2500 Machinists Draw Line on Negro and Strike; Officials Stand by King Schenectady, N. Y.—Demanding that the color line be drawn in the large plant of the General Electric Company here the same as the United States Government practices segregation in the army, 2,500 machinists and toolmakers went on a strike Monday, said to be one of the most peculiar labor strikes on record in this section of the State. VOL XXX No. 39 2500 Mac Line on Offici BY MANAGER G. E. EMMONS. "It is contrary to the policy of the company to take any action detrimental to the best interests of its employees, but it will tolerate no discrimination against any worthy individual on account of nationality or color. The management believes that every person should be given an opportunity to improve his con- dition, which the young man in question is trying to do." Schenectady, N. Y.—Demanding the large plant of the General Electric the United States Government praises 2,500 machinists and toolmakers who be one of the most peculiar labor sts the State. The color issue was created when a young colored man—Wendell King—was put to work in the machine shops of the General Electric Company. King is of a good family in upper Troy, N. Y., and was graduated from the Lansing burg High School in 1916. He entered Union College, Schenectady, last September, and soon attracted attention as an excellent student in wireless telegraphy and French. It is not that the Union men are opposed to the firm employing colored men, but it is opposed to white and colored working together. The officials of the General Electric Company oppose segregation; hence, the strike is likely to be a protracted one, as the heads of the company have shown no disposition to withdraw from their position. The General Electric Company employs six Negroes in the office, two in the shop and a hundred or more in the yard. But not until a few days ago did a Negro ever work as a machinist. Then the question of the separation of the races arose. Incidents in Connection With Strike. The Schenectady Union-Star, in giving an account of the strike in its news columns under the headline, "Machinists Demand Same Color Line in G. E. Plant as Exists in U. S. Army," gives the following facts: "It was 9:15 when the walkout orders were issued to the machinists by the union officials, and they gathered in front of the office building until every man who intended to walk out, was present. Orderliness characterized the meeting, and as soon as all were ready, the signal was given, and the parade started with a cheer. A dozen or so young girls followed the leader who CARRIED AN AMERICAN FLAG. "Work on the upper end of the plant was practically suspended as the men walked out, everybody gathering to see the parade. "George E. Emmons, general manager of the plant, watched the men leave the plant from his office window. "Leaving the General Electric gates, in River road, the strikers paraded up Dock street, and turned into State, where the march continued up to Crescent Park. In a few words 'Mr. Lefkowitz laid the situation before the men. "We are here,' he said in opening, to discuss the matter in the quietest manner possible. While we are out for our cause we must conduct ourselves in an orderly manner. The machinists' organizations of Schenectady are now on strike; the issue being drawn on the failure of the General Electric officials to grant us the right of presenting at any time a request through a grievance committee. We have given them fair warning. The ultimatum was forwarded Saturday through the same mail that the officials receive their other letters. There was no response, and our action could lay in only one direction. "Do not lose sight of the fact that we are fighting, not on the grounds of race prejudice, but on the grounds of moral convictions." "The speaker went on to explain that the real issue of the strike was the employment of one Negro, who was put to work in the shop under the jurisdiction of the machinists organization, which act is contrary to the laws of that organization, he said. The organization does not ask that Negroes be refused employment, but simply that they be employed separate and apart from white workers. "We are not unfair in our demands," and Mr. Lefkowitz, in ending his address. "We ask no more than the United States Government. This nation has several regiments of Negro soldiers. It is known that those Negroes are not allowed to frequent the same recreation grounds as the white soldiers, nor are they in any manner, allowed to mingle with the whites. What this Government sees fit in practicing, we feel justified in demanding." Company officials claim the issue to be the employment by the company of a young colored man. According to Mr. Immons, Wendell King, is a student at Union College, and was recommended by the faculty with twenty-five or thirty other young men in the college as being a worthy boy to aid in securing his college education. The young man was put BY JOSEPH LEFKOWITZ. (A Striker) "We ask no more than the United States Government. This nation has several regiments of Negro soldiers. It is known that these Negroes are not allowed to frequent the same recreation grounds as the white soldiers, nor are they in any manner allowed to mingle with the whites. What this government sees fit in practising we feel justified in demanding." to work June 8, and is at present employed in building 23 operating a drill press. "The first intimation of any dissatisfaction, he said, was last Tuesday afternoon when a committee of machinists protested against the young man being longer employed in the capacity of a machinist. Mr. Emmons contends a committee of the machinists practically demanded that the young colored man be taken to prison to pay Mr. Emmons a plied that he could see no reason, for establishing a color line. He told the committee that the young man was a college student and worthy of being aided. Mr. Emmons Believes in a Real Democracy. Mr. Emmons left his office last Tuesday night when he received the ultimatum of the union. The ultimatum was decided on a meeting of the union Friday night and said in part: "We take this means of notifying you that the machinists demand that the management recognize the machinists committee and that Negro labor will not be employed under the jurisdiction of the machinists," and was signed by Joseph Lefkowitz. William Hogan, W. L. Sargent, W. Walker and E. Cooley. There were about 2,500 machinists who left the works this morning, practically all the machinists employed by the company, and many of them were busy on government work. Just what effect, if any, this will have with the government officials could not be determined to-day. When asked: if he thought the government would step in and take a hand in the matter, Mr. Emmons said he did not know, and had hardly given the matter a thought. All other branches of work continued as usual after the machinists walked out. In a formal statement Mr. Emmons expressed himself as follows: "It is contrary to the policy of the company to take any action detrimental to the best interests of its employees, but it will tolerate no discrimination against any worthy individual on account of nationality or color. "The management believes that every person should be given an opportunity to improve his condition which the young man in question is trying to do." REPRIMAND POLICEMAN FOR HITTING MINISTER Police Officer Schwartz was given a severe reprimand Wednesday morning by Inspector Ryan of the Sixth District for hitting the Rev. George F. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church Decoration Day. After the police officer had been given a good talking to by the inspector the Rev. Dr. Sims declined to push the matter further, stating that his object had been attained; that he had preferred charges against Schwartz to teach him a lesson and show him that he must be discreet in the use of his club. On Decoration' Day the Rev. Dr. Sims and a friend were standing on the steps in front of a house on 131st street, near Lenox avenue. He had just called out the police reserves, as a reckless driver of an automobile had run over a colored child on Lenox avenue, and bystanders were bent on doing him injury. Police Officer Schwartz came upon the scene and although he did not know what the trouble was about, ordered Dr. Sims to move and hitting him once with his club. The matter was at once referred to the Police Commissioner by the well known minister. At the trial Wednesday morning a colored man took the stand for the policeman and made a number of contradictory statements, as did Schwartz. The police officer admitted that the Rev. Sims was standing on the steps, although he also testified that he ordered the minister off the sidewalk. The defendant also declared he was ignorant of traffic rules.

ALL WE ASK IS A SQUARE DEAL "Non-Goms" To Entertain Prominent Officer of Allies The non-commissioned officers of the 15th Infantry, on Saturday evening, June 30, will be the hosts of some prominent military officers of our allied forces. The officer's name has not yet been announced, but it is said that he will be a man of great prowess. Veterans of the four regular colored regiments of the army will also be guests of honor, who will be invited individually by friends among the non-commissioned officers in the regiment. Invitations will be sent to regimental headquarters to the names handed in by the non-commissioned officers, whose names will appear as the special hosts of their other friends. All of this kind give added incentive to students to study up to become one of the regimental officers. Maj. Edwin B. Boyd, one of the most enthusiastic officers in the Fifteenth, who is an expert writer on tactics and strategy, and has been in National Guard for more than thirty years, recently had this to say in speaking of the regiment: "The enlisted men represent the very best class of our Negro citizens; the orderly, thrifty class of educated men who have seized the opportunity to prove afresh that there is no braver or more reliable soldier than the North American Negro." "Col. Hayward, recognizing the-need ARCHDEACON RUSSELL DECLINES APPOINTMENT (Special to The New York Am) LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—Archdeacon Jas. S. Russell, recently elected Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, has declined the honor with thanks, having sent the Right Rev. James R. Winchester, of Little Rock, Ark., the following telegram: I have given the most careful and prayful consideration to my election to the Suffragan Bishopric of the Diocese of Arkansas, and I thank you and your Council for the great honor conferred upon me. But after thirty-five years of hard work at Lawrenceville I am persuaded that it is my duty to remain as Archdeacon of Southern Virginia and Principal of St. Paul's School. Letter follows. Archdeacon Russell, who was elected a Suffragan Bishop some weeks ago, was the first Negro to be so honored in this country by the Episcopal Church. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE AT RIDGEWOOD, N. J (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Rinnewood, N. J.-Albert E. Florny, who graduated from the Ridgewood High School this year, is the first colored boy to graduate since the school has been erected. For three years he has captured' the coveted honors in sports and is the only graduate who has won his-four 's' in athletics. He expects to matriculate at Howard University in the fall. MADE AN OFFICER OF Charles Cs-Allison, Jr., Secretary of the Colored Big Brothers, with offices in the rooms of the National Urban League, 2303 Seventh avenue, was appointed an officer for the New York City Parole Commission, Friday, June 15, as a result of a competitive civil service examination in which 574 men participated. He was placed eighth on the list. WINS BRONZE MEDAL IN SHORT HAND. CONTEST (Special to The New York Acm) NEWARK, N. J.-Joshaun Smith, a graduate of the Plainfield High School, was awarded a bronze medal in the annual New Jersey State shorthand contest, held here June 9. He was the only representative of the race present. to get the very finest 'soldier talent' for officers, has brought his best efforts to the task of gathering field, staff and line officers. The colonel himself, has had wide military experience in western regiments during the Spanish-American war and since. No man could have brought to this particular task a riper experience of men or of organization. Gov. Whitman was fortunate in having at his command a man of Col. Hayward's calibre for this difficult task. Col. Hayward was on the New York reserve list as a colonel by reason of his previous service in that grade. "The lieutenant Colonel is Lorillard Spencer, who resigned his post as military secretary to the Governor to resume his military service in the new department. Two of the majors are Hunsell Morris, who was an officer in the Twelfth Infantry for nearly twenty years, and Woodell A. Pickering, one of the best known experts in the United States on ordnance and small arms practice. Major Pickering has had most distinguished service in the United States Marine Corps all over the world. His particular task now is to teach the Fifteenth to shoot like the marines who have for years produced the winning teams at all the great rifle competitions." NEGRO PRIEST IS KILLED ON FIELD OF BATTLE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BOSTON, Mass.—According to the Pilot, a publication conducted in the interest of the Catholic Church, the Abbe Gabriel Sane, the first black Catholic chaplain with the Colonial troops in France, was killed in Champagne by a bursting shell. His body was brought in by Dr. Letavin, of the Holy Ghost Order, who came from Brazil to serve the armies of France. The Abbe Gabriel Sane was born in 1869, and was converted to Christianity. He made his studies in Senegal, his native country, and was ordained priest in 1902. When he saw his compatriots leaving in great numbers for the war, he asked his Bishop for permission to accompany them, if only as interpreter, for he spoke six language. Mons, Le Roy, chief military chaplain, who received him in France in 1910, appointed him chaplain to the Senegalese Tirailleurs, who received him with enthusiasm. MILITARY CONCERT AND BALL ENDUARD EVENING The military 'ball and band concert Friday evening of this week' at Manhattan Casino for the benefit of the band fund of the Fifteenth Regiment, promises to be one of the biggest entertainments of the early summer. The affair is being given under the auspices of the officers and Ladies' Auxiliary of the Fifteenth Regiment, and the soldier boys and their many female admirers will be very much in evidence. The Fifteenth Infantry Band, which is already attracting local attention, will give a concert under the direction of Lieut. James Reese Europe, assisted by Bandmaster Eugene F. Mikel. The officers of the regiment, from Col. Hayward down, will be present, and the enlisted men will show New Yorkers what they have learned in military tactics since doing the khaki. LABOR AND HOUSING CONDITIONS IN BUFFALO (Special to The New York Anz) BUFFALO, N. Y.-Notices are posted for one thousand colored men to work as section hands on the railroad between Buffalo and New York. A new canning factor is also soliciting colored help to can vegetables. Three thousand colored people have come into the city during the past month. The housing conditions are said to be a disgrace. Something should be done by those in authority to relieve the situation. NEGRO SERVES AS AN INTERPRETER FOR STATE At 702 Washington street, where the State military census is being taken, the busiest person representing the State of New York is James A. Rivers, black in color, who is serving 'as an interpreter and who is an object of curiosity to many. The registration place is in the midst of a large colony of Spaniards, many of whom cannot speak English. Mr. Rivers, who resides at 72 W. 132nd street, speaks English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese fluently. He was graduated from Tufts College in 1902 and acquired a local reputation as a linguist while attending the Boston Latin School. In 1905, he left United States to attend the J. McCaddon's School, which disbanded in France one year later. Next he became interpreter for the Buffalo Bill Show, remaining with the wild west aggregation until 1908. After staying in France until 1911, Mr. Rivers went to Rome, Italy and became athletic instructor of the Cannotie, the exclusive boat club of which King Emmanuel is a member. Later he was engaged to instruct the younger members of the police force in Rome in the art of self-defense, but his position was temporarily abolished owing to many of the police joining the army, so over a year ago he returned to America. Mr. Rivers says he is going back to Europe as soon as the war is over. UNION GENERAL'S WIDOW RECRUITING REGIMENT (Special to THE NEW YORK AGT) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Impressed by the value of the service rendered by Negro troops in the Union Army during the Civil War, Mrs. Annie T. Russell, of 90 Pine Street, is spending several hours each day assisting in the recruiting of Negro men in the United States Army. When in 1861 the order went out to organize Negro regiments, the late General Charles S. Russell, then colonel of the Eleventh United States Infantry, was detailed to recruit a regiment in Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Russell, a bride of new months, accompanied him to the Hosier capital and became actively engaged in recruiting the regiment. "I am quite certain that the regiment that we raised in Indianapolis was the finest regiment of colored men to go into active service," said Mrs. Russell. "General Russell commanded the regiment and it served through the war. I accompanied my husband and saw the regiment after each of the battles in which it fought, and my respect for colored soldiers became firmly fixed by the showing the regiment made. We were with Grant at Petersburg, and no regiment ever fought more bravely or harder for the flag than did the one commanded by General Russell. "When President Wilson declared war against Germany, I felt there was but one thing for me to do. And so I went to work urging colored men to enlist. Of course, it is not for me to advise the War Department about enlisting regiments, but I do think at least one colored regiment could be recruited in Philadelphia. The colored men, I find, are very patriotic. I shall use my utmost endeavor to raise one." After the fall of Richmond Mrs. Russell was the first woman to visit Libby Prison. In 1866 she raised the stars and stripes over Corpus Christi, Texas. Accompanying General Russell, who was ordered to take charge of the division, with the Texas town as its centre, she found a Confederate flag flying over the Post Office. She asked permission to lower it and raise the Stars and Stripes. George Robinson, residing at 111 W. 131st street, is dead, and his widow, Mrs. Charlotte Robinson, is in a critical condition at the Harlem Hospital, as the result of a midnight fire of unknown origin which occurred Monday evening. But for the prompt action of the police and fire department there would have been more accidents. The fire created great excitement in the neighborhood. Only two doors away is the Libya, which had its usual large patronage at that hour. The Robinsons were asleep when the fire started, and they were awakened by the jintense heat. Finding themselves henned in by flames and escape by means of the stairway impossible, they jumped from a window on the top floor. Robinson sustained injuries which proved fatal, dying a few hours after he had been taken to the hospital. CAPTAIN'S COMMISSION FOR POLICE OFFICER PHILADELPHIA, Pa - Alonzo Myers, a policeman of the Moyamensing avenue and Dickinson street station, was notified by the War Department on Wednesday that he has been commissioned a captain for the Negro officers' training camp at Des Moines, Ia. He will leave on Friday. Myers, who lives at 1825 Christian street, has a fine record for bravery both in the Army and police force. He served in Cuba, during the Spanish-American war and also in the Philippines during the insurrection. Congress awarded him a McKinley medal for bravery. IS RELIABLE.

Report of State of Church. In its report of the state of the church the conference dwelt upon the recent lynching at Memphis and the present European conflict as follows: Only a few days ago there occurred in Memphis, Tenn., one of the worst lynchings crimes in the history of the nation, and at that very moment there were in session two general assemblies of the Presbyterian Church, but not one word of protest was made by these preachers of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, of righteousness and justice against this hellish atrocity. In calling America to arms, President Wilson said that it was to make the world sale for democracy. Twelve million Georges Americans in this country feel that the state is at the world, and we ask the President tonight through the churches of our Zion, that he make a place of safety foot in this new democracy. At this solemn hour in the history of the human race when, the destinies of mankind are in the balance, the church needs to return to the old paths, and to have a closer walk with God. In conclusion, we ask that our churches accept and adorn the message Beautiful High School had its exercises on Friday in the First African Baptist The crowd was immense.

An esteemed correspondent writes to THE AGE, explaining that some of our preachers are continually showing up how bad the Negro is, instead of proclaiming the virtues of the race. He insists that better conditions would follow if more emphasis was laid on the virtues, and less prominence given to the failings to which all humanity is prone. We are inclined to agree with our correspondent in his plea, as the force of suggestion is apt to make a man or a race act up to the reputation that is attached to the individual or the mass. It is better to dwell on the virtues of the race and thus encourage its members to believe in and emulate the good qualities attributed to them, than to emphasize the failings and make them believe that they cannot be overcome. The same thing applies with equal force to the newspapers published by the race. Too much prominence is given by some of them, in the quest for sensations, to matters of crime and scandal. Of course this is true of the daily press, whose example our journals blindly follow, forgetting that their mission is not only that of news getting and giving, but of racial up-lift as well. The Negro newspaper should be a continual source of inspiration toward better things. Emphasis should be laid on the virtues and achievements of the race along constructive lines. The wideawake editor who seeks this kind of news will not be at a loss for material to feature, and he will be under no necessity to use billboard type for shootings and divorces. Let the preachers and editors dwell on the brighter side. It will inspire their hearers and readers to better things. THE AGE AND ITS AGENTS. Alert, energetic and above all honest agents are a source of strength to any business enterprise that has to carry its finished product and deliver it to the consumer. Especially is the Negro newspaper dependent on its agents in various sections for its growth and maintenance. The difficulties of the situation are increased by the fact that in most cases these agents have to be secured through correspondence and trained in business methods. That such good results have been attained through the present system is a credit to the adaptability and inherent honesty of the race. Of course, among a group of hundreds of individuals selected like these agents there is bound to be a certain proportion of inef- finance and financey Some agents become delinquent in their accounts more through the lack of ability to conduct their business on a cash basis and a failure to make collections, than through deliberate intention to defraud. A goodly number are frauds by profession, using the agency merely as a means of obtaining money under false pretences. Their operations are not confined to any one paper, but they go from one to another, robbing subscriber and publisher indifferently and with equal facility. Greater cooperation among the various papers would restrict the field of their trickery. Another class while not intentionally dishonest become muddled in their accounts through a failure to distinguish clearly between what proportion of the receipts from sales belongs to them and what should be remitted to the publisher. One of these gave as an excuse for not remitting regularly, the fact that his clothes had become so shabby, that he did not feel fit to appear in public. Consequently, the total receipts of that week went to improve his attire. He undoubtedly meant to make it good and could not understand that it was wrong to use the money in that way. But the dealer who complained that his bundle contained a smaller number than billed, and then returned a greater number unsold than he admits receiving, convicts himself of stupidity as well as dishonesty. It is only fair to say that this man was not a member of the race but a professional news dealer. The most encouraging feature of the situation is the large number of young boys and girls who act as agents and frequently as correspondents as well. They send their news notes in clear, well written style and keep their accounts accurately and remit promptly for their papers. They not only help the paper, but they help themselves. They acquire practice in composition, business methods and incidentally pocket money from the commission allowed on sales. More power to the agents of THE AGE. May their number multiply, and their efficiency increase in proportion! BASE PAY ON COLOR. The School Board of San Antonio, Tex., has granted an increase in salary of $10 a month to all white grade teachers and an increase of $5 to all colored grade teachers on account of the high cost of living. The fifty per cent difference in the raise of the white teachers over the colored is consistent with the idea so prevalent that the Negro can live more cheaply, than the Caucasian. The Negro is not favored by a reduction in prices for, potatoes, onions, flour and beefsteak, and he pays just as much for shoes and clothing as the white man. As for rent, he is charged more and receives less for his money than the white tenant, a fact generally known. This erroneous assumption is largely sectional. We find white charitable institutions receiving larger appropriations than colored institutions, although the latter accommodate more inmates. As the prices for food and clothing are uniform, the only conclusion to be reached after reviewing this discriminating policy is that officials assume Negroes eat less and wear fewer clothes than white people. It is a curious fact that although the housing conditions of Negroes often cause serious concern and white sociologists warn us that improper living is responsible for much ill health among Negroes, that but little financial encouragement is given to enable them to live in a more satisfactory environment. In San Antonio the colored teacher will be expected to live up to the dignity of the position. She will have to present the appearance of being as well fed and well groomed as the white teacher. She will be looked upon to respond to the numerous calls for to respond to the numerous calls for financial assistance made by the deserving, and of course help some THE DISTINCTION OF MEMPHIS. It is usual to teach in our pub and the important cities of the country how many pupils in the grammar school could answer right off and tell, whnessee, its chief distinction, not on States, but among the cities of the Some smart scholar might jujphis, situated on the great Mississippi as a cotton market. Memphis there are other cities in the country. No, there is one thing for we passed and unrivaled among all the Tennessee, is the most murderer human sacrifice which was performed a record for the killing of human years against all contestants. This is not a charge we are simply making an admission of its may think the awarding of such proof, we submit the following figure record covering years: Statistics show that in 1915 of the larger cities of the United Orleans 83; Atlanta 64; San Francisco 186; Boston 37; Milwaukee 14. We that the population of Memphis is of Atlanta 200,000, of San Francisco New York 5,500,000, of Boston 8 we find the rate at which human persons during the year 1915 to be population there were killed in Memphis, in New Orleans 20.7 persons, in New Orleans 8.4 persons, in New York 3 persons. That is, in Memphis two and a half times as many per man as in New Orleans; six times times as many as in Chicago: two and twenty-seven times as many. This state of things caused A Shelby County, to remark a few w "Human life is cheaper in Me Of course, the above figures of quasi-legal killings; that is, the No by policemen, detectives, night w yet a just investigation would sl such killings are nothing less than The writer was in Memphis nine days, and there was an average day for the time he was there; kind sort of police power. On the day ter, who did not even have authori and the papers reported that the begging for his life at the time he one or two killings in the next fiday the police brought the avera three in one day. Two of these robbed a grocery store and the charge that he had not registered although, as he continued to pro- years of age. These three killings were so brutal that they brought from the following editorial in its issue of usual to teach in our public schools what the most important cities of the country are famous for, for pupils in the grammar schools or even in the power right off and tell, what it is that gives Memphis chief distinction, not only among the cities, but among the cities of the world. A smart scholar might jump to the conclusion based on the great Mississippi River, gains its cotton market. Memphis is a great cotton other cities in the country and in the world that there is one thing for which Memphis stands and unrivaled among all the cities of the world, is the most murderous city on earth. Rescue which was performed there recently rests for the killing of human beings that the city against all contestants. This is not a charge we are making against Memphis, making an admission of its pre-eminence. But the awarding of such a palm should be submitted the following figures, which are in a averaging years: Statistics show that in 1915 the number of hometown cities of the United States were: Memphis 13; Atlanta 64; San Francisco 75; Chicago 20; Boston 37; Milwaukee 14. When it is taken into population of Memphis is 150,000, of New Orleans 200,000, of San Francisco 550,000, of Chicago 5,500,000, of Boston 800,000 and of Milwaukee the rate at which human beings were killed during the year 1915 to be as follows: for every there were killed in Memphis 81.3 persons, in New Orleans 20.7 persons, in San Francisco 8.4 persons, in New York 3.3 persons, and. That is, in Memphis there were killed, in half times as many persons as in Atlanta; in New Orleans; six times as many as in San Francisco; twenty times as many-seven times as many-as in New York and state of things caused Attorney-General Hunts County, to remark a few weeks ago: Human life is cheaper in Memphis than beefsteak. Course, the above figures do not take into consideration killings; that is, the Negroes killed in a city, men, detectives, night watchmen, inspectors, that investigation would show that in nine cases are nothing less than murder. Writer was in Memphis a short while ago for a time he was there; killed by white men on police power. On the day of his arrival, a white man did not even have authority to carry a pistol, theapers reported that the Negro had both hands for his life at the time he was shot to death so killings in the next five or six days, and police brought the average up by killing the one day. Two of these men were suspects in a grocery store and the other was being arrested that he had not registered under the new constitution as he continued to protest, he was more than three killings were so inexcusable, so collar they brought from the Memphis Commercial editorial in its issue of June 16: It is usual to teach in our public schools what the various states and the important cities of the country are famous for. We wonder how many pupils in the grammar schools or even in the high schools could answer right off and tell what it is that gives Memphis, Tennessee, its chief distinction, not only among the cities of the United States, but among the cities of the world. Some smart scholar might jump to the conclusion that Memphis, situated on the great Mississippi River, gains its chief distinction as a cotton market. Memphis is a great cotton market, but there are other cities in the country and in the world that are greater. No, there is one thing for which Memphis stands out, unsurpassed and unrivaled among all the cities of the world. Memphis, Tennessee, is the most murderous city on earth. The gruesome human sacrifice which was performed there recently merely caps off a record for the killing of human beings that the city has held for years against all contestants. This is not a charge we are making against Memphis; we are simply making an admission of its pre-eminence. But for fear some may think the awarding of such a palm should be backed up by proof, we submit the following figures, which are in accord with the record covering years: This state of things caused Attorney-General Hunter Wilson, of Shelby County, to remark a few weeks ago: "Human life is cheaper in Memphis than beefsteak." Of course, the above figures do not take into consideration the quasi-legal killings; that is, the Negroes killed in a city like Memphis by policemen, detectives, night watchmen, inspectors, spotters, etc.; yet a just investigation would show that in nine cases out of ten such killings are nothing less than murder. The writer was in Memphis a short while ago for a period of nine days, and there was an average of nearly one Negro killed a day for the time he was there; killed by white men exercising some sort of police power. On the day of his arrival, a white liquor spotter, who did not even have authority to carry a pistol, killed a Negro; and the papers reported that the Negro had both hands up and was begging for his life at the time he was shot to death. There were one or two killings in the next five or six days, and on the eighth day the police brought the average up by killing three Negroes—three in one day. Two of these men were suspected of having robbed a grocery store and the other was being arrested on the charge that he had not registered under the new conscription law: although, as he continued to protest, he was more than thirty-one years of age. These three killings were so inexcusable, so cold-blooded and brutal that they brought from the Memphis Commercial Appeal the following editorial in its issue of June 16: OUR KILLING OFFICERS. Killing Negroes by policemen is pariment. One of the killings seems to be a other seems to have been a display. This business was practically s there has been renewal.

One of the killings seems to be without any color of an excuse. The other seems to have been a display of want of good police sense. relative or relatives in need or be branded as an ingrate and unsympathetic. On just what grounds the School Board of San Antonio decided that white teachers were entitled to a larger increase than the colored teachers on account of the high cost of living should, prove interesting reading. for his country and the Negro. If fair-minded employers of his caliber were to cater to such irresponsible persons as Lefkowitz and his followers on the race question it would not be long before these same quasi-Americans would find it in order to make other absurd demands, in which the color question did not enter. Vice-President G. E. Emmons of the General Electric Company, Schenectady, N. Y., is a real American who believes in a real democracy. Mr. Emmons knows full well that catering to those who believe in segregating citizens into groups because of the color of their skin is wrong and an un-American practice that will greatly retard the progress and quietude of this country, if not stopped. By refusing to discharge a young colored man, a college student, temporarily working for the firm, in the face of the perverse attitude of 2,500 of his machinists who walked out, refusing to work with a Negro. Mr. Emmons has done a big thing the schools what the various states, country are famous for. We wonder, schools or even in the high schools, that it is that gives Memphis, Tenn., among the cities of the United States the world. Imp to the conclusion that Memphis River, gains its chief distinction is a great cotton market, but in and in the world that are greater, which Memphis stands out, unsurvey the cities of the world. Memphis is city on earth. The gruesome men there recently merely caps off the beings that the city has held for making against Memphis; we are pre-eminence. But for fear some palm should be backed up by injuries, which are in accord with the number of homicides in some States were: Memphis, 122; New Orleans 75; Chicago 211; New York. When it is taken into consideration is 150,000, of New Orleans 400,000, of Chicago 550,000, of Chicago 2,500,000, of 100,000 and of Milwaukee 450,000, beings were killed in the above as follows: for every 100,000 of Memphis 81.3 persons, in Atlanta 32 persons, in San Francisco 136 persons, in York 3.3 persons, and in Milwaukee there were killed, approximately persons as in Atlanta; four times as as many as in San Francisco; ten twenty times as many as in Boston as in New York and Milwaukee. Attorney-General Hunter Wilson, of weeks ago: "Memphis than beefsteak." Do not take into consideration the grooves killed in a city like Memphisatchmen, inspectors, spotters, etc. how that in nine cases out of ten men murder. A short while ago for a period of age of nearly one Negro killed a soldier by white men exercising some of his arrival, a white liquor spotty to carry a pistol, killed a Negro Negro had both hands up and was he shot to death. There were five or six days, and on the eighth age up by killing three Negroes—men were suspected of having another was being arrested on the under the new conscription law; rest, he was more than thirty-one. inexcusable, so cold-blooded and Memphis Commercial Appeal the June 16: no credit to the efficiency of the de- without any color of an excuse.

If fair-minded employers of his cali- ber were to cater to such irres- ponsible persons as Lefkowitz and, his followers on the race question it would not be long before these same quasi-Americans would find it in order to make other absurd demands in which the color question did not enter. In his great address to the Russian people on behalf of the United States, Elibu Root, in speaking of America's love for liberty and democracy said: "We believe in the competence of the power of democracy and in our heart of hearts abides faith in the绵绵 of a better world in which the humble and oppressed of all lands may be lifted up by freedom to a heritage of justice and equal opportunity." This sentiment we hope will be expressed as freely by the representatives of the United Government at home as abroad. An expression of this sentiment by President Wilson to his Negro fellow citizens would be at this time most appropriate. The age of the victims show the inconsistency of this assertion. Boys under 20 years are not ordinarily so desperate that they fight to the death before surrendering. If officers can only serve as accelerators of the homicide record of Memphis it would be better if they were all discharged. The terrible showing made by Memphis, Atlanta and New Orleans in comparison with Chicago, Boston and New York brings the plea from the southern cities that their higher homicide rate is due to the presence of their greater Negro population. In a way, this is true. The Negro is really indirectly responsible, partly because he himself does some of the killing, but in a much larger measure, because he furnishes so many victims. If the blood-thirsty white men of these cities did not have so many handy victims around whom they can kill without any fear of punishment, there is no doubt that the homicide rate would be lower. Now, what is true of Memphis and of Atlanta and New Orleans in comparison with Chicago, Boston and New York is proportionately true of the United States in comparison with the other countries of the world. The United States is the most lawless of all the great countries of the world. Let us look at a few more figures. Statistics covering a period of ten years show that for every 100,000 of population, the number of homicides in various countries were as follows: in the United States 5.91, in Italy 3.77, in Germany 2.05, in England 0.85, in Japan 0.65. To put it another way, the homicides in Christian America were nine times the number in heathen Japan. Consideration of these figures make it appear that putting down lawlessness in the United States is about as urgent a job as fighting to make democracy safe for the world. WHO IS LEFKOWITZ? The news columns of Thursday Schenectady stating that with re-contacts on the books the General with a strike of 2,500 machinists when the company refused to dispress operator. The Negro is a sort of twenty young men recommend. It is reported that the men American flag at the head of the ping President Lefkowitz announce of Negroes.

We hope that he will be jude does, he may be sure that Lefglad enough to go back to work, ment and the men'ar unable to rotervention is anticipated.

The news columns of Thursday's papers carried a despatch from Schenectady stating that with millions of dollars in Government contracts on the books the General Electric Company is confronted with a strike of 2,500 machinists and their helpers, who quit work when the company refused to discharge or segregate a Negro drill press operator. The Negro is a student of Union College and is one of twenty young men recommended by the college authorities. It is reported that the men marched from the works with an American flag at the head of the procession and in an open air meeting President Lefkowitz announced that they demanded segregation of Negroes. We ask, "Who is Lefkowitz?" From his unpronounceable name, we judge that he is not more than one generation removed from a class of people who for centuries have been segregated, oppressed and outraged in Russia. Has the sudden promise of freedom in Russia made Mr. Lefkowitz forget all those centuries? The stand taken by the manager of the company is commendable. We hope that he will be just and brave enough to hold it. If he does, he may be sure that Lefkowitz and his whole gang will be glad enough to go back to work. It is reported that if the management and the men are unable to reach an agreement, Government intervention is anticipated. We hope it won't go that far, for we should rather trust the case with Manager Emmons than with the present administration. Again we call attention to the preposterous picture of Lefkowitz marching under an American flag demanding the segregation of Negroes. NEGRO AND MIGRATION. The following open letter to J. J. Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Georgia, has been written by Dr. H. R. Builler, of Atlanta, in which migration is discussed: To the Hon. Mr. Brown: similar conditions? The puzzling thing to me is, that they stood it as long as they did. God helped them to be patient, that is why they waited thus. The good thing about your suggestion is that you intend to recommend to the legislature that "more drastic I have read with a great deal of interest your interview as published in the daily papers, and most especially that part referring to the migration of the colored people from the South to the North. I note that you suggest that more drastic laws be made against the labor agents and in one paper a hint was made toward conscripting colored men and sending them to the farms. This was an unfortunate suggestion, unless it had been said that all men not needed at the front, regardless of race, be sent to the labor agents. As to "more drastic laws," I should say, my people do not object to that, provided these laws apply to all races alike. But, Mr. Brown, allow me to introduce to you a few of the labor agents who are taking colored labor out of the South and especially Georgia; First, mob violence and the lynchers; second, injustice in the courts; third, paying first-class railroad fare for fourth-class service; fourth, assaults to their women and themselves on railroads and street cars; fifth, insults in public places, elevators and on the streets, sixth, the right to vote and bear arms in defence of their state denied; seventh, poor pay for their labor on the farms and public works, while convicts are often used to do the work free labor should be doing; eighth, poor schools for their children; ninth, no agricultural schools for their children, while they are taxed to pay for such schools for the children of their white friends, tenth, taxation without representation in the management of the government; eleventh, no representation on the jurors; twelfth, in some cities and towns, no parks, play grounds or swimming pools for their children, yet they are taxed to provide such for the children of their white friends; thirteenth, segregation into the sickly parts of the cities where the streets are poorly kept and often neglected; fourteenth, poor encouragement for their efforts to do right; fifteenth, the white church and its Christianity in the state, so far as I have been able to learn except in a feweas of a spiradic nature in the Southern Methodist, Southern Presbyterian and the Episcopal churches, is silent and passive on these wrongs. These. Mr. Brown, are a few of the labor agents who are taking our colored people away from Georgia and the South. Down deep in your heart, do you blame them? Can you blame them? Would you not do the same thing under they's papers carried a despatch from millions of dollars in Governmental Electric Company is confronted and their helpers, who quit work charge or segregate a Negro drill student of Union College and is one used by the college authorities. Marched from the works with an procession and in an open air meeting that they demanded segregation. "From his unpronouncable name, on one generation removed from a place have been segregated, oppressed sudden promise of freedom in Rus- those centuries?

The puzzling thing to me is, that they stood it as long as they did. God helped them to be patient, that is why they waited thus. The good thing about your suggestion is that you intend to recommend to the legislature that "more drastic laws" be made against the labor agents. I have introduced to you some of the labor agents who are taking the colored people away, with the hope that your recommendations to the legislature will induce that honorable body to make some "drastic laws against them." --- should include these issues: if you would urge that the authorities whose duty it is to draw the jurispride to understand that they have no legal right to exclude colored tax-payers from the lists, if they do, you will have caught another labor agent; twelfth, if you can induce the authorities in cities and towns in Georgia that have taken the people's taxes, white and colored allike, and provided parks, play grounds and swimming pools for the white children, to see that it is right and just to provide these facilities for the colored citizens, then you will have caught another labor agent; thirteenth, if you will urge the authorities to stop making laws to segregate colored people into the sickly and unhealthy parts of cities where streets are unkempt and soldom cleaned, then you will have caught another labor agent; fourteenth, if you will urge the farmers throughout the state, to make and keep a clean contract with their tenants so that at the end of the year there will be no misunderstanding between tenant and land owner, then you will have caught another labor agent; fifteenth, if you can urge the white ministers and their members to visit our colored churches and schools, and witness our struggles and, hear our songs and prayers to God, and give us helpful Christian advice and give us the same helpful hand they are giving to those in far off India, Japan and China, you will have 'done lots to keep labor at home.' It is said opportunity knocks at every man's door once, but he has been knocking at the South's door, for fifty years and the South has failed to open the door. The colored people of the South have been faithful, they have been forgiving and long suffering with their white neighbors; they have waited for their white friends to do the right and just thing, and they would not; now it is, I fear, too late; the opportunity to have the trust and best labor and domestic friend on earth seems to be lost, lost, lost. If I might be allowed just one suggestion to our white friends on this subject, it is this: *begin today* and revise and reorganize your every method in dealing with and treatment of the colored people wherever you may come in contact with them; the treatment and management recorded the colored people twenty-five and fifty years ago will never do today, this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and we might as well be honest and fact it. It is never too late to do right. **COURTESY TO CORRESPONDENTS.** To the Editor of *The New York Age*. For a number of years your correspondent has been engaged in newspaper work, that is, writing articles, selling newspapers, etc. In this line of work he has come in contact with people who habitually read newspapers and periodicals, also people who read newspapers occasionally, and others who in variably say "I have no time to read." Those that concerns your correspondent most are the people who can but do not read newspapers. They show a lack of courtesy due a newspaper correspondent, which in some instances is inexcusable, because of the education and refinement they possess. These people become very indignant with the correspondent if he fails to give big write-ups to certain incidents. They do not consider what it costs the publisher to set up the type, furnish the paper, ink, etc., in order to get the matter in shape for the public to read. When these facts are stated to them, they point to the white man's newspaper and say: "If he can do thus and so, why cannot Negro publishers do likewise?" It never occurs to them that a newspaper correspondent must live by the product of his work and that his time and labor have some value; that the editor or publisher is the supreme judge of all matter sent in for publication; that the correspondent cannot guarantee the publication of matter he must deliver to the expense of the publication. A live newspaper correspondent is greatly handicapped and sometimes greatly embarrassed in getting certain matter published, because of the disinclination of the parties interested to pay for the publication of what is virtually advertising matter. Your correspondent is moved to write upon this subject because of the seeming ignorance of the people along this line of newspaper work. Talk along this line is a means of educating them to know what are the functions of a newspaper, and the courtesy due a newspaper man. He should receive an invitation to balls, parties and other social functions. He will not necessarily be present at all times, but the invitation serves as a stimulus to him to write about it. He should not be required to pay door fees to functions, such as musicales, collations and the like. To give publicity to these functions costs the publisher more than the price exacted from the correspondent as door fee.

Asquim: "Do you know, I listen wonder why a ship has to weigh its anchor every time it leaves port" Mr. Dumley: "Why—er—the weight is constantly changing, you know, because of the—er—binnacles and things that accumulate on the anchor"—Philadelphia WASHINGTON LETTER Washington Bureau, THE NEW YORK ACE, 609 F Street N. W. Jeanette Carter, Manager WASHINGTON, D. C.—A great many strangers of the Confederate Encampment stopped in Washington Friday night. I went over near the Union Station, so many of them had camped, but like Rhoederich Dluh's men is the Scottish cope, they had all vanished from the map of the square and of Washington, and I could not be able to those who wore the gray and caribou of the Stars and Bars, but somehow, they will not stand for charity. They insist upon judging everybody and everything, and assuming that they are perfect, as the mobocrats of Memphis do in the matter of the lynching and burning of Eli Persons, and of denying the right of others to judge them. This is a southern city, and the dear Confederate men were shocked at many turns where they had to rub ulbens with "the colored man and brother." It will be that way all of the time, henceforth, because the white man, when a slavemaster, mixed the races, and now he unmix them. We are glad the Confederate Veterans came here and enamped, many things they did not know before, and it all should do them good. Dr. E. F. Harris, editor of the Mortar and Paste, a new thing, dropped into the Aer Bureau Monday, and said the Medical Association and the Pharmists will meet in Philadelphia August 28-30, the Memphis lynching having made a change of meeting place necessary. August 31 and September 1 they will hold a meeting in Philadelphia and Dr. Harris is a very enterprising young pharmacist and the June number of his publication promises to "fill a long felt want." Captain Edward L. Sylvester, Principal of Pinellas Institute, at Clearwater, Florida, who was last week designated from here by the Secretary of War to proceed to the Military Training, Camp, at Des Moines, Iowa, has had a fine career as an educator, and his recom-mendation for appointment Office were of the highest character. He is a Tuskegee graduate and proud of his Alma Mater and the equipment it gave him for the work of life. In a talk with your correspondent, he was enthusiastic in the possible work he would do, and felt that he could best serve in the Commissary Department, in which he always on the right track when he wants to serve in the work he knows most about.

THE NEW YORK AGE, boys—Salem and Honer—may well argue from the negative standpoint and contend that there is nothing in a name; for they are meeting with just as much success as stars of the Smarter Set Company as when leading luminaries of the Smart Set Company. Some may contend that shapping on an "let" could not make much difference, but, ere have been times when the changing of a syllable one way or the other has wrought havoc. But such is not the case with the brothers Whitney. The Smarter Set, which some day may become the "Smartest Set," thereby becoming a figure of speech in the superlative sense, is at the Lafayette Theatre this week and playing to large audiences at each performance. "How Newtown Prepared," is the title of the latest offering written by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Hohner Tutt. The dialogue is bright and contains a large number of full-grown laughs, and some of the musical numbers are worthy of a place in a Broadway musical production. Salem Tutt Whitney is at present the most prominent comedian appearing in a colored musical show, and as has been heretofore predicted in these columns, he is destined to attract general attention as a mirth-prowoker, being one of intelligence, a close student and fortunate to be endowed with a goodly supply of common sense. J. Honer Tutt continues to make an agreeable impression on the optic nerve, and his sartorial exhibition is such as to make him the envy of many Harlem, fashion plates. His work as a straight man is quite agreeable and he plays a big part in working up many of the humorous situations in which Salem Tutt Whitney prominently figures. Fannie Wise, the sweet soprano, is doing the principal solo work, creating the usual favorable impression. Others in the cast are Carrie King, Emma Jackson, Estelle Cash, Billie Younge. Sweetie Mag. Ora Dunlop, Alf F. Watts, James Gray, Alonzo Fenderson, Dave Liston and Mattie Lewis. Irvin C.

Marshall, Leader JACK JOHNSON A TOREADOR BARCELONA, SPAIN.—"I should worry" is the motif of Jack Johnson's life here as he enters on his second year in Spain, with the "pickings" every bit as good as they were when he first arrived. For nothing worries Jack now, since he is retired from the ring. Fat, the bugaboo of all pugilists, holds no fears for the bulky ex-champion, and war is to him only a subject of conversation. Money, the source of chief anxiety to most prize-fighters in their after years, is the least of Johnson's worries, as he has plenty and is adding daily to his pile. For Johnson's interest in Barcelona are diverse. In the first place, he is a traveler, working steadily three times a week and on holidays, and rapidly carving a place of endearment in the hearts of the tender Spainmints who delight in seeing worn-out horses disembowled by maddened bulls. Recently Johnson has added another string to his brow by becoming an editor. He has purchased an interest in a periodical published weekly in Spanish and devoted to Socialism and sports—strange bed-fellows, but forced into conjugacy by the merging of two publications. Long screeds in Spanish are printed in every issue over Johnson's flourishing signature, but he betrays intense modesty in discussing these articles, due according to some doubters, to the fact that he does not know what they contain. Skillful Toreador. Bilson is a prime favorite with the Barcelona people, who never weary of watching him in the hulking, and devices of bull fighting assert he has attained considerable skill as a treador. Also he continues a prime drawing card as a boxer and shadow boxer. Although he has not appeared in the squared ring for a couple of years, and declares to his friends he never will appear therein again, he continues to give training exhibitions' a couple of times a week, when for a few 'pesos the wide creedulous Spannards can watch him "working himself into conditions" for the match they implicitly believe he is training for The former champion skips the rope and punches the bag causing great astonishment at the finale when he pulls his old trick of striking a glancing blow and tearing the paskin hoose from the rope and sending it bouncing among the crowd just as he did at Keno before the leftries contest. Then he wrestles awhile and finally he boxes a couple of two-minute rounds. His opponent is either one of the colored men who are in his retinue here or some hunk who she believes he is a man. (Also he believes he loves Johnson has dispassed the hopes of a cool man at this class, and his continued ability to put these gentry away with a punch causes the people to think he is still chlammy insult timber. In Role of Moorish Chieftain At the recent fete for All Saints' Day here Johnson appeared garbled as a Moorish chieftain in a flowing white robe and urban and mounted on a prancing steed. He elicited more cheerfulness than any one else in line, and was one of the guests at the banquet given that night. He had a good deal of trouble in keeping the long fuzzy whiskers glued to his chin in place during the dinner, and finally took them off. As he picked up French during hisjourn in Paris, Johnson has had no desire to leave the converse freely enough in the shag common in Barcelona.

Johnson and his white wife live in a handsome house in the best and most exclusive part of Barcelona and recently, when he was having his home renovated and redecorated, they lived for a month at the best hotel in Barcelona. They are often there for dinner, and Johnson is a familiar figure in the supper room, where tango is the sport until daybreak. He never attempts to dance, however, and he limits his liquid refreshment to a few glasses of champagne. "Back to America?" echoed Johnson, in answer to an inquiry "Never for mine! I've done all the fighting I want to do, and fighting in the army doesn't appeal to me at all Barcelona is good enough for me." LANGFORD QUITS COLD; FULTON GETS·DECISION Boston, Mass.-Fred Fulton won over Sam Langford Tuesday night in six rounds. As the gong sounded for the beginning of the seventh Langford quit cold and refused to leave his corner. Fulton had had the better of the fight all the way, and there was not the slightest doubt that he was the better man. There was no excuse for Langford quitting like he did. Fulton towered head and shoulders over Langford, who was hog fat and manifestly ign no condition whatever for a real fight. The first round was about even, but the second showed the real course of events and made it perfectly clear that Langford could not stand up against his opponent. In the second Fulton put Langford down for a count of nine and if he had put any steam in his blows the fight would have been over then and there. Fulton, however, did not seem to be able to sham his opponent very hard, and although he had Sam in a bad way on several occasions he lacked the punch to end the battle. Sam could not get away from a left jab and the wallop that put him down off for the count in the second was a left to the jaw, which Fulton worked frequently. This blow in the second seemed to take the steam out of the Negro. The first round was Langford's best round and the crowd began to hope for a first class bout. The betting before the fight started was 8 to 10 on Fulton. In the second, however, Langford practiced, fell apart and only Fulton's lack of punch let him get away with for another round. Only once has Langford been floored for the full count. That was in 1903, when Danny Duane put Sam away. Tuesday night's but was another example of a fighter not in condition making some change without giving the public its money's worth. RALEIGH N. C. Raleigh, N. C.—Mrs. M. A.
