PHOENIX TRIBUNE $300,000 Hotel Erected By Colored People Of Chicago VOLUME 11. NO. 36 Labor Unions Are Inclined to Fairness Toward Colored Brethren (By Associated Negro Press.) BOGALUSA, La., Dec. 3.—An instance of where the labor unions have shown a willingness to protect their Colored members is shown in the incident which recently occurred in Bogalusa, widely known as one of the hell holes of the South. Three men were killed and several wounded in a battle here today between members of the Loyalty League, composed of former soldiers and other townspeople and several union labor leaders, who were defending the Negro president of a Negro labor union. The dead are: I. F. Williams, president of the local branch of the American Federation of Labor and editor of The Press, a union labor newspaper, and A. Bouchillon and Thomas Gaines, union carpenters. The wounded include: A. J O'Rourke, a leader in union labor circles, mortally wounded, and Jules Leblane, former army captain and member of the Loyalty League. Today's trouble between the Loyalty League, comprising representatives of the Southern Lumber company, builders of Bogalusa and other important interests, on the one hand, and union labor, whose members assert the Great Southern locked out about 2500 employees because they would not "tear up their union cards," on the other, followed last night's action of about 500 armed members of the Loyalty League in holding up a train half a mile from the railroad station and searching it for "undesirables." After a search of the train failed to reveal any one whose presence was unwelcome here, the crowd started out to find Saul Dechus, a Negro labor leader, alleged to have been active recently in trying to stir up ill feeling among his race, but was unsuccessful. This morning, to the surprise of the Loyalty League men, the Negro they sought marched forth from some hiding place and walked boldly down the principal street of the town. On either side of him, however, was an armed white man, one of them, A. J. O'Rourke, a leader in union labor circles, and the other a strong union sympathizer, whose identity has not been ascertained. Sight of the Negro protected by the two white men maddened the Loyalty Leaguers. They claimed the black had been trying to cause race rioting, and did not purpose to permit him to linger here. When called upon to surrender the Negro, the men in the garage refused and firing began. The defiant "agitators" drew first blood, Jules LeBlanc, former army officer, was shot. That only increased the zeal of besiegers, who constantly increased in numbers. When the attackers finally silenced the barricaded forces in the garage, three dead and one fatally injured were found within. The Negro, however, had escaped. Williams, Bouchillon and Galnes apparently had sacrificed their lives in protecting the Negro, and O'Rourke had suffered fatal wounds. The labor officials have filed charges against the members of the Loyalty League, charging them with wearing the uniform of the United States army, contrary to the law. Bogalusa is a lumber town. The Southern lumber interests have been accused of holding Negroes practically in peonage in their lumber camps in this and the Florida districts, and are said from their headquarters in New Orleans and Memphis under the guise of the Mississippi Welfare League to have spent large sums in spreading propaganda throughout the country against the Negro in the hopes of stopping the exodus to the North. It is said that Sutton E. Griggs of Memphis, now lecturing in the North, one of the prominent Negroes in this combination's employ. The same forces recently hired a number of Negroes, including Henry Goines of Chicago, to make a trip of inspection through Mississippi. The delegation reported that Mississippi was a delightful place in which to live and that race relations are most amicable. "For the last time I tell you I will never marry you." "I'm glad it's the last time. I'm getting tired of hearing it, anyhow." —Exchange. South Is Ideal Place For Colored People Says Traitorous Editor (By Associated Negro Press.) TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 3.—One Milton S. Hampton of New Orleans, editor of the Negro Advocate, a race paper which has been attracting the curious interest of our people, arrived here this week to lecture, so he stated, against the spread of Bolshevism among the Negroes. He states that the organization which is backing his paper has a number of lecturers working throughout the country who secure subscriptions for his publication and use the motion picture screen to show that the South is the ideal place for the Negro to live. White Southern dailies have commented freely on Hampton's paper, praising its work and its editorials, in many cases quoting generously from them. The Tampa Daily Tribune says that Hampton is a well-educated Negro and that his magazine is well edited and full of sound advice to his people. Many people here are anxious to know just what forces are behind this gentleman who enjoys the confidence of the South to so great an extent.

Cady, New York secretary of the American Missionary association, delivered the principal address at one of the largest sessions of the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs in the Park church last evening. Dr. Cady's address was on "The Negro, the Acid Test of Democracy," and he told how the Negro was treated in the South and how he was looked down upon by most of the people in this country. Dr. Cady went on and said: "Most of our modern democracy flows from the 'Sermon on the Mount.' Rome didn't care what gods the people served, but she cared for the continuity of Roman society. It is the possession of the special privilege that makes the particular joy to possessors of them. War settles nothing. It unsettles everything. It gives us more problems than we had before. I only hope the kaiser will saw wood for the next 2000 years—an old-fashioned bucksaw—make it as near hell as anything I ever heard of. "What's the use of championing the brother God of the world when the brotherhood of your own country is being trampled upon? Are we a democratic nation? The way a man treats his chauffeur; the way a woman treats her servants, shows whether a person is democratic or not. It is the acid test of American—whether we are going to treat the thousands of black people here on our soil decently. Are we going to give them political rights? A desperate lot of hypocrisy is going on over this. "Do I want my daughter to marry a black man? No! But I don't want her to marry a Turk, or a Jew, an Italian, either; yet for the rights of any race on earth I would fight to the last ditch. "There are lines that should not be passed. Why are there so many mulattos in the South? I tell you the infusion is not from the Negro side; it is from the male, white side. "In the South the blacks dare not vote. The vote ought to be limited to lines of personal fitness. The Negroes of today have no rights in most places where they live." The speaker went on and told about the lynching of Negroes by the whites in the South and other parts of this country in the past few years. He spoke of the horrible race riots in the west and of the splendid record made by the Negro in this war and in the Civil war. Dr. Cady further stated that the black race had never raised a hand against the American flag at any time. Mrs. Helen Gardiner Breathes Her Last; In the death of Mrs. Helen Gardiner at her home, 916 South Seventh avenue, Tuesday evening, shortly after 7 o'clock. Phoenix lost a valuable citizen and the Order of the Eastern Star lost a member whom they have loved for more than thirty years. Mrs. Gardiner came to Phoenix from Iowa thirty-two years ago and has lived here continuously ever since. She joined the church when a girl and had been an active member all these years. She was a Congregationalist, and, finding no church of this denomination among her people in this city, identified herself with the African Methodist Episcopal and remained active until death claimed her for his own. Mrs. Gardiner had been in poor health for a number of years, but was not confined to her home. Tuesday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, she became quite ill and was forced to retire. A physician was called and administered to her, but to no avail, and at 7:15 Tuesday evening she breathed her last. She leaves one child, a son, Mr. Fred Gardiner, who, with his wife, Mrs. Phoebe Gardiner, teacher of the Douglas school kindergarten, were with her at the end. The body was moved to the Merryman undertaking parlors and will lie in state until Friday afternoon, 2 o'clock, when the funeral will be held from the A. M. E. church. The Order of the Eastern Star will have charge of funeral arrangements and interment will be in Greenwood. Chicago Now Boasts Finest Hotel in Country For Colored People (By Associated Negro Press.)

(By Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Dec. 3—In a recent address at South Park Methodist Episcopal church here, Dr. W. W. Lucas, assistant general secretary of the Epworth League, Methodist Episcopal church, declared: "The white people of the South feel that if they would wipe Chicago from the map, the race problem could easily be solved." What has Chicago done; what is Chicago doing, and what is it going to do? The people of Chicago have initiative economic opportunity, political power, commercial advantages, wealth and numbers. With these combinations it is no wonder that it is the most talked of city in America, and yet the opportunities have not all been worked out or even taken advantage of. There is no city in the country where the people of the group are more united than they are in Chicago at this time. What is this unity doing for Chicago? Just a few things will give a general idea of the trend of the times: The Chicago Business League has been organized with a membership of more than 1000 and a budget of more than $10,000 provided to increase in every way commercial efficiency and opportunities; a chain of co-operative grocerv stores has recently been established; a $300,000 hotel, with all modern equipment, has recently been opened; a $100,000 old line life insurance company, "The Liberty," has been incorporated; a state bank, backed by a group of prominent business men, is to be opened the first of the year; the Chicago Defender is soon to enter its own building with a $100,000 equipment; a building and loan association, the Pyramid, has been established; the Associated Negro Press is preparing to increase the force of its service for 1920; a fully equipped moving picture studio has been opened; there will be a candidate for a member of congress; and more than $1,000,000 will be expended next year in building and real estate transfers. These scattered illustrations serve to show the practical working out of the Chicago spirit—"I will"—and probably explains, in part, why some are uneasy about group progress in the Windy city. A. M. E. Zion Church Organized in Phoenix By Rev. W. J. Conquest Rev. W. J. Conquest, who is in the city for the purpose of organizing an A. M. E. Zion church, has succeeded in finding a desirable place to hold meetings.

Conquest is an able speaker and never fails to interest those who hear him.

The nerve of that lonely brother failed him, and he finally, running out, exclaimed, "When Martin comes, tell him I've done been here and gone." The times are changed! We, as a group of American citizens, take the place of the "lonely brother"; the scheming, designing, prejudiced, insistent, inconsistent, unreasonable, steadily growing smaller group of whites represent the various sizes of cats that come into the pathway of our liberty and progress. But we are sitting up with them and waiting for "Martin." Sizes and numbers do not frighten us any more. WE ARE GOING TO STICK AND CARRY ON, CARRY ON!

WE MUST TAKE HEART AND KNOW THAT WE ARE FARTHER ALONG IN LIFE'S PATHWAY THAN YESTERDAY, AND WE MUST CARRY ON, CARRY ON WITHOUT CEASING.—A. N. P. SOCIAL UNREST—CAUSE AND EFFECT It is quite unfair for the students of economic progress to saddle all the cause of "social unrest" among the people of our group on the distribution of propaganda and sedition. As a matter of cold fact, the entire world is topsy-turvy in the matter of social conditions. There has been a universal awakening to the fact that certain so-called "superior" groups have been holding the iron heel of oppression on the heads, feet and hands of many so-called "inferior" groups, and it is now geenrally realized that "superiority" and "inferiority" are merely matters of opportunity and environment. Therefore, the attorney general of the United States, in making a report on radicalism and sedition, as reflected by our publications, has seemed to view the subject entirely from the viewpoint of one who is willing to admit himself "superior" and the 15,000,000 of our group must necessarily be "inferior," with limited and well-defined aspirations. There come to the executive offices of The Associated Negro Press, practically all of the publications of the race. Their editorials, news stories and headlines are carefully scrutinized. It can be truthfully stated that, with but one or two exceptions, while the majority of the publications are now "crying from the housetops," the things that they are crying against, are the things we fought against on the bloody battlefields of France; the things that the publications are demanding are simply the rights and privileges of American citizens. Are we entitled to them? If not, why not? The present unfortunate state of bitterness of so many people against so many of the whites is due to the fact that so many of the whites will not be fair and square in dealing with us. However, we must always be willing to co-operate with those who are willing to be fair, and by the same token, the white people must realize, regardless of the past, we are willing to meet them half way. We are not such terrible terrors; ask the French people, they know.—A. N. P. GOING OUT OF FASHION Some months ago Alabama gave a party of lynchers notice that mob law has been set aside, at least temporarily, in that state. The notice took the form of nearly a score of peritentiary and jail sentences distributed among murderers of a heipless prisoner in a county jail. Later seven white men were convicted at Winston-Salem, N. C., of attempting to lynch a Negro. They carried the case to the supreme court. That body has found their conviction was proper, and they must undergo their punishment. This week Kentucky adopted a constitutional amendment providing for the automatic removal of all officials responsible for the maintenance of law and order in a county where a lynching occurs. An enabling act is required to put it in PAGE TWO 22, 1918, at the Postoffice at Phoenix, Secret of March 3, 1879 Jefferson Street. Phone 1250 A. R.

Other Southern states will soon follow in the footsteps of those that have taken vigorous measures against it and either punish the lynchers or penalize public officials who let them have their way. The law-abiding citizens of every Southern state regard it with horror and detestation, and their influence in the matter will be increasingly felt. It is not merely a grave moral wrong—an outrage aimed at law and order, which endangers all the people, white and black—but it is an economic blunder which injures every community stained by such occurrences.

ALBERT PRESIDENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING STATE OF ARIZONA Executive Dept. A PROCLAMATION In sympathy with the statement issued from Washington by President Wilson and Surgeon Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health Service, I desire to call the attention of the citizens of Arizona to our tuberculosis problem. Over 150,000 persons die annually from tuberculosis. On account of influenza and examinations during war there has been an increase of tuberculosis in particularly every State in the Union during the past year. This is a terrible waste of life when we realize that tuberculosis is preventable. Hundreds of people afflicted with tuberculosis come to this State every year, and humanity demands that we da everything we can to help these sufferers. Every year the National Tuberculosis Association and the various state associations sell RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS to finance this health program. This year a special effort is being made to interest school children and churches, and I wish to call attention to December 5th, 6th and 7th, which have been designated as special days for selling of seals and the preaching of health doctrines in the schools and churches. The services of the Anti-tuberculosis Association in the State were invaluable during the influenza epidemic last year, and I hope that Arizona will respond with characteristic liberality in the purchase of RED CROSS SEALS and in the observance of the days mentioned. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at the Capital, Phoenix, this 28th day of November, 1919.

Frank has named him "Kate," although it isn't that kind of a fox at all. Frank says his name is Kate just the same, and he is going to teach it lots of tricks. We suggest to those who have chickens in the neighborhood that they keep them locked up at night, for there is one trick a fox, like most men, does not need to be taught, and that is going after the "chickens".

Oil Business Same As Other Business When Boiled Down (By A. F. Parker, General Manager) BORDER STATES OIL COMPANY The Public in the past have bought oil stocks madly without investigating the holdings of the company or the personnel of the concern. The oil business, like other kinds of business, came with a boom, but is now settled down and being handled on a more conservative basis. Business men have investigated the oil industry and find that there is a legitimate way of operating and by so doing investors have no trouble in getting returns upon their investments. It will be remembered when Roosevelt Dam was completed, Phoenix and the Salt River Valley was boosted by THIS WEATHER CALLS FOR THE BEST IN HARDWARE PALACE HARDWARE & ARMS COMPANY WHOLESALE—RETAIL Sporting Goods Phoenix, Ariz. a certain element of people far beyond normal value to the sorrow of many buyers, which resulted in activities being held back for a few years and all kinds of property, both city and country going begging, but after eliminating the over enthusiastic or get rich quick element the tide was turned and conditions will be normal and real estate will gradually increase so it is with the oil industry. Even the ordinary layman now are asking where the acreage is located and the number of acres, and who is backing the company, all of which is very important that the investors should know. There is an element of people who entered the oil business for promotion purposes and luckily made good, that will now tell you that money can actually be made on the square in the oil industry. The sturdy old John D.—has paid no attention to professional promoters but has gone straight ahead and made good financially for himself as well as those interested with him. Men who are on the square and have good holdings can do the same in the oil industry as John D.—, proportionately as to capital. J. P. Morgan made fortunes in Banking: so have others. Rockefeller made millions in oil. Why can't others? Prominent Arizona bankers are directing the affairs of the Border States Oil company. These men have made a success of their business and are pointing the way to others. You are invited to join them in this big commercial enterprise and share in the profits when the dollars begin to roll in from their oil holdings. Read their advertisement on page three, ask your banker about the reliability of the men connected with this company, then get busy and send in your order for as many shares of stock as you can afford to purchase. The stock is selling at $1.00 a share now and may be raised to $5.00 before Christmas. It behooves you to get busy and act NOW. Senator Would Place Blacks on German Colonies in Africa (By Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—Voluntary emigration of the Negroes of this country to the former German colonies in Africa, where they would have a greater opportunity than in this country, but would still remain under the American flag, is believed by Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland to be not only a HARDWARE PALACE AND ARMS CO. STOVE greatly in contrast to ency and general utility seen one in actual opera- s or other device neces-fect in operation. You'll HARDWARE PALACE AND ARMS CO. Mr. France prepared a reservation to the peace treaty under which the United States would take over the colonies as her one-fifth of the German overseas possessions, which, he says, is granted this country by the treaty. He would have the former German colonies developed under the tutelage of the United States and opened up as lands of opportunity for the educated Negroes of this country. "The educated Negroes, made ambitious by education, but held down more or less in this country, would turn to these African colonies as lands where the fullest opportunities for their abilities would be open," said Senator France today. "I think they would desire to go there as fast as we educated them. In time I think there is no question that all of our Negroes would go there.
