A. F. OF L. AGREES TO ADMIT NEGROES ON EQUAL TERMS
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Denver, Colo., July 7. (Special Correspondence.)—Upon reading the executive council's report presented the first day of the American Federation of Labor convention, one felt it to be a great pity that so important a convention should take place without submission to it of a unified program of some sort for the advancement of the labor movement.
The text of 130 resolutions submitted by delegates was made public in the printed proceedings of the second day—after which no resolutions are introduced under the rules without unanimous consent. The same feeling of helplessness followed a perusal of them. There were bright spots here and there, but no program—not even the materials cut of which to make a program. Some criticize the leaders of the A. F. of L., and charge them with hot leading, but here is one spot where every delegate has the opportunity to at least present his ideas for the advancement of the movement.
Not only that, but the labor movement is confronted with the gravest crisis in its history. There has been plenty of congratulation at the convention on the splendid manner in which the movement has come through the crisis thus far, but nothing resembling a comprehensive plan of campaign for that part of the panic period that is to come—probably the most severe part of it. The nearest thing to a program presented to the convention was a series of resolutions submitted by the electrical workers' delegation and a dozen other delegates, including J. W. Kline of the blacksmiths, Martin Ryan of the Railway Carmen, Joseph W. Morton of the stationary firemen, and James J. Forrester of the Railway Clerks.
One man prevented the convention from considering a resolution condeming the Ku Klux Klan, although the delegates seemed overwhelmingly in sympathy with the denunciation of the organization. He was William L. Hutcheson, international president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joins of America.
A bleak feature of the resolutions was the presence of four or five pleas from colored workers in various lines for admittance to the unions. The A. F. of L. is on record for racial equality and urging all the international unions affiliated with the A. F. of L. that excludes Negroes from membership and the federation has no power to interfere with the autonomy of the internationals. Samuel P. Gompers was elected president.

ATTY ROBT, L. FORTUNE WINS HIS FIRST CASE IN LOCAL COURTS
Attorney Robt. L. Fortune of Oklahoma, who came to Phoenix several months ago and opened law offices in the Irvine building, 35 East Washington street, had his first criminal case last week in the Justice Court. His client, John Farrell, was charged with firing a shot at Deputy Sheriff Bill Williams, which if proven, would have meant several years in the penitentiary.

BLACK MAN WILL BE RECORDER DEEDS SAY LATE REPORTS
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, July 7.—Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., has been nominated for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. President Harding in sending the name of Mr. Johnson to the senate created a distinct surprise in political circles and none were more surprised than Col. Johnson himself. He has let it be distinctly understood that he was not a candidate for office and that under no circumstances would be resign as a member of the Republican National Committee. To the A. N. P. representative, Col. Johnson said: "I knew nothing of this and am not yet sure I will accept. I must first talk the matter over with my loved ones here in my family. My desire is to be of the greatest service to my people and I will yield nothing in principle for public possession." A group of southern Democratic senators have announced that they will oppose the confirmation but it is certain their opposition will not prevail. Washington and the country are watchfully waiting for action upon the Registrar of Treasury. Some wise, politically, profess to feel that the insurgent movement threatened by 100 Republican congressmen and led by Rep. Ansorage may cause a revival of interest by the powers that be.

EASTERN MANUFACTURERS
REPORT SMALL DEMAND
FOR COTTON PRODUCTS
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Fall River, Mass., July 7.—The trading in the cotton goods market here has continued very small in volume this week, with a light demand and prices generally sagging. The fall in cotton prices has helped to bring goods prices down. Manufacturers have had to accept prices that meant distinct losses or accumulate goods with the possibility of selling them at lower prices than those now ruling. In the print cloth division the light inquiry has included both wire and narrow goods in standard styles. Buyers have usually wanted spots on June deliveries. Manufacturers would usually not consider orders that could not be filled from stocks on hand.
WONDER OF 20th CENTURY
DISCOVERED IN PARIS
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Paris, France, July 7.—Professor de La-personne, of the French Academy of Medicine, has found a girl of fifteen in France who has teeth in one of her eyes. This girl has suffered with her eyes since her first birthday and her parents consulted Professor Lapersonne. Submitting the child to an x-ray examination he found small teeth in perfect shape in the orbit of the left eye.

ELEVATION OF TAFT TO SUPREME BENCH PLEASES THE SOUTH
(By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, July 7.—William Howard Taft, former president of the United States, will succeed the late Chief Justice White as head of the United States Supreme Court when that tribunal convenes in October. Nominated by President Harding late last Friday, Mr. Tafts confirmation was voted by the senate in executive session little more than an hour afterward.
Confirmation of the appointment was not without opposition. Senators Borah, Johnson and LaFollette and Watson of Georgia voted against the nomination, and according to reports, Senator Borah and Johnson expressed criticism of Mr. Taft's capacity for the position and that many of his utterances have disclosed lack of judicial temperament. The roll call was 60 to 4 for confirmation.
Several southern senators, including Underwood of Alabama, the minority leader, were active in supporting the nomination. Mr. Underwood was said to have declared the nominee was "beloved by the south." Because the supreme court will probably pass upon many cases soon affecting the welfare of the race, thoughtful colored people fear the pronounced pro-southern views of Mr. Taft are of disadvantage.
RACE LOSES STAUNCH FRIEND IN DEATH OF DR. J. B. GAMBRELL
By The Associated Negro Press)
Little Rock, Ark., July 7.—In the death of Dr. J. B. Gambrell, Baptist denomination has lost one of its most conspicuous figures, and the South one other most valuable citizens. Dr. Gamble was one great southern white man who arose above race prejudice and had so much of the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ in him, that he considered all men as his brithren. He was a true friend to the Negro race, and during the time that he served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, did all in his power to have that great organization to take hold of the hand of their weaker brother and help him on his feet. Speaking on the race question several years ago, before the Mississippi legislature, he was quoted as saying "I would not strike a man, under me, if I should kick a man, I would select a governor, and not a man who could not help himself."
He was a great preacher, and teacher, and took pride in saying that he learned to preach by preaching to a Negro congregation, in fact, he said that one of his first pastorates was a Negro church. The colored Baptists of this country share with their white brethren in theri greg that they feel in the loss of that great man, for he truly was a Prince in Israel.

MODERN HOTEL TO BE SHREWD WHITE MAN BUILT BY BLACKS IN FLEECED CHICAGO GALVESTON TEXAS BLACKS OF $3,000,000
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Fort Worth, Texas, July 7.—The formation of a real estate corporation to provide a hotel and bathing facilities at Galveston was launched by colored people from many parts of Texas assembled in a conference held at the Masonic Temple last Wednesday afternoon, according to the statement of A. G. Perkins local colored lawyer, who, after attending the conferences, returned to Galveston Friday afternoon.
"The general interest of Galveston to all the people of Texas because of its importance as a port; its established reputation as a health resort and as a pleasure resort or the common playground of Texas, were stressed," Perkins stated.
The plan is to raise $30,000 for the improvements, which will and must be first-class and on a suitable location north of the seawall boulevard. Minimum subscriptions of $100 are to be received by and kept on deposit with either Ed McCarthy & Company, bankers Galveston, and the Fraternal Bank and Trust Company of Fort Worth. Receipts will be issued by these banks to each subscriber, and if for any reason the corporation planned is abandoned each bank will return to each subscriber without any discount whatsoever, all the money which may have been subscribed. On the formation and incorporation of the proposed corporation certificates of stock based upon shares of the par value of $100.00 each will be issued to each subscriber. A three day session of the thirty-fifth grand convocation of the grand chapter were held here last week in the Masonic Temple, built by the Negro Masons of Texas at a cost of approximately $50,000. A. W. Edwards of Cleburne, grand high priest, presided.

By the Associated Negro Press)
Savannah, Ga., July 7.—The Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation, one of the largest Negro banking houses in the city, was opened last Monday morning at Gaston and West Broad streets. The building is 73 by 100 feet, and is of four stories. The structure is of concrete and steel and is finished with terra-cotta trimmings and faced brick.

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., July 7. "The co-operative Society of America and Harrison Parker, its chief promoter are in trouble again. Litigation has been started that seeks to cust Parker from his place as supreme dictator of the organization's destiny and to throw the concern into the hands of a receiver.
According to the charges in the bill presented in the petition 66,000 investors have sunk over $8,000,000 in the project and that Parker is making frenzied efforts to sell $9,000.000 worth of certificates which, the petition states, will probably be diverted to the advancement of his private ventures to the extreme detriment of the Co-operative Society's interests.
Colored people are credited with having invested more than $3,000,000 in the Co-operative Society with a strong likelihood it is asserted by the petitioners, that they will lose every penny of this large sum of money before the end of Parker's rope is reached. The petitioners further charge that the 120 stores of the company in the city of Chicago are being operated at a monthly loss of $20,000.
"This is another instance," said a prominent colored business man who does not care to be quoted, "of colored people putting their unbridled confidence into the offerings of the white men. This man Parker has succeeded in parting 5,000 or 6,000 colored people from money they are not likely to ever see again. They have done this at the expense of strong, legitimate business organizations like the Binga State Bank, Liberty Life Insurance Company and the Nile Queen Corporation. I hope their experience with this man parker will cure them of this habit."
The petitioners, mostly whites, declare that they will leave no stones unturned in their effort to make Parker, disgorge what they call his "ill gotten gains."
KANSAS CRYING FOR HARVEST HANDS
Kansas City Mo., July 7.—Mobilization of the labor army which moves northward from Texas to Dakota every year, cutting the wheat as it ripens, is beginning here. Through the free employment agency maintained by the Federal Department of Agriculture, working in co-operation with the state free employment bureaus, thousands of men are sent every year to the localities where they are needed most and warned away from the places where there is abundant labor. The demand began in earnest about June 15 and to date, supply and demand have been about normal here and have offset each other fairly well.
From Forth Worth, Texas and Little Rock, Arkansas, where the Federal employment bureau maintains temporary "field offices" have come reports of about 2000 surplus men. These men are now being directed to Oklahoma, where the wheat harvest is underway. Hutchinson, Kansas, has asked for eight hundred men and Wichita wants about 1500.
BOLL WEEVIL PLAYING
HAVOC WITH COTTON
IN MISSISSIPP
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Clinton Miss., July 7—Continuous rains the past week have been very deleterious to the welfare of the cotton crop. The long hot spell before the rains began had about wiped out the boll weevils, but with the coming of the rains and cloudy weather they returned with increased numbers and are practically destroying all the forms which the plants are putting on.
Other crops are looking well and it is believed farmers of this community will make enough foodstuff to supply all their needs for another year.
In the meantime the rank and file are hoeing their corn.

RACE RIOT EMMINENT
| (By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, July 7—Echoes of the
‘Chicago race riot which started at a
bathing beach, were revived recently
when a group of whites attacked col-
ored people at 39th strect and the
lake. The district peopled by colored
residents has no beach but at 29th
and 39th streets there are pools which
the public has been accustomed to
using. Under the law all citizens have
the right to use beaches, but whites
have been steadily trying to intimi-
date Negroes who venture to bathe.
‘The police are watching the situation
carefully,
