The Southern rep- resentatives include Louisiana, Tus- Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. The well-known and popular playhouse was purchased from the Quality Amusement Company, of which Robert Levy is president and manager, and is the largest theatrical deal in which Negroes have prominently figured. Colored people became in full possession of the Lafayette Theatre after weeks of negotiation in which Mr. Brown and his associates took the initiative for the reason that an outlet for the Dunbar Theatre, now in process of erection in Philadelphia at Broad and Lombard streets, was regarded absolutely necessary. The new Philadelphia house, which will be opened in the fall, will cost $75,000. Mr. Levy was anxious to secure the Dunbar Theatre for the Quality Amusement Company and Mr. Brown was bent on getting possession of the Lafayette Theatre. Mr. Brown finally won his point, and now in compliance with the popular demand, the Lafayette will have all colored employees in front of the house as well as the back. Take Over Old Btars.

Cheers and Lieut. Robert E. Johnson. It is understood that Col. Allen J. Greer, chief of staff of the 92nd Division, will be publicly censured for his pernicious activity against the colored officers and men of his division.

DR. VINCENT PROMOTED AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL Last April when the suggestion was made to Dr. Edward L. Keyes, head of the urological department of Bellevue Hospital, that Dr. U. C. Vincent he appointed resident surgeon of the urological service, he said he was perfectly willing to make the appointment, but doubted if the white doctors would serve under the young colored man. However, he decided to make an experiment, and allowed Dr. Vincent to go ahead and show what he could do. One day last week Dr. Vincent was called in by his superior, told that he had made good and that his appointment would date from April 10, when have charge of a branch of the medical service at the hospital in which white physicians were his subordinates. Dr. Vincent has been making history at Bellevue Hospital. Graduating from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1918, he was appointed interne at Bellevue in July of last year, the first Negro to be given such recognition. Such a favorable impression did he make that in October four additional colored physicians were admitted to Bellevue as interns. DO YOU WANT WORK? READ THE HELP WANTED ADS ON PAGE EIGHT. Vote at Atlantic City Meeting to Admit All Negro Workmen in United States Into Unions ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—One of the most advanced steps toward the abolition of race distinction since the Civil War was made here last week when the American Federation of Labor emphatically declared for the essential brotherhood of workers throughout the country, no matter what their color. With but one dissenting vote, the Federation agent on record for the thorough organization of the millions of Negroes in America. Friends of the Negro say that before this year the debate in favor of wiping out the color line in organized labor would have been impossible, and the vote was largely due to the magnificent record made by the colored soldier in the world war. The decision of the convention was that Negro workers should be admitted to all unions on the same basis as white workers, and that it be a recommendation to all international unions still pursuing a reactionary course that they mind their ways. The extraordinary enthusiasm with which this proposal was created was no small measure due to the impression made on the gathering by Delegate John Lacey, a colored man from Norfolk, Va. Mr. Lacey spoke with earnestness and a restraint that was remarkable. He told of the indignities his colored fellow-workers were forced to suffer, even some who had fought overseas. He faced ugly prejudices bravely. RACE DISTINCTION REMOVED. "The action of the convention removes every class and race distinction from the movement.

Other colored delegates spoke, and Frank Duffy, chairman of the committee which recommended the new emancipatory proclamation, summed up. There was no more dramatic moment, however, than when Delegate Forrester, of Richmond, Va. declared for the colored workers. The significance of his uncompromising speech on their behalf, coming from a Southern man, thrilled the delegates. Until a few years ago there had been no organization worthy of the name among Negroes, while the skilled and semi-skilled trades have barred them from membership. In recent years committees from the race have repeatedly asked assistance and recognition from the Federation, but until to-day the influence of Southern delegates has been sufficiently strong to prevent any substantial recognition being given them. To this convention the colored workers presented several requests. Among other things they asked for the establishment of colored international unions, the assignment of organizers to every State where there is a large, unorganized colored population, and the detailing in Washington of an officer, preferably colored, who shall devote his time to the interests of the Negro. The Age Starts Fight in 1917. The first initiation the public received that the American Federation of Labor planned to take in colored men on a large scale appeared in The Acr. of November 29, 1917, when Samuel Gompers' letter to Fred R. Moore, who complained that the Federation was drawing the color line, was published. Mr. Gompers replied thusly: American Federation of Labor. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov 23, 1917. Mr. Fred R. Moore, Publisher. Your letter of the 20th instant is received and contents noted. In reply let me call your attention to the provisions of the well-known declaration of the American Federation of Labor providing for the organization of all wage earners, irrespective of creed, color, race or nationality. The constitution of the A. F. of L. also provides, Section 6, Article XI, as follows: Sec. 6, Article XI.—Separate charters may be issued to Central Labor Unions, local union, or Federal labor unions, composed exclusively of colored members, where, in the judgment of the Executive Council, it appears advisable and to the best interests of the Trade Union movement to do so. There are many colored wage earners who hold membership in the unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. The constitution provides for the organization of separate unions of colored workers when that may be deemed advisable and to the best advantage of the workers themselves, as well as to the general labor movement. Provision is also made for the organization of separate central labor unions when that engine is deemed whistle. There are several critical beliefs new alliances to the A.

At the conference of the Urban League on labor, held in New York, January 31, 1918, a resolution was passed asking the American Federation of Labor to unionize Negroes, skilled as well as unskilled workmen.

A NEW EMANCIPATION. The decision of the American Federation of Labor to take active steps for the thorough organization of the Negro Workers of America marks the most important advance for the industrial freedom of the race since the abolition of chattel slavery. If carried out toward its logical conclusion, it should mean the loosening of the shackles that have encouraged peonage and industrial dependency of all kinds. The action of the convention was largely due to the progressive policy of Samuel Gompers, the leader of the Federation, who put himself on record in favor of the inclusion of Negroes in the ranks of organized labor, in a letter to THE AGE published about a year ago. This declaration was affirmed and amplified by several conferences held between representatives of the race and labor at Washington, with the result finally confirmed by the overwhelming vote of the convention. The fact that considerable opposition was evinced to establishing the color line in the formation of colored international unions, indicates the extent of the growing spirit of liberalism in labor circles. Thirty or more unions reported that they drew no color line. One speaker, representing the printers, laid down this principle: Nothing should exclude a man from a labor union but his character or his opinions. It is the duty of the white workers everywhere to assist the black man. If he is a bit backward, the fault is that of the white man. The real extent of this forward movement on the part of organized labor can only be gauged by the spirit in which it is carried out. If such sentiments as those quoted above prevail, the result cannot fail to be of untold value, both to labor and to the Negro workmen. With good faith and fair dealing on both sides, the industrial progress of the race should now be assured. THE BETTER ELEMENT. Within the last year or so, there has been evidence of a disposition on the part of the better element of the Southern whites of the South to put themselves on record as opposing lynch law, mob violence and other forms of injustice and oppression manifested against the Negroes of that section. THE AGE has been glad to note this movement and its development among religious assemblies, law and order leagues and other organizations. The obvious port of this demonstration was to show that the resort to mob violence and savagery was due to the unbridled passions of the ignorant class of poor whites in the South, against the protest and judgment of the educated element. This plausible hypothesis has received a severe setback in recent happenings in the State of Mississippi. According to authentic information, the flogging and beating of the leading colored citizens of the town of Macon, were due to the direct action of such leading white citizens as a banker, a deputy sheriff and the city marshal. Encouraged and instigated by this example, he white rabble pillaged and robbed the houses and stores owned by Negroes and intimidated their owners. The account adds, "No arrests made, of course." At a small town, four miles from Vicksburg, "a leading white citizen" committed the usual crime upon a colored woman. Singular to relate, the offender was arrested and placed in jail at Vicksburg. But his early release, with or without a nominal fine, is the inevitable outcome. In view of the participation of the supposed better class of the white community in outrages like the above, it is useless to attempt to place the sole responsibility for the lawlessness that has made the South infamous, on the ignorant "poor whites." The better element must accept the odium consequent upon the aid and countenance given to these pogroms. While the American delegates to the Peace Conference at Paris are considering the massacre of the Jews in Poland, the woes of the Irish under British rule, in Ireland, and the pleadings of other oppressed minorities, should not some attention be paid to this most deplorable condition of things in the United States? No government can afford to permit the continued maltreatment of an oppressed minority without involving both moral and physical retribution. The continued sowing of the seeds of injustice is bound to produce a crop of resultant evils. For the good of the whole country, both the South and the Nation should call a halt to the oppression of the large minority of its black citizens. If the "better element" of the South is sincere in its stand taken against lawlessness and injustice, let it redouble its efforts to purge its section of the crime now prevalent. The oppressor in the end is bound to suffer equally with the oppressed. OPPORTUNITIES. Those who have been optimistic as to industrial openings for the colored people of New York City are having their hopes justified by recent developments in the way of demands for workers in new directions. A cheering evidence of the new fields opening for workers of the race is found in the columns of THE Age devoted to Classified Advertisements under the heads of Help Wanted, of both sexes. While the demand for male help is growing, both as to men and boys, it is in the openings for women and girls that the greatest increase is to be noted. The range of employment is diversified, as well, covering many lines of industrial activity. Among the occupations and employments inviting applicants are drapers, dressmakers, flowermakers, laundresses, pressers and ironers, operators on sewing machines, candy packers, houseworkers and workers in linen-rooms, besides learners in various other capacities. The openings for male help, while not so diversified, range from errand boys and laborers to factory workers and hotel and restaurant help. In addition to the demand denoted in these advertisements, there is reason to believe that a factory is projected for Harlem that will afford employment to a still larger number for the manufacture of children's clothing. There will be openings for beginners, it is said, starting at ten dollars a week, with the prospect of increasing to twenty or more as skill is attained in the work. Foremen and women of experience will command still higher pay if capable of filling the positions. It is now up to those who have been demanding opportunity to prove their fitness by their work. The opportunity has come—in fact, many opportunities are opening. Let the men and women, as well as the young people of both sexes, determine to make good in the industrial world and justify the hopes that have been centered in this direction. When the pastors are advocating the practice of thrift next Sunday, it might be well for them to point out that the first step is to get a job and hold it down; then save a part of the earnings. smallest chance of preventing the great white members from putting through anything detrimental to them, the enclosed members, if they, the white members, want to put it through. The League of Nations showed at the outset how much of a League of Nations it really was when it absolutely refused to grant the insistent request of the most advanced and the most powerful NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WO Washington, D. C. The co-organizer of the Nation's Training School for Women and Girls with the Bohemian sermon Rev. W. H. R. Powell of Ak Va. Sunday, June 1. The first class they attended were held on SENATOR REED ON THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, recently delivered himself in the Senate on what he pretended to believe to be the chief monarch in the League of Nations. The Senator emphasized the point that under the covenant in its present form nations governed by races other than white would have the predominating voice. He presented statistics to show that of the total population of the countries composing the League, 811,425,500 would be black; yellow, brown and red races, with only 289,488,800 of the white race. He stated that in the assembly which is to be the governing body the white nations would have fifteen representatives and other nations seventeen. The statements made by Senator Reed were so extraordinary that we shall quote at some length from his speech. He went on to say: "An examination, however, of the membership of this present league will first astonish and then arouse the indignation of every thoughtful man. It will come as a distinct shock, first, that this is a colored league of nations. That is to say, the majority of the nations composing the league are a conglomerate of the black, yellow, brown and red races, frequently so intermixed and comingled as to constitute an unclassifiable monogrel breed. "How will Senators from the South, who represent states which have contended that the white race alone is fit to control the destiny of the states of America, contend that Liberia, Haiti and other Negro or semi-Negro nations should be permitted to sit at the council table of the world and each cast votes the equal to that of the United States? "Who can justify the doctrine that the 110,000,000 intelligent free people of the United States shall be represented by one man and that the representative of Hedjaz with a population of 300,000 shall cast a vote equal to the United States? "Who can justify giving to the 450,000 ignorant half-castes of Panania a vote equal to the United States? "What sort of insolence is it that proposes that 50,000 civilized or semi-civilized Negroes of Liberia shall in the council of the world have a vote equal to the 110,000,000 people of the United States? "How can Great Britain ask us to permit the ignorant and superstitious hordes of India, incapable of self-government or self-defense, to cast a vote equal to that of the United States?" Senator Reed further declared that the rate of illiteracy among the so-called colored nations in the League averaged about 85 per cent, while in the "joke nation" of Liberia it was as high as 98 per cent.; and that although many of these nations were "the victims of superstition and steeped in barbarian," the League would make them "the new governors of the world." Now, the Senator from Missouri may be sincere enough in his opposition to the League of Natiioits, but it is impossible for him to be sincere in the statements quoted above; that is, if he is still in his right mind. Senator Reed knows as well as anybody else and better than most people that India and Egypt, to saynothing of Haiti and Liberia, will have about as much influence on the vital decisions made by the League as a rooster crowing at daybreak has on the rising of the sun. If the big white nations really meant the words which they have written down in the covenant, then there might be some foundation for the "fears" expressed by Senator Reed. If this was a league of nations in which it was even contemplated that each nation, regardless of its size, its money or its gun power, would have an equal voice in saying how the world shall be governed, Senator Reed could be given credit for sincerity. But Senator Reed knows perfectly well that the small and weak nations will not only not have an equal voice in saying how the world shall be governed, they will not even have a equal voice in saying how they themselves shall be governed. Not voting power, but gun power is going to shape the vits decisions made by the League of Nations. No decision vitally affecting commercial and financial interests and predatory privileges will ever be made by the League against those nations possessing the greatest gun power. If anybody has the idea that the covenant of the League of Nations, as it has been drafted and as it is intended to be carried out, will bring in the millennium among nations is, in our opinion, simply dreaming. Senator Reed knows all this, so he is either using the arguments of a demagogue for the purpose of stirring up opposition in the South against the League or he is indulging in the pleasure of expressing some of his own personal race hatred. So far as we care, Senator Reed may go ahead and defeat the League of Nations, if he can; what we object to is this humbuggery and hypocrisy. Nobody knows better than the great white nations that the League does not contemplate in the slightest degree that the colored members in the League will have the smallest chance of putting through anything detrimental to the great white members. And not only that, but it does not contemplate that the colored members will have the WITHOUT JURISDICTION. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were the objects sought for by the revolting colonists, when they adopted the Declaration of Independence and cut the ties that bound them to Great Britain. Under the Constitution later adopted by them, these objects were presumably made safe for all persons living under the flag of the new republic. Yet we find the chief law officer of the Government calmly stating to a citizen that the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in a matter that involves the life of its citizens. This humiliating declaration was made in a letter signed "For the Attorney General," by Claude R. Porter, Assistant Attorney General, in reply to a communication sent to the Department of Justice by Mr. Chas. Douglas of Plainfield, N. J. The letter, dated May 24, 1919, reads as follows: Sid: I beg to acknowledge your letter of the 20th instant relative to the lynching of persons belong-to the colored race. In reply you are advised that under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, this is a subject matter which lies within the jurisdiction of the several States, and not within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. It is impossible therefore for this Department to intervene in regard to it. This statement of the Department may be good in law, but if so it only emphasizes the necessity for the adoption of a law covering this emergency. A government that is without jurisdiction to protect the life and property of every citizen is far from being a perfect government. Let Congress act at once to remedy this defect in the Federal system by adopting the Dyer bill, or some similar measure, that will make lynching and other forms of mob violence a Federal offence. If the United States is to maintain its place among the civilized nations of the world, it cannot rent under this admission that its government is without jurisdiction to punish murder by the mob. smallest chance of preventing the great white members from putting through anything detrimental to them, the colored members, if they, the white members, want to put it through. The League of Nations showed at the outset how much of a League of Nations it really was when it absolutely refused to grant the insistent request of the most advanced and the most powerful colored nation in the world that there be written in the covenant merely a few words declaring all members of the League to be entitled to equal treatment, regardless of race or color. If it ever happened that the great white nations of the League stood faced by the necessity of so interpreting the covenant that each colored nation would have equal voice and power with each white nation, on that day the League would be dissolved. Senator Reed asks with seeming seriousness, "How can Great Britain ask us, to permit the ignorant and superstitious hordes of India, incapable of self-government or self-defense, to cast a vote equal to that of the United States?" The Senator knows that Great Britain is not asking anything of the sort. He knows or ought to know that the vote of India is not a vote for India, but another vote for Great Britain; and Great Britain never had any intention that it should be anything else. If India had a vote for India, it would be cast first of all for the independence of India. The Senator from Missouri speaks of the people of India as ignorant and superstitious hordes, incapable of self-government or self-defense. Here is another example of the bigotry of a prejudiced mind. The people of India had a highly developed civilization when the progenitors of Senator Reed were hairy savages. The people of India were clothing their clean bodies in soft silks when the progenitors of the Senator from Missouri were painting their skins blue and did not know enough to take a bath. The people of India were studying philosophy and writing a great literature when the progenitors of the Senator from Missouri would not have known what an alphabet was for, even if they had seen one. The people of India are more civilized today than the people of the section of this country whose sentiments Senator Reed represents. India had a high civilization and governed herself for thousands of years; and today we hear that she is "incapable of self-government." Why? Because England took away India's self-government and keeps India defenseless for the reason that with three hundred million Indians working for her she can live in greater luxury. So long as ruling classes in England can live in idleness by the help of three hundred million people in India, the people of India will remain "incapable of self-government." When the great white nations declare that a certain people is "incapable of self-government," they simply mean that that people should no longer be allowed the right to work for themselves, but should be compelled to contribute to the well being and luxury of the great white nations. It is for these reasons that we do not expect anything for the submerged races from the League of Nations as it has been formed and as its intentions have been shown. So we say, so far as we care, Senator Reed may go ahead and defeat the League, if he can, but let him do so without further sacrifice of the colored races on the altar of hypocrisy. A MISSISSIPPI VIEW Jackson (Mina) Clarion Ledger. The fact is heralded abroad that the Illinois Legislature is the first of the 48 to ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment. It did not have far to go as women have been voting in Illinois for the last half dozen years. Besides, Illinois is a died-in-the-wool Republican state with thousands of Negro women voting. Illinois does not draw the color line in the least. White men can marry Negro women, and Negro men may marry white degenerates in Illinois, and live with them openly, with no one to molest or make them a fraid. Negro can legislate at any of the Chicago hotels, go into any theatre, or restaurant, any city or town of Illinois and receive the same treatment accorded to white people. The cars are open to them, coaches and Pullmans, the only thing necessary is the money to pay the price. This reference to Negroes riding in Pullman recalls a little incident in the life of the writer. He was returning from Chicago, and noticed in one of the sections of the Pullman, a big, black, oleocaginous, odoriferous Negro man. He was taking all the privileges the Pullman afforded. Several white men grew tired of him, and concocted a plan to take him down a peg or two. They decided to steal the Negro's shoes during the night, which was bitter cold, and throw them out of the window. The train reached Cairo about daybreak. The Negro was to get off there, and raised an awful row with the porter about misplacing his shoes; but they were not made, but they were not allowed, for the simple reason they had been thrown off the train. The big Negro swore like a sailor, and threatened to sue the company for damages. He was compelled to get off at Cairo and the last seen of him he was making tracks through the snow in his sock-foot, to the nearest social-equality hotel, swearing at the top of his voice, and cursing the passengers in a language they could not afford to hear. But, oh, how they did laugh, as they saw that big buck marching through the snow drifts, "making foot-prints in the sands of time." GEORGIA SENTIMENT ON RACIAL BOUNDS Macon (Ga.) Tetraph. War Savings Stamps, Liberty Loan Bonds nor even the khaki uniform which 400,000 Negroes wore in service, active and inactive, in the world war, is ever going to palliate or salve over a racial overstepping of bounds which have been an established limit since the two races have lived in the same country. Nor will an honest, well-thinking, Negro set up such a claim for his race. It has been but a day or two since a member of that race sought for himself equal service at a "white man's" soda contisha in Athens and beating seated bengal soldiers with violent contempt with a baseball bat. His justification for his action was by his own declaration, the uniform he was wearing and his service in France. Piotriontius didn't take him to that same footwear, among white women and children. nor did Liberty Bonds protect his skull. He simply made a mistake. as did those Negroes near Millen. In the one case, at least there has been regrettable result, but out of both this will come; neither the drug store in Atlanta, nor the immediate community in Millen will suffer a repetition of the incident. It was not to have been unexpected that isolated cases of this kind would occur, however much the avoidance of them is desired or the effort to prevent them; for there are in the lesser race men who are prone to make that mistake, oftentimes through the misguidance of those to whom they look inward, who would be when they maliciously sidestep the real meaning that "this is a white man's country," as it ever will be, and it as scanty a cloak as foolhardy is the effort to attempt to justify such mistakes by naming possession of War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds, and the performance of Red Cross work. ALABAMA APPRECIATION OF COLORED SOLDIERS Birmingham (Ala.) News. The colored people of Birmingham are organizing a reception for returned colored soldiers. It is to be on June 12th at the State Fair Grounds, and is to take the form of a patriotic picnic. This is an entirely natural and thoroughly laudable movement. It is entirely natural that the colored people who stayed at home should desire to express in some tangible way their appreciation of their race who risked their lives or shed their blood for their country. That sort of pride is human, and it is to be hoped that the well-to-do colored people may work out complete plans for a handsome entertainment and may execute them as creditably as the progressive colored leaders of Birmingham should do. The movement is altogether laudable. In this regard their returned soldier brothers, they are not merely showing gratitude and pride, but they are demonstrating their own dignity and progress as a civilized section of the people. They are honoring themselves. The white people of this city sympathize with their colored neighbors in this undertaking, and wish it to be the greatest success in every way. It ought to be the best done thing of the sort in the South, because the colored people here have not only sent more men to the front than any other city, but they are stronger in every way than their race is anywhere else. They should measure up to their responsibility and opportunity in this public enterprise, just as their white neighbors are always striving to do. Gov. Kilby has been invited to attend the mass singing that is to take place in the evening of the 12th, and it is to be hoped that his engagements will permit him come. He is the Governor of the Nebraska as well as of the whites, and he can use his opportunity wisely for the benefit of both. The thoughtful white people of Birmingham should encourage and assist their colored neighbors in this matter in every practical way. The educated soldiers are learned in an important service, and every opportunity should be used to express their enthusiasm. WASHINGTON, D.C.—The commencement ceremony of the National Training School for Women and Girls began with the honorary prescriptio by the Rev. W. H. R. Powell of Alexandria, Va. Sunday, June 1. The field and class exercises were held on Thursday. Work done by the various departments was on exhibition. The unbounded enthusiasm that characterized the speeches and the class songs by the students told a story of devotion that was appreciated by all. Aside from the splendid work on exhibition and the interesting and unique program, the legacies, wills and gifts to the school from the students themselves were a feature. The girls boast of the fact that they have run the school two years "without man-power." These young women have raised nearly $80 which they presented in legacies and cash on class day. Here is their report, $236.17, Y. W. C. A.; $137, Sunday school, $236.17, Y. W. C. A.; $137, Sunday school, contribution to the N. A. A. C. P.; $26.73, special gifts, aside from legacies, made by the dressmaking department, $55.52; first normal class, $25; domestic science department, $184.84. Total, including amount given for legacies $283.68. Commencement day the girls gave out of the amount raised $100 to send one of their own graduates to Africa and a sufficient sum to send their "W" president to one of the summer conferences. Commencement exercises were held Friday. The Rew. J. E. Wood of Kentucky delivered the address and the Rev Charles S. Moore of Michigan presented the diploma and certificate. Fifteen students received them. Miss Burroughs that the school had had a most successful year because the splendid corps of teachers did first-class team work. The annual meeting of the Alumnae Association was held on Thursday. A banquet followed the business meeting. The trustees held their annual meeting during commencement week and expressed deep appreciation to the president for the remarkable way in which the work is developing. But the trustees also noted that the trustees extended her a unanimous vote of appreciation and confidence and pledged co-operation. A LYNGHING IN WASHINGTON. By Josephine Redfield-Hallman I was born—no credit to me—without race prejudice. One of my first playmates, my daily companion on my walks to and from school, was a dark-skinned, hinkly headed little girl. I dimly remembered "kindly" disposed neighbors who dropped in to enlighten my mother. I clearly see my abolitionist mother put on her bonnet, cross the lot, to make a social call upon the child's mother. Evidently she came away satisfied, for my companionship with this little dark-skinned friend was undisturbed. I was born without race prejudice; I was brought up without race prejudice; I have lived for nearly four years in ashish inn, married in women without prejudice. But God forgive me, during these past few weeks I have come brilliantly near knowing the meaning of these words. And why? What is it I have seen that has come so hear to upsetting the traditions of a lifetime? I have attended two mass meetings of the Parents' League, recently organized in Washington with the annual and ostensible purpose of "riding" the schools of all the immoral teachers. Large sums of money, hundreds of dollars, have been collected to pay lawyery fees and to hire detectives for the work. These meetings have been held in the church of God—opened with prayer and the reading of Scripture and here, under the very eyes of God. I have been lynching take place. Men and women of the colored race. I tell you it was a hideous sight. The victim was no dark-skinned man torn to pieces by the hands of a white man, but a white-skinned, dark-skinned woman torn to pieces by the tongue of her own race. And when, unable to endure it, I went upon the platform, facing those thousands of dark faces, and handed to the chairman, a minister's wife, my mother, together with my band. "Weakened" to correspond for the "Nation," and begged to be allowed to speak five minutes from that platform, my request was flatly refused. And in that great audience otherwise rose to speak in her defense, but they were not allowed. One man had a definite communication from the Board of Education, stating that only one teacher in the schools of Washington had had any connection with the Moroccan, and she had been called in on a witness. These zealots after high school would not permit communication to read. Lies were sold and more lies and one was permitted to rise in his place to deny them. * * * The movement continue, the money pours in, and for what? To so twist this colony which has fallen, upon the colony community of Washington through the peridy of one white man to make it the occasion for a political campaign against the assistant superintendent of public schools. To so blacken character of a blameless woman, bring her to a peridy of that nowhere throughout the country shall she be able to earn her heart if their avowed purposes are successful. They will not be. Charlotte Hunt walks the streets of Washington, behead unbowed, for she knows his high innocence. And, furthermore, she knows there is no man nor woman white or black, who has ever known her who credits for one moment in antiquity of the line that have been told. SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOME.

The National Conference of Work added to its latest edition of City June 1-8 in its attention to the most difficult, and most important American problems, the biggest problem" which, according to the thinkers, is after all the most difficult problems which are being the focus of thoughtful attention in education, recreation, and health, and their corpse (disease) positions of child labor, health and treatment of labor, deficiencies in the part of individuals young and old and unattainable, etc. The spirit of justice and good fellowship was felt by the body of more colored social workers among the free thousand or more detention to Atlantic City on their arrival at Angola's great seaside playground. Weeks before the meeting the largest national organization of representatives—John R. Shiloh and Walter Mary White Quinton from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Jesse Moorehead from the T. M. C. A.; Mrs. Eva D. Browder and Miss Helen Davis from the F. W. C. A.; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert from the National Association of Colored Women's Chisle; L. Hickingsworth Wood, and Lester Hinkle Jones from the National Urban League and George D. Browder Reports of the United States Department of Labor had conferred on means of getting more forcefully to the attention of these thousands of social workers the cause of the Negro. Conferences had been held with members of the program committee—with conference officers and chairmen of session meetings; and letters, and been written to speakers on subjects not purely technical, urging that in their addresses they observe the spirit of the following resolution passed by one hundred representative members of the conference at a meeting in New York City. November 29, 1918. "THAT EVERY PROGRAM FOR DEMOBILIZATION AND FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY RECONSTRUCTION SHALL ADQUATELY AND CONSCIUSLY. INCLUDE PROVISION FOR NSGROF FELLOW-CITIZEN AND FOR THEIR COOPERATION THEREIN." That the appropriate response from these letters were mere was evidenced in the thread of favorable discussion of the Negro's place in the "new order" which ran throughout the section and full conference meetings held during the week. The President of the Conference, Miss Julia Lathrop, in her annual address delivered on the Steel Pier on Sunday night, June 1, was brilliant! She urged her auditors to generous and whole-souled service in behalf of and, in cooperation with America's Negro citizens. In the section meeting on children, a delegation from Arkansas, speaking from the steel pier, added a reconstruction program of social service from his state in which he demanded for fair play for all citizens above mentioning a $230,000 children's hospital scheme in which Negro children were to receive a fairer share of the state's benefience. One woman delegate from San Antonio, Tex., described the condition in the South that needed to hold down and discourage the colored people and declared that San Antonio in its appointment of Negro personnel and in its erection of new school buildings for its Negro children was setting a gulf pace for other southern cities to follow. Colored speakers were on the program at many polls and frequently spoke from the floor in open discussion. In the interview room of the sun parlor and at other points on the Steel Pier as well as in the hotels Negro delegates could be seen at all hours in conference with white delegates on questions of mutual interest. Three colored delegates, Mrs. Albert S. Reed, Mrs. M. G. Hall and J. W. Stevenson attended the annual dinner of the National Day Nursery Association at the St. Charles Holden Colored men and women who were on the program for set appearance by W. R. B. DuBois at the great national program of the Station on International Economic Publishing. Mr. B. Smith Jones at the Baltimore session in the Hotel Traymore, ("Industrial and Economic Problems"), an industrial problems and development committee, George E. Haynes, R. R. Wright, Jr., James E. Robinson and Men. Helen Davin at the First Baptist Church (white) in the Session on "The Local Community." When at the evening session at the time Dr. DuBois was to appear it was announced that he could not be present on account of illness, a great number of disappointment rose from the three thousand or more who had remained to hear him, indicating the sympathy of the delegates with the efforts of Negro leaders to get their message "across." An on the monthly phone meeting when I spoke, more than half of the question was given up in the discussion of the subject "The Negro in Industry" on the part of the eight hundred or one thousand delegates who packed themselves goodnaturedly into every corner and on the platform in the Belvedere room of the beautiful Traynore Hotel. The questions asked of me and my guests were along the following lines, elaborating the wide interest of my questioners: Question: What is the attitude of the Negroes toward trade immigration? Answer: Many Negroes believe in the principle of collective bargaining; but the majority of colored people are suspicions of the labor movement. Negroes are denied access to unions and are called "scabs" for not walking out refusing to work on certain jobs when strikes are declared. Question: What will become of the unorganized Negro when the new co-partnership arrangement between capital and labor is a reality—a situation in which mutual consent labor shared in industry not only through fairer wages and hours but in the profits as well on the theory that his services constitute a part of the invested capital. Answer: No permanent, all inclusive agreement along this line between capital and labor is possible with one-seventh of the country's active labor supply shut out of organized labor. The union movement will very soon learn that the capitalists of the country will take advantage of this weakness in labor's forces, and, through the unrestricted use of Negro labor, postpone indefinitely a final decision. The Negro must be included in labor's program. The Negro will enter the partnership arrangement between capital and labor. His services will be a portion of the invested capital. He has the potentiality for hastening the day of final rockdrying. He needs but the proper leadership and encouragement which in due time will be forthcoming. Question: Do you think that as an aid to the solution to this called "Negro problem" there will develop a "return to Africa" movement similar to the Zionist Movement among the Jews? Answer: Negroes are one hundred per cent. "died-in-the-wool" Americans. Their traditions, their ideals, their hopes and ambitions are of America. They will not expatriate themselves. They are interested in the blacks of Africa as Americans. Their traditions, their about the serfs of Russia or the Jugo-Slovaks of Central Europe. But their first concern is their own welfare here and here in America they will work out their salvation and make their contributions unselfish but hopefully to world int Next year the National Conference of Social Work is to be held at New Orleans. Already arrangements are being made to preserve the spirit of the Atlantic City conference at New Orleans. While we do not anticipate trouble (inter-rural contexts are fraught with sufficient danger without courting friction) it will readily be seen that to insure the proper reception and treatment of Negro delegates at New Orleans, careful and studied precautionary measures must be taken, Social workers have blamed the ways for harmonious good fellowship in the handling of many difficult problems of the reconstruction period. Their efforts should be encouraged. Our great political leaders may well learn the lesson. Democracy demands it. A League of Nations and the Internationalism of the future will require it! EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Jones is executive secretary of the National Urban League. MONTCLAIR, N. I. Montclair, N. J.—The drama, "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," given by the Dramatic Art Club at the St. Mark's M. E. Church, was one of the most enjoyable entertainment ever given in Montclair. The farce, which was a mass of twisted and tangled prevarications so cleverly constructed as to "make even the worse appear the better reason," was cleverly presented by the following cast: Justin Fitzroy as "Mr. Temple"; Saloian Watson as "Brank Fuller"; Mrs. Dora A. Johnson as "Mrs. Frank Fuller"; Aubrey Peterson as "Captain Sharpe"; Miss Julia DeLoach as "Dorothy," sister of Mrs. Temple; Ishmael Robinson as "John Brown"; Mr. Tate as the butler and Mrs. Clara Coleman as "Mrs. John Brown." All the parts were so well played that one would almost think they were listening to veteran actors. Mr. Tate, the ever ready butler, not only ready to serve, but equally ready to give advice from his self-reputed store of experiences and Mrs. Clara Coleman as the versatile and coquettish Mrs. John Brown, provided the especially humorous parts. The large audience showed its interest and pleasure in the performance by spontaneous applause. George Hill, 22 Frink street, is home from Howard University with his "sheepskin" and an A. B.

(BY LESTER A. WALTON) NEW YORKERS who are wont to declare that Jersey is noted chiefly for its large crop of commuters and energetic mosquitoes galore would have undergone a liberal education Thursday evening, June 12, had they journeyed to Columbia Hall, Jersey City, and attended the graduation exercises of Miss L. A. Lee's music class. After hearing a program which included the compositions of Beethoven, Liszt and Offenbach it would have become obvious to those from the eastern side of the Hudson that the soil of Jersey also is fertile for producing real musicians. For the past twelve years Miss L. A. Lee has devoted time and attention to teaching the colored boys and girls of Jersey City and environs music—vocal and instrumental: In 1907 she began her work with twelve pupils a week, and each youngster was charged twelve and a half cents a lesson. To-day Miss Lee is known as the most prominent race teacher in New Jersey, and her class numbers one hundred and nine. This year, three pupils were awarded certificates after having studied under Miss Lee for ten years. They were Miss Celestine H. Smith, Miss Florence J. Steele and Maron Smith. Their appearance was a success both from a standpoint of technique and musicianship, showing the result of years of close application to the study of music under capable instructors. The assisting artists were Mme. E. Jones, soprano; Miss Marie Wayne, violin; Milton M. Samuel, violin; R. F. Douge, clarinet; Mr. Bloden, cornet; Miss Minnie Brown, 'cello; Nunzie Painture, 'cello; E. T. Jackson, drums, and Duncan Mayer, piano. Maron Smith is a young man in his teens who supports his widowed mother by taking tickets at the Monticello Theatre in Jersey City afternoon and evening. Besides studying music he took a commercial course at the high school which he completed this year. 'Two weeks ago the organist at the Monticello was late in reporting and Maron took his place. His playing attracted the favorable attention of many in the audience, and two ladies engaged him to come to their homes to play. Miss Celestine H. Smith, a sister of Leonard Smith of the Right Quintet, has won a medal for making an exceptional record in her studies each year. She was unable to wear all of her Jersey decorations which only, would have been possible had she possessed the physical proportions of our dear lame. Sissieretta Jones. Miss Florence J. Steele besides being a pianist of promise convinced the audience, which was a large and representative one, that she could make a happy speech. In presenting Miss Lee a book, the gift of the members of this year's class, she made a sincere talk which greatly moved Miss Lee, who responded feelingly. The three graduates received numerous floral gifts. Mrs. Albert S. Reed of New York delivered the principal address of the evening, giving wholesome advice to the graduates and holding the attention of all. Mrs. George E. Cannon efficiently served as mistress of ceremonies. Among those seated on the program were two white friends of the school, one the head of the Y. W. C. A. in the state of New Jersey. After the awarding of certificates a reception was held and dancing was a feature. Music was furnished by Prof. R. F. Douge's orchestra. There are hundreds of colored men and women throughout the United States who, like Miss L. A. Lee, are rendering their race a great service in its upward clump but are seldom heard of in print as "big Negroes." However, they are a potent factor in the colored American's advancement and it should be the duty of the press to accord them the consideration which they so rightly deserve. Thursday evening's musical program was as follows: Piano Tris-Overture to the Opera "La Dame Blanche" - Böcklewid - Miss Melanie H. Smith, Miss Florence J.

WE REIT THE GLORY Historically the "women element" of white has been accused of bathing and mistreating intimately behind men and women. But now the "best children" are active in a propaganda to treat "the Negro in his place." On June 7, at Macon High, several white men were shown being a banker, deputy sheriff and only one person took out Proof J. J. the proof of the Macon County Sheriff's office and the several years a probation in Adams College, also other responsible colored citizens, and gave them to severe posting. The assailants accused their vies of having advised Negroes to demand better pay for their work. This, they regarded as a serious offense. One of the men assaulted was punished for saying "Yes" and "No" to a white man. When the white rabbit heard of what the better element was doing, conditions became indisable. White ruffians began to rob the homes of Negroes and intimidate colored men and women. All the colored men assaulted were one of considerable means. They were ordered to leave town so that others might get their property and effects. James Little was flogged and his house robbed of $150. The store of Mr. Young a prosperous merchant, was rammed. No arrests have been made. Lured citizens also charge that a colored girl was criminally assaulted by a "calling" citizen a few days ago at Browns, Miss, about four miles from Wickburg. The culprit was arrested and judged in the jail at Vicksburg. The mob has not taken the law in its hands in this instance. SCRANTON PA Scranton, Pa. The Rev. Joseph Ivans, pastor of Bethel A. M. E.
