"Lily White" Leader Former Nebraskan LIFT LIFT State Historical Sec $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy BISHOP CAREY GIVEN GREAT OVATION WHEN CALLED TO PRESIDE Police Band Plays Stirring Tunes, Floral Offerings Shower and Multitudes Applaud Astute Prelate "POLITICAL TRICK," SAYS COOK Dramatic Staging of "Tribute" an Adroit and Contemptible Trick of Persistent Persecutor of Host Church Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Those delegates and members of the African Methodist Episcopal church who were in the beginning led to believe that the holding of a political office by Bishop Archibald J. Carey had affected in any way his popularity and influence as a bishop in his district of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, were disillusioned Wednesday morning when he was presented as the presiding bishop at the opening session at the Eighth Regiment armory, at Thirty-fifth street and Giles avenue. It is customary for the bishop who is to preside to receive, upon being presented, all of the enconioms, floral tributes and the like. The ovation accorded Bishop Carey was by far the greatest during the entire conference. Delegates, ministers, city police, various organizations and city workers joined in the reception of Bishop A. J. Carey and the mayor, William Hale Thompson, "followed from afar," which means that an emissary bore this message from the mayor's office. The police band played, Lieutenant William Middleton represented the Chicago police department and the 10,000 civil service employees of the city. A gold cross was presented to the bishop by Dr. J. C. Austin, Baptist minister, president of the Interchurch Good Will conference composed of 100 ministers and 60,000 members. Floral tributes came from the deaconesses of the churches of the denomination in Chicago. Another presentation was made by Dr. Roscoe C. Giles, of the board of trustees of the Metropolitan Community Center and church. "Carey Tribute" Causes Stir Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The presentation of a floral tribute by a group of the trustees and members of the Church of Christ and Metropolitan Community Center to Bishop A. J. Carey, Wednesday morning, caused quite a stir in the inner working of the independent church, of which Dr. W. D. Cook is pastor, and following a heated conference Thursday evening a circular signed by Dr. Cook was distributed repudiating the tribute. The "People's Church of Christ" was the result of a split in the ranks of the Bethel A. M. E. church some years ago, when Dr. Cook led his followers away from Bethel and founded an independent church. Since that time the church has grown in membership and purchased an attractive church edifice on South Parkway. The statement issued by Dr. Cook was as follows: "The general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was misled at the morning session on Wednesday by what was purported to be greetings from the People's Church of Christ and Metropolitan Community Center, to the conference and commendations to the presiding bishop. A. J. Carey. "The pastor and officers of the church and center hold in reverence and high respect the general conference and the many distinguished prelates composing it. The church and center ready to extend greetings whenever the opportunity is given. The greeting given on Wednesday morning was not authorized by the pastor and officers of the church. It was a political trick and a contemptible advantage taken of the church and the officers to carry out selfish ends of an individual in the interest of Bishop A. J. Carey, who (Continued on Page 4) THE MONITOR ARK. PEONAGE BOSS MUST PAY VICTIM Memphis, Tenn.—A federal jury awarded J. H. Coburn, of Crawfordsville, Ark., a verdict of $500 in a breach of contract case against Adam Jett, Memphis realtor, after deliberating less than one hour. In the suit the plaintiff, a tennant farmer, claimed that in July, 1927, the defendant broke a written contract previously signed, for lease of 100 acres on a West Memphis, Ark., plantation and gave him the alternative of working as a day laborer at $1.50 a day, or else to leave the crop and be dispossessed of his house. Prior to this, monthly payments of $100 were to be paid to the plaintiff, according to the complaint. The plaintiff further alleged that entire proceeds of the cotton crop were taken over by the defendant. WAGE DISCRIMINATION BE-TWEEN RACES SWATTED High Tribunal of So. African Union Hands Down Decision Which Protects Skilled Labor Cape Town, South Africa.—Race prejudice received a setback when the highest court of the Union of South Africa handed down a decision that no question of race or color shall be taken into consideration in industrial agreements or regulations of labor where skilled workers are concerned. For instance, a Negro printer is now bound by law to take not less than a certain minimum wage and if he is found accepting a lower one his employer will be prosecuted and probably heavily fined. In reporting this court decision, the Amsterdam Bureau of the International Federation of Trade Unions expresses the fear that the color bar act, which excludes natives from certain skilled trades, may be applied little by little to all the machinery trades in order to prevent the Indian and native African workers from entering them. Under two recent acts of the South African Parliament, disputes between skilled workers and their employers are to be established with full power to hear witnesses and hand down a judgment in such matters. LOUISIANA MOB FOILED IN VICTIM WRECK PROPERTY Frustrated in Attempt to Lynch Negroes Frenzied Mob Burns and Destroys Their Possessions on Farm Alexandria, La.—A lynching was barely averted recently at Long Leaf near here. Seven houses belonging to intended victims of a mob and their relatives were fired and other of the property destroyed by the raiders, who failed to get their intended victims. The mob violence occurred after William Blackman had shot and fatally wounded a deputy sheriff. Blackman was shot by one of the sheriff's party and died a short time afterwards. Before dying he said he mistook the sheriff's party for raiders and shot when they kept coming towards his home. News of the shooting spread rapidly and the mob soon assembled and set out for the Blackman home. Officers, however, removed the kin of the slain Blackman before their arrival. The mob, finding no one at home when they arrived, proceeded to burn, wreck and destroy everything they could get their hands upon. There were about 175 whites in the mob. K. OF P.

There should be a large attendance of our people, and especially of the ministers and professional people who are interested in Social work, at the vesper service next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. Not only will Miss Ruth Collins, acting secretary of the North Side "Y", who recently was sent as a delegate to the Young Women's Christian Association National Convention at Sacramento, Cal., give her report, which made an excellent impression when delivered at the Central branch, but prominent Social workers will also give the reports which were presented by them a few days ago at the Omaha Council of Social Agencies, upon their return from the National Conference of Social Work which met in Memphis, Tenn. These speakers will include Miss Lillian Gauss, head of the South Side Social Settlement, who has shown deep interest in the welfare of our group; Mr. John H. Hall, executive secretary of the Omaha Community Chest; Miss Esther Johnson of the Juvenile Court; Miss Florence McCabe of the Visiting Nurse Association, and Mr. Orville Robertson of the Associated Charities. All these are persons deeply interested in the social problems which confront our people in common with those of other citizens. Interracial understanding and fellowship loomed large in the programs of the Memphis Conference and the Y. W. C. A. Convention, and so the audience may expect worth-while messages and helpful suggestions from these speakers. Despite the fact that we may not all see eye to eye, it must be admitted by those disposed to be fair and open-minded that there is a sincere desire upon the part of most trained social workers to promote the welfare of the community by an intelligent and sympathetic understanding of the problems confronting the people. It could not be otherwise, for.Social Service is only another name for applied Christianity or, to be absolutely accurate, applied Religion. Its objective is the amelioration of the ills of humanity, poverty, crime, disease and like maladies, which handicap mankind in attaining the highest and fullest development. Social service, whether social workers will admit it or not, receives its impulse and motivation from the Christian doctrine of universal brotherhood, which demands opportunity for the normal development of every human being. Social Service, therefore, is essentially Christian. And if essentially Christian then it must be catholic-minded and catholic-hearted, interested in the whole of humanity. It is gradually creeping into the consciousness of America that the Negro is a human being, therefore he must be considered when human problems press for solution. And so social workers, we believe, are quite sincere in efforts to understand problems which concern us as part of the human family. That is why we are having social workers from our own ranks. Helpful contact and association between earnest, sincere, sober-minded folk who are anxious for human betterment promotes understanding and good-will. The more of this the better. For this reason we hope a large audience will attend the vesper service at the "Y" next Sunday afternoon to learn what is the mind of those who are working in various agencies for the betterment of all classes in the community. All of us need a larger vision and a larger sense of our responsibility in doing practical work and making individual contribution to social welfare.

The cash award must be used before Potter is 25 years old and will be dispensed in installments after he decides what course of study to take. Young Potter is a member of the Boy Scouts and is a student at the junior high school in Sandusky. In January, he with a group of lads was skating and the ice broke and young Meyer fell into the icy waters. Disregarding the danger of losing his own life, Potter plunged in the water and rescued Meyer. This is the second recognition he has received, the other being a certificate of heroism from the Boy Scout chief. INJUNCTION DENIED LILY WHITES BY A MISS. COURT Sheldon, Former Nebraska Governor, Now a Southernized Northerner, Cannot Oust Perry Howard Jackson, Miss.—Attempts of lily white republicans to exclude colored republicans from the party were finally defeated recently. The Perry Howard republican faction won a victory in the supreme court against Ex-Governor Geo. L. Sheldon, when the high court reversed and remanded the injunction case from Forrest county in which the Howard faction was enjoined from holding their primary elections under a call from the Howard state republican executive committee. Judge Smith, delivering opinion of the court, division A sitting, reaffirmed the former decisions of the court, holding that the courts have no jurisdiction to interfere in procedure of political party machinery under the primary election laws, even though the rights of members of the party may be infringed. IMPROVED LABOR CONDITIONS NOW IMPENDING, CLAIM Vast Army of Workers Will Be Demanded Following Signing of the $200,000,000 Flood Control Bill Washington, D. C.—Prospect of a new channel opening up for the absorption of the vast army of idle colored workers in the country at the present time was reported highly favorable by government authorities here recently. This announcement was made following the action of President Calvin Coolidge in signing the flood control bill calling for $30,000,000 at once for immediate flood control work. As an immediate result of the signing of the bill, it was said that the government labor forces all along the Mississippi river from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to the head of the passes, will be greatly increased. The statement came from the office of Gen. Edward Jadwin, chief of army engineers. The demand for common labor will steadily increase and will reach its peak in the coming fall, it was said, immediate work depending upon the supply of money available for steaming ahead. Indications are that $30,000,000 will be allowed for expenditures this year, $40,000,000 or $50,000,000 next year and $60,000,000 the third year. LAST RITES HELD FOR MRS. L.

GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 668 raskan RELIC OF DE SOTO AND HIS SOLDIERS HINTS AT TRAGEDY Remnant of Rusty Sword Unearthed in Northern Georgia Recalls Exploit of Famous Spaniard DISCOVERED MISSISSIPPI RIVER Negro Soldiers Members of Troop. Disappointed in Dreams of Fabulous Wealth De Soto Dies Washington, D. C.—Part of a rusty sword dug up in northern Georgia is believed to have been lost by the expedition of Hernando De Soto and his Negro and Spanish soldiers nearly 400 years ago. In giving an account of the expedition whose greatest accomplishment was the discovery of the Mississippi river, the National Geographical society records state that De Soto and his brave followers thought that the present southern states of the United States constituted a land of superlatively rich Incas and planned to loot their "temples" and "palaces" of gold and precious stones. De Soto's party, including foot soldiers, cavalry and servants backed by King Charles V of Spain, left Havana, Cuba, in May, 1539, and is believed to have landed on what is now Tampa Bay, Florida. When De Soto, advised by his Negro lieutenants had wandered over what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, killing thousands of Indian agriculturists and hunters, finding only towns of huts and wigwams, and losing hundreds of men and scores of horses, the realization came that there was nothing in the region worth "conquering." In 1540 they went into the northern part of the present state of Georgia, still fighting and oppressing Indians, and still believing that gold lay just ahead. The wanderings turned westward and southward to the vicinity of Mobile. The following winter was spent in the Yazoo valley in what is now Mississippi. Soon after camp was brokin in 1541, the westward pushing wanderers came upon the "Great River" as they named it. Paintings have represented this as something of a gala occasion, with De Soto taking possession of the stream in shining armor. In reality it was a ragged, unkempt, rusty crew of discouraged men that found its way blocked by the muddy, driftstrewn waters of the lower Mississippi, somewhere south of the present Tennessee line. But this was to be the end of De Soto's wanderings. He sickened, and within a few days died. His body was buried temporarily, and was sunk in the river, which he had discovered, in the early summer of 1542. CRIPPLE GIRL GIVEN $35,000 Jury Returns a Verdict in Favor of Victim of Automobile Crash Ventura, Cal.—A 16-year-old girl, crippled, was awarded $35,000 damages, the largest sum granted in the superior court here in ten years. It took the jury twenty minutes following the closing arguments of the attorneys this morning to find in favor of Eva Grace Mathews, lying on a cot, in which position she has been since August, when the roadster in which she and her two sisters were driving up the Conejo was struck by a laundry truck operated by Raymond Dudley and owned by the National Linen Supply Co., of Los Angeles. It is predicted that the girl will spend the rest of her life on the cot, her lower limbs having been paralyzed through the severing of her spinal cord. The Mathews family are from Bakersfield. The Woman's Auxiliary of St. Philip's church was very delightfully entertained with a social meeting at the residence of Mrs. Otis Shipman, 2724 North Thirtieth street, last Thursday afternoon. --- THE MAIL A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED OF COLORE PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT MONITOR PUBLI Entered as Second-Class Mail Master, Nebraska, under the THE REV.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man "GOOD TIME" PEOPLE We are inclined to believe that as a race we have a disproportionate number of people who do not regard life and its responsibilities with the seriousness it deserves. Are there not many of us who, like Nero, fiddle gleefully while Rome burns? With limitations, denial of privileges, segregation and like discriminations hedging us about, do we not fritter away much of our time in frivolous amusements, if not indeed, questionable companionships and enervating and demoralizing pastimes, and dissipate our earnings for things that profit us little, if at all? Ought not some of this misspent time and money be turned towards improving our social and economic status? What do we gain by being what some boast of being "good time people"? This does not mean people who make "good time," in going to work, or in improving themselves physically, morally, or intellectually, or in acquiring homes, business or property, but in having what they consider a "good time," in any manner their selfish desires may demand, be the consequences what they may. We believe in wholesome enjoyment for all people and that the normal human life is to be a joyful life. We want people to have a good time. But there is quite a difference between people having a good time and "good time" people. We are not growing pessimistic, but more observant, and our observation leads us to the opinion that as a race we have a disproportionate number of "good time' people. We may be mistaken. What do you think about it in the light of social and economic conditions which we have to face? A GOOD MOVEMENT The Ministerial Alliance of Omaha has rendered excellent service in trying to arouse our people to a sense of their responsibility in giving generous support to business ventures and enterprises conducted by our people. It has been thought, with some justification too, that the Negro ministry, speaking broadly, has overstressed "getting ready to die," rather than learning how to live; that their vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem, where the streets are paved with gold and milk and honey flow, has caused them to be oblivious to the muddy and unpaved streets and unsanitary surroundings in which they and many of their flocks have been compelled to live in the cities where they now dwell. Other-worldliness obscured present - worldliness. However true this may have been in the past, we are confident that there has been a gradual awakening during recent years to the need of giving heed to economic and in- --- PAGE TWO dustrial conditions here and the local movement of fostering a special "Negro Trade Week" as part of a sadly needed educational program is indicative of this. The Ministerial Alliance is to be congratulated upon taking this progressive step. The campaign must continue until we are educated into giving better support and encouragement to deserving business ventures by our people. Economic prosperity will raise our status and help the entire community. BOOTLEGGING There is an old proverb which runs "Wherever there's honey, there's bees." Wherever you see drunken men and women, white and black, staggering along the street in the same locality daily and nightly, that is a pretty good indication that there is booze somewhere in that vicinity. In certain neighborhoods, some of them containing dilipated shacks, and others where there are attractive and well-kept residences, sights of drunken people, in this "dry town" are not uncommon. And yet it is said it is difficult to find bootlegging joints. Schools will soon be out and the Board of Education will be electing teachers. We wonder if the Board of Education will have a sufficient sense of justice and honor to give some of our well-qualified young women, products of our schools and universities, a place on the teaching corps, or will there continue to be as hitherto, a passing of the buck? WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Teamwork, Not Independence, Is Cue Everybody talks "organization" and then the most of us work on independently. "Co-operate," we advise and then proceed to go it alone trying to be strongly individual. The bigger business gets the more it goes in for co-operation. The more powerful men become the more company they want. Every standard of success recognized today points to teamwork, the ability to work, pull, play and fight together and the strongest groups work on this theory while the weaker minority groups talk independence and individualism. Where can they get, how far ahead can they go in a world of co-operation? Here's the thought in pithy verse by Berton Brailey, calling upon the dairy men of California to "CO- OPERATE": When the prehistoric caveman lived and struggled long ago, He was strong for independence as he wandered to and fro. If he had a neighbor handy, he would tear him limb from limb, And the thought of social meetings never much appealed to him; Till one day a wiser caveman—sort of prophet, priest and scribe—Pointed to the signal merits of as- TEACHERS THE MONITOR "Let us work and fight as brothers, with our strength combined," he said, "For we've got to get together if we want to get ahead." Well, brothers, are we as wise as the caveman of long ago? Time for us to do more teamwork, "if we want to get ahead." — New Age Dispatch, Los Angeles. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The religious and general education committee, with Mrs. Hiram Greenfield, chairman, will have charge of vesper services, Sunday, May 27, at North Side Branch Y. W. C. A., at 4 p. m. This will be the closing service for the summer vacation period of this committee. The program will be the bringing together of interracial groups of welfare workers, who will give valuable reports from the recent conventions held at Sacramento, Cal., and Memphis, Tenn. A large attendance is urged to learn of the remarkable growth of colored social work throughout the country. The two races as workers in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in order that we might unite under a Christian standard of successful leadership, to the ultimate end of a better understanding of our relationship towards each other. We urge that everyone attend this service on Sunday. Miss Ruth O. Collins, our acting executive secretary, will give a detailed report of the convention at Sacramento, to which she was a delegate from the North Side Branch. Among other speakers will be Miss Helen Gauss of the South Side Social Settlement; Mr. John Hall, executive secretary of the Community Chest, who will give short reports of colored work carried on through the Council of Social Welfare Agencies that convened at Memphis, Tenn.; Miss Florence McCabe of the Visiting Nurses association; Miss Esther Johnson of the juvenile court; and Mr. Orville Robertson of the Associated Charities. The program is as follows: Devotionals, Mrs. Martha B. Evans; vocal solo, Mrs. A. M. Hilton; report of the convention, Miss Ruth O. Collins, introduced by Mrs. John A. Williams, chairman of committee of management; violin selection, Miss Margaret Dallas; addresses, report on national convention of social workers, Miss Helen Giles, Mr. John Hall, and others, introduced by Mrs. Carrie Ada Campbell, general secretary of the Y.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Approves of Editorials Approves of Editors Omaha, Neb., May 24.—To the Editor of The Monitor: Your editorials of May 18th, and in a previous issue upon the gambling situation among our people in this city is timely. We hope to see your paper as full of letters commending the stand you have taken in this matter, as it was before the primary, and that the Ministers' Alliance, and other citizens of this community will get behind you with their support and put an end to some of these dives. No doubt the impression has been made that we are perfectly satisfied to recognize men who are at the head of these concerns as our leaders, which is an outrage. For this reason our political and economical opportunities are greatly hampered in this city and every effort should be made to change this impression. EXCLUSION FROM JURIES NOW BEFORE SUPREME COURT Washington, D. C.—The question of exclusion of colored American juries empanelled to try members of the race was brought up in the supreme court recently by Louis Marshall, New York lawyer, in seeking a review of the case of Abe Washington, who is under sentence to be hanged in Florida. Marshall contended that the failure to summon colored persons for jury service in Florida violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. A Negro on trial in a southern state should be entitled to members of his own race on the jury that tries him, Marshall stated. Despite the rain the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Philip's church held a well attended meeting at the residence of Mrs. A. D. James, 4421 South Twenty-sixth street, Thursday, May 10. Mr. John G.

AMERICAN LEGION Roosevelt Post No. 30 Short Forty- three Members for 1928 Quota Unofficial reports from Legion headquarters revealed the fact that our progressive post is only 43 members short of their assigned quota for 1928. The above figures are indeed gratifying, inasmuch as they represent effort and sacrifice. Commander E. W. Killingsworth has appointed a special committee of live-wire workers to overcome this deficiency and attain the much coveted goal of over-the-top by June 1. You are severally commanded to assemble at Twenty-fourth and Paul streets, Sunday, May 27, at 10:30 a.m., thence to march to Pleasant Green Baptist church, where Memorial day services will be held. Details of the program will be announced at the next meeting, Friday night, May 25. Commander E. W. Killingsworth motored to Lincoln last Thursday to transact legion business. He visited the various departments at the capitol and was extended every possible courtesy to make his trip a pleasant one. Friends gave a shower on Miss Frances R.

Chicago, Ill. — (ANP)—The proposed union of all Negro Methodists under the name of United Methodist Episcopal Church, which was endorsed at the general conference of the African Methodist Church, which is in session at the Eighth Regiment armory, will meet with the disapproval of the followers of African Methodism, in South Africa and West Indies, according to Benjamin Nuxmalo, one of the delegates from the South African district. Mr. Nuxmalo, who is an African chief and uncle of the king of Swaziland, in a statement following the action of the conference declared: "One of the reasons why the African Methodist Episcopal Church has been able to do such effective work in Africa has been due to the name 'African Methodist.' This designation of the great church aroused the interest of the people and affected their pride. While they, like all Methodists, will welcome the union of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church because they realize the strength which the union will bring out, but I am almost positive that they will resent the omission of the word 'African' from the name of the church—after all, we are all of Africa a origin." The opinion of Mr. Nuxmalo was that of many of the American members of the conference and formed the main point of the opposition to the union. The group favoring the union, which was victorious, was led by Bishop A. J. Carey and Bishop W. A. Fountain, of Alabama. Women Play Prominent Part in A. M. E. Convention $ ^{8} $Chicago, Ill. — Among the many delegates and lay members in attendance at the 28th quadrennial general conference of the A. M. E. Church are to be seen a great body of women who are conspicuous in all proceedings of the general officers. Many are acting as delegates and are to be observed upon the speaker's platform at every session and others as members of the various committees and several are serving as alternates to other regular delegates. Amid the hustle and bustle of the great convention their presence lends an atmosphere of sincere friendliness and co-operation within the church. Mrs. L. M. Hughes of Cameron, Texas, connectional president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, is among the foremost women delegates and occupies a conspicuous place on nearly every program. Another is Mrs. Mary F. Handy of Baltimore, Md. She is connectional president of the Woman's Parent Mite Missionary society. Mrs. P. Erylene Osborne of Kansas City, theational instructor of hair and beauty culture of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. is the associate editor of the Woman's Missionary Recorder. These prominent women, together with Mrs. Minnie S. Pearson, wife of the president of the Bankers' Fire Insurance company, Mrs. S. G. Simmons, Mrs. W. D. Johnson, Mrs. J. A. Fountain, Mrs. D. L. Chiles, Mrs. E. W. O'Neal, Mrs. Blanche Nottingham, Mrs. R. G. Chappelle, Mrs. J. G. Robinson, Mrs. Esther Isaacs, Mrs. Ida Mae Moten, Mrs. Annie M. Wortham, Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst and Mrs. M. A. Carr form a galaxy of women who make the general convention blaze with feminine charm as well as religious enthusiasm. A. M. E. Church Passes Important Legislation Chicago, Ill.—The second week of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in session here at the Eighth Regiment armory, resulted in the passage of several resolutions and bills of importance. Perhaps the most important of the resolutions adopted was that endorsing the merger of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. This was approved by the general conference following a heated discussion from the floor. Rivalling this ruling was the passage of the bill placing South America and the West Indies in an independent district and with a bishop in charge of this work who will give all his time to that particular district. Other bills which were presented and which will affect materially the affairs of the Church and conferences have not been returned from the revision committee. Among those that are yet in the pigeon-hole is the bill on "limitation of lay delegates." As predicted, this bill did not come out of the committee room with the first batch. Laymen are making a determined fight to gain equal representation. The industrial relations department of the National Urban league of which T. Arnold Hill is director, summarizes employment for April as follows: While unemployment continues to exist, evidences of activity in various parts of the country indicate that conditions are growing better. Public projects which were advocated by the press and social agencies to give employment in the building of roads, repair of streets and construction of public buildings have had little to do with this improvement. The chief factor appeared to be construction of privately owned buildings, work in the farming districts which always comes with spring, building and repair programs of railroads and of course the approach of the automobile industry to its normal level of production. Kansas City, Fort Wayne, Detroit, Philadelphia, Winston-Salem, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are the principal cities that have provided information to substantiate this. Milwaukee made enviable progress in new positions for Negroes during the month of April, for several steel foundries employing large numbers of Negroes have increased production and have called back to work practically all of their old men available. Also two automobile concerns employed drivers to transport new cars from Milwaukee to Chicago. A tanning company added 20 Negro men to its force. A drug store syndicate purchased a chain of stores and colored men were employed when the management took charge of stores that did not previously employ Negroes. A large enterprise manufacturing tubs and kitchen utensils added to their colored force by 40 per cent during the past month. A new theater employed maids, pages and porters, and political activities of Negroes netted them jobs for 20 of their race and resulted in indications that three qualified officers will be placed on the police force. One of the most reliable hotels in Columbus, Ohio, began the use of Negro bell boys last month. Springfield, Ill., reported more women applicants sent to work during the past two months than ever before, while the number of unemployed men remain practically unchanged. The employment by one of the large Pittsburgh coal companies of a colored welfare worker indicates that Negro miners, who during the past year jumped from eight per cent to 40 per cent of the total employees of the company, will remain permanently now that the conditions in the mines are rapidly returning to their normal status. The company has recently pointed to this as proof of its policy to retain Negro workers who came to their rescue during the strike even though the old miners are being re-employed. N. Y. WORLD EDITORIAL COMMENTS ON N.A.A.C.P. LYNCHING FIGURES New York City—The following editorial appeared in the New York World recently, commenting on statistics released yesterday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, showing no lynchings had been reported in the first four months of this year, breaking a 39-year record in the United States. Four Months—No Lynchings It is worth noting that in the first four months of the year, according to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which keeps careful track of such things, there have been no lynchings. In this respect, despite all the Ku Kluckery of the last few years, we do make steady progress. To realize how much progress we have made it is only necessary to compare the totals for 1887-1897 with 1917-1927, 30 years later, as follows: 1887 122 1917 38 1888 176 1918 64 1889 176 1919 83 1890 127 1920 61 1891 192 1921 64 1892 255 1922 57 1893 200 1923 33 1894 190 1924 16 1895 171 1925 17 1896 80 1926 30 1897 122 1927 16 The time will come, obviously, and come very soon, when there will be no lynchings in the United States, and this barbarous practice will take its place with the persecution of the witches as a historical curiosity.

Y.—A $2,000,000 trust fund for disabled former service men is to be raised by a committee of business men who have appointed Col. Theodore Roosevelt as head of the organization committee. The fund will be expended over a period of ten years by the disabled American veterans of the world war to assist the disabled in preparation and presentation of their cases to the veterans' bureau and assist them in obtaining disability compensation, insurance reinstatement and other rights. General Frank T. Hines, director of the veterans' bureau, told the meeting that although nearly 357,000 disabled veterans already had been granted compensation, the number of disability cases was steadily growing and that the peak of mental and nervous cases would not be reached until 1949. 24th and Patrick Ave. Corn Meal, white, 2 sacks for.....25c Spare Ribs. lb.....121/2c Bacon, sugar cured, per lb.....171/2c Oleomargarine, lb.....161/2c The New Era Baptist association and convention convenes at Salem Baptist church, Omaha, June 4 to 10, 1928. All pastors and churhes take notice. Miss Frances R. Black of this city, and Mr. James Cole of Omaha, were quietly married Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride. The Rev. H. W. Botts officiated. The couple left for Omaha Sunday night, their future home. Miss Cleo E. Ross, who graduates from the state university of fine arts, this year, gave a song recital at the First Christian church last Thursday night to a capacity crowd. Miss Ross showed by her ability that she had been well trained, as she sang in a well rounded tone that was pleasing to her hearers. She is an accomplished pianist and pipe organist. Miss Ross well deserves the commendation of the state university and our entire group. Mrs. Katherine Moore was re-elected president of Mary B. Talbott club; Mrs. Ollie Ray, secretary, at a recent meeting. A quartet from Mount Zion Baptist church, comprising Mrs. Jennie Riley, Miss Evelyn Johnson, Messrs. Harrison, R. Miller and John Beard, Mrs. Nettie McDonald at the piano, sang at the white Baptist church at Twenty-seventh and Holdrege streets Sunday night and were accorded much applause. Services were nicely attended at Mount Zion Sunday during the day, and much interest was manifested by those attending. The Isis club held a memorial at the hall Sunday afternoon, which was fairly attended. W. G. Morgan, Attorney at Law NOTICE To Howard B.
