First Victory In Anti-Segregation Fight $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy N. A. A. C. P. WINS FIGHT AGAINST WASHINGTON, D. C., SEGREGATION Secretary Work Yields to Persistent Demand to Abandon Segregation of Employees in Interior Department New York — Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports to the national office that all 42 colored employees who had been segregated in the Department of the Interior, have been ordered back to their old, unsegregated posts of duty. Mr. Thomas terms the order "an unprecedented backdown on this great issue; and by the most stubborn man in the cabinet. All Negro Washington is acclaiming the victory." The victory against segregation in the Interior department comes as the consequence of a persistent campaign engineered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under the leadership of Mr. Thomas, with the co-operation of other bodies. In the course of the campaign, Mr. Thomas several times called upon Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, to present protests in person as well as by letter, against the segregation of colored employees. The colored press of the country rallied, almost as a unit in this campaign, and the N. A. A. C. P. was able to present Mr. Work with copies of newspapers from every part of the United States showing that sentiment was united against the practice which had been inaugurated in the government buildings. Significant of the effect of the N. A. A. C. P. campaign, is the following extract from a dispatch from Washington to the Savannah, Georgia, News, which stated: "Expectation of the Negro to be in the thick of the political situation as 1928 approaches has been evidenced by special activity in this city and in Chicago. Prospects of support of Herbert Hoover for the presidency have been affected this week by action of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through investigation of alleged segregation and racial discrimination in the pension office under Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, said to be closely aligned with the candidacy of the secretary of commerce." The N. A. A. C. P. reprints the above extract, not because its action in the segregation fight was in any sense motivated by political reasons, but to show that the campaign has registered in the minds of politicians and political correspondents. Secretary Work's memorandum ending the department segregation, directs "that all the employees in the pension bureau, both white and colored, affected by the new organization of the division of files, be restored to the location and work assignments they formerly occupied." Secretary Work denied that segregation was intended, saying, "I want no feeling that there was any so-called segregation intended in the changes complained of, because such a feeling would militate against efficiency, the only purpose contemplated by the change." THE GRAND CHAPTER ORDER EASTERN STAR CONVENED IN OMAHA The Amaranthus Grand Chapter, O. E. S. of Nebraska and its jurisdiction, convened October 12, 13, and 14 at the Masonic hall. The grand chapter was called to order by Worthy Grand Matron Maggie Ransom. In the absence of Worthy Grand Patron I. B. Smith, Asseciate Grand Patron W. P. Wade presided in conjunction with the W. G. M. Peace and harmony prevailed throughout the session. While the delegates enjoyed the social events, a reception was held Wednesday night at the hall and a banquet Thursday night at the Y. W. C. A. arranged by the local committee, of which Mrs. Florence Johnson, was chairman. Each sick member of the grand chapter and the various subordinate chapters was remembered by receipt of a bouquet of flowers. THE MONITOR The following grand officers were elected: Maude H. Johnson, worthy grand matron; W. P. Wade, worthy grand patron; Estella Craig, associate grand matron; Thomas Scott, associate grand patron; Lulu B.

NEW PASTOR INSTALLED The Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Mount Moriah Baptist church, Twenty-fourth and Ohio streets, was formally installed Sunday afternoon. The installation sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. H. Jackson, pastor of Bethel Baptist church, South Side, whose choir and a quartet rendered special music. Five-minute talks were given by officers of the New Era Baptist Association. A week of special services in which various churches participated, preceded the formal installation service of Sunday. Monday night the installation exercises culminated in a reception complimentary to the pastor and his wife at which an excellent literary and musical program was given. The musical numbers were selections by the congregation and a tenor solo by Mr. W. L. Myers. The Misses Ethel and Anna Speeze gave readings. Mrs. L. Lohman read a thoughtful paper, entitled "The Spirit of Missions." The principal address of the evening was delivered by Attorney H. J. Pinkett, who advocated co-operation upon the part of all citizens of color in helping to make Omaha a better city in which to live. The Rev. Mr. Burton and Mrs. Burton gave brief addresses expressing their appreciation of the courtesies shown them and the good-will expressed and pledging themselves to do faithfully the work which they had accepted. The Rev. Mr. Burton comes to Omaha from Minneapolis. COMMITTEE ASKS AN APPROPRIATION FOR URBAN LEAG A committee, headed by Dr. Craig Morris, appeared before the Board of Governors of the Community Chest, Monday afternoon, with the request that $5,000 be appropriated for financing a branch of the Urban League in this city. Dr. Morris gave a clear-cut and lucid statement of the origin and work of the Urban League. Other speakers were the Rev. Dr. Trusty, the Rev. Russel Taylor, the Rev. John H. Grant and Mr. Charles Stanton, secretary and treasurer of the Inter-racial Committee operating the Free Colored Employment bureau. The general sentiment expressed by all the speakers was in favor of an Urban League. Dr. Grant stated that he believed that it ought to be financed by our own people, and if it was a good thing, as he believed it was, there was no need of "bootlegging it in." Mr. Stanton said that the Urban League, nor the Y. M. C. A., nor any other agency would solve all the Negro's problems, as no agency could solve all white people's problems. Mr. C. M. Wilhelm, president of the Board of Governors, thanked the committee for coming and presenting the subject, stated that inasmuch as the subject of the Urban League had not come before the budget committee that committee hod appropriated $3,000 for colored work, leaving its disposition to a joint committee of the social agencies and a committee representing the colored people, the Rev. John Albert Williams to be a member of that committee. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1927 EDITORIAL Next Tuesday nearly 1,200 volunteer workers will begin combing the city for subscriptions and donations for the Community Chest. What is the Community Chest? This is a most important question, for despite the fact that Omaha has had a Community Chest for four years and people have heard a great deal about it, we are convinced that there is a large number of citizens among all groups of our population who do not know what the Community Chest is. What is your idea about it? Is it clear in your mind just what it is and aims to do, and what is your relationship in or towards it, and just what your duty and responsibility is, as a citizen of Omaha, concerning it? If your mind is clear on these points then you will be ready and willing to cheerfully give your share when requested. The Community Chest is one big common fund, purse or pot, made up by contributions, big and little, from everybody in the community who will give for financing or paying for the charitable and welfare work of thirty organizations which are ministering in various ways to the physical, moral, mental and spiritual betterment of the people of Omaha, according to the needs of each, and this irrespective of race, creed, or color. It gives to everyone an opportunity to help do a big and necessary job, helping the fellow in need and building character. In a word, making Omaha a better and happier community in which to live. The work carried on by these various agencies may be classified as that of Family Welfare and Relief, Health, Care of Children, Care of Aged, Education and Aid of Underprivileged, Protective and Shelter Homes, Work Among Girls and Boys. Part of this work, as you see, comes under the head of charity and charitable institutions, and another part under the head of welfare and character building agencies which eventually reduce the need of what is strictly known as charity. Forward looking cities a few years ago discovered that instead of having independent agencies making several appeals for funds and getting donations from a comparatively few, which made the cost of collection quite high, and reducing thereby the amount available for the direct work for which it was collected, it would be better to establish one big fund out of which could and would be paid the expenses for carrying on this needed work, and so they established what is known as the Community Chest. Four years ago, or in the fall of 1923, Omaha seeing how the plan worked in other cities adopted the Community Chest plan, and it has proven quite successful. Each agency makes a budget for the year. It says we will need so much money to do our work. These budgets are submitted to the budget committee of the Board of Governors of the Community Chest, who hold several meetings and spend hours and hours going over these several budgets, suggesting cuts where deemed necessary, and then they agree upon the amount that will be necessary to finance this work for the year. They set a figure. This year it is $435,000, or about $2.00 from every resident of Omaha, provided every man, woman and child of the total population could and would give. But the budget is fixed and then the whole community is requested to put whatever he feels he can and ought to give in this common fund called the Community Chest. Then each one of the agencies, like the Associated Charities, the Visiting Nurses Association, the Colored Old Folks Home, the Christ Child Society, etc., is paid, month by month, the amount of money allotted to it. Not all that each may have asked for, but as much as the Board of Governors by whom the report of its budget committee must be endorsed, honestly believe can be given each agency in proportion to the contents of the Community Chest, or pocketbook, and in justice to other agencies. The Community Chest aims to interest all citizens of the community in helping support the charitable and welfare work of the city. It aims to create a community spirit. Last year nearly 40,000 people, about one-fifth of the population, contributed to the Chest. "Chipped in," as Mayor Dahlman would say. Well, you are a citizen of Omaha. The Community Chest campaign offers you the privilege and opportunity of helping to make Omaha a better and happier city. To help the fellow who may be out of a job to get one. To help some family in need. To provide shelter for the aged. To help administer to the sick, the poor and the outcast. To help in the development of boys and girls, who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It is a good cause which you are privileged to help. As our people have contributed to the Community Chest in the past we are very confident that all will gladly and cheerfully contribute this year, according to the limit of their ability, so that the full quota of $435,000 may not only be raised but surpassed. Give what you can to the Community Chest. Feel that you have a share in the good work that all these agencies are doing. Do your bit. WRONGS CAN BE RIGHTED WHEN RIGHTFULLY ATTACKED The recent victory won in knocking out segregation in the Department of the Interior at Washington shows what can be done in righting wrongs when intelligently and rightfully attacked. Segregation of government employees in Washington began under President Taft and has been continued under his successors. Like all other evils, which are not checked in time, it steadily and stealthily grew. It was first introduced in the Department of Printing and Engraving, and then crept by stealth into other departments. A few months ago, under the pretense of making necessary changes for efficiency in the Treasury Department—why cannot those who pride themselves upon their superiority be honest and straightforward and not so damnably hypocritical in dealing with our people?—forty-one Negro employees were transferred and segregated in one department, several of the employees being thus demoted and placed in a lower class, not only as to work, but as to pay. The Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under its intrepid, able and alert leader, Neval Thomas, may his tribe increase! took up the fight against this unjust and undemocratic act. His efforts were reinforced by the National Office, the Equal Rights League, and the race newspapers of the country. The result has been that the employees have been restored to their former Volume XIII—No. 16 COLLEGE OF LAW HONORS COLORED CO-ED Lincoln, Neb.—(Special to The Monitor)—At the recent election held at the University of Nebraska, Miss Zanzye H. Hill, a member of our race, was featured on the ballots. The Morning Journal had the following account of this election: "Six coeds were in the race for honorary colonel of the cadet regiment. The winner is not announced until the annual military ball early in December. The Law college ran in a surprise candidate, Miss Zanzye Hill, a junior from Lincoln. Miss Hill, a colored girl, is the only woman in the law college and was backed solidly by that school." Last year Miss Hill was the winner of a scholarship offered by the Law school. The young student, who received her A. B. degree from that institution in June, is also active in other campus activities, being the only race girl who has membership in the university vesper choir, an organization with sixty members. Miss Hill is a pledge of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. E. Hill of Lincoln. LEAGUE OFFICIAL TO VISIT OMAHA New York—T. Arnold Hill, director of the National Urban League or of the National Urban League's Department of Industrial Relations is off to the west in search of better jobs for Negroes. In Milwaukee Mr. Hill goes to confer with heads of the city's largest industrial plants and to speak before the leaders of the race through whom he hopes to pass a word of warning to the workers, lest the remarkably fine showing the race has made should be impaired in the midst of the unemployment depression throughout the middle west. From Milwaukee he goes to Minneapolis and St. Paul, thence to Springfield, Ill., Omaha, St. Louis and Indianapolis. In these cities an extension of occupational opportunities will be sought. Omaha, where the Negro population is estimated at 17,000, ther is an abundance of common labor, but few skilled jobs. For women the field is disappointing. A branch of the Urban League now in process of organization there was stimulated by this condition which both white and colored people desire changed. Y. W. C. A. Increased attendance and a desire to learn more is noticed as we go into our second week at the night or opportunity school held every Monday and Wednesday evenings. The regular monthly board meeting was held Saturday, October 15th. New interest and new members with new ideas made the meeting interesting and many new plans to improve the "Y" were talked of. The Membership committee, in order to raise funds for a radio, are quilting and tacking comforts quite reasonably. Help them buy a radio for our girls. The Publicity committee meets every Tuesday in special session for a while to perfect certain plans they are trying to put over. Public speaking class is held every Wednesday night. Do you know how to speak at meetings, if not come out and learn! My! One should see the beautiful shades, placques, Artamo pieces and flowers made in our art classes. Come out and learn how to make your Christmas presents. BETHEL A. M. E. GETS A NEW PASTOR The Rev. J. H. Garner of Macon City, Mo., has been assigned to Bethel A. M. E. church, as the successor of the Rev. T. W. Kidd. He held his first services last Sunday, returning thereafter to Macon for his family, with whom he will arrive Saturday and enter into residence at the parsonage. See next week's issue of The Monitor for the announcement of a new and wide-awake real estate company. ```markdown ``` GROWING — THANK YOU 16 Whole Number 638 FIGHT FORMER OMAHA BOY STARS IN THE MOVIES Son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shackle- ford Is Making a Name for Himself as a Movie Floyd Shackleford, one of the twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. William Shackleford, 2115 Ohio street, will play the leading role in the new colored production, the stupendous drama, "Babylon," to be staged in the San Gabriello playhouse by John Stevens McGroarty, who stages the famous mission play yearly, depicting the early days of California. Mr. Shackleford, better known as Buster, for several years one of the most used Negro actors, has been selected for this drama because of his heroic build and power of expression. The part of "Essonnues," which he plays, is that of a huge Nubian, a tall giant, ominously silent figure in bronze, standing statue-like beside his king. A superb body with powerful, rippling, muscles, leaping into swift, dynamic action, with murderous power and unrelenting vengeance; who has been enslaved and his tongue cut out, yet around his life much of the story swings, and though unable to speak, he helps to shape the colorful and tragic destinies of that ancient, ill-fated city. His twin brother, Lloyd Shackleford, is also in the movies and they are making good. Some of their movie plays are as follows: "The Ten Commandments," "The King of Kings," "Romance," "The Sea a Hawk," "Hold That Lion," "Campus Flirt," "Man Trap," with Lon Chaney in "The road to Mandalay," "The Claw," "The Spider's Web," and many other pictures too numerous to mention. "BEARCAT" WRIGHT TO MEET "CHUCK" WIGGINS Omaha Athletic Club Is Staging Boxing Bout of the Season Between Tunney's Trainer and Popular Colored Fighter "Bearcat" Wright, Omaha's popular colored heavyweight boxer, is going to get the chance on October 28 at the city auditorium, to show "Chuck" Wiggins that the decision of their first battle was not fair. When the two boys mixed the first time, Wright was given the decision. Jack Lewis, his manager, insisted that his boy was just as good, and now the famous "Bearcat" will get his chance again. On the bill are going to be some wonderful preliminaries. Robert S. Simmons of the Omaha Athletic club, who is one of "Bearcat" Wright's close followers, said that the "Bearcat" is going to win by a knockout this time. Mr. Simmons picks the seventh round. All who know Mr. Simmons by his work as organizer and president of the Colored Amateur Baseball League know that he usually predicts such events very well. Monte Munn, the Nebraska legislator, was offered $2,000 to fight the "Bearcat" but he refused. Jimmie Daugherty, manager of George Godfrey, refused to respond to the Omaha Athletic club's request for a bout. The "Bearcat" has them all scared. Wiggins was formerly light-heavyweight champion of Australia. He has licked most of the good boys in this country. He trained Gene Tunney for his last victory over Jack Dempsey. Tickets are on sale at the Omaha Athletic club, Baseball Headquarters, Live Stock Exchange, Ernie Holmes', Auditorium and Knights of Columbus. RETURN FROM HONEYMOON Mr. and Mrs. Overstreet have returned to Omaha for an indefinite stay after visiting many of the principal cities on their honeymoon. The oride was Miss Halleck Allen. Mr. and Mrs. Overstreet were married June 5. They are residing for the present at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Allen, 2812 Caldwell street.

There may be others, but we wish at this time to emphasize one or two, which, in our judgment, seem paramount. The chief need is that of unity and a willingness to unite on some community program. There must be an agreement upon some corporate work, institute or institutions in which we can all unite; something for the entire community. There is, for example a most worthy charity in which all ought to be deeply interested and that is the Old Folks Home conducted by the Negro Women's Christian Association. It is the only agency of the kind which we have here and we ought to take real pride in supporting and developing it.. Then, there is the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A., of which we have before spoken, which should be more generally supported and used by our people. These are going community institutions which should elicit our over-vaunted but seldom demonstrated race pride. But aside from these two institutions Omaha imperatively needs a strong branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N. A. A. C. P. is the one chief outstanding national organization fighting sane and effectively for the civil and constitutional rights primarily of American citizens of color, and incidentally for the constitutional rights of all American citizens, for in almost every victory won by this militant organization, in safeguarding the rights of Negro citizens, it has by the same token and in the same degree safeguarded the rights of white Americans. Omaha once had a strong branch of this organization, but it was given a setback, largely due to denominational jealousies, from which it has never recovered. Its membership is now less than 200. It ought to be at least 1,000 or 1,500. Exigencies are frequently arising in this community affecting our civil rights which need to be met, and which can only be met successfully by a strong local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. which whenever necessary will be aided by the National office. Denver, with a race population less than half of Omaha, has a strong branch! so have Moines, Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. What is the matter with Omaha? Another thing that Omaha needs is some strong social organization with a trained and capable social worker at its head, with a competent force that can function effectively in our group. A branch of the National Urban League, which is not a rival to or a substitute for the N. A. A. C. P., would seem to fill this need. This organization has functioned and is functioning successfully in other cities and it is probable, but only probable, that it may function here. It cannot, however, be dragged in over night, or brought prematurely to birth. There must be preparation for it, intelligent, systematic preparation; an educational campaign which will acquaint the community of its --- Season's Big Sporting Event Sponsored by the OMAHA ATHLETIC CLUB "Bearcat" WRIGHT Omaha's Popular Colored Boxer vs. "Chuck" WIGGINS Trainer for Tunney IN TEN ROUNDS—FINAL BOXING CONTEST Oct. 28 - City Auditorium TICKETS NO ON SALE Prices: $1 - $2 - $3, Plus Tax methods, objectives, a n d achievements. This cannot be done in a corner, but in the open, with the widest and fullest publicity. There are doubtless wide-visioned, sincere and socially-minded white friends who are willing to co-operate with us, and whose co-operation should be cordially welcomed, but the initiative must come from ourselves. And in whatever attempt is made to improve conditions there should be absolute frankness and square dealing, without the impunging of the motives of others and no camouflaging. These are some of our local racial needs as we see them. A COMMON WEAKNESS We are all very prone to make our dislike for or distrust of an individual, or a group of individuals, blind us to the worthiness of a good cause. Most of us are constituted this way, but honest and sober reflection will convince us that it is wrongful for us to do this. "The hen does not stop scratching because worms are scarce." COMMUNITY CHEST ATTITUDE TOWARD COLORED AGENCIES The question of the attitude of the Community Chest toward the work of colored agencies in general and the Urban League in particular, has been brought to my attention. The budget committee have recommended and the board of governors of the Chest have approved, subject to any reductions that may have to be made due to a shortage in the campaign returns, the sum of $2,295 for the work of the colored Old Folks Home. They have further approved the sum of $3,000 for other colored work of the type represented by the employment bureau. There are also appropriations included as part of the budgets of other Community Chest agencies aggregating approximately $20,000 for work among members of the colored community. In making the appropriation of $3,000 indefinite rather than definite, there was no thought of the discontinuance of the present employment work. The Inter-racial committee was not asked to meet the budget committee because of the fact that the appropriation granted was more than the request. According to Community Chest practice agencies are asked to meet the committee only when cuts are made. night, deserve ence. The h well-filled for among which that Mr. Des Omaha on the cause the bar which all our The audien program which It combined the more popu The Chest was asked to receive a delegation interested in the Urban League plan, which it did at a meeting held October 17th. This had nothing to do, however, with the decisions of the budget committee, as they can only act on requests from organizations actually in existence. There has been no official action taken with a view to the elimination of any existing agency or group. As a matter of fact, the board of governors and the budget committee are extremely sympathetic to the idea of social work in the colored community to the extent that funds become available and that the community expresses a fairly united opinion that such work ought to be undertaken. I personally hope that this work may be as far as possible of, for and by the people of the colored community themselves. It is hoped and anticipated that the Community Chest, which opens next week, may receive the fullest support of the colored community as an important part of Greater Omaha and that colored citizens will demonstrate their fullest right to an increasing participation in Chest funds by means of increased subscriptions to it.

The house should have been well-filled for several reasons, chief among which is because of the work that Mr. Desdunes has done to put Omaha on the map musically and because the band is an institution of which all our citizens should be proud. The audience was well repaid by a program which appealed to all tastes. It combined the high classical with the more popular but ephemeral jazz. Then there were novelty features by artists in their line. The band numbers were all well rendered, those of the "Bohemian Girl" by Balfe; the "Crimson Petal" by Jewell; "The Doll Dance" by Brown, and "The Tiger Rag" by Frank Perkins, being exceptionally well executed. Miss Irene Cochran was in excellent voice and was enthusiastically received, graciously responding with an encore. Levi Broomfield's tenor solo demanded an encore. The dancing specialty by Samson Brown, showed him an artist with nimble and educated feet. The roller skate specialty by Don Morton, in which he showed himself perfectly at home as a dancer on roller skates, was clever and highly pleased the audience. RECEIVES GOVERNMENT POSITION IN THE EAST Mr. Alfred Jones, jr., oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones of Hillcrest, left Friday night for New York City, where he has been appointed by the government as meat inspector. Mr. Jones, a former student at Central High school, has been very popular here in musical circles. He is a noted pianist, starting his career when a boy of 15 years, as pianist with Dan Desdunes' orchestra. His many friends sincerely wish him success in his new undertaking.

It ought never to have begun. The segregation of federal employees by the United States government at the national capital is, in our judgment, largely responsible for the obsession for racial segregation which is sweeping the country, has caused regrettable occurrences and outbreaks in several sections of our country, and will cause more serious trouble if not abandoned or radically modified. The restoration of sanity on this subject is imperative. It is because of this that the backdown, and in the light of his former attitude on the subject, Mr. Work has wisely backed down—on this segregation policy is significant and far-reaching. The fight on segregation of government employees must continue until the last vestige of it has gone. When the government ceases its policy of segregation of its employees at the capital, then we can hope for a return to sanity on this subject throughout the country. Used Cars and Trucks WITH AN O.

The Georgia sheriff was intercepted with his prisoner in a train in Chicago two minutes before train time. He was again stopped in Terre Haute, Indiana, and with the refusal of Governor Jackson to deliver the colored man, the Georgia sheriff has met a decisive check.
