NEGRO WORKMEN (Southern Publicity Committee) A recent issue of the University Workman gives an interesting study of Negro labor in a big Northern industry during the present business depression. The study was made by a Southern man, T. J. Wourier, Jr., of Georgia, and the corporation reported on in a book titled *Calling Mill Co. of Middletown, Ohio*. This firm employed a thousand Negroes during the war, and now has half that number on the pay roll. Few of them can operate the more important part of the majority being occupied with the mills, in which they do excellent work. The company makes considerable effort to hold these men by keeping them comfortable and contented. Attractive houses have been built for them at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,500, which is required from a purchaser, with monthly installments of $25 thereafter. Ninety per cent of the houses built are being bought. At the barracks for unmarried men a club house with 120 rooms, and with a colored worker charge. The company built and gave the city a $75,000 building for a colored school. It contains an auditorium in which the company gives entertainments twice a week. The company also hired a partner who looks after the children below school age, advises with their mothers about home affairs, and has charge of the company playground. All this is done as a business investment, to give intelligent care to the human enders of the machine." The company enders the policy justified by its results. (Special to Journal & Guide) Georgia law, until recent years, forade the use of public funds to maintain high schools. Schools of this grade being thus under private management, have one of various standards; and one of the greatest public services of the State university of late years has been to standardize and correlate these white schools throughout the State. The university, in turn, the university have, this week in charge, begun one standardization of colored schools of like grade. The first colored institution to be inspected and accredited by the university as meeting standard high school requirements is Knox Institute, Athens. Other schools, including the University, the university authorities think that a similar public rating of Negro colleges would be beneficial to all concerned; and that the interests of sound education would be promoted standardization of colored institution and community throughout the South. It will be recalled that just such work has recently been undertaken in North Carolina, nor, however, by the State university, but by the Division of Negro Education of the State Department. The Recreation and Community Service Board of Houston, Tex., has operated two playgrounds this summer for colored children. The city Board of Education has co-operated by driving the recreation Board the use of two of the playgrounds of the colored schools. Norfolk Journal and Guide NEW DIRECTING MANAGER OF THE ATTUCKS THEATRE ENROLMENT AT HOWARD ENROLMENT AT HOWARD Expected to be Largest in History of University Washington, D. C. - Student enrolments in educational institutions are not checked, even though there has been a general wave of depression over the United States following the War War. Howard University located at the Nation's capital, with its modernity and plant and its various academic schools in Liberal Arts, Education, Commerce, and Finance; its school of Applied Science, with courses in Advanced Engineering and Architecture, Agricultural and some Economics; its class "A" School of Medicine, with courses in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy; and its School of Law, is preparing to receive its new students. During the summer vacation extensive repairs and improvements have been made to the buildings and grounds, which will add fort of the students. A number of important additions have been made to the buildings and numbers 136. It is expected that on Sunday the opening of the fall quarter, a welcome will be extended to an even larger number of students than the one thousand, nine hundred, and ten, who were enrolled last year. WOMEN WORK FOR LESS THAN MEN IN CIVIL SERVICE Washington, D. C.—The fifth annual convention of National Federation of Federal Employees, to be held in September 16th, will be called task Congress and the administrative officers of the government to abolish the doubling standard of wages now in existence. The task Congress will keep women out of the higher salaried positions. The average salary of women is $200 less the year than the men. The average salary of the women do a great deal of work which requires much technical skill. A SIGN OF BETTER TIMES The Federal Council of Churches this summer organized a Commission on Negro Churches and Race Relationships. The chairman is John J. Engan, a prominent Presbyterian layman of Atlanta, Ga., already widely known for his constructive service in this field. The Commission composed of representatives of all the churches, white and colored, affiliated with the Council, includes a large Southern membership men and women. In its first public statement the Commission voices its conviction that the Christian religion affords the only real solution of race problems, and that Christian brotherhood is the only basis for satisfactory race relations. Its program includes the promotion of acquaintance and confidence between the races by conferences, and by bringing white and colored churches in closer communication; by arraying the sentiment of the churches against mob violence and enlisting them in a five-years' educational campaign against lawlessness; developing a public conscience to secure the Negro equitable provision for education, recreation, health, housing, and all matters of community welfare; giving publicity to the facts of racial relations; and presenting the subject at religious gatherings through white and colored speakers.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 Injured by Horse; Claimed She Was Attacked By Men An interesting sidelight on how some of the stories of attacks upon women get out is furnished by the case of Miss Sadie Champion, a young white woman of Bibsee, who was injured when a horse she was tiding became entangled in a high state of nervousness Miss Champion reported that she had been brutally attacked by Mexican cattle rulers. When she examined her composure she denied that she had told how her injuries were received. Her composeur resided in the Southern South some one would probably have been lynched before she had time to regain her composure. CIVIL COURT DECISION UPHELD CIVIL COURT DECISION UPHELD L. E. Fountain Must Pay One Hundred Dollar Fine for Insult to Juror Raleigh, N. C.—The Supreme Court of North Carolina has sustained the decision of Judge Calvert of the Civil Court who fined L. E. Fountain, a white man of Tarboro, N. C., $100 for contempt of court. The case was the out come of an insult to one of the jury men in a case which had been decided against Fountain. Fountain had sued a colored man and the jury believed the testimony of the colored man, thus deciding the case in his favor. This so enraged Fountain that he insulted one of the discharged jurors and threatened to do him bodily harm. Judge Calvert then fined Fountain $100 for contempt of court from which decision he appealed to the Sprentree Court. The Supreme Court holds that the man is guilty of contempt if the assault is made while court is still in session. The fine will have to be paid. NEGRO PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES One of the methods used by Virginia to up the health of her population is the colorized graduate nurses for work Negroes. Four counties now have colorized nurses to supervise the children in the colored schools. The first of these nurses was employed for two years to care for negroes themselves; but her work so boarded herself that county board of education that at the end of that time they took it over permanently. Of 1,200 children 1087 were found with various defects, most correctable; hundreds have been vaccinated; and all are learning the fundamentals of hygiene and sanitation. There are twenty-two colored public health nurses in the State, all of whom are in close touch with the State board of health, to which they frequently. As the benefits of this policy are seen the work is being extended. The "Day" Of Genesis "And the evening and the morning were the first day."—But if creation was done in seven days, what was the length of such a day?" Recent investigations of the mysteries might serve as a good Bible commentary. There are DAYS in this universe that are 100,000 years long, as a year is measured upon the earth. From edge to edge of the universe of worlds seems to be a distance of about one light years."—that is, it takes light years to cross the universe, altho light years to the rate of 186,000 miles in a second. When we say that it takes light, which is swifter than the lightning, one million years to cross the universe, we state in words a distance which man can represent in symbols on paper, but which the human mind cannot sort of concept. Our power to experience is limited to the small experiences of this little world, the earth. On the outer edges of this universe are great worlds which turn on axis, as does the earth,—but while a point one mile from the center of such a world may move as slow or even more slowly than does a point in the earth from its center, yet a point on the surface may be on the equator, of such a great world that at an inconceivable rate. Some of these spinning worlds are so large that a point on the surface may come around to the same position in space only once in every 60,000 or even 100,000 years. While the surface of such great orbs moves at such tremendous speeds, points as near their center as the earth's surface is to its center, the surface is inconceivably slow. One turn constitutes a rotation on the giant world may be 100,000 years (earth years.) Verily, a day is a hundred thousand years, and a hundred thousand years is a day.

BRITISHLABOR PARTY TO AID NEGRO CAUSE American Delegates to Pan- African Congress Win Important Assurances from English Leaders in Labor Conference FAVOR UPLIFT OF ALL WORKINGMEN New York.—Dr. W. E. H. Duibuis, secretary of the Pan-African Congress sitting in London and Paris, and Walter F. White, both American delegates, have had an important conference of the English Labor Party in their headquarters in interest of colored workingmen all over the world. The conference was presided over by Sidney Webb, and among those present were Leonard Woolf, the Rev. Hon. J. H. Clynes, the Labor Party leader, William Adams, the Philip Snowden, whose book, *The Pilgrim in Europe*, is a rousing much comment, Sir George Fordham; Dr. Bentham, John H. Harris, of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society; Charles R. Buxton, Dr. Bentham, John H. Gillis, of British West Africa; Angell, John H. Gillis, J. H. Jowett, Dr. DuBois exhibited the case of the Negro workman, emphasizing the imperative necessity of labor atropelate to solve only the problem of white slavery; there was inevitable, and that "until all labor is free, no labor is free." Speaking on behalf of the committee, Sidney Webb stated that the Labor Party wishes first to be kept informed of all matters affecting colored labor which can and should be addressed, to be actioned, and second, that they please the government lend any assistance possible towards the removal of the color bar in labor and elsewhere, whether in England or other countries. In view of the fact that it is largely believed that the Labor Party within a slender body, the most dominant factor in England, and the longest years is likely to be in control of the Government, its attitude in the matter of Negro labor is most important. PENNSYLVANIA G. O. P. FOLLOWS VIRGINIA'S LEAD Penrose Organization Declines To Endorse Colored Candidates for Minor Offices That colored voters in practically all of the States, North as well as South, are going to receive less recognition from the party than has been the case, and that the party has reversed it, is shown in a report of Afro-Americanis is indicated by frequent reports from States that have for years been in the Republican column. It appears that the Republicans' overwhelming victory last fall has had the effect of making the managers feel that the Afro-American vote in Northern and Western States is no longer essential to party success. Following from the Philadelphia Tribune will give an idea of what is taking place in Pennsylvania: "The Voters' League, the working organization of Senator Penrose and Mayor Moore, has, by its action in positively refusing to give their endorsement to a single reputable colored woman, to approach the approaching election, ignored and insulted the representative colored men and women of the race who have presented the cause of the race to the League and have tried to work with them in their reform movements. The organization refused endorse Mrs. Layten, our constitutional delegate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention; they have refused to endorse G. Edward Dickerson for Judge of the Municipal Court; they have refused endorse M. M. Scott for legislative with the League through their chairman, Mrs. Bessie Dobson Alternus, have refused to give consideration to colored women, and have point blank refused to select a single colored woman from any of the representatives of the members of the Women's Auxiliary to the City Committee." Salvation Army Emergency Home Providing Meals and Lodging For the Destitute Three hundred and 150 beds were furnished to men out of work from Aug. 24th to the present time, by the Salvation Army. Unless condition greatly improve the Army will be called upon to provide a larger number before the winter is over. They started out with three men and now they are caring for seventy-seven. These men are given two meals a day and a bed free. The representatives of the Salvation Army are caring for the following contributions for this week: cause: Madame Law, 2 pillow cases, 1 comfort and $1.00; Mrs. K. Pilman, 2 sheets; Mrs. Owens, 2 pillow cases; Mrs. Givens, 1 blanket, 1 oil of shoes and clothes; Dr. Burke, $1.00; Mrs. Price, 2 pillow cases; Mrs. Waker, shoes and coat. There is still great need for contributions, which will be gratefully received by Capt. Bailey. Just drop him a card to 1036 Chapel street. There is mass meeting which was to be at the Attucks Theatre last week has been postponed to October 2nd, at 4 p. m. A warm invitation is extended to all to be present. Whites Lasso Colored Girl; Dragged Her 200 Yards by Automobile Kinston, N. C.—One of the most brutal deeds ever recorded in this section was perpetrated upon Minnie Whitehead, a twelve-year-old colored girl, by several young white men, who massed the girl, snatched her from a buggy in which she was sitting, and dragged her two hundred yards behind an automobile in which the men were riding. They then coily stopped the car, disentangled the beheaded and bleeded girl from the rope and left her behind on the road. She is so badly injured that physicians say she will not live. The men in the automobile were not identified. COLORID PEOPLE REPRESENTED Committee to Entertain Delegates to Conference on Disarmament to Include Colored Citizens Washington, D.

The Hardeman County Training school was dedicated. On all of these occasions assurances were given by white speakers that they stand ready to do every thing they can in the promotion of education. EXPOSURE OF INTER-RACIAL KU KLUX KLAN CONFERENCE IS STARTLING ON PROBLEMS New York World's Investigation And Revelations Start Nation-Wide Inquiry. U. S. Department of Justice Takes Notice of Klan CATHOLICS AND JEWS RETALIATE The Ku Klux Klan of old antirebellion days and the modern Ku Klux Klan got away all right with their antisemitism, but when the operations of antisemitism extended to embrace antagonism to Jews and Catholics the propriety of its existence and usefulness became a question. New York World has completed a complete investigation of organization, ritual and operations of the Ku Klux Klan and is publishing its findings in a series of articles. Since the World began the publication of these articles opposition to the Klan has sprung up in many unexpected places. The governor Edward P. Dunn has some denials and disavowals from public men who were reported to be members of the klan. From Chicago comes a report that an organization known as the National Association of the Klans governor Edward P. Dunn has been formed to offset the klan movement by promoting good feelings between all classes, races and religions in America. It is said that it is the intentions of the society to spread to all classes and to represent the Representative Tague, Democrat, of Massachusetts, has prepared a resolution which he will introduce in congress asking for a congressional investigation of the Ku Kluxman. In a Resident, Va. Tenn., the local chapter of the Klan has been ordered to disband. An article appeared in a New York paper several days ago which claimed that chief of Police Borland of Norfolk had joined the Klan. This publication was followed by a vigorous denial from Chief Borland that he is a member. U. S. Attorney General Daughters is out in a statement that "the government is not to be run or intimidated by any man or organization beheaded or executed, nor to forecast a possible inquiry into the affairs of the klan by the department of justice. In Atlanta, Ga., where, it is reported, all members of the city government have been arrested and an ordinance has been introduced in the city council calling for an investigation of the outfit of the Knights of Columbus, which is a Catholic organization. An ordinance has also been introduced by an Atlanta committee referred to the committee for forbidding inter-racial worship in Atlanta. This is aimed at the Catholic church, it is said. White people, including many government officials, are becoming much more visible to Kai Klux Klan, while colored people are sawing wood and praying as usual. Hanging By Necks "Third Degree" Plan In South Carolina Orangeburg, S. C.-Two colored farmers from St. Stephens, in Berkeley County, came to Orangeburg to lodge complaint against eight white men they charged, took them to the woods on September 12, and hung them by their necks to get information as to who had shot up a road construction camp a few days previous. The men identified by the whites who participated in the charged local counsel, but no official action has been taken by the solicitor. MOVABLE SCHOOLS A picturesque, yet highly practical invention of the Alabama agricultural extension work is the movable school, originated at Tuskegee Institute. It moves in a "tin Lizzie," usually, and comprises one or two trained workers, small models of sanitary farm buildings, and tools for the various home and farm activities to be demonstrated. This outfit finds, at the appointed farmhouse, school, or church an expectant crowd of colored folks who are not just told how to do things, and why, but who are shown the things being done under their very eyes, and for days together. Then it moves on, leaving behind mute, yet elequent witnesses, to the wisdom of mixing brains and agriculture—sprayed fruit trees, a whitewashed chicken house with inmates free from mites, a sanitary toilet, a scientific sweet-potato bed, a screened dwelling, a bugless potato patch, properly cultivated corn and cotton, immunized cattle, and the like. One school recently happened along when the parsonage was being made ready for a new preacher, and gave a lesson in home renovation forthwith. Remnants of paint were removed from the furniture, and stain and varnish applied. Kitchen utensils and tubs were mended. An old square piano, hopelessly past music-making, wasurned into a library table; walks were made, flowers and shrubbery set out, screens made, and an attractive little home left as a permanent teacher in the wake of the vanishing "school" as it honked on its way to its next appointment, leaving the state with a better civilization. PROGRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT PRICE FIVE CENTS Educators and Other Citizens Representing Both Races Held Important Meeting To Reach Understanding Between the Races By T. L. McCon Radeigh, N. C.—There took place in Shaw University, chapel last Thursday and lasting through Friday an annual assembly of elders and white educators from every part of this type and profession was represented, those present being lawyers, doctors of colleges, teachers, heads of secret societies, such as Masons, Knights of Pythians, Odd Fellows, women of the Eastern Star, Household of Ruth, women of women's Clubs and other organizations, conference was at the invitation of Prof. N. C. Newbold, State Director of Negro Education. Prof. Newbold is giving us great encouragement by his marked interment in Negro education. In opening the Newbold said that at the request of Shaw students dent E. C. Brooks he had invited Negro lenders from all parts of the State to join the State authorities (the governor included) in promoting a campaign of good will and encourage, and at the same time to inform of what is being done to better their educational facilities, provide better school houses and equipment and pay teachers better salaries. He then read letters from the school authorities in the schools and towns stating what amount of money appropriated for the building of suitable school houses for Negro children. Ashville, $100,000; Bryson City, $2,000; Carthage, $12,000; Durham, $6,000; Fayetteville, $10,000; Glynn, $7,500; Greensboro, $250,000; Greenville, $35,000; Hamlet, $6,000; High Point, $37,000; Kinston, $0,000; Lenoir, $10,000; Lineolton, $25,000; Madison, $10,000; Marston, $12,000; Maxon, $12,000; Morganton, $12,000; New Bern, $25,000; Old Fort, $860,000; Recidaville, $50,000; Roan Rapid, $25,000; Rocky Mount, $65,000; Sidder $12,000; Smith-Upstate, $10,000; Wadsbury, $15,000; Wadsbury, $15,000; Winston-Salem, $100,000. Added to these amounts, our State Legislature has appropriated from 1917 to 1921, $335,000. If to this is added the appropriation for teachers' salaries and building, the sum total is $3,350,500. Prof. Newbold then spoke of the many things that were said in the year of the best campaign for governor of the Negro citizens, and for which Gov. Morrison bore the stigma, but that he was sure the governor was not as bitter towards the Negro as picnic amounts of money he were, no such large education would have received his approval. He said that the white people had decided to give the colored citizens a fair deal, and that they have to have high schools and colleges with "white" but at present there were not enough Negro teachers qualified to man these institutions. Following Prof. Newbold's brief outline of North Caro- mia program for Negro education many educators addressed the conference. After the speaking Prof. Newbold requested any member of the conference to ask questions on any subject Johnson, of Salisbury, asked why the money collected for school purposes is not equally divided per capita among the white and colored children of school age. This question confused Johnson, of Salisbury, who replied, "It is not," but gave no explanation. Prof. Johnson said, "Because of this fact Negro children are unable to compare favorably in school with being inferior to white children. After the white speakers had many times pronounced the word Negro nigger, it was very gratifying to the man, evidently a Northerner, pronounced the word correctly. The writer immediately arose and thanked the speaker for his correct pronunciation. Hearty applause followed the term "nigger" was heard no more. --- Dr. W. L. Potent, president of Wake Forest Forest College, delivered a most pleasing address on the subject. The State Department sent a grintendent E. C. Brooks favored the conference with a delightful as well as instructive address. He assured his audience that the white people are sincerely interested in the education of African Americans, effort would be made to qualify Negro teachers so that their certificates would be equal to that of the white teachers. All who heard Supt. Brooks' address went away feeling well prepared for the time spent in this conference. An impromptu meeting of the members of this conference was held and the following named persons were so honored: Dr. A. M. Moore, of the Committee," to confer with a like number of white citizens. The chairman, Dr. A. M. Moore, of Durham, called a meeting to take place in this conference. State Interracial Committee, colored section: Dr. A. M. Moore, chairman, Durham; Dr. G. A. Gakin, Winston-Salem; Dr. J. H. Shepard, Durham; Rev. R. V. Wilmington; Dr. C. Suggs, Chicago; G. H. Brown, Sedalia; Mrs. H. L. McClary, Charlotte; Prof. L. H. Graves, Raleigh; Dr. A. M.

Pierce, President) The twelfth annual fair of the Tidewater Fair Association will be held at Suffolk, October 18-19-20 and 21. Already, plans are bong put forth by the officers to make the coming fair one that will celipse all previous fairs given by this corporation. This association, with an authorized capital stock of $20,000 is a direct outgrowth of the Farmers Association of Nansenmond County which was organized a little over a decade ago, for the purpose of improving and ameliorating the condition of the colored farmers. The farmers association had a definite program embracing increased productivity, intensive cultivation, better health, better morals, better care of farm implements, releasing the Colored youth for better educational advantages, and improving the social intercourse among the people. This program has been closely followed. It is not uncommon to hear farmers testify to the fact that this association has been a real stimulus in their lives. It has put the real ginger into their minds and bodies. Concrete evidences are available throughout the county where the Colored farmer has improved anywhere from 50 to 80 percent, over their old methods of doing things, and that their general achievements in line with this program, have increased and improved in practically the same ratio. Especially is this true among those who have actively identified themselves with the farmers association. Those who have not, also feel its influence which keeps them a little restless. The Tidewater Fair Association has practically the same program for its contemplation, and is carrying it out even to a greater extent. It was organized in the spring of 1914 as a corporation with a capital stock of $10,000. The stock put upon the market was readily sold. From the beginning, the corporation gave all signs of a successful venture. The capital stock, after three or four years, was raised $10,000 more, giving the present capital of $20,000. There is a chance yet to buy some of the last stock at $15.00 per share, $10.00 par. The Tidewater Fair Association has operated successfully every year since its beginning, paying a dividend each year, during its existence, no less than 10%. When this organization was created in the spring of 1914, there was not a foot of land upon which it was to operate. But before the fall of that year at which time the first fair was to be held, a place was secured through the uniting efforts and keen insight of the present manager and the official staff out from the city of Suffolk on the National concrete highway which brings Norfolk and vicinity into close communicating distances, with least difficulty in transposition, with Suffolk. So today the Tidewater Fair Association operates upon its own ground of 33 acres or more, fully paid for and uninmembered with a great many improvements involving large sums of money, in buildings and other necessary appurtenances to the successful operation of the fair each year. The management, with the officers, is sparing no pains to bring this corporation up to the standard which is a part of its comprehensive program. This association is working hard to bring the agricultural forces together in a definite co-operative scheme, not TWELFTH AVE TIDEWATER FARM SUFFOLK, October 18, 19 Program Oct. 18th—Speaking and Singing by the OCT. 19th—Farmers' Day Addresses—Prof. Agents, and I.

It contemplates, in the near future, the turning of the trend of county exhibits of the entire state to this fair each fall. Thereby hoping to make this a state fair among our group. There is no better evidence than the fact of nineteen counties' exhibits here last year from the boys clubs, with a possible increase this year, from all indications. Its program for the four days fain this year, October 18-19-20 and 21 is on par with those of previous years, for general uplift of our people. It lays street upon the material, social, moral and educational values of our people, and attempts to create new avenues for their attainment. This is done by farm exhibits, including grain, poultry, live stock and other agricultural products that will suggest help to those who will observe. The program is varied so that every one who attends might find his or her special amusement and entertainment. The domestic science department affords a great opportunity in stimulating interest in that sort of work. Here we have exhibits in art-craft, needle work, basketry and weaving second to none. We lay great emphasis upon this department, which is fostered bq some of the most conscientious women obtainable. To go through this department is an education to the girls and women who visit the fair. An invitation is extended to all the girls and women to send their work into this department for exhibition. The premium list is large; and there is room for all to send in some work that is creditable. Horse racing will take place each day which is another feature of the fair that receives its propotional amount of emphasis as a necessary part of the successful running of the fair at present. Good music, good speaking and a large variety of amusements to satisfy and please all who come. Disapproval and discouragement are shown on the part of the officers to everything that is not elevating and tends to disturb the decent social and moral atmosphere. The management and board of directors endeavor each year to make such improvement that will insure more comfortable accommodations to the patrons, to the end that physical appearance of the grounds and its environs will be brought to such a point of exactness, that the people all over the state will look forward to this annual fair and place, as a Mecca for the gathering of our people, who will vie with one another as to who shall get the most pleasure, entertainment and help from their visit. With the opening of the various colleges and schools many of our young men and women are leaving each day to resume their studies. Miss Christine Tharpe left Sunday, 15th, for Cheney, Pa.; Miss Agnes Tharpe, the 20th, for Howard; Misses Erma Richardson, Helen Mae Estes, Misses Bleddyn Johnson, Flossie Hill, Tallmah Harris, Cliffon Everett, Ferguson, Messrs.

Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Norfolk, Virginia SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 THE WORLD'S EXPOSURE OF THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE The exposure of the origin, aims and activities of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, by the New York World, begun in its issue September 8th, which service has been used daily by a syndicate of some twenty of the most important daily newspapers in various sections of the country, has constituted one of the most important and far-reaching services ever rendered by an American newspaper. The World has shown that the organization is not only a reasonable one, in that it sets up a government within the jurisdiction of the Government of the United States, but that its purposes are distinctly dangerous to the peace and order of the communities in which it operates. The World declares that the antagonism of the organization is aimed against the Jew, the Negro, the Catholic and the Foreign Born and so far repugnant to American institutions as to be not only a criminal but a mercenary organization. The World proves its extraordinary contention by the publication of documents in every way authentic, and by inside facts which cannot be disputed. The World declares, and with apparent truth, that "the Negro has become a secondary consideration" with the Ku Klux organization. It would seem so, although we are not disposed to have our interests separated from those of the Jew, the Catholic and the Foreign Born. We shall stand a better chance of securing justice and fair play when our interests are identical with those of the white groups made the objects of the Klan's activities. A body of public sentiment in all sections of the country is being made against the Klan organization which cannot be whistled down the wind. Municipalities and States are enacting measures to dominate the organization and put it out of business, and the Department of Justice, at Washington, has put in motion an investigation with the view to find if it can be reached by existing law, and, if not, so that law may be originated by act of Congress to do so. The law and machinery of law we now have should be sufficient for all purposes of government. We do not need any super-government responsible to no one and working in darkness. The people are being aroused to the fact, by the disclosures of the World and the Nation-wide discussion of the subject. "Error cannot prevail when truth is free to combat it." INTIMIDATING OUR RAIL- ROAD WORKERS Last winter three firemen on the Yazoo Division of the Illinois Central Railroad were called from their engines by the display of the red light and shot to death from ambush. All of the efforts of the State and railroad authorities, it was said, were unable to hunt down the assassins, who gave it out that they intended to drive from the railroad service all "Negro trainem." Quite recently three men were indicted for these crimes, the United States Department of Labor having taken a hand in the matter, the report alleged, to whose attention it had been called last winter. "A Citizen," writing in the Memphis Commercial Appeal of August 2, who appears to be unusually fair-minded, has the following to say on the subject of "Intimidation of Negro Firemen": "I enclose you herewith a clipping of your great paper of this date, referring to intimidation being practiced on Negro firemen. "That there is an element in society which is capable of taking any such position against their fellowman earning his bread by the sweat of his face demands the apprehension of thinking men and women of this country and the immediate application of the strong arm of the law. "Since I was first old enough to remember Negroes have been permitted to work as firemen and brakemen on all Southern railroads, and I am loath to believe that at this late date the best thinking Southern citizenry will permit a gang of hoodlums and outlaws to take charge of matters in any such outrageous way. "It has long since become one of the traditions of the South that the Negro would always be given equal opportunity to work and earn an honest living. Is this lofty tradition of right and justice now to be trampled upon by this bunch of law-breakers and murderers? We face a condition and not a theory." The writer of that article is a 100 per cent. American, such as we hear so much about, and so few of whom have the courage to come out flatfootedly for justice and fairplay. May his tribe increase. The conspiracy to run Afro-American trainmen out of the service was started by a Northern worker on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, at Newport News quite eighteen months ago, but the conspiracy has not prospered. The trial of it way down on a Mississippi railroad branch has not intimidated our railroad workers as it was thought it would, the strong organization of them at Memphis having declared that they would not be intimidated nor driven from the service. That is the stand to take everywhere. If we can't work at the occupation we are best fitted for and which is open to us, because of secret conspiracy, we should stand our ground and brave the conspiracy to a stand still. There will always be a very large and respectable body of white persons to uphold us in doing so. CRIMES OF VIOLEENCE There is an outbreak of crime in all parts of the country which keeps the police power busy and creates more or less of unrest and uncertainty among law-abiding citizens, who do not know what to expect, in the matter of their lives and property. All sorts of reasons are given to explain the existence of such a condition. The world war is held responsible for turning mankind upside down. It is not sufficiently considered, however, that most crimes of violence against person and property are traceable to the fact that people do not have too much freedom, too much liberty, but that they abuse it, make a license of what should be a sacred obligation of the most vital of the guarantees of self-government. A great many people do not respect the police power at all, punishment of violators of the public peace and order not deterring others from offending, as it should. People grow reckless and criminal when they have too much prosperity just as they do when they have too little. The extreme of either condition works for a criminal development of the beast in most people. They have a double nature, as poor Judas Iscariot had it; and no sooner betray themselves into wrong doing than they regret it. When a policeman says his strong hand upon them they wake up to the danger into which they have allowed themselves to be overpersuaded. We have too many crimes of violence all over. If people would be more thoughtful of the consequences of wrong doing they would oftener than they do deny themselves the disgrace and inconvenience of getting into troubles, especially troubles caused by a hasty temper. Press Opinions Masks and Mobs The Georgia State Committee on Inter-Racial Co-operation, composed entirely of women, clearly states the case against mob and masked violence when it deplores both as throw-backs to savagery. As most acts of mob violence are done in vengeance for outraged womanhood the protest from the women themselves is significant. As stated by the committee there is no extenuation for crime, be it brutal offense by individuals or masked violence by mob. Womanhood should be protected, but not by criminals. Especially is this so when such acts as mobs indulge in tend to shatter the community's sense of security and to breed a lawless spirit that recognizes no limitations. Mob or masked violence strikes at the very roots of civilization and undermines constituted authority. This is true, whether it goes in gangs assembled on the spur of the moment and under the whip of passion, or in bodies regularly organized to enforce their lawless law from behind masks that afford a coward's protection—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. THE KU-KLUX KLAN ONCE MORE People who believe in rule by secret organizations should get out of the United States and go to Russia. They are a menace to American institutions and American ideals.—Daily Oklahoman, Oklahoma.

The secrecy of an order presuming to take part in law and government is itself its condemnation in a democracy.—Wesleyan Advocate, Atlanta, Ga. FINANCE AND BUSINESS BY B. C. FORBES In Washington Times Andrew Carnegie laid the foundation for his enormous fortune by buying out his early partners who lost heart when acute depression overtook the steel industry. Henry C. Fricke did exactly the same thing in coke. He bought out his associates in the name of 1873, when coke was selling for less than it cost—but within a few years Fricke was making a million dollars a year from coke. The business men of America have been undergoing just as severe tests as Carnegie's or Fricke's partners were subjected to, and it is hard to believe even certain men and certain concerns have come to the front while others have dropped behind. SIFTING TO BOTTOM When, you sift clear down to the bottom of things you usually find that the difference between success and failure is chiefly a matter of courage as contrasted with cowardice. Unfortunately, since the ill-starred war boom burst there have been far more exhibitions of cowardice than of courage among the financial and business men of this country. It will turn out to be true this time, just as burned out during previous periods of disaster, that men divided into two main classes—the quitters and the stickers, the stout-hearted and the white-livered. And also as on previous occasions, the winners will be those who wholly surmounted to possessim who didn't conclude that things would never go well again. The Miners' War (by Wm. Pickens—the Aso. Negro Press) Of course, the United States Government must insist upon law and order in West Virginia, at any price—for any other price is cheaper than the price of law and order. "War" made by any faction must be put down. But that is not all Since Federal troops must be called to put down the rebellion, after the rebellion is put down it will be the duty of the general government to thoroughly investigate the causes of the trouble, and to see that the wrong things are readjusted to right, so that the trouble may not recur. It would be a sad mistake for the Federal government to merely go in and stop the miners and re-subject them to the state and the mine operators, and then wash its hands and step out. For that would say to the miners: "All government and the army are on the side of the mine operators, your enemies. The National government is one of your enemies, and your most dangerous enemy. For as long as the mine owners, your little enemy, can get the better of you, they will be left to handle you: but as soon as ever you seem to be about to get the upper hand in the struggle, then the all-powerful government will take the place of the mine owners and crush you." This would create more Bolshevism than a thousand agents of Lenin could ever stir up. And a democracy like ours, which is already used to mobocracy, holds greater terrors in lawlessness than any European nationality. If this country ever turns "red", it will make Russia look pale blue. All who love American civilization, should insist that the general government act out the whole role of impartial mediator, and after restoring order, see that justice is done and wrongs righted. The simplest miner knows that the same power which is strong enough to put down their wrong-doing, can also put down the wrong-doing of the mine operators and their hired thugs, if that power wants to do so. And the mind of the miner will be watching to see if that is done. If it is not done, the simple minds will reach the plain and inevitable conclusion that government is but the ally, or worse still the reserve power, of the wealthy oppressor. For example, all those "guards" and arrest officers clothed in the power of the state and bearing arms, should be under the absolute control of the state government and not under the pay and therefore in the control of the mine owners. Hirelings will serve their master, and neither the general community nor the miners can ever get a square deal from the hirelings of the mine operator. The mine property should be taxed sufficiently to pay the cost of policing it, but the police power and the policemen should be under the control of the state and general community; as the great property of the cities is protected. But a police force in the hands of corporations or of individuals, a police force hired by one party to a contract, is a force of thugs. How would the mine owners fare if the policemen were all in the pay of the miners' unions? Such officers cannot be impartial. The Federal Government goes into NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE LOSED DOORS DO NOT DETER THE MASTER The Inevitables of Life Are Made Solacing Through This Fact, the Rev. Mr. Bowling Tells His Congregation Speaking on the above subject, using as text John 20:19, the Rev. Richard H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist church, brought to the attention of his congregation last Sunday morning the fact that locked and bolted doors do not deter the Master, especially when there is an inexertable love between Him and His children. The story of how the discouraged and cure-worn disciples had assembled behind closed doors to talk of their appeal. Saviour and how he miraculously helped his assist, displaying His hands and sides to convince them it was He, was the nucleus from which the Rev. Mr. Bowling based his sermon of "Closed Doors that do not Deter the Master." "The Door of Trouble," continues the minister, built of "rough boards of need and poverty, cross sections of hinge and finger, hinges of hate, scerwed on with slander, locks and fastenings of disgrace and shame," is not too strong a door for the Master. As He came to Paul a prisoner on a foundering wreck; delivered Peter out of the hand of Herod; came to John Bunyan in Bed-Jall. He will come to those whose hearts are bowed down by weight and way. "But, there are other doors," the pastor said, "which do not deter the Master. The doors of failing health and old age. People fight frantically to keep these twin doors open. That accounts for the so-called merry widows who attempt to rejuvenate by overdressing, etc. the old man with their feet in the grave who yet speak of being out with the 'boys'. But it is all in vain. For the doors of sickness and senility slowly but surely turn on their noiseless hinges, and every single one of us is gradually lecked in." But, the congregation was advised that "if the heart within keeps beating in tune with high aims is equal warning given; Beneath us lie the countless dead, and far above is heaven. Death rides on every passing breeze. And lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease. Its perils every hour." "But," the pastor says, speaking of the door of death, "thank God, even this dreaded door cannot deter the Master. This is the same Jesus that told Lazarus to 'come forth'; this is the same Jesus who Himself stood at the cross roads of Heaven and hell and died and cried with triumphant shout, 'Into Thy hands I commend My spirit.'" "Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark! And many there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark. "For the 'from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar." "Jesus can come to us in spite of fastened doors," the minister said in conclusion. "But, He will not come, unless we are ready to receive Him." West Virginia much as the dean of a college goes into a classroom when the teacher reports a general insurrection of her pupils and the temporary collapse of her authority and influence. The first thing, of course, is not the righting of wrongs and the measuring out of justice, but the restoration of order. But after order was restored, it would be a poor dean that would drop the matter there. Any government that would drop the mater at that point would be a poor government. When the United States army steps in, it is no longer an affair merely of West Virginia authorities, but of the whole nation,—of every single state,—for every single state is back of the government of the nation. It is therefore the duty and the obligation of the whole nation to see that the right thing is done in West Virginia. Primary Electon In A Northern City—(Part II) (By MRS. IRA STUART) (Continued from recent issue) "How do you do, have you voted yet?" "No we haven't got time to bother with it." "Won't you take time and help our Negro candidate in this ward?" "No, I ain't going to bother about it. I ain't bothered about nothing but pork chops." The white man gives a giggle of satisfaction at this display of ignorance and "don't care" wit. Here is a Negro living down to my expectation of him, he thinks. We ask him, 'Have you voted yet?' "No, I haven't time." "We answer him, 'You know you are not telling the truth.' He does not answer and we feel sure that he has told the lie to appear ignorant and foolish to give the Negro chance to go down one notch lower—which chance was eagerly taken. We left them all laughing in loud idiotic cuffaws. By this time it was two o'clock, and we are due at the Juvenile Court to appear with a committee of other Negro citizens to support the Probate Judge who is endeavoring to get the Prosecuting Attorney to present to the Grand Jury, the case of a white man who had so contributed to the delinquency of a fourteen year old Negro girl that she gave birth to a child last month. The man is married and the father of two children. The girl is a child in every respect, so much so that a Censerian operation was necessary at the time of the baby's birth. The Assistant Prosecuting TIDEWATER TALKS ON THRIFT BY EDWARD A. BAKER Assistant Treasurer Tidewater Bank & Trust Co When a man has the moral courage to cut out a great many unnecessary expenditures and save money for really use- ful purposes he is a free man. All please help live a more satisfying lives if they su- mere. Living on a salary is When a man has the moral courage to cut out a great many unnecessary expenditures that may be really useful purposes he is a man. All classes might live more satisfying lives if they save more. Living on a salary is more or less a precarious form of existence, but it is not wise for every man to go in business for himself. Some men are not fitted, for that responsibility. But if you never save any money your salary you always will be the tailor of your kite; always stoking to keep up steam in the boilers of somebody elses business. Plan your course so that you will not always be dependent on your salary. Build up a reserve fund. From time to time make wise investments, and in a comparatively few years you can become independent, and in the meantime you can work and more of it because your mind will be relied of the anxiety as to what would happen if your regular income should be cut off. It is a wise rule to set aside a certain part of your income regularly and put this in a Savings Account as an insurance against the future. Look at the money that must be paid. As your income increases, then increase your Savings. MOVING TIME TO THE TIDEWATER BANK & TRUST COMPANY A Live Bank in a Live City 738 Church St., Norfolk Virginia Attorney, after seeing the girl, tells us he will do what he can. However, he shows where he stands relative to us by calling attention to the possible effect the Negro girl against a white man may have before a white jury. We realize the jury is almost sure to be white, but we look at the girl us she sits on the chair, she is so small that her head does not reach the top of the chair back, and we tell him we are willing to risk our ease. Tired, discouraged, heart-sick and almost hopeless with the outlook, we remember that the official in that office was elected by popular vote last fall. The people, the Negroes especially, must have been as indifferent to the Primary election then as they are now. When the election day came they had left only a choice of two dilemmas. The vote. How men have died to give it to their children and like most fortunes inherited, the heirs mis-use or waste it. We wonder which is the best way, to give or to ward it. We think of the tons of printed matter, the energy spent in speech-making, the millions of words that have tumbled from the lips of speakers, all trying to teach the multitude the value of the ballot and to get them to use it. We think of the old saying, "In one ear and out the other." We wonder why some of it doesn't stick. But we also remember the whale who strains an awful lot of, worthless water for its food, but is fed. We determined to keep on, may be during our life time we will be able to say on or two words about this matter that will serve as food and help the people to grow and think. Colored Women of The Presbyterian Church Will Meet (By Mamic Bays.) Roanoke, Va.,—Under the direction and supervision of the Women's Auxiliary of the Southern Presbyterian Church three conferences for colored women are being held this year. The first at the Christianburg Industrial Institute, at Cambria, Va., the second at Stillman Institute, Tuscaloosa, Ala., during the week of September 10-17; and the third at Gammon Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., September 17-24. A carefully arranged program has been prepared for these conferences the outstanding features of which will be Bible study, talks on community betterment, sanitation, care of children, and of the sick, sewing and playground work. This program will be presented during each day of the conference and at night there will be addresses by ministers, missionaries, and well known conservative colored leaders. This will be the sixth session of the conference held at Tuscaloosa, this having been the first conference in the interest of colored women to be established in the South, so far as is known. At the session of this conference last year almost one hundred colored women were present sa deleterious women in the town and eleven towns. So successful was this conference proven that Mrs. W. C. Winsborough, superintendent of the woman's auxiliary, has been urged to establish similar conferences for the colored women in other states and two additional were arranged for this year. Mrs. J. C. Snedecor, of Tuscaloosa, is in charge of the event at that city and Mrs. Winsborough is the leader of the one at Cambria, and the one at Atlanta. Members of the woman's auxiliary throughout the territory of the church have been urged to bring these conferences to the attention of leafing colored women were present as delegates to assist in making it possible for one delegate at least, to attend the needs of the conference. The expense needed to the conferences is very little and members of the women's auxiliary express themselves that the holding of these conferences is fully justified by the results accomplished among the delegates attending the same.

Tt seems that the word "Fraternic ty” wields a magic influence over our group. More of us are attracted to seerel orders in proportion to our numbers than any other single group in America. We are sometimes eriti- cized by our would-be leaders Sor this seeming weakness. ‘They -claim it ix an evidence of a lack of self reliance aud independence, that’ we oither imagine ourselves always sick, or ure in constant feur 8 being so, and that we consequently join everything that comes along and are continuously ereating something new. to join in order that we may be well taken care of when we are sick and given a “big funeral" when we die. ; It is true that the so-called “bie funeral" with its band and other use- less und senseless folderol, with the resulting loss of time from gainful und constructive enterprises and in- dustries Ly % constantly facreusiny, number of otherwise industrious and | thrifty members of our group is a hi: economi loss that should enjiace the attention of our Lest thought “| effort, it is none the less true that the underlying principles moving us to desire to be closely allied and con- nected in the, various lodges, elubs, ete. thet we have are the same as: pirations, aims and desires that gives us the distinetion of being the most religious and the greatest church- going: group in America. Fraternity comes from the latin, Frater, or Fraternalis, meaning, brother, or in a brotherly spirit. “The French’ “Refreitoive” and “Refec- torium,” meaning religious and the room in a religious house where nicals are taken, have the same latin root, “Frater.” From thig it is palpnble that it ro~ quires no stretch of the imagination for one to conclude that our religious and fraternal organizations are in their very nature very closely allied and have for their aim the same gen- eral purpose, a recognition of the common brotherhood of man, the Fatherhood of God and the general uplift and betterment, of humanity. Such is the aim of Fraternity, and knowing we are right we shall not be ashamed of criticisms, but we are g0- ing to learn to stop squandering mon- ey so foolishly not only ypon the fun- erals above mentioned, but for so many conventions, eté., of which the railroads of the country are the cheif beneficiaries, The Grand Lodge of the I. B. P. 0. E. of W. convened in Boston, Mass., August 28rd, with an attendance of nearly one thousand delegates from thirty-two States, Nassau, B. I, and Panama. Tt was'decidedly the great- ‘est. session ever held in the history of the Order. A striking feature of the public demonstrations was the grand street parade, in which five thousand par- tigipated. There were nineteen bands in line, ineluding six white bands. In spite of this fact, the Excelsior Brass and Reed Band of Norfolk won first Rrize for muste, Imperial Lodge ot New York City won first prize for uniforms and marching. ‘The parade was reviewed by Lieutenant Governor Fuller of Massachusetts and Mayor Peters of Boston, who declared them- selves well pleased with the showing made, ee The following Norfolk ladies at tended the Grand Temple sessions in Boston and extended their trip to Now York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Washington and other Northern ‘and Eastern points: Men: dames Emma V, Kelly, Buena V.

MOTON Principal of Tuskewage Institute (Reprinted from The Times, London) VI.—PROGRESS IN CITIZENSHIP But the most recent proofs of the progress of the race are in the sphere of citizenship, as revealed in the most striking manner by the wra. Here the Negro manifested in full measure II the traits that go to make a worthy citizen. In the draft he furnished not only his full quota, but in the five Southern States, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana, he furnished a majority of the men drafted into the service. In the end it was revealed that of those examined for the draft 75.60 per cent. of the Negroes were accepted on the basis of physical fitness against 69.71 per cent. of the whites. The race is justly proud of the record of these men both at home and abroad. The first soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force to be decorated for bravery were two Negroes, Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, members of the 369th Infantry, formerly the 15th New York National Guard. Four entire Negro regiments, the 369th, the 370th, the 371st, the 372nd, and the 1st battalion of another Negro regiment, the 367th, were awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French military authorities for heroism in action. In addition there were altogether some 400 individual Negro American soldiers who were given medals of honor for bravery in action. In the face of such conduct, it is nothing short of a libel upon the race to say that American institutions are in danger if the Negro is accorded the rights and privileges of American citizenship to which his constant loyalty entitles him. WORK IN THE WAR In civil life the Negro made as splendid a record during the war as he did in camp and overseas. In labor and financial contributions Negroes gave unstinted support to the Government. Much of war industry was kept alive by Negro labor, which took the place of the foreign labor which left for Europe at the beginning of the war. Crop production in the South made its great advance at this time with Negro labor, which produced more food than the South ever produced before. Perhaps Negroes did not save a great deal of food in the aggregate, for the ration of the Negro has never been too liberal. What saving was done was accomplished, perhaps, in largest measure by skillful manipulation in the homes of their employers. But Negroes, like other American citizens, had an unrestricted chance to show their loyalty in the various war measures that called for financial support from all classes. Out of their limited means Negroes contributed in the several Liberty Loans, War Savings Stamp Campaigns, the Red Cross, and the United War Work Campaigns more than $225,000,000 ($45,000,000). These contributions came from people in all walks of life—dry laborers, cooks, bootblacks, professional men and women, and even from convicts in mines and prisons, likewise from Negro banks, insurance companies and fraternal organizations. The amounts contributed range from 15c. (7½d.), the entire worldly wealth of Gilbert Denham, an 87-year-old Negro of Greenville, Alabama, to the purchase of $100,000 (£20,000) worth of Liberty Bonds by a Negro farmer, David H. Faines, of Louisiana. In one town of North Carolina, the quota for that section was subscribed entirely by colored people, so that it was necessary to increase the quota to give the whites a chance. In all of this there was a spontaneity and loyalty that put not a few groups of other American citizens to shame. In short, American Negroes, in spite of injustice and discrimination, were 100 per cent, loyal throughout the war, which is all the more remarkable when we consider that many of those who thought they knew him best expected him to be not only backward and hesitating, but positively disloyal. Nor does his record stop with the war. Since the war no group of people has given less trouble, no group has created less friction in American life than have the 12,000,000 Negroes scattered in all parts of the country. Where there has been trouble, where there has been friction, unbiased investigation has proved that it was not started by Negroes, but Negroes were found to be quick and ready to defend themselves wherever attacked. In spite of predictions to the contrary the returned Negro soldier has been found to make as good a citizen as he did a soldier; in fact, it is generally agreed that the Army improved the vast majority of those who went through its training and discipline. VII.—CONCLUSION This condensed review of Negro progress since emancipation does not, of course, tell the full story of his achievements. Many things both interesting and important have been left out. But enough has been given to lay a foundation for two conclusions: first, that the Negro has made good use of the freedom which came to him in the sixties and the limited opportunities which came with it, and this has not only been without pre- judice to the best interests of the South, but has been most positive in its contribution to the welfare of the South, and the nation as a whole. In the second place, the conclusion may safely be drawn that, in this period of readjustment for all groups comprised in American national life, the nation as well as the South will not be backward in according the Negro ample protection in his home, unrestricted opportunity for his labor, impartial administration of the law, equitable disposition of public funds in all that pertains to civil life, and an ungrudging participation in all those interests that command the support and loyalty of worthy American citizens. There is ample evidence today that the American conscience has had an awakening to the justice of these claims. Magazines and newspapers are giving more space to the discussion of Negro life and activity. There is a greater freedom of utterance on the subject, with less of bitterness and intemperance. This is particularly true of the South, and since the war white men and black men in the South have met with a surprising frequency and cordiality for the discussion of those things that affect their common interests. THE INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION Out of this atmosphere has grown a body known as the Inter-Racial Commission, whose specific purpose is the organizing of committees of white men and colored men who shall work for the equitable and peaceful adjustment of such difficulties between the races as may arise from time to time in their local communities, and for the prevention, wherever possible, of such friction as may lead to rioting and mob violence, and to secure a proper consideration of the needs and claims of Negro citizens in all matters affecting the common welfare. Such committees have been organized in nearly every county in the South, and their work, though quiet and unobtrusive, is producing results that even the most sanguine had not dared to expect at the outset. The prospect has never been brighter for carrying forward a not, equitable, advancement. Not the least significant in this direction has been the recent proposal of President Harding in his Message at the opening of Congress, calling for the appointment of a National Inter-Racial Commission for the study of the problem and the recommendation of appropriate legislation. This Commission, as proposed, is to work in harmony with other agencies and Commissions already established for the protection and advancement of the interests of the Negro citizens of America. With such a body, having behind it the weight of the authority of the National Government, and having the support and co-operation of public officials of the several States, there is every reason to hope that the future of the Negro in America will continue to be, as it has been in the past, more promising than that of any similar group of Negroes anywhere else in the world.

E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham. The birth of the idea to establish an historical association for the Negroes of North Carolina, which culminated in the above action, grew out of the publication of a biographical sketch of the life of the late John Merrick, well known business man of Durham. The association adopted this book as its first official document and hopes to gather and publish records and doings of Negroes all over the State and thereby add to the inner enrichment of the Negro people.

By O, F, Woodlen THE UNEMPLOYED Amid the great Kaleidoscope thru which is visualized the destiny of human existence, I observe that one of the spots which is marrying the beauty of the earth is solving by gradual processes of experiments; viz, the "Future for the Unemployed". Smith's rule of labor was, "He who works can eat." In the early days of the seventeenth century when the Captain Smith was laying the warp by which the bulwark was placed, the task was to get the warp to work. During the World War austenance. During the war a high pitch of emotion and excitement. Capital and Labor face each other as the Allies did their work against the enemies. The signing of Armies brought about a cessation in hostilities but increased the unsettled differences between Capital and Labor. The closure of France lay devastated at the close of the war, even so lay the future of Labor before the world today. And this prostrated future is to be bright employment of the Unemployed. The unemployed of Norfolk, as is given out by the various labor unions, totals around 12,000 persons. The decision of the City Manager estimate of the number of unemployed is an enormous amount for this locality. The most serious part of it all is that the number of unemployed is so great that the season when life is even autumn, the season when life is winter, vocational activities seem greatest. When the ice grasp of winter comes and the North wind in its itsy causes a snow blanket of ice spread across the earth, then is the time of terrible suffering among the unemployed. Too much energy cannot be put into the work of the Charities in order to relieve the impending suffering of the unemployed. Mrs. Peebles, her sister, Mrs. Mary R. Hill, and her son, Joseph, have returned to their home in Ave. A, after spending their vacation at the home her husband's father in Emporia Va.

They over 200 concerts in a period of eight months, and traveled over 3,000 miles. They report musical interest greatly increased and attribute much of this to the good work done in the South, especially by the Williams Singers, who with their semi-chassian program, have brought a larger group of people to the place where they are ready to receive a program of more musical merit. The trio, after a few weeks' rest, will again take up their concert work.

Howard and Brown (in private life Mr. and Mrs. Howard) have the distinction of having been the first col- ored act to play Mr. Lowe's two-million-dollar State theatre, New York. Mr. Howard is formerly of the team of Howard and Cendlock, one of our best dancing acts. Henry Miller, the magician, has closed with the Phillips Comedy Co. and is preparing to play churches and clubs under the management of Aubrey R. Saunders. He is at present at 320 West Walker street, Denison, Texas. John T. Gibson, owner of the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, has been selected by President Starr, of the Theatre Owners' Booking Association to be the special Eastern representative of the circuit. The circuit is complimented. It is fortunate to obtain the active services of such an astute showman. Mr. Gibson is more —he is an all-round business man of unusual calibre. Berni Barbour, who helped since "Put and Take," was obliged to go to the Wright Sanitarium, Newark, immediately after the opening. He remained ten days. When he returned he was greeted with the salutation: "There's Mr. BooHoo. How are you?"

Daily. “Courtesy” our Watchword NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Joyland Girls, EDGAR MARTIN Dunbar Theatre Bought By Mr. John T. Gibson John T. Gibson The Dunbar Theatre at Broad and Lombard streets, has seen bought by Mr. Gibson, owner of the Standard Theatre and Gibson streets. Full payment was made by Mr. Gibson to Mr. E. C. Brown, President of the Dunbar Amusement Corporation on September 17th, 1921, for a consideration of $120,000. This was the largest real estate deal in the city of Philadelphia last week, and set a precedent as the biggest financial promotion in the city. A member of the race, Mr. Gibson also holds the distinction of being the only colored man in the United States who owns two big-time theatres, the Dunbar and the five hundred thousand dollars. It is in keeping with the belief of many that Mr. Gibson shall, within the next ten years, do for the colored theatrical industry what Mr. Keid did for the whites. When seen by our reporter, Mr. Gibson was busy dictating his plans for further lighting and decorating the Dumbar as the former "Dunbar" shall henceforth be known. He stopped sufficiently long to say, "I shall all times endeavor to give the public the best and most wholesome amusement moment to express my sincere thanks to the people of Philadelphia for their undivided and unwavering support for the past eight years. This experience more than any other active promotion me to purchase the Dunbar Theatre in order that my people might have another high-class theatre where they can come and bring their families and friends to see their favorite of their color, just as I first made it possible in the beautiful New Standard Theatre, the first colored theatre in Philadelphia for all the people, excepting not even the hue of their shirt." "I take this opportunity to positively assure the colored people of Philadelphia, though I have been approached by white interests to sell them the colored people, and no amount money will deter from making it UNDI HELEN THOMAS No finest and most popular amusement house in the world for colored peacocks. The grand opening of "Gibon's New Dunbar Theatre" will be the latter part of September. Watch for the date.

SUFFOLK DISPUTES CHURCHLAND'S PROTEST In our issue of September 17, there appeared an article in which Churchland Giants protested against the decision of a game played against them.

The Suffolk Sunbeams are willing to play the Churchland Giants at any price they desire. This control is important, because the team is getting together and playing it off.
