NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS...HOOSEWELL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1927 GARY NEGROES WINNING FIGHT! Judging from the attitude assumed by the mayor and city council of Gary, Indiana, which body voted $15,000 several weeks ago for a temporary building for the colored children who were the storm center and cause of the "strike" by the white children of the Emerson High School in the Steel City, it begins to appear that the Negroes of that city have achieved a notable victory. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, the noted author, orator and philosopher of the Civil War, was the principal speaker in the senate chamber Thursday night, enraging the senate's Task of the Negro Speaker." The speaker asserted that civilization is in the hands of the people; that the thought-life of an individual, race or nation determines When the city council, over the protests of the three Negro councilmen and a delegation of tax-paying citizens, rushed through a resolution providing for the erection of a temporary structure for housing these few colored students until a temporary building was erected for occupancy, and appropriating the sum of $15,000 for this purpose, a group of colored citizens employed legal counsel and prayed the court for an injunction to halt the expenditure of this sum of the tax-payers' money, citing attention to the fact that such appropriation was illegal, unwarranted and unjustified. The city council, in right to spend the tax-payers' money in such a reckless and uncalled for manner. Uptown a change of venue, the judge in another Indiana county granted the colored plaintiffs a temporary injunction, restraining the mayor and city council of Gary from spending the sum voted or any sum for the erection of a temporary building for colored The conductor of this column served as chairman of the executive committee of the association, having been appointed by the late summer. This committee went on record as favoring the passage of a bill by the Texas legislature awarding a pension to all disabled persons in the educational service in the educational field. The court also set a date when the mayor and city councilmen were summoned to appear before that body and show cause why the temporary restraining order should not be made permanent, and now newspaper reports state that the mayor and city aldermen have decided to not fight the case, and a resolution has already passed two readings by the city councilmen restraining the mayor from the unnecessary expenditure of $1,000 for a make-shift school building for the aforementioned colored high school children. In the meantime, according to newspaper dispatches, these colored students have never abstained themselves from Emerson High School, and the "striking" white children returned to their studies along with their colored school and classmates, and no additional hostile demonstrations have been staged by these students. Just what attitude these white students and their parents will take, in the event the city council decides to rescind its former action in providing and erecting a temporary building for a handful of colored students, remains to be seen; but The Informer is of the opinion that, since sentiment is undergoing a radical change in several Northern centers where appreciable numbers of our people are present, the evidence of what is in store for colored citizens in some of the Northern and Eastern cities and communities. The Gary Negroes are to be compelled for legal procedure to ascertain if they have any civil rights left; and whether race prejudice, religious intolerance and bigotry and class distinctions can defeat the ends of justice, rob and divest American citizens of their constitutional and inalienable rights and pre- This conference assumed the attitude that the Negroes of Texas should be given the power to fund the state by paying their poll before midnight of January 31, 1928, longer school terms, better salaries for teachers and more modern and advanced urban and rural. The conference will state a statement along these lines: Once more the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the most militant civil rights organization extant, enters the legal fray, and assisted the colorless blacks in their struggle for freedom, hopelessly lost; thereby justifying its existence and proving even to skeptics that there is power and strength in organized effort and concerted action. Finally, they crown the efforts of the Negroes of Gary in this fight, it is hoped that the result will have far-reaching and sobering effect upon other cities which might contemplate such undemocratic and un-American procedure; for reduced to this effect, the Negroes of Gary will be a monument of the people, for the people and by the people. Selah! With "race consciousness, racial independence, high ideals and character building," as the associated theme, the college offered the official programs of this body were not printed in a colored printing machine or secured in a secondary secretary. Prof. John W. Reedier of the Dallas Express and English teacher in the Booker T. Washburn school, were each equipped with one of the best equipped printing plants in the entire Southwest. In this connection, we observed that the students' sources that very little of the associational printing was done in Negro print shops—a very unfavorable attitude. AUSTIN CONFERENCE TAKES ACTION! The statewide conference of Negro leaders, held at Austin Friday of last week, did not assume any political or partisan aspect, but the conferences, gathered from all sections of Texas and reprecented the state's history of civil rights and the Star State commonwealth, engaged and indulged in a free and frank discussion concerning the failure of so many of our people to shoulder the full responsibilities of citizenship; and it was definitely decided that the first step towards qualifying as full-blooded Negro men was to be levied upon every able-bodied man and woman in this state. It is rather strange and peculiar how some of our race leaders practice the use of the word antagonist to the one and preach so blatantly and vocefully. We are always talking about make-up, and we are always talking about whenever we get a chance to execute our doctrine, we go aww every time, or at least too much so for the good of the students. We are plausible nor rational excuse or reason why the Colored Teachers' State Association found it necessary and appropriate to grant an opportunity to at least bid on printing their official proclamation, and Negro printer an opportunity to at least bid on printing their official proclamation, and Negro printer an opportunity to that the new administration will adopt a policy along this line which will not reflect such disdain. This conference took the position that, since the public educational fund of the state derives considerable money from the poll tax payments, and since Texas is doing so much for Negro education and is inclined to do more with larger funds for this purpose, it is better to invest in private schools, whether in the religious or fraternal circle, can consistently advocate and endorse a campaign of this nature. Ordinarily, when reference is made to the payment of the poll tax, the first thing that enters the mind of the average person is qualifying for exercising the elective franchise rights—political. If more of the colored residents of Texas were advised that part of the money derived from the payment of poll tax goes towards the free education of the colored and white children of this state, The Informer is of the opinion that a larger number of our people are not educated and that the statewide campaign is. It was suggested that a statewide campaign be launched and conducted from now until January 31, 1928, urging and impressing upon the colored citizens of Texas the necessity and importance of paying their poll tax, and thereby enlarging the available fund for the operation and maintenance of the public schools of Saturday afternoon we motored to Antelope, where we spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Thomas, our brother-in-law and sister-in-law. We were in the city, our stay was a pleasant and easyable place, left in the evening for Horseshoe long home as the "shadows of the evening began to steal across the To this end every patriotic citizen of color is called upon to lend a voice and hand in broadcasting this message and appeal to all sections of this state, and it is confidently expected that the Negroes of Texas, having been enlightened and informed concerning the disposition of the money accruing from the tax pay obligations, are showing in thus fulfilling their obligations along this line. Motorists often encounter some queer pranks of nature, and we had a similar experience Sunday evening. The only place where rain had fall Let our slogan be: "Pay your poll tax now and help enlarge the public educational fund of Texas!" len prior to our return trip was in the East Bernard "section," the worst stretch between Houston and one being fairly dry and smooth, while the newly built East Bernard dirt highway provided Darden porgation, but we cannot conclude this article without mentioning, in passing, the beauty, cultured and well-defined grassy feet of the Turkey Day football game at Austin between the Paul Quinn Tigers and the Chicago Bears of Austin, which the Wacoans, coached by Ray Sheppard, former grid star, copied to no 14. Not only that, but we cannot but recall a similar instance where we beheld so much femininity of masculinity. They had swarmed into the Capital City from all directions, coming from tail and arm, and we could not see the marred an otherwise beautiful scene was a prolonged and unnecessary struggle in testing football aggregations. Our college and high school heads, coaches and players should bear in mind that contested teams fight it out on the gridiron and not to engage in useless and often senseless arguments about the game. There is no race on this mundane shore which can exhibit the beauty and combination of great fashion and occasion of great beauty and occasions as these should make every black man and woman feel proud that they are a part of such a wonderful, natural endowments; and when we employ more women, we can make more structive lines, like the victorious eleven on the gridiron, no earthly more beautiful than a march to a touchdown and ultimate victory.

Lyons, morehan prince of Austin, was, as usual, on the job day and night, and proved to the crowd that what a large city lacks in size and its bites, it makes up in genuine Southern hospitality and cordiality.

Rogers of Austin Conference Urges Larger Fund For Public Schools Austin Conference Urges Larger Fund For Public Schools Austin, Texas—The statewide conference of colored leaders, which was held at Lyons Hall, last Friday morning, and which was sponsored by the Independent Colored Voters League of Texas, "sawed a keynote by women and women of the state to state in an larging the state fund for public education, by the payment of the poll tax before midnight of January 31, 1928." Citing attention to the fact that a large per cent of the poll tax money goes in to the fund for the free education of the colored scholastics of the state, the conference took the opportunity to teach Texas will do their duty by paying their poll tax, considerable money will be available for longer school terms, better paid teachers and modern school buildings. Not only will this condition obtain in urban centers a greater share of the education, but the rural schools, which are suffering to an alarming extent for the lack of sufficient funds, will be In view of this fact, the conference will record favoring and appealing to fraternal head and race leader in the fraternal head and race leader in the day of January, the importance and necessity of colored citizens fulfilling a full-fledged citizen in this respect, as a slogan: "Pay your poll tax from all parts of the state, for public educational fund of Texas." The meeting was largely attended from all parts of the state, with Attorney R. D. Evans, Waco, presiding from all parts of the state, Houston filling the secretarial role. In order to carry on this campaign of education, funds were contributed for publicity and educational purposes for this purpose.
