--- THE NEGRO WOMENCAUSE SPLIT IN THE WHITE CLUB. VOL. 13 NO. 43 THE NEGRO WOMEN SPLIT IN 6000 Negro Women Organize By The Negro Associated Press ALEXANDER, LA., Dec. 24—One of the interesting inquiries of the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Louisiana, held here will not form part of the records of that organization. This incident was the fight over the question of allowing a committee of Negro woman, contemplating organizing a woman's club, to attend one of the sessions of Federated Women's Clubs to see how the women conduct a convention." The request to allow a committee of women to occupy seats in the rear of the hall as spectators, came from a number of our women of Alexandria. The question was put up to the council of the Federation Women's Clubs, composed of elected officers and state presidents. The council was about evenly divided on the question, and when the "yes" and "nay" vote was taken it Negro Adds To His Wealth. By The Negro Associated Press MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 24—One of the most important financial trans- actions in the history of the rate in Memphis in recent years was con- sumated by the purchase outright of the large and well equipped St. Anthony's Hospital. This institution and its grounds have been acquired by the National Grand United Order of Wise Men of the World for $11- 000. St. Mark Church Makes Another NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. 24—The vacant block bounded by 187th and 138th streets, St. Nicholas and Edgecombe avenues, has been purchased by St. Mark's Church which is to improve it with a church having an auditorium seating 2,00 people and a parish house. The price paid for the site was not divulged, but it is planned to spend $25,000 on the improvement. This amount will be derived from the sale of the present church property on fifty-third street between Broadway and Eighth avenue and by subscriptions. Dr. William H. Brooks is the pastor. The site faces St. Nicholas Park and is diagonally across the park from City College. Nearby are modern apartments. A NEW WORTHY Feature.

C., Dec. 24—A new and modern hotel for colored people is to be constructed here in the very rear future. Dr. W. H. Bruee, local physician, and Bishop L. W. Kyles, of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, now a resident of St. Louis, but owner of considerable property in this city and section, have procured a site and are now having plans prepared for the building Architect, Gilbert C. Humphries expects to complete the plans in the next few days, after which the preliminaries to construction will be worked out. The building will be located on the site of the old Grace Presbyterian church on Denot Street between Seventh and Eighth streets and will cost approximately $100,000. was believed the question had carried favorably to the Negroes. Those opposing the entrance into the Convention hall, forced an immediate adjournment, and hurried consultations ensued. Meanwhile someone notified the committee they could enter the hall. After they entered it they told that a mistake had been made, and that while the council had passed on question, the general body had not ratified it. The women left the hall and when the question was put before the general body, the question was defeated by a vote of 2 to 1. The motion to expunge the record of the proceedings on that question from the books of of the orgagization was carried unanimously. According to prominent members of the Federated Women's Club who opposed the entrance of women into the convention hall, an organizer of the Federation Eastern Clubs, numbering about 6000 Negro Women members is in Alexandia, organing women into clubs.

GIDDINGS, TEXAS, Dec., 24—"God called a man to preach in this age. He also called him to prepare," declared Bishop William Dreker Johnson of Plains, Ga., in addressing the ministers of the West Texas Metodist Episcopal Conference, "for in this age where the public schools, private schools, and colleges are turning out so many God can't use an ignorant man.

If you do your duty you will not have to stir up strife." (By The Negro Associated Press.) FORT SMITH, ARK, Dec. 24—Deputy Sheriff Art Person and special Deputy Bert McKenle of Braden Leflore County, Okla., were beaten into insensibility in the streets of Fort Coffee, a Leflore County Negro settlement.

United Charities Secured His Freedom AUSTIN, TEXAS, Dec., 24--Parole from the state penitentiary has been granted by the governor to Henry Gooden, Jr., Negro, who was convicted of murder at Dallas and given a term of five years. The parole was secured through the efforts of the United Charities and similar organizations in Austin, which have been supporting the wife and four children during his imprisonment. Even In Maryland Justice Is Not FOR Negroes (By The Negro Associated Press.) BALTIMORE, MD., Dec., 24—It was a few minutes before 9 o'clock and the 150 students in the Colored public school on the Washington road, at Landsdowne, were in their places, ready for classes to begin, when Dallas Gourley and Jack Climens, two marines from Quantico, staggered into the building and "told the world" they were going to "clean out the place." They had made a good beginning, according to witnesses and had terrorized teachers and students when one youngster, resorting to extreme measures, opened fire on the olive garbed raiders with a volley of rocks. Clements, who at the time was engaged in chasing the frightened students through the schoolyard, intercepted one of the missiles with his beard. He was knocked unconscious and rolled down a steep embankment into the roadaway, where Gourley was administering first aid treatment to the best of his drunken ability, when eight motorcycle policemen, responding to a riot call, pulled upon the school. Clements was taken to St. Agnes Hospital, where a gash in his scalp several inches long was dressed, and the two marines were then aking n to the south-western Police Station and locked up. When the marine disturbers appeared in court before magistrate deMarco, and apologized, the case was dismissed. Colored citizens are indignant over the outcome. Said one: "If those had been Colored men listurbing a white school, well—" DO YOUR DUTY HOLD YOUR JOB By The Negro Associated Press CHICAGO, Dec. 24-Reports reaching the Associated Negro Press from all sections of the country disclose the fact that the labor situ- tion, so far as our people are con- cerned, is about the same as it was one week ago. There are large num- bers of people out of work, and open- ings are very few. Leroy Tucker, superintendent of the Illinois Free Employmen; Bu- reau, Chicago, states that: "New the time for all people to hold fa- t to the jobs they have and rather than be thrown out of employment", accept a slight reduction in wages. Africa For The BERLIN, Dec., 24—Both reactionaries and radicals in Germany unite in the opinion that the military education of Negroes in the French army is, in their opinion, a world menace. German propaganda busied itself during the war with tales of the outrages perpetrated by the Negroes. At the same time the condemnation of France could not be made sufficiently strong because she took these innocent aboriginal children and slaughtered them in a white man's war. General Mangin's article in the latest issue of the Revue des deux Mondes demands that rFance increase her black arm and bring pressure to bear on Belgium under the terms of the France-Belgium military convention to lonscript the 20,000,000 natives in the Belgium colonies. "This French colonial officer does not suspect the results which are already beginning to be apparent from the use of black troops in the world War." comments the Deutsche Allemine Zeitung, the German government's official mouthpiece. "Appreciation of the effects is beginning to dawn on America, however," it continues. "As a result of the first meeting of the International Negro Improvement association in New York the slogan was adopted, 'Africa for the African,' The speakers at this convention await a new world war within the next twenty yetrs. Then the Afri- (ENGLISH) PAINTERS OF NEW YORK, Dec., 24—The entire country is becoming greatly interested, if not alarmed, about the renewed efforts of Bolshevists, to stir Colored Americans against the government. One of the most amazing expositions of this new move is expressed editorially in the New York Sun, which says:— "There seems to be an impression among foreign peoples that our Negro population constitutes the Achilles' heel of the United States. During the war German agents went through the South trying to create trouble by turning the Colored people against the Government. Despite the ill success of this undertaking Lenine and his minions at Moscow seem now intent upon renewing the attempt in furtherance of the cause of Bolshevism. If we may credit recent reports from Russia, MAHENDRA NATH ROY, an East Indian, has just been dispatched to Mexico whence, with the assistance of ample funds he is to direct a campaign of agitation among the Negroes of this country. an Negro will fight neither under the banner of France nor of England but under the banner of liberty to conquer the African continent for themselves while the white races are otherwise engaged. In the meantime the leaders will continue their propaganda. In this connection it is to be remembered that at the beginning of the year their own publication, the African and Oriental Review in London, advised the cooperation of the Africans and the Asiatics. "The French and the Bellgian are arming and drilling the masses, who will later turn their arms against them in the service or the African cause." KAPPA -ALPHA -PSI HOLD SESSION.

Y AL, E COUNTRY LOYAL? He will be assisted, so it is claimed, by a certain Von Schlonberg, formerly of Brooklyn, who was designated by no less a body than the Third Internationale as a proper person for inoculating the Colored people with the Bolshevik microbe. Just what our loyal, peaceful, law-abiding Negro population has done to justify these hopes we are at a loss to understand. Since the oboition to the country half a century ago they have demonstrated repeatedly their devotion to the country and to its institutions. The fact that they fought tens of thousands strong in France under the Stars and Stripes in itself should be sufficient to discourage foreign agitations. And although there is much to justify the claim that the Negroes have not yet received their full rights under the Constitution, on the whole their lot compares most favorably with that of many of the people of Europe. Certainly they would not wish to exchange it for the hunger and want which Bolshevism has brought to unhappy Russia. Bishop Brooks Has Great Vision For Africa. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Warren, Ark. Dec.—Iliop W. Sampson Brooks of St. Louis, recently assigned to work in West Africa, was a visitor to the African Methodist Church Conference here. He made an address before the conference, appealing for aid in his "efforts to evangelize the dark continent." Bishop Brooks said he expected to establish several schools there for missionaries. Bishop I. N. Ross, presiding officer of the conference, in an address declared that prohibition has proven the country's salivation, and that Negroes were 'great beneficiaries.' He condemned the use of tobacco by preachers. Negro Music. Duluth, Minn., Dec. 24-To establish a national conservatory, for the purpose of preserving Negromusic, as expressed in the folkeongs, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, the president of the Washington Conservatory of Music, organized a drive to last 10 days, to raise $100,000 to endow such an institution. The Washington Conservatory was the first conservatory movement among Negroes in this country, and during the 17 years of its existence, has among its graduates 40 of the, leading artists of the country.

By The Negro Associated Press Independence, Kaneas, Dec, 24 —When the amoke of a hare fought race rlot lifted here last Thursday night, a Negro and s young white man were murder ed among the dead and fow white men were found probably three of them fatally hurt. The thot was the sequence of a quar relin the earlier part of the day in whicha Negro shot and killed R, R, Wharton, a white grocer. The night affray might have been averted if'a few over-zeal ous whites had not organized F posse which went ont and at- tempted to make wholesale ar- rests of Colored men who spoke out in defense of the man accus. edof killing the grocer, Late in the day, Noble Green, one ofthe Negroes who was among the more outspoken of the Ne- Negroes, was chased by a mob and brought to fail. This act so angered the Negroes that they armed and organized a de. fense guard to protect then- selves against wholesale arrests by the local authorities. Later the two armed forces met in the public square and the riot ensued in the course of which the white and Nexro were killed and four or more whites wera probably fatally wounded. The fight lasted about two hours and was finally stopped by the local police, assieted by a detachment of the local Ameri- can Legion and the home guards, The killing of Whartan occur red early inthe morning, soon after le had opened his store, There has been no recurrence of the rioting since last Thursday right. Drunkenness Said To Be Cause Of Riot. (By Associated Negro Press) Manilla, Philipines Dee, 24- Seven Philipines, three Ameri. can police and one army clerk were killed and many more of whites were wounded and severe- ly hurtin a riot here last Thurs- day by members of the Filipino Constabulary. The rioting was the worst in the history of Amer. ican occupation. Governor Francis B, Harrison was hero of the riot, Called from his bed he went out and took command of the govern- ment forces and in a short while quelled the rioters, The riot had its origin in the killing ofa white American po- lice by members of the native constabulatory, The American is declared to have been drunk and to have resisted arrest by the native officers. He was accus ‘ed of having brutally treated th> wife of one of the native officers under circumstances that are de- clared to have been specially re- volting. 7 After order had been “restored and the constabulatory had re- tired to their barracks, Mayor Fernandez ia said to have de- clared the presence of the bar- racks in the heart of the commu- nity aconstant source of irrita’ tion between the natives and American officers and advised their removal outside the city Hmits, Important Preliminary Notice Community Training Institute.

MEMBER OF WILD ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE EMANCIPATION On New Year's Day of 1863, when President Lincoln turned over his new leaf which meant more righteous than the other leaf, he turned to the time when God had alot for the freeing of 4 mh of the most progressive Amer. that have ever breathed the American atmosphere. We only wish could come back and review the work of his hand, because we believe, he did more than he thought. We would like for him to hear one white American, our Congressman Judge Richard A. Bird speaker on the same platform with 2 of our black Americans on New Year's night at the celebration of one of the greatest events in the history of the American civilization at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Though 58 years have passed, continual achievements of the race, the marked pride of culture from every standpoint, the burning zeal to only have the best, make him polish each year as it passes into oblivion with memories, that any coming generation may read the signs of the time and get from it inspiration to rush to a mark of high calling. We would like for him to see a race, that has produced in 58 years what other races took hundreds of years to accomplish, viz: Wealth, Professional men, Contractors, Insurance companies, Fraternal organization, Church edifices, Businesses of every kind, poets authors and in fact they stand shoulder to any, the world over We know he would be proud to see that he didnot make any mistake by turning a loose a burden on the government, who would think it right to live on the skill of others, but he would see only a coming people waving the flag of victory from battle of life; who won the hardest victories from the hardest points with insufficient funds and still he sings: "My country 'tis of thee, We would like for Lincoln to see a people, who imbibed all the love he had for the union and has added more to that by the battle of many wars since he made New Year's Day the great day of opportunities for 4 million, who had none. We would like for him to see that he has used many of the opportunities, that this great civilization had in store for any people who were able to have visions; and muscles and brain enough to follow the visions until all men saw the glory as it shined in unmistakable glory for the blessing of everyone. We would like like for him to see how well we can adjust ourselves to the conditions of any part of this country and only those, who are blind with prejudice and jealousy, because of his past record can find the race a burden. We would like for him to be accompanied by the Recording Angel, who knows all men by their honesty of purpose, to look over the race's short comings, then throw them on the scales with any other 15 million people in the world and see if we don't compare favorably to any. We would like for them both to help us rejoice over the fact that we have produced for assets to Christian civilization to the square inch more noble characters, than we have criminals to the square mile. We would like for them too, while in our presence, help us cry over those, whose hearts, minds and souls are lost, be cause of the number of murdered who stand as witnesses against them in judgement and we will point out spots of disgrace on Christian Civilization. We would like for him to help us with that tender Heart of his, that would not let business or war, carry him by a bird exposed to the lilies of enmies, but stopped to put them back in their nests, to help us select ```markdown ``` Sweet land of liberty." Y AT WICHITA, KANSAS TELEPHONE MARKET 3130 NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Assistant Editor ION RATES: $ 1.50 90 50 20 June 12th 1919, at the Post Office at March 3, 1879. Sign name whether or not it is to be super. We reserve the right to reject us at once, when you fail to receive words and give us the sweetness of expression that we might make it known to our American friends both North and South, that we appreciate every kind thought, we realize every kind act and we rejoice to know your hearts are broadened by the care of us; and what you have done for us in material in ways are giving back to you in loyalty, honesty bravery and human service. Kansas goes on record again with a blood stained spot where the overzealous whites decided at Independence, Kan, that they would, like other out-laws all over this country, take the law over and in its stead give mob violence achance to resign supreme. Unfortunate the two men quelled and still more unfortunate one was killed and not as usual the dead man was a white man of course, they could not stand that so they must reap bountifully for this white blood, so they began to molest every Negro, who chance to meet the unreasonable mass until the battle smoke was reporting to the skies that it was "Hot time in this town." When the smoke was cleared, the Negrogs had proven to be the best markmen in the time of battle so they added 4 more to their number, while the white's only added one. No one could have commonsense and rejoice in such unfortunate occurrences, but why couldn't these American citizens, let the law take its course; if the law is not strong enough to meet requirements or punishments of all deeds then make the law efficient and abide by the law. There is nothing to be gained in a riot, but plenty to lose: 1st. your head; 2d property; 3d. respect for human life 4th. Your life and 5th Future is marked. It is so foolish for people, who don't believe in such things, to stand and let the low and "rif-raf" of a community take possession to destroy they have nothing to lose. Away behind all this is the unfairness of the law, which is trying to give to one man the inheritance of the earth and at the same time trying to make the other man a worshipper at his shrine. If the law will simply quit hunting dodges to justify prejudice and see the races, like God intended, equal; then such things will be impossible. With nearly two years in our rear we stand looking back with loving desire to be remembered by those in distance land, who blessed us and and we hope we blessed them. While we hold them dear, we look around we hold them dear, we look around us to see nothing but friends, no enemies, because we have not learned what to do with enemies as yet. We have never found where they were helpfull so we don't look for them, but we do thank all for all they have done to make it possible for us to be here and stay. We thank you for turning your brightest aside to us and we mean to keep the same side to you that we both may walk in the light of good deeds, that we need not blunder in the dark made by our own conduct towards each other.

Mr. Tocker states that in his opinion those who have come North to live are not returning South in the numbers that the daily press would have the public think. He states that there is a serious consideration among a number of employers in various parts of the country relative to retaining Colored help. There is a very lively group, he declares, they recently held a meeting in St. Louis for the avowed purpose of displacing their Colored employees and putting in whites. In the matter of openings, it is disclosed that there are some employers, who have accepted the theory that "Blood is thicker than water" and the places that are opened are given to white workers. This condition is not general, however, a large number of firms fry stating that they prefer our workers to foreigners who cannot speak English, and who make large sums of money only to take it out of the country, while Colored workers spend all here.
