Tuskegee And Wilberforce Will Play Game Here CLAIM POWERS RESTAURANT CO. USED FAKE INJUNCTION TO REMOVE PICKETS Read The Whip YOUR Newspaper PICKET GROUP PLANS TO FIGHT WRIT AND CONTINUE CAMPAIGN Members of the Negro Employees Improvement Association, the group which established a picket on the 47th street Powers restaurant in their fight to secure jobs as counter men, cooks and cashiers in this and other restaurants of the community claim this week that the Powers Restaurant company used a fake injunction to to remove the pickets, and then hood-winked the police into enforcing the fake writ. Receiver Says Only $1,200 Cash At Roosevelt Bank; No Hope Of Dividends In support of these charges, Calvin Sanders president of the association, and leader of the picket movement, points out that although the picket was removed through the court officer's official stamp, court writ on rushed Sanders' examination of the copy served on the association revealed that it had not been signed by a court official and did not bear the official stamp or a docket number. In further support of the charge that the Powers restaurant representatives resorted to a slick trick to remove the picket. Sanders points out that on the next day Sept. 50 another copy of an injunction was served on the court officer's signature of a court officer's official stamp and a docket number. This second real injunction was dated Sept. 30. a day after the fake writ had been served and enforced by the police, involving the arrest of one of the pickets. Seek To Dissolve Writ Seek to Discuss With The officials of the Negro Employees Improvement Association retained Atty. Arthur W. Mitchell to represent them in their fight to have the injunction dissolved. Attorney Mitchell has made his appearance in court, and will protest the injunction before Judge Lindsay of the Superior court, who granted the true injunction to Powers. The injunction was granted by Judge Lindsay after hearing only (Continued on page 3). (The $25,000 or more depositors whose savings were tied up in the closing of the Rosenbelt-Bankers State Bank, most of whom are residents of the south side have but small hope of even a very small return on the deposit in the form of dividends, judging from the report of the receivers which was made public last week. The total resources of the bank, according to the report, total only $930,842.75 while the balance due to the depositors and other creditors of the bank are placed at $1,169,791.40. Of the total assets of the bank, the receivers have been able to realize only $1,200 in cash for the depositors during the fourteen months since the bank was closed. While only slightly more than a thousand dollars is available for the depositors, it is significant that the process of having deducted $20,000 for receivers fees, $17,000 for it, fees and $22,375.27 for clerk and stenographer compensation. Another item of expense which has not been fully explained in the published report is one of $30,996.79 for "miscellaneous expense." Thus the total expenses. Thus the total expense for liquidating the bank amount to $86,328.03, in order to retrieve a total of $1,200 for the receivers. At the time when the bank was closed the state auditor on August 2, 1933, financed the finances of the institute and been hopelessly involved by the maneuverings of the officers.

The fighting was precipitated when the police slugged several of the crowd who were carrying furniture back into the home of an colored tenant. Earlier in the evening a crowd had gathered near the scene of the eviction. Communist leaders addressed them, urging them to replace the furniture in the home from which it had been removed. When police arrived the furniture was being carried back in to the house. When police struck the gathering a general fight started. Several blocks away the body of a colored man was found, through the head. He is believed to have been struck by a stray bullet. TEAMSWILL KICK-OFF AT MILLSPARK TEAMSWILL KICK-OFF AT MILLSPARK By GEORGE SYDNEY After much dickering on the part of the directors of athletics of Tuskegee Institute and Wilberforce university, at the latter institution over the week-end, a last-minute decision was reached at 4:17 Monday afternoon when two public-spirited Chicagoans, lending their assistance to the cause, mapped out ways and means to stage the annual "Tusk-Force" gridiron classic here on October 24 as was prearranged. The heralding of its cancellation last Wednesday, Sept. 30, doesn't hold good—the football game positively will be held here, the scene of battle being the Mills Stadium at Lake street and Kilpatrick avenue. Through the efforts of Mr. Clifford O Starks, owners of the Chicago American Giants garage and King Cole, of the Metropolitan Funeral system, the site was secured for taging of the game after plans to play at Soldiers Field had fallen through. Much credit is due these men for their initiative and interest in locating what possible interest in football, and their timely action to bring the midwest classic to Chicago again. Sox Park Denica What came as a distinct shock to the athletic councils of both schools and to the football-loving public was the announcement eight days ago that the Tuskegee-Wilberforce date was dropped from the Soldier Field list in favor of Hastings col- (Continued on page 9.)

Carter was shot in the left side, stomach, and leg. Police believe that Carter was deliberately "pinned on the spot" by the gunman of the gunman.

BINGA BANK DIVIDEND CHECKS TURNED INTO NEW ACCOUNTS WITH THE DOUGLASS NATIONAL BANK MURDERS MAN WITH BILLIARD CUE OVER GAME CINCINNATT, Ohio. Oct. 7. — A heated quarrel over a billiard game ended in murder in a billiard parlor here last week when an unidentified man beat to death George Jones, 28 years old, with the heavy end of a billiard cue. The two men came into the hall and began a game of billiards for money. Apparently the both had been drinking, and became involved in a quarrel over the game. Twice the proprietor was forced to quiet them under threat of putting them off of the place. The unknown man won the last game, and the quarrel was resumed. Before any one could stop him, the unknown man began to beat Jones on the head with his cue. BINGA BANK DI TURNED INTO NEW THE DOUGLASS The announcement last week that the Douglass National Bank was willing and prepared to accommodate the thousands of Binga Bank depositors who had received their first dividend from the Binga Bank by cashing their checks won a definite and fine response from those who had cheeks from the receiver of Binga Bank. According to officials of the Douglass Bank many of the depositors of the Binga Bank in face of all the bank closures were at last willing to recognize the fact that The Douglass National Bank had withstood all the storms and was still serving the community, and should have the wholehearted support of the people of the southside. Officials Pleased The Douglass Bank officials were gratified to see that the willingness of the people to cooperate was still strong in face of their losses. This return of confidence is thought by many to be the forerunner of greater things for the colored people in Chicago in that with this return of confidence in themselves and their institutions means that anything no matter how large, can be attempted in spite of the current depression. Once again, said one prominent business man, the face is borne home to us that if the people of the southside put their ten or twenty million dollars which is spread all over the city in the Doug- TWELVE PAGES SED CKETS Corpse S BURR OAK BROWN FOR N DAMAGES futile search for the remains of band, in which nearly a hundred petery were opened in vain. Mrs. a avenue has filed suit for $100- petery corporation and a ad charge of the burial. In her declaration, Mrs. Ganaway seeks damages for the reason that she has suffered great mental anguish and physical disabilities because of loss of the body of her deceased husband, Henry Ganaway, who was supposed to have been buried in Burr Oak Cemetery shortly after his death in May 1929, and in addition has been deprived of the sacred right of decorating her husband's grave. When pressed by the widow, the officials of the cemetery, are said to have dug up more than seventy-five bodies in a frantic effort to locate Ganaway's body. Widow Demands Search According to report, Mrs. Ganaway left the city for about six months immediately after the alleged burial. Upon her arrival back into the city, she went to visit her husband's grave. At the entrance of the cemetery, Mrs. Ganaway met a Mr. Folsum, white superintendent of the plot, who directed her to Grave 1, Let 119 as that of her husband. But upon arriving there, Mrs. Ganaway is said to have differed with Mr. Folsum, because she said she remembered walking up a slope nearly fifty feet at the time (Continued on page 3).

Such assistance is not now forthcoming from any other source. Offers Convenience And Service The fact that the Douglass Bank is located in the very heart of the colored district means that there is a natural convenience which no other bank offers. Combined with this fact is the fact that it is officered and owner by colored people who know the needs of the community and by experience should know the best manner in which to meet these needs. The convenience ex- depositors of the Binga Bank who started new accounts at the Douglass expressed both willingness and a desire to reward service as well as merit while taking advantage of the convenience. The continued indifference which many banks show colored depositors when approached for assistance apparently for no other reason than the matter of color may be another reason for this swing to the Douglass National, said one keen observer on commercial affairs and is perhaps just the beginning of a new awakening among a people who have been kicked about just once too often. HUSBAND USES DYNAMITE TO AVENGE SELF ON RIVAL BLASTS LOVE THIEF WITH DYNAMITE AS HE LAY ON DEFILED BED SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 7.—A hideous and violent revenge was visited upon the man who had defiled his home and wrecked his happiness last week by John Williams, a quarry laborer, who blast the man who had stolen his wife to death with a stick of dynamite, as he lay across the bed in Williams' home.

Williams had accused Long of attempting to break up his home, but Long claimed that he came to the house to visit Mrs. Williams' niece, who also lived there. Seemingly satisfied with this explanation, Williams let the matter of the gossip pass, and seemingly thought no more about it. Caught Red Handed On Wednesday of last week Williams left home to go to the quarry for three days. Instead, he doubled back the next night, and returned to his home, where he peered in the bed room window and saw his wife in her lover's arms. Williams went to the front door and knocked, then quickly stole back to the partly open bed room window. His wife went to the front door to answer the knock, while Long, half clad, srawled cut on the bed. Williams lighted a stick of dynamite which he had stolen from the quarry and wilt into the room on the bed. Almost at once the dynamite exploded, almost wrecking the frame cottage, and hideously mutiating Long, who was killed instantly. Mrs. Williams ran screaming to the street, where she was seized by her husband and badly beaten. Neighbors called the police and Williams, who made no attempt to escape, surrendered to them. BUSINESS MEN RALLY TO AID URBAN LEAGUE Twenty five or more of Chicago's younger business men and women met recently at the Vincennes hotel where they were the guests of Walter Abernathy, and discussed plans for assisting the Urban League, not only in its present campaign for memberships but in its regular program as well. Charles Murray of the Murray Products company and one of the League's staunchest supporters, plied the same support to the organization that he gave last year. It will be recalled that at the suggestion of one of his employees, each of the persons employed in his company gave one dollar each month to the League for a period of six months. This amount was matched by the company itself and Mr. Murray added a personal gift each month of five dollars. In all, the company and its employees gave the League about $160.00 F. D. Gardner, representing Poro College told how he had brought the matter to the attention of the employees of that great institution and pledged his cooperation in securing permanent support for the League from Poro employees as well as from the company itself. It is anticipated that Mrs. Malone, president of the company, will make a liberal contribution. Madam Marguerita Ward has pledged twenty-five per cent of salaries made at the Waltree store at South Parkway and 47th street and at her home office on Michigan avenue near 47th beginning October 1st and continuing it six months. Mr. Holloman, president of the Pyramid Insurance company stated that the company itself would contribute liberally. Major R. R. Jackson and Ec. I. P. Dickerson presented the needs of the organization and Hon. William E. King made a strong plea for financial aid. Twenty-two presidents became members of the committee and began solicitation of the larger businesses in the district.

The killing took place about an hour after the father and son had engaged in a violent quarrel. The son, who was 23 years of age, had caused his father considerable trouble, having made companions of questionable character, and recently having tended to drink. Shortly after the father had returned home from work Friday evening, he caught his son in the act of smugging Catherine Phillips into his bed room, and ordered them both out of the house. Young Harrison had been drinking, and became angry. His father pushed him and the woman out of the house and locked the door. Attacks Woman In a short while a friend came to warn Harrison that his son was in the home of Zora Johnson, the woman the father was engaged to marry, and was threatening her with harm. Harrison rushed to the house, in time to see young Harrison beating Mrs. Jackson with his firsts. As the father rushed up to protect the woman, the son whipped out a switch blade knife, and lunged at him. Harrison dodged the blow, and as his son, with an oath, returned to the attack, the father drew a gun and warned that he would shoot if the boy approached him. Disregarding the warning, young Harrison lunged again at his father, who fired at close range, wounding him fatally in the chest. Harrison in no effort to escape but remained until the police arrived, and if n surrendered himself. He was arraigned on a charge of first degree murder, and held under ball of $25,000.

Then followed the wholesale effort to the part of the grave diggers to and the body but none was identified as that of Mr. Ganaway nor was she a coffin found similar to that in which he was originally placed. Seeks Legal Means Failing in all of these efforts on the part of the cemetery officials, Mrs. Ganaway sought legal aid. An investigation into the financial condition of the Burr Oak Cemetery corporation showed that this plot in Worth Township was purchased for $40,000. $20,000 in cash with a first mortgage of $20,000. Not long after the valuation was raised to nearly a half million dollars and a $100-bond issue begun through the Bankers State Bank. According to a statement from State Auditor Nelson's assistant, J. Joworski, the bonds we付, of no value because the $20,000 first mortgage on the place had been disrecorded and the bonds in the $100,000 issue were appurposed as first claims on the property. The case is now pending in the Superior court with the probability of appearing on the calendar at an early date. In the meantime, no satisfactory explanation could be given of how Ganaway's body disappeared from the coffin and grave in which the widow saw it buried.

C., MAN CONVICTED OF RAPE ON WHITE GIRL WINS HIS FREEDOM KANSAS CITY, Oct. 7 — Reddish Gibson is free. After seven months behind prison walls, as he began his sentence of 35 years for the alleged rape of a white girl, Gibson was given a new lease on life when Judge Darius A. Brown declared the evidence on which he had been convicted was totally insufficient. The youth was brought to trial some weeks ago and C. H. Calloway, Wm Parker, L. A Knox and James H. Herbert, well known colored lawyers, were appointed to represent him. Despite the desperate fight waged by the attorneys the jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Believing that young Gibson was innocent the attorneys for the defendant filed a plea for a new trial, submitting newly discovered evidence and the plea was graned. The case was called three times and each time, the defense was ready but the state was unready. Finally, the case came up and the lad was acquitted. Testimony at the trial revealed that Gibson had been forced to sign a confession when first arrested after being promised that if he confessed he would be given a light sentence and that if he did not he would receive the same treatment, meted out to Raymond Gunn, who was lynched. Under duress Gibson signed the LOOK FOR THE Feilchenf LOOK FOR THE SIGN eilchenfeld Bros.

THE LION MARY MAY confession, stating that "I will sign it but I am not guilty." Another bit of interesting testimony was that Gibson was arrested along with three other suspects. The girl was carried to the police station where she gave them the once-over without being able to identify either of them as her assailant. She declared hat the room in which she was attacked was dark and tat she could not se the face of her attacker. Later she was influenced by one of the detectives on the case to identify Gibson, who is a musician by profession. The attorneys who fought such a battle and successful battle have been highly commended for their interest in the matter as well as Mrs. Fredericka Perry who secured funds to fight the case, and the Kansas City Call local newspaper.

Also it is reported that there was no proof presented before the judge to show any acts of violence, although the right of peaceful picket has been upheld by the U. S. Supreme court. The objections of the association to the injunction will be filed and brought to hearing as so as possible, and if they are successful in having the injunction dissolved, the officials of the organization declared that they will resume their fight for a more equitable policy in the Powers restaurants. Have Community Support Promoters of the picket are encouraged by the very obvious signs of support from the community. In the petition for the granting of the injunction, the Powers company claimed that on the store under the picket, and the others on the side, there are a fifty per cent loss in business since the picket was begun. This statement they will be called upon to prove in the action to dissolve the injunction. Whether the loss of business really mounts that high or not, a check on the restaurants, and interviews with persons living or having business in the vicinity reveals that colored people have taken a tip from the sign which the picket bore and are withholding their patronage from the restaurant until it meets the demand for colored counter men and cooks. The fact each of the Powers restaurants have full creases of colored workers make the unfair position which the Powers company has taken all the more difficult to maintain. Commenting upon the situation, Sonders stated: "The injunction which removed the picket will in no way hold up our program. People with us, and court wrists and unfair methods can do us no harm."

K.'S RAIDS WITHOUT WARRANTS ON GAMBLING DENS The police have been freed of restriction hindering them from raiding known gambling houses without a warrant by a recent opinion issued by Corporation Council W. H. Sexton, giving to the police broader powers of entry, search and arrest in Mayor Cermak's city-wide war on gambling. Whether the opinion will stand the test of the courts however is still to be determined. .... "The question of search and seizure without a warrant, and the question of arrest without a warrant, have sometimes been confused," the opinion states. "Though they are closely related they are quite distinct in law, search and arrest give the stricter measure it an investigation for the purpose of determining whether an arrest shall be made, or for the purpose of procuring evidence for a trial. An independent search of that character can be made only under authority of a warrant. "On the other hand, an incidental search of the person of a prisoner after he has been arrested, or of the house in which he was arrested, is not regarded by the courts as a search and seizure in the constitutional sense such as would require an antecedent search warrant." Ralding squad on the south side who are detailed to clean up policy gambling in the district are already operating under the new ruling.

Burgard had begged the comedian's wife to marry him several times after her estrangement from Anthony, but always put him off. When she returned here with his husband, he renewed his suit, but with the same futility. Last week after Mrs. Anthony had announced that she would return to New York. Burgard came to the house in an ugly mood, and demanded to see her alone. He was overheard shouting to the woman, "Emmett is dead now, so you got to marry me." Mrs. Anthony laughed at his dramatics, and in another moment two sl. ot were heard. When her sister burst into the room they found Mrs. Anthony already dead, with a bullet through her brain. Burgard had fired the other shot into his head, but was not fatally wounded, and was found slumped behind a trunk. Mrs. Anthony is survived by her two sister and her 5 year old scn. Flournoy Anthony.

'GANGSTERS' TRY TO STEAL ELLINGTON'S CAR; COPS ROUT THEM PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7. — In what police described as a raid by "New York gangsters," Duke Ellington's luxurious limosine narrowly escaped being stolen. When police arrived the lock on the musicians car had been broken, and the culprits roared away in their own care which bore a New York license. The mystery of the affair deepened when it became known shortly before the attempted theft, the "gangsters" are said to have "borrowed" some money from Duke, calling him from his hotel for that purpose. A large crowd gathered after valiant policeemen shot in the direction in which the "gangsters" had vanished. Nobody was hit except a lamp post.

Prisoner Refuse Parole Joseph White, a trusty in the Joillet penitentiary, who has served with a perfect record three years of a ten year sentence for robbery declined the parole proffered by the state board of pardons and paroles last week, giving as his explanation that he feaure he would not be able to take care of himself during the long hard winter ahead. When he was informed that he was eligible for parole, White asked the warden not to apply for it. "I get plenty to each here, and have no trouble and not temptations. I don't want to be turned out and have to lock for a job and beg for food this winter. If I don't have to take that parole, I would rather remain here." As the prisoner had no one to sponsor him, or find employment for him the board decided to hold over his case. THE CHICAGO WHIP, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1931 Aids Picket Atty. Arthur W.

When TEETHING makes HIM FUSSY One of the most important things you can do to make a teething baby comfortable is to see that little bowels do their work of carrying off waste matter promptly and regularly. For this nothing is better than Castoria, a pure vegetable preparation specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gently you can give it to young infants to relieve colic. Yet it is always effective, for older children, too. Remember, Castoria contains no harsh drugs, no marotics—is absolutely harmless. When your baby is fretful with teething or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Castoria. Be sure you get genuine Castoria with the name.

Little 3 year old Betty Swing, of 1056 Maxwell street became the star witness for the state, and caused the coroner's jury to reverse an original verdict of accidental death to one of murder, holding James Lee to the grand jury, when she testified as the only eye witness to the slaying of Mrs. Jimmie Sanders Haley, who was shot to death in 1982. The coroner's jury was held by Deputy Coroner George Proctor at the county morgue. The coroner's jury heard the dead woman's father, James Sanders, testify that his daughter had told him the day before her death that she was going to leave her common-law husband, James Lee because he was cruel to her. Sanders said he took this to mean that she was going to move back home. Then little Juanita Swing, 3 years old, mounted the witness stand and testified that she was in the room at the time of the woman's death. She stated that she saw Mrs. Haley get the gun out of a trunk, and pointing it at the floor snapped the trigger twice, without the gun discharging. The child then said that Mrs. Haley pressed the trussel of the gun to her breast and pulled the trigger. This time, according to her story, the gun fired and Mrs. Haley fell to the floor.

Deputy Coroner Proctor questioned the little girl further but she stuck to her statement that she saw Lee draw the gun and shoot the woman.

C., Oct. 7. — Preferring death to facing the disgrace which he brought upon himself and his family, Caufman McBurnett, 30 year old son of a prominent local family, committed suicide in a cell at the county jail while waiting trial on a charge of larceny. McBurnett was popular in society circles of the city, and well known throughout the state. He was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a tailor, charming him with the theft of a pair of trousers. He was arrested at his home and taken into custody in the absence of his father. Under questioning by the police, McBurnett admitted that he had served jail sentences in two other cities for larceny. Fearing that this secret would be discovered by his family and friends when he came to trial, McBurnett ended his own life by hanging himself to a chair of his own. The suicide was discovered by the jail turnkey when he came to feed the prisoner, and found him dangling by the belt dead.

S. Strong segregation against residential segregation will be taken by the newly created Commission on Interracial Relations at which was the outgrowth of the interracial conference held at the Batten Country club last week. The conference was under the joint auspices of the Chicago Urban League and the Interracial commission of the Chicago Church Federation. The conference lasted two days and was, perhaps the most effective conference held in recent months. "We strongly condemn the present practice of restricting areas by neighborhood agreements and covenants along racial lines," one of the resolutions adopted by the conference reads. We urge air-minded officials to refrain from such agreements and covenants; and to help in the creation of a public opinion unfavorable to them. We further urge the permanent commission on interracial relations to challenge the legality of such agreements and covenants and to make test cases wherever possible." Frankness characterized the discussions which dealt with unemployment and housing. Subjects which have formerly been avoided at conferences came in for thei. full share of criticism and when one of the white delegates attempted to tell the colored delegates that "colored people should be patient." he was challenged by several of the colored delegates who expressed the feeling that had been progressed long enough. The campaign which was conducted by THE CHICAGO WHIP was discussed and it was evident that practically all of the colored delegates and many of the white felt that the campaign was justified and that it was a manifes- P IMPROVED MY HEALTH "CARDUI is a wonderful tonic for weak and nervous women," writes Mrs. Lena Catron, 1028 S. 11th St., Clarksville, Tenn.

Carr If recent reports are true, merchants operating stores in the densely populated colored districtnist Gary are assuming the role of stooge-master in nearly every case. A stooge-master was in old English stage days, a trainer of clowns for his own amusement and after the clown had done the master's bidding, he received as a favor a pat on the hail, but still remained a clown far far removed from any of the habits of real men. Less than a year ago, a group of public spirited citizens, when correctly apprised by The CHI-CAGO WHIP, of what they could do if they would started a campaign for the sole purpose of obtaining jobs for unemployed coloredmen and women. It was rightly argued that the first place to obtain positions for the jobless was in their own community which they themselves support. Annual A. Suydam The Steering Committee once formed, began at once to take the appeal direct to the neighborhood merchant. This committee argue colored clerk, cashier and so forth where the trade of the store came principally from the colored citizens. Contrary to expectations, 'little or no opposition was experienced in carrying oct this plan. Almost overnight there was an astonishing change. Five or six storekeepers had pictures of our stores and employees published, of our officers of the man in their advertising copy, and everthing in the way of opposition was apparently erased. More than one hundred men and women were affected by this spirited campaign carried on by the churches and civic societies. A courtesy school was est.blised for the purpose of exposing some of attributes of a successful sales- portion to those who were applying for jobs. Jobs were obtained, he merchants smiled and the patrons crowded into the stores. What Happened Suddenly, a clerk here and there was released indefinitely with regrets. Bad business was the excuse, but white clerks were placed in same positions. Still another, and another entil now nearly all of the positions, which were obtained by showing the merchant and the buyer the new economic idea of the century, have been lost by colored clerks. the other day, one Garyite, a man who saw them build Broadway and the rest of the town said the main cause for the dismissal of these men and women came aboot through the lack of sustained interest on the part of the colored citizens. "An economic fight is never over," he said, "it only stands to reason that when you unbreak into a new field you can't sit down, but you must fight as you never have before, against the white merchant and prejudice to remain there." The employees themselves were so overcome by the sheer subtlety of the white merchant that they too have just begun to realize now at they sould still be in their former positions. The whole campaign must begin all over again now UNLESS the citizens of Gary will elect to become stooges of the neighborhood merchant — spend when he says spend and receive a pat on the back instat of a job for doing so. Colored Population in Gary Gains Rapidly The percentage increase in Gary's Negro population from 1920 to 1930 was greater than that of any other city in the United States excepting one, according to federal census figures appearing in a recent issue of The United States Daily. Gary's Negro population as figured by the 1930 federal census was 17,922, or an increase of 238.2 percent over 1920, when the total was only 5,299, the printed table shows. The percentage of increase in the Negro population compares with 57.8 percent increase in the white population which rose from 50,044 in 1920 to 78,922 in 1930, according to the table. Gary's total population, according to the 1930 census, was 100,426. Queens Borough, N. Y., is shown as the only city whose increase in Negro population from 1922 to 1930 exceeded that of Gary, Queens Borough's percentage of increase appears in the table as 263.5. Gary's Indian, Chinese and Japanese "populations" all decreased between 1920 and 1930, it is shown. The respective population figures for 1930 were Indian, 2; Chinese, 13, and Japanese, 7. The city's 1920 census figures showed 4 Indians, 21 Chinese and 10 Japanese. Gary's Indian, Chinese and Japanese "populations" all decreased between 1920 and 1930, it is shown.

PRISON CAMP BOSS THEN SETS HIM FREE JURY HEARS STORY OF N.C. PRISON CAMP BOSS THEN SETS HIM FREE RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 7. It took only thirty minutes for a jury of twelve southern white men to come to the conclusion that Gordon Watkins, former prison camp superintendent was not guilty of causing the death of Willie Bellamy who died a year ago in prison Camp No. 5 as result of severe maltreatment supposedly at the hands of Watkins. Last October he was tried and convicted of a charge of assault with a deadly weapon but a higher court reversed the decision. H. B. Thompson, the first witnes for the state blurted forth upon being cross examined that he thought Watkins did "right. I think so yet." This remark, however, was stricken from the records. Ivey McCrimmon, a convict, testified for the state also, but the credibility of his testimony was obviously questioned by all who heard it. Bellamy, it was learned, was convicted of a liquor violation sent to the Wake County jail for ninety days. A few days later he was transferred to the prison camp. Trouble arose between him and the authorities when he refused something to eat. SLAVERY IN LIBERIA Off To Firestone Plantation INSTALLMENT SIX THE NEXT DAY at no forty-mile trip to the stone Company.

Nothing whatever has been done to it for over a year and consequently it is necessary to drive with caution. The trip requires all of three hours. Entering A New World Entering A New World To meter into this largest of the three Firststone plantations is to enter a totally different world, a picture of what this beautiful country might be under intelligent control. In just eight years a model development has been carved out of what is now the world's largest. The miles of roads running in all directions, well crowned, drained and bridged, could hardly be improved, and workers, clerks and superintendents are well housed.

Some day it would seem. Liberia should greatly profit from the train- ing these natives are receiving and which they could get nowhere else in the republic. Seeking the Firestone company's :- In The Air :- By W. H. A. MOORE The caste situation in India has its counterpart, different only in characteristics in the United States of America. In either instance the effect is the same. In India, its maintenance has made the Hindoo easy victims of the most pig-headed system of exploitation the modern world has had the privilege to witness. The Indian civilization is ancient, refined, intellectual. Its literature, its art an indo sine respects its music is full shot with exalted feeling; and its expressed philosophy of life is packed with a superior wisdom and ornamented with exquisite traceries of beauty. Yet Hindoo life, today, is a sorry special mess. The answer is caste! Cast! CAST! The historical and cultural backgrounds of the Western Hemisphere Negroid elements are not as deep rooted nor are they as superbly alive to the pressure of social responsibility at the subjugated Indian. In Brazil, United States, the island of Hayat, Cuba and the Lesser Antilles it is the presence of CASTE that is working sad havoc with the social, political and economic life of the undermen of the Western Hemisphere. The hot bed of color prejudice is everywhere about imong. Western Hemisphere Negroids, Which prove in wide measure that there isn't much difference between backward and forward after all. Caste is CASTE and thats all there is to be said about the cussed matter. I get a jolly "kick" out of talking with an occasional man who drops unexcusively oft times, bits of solid social wisdom. I dropped in on Dr Ebbit, the Bluit of good red Texas blood, the oth. day and found him rather interested in what he called "Some of the signs of the times." Depression came in for a passing mention or two, but what he had so say in another direction struck me as being full of meaty substance. Among some of the talk he said; "This race of ours is growing. It's growing slow, probably, but it is going along in what I call the easy stages of up and up progress. Every day I have the good privilege to meet it more than goodly number of our folks. They talk differently nowadays. I find that intelligence, solid intelligence, is spreading fast among them. Young and the older, it doesn't seem to make much difference, are now talking about getting along in the world. They are getting to be more practical. Even the recent bank crashes hasn't discouraged them. We may not be up-to-date in every particular but we are coming for it." A little longer than a few weeks on I left by automobile for a Du River Plantation of the Fire- dirt road, perhaps the best in Liard. Nothing whatever has been consequently it is necessary to acquires all of three hours. Liberians were first employed as troublesome, litigious and inefficient that they ad to be replaced by Negroes from the Gold Coast, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. There are some liberian foremen remaining but many have been replaced by natives. The superintendents are all Americans with the exception of the director of the tree nursery, a Dutchman. Firestone Largest Employer The Firestone company is the largest employer of labor in Liberia and quite naturally considerable ibes of iberia live in the most fluences of the coast country. lage life of the natives of the interest must attach to its treat- clers, but were found to be so ment and payment of that labor. I found that the workers get the stan- dard Liberian wage of one shilling a day, six pence being deducted for food. Skilled workers like chau- fiers, mechanics, nursery workers and so forth, receive from one to four shillings a day. In the begin- ning, common laborers were paid e Air :- since I had found occasion to mention that it was my opinion that Washington Park had become a God-send to the colored people in Chicago in more than a single direction. My attention to the subject was again brought to view by what Dr. Love Eaker said to me, day or two ago. A quiet, unobtrusive man is this same Dr. Baker. He is hard to draw out of the depths of a reticence that is all too deep I feel. But it seems he had spent a part of a day in Washington Park with a small group of friends who were enjoying the felicities of a picnic party. "Do you know," he remarked, in his quiet way. "Washington Park is working wonders for our people. This beautiful spot is having. I hone-ly believe, the most, wholesome kind of influence on the people. There was a time when I dreaded to visit the place. But in these days and times I found that to be a real experience. The people are better behaved in every respect. The picnic parties are more orderly than formerly. It is even getting to be the favorite of the average family. A common sight is the man and the wife with their families taking advantage of the health giving situations that abound in this real resort. I'm for Washington Park first, last and all the time. I'm here to tell you." Candidates in the front of us, candidates behind us and on either side of us is the situation in which the average citizen finds himself or herself in these strenuous times of depression. Well, let the best ones win whoever they may be is all I have to say about the whole blessed thing. Whenever, it seems, somebody comes to town who has attained an unusual position of acclaim somebody rushes into view with a testimonial at so much a ticket to give the distinguished owner a chance the high regard which they are held for. Folks in Chicago at so much per ticket. A spacious practice of appreciation that ought to be stopped. The recent attempt to use the well earned celebrity of Richard B Harrison is a good case in point. The practice in my humble opinion ought to be stopped. The Chicago Art and Culture Society is making a real bid for public favor in a quiet way. Its Winter program has been issued by Secretary Loring Moore and contains some good matter. Percival Prattis spoke to the Society last Saturday night on the present conditions in the island of Hayti. Prattis was there. All of which brings to mind the fact that if you see it in the WHIP, ITS SO. from two to four shillings a day, unheard of, fabulous wages in Liberia, but the Government objected, saying that Liberian farmers were protesting on the ground that the high wages drew away their labor. Even bank clerks in Monrovia get put two pounds, ten shilling a month. At one time the Firestone Liberian payroll exceeded $100000 annually. The laborers work at will, only a 1 percentage ever drawing a full month's salary out of a total of 3.0 workers now employed on the Du River plantation. 66 per cent turn out daily. So there seems to be nothing to the rumor that the men or driven. The workers are housed in sixteen camps resambling Jiminative native villages. Each camp is ruled by a native headman elected by the workers and under their direction they perform their daily tasks. The men will not work under undesirable headmen and the company respects their wishes. I found the camps neat, clean and sanitary, much more so indeed than Monrovia. primitive fashion, entirely out The picture above gives a view interior. There are seldom members of more than one tribe in a camp. Natives Are Skilled The company has a nursery of 545,000 young rubber trees and the delicate work of grafting is done entirely by natives. The automobiles and truck are operated and largely repaired by natives in an they do other work, resulting skill such as constructing roads and culverts and building concrete bridges. Some day it would seem, Liberia should greatly profit from the training these natives are receiving and which they could get nowhere else in the republic. Seeking the Firestone company's answer to the statements made by President Barclay, I went to the office of W. D. Hines, the resident manager of the Firststone plantations who has been in Liberia since the beginning of the project. Mr. Hines remarks of the Chief Executive, but politely proceeded to relate the whole history of the company's efforts in Liberia. In answer to my question concerning the President's claim that PICKET JIM CROW MOVIE IN PHILA.; NEWSPAPER AIDS PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 7. Because they have been discriminated against right in the midst of one of the city's most densely populated Negro districts, the colored people of West Philadelphia headed by prominent laymen and ministers have decided to exert all of the pressure possible upon the management of Fays theater that it might realize that a segregated theater, especially in the midst of a color section in this town, is decidedly unprofitable and not wanted. In speaking of the situation as it now stands, the Rev. J. W. Moss, now pastor of the Memorial Baptist church stated: "To the time it has come when Negroes can afford to show people that they can not spend Negro money and heap insults up the mat the same time." Several civic organizations have placed pickets in front of the show house with the result that there has been a marked falling off of colored patronage. This action was brought about as result of the Fays theater's management sudden change of policy. When it first opened it was heralded as a show with an all colored personnel. This was found out to be only a gesture, because in a few days all of the colored help was released and colored patrons were relegated to the right side of the balcony and denied seats in any other part of the place. Thus far, the Philadelphia Tribune a weekly newspaper, has taken a decided stand in favor of the colored patrons and it is believed that with the cooperation it should receive from the civic organizations from the ministry and lawmen, the theater will either be closed or acede to the demands of the public. --- Firestone company had insisted the Government must build roads so that rubber might be taken to port Mr. Hines drove me in his car to Landing No. 10 on the Du river, where there are rehouses, a small dock an dessevel large motor launches moored. He explained that such rubber as has been produced is shipped from that point to the mouth of the river at Marshall, where it is loaded aboard ship, thus making completely unnecessary transportation by land. He pointed out that the small and much older Motor Company had built an astride of a Liberian road that was constructed long before the Firestone company entered the country. Dentes "Pressure When I mentioned the accusation of President Barley that the Firestone Company, through the American Legation, sought to get the Government to use pressure to increase the flow of labor to the plantations, he replied: "There was always a sufficient supply of labor until former District Commissioner David Carter (now jailed on charges of murder) began to interfere with laborers en route to the plantations in order to extract illegal feud from them or to divert them to forced labor on the Government roads. "Upon being requested to stop the practice, Commissioner Carter refused to then President King. I immediately took up the matter with the President, but the only thing he woul dday was that if the American Minister would make the quee that the Firststone company would be supplied with more labor it would be furnished. "I replied that I could dmake no such request of the American Minister, nor could I see where he had anything to do with it. A high Liberian o...ial was interfering with our labor supply and I was merely asking that this interf cease cease. However, President King communicated that he would be permitted then American Minister, concerning the matter. Mr. Francis replied at first that he would have nothing to do with the matter. Upon King's further insistence, Mr. Francis stated that he saw no reason why an American corporation should not be permitted to have all the labor it desired." Mr. Hines expressed the opinion that the whole scheme was to make the American Government appear to be forcing the Liberian Government to supply the Firestone company with labor. I discovered that the was not a shred of correspondence in the files of the American Legation to support President Barclay's charge. Denies League Spur The Firestone manager stated, in answer to the charge that his company inspired the League of Nations investigation, that as they had never had any difficulty in getting sufficient labor, except when interfered with by Liberian officials, there was no reason for the company to complain against the exportation of a fe $ _{10}$ hundred laborers mentioned the fact that they were before Lilian, criticized for permitting this traffic in "boys" and that Thomas J. R. Pasigler, wealthy merchant and head of the People's Party, had been a frequent and outspoken accuser of Government officials in that connection. He suggested that perhaps Faulkner's charges may have speeded the investigation. It is true that 15,000 laborers are a whole lot to recruit from the scattered villages, and one might be excused for crediting rumors that force was used. And yet, from my travels in the interior, where money is so scarce and so desired, I can see where even at the peak of its operations the Firestone company needed no force to get labor.

President WILEY BEATS XAVIER IN NOCTURNAL TILT 49-0 The Chicago White Sox, of the south side and the Cubs, of the north side, have settled their "civil" war, and the glory of the series goes to the south side entry. The Sox won the seventh game of the series Tuesday afternoon at the Cubs' park. Those Comiskey hirelings played the Cubs off their feet thru out the games played. They outhit their rivals, outpitched them on the slab and presented a tighter defensive brand of play. They won because they played the game in a manner that is characteristic of city champions. There's no getting around that, even though this department did concede the Cubs the biggest chance of winning the series. Manager Hornsby of the Cubs had the arrogance to ask Donie Bush why it was that the Sox didn't play that type of baseball they showed in the series, all season. The question can be answered in a number of ways. But first I, along with some several thousands of Chicago baseball fans would like to know just why this Hornsby gentleman, Kiki Cuyler, Hack Wilson, et al, folded up in their world series against the Philadelphia Athletics two years ago? The persons named were so consistent with their bludgeons all during the season that they called themselves "murderers row." When it came their time to engage in the season's biggest series, they appeared as if they were the "convicted murderers row." All they did was, simply set a record for strikeouts in that series. The White Sox, as we all know has been used to going up against such hard teams as the Athletics, the New York Yankees, the Washington Senators and the Cleveland Indians all year. They made their best showing against the American League's strongest teams. There's no need to wonder why they maltreated the in and out Chicago Cubs. True enough, the Cubs finished in second place in the National league, but maybe there's something to that saying about the competition is greater in the American circuit. THE CARDINALS SHOULD BEAT A's— Gabby Street's St. Louis Cardinals, as this is written are again tied with Connie Mack's Athletics at two game each. If old Lady Luck gives the Elephants of Philly a recess and assume a friendly attitude to the Mound City Red Birds, the National league should get its first world champion baseball nine since 1926. This is said while pondering the lingering luck of the Athletics that has followed them through two seasons. I don't mean to infer that Connie's proteges are a bunch of second-raters, nor do I mean to convey that they have lucked out in the games they have won, but I do wish to bring out my opinion that the Cards are just as great a team as the present world champions. The records for the current season shows that the Cards are a better team than the Athletics man for man. They have among their personnel six 300 hitters while the Athletics have only two. They don't happen to have any pitchers boasting such records as those of Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, but the fact that they have hit this pair hard in this series off-sets any overwhelming degree of superiority that a person may think Messrs Grove and Earnshaw possess. Too much cannot be said about John Lester "Pepper" Martin, the fleet-footed centerfielder of the St. Louis Cards. He is a player with nerves and ability, which counts much in a short series that means so much as this one does. His running away with Mickey Cochrane, "the world's greatest catcher," labels him as a new comer who is not gripped with stage-fright. The St. Louis Stars, a Colored baseball team of the Negro National League, also have a man on their team with the flash and punch of John "Pepper" Martin. That person is none other than Wells, scintillating shortfielder of the club. His play in the nine game series here last year against the big league All-Stars was very much similar to that of Martin's. We are inclined to think that St. Louis makes it a specialty of producing sensational ball players. Again I will say the Cards will win if they get any "breaks" of the games. Up in Milwaukee, some 80 or 90 miles from here, the N. B. A. is holding an elimination tournament to get a fighter to fill the vacancy in the middleweight division. Ever since the boxing moguls suspended Mickey Walker, then recognized 160-pound champion, there hasn't been a king of the middleweight fighters. The pick of America's best middleweightts were thrown into the tourney at the beer city with the purpose of naming the survivor as Mickey Walker's successor. Tait Littman, slugging pug from Philadelphia, Clyde Chastian, bounding warrior of Milwaukee, Roy Williams, Jack McVey, Tiger Thomas, Gorilla Jones and Clivelli were brought into competition. The result was that Jones and Clivelli won over their white opponents. Now they are trying to induce Harry Smith and Dave Shade to enter the elimination with the belief that they can erase Jones and Clivelli from the tournament. The Tourney has been featured with upsets galore. Probably Shade and Smith are giving much thought to that phase of the elimination rounds. Both Smith and Shade are regarded as the middleweight champion in different sections of the country. The California Boxing commission openly named Smith as their champion while New York favors Shade. A Shade-Smith bout, if ever staged, will be considered as a "natural." A number of persons were heard to say that Negro football is more or less for the sole purpose of a high-classed social event. It was pointed out that so much attention is directed on the social angle of the game that the prowess of the teams is forgotten. My belief is that Negro football teams presents an exceptionally brand of play, PAGE EIGHT WILEY E SYD'S SCRIBBLINGS GEORGE SYDNEY Sports Editor CHICAGO'S CITY SERIES The Chicago White Sox, of the south the north side, have settled their "cities the series goes to the south side enternth game of the series Tuesday after Those Comiskey hirelings played thru out the games played.

Oct. 3 — A mighty Wolverine team, making its 1931 wetub Saturday at Spikele's, new open field of football in the Southern conference, crushed the stubborn aggregation from Claflin university, of Orange- burg, S. C., into complete subm- ission and sent them home bleeding and limping under the pressure of a 41 to 0 defeat. The Purple Wolverine who out- weighed and outclassed the visitors looked a slight bit sorry in the first half when then killed four chances of scoring with eight costly fumblings in the yard line of their opponents' goal. the first quar class that is showed signs of not be hit. The varsily backs of the Wolverine weren't clicking to please Coach Billy Nicks and he replaced them with the "Ponv" backfield. Wolverine's Line Holds Wolverine's Line Holes The Wolverine line on both offense and defense proved to be the backbone of the team's large holes on their backs is possible for their fleet backs to run and an improbable defense made it equally impossible for the Claflinites to move.

Smith ran off right tackle and down the field forty yards for the first score. The half ended 7-0. A highly spirited varsity replaced the "Ponies" at the opening of the second half. After an exchange of punts between "Shag" Jones and Jenkins, the Browns made a drive from their own 25 yard line to a touchdown; Jones and Spurlock doing most of the plunging and Red Moore scored the touchdown in a brilliant bit of running, shifting and sidesteping, from the 25 yard line. A pass Credell to Moore added the point. Score 14 to 0 in the quarter Spurlock plunged the line for 30 yards. Jones, Moore and Credell in alternate runs placed the ball on the ten yard line where Shag Jones carried it over for the tally. A pass Credell to Smith was bad and the score was 20-0.

HERMAN, ET AL KANSAS CITY, Oct. 5. — More than ten thousand eager spectators saw Willie Foster, former Chicago American Giants southpaw, hurt the Kansas City Monarchs to a 4 to 3 victory over "Cot" Tierney's All-Stars, here yesterday afternoon at Muehlenbach field. Hейin Meinle of the Pittsburgh Pirates was the opposing pitcher. Foster's flinging turned back the big bats of "Babe" Herman, "Bock" Seibold and Paul and Lloyd Waner, all major leaguers. In the third, Joseph opened with a 1-baser and went to second when Miene sat down in the mud while attempting to throw out Rogers. Both advanced on a passed ball, and Rogers scored when Eddie Pick kicked around Donaldson's hot grounder to third base. Monarch's Boost Lead Another counter was pushed over in the fifth when Joseph singled over second and went to third on Roberts' hit through short, scoring later while Paul Wauer was pulling down a fly off Mothel's bat and doubling Rogers off second. In the eighth with one down, Mothel doubled to eep center, scoring a minute later on Allen's fly to the same territory which bounced out of Lloyd Waner's slove. Allen then scored five second on Young's single, the All-Stars waived until the sixth re-winger scored twice on a ball to Kuhul and a single by Paul Wauer. The Waner brothers again did their stuff in the eighth when Lloyd singled advanced to second on Kuhul's sacrifice and scored on Paul's double to the right field embankment. Fans "Babe" Herman Fails "Babe Herman" "Babe" Herman, among the heavy dynamites in the National league roamed right field in brilliant style for the "All-Stars," but was unable to do much with Foster's pitching. While "Babe" got one short single he also struck out twice, and his other attempt was an easy ground- er to Mothel. The score: BY GERALD H. ADAMS MARSHALL, Texas, Oct. 5. — The Wiley-Prairie View clash two weeks hence will be one of the big games of the season among our group. It is doubtful if there will be a better attended game anywhere during the present year. Last year ten thousand fans journeyed to the State Fair of Texas Stadium, and witnessed one of the most hectic struggles ever staged at the Dallas Exhibition. The recovery of a partially blocked forward pass during the closing moments of "av a pas, that fell into the hands of "Streak" Evans, and a dash of ninety yards down a clear field gave the locals a 17-13 victory in the Panthers. Almost as many again as saw last year's battle will be on hand this fall. Panther roots say that the Wiley eleven was lucky to win last year, but Wildcat followers believe they had the better team, so they are all going back to prove that they were right. Both teams will be better than they were last year. Prairie View has benefited by the addition of Jimmy DuPree at half and big Hughes et tokle, the addition of Patterson and Adams to the locals has proven a god-send to Coach Long. Coach Sam Taylor has scouted both of the Wilcats' starts to date, and Fred Long made a flying trip to Prairie View last week to look over the Panthers in their game with the Houston Junior college. Both coaches are getting ready and neither will have any alibis. Taylor's style of open play that mae him famous et Clarke several years ago, as well as Long's versatile running attack assures fans of an afternoon filled with action when the Panthers and Wilcats mix on Monday, October 19th.

This fine bicycle is equipped with a headlight, horn, stand, and other features found only on the most expensive types. Any boy would be proud to own such a bike. The second prize is one of the most famous makes manufactured. It is not a Ranger, but it will thrill the heart of the lucky boy who is going to win it. The suit of clothes, and the overcoat comprising the third and fourth prizes are of the long-pants type, and are well made, and what is more, of the very latest style. And then there are the three cash prizes. The first is $10 in gold, the second is $50, also in gold. After these come the Silver King ice skates, the genuine Rugby football made of real pikekin, and the 1,000 shot Air rifle.

ENTER THE CONTEST TODAY AMONG the Blackfeet Indians of Northwestern Montana, handed down from father to son for generations, there is a legend which explains—at least to the Indian mind—why a chief of a tribe is given the name of Spo-Pe. It means "the turtle" and the legend is as follows: Long, long ago, before the white man had entered upon the vast prairie, a Blackfeet hunting party came to the shores of a small glacial lake high up in the mountains. To their amazement, the banks of the lake were literally alive with turtles, and hundreds of others were afloat on the bosom of the lake. One turtle, the largest of them all, was sunning himself on the beach. The chief of the thunting party saw blim and straightway ran and sat down on his back. Slowly the turtle began to crawl down the beach toward the ice-cold water. The chief seemed held there by some invisible power; and his fellow warriors were spelbound so could make no effort to help him off. Down, down, down, went the turtle, bearing the chief; and into the water, deeper and deeper, until singing the death chant of his tribe, the chief was carried under. As the water closed above hi m the terrified Indians fled. That event, high up on a mountain peak, the Indians held a council. They decided that some mysterious power was behind the strange happening, and that it was an omen of some of them turning back toward their peeches on the prairie and chattering the hunt. But the majority thought otherwise and pushed further on into the mountain wilderness. One chief, however, turned back.

Of all the party, he alone returned to the camp. The others were never heard of again. And from that day, as a sort of propitiation to the mysterious power, all chiefs of tribes have been given—among their other names—the name of "the turtle" or Spo-Pe George and Mary had been saying a prolonged goodnight at the door when a window above suddenly opened and a weary voice implored.

We ok eee eee eee RELIGION, VICE AND BUSINESS Pay a visit to any incorporated town or city in the United States, where there are a few thousand colored people and there ars two ow:standing features in the life of these people that you will be compelled to observe. First, you will note that there are many churches pointing their tall spires toward heaven and behind these churches there will be found organ- ized religion, Sccordly, it will be perceived that there is even and anon a tenclerloin disirict where dives and dens flourish and behind these iniquities will be discovered organized vice. Almost everywhere our people have taken up their abode they have successfully organized their religion and their vice. These conditions being observed rudely and abruptly call to mind the absence of organized business endeavor. It ecems a mockery upen common sense and a reflection upon ovr natural proclivities and propensities to see us making ‘such feeble efforts, and such miserable pretenses to do business in our cwn districts when at the same time we are supporting 0 meny magnificent and obviously unnecessary churches. It seems a traves:y upon the intelligence that we are supposed to possess to witness our gambling dens, drinking emporiums, our scarlet houses, dance halls and cabarets actively engaged ard ro business of a serious and sound nature being under- take>. A few barber shops, a poorly stocked drug store, a greasy Ms, and a dingy funeral parlor represer:: the sum total average business ventures in the average town among verage colored people. These businesses just enumerated are the kind of enterprises that we are veritably forced into because the white people positively refuse ‘to serve and accom ‘odate us in them. Ard in this conjunction ‘: is well to realize that the white people aid and assist us with our religious pro- grams and ccoperaate most effectively wi.h us in the promo- tion and develonment of our vices. In our businesses of sound charns’cr ond distinct need, however they give us little active encouragement and very, defin’c and determined opposition. To such an extent that it can be readily seen and understood that the majority of whites consider our vices and religions of litt’e material value to us and shape and equip in no wise to get cut of the rut that now embarasses us. The recognized colored vice lords of most communities are th= recognized political leaders of their people, they have an “in” with the ruling whites and are permitted to “go” as long as they split up their ill-gotten gains and support the right candidates for political offices. Some of the most affluent and powerful political bosses of color that have been created aprung from ovr tenderloin distric's where they have wax~ fat or graft and orivilege. These men flourish in both the north ard the south. The white people have demonstrated that they are willing to treat with our leaders in organized vice ard to virtually perpetuate them in their iniquitous sytsems. The colored ministry has lilewise come in for due recog- nition, and in almost every community the colored preachers have an entree to the leading whites. There is this ridiculous and disconcer:ing situation existing in most of our communi- tics ell over the nation. The Jew readily caters to our wants and needs and conducts most of the barier and trate in our districts, while even the Greek, the Italian and the Chinaman heve chown surprising facility to come into our districts and conduct business with splendid success. The white people have their organized religion and their orgazized vice but they also have their tremendous and im- posing organized business. We accent their standards of re- ligion. we adopt their standards of vice, but when it comes to barter and trade and the develooment of our business we find ourrelves decidedly different. The causes of such a situation ne dovbt come from within the race end from without it. There is very livile chance of changing the white man’s atti- tude but it has been shown time and time again that he is qui‘ willing to treat with us when we develop our institutions. It obviously lies with us to concentrate on business development. It is the duty of organized religious bodies and even organized and entrenched vice to help us round out into true citizenship ard what purports to be standard Americanism. | AWAY WITH THE “PROBLEMISTS” | Whenever a grave crisis arises affecting the destinies of the white people in this country and a conference is neceseary. the men called to offer solutions are usually the best minds of the country. They are the men who have behind them a record of achievement which brooks no arrumen':. Seldom do we sce in any such conference ministers, educators, social workers or professional politicians. The men are business men or leaders in industry. But let some exigency come up which affects the interests of colored people and it becomes necessary to have spokesmen for the brother in black. watch the selection of the people chosen to represent him. Almost without fail such a committee of colored people will have a majority of profess- ional “problemi::~”—colored people who almost live by ex- Ploiting the so-called color problem. .... sesso: seers seve mms coe Almost without excention these problemists proceed to say and recommend the things which they think will please the white people rather than say the things which some of them at least know should be said and done, but which would not sound quite so pleaeart in a “mixed group.” The idea uppermost in many of these people’s mind is to keep the “oro>!em” going rather then to colve it, In most every case these spokesmen THE CHICAGO WHIP, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10,1931 To EDITORIAL+ PAGE WEEKLY HEALTH TALK << BY DR. TROY SMITE. THE VIRTUES OF MILK Pure milk is generally regarded as anrindispensable part of every normal diet. Although not perfect food, it is the most Saluable single aliment that we have. Scientists are agreed today that the average child should consume at least a quart Of milk a day in some form and that adults need at least a pint These quantities of milk, or their equivalent in dairy products generally assure an adequate supply of lime salts, or protein rH of certain vitamins, all of which are essential to growing ‘children and desirable for the rest of us. The virtues of milk have heen known since the dawn of history, many famous persons have been nourished on the most nearly; perfect food. Five hundred years before Christ, Gan; {ama Buddha subsisted chiefly on milk and dairy products and thie maintained the vigorous health that was appropriatae to one of the prophets of old.-In one of the sultas of Buddha it fe writ “The cows are our best friends, they give food, they give strongih, they likewise give a good complexion and hap- pines.” Ail the ancient healers were advocates of milk. An en inet Greek pirysician, \retaews, wrote, “To take milk is pleasant: to drink it is easy it contains solid nutrition and it PeaC all foods the one which is most familiar from childhood Jit is even most pleasing to the sight on the account of its whiteness.” Greek physicians such as Hippocrates, the father bf medicine, Pliny and other recommended milk in the treat of phthisis, or tuberculosis, Plutarch praised milk and wrote that Foroaster, the Persian mystic, lived exclusively on cheese fo 20 years We find the modern gladiators milk drinkers Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Max Sehmeling. the Iasi thre heavyweight champions of the world. have all imbibed ilk tn large quantities. The last mentioned has been quoted as a serting that he drinks 6 quarts of cold milk immediately after one of his strenuous workouts. When Lindhergh landed av le Bourget his first request was for a glass of milk. The Hunter brochers, who were alpit fo more than 553 hours. refused to endorse a certain coffee he- cause, as they told the importuning salesman, they rank only milk and orange juice. Because of iis hulk, deficieney in iron and comparainively low content of one or two of the vitamins, milk must he classed as the “most nearly perfect food.” and not the perfect food This deficiency is made up by a balanced lies containing. fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meats and cereals or grain trudites However in times of economic stress milk shou! be the stable part of the average diet if malnutrition and its iantfotd ills ore to be averted, are not “Negro-minded” but are problem-minded as the “prob- lem” is the means of their continuing in food and raiment. This type of selection will continue as long as the rank and file which they are representing continue to endure this type of vepresention If the great mass which is in need wants to be representéd well they will have to make i: known orig are some people who are too far from their needs to trély in- terpret their desires in the given matter. The “problemic.s” sees to it that they are advertised and put themselves in a po- sition to be selected when they even suspect there is going to be a committee formed. True representatives of the people find themselves on the outside of things. This method will continue as long as the people permit it. Let us hope that the day is not far-distant when the professional “problemic:” is excluded from all round table discussions where the interest of the race is at stake and the people have representatives that are think- ing in terms of their wants and needs rather than of the “prob- lem.’ UNDL2 THELASH OF THE WHIP / a Sa ce | 8 q = * Ei, cue + | ieee AY Boe Gi c=} = Zo ey faa 2 —Arateee — There are many, many colored people who are averse to hearing and learning the truth, They would much prefer to live and revel in the paradise of fools. It is quite evident that the truth is going to rise up in spite of them and eventually set them free. A cross section of the times reveals that the cold, fare, frozen and unvarnished truth is confounding the co!- ored people of America in spite of themselves, A lot of the big talk by the “big Negrocs” has lov: its virtue and captivating qualities. The great mass knows the short-comings of our leaders and are crying for their scalps. At this writing there are a very, very few of our leaders who command the respect of the populace. There has been so much gross inability, so much bombast, so much selling-out and so much exploitation that the leaders and “big shots” are in reality captains without armies, The truth stands serene and immutable and the people are seeing it and understanding it. Gone are the business “wizards,” gone are the political “giants,” gone are the “mir- acle” men, departed are the swarthy Moseses, who posed as leading the colored children out of the wilderness. The truth shows them to have been unprepared mentally, spiritually and perhaps morally. The truth is a strange thing. sete The indictment of Mr. Oscar Nelson, Stare Banking Au- ditor of Illinois, on the grounds that he permitted a certain bank to operate and accept depos’:s after he knew the same to be insolvent, raises the question in the minds of many of just what kept the State Auditor from knowing the true condition of the defunct Bankers-Roosevelt State Bank. It appears thai this institution must have been insolvent and unsafe for a long time before it closed its doors. This interrogatory by no means imputes culpability upon Mr. Nelson but it does impute and charge gross inefficiency in the conduct and operation of his office. The indictment is merely a formal charge and does not even presuppose guilt but it indicates that the white peo- ple, themselves, are wondering why so many banks became in. solvent at one time. The tragedy of the Bankers-Roosevelt Institution continues to grow. The Receiver and the Auditors _seem to be the only ones who will rece've anything worth while. We are happy in the belief that this matter, along with | few others, will receive a thorough, penetra:ing and impartial airing before many moons. Rich Man Poor Man Archbishop John T.
