OSCAR DEPRIEST SUSPECTED! Ex-Alderman On Trial Again A MILLION LASHES FROM "THE WHIP" OSCA People to be and Jurors Negroes to secute People to be Judges and Jurors. New Negroes to Prosecute. --- Vol. 2.—No. 5 OSCAR DEPRIEST SUSPECTED. "People's Leader" to be questioned for Acts that the People do not council. Oscar DePriest, Ex-alderman and Leader of the People's Movement is being sought by the people especially those of his organization to explain, by what authority did he consolidate the People's Movement Club with the Regular 2nd Ward Republican Organization. The People's Movement Club built up along Cosmopolitanism having the socialization idea and was supposed by the people, secondarily an independent political organization. It was and is capable of doing wonderful good in the Second Ward. Harmony Scheme Raises Question. It has been well-known that the Political Bosses of the large corporations have spent large sums of money in the colored ward. The People's Movement Club fought the scheme of politics and almost elected DePriest alderman as an independent candidate. On the night of December 4th the Politicians gave a $2,000.00 Chicken Dinner calling it a Harmony Dinner The Bosses and their Rubber Stamps were in evidence upon that occasion, and it was stated that all differences were settled and the People's Movement Club had entered hand in hand with the Bosses and the Money Machine. People Amazed and Dumbfounded The people immediately became suspicious and the question has been Richmond, Virginia Objects to Colored Census Takers Richmond, Virginia Objects to Colored Census Takers In Richmond, Virginia, several residents of the exclusive Barton Heights made complaints against Negro census enumerators who had been assigned to canvass the homes of that section. They were of the opinion that white enumerators only should be assigned to their homes and threatened to call a big mass meeting to protest the matter. Supervisor Bocock who was in charge of that territory said that the Government made no distinction between white and black enumerators and those showing credentials stating their mission were representatives of the United States Census Bureau and must receive consideration as such. Attorney A. L. Williams Battles For Riot Victims At'ty Williams is leaving no stone unturned to see that relatives of those colored people who were killed in the riot, get their compensation from the country. Claims amounting to $99,000 are in his hands and he has brought all pressure to bear on officials to have trials without delay. At'ty William's unselfish spirit and ability have won for him commendation from all sides and great confidence is expressed for a successful issue in all of the cases. The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY raised who caused us to be mixed up in this? Who told DePriest to join in any Chicken Harmony Affair? What part do the people play in their Ward activities? Who knows whether we will support Vice Immunity, Privileges and Boss Rule again? DePriest Scored It is a matter of Common Knowledge that DePriest has openly declared that he would never sit on the same Platform with Alderman Jackson and Alderman Anderson. He has avowed that they were "haha picked" leaders and constantly referred to them as "two Monkeys". It is also known that DePriest was at sword's point with Edward Wright, candidate for ward CommitteeWoman. His organization has absorbed those sentiments also. What Lo! DePriest is suddenly seen harmonizing and indorsing these much abused, but well used Politicians. The People are heard muttering and mumbling to themselves and in open forum the question has been raised—Does DePriest take us for dummies? Suspicion in the Air. The people suspect that DePriest has pulled something over them and it is rumored that a great fight is to be staged within the confines of the organization known as the People's Movement. Oscar DePriest is on trial again. People to be the judges and jurors this time—and the NEW NEGRO will prosecute. "Negro State Impossible"--Brooklyn Eagle It has been interesting to note what the Press has said about the plan outlined by Dr. Moses Madden of St. Louis before the House Judiciary Committee, for a new State on the Rio Grande, partly from territory that Texas might be willing to yield, partly from country that Mexico might cede to be inhabited exclusively by Negroes. We quote from the Brooklyn Eagle: "Most of the Negroes of this country, even Mississippi, Georgia and Arkansas where mob law is at its worst do not want to go to Africa and are not anxious to be segregated in a new state, nor would the South consent to such segregation, for in so far as it is possible to judge, the future save by the past, the successful raising of cotton depends on the supply of Negro labor. "No, the Negro wants to stay where he is, and will stay if he can get the common rights of a human being, security of life and property, jury equality, school equality. Social equality he is willing to wait for. On voting equality he is not insistent. He asks little. It is common sense for the Southern whites to muzzle their mobsters and keep their cotton pickers. But that common sense is the most uncommon kind of sense is proverbial". CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920 King of Ethiopia Will Pay Visit To America African Potentate Coming Here After His Coronation, January 27. The King of Ethiopia is coming to Washington! Prior to the king's coming, an Ethiopian Mission will visit Washington with a view to establishing more friendly relations between the Abyssinian kingdom and the United States. The King will be crowned in Ethiopia on January 27th and will leave shortly thereafter for America, to make a tour of leading cities as the guests of local organizations of the Ethiopian Society' of the United States. With the crowning of the king, Ethiopian adherents in this country are asked to display the Ethiopian national colors—red, green and yellow. The Rev. R. D. Jonas, of Philadelphia, is in Washington as forerunner to the coming mission. He will later visit other cities and arrange for reception groups to receive the king. The Ethiopian kingdom is the only black people that has never been conquered by the white man, according to Mr. Jonas, who appeared last week before the House Judiciary Committee when the question of segregation of the negroes was under consideration. Negroes of this country, not content with the lot the United States affords them, will be invited to migrate to Ethiopia. The kingdom has a treaty with the United States made during the presidency of Roosevelt. The present king will confer with Washington officials regarding future commercial relations between the two countries. James Weldon Johnson Jimcrowed in Washington, D. C. James Weldon Johnson who is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee which is investigating race relations, was Jim-Crowed in the Library of Congress the other day when the subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Curtiss Resolution. Mr. Johnson during a period of recess sat down in the restaurant of the Library of Congress expecting to have luncheon before the hearings in the afternoon. He was refused service. The matter was appealed to the superintendent of grounds and buildings who confirmed the refusal. This, of course, put into effect Jim-Crow regulations in the District of Columbia. The matter was taken to Senator Wadsworth of New York who promised to give his prompt attention as soon as the case had been presented in writing. Colored Man Foils Plot To Murder Sheriff Petersburg, Va., Jan. 25.—The alertness of a colored trusty, A. C. Coleman, spoiled a plot to murder the jailer, L. C. Harris and liberate from the city jail six prisoners, with terms ranging from 5 to 20 years in the State Penitentiary. Coleman noticed the suspicious actions of the men and by placing himself in a place of vantage, overheard the plot. He at once informed the officials who at once searched the prisoners and discovered a crow bar, two knives and a black jack. Westbrook Sounds Warning! Register Feb.3 If you fail to register February 3rd, 1920 you will disfranchise yourself and cannot vote February 24th, 1920 for a representative in the City Council. The alderman of a ward represents the people of the ward, assists in the making of laws to govern the city; obtains better streets and cleaner alleys; votes against higher car fares and obtains better transportation facilities for the citizens — he should take such measures as will prevent their homes being destroyed by BOMBS and secure to his constituents the inalienable right to live in peace and security in all parts of the city; to put out of business any group of persons or associations who openly discriminate against citizens in the purchase of homes like the A. B. Kyde Park and Kenwood Associations; is subject to the needs of his ward and not named and controlled by the Bosses. No voice has been raised in the City Council against the wrongs being perpetrated against citizens on account of their color alone. No other ward in the entire city has been neglected like the SECOND WARD. If you want a representative who will secure for you the full rights as enjoyed by other citizens and the protection which they receive then elect to office your own candidate who will be responsible to you for his conduct in office and vote for RICHARD E. WESTBROOKS, People's Candidate for Alderman 2nd Ward. Under the new law all registered men and women voters regardless of party affiliations can vote for him. Tribute To Westbrook Vote for Westbrooks. He will guard your legal right, aid you on your upward flight, ne'er forget you in your plight. Then vote for Westbrooks. By M. Jordan Native Prestige In Africa Based On Most Wives. Presbyterian Missionary Tells of Life in the Jungle. A man's standing in Africa is based on the number of wives he has. The biggest problem on the "dark continent" today is that of the women. They are the abject slaves of the men. It's considered dishonorable for a man to work. This is the statement of B. M. Schlotter, a Presbyterian missionary, who is spending his vacation in Houston after a service of four years in the Belgian Congo. Mr. Schlotter was engaged in field work throughout his four years in Africa, with headquarters at Luebo. In speaking of his experiences Mr. Schlotter said, "The natives live entirely by superstition. Everything that happens is given some uncanny significance. If a party goes hunting and fails to bring in game it is blamed on some one. If lightning strikes a tree some innocent person is selected by the tribal medicine man as the cause of it, and he is punished or fined. "The natives are absolutely groping in darkness. They want to learn but they don't know how. The influence of Christianity is going a long way to wipe out polygamy. Then, too, the Belgian government has started a system of taxation on wives, and that has done a great deal to abolish the evil. Low Whites Worst. "The worst influence on the natives is that of low class white people in the large centers. The people there are always noisy and lawless, but out in the country the natives are very simple and quiet, but extremely ignorant. The natives have no home life. They live in mud huts and wear primitive clothes. The home life of the missionaries sets an example for them, and they readily pattern after it. When a villager dies the nearest relative furnishes food for the festival that follows, and it lasts until the food is exhausted. They have a tree of everlasting life in every village which is supposed to make them immune from death. Kansas Governor Asked NotTo Extradite Negro The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that it had telegraphed Gov. Allen af Kansas requesting that he postpone the extradition from Kansas of Robert Hill, alleged leader of Negroes in the Arkansas race riots. "Hill cannot receive a fair trial in Arkansas", says the statement. — "Juries from which the colored men were excluded, sentenced five colored men to death in a trial lasting only 45 minutes. Witnesses were not put on the stand in their behalf. Governor McCall of Massachusetts in 1918 denied extradition of John Johnson, negro, to West Virginia on similar grounds. "The Association announces that it has taken steps to employ counsel to oppose extradition of Hill to Arkansas. RACE SEPARATION ASKED. Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 26.Alderman C. W. Lanerdale proposes a city ordinance requiring street car companies of the city here to have separate entrances for white and colored people. The whites, it seems, object to using the same door of the street car that the colored people use. Riot of Last July Colored Teacher Predicted Causes Strike Mrs. Mamie Wesley of 3140 Forest Avenue, the wife of John Wesley, former dining car employee of the Chicago and Alton Railroad filed suit for $25,000 against Jessie Kelsey, who she states is Superintendent of the Dining Car Service and John Murray, General Manager of the same railroad. In her declaration, filed by her attorney, Richard E. Westbrooks, it is charged that Kelsey and Murray assaulted Mrs. Wesley during the absence of her husband. Mrs. Wesley stated that Kelsey sent a note by Murray, who pretended to be delivering a check due her husband for wages. Kelsey stated in the note that Murray possessed a great infatuation for colored women and for Mrs. Wesley to treat him alright. Mrs. Wesley ignored the note after glancing at its contents, then Murray attempted to embrace her, stating that money was no object to him as he was in need of loving, his wife having left the city for the summer. Mrs. Wesley immediately ordered him from the house and told him that her honor was worth more to her than money. Murray gave a fictitious name of Jack Monroe. Mr. Wesley had been sent east to remain Chicago woman saw riot and sees another one. Hears God speak. Mrs. Rebecca Harverson, 4331 Langley ave., claims last July while on her way to prayer meeting a voice spoke to her and told her to tell the people there would be much blood shed in the city between the two races and for her to warn her people to be prepared. She was further told that she would walk through the riot region and not be hurt. It so happened that Mrs. Harverson was on the west side and no street cars running during the worst day of the riot and she did walk from there to her home on the South side and did pass through on foot the worst part of the riot district, and was unhurt although she was accosted. Many things that she spoke of came out just as she said. The Prophetess claims to be a Divine Healer, and that God tells her many things that are going to happen to the race in the near future. SEIZE LIQUOR AND ARREST COLQRED WOMAN. Greenville, Va., Jan. 25.—Six hot water bags, filled with liquor were found in the grips of Eva Dodson, colored, who was arrested early yesterday morning on Southern train, No. 42 by city policemen J. O. Turally and J. D. Wade. The woman was brought to the Greenville police station and fined $100.00 by the recorder at noon. The woman, who lives in Greenville and who left the city only two or three days ago, said that she had b. to Mount Meig, Ga., and that she procured the liquor there. REAL NEWS LIVE NEWS WORLD NEWS NEWS WHILE IT'S NEWS PRICE FIVE CENTS CTED! officials Seek auch Race woman during the summer, which was known to Kelsey the Superintendent. Mrs. Wesley immediately wired her husband to come home, and upon his arrival inquired of Kelsey the name of the man who had insulted his wife. Kelsey said that it was some bum and that he did not know his name. The Wesley's did not give up the search and although July 3rd, Wesley's pay check dwindled to two and three dollars until he was compelled to leave the service. He was informed by Kelsey that he could get any run that he wanted if he would obtain the note from his wife, which he refused to do. After more than a year of dilligent inquiry Mrs. Wesley located Murray in his office. He immediately, upon seeing her, endeavored to avoid the meeting. The papers were mysteriously taken from the office of the attorneys but the original note sent by Kelsey remained safely in the vault. The case will be tried in the superior Court and has been assigned to Judge John J. Sullivan. Atty. Westbrooks is prepared to make a strenuous fight in this case fully believing that the virtue of our women must be protected from such abuse and that the offenders must pay. July Colored Teacher Causes Strike Miss Effie Stewart, colored substitute teacher, defied by students, upheld by parents. Because Effie Stewart a substitute was used in the absence of the regular teacher, who was out on account of illness, the students in the Eighth Grade of Altgeld School, Seventy-First and Loomis Sts., refused to obey her and threatened a general strike. Miss Stewart was put in charge in the regular way, by Principal J. W. Brooks. As soon as the Principal left disorder started and all the efforts of the teacher to restore calm were to no avail, and some of the boys arose and openly ignored the orders of the teacher and urged the students to disobey her. Miss Stewart sent Paul Buissono, 1406 W. 73rd Street, to summon the principal to the room, he refused and left the room, she then called Genevieve Lundy, 6744 Laflin St., to go and she also refused and went home. The principal promptly suspended the two pupils, whose parents with the parents of a number of the other students of that grade have taken up the matter. The matter has been placed before district Superintendent John A. Long. On the following day there was no school for the Eighth Grade of Altgeld School, as their teacher was still sick and Miss Stewart was sent to another school to fill the vacancy of another teacher and there was no more substitutes available.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today announced that its representative would appear in Washington at the hearing on the Graham Sedition Bill to protest against the enactment of it. The following statement was issued today by the Association: "One of the provisions of the bill is designed to exclude from the mails Negro publications protesting against the flagrant injustices to which the race is subjected. Liberty loving colored citizens, as well as white, are urged to see to it that this bill does not become a law." Blood Hounds Set On Trail of Colored Man Louisiana Wets Her Appetite. Vicksburg, iMss., Jan. 26.—Malvin Colbone, a 22 year old colored man, who is alleged to have murdered a young farmer, named Arnold yesterday morning near Tullulah, La., was arrested today at Hollyridge, La., and was taken to Monroe, La., for safe keeping. Judge Ramsdell will issue and order for a special term of court to be held at Tullulah in a few days, his intention being to try the case this week. A certain Gault of Crystall Springs and his blood hounds took up the scent of the colored man in and out several stores and at each store the merchant and clerk recalled having seen the fugitive. He was traced to the railroad station where he bought his ticket to Hollyridge. The bloodhound trail aroused much excitement in Tullulah, where the whole town turned out to follow the trail of the man. It was a typical southern scene; the bloodhounds held in leash by a hard and crusty "cracker" the blood thirsty mob that followed, whetting its lips much like the bloodhounds, as thirsty for blood of the prey as the dogs themselves. Interest is now centered on the outcome of the trial. It is expected that the colored man will be dealt with summarily. Drinks and Smokes At Age of 102 Years San Antonio, Texas Jan. 26.—Nicholas Boubel, who celebrated his 102nd birthday a few days ago, is not worried about prohibition, as he has enough on hand to run him the balance of his days. Mr Boubel is colored and was born in St. Martinique. He came to Texas 75 years ago. He has lived in San Antonio for the past 60 years. His rules of life are as follows: Retires at eight o'clock every night and never sleeps less than twelve hours. Eats nothing but nutritious vegetables and meats. Smokes only cigars and pipe, using a can of tobacco every day. Drinks all the good liquor that he can get. Reads daily newspapers, fiction and history and does not use eye glasses. Never worries. Believes in plenty of work with needed rest afterward.

Dumas, Ark., Jan. 22. — That Arkansas has become fully aware of a change in the sentiment on the part of the colored population was attested today with the arrival of 128 soldiers from Camp Pike. 50 Civil officers from the surrounding counties and three posses of 15 men each. The arrival of this small army followed closely upon the heels of an attack by a number of colored men upon Sheriff J. H. Bredlove, after the sheriff had refused to release a colored prisoner. The colored man it is alleged had stolen a number of hogs. On the face of it, accusation seems ridiculous. However, the sheriff in company with four other armed men, entered the colored settlement, like an unwilling army. They walked heedlessly through groups of people standing on corners, crowded over children in the streets and with clanking arms went to the home of the Negro. News quickly spread and in a few moments a group of armed Negroes had gathered as the Deputy was leading the prisoner handcuffed out of the house and dragging him by the coat collar down the streets. A Colored man whose name I was unable to learn stepped up and with a drawn Winchester, and in a business like manner demanded his release. Sheriffs ignores demand; opens fire. The sheriff looked contemptously at the men and did not answer, instead called to his men to "drop the nigger". The colored men withdrew across the street where others were standing. The deputies then opened fire aiming above the heads of the Negroes. The colored men dropped to their heels and answered back also shooting over the heads of deputies and prisoner. The Deputies left the prisoner lying in the street and retreated pell mell through the back of the prisoner's house and made their escape. The prisoner was released, and triumphantly paraded through the streets of the settlement. When questioned later they laughingly ridiculed the sheriff for fleeing stating that they (the colored men) had been careful to shoot over the heads of the sheriffs to avoid wounding the prisoner. Importance of incident. The incident is of enormous significance and has been recognized as such by Governor Broughs. It shows the spirit of revolt predominating among the Negroes of Arkansas. A spirit directly the consequence of the recent riots of Elaine. That the whites are scared is evident by the hasty precaution taken by the state. The streets of Dumas are worse than State Street in Chicago during the riots there. They more closely resemble Gary during Gen. Woods reign in that city. The reporter remembers vividly the crowded streets and the East St. Louis Riot in 1916. The streets of Dumas are an exact duplicate. Streets crowded with skulking whites who eyed maliciously the militia, even though they knew the malitia was with them. Here in Dumas how similar yet how different. The troops here so far as I can judge are far less lax than those of East St. Louis. There is an active feeling of friction being engendered. Here the crowds are black and seem just as determined to defend their rights as the whites in East St. Louis were to take away the rights of the colored workers in the "yards". I remember seeing in East St. Louis on the day after the riot, one lone Negro being escorted to the bridge by two boys with drawn bayonets. The man seemed scared to death. Today I say one lone white man escorted out of town by the soldiers. He seemed as scared as the man in East St. Louis. A civilian posse from Dumas captured John Welch and Frank Kibbal, two of the ring leaders, before the troops arrived, and when the soldiers met the posse they turned them back to Dumas. WHITES OUT NUMBERED 30 TO 1 Dumas is a village of about 500 inhabitants in the South Eastern part of the state. The district where the trouble is bubbling is isolated and the only white residents are pastors and their families, and a few crews of small saw-mills. The whites are out numbered thirty to one. MORE CANNED GOODS COME. Another car of government canned goods, including several varieties of vegetables and also a quantity of corned beef, arrived from San Antonio Tuesday and will be placed on sale at the city stalls at the market houses as soon as unloaded. "ORGANIZER" OF ARKANSAS COLORED MEN MUST STAND TRIAL. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 26.—Robert Hill, president of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union, the colored organization, which is said to have been responsible for the colored uprising near Elaine, Arkansas, is under arrest in Topeka, Kansas, according to word received here.— Governor Burough today issued requisition papers for the return of Hill. SOUTHERN JUDGE SPEAKS. If there is any part of that blood thirsty, constitution evading and God forgotten Southland that could be called sane, it would more or less include those individuals who in spite of their environment, loss of reputation and criticism have dared to speak a word of truth even though it did concern members of the despised and snubbed race of Negro citizens. In giving honor to whom honor is due, we are forced to consider the bold statement of Judge Cobb a great Georgian of much influence in his state who is in sympathy with the principles of the Democratic Government and makes a statement in one of the most forceful daily papers in the South, namely the Atlanta Constitution. Among other things he said: "One of the greatest if not the greatest evils of the present day is disrespect for authority in every phase of life where authority is to be exercised, especially disrespect for the law and the authorities constituted to enforce the law; and he who arrogates to himself the authority to enforce the law without the sanction of the law, is an enemy to the law and to civilization". "Any man or set of men who condones, approves, or apologizes for the death of a human being by a lawless mob is morally guilty of the murder which the mob has committed. Any man or set of men that fails on all appropriate occasions and times to speak out boldly in condemnation of mob violence does not measure up to the full duties of true citizenship". When our protests can arouse to action such men of distinction who are natives of the offensive section of this commonwealth, we are indeed making some progress, for after all a public spirited man has a great deal to do with law and order. May his tribe increase. To the Editor—Right at the break of day why should we or any one discuss the exodus of the Negro to Africa? We only know of our fatherland by reading. There is not even a yearning of the American to visit the hot region. No broad-minded person would want to live alone; neither would he encourage an independent state of living with self-government within the boundary of the United States. So far as Mexico and Texas are concerned those negroes who want to answer the last roll call at judgment day are individually privileged to abide in those regions. No, the negro is not a wanderer crying to go back home. He has built America. Why seek to send him elsewhere as a tresspasser? It's an injustice! The paramount issue should be justice to establish personal rights and to see that one is not interfered with in the exercise of these rights. We should have peace within the borders of the government, and, above all, we should see to it that peace is preserved as against enemies from without. We are going to stay in America and reap some of the benefits of our labors. We are not like the foreigners seeking naturalization. The kingdom of Israel lasted two hundred and fifty years and was finally overwhelmed by Sargon, King on Assyria, and ten tribes carried into captivity 721 B. C. The kingdom of Judah continued more than a century afterward. But Jerusalem was captured by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, 586 B. C., the population of Judah were torn from their homes to pine in Babylon and the history of the Jews ceased for seventy years. The triumph over Cyrus over Babylonia was followed by an edict by which the Jews were restored to their homes 536 B. C. Under the Greek tongue the Jews secured their national independence. For disobedience General Pompy captured Jerusalem 63 B. C. Also Titus took the city 70 A. D. and the Jews became wanderers. It is not so with the negro. We are "at" home; not rich but honest to our country. Says the poet: If the art rich thou are poor.

CAPE TOWN AND CAIRO LINKED UP BY AIR SERVICE. London, Jan. 29.—Cairo and Cape town, representing the extremes of the African continent have at last been linked up by air service. The British air ministry has announced that the air route over which engineers have spent long months of labor amidst great difficulties, finally is ready for traffic. This means that the time heretofore required to traverse the continent, from ten to twelve weeks, has now been cut down to about one week, and that heretofore secluded sections of Africa will be opened up to the world.

To The Contributors to the Legal Defense for the Arkansas Cases The Association knows that you will be pleased to learn than an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas has been granted in the case of the men condemned to death. Our attorneys inform us that in the case of six of the men they feel assured that the Supreme Court will be compelled to reverse the judgment of the lower court on erres which counsel have found in the records. It is their belief that the lives of these six men have been saved and that those of the others will be. It is hoped that the Supreme Court will hear these cases within the next ninety days. The cases of the eighty men given prison sentences will be taken up when those of the twelve condemned to death have been dealt with. Signed) JOHN R. SHLLADY Secretary.

A certain Senator, deploring the dishonest methods of one type of business man, once said, with a smile: "It all brings back to me a dialog I once heard in a Southern school. 'Children,' said the teacher, 'be diligent and stedfast, and you will succeed. Take the case of George Washington, whose birthday we are soon to celebrate. Do you remember my telling you of the great difficulty George Washington had to contend with? 'Yes, ma'am,' said a little boy. 'He couldn't tell a lie.'" "I want a pound of butter." "The best?" "What was the last I had?" "The best." "Give me a opund of the other." Father—"How many people work in your office?" Son (Government employee)—"Oh, abou half!" "Why do they call Santa a myth?" "I don't know," said the little girl who lisps. "I thought 'maybe it was short for 'Mither.'" Mrs. Bacon—"Do you remember the night you proposed marriage to me, Henry?" Mr. Bacon—"Oh yes, very well deed." "I just hung my head and said nothing, didn't I?" "You did; and that was the last time I ever saw you that way." "I am a student and would like to know if you could take me on as a bricklayer?" "Bricklayer? No! We might start you as an architect with a chance of working you way up." "Say, Bill, you know de diffunce b'tween a prophet and a profiteer?" "No, Sam."

JAPAN OPPOSES FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN CHINA. Advises More Powerful Countries to Look to Their Own Home Trouble Now that China is in rather bad state, having lost her central authority, which has thrown her people into confession, America, who wants to always leave the impression her sympathies are with the weak, wants to snub Japan and ask her to stand back, and seems to entertain the idea that Japan's interest in China is a selfish one in which Japan hopes to gain much at China's expense. American Merchants have spread much propaganda in China against the Japs. The Japs not using propaganda as an instrument of diplomacy are at a disadvantage, as the Chinese do not understand and go to the British and American Councils to induce them to act against Japan. In truth Japan has no desire on any territory in China, and instead wants China's territory preserved for China alone, and she further intends no other country shall menace the territory of China. Japan feels it is their duty to protect their big neighbor for Japan's sake as well as for China's sake. The Japanese would like America to set a better example for them in practicing what they preach, if "America is for the Americans" why is "China for the Chinese." Japan also thinks that America's social and industrial problems are such that she must be greatly neglecting her home work to turn so much attention to China. With so much revolution in the air and the unsettled condition of all the countries, it becomes the most powerful countries to look carefully to themselves and see their own affairs are in order, as the most powerful are not exempt from the dangers that seem to threaten the present age. Hampton Defeats Shaw, 24 to 21. By Charles H. Williams. Hampton, Va., January.—Before a large and enthusiastic crowd of basketball fans, Hampton Institute defeated Shaw University, on Friday, January 16, by a score of 24 to 21. The game was played at the City Auditorium in Raleigh, which is one of the finest basketball courts to be seen anywhere in the country. The Shaw team, playing before its student body, which cheered and plead for victory, gave the spectators the best demonstration of the indoor sport seen in the Capital City. Shaw had defeated every team that has journeyed to Raleigh except the Hampton aggregation, therefore this game was one of great interest. The first half ended with the score 13 to 7 in Hampton's favor. The second half began with playing that electrified the spectators. Time and again they were brought to their feet by the spectacular shooting, particularly of the Shaw team, who made several successful baskets from one end of the court to the other. The Hampton team kept the lead throughout. The game was cleanly played and a fine, sportsmanlike spirit was constantly in evidence. The line-up was as follows: Hampton, 24 Phillips (Captain) R. F. R. F. Phillips (Captain) F. F. Mc Laren C. Bradby R. G. Wright L. G. Freeman Shaw, 21 R. F. Toliver L. F. Cook (Captain) C. Stewart R. G. Lytle L. G.

New York, Jan. 22.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, has asked that an official investigation be made of the informal charges that he was a draft dodger during the world war. The request was made in a telegram received today by Maj. A. J. Brexel Biddle, president of the Army, Navy and Civilian Boxing Board of Control, which, it is understood, will conduct the inquiry asked in the near future. Dempsey points out in his telegram that the A. N. C. B. issued a professional boxers' license to him just prior to his match with Jess Willard, which certified that he had a clean and honorable record as a professional boxer and that he had the full sanction and approval of the board. Dempsey received license No. 2, the first card going to Willard, who then was champion. Follows Board's Orders. The present champion states that he followed implicitly the instructions given him by the representatives of the government in draft matters and denies that he was a draft dodger. He offers to present himself personally before the board or to submit a complete statement of his war activities in affidavit form and agrees to abide by the final decision of the board in its findings. The A. N. C. B. B. has announced that Dempsey's request will be referred to the arbitration committee of that organization for decision as to whether such inquiry should be undertaken. Condemned by Legion. "Since that time a few posts of the American Legion, who are not in any way familiar with my record, adopted resolutions condemning me as a 'draft dodger' in the late war, an indictment whoily unsupported by facts. "What I have done has been to follow implicitly the instructions as given to me by the representatives of the government. The slogan at that time was, "follow the government's instructions."

WOODLAWN POST WANTS Chicago, Ill., Jan. 29. At the meeting of Woodlawn post, American legion, held Jan. 19, at the Woodlawn Trust and Saving bank, the following passed as indicative of the post's attitude toward Jack Dempsey: We, the members of Woodlawn post, American legion, feeling that Jack Dempsey did not play the part that such a man should have played in the recent great war, object to his representing the United States in any capacity now that the war is past. And we go on record, and ask every patriotic citizen to follow in our steps, as opposed to Jack Dempsey as a representative of the United States in the international prize fight; and, also as opposed to public exhibitions by Jack Dempsey, either in person or on the movie film, in any city of the United States. KENTUCKY DERBY TO CARRY ARBER MONEY, QE 499.99 ADDED MONEY OF $30,000 Louisville, Jan. 29. —Matt J. Winn, vice president and general manager of the Kentucky Jockey club, announced here that the Kentucky derby, one of the leading American races, this year will carry $30,000 in added money. Heretofore, it had an added money value of $20,000. This would indicate that the derby displaces the Preakness handicap, which carries $25,000 in added money, as America's leading fixture. Mr. Winn intimated that the probable total value of the race might be in excess of $50,000. JAPANESE JUJUTSU EXPERT MAY STUDY CATCH AS CATCH CAN GAME. Jujitsu Expect to See Bouts. Forges post and the armory may see a famous exponent of wrestling from Japan on the night of the big mats how. Taro Miyake, a jujitsu grapler, under the patronage of Tex Dowd, is in Chicago and may watch the bouts from the ringside. Miyake is what might be called a thirty-third degree Mason in the art, for he is a top notcher, although there are only nine degrees that a wrestler may take in that sport in Nippon, where the game is held in high reverence and is permitted to be practiced only by the classes. Jujutsu is taught in the colleges and universities over there and is never, it is said, performed in purely public exhibitions, such as as are staged in America. A wrestling game much resembling our catch as catch can is the sport of the populace over in the land of cherry blossoms. But jujutsu is the pastime of the cultured and the ordinary fan with the price of admission never gets to see it unless as a servant attending some nobleman.

When an athlete goes in for jujutsu in Japan he goes through a rigid course of training and instruction, extending over several years, and, as he progresses in the art, is given credentials resembling diplomas, which permit his wearing certain styles of dress worn in the ring only by those who can show they have passed the instruction entitling them to this distinction. All the grapplers wear a canvas coat resembling something between a short nightgown and a smoking jacket, with a heavy braided collar. This collar permits of a wrestler being strangled unless he evades his adversary's grip in a match. Up to the sixth degree a white belt is worn by contestants, but in the seventh, eighth and ninth degrees a black belt is worn as an insignia of rank. Miyake has wrestled a number of American grapplers, some at jujutsu and some at catch as catch can. He secured a match with Plestina a year or two ago at Vancouver, B.C., the big Jugo Slav agreeing to try his luck at the Japanese style. After an hour's work and with Marin in the lead by a choke or two and part of an ear, the promoters humanely pried the athletes apart and called it a draw. Miyake thinks maybe he can get another match and win. RIOTING IN EGYPT. Jan. 25th.—It is reported that over 20 Egyptians have been killed and more than 50 wounded in rioting near Cairo. The outbursts are the results of a clash between nationalists who proclaim "Egypt for Egyptians" and British Soldiers. The natives have been disarmed but fought soldiers with sticks and stones, when an attempt was made to break up the demonstration made by the National party. A state of siege has been proclaimed in Tanta a suburw of Cairo, and all natives forced to remain in doors between eight in the evening and 4 in the morning. The natives objected and bitter fighting occurred in many parts of the suburbs. The harsh repression of the English Government is only another example of English Colonial rule which is bound to evictate in disaster for Great Britain GEO. T. KERSEY, D. A. McGOWAN, WM. J.

London, Jan. 26.—An official statement from Delhi, British India, under date of Jan. 21, says that in the Tochi district the Wizari tribesmen continue to refuse to bring in rifles in payment of fines imposed. The Mahsud tribesmen are incessantly sniping pickets, the statement asserts, and have been informed that there will be no cessation of hostilities until fines assessed against them have been paid. "The enemy force has been greatly diminished," the statement continues. "The enemy lost thirty-five dead Jan. 17 and 18, and the village of Naikash was destroyed because the enemy mutilated one of the British dead." ACCIDENTAL GUN SHOT FATAL. Shelby Dixon, colored, a laborer, died in St. Bernard's Hospital today of gun-shot wounds suffered January 15, when a revolver he was holding was accidentally discharged.

Treatment of the Negro Soldier in the Late War. (Continued from last week) WHAT THE NEW EMANCIPA- TION MEANS TO THE NEGRO. The New Emancipation of the Negro must come from within. There must first be the freedom of the social mind of the Negro from the mental domination of the so-called superior race. He must be free to think for his own advancement, and for his own protection. He must learn to feel himself the equal of any man white or black. This is the psychology of the New Negro. He must eat free himself from false leadership, because he is now standing upon a new platform of progress and protection and henceforth he will recognize no individual as a leader who fails to measure up to the standards of the New Freedom. We must free ourselves from the domination of the Old Crowd Leadership; and every man hereafter who calls himself a leader will be required to enunciate his platform, and state his principles. The New Emancipation means that the type of Negro politician who would so out and barter away the rights and liberties of his people for a mess of pottage must go; and he must go if he sits silently by and allows it to be done without protest against it. It means that the Negro leader who advises his people to be patient and quiescent under the persecution and segregation, and lynching, and repression that he endures in this so-called land of the free, must go. It means that the Old Crowd Negro Leader who puts his mouth close to the ear of the political bosses and whippers, that his people are satisfied with present conditions and with the Republican party must go. 1. The New Emancipation means that hereafter no man will be elected to office unless he measures up to the requirements of the New Psychology—unless he commits himself in the open to the program of progress and protection enunciated in the platform of the New Negro. 2. The New Emancipation means that the New Negro will free himself from all obligations to the Republican party unless that party forthwith takes a definite stand upon the question of human rights; and unless the new party platform for 1920 contain a plank in favor of a Federal statute against lynching, against Jim-Crowism in interstate commerce, against the disfranchisement and segregation of American citizens on account of their color. It means that the Republican party must forthwith reduce Southern representation in Congress based upon Negro votes which are counted but never cast in violatoin of the 15th amendment to the constitution of the United States. 3. The New Emancipation means that henceforth the New Negro will beorganized. He will first organize his home for the protection of his own life and his own property. He will organize in religion along constructive lines, and the ministers of the Gospel will feel free to take part in the new program of peace, progress and protection. He will be organized in politics, but under New Crowd Leadership, and his campaigns will be campaigns of education. He will raise his own money from his own people and finance his own campaign; and, on election day every man and woman will walk into the polling booth unfettered, and will vote his own convictions. He will be organized in industry, and demand that the labor unions give him equal opportunity in skilled labor and identical treatment as a member of the organization; and if they refuse him these privileges he will establish his own organization and fight until he be given proper recognition by the American Federation of Labor. 4. The New Emancipation means that the New Negro will patronize his own people in all lines of business and in the trades and in the professions; that he will be less critical of his own; that he will help build up rather than pull down a business brother who is about to fall. And when the history of the new Negro is written posterity will be proud of the record thus made; friction and feeling between blacks and whites will be reduced and will fall of its own weight; men will all be treated and respected as men; there will be but one flag over all and one common country for all; men will then be free to live and work together for the common benefit of all mankind; there will be no North, no South, no black East, no West, but the United States of America for Americans for ever. Huff's Pharmacy has truly shown that this store is "your own Drug Store." The special attention paid to patrons and the personal supervision given to prescriptions has made all who patronize this store feel that indeed it is their "own store." Dr. Huff, the proprietor is widely known as a Mason, Odd Fellow, Forester, Knight of Pythias and staunch supporter of the Chicago Business League, and while identified with these organizations, he has devoted much time in developing a store for service, maintaining an all night service which has been called upon continuously in the last week on account of the great number of "du" cases. Dr. Huff's Drug Store is located at 4118 S. State St., and a call at Oakland 2120, or Oakland 2119 will bring a representative to your door without the extra charge which many druggists impose for this service. His patronage which has grown so largely is handled by capable and efficient help who are always courteous and who are only thinking of your convenience. Such stores as this one of the race that give the best, are one of the best answer to many of the charges laid at the door of the race and Dr. Huff is still planning to make the Huff Pharmacy a greater aid to those who require a druggist's services. The Underground Railroad Previous to the Civil War there was what was known as an "underground railroad" that was applied to a system adopted by many persons in the North for aiding fugitive slaves to escape from their masters and elude the pursuit of those sent to capture them. By furnishing food and shelter, the officials of the "underground railroad" enabled thousands of the slaves of Southern owners to escape to Canada beyond the reach of the Fugitive Slave Law The route of this "railroad" was by means of several branches. It was composed of a chain of friends and houses of refuge for the fleeing negro from Maryland through Pennsylvania and New York, or New England to Canada, and from Kentucky and Virginia through Ohio to Lake Erie or the Detroit river. The arrangements were well understood by the negroes on the the border, and the plan was even understood by those who lived as far away as Southwest Louisiana. The houses where these fugitive slaves were harbored were called "Stations," and the sympathizing white men "station-keepers" or "conductors." If the fugitive successfully eluded pursuit until he reached the first station, he was given a pass to the next station, and energetic friends had means to help him along until he arrived under the protection of the British flag. William Sill, a negro, who styled himself "chairman of the acting vigilant committee of the Philadelphia branch of the Underground Railroad," compiled a huge volume, which is a narrative of the "hardships, hair-breadth escapes, and death-struggles of the slaves in their efforts for freedom," and he also gives "sketches of some of the largest stockholders and most liberal aiders and advisers of the road." Men of reputation in the North were engaged in this work. Theodore Parker was one of its managers, and Thurlow Weed would sometimes turn away from his political maneuvers" to give aid and comfort to a runaway slave." Horace Greeley, the eminent newspaper editor, said he knew politicians who would openly proclaim the duty of law-abiding citizens to assist in the recovery of fugitive slaves, yet who would secretly contribute money to be used in furthering their escape to Canada. The operations of this system of helping fugitives was occasionally referred to by the newspapers, and one Northern journal reported with glee that it learned from one of the conductors that travel over his line was rapidly increasing. The number of fugitives who escaped, by means of the Underground Railroad into the free States annually exceeded one thousand. The number of arrests of fugitives, of which an account was had, from the passage of the 1850 law to the middle of 1856, was only two hundred. Levi Coffin was commonly styled the President of the Underground Railroad, and he claimed to have been actively engaged in the business for thirty-three years, and to have received into his hands an average of 100 fugitives annually. Prof. Siebert, in his exhaustive work on the subject, gives the names of 3,211 "agents, stationkeepers and conductors." He credits Daniel Gibbons of Lancaster, Pa., with having aided 1,000 fugitives to reach Canada and, Thomas Garrett claimed to have aided 2,700 to make their escape. After a very successful visit, Col. Otis B. Duncan returned to Springfield last Thursday taking with him a letter requesting authority for the muster-in of Headquarters Company, Captain James C. Hall, Commanding, the Supply Company, Captain Lloyd G. Wheeler, Commanding, and Company B., Captain Stuart Alexander, Commanding. These companies have succeeded in filling their quota and the muster-in will take place at the Armory on Wednesday night, February 11th. Colonel Duncan has also made the following recommendations for promotion and appointment: To be Captain, William S. Bradden; to be Captain and Dental Surgeon, Park Tancil; to be Captain, 1st Lieutenant Harry L. Allen; to be First Lieutenants, Michael H. Browning and Anderson F. Pitts; to be Second Lieutenant, Armour Henderson. The Annual Military Ball, which will take place on Thursday night, February 12th (Lincoln's Birthday) promises to be one of the most successful affairs of the season. All soldiers and former soldiers have been invited to attend in uniform. Several ladies committees will be appointed within the next few days. Announcements are out for the wedding of Miss Hattie Holliday and Captain James C. Hall, our genial Adjutant. The wedding reception will be Wednesday, February 11th, 1920, at the residence of Mrs. Mary M. Holliday, 4407 Wabash Avenue. Captain Hall has seen many years of service in the regiment and during the late war was decorated with the French Croix de Guerre for gallant conduct in action with the enemy. Captain Robert L. Chavis who has been on a visit to Kentucky for the past two months, will arrive in the city on February 1st and take active command of Company F. Lieutenant Colonel John H. Patton, Captains James F. Lawson, Lloyd G. Wheeler and Park Tancil, our Dental Surgeon, and Lieutenant Louis C. Washington, all of whom have been on the sick list, have recovered and are "back on the job". The members of the regiment are proud of the progressiveness of our Dental Surgeon, Park Tancil, who has opened the most modern and up-to-date Dental Parlor in the city.

Hervey of West Virginia, of a little more than $9,000. Mr. Hervey was a friend of the work of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute for fifteen years and it is gratifying to note the faith he had in the work. This institution was founded by William H. Holtzclaw and his wife, Mary E., both graduates of the Tuskegee Institute. It was started seventeen years ago in the open air for want of buildings, in Hinds County, Mississippi, where at that time, there were 13,000 negroes who could not read and write the English language. It has steadily grown until it now has nearly 600 pupils and is well established on a farm of a thousand and seven hundred acres of land with its own railroad station, electric light plant, water works and steam heat, substantial buildings and considerable apparatus is for teaching industries. Its property is valued at $150,000. During the sixteen years of its existence it has sent out more than a thousand young people more or less educated through its various courses. The legacy already mentioned will be very helpful in the new era which now seems to be dawning upon the Institution. AfricanM.E.Church Delegates in Session The quadrennial session of the delegates and alternates of the Atlanta conference of the sixth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal church was held Wednesday at the residence of Rev.

THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO PAST AND PRESENT By LIEUT. J. E. HAWKINS ARTICLE HI. 1 Louise W ashington, was the sister of Louise Bennett-Washington, is of no doubt the most interesting of all living pioneers of Chicago, and is the oldest living settler or native born on record. July 4th, 1845, was the date of her birth and this being In- dependence Day, it might account for the spirit of independence which has followed her in all of life's un- dertakings. From the time of en- trance into this world until the pres. ent writing she has been one of the most active and influential of Chi- cago's colored women and has been a tireless worker for all things that tended to upfift her race of people. Her father Albert Bennett, was a janitor having charge of what was known a8 one of the largest office buildings of that period——the Snow- foot Building located near Lake and Clark street, owned by the Snow- foot Bros, attorneys. She has been a continuous resident of Chieago with the exception of five or six years, at which time she was employed as a governess by one of Chicago's so- cial families who had moved east; this family later went abroad and wanted to take Louise with them but thru the entreaties of her parents she returned to Chicago, later mar- rying Mr. Washington. This mar- viage was ¢onsidered to be one of the social events of that day among the colored population as both contract- ing parties were of the leading fami- lies. At the death of her husband Mies, Washington, had been married 29 years since which date she has remained single. She is a charter member of the Old Settler’s Club and active in all of the Women’s Lodges and Societies of the City. She is of diminutive stature, standing bare. ly 5 feet high, but is one of the most active and tireless of workers. Mrs. Washington, is one of the few re- maining survivors of the noted John Jones, who was one of Chicago's leading tailors until the late 80's. Mrs, Levenia Lee, of Brooklyn, Mass., and Mrs, Doctor Theodora Lee-Par- nell, of Oakland, California, are the only other remaining relatives of Mr. John Jones. © The mother of HEALTH HINTS. Dr. H. A.

Novelists and Historians have written of the “Firing Line”, twhere men have been made targets for shot and shell and where they have aimed and fired with varying success at their assailants. . The firing line of life is like unto the firing line of war- fare. Civilization has been evolved into its dizzy heights by men who stood with undaunted courage and fearlessness on the firing line. It seems that fight and service on the Firing Line has been th Saving Grace of the survivors throughout the wreck of nations, and the destruction of humanity. It is the law of evolution and life; fight and the dreadful gauntlet of the Firing Line. They have not yet beaten their “swords inio plow shares” nor have they turned the plourh shares into pruning hooks. They have not yet decided “to study War no more”. The world has not yet reached the stage of perpetual peace of eternal wranquility. We still must fight to live, nations still clutch the throats of one another and the spoils still go io the vicor. Races still are envious and jealous, color and creed continue to be chips on the shoulder, and strong men still crowd the Firing Line. ©. The Colored man has been psed as cannon fodder and shock troops in many great wars. He has been foremost t.non every Tragic Firing Line for years imemmorable. 41 s.2 hs been contending for vaporing ideals and Utopean bliss 7 (he past has bled for others repeatedly and always has been made the “goat”. It strikes us as remarkable that he has not yet marched to Firing Line for’ himself. In the midst of economic and political warfare while the “darts and arrows of outrageous fortune fly” from every direc- tion. While enemies come in battalions and not single spies, we wonder when he will gird his loins and march to the Firing Line on his own behalf and for our salvation and pvcservation? | The great fight draws near when the colored man must either march to the Firing Line and scatter the enemies or be swept away in the barage of the enemy fire. "The Graham Anti-Sedition Bill aimed %o silence every col- cored Newspaper, is a clever attempt to muzzle the mouth-piece of the Colored People and to silence the voice of the oppressed. This bill provides that every Magazine, Book, Nwsp=yer, etc., where in an appeal to race prejudice, the intended or probable result of which is to causes rioting or resort to force, etc., shall be non-mailable. MMe padding of this law would be the height of Legislative judicial snobbery. It would be a travesty to the rights of Free Speech and Press. It would be the reversion to the autocratic methods of ante-bellum and would reflect upon the Democratic ideals of this espoused democratic country. This is the call to the Firing Line. The colored press must be defended by the People. The people, must be represented by their representatives. The Colored Press makes not con- scious nor intentional appeal to race prejudice. The White pa- pers have set such a precedent however. The platitude of Mr. Wilson is in mind, pitiless publicity to the people. The people must “know the truth and the truth must set them free.” The Colored Press must give the truth about lynching and other disgraces of Democracy The Graham Anti-Sedition Bill would prevent this. Fire away then at your representatives im Congress, and by your telegrams and letters bring moral pessure to bear. Battle with the pen and take no steps back- ward. | The Firing Line is hazy with the smoke of Prohibition and Bolsheviki warfare. Now is the time, march up and begin your onslaught against lynching and mob violence and discrimina- tion. Remember beyond the Apls lies Italy. Beyond the Firing Lime lies full citizenship and national respect. : “cc 29 “A “MESS”? OF POTAGE.

The duration of an epidemic in any locality is from six to eight weeks. The cayse is unknown as to definite organism, but is found to be an acute infection of the respirato=y tract. The diseas is highly contagi- ous, spreads rapidly and is worst in the cold season ofthe year. One: attack doas nop. necessarily protect from a subsequent one. The organism is generally found in the nasal and bronchial secretions, trans- mitted by anything, sneezing, hands, kissing, and inhaling a foul breath of air. The outset is usually abrupt with fever, from one to four days there are severe headaches, pains in the buck and joints with profound pros- tration and a marked nervous dis- order. Judging from the accounts in Medical.

The fever in In- fuenza is very important as it may be the only manifestation of the disease. It is some times markedly remittant with chills and this com- Plicates a diagnosis. The most im- portant types of the disease are those of the respiratory tract. ‘The mucous membrane of the respiratory tract of the nose to the air cells of the lungs may be regarded as the seat for the influenza bacilli. The simple form sets in with a cold in the head ang. appears in an acute catarrhal fever. After the ca- tarrhal symptoms, bronchitis _oc- curs, the fever increases, delirium and much prostration. The grave danger of the respiratory conditions are followed by bronchitis, pleuri- sy and pneumonia as its complica- tions. Functional disturbances ave common, palpative, bradycardia, ta- chyeardia, all heart conditions being involved, pointing to grave results.

COLORED LABOR BEING SOUGHT BY STOCK YARD’S LABOR COUNCIL Read and Remember! ARTICLE XIV. CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not To Be Abridged. 1, All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subjec: to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdic- tion the equal protection of the laws. ‘The writer enjoys the rather unique distinction of being in continuous connection with the Stock Yards Labor council for nearly 2 years, of having the actual experience of more than a year of continous employ- ment in one of the large packing houses in the “YARDS” during a period in which many fierce fights were waged by the Stock Yards La- bor Council for all the workers, and last but by no means least in im- portance, of being a Colored man. It is a great wonder that a certain state of affairs with unfaltering pre- cision occasion similar results re- gardless of local environments, the constant law of cause and effect. We that stock Yards labor council have been waging war for all the workers irrespective of race, creed or color and thé workers colored and white have been benefited by incease in pay, shortening of the work day and conditions in general. We colored people clamor (and rightfully so) for equality with other people under the law including the field of in- dustry. Under ur Democratic form of government mand present social system, admiration and respect should fall upon a person or a peo- ple who possess and display a spirit of willingness to contest against ag well a5 protest agaivst any practice oy system the operation of which i# detrimental to the person or people concerned. To again quote Sec retary Johnson “Personally I prefer a mule to a sheep, you can handle the mule but you can not treat him in the same manner as you would the sheep; we all respect a fighter even if we do not always admire him.” We speak authoritively when we assert that much of the so called prejudice and friction (and we refer only to the field of: industry), be- tween the races are due to the gen- eral apparent difference of their at- titudes toward employers; the white one of. defiance and ‘readiness to combat ‘for rights of employees ax such; the colored one of ‘non resist- ance and humiliation, Hence the white workers has been incouraged to regard his colored brother asa reactionary factor in the field of labor and has practiced \liscrimmination against him in the labor organiza- tion; the white, workers recognized weapon of defense and offense against the encroachment of the em- ployers. On the other hand the col- ored worker has learned to regard his white brother as his , natural enemy and the labor organization as a hideous Bug-bear. The émployers have taken ad- vantage of these differences to force the workers further apart along the above mentioned lines realizing that so long as such a aystem of supersti- tions and misunderstandings exists, just so long will the workers, fail to write in common effort for the gen- eral betterment of all. Employers Reap Financial Returns. The employers through their agents, may not as the charge is some time made criminally conspire tot instiute race riots, (Phehing ana kindred evils, but these are mere manifestations of the practices they incourage in order to profit by the weakened states of the workers thus opposed racially. Lest our article become lenghty we conclude with a standing invitation extended to dis- cuss our final assertion that with its past record of usefulness to the workers in the yards, and its past and present policy of no racial des- crimination the Stock Yards Labor Council is a means to the end of obtaining some of the equal rights in the industrial arena, for which there is on part of progressive colored people such constant elamor and such earnest desire. We solicit the approval and aid of all constructive sentiment mold- ing agencies of the race in boosting its cause of organazing the colored workers in the Stock Yards along with the other workers. .
