Topeka Plaindealer The City Collector Will Visit Local Subscribers During the Next Few Weeks. Take Due and Timely Notice A FEW OF THE NEGRO'S TROUBLES Some Letters Dealing With Trials Encountered by Colored Americans. Coffeyville, Kansas, July 26th, 1919. Mae Thomas L. Blanton Representative, Washington, D. C. Representative, Washington, D.C. My Pearl Sir: I note sometimes age reading of what you should say concerning Union Labor. I like the state which you have taken, now I am writing you for some information in regards to the labor question as I have attested that you do understand the Negro question in the South regards to labor. Twenty-five thirty years ago I was a train worker on the I and G. N. Ry in that ordered men were employed on most of the Southern roads and they got along very well with the management, but at that time organized labor was not very strong in the South and colored men had no trouble in securing work. Since that time organized labor has taken a hod of in general so that he can hardly find work, while he has never been able to get a living wage in the North. Now I note that they call them selves opening the door of the union to the black man, but I cannot see how the black man can accept it and do himself any good, while a coat leg is better than no leg at all I cannot have anything to do with it under the clause in the constitu- tion United Brotherhood of Mainte- rance of Way and Shop Labors, Article 12. See 114 read thus com- mencing at line 6: The colored em- ployees of way and shop labors in the United States are to be organized under an allied organization in new parent body—the vbgkvbk acquired lodges under the control of the parent body, subject to the con- stitution and by-laws of said parent body. Allied lodges shall have repre- sentation in grand lodge only through the general chairman on the system of railway where they are employed. it seems to me that we are to pay taxes without representation. It shows again that they only want the colored man 'out of their way in the north and is going ahead telling the colored man that he is on the same footing with the white man which I believe is not true and there should be some colored man to show the Norms where there is nothing good instrument like that for him talking you for some information too matter and will say again that some colored man that knows condition of things with the colored laborers and what it takes to do a days work and condition of things with the colored laborers on the labor board and not a man who never will guest to see a man perform a days work. I am today section foreman on the M. K. and T. Ry. and have been for the past thirty four years and do not want any entanglement with organized labor without it must good. Again thanking you apply in the matter, I am. Yours truly I. F. Robertson. Foreman Section 21 M. K. and T. Ry. Nick Chiles, Editor, Tampa Plaindealer. Tampa, Kansas Editor:—Here is a little piece of news that I wish you will form an editorial and print: On Monday, July the 21st, we (two colored men), were employed and taken to Elgin, Kansas by the Frank Reed Supply Co. We arrived in late in the afternoon and after we had landed and prepared our lunch between sundown and dark, a large crowd of hostile red necks came to our camp. The foreman went up town, but there was one white man that went up there with that was there. They asked to see the foreman, as the foreman was there, the other white man asked them what did they want. They asked that there had never been any prisoners in that town and they were going to have any there at all Brown what we could see and hear they were armed with sticks, clubs, chains, and every thing They met the forman on their way back to town and demanded that we leave town before night the next day And white we were at the depot next day some of the brutes would wink their eyes and ask us why were we going back, and why don't we stick with the job* Tillman, Frank Tillman, James Brown, one from Oklahoma and myself were the employees of the hen brutes said (oh just of the niggers, I know that these boys will have fresh meat tonight" Washington, D.C. July 18, 1919 July 18, 1919 Dear Sir,—Investigation of your complaint of June 6th concerning the associations provided on M. K. and T. train No. 9 from Waxoner, Oklahoma May 13th discloses the fact that were most of the three compartment are operated on this road are not used with three toilets, unfortunately they are no a sufficient number of these cars to protect all runs at all times in territory where the local laws require the administration to separate the white and the colored people! Because of this circumstance it is necessary at times to use three compartment cars provided with only two toilets, and in such cases it it necessary, of course, for colored passengers, both male and female, to use the same toilet accommodations; particularly is this true where a part of the coach set aside for colored patrons is used as a smoking compartment for white passengers. While every effort is made to avoid conditions of this nature, occasions do arise when this cannot be done. This it seems was the case when you boarded the train above referred to. Concerning the seating house at McAster, which by the way is operated by the Union News Company inquiry shows that a place has been set aside in the lunch room where colored passengers may be seated and served. The policy of the management in this respect, however, is a concession to the local sentiment in Oklahoma and Texas with regard to the separation of white and colored people. Acting Chief, Mr Nick Chiles, President, Kansas Defense Society, Toronto, Kana Winfield,Kn. August (th. '10) Nick Chiles. Editor Topeka Plaindealer Your Mr. Chilson:—It has been unofficially reported, here that the young man that was supposed to have hanged himself, in the Newton fall sometime ago, has proven to be the effect of "Mob" violence, and not "suicide." According to the testimony of one of the jurors to an outside man, who is the pastor of one of our churches, the man met his death through foul play, evidently by the hands of the officers and others. The most suspicious thing, as it is stated, all the prisoners were taken out of the jail and sent away except this one man. And the night he was supposed to have hanged himself, no Negroes were allowed on the streets, then later came the alarm that the Negro had hanged himself. If this be true, it is an outrage and should be investigated. I make mention of this because I think you will take necessary steps to see that the guilty be brought to justice. Hoping to see an account of your actu soon, I am, COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS Mr J A J. Lane, for years a prosperous merchant of Howden, Okla., was fatally injured a few days ago when his truck was hit by a street car. He never regained consciousness.

AT EXCELSIOR SPRINGS we found the Albany Hotel still being properly conducted by Mr. and Mrs H O White. They are dearious of leasing this fine establishment and this is a good opportunity for some one who wants to do busi- ness. The bath houses are conducted by W. A. Doxey, Dr. Elliott and Mr. Harris, who are doing fine business. These gentlemen are the cream of Missouri from the fact that they have been there for years and have suc- ceeded. AT CHILLICOTHE we found the colored people doing fine. While there we were the guest of Mrs Sawyer and family, the mother of Prof Nathaniel Sawyer, of Toukea The colored people of this town are doing well. They are improving their homes and engaging in some business. A big entertainment was given for the homecoming of the soldier boys and also a band concert and ball at night. We have been told that Missouri, being a slave state, that more prejudice was exerted here than in other states that hold slaves, but we were surprised to find in the hall in which there were about one hundred and fifty people, one-third were white and when the dance began, the young white men with their white girls danced right along with the colored people and you could have not told the difference by the sounds for they danced just alike and their good Price $1.50 Per Year behavior could not be excelled. The young white business men and bankers were there to pay respect o. the home-coming of the boys. There were hundreds of young and old white people on the outside, who were almost dying to get in, but had too much prejudice and not enough nerve, but those white people who did attend, certainly had a good time. There is no use of talking race hatred is on the tobogan alide, even in old Missouri, Mr. E. D. Seymour, formerly of Iola, Kansas, was the manager of this affair and he certainly deserves great credit. He has bought a nice, improved farm just on the edge of the city limits. He and his detached wife are certainly loved and respected by both races. Mr. Seymour is a man full of race pride and we are under many obligations to him for the courtesy extended us. He not only introduced us to colored people, but whites as well. He took us around to the different banks and other business institutions AT LIBERTY we stopped a few hours and found the colored people progressing very rapidly AT MEXICO we found the grand lodge of Odd Yellowa and Household of Ruth in session. We met our old friend, Attorney Houston, who introduced us to a large audience of delegates and citizens who were holding a reception at the A. M. E. church. We came in just before the program was concluded and Chairman Lewis, grand secretary, who presided asked Mr. Houston to introduce us to the body. We talked about ten minutes and from the reception we received, we are inclined to believe most of the audience was well, pleased. We also visited the grand lodge of Odd Yellowa and was introduced to that body and the Grand Master, who is dignified. Christian gentleman and has made the order a success. AT GODFREY, ILL. we were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Hindman. They are among the most prosperous colored people in that section of the country. They own a good farm, well stocked. They have five children and most of them live on farms. Mrs. Hindman is a great community and church worker. Mr. Hindman also stands well and is a man who has made good by working hard and is a progressive citizen. He and his wife are loved and respected by all. We met our old friend, Mrs. Phillip Hawkins, who owns a big, fine farm, well stocked. He lost his wife several months ago and has rented his farm to his son. Mr. and Mrs. Hindman formerly lived in Topenka. It is here where their first baby girl was born. Thru them a meeting was arranged for the Killian Defense Society at the A. B. H church, Alton, Ill., the Rev. J. W. Brewer, pastor. We had a fare crowd who seemed to enjoy our talk. An organization was formed and $21 raised to use in fighting the battle for the soldiers now in prison for participating in the Houston, Texas plot and other matters pertaining to the race. Much credit is due Rev. Brewer, pastor for the dignified manner and way in which he handled the meeting and courtesy extended. He has one of the finest congregations we ever faced. They can raise more money and do more business in a little while than any church organization we ever met. He is a man full of race pride and is leader of his people and will not stand for any injustices to be heaped upon them without a vigorous protest. Someone attempted to fool the colored people in Alton into some kind of a union and Rev. Brewer got wind of it and he soon checked it. The following is a list of those who joined the Kangas Defense Society: Rev G. W. Brewer Dr G. Samuel Geo. Hindman Mr and Mrs. Chas Hawkins Mr Phillip Hawkins Mrs J Breckenridge While in Alton we spent the evening and night with the mother and sister of Mrs Hindman. YALE, KANSAS.

Little Miss Jenetta Love, of Iola, entertained a large audience at the Bethlehem M.E church last Friday by displaying her wonderful talent as a pianist. Little Miss Love is only seven years old and we predict great success for her in the future. For her years she cannot be surpassed. Each number of the program was well rendered and heartily received.

Unsigned communications, unless from our regular correspondents, will not be published. We are proud to know that the jury in the Ford controversy brought in a verdict in his favor. This was right and just. Mr. Ford is a great benefactor of the American people, and his enemies being jealous of his success, have resorted to all methods and schemes to lower him in the estimation of the best American citizens. He has been a friend to the colored people and has showed no discrimination between them and the whites when it came to giving out employment. He is fair in every way and one who exerts his christian influence to the devotion of all mankind. The Kansas Defense Society and its thousands of colored members along with the few whites, commends the jury for the just verdict in favor of right and justice. This further establishes Mr. Ford's reputation as one of America's foremost citizens. TABORIAN NOTES. The Taborian grand officers held an executive session and elected Sir A. M.
