STRANGE LETTERS SENT TO GOVERNOR BITTEN BY DOG: CURED BY BULLETS EXTRA SUBSCRIBE NOW! Letters State That He Will Be Killed Vol. 2.—No. 9 BITT ARKANS Letters Sta Will Be Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 27. — Governor Baugh of this state has received anonymous letters by the score declaring if the colored men convicted in recent race riots are executed, he will be assassinated. Governor Baugh's car was riddled with bullets during the riot, and it is declared that the chief executor is in constant fear of his life.

Girls Safer in Africa Than in Omaha Missionaries have no fear of Native Blacks. The Monitor, Omaha, Neb., printed in last weeks issue a report an address made by Miss Jennette Miller to the churches of Omaha on her Missionary work in Africa. In the course of her talk Miss Miller mentioned several facts of interest. Miss Miller's whole attitude, we gather was one of a unexamined friendship for the African Natives. She stated that the black man's crime had been taught them by the white man and that except when contaminated by contact with them (in this instance the Portuguese) the natives were the model of virtue, the finest expression of ethics of Christianity. Miss Miller stated that "the morals of the Black men, except at festivals in connection with funerals and weddings is faulness until the wicked Portuguese began to teach them their white man's way. She stated further that" an unprotected girl is safer to the wilds of Africa than she is right here in Omaha. Miss Miller related an experience she had with some cannibals when after having lost her way she said, "we were treated with the utmost courtesy food and huts in which to sleep were given us and we were directed back to our trails." Miss Miller closed her adress with the statement that the African Native was the most polite person in the world, exceeding even the subtle Japanese in his suavity. The Chicago Whip the extreme punishment of colored persons accused of infractions of the law, an incident of the recent Governor's conference is cited. Governor Baugh called a conference of 800 colored people and the same number of whites together in the State House to discuss racial problems. A white judge who declared that colored wanted Jim Crow Cars and were completely satisfied, was not only hissed down, but driven off the stage, and with difficulty escaped the wrath of the evidence. Georgians Lose Again in Attempt to Lynch Attempt To Lynch Negro Who Told Whereabouts of Moonshine Still. Evans Count, Georgia, Feb. 24. Because he was alleged to have told revenue officers the whereabouts of a moonshine whiskey still being operated by white men, Andrew Jones barely escaped. Lynching here this week. A moonshine outfit confiscated here recently and John Horten, white, necused Jones of giving away its location to revenue officers. Jones denied the charge and in the alteration shot and severely wounded Horton. He then surrendered to the police. When friends of Horton leashed that Jones was held in the Evans County jail they fired a volley into the building and attempted to gain an entrance by battering down the door. The sheriff and his prisoner escaped then the rear entrance and came to Savannah in an auto. Misers Dig Up Buried Currency Tulsa, Okla.—Publication of stories about misers and hoarders of money being robbed, mistreated, and slain in numerous cities of the country has given the local banks a new job lately—that of condemning certain mildew and moss covered bills that have been "buried." Teller C. L. Skinner of the First National bank says that he has had much experience in banks and knows something about the peculiarities of people and has been skeptical of stories of buried money. That is, until recently. An old colored man of Sand Springs brought $1,000 in currency to him to deposit. "I had it buried", he explained, "but I have been reading about so many people who kept their money cached away being robbed that I 'lowed it would be safer in a bank. What does it cost to keep it here?" The currency was in bills of every denomination, all jumbled together, but he knew to the cent just what he had. In addition he had a sack full of silver coins that were black and mildewed from being under the ground so long. Other bankers report similar occur rences of late.

Cooke, colored, has filled suit in Gary Superior Court against Mike Paul and Tom Kallas, owners of the American Restaurant Company at Hammond, for $5,000 because they refused to serve him in their restaurant on account of his color. Why Colored Workers Are Generally Anti-Union By Andrew Holmes, Secy'-Treasurer of Local Union No. 20. Affiliated with the Stockwards Labor (Continued from last issue) (7). Because of no belief in ability of self and fellow workers to maintain a Constructive Organization. We are admitting that among no other group as the colored wage-earners, does so great a sentiment exist of lack of ability in self to combat the problems incident to every day life. They seemingly prefer to regard the established order of things as inevitably arranged. For example, they prefer going on to a job accepting conditions as they find them, and leaving individually when they prove intolerable rather than taking a hand collectively in the correction of the existing evils, or in the retention of any favorable points of which the workers may already be in possession. When admonished about this attitude they usually admit a feeling of utter inability to effectually aid themselves, and a fear of the consequences of attempting to do the same. While there are exceptions to the rule we believe that much resentment against and contempt for the colored workers by other groups would have less reasonable cause for being fostered, and as it is in extreme instances, asserted, but for this attitude the colored workers must become more assertive of their rights in every reasonable and intelligent manner and must train in tactics of concerted action that their assertions may be more effective. Dissention promotes weakness which, in turn, is conductive to resentment, scorn and contempt. These things assert themselves in practices of discrimination, of segregation and kindred evils portraying a consciousness of inequality. While we are aware that much prejudice exists without provocation, we contend that the colored workers in their daily department in their various spheres of ac- Man Awarded $8.083.00 Shreport, La. Feb. 26th. — What is considered an unprecedented verdict was returned here today by a picked jury in the case of Henry Lee, vs Walter P. Hines, director General of the U. S. Railway one hour and twenty minutes. The suit was originally brought for $26.083 but the award was $8.083. Lee was kicked off a Freight Train some months ago and his leg crushed under the wheels, necessated amputation. The fact that a verdict was returned by a jury of White men, and in so short a time seemed rather astonishing on the face of it, but close study will reveal some interesting facts. The sentiment against the railroad administration and particular against the government has been strong in this part of the country for some time, and there is reason for believing that the action of the jury is a covered slap at the Government. Council for the Government immediately upon the return of the verdict filed a suit for a new trial. Transcript Lauds Airs of Composer Boston, Mass., Feb. 17. — The musical critic of the Boston Transcript recently wrote a most flattering criticism of the music to Dunbar's "Ships That Pass in the Night," composed by Prof. Gerald G. Tyler, director of music at Summer - High school, St. Louis. The occasion for the favorable criticism was the singing of this song along with those of other composers, by Roland Hayes at a recital. A group of songs, composed by Mr. Tyler, have been accepted by an Eastern publisher, they being songs for children based on the "Mother Goose Rhymes," with a dance rythm to each. Colored Falsely Accused Louisville, Wy., Feb. 25. — With Virgil Duvall, white, in jail for shooting Eleanor Schaffner, a white married woman with whom he is said to be in love, it has developed that the old cry of "a Negro did it" was mutrue. A man hunt for the supposed colored culprit was averted. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. Police Sick ULLETS e Murder ck Man Police Murder Sick Man Montgomer, Alab., Feb. 26th. James Tolliver, a colored man, who had been bitten by a mad dog a week ago, had been paced in the Hale Infirmary here for observation. He developed hydrophobia and became violent inflicting some damage to the ward in which he was confined and nurses became fearful that they might be attacked. Police Called. Some of Montgomer's police were called in to protect the white nurses from possible harm. They (the police), began by brutally beating the colored man, reducing him to consciousness and therefore protected the nurses from harm. Strong Men Over 1000 People Register Independent Protest Against the Old Crowd. Major Jackson was re-elected alderman for the Second Ward. In view of the fact that he was incumbent and in the light of the infancy of the new organization which fostered his opponent Mr. Westbrooks, every one is startled and amazed at wonderful showing made by the youthful candidate. Westbrook is proud. Westbrook states that: He is proud of his showing and grateful to those who would fit the aldermanic mantle around his sturdy shoulders. He also states that the fight has just begun and that 1000 votes corraled in two months, will be 6 thousand votes in a year. Louis Anderson, the other old crowd alderman sees the hand-writing on the wall, for the new negroes will vote for him next year if money, propaganda and intelligence will carry the truth to the masses of the race. Colored Chaffeur Held for Manslaughter Shreveport, La.—Robert Brown, colored, was arrested yesterday on a charge of manslaughter, when the truck he was driving ran over and killed Wesley Moore, colored. Moore was driving a motorcycle and was caught by the front fender of the auto truck, tossed off his machine and crushed under the wheels. Aged Colored Woman Found Dead in Cabin Little Rock, Ark. Feb. 25th. — Eliza McCarroll, aged 82 years was found dead in her cabin about five miles out on 19th street Pike, yesterday morning by neighbors who started to search for her after she had been absent for several days. Death was due to natural causes according to the coroner's report. Woman Dragged From Burning Building Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 26.—Lillian Henderson, who has been bed ridden for 20 years, was heroically rescued from her burning dwelling by neighbors last night. The house a small, structure, was completely destroyed. The fire is supposed to have started from a pill of ashes carelessly thrown near the house. The woman was removed to the county hospital by the police. --- PRICE FIVE CENTS Trover Becomes Violent. oiliver, bruised and beaten, from the attack, he broke held him and in the struggle the officers almost wrecked the room. Police Shoot Tolliver. The officers drew their guns and after firing several shots which missed their mark, killed the colored man as they would have a mad dog. The officers have not been arrested and police officials seem to think that they are as justified in this murder as they would have been in the killing of a mad dog. Birmingham, Ala. — Feb. 25th. — Relatives of Color soldiers killed in the war were to be presentes with French Memorial certificates here tomorrow evening at the Thirgood Memorial Colored Methodist church. The presentation of the Memorials has been authorized by the French Government and they will be presented under the auspices of that government. The Memorials are a glorious tribute to the colored soldier and were an adequate expression of the appreciation of the French for the services rendered on the Field of Battle. All Males of Village, 16 to 70, Go On Spree for 3 Days Carts Convey 540 to Hospital to Be Sobered After They Consume $7,500 Worth of Shipwrecked Liquor! Last Man Goes to Floor After Six Hours of Drinking. London, Feb. 24. — Virtually the entire male population of the village of Lagrana, near Ferroh, Spain, was in a state of "hepless intoxication" for three days recently, the fishing industry and all other work being at a complete standstill, according to a Madrid dispatch. "Owing to the stormy weather," it says, "a number of cases of spirits laden on incoming vessels had been washed overboard. The casks were picked up by fishermen, small tradesmen and mechanics, who, after selling part of the wreckage, assembled in a building and consumed dozens of bottles of spirits. "The orgy lasted for six hours, at the end of which time the whole crowd was found lying in huddled heaps about the floor, unconscious. "A detachment of marines was dispatched to the building, and in the presence of the captain of the port the people were shoveled like coal into six large carts and conveyed, still insensible, to the naval hospital here under escort of marines with fixed bayonets. "The value of the liquor consumed is estimated at $7,500. There are 540 patients ranging from 16 to 70 years of age, in the hospital." (Louisville Courier Journal.) Under The Lash of The Whip Under The Lash of The Whip 5000 Negro people in Chicago voted for Boss Rule, A Machine Made Alderman, that has never said one word against the bombing of colored homes, filthy streets and alleys and the flagrant vice within our gates. The "OLD CROWD" fossils spent over $3,000 to put a "hat in hand", "me too Boss" leader in office. The fight has just begun, take off your coats and take your medicine. The NEW NEGROES were able to corral over 1,000 votes for a real man in office. This took ony 2 months' efforts. A Certain Gentleman in our race has been forcing his affections on a pale faced lady in the assessor's office. This gentleman belongs to the old ignorant avaricious type. A Gentleman on the corner recently remarked that the "WHIP" was too radical. We wonder if he thinks the south, The Tribune, and the Hyde Park Gang is conservative enough for him. The Keen Observer saw: A young lady from our clan parading over State Street with an infamous renegade of the Underworld and of the white race. Where is Honor and Pride? A Judge in Tennessee recently sentenced a colored woman to 50 years on a charge of vagrancy. Vagrancy means without working etc. That same judge would be justified in giving the Big 4, Oscar, Edd, Louis and Bob life time. Several Young Men belonging to those within the color veil, have lost all vision of the future and are basking in realm of vice and corruption with no incentive to go forward. Too bad that the so called "leaders" can't set an example for them to emulate. It took 10 months for Chief Garrity to demote and transfer Mike Lee, acting Captain of the 50th Street Police Station. It did not take the Allies much longer to chase the Kaiser out. The Politicians are meeting quite a few job seekers these days. The seakers will cut your throats for those "Flunky Jobs" in the City Hall. They call these jobs patronage. We wonder if the voters are called patrons. Who is that delective sergeant that "bags all his birds" on corner 35th and State. Why not look on some other side, sergeant? Edd. Wright is gloating because his Harmony Pal Jackson, the fixing Bob" was re-elected. Be not afraid, Edd. The New Crowd is just waiting to Vamp you. The Governor of Kansas is very much interested in the Chambliss case. It would be a good idea for the governor to interest himself in the Hyde Park Trouble since he is so anxious to dip in. State Street styles are leading Paris. Kimono and Pajama parties are the rave. Adam and Eve would blush at first but the "Fig Leaf Negligee" would put them in style right away. Colored Renting Agents while they are putting up banks and other cooperations are putting up rents 50% and 100%. They say coal and decorations and janitor wage have gone up. So has Whisky, Automobiles and Loving. Beware. The day of reckoning will draw nigh. The Police Department should arrange to have Police Boxes placed in Walgreen's Drug Store, 35th and State, for the convenience of the "terms of the law." 2 Employers Will Not Bar Colored Stevedores San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 17. Colored Stevedores will not be barred from employment on the water front. This was the decision reached at a meeting of the members of the Waterfront Employers' Union in the offices of the Matson Navigation Company. "We realize we are under a moral obligation to the men who assisted us in meeting the emergency created by the strike of union stevedores, and the members of our association are pledged to employ colored men on all piers controlled by them in the same proportion as they were employed during the strike," James Tyson, of the Matson Navigation Company, one of the largest employing associations on the water front, told members of the employers' union. "Without the assistance of those men who handled our cargoes during the recent strike the acts of lawlessness and violence, unchecked by the authorities, would have crippled our industries," Tyson said. Negroes Meet in Unity Hall Boston, Mass., February 25, 1920. —Serious race disturbances in the South, with a continuance of lynchings, employment discontent and the growth of the I. W. W. and Bolshevistic tendencies, as reported from time to time, have caused the Boston friends of the Negro, who have long extended sympathy to such institutions as Tuskegee, Hampton Calhoun, and Penn, to arrange for a public meeting in Unity Hall Park square, for Tuesday evening February 24, at 8:15 o'clock. Major Robert R. Morton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton enthusiastically accepted invitations to be present. In addition there were addresses by Brigadier General John H. Sherburne, who commanded the 167th Artillery (Negro) Brigade of the Ninety-second Division on the battlefields of France, and by A. L. Jackson, educational secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, who was class orator on his graduation from Harvard. The Unity House meeting was planned by a committee of which Miss Harriet S. Curtis of Mt. Vernon street is the chairman. It has the active support of Rev. Henry Wilder Foote, local trustee of the Hampton Institute: Charles E. Malson, trustee of the Tuskegee Institute; John F. Moors, for the Penn School and Rev. Paul Revere Frothingham for Calhoun. The Hampton quartet sang plantation melodies. Annual Meeting of Chicago Branch The Annual Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held Monday Night at Wendell Phillips High School. As usual the meeting was well attended, every seat being occupied and many standing throughout the evening. Judge F. O. Brown, President of the Chicago Branch presided. The address was delivered by Rev. John Haynes Holmes, noted pulpit Orator from New York City. Rev. Holmes delivered a wonderful address giving facts and conditions of the Negro Problem as it appears to the White race, of which he is a member, and giving facts and conditions as they appear to be with the Negro. Never has Chicago's audience listened to a more logically inductive and forceful speech, and the vast audience seemed to be appreciative and intense interest was evident throughout the address. Dr. Chas. Bentley made an appeal for the association, after the strength and benefit of the organization had been clearly shown to which appeal there was ready response. Every colored person in Chicago should be a member of the Chicago Branch which membership costs only one dollar, and those who can afford it should donate whatever they can to the Association, because many very influential white people are devoting their time and money to this cause which is for our benefit solely and we should at least show our appreciation by doing the best we can in a numerical way. Following is report of moneys collected and offenders of the Chicago Branch for the following year. $350.50 was collected in cash $600.00 pledges. $950.50 THE CHICAGO WHIP Subscriptions for the movement on the occasion, have already started towards the treasurer, Mr. Anthony Overton, a business man of unquestioned commercial and civic standing. Among the first of these to arrive was for the sum of $100, subscribed by Rev. Dr. J. H. Kelley, a new citizen of Chicago who has purchased heavily in real estate in the The following officers were elected for the coming year. Judge E. O. Brown, President, Dr. Chas. E. Bently, Vice President, M. A. Hirsch, Sec., Geo. R. Arthur, Assistant Sec., A. K. Maynard, Treasurer. A. Clement MacNeal, Executive Sec'y Board of Directors. Mr. R. S. Abbott, Miss Jane Addams, Mr. T. W. Allinson, Mr. Julius Avendorf, Miss Estelle Arnold, Mrs. Garnetta Carlisle, Mr. Chas. S. Duke, Miss Margaret Furness, Dr. Geo.

M., at the Eighth Segment Armory, the people of Chicago in a monster mass meeting, representing every interest of our group in the city, will "open the flood gates of truth" and marshal the forces of justice in opposition to bombing and segregation in HydePark and Kenwood. Preparations are being made for an attendance of 5,000 people. Will you be one of them? The meeting is not to be one of those stereotyped kind of protest and resolutions. Thre will be two definite things done on the occasion. First: The public will be informed concerning the activities of the Protective Circle of Chicago since it began to deal with these questions; Second: A fund of several thousand dollars will be raised to deal with the situation in a way that will bring immediate and lasting results. So if you intend to be one of the 5,000, be sure to bring along your bank notes and check book. Dr. J. H. Kelly Subscribes $100. South Side, and who is to be new pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, in the heart of the district sought to be segregated. Dr. Kelley's attitude is typical of the feeling of the community in a determination that there shall be "No Backward Step" in Hyde Park and Kenwood. It is the determination to deal with the situation drastically but legally. The so called Hyde Park and Kenwood Property Owners Association having plagerized the famous French General Joffre quotation: "They shall not pass." The people of our group have paraphrased that other famous quotation of General Pershing at La Fayette's tomb: "Hydie Park and Kenwood, we are here!" Flirting with the "Pen". J. Edson McEldowney, editor and manager of the Real Estate news, the leading real estate publication of Chicago, devotes four pages in editorial comment explaining the Hyde Park and Kenwood situation, and declares some things should give the intimadators the cold shivers. In a "solemn warning" printed in italics, he states: "The time has come, we believe, for a word of solemn warning to all South Side property owners. It is: Keep out of those Associations! If you are now in, get out! For you are in great danger of the penitentiary! You are in grave peril of losing your property by damage suits!" This "solemnn warning" is written by a white man to the white people in the Hye Park and Kenwood, and other associations. The Circle In Action The Protective Circle of Chicago is acting! Twenty-five thousand copies of the Real Estate news have already been mailed to every resident of Hyde Park and Kenwood. A sensible circular letter, appealing to the beter judgement of the white residents of the section has been printed and, also, mailed. Steps for immediate legal action are under way. Mayor William Hale Thompson, Corporation Counsel Ettleson, Attorney General Brundage and United States District Attorney Clyne, together with Race Commission apointed by Governor Lowden, are being presented with facts and unquestioned evidence that will unquestionably require legal action. The Protective Circle is doing considerably more that cannot be announced at this time, but there can be nothing more important in life's calendar of duties than your presence at the Eight Regiment Armoy, Sunday afternoon. Be there! Little Child Locked in House, Burned to Death Paducah, Ky., Feb. 24.—Pitifully crying for help Tine Southerland, two years old colored child was burned to death here today, when the house in which she had been locked burned up. The mother had locked the child in the house while she went to town shopping. Neighbors did not discover the flames in time to save the child, the charred body was found just inside the door by the firemen. On March 3 occurs the 73d birthday anniversary of the humble United States postage stamp. In 1845 the federal government authorized a half dozen postmasters to issue stamps at their own expense, but it was not until March 3, 1847, that the first national stamps were issued. There were statesmen, however, who protested against the United States aping thus a British institution, for the postage stamp idea had come from England. The stamp was not popular at first because the user had to provide his own glue. Came forward then the heavens-sent genius who thought out a method of providing each stamp with its dose of "stickom". Licking became instantly popular throut the nation and the stamp began its uninterrupted career of usefulness. With equal facility it carries a million kisses in a love letter and a million-dollar check. It is the most faithfull of messengers and for two cents will carry a letter a mile or 2000 miles. And while birthday felicitations are in order, it should be said in tribute to the stamp that it is one of the very few commodities that are as cheap now as they were before the war. Perhaps it is only one. TER-CAM-FO Ter-Cam-Fo is a preparation containing Turpentine, Camphor, Menthol and other ingredients that are effective in breaking up colds.

Champaign, Illinois Notes By Breedlove's News Co. Cincinnati, Ohio Atlanta, Ga. Notes The Colored Public School Teachers represented Mr. C. L. Harper with a beautiful gold watch as a token of appreciation for his untiring efforts in seeing that the colored teachers of Atlanta received a square deal. Recently the white teachers petitioned for a raise of $30.00 for themselves and $10.00 for colored teachers and janitors. Through the fight by the colored teachers headed by C. L. Harper they were successful in getting a fifteen dollar raise and the white teachers were reduced to $28. The N. A. A. C. P. of Atlanta is sending a fund to Macon to aid in defending a man that has had unjust trial. The man seems to be absolutely innocent and ignorant of what he is accused of. He is sentenced to death accused of attacking a white woman, the only evidence was that his shoe fitted a track near the woman's house. Deo. Geo. Shinery was sentenced to 3 years in the County Chain Gang on a charge of criminal negligence in operating his car last spring. Everyone considers the verdict travesty against justice. 600 Girls Face Ordeal The 600 girls now doing clerical work in the Mail Order house of Montgomery Ward & Company have been facing some very serious situations.

As a testimony of the good work of the League here is a letter which was received by Mr. Evans, Industrial Secretary of the League from the representatives of the girls effected: The ordeal thru which we have just passed has been a trying one, and there have been moments during this crisis when we have felt that the struggle was too great and that we would do well to give it up and allow matters to adjust themselves: but with your timely aid, brotherly encouragement, and splendid management of the seemingly hopeless tangle we have succeeded in scoring a point for which we were almost afraid to hope.

Community Basket Ball League last Friday night, several of the players of different teams being laid up with the "Flu" and other on the doctor's sick list. A good crowd turned out and cheered the competing teams fast games being played in the Quinn and Iroquois furnished a finshy hard-checking game as an open or the half time score being 4—0 in favor Quinn. In the early part of the second half the West Side boys came back strong and looked like winners changing the score 6—4 in their favor after a few minutes of play. However, after that it was Quinn all the way Hugh Schell and Green notching 10 points between them, and making the score board read 14—16 when the final whistle blew. Hugh Schell starred as he did in the game last week. He played a strong defensive and offensive game and scored 6 of his team's points. Louis Goodgame of the Iroquois lived up to his name and played a good game but he could not find the basket in his shooting. Lincoln Lights romped away from the Thekweights from Institutional. As usual the kids put up a serrapy game against great odds. The final score read 36—1. Horton was high man in scoring having nine baskets "o his credit. In a practice game Lincoln heavy team defeated a team of "All Stars" 21—16. The game was fast and furious the half time score reading 5—3 in favor Lineol. Huff Trueheart and Blunchest starred for Lineol.

Instead of worrying in front of a mirror every morning with an empty stomach and a carefully mersed grouch, they pull out their hair roots and They believe in permanency. Ber. Williams says death is so permanent, but the New Guineans hold the same idea about shaves. Warning to Barbars: Keep away from Guinea! No Hope for Poor Savages According to the announcement of Professor T. Small, of Chicago University, missionaries will henceforth pursue their missionary activities in flwers. The Baptist church is raising $100,000,000 for the work in Africa and if successful, will send a shipment of Fords to Africa to conquer the waistless Sahara. Professor Small states, that with a Ford a missionary can do eight times as much work as on foot. It is figured that more savages can be brought to the religion of the western world thru the aid of Fords in a year than have hitherto been converted in 15 years. All of which shows you can never tell what Ford is up to or capable of doing. 3105 SO. STATE ST.

Why Colored Workers Are Generally Anti-Union Continued from page 1. tivity can silence and suppress:—if not eliminate and exterminate much of it, by taking a courageous intelligent, concerted stand against in juices and offenses just as the other races generally do. We might temporarily lose thereby, but the respect gained from employer and fellow workers as well as the moral effect on the colored workers themselves would more than repay any loss thus occasioned and return soon an interest of two hundred per cent on the investment. (8). Because of Un-belief in the sincerity of the White man's invitation to come into Organized Labor. We have frequently been interrogated thus—"Why is it that the White Union Man is at this period so vigorously soliciting colored membership? The answer is not very difficult to explain. At this time the entire social system of the country is upset and unsettled because of abnormal conditions developed during the war. A titanic struggle is going on in the many varied fields of operation—this being a brief formative era for the social systems of the nation. To be sure the labor movement is as much involved as any other agency in the general attempt to formulate, as it were, principles or customs, under which to be governed and operated until the next upheaval of affairs puts our system again in topsy-turvy position. Just now the colored worker is a factor in the Labor movement. He has again the opportunity that was his at the close of the Civil War, namely; to be interwoven into the economic fabric of this republic. His former opportunity to become assimilated into the circles of American Organized Labor was lost when the mania of importation of European labor struck the capitalists of this country. He was pushed aside for the period and ceased to be a factor in the movement. He was not only unmolested in his unorganized state, but was even barred out by many organizations of which many still flourish. The forces or organization were directed on the imported foreigner who is now a substantial element in organized labor's composition The Police Department sho who invited him here in large numbers some years ago for speculative purposes, are having laws made that they may deport him away from here. They hope to use us (the colored workers) for a period before we wake up, even though they permitted the American and foreigner to push us aside until their (the capitalists) rotten system of wage slavery was endangered. The proof of the foregoing assertions is reflected in the attitude of certain labor organizations. The Knights of Labor founded in 1869 as well as the National Labor Union founded three (3) years earlier discarded all distinctions of race, creed, or color. The American Federation of Labor, founded in 1886 started on the same principles, but, we are told it soon instituted the system of separate unions and in 1902 passed a from local unions, city or central resolution excluding colored men labor bodies. This condition, however, has been adjusted recently and the Federation is now on a broader basis in that angle. 1. eva 2. But our purpose is not to write a history of labor organizations, but to show why the colored worker is being sought by organized labor at this time. There are still, however, that discriminate but they generally assume an apologetic attitude rather than a boastful one for their narrow and backward stand. Now, after summarizing all over available information, we come to this conclusion. The white man's invitation to colored workers is an experiment, and its sincerity will be commensurate with the success of the experiment. The colored man is now (as he was fifty years ago) in a position to aid organized labor in its fight against the avaricious capitalists who have no regard for laws, customs, traditions of humanity or anything that tends to disturb their system of dollar-getting; or he may by his inability to grasp the situation, or by his indisposition to wage his share of the fight for the common good of all, force labor to devise other methods of solving its present problems. In such event the colored worker must feel the force of the power of organized labor turned against him in an effort once more to eliminate him from whatever sphere of industry that his presence may tend to endanger the working-man's recognized standards of life. If such a course is the one out of the present deliberations then more harsh and rigorous discrimination will be practised than ever before, as a necessary measure. We believe that organized labor is sincere as regards the colored work. urs, the measure being one of self-defense. In this way it becomes the plain duty of the colored worker to avail himself of the opportunity to correct some of the errors of the past committed when the race had little intelligence and no experience is free men and citizens of a democratic commonwealth. He must get into the movement and become a potent factor ever ready to fight vigorously for the good of all the workers, and for his rights as a worker. In this way alone will he merit respect and recognition from others. One sad feature of the present disturbed times is the attitude of the guardians of the peace. The city police department which has failed to interfere with the Hyde Park and Kenwood Property Owners' Association and has mailed to cope with the bomb situation, endangering the liberties and lives of colored citizens thereby, find that they have men in plenteous quantities to try to hinder the work of organization of the Stockyards Workers. Will some reader kindly suggest that some colored politician who has influence or a "pull" if necessary with his honor the Mayor, convey the information of these facts and recommend that those police who are kept around the yards daily with no other purposes than to try to impede the work of organization, that they be transferred to this section of the city where disorder reigns? Send them here where men meet openly and defiantly plot and pledge to deny liberty to citizens of our race. Send them here where lives and property of innocent individuals are unsafe and this for no just cause. In that way the workers will not only be allowed to reach some mutual agreement through intelligent organizations, thereby, lessening the chance of gross misunderstanding breeding prejudice and outrages; but police will be available to stamp out the mischief that is being performed because of the presence of these evils. It has been the policy of members of the Stockyards Labor Council to refuse to work under supervision of police or soldiers, the contention being that when men are earnestly endearing to earn a livelihood by earnest application to some given line, there exists no need for the presence of armed forces. Better far, they claim it is to concentrate force against them. struction rather than those of constructive nature. One condition of the walk-out of last summer after the riots, was the agreement, that, as distasteful as was the proposition of again working with non-union men and women, the members of the Council would return to work wherever the militia and police were removed. This was done, and not one act of violence has occurred to justify any claim that working men will to any great extent injure each other if left alone. We wish to add here than on last Sunday, February 22, 1920, a conciliatory meeting was held by representatives of the Stockyards Labor Council and the International office. The details will be given later. (To be continued). CHURCH NOTES West Side Park Ave. C. M. E. Church, Park & Robey Sts. Rev. S. S. Washington, D. D. L. L. L. Pastor. At 11 A.

This is the latest of a series of buildings which the rapid growth of the Elgin company has made it necessary to erect. Ever since the Elgin company was organized, about four year ago, there has been continuous building activity, rush of orders at one time even necessitating the use of two huge circus tents to supplement the factory space under roof. S. C. Rieman, president and general manager, reports his organization still is compelled to decline orders. The history of the Elgin Motor company is unique. It has probably made greater progress in the same length of time from its small beginning than any other company in the history of industry. It has grown in les than four years from preached at 3 o'clock to a large and appreciative audience. Rev. Rev. Reeves, Rev. Bro. Wallace, Rev. Dr. Hayden and Rev.

One Man removed from the wheel another still hurried. Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 25th. — Up to a late hour tonight the body of Van Richwood, colored firemen, had not been removed from the wreckage of the head on collision between the Freight train on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad. Van Richwood, it is feared has been burned to death at the bottom of a mass of smoldering debris. Another colored firemen, A. Edwards, was found early this morning. His body had been badly crushed and his face marred beyond recognition. He was found pinned to the Debris with a piece of steel through his stomach. The firemen both met their death through heroism. The white engineers who were saved refused to comment on the fact that both colored men remained on the train despite the impending danger. COLORED HOME BURNED Home at 34th and Rhodes Avenue was burned. It is stated that the fire was caused by a defective flue. Baby Burned. This property was owned by Anderson & Terrell and a colored baby of 5 was burned to death in the flames.

In automobile circles the rapid growth and wonderful record of the Elgin company is ascribed to the unusual energy and constructive ability of the company's president and general manager, Mr. Rieman, who seems to have the faculty of making the visions of today become the actualities of tomorrow. Mr. Rieman seems to deal principally in superlatives. He has built up the fastest growing company the industry has ever known and perfected a car that bears the title of "world's champion light six" on NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE MOVE MENT TO IMPROVE COLORED SCHOOLS Hampton, Va., Feb. — The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, of which John M.

Never set aside a national campaign week, February 22-28, during which time an effort will be made to interest colored people in a more thorough education of their children. The Association, aiming to enlighten the public on the fundamental need of education for the young, will wage this educational campaign through the public press, the public, and mass meetings. The Association will interest State Legislatures in the need of educating colored children through providing bettertrained and better-paid teachers as well as longer school terms, especially in rural districts. The Association will also present the claims of the teaching profession to the student body in all of the colored secondary schools and colleges throughout the nation. The Association's educational campaign will be conducted in full harmony with, and with the full knowledge of, the public school officials. It is a co-operative movement to improve colored citizenship through greater intelligence. Silas X. Floyd of 1025 Twelfth Street, Augusta, Ga., is the Association's executive secretary. Wm.

Equipped Hospital Owned and Operated Exclusively by Colored People. ‘The appearance of a well regulated first class hospital offering the best service, tender care and pleasing’ ‘courtesy to patients and visitors, | owned and operated exclusively by race people, is a source of great com- fort to citizens who have impatiently waited the time when the colored people of Chicago would rise to the growing needs of the rapidly grow- ing population. ‘The founding of Lake Park Ho- spital fills one of the most noticeable | vacancies in our éommunity, as there has long existed inadequate hospital accomodations for the proper medical treatment and nourishment necessary to give satisfying results even in the mildest forms of physical affliction. The need for an up to date conviently located hospital has been many times emphasized by the undisputable fact that persons have been forced inte the isolation of the County Hospital because they could not obtain ac- commodations elsewhere. Lake Park Haspital solicits the patronage and investigation of the Public. In making application for admission one need not feel the fear of being rejected as their rates are within reach of the humblest purse. It “is located at 4147 Lake Park Ave., overlooking beautiful Lake Mi- chigan and at all times the benefici- ary of its refreshing breezes, but luxuriously comfortable in the sever- est weather. The Board of Directors have in contemplation many improvements including exterior decorations and the opening of a Post Graduate School as soon as the condition of the hospital will permit. The very latest and most scientific course for training will afford many of our young women an excellent opportun- ity to engage in this lucrative profes- sion. The newly organized Board of Directors now working so diligently }to put Luke Park Hospital upon the crest of public interest, consists of the following well known persons: Rey. J. W.

Mr. Carpenter said that because f the losses suffered last year through new methods of production the crops would fall far short of the demand. Mr. Carpenter said that because of the losses suffered last year thru shortage of labor many farmers, e- specially the smaller frys intended to seed down more land and plant other crops. ‘A number of farms, he stated, that formerly ginned 500 bales will be able to gin only 100 this year because of the shortage of pickers. Mr. Car- penter’s talk was virtually an ad- mission of the supreme importance of the colored man in Cotton Indust- ry and further a testimony of the nower the colored man, in that ca- nacity, has over the white farmers. farmers in Arkansas have been mak- ing great concessions to their laborers n an effort to check the emigration aorth, but in a majority of cases their sfforts haveabeen unavailable. Shortage of farm labors is not just now a condition peculiar to the South ind there is reason for believing that che causes of the shortages in other sections are identically those of the sortage in the South. Particularly in Arkansas, the recent trouble sub- sequent upon the riot troubles at Elane have promoted an intense de- sire to escape the net of semi-slave like conditions prevailing there. Col- ored refugees are to be found all over north. There is a widespread desire on she part of the farm hands all over the country to get away from the ‘ong hours and poor pay of the farms. The prospect of high wages in the city with shorter hours and more amusement has proved an alluring charm as to make the shortage of help an acute problem of the im- mediate future. In many states ten- nant farming has reappeared. White Oe a as eae ey as feems ohe way to meet the situaticn If the colored man has been effect ed with the same emancipatory fever then a large patt of the race hus taken a distinct step upward. The step is revolutionary, because it re. presents a mental turnover, a psycho. logical reverse.

What it means is that the colored farm hand is abreast of the time, that he is alive to the vast changes that are at present cf- feeting the economic structure in a world, that he is no longer a group apart from the collective life of the nation, a group uneffected by the march of progress, but rather an in- tergral, an organic part of the Amer- ican body politic and economic. Negro Conference Charges Railroads With Dis- crimination ‘Tuskegee Institution, Alabama, February 40.—Reaffirming its oppo- sition to the alleged discrimination practiced by railroads and other common carriers and holding as in- defensible the alleged practice of charging negroes first-class fare and providing.them with third and fourth- class accommodations, the declara- tions of the twenty-ninth annual Ne- gro conference at Tuskegee were ad- opted here today, following talks by prominent white men, as well as ne- gro workers gathered for the sessions Lynching is deplored and its prac- tice held as a “cure for nothing.” “If negroes commit crimes, they should be punished by the courts, not by lynching,” th declaration sts forth. Insistence on better and fairer methods for adjusting many of the ordinary differences between the races is voiced and the white and col- ored leaders in every community are urged to co-operate and help make the south the finest example in the world of people of different races living together in mutual respect and helpfulness. | Members of the race are urged to ‘profit by the lessons of industry and thrift so effectively taught during the war, and negro farmers are espe- cially urged to grow sufficient food for their families, for stock und to raise more and better poultry, hogs and cattle. Increased values of farm products and wages which negro men are now enjoying should result, the conference holds, in better homes, schools and churches, “And even with better homes, there can be no as- sured or abiding progress without a decided increase in the intelligence among the masses of the colored people.” Attention is directed to the part the negro, played in the world war ‘and the period of unrest that has hope, tua fe | followed fons, she third S cet stand, in ex- declara’ which: pro. orgapized Net tacks” agai «overt state.

Patterson, recently pf the Judge Advocate Genear's De- ‘partment, has reestablished his jag offices at 129 East 31st Street in the old Avenue Hotel Building. It will be remembered that lawyer Patter- soy was the only member of our race to receive the distinction of being commissioneed with the rank of Ma- jor in the legal department of the United States Army in France. We already knew that Mr. Patterson had a national reputation both as a good lawyer and as a race man hence we were certain that he would make # record for himself as a soldier, In an interview iwth the Major a few days ago with reference to the out= conie of the trial of the fourteen Camp Grant soldiers, Mr. Patterson said that of the six men acquitted two had been sentenced to hang by the former trial court and that the eight convicted would sooner or later be released or he would go to the United States Supreme Court. A visit to Major Patterson's office con- vinced us that the old Avenue build- ing on 31st and Indiana Ave., in which some of our most prominent professional men are located is a very popular corner.

General Palmer, that there was a growing tendency towards racial consciousness among colored people, is one of the few of his opinions that does not invite controversy. The colored people are slowly but surely being aroused into a state of unrest and dissatisfaction. If this awakening or racial consciousness is to be construed as the off spring of radicalism, then Radicalism is the hope of the race. The colored people without seeming feeling, apparently oblivious to cause or effect, have lived through lynching festivals, riot pandemonium, Jim Crow warfare, discriminary legislation. They have been unconscious as far as action is concerned to the high cost of living, to the robbery of land lords and multifarious insults. They have not yet resorted to reprisals, nor have they plotted vengeance or violent reaction. The awakening has been evidenced by a bolder note struck from their press, by a sterner defense to life and property and by a vague and feeble effort to organize. This according to the South is the embryo of an uprising. THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA MUST RISE UP AGAINST ALL CONDITIONS THAT MILITA MAGAINST THEIR PROGRESS AND SOLIDARITY.

They hope to use us (the colored workers) for a period before we wake up, even though they permitted the American and foreigner to push us aside until their (the capitalists) rotten system of wage slavery was endangered. The proof of the foregoing assertions is reflected in the attitude of certain labor organizations. The Knights of Labor founded in 1869 as well as the National Labor Union founded three (3) years earlier discarded all distinctions of race, creed, or color. The American Federation of Labor, founded in 1886 started on the same principles, but, we are told it soon instituted the system of separate unions and in 1902 passed a from local unions, city or central resolution excluding colored men labor bodies. This condition, however, has been adjusted recently and the Federation is now on a broader basis in that angle. But our purpose is not to write a history of labor organizations, but to show why the colored worker is being sought by organized labor at this time. There are still, however, that discriminate, but they generally assume an apologetic attitude rather than a boastful one for their narrow and backward stand. Now, after summarizing all over available information, we come to this conclusion. The white man's invitation to colored workers is an experiment, and its sincerity will be commensurate with the success of the experiment. The colored man is now (as he was fifty years ago) in a position to aid organized labor in its fight against the avaricious capitalists who have no regard for laws, customs, traditions of humanity or anything that tends to disturb their system of dollar-getting; or he may by his inability to grasp the situation, or by his indisposition to wage his share of the fight for the common good of all, force labor to devise other methods of solving its present problems. In such event the colored worker must feel the force of the power of organized labor turned against him in an effort once more to eliminate him from whatever sphere of industry that his presence may tend to endanger the working-man's recognized standards of life. If such a course is the one out of the present deliberations then more harsh and rigorous discrimination will be practised than ever before, as a necessary measure. We believe that organized labor is sincere as regards the colored work- TO THE PROMOTION OF SEGREGATION, TO THE ABSENCE OF A PUBLIC LIBRARY WITHIN OUR MIDST.

His public record will be held in close and continual scrutiny and he will be supported by all public institutions in all worthy issues. The history of the race is being written on the heart of Chicago. Let the history be a "record of achievement". THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT Elisha Winslow, was born in Highland County, North Carolina, and came to Chicago in 1856. Previous to his coming to Chicago he had been a resident of Wilmington, Ohio, this being the first resident he had in the North. Mr. Winslow stands unique as he is one of the few survivors of slavery and was transported to Ohio over the famous "Underground railway", and many of the very interesting narratives he tells of his journey in connection with his trip on the "Underground" would fill a few chapters. At the present writing Mr. Winslow enjoys the dictation of being the only living survivor of the famous "Lady Elgin", a steam-boat that foundered off the shore of Racine, Wisconsin, about 1859. The "Lady Elgin" was an excursion steamer and was londed with over 500 passengers from Chicago and making the round trip to Milwaukee; a violent storm came up and the boat was unable to make port; it was an old side wheeler and one of the first steamers to ply the lakes. Mr. Winslow was employed as a waiter and was below in the dining room when the boat began to sink and in company with the cook John Collins, also colored, they went on deck and grabbed life preservers and jumped into the raging waters. "It was during a big storm and the thunder and lighting was such as I have never witnessed before nor since. Somehow Collins and I managed to keep together—just how I don't know. We were hurled and tossed thru the struction rather than those of constructive nature. One condition of the walk-out of last summer after the riots, was the agreement, that, as distastefully as was the proposition of again working with non-union men and women, the members of the Council would return to work wherever the militia and police were removed. This was done, and not one act of violence has occurred to justify any claim that working men will to any great extent injure each other if left alone. H. E.

Many of the facts gleaned from Mr. Winslow, were used after he became President and some of them were the instruments used to empress the Cabinet with the necessity of issuing the Proclamation of Emancipation. After the advent of the Sleeping and dinning car service Mr. Winslow gave up the hotel business and entered the employee of the Pullman company and was one of the first porters to make the thrue run to California, and remained in the service for 35 years, or until five years ago when he was placed on pension. "I am a charter member of the North Star lodge of Masons, which was the first lodge organized in the State of Illinois for colored people. I remained active in this lodge until it grew so large we decided to set up another; I then as one of the men selected to organized what later was called the "John Jones lodge." We met at the "Hawkins House" and the lodge was set up. The "Hawkins House" was the best place in Chicago, where a colored man could stop and altho it was owned and operated by a colored man it was patronized by many white people. William Hawkins came to Chicago from Fremont, Ohio. at which place he owned a farm. He was also connected with the "Underground" and came West for the purpose of opening up new stations, after he left Chicago he settled some where The pastor will preach this Sunday at 11 o'clock; subject, "The Holy Spirit."

When asked why they don't marry they invariably reply: "It's cheaper to buy an automobile than worry with a husband for they are both luxuries." The daughters have long been considered to be the most popular women in the City of Chicago, and have always been active in those things that were for the amusement, betterment, and uplift of their people.

With the Republicans divided on the question, there was no prospect of legislation by the present Congress, and for that reason, if for no other, the President's suggestion that the caucus refrain from committing Democrats in advance of the National Convention was eminently wise. Republicans have been clever enough to keep their disagreement under cover, but the minority, made up mostly of Southerners and dominated as usual by parochial leaders, has gone boldly on record without regard to consequences. Thus the policy of a great party is determined once more by the color line. Because the South wanted to deprive the Negro of strong drink, Democratic doctrine has been repudiated and our system of government revolutionized by Nation-wide Prohibition. Because the South objects to the training of the Negro, the Democratic party is made responsible for a premature and unrepresentative declaration which will most certainly be used to its disadvantage. Statesmanship that never rises above a purpose to subjugate a race is of a poor order and accounts for most of the deficiencies of the Democratic Party today. The political alignment which makes Democratic representation in Congress almost wholly Southern, although Northern Democrats constitute a vast majority of the voters, would be bad enough if it were merely sectional. When it has no inspiration but hostility to the Negro, no aim but to keep him down, no principles that he cannot frighten into abeyance and no sense of right or justice that rememberance of him does not instantly stifle, the situation becomes insufferable. No true Democratic Party can be officered in this fashion and live—New York World.

About 1560 persons were killed at railroad crossings in the United States last year. Most of them were in automobiles. Some didn't look; others didn't listen, and very many tried to beat the train across the tracks. Men waste hours and hoard seconds. A fellow will loaf all day and then risk his life in his hurry to cross a congested street, or race across a track Alone--With Your Help We BERTY I. INSURANCE CO.

It's better to get there late than not at all. Everybody knows this, of course! But the headline that tells of a family wiped out at a railroad crossing has become a commonplace of the day's news. “Stop, Look, Listen!” is the classic among snappy slogans. Everybody knows it by heart, but nearly everybody forgets it when he needs it most. LAW OF AVERAGES (Cleveland Press.) Gamblers used to be the only ones that used the law of averages. By it many men have tried to make systems to beat the bank at Monte Carlo. But now the law of averages is a basic scientific law of business. Fred C. Kelly tells about it in his new book, "Human Nature in Business." Here are some of the Workings of the law of averages in the business world, as told in Kelly's book: One man out of every three wears a 15 collar, bout size 14 does not fit one man in ten. Out of every 1000 men 230 wear size $6\%$ hat, but only one man wears size $6\%$. Ticket sellers at circuses pick up an average of $20 apiece for each performance, left by people who walk off and forget their change. Rain in the forenoon hurts business. Rain in the afternoon helps business. The shady side of a street has 24 per cent more pedestrians then the sunny side: It is the cooler side in summer and the drier in winter. A business man can be enticed away from work most easily on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday also is the best day to sell him goods. The largest mail order business in the world weights each wagonload of mail and, by the law of averages, instantly knows how much money it contains. Of 1000 customers in a restaurant 67 will order soup, 14 order fruit, 288 order pie or ice cream and 355 will take club luncheon. Thus does the law of chance, paradoxially, become the law of certainty. We Can Do Anything!" LIFE COMPANY STOCK COMPANY own and $5.00 per month. The more stockholders we for all concerned.
