THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA JUL 16 1927 STATE LIBRARY FOUR WHITE EMPLOYEES DENIED SALARIES BECAUSE OF COLORED LIBRARY JANITOR. PREJUDICIAL ACTION OF 4 COUNCILMEN White Folks Aroused-Colored Folks Silent-“Biting Off Nose to Spite Face." VOLUME XLIV. NO. 35 FOU DE BECAU PREJU White Folk The five employees at the Arents Library, now a part of the municipal public library system, will not be paid for July 4 and August unless common council holds a special session to reconsider the Arents appropriation resolution. The resolution, carrying $2,500, was defeated, then reconsidered and tabled, because there is a Negro janitor on the library payroll. Henry Thompson the janitor, is an old employee of the Arents' administration of the library, but four councilmen blocked the appropriation Tuesday, July 5 because the library board recommended his retention. They voted, against the measure because they opposed the policy of keeping a Negro janitor it was stated. Nothing was said against Henry's character or fitness for the job. The four negative votes; those of Harvey E. Atkinson, of Madison; Lee O. Miller, of Clay; Bernard E. Robertson, of Madison and W. L. Tyler, of Clay, were sufficient to detain the measure because there were three absentees. Fourteen votes were necessary to pass it—two-thirds—and but thirteen voted for it. As a result became apparent, Councilman John Hirschberg, who as sub-chairman of the finance committee of council, is a member of the library board changed his vote from "aye" to "no" so that he could keep the resolution from utter defeat. There were sufficient votes to table it for future consideration. But future consideration, it was indicated today, will not help the Arents employees unless council holds a special session and passes the resolution before their pay day comes due on July 15. The $2,500 appropriation was necessary to handle the expenses of the branch library until the first interest from the Arents' maintenance fund comes in on January 1. Miss Arents bequeathed $100,000 as a maintenance trust and gave the library to the city outright. Her trustees, in turning over the property to the city highly recommended the present employees there, including the janitor, who gets $15 per week, and requested "that in event this offer is accepted, their services be made available to the city with the interests of the city. When the library board assumed jurisdiction of the Arents property it was decided to retain the present staff of five. It includes Miss Fanny S. Bull, librarian in charge, whose salary is $000 per year, or $75 per month; Miss Ellie Blakey, who is paid $70 per month; Miss Agnes E. Northern at $70 per month; Miss Mary L. Bull at $15 per month, and Henry Thompson, the Negro janitor, who gets $15 per week, or $780 per annum. MAY CALL MEETING Mr. Hirschberg voted against the Negro janitor policy as a member of the board, but decided to vote to sustain the board's recommendation in the council.. An inquiry today disclosed that there is no possible municipal source from which the Arents employees can be paid if the appropriation does not go through in time. If the measure is reconsidered in regular order, it will come up in August and by the time it passes, if it does pass, the five employees will have missed four pay days. Their salaries are of a scale which makes pay-day an im important event, it is said. portant event, it is. On the other hand, if it be decided to hold a special session of council before July 15, and the measure passes, the July 15 payday will come for the library force. As matters now stand, it is reported, the library either must be shut down immediately or the em ployes must work for nothing until such a time as council may agree upon its personnel. WHITE HELP POLICY If Henry Thompson is retained, he will not be the only Negro on the city payroll, he was learned today. Negroes are employed in a number of municipal institutions. There are no regular Negro laborers, however, and every proposal to employ Negro labor for municipal work, except in special instances has been defeated in recent years. White laborers are employed at a wage of $3.80 per day. And white custodians are employed in practically all of the municipal buildings. The employment of white help has been a policy of many years standing, it is said. The only Negro skilled and common laborers on city work are the workmen for contractors handling contracts to do city paving, sewer laxing and other work. COMMON COUNCIL AND THE ARENTS LIBRARY PAYROLL AGRR Editor of The Richmond Planet: Sir: It cannot be said that the action of the Common Council July 5th in the Arents Library Payroll Case was highly charged with either common sense or common justice. Here is presented a case in which certain members of that august body seem to have indulged in a game of cheap politics--dangerous politics, since the salaries of five, white lady clerks were held up, and the library itself came dangerously near being closed; all on account of the name of the faithful old colored janitor appearing on the payroll with the names of the other employees. NO CHARGES FILED. It is noticeable that no charges were filed against the character of the old janitor, no claim made that he was incompetent or unfit no suggestion that he was neglectful of his duties. It was simply and solely a case of the rankest color prejudice which the white press of this city should condemn and denounce. WOULD HAVE ACTED OTHERWISE. Does any intelligent person believe that these public officials would have acted in the manner they did, if the colored constituents in their respective wards exercised the right of franchise? Does not this wanton abuse of power emphasize the necessity of our people paying their poll tax and voting? Without the use of the ballot there is no way by which to redress our grievances; no opportunity through which to right our wrongs; no chance to punish our enemies or to reward our friends. THE DOG AND THE CITIZEN. If a colored man will pay the tax RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1927 on a cur dog and neglect to pay his own poll tax and the poll tax of his wife, he distranchises both himself and her. Today the greater number of our names appear only upon leases, du, bills, and rent receipts. If we were registered voters, a few of our names would appear on payrolls of the city, county and state. Is not this increased benefit a sufficient incentive to vote? So long as we refuse to qualify and vote, just so long will we be treated not as American citizens, but as allens and exiles. CANDIDATES WOULD COME. Mr. Editor, were you and I, and every other colored citizen to combine and agree to vote together, we would constitute a power so compelling that candidates for public office_i and city officials would come to us to find out what we think, how we feel and what we want. No longer would we be obliged to appear before the city council in the attitude of beggars pleading for the thing to which we are entitled. Instead of being beggars we would be dictators, and in a very real sense we could solve our own problems. Now shall we vote or shall we persist in not voting? THE BALLOT SUPREME Let white people say what they will or may, the ballot box is the best agency through which to develop friendship and good will between the races that modern civilization has yet devised. No matter what difficult we have overcome; no matter what achievements we have wrought; no matter how much wealth we have acquired the fact still remains that the ballot is our strength, our refuge, our hope, our all. AN URGENT NECESSITY. Just such outrages as the Arents Library case furnishes; just such public insults to the Negro race as perpetrated by public officers, emphasize the necessity for the exercise of the right of franchise, and ouckens the demand of the colored citizens of Richmond for justice, equity and right. THEODORE W. JONES, 1401 West Leigh Street A general jubilee, so to speak, among the members of the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church was the result of a visit there last Sunday night by the Organized Classes of the First Baptist Church (whit?) led by Senator Julien Gunn, Judge Hooper, Attorney A. W. Patterson Treasurer of the Austin Class E. R. Martin and others. Mr. E. D. Forster was master of ceremonies. The singing by the special songster of the class was highly appreciated. Rev. Hatcher.

The action of the Council of the City of Richmond in refusing to vote the necessary amount of money to retain the services of four popular and superbly competent white ladies in charge of the Grace Arenta Public Library because a colored janitor, Henry Thompson was on the payroll, shows the decadence of that spirit of Virginia Chivalry for which this "Grand Old Commonwealth" has always been noted. Four councilmen steadfastly refused to change their votes and the announcement that the count stood 13 in favor of the resolution and 4 against, determined and sounded the death-kneel of the resolution for the time being. It is hardly a matter for the colored people to become aroused about. They can smile complacently at the discomfiture of the Negro-haters. Staging a fight and waging a war upon women, especially white women, has never been popular in the Southland. It might be well for the churches of this city irrespective of color to send up prayers for these benighted councilmen, four in number, who attempted to turn back the hands of progress upon the dial plate of progress, while at the same time, they are so careless of their oaths of office. Thess white ladies will get their money and so will the colored janitor, who is the innocent cause of this wave of race prejudice which should have no place within the boundaries of this progressive community. MR. FORD RETRACTS. Henry Ford, the great automobile magnate was defendant in a million dollar suit brought by Attorney Sapiro, a wealthy Jew, who alleged that he and his race had been slandered by articles appearing in the Dearborn Independent, a journal practically owned by Mr. Ford. The result was a mistrial due to the improper conduct or a female juror. The case was to be tried again in the Fall. In the meantime, without consulting his brilliant array of counsel, Mr. Henry Ford reaches an agreement with the defendants and publishes an abject apology for all that was said against the Jews in the Dearborn Independent and pledging that no such publications shall appear again in the columns of that journal. The Hebrews are delighted and the suit against the distinguished American will be dismissed. Mr. Ford's attorneys are open in their statements that they were taken wholly by surprise by this turn of affairs. Our personal opinion is that Mr. Ford in scanning the bill of his attorneys found out that it would cost him a million dollars alone in counsel fees to continue the case, without computing other expenses and the possible chance of his antagonists winning a substantial part of the amount asked by them. It may have been an humiliating experience, but to our mind it was an act of the greatest wisdom in bringing about the termination of a most embarrassing and expensive contest. Henry Ford knows how to save money as well as he knows how to make it. The opinion of Hon. James A. Reed of Missouri in connection with Mr. Ford's action would not look well in print just now. He was senior counsel for Mr. Ford. Bring us your job printing. It will be neatly and promptly executed. Some people make efforts to help other people.

THE SHEPHERDS (Continued from Page 1) The Grand Presiding Shaperd in company with Mrs. Susie J. Williams Mrs. Lillie Baskerville, Lawyer C. A. McKenzie, Mr. R. C. Mitchell, Mr. Frank McWilliams, Mr. Frederick Douglas Clark and Grand Secretary Treasurer A. C. Clark made a trip to Remington Sunday where the 3rd annual sermon of Pride of Remington Fold was preached. This was one of the most inspiring meetings ever witnessed in that section of the State. Grand Secretary Tree urer Clark gave a talk on the progress of the Order. He was followed by Attorney C. A. McKenzie, who delivered a strong and inspiring address and at the conclusion received a rousing ovation. Daughter Lillie Baskerville represented the Juvenile Department in a creditable way. Daughter Susie J. Williams in her mutual mentor swayed the audience in a fascinating and eloquent address. Mr. R. C. Mitchell was then called upon for an address. Messrs. Clarke and McWilliams were also called upon to make expressions and they did so creditably. Rev. Floyd Elliott of Culpeper preached the annual sermon. It was a gem, full of philosophical thought and wisdom. The principal address of this meeting was delivered by our Grand Presiding Shepherd. Mrs. . Ora Down Stokes. In this address there were reflected the broad vision and the wide outlook which she has not only in connection with the Shepherd's Organization, but the Negro race in general. She touched on points that are vitally necessary for the future advancement of the race. At the conclusion of this address, every one felt that he had listened to a messenger of great prominence and that the message had brought information, knowledge and inspiration. The unanimous vote of the people of Remington was that this was the best and most inspiring fraternal meeting ever held in Remington. Mr. Richard Davis and his corps of officers deserve great credit for the arrangement of this splendid meeting. ) This party on its way from Remington stopped over in Fredericksburg Sunday night and attended services at the Old Site Shiloh Baptist Church. Speeches were made by members of the party on the progress of the Order, which were highly respected of the polity in Fredericksburg. The Grand Presiding Shepherd and party were in Newport News Tuesday arranging for the Grand Fold Session there in September. Albert Diggs, Pride of Croaker Fold. No. 415, Norge, Va., $100.00.

Hayden: Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

This Week By Arthur Brisbane MRS. COOLIDGE.COMMON SENSE CHILDREN AND CANARY BIRDS POLITE GOV. MOODY REAL FLYING AUG 1. Mrs. Coolidge, in South Dakota, sees women of all kinds, young girls and grandmothers, wearing knickerbockers. Mrs. Coolidge respects them and probably admires their common sense, but she will not wear knickerbockers. Rubber boots when she goes fishing and a skirt of reasonable length—never mind if it gets wet. Clothes, as Carlyle shows in "Sartor Resartus," make all the difference between a king in his grandeur and a "featherless biped." (8) Two hundred and seven Americans reported incomes of $1,000,000 a year or more in 1925. In 1924 only seventy-five reported incomes of a million dollars or over. Once a man owning a million was a wonder. Now 207 have a million or more INCOME and some have fifty millions of income and a good deal more through corporation ownership. And the billion a year income will arrive before earth's phase of industrial feudalism shall pass. Mrs. Freeman, the unhappy mother whose husband was killed by an automobile, killed herself and her five children when they must go to an orphan asylum. "Better dead than without a mother," said the poor woman, and went with them. She was careful to protect two canary birds, putting them where the deadly gas could not reach them. She knew that canary birds them and treat them kindly. She knew that children have no values that she could not be sure that strangers in an asylum would treat Sees Snake Personality Georges Chappelle of France now in the U. S. is head of the organization which annually exterminates 2 million snakes in the U.S. He explains here that "Charlotte"—in hand—is dead—but really of gentle breeding and full of "personality" when you know her right. AUTOCARTE Leon Gehrig, slugging first baseman of the leading New York Yankees, who has stood baseball on its head this season by his sensational slugging, passing Babe Ruth in home runs and bidding fair to be one of the biggest "finds" of years. Visiting New York City with a party of distinguished Texans, welcomed and looked up to, literally and in other ways, Governor Moody listens and thinks. He hears that New York City is the biggest American factory town, turning out five and a half billion dollars worth of products a year. Governor Moody is too polite to mention the fact that any State he has seen on his way East, including New York, could be tucked away in Texas and not attract much attention. Texas alone, intensively cultivated, could feed every one of the 1,900,000,000 human beings on earth and have room left to raise cotton. While Byrd was flying east across the Atlantic, and two young Army men west across the Pacific, at 110 miles an hour, our interesting visitor, the comet Pons-Winnecke, was leaving the earth behind, passing through various constellations at the rate of 66,600 miles an hour. Shall we, tiny creatures, when released from service on this earth, make some such journey? That would be more interesting than going into the ground to stay there. The VERY DRYS plan a dry ticket in 1928, if neither party supplies them with a candidate dry enough. It would be enlightening to nominate at least one independent dry. The result would be instructive. Few candidates dare defy the dry, few would want an out and out dry nomination. At this moment of flying enthusiasm, one word of caution is necessary, and expert filers remind you of it. Don't go up "just to know how it feels" unless you know the pilot and the machine. There are unsafe machines, plenty of them, including many bogus second-hand from the United States Government. There are unskilful pilots and others skilled, but rockless. Barring dangerously bad weather, bad pilots and unsafe machines flying is now safe. But BE CAREFUL. Beginning on August 1, air passenger service from the Atlantic to the Pacific is promised, the trip to Fiji takes thirty hours. For a straight line air trip from San Francisco to Chicago, with transfers to Los Angeles and Seattle. Then a San Francisco to New York line, with the same transfers. Passenger ships will carry the mails, and flying will have started. AUTOCASTER Miss' Bina M. West, of Port Huron, Mich, who today is acknowledged America's foremost woman fraternists.

D. Rhus Poisoning In the rural districts of our middle latitudes, the "poison ivy" grows luxuriantly, to the sorrow and pain of those who are susceptible to its influence. Only last week a victim came to my office, with face so swollen, that both eyes were almost shut out from lights with difficulty could he see to go about, because of the greatly distended eyelids. Having no relatives near, or intimate friends, I sent him to the hospital for two days until the inflammation could be subdued. I wish to warn my readers against the mistake this man made, using ointments on a case of rhus poisoning; he had, to use his expression, "piled on the salve" for two days and night, both to intensify his suffering. This ointment effectually keeps the salve in place so that beneath it the skin is thick—the things that the pot must be done, no matter how "soothing" the salves are repaired to be. I have seen small enough result in rhus dermismin, whose ointments were used actiously. Being an acid poison, our sure case lies in neutralizing the acid with an alkali, as soon as possible. The best remedy I have ever used is alcohol and lime water—equally applied, applied on clothes or gown with the solution. The lime counteracts the acid, and the alkali consumes the water from the swollen throat, the treatment does not exclude air, nor does it have the poison in it. If any of the solution should accidentally get into the eye, it does no precipitate damage. Solutions of lead salts are used with good effect—but lead is harsh, until used under the careful direction of the physician. The alcohol and lime water are equally efficient, and can be applied continuously without danger. The patient above mentioned was cleared of his affliction in seventy-two hours. Our Hand-Cut Pattern No. 1116 1116 AUTO GASTER In spite of its very "Fifth Avenue" look, this design is very easy to make. The dress fronts lap over a vestee and skirt-panel, as you see, and if striped material is used, the effect is wonderfully smart. As materials we suggest jersey or light weight wool material in any solid color, such as beige, brown or blue. The front insertion is of the same material in a lighter shade of the same 'color' or else in a sports stripe to match. The pattern may be obtained in sizes 16 to 44. Size 36 requires 2 yards of 54 inch material and three-quarters of a yard of trimming material. No dressmaking experience is needed to make Design No. 1116 if you use these patterns which are individually hand-cut of heavy paper. Patterns will be delivered to any address upon receipt of 25c in cash or U. S. postage. Always mention size wanted.

The many lakes called Lake of the Woods, He in well wooded districts in Northern Ontario, and are fed by the Rainy River and drained by the Winnipeg River West to Lake Winnipeg. Kenora, only a few hours run from Winnipig, the capital of Manitoba, is the principal town of this lake district, and is a resort where many Winnipig residents have lovely summer homes.

The producers of life's first essential - food - use a good measure of common sense when buying truck equipment Experience has made them keen judges of truck value and performance. And in the equipment for transportation of farm products and milk plenty of power, time-tried reliability and economy are essential requirements. It is not by chance that today more than 10,000 Graham Brothers trucks are being operated by farmers raises of live stock and men engaged in the milk and milk products industries. It is especially significant that a large proportion of the more recent sales jects have been found, for the Indians, like the Egyptians, bury many useful and treasured articles with their dead. The nearest of these graves are about two miles from the Devil's Gap Bungalow Camp. Some of these mounds are covered with a low, low-like structure of bark, which has an opening in the front for the spirit's exit. The Ojibway Indians meet once a year at the Tundry ground where they receive their annual payment of money in return for the custom of some of their rights. They also appeal to those who desire a change from touring over highways, for those who wish to get away from means of humanization, and can glide into tungsten, where only the stakes of the graves are heard, and where at night creeples in that of the moon.

By engaging a guide, ideal canoe trips can be made to numerous lakes tributary to the Lake of the Woods. At the Devil's Gap Bungalow Camp, the Canadian Pacific Railway gives a fine silver cup each year for the largest bass caught. This competition is open to all registered guests as the camp. The islands, numbering over 10,000 in the lake of the Woods, are rugged and rocky and follow the main shores as thickly in places that it is hard to distinguishe between and mainland. They are beautifully tree with plains and birch, the islands are the back of the latter for canoeists. It is interesting to follow the old Indian trails on some of these islands, where one frequently comes upon their graves; high mounds in which many mature canoes. ```markdown ``` FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Miss Laura Gunter, very prominent in social affairs, gladly shows what Tip-Top does for her hair.
