COURT PROCEEDINGS ARE BROGHT AGAINST COLORED SHRINERS (By The Associated Negro Press) Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 13.—The Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, white, have filed a petition against Mohammed Temple No. 34, Ancient Egyptian Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Colored, asking the name, insignia, emblems, badges, etc., of the Shriners. It is alleged in the complaint that the Negro order is an imitation of the Shriners, but that it is not recognized and has no authority from the Imperial Council to adopt the name and emblem and conduct the ritual work of the Shriners. It is alleged that as a requirement of membership to the Shrine, the applicants must be Masons in good standing, and that the members of the Colored order have not that qualification. This is the second suit of this kind brought in the United States, it was said. The first was brought in Atlanta in 1914 and was won by the petitioners after the case had been carried through the Supreme Court of the United States. The Colored Shriners promise a warm loyal battle for their rights. LABOR SITUATION IN EAST GROWING MORE ACUTE DAILY St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 13.—The Negro labor situation in St. Louis is daily becoming more acute. The plants are no longer laying off men but they are not taking on any men. Hence the number of men "broke" is greatly increasing. The St. Louis Provident association reports that those applying for help are able-bodied men between the ages of 20 and 33 and are newcomers from Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and other northern points. The report says: "During the month of December more than 1000 came to our office for employment. This is the largest number that have applied in a single month by 100. Of this number 131 were placed which is the smallest number placed by the League since its offices were opened. This indicates not only the seriousness of the present situation, but the possible developments for the next two months with the increase of crime, misery, and other social maladjustments. "The League is issuing a special statement to pastors this week on this unusual situation urging them to lay definite stress on the present wave of unemployment which is now upon us. Next week pastors, colored foremen, and leading laymen will be called into conference to devise the best means for meeting the present situation. It seems paradoxical but in the face of the present conditions colored men are quitting their jobs because "hours are too long," "work is too hard," "I thought he would cut me off anyway," etc. The Urban League urges all those having jobs to make no changes now." TOPEKA INAUGURATES A NOVEL SYSTEM Topeka, Kans., Jan. 13—Kansas theatres may segregate, but they cannot deny admittance to the show houses. That is the opinion of the attorney general's office in passing on the policy of a Parson's movie house. The "Liberty" theater in Parsons refused to admit Negroes. The case was checked up to the state legal department. It held that while a color line could not be drawn, a given portion of the house might be set aside for Negroes—and the management might decide which seats they should occupy. NOTED BARITONE WILL GIVE RECITAL AT A.M.E. CHURCH On Thursday evening January 20, Prof. C. A. Heath, noted baritone of California, will give a recital at Tanner chapel, A. M. E. church, corner Second street and Jefferson. A number of people in Phoenix already have had an opportunity to hear this great singer, who, on several occasions rendered selections at the local colored churches, and all acknowledge him Prof. C. A. Heath one of the best baritone singers they have ever heard. On next Thursday evening Mr. Heath will be at his best and all Phoenix will be given an opportunity to hear him. He will be assisted by some of the leading local talent. The committee in charge of this entertainment suggests that you come early and secure a good seat as they expect a packed house. Admission 25 cents. Remember the date and come early. UNIVERSITY NOTES The question of marketing farm produce is of paramount importance to the farmers of the state, and in view of this fact there has been arranged a special day designated as "Marketing Day" which will be Thursday, January 20th of Farmers' Week, which is scheduled for January 17 to 22, 1921. The program for this day has been filled from material directly relating to the marketing of farm produce. As a special feature for this day Mr. C. A. McNabb, specialist of marketing from the United States Bureau of Markets, will discuss the marketing situation at the afternoon assembly. Mr. McNabb is considered one of the most capable men in the Bureau of Markets, and is especially fitted to discuss southwest conditions and Arizona conditions on account of having been for the past four years working in co-operation with the New Mexico College of Agriculture in Mechanic Arts. During this time, Mr. McNabb has organized the Pinto Bean Growers' association, the Sweet Potato Growers' association, the Wool Growers' association of the state of New Mexico in such a way that their produce has been marketed co-operatively with very successful results. Aside from the state associations organized, there have been numerous local associations organized for the marketing of cantaloupes, cabbage, eggs, milk, cotton and horticultural products. In view of the fact that there is abundant opportunity in Arizona to produce specialist crops, providing proper marketing organizations are perfected, the discussion by Mr. McNabb is of vital interest to many Arizona farmers, and the opportunity to hear Mr. McNabb and discuss with him the problems of local and state magnitude should not be overlooked by any producer of staple crops, or special crops. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1921. RESENTS BEING CALL "GREASER;" SLAYS OFFENDER Austin, Tex., (National Negro Press Association Service.)—Mexicans present being called Greasers. This was demonstrated a short while ago when a white traveling salesman had his throat cut from ear to ear after he had referred to the Mexican people as low-down greasers. The affair occurred upon a M. K. and T. train. It appears that the white traveling salesman came into a coach which was pretty well filled with Mexicans, who were going to various points in Texas and some to their home in Mexico from the cotton fields and labor camps. It appears that this white man could find no seat. He became infuriated and blurted out, it is said, in substance, the following: "It is an outrage that a white man can find a seat in a train, and that all these low-down Mexican Greasers are comfortably seated you must stand up." It is said that he continued this kind of haranguing for several miles on the fast moving train until one of the Mexicans rose from his seat, pulled out his knife and without any words or quarrel, he proceeded to carve up this white salesman, cutting his throat from ear to ear. It is said that the man died almost instantly. When two other white men came to the rescue of the injured man they, too, were given their share. The Mexican was arrested and put in jail charged with murder, but it is said that he has made no remarks except that his people are men and thousands of them are citizens of the United States. It developed that these people are as much opposed to being called out of their names as the Japanese people in this country are tobeing called Japs, and that this is just as distasteful to them as it is to colored people to call them "nigger." The affair has created no little comment, and it is said down this way that it is the first lesson in a course that the Mexican people intend to give to the white people of the United States in referring to them or addressing them in an ungentlemanly manner. BIRTHDAY OF LATE MADAM WALKER IS OBSERVED AT PLANT (Special to The Tribune) Indianapolis, Ind.—The entire plant of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., at Indianapolis, Ind., was closed on Thursday, December 23rd in silent commemoration of the 53rd birthday of their founder, the late Madam C. J. Walker. Walker agents and Walker Unions throughout the land reverenced that day by suspending business, conducting memorial services and thanking Heaven that so noble a woman had lived. Employees and agents of this worthy Race enterprise and the largest of its kind in the world, are continuously impressed with the conscientious efforts of Madam Walker and urged so far as possible to emulate her noble life. Though stopped are her activities here on earth, her examples and precepts still live and her good deeds stand out as milestones in our Racial development. Gentlemen who are faced by the prospect of sleeping in the parks on account of the housing shortage will be pleased to hear, from the National Association of Retail Clothiers, that they can at least hope to be warmly clad. Clothing is coming down. When summer lingers in the ample lap of autumn nobody objects. France is afraid of the man on horseback. Over here we fear the eighteen-year-old child in the big automobile. MOTION PICTURES TO AID STARVING CHILDREN OF EUROPE MOTION PICTURES TO AID STARVING CHILDREN OF EUROPE All county chairman of the European relief council have been asked to co-operate with the motion picture interests which through their national organizations have agreed to save from death 250,000 of the 3,500,000 starving children of central and eastern Europe. Arizona headquarters of the council at Phoenix in sending out the letters quoted a wire from Herbert Hoover, chairman of the council, New York, which reads: "We have received an invaluable gift for the European children through the co-operation of the motion picture industry of the United States. They pledge to give publicity in every motion picture house of the country through a film called "The Invisible Guest." They have set aside January 26th when every motion picture theater will be open for speakers and collection of funds. They also have set said January 29, when at 10 o'clock in the morning the greatest children's party in the history of the world will be held and when a specially prepared film will be shown. All receipts on this latter date will go to the European relief council. It is vitally important that you inform every city and district chairman of these plans and ask every organization to co-operate in using to the fullest the splendid facilities which the motion picture industry place at our disposal." SYSTEM OF PEONAGE FOUND TO EXIST IN STATE OF GEORGIA SYSTEM OF PEONAGE FOUND TO EXIST IN STATE OF GEORGIA (Special to The Tribune) New York, Jan. 13.--A startling story of peonage in the Georgia town of Monticello, with colored men in the cotton fields whipped by overseers armed with guns, is contained in a letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter, which comes from the Chattanooga branch of the association, contains atranscript of the story told by Will Thomas, who escaped by night walking 25 miles by road to escape the virtual slavery which, according to his account, prevails in Monticello. Thomas said that he had been in ministerial work on Sundays at Monticello. He said he was forced to pick from 500 to 600 pounds of cotton daily at the point of a gun or crack of a whip. At Monticello the plantation owners have from five to twenty-five families on their places. Twenty-five families necessitate the employment of five overseers constantly armed with guns, whips and clubs which were used unsparingly on the Colored victims. Thomas further stated that the colored people knew absolutely nothing of freedom within the radius of 25 miles of Monticello. He said they were guarded in their church worship at times; driven by guns to work by day, and intimidated by mobs at night when they were locked up for safekeeping until 3 o'clock in the morning when they were aroused to go to work. The wives and children, too, must work by their husbands on the owner's plantation, said Thomas. Children, Thomas said, are allowed to go to school until they are 12, when they are taken out and forced to work under the same conditions as their fathers and mothers. Thomas said colored people are allowed to acquire real estate which is later seized without due process of law. One sure way to effect a reduction of prices would be for everybody to do business at a loss, but then something else would happen. BLACKS SHOULD BE MORE LIKE JAPANESE SAYS NOTED WRITER (By The Associated Negro Press) Macon, Ga., Jan. 13.—Everywhere there is evidence that the people throughout the country are taking a lively interest in comparing Colored Americans and Japanese, and endeavoring to prophesy the attitude of the Colored people should the United States and Japanese engage in war. There is seldom a comparison made along economic lines, and hence the editorial expression from the Daily Telegraph, Macon, is of unusual interest. It says, in part: "Compare, for instance, the Japanese and the Negro. If the Jap can realize two or three dollars a day for his labor, at the end of five years he has enough money in the bank to buy a worn-out farm or a piece of barren land that has been deserted by the white man as useless. He purchases the land at about twenty dollars an acre. A few years later he has made this land productive beyond the greatest expectations on the part of others and he can sell it for a hundred dollars an acre. He is so aggressive that soon he owns large land and the white farmers are afraid to contemplate what the Japanese will be able to do next. He works all day and sometimes all night, taking a short nap now and then. Even when he is working for the other man, he will take his pipe after supper and go back to work. How can a white man compete with his products in the face of such an energy as this. "If the Japanese came to Georgia he would be raising cotton and selling it for fifteen cents a pound and making money, while the white farmer would stand aghast and wonder how he did it. Impossible? The Jap did it in the west with their products." "The Negro can make more money than two dollars a day, and if he were thrifty he could compete with the white man in such a way that he would be an economic danger to the south. That is, if he saved his money, worked as hard and lived as cheaply as the Japanese, went into business for himself and studied technical books and reports in regard to his business as do the Japanese, ever applying the most modern and advanced methods; the white man of the southeast would no more be able to compete with the Negro than can the west coast people with the Japanese, could sell his produce cheaper and then make more money over his living expenses than can the white man. "We do believe, though, that the Negro should be a little more like the Jap and that it would be more to his interest to study agriculture and the industries than Latin, Greek and Spanish, which some are being taught in Negro colleges that are not industrial colleges. Too many men are useless to themselves and to the commonwealth as well. "But the Negro will never be the Japanese, nor does Georgia want the Japs in superabundance." STATE BANK OPENED BY COLORED FOLK IN CITY OF CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., Jan. 13.—The Binga State bank opened its doors to the public on Mgnday the 3d of January. It was a red letter day in the history of this city. One thousand one hundred people deposited more than $50,000. This large amount added to the deposits turned over to the new institution by the Binga private bank raised the total deposits for the day to the comfortable sum of $201,000. Jesse Binga is the president of the bank. Charles S. Jackson is the vice-president and C. N. Langston is the cashier. The bank is located at the corner of State street and 36th Place, right in the heart of the business section of the famed "Black Belt." GOV. T. E. CAMPBELL DELIVERS MESSAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE GOV. T.

It is the National Federation of Railwaymen, and the organization was consummated January 4. at a meeting in Birmingham, Ala. Combining with the organization are the locomotive firemen and shopmen. The attendance at the meeting was large and Monroe James was elected craft president. One of the outstanding features of the organization is the endorsement of plans for the immediate establishment of an insurance company to be capitalized at $200,000.00. R. L. Mays, president of the Railwaymen's International, is one of the prime movers in the insurance plan. COLORED BOY WINS FIFTY DOLLAR PRIZE FOR POLITENESS COLORED BOY WINS FIFTY DOLLAR PRIZE FOR POLITENESS (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 13.—Paul Rayfield Johnson, a six-year-old Negro boy of this city, has taken an honorable place among Chicago's politest citizens. He is $50 the richer by reason of this fact and "Colored" Chicago is highly pleased with this latest honor that has come unsought to the race in this section. The Chicago Tribune is awarding daily $50 prizes to the politest person discovered by its "Polite Editor." On the 2rd of January the editor ran across young Paul Rayfield Johnson. He had been traveling far and wide through the benighted streets of the city and had about given up his searching for the day when he ran into Paul at the corner of Wabash avenue and 35th street. The youthful Negro's politeness overwhelmed the editor. The story goes that he was "knocked cold" and that it took him several minutes to recover his equanimity under the stress of the very unusual circumstances of finding a member of the "cullud" race the politest person of a hard day's travel and search. Paul Rayfield Johnson is wearing his honors easy and becomingly and has promised to use the prize money in an earnest endeavor to start on the road of procuring a good education. His only relative in the city is an aged grandmother who promises to aid the boy to carry out his intentions in this particular. A considerable number of Colored citizens have evinced an interest in the boy and there is a strong probability that he will be the center of a well advised co-operation from members of the race whenever he starts on his trip to the world of the knowledge of things. If you wish to know why the unspeakable Turk is in that frame of mind you have only to reflect that the cost of living in Constantinople has risen 1,420 per cent since 1914. In the very lexicon of the reds there is no such word as free speech for the other fellow. Where they are in control they suppress it by firing squads, and where they are not in control they attempt to suppress it by bombs and general terrorism. Recommends survey of educational needs, reorganization of state department of education and centralized distribution of school funds; would make office of state superintendent appointive instead of elective; county school superintendent also appointive; increase of school finances. Recommends strengthening of compulsory school law. County institute should be placed under direction of state board.

Taken as a whole, Governor Campbell document which will win the commendation Those who, largely for personal reasons, are opposed to Governor Campbell and would belittle him for lack of constructive statesmanship, can find nothing to support their position in his able, clear-cut and broad-visioned message to the legislature. He presents a well-considered and comprehensive program which, if carried out, will advance the best interests of the state. His utterances on law enforcement legislation are wise. He is perfectly right in maintaining that there are already too many obsolete and unenforceable laws upon the statute books. Fewer laws, with rigid and fearless enforcement of the same are needed. The message gives light upon the school system and recommends reform. The keynote of the message is education and economy in the expenditure of public funds. Speaking of education the Governor said: "I believe that the highest duty the state has to perform is to educate its citizens. I believe that education is a national question, and should be so directed, but, in the absence of national legislation, feel it the duty of the state to direct and support the education of every school child within its borders, providing, whenever and wherever possible, the same educational opportunities. I further believe that the end can be accomplished with less expenditure of public funds than at present, and I earnestly request that your honorable body give earnest consideration and positive action upon the necessary legislation to come before you on this most vital matter." His views upon the labor question, road problem, highways and bridges, school finance, teachers' pensions and other legislative recommendations are to be commended. Taken as a whole, Governor Campbell's message is a statesmanlike document which will win the commendation of the people of Arizona.

HOLT’S EXPERIENCES + PERSE SEE TEE ETS By Mrs. M. E. Holt | Note: An efficient equipment for dressmaking has b2en carried out in ‘Mrs, Holt's own home, She brought to her home an understanding how the sewing room should be kept, gained from the study of domestic art in Prairie View State Normal and Indus trial College, and she is sure that the directions given here, if followed, wit Prove successful. The Sewing Room Every woman Who sews or has sew ing done at home should have a light by day and the artificial light should ‘be properly placed and shaded, The ‘floor should be covered by a clean [sheet or linen drugget—sometimes ‘called a crum cloth. This covering ‘keeps light-colored*material from be ‘coming soiled, and also enables you to leave the sewing room in perfect ‘order at the end of the day, for the seraps and the threads can be picked up in the cloth. "The room should be furnished with comfortable straight chairs, a table large enough to lay out a skirt or coat for cutting’ and sewing. It it is a regular sewing table, you can keep your shears, pins, ete, in the ‘drawer. ‘The table should have a smooth, hard, even surface, and should be of comfortable helght so you can sit with your feet under it as you would sit at a writing table Never sew with your work on your lap. It makes you sit in a fatiguing position, strains your eyes and back and stretches and crumples your work. Lay your sewing on the table, letting the table support its weight. : A big chest drawer is useful Keep one drawer for buttons, bexes, hooks and eyes, bones, ete.; another for patterns and a third for left-over pieces of material as long as the garment is in use, in case you wish to mend or alter it, There should be hooks on the wall, coat and skir hangers, and a silkoline curtain tc draw over dresses ,ete., that are left hanging over night, - CLUB NOTES By Marion Noble ‘The holidays are over and the club women again are taking up their work after a round of dinner parties, dances and afternoon affairs.
