WOMEN DENOUNCE SENATORS VOL.I.NO.47 COLORED WORKERS IN SOUTHLAND MOVING NORTH Labor Agents from Northern Corporations again Active Throughout South. SOUTHERN PLANTERS FEAR LOSS OF LABOR Migration Helpful from Economic Standpoint; Better Schools and Surroundings. Washington, D. C., Dec. 8—Reports from various Southern States show that another exodus of colored people to western and northern states is getting under way. The need for unskilled labor in industrial centers rendered acute by the limitation of emigration and the consequent recruiting of colored workers to fill the job into which unending streams of foreigners formerly followed is given as the chief cause. Labor agents, representing large Northern corporations are again reported active throughout the south and while they are not popular with the planters, who see the loss of valuable labor as a result of their efforts, the agents are said to take every precaution, taking out licenses, registering and complying with all the laws of the municipalities where they operate thus preventing attack. From Atlanta comes the information that a train load of colored workmen left Macon, Ga., last week bound for Steubenville, Ohio, where they were to be employed in a steel mill. $5,000 in railroad fares was required for the movement. Because of the resulting opportunity for securing work at more attractive wages and gaining freedom from his Southern environment, the ban on immigration has been a boon to the Negro. Though great sacrifices of property are frequently made and while the change from rural living into the congested centers to which the immigrants go has problems which must be worked out, it is the opinion of social workers that the migration is proving decidedly helpful from the standpoint of advancing the economic interests of the group. Better schooling for the children, the right of franchise and the example of progressive surroundings have made great changes in the lives of many of these families. For this reason efforts which are being made to lift the ban of immigration are being watched with interest. The millions who immigrated to America before the war have been cut down to a mere fraction by the present law which admits only three per cent of the total of the nationals of any foreign country in America before the war. Colored men are doing the hard work which these foreigners did and which many Americans will not do. It is admitted even by those who are interested in breaking down the ban that many immigrants are undesirable, prone to Bolshevism and that they cannot be Americanized easily. If America could select their immigrants and choose those whom they prefer, discriminating against Catholic and Jewish newcomers, it is likely according to a Senator here the bars would be let down. But as the case stands now, China is the only country whose people are excluded and if she were a great power the Chinese exclusion act would never have been passed. In the meantime the center of Negro population is steadily shifting northward and the colored brother is saying: "It's an ill wind which blows nobody good." RETAIL DRUG STORES .

SENATE KILLS $5,000,000 LOAN TO LIBERIA Loan is Beaten in Spite of Desire of Administration to Aid African Republic SEN. HARRISON DECLARES LOAN IS A GRAFT Prominent Race Men Named in $650,000 Conspiracy—Charges Denied by All. Washington, D. C., Dec. 8—The Liberian $5,000,000 Loan Bill was beaten in the Senate last week when thirteen Republicans joined with the Democrats and voted 42 to 33 to shelve the measure. President Harding and Secretary Hughes had urged the passage of the bill and Senators Lodge and Curtis, the floor leaders of the majority, labored to the last minute in an effort to hold their colleagues in line. Opposed By Reed Senator Reed of Missouri fought against the bill. He declared that the proposition to advance this money to Liberia could not be justified on any ground. He said that only one out of every 500 Liberians is civilized and that back in the hills, less than fifty miles from the coast, many of the inhabitants still practice cannibalism. Reed charged that if the loan was made a large part of it would go into the pocket of "lobbyists" who he said, would be paid for their alleged activity in getting the bill passed. A charge that five prominent Negroes had a contract to obtain $650 000.00 if the Liberian Loan Bill should pass was made in the Senate by Pat Harrison, a Democrat from Mississippi. Senator Harrison named the men. Three of them live in Washington—Dr. Emmet J. Scott, Secretary of the Howard University; James A. Cobb, and William L. Houston, Attorneys. The other two named by Senator Harrison are: William H. Lewis, of Boston, a former Assistant Attorney General of the United States and Rev. Lyons of Baltimore, a former minister to Liberia. Deny Charges. The charge was vigorously denied by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, in charge of the bill, who said that the rumor reported by Senator Harrison; "like others, had originated in the Senator's own fertile brain." "There isn't a scintilla of truth in any such statement," said Dr. Scott. "The charges are laughable and absolutely false," declared James A. Cobb. "A fabrication out of the whole cloth," was Houston's reply. Mill Citians Give Banquet for Gilpin Friends of Famous Actor Arrange Elaborate Affair in His Honor.

SENTIMENT EXPRESS STAND OF 1500 WOMEN Telegram Says Movement's Voice Is One of Emphatic Protest Against Their Actions. Macon, Ga., Dec. 9.—As chairman of the student Y. W. C. A., Miss Fannie Belle Outlet of Wesleyan College of this city, yesterday telegraphed Senators Pat Harrison of Mississippi and Harris of Georgia, protesting against the stand they have taken on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill which was recently killed in the Senate by a Democrat filibuster. In her telegram to the Senator, Miss Outler said: "As chairman of 15,000 members of the student Y.W.C.A. in ten southern states, I wish to voice our movement's opinion as one of emphatic protest against your attitude on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill." Lynchings Number 85 in 21 Months More Than 800 are Victims of Mob Violence; Five of Them Being Women. New York, Dec. 8.—More than 800 persons were victims of mob violence in this country from September 1, 1920, to June 1, 1922, the American Civil Liberties Union reported last week. The union's figures included eighty five lynchings, fifty-one tar and feather cases, 127 floggings and the remainder forcible mob deportations. 5 of the victims were women and less than a third of the whole were Negroes. The report, explaining that the figures were incomplete, said that most of the cases occurred in the South and Southwest with the others sprinkled over the Far and Middle West. Howard Drops Hard Game To Lincoln 13-12 Washington, Dec. 5—In one of the most desperately fought battles of the Annual Thanksgiving Classics between the two large Colored Universities, Lincoln, with its riping, snorting plunges and wide awake aggressiveness, won over Howard 13 to 12. The playing of Johnson for Lincoln and Carter Donehy and Nurse for Howard were the bright features of the game. Skinker, a local boy also stood out for the visitors. PORTERS FINED $50.00 FOR FIGHTING ON TRAIN St. Cloud, Dec. 8.—As a result of an argument over a porter's clean jacket which developed into a battle that raged up and down Pullman coaches while passengers and trainmen tried for fifteen minutes to end the fray, George Gaskins, waiter, $36 Decatur St., and Booker Lacey, 643 W. Central Ave., porter, were fined $30, and are under physician's care. The battle occurred on a Northern Pacific coast train Tuesday night while a score of passengers looked on. 15 MORE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS "DO IT NOW" THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. THE FATE OF THE DYER BILL After five days of filibustering the Democrats in the Senate have killed the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Such a fate was predicted long before it came. It was predestined to be killed in the Senate, and it was. Some say that the measure's failure was good for the country and that even if it had passed it was bound to be declared unconstitutional when tested by the U. S. Supreme Court. Senator Lodge knew full well that the bill as it was written was unconstitutional, that it would not stand the acid test of the highest court of the land, but he wept, it has been reported, when the outcome of the Republican pledge to the Negro voters of the country looked dark. Tears of hypocrisy! Anyway, the fear that the bill may have promoted racial and sectional division has been settled to the satisfaction of the Southern Democrats. Intervention of lynching parties and mob violence by the Federal government shall not come to pass. Although our Southern states have conclusively proven that they are unable to handle the situation, public sentiment over the entire country is down on lynching and mob violence and until something is done by the states to prevent lawlessness, public opinion shall always condemn such conditions. Fourteen million Colored Americans and thousands upon thousands of White Americans are determined that lynching must go. Even though the Dyer bill never becomes a law, it has brought to light America's darkest evil to the point where millions have been lined up to carry on the fight against lynching and mob violence and make southern states look out of a remedy. Liberian's appeal to this country for a loan of $5,000,000, like the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, has been killed in the Senate. The hopes of the poor little West African country for financial assistance from this government have gone up in smoke. She must look elsewhere for aid. Liberia needs money. She must have it if she would improve internal conditions, build roads, and develop her natural resources. England has long waited an opportunity to put her financial resources to work in Liberia, and if its government looks elsewhere for a loan, England will no doubt supply the coin. The pity of the situation is that this country founded the little African republic and after long months of negotiations it saw it to refuse to grant the loan, thus paving the way for some other power to step in and put a grip about her resources. Homeward bound in the early evening, with the satisfaction of a day's work well done, of something contributed toward the progress of the world and the betterment of the condition of mankind. What is more conductive to real happiness? Of course there must be reward—equitable and sufficient, with a saving margin. Darwin showed that life was preserved and developed by the survival of the efficient, by natural selection—that individual variation due to the survival of the efficient was transmitted by sexual selection. Nature is accused of caring nothing for the individual, of caring much for the race; yet she moulds impartially all individuals and all races by offering and paying efficiency rewards. Take away the stimulus of efficiency reward—individual life and race life will vanish from the earth. A snub-nose or two at the window, watching for Dad, and a glad acclaim of welcome with the opening of the door. An evening of family joy; good food, good books, good music, and finally the tucking away of the little ones with the good-night prayer. Then an hour or two of companionship with her who made fatherhood possible—surely this were happiness enough. We have been gradually coming to the opinion that Negroes need to start a house cleaning within their own ranks. All of the wrongs from which we suffer cannot be laid at the door of the other race. Some of the obstacles which beset us are of our own building. Our main difficulty is a lack of responsible, unselfish and sincere leadership. We have had leaders and leaders and we have hundreds of them today. Some have achieved leadership, some have had leadership thrust upon them, and some have thrust themselves upon us. Some are white and some are black. Few of these leaders have shown any inclination to suffer for us, to stay among us and be of us, or to jeopardize their social or economic standing for our betterment or liberation. We have had "words, words, words," but little action and sacrifice except from a very few. There have been Negroes—such as Robert Moton—picked by white people and set before the whole twelve millions of us as our leader. There have been black men, such as Marcus Garvey, and white men like Thomas Jesse Jones, who have picked themselves to lead all the Negroes everywhere in the world. There have been countless other Negroes, big, little and middle sized, who have essayed the role of leader. This type is found everywhere. He is of national prominence, a state leader, or the leader of his city. The local leader is usually a lying venal politician, an unscrupulous and ignorant preacher, or a rascally grafting lawyer. Very often these three are found in a ring together, robbing, fooling, submerging and "selling out" the rest of us. Few of our leaders are men who have any degree of passion to serve the mass of Negroes to the point of inconvenience, loss of money or even of time, where there is no remuneration. It is unfortunate that in these days of storm and stress we have no Ghandi and no MacSwiney. The average Negro leader seems to be perfectly satisfied to grow fat and sleek himself even though the mass of his people remain thin and lean. Very often he becomes opulent while they whom he leads remain in ignorance and poverty. Often he places burdens on the plain Negro so grievous to be borne that his plain man cannot rise. Our leaders have not lived close enough to the common people. Usually there develops a great division between the mass of us stumbling darkly down at the bottom and the leaders living in luxury and social and economic security. As a rule this luxury has been provided by black laboring people who often get nothing in return. The cure for this situation is in the hands of that great horde of Colored men and women upon whose backs this wolfish pack of leaders rest and from whose meagre earnings they live and wax powerful and worthless. We say the cure is in the hands of the ordinary Negro. It is our duty now to assert ourselves and demand more of our leaders than we have asked heretofore.

Mills, 30 years old, colored, told today Judge J. W. Finehout in police court that he wished to be sent to Stillwater prison, where he could be cured. He was arraigned in police court on a burglary charge, committed November 28, when he robbed the poolroom of W. J. Utley. Mills said he injected drugs into his arm and that the habit had such a hold on him he was unable to combat it alone. He waived hearing in police court and was held to district court.
