Charles Young of the United States Army, retired spoke at the True Reefer's Hall here Friday night, beating 8th to a nerve and appreciative audience, dispute the fact that the admission fee was three-five and twenty-five cents.

Editor John Mitchell, Jr., presided. he had never before met the distinguished typeal Ohioan, who had created such a sensation among the colored folks, when the military authorities had him sent to the hospital at Freeport, California on account of a high blood pressure. AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING Editor Mitchell had wilt on editorial after editorial in his behalf and when he met him behind the scenes that night, he chapped him to his breast and lingered him. Prayer was offered by Poel, J. E. Matthews in New Dr. J. E. Jones who was suffering with tritous trouble. Then Rev. Dr. W. H. Stokes proceeded to introduce the distinguished visitor, who spoke on "The Negro's Cultural Contribution to American Life," Col. Yourng did not subscrib to the statement that the Negro had made such great progress since his introduction into this country as a slave. A UNIQUE POSITION. He took the unique position that the Negro was alsoally civilized when he was brought here. In fact the black man's civilization anteceded that the white man. He proved this by extended citations for white authors, some of whom were bitter enemies to the Negro and who had radical antipathes to them in every way. He showed hat in Africa, in the Southland, Negroes had a form of Government of anything superior to our own. He declared that socialism and all of the questions pertaining thereto had been settled by the Negroes in Africa. He said that every body there worked. The men were un der their own chiefs and chamberlains and kings and that they had no jails and penentiaries. If a member of the family could not be controlled that member was put out of the way. NEVER IN WANT He declared that the Negroes in Africa were never in want. There was a public granary that furnished all of the people. He then discussed the Negroes in Haiti and commented upon the wonderful ability of Christophe, one of L'Outverture's ablest generals, who at one time was a cook. His works of ar may now be seen in that remarkable country Col. Young dealt with the habits of the Negroes in this country with their innate jealousia and disposition to attack and criticise each other and with their lack of race pride. He cited individual evidences of their progress, quoted from Paul Laurence Dunlart's works and paid a glowing tribute to the able editor of the New York Crisis, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. TO GO TO LIBERIA He urged all colored people to join the American Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He urged the colored people to be careful in their conduct, while avoiding ingering or the sacrifice of manhood rights. He had been assigned to duty in Liberty, where the people took plenty of time for everything. It was "tomorrow" over there always in contemplation of the American state of Hurry-up! Hurry-up! If Colonel Yousg had ever been affected by high blood pressure, he gave no indication of it that night. He spoke about one and a half hours and at the conclusion was "still going strong." A BANQUET TENDED HIM He was applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. Mme. C. Bernard GII- per son and two colonies in her immutable style and the audience was delighted. The honourment was announced by new Dr. W. H. Stones and Francis cautioned about the comparable character who has the unique distinction of being the only Field Colonel in the regular United States Army prior to his retirement and even now he is on specially assigned duty by the War Department. A Vienna was tendered him at Morris' Catherina and here too, he was the center of attention. TRAINING AFRICANS Col. Young beat the city Saturday morning. Chist.1, without being able to visit the many enterprises in the city, he came by the Planet Once on his way to the train. In speaking of the work in Africa, he said that he was to organize a troon or army of about 1,200 men. He found that the civilized men in Liberia were for the most part unfit for military service. He would recruit his men from those in the native state right out of the jungle and he could have them for service in about three months. Three officers of the expeditionary forces would accompany and assist him in the work. THE QUESTION OF OFFICERS He got his officers from the student classes in Liberia and he would also devote his time to the establishment of a force of militia as the Lebanon laws provided that every male citizen must bear arms. Cey, Voining is the essence of vigor and activity. His step is elastic and he has the military once of a trusted soiler. He related many anusing in civilians and showed that he was a student of history. He expressed himself as being under obligations to the colored press and the leaders, who had espoused his cause and won for him the recognition that he now enjoys. AN INVITATION EXTENDED When he vaulted into the automobile last Saturday morning waving an alien, he extended to the editor an invitation to call upon Mrs. Charles Young at Witferland, Ohio she'd find himself in _hat locality assuring him of a hearty welcome in the Young home in that historic town in the State of Ohio. --- I_n Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of our darling wife and mother who departed this life one year ago, December 16, 1918.

Newport News, Va., Dec. 8—President John Mitchell, Jr., of the Mechanies Savings Bank of Richmond spoke here yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist Church to the local branches of the National Brotherhood Workers of America. Addresses were made by President T. J. Pree and National Organizer, Green of Portsmouth, Va. Secretary W. B. Thomas had charge of the meeting. Rev. Dr. A. A. Galwin who has recently taken charge of the church was present. Mr. Mitchell spoke for forty minutes 'o the infinite satisfaction of all present. He discussed the labor situation so far as it relates to the colored man from every angle. UNDER THEIR OWN LEADERS. He urged the need of organizing the colored laboring men of the country under their own leaders and pledged his support in their so doing. He advocated a policy of co-operation with the white labor organizations, but in so doing he advised that it be done under their own leaders and as an independent unit. Black labor could then deal with white labor and black laborers could deal direct with white capitalists. A collection was lifted, Mr. Mitchell left yesterday evening for Richmond. Card of Thanks. Mrs. W. I. Johnson and children wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to friends, neighbors, and societies for the many flowers, lovely trays and tasty delicacies sent my beloved husband and our devoted father during his illness; also for the numerous and kind resolutions, costly floral de signs, stone, the handsome monument from the Underaker's Association and the sweet expressions of love and sympathy sent at death.

My Dear Sir: I have written you many times by request of the Organizing Committee on the Black Movement to Africa and you seem to favor the movement without a cause. The will of God must be fulfilled and the sons and daughters of Elijah; Israel the second must rise up and return to Africa, their native land. Therefore the committee respectfully calls upon every colored preacher in the United States, Canada, Cuba and the South American countries and Islands of the sea to begin on Christmas day 1919 to preach the Pass Over to Africa of all Black men women and children. We blacks must give way to the incoming Jews and no fight them. We will have enough of fighting to do in Africa, among our own people for such is the will of God. Nothing has been done in the United States since the Civil War of 1865 to induce the Negro to remain in this Country. The preachers and others must not make radical speeches on pass treatment, it does no good, but harm. The movement to commence in 1922 or before. D. R. THOMAS, Secretary and Treasurer.

Johnson, extend to their friends their sincere attitude and appreciation for the beautiful tokens which they sent to them on the occasion of their Twenty-fifth marriage anniversary.

Ringing Comment on $A_{\mathbf{n}}$ Important Subject. Paul be, Colorado, Nov. 30, 1919. To The Editor of The Planet. I think I will write an essay on November happened to see in your paper about the first of November in a commotion from a lady from too much in which she gave you a piece of her mind, so now why not let me do likewise, though I am not a lady from the outfit not only a mere male man. I see many funny thrashes in print and that letter was certain by one of them. It was on a par with to say a new story from London, describing the unshapen committal with an ax by a discharged Negro in a restraint, the fellow having begun by laying his ax on a table in the cafe. A COMMON INCIDENT To provide the sort of a Carrie Nat on performance the London mail provides stated: "This is a common incident in the United States. A mate who is down on a look will go an ex, go into a restaurant and lay it on a table. An ex on a table is a well-known sign to restaurant proprietors who promptly pay out $5, for they know that while they are tearing the police the man can do infinitely more damage." Your Italy from the north shouldn't therefore send her mysterical letters to be London Mail, and I hope she will not fail to mention the fact (though they are not facts but sensual nightmares she is after) that a certain percent of these aforesaid northern women are natural born fools, simple proof of this statement can be witnessed any day, on any street where I see women going around half dressed and walking on stilts. Maybe you southern women have more brains and more clothing — I don't know, but here in the raw cold air a mile high these silly girls have nothing on above the breast bone. AN IRONICAL CONCLUSION By the way I cannot understand how the colored men in your A lantie Coast country came to be such a lot of wild cannibal savages far worse than the Hottentots as I can prove by that lady's startling 'et er and any body that disputes this must be prepared to face her great big 41-calibre gun. I thought I had had some experience in human life in general, but it has been a sad routine of monomy compared with hers. She keeps a double barred lock on her door in a land where ferocious crimes are committed by Negroes almost daily, as she states. Now for my part I have not been in a place in a life time of sixty years where I was not in the neighboring presence of the usual number of colored people—half of that period in Indiana and half in Colorado, yet I have not in a single instance known personally of a case of outrage committed by a Negro. This is an actual fact. A light-yellow mulatto was hung on a telephone pole some years ago in our town on an accusation from out in the far suburbs but I know nothing of the details exeunt that even the suspicion against him was about as thin as a piece of sheer netting. So much for the amusing shrieks of your female correspondent, who I hope has some kind of garb more logical and civilized than the uniform of her Mother Eve. MURDEROUS CONDITIONS THERE But if she were here in Colorado, she could contain's point to a continual strife of tragedies, fully as serials as the dark picture her imagination throw upon your southern screen. Murders go on all the year round. I never saw anything like it. There has been a homicide or tragedy somewhere in the state for every week this year. It is infinitely worse than in the early times of the buffalo and Indians and gambblers. It is not necessary to give details' except to say that the mental effect upon me has been exactly the opposite of that of your body writer I too want to ber my door not from Negroes but from persons of certain brennite races whom I would not trust as far as I can throw a cow by the tail. They are people from certain countries on both sides of the ocean yet similar in latitude and climate where every prospect pleases but only man is vile; persons who carry either a stilet or a knife. There are several hundred of these in this cosmopolitan city, and I am as much afraid of one trach TWENTY FIVE MEETING—KEEP POSTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS cous specimen of them as of the other. If I were out on a daring night and had to mix with a bunch of from how good and thankful I would be to catch sight of a big soaring black. No soon coming along the logger and Iacker, the better, because I would know us nicely, his my friend. LEARNED MUCH But see what a lot of good paper I have been waiting on! I am getting started on my Essay on Negroes. What I started to say was that I have earned a whole lot about people since August 14, 1914, he said of the start of the World War. Gases some other observers, including a monster named Wilbon, have also got their eyes opened in ways that were inquiring. You canned tell by the bush on our car of even what kind of greeks, nor judge accomunity as to a potato or its skin. Same way way people, especially people's minds, have learned (as doubles did, Mr. Wilson, that the workings of the Lat in mind and of the Anglo-American mind are as different as those of two automobiles, a Ford and a Suedebok, or of a White and a Sarner Sewing machine; or of a gasoline and a steam engine. Further, I want to say right here and now that I do not wait our American rights ever to be hazarded by an arbitration in which the La in mode of thought has anything to say about it. WISHES TO SAY MORE But this is not an essay on *Negroes*, says the high surname lady from the north. Yes, it is: I am run nine hour of paper and have to send the rest of this letter some other time (after pay day) but I can put this down on the lower edge—the workings of the minds of the Anglo-American, and of the Jew, and of the Negro are alike. Not exactly similar in method but similar in conclusions; alike in analysis and logic. When I am not so busy I would like to say more about this, some time, when the weather is good and it usually is in funny Colorado MCHENRY GREEN THE Y. M. C. A.

Amazed by Omission Even to Suggest Action, Congress Will Move Quickly MUST SIGN OR VETO IT. Lodge Committee Decides Joint Resolution Best Procedure. Washington, Dec. 2.—Within an hour after Congress had realized that the President had sent in his annual message without even suggesting a course of action toward the German peace treaty the leaders of both Houses were busy with independent plans to restore the status of peace by passing a joint resolution declaring the war ended. Amazement over the President's omission to discuss the treaty or to indicate even remotely his attitude toward the existing situation was followed quickly by a determination that Congress must now take the initiative. Peace will be declared by legislative process just as soon as possible barring the possibility that the President shall veo the resolution declaring the status of peace. No incident since the President's illness forced relaxation of his grip on the executive reins has caused so much wonderment as his failure to discuss relations with the Central Powers. That had been awaited as the one supremely interesting and important feature of the message. The President's omission of the subject was made the more striking because in regard to the railroad problem he promised to communicate his views later. He did not intimate such a purpose as that in regard to the interventional problem. His casual allusion to the treaty incident to discussing domestic questions might have been written in the same words if the treaty had been ratified instead of relected last month. LODGE'S COMMITTEE MEETS. In the circumstances, with matters in Mexico rapidly tending toward a crisis on the southern border, Congress is determined that there must be an end to palcing over the European war settlement. This afternoon a group of Republican members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations met with Senator Lodge (Mass.) to consider the whole question. They were in session two hours Senator Moses, (N. H.) was delegated to confer with the Republican managers of the House regarding the outlook for passing forthwith a resolution declaring a state of peace to exist'. The resolution comes over from the last session, but today's consideration determined that it should be changed from a concurrent to a joint resolution. This will require the signature of the President. A joint resolution if passed, vetoed and then passed over the veto will have the force of legislative action, and it was deem ed host to put it in this form. Thus it would have the effect of officially terminating the war and nullifying war legislation. The Republican Senators' conference could not reach final determinations because some members were absent, but those who met were agreed that the joint resolution should be pressed soon as possible and that both Houses should be put at work on it. Senator Moses, after discussing the situation with Republican Leader Mondell (Wyo) reported that managers there believed they will be able to pass the measure in short order, Chairman Campbell (Kana) of the House Rules Committee likewise was encouraging and the disposition on the Senate side is to allow the resolution to be initiated in the House where the resolution declaring war had its legislative inception. CLOTURE RULE TO BE AMENDED In anticipation of the need for measures to forces quick action proposals were made today for amendment of the cloture rule of the Senate. The operation of the present rule during the last days of the treaty's consideration last session was not highly satisfactory and today Senator Curtis (Kans.) will introduce an amendment. This will provide that after five days debate on a question any Senator may move that debate be limited. If this be adopted by a majority vote no to exceed three hours additional debate shall be permitted. Senator Kellogg (Minn.) is sponsoring another p'an. After three days of unrestricted discussion of a question he would make it possible to adopt a limitation rule by which no Senator should have more than an hour more on the question and all amendments to it; provided also that no single Senator should be entitled to a total of more than six hours in the debate both before and after the adoption of the limitation. These proposals are in line with the determination to enable the upper chamber to transact the vast amount of business before it. There have been threats of filibustering against the railroad bill, the resolution to declare peace and other matters pending. It is realized that the attempted amendment of the cloture rule may itself precipitate a fill-buster by the Democrats but the Republican leaders are of the opinion that they will be able to establish a procedure under which the difficult and highly controversial issues now before the Senate may be disposed of.

Some of the Iude and Shocking Surprises One Receives When He Sets Out to Find a Place Where He Can Park His Furniture. Recorded Sympahetically and more or less truthfully by (James J. Montague.) You remember the poor real estate agent who had to be a notary public to help out, and who painted his own "For Rent" sign? He usually had desk room in somebody else's place and agilely stepped out of the back door when the bill collector came in the front door. You always used to feel sorry for him. Well you don't need to feel sorry for him any more. He's got an office with mission furniture and a filing cabinet in it, two s enographers and a clerk. When you want to see him he's usually out on the golf course taking 'lessons' from the professional He's being urged to run for Mayor to save the city from ring politics and people who used to call him "Bill" call him miser. I went to see him the other day, Some friends from a Western city wanted a house in our suburb. His clerk said he wasn't in and listened languidly when we stalled our business. 'No use,' said the clerk, "we aint got nothing to rent." 'Not a single house in town?' 'Nope.' That seemed final, and we were about to leave when Bill came in. He was in a hurry but he listened to us. "I've got just one house for $600," he said. That sounded reasonable. My friend and his wife looked at each other hopeful'. I guess we can pay that, said my friend. How do we pay it? Monthly in advance. What kind of a house? Ten rooms, three baths, two-car garage. Gee! That's some house to get for $50 a month. I thought houses were high around here. Bill lost interest. Six hundred dollars a month, not a year, he said. We went away from there. At another office down the street we found a house listed for $100. Making sure that it was $100 a month not a week we went to see it. The family that occupied it was about to move out. The lady showed us the house. Of course she said, if you have just got to have a house, like we did, I suppose you can live here. There isn't any water in the kitchen, the furnace won't heat but one room at a time, the roof leaks in five or six places, there is a foot of water in the cellar after every rain and the landlord won't make any repairs. I'm not saying, any hing against the house, you understand. It will do if you have to have a roof. But you'd probably freeze to death or die of matria if you took it. And I forgot to mention that it's full or rats. We cast no lingering, longing look behind as we left. As we walked down the street I happened to remember about Jones's place. Jones I knew, wanted to sell it. He had bought it tour or five years ago for $3,000. It wasn't much of a house and there was only a pocket handkerchief lot in front of it. It ought to be a bargain. I telephoned Jones and he referred me to a real estate man. I promised him I wouldn't sell it except through him," he said. So we went to the real estate man. He was in a hurry like the other real estate man but he paused long enough to look up the house in his card index. Fifteen thousand dollars, cash, he said. But the place only cost three thousand, and I said. That was three years ago. Houses are up. If you want it you'll have to hurry, because four or five other people are after it. I'll close with one of them this afternoon sure. Do you want 1? We didn't. I think said my friend, that it would be cheaper to build a house. Then we can have it just as we want it. Do you know any builders? I knew a couple of them and we went to see them both. They were not encouraging. As nearly as we could learn from their conversation the value of a do'la in the building business was about $0.0275. The first man said he had so much to do anyway that he couldn't under take any new contracts before next August. The second said that what with labor strikes, slow deliveries of material and general shortage of everything a builder needs he'd only take the job on a cost plus basis. What does that mean? You buy all the materials, pay all the labor and I take 20 per cent for doing the work. What would you build me a nice little seven-room house for? Inquired my friend. The builder covered a blotter with figures, added them up and repiled: I could build you a very nice house of that size for fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars." So we gave it up. It was necessary for my friend to remain in the metrop ol's over the winter. So he rented a lot on the outskirts of the city and bought a tent. (The New York World.) DO YOU KNOW THEM?

Mrs. Colvin was a member of the Deacon Board of her church and highly recommended. Rev. James, the late pastor, spoke of the unfettering trust that Mrs. Colvin had in the Lord Jesus to take care of her. He used the 23rd Psalm, 4th verse as a text. The Rev. W. W. Hicks of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church read the Scripture lesson and offered a very forcent prayer for the waiting congregation and the bereaved family. The cheir gave that bournish selection "Abide With Me." Rev James very bau tifully portrayed the life of this noble Christian mother, wife and land. The black cloth casket was covered with beautiful flowers, bespeak ing the high esteem in which the church and community held her. Mrs. Lucy Stratton by request of the family rendered "Some Sweet Day" She leaves to mourn their loss, a faithful and owing husband, three daughters, two sons, two grand children and a host of friends who will be frequently reminded of her lovable Christian life.

Church delivered to his audience Sunday night at 8:30. His text was St. John 11:44 The Reverend showed how many a Christian man and woman was bound to this world and the things of this world and were not willing to lose our hold on earthly possessions to obtain a heavenly reward for obedience to his commandments to love Him more than these earthly, perishing things. Sunday was communion at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. The service was well attended, noon and night. There were 159 commendants and a collection of $59.00; three conversions; the month's collection, $349.00, with the church under repairs. The work has been hindered because of the weather. Mrs. Young, of 801 Norfolk Ave. who has been sick, is much improved at this writing. Mr. W. O. Stanfield, over Tinker Creek, hurt his hand last Saturday, disabling him for service the past few days.

The regular monthly meeting opened with song and prayer after which the President Madam M. E. Pem made her monthly statements and roll was called. To have heard the different members responding so encouragingly about what they had given for the poor and afflicted was enough to inspire the weakest member. The collection was even the largest in several months, $22.75. The number present was 38. The next on program, of course, was the social part and the ladies were forced to contess that Mr. Jones certainly did credit to the occasion. The menu was served in four courses: First course, shrimp salad, salteen crackers, olives, pickles, pimento served with cheese sandwiches; second course, pumpkin pie, service a la carte; third course, ice cream, plain cake, chocolate cake, cocoanut cake; fourth course, hot chocolate with a bonnevee. Mr. Jones holds the distinction of being the first and only man to entertain the circle so far. Thev. James S. Hatcher, B. D., spoke to his congregation on the worlds greatest subject: The Christ, the Church and the Kingdom, and proved to a listening audience that beyond contradiction it was the subject in the History of the World.

There was a "Union Thanksgiving service he'd between the A. M. E. and the St. Paul M. E. Church in which a very profitable discourse was delivered by Rev. J. S.

Parents are asked to see that their children re-register. Any member falling to re-register as is requested by the church will no longer be a member of this church. Hoping that every member will see the importance and re-register at once I remain. COURRED MINISTERS AND THE INTERACTIVE AGENT. Editor Mitchell, Lewisville, Virginia. Dear Editor—Please allow me space in your valuable paper to express a degree of satire as to why a representative number of the Colored Ministry did not attend the conference of the In church-World Move meat held at the Loud Street M. E. church (white) Richmond, Va., on the 3, 4, and 5th inst. I can account for the out of town brethren who did not attend on the grounds of unduly short notice, but for the local brethren I cannot except for the recent humiliation they sustained relative to the Trotter lecture there not long since by the civil authorities, and by the unfraternal arrangement of the local committee (white) in connection with the Billy Sunday campaign held there about a year ago, ap proximately. But I trust the (colored) brethren will not allow any wrong perpetrated against them, however humiliating it may be, to occasion them to manifest the retaliating spirit, knowing the teaching of our Lord and Master on this particular point. For by their failure to attend, for whatever reason they missed one of the rarest treats which they have had the privilege to enjoy for a season. Yes, my brethren failed to avail themselves, for some cause I know not what, of one of the rarest literary repass that they'd the chance to enjoy for a season, for they had a most splendid outlined program, touching on the paramount issues of the interchurch need of today irrespective of denomination, race or creed, which subjects were introduced by some of the most able divines white pastors in the country, then for allowed a free for all discussion of those present in which the writer participated freely. This movement is not altogether new. It seems to have had its origin in the Foreign Mission board of the Southern Presbyterian church about fifteen years ago and thus invitation of this board to similar boards of other churches a commission convened to smooth out certain outstanding denominational relation over which they could not very well work together for the general advancement of Christ's kingdom. The limitation seems to have been to the (white) church. But the recent war and the conditions obtained since the signing of the Armistice, the great unrest in the industrial, political, social and religious world seem to have given en to it a new significance which occasioned a meeting, of the prime movers of the movement, to enlarge its program and broaden its scope so as to take in all of the problems now hard of solution confronting the human family. THE PROGRAM 1st. The significance of the Interchurch World's Movement. 2nd. Social unrest and its implication for the church. 3rd. Some paramount national is sues. 4th. The ultimate need of the world. And others too numerous to mention, among which is one entitled the Foreign Mission survey and another The Stewardship Message, the latter two and the second one are three which we the colored ministry needed to have discussed with our while bre'hren without restriction or limitation especially the second topic. I am fortunate in that I had a list of the brethren in the state furnished me who were invited, both in Tidewater and Piedmont sections. And I do hope that the Piedmont brethren will attend the Lynchburg conference on the 10, 11 and 12th inst., and also some of our brethren from this section who were invited to the Richmond conference and failed to go will at end. I stand brethren for the united up lift of our unfortunate fellows, whether they be white or black and a cooperative ministry irrespective of race or denomination. Let our motto be then "We lift to climb" remembering that God has said "We shall not see my face except your brother be with you." PHILLIES WHEATLEY BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

Dear Editor, please allow me space in your valuable paper to express a degree of suspense as to why a representative number of the Colored Ministry did not attend the conference of the In church World Move meet held at the Load Street M. E. Church (white) Richmond, Va., on the 3, 4, and 5th inst. I can account for the on of town brethren who did not attend on the grounds of unduly short notice. But for the local brethren I cannot except for he recent humiliation they sustained relative to the Troter lecture there not long since by the civil authorities, and by the unfraternal arrangement of the local committee (white) in connection with the Billy Sunday campaign held there about a year ago, ap proximately. But Trust the (colored) brethren will not allow any wrong perpetration against them, however humiliating it may be, to occasion them to manifest the retaliating spirit, knowing he teaching of our Lord and Master on this particular point. For by their failure to attend, for whatever reason they missed one of the rarest treats which they have had the privilege to enjoy for a season. Yes, my brethren failed to avail themselves, for some cause I know not what, of one of the rarest literary retract that they'd the chance to enjoy for a season, for they had a most splendid onlined program, touching on the paramount issues of the interchurch need of today irrespective of denomination, race or creed, which subjects were introduced by some of the most able divines white pastors in the country, then followed a free for all Discussion of those present in which the writer participated freely. This movement is not altogether new. It seems to have had its origin in the Foreign Mission board of the Southern Presbyterian church about fifteen years ago and thus invitation of this board to similar boards of other churches a commission convened to smooth out certain outstanding denominational relation over which they could not very well work together for the general advancement of Christ's kingdom. The limitation seems to have been to the (white) church. But the recent war and the conditions obtained since the signing of the Armistice, the great unrest in the industrial, political, social and religious world seem to have given to it a new significance which occasioned a meeting of the prime movers of the movement to enlarge its program and broaden its scope so as to take in all of the problems now hard of solution confronting the human family. THE PROGRAM 1st. The significance of the Inter- church World's Movement. 2nd. Social unrest and its implication for the church. 3rd. Some paramount national issues. 4th. The ultimate need of the world. And others too numerous to mention, among which is one entitled the Foreign Mission survey and another The Stewardship Message, the latter two and the second one are three which we the colored ministry needed to have discussed with our while brehen without restriction or limitation especially the second topic. I am fortunate in that I had a list of the brethren in the state furnished me who were invited, both in Tidewater and Piedmont sections. And I do hope that the Piedmont brethren will attend the Lynchburg conference on the 10, 11 and 12th inst., and also some of our brethren from this section who were invited to the Richmond conference and failed to go will at end. I stand brethren for the united up lift of our unfortunate fellows, whether they be white or black and a cooperative ministry irrespective of race or denomination. Le' our motto be then "We lift to climb" remembering that God has said "Ye shall not see my face except your brother be with you." -A. S. GEORGE PHILLIES WHATLEY BRANCH Y. W. C. A. During the pass week the work of the Y. W. C. A., has been moving along well. Sunday evening the Vesper audience was large as usual. The speaker on this occasion was from Union.

CHARLES YOUNG SPEAKS HERE THE BRAINY WEST POINTER AD DRESSES RICHMOND AUDIENCE. An Intellectual Treat—the Civization of the Black Man—Will Go To Africa. --- Col. Charles Young of the United States Army reired spoke at the True Reformers' Hall here, Friday night, December 5th to a large and appreciative audience, despite the fact that the admission fee was thirty-five and two y- cents, Attired in the regulation uniform of the regular army, he presented a picture-esque figure as he appeared before the people. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., presided. He had never before met the distinguished typical Ohioan, who had created such a sensation among the colored folks, when the military authorities had him sent to the hospital at Presidio, California on account of alleged high blood pressure. AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING Editor Mitchell had written editorial after editorial in his behalf and when he met him behind the scenes that night, he elapsed him to his breast and hugged him. Prayer was offered by Reel, J. H. McGrew in lieu of Dr. J. E. Jones, who was suffering with throat trouble. Then Rev. Dr. W. H. Stokes proceeded to introduce the distinguished visitor, who spoke on "The Negro's Cultural Contribution to American Life." Col. Young did not subscrib to the statement that the Negro had made such great progress since his introduction into this country as a slave. A UNIQUE POSITION. He took the unique position that the Negro was already civilized when he was brought here. In fact the black man's civilization anteceded that the white man. He proved this by extended citations for white authors, some of whom were bitter enemies to the Negro and who had radical antipathies to them in every way. He showed 'hat in Africa, in the Southland, Negroes had a form of Government of anything superior to our own. He declared that socialism and all of the questions pertaining thereto had been settled by the Negroes in Afreca. He said that every body there worked. The men were un der their own chefs and chamberlains and kings and that they had no fails and penitentiaries. If a member of the family could not be controlled that member was put out of the way. NEVER IN WANT. He declared that the Negroes in Africa were never in want. There was a public granary that furnished all of the people. He then discussed the Negroes in Haiti and commented upon the wonderful ability of Christophe, one of L'Onvertures' ablest genials, who at one time was a cook. His works of art may now be seen in that remarkable country. Col. Young dealt with the habits of the Negroes in this country, with their intimate fealances and disposition to attack and criticise each other and with their lack of race pride. He cited individual evidences of their progress, quoted from Paul Laurence Dunbar's works and paid a glowing tribute to the able editor of the New York Crisis, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. TO GO TO LIBERIA. He urged all colored people to join the American Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He urged the colored people to be careful in their conduct, while avoiding cringing or the sacrifice of manhood rights. He had been assigned to duty in Liberia, where the people took plenty of time for everything. It was "tomorrow" over there always in convention of the American style of Hurry-up! Hurry-up! If Colonel Youngg had ever been affected by high blood-pressure, he gave no indication of it that night. He spoke about one and a half hours and, at the conclusion "still going'rong." A BANQUET TENDERED HIM He was applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. Mme. C. Bernard Gill- pin sang two solos in her inimitable style and the audience was delighted. The benediction was announced by Rev. Dr. W. H. Stokes and friends gathered about the remarkable character who has the unique distinction of being the only Fied Colonel in the regular United States Army prior to his retirement and even now he is on specially assigned duty by the War Department. A Laquee was tended him at Morris' Cafeteria and here too, he was the center of attraction. TRAINING AFRICANS Col. Young left the city Saturday morning, 6 h inst., without being able to visit the many enterprises in this city. He came by the Planet Office on his way to the train. In speaking of the work in Africa, he said that he was to organize a front army of about 1,200 men. He found that the civilized men in Liberia were for the most part unfit for military service. He would recruit his men from those in the native state right out of the Jungle and he could have them fit for service in about three montains. Three officers of the expeditionary forces would accompany and assist him in the work. THE QUESTION OF OFFICERS He got his officers from the student class in Liberia and he would also devote his time to the establishment of a force of militia as the Liberian laws provided that every male citizen must bear arms. Co, Young is the essence of vigor and acivity. His step is elastic and he loses the military bearing of a trained soier. He related many amusing in cidents and showed that he was a student of history. He expressed himself as being under obligations to the colored press and the leaders, who had espoused his cause and won for him the recognition that he now enjoys. AN INVITATION EXTENDED When he vaulted into the automobile last Saturday morning waving an anacus, he extended to the editor an invitation to call upon Mrs. Charles Young at Wilberforce. Ohio should he find himself in that locality assuring him of a hearty welcome in the Young home in that historic town in the State of Ohio.

(COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG, Retired, Will Sall to Liberia as Attaché to the American Connate to Monrovia BIG LABOR RALLY AT NEWPORT NEWS. VIRGINIA. Newport News, Va., Dec. 8—President John Mitchell, Jr., of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond spoke here yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist Church to the local branches of the National Brotherhood Workers of America. Addresses were made by President T. J. Pree and National Organizer, Green of Portsmouth, Va. Secretary W. B. Thomas had charge of the meeting. Rev. Dr. A. A. Galvin who has recently taken charge of the church was present. Mr. Mitchell spoke for forty minutes 'o the infinite satisfaction of all present. He discussed the labor situation so far as it relates to the colored man from every angle. UNDER THE OWN LEADERS He urged the need of organizing the colored laboring men of the coun try under their own leaders and pledged his support in their so doing. He advocated a policy of co-operation with the white laboring organizations, but in so doing he advised that it be done under their own leaders and as an independent unit. Black labor could then deal with white labor and black laborers could deal direct with white capitalists. A collection was lifted, Mr. Mitchell left yes dayday evening for Richmond. Card of Thanks. Mrs. W. I. Johnson and children wish to I. extend their heartfelt thanks to friends, neighbors and societies for the many flowers, lovely trays and tasty delicacies sent my beloved husband and our devoted father during his illness; also for the numerous and kind resolutions, costly floral de signs, stone, the handsome monument from the Under aker's Association and the sweet expressions of love and sympathy sent at death.

Editor Mitchell, My Dear Sir: I have written you many times by request of the Organizing Committee on the Black Movement to Africa and you seem to this favor the movement without a cause. The will of God must be fulfilled and the sons and daughters of Ehiopia; Israel the second must rise up and return to Africa, their native land. Therefore the committee respectfully calls upon every colored preacher in the United Sta es, Canada, Cuba and the South American countries and Islands of the sea to begin on Christmas day 1919 to preach the Pass Over to Africa of all Black men women and children. We blacks must give way to the incoming Jews and no fight them. We will have enough of fighting to do in Africa, among our own people for such is the will of God. Nothing has been done in the United States since the Civil War of 1865 to induce the Negro to remain in this Country. The preachers and others must not make radical speeches on pass treatment, it does no good, but harm. The movement to commence in 1922 or before. D. R. THOMAS, Secretary and Treasurer. Card of Thanks The Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Johnson, extend to their friends their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful tokens which they sent to them on the occasion of their Twenty-four marriage anniversary. It will be a measure to regard their expressions of congratulation as a valued treasure. ATTORNEY WILJAM HARRISON SPEAKS HERE.

On Sunday, December 7th, he delivered an address before a highly appreciative audience at the Boone-er Baptist Church. The subjects of his discourse was "The Night Pupil"—the special reference or theme was Nioedemus, a ruler of the Jews, who came seeking knowledge from the Saviour at night when his day's duties were ended. He beautifully portrayed the life and significance of the ruler's visit and hat it was he who brought the spices and with Joseph asked the body of the Savior that he might have a tomb with the rick of His death, fulfilling the prophecy in the Bible. He also practically applied the earliest purpose of the night pupils and the great good accomplished by giving a "chance" to those who are unable to attend Day School. He showed that many great men were inspired "higher life in Night Schools." His practical advice to the people along all lines of racial uplift and advancement were well received by store present. He emphasized the importance of our men to register and exercise the power of the ballot at the polls to protect their interest as American citizens in the U. S., and all felt much benefited by the talk. Lawyer Chiles was introduced by his twin brother, Col. John R. Chiles. He remained over Monday night, and heard that "Master piece of English" delivered by Judge Wm. H. Harrison at the City Audi orium and left Tuesday night for Lexington, Ky.

To The Editor of The Planet, I think I will write an essay on Negroes. I happened to see in your paper about the first of November a communication from a "lady from the north" in which she gave you a piece of her mind, so now why not let me do likewise, though I am not a lady from the orth not only a more male man. I see many funny things in print and that letter was certainly one of them. It was on a par with todays news story from London, describing the smash-up committed with an ax by a discharged Negro in a resaurant, the fellow having begun by laying his ax on a table in the cafe. A COMMON INCIDENT. In recribbing this sort of a Carriele Nation performance the London mail gravely stated: "This is a common incident in the United States. A man who is down on his back there will get an ax, go into a restaurant and lay it on a table. An ax on a table is a well-known sign to restaurant proprietors who promptly pay out $5, for they know that, while they are feturing the police the man can do infinitely more damage." Your lady from the north should therefore send her hysterical letters to he London Mall, and I hope she will not tail to mention the fact (though they are not facts but sensational nightmares she is after) that a certain per cent of these aforeseen northern women are natural horn fools. Ample proof of this statement can be wi nsed any day, on any street where I see women going around half dressed and walking on stilts. Maybe you southern women have more brains and move clothing — I don't know, but here in the raw cold air a mile high these silly girls have nothing on above the breast-bone. AN IRONICAL CONCLUSION By the way I cannot understand how the colored men in your *A lantile Coast* country came to be such a lot of wild cannibal savages far worse than the Hottentots as I can prove by that lady's startling letter and any body that disputes this must be prepared to face her great big 44-calibre gun. I thought I had had some experience in human life in general, but it has been a sad routine of monony compared with hers. She keeps a double barred lock on her door in a land where ferocious crimes are committed by Negroes almost daily, as she states. Now for my part I have not been in a place in a life-time of sixty years where I was not in the neighboring presence of the usual number of colored people—half of that period in Indiana and half in Colorado, yet I have not in a single instance known personally of a case of outrage committed by a Negro. This is an actual fact. A light-yellow mulato was hung on a telephone pole some years ago in our town on an accusation from out in the far suburbs but I knew nothing of the details except that even the suspicion against him was about as thin as a piece of skeeter netting. So much for the amusing shrinks of your female correspondent, who I hope has some kind of garb more logical and civilized than the uniform of her Mother Eve. MURDEROUS CONDITIONS THERE But if she were here in Colorado, she could certainly point to a continual string of tragedies, fully as serious as the dark picture her imagination threw upon your southern screen. Murders go on all the year round. I never saw anything like it. There has been a homicide or tragedy somewhere in the state for every week this year. It is infinitely worse than in the early times of the buffalo and Indians and gamblers. It is not necessary to give details, except to say that the mental effect upon me has been exactly the opposite of that of your lady writer. I too want to har my door—not from Negroes but from persons of certain brunette races whom I would not treat as far as I can throw a cow by the tail. They are people from certain countries on both sides of the ocean yet similar in latitude and climate where every prospect pleases but only man is vile; persons who carry either a stiletto or a knife. There are several hundred of these in this cosmopolitan city, and I am as much afraid of one treach cerous specimen of them as of the other. If I wore out on a darg night and had to mix with a bunch of them how good and thankful I would be to catch sight of a big strong black Negro coming along—the bigger and thicker, the better, because I would know its nutty he is my cloud. LEARNED MUCH But see what a lot of good paper I have been wasting before getting started on my Essay on Negroes. What I started to say was that I have earned a whole lot about people since August 14, 1914, the date of the start of the World War. Guess some other observers, including a gentleman named Wilson, have also got their eyes opened in ways that were inspiring. You cannot tell by the husk on an ear of corn what kind of grain it is, nor judge accurately as to a potato's its skin. Same way with people, especially people's minds. I have learned (as doubters did, Mr. Wilson, tinct the workings of the Lati in mind and of the Anglo-American mind are as different as those of two automobiles, a Ford and a S udobaker; or of a White and a Singer Sewing machine; or of a gasoline and a steam engine. Further. I want to say right here and now that I do not want our American rights ever to be hazarded by an arbitration in which the La in mode of thought has anything to say about it. WISHES TO SAY MORE. But this is not an essay on Negroes," says the high strung lady from the north. Yes, it is: I am running short of paper and will have to send the rest of this letter some other time (after pay day) but I can put this down on the lower edge—the workings of the minds of the Anglo-American, and of the Jew, and of the Negro are alike. Not exactly similar in method but similar in conclusions; alike in analysis and logic. When I am not so busy I would like to say more about this, some time, when the weather is good and it usually is in funny Colorado. —MCHENRY GREEN. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES Last Friday night was a high hour with the Y. M. G. A. A young man came in to enter the evening classes and after he was permitted to join our educational department, our general secretary talked to him about the greatest teacher that the world has known and found that he had never known Him but it was not long before he made a complete surrender and left the building a happy man. The Women's auxiliary was holding a meeting at the same hour and he went in and told to them the great story. (A new man in Christ.) Men live so that God can use you any time and any where. The storm did not stop the interest in the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson last Saturday many were out and helped. The boys and men of the Y. M. C. A. found themselves very active last Sunday for the other boy and man. 9:30 A. M., at the building a liv hour. The boys were a happy bunch 4 P. M., at the building and the address was a good one.

SAW PRESIDENT AT 2:30 O'CLOCK WOULD GIVE CAREFUL HEY PLANET PINDS CHIEF EXECUTIVE IS MENTALLY ALERT. Committee of Two Visits White House to Discuss Mexican Situation. WILL NOT TAKE HASTY ACTION. Wilson Says Too Many Grave Issues Involved—Jenkins' Reboose Relieves Pressure. Washington, Dec. 5.—Two Sexators delegated by the Foreign Relations Committee to confer with President Wilson on the Mexican crisis and report whether in their opinion the President by reason of his illness was unable to exercise his functions, left the White House after a conference of three-quarters of an hour with him today, agreeing that he was intouch with recent dovetops and was mentally keen enough to form judgment on the questions confronting the nation. In the midst of the conference while Senator Fall, Republican of New Mexico, was outlining the evidence on which he is urging a break of diplomatic relations the President and his calers were informed that William O. Jenkins the American consular agent failed at Puebla, had been released. The advises left some doubt as to the circumstances but the development was accepted generally as relieving somewhat relations between the two governments. (MAY SETTLE SPECULATIONS: The discussion with the President produced no definite conclusion as to Mexican relations but it was regarded everywhere as hearing on a subject of endless speculation in congress at circles, whether the long illness of the chief executive has to any extent rendered him physically incapable of the duties of the presidency. Propped up in bed, the President talked of many features of the Mexican tangle. With a right hand and arm free above the bed covers, the Senators said, he shook hands with them and took up and read papers, which were on the table beside him. He was described as weak and nervous, but it was said he jested about exaggerated reports of his illness and promised within a few days to give Congress his advice on what it should do about Mexico. PRESIDENT MENTALLY ALERT He appeared to be a sick man, said Senator Fall afterwards, but mental alert and perfectly able to cope with question with which he might have to deal. He appeared to me, certainly in as good mental condition as any man could be after being ill for nine or ten weeks. The other delegates of the committee, Senator Hitchcock, Democrat of Nebraska said the President seemed greatly improved since he saw him two weeks ago. My opinion is that he has been a very sick man but is improving. said Senator Hitchcock. He has a pretty good idea of the Mexican situation and although he did not give a final decision on the subject, he indicated that too many serious considerations were involved to warrant any hasty action." The conference with the President which the Foreign Relations committee decided to request yesterday after Secretary Lansing had told it that he had not seen his chief during the recent Mexican negotiations was quickly arranged this morning when the two Senators got into touch with the White House. They were told that if they considered it urgent to see Mr. Wilson they would be permitted to do so. An appointment accordingly was arranged for 2:30 in the afternoon. As the callers arrived, they were met by Dr. Grayson, and Mrs. Wilson who conducted them to the sickroom, asked how long they might remain, the President's physician replied that he won't leave that entirely to the judgments of the two visitors. Mrs. Wilson remaining in the room through out the conference. GIVES CONFERENCE DRAMATIC TURN. Announcement of the Jenkins release it was, said by those present, gave the conference its only dramaturn. The news was telephoned to the White House after the two Senators had arrived and was communicated to Dr. Grayson by Secretary Tumulty. Returning to the sick room white Senator Fall one of the bitterest critics of the administration's past policy toward Mexico, was in the midst of his argument for a diplomatic break. Dr. Grayson informed the President that Jenkins had been set free. All of those present expressed gratitude at the news, and then Senator Fall resumed his statement. He is chairman of a subcommittee which has investigated the whole subject of Mexican relations and he told the President of much of the evidence turned up by the inquiry, especially regarding the alleged activities of mostian officers in spreading Bolshevist propaganda in this country. JIVES RESOLUTION TO FRESIDENT. Senator Fall also gave the President a copy of his resolution asking that diplomatic recognition of Carranza be withdrawn. This resolution now is before the Foreign declarations Committee which meets again Monday to act upon it. It was said the President expressed no final judgment regarding it but indicated he would give his advice to the committee of to Congress by the end of the week. When he returned to the Capitol Senator Fall was surrounded by his Republican colleagues, who sought news of the conference. He also saw Henry P. Fletcher, American ambassador to Mexico and sent to the White House an abstract of the results of the subcommittee's investigation, requested by the President. He had indicated he might make this public to night, but decided not to do so for the present. CONFERENCE ENTIRELY FRIENDLY. Much of the substance of this abstract it was said was given to the President today by Senator Fall who did most of the talking. The whole conference was declared to have been of the most friendly nature, the President closing it with a story about an Irishman who when asked whether he thought the United States would take Mexico replied: "I think we will. It's so contagious to us." Senator Fall gave a detailed account of the White House visit. He said: Dr. Grayson received them and took them to the President's bed room where Mrs. Wilson shook hands with each Senator. Then the President shook hands with each of us." Senator Fall continued. He was lying on his back. His shoulders were propped up slightly. His bed was in a shaded portion of the room. He greeted us pleasantly and while his articulation seemed somewhat thick, during the entire conference, I could understand perfectly every word he said. I think he was covered up to his chin, with his right arm out. I sat a little to one side and slightly below him, near a table and he frequently turned his head to talk to me. He also reached over the table several times to secure papers on it. Asked regarding the President's physical appearance, Senator Fall said he was "not an expert," but would not judge that the executive had lost any weight. He continued that Senator Hitchcock opened the discussion by stating that he personally had nothing to present but accom panied Senator Fall who desired to submit some information. OUTLINES REASONS FOR BREAK I told the President that I didn't care to fatigue him," said Mr. Fall I sketched as rapidly as possible the work done by our subcommittee and gave him hastily some of the reasons why I thought this government should break off relations with Mexico. I asked him if he had a copy of my resolution, and he reached over on the table and picked up a copy. The President asked me if I would give him a memorandum in writing covering my statement and I agreed to send it at once. He asked many questions and displayed a general knowledge of conditions, recent as well as past. He indicated perfect comprehension of the points I was asking. "I told him that I desired to assure him of my desire to co-operate with him in Mexican matters as far as I could conscientiously. He picked up the copy of my resolution, and asked: I suppose you want to have me give some opinion on this? I said that was the purpose and he then asked if I would supply him with the written memorandum. He said he was much interested and would give it his careful attention. He didn't say when or how he would communicate with us. The President seemed generally far militar with Mexican affairs, and said he didn't know the details." Mr. Wilson according to Senator Fall had an idea that the subcommittee's report was in readiness and Mr. Fall explained that the inquiry probably would not be completed for several months and that a report was improbable before next June. Asked directly if he was satisfied with the President's condition and his ability to handle the Mexican situation Senator Fall countered. "Do you mean his mental condition?" 'Yes sir,' he replied, 'entirely so.' DECIDEDLY ON THE MEND. Senator Hitchcock who told the same story of the conference said the President had seemed in a very cheerful mood and decidedly on the mend. His color was good, he said, and his facial appearance normal. Although he had not seen secretary Lansing since he became ill, the Senator said Mr. Wilson had seen other members of the cabinet and was doing an increasing amount of work daily. After the conference, Dr. Grayson said, the visit said the visit apparently had done the President good and that he seem to have enjoyed it. The physician added that he had aranged for his patient to remain in for the conference because he had been up for some time during the morning and it was desired to guard THE MICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA against tiring him too much. ELEASD RELIEVES STRAIN. The news of the release of Jonkins was given varying interpretations in official and congressional circles. State Department officials had no comment to make upon i. In the absence of more detailed information, but Senator Hitchcock and other Democrats in Congress declared it seemed to relieve the strain that had been placed upon relations wih Mexico, and to bear out their position that the Senate and House should keep hands off until the State Department had had an oppor unity to determine whether Carranza would heed its warning in regard to American citizens and their rights. A break in diplomatic relations, Senator Hitchcock argued, might give Carranza an excuse for setting aside the coming presidential election and resuming a dictatorship. MAY MEAN NEW MEXICAN POLICY Senator Fall and other Republicans said they hoped the outcome of the Jenkins incident meant that Carranza had determined 'o adopt a new policy toward American interests, but pointed out that other grievances still existed. Much significance is attached by Senator Fall 'to the evidence regarding alleged radical propaganda by Mexicans in the United States and he said he would lay before the President photocallic copies of letters by Mexican officials indorsing such a campaign. One of these letters, he said was signed by President Carranza. THE FOURTEENTH DECENNIAL CENSUS OF THE U. S. A.

It is in conflict with the right of our people to govern themselves free from all restraint, legal or moral, of foreign powers. It challenges every tenet of my political faith." "We who have supported the Lodge reservations have sought nothing save the tranquility of our own people and the honor and independence of our own Republic. No foreign flattery, no possible world glory and power have disturbed our pulse or come between us and our devotion to the traditions which have made us a people or the policies which have made us a nation, unselfish and commanding." "If we have erred, we have erred out of too much love for those things which from childhood we have been taught to revere. If we have erred, it is because we have placed too high an estimate upon the wisdom of Washington and Jefferson, too exalted an opinion upon the patriotism of the sainted Lincoln.

Richmond, Va. --- facial character and respectability But the shame of it is that our young that would lift itself as high above women, our school boys, and Jim Crowism and discrimination on girls would rather be lined up in a THE JIM CROW NEGRO. The Jim Crow Negro is an abnormal product of our environment. He is a little less than a monstrosity. He has a peculiar conception of his own importance and is a mistress in the economy of race painting. He has a peculiar idea of self-respect and lives most largey in the realm of the superficial. He rather seem than to be and has but little conception of real man or womanhood. It was no less a personage than the late Chas. R. Pendleton, editor of the Macon Telegraph, who some years ago in replying to the charge of the Independent against Jim Crowism, admonished the editor that so long as the Negro grows Jim Crow Negroes there would be a fertile field for the development of Jim Crow character. He encouraged that if the Negro was self-respecting enough to boycott and stay away from places closed to him on account of his race or color that there would be no Jim Crow facilities built for the accommodation of Jim Crow Negroes in theatres, elevators, restaurants, hotels and other places of public comfort; but so long as the Negro wad ed through muddy alloys to reach the buzzer roost in white theatres, white men would build Jim Crow lofts and partitions for the accommodation of Jim Crow characters. Editor Pendleton contended that the trade built accommodations and facilities for public service according to the ideals and respect of the people to whom it catered; that if the Negro would stay out of the back alloys, theatre lofts, Jim Crow elevators, Jim Crow cars and mercantile places out of self-respect for his manhood that those who wanted the patronage of the Negro would furnish accommodations and facilities according to the standard set by the self-respecting Negro. The late Senator E. W. Carmack, of Nashville, Tenn., editor of the Tennessee, commenting on the Independent's fight against Jim Crowlaws admonished the editor that our fight was pitched against a condition supported and made possible by race pa tronage and that we could accomplish more if we would direct our fight against the Jim Crow product in the race and build up a respectability and manhood within the race that would scorn any accommodation offered it on the ground of race, color or previous condition of servitude. He too, agreed with Mr. Pendleton, that if there were no Jim Crow Negroes there would be no Jim Crow accommodations and that our remedy did not lie in fighting the Jim Crow institution, but in building a Read The Richmond Planet the grounds of race or color as the white man is above socializing with the black man. Jim Crowism flourishes most largely among the so-called educated Negroes. I. has but little growth among the common people. It is the profesional Negro, the college boy and girl, the school man and the idle, educated misfits who infest every community in which Negroes live. The Negro in overalls or who follows the usual industrial and economic employment is not the class who infest the buzzard roost and crowd the rats and mice out of their holes in order to see a play, but it is usually the society Negro woman and man. It is a common thing in southern cities to see the back alleys to white theatres filled with Negro theatre parties and the police lining them up like mules one behind the other under threats and curses. It is a common thing to see large numbers of the junior and senior classes from our colleges infesting back alleys among news boys; other rabble scuffling for a place in the line to reach the buzzard roost by the way of the back door. It is not an uncommon thing to see our doctors, school teachers and what-nots in full dress and our women in full evening dress with ten dollar bouquets in their hands climbing in the white man's theatre through the back alleys. It is not an uncommon thing for the policemen in lining up the rabble in the back alleys to place the Negro school "marm" or Negro college girl fifteen feet away from her beau. But none of this humiliation seems to discourage or arouse in our educated people that manliness and self-respect necessary to grow up among us a self-respecting and decent man and womanhood. When you question these educatedools about the example they set, they tell you we have nowhere else to go to see a first-class play. They forget entirely that the white man would not have a place in the theatre box or in the pit, if he did not unite and cooperate together long enough to provide a play house with decent accommodations. Many of these educated misfits, who disgrace our colleges, the professions and the race, could have a box or a front seat in a Negro movie house or theater if they elected to do so; but the Jim Crow Negro can not rise above his training. Therefore he would rather have a place in a white theater among the rats and mice in the loft than to have a box or front seat in a Negro theater. Yes, the Jim Crow Negro would rather enter the back door of a white theater through an alley than to enter the front door of a Negro play house on the most important thoroughfare of any southern city. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA back alley, cursed and jerked around by a policeman than to come in the front door of a play house prom ed by their own kith and knn. There are some Jim Crow conditions excusable. Where it is absolutely necessary to ride on the train for the purpose of attending to business or making a necessary trip, a Negro can be excused for accepting such conditions as afforded him; but there is absolutely no excuse except a lack of self-respect for the college boy and girl, our professional men and school teachers, and society folk to visit white play houses that discriminate against them and deny them admission in the front door. There is only one explanation and that is that class of Negroes who patronize the buzzard roosts, in white theaters and who squand around white soda fountains and candy houses that do not cater to Negroes and eat ice cream and candy in the streets like dogs are fundamentally lacking in self-respect and every other element of real man and womanhood.

HAROLD CLAYKE. CARPENTIER HANGS K. O. ON JOE BECKETTS CHIN. Wins Heavyweight Title of Europe in One Minute and Fourteen Seconds. AIDS OPPONENT TO CORNER Englishman Did Not Know What Hit Him Until Seconds Said "Joe, You Are Out"—Many Nobles Attend London, Dec. 4. Georges Carpentier the French fighter, won the heavy weight championship of Europe here tonight by defeating Joe Beckett champion of England. Carpentier knocked out beckett in the first round after one minute and fourteen seconds of fighting. After the bout Carpentier said: "I have the same blow for Jack Dempsey." The men entered the ring at 9:44 o'clock. Both were heartily received Carpentier, however getting a slight ly better reception than Beckett. The fight began at 9:54 o'clock. After a short handshake the men faced each other. Carpentier smiled cofidently. The first blow was landed by Carpentier. It was a short jab. It did no damage. Beckett sent a swift upper cut but the Frenchman easily dodged it. They sparred in the middle of the ring. Then Carpenter quickly stepped in and caught Beckott on the chin with a terrific right unpercut. Beckott lurched forward and fell out on his face. He was completely out. FRENCHMAN HELPS CARRY BECKETT. Carpentier watched Beckett intently as the referee tolled off the seconds. At the "fateful ten" the French man sprang forward, raised the men in his arms and lifted him into the arms of his seconds who carried him away. Beckett's eyes opened as this was done and his second said to him: "Joe, you're out." Beckett was unable to understand it all for a moment but he seemed to comprehend when the crowd began to invade the ring. Carpen ier was hoisted to the shoulders of the first of the crowd that reached him. Everybody in the stadium cheering, including the Prince of Wales, while tens of thousands of persons who had gathered outside in the street were shouting their tribute to the victor. Peers and peeresses, members of the House of Commons, high officials of state and many women most of them in evening dress, attended the fight. The only effort made by Beckett in the fight was to cut loose a vicious uppercut with his right after he had received the first jab to the face. The blow missed by more than a foot. VICTOR CARRIED FROM RING Carpentier was carried from the ring on the shoulders of his admirers amid a hurricane cheer. London sporting writers today had dubbed the contest as a battle between Adoris and the Buldog on account of the physical features of the two fighters. Before entering the ring this evening, Beckett made the following statement to the Universal Service correspondent: "All I need is to be fit and I feel sure that I am that. I feel that I can beat anybody. Of course ring luck is a consideration, but if it is equally distributed between Carpentier and myself, I feel confident of winning, no matter how fast and clever a box or Carpentier is, and I am willing to admit that he is both. I have spent every minute of the past month in sitting into condition and if I lose will have no excuses to offer for I is never in such good condition." CHAMPION WAS OPTIMISTIC Carpentier also talked freely heave donning the mitis for the battle. "The last few days involved every ring—added fame, fortune and the utilization of ambitions long cherished," the French champion declared. "They have hurt more than the most terrible fight I have ever gone through. In a short time I will meet the greatest champion that England has raised in years and I know how eager he is to win. It would have suited me far better to have fought a few hours after my arrival in England." Men who heard Carpentier talk thought that he intended to convey the impression that he was overgained and had gone a bit state, but there was nothing in his appearance to support that belief. He looked to be in perfect shape. This is my greatest adventure, he went on with a smile, 'even considering the war. When I stand up with Beckett I am facing a man who is pre-nounced the best and strongest fight er with whom I have ever been matched, I am allowing him more than four teen pounds in weight. My fight will be the fight, one in five years. But I have no misgivings. I am not concerned with the pity of the crowd which while seeing cannot see what is in my heart. But if I go down to defeat I will be satisfied that one of the greatest British knights the greatest British pugilists of all times has won." GOLD IN LONDON IS AT 100S AN OUNCE. Reaches 10 Shillings Premium Which Bankers Consider Healthy Indication. NO PARALLEL SINCE 1813. Shows World Commencing to Reduce Huge Quantity of Paper Money. London, Dec. 2.—God went today to 106 shillings an ounce a premium of 19 shillings. One has to back to demoralized conditions prevailing in 1813 to find a parallel of that premium but it is not being overlooked by bankers that it is a healthy indication, showing that the world is commencing to reduce the enormous quantity of paper money which has caused the reign of high prices and consequent labor unrest in all countries. There is an axiom among economists, which never has been definitely explained that once gold is free and allowed to seek its best market the result will be that paper currency gradually will go into hiding. Today's price of 106 shillings is not alone a premium of more than 22 per cent, higher than gold's par value, but it is likewise one per cent higher than New York exchange which now stands at a premium of about 22 per cent. Thus, while New York exchange is in great demand, the economic policy adopted by the British government in determining to buy gold, no matter what the price gives this met al precedence over dollar credits, which theoretically are convertible in 'o gold. The buying of the yellow metal has been principally for India and the Continent. One might ask how this would reduce the amount of paper currency in England? It is a roundabout process, but paper money actually is reduced in England as the result of every sale of gold above the premium on the most adverse exchange rate, which now is that of New York. This true, because every ounce of increase in the gold reserve of any THRE country increases the buying power of that country's currency causing an equivalent reduction in the amount of credit needed to finance any give en transaction. This reduction in credit eventually finds its way into international transactions, scaling down the amount of actual money changing hands. While this is necessarily only a partial explanation, it shows that the phenomenon has set in now that corrected the demoralized state prevailing in 1813. At that time the note reserve of the Bank of England was suspended and about 500 banks were given issuing powers. A flood of paper money resulted and specie payments were suspended for a time, just as they were in the recent war. When they were resumed the price of gold bounded upward to the highest price on record 110 shillings. This gradually drove paper money out of circulation and gold, which had worked its own corrective fell correspondingly to its normal level of 55 shillings. A. M. E.

It would be well for some of these colored folks to remember that the poor-house is located in the same place, even though they may take a life-time to get there. The Government set a maximum price of 11 cents per pound on sugar and some could be obtained by buying much of something else that the purchaser did not need or want. Then the government decided that it was unlawful to compel a purchaser to buy what he did not want. Then sugar could not be obtained, at 11 cents per pound although the purchaser would have preferred to have paid 20 cents per pound for sugar and get it than to offer 11 cents per pound and not get it. Great Government this! THE WHITE LADY SPEAKS AGAIN We have received the following letter, postmarked, "Valdosta, Georgia," but written on a letter-sheet of the Piedmont Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia: Someone has favored me with a copy of the Planet. I am very much surprised to see my letter, or one purporting to be mine in print. It was written by my secretary on a wager, and neither one of us ever dreamed of its reaching anything but the waste basket. It does not represent me at all. I am no more in favor of lynching than you are. I am extremely sorry if it caused you and your people any trouble. Let it pass to the limbo of mistakes. Yours truly, MRS. J. M. GUILLIAMS. The tone of this communication is far different from the tone of those letters, which preceded it. In keeping with Mrs. J. M. GuHillams request, we shall let it pass with the others to "limbo of mistakes." RAILROAD PROFITS AND LOSSSS. The Now York Sun, in our opinion one of the ablest edited journals in this or any other country is constantly "taking the joy" out of life for the heads of the Departments of the Wilson Administration. Director-Gen. Hines, who has been operating the railroads of this country at an estimated loss of a million dollars per day according to the statistic's an announcement recently, says that during the monh h of Oct., the ridroads were operated at a profit of two million dollars to the Government' Now comes the New York Sun and it proceeds to explain that Director-General rimes did not mean what he said, although he said it. This is the diplomatic and interesting way in which that master of the English language and the present day diplomatic handles the situation: When Director-General Hines announces that the Government operated the railroads in October at a profit of itself of some $2,000,000 he does not mean, of course, that the Government made $2,000,000 more than the October rental due the owners of the railroads. As a matter of fact the railroads did not carn the October rental by millions of dollars. The confusion arises from the fact that while the standard return—the rental—approximates some $900,000,000 in a year, the standard return of two different months in the year varies enormously. While $900,000,000 a year is an apparent average of $75,000,000 a month, the standard return of the three year test period based on the actual earning performance in any given month runs all the way from $47,934,000 in February to $94,332,000 in October. Just as the railroads had to earn only $66,613,000 in January and $47,934,000 in February to make the rentals they had to earn $91,775,000 in September and $94,333,000 in October. When the roads under Government operation earned only $10,136,268 last February, the loss to the Government was not $65,000,000—the differences between $10,000,000 and one-twelfth of the annual $900,000,000 due the roads; the loss to the Government was $37,828,000. Similarly when the roads earned only $10,42,608 in March the loss to the Government was not $64,000,000; it was $57,409,000 for the actual March rental was $68,251,000 as against the February rental of $47,934,000. In the very same way the October rental actually being $43,333,000 and the reported net earnings being $77,000,000 the roads did not earn the October rental by the difference between the standard return for that month and the reported net earnings. The actual October loss therefore, was some $17,000,000. To earn the rental due in November just closed the railroads had to earn $83,536,000. The figures are not yet available; but if they earned more than that they showed a profit to the Government on the operation of the month. If they earned one penny less than that they showed a loss. On the other hand, in this month of December the standard return is $73,282,000 in this month, therefore, the roads might earn less than $75,000,000 and still if the earnings should be in excess of $73,282,000 show the Government a profit on operation. Naturally in the months when 'the railroads always make big earnings the Government has made a better showing than in th moths when the railroads always make a very poor showing. But if there has ever been a month or a week or a day in this year of 1919 when the Government has operated the railroads an actual profit—based on the stand ard return of the three-year test period, and with all proper charges made—it has yet to be discovered. What answer can be given by the head of the United States Railroad Administration to this argument? When people read these stargering figures and consider their full import, where is the individual, who would advocate government ownership of the railroads? ```markdown ``` COLORED FOLKS AND I. W. W Every effort is being made by those white people, having an antipa hy to Negroes to involve that helpless race of people in every species of deviltry devised and propagated by the white man. The latest effort in this direction is embraced in the following report: Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 9.—Enlistment of Negroes in a race war was one of the plans of the I. W. W., according to circulars seized by United States officials in recent raids on radical headquarters here. One of the pamphlets addressed to Negroes, recited a long list of alleged wrongs suffered from the whites and invited them to join the I. W. W. on a plan of equality with the white members. A smaller circular addressed to "distributors of I. W. W. liter ature," says: Extra activity in reaching the Negro is desired. We do not exactly want him in the organization, but we want him to help stir up unrest and general disorder. The Negro is rapidly rising to a high position in useful citizenship and social standing. We need to break this up. If we can disassociate him from his present tendencies, to what THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA they call good citizenship and get capital down on him, we can drop him out of the association later. The American Federation of Labor invited the Negroes to join that great organization upon a base of civil, but not social equality and many of them accepted the invitation. We do no see that it is any worse for colored citizens to join the Industrial Workers of the World than it is for white citizens to do the same thing. If the I. W. W. embraced in its membership a majority of Negroes, it would be an organization loyal to the United States Government and would not now be hounded in the Far West and upon the Pacific coas by agents of the Department of (in) Justice. The smaller circular to which a reference is made is the true attitude of the white leaders in well-nigh all of these organizations, industrial, financial or otherwise and the Negroes of this country know it. But the Negroes do not propose to be made a tool of any organization or to go into any organization with their eyes closed. If the white folks of this country will let the poor Negroes alone and practice justice and civil equality towards all American citizens, conditions will improve and prosperity will be prevalent in the land. COL. ANDERSON'S DECLARATION Governor Westmoreland Davis has been reinforced in the position he has taken relative to the fundamental principle of State's Rights. Col Henry W. Anderson, who has been abroad addressed the Richmond Rotary Club in this city last Tuesday night and the Times -Dispatch reports as follows: Two of the greatest curses of the world today are the government control of industries and a surplus of laws, Colonel Henry W. Anderson, former head of the Red Cross Mission to the Balkan states, declared last night in an address before the Richmond Rotary Club, at the Business Men's Club. Three things must happen before a return to really healthy, prosperous times can come, Colonel Anderson told the Rotarians. "First we must get our businesses back into our own hands," he stated 'Next we must stop extravagances, and lastly, we must stop individual extravagance." In his position, he is sound to the core. He is quoted further: If I am not mistaken, he continued, we face a very serious collapse in affairs at the present time. The world is not producing as much each year as it is using, and on top of this condition there is more extravagance than ever before. We've got to stop it by public sentiment, he declared. Some of his other remarks were: Leave commercial enterprises to their owners to operate. The government is best which must govern least. Thousands of people have forgotten that this is the fundamental principle of good government and in accord with the teachings of political economy. He said further: Ten million of the most productive men in the world were destroyed in the world's war, he continued. These men were the most productive in the world. He sides these, $300,000,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. Europe today is suffering from nervous shock caused by exhaustion from the war. She is living on the tuture. Vast amounts of paper money is being issued and is depreciating in value therefrom. Only Bulgaria and Germany are really working. Germany is working twelve and fourteen hours a day. And too reason for this is that neither Germany nor Bulgaria have any new territory to organize and few political troubles to sap their nation al energy. Bulgaria has practically none. Germany a few political troubles. But the rest of Europe is not working. All of the other nations have new territories whose organization is taking their time and energy and consequently little else is being accomplish ed. This was what happened to Spain. The loss of her colonies was the basis of her present prosperity. Col. Anderson is "brutally frank." He says: I do not believe that our government should loan Europe another cont. Let the financial institutions do that. By restoring the morale of Europe through non-governmental organizations such as the American Red Cross and by helping their commercial industries can we do the most good. The truth is being told by fearless men of the type of this distinguished Southerner. There is much more to be told and when the present restrictions are removed by a declaration of peace, the people of the United States will be astounded by the nature of the revelations that will be made by men, who will fearlessly "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."

Leaves Nothing in Doubt as to Methods and Settlement Details. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10.—The coal's rike is ended. The proposal made by President Wilson for settlement of the strike was accepted by representatives of the miners here in session at $25 o'clock this afternoon. The miners accepted because 'they have full confidence in the President of the United States,' an abuse his proposal "leaves nothing in doubt so far as a plan of adjustment and the details thereof are concerned." In a statement issued by the managers' officials they expressed a "profound regard for his will and judgment," and declared the President's proposal provides a "definite" concrete and practical method by which adequate consideration and a proper adjustment of their claims for an increase in wages and improved conditions of employment may be brought about." FULL FAITH IN PRESIDENT The miners in their statement declared they "are accepting the President at his word, feeling confident that he will appoint a tribunal composed of fair-minded men who will give full and complete recognition to the justice of the mine workers' claims." Acing Pres., Lewis of the United Mine Workers announced that telegraphic orders would immediately be sent to the 4,000 miners' locals through the country instructing the miners to return to work at once. An official order carrying his signatures of the miners' officials will follow the telegraphic instructions. A reconvened convention of the officials of the various miners' unions throughout the country will be called in Indianapolis as soon as the work has been fully resumed in the mines. Mr. Lewis announced, during which a full and complete explanation of the action of the officials in settling the strike will be made. LEWIS ISSUES STATEMENT Following is the announcement of the set lement of the coal strike made public by Mr. Lewis: XMAS SAVINGS CLUB OPENS DEC. 15, 1919 The United Mine. Workers' representatives agreed to accept the President's proposal as a basis of settlement of the strike. They did so because it provides a definite concrete and practical method by which adequate consideration and a propor adjustment of their claim for an increase in wages and improved conditions of employment may be brought about. The United Mine Workers have full confidence in the President of the United States and a profound regard for his will and judgment. The President's proposal differs from any proposal heretofore proposed in that it leaves nothing in doubt so far as a plan of adjustment and the details thereof are concerned. The scheme proposed by Dr. Garfield left no hope for the mine workers other than the acceptance of an increase in mining prices of 14 per cent. NEW TRIBUNAL IS SET UP. The President's proposal provides that this amount of advance is preliminary and that the tribunal which he will set up will have full authority to consider further questions of wages and working conditions a well as profits of operators and proper prices for coal, readjusting both wages and profits if it shall so decide. It further provides that the commission will have authority to settle internal questions peculiar to each district, all of high are very great importance to the mine workers. The commission will make its report within sixty days unless some insurmountable difficulties arise which prevent it from doing it and the commission will have the authority to fix the date when any award they make will become effective. 1893 14 PER CENT AWARD EFFECTIVE The President's plan further provides that upon a general resumption of operations the status quo will be maintained that is all mine workers will return to work with an increase in wages amounting to 14 per cent upon the same basis which obtained on October 31, 1919. Neither operators nor miners will be allowed to change the basis and no discrimination by the coal operators will be permitted. It was these specific features of the President's proposition which made it acceptable to the interim al officers of the United Mine Workers when submitted to them through Attorney General Palmer and Secretary Tumuly in Washington on Saturday, December 6. We are accepting the President at his word, feeling confident, that he will appoint a tribunal composed of fair-minded men who will give full and complete recognition to the justice of the mine workers' claims. Besides, it is fair to assume that the public will not only insist that full justice be accorded the mine workers but also accept the findings of the tribunal appointed by the President of the United States as a fair and equitable determination of all the issues involved.'

MAY DROP CONTEMPT CHARGES It was indicated tonight that the charges of contempt bearing of which was postponed until December 16, when it came up in Federal Court Tuesday morning will not be pushed. The government already had intimated that acceptance of the President's plan by the general committee would be considered compliance with the court's injunction against furtherance of the strike.

With the cost of the coal strike in sight the stairs canvas of conditions of American industry popped on Sunday perhaps an appraisal of the cost to the people. For lack of power mills and factories throughout the country have been closed or slowed down by the coal mines, throwing their wage careers out of employment by the hundreds of thousands, railroads and other public utilities have cut their service, with similar reductions, later. Building operations have been metered with or suspended. Business houses and market places have been forced to go on part time schedules, from the steel plant, to the automobile industry to the clothing factory and to toy shop production has been checked and payrolls have been diminished. After a month of the coal strike probably not less than 5,000,000 wage earners in the United States were being deprived of their chance and their right to earn their daily bread and butter. It the average earnings of these workers were $4 a day the coal strike was taking out of their pockets a sum to al of $20,000,000 a day. And $20,000,000 a day is at the rate of $120,000,000 a week or more than six billions of dollars a year. Another week of the strike undoubtedly would have thrown 10,000 $00 breadwinners out of work. The direct cost to hem then would have been at the rate of more than a bilion dollars a month. But the direct loss of wage earnings has not been all, perhaps not half, of what the public has suffered in dollars and cents from the coal strike and will suffer for a long time. Lost production of coal by the millions of tons, lost production of the other commodities dependent upon coal industrial stoppage or demoralization far and wide, have given a crushing blow to supply—the supply of necessaries of life—when it was insufficient before to satisfy demand. Further shortage of supply in a market already very much understocked can spell only prolongation if not multiplication of inordinate profits—for the American public to pay. It may be that before they have paid in full the bill of this indefensible bio and insufferable coal strike the wronged angered American people will find that its cost to them is comparable only with the colossal cost of a terrible war with a great foreign Power against which the nation has had to battle for its safety and existence. And nobody of judgment and sense will fail to see now, as everybody will see later, that the labor union politician who out of his selfish ambition or personal passion launches against the public steel strike or a coal strike is fixed in the mind of the American people at this hour as a common enemy no less dangerous and no more deserving of mercy than the foreign military foe that attacks the nation with fire and sword. Only the other day he talked and acted as if his foot were on the neck of the country. But after the police strike in Boston, the dock strike in New York, the steel strike in the central States and the coal strike throughout the greater part of he country with its consequences suffered from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico the American people will make short shift of him whenever he has the hardihood again to come within their reach. If the professional labor union policien is not now sized up by the organized labor of the United States as he is by the American people so much the worse for it as well as for him 1914 20th St., N.

OPEN NIGHT THE POWER WILSON FOOLED LABOR IN THE INJUNCTION SUFFE. Clayton Act Was Used in 1916 to Help to Get Vote of Workers For Democratic Ticket. Washington, D. C.,—It is the consensus of opinion in political circles in the National Capital that the Wilson Administration has irregularly lost its hold upon labor because of its use of the injunction in the coal strike after its promise, written into the Clayton antitrust act, not to do so. Just as the President in 1916 gave an implied promise to keep the country out of war and failed to do so because of circumstances which he and others had foreseen and just as he repeatedly asserted on the stump earlier in the year that the league of nations covenant would end all future wars in spite of preparation in several parts of the globe for conflict so put through Congress an injunction law which is now abandoned in face of the necessity of getting coat. Labor had for years been making a vain attempt to limit the use of the injunction by the courts in labor disputes as a means of protecting property and placing strikefor a disadvantage. In 1914 its leaders were therefore delighted when the Clayton act included the following provision: That no restraining order or injunction shall be granted by any court of the United States or a judge or the judges thereof, in any case between an employer and employees or between employers and employees or between employees, or between persons employed and persons seeking employment, involving, or growing out of a dispute concerning terms or conditions of employment, unless necessary to prevent inappropriate injury to properly, or to a property right of the party making the application for which injury there is no adequate comedy at law, and such property or property right must be described with particularity in the application which must be in writing and sworn by the applicant or by his agent or attorney." Though the war has been over for more than a year, Judge Anderson's injunction was granted because of the application of the government through the Attorney General, based upon the terms of the Lover war act to prevent any attempt to limit the production and distribution of food and fuel. It has been particularly distasteful to the mine workers he cause of the promise made in law and not kept, as because violence to property had not been resorted to and the injunction was insued even before the strike began. Miners and all union workers are therefore in consent at the Administration which made its injunction legislation one of the bases for its plea for support from labor—that and the Adamson law and "thank God for Wilson, he kept us out of war." What makes union labor all the hotter is the following statement issued by Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass: "Coal operators generally in the United States in the years 1914 and 1915 lost money when normal depletion and depreciation are taken into consideration. What is meant by this that proper item in fixing costs, is depreciation of plant and depletion of the cost or value of the coal in the ground. "In 1918 conditions were not so good in the Apalachian and central being reduced 25 to 30 per cent less competitive districts, profits generally than for the preceding year, the range being from 15 to 300 per cent on invested capital. In the West conditions in 1918 were better than in 1917, the profits in the Rocky Mountain district's ranging as high as 400 per cent on invested capital. "Unofficial figures for 1919 incomplete of course indicates that profits of the operators are less than for 1918, some of the operators claiming to have actually lost money." MEMORIATS ARE UFPHELD IN FIGHT ON TRATAX. Shields and Goro Receiver Evidence of Popular Approval at Home. Washington, Dec.—Hope on the part of President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock that Democratic unity and popular approval would flow from the defeat by the Democrats of the peace treaty as Americanized by Senator Lodge and the Republicans of the Senate has been blasted by reports which have come to the Capital from the states. Senator Shields of Tennessee, whose friends said he was taking his political life in his hands by voting with the Republican majority has resolved encomiums from his constituents and the organized business men have endorsed his course. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma another Democrat who disobeyed the President's command to vote to have the treaty just as he wanted it or kill it has gained in popular support since the 5th district of his state elected a Republican member of Congress by an overturn of 6,000 votes.

The treaty with reservations is better than the treaty without them, said Senator Hoke Smith, another Democrat who voted with Senator Lodge. "As between the treaty with the Lodge reservations and the treaty without them, I had no difficulty in reaching a conclusion. These reservations free the treaty from language of uncertainty. They take from it doubtful provision which would lead to disputes and war. To me, patriotism is above party. I cannot consent to see a treaty fashioned upon this country, if I can prevent it, which places upon this country the burden of preserving the status quo of the world. After exquisite language about "freeing subject nations" and "self determination" expressing the attitude of the United States, we practically assume under Article X the burden of maintaining the status quo, when nearly one third of the peoples of the world are subject nations under our four principal allies. I cannot vote to draft our boys for every war and to maintain the present world status. "Party obligations can never rise as high as duty to your country. I dislike to disagree with my party as sociates, but on a question of the im portance of the league I was constrained to do so. I believe that the league covenant as it stands involves such sacred rights of our country and is calculated to bring such dis tress upon our people that I would have been faithless to my oath as a senator if I had failed to vote for ratification without Americanizing reservations." --- COTHRON IS FOUND QUILTY OF MURDER. Jury at Bolair Render Vindict But Without Death Penalty Bolair, Md., Dec. 3.—After being out but 17 minutes the jury at the trial of Clarence Cothron, charged with the murder of John T. Weldon, Philadelphia chauffeur, brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, without capital punishment. When the young prisoner heard the verdict he smiled and was apparently pleased. Ponding action on a motion for a new trial the court suspended sentence. Testimony in the trial which has been in progress here since last Mon day was concluded about noon. Cothron was the only witness today and several times on cross-examination contradicted testimony he had given yesterday. Cochron never finished while giving his story of the killing of the No go although he admitted that the sight of the skeleton of the dead No go exhibited in court Monday made him a "little nervous."

Clayton Act Was Used in 1916 to Help to Get Vote of Workers For Democratic Ticket. Washington, D. C.,—It is the concessions of opinion in political circles in the National Capital that the Wilson Administration has preparably lost its hold upon labor because of its use of the injunction in the coal strike after its promise, written into the Clayton antitrust act, not to do so. Just as the President in 1916 gave an implied promise to keep the country out of war and failed to do so he cause of circumstances which he and others had foreseen and just as he repeatedly asserted on the stump earlier in the year that the league of nations covenant would end all future wars in spite of preparation in several parts of the globe for conflict so put through Congress an injunction law which is now abandoned in face of the necessity of getting coat. Labor had for years been making a vain attempt to limit the use of the injunction by the courts in labor disputes as a means of protecting property and placing strikers at a disadvantage. In 1914 its leaders were therefore delighted when the Clayton act included the following provision: That no restraining order or in junction shall be granted by any court of the United States or a judge or the judges thereof, in any case between an employer and employees or between employers and employees or between employees, or between persons employed and persons seeking employment, involving or growing out of a dispute concerning terms or conditions of employment, unless necessary to prevent irreparable injury (q. properly, or to a property right of the party making the application for which injury there is no adequate comedy at law, and such property or properly right must be described with particularity in the application which must be in writing and sworn by the applicant or by his agent or attorney." Though the war has been over for more than a year, Judge Anderson's injunction was granted because of the application of the government through the Attorney General, based upon the terms of the Lever war act to prevent any attempt to limit the production and distribution of food and fuel. It has been particularly distasteful to the mine workers he cause of the promise made in law and not kept, as because violence to property had not been resorted to and the injunction was issued even before the strike began. Miners and all union workers are therefore increased at the Administration which made its injunction legislation one of the bases for its plea for support from labor—that and the Adamson law and "thank God for Wilson," he kept us out of war." What makes union labor all the hotter is the following statement is audited by Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass: "Coal operators generally in the United States in the years 1914 and 1915 lost money when normal depletion and depreciation are taken into consideration. What is meant by this that proper item in fixing costs is depreciation of plant and depletion of the cost or value of the coal in the ground. "In 1918 conditions were not so good in the Apalachian and central being reduced 25 to 30 per cent less competitive districts, profits generally than for the preceding year, the range being from 15 to 300 per cent on invested capital. In the West conditions in 1918 were better than in 1917, the profits in the Rocky Mountain district's ranging as high as 400 per cent on invested capital. "Unofficial figures for 1919 incomplete of course indicates that profits of the operators are less than for 1918, some of the operators claiming to have actually lost money." IMMOCRATS ARE UPTREND IN FIGHT ON TRUSTY. Shields and Gore Receive Evidence of Popular Approval at Home. Washington, Dec.—Hope on the part of President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock that Democratic unity and popular approval would flow from the defeat by the Democrats of the peace treaty as Americanized by Senator Lodge and the Republicans of the Senate has been blasted by reports which have come to the Capital from the states. Senator Shields of Tennessee, whose friends said he was taking his political life in his hands by voting with the Republican majority has received encomiums from his constituents and the organized business men have endorsed his course. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma another Democrat who disobeyed the President's command to vote to have the treaty just as he wanted it or kill it has gained in popular support since the 5th district of his state elected a Republican member of Congress by an overturn of 6,000 votes. Senator Reid is now the idol of the Democrats of USB Reginall Cocoa Balm America's Greatest Hair Grower Lettics, Make Your Hair Long and Beautiful! All fiveeson Post Palliation LLC.

The treaty with reservations is better than the treaty without them, said Senator Hoke Smith, another Democrat who voted with Senator Lodge. "As between the treaty with the Lodge reservations and the treaty without them I had no difficulty in reaching a conclusion. These reservations free the treaty from language of uncertainty. They take from it doubful provision which would lead to disputes and war. To me, patriotism is above party. I cannot consent to see a treasy fashion upon this country, if I can prevent it, which places upon this country the burden of preserving; the status quo of the world. After examine language about "freeing subject nations" and "self determination" expressing the attitude of the United States, we practically assume under Article X the burden of maintaining the status quo, when nearly one third of the peoples of the world are subject nations under our four principal allies. I cannot vote to draft our boys for every war and to maintain the present world status. "Party obligations can never rise as high as duty to your country. I dislike to disagree with my party as sociates, but on a question of the importance of the league I was constrained to do so. I believe that the league covenant as it stands involves such sacred rights of our country and is calculated to bring such distress upon our people that I would have been faithless to my oath as a senator if I had failed to vote for ratification without Americanizing reservations." --- COTHRON IS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER. Jury at Belair Render Vindict But Without Death Penalty Belair, Md., Dec. 3.—After being out but 17 minutes the jury at the trial of Clarence Cothron, charged with the murder of John T. Weldon, Philadelphia chauffeur, brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, without capital punishment. When the young prisoner heard the verdict he smiled and was apparently pleased. Pending action on a motion for a new trial the court suspended sentence. Testimony in the trial which has been in progress here since last Mon day was concluded about noon. Cothron was the only witness today and several times on cross-examination contradicted testimony he had given yesterday. Cochron never finished while giving his story of the killing of the No gro although he admitted that the sight of the skeleton of the dead No gro exhibited in court Monday made him a "little nervous."
