UNITED WORLD OF NEGROES, DESIRE OF MARCUS GARVEY
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: I feel sure that none of you, meaning those who have caught the vision of service and sacrifice for race, has in any way faltered because of the sacrifice I have been called upon to make for the good of our grand and noble cause.
We Are Negroes; But—
We are Negroes, but we are not less than other men of other races in their courage and determination, fighting for a good cause.
Bright Hope for All
If I were to feel that any member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or real member of my race had lost hope and given up because of my imprisonment and suffering, then I would weep for the failure of my effort to convince men that there is no easy road to victory and that if the serf must be free he himself must fight for his liberty.
Teaching Shall Not Fail
Surely my teachings of years shall not fail among the millions of black men and women who have heard me. Surely you courageous millions will carry on, fearing not hell itself in the struggle for a place among men and for the freedom of our country. Africa
Enemies Still at Work to Discourage You
I understand that our enemies are still trying to discourage you, and now that I am imprisoned they are endeavoring to use several of our disloyal presidents and officers at different points of the country to disobey the orders of the Parent Body at New York and build up little organizations of their own by which they locally could exploit the people. Fellow members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and fellow Negroes, watch carefully and guard your organization against local self-seeking presidents or officers. Remember the purpose for which you have been organized. It was not for supporting selfish men at your expense and to your loss, but for our coming together as one great body to do together what we could not do separately.
Parent Body Like Federal Government
The Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is like the great Federal Government of the United States or like the great Imperial Government of Great Britain. All the States are subordinate to the Federal Government and all the Dominions are subordinate and loyal to the home government in England; so also must the divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world be subordinate and loyal to the Parent Body at New York. Therefore, any president or officer, whether he be in Chicago, Panama or Santo Domingo, who feels like making a little local personal business for himself out of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, there is but one thing for the membership to do, and that is to ask him to take his exit.
Look Out for Disloyal Leaders
Look out for disloyal leaders at this time. Keep your eyes open and make no mistake in putting them out of the association as fast as they show their heads.

MARCUS GARVEY'S MESSAGE FROM THE TOMBS PRISON, NEW YORK
Scheming in Chicago
Information has been supplied me that a few disloyal presidents of certain divisions have been sending out requests to other presidents to meet them in Chicago in keeping with a plan of the enemy at this time to destroy the organization. If this information is true, I now take the opportunity of warning all loyal presidents and officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to ignore such communications and forward same to the Complaint Department of the Association in New York.
One or Two Day Convention This Year
Each division of the Association will hold a one or two day local convention this year and prepare for the big International Convention next year. There will be no State convention, but local divisional conventions. Members, be careful and watch the self-seekers who have done more harm to our great cause than good. Watch out for disloyalty and do not fail to act in removing the individual from office.
All Standing Together
We can only win out when all of us stand together. Let no one fool you into believing that dividedly we can win. It is impossible. We must be united and together.
Thirteen Persons Built Organization
Remember, men and women, that I took thirteen men and women and in five years built up a world-wide organization of millions. Don't let the selfish devils tear you asunder and destroy our work of race unity and uplift. Keep up the work for just a few more years and God is sure to crown our efforts with success.
Parent Body Sacrificed to Organize Branches
Remember that the Parent Body spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and I ran the risk of my liberty to build up all the branches and divisions all over the world; and now is the time for all these divisions to stand behind the Parent Body and push the work.
Worked Without Self-Seekers
When we were laying the foundation, when we were making sacrifices, we did not see the self-seekers, so, members, beware; watch them.
and don't fail to let them go. I am satisfied to be in prison because of serving the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but I would feel grieved to know that rascals and cheats have profited by my work and sacrifice.
Biggest Negro Movement in the World
Remember, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the biggest Negro movement in the world: It will always attract good and bad men. The good you will keep, the bad you will put out. If we have to put out people it is because they are either helpless or crooked: if they are no good we can't keep them.
Rally to the Colors
Loyal members and friends, we now must rally to the colors. We must leave no stone unturned to push ahead the work of our organization.
Support Committee of Management
Please support the Parent Body through the Committee of Management. I ask and beseech of all members, branches, chapters and divisions to be loyal and dutiful in obeying the commands of the management, whom I will advise and direct with my help until I return to you.
Let Us Pull Together
Let us all pull together as we have always done, and don't allow the devil and our enemies to come between. We must all make one big pull and all together, and let us do this with clear minds and pure hearts. Don't mind what the enemy says That cannot hurt you. It is what you do and say that hurt.
Honor to Be Imprisoned
It is an honor to be imprisoned and to suffer for a great cause like the Universal Negro Improvement Association. My hours are made bright and gladsome when I think of you, the ones I love so much. When I think of the possibilities and glories of the future and the good my sacrifice will do in inspiring others on to action. I rejoice within me for the day and time in which I was born to render service to my race and its humanity.
Fight Against Dreadful Odds
To make our organization I have had the fight of my life. I have had to fight against dreadful odds, but now we are here with a big and wonderful movement, and all that is necessary to keep it a-going is your financial and moral support. Help the Parent Body to meet its tremendous obligations entered into to make you the divisions, branches and chapters and to make the world movement.
Send In Your Support
Send in your financial monthly reports and your help immediately to the Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be

THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY
The recent trial of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his conviction continue to be the daily topic of conversation throughout the Harlem district. The three fruitless attempts made by Mr. Garvey and his lawyers to secure ball pending his appeal are being discussed from every angle, and on all sides surprise, and indignation are being voiced over the action of the authorities in denying bail. This settlement crystallised on Sunday afternoon at a monster meeting held at four o'clock at Liberty Hall, 120 W. 128th Street, New York City, when two thousand persons, members of the organisation and non-members, the latter stung into activity by the events of the past few weeks, assembled to give their projects concrete expression.
It was decided by unanimous vote and a petition to the President of the United States acting as the acting president to be made into the and the subsequent actions prosecutor.

B., M. S., C. E., Private Secretary; Prof. D. E. Tobias, Hons. G. I. O. Marke, Rudolph Smith, J. O'Meally, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, and P. L. Burrows, Rev. G. Emonel Carter, First Vice-President of the New York Local; Messrs. Alonzo Pettiford, President of Detroit Division, I. E. Morter of Bellize, and H. V. Plummer, Mrs. Sharperson-Young and Misa-Agatha Cook.
An Unique Demonstration
The meeting was a unique demonstration of the unswerving loyalty of U. N. I. A. members to their great leader and of the remarkable growth of favorable sentiment toward the movement among Negroes, who, until recently, took no active part in the affairs of the organization. The meeting was actively and enthusiastically with the enthusiasm of an abiding faith. There were times when the proceedings took on a fervor which betokened a set determination and a depth of feeling. As the chairman announced the singing of the hymn, "God Bless Our President," a woman's solis broke in upon the meeting from the back of the hall, and the lines of the hymn, the gift of their composer, Prof. Arnold J. Ford, to the 1922 Convention of Negro peoples, of the world, took on a deeper meaning than usual. Many eyes filled with tears as these two verses were sung:
"The tyrants" wiles shall never
"Our homes asunder rent;
The Red, Black and Green forever,
God bless our President.
Guide him through life victorious.
Save him from accident.
Grant him his alms most glorious,
God bless our President."
The proceedings were opened with
the singing of the missionary hymn,
"From Greenland's Ice Mountain,
followed by the recital of a prayer by
the chairman. Led by the choir,
under the direction of Prof. Ford,
musical director," God Bless Our
President" was then rendered. The
chairman made his opening remarks,
and before the other speakers, Hona
R. L. Poston, Prince Ishi Van Dova,
Prof. D. E. Tobias, and Rev. G. E.
Carter, followed, the hymn "Shine On,
Eternal Light," was sung.
At the close of the meeting all the members of the audience signed their names to copies of the petition. It is understood that inetceedings are also being held in every State in the Union
For the purpose of having similar petitions, properly signed, sent to the Chief Executive at Washington.
The Petition
Following is the full text of the petition, the adoption of which was moved by Mr. Paston and seconded by Mr. Carter:
"PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR JUSTICE
"Let Justice Be Dona Though the Heavens Pell"
"Re: Case of Hon. Marous Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Under Section 215 of the U. S. Postal Laws.
"Convicted Through Prejudice on the Prosecution of Mr. Maxwell S. Mattuck, Assistant District Attorney of the Southern District of New York, and Tried Before His Honor, Hon. Julian Mack, and Denied Bail on Appeal Through Further Persecution of Said Assistant District Attorney."
"THE FACTS
"His Excellency, Hon. Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, Washington, D. C.
"Honorable and Dear Sir: We, the undersigned petitioners, citizens and residents of the United States, beg to draw to Your Excellency's attention the following statements of injustice inflicted upon a fellow member and leader of the Negro race in the name of the great government of our country:
"Marcus Garvey (President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization of over six million members, scattered all over the world, with approximately two million five hundred thousand in these United States, and President of the Black Star Line, a Negro steamship corporation), through the machinations of political and organization enemies within and without the race, was Indicted under Section 215 of the Postal Laws, namely, conspiracy to use the malia to defraud. This we commonly, jointly, separately and distinctly believe to be a frame-up charge against the said Marcus Garvey by his enamles.
"For years (because of his success in organising the Negro race, more than any other Negro had done) plets were laid through his enemies by which he could be discredited in his work of Race unlift.
"The effort of the Black Star Line was but an auxiliary movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the industrial advancement of the race. In fact, the Black Star Line bore a relationship to the Universal Negro Improvement Association such as the Shipping Board bears to our great Government. The project of the Black Star Line was engaged in during the period of the war, when shipping was high. Unfortunately, the promoters, one of whom was Mr. Garvey, fell into the hands of white and colored commercial sharks, who advised and represented them. With enemies operating against Mr. Garvey as leader of the greatest Negro Movement in the world, and sharpers seeking to exploit the Corporation of the Black Star Line, and with employees edged on to disdainly and dishonesty inside the Corporation, without the Corporation being able to get proper redress before the law, a state of failure was forced upon the Black Star Line, and all for the purpose of discrediting the subject of their enmity.
"For the good of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for the good of the Black Star Line Mr. Garvey undertook a trip to the West Indies and Central America in February of 1921 to represent the interests of the concern for about six weeks. His encounters then seized upon the opportunity of further exploiting the Black Star Line through disloyal officers and employees, to the extent that $25,000 was taken from the Corporation's treasury in May of 1921 to purchase a ship from the United States Shipping Board for the Black Star Line. A Jewish gentleman in New York by the name of Silverstone got the money, representing himself as a broker. He made contracts with the Black Star Line through its Vice President to secure for the Company a ship in May of 1921. He failed to do so. He never lodged the $25,000 with the Shipping Board, as he promised to do. He kept and spent the money himself.
"When Mr. Garvey made efforts to return to America from the West Indies and Central American after the expiration of his six weeks' stay he was debarred from securing a vise for his passport at all points. His enemies had planned to ruin the corporation in his absence, debar him from returning to the country and then discredit him before the eyes of the world. For such reasons false representations were made against Mr. Garvey by his Negro enemies to the Department of Justice, the State and Immigration departments, believing which, no doubt, the departments originally acted against Mr. Garvey, on the matter of his return to the country.
"Through the higher senate of Justice, however, of the State Department, Mr. Garvey, after much trouble and difficulty, was permitted to re-enter the United States. He arrived in New York from New Orleans on the 14th of July, 1927.
He was led to believe whilst in the
Garvey's Message to The People Sets Out His Abiding Faith
I have been informed of your effort on my behalf, that of holding a protest meeting to draw to the attention of the public of our great country the injustice that has been done me in the name of our great government.
I appreciate very highly the step you have taken to arouse public opinion. I have an abiding faith in the justice of the people, and believe that when the truth is, brought home to them they will not be able to register their protest against any and all acts of injustice.
I need not repeat that I have been "framed up" and sacrificed because of prejudice and the political and organization designs of my enemies. I believe that when my cause is properly presented to the higher and responsible officials of our government they will see that justice is done, and that they will not hesitate in, upholding the sacred principles of the Constitution. America is founded upon truth, liberty and justice, and these, I feel sure, will not be denied the lowest of her citizens.
I desire that you be peace- Inl and loyal in your assembly and that you be mindful of the fact that I am always willing to suffer for the cause of my race and the general uplift of humanity. Be cheerful, be loyal, be firm, be men, is the prayer of your humble and obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association.
West Indies and Central America that the particular ship to be secured had been actually bought. He was surprised on his return to find that his belief was unfounded.
"Being President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a big international movement, and being invaillably away from headquarters for so long, and owing to the fact that the 18th August of the said year was the opening of the second international convention of the Negro peoples of the world, in session for the entire month, day and night, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and over which he had to preside continuously as speaker, lie was forced to accept the excuses of the Vice-President of the Black Star Lino Corporation for the delay in the delivery of said ship.
"Positive assurances were made to him as late as December of 1921 that the boat would be forthcoming, but as he discovered by inquiries from the Shipping Board through correspondence and otherwise that the money which should have been lodged since May was not wholly or substantially or partly lodged until December, and then $11,000 more of the Black Star Line's assets was pledged as an additional amount realized through the said Black Star Line by the said Silverstone, with the knowledge of the Vice-President, and said amount used to cover up and add to a smaller partial judgment with the Shipping Board, as to further deceive Mr. Garvey after he had started his investigation to trace the original $25,000 of the Black Star Line funds.
"During the process of this investigation he was indicted on the charge herein complained of and on which he has been convicted through frame-up and prejudice.
"We hereby beg to bring to the attention of Your Excellency that during the trial of Marcus Garvey and the other defendant officers of the corporation, namely, the Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, it was plainly visible that the prosecutor was maliciously arrayed against Garvey. The burden of his entire venom was leveled at Garvey, and he practically, during examination and summation, defended the Vice-President, even though, the acts of the man were laid plain and open before the court; as the minutes will prove.
"The conviction of Garvey through the efforts of his enemies, in combination and through prejudice, to us is a blot on the fair record of our great Government, and is especially so because he has been denied the constitutional right of bail pending appeal.
"The facts that the belief prevails that the protection has good manufactured evidence in prosecuting the case and in opposing hall for Carvey is reason for us, your petitionism, to request the interest of Your Excellency in the case and to pray that Your Excellency
will cause an immediate investigation to be made into the entire trial and subsequent movements on the part of the prosecutor, so as to have the mind of our great Government from what is fast becoming an international scandal and the facts of which have surprised the Negro people of the world. "We solemnly and humbly pray that Your Excellency will take cognisance of this petition for justice.
"Marcus Garvey is honored and revered by millions of well-thinking Negroes in this country and all over the world, and we feel keenly the humiliation that has been humped upon him by his enemies, which humiliation has affected terribly the entire Negro race.
"We, your humble petitioners, love our country, and we trust that no such act as denying Marcus Garvey ball pending an appeal, a consideration that is granted even one accused of second degree murder, will be permitted to stand, and cause us, who have served her in peace and war, to doubt her fair play even to the humblest of her citizens.
"We beg to remain.
"Your Excellency's humble petitioners."
THE SPEECHES
Making the initial address, the chairman said: "It is indeed a pleasure to welcome here this evening not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association but friends of and sympathizers with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and some who have been stirred with indignation on account of the many embarrassing situations through which the U. N. I. A. has passed in the last three weeks and is passing through at the present time. We have staged here this afternoon this monster, protest meeting for the Hon. Marcus Garvey not only on account of his having been the victim of a net to get him that has been drawing closer and closer for the last seven or eight months, but because, after being convicted, the same man has been denied ball, even pending his appeal. Now, murderers get ball. Thieves get ball." (Cries of "Yes.") "Burglaries and highway robbers get ball. And Marcus Garvey is neither one, and yet he is denied ball. We do not feel that if Marcus Garvey was guilty, and he is not, but if he was, we do not feel that it is justice to the man first, then we do not feel that it is justice to the great organization of which he is the leader that he should without any reasonable ground be denied ball at this time.
"There are many lame excuses given for this denial of ball, but we know it is only a part of the program that has been well laid by the opposing forces. We do not feel that the United States government, as a government, has maliciously and wickedly convolved and schemed to place Marcus Garvey behind the bars. We do not believe that the United States government has wickedly connived and schemed to prohibit Marcus Garvey from getting ball, for we do not believe that the United States government is capable of stooping to those depths." (Cries of "No.") "We feel that America, being a country founded upon justice and liberty and equality, we feel that America, to which persons come from all parts of the world seeking larger liberty and greater independence; we feel that America, that is known for its fairness and its justice to all seeking shelter under the colors of the red, white and blue, is above wickedly and maliciously, through any selfish prejudice on its part, stooping so low as to do injustice to one who happens to be a part of its government. But we do believe that there are some individuals who, perhaps, sometimes may represent the government, that may allow themselves to be used by agents or agencies for the purpose of misrearing Justice. And somehow or other we are led to believe this has been the case in Marcus Garvey's instance." (Loud cries of "Yes")
"We have here this afternoon not only members and representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but we have in this audience Negroes who are not members of this organization, but Negroes who have been touched on account of the injustices to this man to the extent that they have come here to lend their voices and their sympathy to this protest meeting. And not only in the audience but on the platform we have men who have been invited and some who have offered their services, who are not members of this organization, but who feel that not only has an injustice been done to Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association but that an injustice has been done to the race of which Marcus Garvey is a part." (Applause.)
The Hon. R. L. Poston was the next speaker. When five years ago the Hon. Marcus Garvey founded the U. N. I. A., he said, nobody bothered to criticize, for the same reason that a child escapes criticism. But as the organization grew, and as in the West Indies, in South and Central America, in Africa, and in this country Negroes were forced to take a different attitude of life, and as Marcus Garvey's slogan of "What white men have done black men can do also" became the slogan of the world of Negroes, the people who held Negroes in subjection in Africa and in other parts of the world began to become uneasy.
"I am sorry," he continued, "for the part that this great government of ours has innocently played in this scheme. I am sorry that France and England and other designing nations

GENERAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Without Prejudice, This Is to Inform One and All That
Is No Longer Officially Connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association All persons to whom Mr. Garcia has issued construction loan bonds or receipts or conversed with for the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to communicate at once with Complaint Department, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York.
SPECIAL PARENT BODY NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS AND CHAPTERS EVERYWHERE
To the Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association:
It has come to our notice that since the incarceration of the President-General a few designing officers and members are trying to create strife in the divisions in order that they may put over the things that they could not put over when the President-General was actively in harness.
As loyal members of the association we are calling upon you to discredit such individuals wherever they show their heads. Inform us of their activities and they shall be expelled from the association. We are firmly resolved to keep inviolable the principles and aims of this great organization of ours and will do all and everything to continue the work as if the President-General was not temporarily deprived of his liberty. We desire to affirm that Marcus Garvey will remain President of the U. N. I. A. so long as he lives.
His opinion is more respected today than ever by the four hundred million Negroes of the world., and when these plotters attempt to embarrass the Committee which he has left to carry on the work during his temporary absence they are enemies to the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the great movement he has founded.
This warning comes from the Committee of Management as appointed by the President-General to "carry on" in his absence and we propose to "carry on" in spite of the few designing persons within and without the organization, who are wolves in sheep's clothing. These particular busy-bodies are active in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for reasons very clear. Put them down as the enemies they are and "press on" in the fight for a free and redeemed Africa.
Beware of them! Keep us informed of their activities.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
W. H. SHERRILL, 2nd Asst. President-General.
C. S. BOURNE, Chancellor,
ROBERT L. POSTON, Secretary-General.
New York, July 2, 1923.
have brought about this situation. I love my country. I was born and reared here, and I have fought for it. I don't believe that this country would wilfully enter into the scheme that has been fashioned to wreck this man and to attempt to wreck the aspirations and the ambitions of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. This country does not hold anything in Africa. This country has nothing to lose should the U. N. I. A. succeed. But France, who has more subjects in Africa, than she has in France, Great Britain, who rules more colored people that she rules white, they are the ones who are instrumental in bringing about this thing, and this government is but an innocent party to it.
"They speak about the Black Star Line. Why, the Black Star Line is not the thing to be considered. In the program of the U. N. L. A. the Black Star Line is but an incident. It is the spirit which says that we will no longer be slaves. It is that spirit which says that we are men, and as men we must live or die. (Applause.) That is the thing that the world is aim-
ing at. The Black Star Line is but a subterfuge. In the court, unfortunately, the truth was kept out, but the truth will be known as God is in His heaven. (Applause.) Let them not think for a minute they can kill the Universal Negro Improvement Association by imprisoning our leader. (Cries of "Never.") Did they kill the Indian movement by imprisoning Gandhi? Can the fear of prison stop De Valera? Did it stop Lenine and Trotzky? Does it ever stop those whose souls are freed with a desire for freedom—and with a desire for liberty? And that is why I feel safe in saying to you tonight that in less than three months we will double the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world." (Loud and prolonged applause.)
The Real Prosecutors
The speaker then went on to say that the stockholders of the Black Star Line were innocent of the prosecution of Marcus Garvey. Those behind the prosecution were the N. A. A. C. P., "the National Association for the Advancement of Certain Colored People."

As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been fornd guilty by
a jury of white then of using’the United States mails to defraud.
+ Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey

An appeal niust be taken to the highest courts of the land te

'N its issae of June 23 last the Pittsburgh American carries « striking
] cartoon of star-gazing Negro leaders-pulling against each other and
drawing the race apart by their envious and arrogant struggle for
supremacy and the best place in the sui, Creating nothing, supporting
nothing racial with anything but talk, the pull-operators of the Negro
race in America devote all their thought, energy and sinister influence
to impede the progress of the race by hindering those sacrificing their
Eves in’ service. 5 ‘
Under this caption. ‘the cartoonist tells the story of most Negro
troubles in, America today. They will'not pull together, but pul against
each oitier. They are star gazers, with theig, feet planted firmly on
carth, who persist with all their might in pulling the race apart; they
ate engaged in.a hopeless struggle to get.power. They are holding their
entire race up to the ridicule of the world, Who shall be the greatest ?
‘This is a question worrying more Negro “leaders” than that_ other
‘important question, Who shall work hardest and conteibute most to the
permanent advaricement of the race? : 7s
“+” Ne‘one can observe the daily life of the Negroes in. America with-
‘ont nibticing the great difference ‘betweeri the aspirations, ambitions’ and
habits of corresponding classes in any town or city. There is the indi-
‘vidual “rich” Negro, who freezes to his money and never contributes to
wattything racial. The “social” high-brow, who lives up to his/last dole
trying to invitate rich white Americans, is familiar to everybody: There

| Woe unto the individyal who is trying to.do the same thing and happens
to get in their path: Tht moment their ambitions enflict, then the pull
in the race begins: . They question each other's honor: One lies about
the other. Knowing that hatred and suspicion are useful in destroying

‘the problem of Negroes in America is economic and thecroad to self-help
and power fies along the path of organized’ production rather than
organized consumption. her
Negroes in America are at the fork of three roads. The roads are
so plainly marked that anyone with’ the simplest intelligence can see.
The masses have become wearyof “leaders” who devote their lives to
solving problems by ‘talk without constructive aim and work. ‘The
average Negro is no Jonger the fool some “leaders” believe he is, He
knows-that? the struggle-of these “leaders” for power-is “futile-and
has been carried on through ail the years ata fcariul cost—a struggle
that begins and ends in petty jealousy, envy and arrogance. The great
body- of Negroes in this countsy is sick and tired’vf this program. They
are irritabie, suspicious and have ‘made up their minds that the pull
operators assuming to be “leaders” are the worst enemies of the race
in.this country: This‘explains the revolution against present-day leader-
ship, and, we may add, gives the reason for the success of the Universal

NOTICE
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President-General and Founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and because of my inability to actively continue my administration of the affairs of the Association through my imprisonment, I hereby notify you that I have named and appointed the following persons to officiate as the Executive Committee of Management of the Association until its next International Convention, when the proper election and appointments will take place:
ROBERT L. POSTON, Secretary-General.
The above mentioned persons shall, with the advice and instructions I can give during my absence, jointly direct the affairs of the organization, and I ask for them jointly the consideration of all Divisions, Chapters, Branches and Members.
With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be.
Your obedient servant,
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
The case against the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Bile Garcia and George Tobias of the Black Star Line for alleged misuse of the United States mails will be called some time this month in New York. For quite a while exaggerated of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey.
Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organised opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!" All this is being done to defeat the hopes of our race through the only real Negro movement started in the interest of the race.
The fight for African freedom is eternal and you must support it now by supporting the greatest leader of the race. Send in your subscription to this fund immediately. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in the columns of this paper.
The case will be reported day by day in the Daily Negro Times and weekly in this paper for universal circulation. Send all subscriptions addressed to Secretary-Generals, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York city,

An Appeal for Sincerity
To the Officers and Members of The Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Friends of Our Leader, the Honorable Marcus Garvey:
We appeal to and urge you to keep concrete faith with your leader and your organization at this time, more so than ever. We are going through a crisis now that will test your loyalty to the very core. There is and probably will be lots of rumors going around that may, if you give them any consideration, cause you to falter in your obligations; therefore, we do not want any officer or member to entertain any hearsay information whatsoever, because if you do and import it to some one else it will give us a deal of trouble at headquarters.
Always secure your information relative to your leader and movement direct from headquarters. If you do that you can not go wrong, as we are working night and day to carry on to the best of our ability until the one who guides our destiny is with us again. If anything should arise in your community that is detrimental to the good and welfare of you, we are the organization ever known to Negroes the world over, be no part of the desist, so let those of you who are sincere and honest work toward the accomplishment of the ideals for which our father, the Honorable Matteo Garvey, holds dearest to his heart. We are all in great sympathy with him. We wish we could be with him to cheer him on, for we miss him so, but if you have faith in your faith, in your leadership, in your race, and faith in yourselves we ask that you be answered. All we ask of you is to be a woman in every sense of the word and carry out this appeal to the letter, and we will be more than thankful to you all. (Signed) H. G. S.

The usual mass meeting of the U. N. I. A. of the Port Limon Division No. 110. was called to order by E. S. Hart, the first vice-president, on Tuesday night, May 15, at 7:30 p. m., by the singing of the usual opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," with prayer following.
Owing to the paucity of attendance the vice-president was bound to give an opening address before the reading of the minutes which was not customary.
E. S. Hart, first vice-president, in his clear, and lucid style, extended a cordial welcome to all present, but was very much disappointed, he said, in meeting such a small gathering. It appears to him, said the speaker, in continuing, that some of our people do not yet realize the importance of the organization. He next assured his audience, the specific purpose that we are congregating for from time to time, also the benefit that will accrue from it, through our determination in adhering closely to this grand and noble movement. We should show more dedication to this position.
votion towards this association, for the principles laid down by the Hon. Marcus Garvey is a righteous one, which, without doubt, of successful contradiction, will uplift this downtrodden race of ours. The vice-president showered congratulations on the small audience for our presence and for the spirit that has been manifested by us in keeping the doors opened, knowing that it is a duty incumbent on us to be present. Since this movement is the only hope of our salvation, said Mr. Hart, we should be more alert at this crucial moment, for we have had a great task before us, we should be more serious as the other races are serious of any propositions that is being sponsored by them. We should link together, said the vice-president in conclusion, with one consolidated, and our results would be a stupendous one.
The minutes of last meeting were read and adopted. S. L. Gordon, the financial secretary, next read the president-general's speech from the Negro World which was greatly applauded. The first vice-president further exhorted his hearers to entertain fresh courage, and a new industrial hope, we can certainly get to Africa, and perform the same industrial pursuit as the white man. It is our intention to build a great government of our own in Africa, our forefathers' land, and who is required of us to achieve same is self determination. The speaker next referred to Japan who was not recognized in years ago, but through self-determination she is now regarded and respected by all the other powers of the world. Hence it is for us as new Negro to be induced with the same attitude in order to ascend us and our generation to come on a higher plant of life.
A solo was next rendered by Mrs. Madrina Williamson, which was greatly applauded.
The president, Dupetel T. Roberts, was the next speaker who greeted the audience. He was exceedingly pleased to be present, he said, but was displeased of the attendance here tonight. The active members should invite their friends to the hall, to get them indoctrinated with the movement, instead of keeping away for many of those who are outside, do not understand the aim and object of the U. N. L. A. After a brief reference to the president-general's speech on Africa, the president said the laudable Negroes of Limon referred to those of us who are active members of the association as nonentities, those of color-refused absolutely to link up, but he can assure us that in the near future seats will not be available to accommodate them in this spacious hall.
This movement is for the purpose of improving us along all lines and it is for us at this crucial moment, to cast in our lot, when our financial surroundings is in a sound condition, and when we have aspired to the zenith of success in forming a government of our own in Africa the
Scientist Produces an Invigorator
Cuasior to Gland Treatments—
Wonderful Power of a Bark.
From Africa
Have you lost your youth, vigor and
"pep"? Does life seem dull and work
a grind? Don't worry. Science has produced a new formula said to be superior even to the much discussed
gland treatments. Many men and women are now quickly and easily regaining health, vigor and vitality in the privacy of seem. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be a most remarkable Invigorator. Combined with it are other efficient tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In many cases the compound produces marked improve-ments. In hours, in a short time the vitality is fully restored. The nutrition improved and the glow of health is felt in every part.
The laboratories producing this new vitalizer; which is called Re-Blid-Tabs, co confident of its power that they offer to customers for only $1 and guarantee to refund the money if the remedy falls to give results in one week.
Any reader of this paper may test any of the laboratories, and money, but just your name and address to the Re-Blid Laboratories, 128 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full $1 treatment of Re-Blid-Tabs will be received only $1 and postage. If not delighted with the results, notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about this offer, as it is fully guaranteed.
other races, will respect us. The speaker reminded us of the stringent laws that is being enacted by the separate governments of the world where Negroes are demilitarized and should we not get busy and be alert we will be exterminated as the North American Indians were. He further reiterated the bad actions that pervades our people with regard to the move and inquired what is wrong with us, why will we not copy the example of the other races as a whole? We are not to copy the white man's style alone, but to copy his example commercially and industrially, and go no distant date we will be on the same level. God is not coming down from Heaven to help us out of our poor poverty state. The patriarchs of old were all rich men. God never made us to be poverty-striken. He wanted us to distract from our minds, said the president, the sayings that has been entertained by us, that we were not born to be a better people. We are to improve ourselves politically as well as religiously. Christ said to His Disciples, "Love ye one another," and such example we are to follow, and not to think that the ministers can save us with the wine. Such is only for the purpose of extorting our earnings. It is for us as new Negroes to resolve at this juncture to realize what the U. N. I. A. stands out boldly for, we are not to stop to listen to the undesirables who are trying to thwart the gain and object of this grand and noble movement.
The president, in conclusion, gave thanks to his audience for their patient hearing.
Mr. B. Pickering, in a brief speech, said he was pleased to meet his people in this, unfinished Liberty Hall. There are three words that is hampering the situation—if, but, and perhaps—and these words crush everything when attention is being paid to them. Should we want to rush this movement, to go ahead, we need to do away with if, but, and perhaps. Mr. Pickering assures us in conclusion that Mr Garvey in launching out did not think of ifs and buts and neither did Columbus. We are to say that we must, and that will burn with candle light.
Mrs. Mabel Williams, the third lady vice-president, next entertained the house, with a beautiful solo. Mrs. Williams was greatly applauded for her melodious voice.
Mr. S. L. Gordon, the financial secretary, next greeted his audience and introduced the third reading of the sick benefit concession to the house, which met the approval of all present. The president in his closing speech said he was very much pleased to see that the concession was adopted with entire satisfaction by us. The U. N. J. A. is certain to improve our financially should we adhere to the fundamental principles therein. Mr. E. S. Hart, first vice-president, next gave thanks to his guidance for their attendance and hoped to niece a larger gathering at the next meeting. This brought the meeting to a close at 10 o'clock by the dinging of the Ethiopian anthem. Dam, for special uplift.

Today the U. N. I. A., or rather some of the leading men of the U. N. I. A. ex-leaders and present leaders are being put to the test. No organization, society or people is worthwhile if they cannot withstand the test of time. As an individual I am glad that this case is in action.
. If the Hon. Mr. Garvey, the leader of this organization, is any way in fault wilfully, mistakenly, carelessly or otherwise, he is called by the laws of the U. S. A. to give an account of his stewardship.
The business section of this society known as the Black Star Line has the laws of the U. S. A. behind it, to protect the people who invest therein. Up to now we have read in the papera u the prosecution—just one side of the story; our noble, honest and upright leaders will have to put up their defense to show their innocence to the entire world. About two months ago I asked through the medium of this paper that the financial standing of the organization be told me. (I was glad, Mr. Editor, you published my letter, as many such, letters have been turned down time and again.) Up to now one has given me any light on the matter. One kind brother tried to say "all was well with his division," he being president. I know better than that. I know the brother is talking against his conviction, and if not go, then he is not wise.
All of us cannot see alike in this world; the more hawking out "all is well" will not suit everybody. There are those of us who want to know in detail, and the man who does not want to know the details of his business is a fool.
Why should I stand aside and think and believe things are going wrong without asking at the head?
Why should I believe the leaders of this organization are off the track without questioning them? Would I not be a fool? Surely, the answer is yes. Why should I believe everything is going good without questioning our leaders? Would I not be equally ignorant?
Follow Negroes, it never rains but it pours. This is no time to leave our organization. The leaders must stand or fall. If we in the past have been trusting incompetent or untrustworthy leaders the test is on; let us stick to our association and see fairly the result. There are those of us that have our opinions rightly or wrongly; let us keep to our post. If our leaders prove themselves worthy keep them; if they do not dump them in hell and go forward. Every nation does this and we won't be singular.
The fight is on, and I say again I am glad no weeping nor bawling will save the situation. As members of this noble cause we have entrusted our business in the hands of the best men or the men we believed best. Let us bear from them their reports; let us see the books they have been keeping. Let us find out the interced these, our new Negroes, took in the job they have been doing.
We are expecting our chosen leader will so show up to the world at large that we shall have reason to be proud of them. If there was a time when the Negro should show to the world his true manliness it is now. If there was a time the Negro should show to the world his noble capability to lead it is now.
When this case is through we will have no need to believe the financial standing of the Black Star Line, for the court will demand it in detail. Then, I trust, the financial standing of the U. N. L. A. on the whole will be told the members.

Division 194 is still gently moving on account of its bad management recently our noble division went flat, and now we are fighting to resuscitate the division. During our last administration it went so well that for six weeks we could only get six members present at the meetings, but since the changing of administration we are waking up. May God in His infinite mercy aid Santiago Division. It would appear that our officers only accepted office for personal aims and they proved a failure to the people, and should the people change them or ask them to satisfy the people better, they become the most murderous enemies to the division. With the exception of one, all others have shown themselves. It is true that many of the divisions in Cuba have been smushed up, nevertheless, they were not all caused by despotic management; some are from the absence of a high commissioner to assist us. We certainly have some faithful, trust-hearted members, who really will go with this movement, but we also have some cruel propagandists who are working with might and main to overthrow our division by their wicked counsel to our members and unrolled members of their race. Then there are such cruel chemical feelings existing between them that makes every good thing impossible. On the whole, our English Negroes on this side are built up of nothing but malice and vindictiveness. From such, good Lord, deliver us. It is true, to become enemy to your best friend is to tell him or her the truth of their faults, but what can we do? Must we go on like, that knowing we are made of one blood and form one race? Then, what will the other races say of us? Do not the, other races have their pride? Were not we made in God’s own image and likeness? Then, how is it that we should

not drive for our social betterment?
Why is it that we should not unknowingly make free our motherland, Africa when it's an undoubted fact that it is the land of the Negroes? Even now none of the strong and might governments of the world have told us or can tell us that Africa is not ours, but because they predominated the world and because of the great riches that Africa possesses the dominating powers will not let loose our country to us. Nevertheless, fellow workers of this, my noble race, we had not called for Africa and were refused. We are now organising in one body to show to the world that we are a recognized race made by God as the others and that, according to the Scripture teachings, civilized England, Germany, America and all other great powers, and handed down to us by John Wielif, and William Tindal and others, that Ethiopia is the land for the Negroes. And we, therefore, need it now. They have been exploiting it and telling our older parents they were taking care of it. Now, we can take care of ourselves and our property and be your friends as others, so that peace and unity will rule the world as was expected by God. May I ask where are these great men, the Archbishops of England, Germany, America and the Pope of Rome and his bishops, who taught the civilized world the Bible, and they who claim to be the head of the apostles of God, cannot or will not they show to the heads of their countries that the Negro's cause is a righteous one and advise their kings and emperors to give the Negroes what is theirs? This, and only this, will bring scream peace to the world and the souls of men.

CAPT. GAINES' BRILLIANT WORK IN PITTSBURGH
CAPT. GAINES' BRILLIANT WORK IN PITTSBURGH
The Pittsburgh local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was fortunate to have with them the Right Honorable Captain E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions and Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. N. L. A. The captain was welcomed by all the members of the association in and around Pittsburgh on Sunday, May 6. His mission to Pittsburgh will always be remembered by the members and the community at large for the work performed by him.
We are, not going to compare the captain with Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, nor Lincoln. Emerson was a poet, philosopher, essayist and lecturer. Washington is called the father of our country. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln is considered the Emancipator.
We are of the opinion that the captain, although retaining an originality, still has a combination of virtues that he is not conscious of. The cross between knowledge and conduct.
The captain's mission to Pittsburgh was that of solidifying the various locals of the association, so as to form an organization, both in letter and spirit.
To accomplish a job of that nature seems to be very easy from the point of theory, but, on the other hand, it meant sound judgment, common sense, reason, and the kind of maternal on hand for disposal.
The mere foot that he had accomplished his aim showed that he had at his hand nearly all of those factors. On May 14 a special business meeting was called, and the various locals assembled at Liberty Hall, Caldwell avenue and Miller street, Pittsburgh, for the purpose of consolidation.
The Honorable George A. Wenton, president of the local, tendered his resignation, which was accepted. The captain then declared all, other officers vacant, and after going through other business formalities proceeded to the selection and appointment of new officers.
That selflessness caused by the desire of official positions, which was always detrimental to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and all other organizations with lofty ideals, was, to a great extent, dissolved at this meeting, and the spirit of unity was seen.
Mr. James Gill, of Henon Hill by-ln, in surrendering the charter to the accredited representative of the parent body, Captain E. L. Gaines, stated that he was conscious of the fact that the charter was the property of the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who is the creator of the various locals.
If the parent body thought that by its present action it would bring better results for the future, "It was not for him to ask the reason why, but for him to do or die." The captain then rose, and with a seriousness that could be seen by every
one, said that the author of *JH. Gill* was compendible, and that if the spirit could be caught universally the alms and objects as written in the constitution could be erased, as that is the true spirit of the association.
The charters of the Garvey Club No. 74 and the North Side Local Were also surrendered without any friction, but with joy and friendship.

Logan of the Chicago local, for the good work performed by them in the city of Pittsburgh. Before the banquet the usual meeting of the local was held and a farewell address was given, by the Hon. Geo. A. Weston, who is now president of the Cleveland local. Mr. J. L. Logan also spoke.
Mr. Weston in his address said that he was only trying to make a farewell address, but in fact he was not himself that night. It was a very peculiar occasion for him, and anyone else would have felt the same.
But on the other hand, said the speaker, he was thankful for one thing, and that was the sincere desire of the majority of the members in Pittsburgh to decide on what he had often advocated, "a united front". He said that he had promised to use all the power at his command to get the desired result, but just as he was thinking of giving up hope, the strong man of the association came in just in time and said, "Son, you have done well; your objection is good. My help is at your service. We will put it over." And so he did.
His wish was that the good spirit will continue in Pittsburgh.
Mr. J. L. Logan said that his desire was to see the U. N. L. A. go over the top, and that was the chief reason why he made it a point of duty to visit all the locals in and around Pittsburgh, giving all the aid he could give to the cause.
The captain gave a spirited address. His subtitle was "The Fallacy of Astronomical Science," which he handled with great skill, puncturing many of the theories set forth by scientists pertaining to the heliophenology.
He did not clap without touching upon the economic framework of the success of the race divided into two compartments, namely, demand and supply, showing how important it is for the Negro race to play some part in the world's supply, not only in producing some but, to some extent, to be able to control some.
The horse is able to help pollution by ploughing the soil but that did not remove the fact that after the gots are produced he cannot get a quart of those come gots to cat except it is given to him, because he cannot control what he has helped to produce. The captain paid glowing tribute to the officers and members of the local for the lavish display of more things that was laid on the table, and said that he appreciated very much the kindness shown.
Mr. Weston, after receiving a sword given by the East End and Pittsburgh locals, thikened them very much for their kindness, and said with other things that he hoped the redeployment of Africa will be realized, and that the sword he used only when other means have limit 1.
The meetings on the whole were very good and brought to our recollection those lines of Rudyard Kipling: "It ain't the guns nor armament, nor
funds that they can pay.
But the close co-operation that makes
them win the day;
It ain't the individual, nor the army;
as a whole.
But the everlastin' team-work of every bloomin' soul."

In the capital of French Guinea, Conakry, the French Government shot over twelve Negro women on a charge of sorcery, claiming that these women were vampires, and that they changed themselves into tigers, etc. at night. In the same town a white woman shot to death a Negro boy, and only a fine of 50 francs was imposed upon her. There was also a case reported where a Syrian woman shot a Negro butcher, and only a nominal fine was imposed upon itier. In Dahoney the Negroes ravelled and killed four of the administrators and from the latest reports, the French Government is now rushing over companies of Benengnine troops to fight against their colored brothers.

Wells asegura que es inutil que Inglaterra intente defenderse de las incursiones aéreas mediante la creación de poderosos fletos, pués ni olla ni ningun país de la tierra está libre de seria amenazada de un ataque dereo, sea cual fuere los medios que adopte.
Lucha Por un Puesto Adecuado Para Nuestra Raza en una Mundo de Intrigas Raciales—Enfuertos Para Adquirir Ocupación Digna—Sacrificios de Grandes Hombres de Otras Razas—El Cristo No Fue Humillado Apesar de Que los Judios le Comparaban Con Barrabás—El Alma de los Verdaderos Hombres No Podrá Sér Nunca Humillada
No hay mejor manera de defenderse que es atacar, prosiguió diciendo Wells y la lucha futura no se planteará de defensa sino de ataque. En las guerras del porvenir una sola bomba bastará para destruir ciudades enteras y un bombardero aéreo acabaria con todo vestigio de vida y de civilización.
Nuestra raza ha pasado y esta pasando aun por el gran período de prueba. Se nos ha aplicado el torno cont toda la fuerza de que se haya podido disponer, para probar la clase de material de que somos hechos. La lucha se ha establecido entre las hordas maliciosas con deseo, de destruir la nueva ambición de la raza y aquellos de nosotros cuya visión es clara en la contienda por un puesto adecuado en el sol económico y político del universo.
Cuando la humanidad llegue a ese grado de perfección en el arte de guerrrear, la carrera de las armas será absurda, pues ni los guerreros, ni los ciudadanos pacíficos podrán sobrevivir. Por eso nos atrevemos a afirmar que la próxima conflagración convertirá la civilización actual en polvo.
El propósito de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no ha sido aun claramente interpretado por la multitud y vemos que un gran número de elementos de la raza intenta burlarse de la obra que ésta se esfuerza por realizar, rindiendo servicios de gran transcendencia no solamente a la actual generación sino que también a las generaciones venideras.
La estrategia de defensa es perfectamente inutil en la actualidad y el unico procedimiento razonable es la agresion; Inglaterra está realmente en un estado de indefension desde el punto de. vista aéreo y su unico recurso es responder a la agresión con la agresion.
Los declarados enemigos de nuestra organización, sin causa que les justifique para ello, una y otra vez han tratado de ridiculizar nuestra obra ante la opinión pública, con el objeto de crear prejuicios entre los elementos de la misma raza, en contra de todo esfuerzo hecho para su propio beneficio. Detrás de estas escenas vemos el interés de los capitalistas y de los explotadores cuyas garras oprimen al Africa y quienes ven por medio de esta organización, la posibilidad de ser dislocados en sus designios de explotar la tierra de nuestros antepasados y de arruinar para siempre las csperanzas de cuatrocientos millones de seres.
Existen actualmente en la Gran Bretagna un sinnúmero de estrategas miopes que viven en la creencia de que una podera rosa flota aerea seria suficiente para defender nuestro territorio nacional. Está certidumbre se derumbaria al más leve análisis militar y en la actualidad no existe una nación por podera rosa que sea en el aire, que pueda evitar las incursiones acreas de sus enemigos.
Wells reconoce que, la aviación será el medio de locomoción y transporte vulgar en el futuro y en este sentido apoya toda medida de gobieno que tienda a formentar su desarrollo.
La prensa opuesta viciosa y maliciosamente ha esparcido la noticia de la tal llamada convicción de nuestro honorable presidente. Tal convicción ha sido simple y exclusivamente el resultado de varios años de conspiración, para destruir nuestra esperanza de restituir a la raza sus antiguos dias de gloria. De dicha conspiración a surgido además la diseminación de centenares de nuestro elemento, quienes en vez de trabajar en común acuerdo por su propia causa, son individualmente las víctimas del prejuicio de los otros pueblos y de las otras razas.
Este célebre novelista e historiador inglés escribió hace venticinco años un libro intitulado La guerra de los mundos y en é predijo el uso de gases asfixiantes como medio de combate.
La Excepcion de la Regla
En la ciudad de Durham, Caroling del Norte, hay cerca de ocho nil personas de la raza que viven en terminos de paz y amistad con sus vecinos blancos. Varias fabricas de tabacos y de calqeteria conceden empleo permanente a grandes contingentes, hombres y mujeres de color, y se tiene cuidado de asegurar satisfactorias condiciones de trabajo y un nivel de vida decente. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, presidente de la Mutual Life Insurance Company, declara que el pueblo de Durham demuestra el deseo de hacer de la población negra una parte permanente y valiosa de su ciudadanía. No se les niega el voto por su color, y se han establecido oportunidades adecuadas para su educación. Nunca ha habido un linchamiento en Durham, dice Mr. Spaulding, y se concede a los hombres de color una atención honrada en los tribuales.
Dúrante el proceso del caso de este gobierno en contra del honorable Marcus Garvey, el Fiscal, judío por descendencia, se expresó en los términos siguientes: "Señores del jurado debemos permitir que este hombre vuelva al seno de la sociedad? Abriremos la puerta de la jaula para libertar al rigre?" Este Iscariote, en sus cargos, muy lejos de representar, el espíritu del gran gobierno americano, representó el espíritu de la violencia, el espíritu del capital, el espíritu de la malicia.
El gobierno americano no califica a ningun individuo como un tigre; el gobierno americano no teme a ninguna organización constituida. Vemos por consiguiente que dicho Fiscal no apelaba en nombre de este gran gobierno, sino que sus manifestaciones fueron influenciadas de antemano por aquellos que realmente temen al gran poder que el honorable Marcus Garvey y La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de, la Raza Negra puedan adquirir en el futuro.
Tal relación no cubre, por de contado, todos los hechos existentes-en otras partes del sur, pero se seguramente, que el ejemplo de Durhami debería ser seguido cuidadosamente por otras ciudades y regiones que se hallan ahora tan preocupadas por la emigración con dirección al norte. El problema es reconocidamente complicado. Tiene sus aspectos políticos y sus aspectos raciales. Pero, después de todo, es un problema humano, y la experiencia de Durhami indica el camino para resolverlo por procedimientos humanos. El Durham Morning Herald ha hecho una cosa utiliza publicando un comentario tan llamativo sobre el movimiento emigratorio que esta verificandose en toda la región del sur.
Suframos con resignación la humillación y los sacrificios de nuestro honorable presidente. Toda causa grande, toda causa noble ha tenido sus mártires y sus martirizadores. Dirección significa privación, sufrimientos y sacrificios. El grupo servil de los tal llamados directores de los-interces de la raza, quienes prestan mayoc atención a sus conveniencias y comodidades que a los servicios que ellos claman prestar a la raza, se sienten vanagloriados con la decisión del jurado, sin darse cuenta de que nuestra dirección continua su curso sin interrupción.
El resultado de tanta oposición en contra de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y de su honorable presidente en particular, ha sido una lección práctica para los quince millones de elementos de la raza en este país. Estos han podido ver claramente quienes son los verdaderos directores de nuestros destinos. El alma de todo ser conciente no pueder ser humillada. Cuando los judios crucificaron a Cristo, conceptuándole como la peor de las amenazas sociales, no consiguieron humillarle como fue su deseo; y como el Cristo todos los demas reformistas de todas las edades. Sus enemigos, inconcientemente, demostraron al mundo la nobleza de alma y de carácter de aquellos individuos.
Probable Presidente de Africa Se Sincera Ante los Jueces
El presidente provisional de la república africana. Marcus Garvey, comparecido ante los tribunales de justicia para responder de los carrgos que se le hacían de haber usado la correspondencia con fines fraudulentos.
El popular caudillo de color aseguró que era inocente del delito que se imputaba, y que todo obedecía a una trama de sus enemigos, que están envidiosos de sus exitos, pues ha llegado a reunir en una sola asociación millares de personas de abolengo africano—La Prensa, N. Y.
Esta organización se conceptua capaz de ejecutar y adquirir todo cuanto redunde beneficio para la raza en general y por medio del soporte de los cuatrocientos millones de seres que la constiyen, ella les elevara a un grado mas alto de adelanto. Vivimos aun en la época cuando los hijos a hijas de Etiopia se ven maltratados, pero ellos por medio de las evoluciones de la vida, no han de verte para siempre en tal estado 6 condición. De los cambios que entre las razas y las naciones se desarrollen, ha de surgir el reconocimiento de nuestra derecho; nuestra estrella ha de surgir del caos del pasado hacia el cielo de la verdad iluminando na nuevo imperio.
Aun para el hombre más desgraciado, para el que ha perdido el amor y la fe, hay siempre una relación indestructible: la de la tierra. Y, quién sabe si esea felicidad que le espera y que va de los cielos a la tierra, no ira más seguridad de
la siesta de la casa. De lo mismo se necesita un ambiente y de provision de plena, bien cuidado; y también y también se necesita un ambiente que respete la comida, que esté con los huesos de los hombros. Ojala que esta siesta, que, girando sin cesar, nos va descarrindendo las estrellas innumerables del firmamento, nos llevé algn día a otro punto del espacio donde brillen estrellas nuevas y nos illumina ideas más humanas; pero; mientras tanto, así como resisit el Padre Nuestro pasado pedir el de cada día, debía rezar también una nueva oración, la Madre Nuestra, para rogar a la tierra que nos recompense con los frutos de su seno inagable el esfuerzo de los que en ella trajan.

"THE CAUSE FOR WORLD'S UNREST"
BY HON. RUDOLPH SMITH
Third Assistant President General
Man in his physical makeup is a wonderful creation by God, and must be wonderfully well realized, by conscientious minds regarding his movement through life from the beginning to the present age. Just to imagine how they moved along according to their intuition and vocation from early life with the belief that they can accomplish great things, pushing forward despite obstacles, permeated through great supernatural forces, fighting to retain their highest ideals, while others fall by as weaklings and to imagine that they could ascend from the most crudest plans to the present inventive age, where the voices of people could be heard distract, though the thousands of miles apart, with the ocean just almost a pond; while our brothers fly between the elements like birds of the air, and
But God disliked the inhuman actions of His creation who is attempting to travel through space and interfere with something that mankind will never be able to fathom, even though the most improved machinaries may be brought into existence.
Such powers men will never secure, even though they live the most upright lives.
The existence of the celestial bodies is God's masterpiece of His creation over which He will not tolerate any interference.
God knows that the wiser men become the more they vary from His laws—the Ten Commandments—which is a recognized fact of the present age.
"Higher Developed Minds Less Humans."

"Higher Developed Minds Less Humans."
Such a thing as love is seemingly sinking into decadence, while man forever ascends the once-considered unattainable heights in seeking to gain continuous knowledge of the world and all that dwell within and without.

As man ellimb the heights, for knowledge his love for his brother declines, while certain strong desires prevail for knowledge that seemingly consume all his time; and while this knowledge sought create many imaginary beliefs, the most peculiar propaganda is applied with many false systems of education which produce hate, jealousy, lies and many other obnoxious evils that divide the human family into many groups according to each race group developed stage.
The more advanced men become in materialistic principles the less care and attention prevail for their weaker brothers' need, and, though the greater majority of suffering, humanity appeals for assistance from their progressive brothers who dwell in luxurious homes and enjoy every luxury that life affords, yet still the old world inhabitants keep moving along, each caring little or nothing about their brothers' needs.

all of these conditions having attired the oppressed members of the human family in seeking justice and the right to assert themselves in the spirit of self-determination, produced the non-co-operationist movement with Mahatma Gandhi as the Indian leader; Kemal Pausha for Turkey; Eamon De Valera for the Irish; Lenine and Trotsky for Russia; King Faud for Egypt; the Himalit movement for Palestine and the Jews; and Marcus Garvey of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Negroes of the world with the idea of redeeming Africa.
Should the nation get down to business and call these leaders in a world tribunal and get more acquainted with the sufferers of the human family, allowing these people to carve their own destiny. Not until then can we expect that long-destined peace, with a multitude of homes with every race in its own homeland, under its own vine and fig tree.

Are Dominating the World of Negroes—The Movement Has Become Part of the Negro's Soul and Cannot Die—In Spite of Imprisonment of Its Leader—Garvey Urges Members to Spend Their Time Working for the Program of an Emancipated Race
HIS TIME IS SPENT IN WORKING AND THINKING FOR THE MOVEMENT—BRILLIANT SPEECHES DELIVERED BY LADY DAVIS, HON. RUDOLPH SMITH AND HON. A. D. PETTIFORD—DETROIT DIVISION SENDS GREETINGS TO LIBERTY HALL—BIDS GOD-SPEED IN THE GREAT WORK AND IN DEFENCE BEING MADE FOR MARCUS GARVEY
LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, July 1.—More and more are interest and enthusiasm being manifested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and more and more is the name of the Hon. Marcus Garvey being honored, because of the fact that he has given to the Negroes of the world an organization which, because of the noble and lofty principles it advocates, has stimulated the hopes of a forlorn race and linked up together with a common purpose the millions of Negroes in the nethermost parts of the world. It is idle, therefore, to think that the removal of a leader, from the ranks of this organization will effect its destruction, because it has become part and parcel of the Negro's soul and will live on as long as the race itself exists.
The imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey has served to swell the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and night after night increasing crowds through Liberty Hall and demonstrate, both by their presence and their support, a determination to carry on the work and prove to the world that Negroes, like other people, are in the field for freedom and independence—a fight which will not be relinquished until the goal of a redeemed Africa has been reached.
Though obliterated from taking an active part in the work which he has fostered, Mr. Garvey's interest has not abated and his weekly message to the membership in Liberty Hall and through them to the world at large, imparts an inspiration which evidences itself in the plaudits which greet his message when read from the platform in Liberty Hall. His message tonight reads as follows:
"The Tombs Prison, Center Street.
"July 1, 1823.
"To the Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
"Ladies and Gentlemen:
"It affords me more than ordinary pleasure to send you a message of cheer at this time, when I am removed from your milat. I spend my time thinking about and working for you, and I do hope that you will spend yours working for the great program of an emancipated race and a redeemed Africa.
"You must not become discouraged or disappointed over what the enemies of our cause have done. What I am suffering is but part of the program before us. We are bound to win, because God is on our side. Our cause is just and righteous, and therefore we need not be afraid.
"You can help me best by supporting the work of the association, for I feel happy when I know that all is well. I must again warn you about accepting noise and lip service for gallantry, loyalty and devotion to our cause. It is not the noise one makes or the boast of the individual that proves service to a cause. It is honesty, sacrifice, devotion and loyalty that prove the mettle of which real leaders are made. You must look for and accept this, otherwise you will indeed be disappointed.
"I say, to you, cheer up! We have much work to do, and it must be done.
"With very best wishes.
"I have the honor to be
"Universal Negro Improvement Association."
The meeting was presided over by Hon. William L. Sherrilli, second assistant president general and leader of American Negroes. The speakers were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president general; Hon. Rudolph Smith, third assistant president general; Capt. C. E. Gaines, minister of legions, and the Hon. A. D. Pettiford, president of the Detroit division.
Following is the text of the speeches:
LADY DAVIS SPEAKS
Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was the first speaker, and said:
I am very pleased to have the privilege of speaking to you this evening, to register along with you my protest against the great injustice that has been done our leader. They have inorganized him, but they cannot imitate that grand soul; they may try to humiliate the body, but the soul must be in the other. And so it is with our warrior spirit. The length and depth of the world. They are protecting us we are protecting against the immigration of our great
leader; but though he is not here in body he is here in spirit; his thought shall ever guide' the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
We are glad to welcome you: thrice welcome you to the Liberty Hall dedicated to the liberties of all the people, and particularly to the liberties of the Negroes of the world. We appreciate the' privilege in this all-encompassing to hold these meetings; we appreciate having the privilege of free speech, although we have to pay for that speech sometimes with our lives; but we are going to continue to speak freely; we shall not, we will not, be intimidated.
They are not only seeking to destroy the leader of this great organization, but they are seeking to destroy the organization itself; but it can never be destroyed while the love of liberty remains in the Negro's heart (Applause). Our great leader is showing us an example of endurance; he is showing us how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong. He is just as strong today as he was a year ago, as he was five, years ago, when he declared unto the world that he had come to plant the Universal Negro Improvement Association, whose principles are transcendental; whose principles shall never die; whose principles are leading not only the Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but Negroes everywhere—Negroes 400,000,000 strong; Negroes in the United States of America; Negroes in the West Indies, Central and South America; Negroes in our fatherland of Africa are lifting in their voices tonight in union with ours in protest against the unjust incarceration of Marcus Garvey. (Applause.)
So, my friends, I am asking you to be of good courage and fear not. They want to strike fear into the heart; of the Negro; they want to make him a coward; but, thank God, the seed implanted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association as reported by its leaders has found good soul, and the Negro is no longer the crippling, syphantic coward, but we are rising in the full stature of manhood and womanhood and be refocused to have fear. When they broke the snuckles of slavery from our limbs we cast aside with our chains all fear and we are determined as free open and free women to step forth in our new liberty and say we shall forever be free. (Ap- clause.)
HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAK8
HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS
Hon. Rudolph Smith in a brief speech spoke of the universal right for freedom and self-determination which was prevailing at the present time in all parts of the world by the weaker peoples and nations who have formerly been dominated by others. Instances of this, he pointed out, could be found in Russia under the auspices of the Soviet government, in Ireland under the leadership of Eleanor De Valera in India by the non-cooperation movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi, in the redemption of Palestine by the Jews, in Egypt by the Egyptians setting themselves up as an independent government. All these, he said, indicated the trepid of the times—the idea of freedom and self-determination that was permeating the world, and, he added, God Almighty in the fulfillment of the prophecy that "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God" decreed that the Negro also shall join in the wake of freedom, and scouring the ocean and the land. He laid His hand upon and called a man—not a yellow man, not a white man, not a brown man—but He called a black man whom the world could not mistake for anything but a black man, because he wanted to let the world know there was something good in the color of black. That man He called in the person of Hon. Marcus Garvey. People said, Garvey is a dreamer, but it is a dream worth while which could bring together Negroes in all parts of the world; and to Garvey he would say, "Dream on until Africa is redeemed." He prayed that God in His infinite majesty would cause the race to realize the greatness of Marcus Garvey, and the nations of the world to respect the color of black.
CAPT. GAINES SPEAKS
Capt. C. E. Galen said he did not have much to say except to ignore the members to keep up the fight. "We have only reached the first line tracheon," he said, "and we are going up against the second line tracheon."
and then we must prepare ourselves to go against the third line trenches, because we do not know how to retreat. There is no retreating in the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association scattered the world over. Any man who thinks we are going to retreat has another thought coming. We do not mean to leave our position; we are going to stay with the ship. There are lots of things that are seemingly in our way at the present-time to keep the old ship from sailing smoothly, on, but we are prepared to sail in storm as well as in calm: Marcus Garvey may pass away, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association will go on and on until Africa is redeemed and the Negro peoples of the world have once again come into their own. (Applause.)
Hon. A. D. Pettibone Speaks
Hon. A. D. Pettibone said: I bring you greetings from Detroit, Michigan — from the organization that bids you go speed in the great work that you are doing here and in the defense that you are putting up for His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey. The time has come for each of us to search ourselves and find out what we can do at this time. 'Whoever among you that has said that the time is up and is backing away from the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is but demonstrating that you are not a real member of this organization, and is demonstrating that you have not caught the vision of Hon. Marcus Garvey. The time has come when each individual should examine himself to find where he stands in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The program is still with us and the program is still to be worked out, and the program must be worked out by the members of this great organization.
Tonight it is a question of the program still; it is a question that there must be no faltering; it is a question that you must accept your responsibility in the working out of this program. Ever and anon I speak of the power of each individual person. Man is a giant within himself and that is the reason why the Negro is forging forward so fast at this time. When the Universal Negro Improvement Association came on the scene Negroes everywhere were asleep; they had just commenced to wake up; they were a sleeping giant with immense opportunities thrown away. We must understand ourselves; we must understand that at this very moment we are throwing away golden opportunities that are thrusting themselves upon us, and that this great Universal Negro Improvement Association herded by the giant of this great race, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, commenced to show Negroes their rightful position in the world; that where once they thought they had no history they have learnt that they had an ill-tempered past; that the glorious history that they had was worthy of communication—was worthy of the history of any race, that trod the Soil that the glories of their history in the centuries past were so great that black men could look forward into the early down of history and be proud of the achievements of men of that time. And you tonight in Liberty Hall, if you only knew the power which is within, you would know that you are negligible your duty; you are not taking the responsibilities that you have unless you use that power to rise up in the majesty of your manhood and show that the Negro can achieve as well as other men can achieve.
You must have confidence in the persons that are serving you; you can get nowhere unless you have confidence in the persons that are serving you. I admire the Legions because they are typical and symbolic of the high type of manhood which we wish to build up; they are typical of protection; they are symbolic of the protection of home of wife and of family. I speak of the Black Cross Nurses because of the service they can render to the race. The death rate of Negroes is increasing by leaps and bounds and it is time that we have Black Cross Nurses to sound the warning and give information how Negroes can preserve their lives and preserve the babyhood of our race. I speak of the motor corps because of the service they can render to humanity. I speak of the members of the choir and of the band because of the service they are rendering humanity. We will, get nowhere unless we give service.
So, my friends, keep on marching; learn a lesson from the band. Notice how they work in harmony with their leader. If we are to achieve we must work in harmony with the leaders who are leading us and work so harmoniously that none will be out of tune. (Applause.)
AMERICAN NEGROES HAVE MESSAGE FOR SOUTH AFRICA
James Henderson, of Lovedale, Speaks on "African Problems"—Natives Solid for Prohibition
HAMPTON, Va., June 21.—The Rev. Dr. James Henderson, principal of the Lovedale Institution, which is the largest and best known school for native youth in South Africa, who for nearly thirty years has been engaged in missionary education, and who is visiting important American schools and colleges for colored youth, recently at Hampton Institution on
"Modern Problems of South Africa." Dr. Henderson described the southward movement of the Bantu people from the extremely fertile region of the equator near the Gulf of Guinea. The Bantu people, in this migration, pushed before them the "Bushman," who probably had traveled through Asia and Europe, across Gibraltar, and through Africa. "The Bushman today," said Dr. Henderson, "are a dwindling people, destined to disappear. They never learned to cultivate the ground. They were purely a hunting people, but they had a wonderful gift of art. They left paintings in the caves of Spain, in the Pyrenees. Their paintings are in the caves of South Africa—wonderful paintings in wonderfully enduring colors."
Finally the Bantu people came into collision with the Dutch people in South Africa.
Dr. Henderson also described the conditions which led to the formation of the Union of South Africa. "The native people," he said, "were unwilling to come under this union. They preferred to be under the British government. They complain to day, and I think they have justice in complaining, that they were not consulted when the union was entered into. To-day the Union of South Africa is as independent of England as Canada is independent of England. The native people have felt that, they have lost by this union. They have sent deputations to England, even as late as last year, to spread matters before the king, but because the government has been handed over to the Union—our Union is ruled by a parliament of its own—the king of England cannot interfere. It is the government of the country that must rule there.
"We, who were in the country at the time, endeavored to secure the rights of the native people in the situation. The constitution conserved the rights already held and made provision for further rights, but these rights have been very slow in being realized." The South African natives, according to Dr. Henderson, are solid for prohibition. In a recent parliamentary vote in the Union, local option was lost by only four votes. The people of South Africa, have this big problem to solve: "How are people going to build up a Christian civilization on insufficient, economic means?" He referred to the excellent work which is being done in South Africa by American Negroes, who are opening for natives many new doors of opportunity.
Message of American Negroes
"I have come here," said Dr. Henderson, "and lived among your people and talked with them. What do I find? A great people on the upward road of progress. One of our difficulties is to learn the English language. It is your language; you can use it with the utmost facility. The Christian religion is nothing outside. The spiritual songs you were singing so delightfully were the songs of your own people. In God's providence you have been brought from our land and placed here alongside of the most progressive people in the world.
"I come to your place and find equipment such as no other nation in the world possesses. I have talked with your men and women. I have tested their education. I have seen their capacities. I have been through their dwelling houses. I have seen their pictures. I have looked through their libraries. I have seen the equipment of their houses and school rooms, and my heart is filled to overflowing with thankfulness to God. God did not bring me across the ocean for nothing. God did not bring this people here for naught. Here you are, twelve million people, half the population of the country of Spain. Spain has filled page after page of the history of the Old World. God has brought you here and the doors of opportunity are waiting for you to fill the pages with glorious service."
THE WORTH AND POS SIBILITIES OF TRAINING
THE WORTH AND POS SIBILITIES OF TRAINING
By JAMES N. NESBITT
Fifth Series
Before the World War I, I was always wondering why the Negroes were all ways ready to join the army to fight and die for some one else, either the British, French, American or any other, I really could not see; we did not get anything out of it, neither recognition nor promotion when we really deserved
Health, Strength, Energy For MEN and WOMEN

The richest man in poor health would gladly sacrifice any of his treasures to regain his health. Health is restored by my method of Physical Treatment and Direct Blood Infections. Strength follows, health once obtained. Energy must be the final outcome. When you have attained these you will thank and happy as many others who are willing to personally benefit to the greatest extent possible. You must be contracted or long standing complicated alliment and need the service of an Experienced Physician, you can make no mistake by calling on me.
One Week's Treatment
After my careful examination and one week's treatment you will be con-
firmed that your condition and lasting results even in cases where many other
treatments have been failed.
My methods of injecting Vaccines and Serums directly into the Blood, combined with the aid of Medicine and Electricity, have restored Health and Happiness to scores of patients. That which I have done for others, I can do for you.
If You Suffer
it, or fought for it in the battle field, in some other form of service; we never got the full recognition, no matter how simple the deed, nor how great.
But after the war came it changed my mind. I observed it was good for one thing, and that was the Negroes would get a chance to get good training; that is some of them, for we really need it. You know as well as I do that that was the reason why so many of our people were killed in the war—the lack of training. It is aid, and by one of our officers from the South, that some of the men from the Southern States were in the colton fields in April and lying dead in the field of Flanders in June. So you see what very little training they got.
And as it was here in the United States, so I understand it was in the West Indies and other places. Even those who got the good training were put to the front as cover, so I understand, and those who hadn't any were treated worse. A friend of mine who came back from "over there" told me that if it were not for the armletice he would have been sent to the front that day, and he hardly knew how to turn to right or left, for he had been in camp only two weeks. If he had been sent to the front I am sure he would not be here today.
Although the armistice had been signed, sell they kept sending for me. They sent for me about three times and I suppose they saw I did not want to go, so they were determined to get me any way, so they sent me another card and when I went I said, to the lady: "Madame, isn't the way over? Why do $ you keep sending for me?" She said: "Boy, go on home." I was trying to be one of the last just for the reason that I did not have any training and I knew that if I had gone I would be numbered among the dead today. You might think I was not patriotic, but you know how much we got for our patriotism. Little or much it all amounted to the same thing. But what I am trying to say is to train now as we never did before, for now is the time and now is the chance.
Hence, I am calling on all of you who have had training to come out from under cover; come out in the light and train and teach each other, especially those who haven't had any and are clamoring for training and teaching. Men and women of our race, remember it is our duty to join the L. N. L. A. and train and teach the others who are anxious to learn—whether in militarism, science or any other thing. It is your duty to do this, regardless, of cost or time. You are doing this for the good of humanity and the race who needs your service. Also, remember what Scripture says of those who hide their talent under a bushel.
When Christ went out to preach and teach, He did not give His disciples any special document or script; He said, go out and teach and teach what you know is right, hide it your talent. If you men with military training and military ideas would only watch the sign of the times, just try to interpret the handwriting on the wall, surely you won't want any invitation to come out and serve. For, indeed, it does not need to be a great violinist or prophet or psychologist to see and I understand. We may as well face the facts as they are.
In conclusion I am again appealing to the military departments of all the divisions of the U. N. L. A. and to those divisions and chapters which haven't a military department, organize, get together and have one. Try to secure and have the best military officer possible as instructor, thus giving our people the best possible training, telling them for the defensive, which we may need at any time now or in the future.
You will remember when the world war first broke out, they said they did not want black men as fighters. Then Germany started making it so hot for them that England and France sent out a call for them throughout the eastern world, echoing through to the western world. Uncle Sam taking up the cry, like the cry from Macedonia, saying, "Black men, black men, come and help us!" The black men went, and we all know what happened. But I knew that would have been. If you study history, you will find that in every war fought the black man had a hand in it. And most of the wars were fought over the riches in Africa—oh, man, just think of it!—and we, the rightful possessors of it, do not get any. So wake up! Colored people, this will go in history.
Respectfully,
JAMES N. NESBITT.

Come Today
We hereby bag to acquaint you with the fact that several of the men who, during the periods of 1919 to 1922, were elected to serve the association under oath an executive officer for the good of the race, and who were roted certain salaries believing that their services to the association and to the race would merit it, but who are no longer with us in spirit nor in service, have on the basis of the large salaries voted them by the Convention, cured us for balances they have alleged due them. We are now, therefore, appealing to the loyal membership and friends of the association to help the parent body pay off these men who have resorted to the courts to force the association to pay them on the basis of the high salaries voted them for cause at the Convention.
Please subscribe to this tund to pay off these persons who are suing the association that they' sware to help and protect and of which they were executive officers. The persons suing are:—
G. E. Stewart, who was elected as Chancellor at $5,000 per annum. He is suing for $2,883.28 (two actions contested by U. N. I. A.).
Sydney De Bourg, who was elected as leader of the Salam province of the West Indies, at a salary of $6,000, which was reduced to $3,000.
Elle Garcia, elected as Auditor General at $5,000 per annum, who has been dismissed for cause, suing for $3,718 (three actions, contested by U. N. L. A.).
All members and patriots will subscribe to this fund that in case of judgment against the association these Negroes will be paid their "bits of silver" collected through judgment from the cause which they swore to defend and help by their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor."
Let us unitedly pray that the "bits of silver" we subscribe may serve
