GEORGI Color Prejudice Stays ln A resolution had been submitted to the convention calling for the suspension of unions that discriminated against Negro workers. The committee on laws, to which the resolution had been referred, made a report disapproving the proposed legislation, and the body finally adopted this report after long and acrimonious debate.

CANNOT ENFORCE RULE AGAINST DRAWING COLOR LINE Labor Convention Votes Down Resolution Which Would Abolish Discrimination Against the Negro Wage Earner. (Special to Bystander.) Denver, Colo.—"The American Federation of Labor has previously declared that it is the duty of all workers to organize, regardless of sex, nationality, race, political belief or color. The federation, however, cannot force this view upon individual or affiliated unions without their consent." Lee Almost Lynched For Cutting Wife KEEP ROPE OFF NEGRO'S NECK AT RIVERVIEW Crowd Acts When He Slashes Wife's Throat at Entrance to Park. Timely arrival of the police early Sunday night saved Samuel Lee, a Negro, 125 Jefferson avenue, from lynching at the hands of a mob of serveral hundred people, after the Negro had stabbed and probably fatally severed from her body with a tacked her at the entrance to Riverview park. The woman's head was nearly severed from her body with a long knife. She was also stabbed in the left side of her back, the blade piercing her lung. Knocked Down by Motor. The couple had approached the Sixth avenue entrance to the park, where according to witnesses they started to quarrel. Lee is alleged to have drawn the knife and stabbed the woman after she had attempted to run away from him. Immediately following the cutting, Lee attempted to escape down a side street, but was struck and knocked down by a passing motor car. The crowd which quickly gathered seized and held him while the police were being summoned. While waiting for the officers to arrive the mob, which had assumed immense proportions, became enraged at the Negro's deed and amid cries of "Lynch him! Lynch him!" several men hurried to the park ice house and procured a long rope. Lee Safe in Jail. According to the police, members of the mob were about to place the rope around the Negro's neck when they appeared on the scene. Lee was arrested and lodge in his wife's condition. According to the story told Dr. Lieber at the hospital, the couple came to Des Moines several weeks ago from Buxton, Ia. The husband gave his address as 125 Jefferson avenue, while his wife said she lived at 201 East Eighth street. Crowd at Maximum. The affair occurred shortly before 9 o'clock when the evening crowd at the park had reached its maximum. Police Surgeon Lieber said that the wound in the colored woman's throat reached from ear to ear and just missed the jugular vein. This was the reply made by Samuel Gompers, president of the A. F. L., in its session on June 24th when he was asked from the floor if it was possible to force any affiliated union to wipe out the "color line" in labor. M. B. B. Col. J.H.

Chicago, July 7.—Liberty Life Insurance Company has gone over. Chicagoans are proud of its achievement. On June 30th it deposited with the State Insurance Commission, $100,000, the state's requirement for an old line insurance company. The Liberty Life is the second old line insurance company which the race has developed successfully during the current year. It maintains palatial offices in the Roosevelt Bank building. President Gillespie announced that operations would begin in three states immediately. He stated the awakening of our group to present day commercial opportunities is evidenced by the splendid support given the Liberty Life during even these times of financial stress. "$100,000.00 is a lot of money," quoth he, "but Liberty Life has succeeded and will now stand as a monument to the Negro's belief in his own business ability."

A Mr. Parker Promoter is Alleged to Have Used Funds to Promote Personal Enterprises. Chicago, Ill., July 7.—The Cooperative Society of America and Harrison Parker, its chief promoter are in trouble again. Litigation has been started that seeks to oust Parker from his place as supreme dictator of the organization's destiny and to throw the concern into the hands of a receiver. According to the charges in the bill presented in the petition 66,000 investors have sunk over $8,000,000 in the project and that Parker is making frenzied efforts to sell $9,000,000 worth of certificates which, the petition states, will probably be diverted to the advancement of his private ventures to the extreme detriment of the Co-operative Society's interests. Colored people are credited with having invested more than $3,000,000 in the Co-operative Society with a strong likelihood, it is asserted by the petitioners, that they will lose every penny of this large sum of money before the end of Parker's rope is reached. The petitioners further charge that the 120 stores of the company in the city of Chicago are being operated at a monthly loss of $20,000.

GOVERNOR DORSEY CITES FIFTY-EIGHT CASES OF LYNCHING IN FOUR YEARS White Georgians Lynched 58 Negroes During Past Four Years. Woman Lynched for Making Remarks About Lynching of Her Husband—Disgusting White Man Brings Death. Atlanta, Ga.—In his final message to the Georgia State Legislature, transmitted on retiring from office, Governor Hugh M. Dorsey gave a detailed list of fifty-eight lynchings which have taken place in Georgia during his four years' administration. The list gives the date of lynching, name of victim, place where it occurred and alleged cause. In the address of Col. Jett to the grand court, he spoke of little Eunice Rhodes, the daughter of Col. W. C. and Mrs. Rhodes. At the first grand session of the Court of Calanthian held in Clarinda, Iowa, 1915 this little baby was adopted on the floor of the grand court floor by Sister Eva Owens the worthy grand counsellor. During the sixth annual session little Eunice's photo appeared on all the official receipts of the Kangaroo court. The money which was raised will go to build the Pythian Temple. There fore little Eunice Rhodes will be the foundation of this monument. 500 IDLE SHIPS IN JAMES RIVER Problem of Disposal Probably Will Reach Congress Early in the Session. Marine Men Say Engines Could Be Taken Out and Installed in Other Vessels—Skeleton Crews Have Little to Do. Norfolk, Va.—What to do with about 500 wooden and steel ships lying idle in Janes river is a question that will probably reach the floor of congress within a short time. The wooden ships are mostly anchored in the vicinity of Claremont. There are as many as six moored together, side by side, so close that it is possible to step from the deck of one ship to another without any danger of falling overboard. Skeleton crews are employed and the only work they are required to do is to keep the decks and fixtures clean and stand watches. They are called upon sometimes to daub a little paint on the sides of the ships, but five hours out of the day they have nothing to do but play checkers, cards or indulge in any other pastime they see fit. There is valuable machinery in the ships that marine men say could be taken out and put to use in other ves- uuskən Capt. a st a the B ed f ne no numer also he m he m have his Florida nurses its u hed taped M made 1833 dly, h colored pured d in help Bahi return y of pillow S after after He can again he can and THE BEST Advertising Medium to Reach the Colored People EIGHT TES FIFTY-EIGHT USES OF LYNCHING IN FOUR YEARS of 58 Negroes During Past Four Years.

The late Mr. Able was 74 years of age, having been born Jan. 4, 1847, in Clarke county, Mo. He had lived in Clarinda nineteen years, having lived in the same house on East Water street for fifteen years. He was married in Sac City, Mo., to Miss Addie Dodson, over thirty-one years ago. The wife and three children survive. The children are Mrs. Emma Oldham of this city, Henry Able, also of this city, and Mrs. Sallie Stuart of Omaha, Neb. A number of other relatives survive. Mr. Able was in the employ of Swift & Company for a number of years, but had not been able to work for about three years. The funeral was to be at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. C. P. Jones. sels. Most of the ships are equipped with the best of engines, and the government, it is claimed, could realize considerable money out of their sale Shipbuilders say the engines could be installed in barges that could be used to transport freight between Baltimore and Philadelphia and Norfolk via the inland waterway, or in freight carriers operating between New York, Providence, Boston and Norfolk. Constructive Plan Offered. One shipbuilder makes this suggestion: "Strip the machinery from the wooden ships, then organize a corporation, or several corporations to build steel hulls or barges on a comparatively inexpensive plan and install the engines in them. These barges would be invaluable for constrwise trade or even for trade with Cubs and could be operated at a cost much less than the present steamships. "Of course it will take money to put such a plan in operation, but it does not require a large financial outlay. The steel hulls can be built in any one of a half dozen shipyards on Hampton Roads and with the prospective reduction in the cost of labor and the decrease in the cost of material, competition would be keen for the building of these craft." There is little chance of any of the wooden ships ever being of any material service again, because only a few of them would be worth the expense of repairing of sea trade. A good many of the ships are already beginning to show decay and it would not be surprising if several of them were abandoned altogether within a year or so. It is the opinion of marine men that when the government begins to discard the wooden ships, completely they will be blown up with dynamite, as if they were a menace to navigation. The people of Claremont are divided on the benefit the town has derived by the location of the fleet near that town. The anchorage occupied by the ships is referred to as the "boneyard." "Many go in but none come out" is the way Robert Minter, a veteran river man who has resided near Claremont since a few days after the Civil war, refers to the "boneyard." Last Days of the Monitors. Minter's opinion is shared by others, because all the old inhabitants of Claremont, City Point and other James river landings remember the fate of seven monitors that the government decided to discard 25 years ago.

There are three million white people out of work in the United States at this time. Generally there are more white people out of work than colored. The man who "has not" generally feels pretty much sore with the fellow who "has"—that is quite un-Amreican in principle. This is supposed to be a "land of the free and a home of the brave." Emulous means rivalry, and carried a little farther means jealousy, and jealousy carried on at all means bitterness, and bitterness leads to lynching, riots, fights, fire and all the other anarchical results. It is time to quit waving the red flag of hatred but, that does not mean that we are to put up a white flag of surrender. There is one way out. Natural life is like partnership in business—it is ever a subject of adjustment. The successful partners in business are those who use good sense in settling their differences. There is absolutely too much of the "Jiggs and Maggie" between white and colored Americans. EX-CONGRESSMAN MURRY. Murry is one of the greatest scholars of simple psychology living.

The Negroes of the same caliber thinks in the meantime that he is inferior. The white man forever tries to act the part of superiority while the mass of Negroes seem to be inclined to act inferior. The white man has for his artificial backing the color of his skin and the texture of his hair and the Negro through ignorance have been taught to judge by shadows instead of substances causing the two to think alike and in thinking alike they are growing alike. The friction is being brought about by a few clear thinking Negroes who think oppositely—in other words that a man is a man whether white or black. When a few get to thinking that way the affect will be that they will commence acting that way. It is not and will not be a sane thing to suppress that action and the best thing to do is learn that as Lincoln said that all men are created equal and their equal chances in the game of life can not be blocked by another without causing friction that brings on wars wars and national disgrace. And then again, the trick is to get one blade of grass to grow where none grew before. What has become of that D'Annunzio person whose name used to be on the front page so often? Cheer pp! Even for those who cannot get a poet's license there is possible a fishing license. One reason the country is short of homes is that too much money has been put into the cellars. Nowadays when you hear of a puncture you don't know whether it's a tire or a wage adjustment. The man who made $15 to $20 a day by begging, while it lasted, had a better job than working. Milady's latest is artificial eyelashes. She seems to have used up the visible supply of pencils. Nowadays there are many things that are "a darned sight better business than loafin' round a throne." Some men get tringles on the bottoms of their trousers putting fur on the bottoms of their wives' skirts. The prince of Wales may be impulsive, but he does not exhibit it in picking out the next queen of England. The ultimate consumer remains cold, dead cold, to all those precipitous drops of prices in the wholesale field. Fortunate is the amateur who knows which growing things to cut off with the hoe and which to leave growing. Einstein says he sees an end to time and space. This robs the world of all chance of ever understanding his theory. Portugal is broke and wants Uncle—well, there's a sort of understanding around that he is pretty well off and a bit easy.

Many prices are dropping. The wages of sin remain the same. Most of the people who would scrap the navy would be the last to scrap. One reason why the profiteers have diminished is because the profits have. It might be well for Europe to put its ex-kings under heavy bond to stay fired. If Greek were the universal language the Turks would go deaf and dumb. One form of craziness is to be pulling down when what is needed is building up. "The wages of sin is death"—and pistols are sometimes used to hasten payment. Candy profiteers evidently have not heard of the misfortunes of the sugar profiteers. How come nobody has charged the late lamented crime wave to spots on the sun? It is not every man's friends who think the more of him the more they know of him. Having spent all the money in the world, civilization zealously takes to saving daylight. Neither a doctor nor a lawyer can afford to have many friends who expect free advice. We blow 97 per cent of our national tax money into wars, and then the wars blow it up. There would be a lot more busy individuals if every man lived up to his own specifications. The average woman wants her friends to admire her and all the other folks to envy her. There seem to be a number of workers who laid away all their tools except the hammer. More and more it is emphasized that the best way to keep a still about is to keep still about it. The A. B. C.'s Of S The Race Problem Who Prints Negro News From Viewpoint of the White Man?
