NO. 13 Hundreds of Police Called Out White's Army Masses Against Blacks in Flat War (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, June 24.—A race war, threatening for weeks, assumed sinister proportions on Chicago's South Side last night, when 200 extra police were rushed to the Washington Park district. One negro is dead; another was said to be dying last night. Both were victims of a small army of white men who early yesterday set out with the avowed intention of "cleaning out the blacks." Plan Night Battle Information was generally distributed among both whites and negroes that a big fight was to be waged some time during the night in Washington park. Police of the South park board, 200 strong, were rushed to the park and kept an all night vigil. Several hundred reserves were ordered on duty at the Englewood, Fiftieth street, New City and Stock Yards stations. A special police guard was established at Kenny's undertaking establishment, 5483 S. Halsted St., where the body of the slain Negro was held. Negro Stabbed and Shot The Negro killed was Robert Robinson, 514 W. 54th place. Robinson was simply walking to his home. There had been no fight or disturbance. A gang of savage hoodlums attacked him. He had been shot several times, stabbed repeatedly in the back and beaten over the head with billiard cues. The murder occurred shortly after Saturday midnight, at 55th street and Princeton avenue. Ollis Harris, 5647 Grove avenue, is the negro said to be dying. He was shot through the stomach, stabbed and beaten at 57th street and Lafayette avenue. Both blacks were attacked by the same mob. Persons questioned by a police say the whites numbered 150 men. Lieut. Fred Guerney of the Stockyards station and a squad had arrested about two score of suspects yesterday, but only eleven were being held last night. Lieut. Guerney refused to give the names of the men held, because, he explained, negroes might obtain ven- LIBERIA MAY SAVE WORLD FROM CHOAS SAYS NOTED STATESMAN LIBERIA MAY SAVE WORLD FROM CHOAS SAYS NOTED STATESMAN (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 23.—"Africa and only Africa, will be important in the worlds politics for the next ten years," says Dr. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago, anthropologist, traveler and lecturer. "Africa may cost what is left of Europe, for Europe has neither the men nor the money to maintain dominion over Africa. "Europe is sending back to Africa tens of thousands of black men who have been trained to face white men under arms. These black men, who have been denied arms in the past, can manufacture their own weapons in the future. "Liberia is the only hope of Africa. Liberia may save the world from chaos. It is the greatest marvel of the nineteenth century, and I mean to make my exhibit of Liberia and Congo Free State so vivid and so real that it will impress these facts on all who come to the Methodist centenary celebration in Columbus, June 20 to July 13. Dr. Starr has postponed what will be his ninth trip to Japan in order to be present and supervise the display of his curios at the centenary celebration. "Liberia," says Dr. Starr, "represents the largest thing the black man geance by attacking the homes of those held. Won't Discriminate—Alcock "The situation is most serious," First Deputy of Police Alcock said last night. "We had better meet it now than later. I have instructed the precinct commanding officers to see that their men do their duty. Their will be no discrimination." Battle Pre-arranged Yesterday morning's excitement appeared to have been pre-arranged. At 12:30 a. m., the Stock Yards station received a telephone call that a white mob was "out to kill all the blacks." A small squad of police was rushed out, but failed to 'connect with the gangsters. Knives, razors, blunted cues, clubs and several revolvers were picked up along the trail taken by the whites. Yesterday's developments convinced police, city officials and others who have studied the racial problem that Chicago must deal with one of the most difficult situations in its history. The actual conflicts between whites and negroes come, it is pointed out, as to be expected climaxes to the series of bomb outrages perpetrated on the South Side in the last few months. None of those who yesterday discussed the matter believed any policy of Negro residence segregation would offer solution. Julius Rosenwald, who has given much time and money toward the development of the Negro people, said: "This racial problem in Chicago has been left too long awaiting solution. The newspapers can perform a big service by bringing the public to a realization of the seriousness of the problem. "I have no panacea. This question is too big to be solved with an off hand word. It is our duty to begin studying it at once, for the situation is critical. "Of one thing I fell certain—any policy of attempted segregation is out of the question." Our own leaders are inclined to blame the rough element among the recent immigrants from the South for the increasing evidences of friction as well as the tough whites who are encouraged by the sensational daily newspapers. Movements are on foot among leading white and colored organizations to get together in an effort to cope with the situation. has ever accomplished. It is at present represented before the peace commission of Europe, with plans that territory unjustly taken from it by France and England may be restored. "Liberia represents the only expression of self-government in Africa, and I am not speaking as a radical when I say that this is the only hope of the continent. "Egypt is in a foment. Morocco is held by force of arms. That which was German Africa will not be content under mandatory of any other national. Leading French and English military and civil authorities have often said, by word and in writing, that with any considerable evidence of disorder their African possessions cannot be held by the number of men and the amount of money they can afford to spend on them." NO CAUSE FOR ALARM (By Associated Negro Press) Vicksburg, Miss., June 23.—Officials here have received many threats that the negroes of this section intended to start riots here to kill white people in retaliation for the lynching and burning of a Negro here recently. Much uneasiness has been caused, though officials apprehend no trouble. No chances have been taken, though, for with big crowds here, the police force has been doubled, deputies are on duty, no fire arms are being sold, the cross river saloons are closed and the jail has been converted into an arsenal. People will not forget the old adage: "A man may be judged by the company he keeps." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY The Educator Calls Attention to Early Civilization of Black Kingdoms and Urged a Study of Their History. The sphinx of Egypt is fashioned with the flat nose and the mouth of the black man. No one knows when it was carved from the rock, or when early nation or artists fashioned it am proud that I am a black man, and every black man should be proud of his race. . . We need more knowledge of our history.—Col. Chas. Young U. S. A., to the graduates of the Western university at Quindaro. KANSAS CITY, Kans., June 24.—Speaking to four thousand Negroes who attended the annual commencement exercises of the Western university here Thursday, June 5, Col. Chas Young, U. S. A., who has attained the highest position in the American army ever held by a Negro, appealed to his race to be proud of their color. Colonel Young, who also is one of the leading Negro educators of the country, was graduated from West Point in 1889. He served as an officer in the American army in Cuba in the Spanish-American war, in Mexico, in Hayti, and as a military attache in Liberia. He retired as commanding officer of the Tenth cavalry and later took up active service at Camp Grant, Ill., where he is now stationed. Sould Quit Hating White Race. In urging his people to be proud of their race, Colonel Young appealed to them to quit hating the white race. "If you want the freedom that President Wilson has asked for the world, and I take it that he means freedom for both white and black, you have got to get back to God, and realize that there is a divine consciousness in the world," Colonel Young said. "The black people have gone to hating, and that gets you nowhere. Love Christianity, gentleness, kindness and courtliness get us everywhere. How many here can give several good reasons why they are proud of the black race? A sprinkling of hands went up in the audience. "I am proud God made me black," said Colonel Young. "I am proud that I belong to a race that has solved problems in Africa that we are strugging with it in America today. In Africa, among the black nations, there is no poverty, no prostitution; no ill harmony among the peoples. The missionaries who went there to save the black people found the black people were saving themselves and that many others did not need saving. I am proud that I am of a race that has a higher sympathy for its fellow man and which has a more beautiful disposition and a more appreciative view of art, literature, and culture, in spite of its poverty. Civilized Long Before 1861. "Contrary to the stated belief, the black man was not freed fifty years ago in America, a savage. We were a civilized people under the highest laws of men when we came over here, and we were a civilized people when we were freed. Had we not been, we could not have taken the white man's language, religion, customs and habits—good and bad—and progressed as we have. I am proud of that achievement. "Beginning back in ancient history, the black people had kingdoms and civilization. The sphinx of Egypt is fashioned with a flat nose and the mouth of a black man. No one knows when it was carved from the rock or what early nation of artists fashioned it. I am proud that I am a black man. When it comes to statesmanship and ability, you will find plenty of it among the black men. "You had better get out your good black clothes that the good God made you in and stay with the genius of the black man he has given us. We need more knowledge of the history and accomplishment of our race." Twenty-five members of the graduation class were given diplomas. An entertainment of music and speaking was given, in which three students delivered orations of their own composition. A parade of the Lincoln High School band and cadets preceded the ceremonies. PHOEN!X.,ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1919 GLURIBUS UNUM DR. R. R. MOTORURGES RACE TO WORK SIX DAYS IN EVERY WEEK DR. R. R. MOTORURGES RACE TO WORK SIX DAYS IN EVERY WEEK (By Associated Negro Press) Raleigh, N. C., June 23—Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, is organizing the Race in the South into an association which pledges itself to work on Saturday afternoons as on other days. In 1918 the Race in Alabama, it is alleged, made $26,000,000 as the result of their decision not to use Saturday afternoon as a holiday. Three hundred thousand men of the Race are organized by pledge to work six full days through 1919. Dr. Moton declared in an address here that much of the crime of the Race, 75 per cent of it, is due to the Saturday afternoon holiday and the Sunday morning drunk. MISSISSIPPI BLACKS DRAW LINE ON WHITE INSURANCE COMPANY VICKSBURG, Miss., June 24.—Because of the lynching at Vicksburg of a colored man, by white citizens of this city and county, thousands of Negroes are leaving Mississippi, and many prominent families are selling their homes at a great sacrifice, and the most interesting feature of the exodus on this occasion is that the people are not going to northern or eastern sections, but they are going to other States in the South, where they are given better protection at the hands of the law. Business owned and controlled by white people are suffering more from this incident than any other lynching or cruelly practiced on colored people during the history of the State, and especially as it regards Mississippi's wholesale lynching. A white insurance company at Vicksburg has suffered great losses in the past week because it is stated that a white insurance collector was in the mob, and during the excitement lost his insurance book, and it was found some days afterwards by a colored man who knew the agent and exposed the condition. The policies are not being transferred, but the people are so bitter against the company until they are burning up the policies in the broad open day time on front porches and everywhere that makes conditions very exciting. Several telegrams have been sent to large cities and special canvassers have been to Birmingham colecting Negro men to go to Vicksburg to write Negro people in the Negro Insurance Company, as there are not enough men and writers to take hold of the business, as is reported by the colored insurance companies. It is stated that no argument that the officials of white companies can make as to the merits of their contract, and what they have done for the colored people in past years, has any effect upon the colored people, while they feel friendly to certain agents of the white companies, there is an apparent tendency to avenge themselves by disconnecting as far as possible with any business whose agent or agents participated in the lynching of the colored man here several days ago. Every Problem Which Affects Black and White Races to be Discussed Practically every problem affecting the relations of Negro and white races in the United States is to be discussed at the tenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Cleveland from June 21 to June 28. Delegates from 28 states and 63 cities representing more than 100,000 colored people have signified their intention of being present. Negro labor and the Negro migration from South to North, education and Jim Crowism in the South are among the subjects for discussion as is that of the Negro and the vote. A TRIBUNE NEW AWAKENING FOR JUSTICE IN BEHALF OF BLACK AMERICANS (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 23.—A careful survey, covering the entire nation, has disclosed to the Associated Negro Press the fact that there is a new awakening for justice in behalf of the people of our racial group. In speaking of this change of sentiment, the outrages of various sorts are not overlooked. It is a fact, however, that there has been more written and spoken truth, in the last six months relative to the injustices heaped upon us, than has ever become occurree since slavery was abolished. The expression quoted herewith, from the Pittsburgh Chronicle is typical rather than exceptional, so far as the newspapers are concerned. For some reason, the editorial writers seem to have "struck their gait," on the subject of fair play, and are going at the hypocracies in a fashion that should bring good cheer to any people. Speaking with reference to the denial of rights, in the light of the conspicuous attitude of the Peace Conference, the Chronicle says: "These American citizens are not merely denied their political rights; they are'denied that "protection of life without distinction based on race, color or previous condition" to which they are entitled by ordinary considerations of humanity, as well as by specific provision in the Constitution of the United States. In effect they are calling attention to the humiliating fact that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution are virtually dead letters. They have heard that the proposed League of Nations is to insure justice to all the peoples of the earth, and they want their share. Our Negro citizens are not to be blamed for their appeal to what they suppose to be an all-powerful, superreference to their own particular problems and injustices. But how humiliating it must be to our delegates at Paris to hear a body of their fellow citizens appealing to the League of Nations for relief from cruelty and oppression. They can scarcely escape the conviction that reform, like charity, should begin at home and that a splendid start could be made by safeguarding the life and liberties of our host of Negro citizens of the southern states." number of delegates are coming from the rural districts of the South to tell of labor and living conditions there. Among the speakers at the conference will be Charles F. Thwing, president of Western Reserve University; Major J. E. Spingarn, Dr. George Haynes, director of the Bureau of Negro Economics of the Department of Labor; John Luthringer of the Cleveland Federation of Labor; W. H. Phillips, Mayor of Oberlin and R. E. T. Bosworth, acting president of Oberlin college; Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation; Leo M. Favrot, supervisor of rural schools of the state of Louisiana; Emmett J. Scott, acting assistant secretary of war and Bishop John Hurst. A feature of the conference will be the presentation of the Spingarn medal, awarded each year to the American of African descent who, in the opinion of the committee of award, has made "the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor." The conference, which is to be welcomed by Mayor Harry L. Davis of Cleveland, is to end with a monster mass meeting of protest against the crimes of lynching. Hampton, Va.—"Uncle" Jesse Hightower, an aged and respected negro, died at the home of his grandson, "Uncle" Jesse was 112 years old, and was a familiar figure, peddling brushrooms in the community. He was born in North Carolina, but spent most of his life in Upsin, Pike and Henry counties. He is the last surviving member of his family. Grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren survive him. ·NORFOLK, Va., June 24.—With a paid up capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars and a deposit of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, representing money of some of the leading members of the race in Virginia, North Carolina, District of Columbia and Maryland, the Tidewater Bank and Trust company was launched this morning at its own building, 738 Church street. It is a modern bank building and erected by the company. The movement to organize a Negro bank and Trust company was started last summer, the maximum capital fixed at $250,000. It was headed by a group of young business men: P. B. Young, C. C. Dogan, Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, M. R. Jackson, Edward Irby, H. C. Young, of Norfolk; J. S. Jones, Levi C. Brown, Thomas W. Newbie and other prominent business men of Portsmouth. Rapid has been the growth of the organization, until it is now a reality with a modern bank building and the people taking hold. The building was opened for inspection Saturday and several thousand people passed through it during the day. It is to be a day and night bank. The opening brought many prominent men and women to the city. Every collored bank in the state was represented, and some from other states. One of the prominent visitors was Mrs. Maggie W. Walker, of the St. Luke bank, and the only race woman at the head of a bank. She said some helpful things to the bank promoters and the people. The officers of the bank are P. B. Young, president; G. Hamilton Francis, K. D., Levi C. Brown, M. R. Jackson, vice-presidents; J. S. Jones, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Young is president of the Guide Publishing Company, and editor of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk. J. S. Jones is a well trained young business man. He spent a number of years in the navy. He is a hard worker. He leaves the position of cashier of the Mutual Savings bank to go to Norfolk. Edward Baker, a well trained man from the Mechanics Bank, Riechmond, is teller; Julian S. Hughson is bookkeeper Miss Ethel Reddick, as clerk in the savings department; G. W. C. Brown assistant secretary. Strong men and women are on the Board of Directors. Pasadena Woman Believes Meekness Will Solve Race Problem I notice in every Race paper that our people are fighting for opportunity to live in America as do other citizens. Honestly I believe the black man has gotten farther away from God in the past 50 years and is being punished for his disobedience. Since the yoke of bondage was lifted from the black man, he has stopped to play instead of praying and God has permitted his enemies to triumph over him. There is nothing that will bring about absolute harmony and peace between the black and white races except the love of Jesus Christ. We, as Ethiopians, have forgotten God and are attempting to fight our battles in our own strength. Such fighting will avail us nothing. We must let Jesus fight for us, and then we shall conquer. "Ask" and it shall be given."—Math. 7:7. We are living in the days of revelations and have no time to seek honors and pleasures, but should seek Jesus' only, and He will guide us safely through the conflict. The worst is yet to come. Why he ye at ease in Zion? Read Amos 6:1: "Therefore, let us not sleep." I Thes. 4:6. "But as the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the son of man be." Mat. 25:37. We should pray for those who despitefully use us, remembering that: "God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord; I will repay." —Mrs. Cecilia B.

Taft) "Racial prejudice is a fact which cannot be gotten out of the way by merely pointing out its injustice. It must be worn away by the logic of events, by education, by stimulation of the moral sense, and by the enlightened selfishness. Frontal attacks on it by argument rarely, if ever succeed. On the other hand, its dying embers may be easily blown into a flame again by evil-minded agitators or blind extremists. Held as Inferiors in War. "The war, which the Negroes eagerly accepted as an opportunity with which to demonstrate their patriotic citizenship and their right to equality of treatment, has not proved to be as useful in this regard as they hoped. Circumstantial accounts of the ill-advised efforts of American white officers, with greater or less authority, to create among our allies a sense of the inferiority of the Negro soldier and officer that must be maintained in American military circles, have made the Negro soldiers feel that they were not permitted even to die on equal terms with white soldiers. Their feeling is intensified by the complete lack of race prejudice they found among the French against the Negro, whether French or American. Realize Peril of Violence. "The second class of Negro leaders are far wiser than the first. They are conscious that the return to civil life of 300,000 or 400,000 Negro soldiers, even though afame with indignation and sense of injustice and ingratitude, can, if it results in ebulitions of violence only lead ultimately to worse things for the Colored race and involve in an outburst among the whites of racial prejudice and fear, forcible measures of resistance, causing injury to many innocent and unoffending members of the Colored race. "They are wise enough and noble enough and self-restrained enough clearly to see that the way to ameliorate conditions is not by direct frontal attacks of resentment or revenge, but by the education of their people and a stimulation of them to greater industry and economic success, so that it shall be the enlightened selfish policy of the controllers of public opinion in the south to welcome the industrial development of the race for the benefit of the whole south, white and black." COLORED WOMAN LOST 3 SOLDIER HUSBANDS IN LATE WORLD CONFLICT Each Left Her $10,000 Policy and Sh Will Get $172.50 a Month For 20 Years. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—The War Risk Bureau has given out the information that one Colored woman who married three soldiers who died and left her a $10,000 insurance policy each. The woman was a Mrs Jones, when her first husband was drafted into the army, where he soon died of meningitis. She then married a soldier by the name of Smith who was killed in action. Her third husb band, Jackson, died since the armis tice, from influenza. As each had taken out the maximum policy, Mrs Jones-Smith-Jackson will draw $57.50 a month from each, or $172.50 a month for the next 20 years. Her address was not given out.

Sarah J. Walker, the former St. Louis Negro washerwoman, who died Sunday after having built up a fortune of $1,000,000 as a business woman, is a striking lesson in opportunity as it exists in America. The woman was a child of a slave. She had no advantages in life. But she recognized the value of the opportunity of freedom and she used it. She began in a small way with an attic for a workshop, and she built a great business. The most striking fact in her life is that she won success through hard work and faith. She did not trust to luck. The story of this Negro woman's success should prove beyond all dispute that opportunity in America is unlimited. The world is filled with grumblers whose sole complaint and excuse for failure is that the "breaks" are always against them. Most people born of slave parents and washing at a tub for a meagre livelihood would be likely to consider the breaks of fortune against them. But success does not enter where it is not invited.

The practice of laying aside regularly a certain amount of money from earnings before the balance is even touched, is advocated by the Savings Division of the U. S. treasury department as the most intelligent and surest way of acquiring a personal fund with which to purchase real freedom. Freedom in relation to thrift, it is pointed out, is the liberation of the individual from the restrains imposed by the lack of financial resources. The freedom to go and do what one pleases, as long as he is not interfering with the rights of his neighbor, only becomes actually possible when one has enough money in reserve to carry own plans. Freedom from debt, for instance—freedom to own a home, freedom to obtain special education, freedom to travel and improve one's position, freedom from worry about old age, etc., are achievable through the power of thrift. Determination of the proportion of income to be saved rests with the individual and should not neglect present needs. Once the decision is made, faithful adherence to it will assure the accumulation of a worth-while reserve fund in a surprisingly short time. Wise buying and strict avoidance of waste are highly important. They enable the individual to get the most out of his money and increase the amount available for safe investment. Briefly, says the Savings Division, thrift means power. Every time a sum of money is laid aside for safe investment a little block of freedom is obtained.

The following letter is the department's plan and object: "It is the desire of the department of labor to stimulate business by suggesting to present advertisers that they increase their space, and to prospective advertisers that they bring their plans to a head and start advertising immediately. "The surest and quickest way to bring business to its pre-war basis is to overcome the general apathy to buying which exists in the minds of many people at present. Advertising will do this. "We would like to see more retail advertising and more national advertising, and we believe the press of the country and yourselves will appreciate the fosterings of such a movement by the department of labor."

A Close Call Thursday night, June 19th, Mr. Bert Trice, 1334 East Jefferson street, experienced a very close call when the mattress and other bed clothing in his room caught fire and burned all around him. He was awakened by the landlady and others who saw smoke coming from his room and heard no one making an effort to put out the fire or call the department. On entering the room they found Mr. Trice fast asleep and the bed clothing burning dangerously near him. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Trice didn't become frightened until he was aroused from his deep slumber and saw the fire all around him. They were compelled to hold him in order to prevent him from running into the street half clad. A lighted cigarette butt lying on the edge of the bed, told the story of how the fire originated. The fire was extinguished and an examination of the room showed that no damage had been done other than a ruined mattress and comfort. Hereafter, Mr. Trice vows that he will not lay his cigarette down until it refuses to "draw."

Incidentally, they returned to Ray bringing photographs of three of the most prominent young men in that city. It's a great world if you don't weaken. MESA By S. L. Daniels Rev. and Mrs. Wimberly and Mrs. Jas. Henderson and a party of friends motored over from Phoenix last Thursday.

INVESTOR: Do you want to get into the real safe, permanent dividend-paying end of the oil industry? THE GORMAN HOME REFINERY is what you are looking for. It is being financed and built by the leading citizens of Gorman, Texas, right IN THE HEART OF THE GORMAN-DESDEMONA FIELD. They own twenty acres and are building a refinery with a capacity of 3000 barrels daily. They are constructing a pipe line eight miles into the center of the big gusher field. They now have a YEAR'S CONTRACT FOR 5000 BARRELS DAILY OF CRUDE OIL. This refinery is being built to pay dividends to its stockholders. Capitalization, $375,000. No promotion stock. No preferred stock. A successful independent refinery must be located in the midst of independent oil producers. Situated as this refinery is in the heart of independent production its dividends will be big and lasting. The investor in the Gorman Home Refinery need have no fear of a dry hole. FEW GOOD REFINERIES PAY LESS THAN 100 PER CENT and many pay as much as 800 per cent. The following table is a conservative estimate of the profits of a 3000-barrel refinery: 3000 barrels crude oil—present market price of crude, $2.25; collection and transportation 12c; $.37 per bbl....$7,110.00 Labor ..... 235.00 Salaries and all office expense ..... 125.00 Insurance ..... 309.00 Fuel and lights ..... 175.00 Extras and incidentals ..... 243.00 I own a limited number of shares of this stock which I will sell at par value, $25 per share, fully paid and non-assessable. Can make immediate delivery. This is an honest-to-goodness money-making proposition. COME AND INVESTIGATE. F. W. MALCOLM AJO FLAGSTAFF The colored boys of Flagstaff have organized an orchestra.

IRISH QUESTION AND NEGRO QUESTION SIMILAR Se ee ee cee eens, New York, June 23.—The bringing of the “Irish Question” into the Peace Conference, has caused the American delegaies no end of embarrassment because that question has been re- garded as strictly domestic. It has been argued by many different people that if the Irish be permitted to air their grievances before the confer: ence, the Negroes of America have the same right, and many of the delegates from various nations have taken that stand. ' Concerning the logic of it, the New York Sun, daily, says: “Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite, the Negro question ts loaded with TNT, Outside of Iretana nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's. rule in that island, and in: side of Ireland a good many persohe do not question ity legality, ‘however much they object to it as a. polities| fact. But inside the United states and outside of the United States, ev- ebody knows that the political con: dition imposed upon the Negro in the South is brutally, openly and comptete: ly iMegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and ins violation of the Constitution is toieratéd with the full knowledge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country, North and South. . .

AFRICA Africa, “the land of darkness,” Is slowly, but surely, becoming the con- tinent of light, Afriea, endowed by nature with ficher gifts than any other continent of the world, is sway: ing the politics of the nations of the earth, for one reason and another. Civilization has reached its highest pinnacle in Africa, and in some sec- tions of it one may be lead to believe i civilization has reached@its low: est ebb. | Nevertheless, Africa ‘2 grand and slorious in promise, and no less 2 person than Dr, Frederick Starr of [ihe University of Chicago has recent jy said so publicly. ‘There are a great many people of our group who sneer at the thought thet their forebears came from the continent of Afriex. Others inquire: “What have I to’ do with Africa? | live in America,” ‘There should be a cessation of that kind of talk about the African continent, ‘That kind of talk is a true sign of ignorance-- ignorance of history, conditions and human duty.

LABOR Keen to observe the “handwriting ‘on the wali”, the American Federation of Labor has turned a somersault of attitude on the Race conditions of America that may be regarded as one of the most significant exhibitions witnessed in many years. Labor has voted, practically, unanimously, to ad mit the Colored Laborers on “terms of equality.” iy Labor has geen that the Colores people of the country are fast falling jinto economie power, and without sup port from tifis side much progress will ibe lacking. Of couvse it will remain for the individual organization “hac home” to put the decree of the con vention into effect. Scores and secre: of delegates publicly told of their lo cals already admitting members oi the Race. ‘There is a growing senti ment in favor of giving fair play tc the Colored man, as little as it maj seem at times, and the move by labo will have unquestioned effect on maxi other avenues of progress. CHARGE RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION WITH RACE DISCRIMINATION NEW YORK, June 23.—A charge of racé discrimination against the United States Railroad Administration is con- tained in a letter sent to Walker D, Hines, director general, by the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored people.

Niles of your office forwarded us a copy of a letter sent to Senator Warren C, Harding in this connection. ‘The position which the Railway Ad- ministration has taken is in effect an affirmation of the ruling originally put forth by the southern railways to hin: der the movement of colored labor from the south to the north.
