HOW 92ND DIVISION WENT ON GERMAN SOIL MAJOR SPENCER TELLS OF WORK OF 15TH REGIMENT Major Lorillard Spencer of New York, who was in command of the 3d Battalion until he was sent home recently with a severely wounded leg, told a reporter for the Evening World that no braver, no manlier regiment than the 15th was sent to Europe from the United States. He recounted many deeds of valor and praised the cheerfulness of his men while they were under the most severe strain of battle. At the same time Gov. Whitman re-pin was in his pocket. His name was evired a letter from Col. William Hay-Hamilton." EXTRA! BEST EDITED; BEST KNOWN VOL. XXXII. NO. 12. HOW 9 MAJOR S NEW YORK R LAID RAILS WITH EC Major Lorillard Spencer of New the 3d Battalion until he was sent wounded leg, told a reporter for the no manlier regiment than the 15th w States. He recounted many deeds of his men while they were und At the same time Gov. Whitman received a letter from Col. William Hayward, commander of the regiment, in which the colonel said regarding the regiment's valorous part in the offensive that began September 26: "We had everything happen to us which ever happened to a regiment and a lot of things we got for the first time, I'm sure. It was the most terrible experience, and yet perfectly fascinating and marvellous." Major Spencer, recounting some of the incidents that came, to mind, said that the French were amazed, as has been stated, at the work of the colored troops in laying railroad tracks. This was the first duty to which the regiment was assigned, the work being near one of the larger French ports. The French could not believe that the tracks were safe, so fast did the men work, and would not run their trains over them until they had assured themselves, that the tracks would bear up. The troops laid long stretches of track, buried them into alignment, gave some shape to the bolts and propped thinks, mile further down to repeat the performance. How a Gunner Followed Orders. "Speaking of the conduct of the troops," said Major Spencer, "I will give you an example of how explicitly they at all times obeyed orders. All machine gunners have instructions to hold fast to the pin that holds the ammunition box to the gun. In an engagement July 16 a gunner was carried back with both legs broken and suffering terribly. Before he lapsed into unconsciousness he indicated that the gun RECOGNITION WON IN ATLANTA WAR WORK (Special to The New York Age) ATLANTA, GA.—The great United War Work Campaign came to a close in Atlanta and the Southeastern Division with victory written large upon the banners of the workers although there was much to discourage and hamper the work. The campaign managers did not plan to have Negroes take any prominent part in directing and planning how best to reach our people, but our leaders insisted on a recognition of the forces that lead and direct the higher destinies of the race in this section. The Negro will have to be consulted more and more, if the cordial relations that all hope will grow stronger and more permanent, are to be realized. The wisdom of this contention has been more than demonstrated right here in Atlanta, to say nothing of the other cities and states in this division. When the campaign came to a close the Negroes or Atlanta had given $60,000 and counting the pledges of the six colleges located here the grand total goes over $5,000. These colleges made a brilliant showing. They raised the following amounts. Morehouse College, $1,600; Spellman Seminary, $1,374; Atata University, $850; Clark University, $500; Morris Brown University, $65.10; Gammon Theological Seminary, $32; making a total for these schools alone of $5,031.10. When Prof. B. T. Harvey of Morehouse College consented to take charge of the Victory Boys' and Girls' Campaign, just about two weeks before the campaign was to close, he was told that if Atlanta could get $500 it would be considered good, considering the short time in which he would have to work. To the surprise of all 2,651 Victory Boys and Girls had joined in Atlanta alone. He had associated with him a fine force of workers in the persons of Messrs. Lewis Foster, L. R. Lyons, A. F. Stewart, Miss Kennedy, Mrs. Marie Fitch and Mrs. Suttles. Te Agents and Correspondents. As Christmas and New Year's Day will fall on Wednesday, all news letters should be sent so as to reach THE AGE on the Monday preceding, so as to insure publication in the issues of these weeks. Major Spencer recalled another incident to show how cheerfully the colored troops conducted themselves and turned every occasion into something humorous. "An officer was passing two soldiers one night and heard them discussing the water and its inconveniences to men in shell holes," he said. "How are you going to keep the hole dry, with all this water?" asked one. "Why, when the bottom gets wet I'll just pull down a little from the walls, and when it gets wet again I'll pull down some more,' responded the other. "Yes,' the other said, 'but the trouble is, you'll soon be on top the hole and a fine shot for the Boches.'" Among the acts 'of bravery Major Spencer recalled was that of a telephone lieutenant, who dutifully barrage, went out apparently unconcerned seventeen different times to repair the lines to the major's headquarters. When the Mules Stampeded. Major Spencer is of the opinion that some of the colored troops were scared more than at any time in the trenches when mules that, were being used at night to haul guns into position stamped and came running back into the lines with more fury than an angry Fritz. When the men discovered that they were not being crushed they stopped breathing hard and hauled out the guns themselves. "The troops sang all the time," said Major Spencer. "They had a changet for track laying and devoted much of their recreation to singing Southern melodies and popular songs. All were cheerful, but they were determined, and were real soldiers." Major Spencer asked to be excused from commenting on, the probable number of casualties, saying he did not believe himself free to do so. He'd said he had received word from the other side that his battalion (the 3rd) stuck to the sight in the great attack of September 26 and that after the battle counted fewer men than a company. A battalion consists of 1,000 men and a company of approximately 250. Major Spencer added that numerous members of the battalion may have returned later. McADOO ON LIMIT TO RAIL EMPLOYMENT Director-General of Railroads McAdoo states that he was not aware of the order forbidding the extension of the employment of Negroes by the Northwestern railroads in certain capacities, and that he is looking into the matter. This information was given out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a telegram received in reply to the Association's protest against Regional Director R. H. Aishton's order, in which he instructed railroad management's of his district not to extend the employment of Negroes as firemen, hostlers, switchmen and brakemen beyond the practice heretofore existing and cautioned them against employing Negroes for this class of service not heretofore open to them nor to take the places of white men. Mr. McAdoo said: "Your telegram of the 29th was received while I was on an inspection trip of the railroads. I was not aware of the order to which you refer but I am looking into the matter and will advise you later." CAPTAIN MARSHALL OF THE OLD 15TH RETURNS FROM FRANCE Among the wounded officers who returned from France on the transport Sierra last Monday morning was Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, the first of the officers who went abroad with the old Fifteenth New York Infantry to reach this side again. THE URBAN LEAGUE MARKS SEVEN YEARS OF SOCIAL SERVICE British Labor Leader Speaks On Adjustment of Native African Problem-Women in Industry. A notable feature of the seventh annual meeting of the National Urban League, held at the Russell Sage Foundation building Wednesday of last week, was the address by Arthur Gleason, a member of the British Parliament and who is closely allied with the British Labor Party in England. In his outline of the spirit and the details of the program of this party, Mr. Gleason made the following reference to the problem presented in the conditions on the African continent arising out of the war: "British labor is becoming the national party, the unifying thing in the national community. It is on the problem of the division of Africa that practically every political party has fallen down. One of the best summaries of that recently made by Mr. Amos Pinchot shows a comparison of the map of Africa during the year 1815 when the whole continent was almost black, meaning that Africa was still in the hands of the native population. The trade records had not yet begun. Let us now turn to the same map of in 1914, which is utterly changed. Now, in Africa, with the exception of Liberia, there is not an area unoccupied by European powers. The British problems have started in the territory which she rules. Now the test of any party is this, can it face earnestly and fairly this problem of the weaker nation of the countries that is ripe for exploitation for the development of the human race. The answer of the British Labor Party is clear and honest, and I believe that a great party in Europe has met this issue and meets it on a high level. "Let us support our President in his endeavor to make the world safe for democracy. Get behind him as did the British Labor Party from the very first minute he brought out his fourteen points, and stand with him in his attempt to bring about international order. "Finally I want to leave with you the sense that there is a new-consciousness of the human race in Europe. Their agony has altered their conception of human life, and they have the desire to make equality prevail—to do away with the little groups of power, with the little divisions that made inequality; and that new spirit in England is working out its machinery and when it is perfected we shall have at last a true (Continued on Second Page) TO INTEREST PUBLIC IN RACE LITERATURE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PHILADELPHIA, PA.

(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Greensboro, N. C.—The closing of the Army Training Camp at the A. and T. College was made the occasion by Governor Bickett of North Carolina of the expression of his belief that the Negro should have a square deal, and the declaration that he should, so far as his office was concerned, dutifully his administration. In his address he declared that justice to all the people was his policy. he referred to the fear of some white people of German intrigue and the use of German money among Negroes to the detriment of their country, but stated that he had so much confidence in the race that he issued a proclamation testifying to the Negro's loyalty and declared that they had more than sustained his action. This as well as many other points was interrupted with long aplause. The closing of the camp was fittingly celebrated by soldiers and citizens. Athletic sports were the principal feature of the morning program. At 2 p.m. the dress-parade of the soldiers was excellent, at the close of which the governor and his distinguished party reviewed the troops. Lieut. J. E. Grigsby, commanding officer, was in charge. President Dudley Praises Discipline. At the close of the parade both soldiers and citizens assembled in chapel, which was filled to its capacity. After singing several patriotic songs, President Dudley came forward and briefly reviewed the work of the camp with special reference to the discipline. Among other things he said that we were very much pleased to have these soldiers come and regretted equally as much to see them go. He stated that the unsettled conditions and reorganization of the college work had greatly hampered the institution, but that the happy end he felt was worth the sacrifice. He spoke of the splendid relations between the races in this city and how he had impressed this fact upon each detachment of soldiers, each of which had carefully heeded his counsel to the delight of both races. J. E. Lathum, who was asked to present the governor, affirmed all that President Dudley had said with reference to the racial relations in this city and further substantiated it by message of kindly greeting and good wishes to the Negro soldiers from the white people of Greensboro. He referred to their splendid deportation on the streets and the excellent impression they had made among the white citizens. In presenting the governor, he stated that he was the governor of all the people of North Carolina, and the governor in his address, which was entirely in keeping with his previous record in this state, firmly substantiated all that Mr. Lathum said. He appeared to be in fine spirit and expressed himself as being much delighted to fill this engagement. He spoke also of the cheerfulness with which the Negro had responded to the call of his country and of the heroism displayed by them on the front, especially that of Lieut. Campbell, a member of the college faculty, who was awarded the war cross for heroic service. He then read a letter from a (Continued on Second Page) the late Judge Miflin W.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT DENIED SLEEPING CAR (Wilderforce, Ohio.—President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University has made a strong protest to the Railroad Administration against the abomination of the "Jim Crow" car system. The Administration takes refuge in a general way behind the state statutes, that provide for separate cars, but at the same time pronounces in favor of "adequate accommodation for both white and colored passengers." The correspondence, which will be found quite suggestive, is given below. President Scarborough wrote to Director-General William G. McAdoo as follows. My dear Sir: The way colored people have to ride in the South is absolutely shocking. The "Jim Crow" system is an abomination. I am writing to you because I am sure that you do not approve of it. I am sure that so far as possible you will lend the weight of your great influence to bring about a change in this respect. I cannot believe that our great government that now controls these roads approves of this treatment. The Negro went into this war with all the patriotism that one could have and is fighting with the courage and bravery of the best for democracy. Yet he is humiliated, especially on roads that pass through our Southern country. Only on rare cases can he get a berth in a sleeping car. Not long ago, while in Nashville, the writer of this letter tried to get a berth to Cincinnati, but failed on account of his color, and yet at the same time this man was doing all in his power to help the War Department get the best in his race for the officers' training camps and for service over seas. The government controls the roads and this condition should not exist. You must know, my dear sir, that I felt humiliated and greatly embarrassed. Others like myself, holding similar positions, and who represent the best in our life, have been likewise humiliated. I am writing to beg relief from such embarrassment, and I believe that you, as railroad director, will lend a hand to change conditions. The reply to the above letter, signed by Ballard Dunn, Assistant Actuary, was as follows: Mr. McAdoo has referred to me for attention your letter of November 7, in which you complain about the so-called "Jim Crow" system. In reply, I beg to advise that the railroad administration is obeying laws, of the several states with reference to separate accommodations for colored and white patrons. If these laws are objectionable to you, your remedy is with the state legislatures, over which the railroad administration has no control. It is hardly necessary, I presume, to say to you that the courts have upheld these state statutes. The jurisdiction of the railroad administration ends when it provides adequate accommodations for both white and colored passengers, so far as it is possible to do so under existing wartime conditions. No railroad may practice discrimination. As there is no specific charge of discrimination in your letter I feel that I am not in a position to help you in your campaign against the so-called "Jim Crow" system. If at any time you have definite information about the mistreatment of a passenger I would be very glad to have the case investigated. Somewhere in France, November 10.—In the battle raging today in the American advance towards Metz, the 92nd Division, one of the colored-combatant divisions over here, played a big role. Not only was its black infantry and machine gun units up at the front—in the thickest of it, but its artillery, the 167th Brigade of field artillery, was on the line, behaving like veterans, laying down a barrage for the infantry that was marvelously effective, and they established a reputation which has been made by but few, among French, British or Americans, of laying down a barrage that did not entrap, and fatally so, their own men. This has been a glorious day for the black soldiers. The fighting is still on, and I have just received the intimation that the casualty toll may be heavy, depressingly so, for Metz, and the sector around about it, is strongly fortified by the Germans, and resistance determined. Metz is considered by experts to be the strongest fortified city in the world, almost, if not so, as impregnable as the fortifications of the Dardanelles. But the Americans are hammering away at it, and only the signing of the armistice terms, by the Germans, by eleven o'clock to-morrow, will save Metz from falling. Even as it is, colored soldiers are now on Germar soil. The husky invaders include the colored soldiers of the 92nd Division, embracing the "Buffaloes" or 367th, the 365th and the 366th regiments of Infantry and the 167th Brigade of Field Artillery, composed of the 349, 350th and 351st regiments and the 317th Trench Mortar Battery, and all are conducting themselves with a fortitude and valor that have won for them high praise from their commanding officers every time they have been put to any test. railroad conveniences were neither available nor desirable. Wounds Fail to Blot Out Humor. Two more stories have come to me to prove that our colored soldiers preserve and radiate their humor even where shells and shrapnel fly thickest. A colored soldier slightly wounded in the Argonne fighting, and let me assure my readers there was "some" fighting there, sat down beside the road to wait for a chance to ride to the field hospital. A comrade hastening forward to his place in line, and anxious for the latest news of the progressing battle, asked the wounded brother if he had been in the fight; did he know, all about it, and how were things at the front. "I sure do know all about it," the wounded man replied. "Well, what's happened to them?" quickly asked the trooper on his way to the front. "Well, it was this way," replied the wounded man replied, "I was climbing over some barbed wire wintry" to get to them—d n Boches, and they shot me; that's Freight Cars Look Like "Pullmans." To many of our people back in the "States" who saw our boys embark on fine American railroad coaches and Pullman sleepers to cover the first lap of their hoped-for pilgrimage to Berlin, the coaches they must ride in over here would arouse a mild protest. I stood at the station at Vierzon, one of France's many quaint old towns, recently, and saw a long train of freight cars roll in, enroute to some point further distant. In these cars, with but a limited number of boxes to sit upon, and just the floors to stand upon, were crowded some one thousand of our own colored soldiers from the "States." But a jollier crowd never rode through American cities in Pullman sleepers and diners than these one thousand colored troopers. They accepted passage on these rude box freight cars cheerfully, for they knew they were now in war, and palace cars, downy coaches and the usual American MOTON'S PRESE MOTON'S PRESENCE IN FRANCE By Cable to The Age.

Macomb, commanding Gamp Greene, Mayor McNinch, several army officers and prominent citizens who stood in the reviewing-stand at the City Hall, where the flags of the allied nations were displayed. The colored citizens showed great appreciation and loyalty to the 3,500 well trained men as they paraded the city. It was the first regiment of colored soldiers to parade Charlotte and army officers declare that they marched like old "Regulars." These men will return to civil life probably within two weeks.

Two more stories have come to me to prove that our colored soldiers preserve and radiate their humor even where shells and shrapnel fly thickest. A colored soldier slightly wounded in the Argome fighting—and let me assure my readers there was "some" fighting there—sat down beside the road to wait for a chance to ride to the field hospital. A comrade hastening forward to his place in line, and anxious for the latest news of the progressing battle, asked the wounded brother if he had been in the fight; did he know, all about it, and how were things going at the front.

"Well, it was this way," replied the wounded fellow, "I was climbing over some barbed wire tryin' to get to them d—n Boches, and they shot me; that's what I knows about it." A company water cart was following the advancing troops when a German shell burst in the ditch almost beside the cart. The horse on the shell side was killed, and the driver was wounded in the head. While the blood ran freely from his wound down his face, the driver took one look at the wreckage, then started stumbling back along the road. A white lenientant who had seen it all stopped the driver of the cart, and said: "The dressing station is ——" Before he could finish his sentence, the wounded driver, with the blood flowing in rivulets down his face, said: "Dressing station hell! I'm looking for another horse to hitch to that cart to take the place of the one that shell put out of commission." That was a bit of nerve, grim humor, and evidence of fidelity to duty. A mere wound in the head could not stop this driver from keeping up with the troops with a needed supply of water. ENCE IN FRANCE To The Age. of Dr. Robert Russa Moton in significance.

DIRECTOR HAYNES ON CHANGES IN RELATION OF OUR WAGE EARNERS --- "The Effect of War Conditions on Negro Labor" was one of the subjects discussed at the Reconstruction Conference held by the American Academy of Political Science at the Hotel Astor. This organization is connected with Columbia University and among the speakers were Secretary of Labor Wilson, ex-President Taft, Charles M. Schwab, Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director of Woman in Industry Service; Felix Frankfort, assistant labor administrator. The subject of Negro labor was taken up in an address by Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor, for a seminar in 1932 that the subject then divided into three main parts: (1) The change in the relation of Negro wage-earners to white employers, North and South; (2) the change in the relation of Negro wage-earners to white workers; (3) the change in the Negro himself. Wherever there has been such intelligent guidance that the first experience of the Northern employer, in making trial of Negro workers, has been satisfactory to him and wherever there has been intelligent guidance for Negro workers, the experiment has been successful. Without such intelligent direction, employers have given up the trial as a hopeless experiment. In the case of Negro migration North, the speaker said that after Negro migration North had developed there was a considerable increase in war demands for the building of cantonments and munitions plants in the South, a shortage of labor in the South followed inevitably. Out of this shortage of labor arose a revivalation of Negro labor. Further, this migration to the North and the consequent changes under war conditions brought home to the mind of the rank and file of the Negroes things means the laberty for one to move at will from place to place and to change his job when it is to his advantage to do so. Again it should be emphasized that the efforts of the Department of Labor to adjust the relations of white employers and Negro wage earners in the South during the unusual war conditions have been largely experimental, but the experiment has been successful beyond the most sanguine expectation. The experiment has established beyond question the practicability, North and South of the plan of wage earners of Negro wage earners meet the representatives of white employers in co-operative committees, and conferences. He has demonstrated that such meetings can achieve substantial results in adjusting the local labor problems which changing conditions and relations have produced. Another effect of the war upon Negro labor has been to open up a wider range of occupations, in the North especially. For instance, in Detroit, Mich., in 1914 there were probably not a thousand Negroes in the factories of Detroit, the mobile centre. The latest report from Detroit about two months ago stated that probably about sixteen or seventeen thousand are now engaged in the industries of that city. During the past two years the speaker has visited many States, both North and South, and has taken special pains to talk with all classes of Negro workers both in industry and agriculture. This canvass of opinion has been among Negroes working on the construction of porters, hackmen, farmers, plantation fengats, farm hands, tradesmen, business men, ministers, doctors, lawyers and housewives. The main object of such a canvass has been to learn from these people what constitutes the essential things which the great majority of them consider they should have as the outcome of this war and their part in it. They have a fine experience work and to hold it on the same conditions and with the same pay as other workers. Secondly, there is a widespread desire for education of all kinds. In the third place, there is a united desire for the removal of race discrimination in public courts and in public $25 Course for $5.00 Be a Hair Drusser, Scarf & Skin Speciesist We make you look classy, professional.

Box 482, Washington, D.C. conveysness, and provision in city and country for the same facilities of community improvement for them as for other folks. The fourth thing so generally desired by Negro workers can probably be best expressed in the words of an unlettered Negro tenant farmer in Southern State, who had to position business man presiding over a meeting; the men wants to help say who governs us! As soon as the sentence was uttered the Negro part of the audience re-echoed it in resounding applause. This same sentiment is expressed in various ways by Negro workers in country and city wherever one is able to find out what they really think. In a word they have a deep consciousness of government by the consent of the governed; they are asking that they may be taken into all public places of the commonwealth and of the nation where their interests are involved. (Special to THE NEW York Act) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—At a meeting of the Philadelphia Branch of the Sons of North Carolina, held last week in their hall, it was voted unanimously that a commission of American colored men to face to voice (at the World's Peace Conference) the colony's share in the Democracy, which his sword and purse helped to bring to the world.

THE URBAN LEAGUE MARKS 7 YEARS (Continued from Second Page) social order, a system of brotherhood where you and I will feel at home" Doors of Opportunity Opened. The chairman of the league, L. Hollingsworth Wood, presided at the night session. In his opening remarks he stated. "I like to think of this past year as one in which so many doors of opportunity have opened into which the colored men of our nation have entered to the sufficiency, hopes and beauty of spirit that we may well beward to the future with a spirit of continued hopefulness. But yet we realize that problems such as never have faced the world before are immediately knocking at our doors, and to many of us it seems a perfectly unchartered sea upon which we are about to embark and only a few guiding principles upon which we can know on what road to travel. We feel that the great things we experience relationships and that the human spirit and its aspirations are the controlling factors. "You all know about the work the league has been trying to do in its short history; that we should have had material growth from a budget of $2,000 a few short years ago to the present. We have grown our branches spends over $100,000 in the work it is carrying out; that we have grown to organizations with employed secretaries in seventeen different cities and thirty or more others affiliated with us. We feel that we have principally been involved in the colored citizens—men, women and children—to each other throughout the country." A Plea for Right Thinking. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, in his remarks, said: "The labor question is like the tariff—it is always with us. We will always have this maladjustment of rich and poor, of the strong and the weak, until we get the right doctrine in the minds and hearts of conscientious men, and if we pass does not do this, then the case seems almost hopeless from the human viewpoint. The sum in the end is just as it ever will be: That our program, political, economic, social, as the outgrowth of our thinking, and let us think right. Abraham Lincoln says 'that the government of the people, by the people of the people, shall not grow from the earth' Wilson says 'Let us fight for the democratizing of the world, so that the world will be a safe place for democracy.' "We have a place for every man and woman to assert and exert himself to the full measure of his power, of his capacity. Nature has so ordered that people who remain together will always effect a satisfactory adjustment of the world. And as the world needs to do, to observe the watchword, 'Rightsiness exalteth a nation, but 'sin is not reproach to any people.'" James Weldon Johnson, who followed, said in part: "What we are looking forward today is to, economic reconstruction. Everywhere I talk, I am talking, of the program of the British labor problem, be it the need to work part in this reconstruction. The Importance of Labor," by Arthur Henderson, is published in this country at fifty cents per copy. If I had the money I would buy copies of it and would send it to every colored minister of the United States and ask him to make it clear to his people and I think he will be far better and more beneficial than doctrine of St. Paul to the Fheushes." Mrs. Lillian A. Turner, assistant to the executive secretary, in discussing the colored women in industry, said: "I feel reasonably sure women will 'remain in industry'; first, because white women are going to retain, in a large degree, the positions which they have received, and because of which the Negro women are given the chance. In the next place, reports from manufacturers, the counts of girls and girls old and good. I am more interested in discussing the possible advances that colored women may make in industry. We can help them by seeking for them better positions and better pay—positions in such factories as will give them 'hope on the job':—positions that will carry with them opportunities for seeking decent housing and proper recreation, such as will be the means of increasing efficiency—mental, moral and physical." The meeting closed with open discussions with the supervisor of Negro Economies for New Jersey, under the United States Department of Labor, and Dr. George Frazier Miller, rector St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, participated. "Results" the Slogan of League. The executive secretary, in his annual report, said in part: "In prosecuting our work for the year we have tried to look far ahead to the future—ganging our stand on issues and finding fairness in the light of possibilities and justice. 'Results' has been our slogan throughout whenever effort has been expended—whether it was the publication of a news article, attendance at a conference, organization of a meeting, or the need to some person or agency that might help in adjusting matters."

THE RED CROSS DRIVE, SE ere ee the head of the American: Red Cross, has asked every American to enroll in the Red Cross during the Christmas roll call; which is to run from December 16 to 23. This appeal should meet with’ a hearty response among all Ameficans, and especially among Negro Americans. * Not.that the Red C?oss has met all the just expectations of the racé in the way of fair play and equal recognition, but personal and racial grievances, however well founded, shduld be subordinated to the’ fur- therance of the noble work it is doing. . >It will be better for the members of the race to be inside this great organization, where they can co- operate with the largo number of liberal and broad-minded-—whife members in placing its policy on the genuine basis of true democracy, and frge it from the taint of race prejudice-that crops out every now and then in its administration. -_ The general participation of the Negro in war work of all kinds, ne fullest extent permitted, has t’been without its value in gain- ing recognition and respect even among those at first loth to accord either. We are told that the good work-done by the Negroes of At- Janta in the last drive for united war work has resulted in a fuller recognition of the capacity of the race to furnish its own leaders and sustain them in their efforts. The same capacity was demonstrated in) "North Carolina, where the Negroes oversubscribed their allotments; and ran ahead of the whites in certain sections. Let us join in the Red Cross ‘drive and enroll in its membership, as‘it embraces all colors in its work of relief. We may help to broaden its policy, so as to afford all yomen the full measure of its educational éourses and the inclusion of our competent colored nurses among those sent to care for our soldiers in France. Hasten the day by enrolling in the drive. LET US BE SPECIFIC. “ One point has been clearly brought in the correspondence con- sequent upon complaints sub- imitted to the Director General of Railroads against the abomination ‘of the “Jim Crow” system, as Presi- dent Scarborough so justifiably puts it. That point is that the Rail- road Administration is not in a po- “sition, and will not endeavor to put itself in position, to help in a campaign against that system. ~ But the Railroad Administration has placed itself upon record as recognizing its duty to provide ade- quate accommodation for both white and colored . passengérs. That the accommodation now pro- vided colored passengers is far from adequate is a matter capable of proof, if those who have endured its, hardships would submit their ‘complaints in the form of specific information, giving the names of roads-and the details of the treat- ment and. accommodations, or rather lack ‘of .sccommodations, forced upon them, F200 7 . , The officials, of’ the Railroad Ad. sniniatrasion’ baie, behead to; ya ry cua okie teed ent ten passetiger investigated, Wwith'a' yiew to’ providing! the ddequate ‘accom> modation that .it stresses as de to every ‘passenger, of what- ever, race or color.’ Let ‘the, next protest.or complaint deal, only with specific instances of such mistreat- ment, or the’ deliberate failure to provide-the decencies, which should Ibe embraced in the term of “ade- quate accémmodiation.” - + Incidentally, it might, be main- tained that President Scarborough’s letter presented a specific instance lof the failure to provide the ade- quate accommodation that the Rail- road Administration declares itself aq favoring. The ‘failure to pro- vide sleeping accommodation for a passenger of his character and po- sition certainly indicates a lack of adequate accommodation. If the ‘state Inw prevented.his occupying a berth in the sleeper attached to the train in question,‘in common with white passengers, another sleeping coach sHould Have been attached to the train. Let the Railroad .Ad- ministration be consistent and in- sist on the provision of the “ade- quate “accommodation” that it stands for. ©. . Let us didp the general denun- ciation of the “Jim Crow” system for the time and try the effect of being, specific. , Give the Railroad Administration la chance to make good. TWO VIEWS OF LABOR. One of the articles on the pro gram of the British Labor Party the greatest political power amon; workers in the world today, is th matter of self-government in indus try. As defined by Mr. Arthu Gleason, one of the leaders of thi party, this self-government by th workers was developed as follows In the old days, and those days are very old, industry was an auto- cratic thing, run by a “boss” at the top—by a man who spoke of the works as his own plant. To him labor was a commodity, a thing that could be bought and sis But England learned, under WSF con- ditions, that labor is a human’ value, and you get the most pro- duction when you treat it as a hu- man value; and: under the suppres- sion of War it has been worked out as a human industry, Inside the shop the people sit as a human power with the miners in working out the condi.ions of the factory. Step by step the’ workers are con- sidered a part of the developing ca- pacity. The British Government who has sought to institute these work shop committees, has had more productive results, and has found that the committes, instead of creatifig trouble and friction, fill the workers with interest, and jus- tice is given to each worker. When new devices are brought into the factories, the worker is allowed to enter the room, and it is shown to him what output will be, and what his wages will be in relation to the alded production, If he. je-not sat= isfied- with the work he is to do in that capacity, he has the power to call the rest of the committee to sit with the workers and determine a new line o° work. It has been found that the worker does better work if he is treated as an equal. Production measures up and the old trouble disappears.” Something of the same sort of dea is indicated in a brochure en- itled ‘Brotherhood’ of Men and Jations,” by Mr, John D. Rocke- eller, Jr., in which he claims that abor and Capital are partners vith-common interests. He argues urther: O Neither can attain the fullest per- manent measure of success unless the other does also, and the unnat- ural conditions, namely, the absence of contact between owner and em- ployee, must be made as nearly nor- mal as possible by: the establish- ment of personal relations between the owners, represented by the offi- gers, and the employees, represent ing ‘certain of their fellow workers whom they themselves have chosen, This is a recognition of the prin- iple of representation, but it does ot go the length that the British abor leaders have demanded and pparently obtainel, The significant eature of Mr. Rockefeller’s views that as one of the greatest em- loyers of laber in America he per- eives and frecly admits the neces- ity of admitting Labor to at least partnership in the enterprise, Vhether this partial concession will atisfy the growing appctite of La- or for power, remains to be seen, That the broader vision attained y the Rockefeller interests in more scent dealings with their em- joyees has done away with much f:the friction’ that formerly pre- niled, is evident to those who have dpibied 5 the” Shindard Olt indus. we date sh ATI Seagate Nagi ae sa aA hiss areca el GS A ERA ts “VIEWS and.REVIEWS JAMES - W.. JOHNSON, Corremcrng Becren | w 10) SR a SN a ee a ee The colored people of the United States are naturally proud of ‘the record of their own soldiers in the.war. We know that 300,000 ‘of our own boys were among tliose who made the world safe for democracy, - ‘ ' "Because so many of our own boys fought the fight for democ- racy for the world, we as a race, are more determined than ever to see that our own ‘country is not slighted in its share of the newly wan freedom for men, ~ t But in our pride and determination we must not overlook the part played by colored men from other parts of the world, If the United States is indebted to its colored fighters, England and France ate equally, if not more indebted to their colored soldiers. | ‘The French record shows that 800,000 of her troops were col- ored men; the British record shows that 1,161,800 troops in the British army were colored men. . “ Colored men all over the world feel pretty suré as to how France will pay her debt. How will England pay hers? How will the United States pay hers? ~ . FREEDOM OF THE SEAS. ° _ ihe delegates who are going to the peace conicrence with real peace in their minds are not"going to have an entirely peaceful time of it. Lo « The forces that stand for the old order are making themselves felt. Great pressure will be brought to have the conference settle this war as all other wars have been settled; that is, for the diplomats to get together and sign a secret treaty which does nothing more than levy indemnities and change the political boundaries of various countries. Of course, Germany's boundaries are going to be changed, she is certain to lose Alsace and Lorraine; and it is also certain that she will have to pay forthe damage wrought in Belgium and northern France, But from some quarters the claim is being made. that the Allied nations should be indemnified for what the war cost them! at the same time, a clamor is coming from these same quarters that all German manufactured goods should be boycotted for a period of seven years. The war costs of the Allied nations, excluding the United States, would exceed one hundred billion dollars; it is some problem in higher arithmetic to figure out how Germany could eke pay such a sum, especially if not allowed to sell her gootts. | Perhaps the greatest jar to the peace of the peace conference ill come out of the question of the freedorn of the seas. Winston Churchill last week riade the following statement in London: | “We shall enter the Peace Conference with the absolute determina- tion that no limitation shall be imposed on our right to maifitain naval * defence," he said. > - » ‘ _ “No matter what appeals are addrossed: to us we do not intend to lend ourselves in any way to restrictions which will prevent the navy . from maintaining its well deserved superiority on the seas.” * To an unbiased mind the question naturally arisc8, “What is the difference between preponderating force on sea and preponderating force on. land?” To such a mind it would seem that there is more moral sanction for a great army than for a great navy; for whereas, a nation has a right*o protect its homeland, its right to dominate the seas, which belong to.no nation, is doubtful. As a man might be Justified in defending his own home by the most violent force, ‘but would not be justified in using that force on the public streets. The reply is that England is an island power, and can protect herself only by a navy. Still, if no other power haga great navy, it is hard to sce why England should worry. . President Wilson has sounded the true note. Ie has said that every nation at the peace table must be prepared to sacrifice some- thing. It will be only through a spirit of that kind that the results of the conference will be of any enduring benefit. . MORE ON THE LABOR QUESTION, er from the Rev. George Frazier Miller, pub brings us back to the labor qugstion. 1ot feel that there is need of any apology fo tion; for it is as vital as any other questio e, we do not yet realize fully enough that for, equal manhood and citizenship rights The letter from the Rev. George Frazier Miller, published in last week's Age, brings us back to the labor question. We do not feel that there is need of any apology for goitig back to that question; for it is as vital as any other question before the Negro. . : As a race, we do not yet realize fully enough that the things we are fighting for, equal manhood ahd citizenship rights, are deeply involved in our economic status. In order to make real progress, both these fronts must move forward together. They cannot be definitely separated. We must learn to fight for and guard our economic advantages just as we do our civil and political rights. - Now, it ig a mistake to emphasize economic advancement over civil and political progress. It is a mistake to preach the doctrine that if the Negro will only get money, all his manhood and citizen- ship rights will be automatically accorded to him; that has been demonstrated to be false, It is possible thatthe Negro might be- come very rich in America, and yet be denied his full rights. On the other hand, it is not at all probable that he will be accorded his full rights so long as he remains the Lazarus at the nation's table, Money will not of itself bring full rights, but progress towards the enjoyment of full rights must be backed up and reenforced by econ- omic power, : Mr. Miller’s'letter referred to the article in tlis column a couple of weeks ago on the situation of the colored waiters in New York. In that article we said that the white waiters were almost as short- sighted as the colored waiters; that if they would lay aside prejudice, take the colored waiters into the union and work side by side with them, there would be no skilled men to take their places when they made demands on their employers. The writer had doubts as to how such a proposition would strike the white waiters. Mr. Miller's letter clears up the doubt on that point. He had the opportunity séveral weeks ago of addressing 2,500 of the-striking white waiters, and, among other things, he said to them: _ = ‘ : “Work erate mth inc men and make ap dation I he | <ifanks of labor. 89 long as your fellow. workmen arg upright, clean, and. sna oeoaeg Jane Aa Foes elo aroriesen arose, clean, and exploiters of labor, to create, or to maintain, a division in ‘the ranks of* labor, Inbor itself ought to recognize the wisdom of solidarity without ” regard to race, color, creed or nationality.” . My Mr, Miller says that this statement was received with thunder- ous applause. ‘The fact that the white waiters greeted this sentiment with applause is proof that the presgat moment is a good one for some constructive effort on the part of the colored waiters, Let them take advantage of' the present condition and feeling to entrench them- selves firmly in the hotels and restaurants of New York. This steady and lucrative employment is now’ almost, entirely, in the hands of aliens; the colored American waiters are entitled toa fair share of it. Now it scems that there is a chance to get it. “Just a few mtoré words on the subject in general, We wish there were more colored ministers like Mr.'Miller. More of them who would make a study of practical, present-day questions and. teach the people what they learn. aS A great deal has been said and written about the Negro’s part in the coming reconstruction. The difficulty is that the great mass of the race does not know what the reeonstruction is about. ‘The reconstruction which the masses throughout the world are thinking of and planning for to-day is not political reconstruction, but economic reconstruction. They have come to learn from bitter experience that no matter which set of rascals hold the political job’, the men who hold the laboring jobs are no better off. They have ‘ome to realize that the only way to change their condition is to: revolutionize the’ economic system; to sce, to it that labor be no longer a mere commodity to be bought in the market, but that the laborer be a partner in production. They realize that better wages and better hours and better working conditions are only makeshifts ; that the secure bepegrment of their condition can come only through making labor an.¢qual asset with capital to be pooled in the partner- ship 6f production, : : ‘This, of course, is merely a rudimentary statement of the econ- omic problem, which. the workers of the world are to-day trying to solve. But the great mass of colored American workers know nothing of this economic problem even in a rudimentary way. Their ignorance is excusable; there are very few to teach them, and they have had no practical means of becoming familiar with it. And not only the masses of the race arc ignorant of it; very few of the educated classes and leaders know anything about it. The education of most of those who are looked to as race leaders has been almost wholly of the old classical school, “small .Latin and less Greek”; very few of them have made a serious study, in school or out ot school, of scientific, economic and social questions. And so it is that the great majority of the race’s public speakers on the plat- form and in the pulpit are still pounding esa rhetorical speeches, Aailing around among the beautiful clouds, and filling illimitable space with an, outpour of windy words, What is sorely tieeded is to have those who: help to shape the thought and opinion of the race, first to learn something themselves about the forces and facts in the world of to-day, then to try and give that something in a clear and simple way to those whom they have the privilege of teaching. They may with profit to themselves and the rest of us give less time to what Socrates said and what Julius Caesar did, and pay raore attention to what is being said and done by the men who are now making and moulding the conditions under which we must live. _ There is a little hook by Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader, called “The Aims of Labor.” It contains the A. B. C. of the econonfic problem which the working people of the world are to-dat trying to solve, _It also contains the “Program of the British Labor Party on Reconstruction," the most truly democratic utterance that has come out of the war; and we say this while taking into consid- eration all that has been said by President Wilson, Lloyd George and the other statesmen of the world. This little book can be ob- tained for fifty cents, If all of the intelligent colored ministers and public speakers in the country would read this little book through three times, then preach and explain its meaning whenever they had opportunity, the light of what is going on in the big world of present- day realities would begin to daWn on the minds of the great mass of the race. We repeat that the Negro can take no real part in the recon- struction that is going on unless he knows what the reconstruction is} about. He cannot expect to take part in the solution of,the present cconomic problem unless he knows the rules by which it is being || worked out. a | WAS IT ONLY CAMOUFLAGE? | ENJOYS THE EDITORIALS. : WAS TT ONLY CAMOUFLAGE?

THE CITATION OF THE OLD 18TH, (Philadelphia Evening Bulletin) Among the honors which France has bestowed apon Ainerican soldié?s none is more interesting than the “citation” by which the entire 369th Regiment is given the coveted Croix de Guerre or War Cross, This regiment was composed wholly of colored troops, although the higher officers were white men of long military experience, Originally a New York wnit its recruits came from many States. The citation is for gallantry in the September and October offensive in the Champagne sector, and while it deals in considerable detail with the valor of particular officers, % praises the courage and: tenacity of the whole regiment, which suffered heavy losses. Only a few’ regiments have received such distinction, for the French are chary about distribu- ting honors lest they become cheap, The incident illustrates the lack of racial prejudice in the French. It has. been said that.in the first year of the war France ‘would have been defeated had it not been for the services—largely volun tary—of African troops, who rushed to her aid and displayed prodigies of valor, They broke the German line and reached the ‘open but, lacking support, had to, retire, : ‘American colored troops have done thelr whole duty in this war.

THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY DECEMBER 14, 1814 MEANING OF TUSKEGEE PORTRAYED IN LIFE AND SERVICE OF ITS FOUNDER (Special to The New York Anu.) TUSKEGEE, Ala.—The following address on the life of Dr. Booker T. Washington was delivered in the Institute Chapel Sunday evening, November 10, by his successor as principal, Dr. Robert Russa Moton: Three years ago, today, in the midst of the quiet of an early Tuskegee Sabbath morning, amidst surroundings he THE NEW YORKER THE LATE DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON THE LATE DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON himself had made, surrounded by family, friends and people whom he loved most and who loved him most; his coworkers, his students, his family, and in the beautiful Tuskegee atmosphere which he himself had created, Dr. Washington passed out from among us. I am not referring to him to-night because of anything that I can say, or any tribute that I can pay that will add to our experience. I am rather that yup and I through his wonderful life of service to his fellowmen here in this place; that you and I from that life might catch inspiration and renew our own consecration to duty and service to our fellowmen, even, as he consecrated himself to the service of humanity. He was not particular either whether that humanity was white or black. Naturally his interest centered on the people he served in backward race than most other races in this country and needed him most, and because he could perhaps serve them better. I wonder sometimes fellow workers, students and friends; those of us who have the honor and privilege and satisfaction of working here at Tuskegee Institute, when things do not go to suit us as is frequently the case, and we are inlined to complain and find fault as perhaps we have reason for doing; sometimes when we pass to and fro through these grounds and buildings, and no doubt admire as we frequently do the magnificence of the place; I want to think, as I think, what all of this means; what all of this institution represents; these grounds, buildings and teachers; this large body of students. What does it mean? What are they here for? Not by accident certainly. Not mere ornaments, surely! I wonder do we think of the blood and treasure; of the yearnings and heartache, the prayers, the suffering and sacrifice that have gone into the making; into the establishment and upkeep of these buildings, these grounds, this Institute. I wonder how the suffering and sacrifice that have gone into what it all means. If it makes on our minds and hearts the deep and lasting impression which it ought to make; if we are more earnest, sincere, genuine because of it all. When Dr. Washington came here in 1881 and not started very far from this spot in a little church, a school with a few pupils and himself as teacher; nothing particularly promising in itself, no prospects of fame, certainly not of money in those days, there must have been days of doubts and many misgivings, and some shadows. He was at Hampton Institute, Secretary to General Armstrong, a position which in those days was an honor for a colored man or a white man—to be Secretary to General Armstrong, who was founder of the Hampton Institute, and who had been an officer in the Union Army. It was indeed an honor. Dr. Washington loved him as his own father. He was pleasantly situated at Hampton, which was beautiful even in those days. It was very pleasant to look out over the waters and enjoy that beautiful campus and its buildings, and to be asked to give up Hampton, to be asked to give up its poor land and in a great many ways uninviting surroundings. To give it up and come down to launch in work for his own race, proved the vision and hope of Booker T. Washington. There was no honor in store in coming as a worker then, and yet he left Hampton and undertook it. He felt the call to go out into the land that he would afterward receive as an infrifence, as did Abraham of old. Not witnessing exactly whether he was going, he knew there was uppermost his mind and his business. I serve? Can I be of good service to my race and country? Can I lighten the burden of five or six millions of people here in America? Can I cement more cordial, more sympathetic, more helpful relations between white and black men by going to Alabama? That was the thought that actuated, permeated and constrained and led Booker T. Washington in 1881 to come down in Alabama to serve in a larger way than the men he would be. Though all the sacrifices that he made he steadily before him—"This one thing I do." He showed great wisdom in selecting the people that he gathered about him to help in this work, throughout all the years here: people of equal de- ```markdown ``` votion and loyalty to the cause and equal desire to help and serve. Man after man and woman came at his command, as to the Master by the Sea of Galllee who saw the fishermen, James and John and He said "Follow Me," and they left their nets and followed Him; and He then saw Matthew and said "Follow Me," and he left the town of Tuskegee to see what that is what they have done; what the workers of Tuskegee have done through all these years. They have followed Dr. Washington from every part of the country down to Tuskegee; not that it was so pleasant, so attractive, not seemingly prosperous as to-day. There was not so much to be thankful for in those early days perhaps, indeed not so much to be of service to their people. I think of Mr. Logan always modest, always retiring, teaching school up in Maryland, and after Dr. Washington had been here two years, he wrote Mr. Logan and asked him to give up his work in Maryland and come down to Tuskegee. Dr. Washington put every dollar he had into this work. There was no money to buy it, and I read in "Up From Slavery" he pawned his watch and put it into the brickyard, and then when Mr. Logan came he asked him if he had any money. "Just seventy-five dollars that I have saved up," was his reply. "Let me have it to put in this work," asked Dr. Washington, and he borrowed it and put it in this work here, and through the years he had been able to afford others who are stood loyally by Mr. Washington and are standing loyally by Tuskegee Institute in what it is trying to do even to this day. Is it worth while to have such patience and such courage and such fortitude and such loyalty as was exhibited by Dr. Washington? Does it pay us to think about things of that kind? He was a man of great courage. People who did not know him did not think him courageous. Some people who did not know him did not know him. I know what I am talking about. I had the pleasure of knowing him intimately for something like thirty years, and I know of many instances when a timid man would not have faced what he faced. Dr. Washington faced squarely anything, if it gave him a chance to help his race. You, most of you know the story of his experience in the Cotton States Invasion, before the Cotton Exposition, and where he delivered one of the few wonderful addresses that the world has listened to, and how when the civilized world was applauding him, and when he was appointed on the Committee oi Awards a few days later and went down to meet the Committee, you know the story how the Janitor, who is a people cannot be written in this building writers?" In what a wonderful way he controlled himself when he faced this humiliating situation. A cowardly man would have rushed into the newspapers, but he showed his courage, patience, good sense and Christ-like spirit. He just sat quietly by and wrote a note to the Chairman of the Committee and said: "There is a rule that does not appear in a case where the entitlement to the award as an emblem I am therefore sorry I cannot complain, just a plain statement of facts. You know the results. And then a few years later, when the Atlanta riots were at their height and people did not know what would happen. Booker Washington caught the first train, and so it was in Atlanta, a colored man so tall in Atlanta, if he could he serve there, wanted to be there. He went to Atlanta and simply, patiently, quiet, got together such men as Governor Northern, Dr. Proctor and other leading colored men and leading white men and you know how effectively the PORO COLLEGE BUILDING ST.

It was Booker Washington; the man of patience, the man of courage, the man of faith in his own race, faith in the white race, in the North, in the South, in himself and in God. Is there anything better worth doing young people than the giving of our lives in useful service? There is nothing more worth while than to give yourselves to the service of your fellowmen. It does not make any difference to whom. Crownns and throne may perish and will—they are perishable. Selfishness must perish. Only virtue must perish. Love is forever live forever. Love that suffereth long and is kind, it not puffed up, vaunteth not itself'; love will never, fail, and love, permeated Booker Washington, controlled, directed and guided him in all of the great work God permitted him to do for you and for me; for our country—for humanity.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—There was much interest in the meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association meeting last Tuesday because the future of the association was to be discussed. The membership drive, which has been in progress, resulted in recruiting the membership by some 400, the members promising to continue their efforts. The splendid work which the association has accomplished in its long years of service was discussed at length by Dean George W. Cook of Howard University and T. Thomas Fortune. The subject was further discussed by Mr. Maxfield and Maurice W. Spencer, President Finkett is a widewake executive and is being assisted in his efforts to increase the effectiveness and usefulness of the literary. At a special meeting of the executive committee of the National Race Congress, of which the Rev. W. H.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—A very pretty wedding ceremony took place Saturday evening at 8 o'clock when Miss Halloween Saunders and James H. Jones were married at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Edward Lane, 237 Walnut street. The ceremony was performed by Dr. G. R. Waller of the Third Church, of which the bride is a member.

The bride was given away in her in-law, and Lane, Mrs. Ivy Sheen, gave "Oh! Promise Me." The wedding march from Lohengnir was played by Miss Ruth Johnson, accompanied on the violin by Miss Hortense Phrame.

THOMAS, Frozen 213 West 83rd St. New York THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS OF THE ACTORS --- The trials and triumphs of, the theatrical profession are always full of human interest, perhaps because of the old saying that all the world's a stage, upon which each individual has his part to play. Therefore the recital of the victory gained by a certain class of players may not be without its value as a lesson and a stimulus to those among the race who appear before the footlights, as well as of interest to those who look and listen on the other side of them. A prominent dramatic critic recently pronounced this a victory year for the actors as well as for the army. The occasion of this pronouncement was the meeting of some 600 players at the Astor Hotel, where they added a pledge to the so-called Actors' Equity contract, by the terms of which any actor who signs it agrees to refuse work under any other contract or forfeit $1,000 and submit to having his services enjoined. The conditions that led to this proceeding are set forth as follows: It may sound funny to the average theatre follower to speak of the actor as an abused worker in the field. But as a matter of fact, despite the high salaries the leaders of his profession have been paid, he has very frequently been treated badly. Before the Actors' Equity Association was formed conditions of employment in the theatre were going rapidly from bad to worse. The players who had been giving six and eight weeks to free rehearsals were gradually being forced to extend the time to ten and twelve weeks. Often they were held from accepting other engagements for two months at the beginning of a season, when the jobs were being given out, and then peremptorily discharged with not the slightest chance to recover either salary or another job. If they got through rehearsals and the play failed, they found themselves out of work again with a third of their earning-period gone and nothing but the landlady's reminders that they were in arrears for board to show for it. Actresses, in those old, unfair days, often spent their savings for the wardrobe they would need in the play for which they had been engaged, and were then notified that a change the author had made in the play cut out the part they were going to play, and they would have to look for another place. If a company stranded on the road and there was but a little money left in the treasury, the musicians and the stage hands, the baggage men and the executive force got it, and the actors, because they easy were left to get back to New York as best they could. Managers, as a rule, did not intend to be so unfair. Many were not. Others were simply following a custom that represented to them the line of least resistance. The actors were afraid to protest, and custom became a tradition. Then about four years ago came the Actors' Equity with a new kind of give and take proposition. They did not attempt to form a union; they did not try to browbeat the managers into an indorsement of their organization. They merely proposed a series of get-together meetings. They drew up a contract that they thought was fair to both manager and actor. They presented it to the managers and talked it over with them. Certain demands they modified, certain others they expanded. Finally the equity contract was evolved and adopted. By its terms the period of free rehearsals is limited to four weeks for a dramatic production and six for a musical play or extravaganza. After that half salaries are paid. Ten extra holiday matinees are played free, the others are paid for. The manager is privileged to lay his company off the week before Christmas and Holy Week, and pay no salaries, but if he plays he must pay. The actress who is paid less than $150 a week is not obliged to furnish her own wardrobe, and any dispute that arises between employer and employee is settled by arbitration. The contract, because the managers have acknowledged it to be a fair contract, has generally been accepted, but there were some actors who, though members of the association, were not demanding that it be used. Certain managers, resenting, as many employers do resent, being forced into any sort of compact with their employees, were dodging its use, even when they were willing to abide by its terms. Then came the proposal to add the members' pledge and the forfeit of $1,000, plus injunction proceedings Which makes it possible for the actor to explain to the manager who would engage him that he would be a most unprofitable investment under any but an equity contract—seeing that it not only would cost him money, but also his job, for he would not be allowed to play under any other agreement. A little common sense, backed by a sense of fairness, always has and always will put an effective quietus to injustice, and the actors are to be congratulated, both on the same methods they have employed in their campaign and the honest victory they have won. And the managers are to be congratulated on having admitted it. MME. MARIE BARRIER HOUSTON ```markdown ``` Who appeared at Manhattan Casino with "Our Colored Soldiers" "OFFICER 666". AT THE Sensation of the season will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre when "Officer 666" is produced in the near future. It is safe to say that the theatre goers of Harlem will enjoy, for the first time this season, the one real comedy that has made New York sit up and take notice. "Officer 666" is a series of surprises, built on legitimate comedy lines, and so far away from the ordinary comedy that has been supplied the public for years, that it is a most refreshing and decided innovation. The story of a young millionaire's trotter who returns home to find his bachelor quarter occupied by a burglar. Not satisfied with having appropriated the millionaire's name and getting himself engaged to a pretty society girl on the strength of it, the intruder is rapidly disposing of a fine collection of paintings. This is the situation when the curtain goes up on the first act. How the real millionaire regains possession of his home and name, and how he eventually wins the heart and hand of the sweet young thing who has plighted her troth to an impostor is left to the telling of the players. In working out the story of the play the rich young man induces a policeman on his block to lend him his uniform, and while he is masquerading as a copper to catch the burglar, the real officer becomes the millionaire's cook. The burglar, in the meantime, is allowed to continue in possession of the bachelor's quarters, but is eventually trapped, and compelled to return his plunder. DETT AND WEINSTEIN AT TURKEGEE. TUSKEGEE ALA—R. Nathainiel Dett, Director Musical Department, Hampton Institute and Max Weinstein are paying a visit to Tuskegee Institute, after attending a musical conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Weinstein was asked by Acting Principal Warren Logan to "take charge" of the singing in the Institute-Chapel, Friday evening. He let the soldiers and the audience in some of the popular songs and in one of the Negro melodies. His enthusiasm and vigor were contagious and he soon had the audience heartily responding to his guidance. Mr. Weinstein is traveling all over the country, visiting the camps, especially where Negro troops are quartered, teaching them to sing some of the old Negro melodies, and awakening an interest in them through the correct interpretation of the same. Mr. Dett spoke in the Chapel and taught a Negro melody to the audience, after which he played a composition of Blind Boone's and was requested to play a selection from his own composition—"In the Bottoms Suite," which he executed admirably and was applauded very vigorously.

MELROSE FAILED TO MEET To the Sporting Editor New York By means of the same meet through which the St. Christophe made the announcement for its ball game with the Melrose Orange, N. J., on Dec. 5, at M Casino, it now takes this opportunity express its sincere regrets for the of the Melrose team to appear. In absolutely good faith Rushford Lord of St. C. agr Manager Percy Ballard of the four games of basketball was played at Douglas Auditorium, on last Thanksgiving between the Melrose Sharpshoots the St. Christopher Tigers. Mercedes, vaudeville headliner, has scored a success on the Liberty Circuit. He is at present playing his third engagement for the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, and is drawing larger audiences' than before. The ability of a play on its merits was demonstrated with great success recently when "The Kiss Burglar," sans costumes and sans scenery, which had been delayed at a distant railway station, gave its opening performance in the Liberty Theatre at Camp Devers and won enthusiastic applause from a capacity audience. Besides the attractions which are booked for the Liberty Circuit by the Commission on Training Camp Activities, often arrangements are made for individual performances at various camps. Thus Tamaki Miura, the Japanese prime donna of the Chicago Opera Association, gave a delightful recital at Camp Grant on Thanksgiving day. Charles Coburn and his company, will give their services for a special performance of "The Delicate Oat" at Camp Upton, on Sunday, December 15. Special performances also are frequently staged by visiting companies for the convalescent patients in the base hospitals. JOS. H. DOUGLAS PLAYS AT PETERBURG. PETERSBURG, VA—Prof. Joseph H.

MELROSE FAILED TO MEET ST. C. To the Sporting Editor New York Age: By means of the same newspapers through which the St. Christopher Club made the announcement for its basketball game with the Melrose A. C. of Orange, N. J., on Dec. 5, at Manhattan Casino, it now takes this opportunity to express its sincere regrets for the failure of the Melrose team to appear. In absolutely good faith Manager Rushford Lord of St. C. agreed with Manager Percy Ballard of the Melrose for four games of basketball. The first was played at Douglas Auditorium, East Orange, on last Thanksgiving Giving, between the Melrose Sharpshooters and the St. Christopher Tigers, resulting in St. Christopher winning. The second was to have been played at Manhattan Casino Dec. 5th. The Melrose team failed to appear for this game. To this date Manager Ballard has not communicated with Manager Lord, or the St. Christopher Club concerning his non-appearance. From a legal point of view, Melrose's failure to appear with resulting contingencies constitutes a broken contract, which is a subject for action at law. Beyond the legal aspect we feel that Manager Ballard owes the basketball public an explanation for his actions, which have no parallel in big New York basketball. Although he has offered no explanation whatever to St. Christopher, we do hope that Melrose will see the wisdom of being more considerate with the public. ATHLETIC COUNCIL. ST. CHRISTOPHER CLUB. GEORGE D. SMITH, Chairman ALPHA-ST. C. NEW YEAR'S AFTERNOON New Year's afternoon Alpha "Big Five" will line up against St. Christopher "Red and Black Machine" at Manhattan casino. This will be the first meeting between these two teams this season and is sure to be a game that will be up to the standard. Last season St. C. won the first and Alpha won the second. This year they are both out to win both games. ST. CHRISTOPHER TO GIVE CHRISTMAS MATINEE. The popular St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's parish will open the holiday season with its mutual Christmas afternoon basketball game and dance at Manhattan Casino. Manager Lord is to be congratulated for the basketball offering for the afternoon. No two more evenly matched quintets could be found than the Spartan "Hornets" and the St. Christopher "Tigers". These teams really play clean, hard, fast and scientific basketball. Capt. "Jimmy" Ross of the Spartan is an excellent shot and leader, and Capt. Fiall of St. C. is one of the best players the game has yet produced. An elaborate souvenir program score-book, which will have among its many features, a very hands and convenient dance order, is being prepared. There will be but one game and that at two o'clock sharp. St. C's famous cheer leader, Charlie Garland and Sammie Holmes promise many new treats. Tracey Cooper's famous New Amsterdam orchestra will play real dance music.

New Year's Afternoon ALPHA "BIG FIVE" vs. ST. CHRISTOPHER N OU Within the past decade Negro athletes have made an enviable reputation in A. A. U. circles as sprinters. Ever since the late John B. Taylor showed his heels to a half-dozen crack sprinters in establishing the intercollegiate mark of 47 4-5 seconds for the double furlong back in 1909, our race has always had representatives who could hold their own in duels of speed with the world's best. In this specialty the Salem-Crescent A. C. with such sterling performers as "Bunk" Jones, Roy Morse and Pete White, has perhaps excelled every other colored club. Other champions of remarkable brilliance include "Jimmie" Ravenell of St. Christopher, Sol. Butler, Burwell and Howard Drew. While our status in the field of sprint is admitted, white critics have been slow to acknowledge our abilities in the longer races. Although several athletes have shown wonderful form at the middle distances, chief among these being Dismond, Granger of St. Christopher, and Evans, the fact is argued that abilities in these events do not necessarily prove that these athletes have that staying quality so essential in long distance grinds. However, since the development of the St. Christopher cross-country team, even this argument is rapidly falling into discard. This team has scored in a national championship every year since its formation in 1914. Out of this large group of hill-and-dale runners' have emerged three individual stars: Jenkits, Morris and Stogley. The meteoric career of the former was cut short when he enlisted in the Officer's Training School early in the war; that of Morris is as long and as consistently brilliant as any long distance in America. Stokely, the last of the triumvirate, is an athlete who combines the best features of Morris as a plugger and of Jenkins as a finisher. Clean cut, modest and determined, this sineway athlete embodies all that we expect in a gentleman athlete." Within the last two months he has won eight consecutive races in as many starts. Since the passing of "Sid" Jackson, "Stoke" as he is affectionately called, has been the back-bone of the St. Christopher track team; its surget point winner, and its most versatile performer. In the outdoor season just closed he has scored points for his team in races all the way from the half-mile to the modified marathon. "Next season, when all the boys will have returned from "Over There" and competition will be more keen than ever before, colored fans will be able to sit comfortably in the bleachers feeling assured that they will be able represented in the long Distance events by the groups now being developed in the Metropolitan district, and that one of the best hets among this group will be our old friend, Bill Stokeley WASHINGTON, D. C.—Tie incorporators lost their first game of the series Saturday night. With the score 23 to 10 in their favor at the end of the first half, it looked as though the Y, M. C. A. was to be a victim a third time. But in the second half the Y team, in a whirlwind rush, scored six baskets in quick succession, tied the score, and left the Incorporators dazed. Before the Incorporators recovered, the Y ran the score up to 40 and, was never caught. Final score, 43 to 33. John F. N. Wilkinson refereed. Carter for the Y and Arnold for the Incorporators led in points scored. Dash played his usual strong game, displaying splendid courage by entering the game after being knocked cold in a fast scrimmage. Westmorland in this, his last game for the Y, played in form, scoring 12 points. On account of his many other duties, Westmorland will be unable to play anymore this year. He will miss in Philadelphia the 13th game and Smith played a clever guard for the Y, while Simms and Morse stopped the Y forwards the first half. Hill and Neal showed some of the best passing of the season. Close guarding kept them away from the basket and most of their work went for nothing. The Carlyles, by defeating the Alcoes 25 to 23, while the Incorporators lost, are tied for first place, the Alcoes dropping to fourth place. Outplayed in the first half, the Carlyles won in the last minute of play. Taylor, Robinson and E. Tyler for the Carlyles and T. Johnson, Morris and Slim Carter for the Alcoes played fine basket ball. Armstrong showed great improvement and is now in third place. Amos, Tyler, Long and Hammond are going to make that team hard to beat. The Gray Jackets are playing better ball and should rise very soon. In Jones, their left-handed forward, they have a real "find." Scott and Pinkney will add strength to their team where badly needed. The Navy gun factory played poor basket ball all week. The Catholies lost to superior weight. The two Bowles played fine ball. BASKET BALL AT CAMP DIX CAMP Dix, N J.—There are a few basket ball teams here composed of some of the stars, such as Briscoe from the Vandals, Blanchard from the Imperials. But the greatest star to be unearthed here is Fred Smith, who two years ago played ball for the Tuxedo A. C. amateur team. He is one of the best players in camp. In a game recently Smith, who play forward, was put in at guard to hold the once-noted Mike Briscoe. He held him until three minutes before time was up, without a basket, when Briscoe shot one. Smith is expected to do great work against the Owls on Christmas night, when the champions of Camp Dix will line up against them Smith on Friday night shot three baskets in succession. "The Home of Class" (Special to THE NEW YORK ANN.) PITTSBURGH, VA. — The American Theatre, a movie house on Harrison Street, was burned Saturday night. One fireman's loss is about $15,000. Its burning and subsequent events have created a situation, which if properly adjusted, would go a long way in bringing about a higher respect for the rights of the Negro. There is only one other theatre in the city, and people may go and this is run by a person whose record is one of hostility. Thanksgiving night there was a capacity audience. It was an ugly, night outside, just an incessant drizzle which threatened to make an effort to gain the soldier and the proprietor became involved in an argument over some real or fancied violation of the rules. Dean assaulted the soldier, it is said, with a blackjack, while his son held the soldier. The police came, and inquired the cause of the trouble and got the version given above. The sergeant told one of the military police that "he had better take them away as he did not intend to take anything off of them." The M. P. then sold the soldiers a short way down the block. The colored people consider the treatment of the soldier outrageous and, if enough public spirited people could be found to advance the money to equip a theatre, its success would be assured. The Index-Appal, a local paper, published a special edition of *Fair* which put the blame on the soldier and characterized him as a "disorderly Negro soldier whom Mr. Dean made take the count." Dean's success with the "Idle Hour" shows the Petersburg public in a unenviable light, because a party of young colored business men attempted to discredit people refused to support them. Some of the churches actually disciplined their members who patronized it then, but now, when it is run by interests absolutely hostile to them, they pack the house each night. The local branch of the Advancement Association have been trying to get will go on record as discountancing the continued patronage of the place by colored people. Geo. W.

C.-Governor Bickett, the brave and patriotic governor of North Carolina, was invited to this city by Mr. Thomas Knight, one of the governors of the prison, who has a hold upon the hearts of the masses. The governor cane, delivered a soul stirring address that was full of the most splendid praise for the Negro in and out of the army, and pleaded for a spirit of good will between the races, a co-operation that brings happy results to all. This time ago this same government stood between the mob and Negro, who were subject to fury and prevented a lynching. Two weeks ago he called out Federal troops to protect the life of a Negro, and saved him from the barbarous horde of would-be lynchers. It has been said again and again, that the governor of a state was powerless to call out the Negro, and this thing Governor Bickett did and he meets the warm praise of fair minded white and colored men everywhere. On the occasion of his last visit to Wilmington every available seat was filled and hundreds' were turned away long before the governor arrived. The leading white and colored men, millionaires and men of humble means, sat side by side upon the stage of the Academy of Music, the city's largest auditorium,摩洛hes, Protestants, Jews and Gentiles, and men of other place. The speech, spelled each other marily for colored people, was equally applicable to both races, and if properly heeded, will be prolific of splendid results.
