This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. JOHN MITCHELL, JR AY 17, 1923 THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. HAPPY NEW YEAR MAY 17, 1923 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1924. VOLUME XLII, NO. 7 HA SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY SHOWS REMARKABLE BUSINESS GROWTH The Southern Aid Society of Va. Inc. is one of the outstanding enterprises of the race, as is clearly demonstrated by its unusual growth despite hardships and all forms of competition. It is rounding out thirty-two years of continuous and successful service to the race in the State of Virginia and District of Columbia. Its history is best told by giving a few figures and details in connection with its operation. The record shows that the Society has paid over $3,500,000 to policy holders for sick, accident and death benefits during the period of its operation. It has thru the practice of the greatest economy and good judgment, accumulated $700,000 in stable assets consisting of cash in banks and trust companies in excess of $175,000; nearly $500,000 invested in real estate of the highest character in the various cities of the State of Virginia and District of Columbia—in fact, the Southern Aid buildings in the larger cities are usually the most modern and best constructed buildings owned by the race in these respective places. It has invested over $100,000 in mortgages on homes and properties of members of the race, and in many instances it has saved such persons or institutions from complete ruin or loss of their holdings. They also have representative sums in bonds and stocks of a high character. The stockholders, directors, senior and junior officers and field staff represent the highest type of men and women that the race affords. Some features of this wonderful institution make it stand out in a class to itself. It has never had profit as the object of its operation, the whole thought and aim of the promoters, as well as all who have been connected therewith to date, has been to give service to policyholders and the race, and to relieve suffering and wan, in the homes of our people by teaching them self help, thrift and independence, rather than to rely on the charity of others. It has continued to write a sick benefit policy giving sick, accident and death benefits for one small premium, and it has operated in a very limited territory, and by the most intensive work in said territory, does a larger business than all but two or three of the colored insurance companies, despite the fact that the other colored insurance companies write ordinary and industrial insurance in ten to fifteen States. The successful operation of this institution has given stability and dignity to the colored home, aided in the establishing and maintaining of colored banks, colored physicians, druggists and allied businesses, and the giving of dignified and profitable employment to hundreds of colored men and women. Officers and Directors of the Society are: James T. Carter, president and general counsel; B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager; W. A. Jordan, assistant secretary-manager; Edward Stewart, B. A. Cephas, A. Washington, W. E. Baker, Charles N. Jackson, W. E. Randolph, A. D. Price, Jr PRICE, FIVE CENTS AR A VOICE FROM SWITZERLAND MAY PROSPERITY Be Yours the Coming Year. Editor of The Planet: I cannot resist the impulse to send The Planet a cutting from The London Daily sketch showing Queen Mary of England (one of the noblest and greatest ladies England and Europe has ever produced) shaking hands with an African Princess at the great Exhibition England is producing $a_1$ a little town near London. At the same time King George is seen shaking hands with an African Chief. This is all quite right and proper. God has never set any curse upon our Race. We are folks, too. Slavery was a mere accident. We shall recover from that, Englishmen were once slaves in the markets of Rome. Time brings all things to pass. Let those who have a horror of too much friendliness and too much kindness to us, the victim Race, gaze on this picture and reflect. There is no "Thus saith Lord" against such fraternizing.

SAMUEL GOMPERS AND NEGRO LABOR. Ever since public insult was tendered Frank J. Farrell, Negro delegate to the October, 1886 Convention of the Knights of Labor, held in Richmond, Va.,—a labor organization which formed a portion of the parental stock of the American Federation of Labor,—naught but antipathies blossomed in the breasts of Negro workmen in their attitude toward organized white labor, until the advent of Samuel J. Gompers, late President of the American Federation of Labor. in whose passing Negro Labor has suffered a distinct loss, notwithstanding the industrial differences which still prevail as between the two racial labor groups. It must be admitted that during his reign, g his reign, Samuel J. Gompers did sound the call of 'Peace' to the black labor forces of America. The doughy Jewish labor lead could not, of course. control all his subordinate officials; nor could he erase the Gompers country-wide prejudice of the white man, which, too, found its way into the organization of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers did, however, do much to encourage Negro Labor to organize; and he was vehement in his protests to local branches of the A. F. of L., which persisted in dealing unjustly with Negro workmen. His sentiments have been put upon record in numerous conferences which issued an invitation to membership by Negro workers. And his "fair-play" attitude has been repeatedly in evidence in conferences at which Negro labor leaders have frankly asked for full recognition for their group by the A. F. of L. At the present time, there are approximately 165 local Negro unions comprising 6,500 members. At best, this is a poor representation. so far as organized labor is concerned. Negroes comprise one-sixth of America's working masses, and should be given the full privilege of presenting their quota to the A. F. of L. Furthermore the white members of that organization should bottle up their prejudices and realize that the labor interests of one are the labor interests of all. Samuel J. Gompers, in his heart, recognized this truth. He practiced it during his long incumbency, and it is to be hoped that his successor in office will carry the program forward. flinging wide the gates and protecting the virtues of all labor, whether it be white or black. ```markdown ``` IMMIGRANT LABOR— "THEN" AND "NOW". African (black) aliens, contained in the immigrant labor group seeking employment in this country, have increased during the period 1920 to 1924 to over one per cent., as compared with one-half of one per cent. during the five years prior to the World War. These percentages are plainly indicated by figures which show that during 1920-1924, 578,158 immigrant aliens, a yearly average of 115,632 sought the fields and factories THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA By "THE CAMERAMAN." (President, News Service) of American production. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 6,622 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,324, or about one per cent. During 1910-1914, the total number of immigrant aliens admitted was 2,210,481, a yearly average of 442,096. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 9,893 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,979, or about one-half of one per cent. Seeking significant conclusions, we face the following indisputable facts: The total incoming immigrant alien labor group suffered the tremendous drop from 2,210,481 during 1910-1914, to 578,158 during 1920-1924; but the Negro content, during that comparative period, only fell from 9,893 to 6,622 and while it fell in quantity, its percentage jumped from one-half of one per cent. to one per cent. in the ratio of inclusion. The Cape Verde Islands, a Portuguese possession off the West Coast of Africa, furnished the largest number of admissions. A continuation of this trend reveals significant probabilities. With restricted immigration in force, and American Labor holding its own, it is apparent that the rise of native Negro Labor may continue its onward march to permanency and advancement. A reduction in the inflow of foreign labor, with a larger percentage of Negro aliens, means a reduced competition with foreign labor, which is of a lower standard and lesser efficiency than American labor. The many helpful programs, which are now being put into effect by American institutions which realize that Negro Labor needs ample protection and assistance, are slowly building up a lasting foundation, the purpose of which is to place Negro Labor in this country upon the same firm footing that all other labor has so long enjoyed. This is truly constructive and should stimulate the Negroes of the country to put their shoulders to the industrial wheel in such a way as to make the task one of far-reaching effect and full of permanent benefits to all concerned. ```markdown ``` WOMEN'S DILEMMA A little bird told us that the female contingent of the campaign forces which put over the Republican ticket, last November, are in a dilemma. In fact, it is being whispered 'round that their dilemma may take some of the "move" out of "movement", so far as "aspirations for service" are concerned. This situation is said to be due to the fact that the group of ladies has not made a careful study of what may be available at the pie counter; and that such few "possibilities" as have been unearthed up to this time have instantly become the target of a bevy of female aspirants, without counsel, without plan, and without organization. Added to this melting-pot of aspirant activities, the old sectional questions have developed, causing a warmth of feeling here and there, but not of the kind that produces coalition and unity of action. The campaign female folks did excellent work, from Miss Hallie Q. Brown and Mrs M. C. Lawton on down to the humble distributors of "flyers" and "squibs"; and those who were not amply rewarded in long green and yellow are not to be blamed for seeking fireside seats in the contemplated distribution of "plums". Before this event can be staged however, the legend of Rudyard Kipling as to the "Female Species" must be pigeonholed and a healthy spirit of cooperation under a we'll-defined agreement must be put into play. Surely, there's lots of work for the efficient women to seek. For instance, there's educational work relating to the advancement of Negro youth, male and female. There's in- FRANK PARKER dustrial work of fifty-seven varieties. There's health work, under Federal and State posts. There is executive work of varied descriptions. There's miscellaneous field work of many different types. Or, if there's any dilemma besetting the faithful women, it ought not to be based upon wonderment as to where to go. Rather, it might be well expended upon the question of how to go. And even this problem could be instantly swept aside by honest-to-goodness union and progress. Ladies, our hats will then be off to you; for we wish you success. ```markdown ``` NOTES OF THE NOTABLES. "Seen but not Heard"—William H. Lewis, Ed Henry and Roscoe Conkling Bruce. Hon. William C.

This Week By Arthur Brisbane Ma and Pa Take A Rest and Go Traveling En route: Middle-aged women on this train have beautifully quiet, peaceful faces. Consider the couple sitting across the aisle in the dining car. They come from a farm, their hands and complexion show it. The light and fire are dim in his pale gray eyes. Many weary miles his feet have walked behind the plow and the harrow; many miles he has driven over bad roads in a slow, rocking buggy to and from the town. His shoulders are bent by heavy weights, and worry has left deep wrinkles. But that is over, the life of hard work has brought its reward. The children are settled. She sits next to the window, looking out at the kind of country, she has known for fifty years. Big two fields, stretching away to the horizon. Stacks of straw that would be worth $30 a ton in the city, but it doesn't pay to ship them, houses in the hollow where the cold settles, trees planted to break the force of the wind from the north. Her face is peaceful, happy as she rests with her hands in her lap. For the first time in her life there is nothing that she ought to be doing. Earnest, patient, calm and beautiful is her face, as she looks out at the changing scene. And still more beautiful her expression, as she takes the things that the waiter brings and arranges her husband's breakfast. She will not, while she lives, lose the habit of Plan Coolidge This is the Washington comm. Coolidge's inauguration, March 4. A man elaborate ceremony. Left to right M. A. Reese, Isaac Gans, A. E.

Parkes Cadman, of the Congregational Church of Brooklyn, was made president of the U. S. Federal Council of Churches at the Atlanta conference. HAPPENINGS Here is not the face that launched a thousand ships or burned any towers, anyway. It's better than that. It's the face that weaned a thousand calves, cooked thirty thousand meals for family and farm hands, sewed and mended and washed for a family of children, caring for them in sickness and health, helping with the chores and economized on herself. "The little girl with the curls and the plaid dress, she is our youngest grandmother. Our daughter will be lonely without her. But they are letting us take her for a little while so she can see the country while she is young. We had to wait a long while." Every dollar they take with them, to provide for a well-earned life of peace, and rest, is a dollar raised by hard work. Crops raised by their hands have fed thousands. For every dollar they have had, the public has had ten dollars in value. Happy is this nation in possessing such States as California and Florida, in which those that have worked hard may spend their latter years, prolonging their lives and enjoying the results of hard and useful work. Those now living will see in California and in Florida cities greater than any now on earth. They will not be cities of crowded, windy streets, but cities that will cover millions of square miles, spreading over hills and valleys, with beautiful roads and great landing fields for flying machines, that will bring swiftly through the air passengers that the trains now carry slowly. The East and Northeast will send their millions to Florida. The Middle West and Northwest will send them to California. California and Florida will send back to the North energetic young people to work in the colder climate. The development of this nation has only begun. California or Florida could easily feed, under intensive cultivation, the entire population of the United States, and Texas could feed the population of the world. With the flying machine fully developed, all the people of the earth could find beautiful dwelling places on hills and mountains now uninhabited.

No use to dodge or truckle when there's nothin' mean in sight—we may have other fallin' but—we ain't afeard to fight. To face a savage bull-dog ain't a thing to be desired — but to look him squarely in the eye — all the bluff required. The ref reward of battle is in 'ain' out alive—so may we c'rate the scrap of Nineteen-enty-five!
