. — The full power of the state will be exerted to apprehend and bring to justice the men who lynched Powell Green, colored, in Franklinington Saturday night, Gov. Bickett declared in a statement excoriating the members of the mob which killed Green. A coroner's jury yesterday failed to identify anyone with the lynching after examining six witnesses. Testimony before the coroner developed the fact that the chief of police of Franklinington was holding Green when the negro shot R. M. Brown, prominent Franklininton citizen, whose murder led to the lynching. "The whole state is shocked and humiliated by this horrible outrage on our laws," said Gov. Bickett. "Such deeds put to open shame our boasted white civilization and make the name of southern chivalry a by-word and a reproach." Declaring that the man, above all others, was entitled to the protection of the law because he had no voice in making it, Gov. Bickett said that the mob denied to Green the right of going before a white man's judge and a white man's jury to receive a white man's protection.

PRICE FIVE CENTS CITY TIZENS. Economic Needs of Colored Race Are Conference Newark, N. J., December 31, 1919. Questions pertaining to the progress of the colored race with special emphasis on the economic situation, will be discussed at the Conservation Congress to take place early in the New Year in conjunction with the National Thript Week, Dr. J. E. Moorland, secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A. announced. — "The outstanding economic need of the colored people of America at the present time is a thorou appreciation of the value of conservation." Dr. Moorland said, "They are religious and industrious and are learning how to save. Their total savings throut the country amount to $25,000,000 in Liberty bonds, War Savings Stamps and other government securities purchased by colored persons. It is not more wages they are in need of, but advice and help in using their savings in the channels of commerce and finance so as to realize the power of money saved. "I found in Washington D. C. that colored people had at least $10,000,000 in the banks, but that there were very few business enterprises, comparatively speaking, owned, managed and controlled by them, which could afford employment for the large number of boys and girls graduated annually from the high schools." Among the questions to be considered at the conference are: 1. The conservation and right use of income. 2. Personal efficiency, which insures full use of normal power and constant application, effort, industry and dependability. 3. The stamping out of illiteracy. literacy among the Negroes, the CoAs one means of stamping out illored Men's Department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations has organized what is known as a Three R. people in churches, Sunday schools, League. This obtains pledges from students in colleges and educated and so forth, who individually promise to teach at least one illiterate to read, write, and cipher. Pledge cards are being distributed thru the colleges and various schools. 4. Conservation of talent. Somewhere back in an alley a little girl is singing who has a voice which, if trained, will bless the world with the gladness of song. Unfortunately people have not offered opportunities for the growth and expression of this talent among colored people, in music art, literature or science, as have been afforded to many races. 5. Conservation of religious energy, by translating it into action thus service. Delegates to the congress will be selected from professional men, business men, leading ministers, men of the colleges, and colored workers. "When the race demonstrates its ability to use its savings effectively," Dr. Moorland said, "it will naturally enter into the channels of national commerce and finance and become an asset and not a liability. This will be a means of increasing thrift and encouraging Christian stewardship." The financial creed of National Thrift Week will be adopted by the congress in its cooperation in the eight-day program. WOMAN SHOT ON PENNSYL- VANIA TRAIN. A panic was caused on a Pennsylvania Train when Arthur Jackson of Pittsburgh shot and seriously wounded Gertrude Lowe, then turned the revolver on himself and tried to end his own life. During the height of the excitement Frank Miller, a newsboy was hit by a stray bullet. THE CHICAGO WHIP SOCIETY COL. CHARLES YOUNG HERE Col. Chas. Young highest ranking Negro officer in the U. S.

We shall endeavor in this column to do our best toward fostering and stimulating literary production by constructive criticism. The literature of a race is to that race what memory is to the individual. The longer the memory of the past, the wiser is the individual. One of the worthiest and noblest of motives is the cultivation of a literature. Up to the present the Negro in America has accomplished very little if anything toward an enduring literature. Measured by the world's master-pieces, I do not think that we have even a fourth-class production; certainly not a good novel. And yet the talent, even genius is there. But the difficulties are so enormous, the encouragement so little that genius is choked to death or at least stunted by he rank. There is he case of the late Hiram Holland, certainly one of the finest minds in America who gave himself to the cultivation of his art, poetry and died prematurely of insufficient nourishment. Genius is like the pregnant mother that must be tenderly cared and not forced to perform the rough laboring work of life. Until the park and file of the Negro race are willing to make sacrifices and these need not be great ones, so lonfi will we as a race be lacking in first-class literature. In this issue, I will give my impressions of the annual literary contest held at Quinn Chapel Topic, "The New Negro and What He Should Demand from the American People." The papers were each of fifteen minuets duration. Now what is the principal requirement of such a paper? That is should go unswervingly to the mark as an arrow. In my opinion not a single contestant complied with this requirement. The majority spent a deal of time lauding the Negro soldier, a mtatre quite alien to the topic. Every speaker, except one strove for effect, that is, to try o see how flashingly and how soundingly each one could get his or her paper, instead of how directly, how sincerely, how simply. Another great defect in all the papers but one, was the boasting of the great attainments of he race. We were told that the Negro had produced scientists that were the equal of Newton, Edison and Mraconi. Bancker, for instance was the equal of Newton, a palpable and laughable absurdity. Our young literary folk, and even our older ones are prone to unwarrantable boasting about our accomplishments as a race, which can but make the judicious grieve or smile, according to temparment. If we are to express ourselves frankly the papers were all much below standard. By far, the best paper was that of Mr. Owens. He not only showed some knowledge of the subject, bt he stuck to it, until the end wwhen he finished by a long peroratim from Ingersoll, quite irrelevant to the subject. One young orator, who thrilled me with his fire, had a fundamentally wrong conception of what such a paper should be. He sought rather to dazzle by wordy pyrotechnics than to furnish matter for thought. He took his hearers, almost everywhere else but the topic. He descanted on the Negro soldier, took us into the intricacies of the the different national anthems, spoke French and German, and finished with an outburst of oratory, which with stirring and magnificent was utterly irrevalent. The day of the orator is over. We have instead, the clear, calm, scientific thinker. This young orator with the proper training promises unusually well. The writer is desirous of doing his best toward the literary cultivation of the race, and invites his literary brothers, and lal interested to communicate with him. FISH and Oyster House.

"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of the A nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." (Declaration of Independence.) In announcing myself as a candidate for Alderman of the Second Ward I feel that same statement of the principles for which I stand should be given to those whose surferage I claim. I believe in the principles contained in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Amendments made therein and the Constitution of Illinois and the laws made under the same; I believe in the enforcement of each and every provision of the laws fair and impartially without regard to race, creed or color; I believe in equal rights, privileges and immunities to all citizens regardless of race, color, creed or sex; I believe in the equal protection of the laws and its orderly procedure in all cases without regard to the nature of the accusation; I believe in the equality of opportunity of all citizens in the industrial, political, civic, economic, legal and intellectual life of America; I believe that discrimination, disfranchisement, lynching in Jim Crowism cannot be abolished by petitions and remonstrances, but that we must stand on our rights and battle for the abolition of these abominations in the courts, at the ballot box, in the industrial and economic warfare and never cease the fight until the absolute eradication of each and every one of the same; I believe that the police should be prohibited from the making of unjustifiable raids on the homes of citizens and that some redres should be provided by law for the citizen less expensive than as now exists; I believe in better police protection in this ward, better streets and cleaner streets and alleys; I believe in better working conditions for the laboring peoples both men and women; I believe that the Civil Rights Law of Illinois should be enforced in Chicago even if necessary to enact Ordinances in support thereof; I believe in better transportation facilities on the surface lines and elevated roads; I believe a 5 cent fare sufficient within the City of Chicago; I believe in an equal distribution of patronage in proportion to the numerical population; I believe in making America safe for the American to live in without regard to his race, color or creed. I dedicate myself to the end that these principles may exist as a fact annot alose in theory. I concede to no man a better right to enjoy the rights and privileges of America than I, and if elected I shall continue my fight for my people unhampered by any bosses and my actions shall be subject, only to the will and welfare of the voters of my ward. To those who are acquainted with me it is not necessary to detail my fight for the common people and the mosses, to those who have not known me I can only ask that you inquire in the Second Ward where I have resided since my arrival in Chicago. As to my qualifications I can briefly state that I graduated from John Marshall Law School, Chicago, 1911, admitted to the Supreme Court of Illinois 1912, the United District Court, and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the same year, admitted to the United States Supreme Court 1916 and have been engaged in the active practice of law since my admission in Chicago. Served throughout the recent World's War as "Associate Legal Advisor", without compensation. With this brief statement of the principles for which I stand and to which I solemnly pledge myself I do herewith submit my candidacy to the voters of the Second Ward. Respectfully, Richard E. Westbrooks, 3000 South State Street. Funds Are Needed By Colored Hospitals. Committee Announces That $5000 More Is Required for Institution. Charles Hamilton, Ben Beekman, and D. D. Moore, members of the committee of New Orleans business men who have volunteered their services in raising a fund for the erection and maintenance of the Providence Hospital and Training School for Nurses, an institution devoted to the colored population of the city, have issued an appeal for an additional $5000.

STATE STREET A Complete Correspondence Course in Hair Dressing $25 Manicuring Facial Massages The amount is necessary to complete payments on the purchase of three pieces of property at South Robertson and Delachaise streets, and also for the equipment of the new building. The committee hopes the entire amount will be raised by January 1 at the time of the formal opening of the institution. New Orleans has the largest colored population of any city in the South with only one small colored hospital while other Southern communities support from two to four such institutions. When fully equipped, the Providence Hospital will enable the negro doctor to continue his education by personal observation of surgical operations, and by developing the higher education of the colored doctors and nurses, a long step will have been taken in the direction of helping the negro to help himself. The hospital will be equipped with free wards, while pay wards will be made so as to facilitate those of the race not able to pay the usual medical charges. In 1909 the Providence Sanitarium opened its doors at Canal and Howard streets, and after being compelled to move a number of times, a suitable neighborhood was selected by the committee, with the approval of the Commission Council. The goal is now reached and with the additional $5000 which the committee pledged itself to raise. New Orleans will be able to boast of having provided one of the best equipped institutions of its kind in the South, devoted entirely to her colored population. What Our Children Are Taught A text-book published by the American Book Company — a concern which is, by the way, unfair to organized labor — is furnished teachers in the Butte schools for class-room use. This work is called "A School History of the Great War." On page 117 is found this delightfully sympathetic account of the Irish revolution in 1916. "Some of the more radical among the Irish Home Rule party had formed an organization known as Sinn Fein, an Irish phrase which means "for ourselves." Their aim was to make Ireland an independent nation. The leaders of this group got into correspondence with persons in Germany and were promised military assistance if they would rebel against England. The rebellion broke out April 24, 1916, without the promised help from Germany. For several days the rebels hold some of the principal buildings in Dublin. After much bloomed the rebellion was put down and Sir Roger Casement, one of those who had been in communication with Germany, was executed for treason." Thus does this "history" dismiss the struggle of the Irish people for freedom from oppression! Nor are the Russians treated any more kindly. On page 123, in speaking of the Russian revolution, which freed 180,000,000 people, it states: "The revolt was led by two of the most extreme members of the party, Lenin and Trotzky, who had at their disposal large sums of money furnished by Germany." This lie has been exploded so often that only the most astounding disregard for facts could have caused its incorporation in a school history. — Whatever Lenin and Trotzky may be, it has been proved to the satisfaction of both Germany and the Allies that they were not German agents as this work infers; their propaganda entirely demoralized the eastern German armies. The tender regard for the interests of wealth and privilege is again shown on page 156, where it states: "Soon after war was declared, the railroads of the country placed themselves at the disposal of the government in order to take care of the increase in transportation service required by the state of war." "Placed themselves at the disposal of the government" is rather good considering the fact that the government was forced to take the roads over in order to relieve the traffic congestion that threatened to disrupt the industrial life of the nation and considering further that the roads left no stone unturned to prevent the government taking control. The stereotyped explanation of the rise in prices — blaming it on labor — is also adopted by this children's guide. It says: were more rage 9; ficers of man, 4; alleged improper 6; shoot shooting and voul plicity is 1; kill killing a settlem en being ac e of the la rce riot a white der bed, marks, 1 mobs sse "When the government wants a great quantity of ammunition for which it is willing to pay a high price, the manufacturer, desiring to obtain an increased number of workmen quickly, offers unusually high pay. This attracts workmen from other industry, and the latter offer still higher pay to their workmen. In this way, wages rapidly go up and things that have to be produced with labor, like coal, or houses, or ships, rise enormously in cost." Few workers will subscribe to this sketch of the workers' paradise that this country was supposed to be during the war. The fact that wages always lag behind the cost of living and that wage increases are never secured until prices have risen seems to be unknown to the compilers of this masterpiece, but as long as labor is the class that gets the worst of it, it is doubtful if many will notice the errors. "The School History of the Great War," compiled by Albert McKinley, Ph. D., professor of history, University of Pennsylvania; Charles A. Coulomb, Ph. D., district superintendent of schools, Philadelphia, and Armand Gerson, Ph. D., also a district superintendent of schools in Philadelphia. The fact that the steel-trust owns the state of Pennsylvania and with it the public school system, may possibly account for some of the more glaring mis-statements of fact when the truth would injure the financial interests associated with the steel trust. The learned gentlemen named above should have no difficulty in securing, as a reward for their attempts to poison knowledge at its source, a few more degrees from the steel trust's University of Pennsylvania. Major Moton Gives Lynching Record for 1919. I send you the following information relative to lynchings for the past year. According to the record compiled by Monroe N.

The Negroes Civic League Contemplates Activities. Loneaster, Pa., December 31. 1919. At a meeting of the Negro Civic League, recommendations were adopted to open a reading room at the Day Nursery, No 516 North Street, where good literature and current newspapers will be supplied. It was also decided that the league should become the agency for colored newspapers, under the direction of Miss Maud Wilson, with headquarters at the Day Nursery. Much interest centers in the educational department of the league. This branch prepares a literary and musical program for the second Friday night in every month. A debate will be a feature of the program for this week. The subject is "Resolved, That environment has a greater influence upon development than heredity." Strong arguments are expected from both sides, with Mrs Laura Wilson and George Wilson for the affirmative and Mrs. Daniel Foster and David Kelley on the negative side. The public is invited.

In one of the fastest exhibitions of basketball witnessed on the local "Y" court so far this season, the Wabash Five defeated the Kosmos Krostman Club by a score of 38-24. The game was full of speedy ball, the passing, shooting, checking and team work of both teams being of first class order. The "Y" boys showed their superiority in close-in work near the basket which was responsible for a large number of baskets. Kosmos team represents a local Masonic lodge and numbers amongst its players some of the fastest men in the city. "Germany" Schaefer was a team in himself being responsible for six baskets and two free throws. His team mates failed to give him the support necessary to make his style of play successful. elix and tSohoert were also in the limelight for Kosmos. For Waash Captain Bluitt lead his team with six baskets and four free throws. Bob Anderson netted the ball for six tallies also and played his usually strong floor game. Duff at center who made his first appearance of the year exhibited his old time form and in a few weeks will lead them all. His superior jumping was responsible for many of the Wabash rushes. Thomas and Hubbard at guard played steady games, the former using his long reach and ball handling too cleverly for the Kosmos boys to penetrate. Early in the second half Ralph Revells replaced Duff at center and showed he has not forgotten how to handle the ball. Revells will bear watching this season as he is a speedy player and handles the ball cleanly. If Wabash continues to improve as during the last week they would be in fine fettle to meet the famous Vandal Athletic Club of Atlantic City in their first game for the Colored Championship of the World, which will be played on the Wabash floor aJnuary 14th. Tickets for this game are available now, and an advance sale of reserved seats should lead all records.

HAMPTON, VA., Jan. 1.—The Hampton basketball team defeated Shaw University in the Hampton Gymnasium, on Saturday, December 20, by a score of 31 to 15, before one of the most enthusiastic crowds seen here in many years. The Shaw team journeyed from Raleigh with confidence of winning an easy victory. A large group of Shaw rooters were on the side lines, yelling and cheering their men on to victory, but it was evident from the beginning that Shaw was outclassed in every department of the game. The speed, shooting, and passing ability of the Hampton aggregation at times completely baffled the opponents. The Shaw forwards were so closely guarded that they got only two baskets during the entire game. Their points resulted from fouls. The game was especially enjoyed by the spectators as it was free from any form of contention and was cleanly played throughout. Time after time the spectators were brought to their feet by the brilliant playing of the Hampton quintet. The playing of Bradby and Freeman for Hampton and the foul shooting of Mowery of Shaw were the features of the game.

Formerly at Electric Studio A Complete Correspondence Course in Basket Ball Encouraged Urges U. S. to Help by Leading Athletes Africa. Intersectional basketball like intersectional football is being encouraged this year as never before in the annals of athletics. Almost a decade has passed since Washington first imported a New York aggregation to battle in the True Reformers' hall. At that time the Northern lads were the last word in basketball; they scheduled the less accomplished Capital City bugs with a patronizing expression on their countenances. The next year, however, Henderson, the versatile athletic director of the Washington public schools, scrapped together five birds who, within a month or two, acquired enough basketball technique to pilgrimage to New York, sporting on their jerseys the legend, "Washington Y. M. C. A.", and upset the indoor sport world by nabbing every little thing in sight. The brilliancy of their crusade attracted the attention of the Howard University authorities to the realization that each member of he suddenly celebrated team, except Coach Henderson, was a student of that institution. An extra session of the faculty was straightway summoned; an amendment to the constitution was railroaded through, with the result that no undergraduate could perform under the colors of outside clubs and remain in school. The Y. M. C. A. team became a memory; practically the identical team, the following season, grabbed the National championship (colored), displaying the white and blue ribbons of Howard. This aggregation remained the undisputed class of the courts, until one day an ill wind blew in an invitation for them to exhibit their wares in Pittsburgh. The Howard bunch are bears at traveling. They made a hysterical leap at the trip; it was a disastrous jump, in that they experienced a headon collision into the crack Monticello aggregation. The Howard team required a long time to recover from that spill. Since those days Hampton has developed into a power which must always be reckoned with. Union University at Richmond must be considered; and Lincoln can not well be ignored. The crack Monticello quintet of the Smoky city relinquished its place in the sun to the Delaney Rifles. I am now told that they are a thing of the past, and the inter-scholastics are monarchs of all they survey in western Pennsylvania. Here in the windy city, basketball activites have been limited to Y. M. C. A. courts. The Wabash avenue deparment and that in Evanston are the classic rivals. They both make good showings against the local white teams. Intersectional contests draw well, encourage the development of the game and are disastrous to the monotony of localism.

"To participate in the solution of the African problem would not be for this country to embark upon a new and untried policy, for by our presence at the conference of Berlin in 1885, and our ratification of the act of Brussels, and by the official statements of our Department of State, we have repeatedly affirmed our interest and admitted our responsibility for conditions in Africa. "Whether we shall ultimately share in the opportunities and responsibilities presented by the German-African colonies is a question for the Senate to decide, but so large a question, involving as it does international, racial and financial problems of the first magnitude should certainly receive full consideration and exhaustive discussion by the Senate."

MEANS MUCH TO THE WORLD dust How Far the Workers Will Go in the Application of Socialistic Ideas Is the Greatest Point of In terest—May Not Hold Power Long. ‘The hour ts near at hand, evidently, when Great Drivin will be governed by the labor purty. ‘The coulition gov ernment has held together remarkably ‘well, thanks to Mr, Lloyd George's won: derful polittent skill, but the handwrit ing has been on the wall ever since the armistice, and labor will have its way soon. The passing of the British gov- ernment under Inhor control depends merely upon the date of the elections, and they must be held soon, ‘The course of labor in England will be closely studied in America, prin- cipally in the development und appli catlon of socialistic Ideas. Tt appears probable that British labor will eue- ceed in having mines, railroads and other activities soctalized. ‘The Lloyd George government has gone very far, Jndeed, toward meeting these demands, but ft has not satistied Iubor and must stand aside for a covernuent that will unhesitatingly adopt soclalization fon a decisive seals. Where will the experiment lead? Where will the vested interests try to call a halt? When and how will the British classes be broken up, If they are to be broken up, and what kind of soclety will emerge? ‘Trade unlonism has heen carried much further in England than (n the United States, While the Industelal conference in Washington splits on the question of collective bargnining, British employers have long asso ree ognized the principle and are glad to be able to hire union Inbor, for It Is now the only labor that Is dependable, If unlon labor is the begiuning of sy clalism, tt has a long way to go in the United States, for It has not yee reached that stage even in England, although the opponents of unionisin think they see socialism of a danger ons kind emerging from British unlon- tin. ‘The dominating personalities of a labor-controlied British government are faintly foreshadowed, Seine of them are not very preposessing, They have been misled by bolshevisin and ‘ories which, If they have’ the power to put them on #1al, will cost England dearly. But it {¢ not probable that any man will remain dominant tong ff @ labor government should come, for the very condition Itself ts shift ing and experimental, und ministers would probably come and go with great rapldity,—Washington Post. Eight-Hour Workday in Japan. ‘The decision of the Sawnsakl Ship: building company of Kobe, Japan, to adopt the elght-hour working day made after labor troubles there, has been followed by similar action by many factories and companies at Osaka and other western Japan cen: ters. ‘The Tokyo chamber of commerce has passed resolutions recommending general adoption of an eight-hour working time system, ‘The chamber has also recommend- ¢4 prohibition of night work between 10 p. m. and 4a. m., prohibition of eu ployment of workers under fourteen years and granting of furiongh of four weeks to women workers before and after childbirth, Shipbuilding Record Set. Lloyd's shipping report says that at the end of June, 1919, a record amount of shipbullding was golng on through- out the world, namely, 4,300,000 tons, ‘of which 2,000,000 tons were building in the United Kingdom, During the year to June 90 there were 3,800,000 gross tons registered at Lloyd's, of which the United States built 1,900,006) tons, the United Kingdom 1,300,000, Japan 360,000 and Canada 200,000. Next to the United States Japan showed the greatest increase in ship- Dullding in wartime.

STRIKES TO BE BARRED, SAYS FINANCIAL WRITER. “Browdin Wall.” who writes fon the duily happenings in Wall street, says: “It can be stated on the highs est authority that the president's cabinet has decided to permit no more strikes, “AML such disturbances will be treated as acts against the government and will be sup: pressed accordingly. “Labor will get a square deal, but will not be permitted to tie up the tudustries of the coun- try.” ——————————— TO ELECT FRIENDS OF LABOR Coming Conference Said to Plan Ace tion Leading to the Control of Next Congress.

STATE STREET, CHICAGO Detroit, Michigan, Dec. 31. 1919. What is believed to be the only country club for colored people in America was opened in Connecticut a short time ago on property including a house and twenty-two acres of rolling wooded ground, located conveniently on one of the state trunk-line highways, a distance of only 15 miles from Waterbury and 25 miles from New Haven. The interurban trolley passes its doors and within less than a stone's throw is a small railroad station on the Hartford and Waterbury line of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. Already a five hole golf course has been laid out, and is proving popular with the members, while back of the club are finely built tennis courts. The club has proved even more popular than was expected, and has every prospect of permanence. John L. Haile, of Waterbury, is the founder of the Chestire Country Club, as it is called. Mr. Haile is a chef in the employ of Mrs. Harriet B. Thorpe leading caterer of Waterbury. He has been with Mrs. Thorpe about seven years. Before that, he was head waiter at the old Scoville House in Waterbury, until it burned. He often passed the place which has been since acquired for the country club, and it appealed to him so much that he told his wife he would like to buy it for a residence. Then came the thought of purchasing it for a club of restricted membership among colored people. Mr. Haile conferred with friends and was encouraged to proceed with the plan. The property is particularly suited for club purposes. The location is a choice one and the building and grounds are picturesque. A terrace rises abruptly from the road, and a lawn stretches back to the house, in the midst of a watermelon patch, more than three hundred feet away. At the rear of the building a magnificent view is obtained. At the left, far in the distance, looms the Sleeping Giant, a high peak in the Wallingford range of mountains, and at the right the Seven Sisters stand out imposingly. At some distance from the house is a convenient grove, which is utilized for clambakes and picnics. The old-fashioned house is a roomy two-story structure providing ample accommodations for the present needs of the club. A wide veranda runs along the entire lenght of the house in front and at one side. Inside, the largest space is devoted to a reception room, which can be used for dancing or large card parties. Smaller rooms are used for billiard and lounging. A steward and his wife live on the premises, and plain repasts may be obtained at all times, and upon short notice special orders will be served. The club has no officers, but a board of governors directs its affairs and passes upon all applications for membership. Undesirables are promptly white-balled. There are now more than two hundred members whose residences range from Massachusetts to Tennessee. The attitude of the poultry farmers and colored churches in the vicinity toward the new enterprise is of interest. The club has proved very popular with the Afro-American smart set, and news of its establishment travelled far and wide. In the summer and early fall the grounds are crowded Sunday afternoons, and many automobiles are parked on the terrace. Various organizations have held outings on the club grounds. The Sonora Campfire girls of New Haven camped there for a week in July. The St Elmo club of New Haven and the Nemberolic club of the same city have held social affairs at the club house. The Grand Lodge of the Household of Ruth held a convention there and local festivities are of regular recurrence. Financially the venture is a success, and the men back of the undertaking feel encouraged to go ahead and provide more lavishly for the comfort and convenience of the guests. As soon as practicable, the club house will be enlarged and facilities for outdoor sports perfected. Lauds Colored Soldier. Washington, D. C., Dec. 31, 1919. In behalf of the movement for the erection of a monument in this city to commemorate the part Negro soldiers and sailors took in the war, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, making an address at Liberty Hut, said: "One night a zealous gentleman in the intelligence service came to my house greatly alarmed, because he had obtained undoubted evidence that Prussian spies were offering large sums of money and hoped to organize a colored division of treasonable men to practise sabotage. When I found that Prussian enemies were relying upon organized colored assistance I calmed his fears by assuring him that, though here and there he might find a traitor among the American Negroes, he might give himself no trouble, for I knew that the Negroes could neither be cajoled nor threatened nor bought to enter a conspiracy to injure this country. "Full investigation proved that I was right. Later, when the call came to take up arms, more than 200,000 Negroes went across the sea to fight, not a few of them to seal their devotion with their blood and many to win decorations for their fine fighting and faithful services. "This was not the first time American colored soldiers have fought trained Prussian troops and given a good account of themselves. A Hessian officer who fought against the revolutionary soldiers wrote: "The Negro can take the field instead of his master, and therefore no regiment is to be seen in which there are not Negroes in abundance, and among them are able bodied, strong, brave fellows." The Rev. Dr. Harris, of New Hampshire, a soldier in the Revolution, writing of their fighting, said: "Three times they were attacked with most desperate fury by well-disciplined and veteran troops and three times did they successfully repel the assault and thus preserve our army from capture." "The spirit of America with reference to brave colored soldiers has been expressed in many communities. North and South, but perhaps its best expression was given in the welcome tended by the city of Albany, N. Y. when Gov. Smith, former Gov. Glynn, Mayor Watt and other citizens staged a welcome to Sergt. Henry Johnson, called by the Times-Union 'Albany's heroic soulier.' When the United States entered the war, Segt. Johnson went across among the first, was decorated by the French and honored by America for having killed four Germans and wounded twenty-eight more. "It is fitting that here at Washington a suitable memorial of the devotion of colored troops should be erected. In South Carolina a former slave owner has erected a monument to colored men who were faithful in days that tested fealty. In North Carolina a Confederate soldier has built a toteill mill and named it for a colored man who was true and worthy. "As token of a country's recognition of the courage of Negroes of this and other wars, the people of every part of this republic will join in hastening passage of the bill for a suitable monument. It will be an incentive to the youth of the race to 'emulate the virtues of the men whose deeds it will commemorate.'" PUTS BLAME ON EMPLOYERS Eastern Periodical Charges That Many Have Seought to Keep Allen Employees in Ignorance. Suddenly what they saw and heard in the steel-manufacturing districts of Pennsylvania, the committee of the United States senate, headed by Senator Kenyon, is said to favor a law making knowledge of the English language compulsory. Legislation of this description would be like many another enactment designed to meet the same evil and which has amounted to nothing. The importation of alien contract labor was prohibited many years ago, and yet witnesses for the employers testified last week that the mills could not be and never had been operated without alien labor. It is not enough for the United States to say that immigrants must learn English. There is no national system of education, and even if there were men who work twelve hours a day are not commonly found in night schools. The trouble is that labor is actually recruited abroad; that on arrival here it is herded in camps and colonies where little English is spoken or required; that it falls under foreign influences in nearly all its industrial and social activities, and that, so far as the people of the United States are concerned, it is neglected and forgotten until, through some injustice or responding to the incitement of agitators, it becomes a menacing mess of ignorance and violence. Knowledge of English is not encouraged by the steel masters and by many other employers who are quick to blame their troubles upon the very conditions from which they profit. Knowledge of English would be an incentive to good citizenship and to the realization of a higher scale of living, but the fact is that almost insuperable obstacles are imposed against the immigrants' learning English, and until these obstacles are removed no flat of congress will avail anything.—New York World. Steel Pay Increase Biggest. The increase in the earnings an hour of employees in eleven principal industries during the last six years was greatest in the iron and steel industry, according to a statement made public by the bureau of statistics of the labor department. While in some departments the pay was greater than in others, in all departments collectively the hourly wage of steel and iron mill workers was 221 per cent of the hourly wage in 1913, or 21-5 times as great. The smallest increased earnings were those in the mill work industry, where the increase of 1919 over 1913 was but 51 per cent. In the other nine industries for which figures were given the increases varied from 52 to 94 per cent. These included cotton, woolen, silk, clothing, underwear, shoes, furniture and diggar factory workers. THE CHICAGO WHIP Lockout in Spain the Beginning of Life-and-Death Struggle, It Is Announced. BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT Workmen, It Is Believed, Are Better Organized Than the Employers—Professional Men, as Well as Laborers, Involved. The lockout begun in Barcelona, Spain, is the starting of a fight to the finish between the employers and the workmen of Spain, according to statements made by leaders on both sides. Each side is determined, but the workmen are considered to be better organized than the employers. The employers have in their organization numbers of members who are lukewarm in support of the lockout, while the workmen or syndicalists, who include professional men as well as laborers, are closely united. The movement, which has 200,000 members in Barcelona alone, including employees of the great textile factories, is led by Senor Begin, a house painter, twenty-six years old, and Festana, a former priest, but now an editor. IN OTHER FIELDS OF LABOR The Standard Oil company of New Jersey has 10,000 annual wage earners. London policewomen work seven hours a day and receive at the rate of $10 per week. The wages of government railroad workers in Ecuador range from 30 to 40 cents a day. The socialization of all the important industries in Spain is being given careful consideration. The average daily wage of women workers in Germany has increased 263 per cent since 1914. Nineteen out of every 100 women between the age of twenty-four and thirty-five work for a living. Physicians in New York contemplate forming a union and affiliating with the American Federation of Labor. Trade unions of carriage and automobile workers and electrical workers of Winston-Salem, N. C., have been organized. Strikes, lockouts and industrial controversies, directly and indirectly, now affect more than 100,000 workmen and their families. Employees and employers are equally represented on the recently formed national wood textile industry council in England. All discussions will be arbitrated. It is claimed that Canada faces industrial conditions under which from 80,000 to 150,000 workers may find themselves without employment during the winter. The Swiss Federation of Metal and Watch workers, which had only 35,000 members on January 1, 1917, now has 80,000 and is the biggest union in Switzerland. More than 90 per cent of union builders at Miami, Fla., voted for a general strike to uphold the principle of the closed shop. More than 3,600 union men are affected and $2,000,000 worth of building held up. Demands of 1,000 New York retail grocery clerks, who struck for increased wages and shorter hours, have been granted and the men returned to work. The clerks asked for a nine-hour day and a wage scale of $20 a week. A general strike of unions of the Mexican confederation of labor is threatened, according to Mexico City newspapers. The confederation, it is said, has instructed all affiliated unions to be prepared to quit work upon receipt of a strike order. Anthracite and brown coal workers of Saxony, recognizing the critical situation due to the coal shortage, have voted to resume working eight hours a day, including Sundays and holidays, until March, according to advises to the Berlin Nossiche Zeitung from Dresden. Declaring that the Standard Steel Car company of Hammond has not made satisfactory concessions in attempts at mediation, the electrical workers voted to continue the strike. The car workers voted to return to work. Blacksmiths and machinists have refused to return. The City Firemen's union of the District of Columbia withdrew from the American Federation of Labor and will continue as an independent union. Congress has announced an increase in the firemen's pay would not be considered while they were connected with the federation. The withdrawal had been expected since the recent disintegration of the policemen's union. There are now 300,000 persons in 65 strikes in 20 states. Sixty per cent of the coal wagon drivers and longshoremen in Toronto, Ont., are organized. John Turner, who died recently in Camden, N. J., had the distinction of working fifty-two years and eight months for the Pennsylvania railroad without having lost a day's work. The recent increase in wages granted wiredemen will affect between 30,000 and 25,000 workers and will mean an increase of over $5,000,000 a year in the expenditures of the Western Union Telegraph company. SEES GOOD IN INCORPORATION Frade Journal Believee Labor Organi zations Would Be Benefited by Assuming Responsibility. The trade union should be compelled to come within the operations of the law, as all other corporate bodies are; and until this is done there can never be peace and stability in industry, nor constancy of work and wages for the worker. Once responsibility and obligation are made compulsory by law what will result? The union will be inspired and guided by the moral standards of the individual worker. The nation will be a real democracy, and not the corporation described as an organization without a soul to damn or a body to kick. Responsibility will bring prudence, if not wisdom; leaders will be chosen with more discrimination; all contracts and bargains will be made with caution and the knowledge that once entered upon they must be lived up to; and strikes as cures of eglys, if they come, will only come after deliberation and a weighing of consequences, and not on the spur of passion. Compulsory incorporation of trade unions means no loss of rights, privileges or security to the collective body; it does mean an increase of dignity, standing and importance to the union and its membership; it does mean a steadying of the economic ship, a promise of enduring industrial peace and a better day for employer and employee.—Boot and Shoe Recorder. WORK IN SIGHT FOR ALL GERMAN UNEMPLOYED Work for all German unemployed for the next eight years will be provided in restoring French mines, says Vorwaerts. The German mining commission sent to ascertain the extent of the damage has made public its findings. "The task," the newspaper says, "is so great that it is sufficient to furnish work for every idle man in Europe and for everyone else engaged in superfluous labor. The report shows the fallacy of the theory that emigration of 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 persons from Germany is an economic necessity." English Clergy Plan "Union." Clergymen, following the example of physicians and other professional men in England, are forming a trade union for the purpose of securing better conditions and more pay. Rev. C. W. Lloyd-Evans, vicar of the parish church at Milbourne St. Andrew, in the heart of Dorsetshire, is leading the movement, and he has received letters from clergymen in all parts of the country pledging, support. Most of his correspondents unite in scoring bishops. "We want a regular trade union," writes one, proposing "a clerical strike if our demands are not listened to and our grievances redressed by those in authority without delay." Mr. Lloyd-Evans says the clergymen, when organized, will demand a minimum of $2,500 a year and increased pensions. Victories for British Labor Party. Victories for British Labor Party. Further reports on the results of the municipal elections recently held throughout Great Britain emphasize the completeness of the Labor victory. In the Poplar district of London the Labor party captured 39 seats out of 42. Nine Labor candidates were elected in Chelsea. Even in fashionable Kensington six Laborites were returned. The Times says the chief lesson to be learned from the election is the proved existence of an "election-winning Labor machine" all over the country, and notes that the party won successes at such unlikely places as Bath, Brighton, Oxford and Cambridge. "The people now have other ambitions than merely paying local taxes." Is the comment of the Daily News, organ of former Premier Asquith. Workers to Run Factory. An interesting experiment in factory management with the participation of the workers in Italy is reported by H. (C) MacLean, trade commissioner at Rome, to the department of commerce. Upon the recommendation of Undersecretary of State Conti, the interministerial committee for the transformation of war industries has decided to turn over a plant at Castenaso, in Bogota province, to a group of manufacturers that a trial may be made of its operation with the participation of the workers. The plant during the war employed 2,000 workmen. The workers will have their own representatives on a board of directors and a share in the profits and the privilege of purchasing the plant within a specified period. Will Keen "No Strike" Clause Will Keep "No Strike" Clause. Referendum vote of members of the National Federation of Post Office Clerks resulted in the retention of the "no strike" clause in the constitution of the organization. The result of the rote, which has been in process of polling since September, stood 9,400 against the clause and 10,389 in favor. Right Kind of Union Move. British trade unions and British co-operative societies with a united membership of 9,000,000 will unite to get better distribution and prices for commodities. According to Statistics, the Average Working Day Is Under Eight Hours. STEEL MILLS AN EXCEPTION In That Industry a Portion of the Employees Work Twelve, and Many Ten Hours—Figures Relating to Women in Industry. In preparation for the study of the eight-hour day question at the international labor conference, figures were compiled concerning hours of labor in the United States. They are based on a survey conducted by the bureau of labor statistics of 404,758 employees, in 28 industries, distributed over 23 states. The average number of hours worked per day by 318,046 males was 7.6. The average worked by 85,812 female employees was 7.5 hours per week day. In the different industries the average time worked by males varied from 5.5 hours a day in the bituminous coal industry, now tied up by the strike, to 8.7 hours in the confectionery industry. But wide variations were noted in the industries themselves. In iron and steel, for example, more than one-sixth of the workers put in 12 hours and more a day and another 15 per cent worked ten hours or more. Of the entire 319,000 males embraced in the survey, 32,423 worked less than four hours a day on the average, while at the other extreme no fewer than 11,676 men worked at the rate of 12 hours or more per day. Despite the large numbers at the extremes, 172,750 males or 54 per cent of the entire number, worked at least seven, but less than ten hours a day on the average. Similar variations were noted among women in industry. Out of the 86,000 women tabulated 4,284 averaged less than four hours a day and 725 worked ten hours and over a day, while 52,000, or 61 per cent of the entire number, worked seven hours and under nine hours a day. The earnings of the men averaged 56 cents per hour; of the women 30 cents an hour. To Recommend Minimum Wage. The joint congressional commission on reclassification of salaries in the District will recommend to congress a minimum wage for government employees. Announcement to this effect was made for the first time officially by Dr. W. E. Mosher, research director of the commission, at a meeting, when 200 members of "service committees" met to make preparations for the public hearings. The minimum wage to be recommended will apply to single men and single women in the government service, and, in all probability, be in the neighborhood of $1,000. Dr. Royal Meeker of the bureau of labor statistics has recommended to the commission a minimum of $1,000 for men and $1,083 for single woman employees of the federal government there. These figures probably will be augmented by the bureau of labor statistics. Costly to All Concerned. The futility of at least some labor strike movements is shown in figures recently compiled by the Southern Public Utilities company on losses sustained through the August strike of their street car employees in Charlotte, N. C., Winston-Salem, N. C., and Greenville, N. C. The strike cost the company not less than $100,000. It is estimated, while the economic loss to the public totaled $400,000 and the employees suffered a wage loss of $40,000. Before a settlement of the differences between the employers and employees was reached, a riot was precipitated in Charlotte, resulting in five fatalities and the wounding of a dozen persons. The final adjustment of the bitter and costly controversy was effected with only slight concessions being made by either side. Efficiency Must Come First. Efficiency Must Come First. The decision reached by some of the British trade unions to withdraw their request for a shorter week than 47 hours, until an opportunity had been given to examine the results of this innovation, is of greater significance than appears on the surface. It shows that the union leaders are beginning to realize that there is something larger than personal interest. It shows also that the leaders have not quite forgotten that the real basis of the reduction of working hours is greater efficiency. When labor as a whole sees that it is just as far from reaching a solution of the problems of today when it abuses the privileges it has wrested from the employer as when it was abused by that employer, that solution will be more than half found.—Christian Selence Monitor. For General Wage Advance For General Wage Advance. The trade union side of the National Joint Industrial council of the nontrading services of the local authorities throughout England has decided to make general application for advances in the wages of all employees in those services of not less than 6 per week.

Declaring "continued and unreasonable demands of labor unions menace to city's welfare," and that they will no longer "deal with men who fragmently break their contracts," business men and industrial heads of Dallas (Tex.) adopted the "open shop" plan. This means in future unionists must work with common men if they work at all. Labor leaders declare this means general walkout and tieup in the industrial world, but business men say they are prepared to meet the emergency and will fight the matter out. Public opinion in Dallas is said to be behind the business men in the open shop move. IN THE FIELD OF LABOR A number of corn cutters employed on an Ohio farm are receiving $8 a day and board. Nearly 1,000 oil companies have been organized in the north Texas fields as a result of the booms of recent years. The number of persons killed on railways of the United States during 1918 decreased 3.2 per cent over the fatalities in 1917. Proposed amalgamation with the American Federation of Labor was rejected by the Iowa State Teachers' association at its recent convention. Bank clerks in Oakland, Cal., who have been receiving $80 per month, plan the forming of an organization to better themselves in the way of wages. A recent study including more than 20,000 women employed in factories and stores in New York state revealed that more than half work for less than $14 a week. At Ogden, Utah, Roy Woodward, business agent of the teamsters' union, arrested as the leader in disturbances on August 23, was sentenced to serve two 30-day terms in the city jail. Shipbuilders at the Fore River shipyards, Quincy, Mass., have applied for a charter for a cooperative bank, the stated purpose of which is to assist in inculcating thrift and in establishing homes. A delegation of union men from Waynesboro, Pa., paid the $2,492.84 fines and costs for the 54 strikers in jail at Chambersburg. The strikers 90 days sentences having expired, they were released. Eleven hundred longshoremen employed at St. John, N. B., accepted the steamship interests' compromise wage offer of 70 cents an hour. The men are now receiving 60 cents an hour and they demanded 80 cents. The strike of bricklayers at the West of Scotland Steel works at Glasgow has collapsed, a ballot of the men having resulted in a vote for the resumption of work. The employers agreed to discuss the wage question with the men within a week after work has been resumed. London is to retain its women ambulance drivers. Their retention was hotly contested by labor members at a meeting of the asylum's board, but the chairman of the committee said that women had faced danger in air raids and were entitled to due consideration. His motion to retain them was carried. Provisions in the district of Columbia policemen's pay bill to prohibit other federal employees from belonging to organizations affiliated with labor unions, employing strike methods, were eliminated from the measure by senate and house conferences. A clause prohibiting local policemen from striking was retained. The weekly report of the department of labor lists seven new labor controversies brought to the attention of the department during the week ended November 15, as compared with 14 and 13 for the two previous weeks. There are pending for adjustment 44 strikes and 111 controversies. Four strikes were adjusted during the week. Fountain pen makers in nearly every factory in Brooklyn went on strike. A general strike was declared by 400 members of the Hard Rubber Turners' union, connected with the American Federation of Labor. The Fountain Pen Manufacturers' association has refused to meet union representatives or grant any concessions. A wage agreement retroactive to Oct. 1 last, and running to Dec. 1, 1920, providing a scale of 60 cents an hour for motormen and conductors and 47½ cents for brakemen, has been signed by the Illinois Traction system with its employees, traction officials announced. The men were given a 10 per cent increase over the old scale for August and September. Increases of 40 per cent in the pay of Massachusetts state employees receiving less than $1,200 a year, and of 25 per cent in the pay of those receiving from $1,200 to $2,500 a year, are asked in a petition presented by 500 state employees to Calvin Coolidge governor of Massachusetts. The petition asserts that many unskilled laborers are better paid than state employees under the civil service. A strike of employees of the sheet mills of the Alan Wood Iron and Steel company at Conshohocken, Pa., was settled by the strikers themselves, who took a vote to return to work. The company had promised to consider the men's demands, but not until they first returned to their jobs. One department store employing 50 clerks closed its doors as a result of the strike of members of the Retail Clerks' union at Lynn, Mass. All other stores were doing business as usual, although some had new employees in the strikers' places. The union demands higher wages. UNIONS' RIGHT TO AMALGAMATE President of Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh Takes an Extreme View. WOULD MAKE IT UNLAWFUL New York Newspaper Points Out the Fallacy of His Indictment of Labor Leaders—Centralized Control Has Worked Well. It is an extreme view that Samuel Harden Church, president of the Carnegie institute at Pittsburgh, takes in relation to trade uniong. Speaking of their leaders as "the idle rich of the country" who are seeking to gain "complete control of all the sources of production and distribution," he says "the time has now come when the American Federation of Labor ought to be dissolved" by the same authority that checked capitalistic combination in the Northern Securities case, and that "it should be made unlawful for two or more unions to amalgamate." As Mr. Church's strongest indictment of organized labor applies to its leaders, often mistaken and sometimes violent, probably he will admit on reflection that the multiplication of leadership cannot be regarded as a remedy. But federation does much more than eliminate a great variety of subordinate bosses. It simplifies and stabilizes industrial conditions; places employers as well as employees upon common ground; operates as a check upon unscrupulous competition, and when honorably enforced makes for justice, equality and peace in wide areas. The right and the desirability of labor organizations and collective bargaining being conceded, it is evident that the greater their scope the more serviceable industrially and economically they must be. Nearly all productive enterprises today deal with several labor unions. Although it has failed grievously at times, federation as a rule has harmonized and disciplined the old independent shop organizations that once were a very uncertain law unto themselves. With labor as with men generally, leadership is the most important consideration. The more centralized that control becomes the easier it will be to do business with it when it is well disposed and to correct it by law when it is at fault.—New York World. Union Leader Sentenced. Paul H. Blanchard, former congressional minister of Boston and Tampa, Flat, was fined $500 and sentenced to 30 days in jail by Justice Crouch in the New York supreme court. The judge held Blanchard, who is an organizer of the Amalgamated Textile Workers who have been on strike at Utica for ten weeks, was guilty of contempt of court for violation of an injunction order restraining the strikers from plecketing one of the mills. Blanchard was charged with inviting strikers to pleket with a view to intimidate after such proceedings had been restrained by court order. Labor Party to Reorganize. Recent victories of the labor candidates in the Ontario elections have given a great fillip to the independent labor party in Canada. While it has been in existence for a few years, it has taken little or no part in politics, but at a recent meeting it was decided to reorganize the party, and 400 men made application for admission. An additional 2,000 application cards have been distributed among labor unions in the city. Permanent quarters are to be obtained and the organization is preparing to enter the fields of municipal, provincial and federal elections. New York Labor Troubles Costly. Strikes in New York have cost workers so far this year over $23,000,000 in wages, not including the shorter strikes lasting a few days to a week. Cigarmakers, returning 'to work after four months' strike with only 10 per cent increase, lost $10,000,000 in wages. Workers in longshoremen's strike, returning to work on a prestrike basis of 65 cents an hour and 1 $overtime, have lost $8,000,000, while wage loss to clerks, teamsters, and others connected with tieups is $4,000,000. Wages Up Without Strike. Five large trades of Great Britain, having taken their grievances to the court of arbitration without recourse to strike, have obtained a raise in wages of $1.25 a week. The trades benefited are the engineers, the shipping industry, railway shopmen and heating and domestic engineers. The increases were granted for the reason that considerable increases in prices will take place during the winter. 650.000 1dte in Germany. Approximately 650,000 persons throughout Germany are now drawing the benefit insurance of the unemployed, says an official labor bulletin. Since June, it is stated, the number of workless has gradually decreased, the largest proportion of them being in the big cities. In Berlin they average forty-two of every 1,000 of the population. LESSON IN NEW YORK STRIKE Recent Walkout of Longshoremen Costly in More Respects Than in the Amount of Money Lost. At the rates of pay prevailing before the strike, the New York longshoremen have returned to work. What they lost in wages is estimated at $8,000,000. The losses to which they subjected others were many times that amount, those sustained by the steamship companies exceeding $25,000,000. This insensate "demonstration" lasted a month. It establishes no precedent in that self-assumed obligation were repudiated—that has become a commonplace, but it was otherwise remarkable, if not without a parallel, in the history of labor disturbances. Foremost among those who denounced it were the leaders of the organization to which the strikers belong. When the men walked out, they left every obligation behind them, to the sacrifice of the final vestige. Incidental to their financial rehabilitation should come the cultivation of self-respect. Its loss is beyond computation.—New York Times. Higher Wages for Railway Men. Higher Wages for Railway Men. The board of conciliation appointed to consider the demands for higher wages and better working conditions presented by the employees of the British Columbia Electric Railway company, which owns and operates the street railway systems of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster, and several interurban electric lines, has handed down a unanimous report. In brief, the award recommends a general increase of 5 cents an hour and some changes in working conditions. Some of the latter were asked for by the company and some by the men. The award will probably be accepted by both sides. A peculiar feature is the fact that the company offered as good terms as the award provides for some time before the conciliation board was appointed. Says World's Need Is Production. Referring to the demand of striking coal miners in this country for a 30-hour week, F. M. Parsons of Canada, an employers' delegate, told the international labor conference at Washington that there is greater need for a minimum limit of hours of work, to insure increased production, than for a reduction in the maximum number of hours. "The world is not suffering on account of long hours," he said. "It is suffering on account of lack of food and clothing. There are a hundred million people in the old world on the verge of starvation. Not one-third of the industries of the world are producing to full capacity. Since the introduction of the eight-hour day in France there has been a 20 per cent reduction in production." Offered Voice in Management. Premier Lloyd George has offered the railwaymen's union membership in committee management of the roads with railroad directors and government officials, according to a statement by J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the British National Union of Railroadmen. Mr. Thomas announces that the government also has made a definite offer of new machinery to deal with wages of railwaymen and settlement of disputes. Both offers were made at a conference of the premier with a delegation from the National Union of Railwaymen. The plan will be submitted to the executive of the union for decision. DENIED CITIZENSHIP PAPERS TO STRIKERS Five striking coal miners appeared in the United States District court at Pittsburgh, seeking citizenship papers, Judge Charles P. Orr refused to grant their applications. He said the government had ruled the coal strike was illegal and added, "You could not faithfully take the oath of allegiance and remain on strike in the existing circumstances." Build Toilers' Home in Rome. Forty million lire, or approximately $8,000,000, has been appropriated by the Italian council of ministers to be given as a mortgage to the real estate union for the construction of cottages and other living quarters for the lower middle classes. There is a great dearth of living quarters in Rome, while building is made impossible, cwing to the prohibitive price of materials. Police Surrender Union Charter. The Knoxville (Tenn.) police, the first in the country to affiliate their organization with the American Federation of Labor, by a vote of 6 to 1, have decided to surrender their union charter. The decision to give up the charter, it was said, was due to criticism of the police activities in disorders in connection with the street car strike. To Discuss Mine Nationalization. A special congress composed of representatives of all organized labor was called to meet in London in December to discuss the nationalization of the mines. It will consider what action might be taken to compel the government to bring into effect the recommendation of the Sankey commission that nationalization be effected.

Because of the present unsatisfactory order of social political and economic affairs we feel that it is incumbent upon us to offer substantial remedies thru an intelligent construction political organization. We are further cognizant of the fact that if the present conditions prevail the social economic and political rights of American citizens will be held in immediate eopardy and in the end will be further impaired. Therefore, we have organized the Independent Non-Partisan Political League and hereby adopt the following platform: 1. We believe that any clearly differentiated group is best represented by a member of that group, therefore, we recommend that this principle be applied in the selection of a Representation to Congress from the Second Congressional district and State Senator for the Third Senatorial district. And we further believe that all groups should be represented on the Board of Education and the Board of Health. 2. We advocate a general educational program in economics and politics to insure a fuller knowledge of American institutions and to enalbe the voters to procure the proper kind of representation. 3. We stand for the abolition of all institutions and propaganda that seek to discriminate, seggregate, intimidate and deny equal privileges to American citizens, most specifically, the Hyde Park, Kenwood, Marquette Park-Manor, Oak Park, Englewood and all kindred organizations. 4. We stand for public ownership and the democratic operation of public utilities. 5. We stand for Civil Service free from political influence. 6. We stand for Federal Legislation against lynching, Jim Crowism and disfranchisement with adequate enforcing measures. 7. We stand unqualifiedly for Full Suffrage for women. 8. We stand for the organization of labor into One Union. 9. We are opposed to Boss rule, machine made candidates and sinecure positions. 10. We stand for the election of men to office on the basis of merit and qualification and feel that their official conduct should be closely scrutinized. 11. We are unalterably opposed to vice immunity-privileges and graft. 12. We stand for better housing conditions and cheaper rentals. 13. We believe that our ordinovus relation to city contracts should be scrupulously enforced and not subject to patronage abuses. 14. We favor the employment of more effective means to have cleaner streets and alley in all districts populated by working people. 15. We favor extension of free milk and infant welfare stations into all districts. 16. We favor the establishment of a well-equipped Public Library and a Public Park within the district bounded on the north by 31st; on the south by 37th St., on the west by State St., and on the east by the Lake. 17. We endorse the principle of a 100 per-cent true and genuine Americanism. "No Old Crowd Leadership". Slogan of Alpha Phi Alpha. The most enthusiastic meeting ever held in the confines of the Windy City convened at Wendell Phillips High School, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 sharp. The spacious platform was dignified with the entire delegation of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Cars were lined up on 39th Street for nearly half a mile. Before Dr. Geo. C. Hall, chairman of the meeting called for order the hundreds of citizens who are disgusted at the old school leaders were packed like sardines in corridors and aisles to get a hearing of the New Negro who came from all parts of the Globe to represent this August body. Hundreds turned away at 4:10 for every inch of available space was taken. The ushers had a real task to keep the anxious throng from the doors. Hundreds were turned away. Those who were fortunate enough to get in were not disappointed if their clamorous applause had any significance. Hon. E. J. Scott, Sec. and Treas. of Howard University spoke for forty minutes on the subject of the "Advent of the THE CHICAGO WHIP Negro in Big Business". He dealt principally on the need of more small enterprises and gace some interesting statistics on the relative proportions of business and professional men in the two races to prove his contention. Lucius McGhee Stampedes Meeting. Hon. I. McGhee, Gen. Vice-president was then introduced, and in his original way, told the audience that he had a real treat in store for them. He is not a super-man nor is he a perfect one excuse there is no such thing as being perfect unless it is to be a perfect fool. The audience with growing anticipation was thrown into a receptive mood to receive the message from the "Black Edmond Burke." McGhee was then introduced and in five minutes the house was in an uproar, several times during his thoughtful and constructive speech he was interrupted by cheers of approval which lasted from 10 to 15 minutes. Among the salient points he drove home to his, was that in order to lay a foundation to erect a racial structure that would be sufficiently tall and stable to immune the race from lynching; Jim Crow cars; injustice in any form—it was necessary to drive the old time cringing, haunting hand leaders into oblivion. Week's Best Editorial from New York Call. That 100 per cent Americanism. How glibly the professional "patriots" roll the phrase "100 per cent Americanism" under their tongues, and yet if asked what is meant by it no two of them could give the same answer. It is an elusive phrase behind which may be anything from a real fondness for the United States and its historic traditions to the dirtiest motives that ever possessed human beings. The exploiter who decorates his office and plant with the American flag may have been selling an article for $50 which cost him $5 to produce. A contractor, through one of those "cost plus" arrangements with the government, may have swindled the government out of vast sums of money. In fact, thousands of these leeches drove hard bargains and fleeced the masses during the past five years. Now it is certain that practically every one of these fleecers and swindlers was active in "patriotic" work during the period of hostilities. They could not possibly keep out of it without inviting suspicion of their "loyalty." Besides, the man who is lining his pockets with lucre at such periods is all the more inclined to play the game. It pays well. He can afford even to subscribe liberally to al kindsl of war activities. It gives him prestige and standing in addition to the handsome wads of cash he pulls down every day. The more vociferous he is in his "patriotism" the more will he be appreciated by his fellows. Yet this type is a scoundrel and a faker and there were thousands like him during the war and they are still with us. They are among those who boast of their "100 per cent Americanism." Among them will be found the most vicious antagonists of everything "radical." They want no change in the social, political and economic arrangements by which they have been able to amass their fleecings. They want to continue to "cash in" on the current "Americanism" and anything that disturbs it is an affront to their "patriotism." Now it is this gang and the motley collection of lawyers and professional men who are more or less dependent on this class that either lead or inspire leadership in this crusade for "100 per cent Americanism." Those of the sincere and honest masses who really feel some sort of ill-defined reverence for the country have nothing to do with the formulation of the current propaganda. This is left to the servile editors, the bankers, the brokers, contractors and profiteers who have learned how to make "patriotism" pay. Thus it is seen that the phrase "100 per cent Americanism" conveniently includes an honest rank and file and a sinister brood of fakers and fleecers. The two groups have something entirely different in mind, one a sincere idealism, the other cold, callous cash. The fakers speak in terms of the rank and file's idealism, but never forget their money tills. The honest masses do not think at all; they feel, and are the victims of their emotions. For that reason their emotionalism is linked with something that desecrates everything they stand for. If membership in these "Americanizaton" movements and "patriotic" drives required that no man who had profiteered would be admitted, much of the force back of them would be absent. Disturb the gains of the fakers and the percentage of vocal and paper "patriotism" would fall much below the current rate of 100. (Reprint by request.) Some imaginative, dramatic novelists and scientists have seen fit to describe the presence of one-sixteenth or more Negro blood within one's veins as the crimson stain. They say "crimson" because all blood is of that color, and they say "stain" because of its origin from the black race, which they consider inferior, uncalled and unfit. They have never considered fairly what part the crimson stain or miscegation has already played in the "one great American problem." The problem of the crimson stain, the Octoroon, the Quadroon and the Mulatto is the one problem that American Caucasian Civilization has not grasped. It is inevitable and like Banquo's ghost, it is forever present. It is to be reckoned with and it is to be feared. The main separate and distinct; that God American white man hsa, on all occasions, consistently asserted that the white man's blood should not and would not be contaminated and defiled by the infusion of Negro blood. He has said that the races must reintended them. The propaganda that the American white man carried over to France was along the line of thou to France was along the line of thought that racial contact caused by the white race to degenerate and for that reason the womanhood of France should recognize the American lines of social demarcaion. The idea of racial purity is a scientific anamoly. All races are to some extent by-products, extracts and confusions of different races. The history of civilization proves that the denizens of the world are mongrel races. There is no such thing as racial purity. A portion of the American white is not pure. The blood of America today is as confused as the tongues of Babyblon, as heterogeneous as mince pie, as conglomerated as Joseph's coats. The American white race sits Why You Buy The Whip--- Because it's the champion of the right of the new negro. Because in the columns of the Whip you find true news, accurate news,and news while its news. Because the lash of the Whip to those who are wrong is relentless. on the throne of theirs great republic; the hold the strings around the great capital. They are leaders of a new civilization in this, a new country. Great is their power, great are their achievements, great are their rulers. They pace lethargic and apathetic races that follow their train. Yet in all their transcendant glory and honor, they have failed to reckon with the third and fourth generation. The sins of their fathers have given a transitory result that mocks the claim of race purities, and riles cmwyp of race purities, sneers at race pride, winks at race prejudice, and riles the idea of degeneracy. That force, cunning and evasive, is the problem of the white-black man. In the United States today there are over 1,000,000 mulattoes, octo-roons and quadroons, that are so Caucasian in appearance that science is baffled, civilization is double-crossed and yet America seems asleep. Ninety-five per cent of these hybred people have gone over on the other side. They look like white people; they talk like white people. They work in white men's jobs. They associate with white people; they marry white women, but they always think as Negroes. The American negro has an entirely different psychology from that of the white man. Conditions force it upon him. He is not allowed to think as an American, but as an American Negro. The stigmatized mind of the American Negro is the real curse of American prejudice. That the mind of the ex-colored man always remains colored is admitted by all woh follow the color line, the fear of his ultimate disclosure, the fear of fate's hands on his children, who sometimes are Negroid, the love for his old playmates and associates, the memeory of the old insults and indignations and the knowledge that his fellows are still suffering, keeps his mind forever colored and the spark of loyalty for his colored progenitors from ever dying. There is another type of Mulattoes that lead Hyde and Jekyll existences; today white, tomorrow black. These individuals with uncanny instincts always seem to find out the sinister intrigue of the white man and forewarns and therefore remains the Negro. The activities of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Associations, and the plans of the white rioters were exposed through these Jekylls and Hydes. America's eyes are closed. The need no fear of social equality or Negro domination. The real fear is the crimson stain. Many sit in high places Many who sit in high places are stained. It is claimed that three senators now in office, two governors and two representatives are known by many colored people to be stained. The fabric of America must indeed be soiled. The secrets of American finance and government are known by ex-colored. The bourbon South receives ex-colored men within their undefiled and unsuilled homes. The hospitality of the South's table is shared by the ex-colored and the black Jekyll and They come back to us and wink knowingly. The sins of American sires are being visited on the third and fourth generation. The Mulattos and Octooroons are planting seeds in America's most fertile soil. If black blood causes degeneracy, America is endangered and is powerless to prevent it. How can you tell who is a Negro? The Southerners tell our ex-colored men they never miss and they the "colonel" is missing then. The Negro need have no fear of annihilation in America. Great nature has acted contrarywise. There is but one problem after all, and the ais the problem of brotherly love. HEALTH HINTS Dr. H. A. Massey. HEADACHES. Headaches (migraine) are diffuse pains in various parts of the head not confined to any area or any one nerve, but is generally attended with many symptoms. The term headache is the manifestation of an irratation of sensory nerve-fibres caused by derangement of pressure or tension, inflammation toxic or reflex disturbances. Headaches are organic or functional. The increasing frequency with which this common and intensely agonizing malady occurs is brought about by serious errors of health rules. It has been said, "What we, rob nature of, we pay dear for". Being true it has been proven that in all forms of headaches are distressing because of the periodicity of its recurrence, inadequate elimination of an excrementitious substance, and that the predisposition to attacks, are due almost solely to an habitual incapacity to expell this substance. The capacity of those who are subject to sick headaches is so deficient that an accumulation of this substance, which is toxic becomes chronic in form as to the common ills and at regular intervals. The causes may be due to heredity which plays an important part in 90 per cent of all cases. Women being most affected. Organic cerebral diseases, congestions, anemia of the brain, functional nervous disorders, toxic conditions, derangement of the stomach and liver, reflexes causes as eye-strains, nasal diseases, bad ventilations, anaemia, tumors, ear diseases, gastritis, constipation and high blood pressure. Organic headaches are commonly persistent, varying from time to time in intensity. It interferes with sleep, aggravated by mental and physical efforts, excitement, alcohol and anything that tends to increase congestion. uFctional headaches are those due to other causes. Distribution of headaches, the pains are usually bilateral, maybe front, back, side, temporal, vertical or diffuse, but most commonly is the frontal than the diffused, the often shift from one part of the head to another and not always confined to regions limited by anatomical boundaries. Varieties of Headaches 1. As to character of pain it may be Pulsating or throbbing, due to symptomatic circulatory disturbances. 2. Dull and heavy — due to a toxaemia and is generally frontal. 3. Binding or constrictive, described as that of a tight band around the head.—This headache is due to hysteria and neurasthenia. 4. Burning or sore—form a headache diagnostic of anemia rheumatism. 5. Boring or sharp. These headaches are symptomatic of hysteria or allied conditions, they are usually localized and feel as if a nail were being driven into the head. Headaches may be slight, continuous, occasional or may last for days or weeks. Persistent is characteristic of organic headaches as occur in tutors or abscesses result from excesses in tobacco, alcohol, syphilis, concussion or sunstroke. (To be continued.) TYPHUS FEVER. Butonic Plague, a rare and practically unknown disease to citizens of the United States was discussed last week. This week another infectious disease just as rare to the citizens of the United States, and almost as deadly as the Plague, will be discussed, Typhus Fever. In discussing these now rare and deadly diseases two facts stand out prominently—1st That the people are living under more sanitary conditions and more favorable surroundings. 2nd That the science of medicine has advanced to a most wonderful extent. Typhus Fever is an infectious disease known as Spotted, Camp, Jail, Ship, Malignant Fever; these names because of the nature and places where this disease occurs most frequently. A brief review of the history of Typhus will show that is was first described by Carradi in 1083, and Jacobus de Partibus in 1463. Fracastorius described an epidemic which occurred in Italy in 1505 and 1508. He described another epidemic which occurred in Italy, twenty years later under the name of Morbus Lenticularis. In 1524 and 1530, the disease spread from Italy to France, Spain, Germany and Sweden. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, England as well as Europe proper was affected by this dreaded disease. In the 19th Century armies of the French Republic were carriers of the Contagium of Typhus Fever. Napoleon lost more men by this pestilence than by armies of his enemies. Typhus Fever was found in the Armies during the Crimean War in 1854-56. During the war of Russia and Turkey—1877-78, 100,000 men fell victims of this disease with more than 50,000 deaths in the Russian Armies alone. During this same 19th Century five epidemics broke out in Ireland and spread to England, the most severe occurred in 1846 when more than one million cases were reported in England alone. The Spaniards brought this disease to Mexico. In the United States it was first reported in New England in 1807, Philadelphia in 1812 and 1836. The disease in this country when seen was so mild that many thought it was not the same disease as Brill in 1910 reported 221 cases which he observed in New York, which he later noted was a mild form of Typhus. There were no cases reported during the Civil war. During the recent World War the disease broke out and spread like wild fire from the Danube to the Greek frontier, one of every five of the inhabitants fell victims, (total habitation estimated at two and one half millions.) There were 135,000 deaths, 30,000 were among the 70,000 Austrian prisoners. The parasite of this disease is not known. Unsanitation, over-crowding, poor ventilation are the principal predisposing causes. The contagium is conveyed by the body louse (pediculus). In combatting this disease Medical science has tried to eliminate all poorly ventilated, over-crowded places. Because of this and other diseases special care should be taken to keep the body free from lice. Whale Oil Whale oil does not come from the whale alone. The swordfish and halibut are a large source of whale oil. Orientals Eat Sea Cucumbers The sea cucumbers, which isn't a vegetable but a living creature, is a table delicacy in China, Japan and other parts of the orient.
