Mic Traveling Co KANSAS GETS NEXT SUPREME SESSION AND ENCAMPMENT OF KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AND OF THE CALANTHES Efforts of the Kansas Delegation Lands 30,000 Gathering to be Held at Topeka, in August, 1921, Says J. O. Midnight, Our Official Traveling Correspondent. Atlantic City, N. J.—Have you ever been to the city by the sea? I am here as I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health this week. I have been with the editor of this paper, and you will believe me when I tell you he made some hit in the world. I wish you could have seen Gen. Thomas Kennedy, editor of The Advocate, and some pumpkins in the uniform ranks of the Knights of Pythias. It becomes my duty to inform you that the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias has been in session here all the week—in fact these brave knights have the town, and it was turned over to them by the lord and mayor of Atlantic City, and they took it, too. The citizens were loud in their praise of that great parade, and the editor of a daily paper told me it was the finest parade that ever had been in the city and one white man whose name I did not get, said, "You people have made many friends by that parade. You have thousands more than you had when you came here." These words were spoken to Editor Kennedy, who was in company with another distinguished Knight from Kansas and, myself. He was thanked by the editor and we just looked on. I was hobnobbing in St. Louis with the National Negro Business League when I took my pen in hand to write to you the other day, and it was indeed a pleasure to be able then to say a few words about the business people who were in town, and for what they stood. One of the greatest of Americans was elected president of the League, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and one of the best known men in this country. I told you about him in my last letter, and will not take the time to go into it this time. At any rate, I was there with him, and had much to say to him. He is a man that can be reached, and without trouble, because he had never had the disease known as the bighead. His head is normal, hence he is getting right into the hearts of the masses. I will love him as long as I am in this world, and of course cannot go back on him when I get on my golden slippers and begin to fly around up in Heaven. I had an invitation to accompany him East, as I was going to that section of the world. To my surprise he had a whole room in the bed car, and I was to sleep in one of the beds, Major Allen Washington, from Hampton, Va., had the other one, I Told You I Do The People's Merci cided to make their car stead of $10,000.00.

This will give us plenty of money to operate every department successfully. Dear friends, didn't you know you are missing the greatest opportunity of your life by not taking some of this stock and make this race just what it ought to be? We are going at this matter in the right way; we will incorporate under the Blue Sky Law of Kansas. Every dollar of your money will be fully protected. We will have our charter in a few days, and in 90 days we will swing wide our doors for the biggest Negro business in the West. Shares are still selling at $5.00 per share. You had better hurry before they go sky high. See our Mr. W. G. BANKS, the promoter of this great move. He will gladly explain it to you. 516 Minnesota Avenue Phone Bell West 255 for Children's O SUPREME SESSION OF KNIGHTS OF OF THE CALANTHES Delegation Lands 30,000 at Topeka, in August, night, Our Official correspondent. and then there was some left for the principal of Tuskegee. We left the city about noon. They went in the eating car, but I did not go in then, because Mrs. Malone had secured for me a chicken lunch and it was up to me to get on the outside of it, which I did gladly and willingly. I find it is a nice thing to make friends, and I am proud to say that I have on my list of friends now Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone. They are as nice as nice can be, and I try to be also. Now that chicken lunch was sent into my eternity, and when I reached Indianapolis, there was Miss Sayde Mays, there with another big chicken lunch for me, and this time I divided with the other distinguished men. Both seemed to enjoy that and some of the Malone lunch. We did not stay up late, but went to bed, and then the music started. I am not going to tell you about the music in this letter, and may never tell you, but it was in that little room, believe me, honey. We slept until about 9 o'clock Sunday morning, got up, and I was the advanced guard to the eating house. It w.s so crowded that we could not get in for over an hour. People standing around waiting to get in. Scon we were in at a big table in the eating car, which was just a few carriages ahead of us. Just to think of the age in which you live. Eat in a eating carriage, sleep in a bed carriage, and the old iron horse just pulls and grunts, and groans like he is having some pains about his stomach. I got off in Philadelphia, and spent the night, while he went on to another part of the world, which I will have to tell you about later. Well, the night was spent and when I was through spending the night, I got up early Monday morning, and started for Atlantic City, N. J., where the whole night was spent. Reaching there I went direct to the headquarters and found in session a committee. The first to greet me was Mrs. Norene Davis, Grand Worthy Counsellor from Kansas, and with her was Mrs. Bettie Lee from the same state and the same city. Both of them shook my lily black hand, and later introduced me to one of the finest men in the country, General Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio. I had met him before, but this time seemed more than at any other time. But let me stop here and inform you that the next Banks Would Do It cantile Company has deital stock $25,000.00, in will give us plenty of department successfully. CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.

JESSE PECK, President. Supreme Lodge will meet in Topeka, Kansas, and already, the friends of General Jones have slated him as successor to Sim Smith W. Green, of New Orleans. General Jones is a real fine, good-hearted man, and a torn leader of men. Now then I met the committee on credentials, on which was Mrs. Norene Davis, chairman or member, I don't know which. But believe me, she made a record in the Supreme Lodge, and just to think this was her second time and she was elected to the office of Supreme Lecturer. That's going some and don't you forget it. She is a young woman, and when she was a girl her mother kept her in school until she got some education sense in her head, and at home, Mrs. Craig placed it full of common sense, and some time via the hickory route, and at other times the other way, but common sense got there just the same. Monday night was the opening, and it was some fine opening. believe me. The mayor of the town made one more welcome address. I was glad to have heard on My roommate during the stay there was Rev. Henry Allen Boyd. of Nashville. It is not of the question for me to tell you what went on there, but I am sure that you will be delighted to know that Dr. S. H. Thompson, the grand chancellor from Kansas, was some pumpkins, too. He is a man, every inch of him, and I want to here congratulate Kansas on having such an able man at its head. He is some pumpkins when it comes to medicine, and then he is a general mixer with men. You will get some slight idea when I tell you that he was strong enough in influence to bring all them folks to Kansas when there were so many other cities and towns wanted the pleasure of entertaining that body. Lawyer Guy worked right by his side, and so did Editor Kennedy, and Mrs. Davis and others. They followed the Grand Chancellor's lead. It is a fine thing to live in the hearts of your people, and this is just what Dr. Thompson, as head of the Pythians, and Mrs. Davis, as head of the Calanthe, are doing. Supreme Worthy Counsellor Jones is one of the men who deserves a place in the hearts of the people and he has won it. I shall have something to say to you about this just a little later. Believe me, honey, the people who attend the meeting in Kansas will not have their eyeballs pulled out as it was done in Atlantic City, N. J. I had to pay $1.50 to sleep each night I slept. and I was there four nights, paid $6, and did not have but two clean towels during the whole stay, but it happened my private secretary had placed in my hands some, clean towels and I used them. Then when it comes to eating the prices were way up town; and when you got there it was hard to come down. I shall have more to tell you in another letter. Look out for it. God bless you. I will soon be in Kansas. I am going to be at the Kansas conference, and then you may get to meet me if you desire to do so. I don't know just where I am gonig to stop, but you will see me when I am there. I have been invited to town by the edditor of this paper. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON The Home Drug Company "Making Good"—Even Better. We dropped into the well appointed, ably conducted drug store of the Home Drug Company, last week and what was observed there will not soon—no, never fade from our memory. There we saw sitting in their "bib and tucker" the 17 little tots of the Orphans' Home, enjoying a a treat of ice cream, soda, cake and peanuts. Indeed, we were made to feel a thrill of joy and pride, and when asked to say a word, we thus expressed it. We were carried in a moment, to that occasion, in which the great soul, the Christ, said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Many of these little souls had never been in such a place, in such a capacity; and a significant feature of the occasion was, that this is the only place in the city of the kind where they could do so. But should anyone demair, because it is thus? With a thousand voices we say NO—and say it a thbusand times over. And with a like number of times and voices we exult with pride, that we could do such for ourselves. Nor is that all—nor the half even—the management of the company guarantees the same sort of kindness and courtesy with a like degree of competency and efficiency in the pharmacists and clerks, who dispense the necessities in the conduct of the first class drug store conducted by them. It truly was a case of "makir- good." Let's help, by seeing to it that we do likewise. Mrs. Norene Davis, the Worthy Grand Counsellor of Kansas, of the Court of Calanthe, was deservedly honored at the Supreme Session last week at Atlantic City by being elected Supreme Lecturer. We heartily congratulate Mrs. Davis for this high recognition. Hear Bishop J. H. Jones at First A. M. E. Church Sunday. ADVOCATE UNCLE IKE.

There has been more or less trou- ble with Mexicans and whites at Shawnee park, Armourdale, which culminated Iast Wednesday night in the arrests of several white aten for chasing Mexicans from the park. It yemains to be seen what the out- come will be. While there never will be a race trouble between the whites and blacks,in Kansas City, Kansas, because both races have too much n common, the influx of Mexicans, brought in regardless of the contract labor law, may precipitate future broils.

MILL EMPLOYEES HAVE VOICE IN MANAGEMENT Through a "house of representatives" and a "senate," the 5,000 employees of the Riverside and Dan River cotton mills, at Danville, Va., will be given a voice in the conduct of the plant. The "house" and "senate" will be supplemented by a cabinet, composed of executive officers of the mill with voting power. The "house" is composed of 117 workmen, and the "senate" of 59 foremen, and all sessions will be held on the company's time. It was announced that on ecomies, effected under the new system, a dividend would be distributed every 30 days, with employees and stockholders sharing. The Riverside and Dane River cotton mills is a $15,000,000 corporation, and operates one of the largest cotton mills in the South. TRAINING HAS PROVED VALUE Many Firms Make Arrangements to Teach Workers How to Do Things Properly. The marked growth of the industrial training idea In manufacturing plants is indicated by the report recently issued by the United States training service showing that today 350 concerns maintain training departments, as against approximately 200 last November. This steady increase is regarded as proof that manufacturing interests in this country do not consider industrial training merely as a wartime measure. Industrial training such as these factories are installing received its first impetus during the war, and now manufacturers are pointing to it as one of the chief economic lessons taught by the great conflict. The manner in which they quickly upgraded their reduced forces in war times by means of industrial training, and by it also quickly introduced new workers into their plants, demonstrated, according to the United States training service, that training is one of the big permanent needs of our industrial system. These manufacturers say that they are forever through with the old custom of letting each employee pick up his knowledge of his job in a haphazard fashion. They feel that time and money can be saved by hiring practical instructors, who will show both old and new workers the best way of doing each operation. In some lines of work this instruction requires only a few days; in other lines it requires several weeks, or even months. Ninety per cent of the manufacturers report that their training departments are self-supporting. The methods promoted by the training service enable each worker eventually to broaden his knowledge of the trade, as well as to increase his skill in a particular line. This makes him more independent as well as more valuable to industry as a whole. The training service does not carry on training, but devotes its effort chiefly to preparing scientific outlined courses in the training methods. A new political labor party was launched in Cleveland, O., when delegates from practically all union organizations in the city met in convention and laid plans for putting a full municipal ticket in the field at the forthcoming elections. Steps will be taken to extend the party to all parts of the state and to affiliate with similar local labor parties being promoted in Toledo, Cincinnati and Columbus. The Federation of Labor, which fathered the party movement, retains control by requiring that a majority of the executive board be union members. Proposed planks in the platform include: Nationalization of railways, telephones, telegraphs, merchant marine and mines. Universal eight-hour day with reduction of hours when there is unemployment. Cooperative management of industry by workers and employers. Limitation of profits to 6 per cent, automatically diverting surplus to wages. Police protection for pickets and strikers. Ownership by the city of all public utilities. Sweden's Industrial Position. If a proposed eight-hour-day bill be comes a law, Sweden will require 72,000 more workmen to maintain it present industrial output, according to the findings of a government investigating committee. If the additional labor can not be obtained, the committee's report says, the value of production will be decreased by more than 650,000,000 crowns. In the opinion of the committee, no increase in intensity of effort would result from shortened hours of work, and the cost of production would be advanced 18 per cent. New houses for the additional workers would cost, it is estimated, 350,000,000 crowns. Something to Think About. Who are the creators of wealth?

REVEALED Marine Workers of Many Countries to Be Formed Into "One Big Union." MOVEMENT WELL UNDER WAY Documents Show That South American Nations, With Ireland, Spain and Holland, Are Concerned General News of Labor. A plan of the L. W. W. to organize the marine workers of several European and South American countries into "one big union" was disclosed in letters seized in the raid on the New York headquarters of the organization a few weeks ago and submitted as evidence when the joint legislative committee resumed its inquiry into radical and seditious activities in New York state. The letters, written by various organization officials, showed that marine workers were being organized into the Marine Transport Workers' Industrial union No. 8 of the I. W. W. One of the documents read into the record, dated Chicago, June 10, was written by James Scott, who had been made acting secretary and treasurer of the union. It stated that efforts were under way to organize the transport workers of Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Ireland, Spain and Holland, and that operations would be extended to other countries as funds became available. GENERAL LABOR NOTES Ten thousand waiters went on strike at Paris, France, for an eight-hour day and an increase in wages. Two hundred and fifty members of the British parliament signed a proclamation opposing nationalization of industries. A new drastic scheme of rationing is said to be forthcoming soon. Employees of the Vulcan Louisville Smelting company of North Chicago, numbering 150, went on strike because the demands for 55 cents an hour were refused. They were receiving 46 cents. The men also demand time and a half for overtime. By a vote of 2 to 1, the delegates to the eleventh district convention of the United Mine Workers of America, representing 30,000 coal miners of Indiana, voted against asking congress to recognize $2 \frac{1}{4}$ per cent beer as a non-intoxicating beverage. While British union leaders were discussing the government's demand for guarantees that no strikes be called in the coal mines for three months, 150,000 miners struck in the Yorkshire district. Thirteen hundred miners have struck in Kent. Striking candymakers at Chicago voted to go back to work. The manufacturers refused to allow them a "closed shop," but did give them a 44-hour week with pay at the rate of 53 hours, time and one-half for overtime, and double time pay for Sundays and holidays. Elevated, subway and street car service in Boston and its suburbs was completely paralyzed when 7,800 men and women employees of the Boston Elevated Railway company went on strike. Over a million and a half persons were left without street railway transportation service. At the Pennsylvania Railroad System federation's convention the delegates went on record as indorsing the strike of 16,000 workmen of the Willys-Overland automobile plants in Toledo. W. F. Hershey of Pitcalrin, Pa., president of the blacksmiths' organization, said the federation pledged itself to support the Toledo workmen in their demands for an eight-hour day and recognition of the union. A shrewd blow has been struck at the "One Big Union" scheme by the federal council of the Australian Workers' union, one of the most powerful in Australia. In a manifesto issued to members of the A. W. U. the federal council states that, having dealt exhaustively with the "One Big Union" scheme the executive council of the A. W. U. has unanimously rejected it. An agreement for a new wage scale providing an increase of $1 a day for mine and smelter employees of the Anaconda Copper Mining company at Butte, Mont., and at Great Falls and Anaconda, was reached at a conference between C. F. Kelley, president of the company, and representatives of the employees. The agreement, if accepted by the labor unions, will become effective as of July 1 last, and restores the wage scale in effect prior to the wage reduction of last February. It would remain in effect for one year. The corner stone of the new building of the International Association of Machinists at Washington was laid by officers of that organization a short time ago. The American Flint Glass Workers closed their forty-third convention at Bellaire, O. selecting Atlantic City for the 1620 convention. President William P. Clarke of Toledo was re-elected and his salary raised to $5,000. Other officers elected were: Vice president, J. M. Gilhooley, secretary treasurer, C. J.

An action was brought in the same court, Brooklyn, by the card Baking company to make permanent an injunction granted recently by Justice Kelsey restraining striking drivers and salesmen from committing various alleged unlawful acts. The company also has brought suit against the same defendants for $100,000. The action, in many respects, is similar to the famous Danbury Hatters case, in which the strikers were sued successfully by the company and were compelled to settle individually, some of them selling their homes to meet their share. TO ENTER POLITICAL FIELD Washington Labor Unions and Farm Organizations Plan, Formation of Powerful Triple Alliance. During the recent convention of the State Federation of Labor at Bellingham, Washington, a plan was formulated looking to an alliance for political purposes of all labor unions, all farm organizations, and 16 railway unions. William Short, president of the Washington State Federation of Labor, has been the prime mover in seeking a combination of these forces, to be termed the triple alliance in that it is to affiliate the Washington State Federation of Labor, the Washington State grunge, and the Railway Men's Welfare league. The Bellingham labor convention indorsed the alliance with but two dissenting votes. Representatives of the three orders chose Forest L. Hudson, president of the Railway Men's Welfare league, as temporary chairman of the alliance, and made public its purposes in the following declarations: "Believing that the office should seek the man and not the man the office, we declare the objects of the organization to be: To secure remedial legislation through political solidarity and to select and elect men and women for public service who are loyal to the best interests of all the people of the state of Washington. "This alliance shall be composed of the membership of the following organizations: (a) all crafts affiliated with the Washington State Federation of Labor, (b) all farmers' and all railway men's organizations, (c) all such other organizations as may consistently embrace the principles of this alliance." Details of organization are to be assigned to a committee consisting of seven representatives chosen by each of the three affiliated groups, its various provisions to be approved by referendum. It is proposed to raise a campaign fund of $100,000 to carry out a program of elections in 1920 when alliance candidates, selected for their peculiar fitness, will be drafted and placed in the field for various official positions the organization desires to capture. The labor organizations of this state have arrayed themselves against the "One Big Union" proposed by the radicals, and predict that it will result in "one big fizzle;" but they claim that the triple alliance will form one big union founded on Americanism, affirming that those who produce should decide who shall represent them in the legislature and in other official positions. Labor Shortage Predicted. Predicting a labor shortage in the United States by next fall with wages maintained at least at their present level and an insatiable demand for American-made goods in Europe, Howard Heinz, director general of the American Relief Mission for southeastern Europe and Asia Minor, talked on world economic conditions. "There cannot be reduction in food prices until there is more food produced in the world," he said. "Australia's food stuffs, instead of going to England, are going to relieve famine-streicken India. We cannot live to ourselves in this country. 'Back to the farm' must remain a popular motto, for by increased production we can bring down prices better than by any other means. "I believe European markets today offer America's greatest opportunity. No longer will Germany have the cheap labor it once had to give it lower costs. In fact, Europe's slave wages are a thing of the past." Labor and the Nonpartisans. Three hundred out of the 500 delegates in attendance at the Minnesota State Federation of Labor convention held an after-meeting and resolved unanimously to organize the Working People's Nonpartisan Political League of Minnesota. They adopted among other planks in their platform demands for an eight-hour day and the public ownership of all public utilities. They then voted to co-operate with the National Nonpartisan league. This identifying of labor with farm interests in political action is one of the new phenomena that is significant enough to be worth watching. For National Labor Party. Delegates from ten states representing more than 2,000,000 organized workers will meet at Cleveland, O., after Labor day to organize the American Labor party. The convention may also decide whether to nominate a national ticket in 1920. An effort will be made to insert a plank in the platform calling for the repeal of the national prohibition amendment. It is said. International Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen Take a Drastic Action in Canada. All members of the International Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in the Winnipeg (Manitoba) district, who participated in the recent general strike, which the brotherhood considers illegal, will be expelled from the union, James Murdock, vice president of the organization, said. This policy will be maintained, he declared, even if it means the elimination of every lodge in this district. Fifty-one members of one Canadian lodge already have been expelled. Some of the men have been members of the brotherhood for 25 years. They may, in six months' time; make application for readmission and if permission is given by the grand lodge they may again become members of the organization. Trials of other members in this connection are proceeding. IN THE LABOR WORLD The Winnipeg (Manitoba) Trades and Labor council almost unanimously voted in favor of the "one big union." Germany finds that propaganda is not so attractive when viewed from the muzzle end. Norwalk (O.) telephone girls who threatened to strike decided to continue work when the two companies offered an increase in wages and other concessions. Denver's street car strike ended, following a conference between Mayor Dewey C. Bailey, his cabinet and Charles Boettcher, chairman of the board of directors of the Denver Tramway company. Twenty-five freight engineers of the Cincinnati-New Orleans & Texas Pacific railroad between Danville, Ky., and Oakdale, Tenn., went on strike as a protest against the use of the big Mogul engines. From the wide variety of opinions about the labor situation, it seems to be clear that labor is at least poorly distributed, with some localities full of jobless men and others suffering from manless jobs. The Tri-Mountain, Baltic, Champion and Michigan Smelting companies. Houghton, Mich., announced a resumption of a former high scale of wages in effect before June 15. This means an increase in pay to 3,000 copper mining employees. Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union, has addressed a letter to 150 Chicago manufacturers of women's waists asking for a conference to look into alleged grievances of the workers. He says they want a 44-hour week, a union scale of wages, and better working conditions. By an award signed on June 30 by Judge Snider of Hamilton and Fred Bancroft of Toronto, over 400 boot and shoe workers employed in three large Toronto factories obtain a 40%-hour week, with increased pay for hourly piece-workers. In proportion to the reduction of hours, time and a half for overtime, with wages dating back to May 1 for two factories and June 1 for one. It is learned that Henry Ford has decided to increase the minimum wage of Ford Motor company employees to $7 per day. More than 30,000 employees will be affected by the increase. The present minimum wage of $6 a day was fixed January 1 last. The Detroit Journal says it is proposed through the reorganization of the Ford Motor company to make it possible for employees to share in the dividends. The National Brotherhood of Operative Potters issued an official statement from headquarters that S.000 pottery workers in the United States will submit a demand for a 25 per cent wage increase to the manufacturers at a meeting in September. The present wage scale expires October 1, and in addition to the increase the new scale will contain a provision for an eighth hour day with four working hours on Saturdays. Conductors and motormen of the Indianapolis Street Railway company have received an increase of 3 cents an hour. The new schedule ranges from 37 to 42 cents an hour. The company estimates that the increase will amount to $125,000 annually. In announcing the increase the company says it "will rely on the co-operation of those in authority to grant additional revenues, which will be required to enable the company to discharge its full obligations." Demands of union corset workers of Bridgeport, Conn., for wage increases and improved working conditions were met with the announcement of the Warner Brothers company that the factory, employing 2,500 hands, will be closed indefinitely. The plant is the largest corset manufacturing firm in Bridgeport, which has three others, each employing less than 500. The union workers asked for a 50 per cent increase in wages and substitution of the 44-hour week for the present 48-hour schedule. The waiters' strike at Paris, France, has been settled, an agreement being reached between representatives of the strikers and the employers at the ministry of labor. All cafes and restaurants reopened. A minimum wage of $16.50 a week for women employed in all mercantile establishments in Washington, has been agreed upon by a conference of employers and workers which was called by the minimum wage board of the-District of Columbia. The scale is said to be the highest yet reached through minimum wage legislation for FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1919.
