The People'sPaper The Trade Maker VOL. VII. NO. 11 N.A.A.C.P. TAKES UP PL JONES' CASE WITH SECRETARY OF WAR Says It Is Up To The War Department To Decide Whether Color-ed Soldiers Are To be Denied Accommodations On Trains Because of Color, Even Though The Government Has Paid For Same. The national Association for the Advancement of Colored People has sent a letter to the Secretary of war, asking for a ruling on the attitude of the War Department, in the case of Dr. S. P. Jones, volunteer of, St. Louis, who while on his way to Camp Cody, Denning, N. M., traveling on train and transportation furnished by the government, was ordered out of a Pullman car by the train, conductor at Texarkana, on the border between Texas and Arkansas. The association's letter says, in part: "This incident seems to put squarely up to the War Department for decision whether the department will insist that enlisted men traveling under government orders shall be accorded the kind of service authorized by the government and provided for by the transportation furnished, to-wit: service without discrimination in Pullman cars when Pullman service is authorized and provided by the department." In a statement concerning this case Mr. Shillady, Secretary of the Association, said that the case itself involved the question of whether the government was going to allow its soldiers, because they were Colored, to be denied Pullman accommodations even though the government had ordered and paid for such accommodations, merely because prejudiced elements in the South were disallowed to allow Colored people to sit in the same conches with them. Y. M. C. A. FLAG/RAISING NEW BUILDING JULY 7 The next great Y. M. C. A. meeting will be held at Union Memorial Church, Sunday afternoon, 1 p.m. The Y. M. C. A. workers are striving to raise $3,000 by this day thus bringing the total collections up to $35,000. The government is urging this building at Pine and Ewing so that the two hundred soldier students may be sent here for training. The Association has been among the first in the country in this service to the government, in the housing of white soldiers and now that the opportunity for the housing of two hundred Colored men has come there can be no hesitancy. Every loyal St. Louisan who subscribed to the fund to erect the building at Ewing and Pine should pay his pledge, in order that the building be pushed to completion. If everyone do this part, there is no doubt that the $3,000 will be raised thus bringing the Y. M. C. A. building fund to the $35,000 mark. Prominent men will appear on the program. After the meeting in the Union Memorial Church the audience will proceed to the new building at Pine and Ewing where flag raising exercises will be held by the G. A. E. Veterans. A service flag for the members in the army at this time will be unfurled. BIBLE CHAUTAUQUA A large and attentive audience was present last Sunday night at the Bible Chaundaqua Tent, cor. Leffingwell and Lucas avenues, to hear Evangelist T. S. Willis discuss the "Kaiser's Doom," as foretold in prophecy. It was made very clear from the Scriptures that there will never be again a united Europe under one ruler as is the dream of Germany. It was shown from the prophecy of Daniel that there were to be only four universal kingdoms on earth, the same were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. The next world kingdom will be when Christ comes and sets up his kingdom, which is represented by the stone that destroyed the great image in the second chapter of Daniel. The subject to be discussed Sunday night will be Spiritualism. It is a very "live, question" today. The world's interest has been intensified in the subject by the great war that is now going on. Those whose fathers, brothers and sons have fallen on the gore covered field of carriage are turning to spiritualism in their bereavement and sorrow for consolation. They are led to believe that they can hold sweet communion with those who have fallen in death. The interest in spiritualism is causing people to leave their churches in which they were reared and in which their fathers worshiped God. They feel that they are finding a greater morality and spirituality than in the churches. The great question to be settled is, Is it of God or is it of the last day delusions predicted in the Bible! What are the spirits that return to communicate with the living? The subject will be taken up and thoroughly discussed from every angle both from history and the Bible. The Chantanqua will continue a few weeks longer. When the tent will be pitched in another position of the city or moved to some other city in the state.

He waived requisition and was delivered to Colored officers Mills and Green who took him back to the east side. The entire St. Louis force was on the lookout for Smith and the capture is considered a good one.

P. of St. Louis, the occasion being the formal launching of a great campaign and drive to raise $4,000 with which to clear the debt on their valuable property located at 2923 Morgan Street, preparatory to erecting a more modern hall and office building. Promptly at 7:30, notwithstanding, the inclement weather, the members of the various branches began assembling at the hall and from the amount of enthusiasm displayed by every one it was evident from the beginning that the plans as arranged by the committee would be successfully carried out. Included in these plans was the Twilight parade from the hall to Union Memorial church. The U. R. K. of P., the U. R. Knights of Tabar and the military ranks of other secret orders had been invited as escorts and upon their arrival the marshal gave orders for the procession to move. The parade was led by the First Regiment band of the U. R. K. of P. and the boys never appeared to better advantage. Arriving at the church, L. E. Ford, D. G. M., who, together with Dr. R. G. Shaw, is leading the drive, made the opening remarks and after the invocation by the Rev. Keviere, district superintendent of the M. E. Church, introduced Dr. Shaw, who in his usual forceful manner told why the property should at once be cleared of debt and a more modern building erected which will be in keeping with the progressive spirit of Odd Fellowship, Dr. B. F. Abbott and Mrs. Victorin Clay Haley, president of the Colored. Women's Unit of the Waf Council of National Defense, both made inspiring talks. At this point Dr. Shaw stated that one's interest would not be measured by his enthusiasm alone but by the amount he was willing to give to this ciscode and in a very few minutes $13.40 in cash had been raised and subscriptions to the amount of $1,000 had been pledged, to be paid during the months of July and August. Each member of the order was asked to give at least $5 but there were some who subscribed as high as $25. Many friends also contributed. The spirit of Odd Fellowship was never higher than at present and it is freely predicted that before this drive closes every member of the order and many of their friends will have given at least $5 toward this great project. In complying with the request of the Chamber, of Commerce that our organization take part in the patriotic parade and demonstration on July 4, every Odd Fellow in St. Louis together with the Uniform Rank is requested to be at the Lindell Ave. entrance to Forest Park, at 4:30, p. m., sharp, on July 4, and take part in this great demonstration. GRAND LEADER GIRLS EXCURSION A grand moonlight extension will be given by the Grand Leader Girls on the magnificent Steamer - Liberty, Monday evening, July 1.

E. CHURCH WILL RAISE $80,000,000 The Methodist Episcopal Church has planned a great financial drive for Christianity. It is a drive for eighty millions of dollars to be raised in five years by this church for home and foreign missions. 1919 is the centenary of the organization of the missionary work in this church and the celebration will begin with this finance campaign. Last week all the district superintendents of the Methodist Church were called to Columbus, Ohio, for inspiration and schooling in this great proposition of the church. About seven hundred district superintendents, college professors, all the bishops and missionary workers from every part of the church come together to consider the stock in detail. On the way to and from Columbus several district superintendents and college professors either worshiped or preached at Union Memorial Church. The entire work of the Methodist Episcopal Church has been gone over this past year by a commission of experts and the needs of each community and local church have been considered and out of this eighty millions of dollars every need will be supplied. It is estimated that the Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Louis need at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of this eighty millions of dollars for the efficiency of their church work in this city. Union Memorial Church is clearing off her debt, getting ready for this big drive, in Methodism. She is planning her organization and training to do her part for she is scheduled to receive seventy-five thousand dollars for a parish house and other accommodations for efficiency in her work PULLMAN PORTERS ORGANIZE UNION PULLMAN PORTERS ORGANIZE UNION New York City.—On Thursday evening, June 20, the Pullman Employees gathered at Civic League Hall, 184 W. 135th Street, subject to a call issued by Messrs. James C. Canegan, Charles H. Florence, Pullman Employees and C.W. McDougald. Ex-Assistant District Attorney. The ready response which the men made to the call and the enthusiasm shown, were all that could be expected. The hall was crowded to the street long before the hour designating the call had arrived, and it was manifest upon the face of every man that he had come with a purpose and was determined to carry out his mission. The spirit was everywhere manifest that the Pullman Employees had come to the conclusion that they must, from now on, receive a living wage. Mr. William Collins, General Organizer of the American Federation of Labor, who was sent to represent that body, in an able address, stated the attitude of the American Federation of Labor towards the Colored worker that the Federation felt precisely the same towards the Colored worker as it towards the white, and it was up to the Colored worker, just as it was up to the white worker, to affiliate with the Federation and better his condition. When Mr. Collins had finished his address, the chairman of the meeting announced that he would entertain a motion expressive of the will of the men on the question of their unionization and the motion was at once made that the men organize, which was enthusiastically and unanimously carried. Immediately the men proceeded to join and pay their initiation fee of $1,000 each and 218 men responded. But for the lateness of the hour, it is almost certain that every man would have joined. So eager were the men to connect themselves with the Union that they remained until after 2:00 a'clock to get an opportunity to register and pay their fee. The unprecedented activity of the Knights of Pythias in the State of Missouri in their campaign for 1,000 new members has necessitated the return to the city of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd. The Grand Chancellor has been busy night and day since the early part of March, 1918, and has visited practically every lodge in the state perfecting the plans for the success of this gregarious membership drive. The enthusiasm that is in a fever heat throughout the State is vivid testimony of the great success, that has been achieved. The drive for new members in Kansas City has had the effect of necessitating the setting up a new lodge which brings Kansas City's total number of lodges up to twelve. The new lodge will be instituted Saturday night July 6th, with an unusual large membership. This splendid accomplishment shows that Kansas City wade awake with St. Louis slightly in the lead, since St. Louis on April 9th organized their twenty-first Lodge, seventy-five members strong, but Kansas City plans to go the next one better by enamoring their new lodge with the slogan "100 members." Swimming free to members who swim. No members, three cents a dip.

Caston, chairman St. Louis Liberty Congress Committee. DETROIT, MICH. Detroit, Michigan, is the fastest growing city in America. Thousands of Colored people have gone there within the last few years attracted by the high wages. Many St. Louisans have gone there and entered business in which they are succeeding nicely. Among the most prominent is H. S. Ferguson, the restaurant owner who for many years ran a chain of restaurants in St. Louis. Mr. Ferguson is doing a large business in Detroit. His eating places are widely patronized, and the people of that city are proud of the service rendered by him. He is making a specialty of his New Silver Grill, assisted by Mrs. Bettie Simons. Misses Lucile Farmer and Florine (unily the latter, being Mr. Ferguson's niece) are also able assistants in his work. Speaking of his annual success, Mr. Ferguson states that prompt and courteous service were the factors in winning lasting customers. Hotel Tanzy is located on St. Antoine street convenient to the heart of the city, not far from the great industrial center. Has just been enlarged to meet the popular demand of not only the traveling public, but regular guests find an economical place to stay. Mr. Tanzy is quite a business man, affable and diligent. He waters to only first-class people. His dining-room service is popular and cannot be excelled. St. Louisans will be pleased to hear that their many friends are doing well of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Doo, are engaged in respective lines of work, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Banks and many others. The writer saw and talked to a number of Colored men who say they are earning as high as eighteen dollars a day. It is no unusual thing to see Colored men as motormen operating streetcars over the streets in many parts of the city. ALL DAY PICNIC This means welcome to you.

FIRST DRAFTED ST. LOUIS BOYS NOW IN FRANCE Colored Soldiers Highly Praised. All Men Now In Class One Will Be Called To Camps Within Next Sixty Days. 70,000 Colored Men Called For July. Age Limit Will Be Extended. Word has reached St. Louis that the Ninety second Division from camp Funston has arrived safely in France. This division carries all the St. Louis men who were drafted last fall. Two St. Louis Lieutenants are with the boys. B. L. Watkins and Henj. H. Mosley. The division, which was stationed at Camp Grant, has also arrived in France. Lieuts. Walter Lowe and Charles H. Feyring of St. Louis are with them. The meals served were palatable and the accommodations favorable in every way. Mr. Jones says he is confident that the St. Louis boys will make good at Funston. The list of men sent from the Third Ward last Friday was changed after the Argus went to press. The men sent were: Lucian Crocket, James Sharpe, Audred Ballinger, Henry Franklin Furrar. Negro Soldiers Brave Negro Soldiers-Brave The War Department has spat is issued a bulletin which gives high praise to the brave Negro soldiers who have been doing heroic fighting in France. Gen. Pershing said he could not commend too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work. To disprove the claim that Colored troops are given more hazardous posts than white, it is shown that there have been but 27 casualties in the ranks; three died of wounds, twenty two of disease and one severely wounded. One regiment had been in the trenches a month before any losses were suffered. This is almost unheard of on the Western front. All Class I Men Will Be Called 'Within Sixty Days Seventy thousand Colored men will be sent to camps during the month of July. The orders for entreatment read: Forty-five thousand between July 18 and 20; 25,011 between July 29 and 31. This number is nearly double the force called during anne when 40,000 Colored men were sent to twelve cantonments. St. Louis quotas was 85. This would indicate that more than 250 will be sent away between the above dates if the same method of proportion is used. However, St. Louis may be called upon for a larger quota than these estimates show. There are more than 3,000 Colored men in Class I in St. Louis. The seventeenth Ward has over 4,200 enrolled. It is almost certain that all of the uncalled men now in Class I subject to general military service will be called, within the next sixty days before the last of August. To Extend-Age Limit It is evident that the government will be compelled to extend the age unit. There is no likelihood, however, that any changes will be made before Congress takes a vacation and rejoices in the fall. A new registration will probably not be held before after the first of next year. It is believed that the age limits will be changed to take in all men from 20 to 40, although a number of Senators and Representatives favor 18 to 40. The government will be able to furnish the Allies more than 3,000,000 men out of the present registration. More Radio Men Leave Three more radio students are to leave for camp, Mr. Ross will report at College Station, Tex., on July 1. Mr. McLemore will report at Ft. Lawrence on July 5, and Mr. Thos. Giles at Howard University. The class in St. Louis is under the supervision of W. H. Hoffman at Summer High, and he has made rapid progress with the first set of men, who have advanced wonderfully. There is opportunity for more boys to enlist in this service. Beginners are welcome at all times and should report on Monday, Wednesday or Friday nights at Summer High School. Fearance Joins Artillery Fearance Joins Artillery W. Silas Ferrance, formerly secretary of the Boosters' Club, who was sent by the radio school to St. Leuven, enworth, has joined the radio department of the artillery, and passed through St. Louis Tuesday en route to camp N. J. Boys Enjoy Funston Trip The trip of the 160 men who left St. Louis on last Friday was a great success, according to Secretary Jones, who made the trip with the Boys. After the 'train had pulled out song sheets provided by the Y. M. C. A. were distributed, and the boys began to sing such familiar airs as "Over There," "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France," "America," etc. Among the 164 were some men of rare talent, one saxophonist of unusual ability, and another fellow who had four years' experience as a cornetist led the singing, and great singing it was. singer A. A. E. Malone, who made the trip with the boys as far as Kajasan City, made talks in each car, telling the boys what the people back home expected of them, and holding up to them the fact that every one must make good. The men arrived at Asahi at 12 p.m. Friday and found the officers and men ready to receive them. The next morning they were up bright and early for breakfast and were served wieners, baked potatoes, roffee. An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS DRAFTED UIS BOYS IN FRANCE Highly Praised.

The men sent were; Lusian Crocket, James Sharpe, Andred Hallinger, Hury Franklin Furar. The Tenth Ward reports that the following men are delinquent: Nathaniel James, 3640 Marine; Louis Tarner, 3106 Pine; Ed Mills, 1218 Darwin street; Jacksonville, Fla., Lonzo Gunif, Giffon, Tenn. These men are urged to report immediately to the Ward Board, 3313 South Seventh, and save themselves being charged as detersers. WHITE DRAFTEES GO ON RAMPAGE En Route to Camp The train which left St. Louis Mon- day night with 644 drafted white men for Camp Pike stapped over at Poplar Bluff between 3 and 4 a.m. for water and ice. The men left the train, raided two saloons and two restaurants, car- rying off liquor and food and leaving n trail of broken plate glass and empty shelves to be discovered by residents, who failed to grasp what was going on until the train had departed. The damage done was more than $150. The St. Louis men were from the First to the Tenth Wards inclusive. Fifteen of the alleged leaders were taken from the train at Little Rock by police and locked up. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS HAVE COLORED HOME GUARDS Minneapolis and St. Paul each have two Home Guard companies. These form a battalion under the command of Major Jose H.

The welcome that was extended to the popular pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. on Church last Sunday was almost indescribable. Amen, Hallejush. Tumult of applauses greeted the announcement that Rev. Dr. Shaw had been returned as pastor of Metropolitan Church. The choir came down from the choir stand, and circled round the diar with a hymn of praise and thanksgiving as a token of their great joy in having their much beloved pastor return to them again. Almost on every face was that sign of great joy. It may be described as joy, mingled with tears. The congregation was large and enthusiastic, every available spot was taken, people standing in and out of the church; such a demonstration was never witnessed before in this church. Somehow, Dr. Shaw has deeply in grapted himself into the very hearts of the people of Metropolitan Church, and the people of St. Louis as well. His sermon in the morning was powerful and inspiring discourse, pictured from the life of Moses and Harab at the foot of Mount Sinai when they were breaking camp for the Promised Land. Metropolitan is a wonderful spiritual house. One certainly gets what he goes for at Metropolitan, that is, if he has gone for a Gospel message he never fails in getting it. The songs of the choir and congregation are soul enchanting. Come early Sunday morning if you would hear the especially prepared message that he will deliver. A lot in Orchardville makes a high-class investment and costs but little.

Times and con- ditions have wrouxht wonderful changes and Negroes are think- ing as never-before. They have begun to realize their powers and possibilities more fully than they have heretofore. = A careful survey or inquiry among the leaders, and even the masses of Coloréd people, will.show, that their complaint is—based on the fact that the Republican leaders do not give the Negro hia just récognition in the party councils, nor a reasonable amount of the spoils of victory. “fn Hon. Frank M. Slater, committeeman from the 17th Ward, has been quoted as saying thitythe Negroes were ensitled to more consideration at the hands of the Republican Party than they have heretofore received, and that he favored a “‘fifty-fifty” proposition, so far as endorsifg justices of the peace and constables in the Fourth District is concerned. We wish to commend the spi it of, such expression, coming from one of the leaders of the Republican Party in this City. { z a The Party leaders of St, Louis will strengthen thelr aig and| ~saake sure of their Ey considering as one of their mem- _ bers has‘done, the “‘fifty-fifty’’ proprosition as tothe justices and constables in the Fourth District-—-=-—--—____-+-.___ ~. If the voting strength. is a basis of recognizition, then, the Negro is entitled to more than “fifty-fifty.” If the Negro Len nied a seat at the Party councils, then the Party leadérs sfiould meet the Negro councils and confer with them concerning. the G. O.P. ticket. : : a It is to be regretted that some of the men selected bythe Party leaders are’ known to be unfair and unusually prejudiced towards Negroes. Nodoubt, the leaders did not know this: but the Negroes know them. We have felt the sting of their preju- diced words and actiogs, and it is, safe to say.that such individuals will meet defeat at thé primary. | a 4 The Republican. Party in the City of ‘St. Louis will need a strong ticket'to win’ It cannot hope to be successful by ignoring the Strength of the Negro vote at this time. ~~ s ? ‘An Argus Eye & SCUNNNANCHANTECNOUNUNACHE Everybody wants fu dy virt.

U.S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION M. O. Gearfield TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seely's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils principally coconut oil and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is $30 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his whole saler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv PHOTO-PENNANTS.

AS NEAR AS YOUR TELEPHONE DISTANCE IMMATERIAL In a metropolitan city of this size there are people who constantly suffer with their feet, and who try every remedy available; even old knives and razors to obtain relief. Let the price you pay for these remedies be a business proposition and have the cause removed; it will benefit you in dollars and cents. Ton often by trying every remedy and old instruments not only brings sorrow to the sufferer, but may bring misfortune and cause death to knock at your doer. The time has arrived when we should look forward and not backward in caring for our feet. When nature put forth man upon the earth, every bone, muscle, nerve and ligament was normal, but most people transgress the laws of nature by abusing their feet with ill-fitting foot-wear and cause corns, bunions, ingrows and many other growths to migrate there. My new system of extracting these growths without pain has won for me a nice practice in this city. My many years of practice and careful study of the foot is your assurance of good work.

Poston, who was the master of ceremonies, introduced the first speaker, Mr. W. H. King, who is most wonderful and elemental terms explained the purposes of the Race Service Bureau and made an appeal to the local citizens of Kansas to rally to the support of this country cause.

From this text the members of St. Paul listened to a most interesting discourse Sunday, morning. Inasmuch as we have extolled the ability of Dr. Johnson as a Gospel preacher, we will attempt to refrain from that in this issue as puch as possible, but it is the consensus of opinion that the sermons delivered by him Sunday morning and Sunday night will stand out as masterpieces of the many sermons delivered here at St. Paul. No one present will ever forget the striking points, the well connected links and his illustrations, which 'were all in keeping with the sermon. It is difficult to tell which was the more effective, the morning or evening sermon. We will say for the benefit of those who failed to attend the evening service that they missed a rare treat. As we have heretofore, there seems to be but two objective points in Dr. Johnson's life and they are as follows: leading a spotless life and preaching a pure and unadulterated Gospel. Many, united with the church Sunday morning and Sunday night, and we note with pleasure that the church is taking on new life. Next Sunday will be known as Young People's Fidelity Day. Bishop Parks will be with us and all the young people of the church are cordially invited to be present. Bishop Parks will bring the message Sunday morning. Sunday, at 3 o'clock, Children's Day program will be rendered in connection with the graduating exercise of the Primary Department of the Sunday school. A special invitation is extended to strangers who are visiting in our city.

No matter what your activity is, you are devoting your time, energies and a large share of your profits to the winning of the great war. Now a word as to pianos. I have been in St. Louis twelve years and in the piano business ten. I have been very successful, having sold 182 instruments in the 212 years. I have been with the present company. I must have made satisfied customers. During the first ten days of June I sold $1,800 worth of goods. I learnt many years ago that the best way to get satisfaction is to give it. Part of the result of my efforts is beginning to bear fruit. Just tell me what you want. I do not consider a sale ended after you have received and paid for your piano. That is only the first step towards a better acquaintance. These pianos do and will give satisfaction. They are factory made and have a $4,000,000 guarantee back of them. All are marked and sold at one price. There is no commission - house profit. The customers get the benefit, as we pay no commissions. We have uprights, from $50 up, and players from $300 up.
