PULLMAN PORTERS MEET Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III. NO. 8 Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Edge. Saint Paul Minnesota FORMER SLAVE IS OPTIMIST; DOES NOT WORRY SELF Chummed With Youngest Son Who Lost Sight in World War and Died Last Year. On Easter Sunday, 1844, Fielding Combs was born into slavery at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where his parents were owned by the firm of Murdock & Dixon, auctioneers. Tuesday, in St. Paul, Fielding Combs celebrated his eightieth birthday because in 1844 Easter Sunday was on March 25. Mr. Combs came to St. Paul in 1862 when the city's principal claim to distinction was as a shipping terminal for the Hudson Bay Trading company. He has lived in St. Paul ever since. He has watched the city grow and as he has watched it, while others who were here at that time have grown old and died, he has kept young and developed a philosophy of life to which he attributes his happy old age. Advice to Meddlers. "Don't worry," is a large part of that philosophy. "It doesn't do anybody any good and it just wears the worrier out. Don't try to tell other people how to live. Maybe you can see farther than your neighbor. May be you think you can tell him just what he ought to do. But what's the use? He's going to live his life as he sees fit no matter what you tell him. So you just live your life and let your neighbor live his. "Sometimes things seem pretty hard, especially to young people. I was 40 years old before I began to realize what was the matter. And then I decided to find out what made life seem so hard. And I've been learning ever since and I haven't been taking life so seriously. "I never let myself get excited. I never let myself grieve. I never worried about things I couldn't help. I often think of an old hen I saw once that took a batch of ducklings down to the water. In they went and that old hen just went crazy. Of course, later on she got used to it and she'd rest while they swam but she used up a lot of energy before she got sense enough to rest. Has No Fear of Death. "That's the way a lot of people are. They just use themselves up a-standing on the bank and cluckin' and flappin' their wings when it don't do any good. Even if those ducklings had been little chickens that couldn't swim, it wouldn't have done any good for that old hen to run around on the bank and make a lot of noise, but that's what lots of people do. "I've never had any fear of death for myself or for others. I have seen my father and mother, five of my brothers and sisters, my wife and two of my own children die. But I know they are better off and it wouldn't help to grieve for them. "My youngest boy was my chum. I took a lot of pleasure in him. He went to France during the war and came home blind. A year ago he died. But I don't grieve for him. I know he is happier where he is." Still Working Happily. And if his own physical and mental condition may be taken as evidence of the efficiency of his philosophy, Fielding Combs has solved the problem of how to live long and happily. Many a man of 60 years of age would be grateful of his physique. His hearing and sight are perfect. He still has most of the teeth he cut seventy or seventy-five years ago and his mind is as active and as reliable as that of a man of 30 years old. For twenty-eight years he cared for bachelor apartments in one build- (Continued on page 4) --- THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN-APPEAL Club Rooms Have Vote Registrar Through the efforts of the advisory board of the Porters and Walters club, 18 Third street south, there has been secured and installed a permanent registration booth for the convenience of voters of the race. The registration booth has been opened in the club rooms under the supervision of J. Ed Stewart, who has been sworn in as registrar. The Porters and Walters club also made arrangements to take care of the registration of women voters. This will be in charge of Mrs. Chas. Force. Our voters are continually complaining of conditions. Yet they make no real effort to use their ballot. Register today! Don't disfranchise yourself by failing to register.

FATHER OF LOCAL WOMAN DIES AT WATSEKA, ILL Mr. Frank Morris, father of Mrs. Frances Clendonon of this city, died at his home in Watseka, Ill., March 17. Mr. Morris was very well known in that city. He formerly lived in Evanston, Ill. His life was a life of uprightness and industry. He was friendly toward everybody and his pleasant manner and genuine courtesy won for him the respect of those who know him. Many relatives and friends mourn his loss. Mr. Morris is survived by a loving wife, daughter, Mrs. Frances Clendonon, who formerly lived here, and a son of St. Paul. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wilkerson, who were recently married, are at home to their friends at 130 Arch street. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1924 GENTLEMEN HAVE FRIENDLY SPAT; 'OWL HEAD' USED Rondo Street Rivals Argonne Forest for Short Time Sunday Evening. Deep Rondo street last Sunday night nearly assumed the aspect of the battlefields of France when two irate colored citizens feeling mistreated went home and returned, one with an automatic and the other with a health distroyer of the "Owl Head" species. After taking on one or two more drinks of liquid refreshments, the gentlemen ran onto the cause of their discontent in a residence on Rondo near Arundel street. The object of their intentions as soon as he saw the automatic stood not on the order of his going, but went and went rapidly. Several people, being in the direct line of flight were trampled on, it being a case of "look out for yourself stranger." Fortunately the gun was not discharged and the owner allowed himself to be passified by the one or two that couldn't get out of the place. Party Gets Rough. Shortly after theracus,the gentleman with the "Midnight Special" went into action, having a real or fancied grievance against the owner of the Rondo street place, drew his shooting iron, backed into a corner and threatened to rid the earth of a few inhabitants, thereof causing a near panic. A young man employed in one of the downtown clubs managed to get the disciple of W. S. Hart by his gun arm and the back of his coat and lead him peaceably down the stairs. The police then arrived and everything was again quiet on "deep" Rondo. Woman on Ticket For Legislature For the first time in the history of Minnesota a woman of our group has filed for the state legislature. Mrs. Mayne Donovan, recognized leader among women of the race, 711 Bryant avenue north, at the behest of many friends and organizations, filed for representative from the thirty-fifth district, composed of major part of the Third and Tenth wards of Minneapolis. Mrs. Donovan, a brilliant women, nationally known, is one of Minnesota's most representative women. Born in Decatur, Michigan, educated in the public schools of that city, her father being Rev. W. D. Brown, who was one of the most prominent colored men in Michigan, Mrs. Donovan came to Minneapolis twenty years ago, bought property here and started a most useful career. The handsome embroidered table-cloth which was on exhibition at the Business League Exposition at the Auditorium in December in the Ernest Workers' booth, was awarded to Mr. Willis, 935 St. Anthony avenue. The total number of beans in the jar was 1,042. Mr. Willis made the nearest guess, 1,040 beans. COLORED VOTERS LEAGUE CALLS MASS MEETING MON The Colored Voters' League has sent out notices to the Central Committee for a meeting of all committeemen Monday night, March 31. At this meeting the date for the general mass meeting will be set, at which there will be many important matters discussed with reference to the industrial situation in the community and other important matters discussed. Party Given For Chicago Visitor The season's most brilliant party was given at the Hotel Howell last Saturday evening when Mrs. Susie Wilson entertained fifty guests in honor of her sister, Mrs. Leavada Oliver, of Chicago. In the receiving line were Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Priscilla Gordan, Mrs. Mayne Lewis and Mr. Ralph Turner. The guests were seated around a "T" shaped banquet table which was profusely decorated in color with a bountiful display of tulips and Jonquils. Favors were had by pulling a ribbon, for each guest. During the party entertainment was furnished by Mrs. Ozie Shoffner and by the "Three Brownies." The punch bowl rested in a high cake of ice which gave appearance of an arctic carnival. Dancing until late ended what is conceded the prettiest party of the season in the Twin Cities. Mrs. Wilson was the recipient of many compliments on her originality of features, which were in many respects an innovation seldom seen other than at the famous Ritz-Carlton. PROFESSOR FROM "U" ADDRESSES N.A.A.C.P.MEET President Makes Brief Talk Concerning Coming of Robert W. Bagnall. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held their forum at Little Pilgrim church, Grotto and West Central avenue, Sunday afternoon, March 23, to a pleasing audience. Professor Clark of the University of Minnesota, professor of sociology, was the principal speaker, and delivered a very pleasing and instructive address on sociology dealing with the race issues. Mr. Earl Clendon rendered an excellent cornet solo, accompanied by Professor Weir of this city. Dr. Turner spoke briefly concerning the coming of Mr. Bagnall, the field representative of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Bagnall will deliver an address Thursday night, April 3, at a banquet at the Hotel Howell. Mr. Smith requested that those who have tickets for this banquet to pay for them at once as all tickets have been disposed of and those who cannot attend may by sending in their tickets give others an opportunity to purchase them. All tickets must be paid for by Sunday, March 30. Right Again on Sport Opinion In our columns of last week we commented on the "kayo" ability of Battling Monroe of Omaha and we mentioned the fact that this chap would, no doubt, prove a drawing card in the Twin Cities. The matchmakers must have read the Bulletin Appeal. Battling Monroe was matched with Carl Augustine, white, of St. Paul, on the Minneapolis boxing club's March 28 card. Jack Shelton of St. Paul is also on this same card. We take off our hat to George Barton, sports editor of Minneapolis Tribune, who does not usually lot foolish or ignorant prejudice effect his sport articles. He thinks Wills is the best and only logical opponent for Dempsey and does not hesitate to intimate that Wills is being assiduously dodged by Kearns and his fighter. Mrs. Dorothy Payne, 666, West Central avenue, is visiting her grandmother in Onkaloose, Iowa. I Mrs. Fenton W. Harsh, Jr. Mrs. Fenton W. Harsh, Jr., nee Edythella B. Adams, of Chicago, Ill., whose marriage to Fenton Harsh, Jr., prominent realtor, was a social event of October, returned to the city Sunday for a visit with her mother, Mrs. Ella Adams, 527 St. Anthony avenue, and sister, Mrs. Jasper Gibbs, Jr., of Minneapolis. Mrs. Harsh was one of the popular young ladies of this city and has assumed the same role as a young matron in social circles of Chicago. The occasion of her visit has been greatly weicomed by her numerous friends who are making her visit one round of gayet, and many affairs Musical,LiteraryTreat at Peoples Church Monday The Grand Musical Festival which will be given Monday evening at the Peoples church, corner of Chestnut and pleasant avenue, no doubt will bring together the most formidable array of talent appearing on an evening's program.

Pullman Men Hold Conference (By the Associated Negro Press) This is Pullman Porter week in the Windy City. Chicago, admittedly the center of all things which affect the wearers of the well known "Uncle George's Blue," is acting as host to the group of representatives elected by a country-wide vote of the 9,984 porters and maids to confer with representatives of the management of the Pullman Company and negotiate an agreement on rules governing working conditions. The porters and maids were recently granted an increase of pay amounting to $8\%$ but the men have contended for certain changes in working conditions involving the number of hours to constitute a day, overtime and "signing out" rules. The company therefore decided to follow the same procedure used with their conductors and by various other large industrial organizations, that of arranging for employee representation to present their grievances, discuss them with company officials, the two bodies to reach a decision as to the policy to be followed. The representatives were elected from each general district to this, the first of the gatherings. Chicagoans Greet Delegates. The delegates to the conference, which will last a week, were introduced to the citizens of Chicago Thursday night at a public meeting which overflowed the boundaries of the Wabash Avenue "Y" auditorium by the colored mechanics and shop workers of the Calumet shops. It was a brilliant occasion and gave to citizens generally an entirely new idea of the openings being made by colored men in the company's ranks other than as parties as well as a thorough appreciation of the caliber and ability of the men chosen to work for the best interests of their fellow employees. Some twenty officials of the company were present, some appearing on the program, which was punctuated by band, orchestra, quartet and vocal selections rendered by the Calumet Shop Workers' organizations, the maids and porters. Perry W. Parker, president of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association, probably the best known Pullman man in the country and certainly the leader in all of the movements for the betterment of the group, was master of ceremonies. Race Mechanics. The company employs colored mechanics. Visitors were amazed when they learned that the Pullman company has been quietly adding to the colored mechanics and employs in their car manufacturing works, yards and repair shops until colored mechanics are engaged in every single type of work being done in Pullman plants. Machinists, carpenters, electricians, upholsterers, painters, steel workers and many others have learned their trades completely in the schools of the Pullman shops, starting as apprentices and now commanding high skilled workers' wages. These men are employed in all the various shops at Buffalo, Wilmington, St. Louis, Fort Worth and Chicago with St. Louis where 60% of the shop employees are colored. The officials say they are making good. Many other big industrial concerns are watching the experiment closely and Perry Parker predicts many big plants will be opened to colored mechanics.

Unfortunately, the best minds are not at all times secured to edit a newspaper; too frequently the most unscrupulous, as well as ignorant species of humanity are vested with the responsibility of wielding public influence. A recent advent in the field of journalism is The Hill Herald, supposedly indorsed by The Tunnel West Club. Recently an attack was made on a woman who alleged "a Negro" was the assailant. The editor of The Hill Herald sought to convey his idea of the incident through a lengthy front page story where the assailant was referred to in three places as "a burly black brute," "the brute" and the "black fiend." It is yet to be proven that it was a Negro who made the attack, but the editor sought to paint a picture of the Negro as the most unworthy of God's creation, not even being unbiased enough to mention nationality in a correct manner. Not being satisfied with showing the culture of a mongrel dog in the story written, the editor gave a true story of himself in an editorial on the same event. "Bad niggers had better keep away from this region hereafter, for there will be some fireworks and questions will be asked afterwards." "The Hill Herald does not believe in mob law, but if the regular means of law enforcement and protection fails, then it is time to revert to the means and manner of our frontier days." To the editor it is time that America resort to self-appropriated justice to suspected criminals. The kind that supplants law and order and replaces anarchy and despotism. No doubt, if we lived in an absolute monarchy and we were forced to obey the edicts of a king of the editor's type, human life would be worth about one German mark. The editor is one of the type who incite mobs to do that which he fears to undertake. Strange coincidents happen at times. This week a man of The Hill Herald editors was arranged in police court for stopping two women on the street and committing a statutory offense before his forced audience. Strange but true this occurred in the same neighborhood that the editor seeks to preserve from neforous characters. If there is a contemptible specimen of man it is the type that seeks to engineer base prejudice through the poison pen method. There is no place in American civilization above the Mason and Dixon line, especially for the man who advocates "fire works first and ask questions later." Neither have we retrograded to the frontier days. Speaking of Bolshevism in Russia, the anarchist of Italy and the "Red" of America, none can be worse than the prejudiced, inconsistent, biased editors, who dissiminate propaganda through their paper against an individual people. That sort of thing may be traditional in some sections of the United States, but Minnesota's reputation for fairness, regardless of color or creed, cannot and must not be besmirched by the type of "kill and then investigate" editor who wields the pen for The Hill Herald.

Many women consider marriage merely an adventure and if they don't like it, there's the back door—divorce—and that is exemplified in that case, in which the plaintiff has made charges which are not true." These words were uttered in court room by a well known attorney Wednesday. No truer statement could have been uttered. The fault cannot be charged against the wife solely, but the husband contributes much toward domestic difficulties. Marriage does not hold the sacrifices that once prevailed. Both the modern wife and husband seem to consider the vows as mere means of future popularity. There are no intentions of keeping them even at the time they are spoken. Who knows the causes of the present day conditions and who can discover a solution to make the wheels of the divorce court move more slowly? Does the fault lie within the home or does outside influence cause the inevitable break? The divorcee ring is more popular than the band ring. There is a distinction that goes with the "ex" which appears to salve the conscience of those who find single blessedness is bitter only after the marriage vows have been spoken. Does the husband expect too much from the wife or visa versa? Or do we live in an age where girls wed to do as they please and boys marry for the sake of doing so? This problem is being widely discussed as never before. The solving of the present day tendencies to seek companionship with the third party by the married group. The "outside friend" is usually more in demand than the husband. On the other hand, the gay butterfly frequently supplants the wife. Whether there is wrong or right in divorce, there is a present day popularity in divorce that this country has never equaled. Divorce, the back door out of marriage, is the toll exacted from Dan Cupid. MME. WALKER CO. ADDS PROMINENT PEOPLE TO FORCE General Manager of Company the Policy Is to Employ Persons of Character.
