WHITES CAN STOP THE NEGRO MIGRATION State-Wide Conference of Race Leaders Discuss Situation and Place Grievance Before Assembly. Atlanta, Ga., July 20.—Colored people as a race do not desire to leave Georgia and the south and the remedy for existing conditions is in the hands of the white man, according to a communication addressed to the General Assembly and the people of Georgia, adopted at a state-wide conference of leaders of the race here last Thursday. The conference was presided over by Bishop J. S. Flipper of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Atlanta.

GARY STEEL MILLS EMPLOYING MANY COLORED LABORERS Big Mills Adopting Suggestion Made Recently By Emmett Scott to Supply Labor Shortage in Plants. WILL SHORTEN LABOR HOURS Shorter Day Will Require 60,000 Additional Laborers Is the Opinion of Judge Gary. Washington, D. C., July 20.—Within three months from the date of the signally important telegram to Judge Elbert H. Gary sent by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, in reply to Mr. Gary's suggestion upon the occasion of his return from Europe that alien labor be utilized to supply plant shortages in the industrial plants of the doctor Scott has the satisfaction of seeing his suggestion that Negro labor be used to supply such shortages adopted by the great U. S. Steel Corporation. In a recent interview Judge Gary advises that the United Steel Corporation is planning to abolish the twelve-hour day in the steel industry. He states that the main factor which will make this possible will be the influx into northern industrial centers of Negroes from the south. Judge Gary also hopes that there may be some labor supply from Mexico and from some of the European countries. When asked what had been the extent of the influx of labor from the south and the outside countries, Judge Gary said he had no figures but believed that one of the most important factors in the increase of labor in the steel industry was the migration of Negroes from the south. Judge Gary estimates that the change from a twelve-hour day would require 60,000 additional laborers and would increase the cost of the finished product by 15 per cent. The decision to do away with the long day, Mr. Gary said, was made in recognition of the growing public sentiment in favor of such a step.

DECIDED DECREASE IN MOB OUTRAGES IN THE SOUTHLAND Aroused Public Sentiment and Steady Migratory Movement Believed to be Largely Responsible for Drop. 15 LYNCHED IN A HALF YEAR Florida Has Displaced Georgia as Ranking State in Great American Disgrace and Menace. TUSKEGEE, Ala., July 20—The steady migratory movement and the rising tide of sentiment against lynching is manifested in the latest report concerning lynching throughout the country, issued here by Monroe N. Work, director of the Department of Records and Research Work. According to Dr. Work, a survey of "mob killings" during the first six months of 1023 shows that there have been 15 lynchings, just half the number of outrages committed by mobs during the first six months of 1022, and 21 less than the number of 36 for the first six months of 1921. Of those lynched, two were whites and thirteen Negroes. One of those put to death was charged with the crime of rape. The other offenses charged were: Murder. 2; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of the law, 2; no charge reported, 2; assisting man charged with escape, 1; trying to pass for white 1; resisting posse searching for man Whole Number 419 charged with rape, 1; participating in deprived connections connected with railroad strike, 1; cattle stealing, 1; trying to act like a white man and not knowing his place, 1. The states in which lynching occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Arkansas, 1; Florida, 7; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 1, and Texas, 1.

New York, July 20.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, has issued a statement calling the contest over the Tuskegee Hospital for Colored War Veterans a test of the Harding administration's attitude toward Negroes. The statement is as follows: "Despite the government's promise made by President Harding to staff the Tuskegee Hospital for Colored War Veterans with colored doctors and nurses, the Ku Klux Klan, with the apparent connivance of Colonel Stanley, have already driven away Dr. Kenney, a colored physician of high standing, who has had to flee with his family from Tuskegee. This whole situation is one which again tests the administration's attitude towards colored people, as well as the government's integrity in the face of the Ku Klux Klan mob. The government could settle this whole matter in an hour by taking a firm stand. The Ku Kluxers around Tuskegee are bluffing, and will carry that bluff as far as they can. IF PRESIDENT HARDING HAS A BACKBONE THE SIZE OF A TOOTHPICK, HE WILL CALL THAT BLUFF AND THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE PRESENT DISGRACEFUL SITUATION. "The contentions of the Alabama white people are untrue and absurd. They pretend to fear the menace of a colored personnel in charge of the hospital. The Tuskegee Institute, entirely manned and attended by Negroes with several hundred teachers and fifteen hundred students, has never given them, although in their midst, grounds for the slightest apprehension. "Colored people throughout the United States are awaiting to see how the United States government will meet this challenge of the Ku Klux mebblists." GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. TERRORIZATION TRIES TO TRIUMPH TUSKEGEE TOWN Several High Officials of School Alleged to Have Fled Because of Threats Against Their Lives. ADVISE MOTON TO STAY AWAY Principal's Family Have Left School—Doctor Kenney and Family Gone—Calhoun, Accountant, Also Leaves. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Montgomery, Ala., July 20.—A reign of terror exists at Tuskegee Institute! There never was anything like it in the history of the institution. So critical is the state of affairs that a number of the highest officials of the institution have been forced to flee for their lives. Among those who have been forced to leave the institute grounds under threat are: Dr. Kenney, one of the best known surgeons in the country, and superintendent of the Andrew's Memorial Hospital on the institute grounds. John H. Calhoun, a graduate of Hampton Institute, who had been an employee in the chief accountant's office of the institute, and who took the civil service examination recently for a position in the disbursing office of the government hospital, and was appointed, reported for duty and was threatened with his life. Friends were compelled to spirit him away under cover of night. The Ku Klux made their demonstration particularly against his appointment. He replaced a white woman. Dr. R. R. Moton, who has been away from the institution since the trustees' meeting in New York, has not returned to Tuskegee at this writing, and has been urged by his closest friends, because of ugly rumors afloat, to remain away. This program does not suit him, however, and despite the warnings, he is determined to return to the school. Mrs. Moton and the children left under advice a few days ago. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People, with offices in New York, has been projected into the picture by sending a telegram to President Harding, calling for federal troops, since the parading of the Ku Klux. This creates a new angle that is very delicate, viewed from this point. Many thoughtful people believe it is difficult to see the situation clearly from New York, Chicago and other far away points. The people at the institute, however, are determined to protect themselves and their families. General Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, made a special visit to the hospital recently. He was met by whites from the town of Tuskegee and from Alabama, who voiced their objections. He appointed a committee to work out the situation. BREAKS WORLD'S RIFLE RECORD Battalion of Twenty-fifth Infantry Sets New Mark on Douglas, Ariz., Target Range. Douglas, Ariz., July 20.—A world's record in rifle fire was made by the first battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, stationed at Camp Harry J. Jones in the course of target work completed last Thursday, according to Major Harry J. Castles, commander of the post, who personally supervised the work on the range. Every man in the three rifle companies of the battalion, numbering about 320, qualified as marksman or better, which, so far as records available at the post here show, has never been equaled before in the history of the United States army. Corporal Jesse J. Williams, of B Company, made the highest record of the battalion, which is also the highest in the regiment, making a score of 321 out of a possible 350. B Company made the highest average, running up a mark of over 291, its ranks numbering forty-nine expert riflemen, the highest grade attainable, and twenty-nine sharp shooters The average for the entire battalion, according to Major Castles, will run between 285 and 290, which is well above the sharpshooter mark of 275.

A SIGNIFICANT REQUEST It is always a pleasure for us to call attention to evidences of affection, esteem and good will between the races of mankind, in general, and especially between members of our own group and those of the dominant group in this country between whom there seems to be the very opposite tendency. Optimistic the we are we cannot close our eyes to the fact that racial misunderstandings and ill-will seem to be growing more acute, increasing rather than decreasing. We have faith to believe that all will work out in the end because God is in Heaven, and the all is not well with the world, He is slowly working His purposes out, and ultimately His will be done upon earth. Thru what travail and pain our own nation and the world must pass before amity and brotherhood will prevail we do not know. History has revealed strange surprises in the evolution of civilization and doubtless has many more in store. The estrangement between our own people and the white people of America seems to be growing. In the face of this it is enheartening to point to evidence of affection, esteem and understanding which show that there is all a tie that binds. Recently there was a singular manifestation of this spirit which shows what contact and association will do for awakening mutual understanding, appreciation and esteem. It was at the commencement held at St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School for Negro youth, at Lawrenceville, Va., that splendid institution which was organized and built up by the Rev James S. Russell, a scholarly and Christian gentleman of the first rank, who has given his life as a Christian priest and educator to the uplifting of our race in his native state, and in which he was born a slave shortly before Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. "Virginia Day" was a high day a s a part of the commencement program. Governor Trinkle graced the occasion with his presence and made a felicitous statesmanlike address before an audience of more than 2000 people of both races.

FIRST IN SERVICE and well-deserved tribute to Archdeacon Russell, whom he characterized as a Christian gentleman, who for years had given out beneficient and far-reaching influences and inspirational leadership. The Governor also paid a graceful and grateful tribute to his own nurse, a Negro woman, who had inculcated in him sterling principles which had profoundly influenced his whole life. Archdeacon Russell, modestly passing over the tribute paid him by the Governor of Virginia commenting upon the Governor's tribute to his nurse, said he too wished to pay tribute to one to whom he was greatly indebted for that which he was greatly had become, his old teacher, spiritual father and life-long friend, a soldier of the Confederacy, the Reverend (Major) Giles B. Cook, whom he desired for a word. Tottering with age, Giles B. Cook, to whom scores of Virginia Churchmen of color are deeply indebted for education and spiritual training, rose to his feet. He modestly told of his deep interest in the colored people, of his warm affection and high regard for his former pupil Archdeacon Russell, and of his hitherto expressed wish, now publicly repeated that his former pupil should officiate at his funeral. Profound silence momentarily ensured this significant statement followed by prolonged cheers. The significance of this may be gauged by the fact that th espeaker is the last survivor of the fifteen of twelve defender of ficers who laid down their arms with General Robert E. Lee, at Appomattox, April 9, 1865. Major Cook subsequently studied for the ministry, being ordained deacon in 1871 and priest in 1874, retiring from the active ministry six years ago. An ex-confederate soldier enters the ministry, baptizes and teaches a little ex-slave Negro boy who in turn also enters the priesthood and becomes the respected head of a great school and a genuine helper of mankind, honored and respected by all who know him. This ex-confederate soldier publicly requests that the ex-slave boy shall lay his mortal remains to rest with the liturgy of the Church which they both love so well and which has made them, both alike, what they are. ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb He is wilfully blind who refuses to see in this rare and isolated request the augury for a better day that must sooner or later dawn for America in which character and worth alone will count, unbiased and uninfluenced by race or creed.

His conviction was legal and technical, and does not reach the roots of his propaganda. I have never attempted an analysis of the teachings of the African reformer. In my view it is needless to do so until we can disentangle the grotesque features from its deeper meaning, and the ephemeral from its permanent meaning. I promise my readers at some early date to undertake an analytical treatment of the gospel as it is in Garvey. In the meantime, I take no delight in the death of the wicked.—Kelly Miller in Pittsburg Courier. (By the Hamitic League) THE SPHINX. (The Hamitic League) Have you ever seen the Sphinx of Egypt, that old stone baby of the thick lips and flat nose that has stood in Egypt's sands, for steen thousand years? It not, save the blue ones and the thin ones and give it the once over one of these days. Men still wonder why the hello Bill the Sphinx was ever carved, but all they know is that it is there and that it is a stone cut-up of a cullor gentleman who was mighty proud and didn't care who knows it. The Egyptian tradition says it was carved on the order of one Mr. Horus, a chocolate colored bird who chased a read headed, blue eyed waffle out of Egypt and dared him to come back. The waffle's name was Set and he enclosed into the royal cushions by turning the dad of Horus over to the undertakers and making love to Isis, the wife of Mr. Osiris. He didn't have any luck with Isis because he couldn't catch her. When Horus grew up he collected an army of culldul scrappers and sailed into Reddy so fast that friend latter lost his sandals in heel dust. Just whither he went none ever knew, but according to the dope he went due east without a change of trains. As you know the Egyptians were strong believers in hoodoo and after Reddy tore out, Horus decided to carve his own face in stone and place it in the desert so that if Reddy ever started to stage a come-back, he would see the face and accumulate a mess of cold feet. So the Sphinx was carved and there it stands today as it has stood for those steen thousand years. But Reddy never came back. The scare which Horus gave him was so strong that there was never the necessity for a second dose. Many a bird who has read in his history book that the old Egyptians were pale faces, takes a tumble when he gazes into the old stone face of Horus. He knows pronto that some one has tried to slip something over on him and gets wise. Back yonder the cullud race was some historic fruit.

Gold Region of the Transvaal THE MONITOR Gold Ro the Tran The General Post Office (Prepared by the National Geographic So- clay, Washington, D.C.) With the continued discussion of the effect on the United States of the huge gold supply that world economic conditions have driven to our shores, the region that produces more of the precious metal than any other area takes on an added interest. This is the famous "Rand" (officially Witwatersrand) of the Transvaal, South Africa, that in the relatively brief period since its discovery has swelled the annual stream of new gold to nearly twice its volume. In keeping with traditions, this great reservoir of the metal, "bright and yellow, hard and cold," has given a stormy as well as a gilted history to the corner of the Transvaal in which it was uncovered. It built up in a few years a city of 284,000 drawn from all parts of the world; it caused raids, labor troubles, and a bloody major war; and it vitally changed the map and political complexity of Africa. The Boors trekked over the Rand region and raised their live stock on its semi-burren slopes for years without realizing that below their feet lay the great t volume of rich gold ore known to exist. The discovery of the ore was made in 1855, but the region did not realize its prosperity immediately. The gold is finely divided in a conglomerate rock and its profitable recovery calls for the highest degree in scientific treatment. The ore must be crushed by heavy stamps and then created by the cyanide process. The ore beds extend for more than 60 miles along the low hills known as "the Rand" and mines were opened at various points. By 1891 much of the surface vein of ore bid been exhausted and it was feared that the field would be short lived. Then it was discovered that the main gold reef below is for all practical purposes without bottom and that the extent of rich ore from which gold may be taken is only limited by the practicability of man's working at great depths. The average gold content of the ore is worth nearly $10 a ton, and engineers have estimated that there remain in the Rand ores worth many billions of dollars. Boom Brought the Boer War. By 1895 the Rand was in the midst of a tremendous boom. Investors, prospectors laborers and soldiers of fortune flocked in. The necessary heavy machinery was hauled for hundreds of miles and brought in over mountain passes by wagons and ox-teams. The output of yellow metal mounted rapidly, and with it grew the troubles that brought on the Boer war. The city of Johannesburg was born of the gold discovery and rose to the stature of a city in the space of a few years practically "on the digin's." It is almost on the crest of the Rand. By 1906 the Rand's annual production passed that of all North America. Before the World war the annual recovery reached $175,000,000, and by 1920 the output had again climbed to $138,000,000, an amount which represented roughly half the entire world production in that year. In 1921 a new peak was reached when gold valued at about $200,000,000 was taken from the Rand. Johnnesburg is situated about midway along the Rand. There are a number of true suburbs strung out on the slopes of the ridge devoted largely to the residences of the well-to-do; and in addition, farther away along the Rand, are smaller wildlife towns. Nine miles to the east lies Germain and six miles farther, Boksburg. Twenty-one miles to the west is Krugersdorp. For about 25 miles in each direction from the city the sea is never out of sight of tall chimneys, ugly crushing houses, and labor compounds which tell the eve that this is a scene of unceasing activity. And the same message is conveyed to ear and nostrils. The great crushing machinery keeps up a deafening din, and at times when the wind assists the air is filled with the fine white dust which is a troublesome and unescapable by-product of the crushing operations. The Rand gold field is fortunate in having a supply of coal 25 miles to the east which has kept down operating costs and so has Many are showing their appreciation for the Monitor by sending in their subscriptions.

Much of the tremendous wealth that has come out of the reef has flowed abroad, a fact, incidentally, which is responsible for much of the bitterness that has existed among the white miners and the Boer farmers. But some of the millionaires and sub-millionaires have spent lavisily in the country, and these expenditures, as well as the millions spent in operation, have enriched Johannesburg. Except two cities near the Mediterranean, which may be considered as belonging to a separate civilization Johannesburg is the metropolis of Africa. It has a population of more than 284,000, of which more than 150,000 are white. It is a city of numerous substantial buildings, some of them of many stories, resembling more nearly American structures than those of Europe. Wide asphalt streets, theaters, luxurious clubs, and the finest hotel south of the equator are other features that go to make "Joburg" an up-to-date comfortable city. In the suburbs are many fine residences; and the country club will compare favorably with similar institutions on any of the six continents. The altitude of more than a mile above sea level makes the city healthful and comfortable despite its nearness to the tropics. But despite its opulence Johannesburg still has some of the earmarks of a mining camp. In the sumptuous clubs booted prospectors are to be seen side by side with carefully manicured financiers. The 'iron-coofed shack of the early days has not entirely disappeared; gambling hells and grog shops can be found with ease by miners in the city to spend their earnings in the traditional way of the mining camp. Nor is the city, for all its public improvements and architecture, entirely a Twentieth century white man's community. More than 100,000 African natives live within its limits. Motorcars predominate in the traffic, but the heavy Boer wagon has not been thrust entirely out of the picture. And one can ride over the asphalt—or could a few years ago—in a "rikisha" drawn by a feather-bedecked Zulu. Scene of Much Turbulence. Scene of Much Turbulence. Turbulence has been the lot of Johannesburg since its birth in 1885, and many of its problems have pivoted around the mine owners and laborers. The Boer war really grew out of the discovery of gold on the Rand and the resulting infux of thousands of Englishmen and other "uittanders." The ill-starred raid of Jameson was directed against Johannesburg, and at the same time the city was seized from within by the British mine operatives. Just before the outbreak of the World War there was an uprising of the white miners around Johannesburg, but the difficulties were patched up because of the great conflict. The obtaining of labor for the Rand mines has always been a problem of considerable proportions. With the mines working at capacity something over 250,000 workers are needed. The local negroes preferred work on the farms and among the live stock of the Boers. White men in sufficient numbers could not be obtained, nor could the owners afford to pay exclusively white men's wages. At one time 50,000 Chinese coolies were imported, but their presence caused much trouble, and in 1910 the last of them were repatriated. In recent years tens of thousands of negroes from Portuguese East Africa have been brought in to supplement the local negroes that could be induced to work, and the 25,000 more or less skilled white workers. Cúrious Taxes Early English statesmen imposed a tax on beards. When it was levied it was a real hardship, and, in fact, meant to be such. It was imposed by the Norman; and was directed against the Saxons, most of whom were, to use a topical expression, "beavers." In the reign of William III births, marriages and burials were taxed. At that time, too, there was a tax on bachelors, and on widowers to. Horsees were once taxed, and by way of protest, one farmer made a market on his cow.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN MAKES COMMENT ON MONITOR EDITORIALS. COAL HILL COAL COMPANY Omaha, Neb., July 16, 1923. Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor Monitor: Permit me to congratulate you on three fine constructive editorials in The Monitor issue of July 13th. I was particularly gled to see the article on patronizing the worthy colored business man, and discouraging by lack of patronage the colored merchant who is unwilling to give his customers' competitive prices and keep his store in equal or better conditions than the white merchant who is a bidder for the valuable colored trade. The colored citizen should understand that every dollar he gives to the colored business man not only should buy equal goods at equal prices, but also this patronage enables the colored man to increase his business and in this way open the road of opportunity for other industrious colored men and women. The note of appreciation for clean lawns was a good piece of work. A neat house or a well-kept lawn is an outward and visible sign of self respect and prosperity. I was very glad to see your article for better lighting on Lake street. The lighting is a very important community question. Twenty-fourth street needs more and better lighting and a big play ground for that congested quarter. The colored citizens must lead that movement because they are the majority of the population in that center and should point the way. I am confident that if the representative colored men and women take a start for a progressive improvement club like the Leavenworth Improvement Club, the representative white citizens who live in the vicinity of North 24th street will be sold to the idea of civic improvement and together you can make your center one of the beauty spots of the city.

MISS ESTHER JOHNSON SPEAKS BEFORE N. A. A. C. P. Last Sunday afternoon Miss Esther Johnson, chief probation officer of the Juvenile court, delivered an inter- esting and instructive address before the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which was thoroughly enjoyed by those: present. Miss Johnson told of the excellent work the court is doing for dependent, ‘neglected and delin- quent children and bespoke the coop- eration of our citizens in the work She told of the assistance in keeping families together that the mother’s pension provides. The only family in Douglas county receiving the max- imum pension, $50.00 a month is a colored family, Statistics quoted showed that the!ratio of delinquent colored ehildren to white children was not disproportionate but rather favor- able to our group and yet, despite this favorable comparative showing, the number is entihely too large. Home neglect leads to delinquency, yet another great evel contributing to juve nile delinquency is the divorce evil which sunders families. A rising vote of thanks was ten- dered Miss Johnson for her instructive and illuminating address. Henry W. Black, president, was chosen as the delegate to the nationa convention to be held next month ir Kansas City, Mo., and the Rev, Russe ‘Taylor, was elected alternate. ‘The next regular meeting will b held on the third Sunday in August ‘The drive to secure additional mem bers towards Omaha's quota is being | vigorously pushed. 1a hb MONIT CR LINCOLN NEWS AND COMMENT. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Hlizibeth John- son, who died at their hore an North ‘Thirteenth street Sunday, was held in Mt.
