OPEN PRIVATE SCHOOL OLD 15TH IN LEAD O NEGROES WILL NOT SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Special to The New York Acq.) Wilson, N. C.—As the result a teacher in the Colored Graded white superintendent of Public months ago, the colored residents they are sending their children, educated at the public institution. The private school is chartered under the laws of North Carolina with two principals and seven teachers, and has an attendance of around two hundred and fifty. Less than a dozen children in the public school. The private school is being, maintained by the colored people of Wilson. The threat of several members of the local Board of Education to reinstate Prof. Reid, the former principal of the Colored Grade school, who was, present when Miss-Euell was slapped by Prof. Coon, and who is charged with being mainly responsible for the trouble, is still active. Of the few reasons a private school was opened. Self-respecting Negroes are unalterably opposed to the return of Reid as principal of the Colored Grade school. There is no question about the former principal being "in bad" with the colored people of this community. The Government classes of the public school. Taking exceptions to the unimpeded attack on Miss Euell, all the other teachers walked out. When the Government order to set back the time was made last spring, Miss Euell conducted her work in conjunction with Prof. Reid learned the truth. When Prof. Reid learned the truth, he been done he upbraided Miss Euell and then reported her to Prof. Coon. When instructed to report to the office of the Superintendent of Public Education Miss Euell, promptly did so. Then ensued a stormy scene between the white superintendent and the colored teacher with Reid looking on. The other people learned of the assault made upon Miss Euell and called both Coon and Reid to account. Reid was forced to resign, but he has been his utmost to get back. The colored people say they will not stand for either Reid or his wife being made principal of the Colored Grade school, and declare their willingness to maintain the private school and also pay the graded school taxes which they are assessed.

Huntsville, Tex.—Colored people for the first time in the history of Huntsville were asked to participate in a big demonstration which affected the public in general. A patriotic parade, celebrating the signing of the armistice by Germany, was held by the citizens here and the colored people, in common with all others, took an active part. Consternation reigned among members of the race because of invitations extended to colored people in a personal manner. Mrs. Bart Carter and Mrs. Sandler were called over the telephone by G. W. Wynne, director of the Gibbs National Bank, and informed that they were wanted to take part in the celebration. Likewise Prof. Dave Williams, principal of the colored graded school.

RAISE LARGE SUM IN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN Officials of the United War Work Campaign frankly confess that the excellent showing made by many Southern states in the big drive just ended was due in a large measure to big sums contributed by Negroes. In a number of communities they oversubscribed their respective quotas. Last Saturday Dr. John R. Mott, director general of the United War Work Campaign, received the following telegram from J. A. Talbert of Greenville ville county, South Carolina, have the honor to report that they have raised their United War Work Campaign quota of $13,200 in cash with coal-bank dollars—not a single white dollar. They are going after more. They lead both white and colored people in South Carolina campaign. The whole operations and individuals of Greenville ville are proud of Greenville Negroes and have contributed eighteen hundred white dollars in addition to the Negroes' fund. Total cash, $15,000. Dr. Mott sent the following telegram to Mr. Talbert: Dr. Mott of the National United War Work Campaign as well as personally, wish to convey to you and to all of the colored citizens of Greenville county who have united with you in raising the generous sum of thirteen thousand dollars in cash for the campaign, the expression of our most hearty congratulations and the expression of our deepest gratitude for your encouragement to will bring encouragement to the people everywhere. Word has been received in New York from Miss Lucy Hale Tapley, president of the Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., that pledges amounting to $1,379.10 have been met. This school is composed of girls only and about half are poor and obliged to work a part or all, of their board.

Haynes of the Bureau of Economics with Acting In An Arbitrary and High-handed Manner in Bringing About Her Dismissal. Special to The New York Am WASHINGTON, D. C.—The removal of Miss Jeannette Carter as chief of the colored section of the Housing Corporation, in the Department of Labor, at the instance of Dr. George E. Haynes, chief of the Bureau of Negro Economies, is said to be one of the most peculiar cases of its kind on record in the departments here. The facts in the case are as follows: Miss Carter was requested to call at the office of the Housing Corporation by Francis Mahoney about October 7, that she had the Housing Corporation had decided to have colored or division, as they had found it difficult to handle the colored housing problem. He asked Miss Carter if she would accept the position with an office and sufficient working force under her, with full responsibility in working out the problem. She accepted the position with a salary of $1,400 per annum. The woman was given satisfactorily performed the appointment. 21 Miss Carter was sent for by the person from whom she received the appointment and told that the Department of Labor had, through Assistant Secretary Louis F. 331 COLORED "Y" NOW ENGAG Fifty-five Y.

This work is not a hapazhark work, but has a definite purpose which is promoted by carefully selected specialties. We are trained to describe a staff organization which is responsible for the work in a building. It is composed of a building secretary, who is the executive; a religious work secretary, who has charge of the religious activities including personal work among the soldiers. Bible class secretary, who promotes lectures, educational classes and uses whatever means he may have at hand to encourage intellectual development; a physical secretary, who has charge of athletics and various activities for the physical welfare of the soldiers; works with military officers and is often made responsible for all of the physical activities in the camp; a social secretary, who promotes the social activities including entertainments, stunts and moving pictures; a business secretary, who keeps talons on stumps, stamps posts, and such supplies may be handled by the association and is held responsible for the proper accounting of finances. In every case these secretaries have been thoroughly and carefully investigated before being appointed and are required in good standing and are who are capable of commanding the respect of the soldiers with whom they work.

When the armistice was signed and the world war came to an abrupt close the colored fighters from New York, who are brigaded with the Seventh French Army, were in Thann, Alace. With the French and Senegalese, the colored Americans, were holding the town of Thann, which is in one of the last provinces won back by France from Germany after many years. Noble Hall, war correspondent of the New York Sun, in telling of the presence of the 15th and other troops in Thann, when it became known that Germany had surreachedays. "The whole valley was bedecked with British, French and American flags and filled with the joyous clanging of bells, which for four years had been rung only for the head. "The first people to cross the line were Alastian peasants carrying food and warm clothing to relatives but at 11 o'clock German troops began to come unarmed, pleading for tobacco. The men passed over No Man's Land without hindrance other than deep bells of barbed wire and an elaborate system of pitfalls, which made frontal attack impossible on this sector. "It took fully an hour of strenuous effort to cross the 800 yards which separated the lines. The Germans were either very old or very young troops and seemed well fed and warmly clothed, which was in marked contrast to the plight of the civilian people of Alace. The morale of the German troops was pittertit and they were as men without honor or sense of shame, and openly rejoiced that they had been beaten. Nothing mattered in their eyes so long as they had to fight no more. "At night star shells and rockets were sent up and the scene was like a fireworks display on a giant scale. Back of the American lines we heard that some of the German had refused to return to their own lines and were sent to the rear under guard. "All through reconquered Alsace the joy of the people was contagious and profoundly impressive. French officers said the people's faith had never wavered. French was spoken everywhere, all traces of Teutonic occupation had vanished and one looked in vain for even a tradesman's sign in German. If Alsace had not been truly French no such transformation would have been humanly possible." LIBERTY LOAN PAYMENTS NOW RECEIVED BY BANK Officials of the Chelsea Bank in Thirty-fourth street, announced this week that all subscribers to Fourth Liberty Bonds living in Harlem are cordially invited to make their payments at the Harlem branch of the institution, located at Seventh avenue and 135th street. This statement on the part of leading officials of the Chelsea Bank was found necessary owing to the disinclination beforeoften manifested by those connected with the Harlem branch to re-enforce their number of represented subscribers living in the district. As a rule Negroes were compelled to pay car fare and go to the Thirty-fourth street bank. Mrs. C. Maura recently had an embarrassing experience at the 135th street branch, where she was treated discourously. Then she visited the vice-president of the Chelsea Bank at his office in Thirty-fourth street and reported the incident. WILL MAKE FIGHT TO GIVE NEGRO BALLOT (Special to The New York Act) Washington, D.

As measure will be introduced apportioning the number of representatives in each State on the basis of the vote cast and not by population. That the bill can be put through there is no doubt, but whether it will ever become law depends on the attitude the That the clerks in the 135th street bank were rude to, colored people, who were told to go elsewhere and make payments on their subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan was in the nature of a disagreeable surprise to the bank officials, who immediately threatened Harley's policy, calculated to win the respect, and confidence of the colored people was not promptly inaugurated. SPENDS $10 IN HIS The Rew George Frazier Miller, pastor of St. Augustine's P. E. Church, Brooklyn, has filed his post-election statement with the clerk of the House of Representatives, showing that he received $10 and spent a similar amount to be elected to Congress from the Harlem District on the Socialist Party. The Miller says he received $10 on October 29, from Miss Florence Kelly and that it was transferred to the Socialist Party Campaign Committee of New York County.

WILL MAKE FIGHT TO GIVE NEGRO BALLOT WILL MAKE FIGHT TO GIVE NEGRO BALLOT (Special to The New York Acr.) Washington, D. C.—The practice long in vogue in the South of parcelling out Congress districts on the basis of population and then permitting only white men to vote is to be attacked by the Republicans the minute they assume control of the next Congress. A measure will be introduced apportioning the number of representatives in each State on the basis of the vote cast and not by population. That the bill can be put through there is no doubt, but whether it will ever become law depends on the attitude the President takes. The fact that the Negroes of the South were called upon to their part the war in the draft army and otherwise will be pressed by the Republicans as evidence of the feeling that they should receive the rights of citizens if they are to be called upon to perform the duties of citizens. It is certain that Southern members of Congress will make a bitter fight against the innovation. It would mean that instead of the big identification men in Congress from the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Virginia and Tennessee there would be probably one-quarter as many. 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL MEETS FOUL PLAY The body of sixteen-year-old Margaret Morton, colored, 20,137 street; was found Saturday in a vacant lot off Gerard avenue, the Bronx. The arms had been fastened behind the back with corset string and a rope was tied round the neck. A large stone lay on the head. Tracks of an automobile near the body led the police to believe it had been driven to the lot from the scene of the murder, which they believe was near One Hundred and Thirty-fifth and Lenox avenue. The body was identified by Mrs. Hattie Dixon, 20 W. 137th street, whose name and address had been found in a hat lying near the body. It makes our men feel good and gives them new spirit to know that such an organization as the Circle for Negro War Relief is behind them. May God bless the organization and the hands that hold the Circle around the 100,000 or more Negro soldiers over here. LIEUT.

"How Much More Rent Ought Tenant to Pay," is the title of an article by Mr. John Walker. Harrington in an August issue of the New York Times, which in a very exhaustive manner, occupying four columns, treats the subject both from the Landlord and Tenant, and from the on part of many real estate agents and, really, owners to profit unduly by reason of a war emergency, has given rise to wide, and in some cases unjustified complaints. The New York tenant is face to face with a lying problem, and in many instances is disposed to bring a blanket indemnity to Landlord, without due consideration. This is only too true when applied to the properties on West 141st and West 142nd streets, known as the Payton Apartments, the largest and finest houses in the world set aside for Negro tenancy. These properties, the last thing in apartments, represent an investment of one million five hundred thousand dollars, and to-day, could not be duplicated for less than two million dollars. When the Payton Apartments Corporation took these properties over in February, 1918, it was found that not only were the rentals far too low to make the property self-sustaining, but that there was not uniformity in the rentals, and that in a number of instances where one six room apartment was renting for $48 per month, the next door, and exactly alike, would be renting for $50, and still another $51. The same rule applies to all apartments not added to increase the rentals on the old tenants at that time, but to make a slight increase in the apartments to new tenants, thus giving the old tenants the benefit of the extremely low rental This plan was carried out until November-15, when the new schedule of rents went into offset. In establishing a uniform rate, some few, and very few, apartments were increased as much as $8 per month, and some as low as $1 per month, the average increase being $4 per month. But why this increase, or any increase, is the question asked at a meeting of the tenants a few days ago. The reason is found in the increased cost of operation. We will first take up the question of taxes. We are not going to offer the higher tax rate as a sole reason for increasing the rents, although, nevertheless, it is quite as item. The tax rate for rent is $2.62 on the hundred, year it is $2.36 on the hundred, meaning a difference in the Payton Apartments of $2366 a year. Now with regard to coal. H. Harrington, in discussing the coal end of it, says in part, "The Government fixes the price of coal at the mine and alongside in New York. It gives independent dealers, who have less facilities for rapid, and efficient handling of coal, the opportunities to charge $25 more on each such facility of the vein worked, the distance the coal is brought, which are considered in establishing the price. The Government permits the retail dealer to have $2.25 for handling the coal on its arrival in the city. This includes the yard charges, the delivery, and everything which is involved in bringing it to the cellar or sidewalk. There is a charge of $25 for putting the coal in the bins. Coal is costing the Landlord all told $10 a ton, nearly twice as much as paid before the beginning, of the European War. Wages of labor of all kinds have increased, which adds to the expenses of maintaining an apartment house. A representative firm estimates that the wages of labor, such as is employed about the average visitor apartment house, are $25 or $27 of our superintendents were $60 per month, including the use of an apartment in the basement. These salaries are-to be raised to $80 per month, an increase of 33% per cent.

Applicant wont—Write for terms. bought about the most abnormal conditions regarding labor. We could get it in two ways: inexperienced labor, although we had experienced labor prices, and as quickly as they became efficient, they would leave for the apartments down town, where the rents were such that would enable the landlord to pay higher wages. This was especially true with our telephone and elevator operators. We have no excuse to offer for the apartments not being warm and comfortable (if such is the case), as there is plenty of coal in the cellars. As to the cleanliness of the halls, etc., we have no problems with our tenants. Neither the management of the superintendents rip the paper from the walls, and do other acts practically amounting to vandalism. We want that there shall be a feeling of hearty cooperation between the tenants and ourselves. We have a proposition, a business, in itself, and we are ready and willing at any and all times to discuss with them, plans for the betterment of the service, care of the property, and anything that will be routine and advantage to all parties concerned.

It was an auspicious occasion, one which the older heads of the church had REV. ALBERT CARTER SANDER8 looked for unceasingly, causing conventionalities to be cast to the four winds; and pent-up enthusiasm, long lying 'dormant, took on a new lease of life. Too much credit can not be given the pastor, the Rev. Albert Carter Sanders, and his good wife, who have worked ardently to bring about the desired end. The Rev. Dr. Sanders was transferred from St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Cambridge, Mass, twenty-three months ago by Bishop Tyme and in less than two years has wiped out the entire indebtedness of the church.

Elzy, executive secretary of the Brooklyn branch of the Urban League, regarding the resignation of Mrs. W. F. Trotman from the Big Sister Club, her co-workers have issued the following in which it is charged that Mr. Elzy erred in setting fourth facts in the controversy: "Replying to the erroneous statement of the secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League in The New York Age of the 1920s, begging the Big Sister Club and its members of the club, would take the privilege of putting ourselves on record as follows: "Mr. Elzy, whose statement appeared in THE ACE, has held his position in the Urban League since last spring only, and was not connected to the initiative of the Brooklyn public when the Big Sisters was formed nor for many months thereafter. He does not know the conditions or the spirit that you would like to see in the city, and is not qualified to speak of these matters from his own actual knowledge "Some time ago when the Brooklyn office of the league was closed for want of funds and Mr. Paul Mowhray, the league's representative, was left with the burden of preventive and corrective work with the girls and girls, Trotman, with the aid of other volunteers, derided him valuable assistance in caring for more than thirty cases. A year later when the Brooklyn branch of the league was formed, the need of a continuance of the kind of assistance rendered Mr. Mowhray was strongly felt, and through the efforts and earnest solicitations of Mrs. Trotman, a group of women responded and under her leader's guidance in bringing in body to do that work gratuitously and, potentially, there-being no funds to pay a worker. "As several of the members were doing other welfare work, it was thought expedient to withdraw from the supervision of the 'Urban League and do work of a varied and general service, while continuing to serve the league as responded to by two-thirds of its membership, it was unanimously voted to proceed on independent lines. Of that action the Urban League was advised, but it did not take kindly to the idea and discouraged the thought of a separation. No agreement could be reached, and the club, in consequence, communicated with the league that on account of the action we were upon the matter would be unnecessary." "The final action of the league led to our president's resignation from the executive board. The statements that Mrs. Trotman resigned from the Big Sisters Club is erroneous and the further statement that she was requested to resign we hold to be malicious and criminal."

INSTITUTIONAL BAPTIST MISSION IS OPENED (Special to THE New York Ank.) NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The successful opening of the Institutional Baptist Mission Broad street at Lafayette gravelly hills, with the help of theople of New Haven. The opening of this mission is the result of vision and the great commission, "go," and the cry of the needy, "come," which appealed REV. H. G. HOOE. D. D. to the Rev B Conklin Woolfolk. The opening sermons were preached by the Rev. H. G. Ho e, pastor of Nazareth Baptist Church, Washington, Pa., of which Dr. Hove has been the successful pastor for eight years, and the Rev. Mr. Woolfolk is a member. Dr. Hove's sermons were convincingly and eloquently delivered. The white and colored people who had the good fortune to hear him declared they were classic. At 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Dr. Hove, for over an hour with profit and to the delight of all, plead with the eloquence of Paul to draw near to God. Strong men and women wept, acknowledging their fullness of sins and accepting Christ on His peace terms. Six were converted, eight reedicated and $81.26 realized. Dr. Hove arrived in New Haven Saxon School, 7 o'clock on Friday by Understaff Frank Baker in his limousine and taken to the residence of the Rev. Mr. Woolfolk. Monday afternoon a party composed of Dr. Ho e. Mr. and Mts. Baker and the Rev. Mr. Woodfolk were driven to points of interest in New Haven, the shore and the Country Club, where luncheon was served. Dr. Hove left Tuesday morning for Washington. Dr. Ho e-became pastor of the Nazareth Church years ago at a critical period of its history. He has proved himself a diplomat and today enjoys unbroken friendship and confidence. Under the pastorate of Dr. Ho e, Nazareth has been placed upon a sound base. It paid the entire expense of the Rev. Conklin Woodfolk until he was with honor from I Howard University; it has a young woman at Oberlin purchased a valuable piece of property and paid for it; it has bought $1,050 worth of Liberty bonds and paid cash for them; it has over $1,000, cash in bank.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.—With three afternoons and evening of real St. John's weather, which is synonomous for fair and pleasant, a large and well appointed vestry all beautifully decorated for the occasion, sixteen handsome booths, each ties, about fifteen hundred parishioners and visiting friends, the St. John's Church brought to a most successful seventeenth annual bazaar last Thursday evening, with a net profit of $2,61.58. To say that the Rev. Dr. William N. DeBryter, the pastor, and his cohort of workers, are jubilant over this success would be stating it but correctly, especially when there have been and are so numerous large demands for financial aid from all quarters. There were two outstanding features of the bazaar this year which have not been in any of the years past. No prizes were offered to the person doing the best work, yet, the result shows that all worked better, the Tithe Barn, the Church, the Mrs. Julia Warner, chairman turned in the largest amount of money; thus winning the banner title from "H," which has held it for fifteen years. The Circles reported the following cash 'sums': A. Mrs. Rosa Patterson, chairman, $161.27; B. Mrs. Julia Onell, $72.72; C. Mrs. Julia Warner, $368.31; D. Alexander Hughes, $134.57; E.

Alabama has had two"lynchings since the ‘proclamation of an armistice’ and North Carolina has had at least one and-an attempt at a second. ‘In this second outbreak of the mob, an effort appears to. have been made by the civil authorities of Winston-Salem to prevent the outrage upon law and order. y The consequence was’ the killing of five persons, two whites and three Negroes. Now the resumption of this de- fiance of the law and the courts, in the face of the earnest and stir- ring appeal made by the Presi- dent a few months ago, “is proof .that the habit,of resort to mob violence is too strong and too deeply rooted in Southern com- munities to be changed by purely moral suasion. What-the Presi- ‘dent said in August last applies| with equal pertinence tay: = No than who lofts America, no man who truly cares for her fame and honor and character, or ‘who is truly loyal to her institu- _ tions, can justify mob action while the courts of justice are open and the governments of the States and the nation are ready and able’ to do their duty. _ No stronger indictment of the character of the mob could ‘be drawn than this delivered by the Chief Magistrate of the nation. (fhe mob is, according to this, made up of those who hate Amer- iéa and are disloyal to her insti- tutions. Deaf to all restraint of law and justice, heedless' of the restrictive efforts of local author- jty, where that. dares to assert ‘itself, it needs the restraining force of Federal authority to curb its excesses. - _ The logic of the situation de- mands the passage of legislation in consonance with the Presi- dent's: pronouncement. The Dyer bill or similar legistation is need- ed. to. put an end to the reign of the mob. Local authority has proved itself unequal to thé task, even when willing to essay it, as in, this last instance in ‘North Caroling,.. . With the present assumption of ‘centralized authority by the Fed~ eral, Government, the time has come to put an end to mob vio- Jence. 6” . FOURTEEN ARTICLES. em hk Bee ws than'casual consideration is“due’ the answer submitted by Mri,.John R.’ Hawkins; to the _question raised a8 to the wants oF: ‘expeétations ‘of the ‘Negro.rac in América after the war,:whicl was printed in The Age last week Whilé disclaiming any authorit to. speak for’ the-twelve miltioi Negroes of this country, Mt Hawkins reduced -his reasorin; to fourteen specific articles as basis of democracy at-home Th thoroughness ‘with which th ground was covered may b judged by the headings of th specific articles: I. Universal Suffrage. . If, Better educational facili- tiea in the South for. Negroes. TIT. The abolition of thé so- - called “Jim Crow" car system. IV, Discontinuance of unjust discriminatory regulations and se- spregation in the various depart- . ments of ‘the government. V. The same military training for colored youthis as for white. VI.

Better jsanitary conditions in certain seétions of our tities and towns. XI. Reforms in the penal: in- + stitutions of the South. XI A fair and impactial trial by jury instead of lynching. XIli, Recognition of the Ne- .Bro’s right and fitness to sit on juries. " XIV. Fair play. How fully and comprehensiv: ly Mr. Hawkins has covered th situation remains to be decided b the votes of ‘those for whom h has spoken. But it must be cor ceded that all the subjects touche upon by him are of vital interes to the welfare ‘of the. race. Nearly two years ago The Ag published a resume of the cause of the migration movement the in progress from the South. Fror a eee scrutiny of the Negr pres of the South, the followin remedies were found to be a: signed as the strongest argument why the Negroes should not leay the’South: Increased wages; sug pression of mob law; fair trea ment; protection of person an property ; the right to vote; bette school advantages; better sanita tion and housing conditions. As‘all of these subjects hay been included and elaborated ii Mr. Hawkin’s fourteen article: we think the situation has bee! pretty exhaustively treated. thiere has been any specific omis sion, the fourtechth article callin, for fair play will gemedy the over sight. A careful reading and consid eration of Mr. Hawkin's article i to be desired on the part of both races. It should work for a mu ual understanding and a getting together on common ground where practical results may bi DEMOCRACY IN WAR WORK. Now that the United War Work Campaign, conducted by the sever allied relief organizations, is over and the Negro is credited with hay- ing contributed liberally to the fund, Trré Ace calls on the ¥. M.C. A. in, particular to accord the race fairer treatment. Like the Amer- ican Red Cross, there has been too much pandering on the part of the Y. M. C. A. to the narrow preju- dices and foolish whims of those who would construe the sending of colored men and women to France to do war work as an attempt to put the Negro on terms: of social equality. Pe Only three colored women have been permitted to go to France as canteen workers in Y. M.'C. A. huts, Not less than one hundred are needed to look after the thou- sands of colored troopers as no white-canteen worker can: Less than fifty colored Y. M. C. A. sec- retaries Have been sent overseas. There ought to be. many, many more. We ask Dr. John R. Mott and: his’ ‘associates’ why is not a real democracy astablished in the YOM. CA? +.

Tate rer ee car pe aN Cer pr eth fe Weem SOOM | eh eee ae Oa me ONT rs Se se eet outcome would have on the Negro in the United States.’ ' Ever since the United States entered the war many high hopes ‘have been expressed regarding the changes that “‘a war to make the world safe for dmocracy” and black men’s participation in the strug: gle would bring ‘about in:the status of the Negro as an American citizen. But, before the United States entered the war, two-years before, theecoriomic phase of thé-situation was being earnestly dis- cussed. . ; . : We all remember what a revolutionary change was wrought in the industrial condition of the Negro during the first few months of the war. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of: Southern colored men and women came North and found employment such as had, never before.been given to Negroes. .The American Negro suddenly came into his own in the industrial world; that is, in an infinitely gréater degree than ever béfore. Q We all remember the steady flow‘of our people from the South ]to the North and West which these industrial opportunities set in inotion. All of the clear-thinking mien and women of the race real- ized the tremendous advantages which would result from themove- ment; the dnly doubt in their minds arose from the question, “Can the Negro hold what he has gained when the war is over?” + As long as’ the war was in progress this question did not cause a great-deal of worry. Qpportunities opened up every day so fast and so wide that it seemed like borrowing trouble to spend time thinking about when they might be closed.- But now the war is over. Today the question, “Can the Negro hold the industrial adeeiees he has gained?” looms up big and demands immediate answer. It is now plain that'the Negro should have borrowed some trouble by thinking mote seriously about the time when the opportunities might be closed; and he should have made better preparations to meet the situation. . What new conditions will confront the Negro in the industrial world of the North in the coming months no one can tell. What new forces will be set in motion no one can forésee. Will the demobili- zation of the army oust oclored men from many of the places which they now hold? Will the alien laborer return and force the Negro out of the steel mills and railroad construction gangs? Will a greater tide of immigration than ever before set in from Eufope and drive ‘the Negro entirely out of competition in this: section of the ‘country ? ‘ a . Nobody but a prophet could answer.these questions, yet it is possible to make a-few reasonable forecasts. It is quite probable that colored women and girls who are now doing work which was hitherto limited exclusively to white women and girls will be the first to be affected. Miss Mary E. Jackson is making a study of the colored woman in industry, and she finds them engaged in almost !@very~sort of work. They are in garment factofies; shoe factories, button factories, paper box factories, knitting mills, chem- ical works, packing houses; they are employed in the manufacture of underwear, embroidery, corsets, feathers, flowers, furs, dolls and toys; candy; in fact, they have made an entry into almost every in- dustry in which it is possible for women to engage. : | The position of these colored women is precarious because those whose-places they filled were white women who were called to more’ preferable and bettér paid employment on account of the war. These white womien have not left the country nor have they been killed in battle; and now that the war is over and thousands of the dressy jobs of war workers and clerks and stenographers will soon be abolished, it is certain that these women will again seek their former jobs. The situation for tht colored women is rendered mote serious by the fact that these industrial jobs will also be les- seid by the close of the war. 5 The position of the colored men is not quite so ‘precarious. Most of the aliens who at the outbreak of the war left their jobs to join the colors of their native countries are dead or incapacitated for work. And the question of a great, returning tide of immigration {rom Europe to the United States is very problematical.” It may be that the rehabilitation of Europe will require all of the industrial workers and laborers available; and, perhaps, the European coun- tries will not only discourage emigration but in some measure pro- hibit it. On the other hand, the economic conditions in the coun- tries of Europe may be so hard on account of the exhaustion caused by the war that as many people as possible wifl leave and seek easier livelihoods inthe United States. a At any rate, this much is certain: the close of the war will re- duce the demand for workers’in many of the lines it which colored men are now engaged, and the demobilization of the army and some immigration will put a large number of white men in kecn com- ‘petition for the work which these colored men have been doing for the past two to three years., This competition has not yet been felt: colored men have been getting well paid employment for the mere asking, in many cases they did not even have to ask; now in the face of competition it remains to be scen if they can keep the: new foothold which they have gained. . -The, weakness for the race in the whole situation lies in the fact that colored men were given these jobs for the sole reason that white men could not be found to take them. Since this is true, the danger a ee ee ee ee committees. Tie AcE, upon in- vestigation, found out that these protests were justified. Only in one or two instances was tlie race represented in” responsible exec- utive positions. As a rulé the col- ored people were répresented by white people. . On thé question of proper repre- sentation we-do not hesitate to-say that the War Department Commis- sion on Training Camp’ Activities would be a greater agency for use- fulness to the colored soldier if such men as- Malcolm L, McBride would broaden out on the race question. : , Tne Ace directs the attention of the ¥. M,C. A. and allied organi- zations to some plain facts which cannot be.gotten away from. Col- ‘ored people want to be shown the same consideration and given the same recognition as other people. They did not draw, the line when asked to“contribute to the fund; they most emphatically ‘oppdse ‘the line being drawn against them in war work, - 5 be ee ee ee ee oe ee en on oo ee ee ee ‘them ‘thé’ colored men. will be thrown out.+ Those ‘of us who’ have been studyidg this question have also been hoping that during the progress of the war there would be worked out some sort ofjinclu- sive relationship between Negro labor and the recognized labor unions which would enable the colored: industrial to entrench him- ‘self and be protected; or that the Negro workers would develop a united strength of their own. Neither of these hopes have been fully, realized. “* 0 ” : A great deal may be expected from the action of the Govern- ment in giving consideration to Negro labor as a whole by accord- ing it representation in the Labor Department at Washington, and in appointing so able a man ag Dr. George E. Haynes for that purpose. Dr. Haynes has a tremendously important task before him, one that will call for skill, farsightedness and dogged deter- mination, and in which he cannot succeed without the cooperation of all whose‘ interests are ‘involved. But the main task for the moment’ is up to the Negro indus- trial himself. Heretofore, Negro workers in general have not placed a high enough value on a'Yob. I have known colored men to quit their jobs to go on an excursion or to “turn out” with their lodge This may be excused in part by the fact that they did not have jobs that were worth very much, and that they lived where it was an easy matter to get another-one just as good.. But that is not the situation to-day and in the Northy Northern manufacturers and employers of Tabor expect steady workmen; and not only steady workmen,.but ‘workmen who will do their job as well as it can be done. Colored workers have got to learn to stick to their job—that is; until they get a better one—and to doit just as well as anybody else, and even‘a little better. It is only by strictly adopting such a policy that the Negro can strengthen, his hold on-what he now has; a thing which he needs to do immediately. ’ , These new industrial opportunities and the migration from the South which they brought about have given the Negro many un- dreamed of advantages. Advantages which have been gained in the South as well as in the North. If he fails to hold on to these opportunities and has to return to the South and ask “Marse” John for the job so contemptuously thrown aside a year or two ago,’ may God help him. © ; Then let him clench his teeth and make up his mind that he is going to fight to hold what he has gained. And it is a fight that is as important and will require as much courage and stamina as any he has put upon the fields of France. : Before the first Negro migrated from the South The Age pre- dicted that there would be a migration. The Age pointed out that the War would give the Negro his first industrial opportunity in the North. And ever since the first few hundred hands were brought up to work on the Pennsyivania Railroad The Age has been em- phasizing the vital importance of the whole movement to the race, and has been calling for intelligent organization among colored workers. Nearly three. yeats ago we had an article in this column in which we asked “Where Is The Man?” The man with the vision, the wisdom and the power for organization to weld the Negro labor- ers and artisans coming North into a strong, self-protective body. We said at the time that such a man could write his name in history alongside the names of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Wash- ington. The man did not appear; but it is not yet entirely too late. Is there such a man? - THE WINSTON-SALEM “RIOT.” | - The despatches of the recent attempt at lynching Winston-Salem, N.

In the Winston-Salem affair several white persons were killed; that fact alone is going to make lynching less popular in that vicinity. If every time a mob went forth to lynch a Negro it was certain that some white peoplé were going to be killed, every white man in the mob would hesitate and say to himself: “It might be me. It might be me.” Lynching is such a popular amusement because everybody in the mob feels that nobody is in any danger of being hurt but the poor Negro. . There was another interesting phase of the Winston-Salem af- fair. Federal soldiers were called out to uphold the local authorities and the law. Here was mob violence coming under Federal power, the thing which so many’ people have been saying could not be done because it was unconstitutional. Well, in this case it has been done, and it seems to have worked very effectively. We are glad to see the stand taken by the Governor of North Carolina and the Mayor of Winston-Salem in this matter, and glad to see that their stand received the support of the Federal Govern- ment. 7 ‘A PUBLIC HOLIDAY FOR [ss by that single disloyalty to her WINSTON-SALEM, standards of Jaw and right than the New York Sun. words of her statesmen of the ‘sacri- There should be held in the city o Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, N.

The association has been able to, relieve the tension of this problem, and write their names. To be unable to sign the pfy roll causes unfold trouble. Never has such a powerful searchlight been turned on the intellectual assets of our country as this war has done. Men have been found in the camps but no one did right to the left and did not know their names. The military officers have besought the association to aid them in every way possible and in many cases have cooperated with the association by requiring lilieserates to attend chases at the school. Soon they learned to write their names, have actually shouted for joy over the new found power which at last had released them from the shackles of an oppressing ignorance. Speakers of both races have inspired the men and enlarged their vision and made them deacultate equipment have increased their talents by sober thinking along with purposeful programs of reading. The religious activities have not been less in importance. Hundreds of Bible classes have been maintained and religious meetings have purpose built. The special preaching. The best of both races have been able to give encouraging and helpful messages to the men, many of whom have had their faith strengthened; many others have for the first time in their lives accepted Jesus Christ as their God. It has been effort and the definite purpose to give a religious program which would fit into the lives of the men and enable them to go overseas and come back fit to look mother, wife, sister and sweetheart in the face as ashamed. The Homo Lift. The emphasis has been placed in this program upon life and speakers have been requested to avoid emphasizing death. The men in our camps are not afraid to die but they are anxious for help and are not willing to help them under the circumstances in which they have been placed to live a fit life and they have responded to these messages with alertness and profound appreciation. Many of them have also learned to serve their fellows and will invest asset back into civil life with them. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Although the training in the army camps is physical development in a very marked degree, yet there must be a recreational side or a man may become dull, sullen, and morose, and so the physical director has been able to minister to the physical needs of the men in a most helpful way. Baseball teams, football teams, all sorts of recreational games have been promoted; boxing has been taught which has proved to be an essential skill, as self-offensive as lectures and private talks on health and the protection of the body against the ravages of every form of vice. The social secretary has rendered no less a service than those mentioned above in providing fine programs for the entertainment of the men, in presenting interesting moving pictures, in relating the talent of various communities near by the camps to the needs of the men in the camps, a task which in the past would seem impossible but which is now easier to achieve easy under these circumstances for the people in the communities have been glad to serve and the men in the camps have not failed to give them great and appreciative audiences. Men of All Types Meet. The selective draft has brought together the most remarkable army the world has ever seen. Men of all grades from the most illiterate to the highly trained university graduate may be messing together, drilling side. by side daily as well as men who have lived in the same place of life to the same have been trained in the best Christian homes are thrown together in a common cause, wearing the same uniform, obeying the same orders, and in this great mass the social secretary has often discovered remarkable talent which has been able to provide entertainment for the soldiers in the camps and, at certain times, in the army. Great emphasis has been placed upon singing, and practically every social secretary has been a leader in this. To a group of our soldiers sing "Over There" and "Keep the Home Fires Burning" is to enjoy an experience never to be forgotten. Some noted singers have gone to sing for our boys have soon asked to listen to the listening kitten and thus reversing the plan of the entertainment almost in an instant. This staff of consecrated men is wielding an influence with the soldiers which cannot be fully described by words. These men have prevented many down-hearted recruits from deserting or committing suicide and have always been counselors and have had much to do with keeping up the fine morale of the men, the story of which will be fully told in due time. Helping the Illiterates Over There. The secretaries overseas have even a more conspicuous place in the service because they are at the very battle front, many of them with the soldiers on the front firing line. They have organized classes for the illiterates over there and in one instance the plan was so marked that it has been patterned after by the workmen who took over the colored secretaries in France are measuring up and others are needed to supplement their labors and at the present time fifty more splendid men are waiting for their passports. The letters of appreciation received from many of the soldiers for the service rendered by these faithful secretaries sound like a new edition of the Apostles and, not only France, the United States have secretaries in East Africa working with natives and British troops and their story is that of pioneers laying foundations as Christian statesmen for the ST.

One of these secretaries, returned to England on account of broken health and served in the head secretary in one of the Y. M. C. A. buildings in Calcutta for native and East Indian men and his service was most acceptable. Max Yergan, the first colored secretary to go out to that part of the world, was earnestly requested by the national secretary of India, a native, to remain with him and give his life to work among Indian students. welfare of the men in the camps here and overseas. The story of it all is not one for publication and never before has a man of our race been more ably supported by the very best men of both races in this great task. Associated with him has been Robert B. DeFrantz, secretary of the Des Moines camp and formerly the Mr. DeFrantz has given his time to recruiting and visiting the camps, having been in every camp of the country many times lending his aid and assistance to the colored secretaries and counseling with the white secretaries and oftimes officers, meeting personally the candidates for the secretaryship in many parts of the country, thus bringing back to the office the real conditions as they were on the HARRISBUH HARRISBURG, PA—The opening of the A. of Middletown, of w Stokees of Briggs street renovation of the church in progress for several tating the closing of it been completed and be held as usual.

Church, I Growth of Colored Men's Department. It will certainly be interesting to the public to know something of the machinery which has been necessary in promoting this unparalleled work among our boys in uniform. When war was declared by our country the Young Men's Christian Association was ready to enter this great service. One of its great and efficient departments, which had been built unjustly and persistent and with itself's purpose, was the college promoted the work for a half century among colored men and boys in America. Its greatest material growth has been in recent years as evidenced by the great buildings in many of our cities. Its great and effective work among our students, every institution of any consequence having its well organized association among men and boys; a loyal and forceful staff of international secretaries which has served the cause of the war effort in fighting with the one desire to help build real forceful and effective manhood—it was perfectly natural that the War Work Council would request this department to take the leadership in finding the secretaries who would promote this work among the draftees. The Washington office was made the center of operation; the staff largely increased and the most rigorous methods were used in the various cantonments. The responsibility of serving the soldiers and, at the same time properly represent the race and the nation, has ever been kept in view. At the beginning the War Work Council declared that the same thing done for white men would be done for colored men in the various cantonments and, while it has been difficult to carry the letter for many reasons, the tedious to mention here, nevertheless, the colored, man has come more nearly receiving a square deal in this instance than in anything else in the history of the country. Our secretaries have not failed to serve men of whatever race should come to their buildings and many of their homes. One recently was given a honey by the secretaries, all white with one exception, on the day of his leaving the camp. It is known to many that the services rendered by the association to the Officers Training Corps with making that camp such a wonderful success. From that time on it has been the frequent comment by those in position to know that the best association work done in many of the camps has been accomplished among colored troops. Dr. Moorland'a Best Day's Work. Dr. J. E. Moorland, senior secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the International Committee, would naturally be found at his post putting forth the claims and needs of the colored young men of the country with whom he has labored for many years. He regards this work as an important task on June 1, 1917, when he was granted a steward of secretaries and a tent for the desk at Des Moines. This was the beginning and at no time has this man failed to use his best judgment for the welfare of the men in the camps here and overseas. The story of it all is not one for publication and never before has a man of our race been more ably supported by the very best men of both races in this great task. Associated with him has been Robert B. Defrantz, secretary of the Des Moines formally secretary in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Defrantz has given his time to recruiting and visiting the camps, having been in every camp of the country many times lending his aid and assistance to the colored secretaries and counseling with the white secretaries and oftimes officers, meeting personally the candidates for the secretorship in many parts of the country, bringing to the office the real conditions as they were on the field that they might be intelligently and properly treated. William J. Faulkner is also associated with Dr. Moorland, giving his time to placing secretaries in the various cantonments as the telegraphic requests pour into the office. This requires great skill and no two men have worked together more harmoniously than DeFrantz and Faulkner, supplementing each other in the great tasks which have been placed upon them. The race and the nation owes these men a lasting debt of gratitude for they have not worked during office hours but nights and Sundays, and they have been putting in extra time otherwise that a service might be rendered to the boys away from home which could be given them in no other way. On Max Yergan's return from Africa he was also associated in the war work with Dr. Moorland, having special charge of recruiting men for overseas service. This service he rendered in a charge of recruiting men unit commissioned a chaplain October 1942, Wesley, a professor at Howard University, succeeded him and is carrying on the work in a most satisfactory way. Two specialists in the religious work have been added to the staff, J. Francis Gregory and George L. Johnson. Gregory, a missionary, heret, being captain of the baseball team, and more noted for his ability to present a forceful message to men, has been speaking to the men in the camps regarding their religious life, organizing Bible classes; and M. Johnson, formerly enor in the Williams Singers gospel He has composed a number of works for the soldiers, the most notable of which is "Over the Top with Jesus." The work of these two men as they travel together as brothers beloved can never be fully described. They work in perfect harmony and are so much in tune with the work that it seems they follow each other on the program almost automatically. The secretaries of the international staff have rendered every service possible which their very exacting work would allow and this is also true of the local secretaries in the various cities where they serve. The most notable case, Dr. George W. banis of Washington, having given up his practice and served for three months at Des Moines on his own expense and since that time has been serving as building secretary in one of our important buildings at Camp Meade. He is the only soldier beloved by the soldiers regardless of race and honored by the secretaries. The Student Army Training Corps has just made necessary the adding of another man, L. E. Graves, with headquarters in Atlanta, who will give his entire time to visiting the Student Army Training colleges in the southeast. The Y. M. C. A. has a considerable staff of colored men working together as a unit always with precision and accuracy proving to the world that Negroes are the leadership. The secretaries, both army and local, have served thousands of our troops on the trains and also have served on troops shins. HARRISBURG, PA. HARBISBURG, PA—Sunday will mark the opening of the A. M.

(Continued from Page One) Post, ordered that she be removed as manager of the section, although her work was entirely satisfactory, and that the section had been placed in the Bureau of Negro Economics. She saw Mr. Post on October 27, who disclaimed any knowledge of the creation of the colored housing section. It is charged that after the creation of the colored housing section by the Housing Corporation, which operates as a Department of Housing, Dr. Hannes insisted that the housing section belonged in the Bureau of Negro Economics. The department conceded this point. He then insisted that as he had not been consulted in the section, he insisted that the section that she be removed as such. The department conceded, that also. Miss Carter was then offered a position at $3.50 a day in the working forces she had created. She declined to accept the demotion in position and comma Dr. Haynes had a man of his selection appointed head of the section. While it is conceded on all hands that Dr. Haynes was within his rights in claiming that the colored, housing section should be in the Bureau of Negro Economics, but, having secured that much, intelligent people cannot be made to understand why Dr. Haynes should have treated Miss Carter as he did. FLORENCE, S. C. FLORENCE, S. C—Miss Clyde B. Mobley of Valdosta, Ga, passed through the city recently en route to Howard University, Washington, D. C.
