3 NEGRO CANDIDATES NOMINATED ents a Copy. NATIONAL LABOR SITUATION AND NEGRO WORKMEN Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League Issues Instructive Report CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE Survey of Country Shows Improvement in Many Cities and Decreased Opportunities in Others Washington, D. C.—Bulletin No. 4 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban league summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: Industry as a whole was static during June and the situation among Negroes coincided with this general condition. Here and there fluctuations were recorded and a few outstanding events were reported. The incidents cited below are the principle reported deviations during the month of June. Atlanta—This city provides the most glaring injustice reported because of the signing of a bill by Mayor Sims granting a minimum wage of $100 per month for all "white" skilled and semi-skilled city employees. Forty colored male employees of the city have petitioned the Committee on Cooperation of Atlanta to intercede in their behalf for a higher wage. The men, fearing the loss of their jobs or other forms of intimidation, have used fictitious names and addresses. St. Louis—A leather goods factory employed 125 colored girls in a new department. They were provided by the Urban League of that city. Then comes also this amusing statement "with the coming of hot weather whites doing street work are being rapidly replaced by Negroes." St. Paul—The American Radiator Company has promised to employ 40 colored men in a new foundry to be opened in August. Detroit—The steady inflow of Mexican common labor is disturbing the already unsettled conditions of Detroit. Prophesies as to its effect upon Negro labor are frequently made. The Negro population is 81,000. In 1920 it was 41,000. Raleigh—A movement of labor toward new development sections of the state is noted and there is a report of temporary movement to Washington, D. C., of bricklayers on account of large building programs there. Lansing—The new Olds hotel is employing a small number of doormen, bus boys, porters and cleaners. Efforts are being made to extend this employment to bell boys and waiters, but local opposition makes this improbable at preesnt. San Antonio, Texas—The first Negro orchestra to play at a white hostelry in San Antonio, Texas, is filling a summer engagement at St. Anthony hotel. Alphonse Trent's orchestra has the contract. Jefferson City, Mo.—The first street contract to be awarded a Negro has been granted Charles Marberry to grade a city block. He employs all colored help. His contract is $5,000. Minneapolis—Negroes were re-employed by the Minneapolis Street Railway company. At the insistence of the Urban League of that city the company was prevailed upon to disregard complaints of inefficiency and permit another trial. Maurice Rothschild's store hired a maid and a night watchman. They were the first Negroes to be employed there. Milwaukee—Negro musicians were employed in resorts out from this city where previously white orchestras were employed. They are union men. Summary Cities in which business houses employed Negroes in June for the first time: Lansing, San Antonio, Jefferson City, Missouri, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, St. Louis. THE MONITOR AMERICAN CURSE RACE HATE Philadelphia, Pa.—Racial hatred, religious bigotry and materialism are alarming and threaten the sanctity of the nation, is the opinion of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Fort Newton, pastor of the Memorial Church of St. Paul, Overbrook. Dr. Newton presided at the religious services in the auditorium at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition. Three things threaten the very fabric out of which this glorious Union is woven, declared Dr. Newton,—religious bigotry, racial hatred and materialism. "Nothing is more terrifying than the growth of racial rancor among us, especially in our great cities, where men of many races gather, and this nation is a fraternal symposium of many people." Continuing, the Rev. Dr. Newton declared that no one race settled and developed America. "It was a great interracial enterprise. There is room in America for everything except hatred." HAITIAN BUILDING IS DEDICATED AT SESQU Philadelphia, Pa.—The Haitian exhibit at the Sesqui-Centennial was formally opened July 28, when the Honorable Hannibal Price, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, from Haiti, was the guest of honor. Mr. Price was greeted by a fifteen gun salute at the Navy Yard, and again at Camp Anthony Wayne when he visited both places in the company of A. B. Francis, of the Foreign Participation department of the sesqui. At the-Navy Yard, Mr. Price was welcomed by Admiral T. P. Magruder, and at Camp Anthony Wayne by General H. C. Learned, luncheon being served in the Russtan pavilion. JOIN VETS OF FOREIGN WARS Kansas City, Mo.—Twenty-five colored veterans, each with valiant records of service overseas, organized as Post 1417 of the Veterans of the Foreign Wars, head the list of the 41 new V. F. W. posts formed throut out the country since the first of the year, according to the announcement made from the National headquarters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Kansas City, Kansas, by Commander in Chief Fred Stover. GIVES FORTUNE TO JUNK MAN Springfield, Mass.—(By the A. N. P.)—Peter Audaim will not go to his home in the West Indies for some time to come. His wife is the cause. The two of them had worked hard and saved $1,200. When they made up their minds they would go, they shipped some of their furniture and Peter, all happy, drew the money they had and placed it in an old shoe bag at home. Wednesday while Peter was away, Mrs. Audaim heard the cry of a junk dealer and decided to clean out her closets. The shoe bag went with the junk and so did the $1,200. The dealer has not been found. Significant industrial problems: Students from southern schools stranded throughout the north. The city of Louisville has paid the transportation of a number of these boys back to their homes. As many as 17 were provided with free transportation in June. Atlanta has enacted another discriminatory law. It granted raises to white city employees and ignored the colored city employees. Union labor: No report of recent friction between white and colored workers involving union labor. Approximately 100 colored girls are on strike with white workers in the cloak workers union in New York. In Raleigh less hostility is reported against Negro bricklayers by white union bricklayers. In New York motion picture operators, recently permitted to join the union, reported greatly increased wages. One colored operator, formerly employed at $45.00 a week for 66 hours work, now receives $63.02 a week for 35 hours work. NOTIMOM3NT M KLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED THE REV.

SHOOT NEGROES POLICE RESERVE GEORGIA MU We are very gratified indeed at the results of the primary as they affect our group particularly. While the vote was not nearly as heavy as was anticipated or predicted, the fact remains that our people in response to our urging to lay aside petty criticisms and personal likes and dislikes and stand unitedly behind our candidates in the ninth and tenth districts have accomplished that which was deemed not impossible, but highly improbable. They have nominated two candidates for the state legislature in Omaha and one in Lincoln. Dr. John A. Singleton won out by a substantial majority, over a strong opponent in his district, and F. L. Barnett defeated two others in his district by a good majority of the votes cast. T. Trago MacWilliams of Lincoln, is the winner in his district. So that for the first time in its history Nebraska has duly named three race candidates for the state legislature. It shows what can be done, when knowing what we are up against and not deceived by false statements, we use every ounce of energy to accomplish what we desire. It may be well to note in passing that N. W. Ware, candidate for municipal judge, also received a good sized vote. The Monitor is gratified with the result. The election comes in November. That will be the supreme test. We are confident that all three of these candidates can be elected as they are all in strong republican districts and there will be no question of their election if our people will register and get out and vote and white republicans will play fair and vote for colored candidates as the colored people have always voted for the white candidates. We believe they will. The chief interest in Douglas county centered in the nomination of sheriff. McDonald won. He was not our candidate, but he is to be congratulated upon the loyalty with which his friends and champions stood by him. Koutsky made a valiant fight, but some of the forces aligned with him, like some aligned with McDonald were not regarded with favor by many of the voters. Others preferred to see Koutsky remain as city commissioner where he has undoubtedly made good and seriously questioned whether he would have gained in either prestige or usefulness by becoming sheriff. This was and is the view of The Monitor. The democrats nominated John Hopkins who will, unless all signs fail, give the republican nominee a royal battle for the sheriff's mace. Henry Beal, whom The Monitor supported for county attorney, received the largest vote of any county republican nominee, despite the opposition of the hooded crowd and the Civic Alliance, which is an endorsement of the manner in which he has tried to conduct his office. Judge Sears, present congressman, easily defeated his opponent, William F. Gurley, prominent and able attorney. He also was our choice. Grace Berger distanced all competitors in the race for county clerk, which is a just recognition of her ability and efficiency. The primaries locally disclosed a healthful sign of independence of both political boss and Klan control, although these elements figured in the contests. Voters to a large degree ignored appeals of bosses or of cliques and voted for candidates whom they believed would do the right thing. This intelligent voting is a hopeful sign. We hope the time is passing, and we believe it is, that it can be said of our people, particularly, that this interest or that controls our vote and can swing it any way it pleases. The direct primary will in time prove a great school for intelligent, independent political thinking. An intelligent electorate is the safeguard of the republic. The people have by their own free choice nominated those whom they believe will, if elected in November, give us honest and good government to the best of their ability. DETROIT COPS SHOOT NEGROES POLICE RESERVES PROTECT GEORGIA MURDER SUSPECT Detroit, Mich.—Three times in three days Negroes have been shot down by police officers in this city for failing to halt, when commanded to do so by the police. In only one instance had the men committed any crime and that one had had a fight, according to reports, and is said to have stabbed his adversary. The times are quite frequent here when colored men are shot on the slightest provocation, by the police. CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Memphis, Tenn.—Fifty years of married life were celebrated here by Mr. and Mrs. Florence Cooper during the past week. Mrs. Cooper, one of the original Fisk Jubilee singers, has been a teacher in the public schools of Memphis for 47 years. The matron of honor for Mrs. Cooper was Mrs. Virginia Broughton, who celebrated her golden wedding anniversary last March. Both women attended Fisk more than fifty years ago.

W. Wilson, has confessed the crime. Large mobs gathered several times but were dispersed by the presence of the reserves. URBAN LEAGUE AIDS NEGROES IN SECURING EMPLOYMENT New York—(By the A. N. P.)—That the Urban league, through its local branches, is aiding Negroes in securing employment and in improving the conditions of the Negro workers, is indicated in the report made public by Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league. This phase of the work is conducted by T. Arnold Hill, secretary of the Industrial Relations Department, who recently made a tour of the industrial centers of the country.

Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man THE MONITOR'S RECORD The Monitor has hitherto refrained from entering into any controversy with our local contemporary, The New Era, or any of the other race publications which have come into being and passed away during the lifetime of The Monitor, now in the twelfth year of its publication. So far as The New Era is concerned, there has been no occasion for it inasmuch as our relationship has been most cordial and we have both striven to demonstrate a unity of purpose in contending for the rights of the race. We have therefore dissipated no energy in criticizing each other. With reference to certain candidates and measures we have been on opposite sides in two or three political campaigns and we have not always seen eye to eye in other minor matters, but these honest differences of opinion have not been of sufficient moment to justify the wasting of energy in attacking each other. Last week, however, The New Era departed from its usual policy, for reasons which are quite apparent, and made a charge against The Monitor which cannot be permitted to be ignored or to pass unchallenged. It charged us with a traitorous act and of secretly supporting the opponent of the race candidate because we presumed to tell the truth concerning the conditions confronting us in the Ninth District and also as to the criticisms being advanced against the candidate by those who were looking for some excuse not to support him. We have this to say that we have not one word of apology to make or one single syllable to retract of what we said in our editorial of July 30th. There was nothing in the editorial to justify the construction put upon it by The New Era and a few others. Readers of The Monitor know that whatever else our faults may be, hypocrisy is not one of them. We stand upon our record as to race loyalty. The Monitor simply said publicly what others, including the editor of The New Era, said to us privately. The time and place of our conversation with the editor of The New Era was Saturday afternoon, July 10, in his office, when we were inspecting the official registration list and discussing the chances of the candidate whom we were both anxious to see nominated and elected. He was by no means as, "optimistic" then, as he claimed to be in his re AN IMPORTANT WORK The postal regulations re be sent through the mails s advance. A reasonable time renewals.

We would have ignored this very transparent attack upon us, did we not believe that were we to let it pass unchallenged our silence would be misconstrued and capitalized. The Monitor stands upon its record for honesty, straightforwardness and square dealing. While it was good newspaper business and we congratulate the Kansas City Call for its acumen in putting the deal across it is quite questionable as to its value from a political point of view in invading Omaha with a Kansas City newspaper advising the people of Omaha how to vote. It was an act of impertinence for any resident or residents of Kansas City to advise the people of Omaha how to vote, just as it would be for the condition to be reversed. It also discloses short-sightedness upon the part of local promoters who fell for this clever stunt. Had one-half the amount spent with the Kansas City Call and for the importation of Kansas City advisers been spent with the Omaha race publications, whose advertising columns are open to all who desire to use them, the probability is that the results might have been better than those obtained. At least they would have been as good. With this attitude upon the part of certain politicians towards local race publications is there any wonder why they do not and will not receive the editorial support from The Monitor which they think they ought to receive and which would undoubtedly be of some help to them. "THE NIGHT CRY" "The Night Cry," Rin-Tin-Tin's latest Warner Bros. feature coming to the Lake theatre on Sunday is said to be one of the most colorful pictures in which this famous canine star has ever appeared. It was filmed in its entirety right in the heart of the sheep raising country-wide plains, rolling hills, streams, everything just as one would find in these romantic and colorful surroundings. The sheep country and its people form the background of the story, with Rinty playing the leading role and carrying it through to its thrilling climax. Herman Raymaker, the director, who made Rin-Tin-Tin's last success "Tracked in the Snow Country", and "Below the Line", wielded the megaphone for "The Night Cry." June Marlowe, the little heroine, is firmly established with the followers or Rinty's features, as she has played the feminine lead in a great many of them. John Harron, brother of the late "Bobby" Harron, is said to do some great work in "The Night Cry." Gayne Whitman, Don Alvarado, Heinie Conklin and Mary Louise Miller are included in the cast. Phil Klein and Edward Meagher wrote "The Night Cry."

They were the guests of Poro college and Mrs. Annie M. Malone. Mrs. Malone's beautiful Pierce-Arrow and Cadillac cars met the party at the station Saturday morning and took them to Poro building where breakfast was awaiting them. At 11 o'clock after breakfast the party spent one hour in going through the building and different departments. At 12 o'clock the employees entertained the guests with a program. Dinner was served at 1:30 p. m. and in the evening the A. party enjoyed the open air opera in Forest park. The next day, Sunday, Mrs. Malone ordered a sight seeing bus to take the party over the city and to the various churches for services. After a most delicious dinner they spent the rest of the afternoon in Mrs. Malone's apartment. With praises from everyone on Mrs. Malone's most wonderful hospitality, the group took the 6:30 train for home. The party was escorted to the college by Mrs. Birdie J. Hawkins, travel demonstrator for Poro college, and Mrs. Eva Williams Hawkins, manager of the sub station here. Mr. and Mrs. Gaston McDaniels left for a trip to southern Texas by auto last Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Adair left for a trip to Coffeeville, Kans., and Oklahoma by automobile. They departed Sunday morning. Miss Zurreta Doty and Roy Ford are autoing in Kansas and Missouri this week. Mrs. E. J. Griffin is out after some days of illness. Mr. Bernie Pitts spent several days in Plattsburg, Mo., and visited Mrs. Alma Wiley while there. The Utopian Art club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mosley at their home last Thursday night and the meeting was attended fairly well. The several churches held their usual services last Sunday. The pastors delivered wholesome sermons to their congregations. The Sunday schools and aid societies were well attended by young folks. Cornhusker lodge No. 579 L. B. P. O. E. of W. held their annual two-day picnic in Lincoln park last Wednesday and Thursday, August 4th and 5th. It was a boomer and attracted crowds of people from neighboring towns. They had amusements of various kinds, and hundreds of iced watermelons and refreshments which caused the crowds to enjoy the affair greatly. Dancing was enjoyed by those who desired to engage in it and the management was good. NEGROES WIN RIGHT TO BEACH Los Angeles, Cal.—(By the A. N. P.)—Apropos the agitation as to the restriction of privately owned beaches which outline practically all the ocean front and the boycoting of "Jim Crow" pools, it is of great interest to know the Board of Supervisors has purchased for the county a large strip of Manhattan Beach frontage. This deal was made with the avowed purpose of protecting the people's rights, and will be opened for equal use by colored and white alike. Alger Leroy Adams, son of Mrs. George Dixon, celebrated his 16th birthday anniversary Wednesday, August 11th, at a dancing party. 24 guests were present. Mrs. Grace Hayes, who has been visiting friends and relatives at Forest Green and Glasgow, Mo., returned home last Wednesday. DR.

The Sunday schools taking part were Zion, Mount Moriah, Pleasant Green, Salem, Bethel and St. James' Baptist; St. John's and Bethel A. M. E.; Grove M. E. and Cleves Temple C. M. E. Mr. Harry L. Anderson was responsible for putting this, the first picnic of its kind to be held in Omaha, over. Baseball games, races and other games were eagerly participated in and were features of the day, while the tables literally groaned, but only for a little while under the abundance of good things to eat. STREET CAR COLLIDES WITH AUTO A party of Lincolnites narrowly escaped serious, if not fatal injuries, Sunday night about 6:30, when their automobile was struck by a north bound street car at Twenty-fourth and Grace streets. The occupants of the car were Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Ferguson and their eight-year-old daughter, Marie, and the Misses Twila Nichols and Anita Miller. They had left Lincoln after dinner for a ride to Fremont. The roads being in fine condition they decided to return to Lincoln by way of Omaha and were homeward bound. At Twenty-fourth and Grace Mr. Ferguson started to turn into the oil station after a south bound car had passed but evidently miscalculated the distance from the street crossing of a northbound car and which he thought would check up, as is customary in Lincoln. The motorman seemed unable to stop his car and struck the Ferguson car near the front seat. Little Marie, who was on the front seat with her father was thrown out, but escaped with minor bruises. Mrs. Fer- THE MONITOR guson was bruised on the head and Miss Nichols, who was the most seriously injured, was cut over the left eye. They were treated by Dr. Wesley Jones, and then taken to St. Philip's rectory where they spent the night, leaving Monday morning for Lincoln. BOSTON SINGER PLEASES AUDIENCE The small audience which greeted Mile, M. H. Demby, mezzo-soprano prima donna of Boston, Mass., at Grove M. E. church last Friday night was well repaid by a delightful program. It is to be regretted that a larger audience was not present for the talented singer richly deserved one. Mile. Demby has an excellent voice and handles it well. Each number elicited encounters to which the singer graciously responded. Her numbers were "The Dove", by Arditti; next a group of four including "The Sweetest Flower That Blows"; "Absent"; "An Emblem" and "The Daisy" and the closing number, "The Flower of the Alps". Carlton Goodlet contributed a saxophone solo; Mrs. Gertrude Shackelford, a humorous reading and Gaines' orchestra furnished two selections. KANSAS CITY MINISTER GIVES ADDRESS AT PRE-ELECTION MEET Dr. C. Sumner Williams of Kansas City, Mo., noted throughout the country for his anti-Klan activities was the principle speaker at a large pre-election gathering held at the Summer Garden last Monday night. The speaker in a very interesting manner, yet forcefully, set forth the aims and ideals of the Negro of to-day. He declared that a new Negro has come into being in America and that the old hatin-hand, belly crawling, spoon licking Negro was dead. In his place has come the new Negro, not seeking any special privilege or sympathy but the same justice and fair play that is accorded all citizens by virtue of our constitution. He stated that the colored man of today feels that if he is good enough to go ten thousand miles from home to pull a trigger to make this country safe for democracy he is good enough to scratch the ballot in the government of its civic affairs. The Kn Klux Klan, the speaker asserted, was un-American. Men that had to cover their faces and deny their affiliation when questioned about their order were not to be trusted. In every place where the klan has been permitted to gain a foothold, it has brought its spirit of intolerance and the baneful effects which accrue therefrom. Indianapolis permitted it to thrive and the result was that regional segregation was fostered on our people. "No white man," said Dr. Williams, "no matter how high or powerful, can be absolutely free unless the black man is free also." In his conclusion, the speaker urged his hearers to make a prompt and sane use of their franchise and that it was treasonable to be indifferent when vital issues affecting our people were being determined. Dr. Williams is a forceful speaker, has a very engaging manner, and drove his points home with adroitenss by the use of carefully and cleverly selected anecdotes. Speeches were made by Dr. John A. Singleton adn other candidates for office. H. J. Pinkett, Attorney. NOTICE OF PROBATE OF WILL In the County Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF Rosie McMillan, deceased.

It was one of Kalimykoff’s paintings, now worth, it is said, several times the amount usually pald for such service. About a year ago, Kalinyko and his fiancee appeared before Justice ‘Wood, and explained they wished to wed, but that every cent was needed for other expenses. “Never mind,” said Justice Wood, “il marry you, anyhow.” Departing, Kalmykoff assured the magistrate he would repay him in some way, some time, but It was not until recently that Judge Wood heard from him again, Sigmund S'renco, ‘an attorney, ap: peared in Justice Wood's chambers with the painting and said it was Kalmykoff's dying request that the picture be presented to the jurist. “He was getting a reputation rap- idly when he passed away,” said S'ren- co, “and the prices of lis work now are advancing at a rapid rate. The small painting could have been sold for about $25 at the time of his death, and if you wish to dispose of it now you will get more.” Judge Wood hung it on the wall of his chambers, Baby Baroness Proves Surprise to U.

For Murray Compton was the origi nator of “China Wall,” that stupen- dous blunder which was designed to save the lives of soldiers but which became a trap in which many hun Ireds were killed. Compton's battalion was doing duty in the Ypres sector in the spring of 1916, From the ramparts, in Ypres city, to the front line the soldiers were exposed to a withering shell and machine-gun fire while going to and rom the line, ‘The distance was omewhat more than a mile, but ra tion and working parties, as well ns battalions going Into or coming out of the line, suffered terribly, The troops had the choice of two routes : the one up Menin road, which was a veritable deathtgay, and the other hrough Zillebek village, Most of Mem chose the latter route, for It ac: corded slight protection, Chinese Wall Recalled. While leading bis company in and out of the line Compton became hor. rifled at the number of casualties and his inventive brain sought some meth. od of reducing the loss of life, Sud denly he was confronted with a men tal picture of the great wall of China, which for centuries had kept out en- emies of the yellow men. Compton was practical enough to realize that time prevented the erec- tion of a wall which would corre- spond with the original He submitted his rough {dea to his colonel, who approved it and sent ft to brigade headquarters, From there It went to division and then corps head quarters. Here it was turned over to the commanding officer of the engt- neers, whose approval hastened con- struction, Night after night, for many weeks, weary working parties filled sandbags which were pounded into the form. of hnge bricks and laid end to end to form a great wall. Weeks of cease- less activity saw the task comfipleted without interruption from the enemy. Casualties Much Reduced. ‘The wall stood for weeks, the nd- miration of every soldier who found protection behind its friendly shadow. Casualties were reduced to a mint. mum and Compton was showered with honors. He was mentioried in dis. patches and decorated with the milf tary cross, Come the 2nd of June, that fateful day when the German high command concentrated everything on a terrific drive, which was calculated to drive a wedge in the British lines and open “up a route to the channel ports.
