THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL. 13 NO 30 Dropped Various Efforts To Win The National Election All Classes Are Reading And Will Not Be Fooled or Relegated By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, Nov. 19.—There are to to be the most important developments in the history of the Negro Race in America. These developments will take place within the next four years. Some of the developments are in progress now, others follow in rapid succession. The colored people of the country without losing sight of anything that they desire in the way of manhood rights, dropped for the time concentration of efforts in various fields, and devoted their energies to the national election. In common with the great mass of America, a change of administration was regarded as a matter of first importance in the general scheme of adjustment. This over, and a Republican administration soon be in power for the first time in ten years, from all sections of the country there is a state of earnest expectancy, a looking for "General Orders No. Two,' as it were. What are we to do next? That is the question uppermost in the minds of the masses. It will be seen that this question is somewhat different from the question heretofore asked. In days long gone by, following a Presidential victory, the people, the masses, lost interest, and the fate of the Race was left to a few political job seekers who, finally getting the plums, indeed most insignificant in comparison with the political importance of the Race, the office holders would rest their ears, function as orators, society leaders and political-go between. This state of affairs is not going to be subjected to an onslaught of public contentment that will relegate them to private life and forget fulness, while others more valiant take their place. "Can't Fool The People" The Associated Negro Press, by careful and indiscriminate investigation has learned some of the things that are uppermost in the minds of the people. Having developed the general habit of reading, the people have become students of conditions, and they have opinions that they are free to express. This is not the case in the large cities alone, not by any means. The people of the towns, villages and those of the country side, the people of the one room cabins of the South, as well as those in the ten room luxurious flats and residences of the big centers of living—all of them are thinking and expecting things to be done, not merely talked about. Here are some of the things being talked about from one end of the country to the other. They require immediate organized attention; unselfish and well financed by all who believe in human justice. Lynching The Republican platform as adopted by the Chicago Convention in June, carries a plank on the subject of lynching. The Republican Congress will be required to legislate on this subject. Under this head comes all forms of mob violence, the bombing of property, and other forms of violence. Disfranchisement It is agreed that the time has come for some definite and drastic action with reference to disfranchisement. In the southern states representation in Congress and the electoral college have been based on the total population, yet open defence of the United States Constitution and election subterfuges have been resorted to for years, without much more than a protest, and yet this country went into the World War to make "democracy safe" and the American Negroes furnished nearly 400,000 able-bodied men and millions in money. "Jim Crow" Cars In the matter of southern transportation something must be done immediately. There are those who contend that all discrimination in public must be wiped out. It is well known that a determined effort to enforce such a policy in the South would cause an upheaval that would bring bitter defiance. It is not believed that sufficient support could be obtained from Congress for this drastic step at this time. However, "equal accommodations" is a substitute that could be righteously enforced. Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. Forty Thousand are Members of Coal Miners' Union—One-tenth of Railway Workers are Negroes Looms up Large in Industries Necessary to Our Civilization The Negro is indeed a large factor in labor. He supplies one-seventh of the workers of America. Forty thousand of the three hundred thousand members of the coal miners' union are Negroes. One-third of the workers in America in iron and steel, as well as a large percentage of the workers in the packing industries are Negroes. Negroes form one-half of the employees in the Chicago stock yards. They are also largely represented in building trades. One-tenth of the railway workers in this country are Negroes. It is significant that the Negro looms large in the basic industries necessary to our civilization; namely, the production of fuel, food-stuffs, materials for machinery, and transportation. North and South the Negro is also learning to ally himself to his class and protect himself through unionizing. Four thousand Negroes belong to the metal workers' union of America. The National Brotherhood of the Workers of the World, a Negro labor union numbers 10,000 members. Salisbury, N.C., has a railway union of 18,000 members. In Newport News, Va., Negroes are doing every type of work in the building of a battleship. They have two foremen receiving respectively $125 and $150 a week. In New York and Philadelphia, Negroes are largely represented in the transport and stevedore unions. Garment workers of New York have about 3,000 Negro women in their union, some, of whom are holding offices. These figures show that not only is the Negro making good in the industries of the North, but he is also learning to protect himself from exploitation, both in the North and in the South. He is learning to fuse with his class. This makes certain his firm hold in the industrial field. —Southern Workman. Immigration There is a growing sentiment among whites against the apparently indiscriminate immigration that has reached a total of more than 25,000 a week. These people are seeking to take places in the North now occupied by our group, thousands of whom have come North within the last four years. In the South, certain communities have begun to make inquiry with the idea of satisfying the labor shortage with foreigners. "White Man's Country" The Japanese problem in the West, and, "This is a white man's country." This is regarded as un-American, and against the principles and traditions of the republic, which was founded upon the principle that "All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Industry Industrial organizations, and labor unions have been gradually throwing the door of opportunity open to colored men and women. Their efficiency has been tested and praised. However, it is the task of the Race to exercise every means possible to maintain a standard of excellence that will maintain the principles of merit alone, without regard to Race, in providing means of employment. Commerce The Colored people of the entire country have a quickened appreciation of the value of commercial activity. At every turn corporations of all descriptions are being formed for the purposes of securing and maintaining an economic foothold (Continued on Page Four) WICHITA, KANSAS, IRIDAY, NOV. 19, 1920 WHEN TO "HAUL" SALMON The rod and reel fisherman makes a cast, but the purse-seiner makes a "haul." Of course there is a proper and an improper time to make a haul. When you see a salmon jump, he is in the midst of a school that is milling about, and so this would be an improper time. When the backs of several of them appear just above the water, it is called "finning," and if you wish you can take a chance the fish are too crowded to jump and are not milling. The only drawback is that they are near the surface, and at your first move would become suspicious, declare school out, and stampede; but, when the surface is disturbed by many air bubbles, it betokens a crowded and contented school located deep enough below the suspicious line, so make a haul. One end of the seine is lift with man in a little row-boat who start rowing like mad in an opposite direction as soon as the gas boat gets under way. His object is to keep his end as stationery as possible. The launch is now going full speed ahead and two men are crowding carefully piled seine over the stern in the water; the launch is piloted around to circle the fish, the circle ending with the man in the row-boat. Both ends are made fast to the launch, and the bottom of the net is drawn in and closed by pulling in the purse ropes. Then the net should be taken in so that the salmon are brought to their last stand in as small a part of the seine as will accommodate them. —Southern Workman. JEW IS OBJECT OF HATRED IN EUROPE Some Have Been Deprived of the Vote—Considered as Strangers Are the Instigation of Unrest in England • By The Negro Associated Press Paris, France, Nov. 19—Those who think Race discrimination and hatred are confined among the colored people of America, have something to learn from the terrible campaign of hate against the Jewish people of Europe. During the war Jews were needed, and czarist Russia is the only country where they were martyrized while called to the colors. In western Europe, as in Germany, they were molested. Jews of a certain standing in the community proclaimed their patriotic devotion and expressed feelings whose chauvinisms could be compared to that of the most rabid reactionaries. France has to go far to find more reactionary forces than the Jews Mandel and Ignace. Mandel, Clemenceau's right hand man, and Ignace, the minister of Justice, who sent so many defenders of liberty to suffer in prison. In Israel, as the saying goes, there are merchants and prophets. Among the latter were the men and women of Russian, German and Hungarian revolutions, like Trotsky, Kameneff, Litvinoff, Fritz, Alder, Rose Luxemburg, Radek, Hugo Haase, Bela Kun, Kurt Eisner. And among the Jews in all the twenty nations where they abound persistst hat revolutionary yeast which arises from the Jews' persistent longing and passion for the state of justice described by the prophets of the Bible. Now that the war is no longer needed there is naturally hatred of the race. In the country most loved by M. Mandel and Clemenceau, Hungary, the logical conclusion has been drawn: The British labor movement is inspired by the "hidden Jewish hand." There are many descendants of Polish Jews among the Scotch coal miners. The wife of the British labor leader, Williams, is a Jewess. Thomas is the "damned soul" of Abraham. When anti-Semitism merely takes By The Negro Associated Press Seattle, Wash., Nov. 19—Lorenzo Cole, pianist, appeared in a farewell recital before a large audience at the Press Club auditorium. Miss Cole whose ability has excited favorable comment, presented a program calculated to tax the powers of an experienced artist. The Schuman Sonata in G Minor, the Chopin G. Minor Ballade, and a group of Negro folk songs transcribed by S. Coleridge Taylor, were among the numbers most enthusiastically received. The pianist leaves shortly on a concert tour of seven months' duration. WHAT OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO? Is discussed More Than League of Nations and Politics, Says Simmons. By The Negro Associated Press Denver, Colo., Nov. 19 — "The question before the country is not what are you going to do about the league of nations, but what are you going to do with the American Negro," declared Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, in an address delivered to an audience at the Auditorium. Throughout the address the speaker, in a genial and unbiased manner, analyzed the present conditions in this country, and made a strong plea for greater recognition of the achievements of the Race. "There are fourteen million Negroes in America today," said Col. Simmons. "My mission is to keep nine fourteen million American Negroes side by side with the American white man. It it no concern of mine whether the American white man stands by the American Negro. It is the duty of the American Negro to stand by the American Negro." Emphasizing the necessity of patience on the part of the Negro in his fight for better conditions, the speaker declared that the American Negro was not only the best friend, but the only friend of the American white man and that future wars and strife would show the real valor of the Negro on his true friendship for the white race. the form of talk, there is not much harm done. But sometimes such words start terrible clashes, such as that'o fa few weeks ago, when the Jewish quarter was invaded by trailers, who destroyed everything they could lay their hands on, slaughtering Jewish men tearing the clothes of Jewish girls and invalids and horsewhipping them in public. So great is the anti-Semitic feeling in the army today that the man who denounced the officers guilty of such atrocities is now languishing in jail accused of "outrages against the army." And yet some people would have us believe war is a moralizing force. Jews have been deprived of the vote. Considered as "strangers," they are deprived of all rights, and a faithful follower of Admiral Horthy adds that to be really logical shey should not only be deprived of all rights, but massacred and utterly eradicated. The frightful programs in Poland, beloved child of our government, are an old story. The drunken soldiery of Pilsudkl of abominable excesses of Pulsidkl is guilty of abominable excesses every time it enters a new "rone," massacring and assaulting women, children and old men. But even in those parts of Poland where there is no fighting the lot of the Jew is a terrible one. Programs are openly perpetrated and every day frightful atrocities are committed against the people whose only crime is that they are not of the Aryan race. I France too, an anti-Semitic campaign is being waged. Drumont believed that every Jew is damned, never, having been redeemed, and should before be thrown beyond the pale of Christian society. Our modern nationalities divide Jews into two classes, "good Jews who contribute lavishly to nationalist, charitable enterprises, and the others." According to our nationalists, all the evils of the present time may be ascribed to Jewish influence. Jews, they claim, are the cause of the Russian, German and Hungarian revolutions. They are also the instigators of the unrest in England. Consider Themselves Descendants of Essau, Brother of Jacob—Were Born in Palestine By The Negro Associated Press New York, N. Y., Nov. 19.—a cult of self-styled "true Jews" Negroes have been discovered in Harlem, by B. Levitin, a reporter on the Jewish daily. "The Forward." They are led by a chief prophet, a certain mysterious Roberson, who has never yet been produced, and claim to have seventy members in this country. Twelve elders head the board of directors of this organization, which, on its letterheads calls itself "The Settlement Workers" 'Association.' When Mr. Levitin, in the interests of American Jewry, traced the claimant to the title of "true Jews," he found them holding their meetings in the back of a co-operative grocery store at 2367 Seventh Avenue. This part of the store they considered too sacred for his intrusion, but they consented to give chim the interview under a tree at the corner of 155th Street and Third Avenue. The secretary of the cult was at first afraid to say anything on the ground that the "white Jews" were going to persecute these "real Jews." "You white Jews are afraid," he said, "that we, the real Jews, should not tell the world the whole truth that we, the colored, and not you, are the real Jews." He then declared that the cult, considered themselves descendants of Esau, brother of Jacob, who was colored. Most of the following, he said, had been born in Palestine, while others came from Calcutta, India, but had been in Palestine. Most of them speak an Eastern dialect, possibly Arabic, which call "God's language." Only one of the elders was American born, but he said that his parents came from Palestine. The American-born elder said he had learned this "God language" in five minutes. Though they claim to be Jewish, many more crucifixes on their persons and affirm their belief in both the Old and New Testaments. They do not seem to know of any of the Jewish holidays, according to Mr. Levitin, and do not keep the Sabbath. This omission they explained by saying that since a day of eternal time was equal to a thousand years of earthly time, and since the Jews, by their own intimations, are in the five thousandth temporal year or fifth day (in eternal time) of their existence, the Sabbath, or seventh day had still two thousand years in which to arrive. The "Hebrew Settlement Workers" live on the communistic plan, following earthly occupations and paying their wages into a common fund, from which they draw all their necessities. They claim to be maintaining an orphan asylum for white and Negro children as Obsecon, N. J., and also somehere on Long Island. FORSAKES FAMILY FLEES TO AMERICA Mothers Ends her own life/Father Leaves three Motherless Children By The Neuro Associated Press Havana, Cuba, Nov. 19—Mrs. Jeanette L. Ryder, Band of Mercy, Havana, Protector of Animals and Children, is seeking Edward Butler, a preacher, painter and carpenter, last heard of in Nassau, Key West, Mobile, Tampa. Mrs. Ryder has denounced Butler before the American legation and Criminal Court of Havana, with Criminal action in having abandoned his three motherless children immediately after the suicide of this young wife and fleeing without a pass port of record, to the jurisdiction of the United States." The story of Butler's treatment of his wife and children gives one a crispy feelings. Upon her death bed the dying woman said: I did it because I did not care to see another child suffer. Butler has not fed these I've already borne him." If the Bible is right, where does America stand? "He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now."—I John 2:9. PRICE, FIVE CENTS 11 Southern States Have Fewer Voters Than Illinois—Has Five Times as Many Representatives Representation and Electoral College Must Compare With Votes Cast At The Polls By The Negro Associated Press Pittsburgh, Ienna., Nov. 19.—Reduction of Southern representation, is going to get an inning in Congress. A number of out-spoken newspapers have spoken frankly on the subject. The Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, one of the leading daily newspapers of Pennsylvania, speaking of this important subject says: "With the 1920 census figures before it, Congress will soon have to take up the question of reappointing the membership of the House. There are now 435 members, on the basis of one for 210,504 persons. A reduction rather than an increase of membership is being strongly urged. This could be accomplished by apportioning representation on the basis of the Presidential vote instead of upon the basis of population. This would reduce the entire membership, but would especially affect the southern representation. The states which do not allow Negroes to vote would be particularly hard hit. Section 2 of the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution provides that "when the right to vote is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such states being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the same proportion which the number of such male citizens shall be reduced in the same proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state." The eleven states of the "solid South" have a fifth of the nation's population, but out of a total Presidential vote of 18,528,743 in 1916 they cast only 1,796,108 ballots. A condition where eleven Southern states, plus Oklahoma, have fewer voters than Illinois, but five times its representatives in Congress and in the electoral college certainly calls for correction. "The situation mentioned does not take into consideration the new woman vote. Southern members of Congress did not hesitate to declare, when fighting the enabling resolution for submission of the woman suffrage amendment, that Negro women would never be allowed to vote in their section. If the South persists in its policy of debarber disfranchisement it cannot complain if it suffers the direct legal consequences of its course and has its representation reduced in Congress and the electoral college to accord with its actual vote at the polls. NEGRO BOY WINS FIRST PLACE Wins in Poetry Contest—Twenty- Six Schools Participated New York, N. Y., Nov. 19.—Two prizes offered for the best poems submitted by school pupils by the High School Poetry Society of New York have been awarded to Countie Porter Cullen, a Negro boy pumpl of the DeWitt Clinton School, and Alma Rochford of the Manual Training, Brooklyn. The contest was held under the auspices of the Women's Federation of Clubs. Pupils of twenty-six schools participated. The boy's poem, entitled, "I have a Rendezvous with Life"—suggested by Alan Seegar's famous war poem, follows. I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH LIFE I have a rendezvous with life In daws I hone will come, Ere youth has sped and strength of mind, Ere voices sweet grow dumb, I have a rendezvous with life When Spring's first heralds hum. It may be I shall meet her soon, Shall rlot at her behest, It may be I shall seek in vain The peace of her downy breast; Yet I shall keep this rendezvous, And deem all hardships sweet, If at the end of the long white way, There life and I shall meet. Sure some would cry it better far To crown my days with sleep. Than face the road, the wind, the rain. To heed the calling deep, The over nor blow nor space I fear, Yet fear I deely too, Lest Death shall greet and claim me ere I keep my rendavous --- NATIONWIDE FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE American Red Cross Will Have Health Centers in All Parts of United States. The American Red Cross has launched upon a nation wide campaign of fighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new and unique health institution has come into being as the result of several months' study by the Red Cross Health Service Department at National Head quarters. Officials in charge of the department predict that before long this new health activity will be in actual operation all over the country, and that the sign—"American Red Cross Health Center"—will become as familiar to the people everywhere as are now the signs of the telegraph companies. Busy Long Before War. The interest of the American Red Cross in the fight against disease is not, however, of recent origin. Long before the war the organization began this health service through its medical units in disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nursing. During the war and following the armistice thousands of American Red Cross officials have been fighting disease in the war stricken countries. At the same time tens of thousands of local Red Cross officials have been engaged at home fighting disease, notably during the influenza epidemics. The American Fed Cross has determined that all this valuable experience in health service abroad and at home shall not go to waste. So long as there are a half a million people dying yearly in this country from preventable causes, and so long as more than one-third of the American children and young people are victims of physical defects, the Red Cross recognizes the urgent need for continued Red Cross health service at home. How Organization Works. The Red Cross Health Center is governed by business principles, applies business methods, and, in its more simple form, can be established and conducted by lay people. It proceeds upon the demonstrated fact that health is a commodity that can be bought and sold like brooms and soap. Therefore, it establishes itself in a storeroom in the principal business section of the community. It displays its goods in the form of attractive health exhibits in its show windows. It advertises constantly and extensively. And it uses every business and social device to attract customers. The Red Cross Health Center is of service to the sick in that it gives out reliable and complete information about existing clinics, hospitals, sanatoria and other institutions for the sick and the defective; about available nurses, both trained and practical; about when to consult a physician and why to shun the quack and his nostrums. Teaching Disease Prevention. The Red Cross Health Center is, however, of even greater service to the well. It teaches people how to prevent sickness and disease. This is done in many interesting and attractive ways—first of all, by the distribution of popular health literature and through health lectures illustrated with lantern slides or with health motion picture films. Then special exhibits are given, one after the other, on various health subjects. Practical demonstrations are made; also health playlets by children to interest and instruct themselves and their elders. Clasuses are organized in personal hygiene, home care of the sick, first aid and in food selection and preparation. Health clubs, both for younger and older people, are formed; also Little Mothers' Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics are conducted for children. Already more than a hundred of these Red Cross Health Centers are in actual operation throughout the country. Many of them also conduct medical clinics, but the one chief, outstanding feature of the American Red Cross Health Center is its health education service which teaches well people how to keep well. FRENCH PRAISE FOR OUR RED CROSS WORK Lauding the work accomplished by American philanthropy for war stricken France, Andre Tardieu, former high commissioner from that nation to the United States. In a recent article widely commented on throughout the French press, says: — "The American Red Cross has accomplished a work which calls for the heartfelt gratitude of every true Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief organization spent in behalf of France nearly 87,000,000 francs, and in 1919 its expenditures on charitable projects in our country attained the tremendous total of 171,000,000. It has recently turned over to the French relief organizations huge stocks of supplies whose value must be counted in the hundreds of thousands of francs. "Fifteen million American boys and girls, banded together in the Junior Red Cross of America, are back of a movement to establish the closest ties between themselves and France's younger generation through the charitable works they have financed and are now carrying out among our little war sufferers. "The bonds of friendship between France and America is cemented with mutual admiration, respect and gratitude."

He gives an instance where Lang ordered the machine gun turned on a native as he walked away, not even trying to escape, not running nor had he committed a crime worthy of death before the law, but he was carrying out the old Southern spirit, it is better to be dead and the country stained with murder, than act disobedient to a white man, making the native'a jail, (Hinche) only a fattening coop hke all Southern jails and fastly becom- ing all American jails, Think of a,man sent from a Christian country to carry peade to a nation whom this country decided was too unChria- tianly to not be crue! on one another and must have help to stop the atrocities, ordering a weapon turned on him, that gave no chance for hfe, What help ia het The same Destroying Angel only extending his ter- fitory. Now, such practice as this since 1918 and worse. Sometimes, hunting the natives, who were in hiding in grass and woods and making them objects for target precee, striking them over ther heads with riftes ky soldiers of the Marine, knoching out their brains, because they did not suit their fancy. He also accused Lang of applying electric cur- rent to a prisoner because he would not talk and he dfed in two days. Adolph Bourgot, a native gendarme corporal accused Lang of murdering three Haitian prisoners ot Hinche, Think of the gwful agony, these people as well as us, must endure to see our land sending out men with authority and military powor to destroy the weak and helpless. They go in the name of rirace, but it is on the Dollars they are paid, while this country desircs the riches of that proud httle country. We see only two differences between these bandits and those who hold up our banks, stores and persons,—they are authorized while the others are not, they will catch the unauthorized, if they can; and will not catch the other if they can help it. The Devil {s again taking Christ upon a high mountain and claiming the world as his kingdom, how long will He haten at his deceitful argument and be permitted to roam over the helpless, rest in the hands of God, he is willing to help if we simply push in His name, And get ready to act when the time comes. ———_0o—__. THE WAY THE WHITE PRESS SEES US« On the first page of our Daily Eagle, we see this morning where a Georgia mob of 150, killed two men and one woman who were accused of murdering a planter, Think, again, this country making murderers of 150 per day, wall only be a short time before this spint will exist in every citizen's breast, then this was a small mob of Georgians, they must didn’t have much or any grounds for action to use only 150 murderers at once to kill three, Jt usually takes three times that many for each Negro murdered, Now, this bought on the map, Douglas, Ga., to be viewed by the rest of the world as truly a Georgia spirit, Mark Anthony brought out the blood-dyed garments when he was making the speech over Caesar's dead body, ‘and the thought came Into our minds, suppose the garments of-all the murdered innocent Negroes were brought to the Capitol of Georgia or the Nation and the words of Mark Anthony repeated, “Let those who have tears to shed, prepare to shed them now,” and God would scoop out a channel to hold the tears that have betn shed and those then shed, we believe they would float the biggest war vessel Uncle Sam has, but since it scoms impossible to float the Nation’s help toward Georgia, and the other Southern states, we believe that the tears will some day float God's Man-O’War to the helpless in this land and country, While we found in tle first colimn what shows the tendency of the white press; we found in the largest city in Georgia, the gate-way to the South, At- lanta, where a Negro boy was brave enough and thoughtful enough to chance his hife to crawl to the safe, closing the door and turning the combi. nation, while fifteen of the Georgia noted law breakers stood with their hands up. The white thieves received $100 from the customers, and the deed of the Negro enme out on page, 18, sccond to the last article, with the word Negro spelled with a low case or without a capital. He saved the big sum of money , when the others dared to move, still it seemed aa ‘f it were tried to be hidden. Now, this is the second nature of the white press, to bring forth the destruction and hide the chivalry of the Negro, still there are our people who say: “I read both white papers, and 1 think that is as much as I can stand, you will never have the vis- fon unless you clange. ——_o—__.
