The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Three Drown When Car Goes In River EDW. NELSON AND PERHAPS TWO WOMEN LOSE THEIR LIVES Mystery Surrounding Strange Accident Not Yet Fully Cleared An automobile in which were supposed to have been two Negro women, a white soldier from the marine station and the Negro chauffeur, Edw. Nelson, plunged into the river early Tuesday morning at the foot of West Broad street. The white marine was fished out of the river by men from the Savannah Electric plant and the fire station near by, but the supposed two women and the Negro chauffeur were pinned under the car and drowned. The marine, who is the only survivor of the party, said that he had hired the car a sort time previous to the accident, at the Union Station, directing the driver to carry him to a hotel down town. He said the driver told him he had two women in the car, whom he would have to carry home first. The marine said he jumped into the machine and the party was on its way when the next thing he remembered the machine was plunging into the river, which is about three fifths of a mile from the point it started from. The cries of the marine in the water attracted his rescuers, several of whom had heard the machine go down the steep incline leading to the river from Indian St., at about a 40 mile an hour clip. At the edge of the river, and seemingly in a direct path the machine would have to take to get into the river, was a big pile of lumber. If the car had hit this it could scarcely have reached the water, but it was steered clear of this impediment and then the fatal plunge was taken. About two o'clock the machine, Packard model, was raised out of the water. The chauffeur was found in a kneeling position in the back of the car. Neither of the supposed female occupants was found and none of their wearing apparel. The position in which the driver was found in the car has caused many to believe that he was not at the steering wheel at the time of the accident but rather that the mariner was driving. This theory is further borne out by the fact that Nelson, the chauffeur and owner of the car, was a rather sober, careful and reliable sort of man, being about 45 years of age. Again those holding to this theory claim that it was the act of a man at the steering wheel who did not know that the river was below for the machine was evidently steered too well of the lumber obstruction which would have prevented the plunge into the water had it been hit. Previous to purchasing the machine two months ago, Nelson was a back driver and chicken dealer. He owned his home at Russell and Magnolia streets, which he had just had renovated. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Victoria Nelson, who reached the city yesterday from Newport, R. I., where she was working. He is also survived by a brother who is a rag dealer and is known by his familiar cry "Any Rags today." As the women who were supposed to have been in the machine were seen the next day, safe and sound, the affair has become more of a mystery. The marine has been taken back to the naval station but is being kept under guard awaiting developments in the case. Will Speak On Red Cross Work ROYAL DANIELS TO ADDRESS NEGROES TOMORROW Meeting Will be Held at the First Congregational Church Royal Daniels, editor of the Quitman Free Press and chairman of the Red Cross work for the district of Georgia, will address the Negroes tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 o'clock at the First Congregational church, Taylor and Habersham streets.

Urban League Holds Conference UNION LABOR ASKED TO GIVE NEGRO A SQUARE DEAL Many Prominent Social Workers Discuss Negro and Labor Question New York, January 30th—The present attitude of the American Federation of Labor towards Negroes, and what the Negro is doing to make good with the opportunity now opening to him on account of the scarcity of white labor caused by the war was discussed in a series of conferences called by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, with headquarters at 2303 Seventh avenue, this city, on January 28th, 29th and 30th at the Russell Sage Foundation Building. The first session was called to order Tuesday afternoon by Dr. E. P. Roberts, chairman of the local committee, who introduced Rev. Wm. M. Moss, pastor of Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, who welcomed the delegates to the city. Dr. T. O. Fuller of the Urban League of Memphis, Tenn., responding, said: "The conditions caused by the great world war where there is need of men and money, where there is common need, common suffering and common sorrow—added to this the exodus which threatens the industrial stability of the South, I believe tells that a new day is dawning, and that we should speak to our leaders of the South that they go forward." Historical sketches of the organization given by Miss Elizabeth Walton, of New York, Dr. Geo. E. Haynes of Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. S.W. Layten of Philadelphia and L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League. Miss Walton speaking on "The Spirit of the Founders," said: "The objects of this organization are to bring about coordination and co-operation among existing agencies and organizations for improving the industrial, economic, social and spiritual conditions of Negroes, and to develop other agencies and organizations where necessary to secure and train Negro social workers; to make studies of the industrial, economic, social and spiritual conditions among Negroes, and in general to promote, encourage, assist and engage in any and all kinds of work for social and spiritual conditions among Negroes. William C. Graves, secretary to Mr. Julius Rosenwald, a member of the Chicago Urban League, said that he regarded Mr. Wood's and Mr. Jones' efforts to establish the League in Chicago as a blessing, and that if the league can point the way for extensive housing work in that city. Mr. Rosenwald is in position to finance such a proposition. Mr. A. L. Manly of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, responded to the subject, "The East," and said: The Armstrong Association began some years before the League was permanently formed. Since then it was found necessary to affiliate with the League. That the Armstrong Association is now making an effort to bring about a changed sentiment on Will Take Charge of New Pastorate On Monday The Rev. J. Henry Brown of Tallahassee, Fla., has been called to the rectorate of St. Augustine Episcopal church. He will take charge of the work on Monday. The Rev. Brown comes to this city from St. Michaels and All Angels church, Tallahassee, where he was rector for some time. He was the first colored man ordained to the priesthood of the Protestant Episcopal church in Tallahassee. While in Tallahassee he was identified with several outside movements, chiefly the Red Cross Auxiliary of Lean county, of which he was organizer, and the raising of the Y. M. O. A war fund of that county, being treasurer of that movement. As a testimonial to his efforts in Tallahassee to better the condition of the race there, a banquet will be tendered him tomorrow evening at St. Michaels and All Angels church at which many of the leading Negroes of Tallahasse will take part, among them Pres. N. B. Young of the Florida State College, who is well known in this city. Rev. Brown succeeds the Rev. M. M. Weston, who resigned some time ago as rector of St. Augustine church. SAVANNAH. GEORGIA. Will Hold Sum mer School Here PROMINENT NEGRO EDUCATORS TO CONDUCT COURSES Superintendent Gibson Gives Hearty Approval of Plan Arrangements have been perfected whereby a summer school of fourweeks' duration will be held in Savannah for the benefit not only of the local city and county teachers, but for the teachers throughout the state and adjoining states. This course has been decided upon in view of the general efforts of conservation and economy during war times, but it is felt that the plan of bringing prominent educators to the city for summer school courses would work admirably under normal conditions also. This plan was advanced by the Teachers' Culture Club, under the direction of Prof. R. W. Gadsden, some weeks ago, and from the beginning the many teachers of the city manifested a very enthusiastic interest in their proposition. Last Wednesday at a general meeting of all the teachers of the city, over fifty of the total of sixty colored teachers subscribed as underwriters of the plan. This followed an enthusiastic appeal made by Superintendent Gibson. The officers elected were as follows: R. W. Gadsden, president; J. H. C. Butler, vice president; Miss Carrie Hendrickson, secretary; S. S. Kelson, corresponding secretary; Miss Alice M. Eills, treasurer. A board of directors will be appointed by President Gadsden. Negotiations are already under way for securing some of the very best specialists in grammar school methods and pedagogies which may be available from the larger educational centers of the nation; and a wide and thorocampaign of advertising will be launched immediately with a view to arousing and enrolling many of the teachers of the adjoining counties and of the various cities of the state. The school will be first-class and thoroughly equipped to do high-grade modern work. It will be no make-shift in the interest of economy. The men who come to instruct will be among the very best and will be well paid for their services. Prominent lecturers for special engagements will be hooked and some good musical and social features will be added, making the orginalization complete and resembling the regular summer school in every particular. Savannah is the ideal place of all places for such an institution. By the sea, it has all the interest and charm which characterizes sea shore resorts, with all the opportunities for recreation and amusement which usually go along with such cities. Besides and more important than this, Savannah is the most historic city of the South, and with its magic name are associated some of the most glowing achievements and exploits of pioneer days. There are scores of monuments, and designated historical data; there are beautiful parks and commons; there are handsome public buildings and such a beautiful general setting as few cities enjoy. Here, one sees the monuments of Green and Jasper and Oglethorpe, of Pulaski and Gordon. Here is the historical headquarters occupied by General Sherman; here, the old colonial manse, within whose walls LaFayette and Washington were entertained; here, is marked the spot where Oglethorpe and his pilgrims landed and here, a giant monoleth is raised to the memory of the friendly Tomochlii; here the Wesley's first came to plant the root of Methodism and preached under these giant, garlanded oak; here too, Whitfield, contemporary of the Wesleys, established, perhaps, the first orphanage in America—it still lives and thrives and produces; here, fable relates, came the mighty Christiphe, Negro chieftain and warrior from the West Indies; and here was established the first Negro Baptist church in America and in the World, besides many equally interesting points of interest. The city, called every where one of the South, literal and picturesque of the South, literally teems with varied legend and lore. The proposal to bring the school to Savannah will no doubt be interesting news to many persons who wish to make this the occasion for a visit to Savannah. The curricula, the personnel of the teaching staff, the schedules, etc., with the rates, will be published in due SATURDAY FEB. 9TH, 1918 Drs.JonesandPenn Tendered Banquet 50 BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN PRESENT Visitors Express Themselves as Highly Pleased with Savannah On Wednesday night at the Savannah Home Association auditorium Dr. R. E. Jones of New Orleans, La., and Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, O., who were in the city as members of the Methodist Unification Commission, were tendered a banquet by about fifty business and professional men. The affair which was given under the auspices of the Negro Business League, was a very delightful one and was rather informal. Short talks were made by the guests of honor and several local men. John H. Harrell of the Harrell Dry Cleaning establishment, acted as master of ceremonies. A appetizing supper was served. Those participating in the affair were John H. Harrell, A. B. Singfield, G. H. Bowen, Rev. J. S. Stripling, Dr. O. O. Clayborne, H. E. Hagan, L. M. Pollard, H. G. Gordon, F. D. Tucker, J. W. Walker, Capt. E. Seabrooks, Andrew Patterson, Wylly Smith, A. B. Blackshear, D.

ORGANIZED FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK Young Ladies of Congregational Church to Engage in Work of Uplift More than two weeks ago the young ladies of the First Congregational church met for the purpose of considering the need of extending the social service activities of the church. They decided to organize in order to more effectively engage in the work. A committee of laws was appointed to report at the meeting which was held on Thursday at the church. After te adoption of the laws the following officers were elected: Miss Clifford Alyen, president; Miss Julia Low, vice president; Miss Hazel Heffron, secretary and Miss Marle V. Tolbert, treasurer. Members of the executive, membership and auditing committees were appointed. In order to engage actively in work it was decided to establish a social service center in the southeastern section of the city. A house for this purpose will be rented. Miss Margret Robertson was elected directress of this work. It is also the purpose of the young ladies to take up a course of social service studies, and to receive lectures from well-informed ones on subjects relative to the work. The organization is known as the Congregational Social Service Workers. This church has been conducting social service work for the past several years under the auspices of the Congregational Brotherhood, assisted by the ladies of the Congregational Aid Society. They have been conducting a kindergarten for three years and has a flourishing social service house in the Old Fort where a large number of boys and girls are being helped. BUTLER-BRYANT MARRIAGE Mr. Joseph Butler and Miss Queene Mac Bryant were married Monday evening by the Rev. J. S. Stripling, the wedding taking place at the parsonage. Mr. Butler is one of the most expert auto tire vulcanizers in the city and is well known in automobile circles. Mrs. Butler is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bryant who reside near Central Park College. They are living at 815 W. 42nd street. time in all the leading newspapers of the state. It is expected that nearly 200 persons will be enrolled. Speeding Auto Kills Woman MRS. MAMIE JOHNSON KILLED ON WEST BROAD STREET Was Attempting to Board Street Car When Struck by Machine About 11:30 o'clock Saturday night Mrs. Mannie Johnson of 501 Anderson street, east, was knocked down and fatally injured by a speeding automobile on West Broad street, just as she was about to board an E. and W. car for being. Mrs. Johnson had been on Oak street to see a relative about keeping her little daughter for a few days that she might go down to Jacksonville, Fla., to visit a sick sister who had sent for her. After leaving the house she stopped into a store to make a purchase and then went out to catch the car which she was about to board when the machine struck her. She was knocked with such force that her body was hurled to the front end of the car. A scream was then heard and several men on the back of the car alighted to assist the woman. Not a sound was heard from her when they attempted to raise her crumpled body. The machine did not stop but speeded up to escape detection. An automobile of small size which came up in the meantime, gave chase to the machine which had done its fatal damage but was shortly lost in the pursuit. The woman was moved into the grocery store on the corner. It was evident that her condition was critical and the ambulance was immediately summoned. From letters which she carried in her bag the injured woman was easily identified and an effort made to get in touch with her home. Aside from the bag, she carried a bundle of fish which she had purchased from the store across the street. The ambulance carried her to the Georgia Infirmary where she died in about two hours. The examination at the hsopital showed that she had been struck with such force that the skull was crushed, her arm broken in three places, several ribs fractured and a leg broken in two places. Mrs. Johnson was a particularly attractive woman, well dressed and well known. She was the wife of Mr. Richard Johnson, a plasterer. It was stated that she had only recently returned from a trip to the North. Her funeral took place Thursday afternoon from St. Philip A. M. E. church. Up to yesterday noon no arrest had been made in the case but it is understood that the police are working on a clue. Williams Singers Here Friday Night Williams Singers Here Friday Night WILL APPEAR AT MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM Indications Point to a Record Crowd Being Present The William Singers, that excellent troup of Chicago artists who pleased Sayannahians so well when they appeared at the Liberty theatre two winters ago, will be the attraction at the Municipal Auditorium next Friday night, February 15th. Indications point to a record crowd being present to hear these celebrated artists who are going bigger and better this year than ever. The troup is being brought here this year under the auspices of Charity Hospital with Dr. C. E. Brent managing the local side of the affair. Friday night's concert will doubtless be the last big society affair of the season and for this reason together with the fact that the William Singers, are a first-class and most pleasing set of entertainers, a large crowd is expected out. A large number of box seats have already been taken, as is also true of the orchestra seats. The price of admission to the concert which begins at 8:30 o'clock is $1.00, 75c, 50c and 25c. ROYAL UNDERTAKING CO. The Royal Undertaking Company has recently added to its large rolling stock a beautiful new Dodge automobile funeral wagon and ambulance. The addition of this new wagon gives this popular funeral company four auto vehicles together with its numerous horse drawn conveyances. NUMBER 23 Couldn't Agree On Negro Question METHODIST COMMISSION TO TRY AGAIN IN SIXTY DAYS What to do With Negro Membership Proves a Big Problem The Methodist Episcopal Unification Commission, composed of members of the Northern and Southern branches of the church, which met here week be fore last adjourned Wednesday night after finding the Negro question in the church too much of a problem to solve. All other obstacles could have been easily surmounted but the problem of deciding what they should do with the 300,000 Negro members of the church proved a stumbling block. Several plans were presented which their advocates felt would solve the question. They ranged from that of giving the Negro full rights in the united church to cutting him loose entirely. The Negro members of the commission, Dr. E. R. Jones of New Orleans, La., editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and Dr. I. Garland Pea of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, were present at all the meetings of the body. W. J. WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY AFTER A LONG ILLNESS Was a Leading Churchman and Identified with the Wage Earners Bank Mr. W. J. Williams, one of our old and best known citizens, died on Saturday morning last. Mr. Williams has been ill health for some time, and was compelled to remain at home during the past several months. Throughout his illness he was cheerful and hopeful. Since the early seventies Mr. Williams was in teh employ of the firm of Blair and Bieford, until it went out of business. He was then employed by the Andrew Hanly Co., where he held the position of shipping clerk until the firm went out of business. He enjoyed the fullest confidence of his employers. Mr. Williams was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. His integrity was unquestioned and he was kind to a fault. He has been the means in encouraging and helping in life scores of people. He was a consistent member of St. Philip A. M. E. church, joining during the early pastorate of the late Bishop M. R. Salters. His worth was early recognized. He has been the means of helping the church through many financial crisis. He served as trustee until his death. Mr. Williams was a director of the Wage Earners Savings Bank, and one of its auditors. He was loyal to this institution and every thoughtful of its progress. He was an old member of Olympia, Lodge K. of P. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from St. Philip church. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. V. Branch, who delivered an appropriate sermon. Testimonies to the worth of the deceased were given by Mr. B. S. Reid, one of the oldest members of the church; Mr. L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Bank and by Revs. C. C. Cargile and N. Bembry. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Maxwell. Miss Mae Steward very beautifully rendered an appropriate solo. The church was crowded with friends and the floral offerings were many. Mr. Williams is survived by a wife, sister, other relatives and a host of friends. TEACHERS' CULTURE CLUB At a regular meeting of the Teachers' Culture club held at the home of Miss Clinton Dingle, January 23, Mr. Frank Callen lectured on "Heredity and Environment" On February 4th at the home of Miss Nettle Houston, Mr. J. G. Lemon lectured to the club on "The Teacher's Preparation." The many friends of Mr. Prince R. Butler, who was taken seriously ill on last Saturday at his residence, 519 Charlton street, west, will be glad to learn that he is rapidly consalescing. Mrs. Annie Scott is again at her home, 719 West Broughton street, after being in Charity Hospital for two weeks having had an operation performed. Miss Carrie Green of Macon, is in the city visiting Miss Annie Wilson of 520 Hall street, east. PAGE TWO the part of the corporations towards the migrant and feels that they are making some headway." On Tuesday evening, January 29th, a large mass meeting was held at the Metropolitan Baptist church, presided over by the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, at which representatives from various local league in different sections of the country gave a resume of their work. Among those appearing were Arnold T. Hill of Chicago, John T. Clark of Pittsburg, Mrs. S. W. Layden of Philadelphia, Rev. T. H. Dwelle of Augusta, Ga., Mrs. H. A. V. Proctor of Norfolk; Rev. Batchelor of Trenton, Leonard Jackson of White Plains, Wm. Ashby of Newark, Dr. Geo. E. Halnes of Nashville, Miss Elsie Mountain of Columbus, O., Mrs. G. E. McDougald of New York, C. Bion Smith of Jersey City, William Jones of Memphis, A. L. Manly of Philadelphia and Roger N. Baldwin of St. Louis. At a session Wednesday morning, Hugene Kinckle Jones, the executive secretary of the National League presiding, plans were discussed for increasing the League's influence and efficiency, and the training of workers. Wednesday evening a reception was held at Lincoln House, a branch of Henry Street Settlement, to the visiting delegates. Dr. Haines of Nashville, educational secretary of the League, was in the chair when the session convened Thursday morning to discuss the labor question. He said: "During the past two years Negro by the thousands have come to the north. They are adding power to war industries, factories, on railroads and in mines. They have not displaced their white fellow workmen, and only ask of them a man's chance to work. Scores of employers have given testimony of their satisfaction with Negro laborers, as employers have found him an asset, so may workingmen open their ranks to him to their advantage. The Negro hopes that the cooperation and coordination of labor and capital brought by necessities of war may become permanent by choice in peace. He has no intention of displacing white fellow workmen; he wants to give satisfaction to employers; he asks that the harriers of creed and color be removed from industry along with those of greed and paternalism." A. L. Manly and Miss Norris of the Armstrong Association, Philadelphia, and Dr. J. H. Miller of Chester, Pa., thought that it might be well for the Negro to hesitate a while before entering the unions, but it was the sense of the majority who participated in the open discussion that the Negro should become unionized with the waiters as soon as possible for his own best interest as well as the interest of the unions. Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, was the presiding officer at the session which convened at 8 o'clock. Before introducing the speakers Dr. Moton said: "The labor question of the present day is more acute than ever in the history of our country; indeed in the history of the world. Negroes as never before are being recognized as a factor in this labor problem. The migration of thousands of Negroes from the South, while it has magnified certain social problems in cities of the North, has, on the other hand, had its advantages to the Negroes themselves. There isn't any trouble now about the Negro finding employment. There is a question about the character of the employment, sometimes. The things that this League should, in my opinion, emphasize perhaps more than any thing else just now is not only that Negroes should find profitable employment amid satisfactory surroundings as far as possible, but that he should as far as possible be influenced and induced to hold his jobs. We as friends of the Negroes should emphasize the importance of the fact that the war is making possible to the Negro race certain advantages that many of us did not expect to live to see. We should use every possible means to help the Negro seize and use these opportunities." Dr. Horace Bridges, leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Chicago, speaking on "What attitude shall the Negro and his friends assume toward the new attitude of the American Federation of Labor," said: "Our principle is a very simple one. Wherever we are asked to provide a colored worker to do work which was formerly done by white men, we ask for that man the same wages for for the same work; the same hours, the same conditions; absolutely no difference because his skin happens to be of a darker hue. Equal opportunity for advancement if the men demonstrate that they deserve it. Our point both to the employers and to the la- borer is that you shall not refuse a man work because of his racial origin, or because of the color of his skin. It a man is a bad workman, or if he proves an unreliable character, dismiss him whether he be lack or or white; all we ask is general and fair equality. Do not deny a man the opportunity of education and then point to his ignorance as an excuse for his unfitness. In order that any human being may become proficient in any line there must be an opportunity for him to become proficient; and so we may say to the unions, "do not close your doors against the colored laborer and then point to his inefficiency as an excuse for his not being employed. The Negro in the North today is here for the same reason, in response to the very same causes that formerly brought floods of immigrants from the old world. The reason is this, because the northern industries picked him, and because we want him. Strictly for their own interests, the organized labor unions should throw open their doors to the Negro laborers. If the labor unious refuse the colored laborer, then the labor unions are themselves putting into the hands of the masters a weapon to use against them, because men must live." Other distinguished speakers on the program were George Foster Peabody of New York, Dr. A. A. Graham of the Negro Organization Society of Hampton, Va., William C. Graves of Chicago, John P. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Hon. Ennett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, and L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League. Mr. Roger N. Baldwin, then read the resolutions, and stated that a committee had been appointed to attend the session of the American Federation of Labor of February 10th, at Washington, D.C., and to confer with the Department of Labor heads regarding the appointment of one or two Negro assistants in each of the bureau to adjust and distribute Negro Labor to meet war and peace conditions. The resolutions in full were as follows: For the first time in the history of America, the Negro working man is in large numbers getting a chance to offer his services at a fair wage for various kinds of work for which he is fitted. The opportunity, however, has come as a result of conditions over which neither he nor those offering him the chance, have control. In the City of New York, on the 31st day of January, 1918, we, in conference assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, while in no way seeking to condone the existence of the world-wide war which has been forced upon our beloved country, wish to express our gratitude for the industrial changes wrought and to record our prayer that the benefits thus derived by the Negro may continue and so enlarge as to embrace full and fair opportunity in all walks of life. We wish especially to add ourselves to the American Federation of Labor which at its recent convention in Buffalo N. X., voiced sound democratic principles in its attitude toward Negro labor. We would ask the American Federation of Labor, in organizing Negroes in the various trades, to include: (1) Skilled as well as unskilled workmen; (2) Northern as well as Southern workmen; (3) Government as well as civilian employees; 4) Women as well as men workers. We would have Negro labor handled by the American Federation of Labor, in the same manner as white labor: (1) When workmen are returning to work after a successful strike; (2) When shops are declared "open" or "closed;" (3) When Union workers apply for jobs. We would have these assurances pledged not in words only, but by deeds—pledged by an increasing number of examples of groups of Negro workmen given a "square deal." With these accomplished, we pledge ourselves to urge Negro workingmen to seek the advantages of sympathetic co-operation and understanding between men who work. 11. We would also address ourselves to the Labor Bureau of the United States Government: In our national effort to speed up production of articles essential to the conduct of the war as well as the production of other goods, let us not lose sight of the loss to our country in quantity production by an unreasonable prejudice in many quarters against the use of Negro labor. Negro workmen are loyal and patriotic, cheerful and versatile. In some sections there is an oversupply of such labor; in other sections a shortage. We would urge the appointment of one or two competent Negroes in the Department of Labor to serve as assistants in each of the Bureaus in adjusting and distributing Negro labor THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY FEB. 9TH, 1918 SEVERAL WAYS TO SAVE SUGAR-WHICH IS YOUR WAY?

Success lies in these directions. 1V. We would impress upon employ ers the fact that the efficiency of their employees during work hours depends very largely on the use of the nonworking hours. Most of the complaints against Negro labor can be removed if proper housing, decent amuse ment, fair wages, and proper treatment are provided. U. $ ^{1} $ SOLDIERS' ALLOWANCES The following are allowances made by the United States Government to the dependents of soldiers: It is expected that every soldier shall allot a portion of his wages to those depedent upon him. With respect to a wife or child the government requires an allotment of not less than $15 per month. The judgment of the government is that the balance of the soldier's wages will be ample for him. The government clothes, feeds and doctors a soldier and pays every necessary expense, so that after making this allotment of $15 per month for those dependent upon him, he has $15 a month for his own personal expenses. An unmarried soldier should certainly make an allotment of $15 per month to those dependent upon him, if there be any. Certainly he nor they should make any complaint until this is done. In addition to these allotments from the wages of the soldier, the government makes to dependents the following allowances: (b) If ther be a wife and one child $25. (c) If ther be a wife and two children, $32.50, with $5 per month for each additional child. (b) If there be a wife and one child child, $5. (c) If there be a wife and two children, $12.50. (f) If there be no wife, but three children, $20. (g) If there be no wife, but four children, $30, with $5 per month additional for each additional child. Class B—Grandchild, parent, brother or sister: (a) If there be one parent, $10. (b) If there be two parents, $20. (c) For each grandchild, brother, sister and additional parent. $5.

If the brethren would but stuily the silent, steady influence, and is represensoric work, and also read carefully sentative of our workers. We find be- and intelligently the Masonic literature AMONG THE MASONS When a man is young in Masonry and anxious for more light, it is but right for him to acquire a proficiency in the lectures of the various degrees that he may be able to take an active part in the work of his lodge.—Masonie van. --- To see the First Degree conferred on an intelligent candidate in an impressive manner is always an interesting event in the life of a Mason, no matter how long he has been in the ranks or in the harness—Missouri Freemason. ; Should be Stopped A brother has suggested that some of the profane language to which Masons are addicted is due to fear. He asserts his belief that some men are so fearful their fellows will imagine them to be "goody-goody good" that they wilfully resort to blasphemy. If the brother is right in his theory, then brethren must be like the man who, desirous that his neighbors should think him rich, blackened his face before washing the windows of his home. All Masons including those not addicted to the use of profane language, should give more thought to the effect of their speech. Every Mason hearing another swear should in friendly manner point out the error. Another thing that needs correcting is the too common practice of telling "smutty". stories in ante-rooms of lodges. The practice has no defense and is not much short of criminal when stories are told in the presence of candidates.—Masonic Sentinel. The "Greatest Thing" The greatest thing that any man can do in this world is what God made him to do, whether it be to make a page of the world's history, to govern a nation or write a poem, to unfurl the flag of a republic, to beat out some useful tool on an anvil, to kiss away the hurts of a little child, or just to fan with hope the "smoking flax of some tired soul."—Exchange. The social side of Masonry has never been properly developed. No occasion to entertain its members and their families should be overlooked by a lodge and equally important is its duty to instruct and broaden the mind and character of Masons. The craving and desire for this form of Masonic activity is evidenced by the formation of clubs or societies, whose work is purely social or instructive.—Masonic Chronicles neath the forms and ceremonies the deep, true friendship which is priceless and most sacred. We should love love them so well we cannot measure it. Never let us cheapen the love of our sisters and brothers. This spirit of fraternal love just at this season of happiness, and holds atom to atom, cell to cell, heart to heart, and world to sun, and is everywhere operative. And we are coming more to see that the way of love is the way of life. A flower will blossom in the sun-light, unfold and grow. Let us be true to ourselves and life's vibrations of force, power and hope for the highest, best and noblest.—Selected. Lodge Obtain Justice It is not often that a Masonic Lodge finds itself impelled to interfere in the private affairs of a brother so as to help him in courts. Such a case occurred recently and Hesperia Lodge went into court to obtain justice for Frank McKeon, one of its members. He had differences with members of his family who had him indicted and he was declared insane. The lodge was not satisfied with the judgment and provided the means for an appeal, which resulted in favor of Bro. McKeon, who, after a rigid examination was declared sane and his liberty was restored. Bro. McKeon, who is 61 years old, had tears in his eyes when he thanked the brethren for the interest they had taken in his case and the service rendered him—N. O. Square and Compasses. Unchanging The Masonic fraternity has never changed its policy. It says to the non-Mason, you must seek in order to know our mysteries. You will not be sought after. This step is of the highest importance and must be strictly adhered to. Any member of the institution who urges a profane to become a Mason is kulty of conduct unbecoming a true member of the fraternity, and deserves to be disciplined for so doing. Selected. What Masonry Teaches Every Mason is more or less familiar with what Masonry teaches. And yet, sad to say, few Masons give heed to the deeper and higher meaning of the work. So many are content to be initiated, passed and raised; to learn the grips and passwords; and then forget all about the objects of the order. The lessons of the degrees are not only beautiful in themselves, but they teach us the greatest lessons of truth and morality. Faith in God, love for our fellowman, fortitude in danger, fidelity to duty, bravery in immortality—these are!

Yee eat ent Prac Ee @ eee \ tA Fe, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1218 THE WANDERLUST AGAIN The great northward movement of Xegroes is beginning again, almost be- fore the passing of winter, and in spite of the fuel and food conditions. A great many people of the United States, some for one reason and some for another, are wondering what may be the primal and effecting causes of mi- gration, The subject comes seriously to the fore again with the passing of winter and another growing tidal wave of black humanity moving toward the north. Why may this be when the city Ne- pro is receiving higher wages and bet- ter working conditions than ever be fore? Why does the rural Negro di- yest himself of his -connections and properties st a thme when prospects and considerations on the farm appear brightest? Many ideas have been advanced dur- ing the three years that, the exodus hag been going on, during which time the total migration hasbeen variously estimated at from $00,000 to 2.000,000 souls. Some have attributed it sim- ply to the lure of higher wages; some have assfened it to the hard condi- tions of Jabor along with low wages, yarticularly in farming sections. When, however, one sets over against these claims the general increasee of wages, the hetter working conditions and the abundant prosperity among farming peoples during the last year, one finds that he must find addi- tional causes and impulses to migra- tion, because migration goes merrily on. Men, women and children are atill restive and restless to try for bet- ter fortunes at the north, where they are promised* poor housing, hard cli- mates, excessive rents and high priced foodstuffs, industrial antagonisms and riots, disease and death. Those who know the inner current of Negro opinion, who are conscious ef the soul impulses and emotions, know that, while oft-cited reasons are contributory, there Me helow the depths ot economic consideration yet more se- nous reacors why this throng of Iabor- ers, skilled and unskilled, almost in panic and abandoned, is beating a path northward. This déeper, more-impelling cause is no less subtle than certain, because while it surely grips and pos- sesses every one who heeds the wan- derlust, it does not find other definite expression save only in the act of mi- grating. 7 ‘The growing consciousness of social oppression, intensifying and harrass- ing Negroes of all classes and condi- tions,’because all these are thinking, turesome and exploring and purely an- mal fnstinct alone will drive men from discomfort to comfort from unkindness to kindness, from proscription to op- portunity, from serfdom to freedom. Under stress of discrimination on every hand, narrowed opportunity for Uyelihood and education for his chil- dren, the lack of definite hope for im- Provement, it wonld be ennatural for Negroes not to try possibly better for- tune in change, Misfortune, disad- vantage and low estate have been great teachers, and the victims of these con- ditions have thought and planned to escape. them, when they could. “Sweet are the uses of adversity,” sald Shakespeare, ang adversity has been “a great enlizhtener to all suffering and oppressed clossen = throughour =the .world, The Jew learned in his op pression, a8 did also the peagant class- es of other European pooples, until, they had wrung thelr measure of eco- nomic and social’ freedom from thelr masters and oppressors, , The Negro bas no sentimental Iove for the north; he does not go there because it was the home of abolition. Thst would be unthinking and fool- Ish. He gees because he thinks he Sees a better chance in the unusual conditions that exist there at this time. He knows the north is cold- blooded, commercialized and ercena- ry. Heexpects to find that, and does not go to become the ward and pro- tectorate of Negrophiles. He has no such misgivings or yain imaginings. He goes to work where workers arc ‘worthler of thelr hire, as he thinks. . The south will not awakeh to the passing of the basis of its wealth—its ‘Negro labor—until tt ts too late, This fact seems certain. The south is tco self-centered and stubborn and set in its way, to learn its lesson in time, Like getting religion. it must be con- ¥inced before salvation can come, and it will be too late after conviction, The sonth feels that somehow, in the curious turn of things, normal con- ditions will return. ‘Things have al- ways heretofore righted themselves and they will do so again, But the food old days of surplus and the over- supply of cheap and docile Tabor will never return. If things are not to’get evenworse than they now are, the ood south must take immeiliate steps to stem the tide of migration. ‘The south knows oxactly what to do; FIGHTING OVER AFRICA (there iS certainly a very great deal of truth in the claiin that the real cause of the great war les in the greed of the principal nations involved over south African territory.

It has been a sore and embittered and jealous rivalry and competition their, and yet nations must j expand and continue to grow or they will overrun their home territory and become decadent, commercially and, perhaps, morally.

There were about sixty-five guests present who made possible an evening full of pleasure and enjoyment. Dancing was indulged in until 12 o'clock at which time preparations for the banquet table was made. During the spreading of the table the guests repaired to the third floor of the building where card playing and other amusements were enjoyed. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mrs. L. M.
