The event was a significant occasion, bringing the community together to celebrate a shared goal. A Few of the Colord Employees at Armour's Packing Plant, Kansas City, Mo.---Taken for The Plaindealer's Special Edition Stand by the Metropolitan best men to his employees to be found anywhere and they are always pleased to consult him on any matter pertaining to their advancement They have old colored men on the pension roll who draw their salary each week and get their turkeys Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a Poor Man's Measure Backed by Business Men Whose Wealth Made Kansas City. We met Mr. Chas. W. Armour, head of the Western branch of the greatest packers in the world. He is courteous, kind, gentlemanly and a diplomat and strictly business. He has no star chamber or red tape. We questioned him about the colored employees and what of their work. He said he never had a better class of workmen, that he could always count on their loyalty to the company and their work was highly satisfactory. He stated further that he always employed them, that his grandfather was a strong abolitionist. Mr. Armour was born on a farm near Stockbridge, Madison County, N.;Y., and has been a hardworker all of his life, and it is through his great efforts and the Metropolitan that Kansas City is now one of the foremost cities in the West. Nearly all of the gigantic enterprises of that great commercial center have received his aid as there are but few men like him in the West who do things and knows how and when. Mr Armour is worth ten thousand Nelsons on as many Stars. He helps the working man white and black, therefore we are with him and those who toil. The Kansas City Star of Nov.26 under the capsion, "By the Company They Keep," attempts to cast a slur upon THE PLAIN- DEALER and the colored people for supporting the Metropolitan franchise by insinuating that they are purchasable and none would support the measure except those of that class. The best element of the race in Kansas City resented this insult by denouncing the Star through the columns of the Kansas City Journal. We have investigated enough to find out that the Star's fight on the Metropolitan is a personal one and not for the best interest of the working people of Kansas City. What the poor receives is little enough and that they need daily. They cannot wait forty years to see how theories will work out, they need it now; while on the other hand the Star man goes to Europe almost every year and can afford to wait forty years and let the poor working people suffer by paying five cents fare when the Metropolitan offers to make it four provided the extension is granted and will be effective immediately after the election on December 16th. We were conducted through the several departments of the plant by Mr. James Feunell, general superintendent. He worked his way up from the bottom having drove cattle in the yards for the company when a boy. Mr. Armour makes his several managers by letting them work up from the bottom. Mr. Feunell is strictly business, knows every department and looks after the affairs of this great company whose business represents millions. He is kind and painstaking. He said the colored men were good workers and it was a delight for him to employ them. We want the Star to understand that this paper cannot be influenced by money even if the Star occasionaly side-steps which looks suspicious to the public and causes them to think that Mr. Nelson is not running the Star for his health. As we stated before, the sight of the Star is personal and directed against the Armours because they are large stockholders in the Metropolitan, and granted Mr. Nelson favors in days when he never dreamed of having a foreign coachman or sightseeing in Europe. We want the Star to further understand that this paper stands for the advancement of the commercial interest of the commonwealth, and when corporations go out of their way to assist the common people as the Armours and the Metropolitan are doing, we are for them first, last and all the time. We are for the man of brain, push and energy every day in the week and we will be the last to desert a man or corporation who employes our race and gives them a chance to rise in the race of life. We are thoroughly convinced that the Armour Packing Company is a staunch friend of the Negro who wants to work, and their long line of noble ancestry were friends of the race. Thirty-three per cent. of their employees are colored men and women. We went through the packing house and to our surprise we found the boiler room, heating and steam department managed by colored men—about fifteen in number with Mr. Wm. Hatfield in charge. He said that he had been with the Company 13 years and that Mr. Chas. W. Armour is one of the Mr. R. F. Spence has charge of the beef cutting and boneing department. He works about 75 men of which 33 per cent. are colored. It being piece work, the men are selected from the best butchers and they earn from $5 to $12.50 per day. Now, in the name of high Heaven, what has Nelson and his Star done toward making Kansas City what she is today? We answer, nothing save. fight the Armours and the Metropolttan Street Railway company and other great concerns that has helped make Kansas City and feed thousands of laborers and their families Why shouldn't the colored voters support the Metropolitan franchise when men like the Armours, who gives them employment are interested? This is why the best class of colored people are supporting the measure. Now let the Star and Mr. Nelson name any great number of colored men they ever employed. Mr. Armour employs them from coachman on up to foreman in his packing plant, but our friend Mr. Nelson prefers a French or English gentleman. The electrician at this great plant is Henry Williams, a colored man and Mr. Armour says he is first class and also does the electrical work at his residence. Mr. Armour is proud of the commendable strides made by his colored employees. NUMBER 5 anchise on Dec. 16th! Plaindealer's Special Edition NASH WALKER IS HERE. With Private Secretary and Enviable Clothes the Comedian Blew In— He is Taking a Rest Cure—Has Been Bluffing the Public Says His Private Secretary—Will Remain Here for Six or Eight Weeks and Will Rejoin Williams Next September. Nash Walker, the famous colored comedian, accompanied by his private secretary and all the clothes that have made him the envy of many a Lawrence colored lad, and also some of the older lad, is in town. He is stopping at the home of his mother, Miss. Alice Myers, 401 Indiana street. "Just been bluffing the public a little," said the private secretary, William C. Moulton, when asked as to the report that Nash was a physical wreck. "You see, Mr. Walker had to get a good rest and enjoy life a little and this is the easiest way to get it. We have been at Mount Clement, Wisconsin, having a good time and Mr. Walker is in fine condition," he explained. "We came in last night to see Mr. Walker's mother and to spend a short time with his old friends. I think we shall be here six or eight weeks and then we will go East. Mr. Walker will be back on the stage next season with Williams. There is nothing to the story that there has been a split up in the firm." he said. This is the home town of Nash. Here he was raised and blacked boots. eH then went on the stage. Fortune smiled on Nash and he soon was the most distinguished member of his race on the American stage. He went off the satge with the opening of the present season and it was reported that he was suffering from a severe nervous trouble. But he has been blushing the public. His secretary admits though that he has been a little sick. A RICH COLORED MAN. Lawrence Colored Man Pays Thirteen Hundred Dollars Taxes this Year. W. T. Escoe, who built a beautiful home at the corner of Maine and Warren streets last year, is probably one of the richest colored men in Kansas, as is evidenced by the fact that his taxes for 1909 are $1,300. In appearance Mr. Escoe would pass readily for a white man and when it comes to business judgment it is hard to find his equal. He has large holdings in Oklahoma as well as in Kansas. --- Красный Красный Красный Get VASSAR Chocolates from your dealer. Refuse substituter.

Courteous Attention Elegant Carriages Before the greatest crowd that ever witnessed a Negro foot ball game in this section of the country, Western University and the K C Y M U A foot ball teams closed the season on Thanksgiving day at Shelly Field in one of the fiercest and hardest fought games in the history of the two teams. The weather was ideal, making it possible for a large attendance, while the field being first made it possible for good team work. The teams being evenly matched in weight, and in excellent condition, made the game very enthusiastic. The work of White and Brooks of the YM O A were features of the game. For W U Capt Fisher, Chiles, H Fisher and Lyle, the star end showed their usual form in defensive and offensive playing. The score in each half, 0-0 shows how evenly honors were divided. The season at W U has been a successful one in the opinion of Coach Jacobs, the squad having won 2, tied 2 and lost 2, leaving W U and K C Y M O A tied for first honors in the Kaw Valley. The officials in the game rendered fair decisions to the satisfaction of both captains. Those who officiated were Prof C Cook of Lincoln High, Prof J M Marquess, J P King, Geo Porter and O B Buster of Sumner High, Mr Fox and Jr White of Kansas City, Mo. We feel that our people in this section are becoming lovers of the great college game and urge a raising of the standard of the game. The management of the WU is pleased with the outcome of the game and desires to thank the many admirers and supporters who joined her ranks on this occasion. We hope to repeat the same thing next season, and ask for your support again. WEIR, KANSAS. A F Vanhook, of Cherokee, who had been sick since June, is up and was in the city on the 6th.
