We Reach 60,000 Colored People In St. Louis Each Week. What Have You To Sell? ISAAC FIS PRIZE WINNER WILL APPEAR AT THE Y. M. C. A. Noted University Editor Of Fisk U. Won First Prize Offered By St. Louis Post-Dispatch On The Subject Of "Why People Should Come To Missouri." Extraordinary program will be the attraction of the Pine St. Department Y, M. C.A. andorhamn, July 4, when Prof. Isaac Fisher, educator, orator and scholar will shock. He is the most honored man of his Race along his line, because of his peculiar fitness and adaptability for research work. A Prize Wizard—Prof. Fisher has entered many contests of varied nature and subjects, and always receives favorable mention. Fisher's motto when he writes is, "Get the truth," and nothing awesves him from getting to the very bottom of anything in which he is interested. "When I examine a subject," he says, "I am not white, not black, neither Democrat, Republican, nor Progressive; neither a free trader nor a protectionist; neither Methodist nor Baptist; and I lay aside, absolutely, my personal prejudices, and seek for this truth." The most recent of these prizes was announced in Everybody's Magazine for September, when the first prize of five hundred dollars was awarded to him for the best essay on the subject "What We've Learned About Rum." Of this essay the editors of Everybody's Magazine write: "This article is selected by us from nine thousand letters as the best, atlantic discussion of rum." Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. "Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. Mr. Fisher's better sum up the facts about rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkable same suggestions." If any man in America deserves the title, "Doctor of Philosophy," it is this young Negro, a graduate of a school of no higher grade than normal; because he has done, again and again, more work in the philosophic expoition of economic questions of world wide importance than any university requires of candidate for the doctorate. Without even mentioning a large number of essay contests in which the prize were less than ten dollars, this man a Negro, a Tuskegee graduate, has been, winner some twenty or more times in nation-wide contests with the best brains in America, of all races. He has won on the following subjects: What We've Learned About the Rum Question :.....$500.00 German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts. (Alone and insued Mr. Fisher had to master in a few months sufficient reading knowledge of German to be able to write this essay). 400.00 Ten of the Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Wassouri :.....100.00 A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Suitor to his 100.00 Scales and the Houswife.....50.00 Digits of the Uses of Adding Machryza.....50.00 The Relation Between Manual training in the Public Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency.....10.00 The Most Practical Method of Beginning a Reduction of the Tariff.....10.00 Honorable Mentions (Upen the request of the Chief Examiner of the United States Tariff Board, this essay was sent to that body for his use) These are only the "big" essays he has written. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Chip of the World, in Toronto, Canada, Mr. Flahers' paper on "Advertising and Selling" was selected by the Committee on Awards as one of the "for four best on the subject," thereby giving him a winning place. In the first international context he has entered. His broad sympathy was further shown when the III-starred Titanic went down and added to the grim tragedies of the sea. Touched by the story of the passing of Mr. and Mrs. Straus, Mr. Fisher wrote a five stanza poem on "The Last Full Measure of Devotion, Swing an abstraction to Mrs. feider Straus." This was published in The Reform Advocate, Rabbi Nil Smith Hirsch's paper, Chicago. Its middle and final stanza follow: "Mud the changing scenes of wedlock we have journeyed side by side. During life our interests have mutual been; Now, in death I will not fail then, let whatword will battle—I am ready! Let eternity begin. "He will keep them. He will raise them, they shall stand before his throne. They shall see him face to face and with Him be; They together, war Immortal, in His kingdom He shall own. For the Lord our God is Master of the sea." The St. Louis Argus [Name] The writer educator orator has been honored again and again. To give but one illustration. When the Committee of One Hundred, composed of the most prominent citizens of Chicago, arranged to celebrate in 1910, the one hundred anniversary of the birth of Theodore Parker, they decided to invite Isaac Fisher to speak for the American Negro, and he was the only Colored man on a program which included men and women from the United States, Europe and India, and which was graced by such names as Prof. George Vincent, Edwin D. Mead, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulie, Jane CONVENTION OF WESTERN BAPTISTS Will Be Held in St. Louis at the Calvary Baptist Church, 2625 Morgan Street, St. Louis, 15. The Western Baptist, Convention will hold its 15th Annual Session at Calvary Baptist Church, July 18 to 21, 1919. At this time the Messengers will assemble in this city to raise ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for Western College, Macon, Mo.

Moseley, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church of this city, is president. It is expected that there will be a large delegation, and St. Louis has an opportunity to witness a great gathering of the Baptist family. THE LOCAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE THE LOCAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League's date for its annual meeting is drawing near. At a meeting of the Board of Directors some two weeks ago, the temporary headquarters were changed from 2333s Market street to 2243s Market street, and Mr. H. A.

So well was young Fisher's address received—and his subject was, "Has the Negro kept Faith?"—that at the last moment at the request of promi- nent-hearers, he was placed, on the list of banquet speakers with men and women who were regarded as the "cream of the cream," to use vernac- ular, who had been notified in ad- vance of the meeting. Nevertheless, Flasher's five-minute speech was the sensation of the evening; he stirred the banquet guests to burning enthusiasm. PIONEER INFTS ARE ARRIVING Army transports arriving at American ports have carried detachments of the Pioneer Infantries during the past week. All of the 808th is believed to have arrived and part of the 808th. There are six of these infantries, the 804, 805, 806, 807, 808 and 809. Nearly 1500 St. Louis boys are scattered among all of the regiments except the 807th and 808th. They were selected from boys who were drafted in June July and August, 1918, and include all the 21-year-old class of 1918. These boys did not reach the front line, trunches, but were in the reserve lines. They, however, had dangerous duties to perform and acquitted themselves with credit, which is shown by the @onors which have been conferred upon them by General Pershing. There is little chance of the St. Louis boys reaching home in large units at a time. It is not known just how long they will be held at camps before discharge. Some of them should begin coming in by July 4. LATER The 807th Pioneer Infantry has arrived in Philadelphia. There are a few St. Louis boys with this unit. Freemasons Express Their Appreciation Of District Deputy J. L. Henderson Last Saturday a public installation of the recently elected officers of the Masonic lodges of the 1st District of Missouri was held at the Masonic hall, 2619 Easton avenue, under the supervision of District Grand Master J. L. Henderson, assisted by Deputy Grand Master Clark, and fifteen worshipful master were officially inducted into offices for the ensuing year. The occasion was witnessed by quite a large crowd. The crowning feature of the evening was the gift of a beautiful gold watch, artistically decorated with Masonic symbols, which was given through the various lodges of this jurisdiction to District Deputy Henderson, as a token of the high esteem in which he is held by the craftsmen and for the indefatigable service he has rendered the institution he so capably represents. The watch is valued at $150, and was presented by Deputy Grand Master Crittenden Clark. An organization of quite a few select men, representing different stations in the civic life of St. Louis, has been formed and is meeting each Monday evening at the Masonic hall, 2619 Easton preparatory to the establishment of a lodge of Masons. J. L. Henderson, Sr. is the promoter. TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY RETURNS TO COLUMBUS, N. M COLUMBUS, N. MEX. June M. The Twenty-fourth Infantry, Colored, is on its way back here from the border after penetrating into Mexico and routing the Villa forces.

ST.LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1919 Much Enthusiasm Shown in Open'ng of Membership Campaign. Goal of One Thousand Members Assured. Amid their new song, to the tune of Yankee Doodle the Y. M. C. A. workers got a good start on their campaign at their meeting Thursday night. A large crowd of workers gathered for the opening. The men are working with great enthusiasm to "Change a Heart." In the lobby of the new Pine St. Dept. Y, M. C. A. there is a great board containing a thousand hearts. It would be interesting to any of the public to see it. The Campaign started on June 23 and ends on July 3rd, by which time one thousand men and boys, according to the plans, will be added to the Pine Street Department membership. Among the new captains who have been added this week are 92nd Division: Captaina W. M. McAllister, E. L. Harris, A. C. Chapman, J. R. Inge, F. O. Blount, Pearl Abernathy, B. T. Weaver, Frank Spant, Willis Middlebrooks, C. C. Wilson, Andrew Wright, T. J. R. Wilson, Chas. Morrison and Ward Greer. New Captains in 93rd Division are: Frank Wilson R. Williams, J. C. Thomas, T. L. Bay, Fred Span, Tecumseh Bradsaw, G. W. Jordan, and Olive Reeves. The privileges offered to the men in St. Louis are equal to if not superior to that of any club in St. Louis. As one of the pieces of printed matter put out by the campalmets says: The Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A. is a high-grade, low-cost young men's club, Christian, but not sectarian. 2. It is the next thing to home for the young man away from home. 3. It is a place for a young man to find friends and to make himself a friend to the man who needs friends. 4. It is an athletic organization that does not use men to promote athletics, but uses athletics to develop men. The Y. M. C. A. is: The spirit of Youth with the dew and freshness of the morning. It is the spirit of Manhood pressing forward with mildday heat and burdens. It is the spirit of Christ and His deathless life and 'His unquenchable enthusiasm. An opportunity is afforded to any one, who will to help "worthy boys" by giving them a membership in the Y. Any one who cares to may help some worthy boy to better his life. At the headquarters of the membership campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mrs. Myrle Johnson-Iudlin stated that the work was progressing nicely and the chances were bright for a very successful campaign. Mr. E. A. McKinney and Jas. H. Tanter, who seem to be doing quite a deal of personal work, stated that they needed more personal workers. It was also stated at headquarters that 20 districts had been established throughout the city, and one block system was being put in force. It is expected that Mr. Geo. L. Vaughn, chairman of the Executive Committee, will return about the last of the week to assist in bringing the campaign to a close. All those who have not joined should do so at once, thus assuring the ten thousand members needed for the local branch. MEMORIAM IN HONOR OF MADAM C. J.

Whites Now Willing to Let Colored Affiliate. ATLANTIC City. June 26.—The great upheaval among the Negroes of the United States and their demands for justice, as well as their drift into industry from the South during the war, was reasonable for the drive on the part of 15 or 16 Colored men who are delegates from the convention which resulted in the unconditional promise of the American Federation of Labor in the second week of its convention here to open the door of all labor organizations to the black man. The request, made from the platform by no less a person than Samuel Gompers for an announcement from all unions who would welcome Negroes into their ranks or had done so in the past. From all parts of the hall the chief officials of the big unions responded favorably. It seemed like a Methodist revival as the labor leaders got up to testify that they drew no color line on their organizations. but the Negro delenation was not so easily put off, and at least one of the v number, John A Lacey, the Colored man who is a secretary of the Central Labor Council, of Nortok. V commented in bitter terms about the "dirty treatment" the Negro has received in the Urtied States. The whole matter of the race question, which for a long time divided the white man from the black in th DAILY PAPERS BEGIN TO SEE THE LIGHT OF FAIR PLAY Appeals To League Of Nations For Relief From Cruelty And Oppression, By People Of Our Racial Group. Has Been Humiliating To Our Delegates At Paris. By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, June 26.—A careful survey, covering the entire nation, has disclosed to the Associated Negro Press the fact that there is a new awakening for justice in behalf of the people of our racial group. In speaking of this change of sentiment, the outrages of various sports, are not overlooked. It is a fact, however, that there has been more written and spoken truth, in the last six months, relative to the injustices heaped upon us, than has ever before occurred since slavery was abolished. The expression quoted herewith from the Pittsburgh Chronicle is typical rather than exceptional, so far as the newspapers are concerned. For some reason, the editorial writers seem to have "struck their gait," on the subject of fair play, and are going at the hypocracies in a fashion that should bring cheer to any people. Speaking with reference to the denial of rights, in the light of the conspicuous attitude of the Peace Conference, the Chronicle says: "These American citizens are not merely denied their political rights; they are denied that "protection of life without distinction based on race, color or previous condition" to which EMMETTSCOTT AND THE WORLD'S WAR In Address Before N. A. A. C. P. at Cleveland, Gives Figures to Show How Negroes Were Discriminated Against During the War. (Special to The Argus) CLEVELAND, O., June 23—Addressing a public rally of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, in St. John's A. M. E. Church; East 40th street and Central avenue S. E. Emmet J. Scott, assistant to Secretary of War Baker, predicted the formation of a Colored division, officered by Colored men, in the reorganized regular army. While he commended Secretary Baker for his efforts "to function without prejudice to the Colored soldiers," he pointed, out that only 1200 Colored men received commissions while the number of Negroes in service warranted 8000 commissions. "The administration of the selective service act was fair to Colored and white men," he said, adding that there were both five Colored-men appointed to draft boards throughout the country. The Colored race, according to Mr. Scott's statistics, represented 10 percent of the draft registration. The rate of rejection was lower among Colored registrants than among whites, he said, the percentage of rejection for Negroes being 64 to 76 for whites. "We were the only group in America," said Mr. Scott, "who had to fight for the right to fight and then prove we could fight. And we did it." William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, referring to the courage of Colored troops overseas, said "the Colored soldier was safer—and knew it himself—under the shell fire of no man's land than anid the persecuting shafts of race hatred back home." "Courage" he questioned. "Why, it requires more courage for a Colored man to board a Pullman car down about Vicksburg, Miss." than for a white man to go to war. Our troops showed that black is a safe color—it won't run. Rev. John Hurst, bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Baltimore, counselled his audience to "hire the best counsel at the bar, if necessary, that the Colored race in America may come to a full realization of its constitutional rights. In the absence of Moorfield Storey, president of the association, who was reported ill at his home in Boston, Mary White Ovington, New York chairman of the executive board presided. "The conference of the association opened formally at St. John's Church with addresses of welcome by Mayor Harry L. Davis and Paul L. Feis, resident of the Chamber of Commerce. The response will be by H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, 2467 Central avenue S. E.

The fair is given by the Willing Workers for the benefit of the church, and will be given on the grounds. Many beautiful articles will be on sale. Mrs. J. D. Duke, rector. NO BOAT OUTINGS THIS SUMMER FOR COLORED PEOPLE The Colored people of St. Louis will not have an opportunity to enjoy boat outings on the Mississippi this summer according to information obtainable. The only boat which would have been available was the "Liberty" and it is stated this one was seriously damaged on a trip from Memphis to St. Louis. It is rumors that the Roosters' Club has succeeded in chartering "The 'st. Paul' for a trip at the end of the season. they are entitled by ordinary considerations of humanity, as well as by specific provision in the Constitution of the United States. In effect they are calling attention to the humiliating fact that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution are virtually dead letters. They have heard that the proposed League of Nations is to insure justice to all the people of the earth, and they want their share. Our Negro citizens are not to be blamed for their appeal to what they suppose to be an all-powerful, super-natural organization. Other races are doing exactly the same thing with reference to their own particular problems and injustices. But how humiliating it must be to our delegates at Paris to hear a body of their fellow citizens appealing to the League of Nations for the relief from cruelty and oppression. They can scarcely escape the conviction that reform, like charity, should begin at home and that a splendid start could be made by safeguarding the life and liberties of our host of Negro citizens of the Southern states." Concerning this, A. D. Baker said: "That kind of sentiment cannot swing in the air very long without hitting something." THE AMERICAN WOODMEN LOSE ANOTHER SUIT Mrs. Susie Smith Wins Her Case in Circuit Court. Order Deposes Jas, T. Bush, Whom They Claim is a Detriment to Organization. A judgment was rendered against the American Woodmen in favor of Mrs. Susie A. Smith for $120, with interest, in Judge Falkenhainer's court of the Circuit Division No. 2, last Monday, June 23. The case went to the Circuit Court on an appeal by W. C. White, the supreme commander, from the Justice Court, where Mrs. Smith also won the judgment. This judgment follows close to the decision in favor of J. E. Mitchell against that order in the Circuit Court before Judge Kimmel a few days ago. W. C. White, the head of the order, has boasted of the financial condition of his organization but insists on a law suit to compel them to pay off. He has employed a large law firm in St. Louis to fight the growing claims against the order but they are losing every legal battle. Of course the law firm of Furnberg and Russell is considered of high price men and W. C. White was quite satisfied that he would win out of his many legal entanglements, but they have failed. Many Members Quit Order. Since the Circuit Court has sustained the Judgments against the American Woodman, it has become known that many members have quit the order on account of non-payment of their claims and other dissatisfactions which exist in the local camp. Members are bitter in their complaints against Jas T. Tush whom they say is responsible for most of the troubles of the order. Last Monday night, the members deposed Bush as clerk of the local camp. They claim that he is the cause of the loss of so many members by his "high-hand" methods. Those interviewed by an Argus reporter were jubilant over Bush's fall and they now hope to rebuild the order in the confidence of the people. It was stated that, only a few 'St. Louis members were left in the order now, and that Camps 9, 10 and 12 had consolidated into one camp, which is now No. 14.

PRICE 5 CENTS WHITES START A RACE RIOT IN CHICAGO Negro Killed, Another is Dying. Rioters Attack Colored People in Washington Park District. Several Hundred Police Reserves Are Called. Situation Bad. By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, June 23.—A race war, threatening for weeks, assumed shister, proportions on Chicago's South Side last night, when 200 extra police were rushed to the Washington Park District. "One Negro is dead; another was said to be dying last night. Both were victims of a small army of white men who early yesterday set out with the avowed intention of "cleaning out the blacks" Plan'Night Battle. Information was generally distributed among both whites and Negroes that a big fight was to be waged some time during the night in Washington Park. Pulice of the South Park board, 200 strong, were rushed to the park and kept an all night vigil. Several hundred reserves were ordered, on duty at the Englewood, Fiftieth street, New City and Stock Yards Stations. A special police guard was established at Kenny's undertaking establishment, 5438 S. Halstead street, where the body of the slain Negro was held. Negro Stabbed and Shot. The Negro killed was Robert-Robinson, 514 W. 54th place. Robinson was simply walking to his home. There had been no fight or disturbance. A gang of savage hoodlums attacked him. He had been shot several times, stabbed repeatedly in the back and beaten over the head with billiard cues. The murder occurred shortly after Saturday midnight at 55th street and Princeton avenue. Ollis Harris, 5647 Grove avenue, is the Negro said to be dying. He was shot through the stomach, stabbed and beaten at 57th street and Lafayette avenue. Both were attacked by the same mob.

Prosecuting Attorney Ralph of St. Louis County, at Clayton Tuesday, informed an Argus reporter that he had taken no action in the petition to "suppress Lix Park" an outing place at Kinkloo other than to request some of the parties to call and talk with him. At the sheriff's office a deputy stated that the proprietors of the park had been ordered to sell no more intoxicating Hqours. Conductor Starts' Trouble. The trouble at Kinkloo started last week when a conductor on the Kickwood-Ferguson line slapped a Colored woman during an altercation about car fare. The conductor was afterward beaten by some Colored men. This seemed to arouse the indignation of residents of Ferguson, another suburb, and it was rumored in Kinkloo that a number of them were going to make a night raid on Lix Park. It was learned that many of the women and children of Kinkloo went away for the night, leaving the men to protect the property, but the mob movement did not develop. After this disturbance, the residents of Kinloch meet and decided on a petition to the prosecuting attorney, requesting that no intoxicating liquors be permitted at the park. This was signed by 155 Colored and 11 whites. One white man said he could youth for 115 others. One of the signers told the reporter that the meeting and petition was dot the result of fear of the whites, but a desire to protect the honor and intelligence of the citizens of Kinloch against a class of unscrupulous persons who are being drawn from St. Louis to the resort. He said they did not desire to chase the park. In a conversation with car conductors it was learned that plonickers cause very little trouble and Kinloch residents none. The controversies are generally over car fare. The report was found to be untrue. Only one case was cited and this was due to the pranks of some revelers on the road between the park and car line. Newpaper Report Exaggerated, A St. Louis daily newspaper published an exaggerated and incorrect account of the trouble which tended to give it unjust seriousness. Some of the statements, however, have been corrected in subsequent issues of the paper. Lix Park Still Open We desire to announce to the public and our many friends and patrons that Lix Park is still open and operating. An article appearing in one of the afternoon papers, recently, has had no effect upon the operation of Lix Park and we have been assured by the authorities of the county that Lix Park may stay open and operate so long as the law is compiled with. Soft drinks only, ice cream and barbecue served at all times. Good music and dancing. Beat of order presented at all times.

S.HART In His Thrilling Hart-Style Photoplay "Border Wireless" PAGE FOUR AMUSEMENTS AND SPORT Dr. H.F. M THEATRES MELO-DRAMA AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE. "Haroldack" Jackson and his Twentieth Century Players are putting on an old style mebdrama at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The playlet is entitled, "The Curse of Drink," and the action is conducive of the days of the old Haviland Theatre, before motion pictures began to thrill the theatergoers with wild west, blood curdling plots. The Curse of Drink is based on the novel John Barryform who spent his time and money in a saloon of bad reguire, to the neglect of his faithful wife and young daughter. True to the usual fate of such cul prits, he goes from bad to worse, Ig nores his family for a woman of the dive, goes smoke and finds himself without friends. He dies in misery, craving for just one more drink. Of course there must be plenty of gun play, and the daughter of the proprietor falls an accidental victim at the hands of her own father. This same man later plays his notorious role in the murder of the drunkard. Jackson as Joe William's victim of Greek plays the part to perfection; and the other members of the cast fill their assignments well. There is but one specially introduced, this being a song, "Scratching the Gravel." The playlet is giving excellent satisfaction. The engagement will close Sunday, night. HENRI BOWMAN AND COMPANY COMING NEXT WEEK. "Bowman's Cotton Blossoms" will be the next attraction at the Booker Washington Theatre, beginning Monday night. The company is headed by W. Heart Bowman, St. Louis, popular baritone tenor. The cast consists of ten performers of stellar reputation and is making a hit, in musical comedy and character acting, throughout the circuit. A special mating will be given on Friday, July 4, and goes without saying, (that with the typhoon fans spreading their breezes throughout the house, this will-be the most comfortable place to spend the afternoon on independence Day. "The Carter Case," which starts at The Booker Washington Theatre on Monday, July 11, is said to be the best serial that has been put on the screen. INDIAN LOGIC VERSUS "TRUE RE- LIGION" IN "THE SIGN INVISIBLE" The clergyman in "The Sign Invisible" asks "Lone Deer," the giant breed, to come to church Lone Deer replies: "Red man's God my God. My mother she white—she what you call love my father. She don' mary him. Then white church drive-he away. Red man take her in, but it wat you call 'break her heart—she die—the mother go away—then I am left alone.' Clergyman. "But you must' judge us all by that—there are good and bad amongst us all." Lone Deer: "You say white man's God, true God, but white man's God let his' people turn my mother out, so he no goot. Red man's God he take her in, so I stick to him." See the Deviation of the "Red Men in the great Indian drama." "The Sign Invisible," at the Comet Theatre, Sunday, June 29. Jazzland Almost Ready Tom Turpin's big, dance palace, "Jazzland," will probably be ready to throw open the doors the latter part of next week. The place is beginning to reveal the artistic plants designed for the pleasure of lovers of dancing. The spacious hardwood floor is paralleled on two sides by a promenade containing double rows of tables for serving soft drinks and delicacies. There, are also two merzanine balconies, with tables, running the entire length of the building. There are many full-length mirrors and a prousion of artistic decorations. A restroom each for ladies and gents is being fitted up. Jazzland will be a marvel of beauty and comfort when it opens to the public, and will cater only to the appreciative.

Fred Guerney of the Stockyards station and a squad had arrested about two score suspects yesterday, but only 11 were being held last night. Lient 'Guernsey refused to give the names of the men held, because he explained, the Negroes might obtain vengeance by attacking the homes of those held. "Won't Discriminate"—Alcock. "The situation is most serious." First Deputy of Police Alcock said last night. "We had better meet it now than later. I have instructed the precinct commanding officers to see that their men do their duty. There will be no discrimination." Battle Prearranged. Yesterday morning's excitement appeared to have been prearranged. At 12:30 a.m., the Stock Yard station received a telephone call that a white mob was "out to kill all the blacks." A small squad of police was rushed out, but failed to connect with the gangster Knives, razors, billiard cues, clubs and several revolvers were picked up along the trail taken by the whites. Yesterday's developments convinced police, city officials and others who have studied the racial problem that Chicago must deal with one of the most difficult situations in its history. The actual conflicts between whites and Negroes come. it is pointed out, as to be expected climaxes to the series of bomb outrages perpetrated on the North Side in the last few months. None of those a yesterday discussed the matter believed any policy of Negro residence segregation would offer solution. Julius Rosenwald: who has given much time and money to aid the development of the Negro people, said. "This racial problem in Chicago has been left too long awaiting solution. The newcomers can perform a big service by bringing the public to a realization of the seriousness of the problem. I have no panacea. This question is too big to be solved with an off hand word. It is our duty to begin studying it at once, for the situation is critical. "Of one thing I feel certain—any policy of attempted segregation is out of the question." Our own leaders are inclined to blame the rough element among the recent immigrants from the South, for the increasing evidences of friction as well as the tough whites who are encouraged by the sensational daily newspapers. Movements are on foot leading white and Colored organizations to get together in an effort to cope with the situation. MOTIN ASKS RACE TO GIVE UP SATURDAY AFTERNOONHOLIDAYS RALEIGH, N. C., June 25—Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, is organizing the race in the South into an association which pleases it to work on Saturday afternoons as on other days'. In 1918 the race in Alabama, it is alleged, made $25,000,000 as the result of their decision not to use Saturday afternoon as a holiday. Three, hundred thousand men of the race are organized by pledge to work six full days through 1919. Dr. Motton declared in an address here, that much of the crime of the race, 75 per cent of it, is due to the Saturday afternoon holiday, and the Sunday morning drunk REPUBLICANS FORM "LILY WHITE" PARTY DOWN IN FLORIDA ST AUGUSTIN* Fla. June 28—The Colored people of Florida wish it generally known, according to a statement issued by a committee of citizens, that they are wide awake with reference to the "White Man's Republican Party," recently formed here by a group of "Lily White." This effort has been tried before, but it has never gotten very far, and it is our belief that the National Republican party is too deeply concerned in giving what others have promised, "equal and exact justice," to ONLY HOUSE ON MARKET ST.

The home of Miss Dayse F. Baker was a scene of great cheer Monday evening when twenty-five persons were assembled in splendid attire to be entertained in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Q. L. Murphy of Indianapolis, Ind., Mr. A. Simm, the honored musician of St. Louis and Miss L. Laurenia Mitchell the bookkeeper and efficient secretary of the Argus Publishing Co. The evening was one continuous round of joy. Misses Edith Cayce, Thimsa Swink and Matacada Baker furnished the music for the occasion. Vocal music was an attractive means of entertainment. Short talks were made by Messrs. A. Simm, A. Reed, Chas Baker, Q. I. Murphy, Felix Poston, James Roblinson and Miss Mitchell. Others present who assisted in making the evening worth while were: Misses Mattle Valle, Imogene State, Hortense Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. John Franks, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Cayce, Mr. Lewis Smith; Mesdames Clara Poston, Ada Murphy, Mayme Poule, Susie Robinson and Ora M. Williams. Very early in the morning they went to their several abodes. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy will remain for a few weeks. The other guests have returned to their respective homes....At the M. E. Church Sunday, evening there was rendered a program by "home comers." The chief numbers were the address by Mr. Q. L. Murphy on the subject of the great Centenary Movement and the timely address by Mr. A. Simm on the subject of "duty."...Miss Zella Baker and Rev. Greenlee attended the S.

It had grown so hot for the last few weeks that the goat was sent out on pasture. He'll return however for his official duties. South, and even in Northern States was brought up by Frank Duffy, chairman of the resolutions committee, kumped together the five resolutions brought in by the Negro delegation. The requests were made in those resolutions for permission to organize an international union of skilled and unskilled Colored men, in view of the fact that, some international unions obstately refused to admit black men to membership or else place them in auxiliary locals without direct representation; for organizers in the various Southern States, preferably Negro organizers; complaint against the various metal trades international for resisting to admit them; and a demand to have a Colored man permanently stationed at the A.P. of L. headquarters to look out for the interests of the Colored workers. Duffy stated that to charter an international union of skilled and unskilled Negro-workmen would be a fragrant trespass on the rights of the numerous international unions that were already accepting such workers as members. He declared that the American Federation of Labor was ready to organize any group of Colored workers that were refused admission into their proper international unions as federal locals of the American Federation of Labor, and that the executive council was ready to give particular attention from now on to the organizing of Colored workers. Samuel Gompary, president of the federation, declared after the session in which the Negro question was discussed that the A. F. of L. had taken an important and necessary step forward in the right direction when it so unconditionally held out the hand of fellowship to the Negro worker. T. McCullough, one of the delegation of the International Typographical Union, who has been a trechant, add earnest light on the floor of the convention, opened the debate by declaring that it was very wise on the part of the federation not to form separate organizations on facial lines. He stated that three were some unions so shortsighted as not to admit the Colored man to membership, but that the organizations have many reasons to regret such a stand, now that the Negro has become an important part of the working class in industrial sections. "As a man interested in the uplift of my place, I must say that a very serene situation exists in many of these organizations have refused to take in Negro workers." He stated that in one large city in Virginia, from March to April, this year, 43,000 New Yorkers had told at an independent union because they could not find a welcome in the existing labor orientations connected with the federation. Nevertheless, he said, the prevailing feeling among the Colored men was that they should stand by the American Federation of Labor if they could get the equality of rights and the "democracy" of which so much was being talked about. "If you can - take in immigrants who cannot speak the English Language who can't you take in the Nei- who here isn't loyal to you from Washington to the battlefields of of France" he declared. We don't ask any flavors from you. We don't ask for a chance to live like men, with equal rights and democratic rule. We do not ask for social equality. We ask for the same chance to earn bread for our families at the same salary our white brothers are earning. "The Negro is ready to lithe for you and to die for you, with all his dirty treatments in this country, if you also as equal rights the same as you have to earn bread for your families." Robert F. Burford, a Negro delegate, representing a federal union of light bandlers.

Bomont 1452 Entered as second class matter April 5, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1870. MR. McDANIEL AND THE U. R. INVESTIGATION Circuit Attorney McDaniel has intimated that he would ask the "public spirited" people of St. Louis to contribute to a fund in order to raise ten thousand dollars for investigations and prosecutions of the cases growing out of the burglary and theft of the referendum petitions which there has been so much talk of recently. We have had a deal of confidence in Mr. McDaniel's acts and consent with reference to the U. R. cases until it has been intimated that he would ask the Civic or the Referendum League to raise the money. Mr. McDaniel cannot afford to be a party to the schemes that have been used by the promoters of the Referendum League to get money from the public under the guise of doing some work for the good and promotion of the welfare of the city. Felix Lawrence and his gang are always ready to promote any scheme where they can get their hands in the pockets of the public. Let the thoughtful look up the records of these so-called Civic Leagues, and it will be found that nothing has been done by them that is worthy of confidence of the public. They are always opposed to the progress of the city. Because of their activites the city of St. Louis has spent over one hundred thousand dollars for which it has received nothing in return but a bad name in the eyes of the progressive cities of this country. If Mr. McDaniel calls upon the Civic League to raise the $10,000 he says he needs that he may be able to do his duty in the United Railways case, we feel appealing to the Circuit Attorney in the name of honesty, law and order, not to put the raising of that money into the hands of this so-called referendum League. The promoters of these money-getting schemes have learned one thing, that a large number of people don't seem to notice, and that is, to prey upon the prejudice of the people. They got their start by promoting a residential segregation ordinance in this city. They next tried the U. R. deal, then the recall of Mayor Kiel, all of which called for a deal of money to help the boys out. They do not have to make any report to the public of the money they receive or spend so now. Mr. Circuit Attorney can you afford to be aligned with such a crowd? We don't think so.

The people of the Nation will with open ears will they listen to they did when he was active as A. The reconstruction and adjust thought and judgment. The educ in shaping our destinies, whether IRISH QUESTION IS NOT IDENTICAL WITH OUR TROUBLE The announcement that Prof Emmet Scott, who has been closely connected with Tuskegee Institute for the past twenty years, has accepted the position as Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.C., has caused some speculation on the part of those who have watched the leadership among the Negro race in America. Whether it is Mr. Scott's purpose to put more of the Tuskegee idea into Howard University or whether it is his purpose to put more of the Howard idea into Tuskegee is the question that, no doubt, time alone will tell. Tuskegee and Howard are prominent factors in the lives of the men and women of our race. The influence of Kelley Miller and Prof. Cook have followed the Howardites while the influence of Booker T. Washington and Emmett Scott have followed those who have finished at Tuskegee. There is yet a division among the people as to which class we look to for future leadership The two years service as assistant Secretary of War has taught Mr. Scott many valuable lessons. He has and the opportunity to give public expressions of his view on the race question quite often. As time rolls on he has become bolder and bolder in his expressions. As assistant Secretary of War he has been in a position to see and know more of inside facts than any other man of our race. These things have had their effect upon his life. He cannot be an apologist for those who would wrong his race. Hence the speculation about his going to Howard in such a high official capacity. The people of the Nation will eye him in his new field, and with open ears will they listen to his expressions even more than they did when he was active as Assistant Secretary of War. The reconstruction and adjusting conditions will require sober thought and judgment. The educated will have a great influence in shaping our destinies, whether from Tuskegee or Howard. No One Questions Legality of England's Rule. Conditions Imposed on Negroes in South is Direct Violation of the Constitution of United States. NEW YORK June 28. The bringing of the "Irish Question" into the Peace- Conference, this caused the American delegation no end of embarrassment, because that question has been regarded as strictly domestic. It has been argued by many different people that if the Irish be permitted to air their grievances before the conference, the Negroes of America have the same right, and many of the delegates from various nations have taken that stand. Concerning the logic of it, the New New York Sun, daily, says: "Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite, the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and of Emmet Scott, who has been a free Institute for the past twenty years Secretary-Treasurer of Howard it has caused some speculation onatched the leadership among the war it is Mr. Scott's purpose to put to Howard University or whether the Howard idea into Tuskegee is the alone will tell.

That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and this violation of the Constitution is tolerated with the full knowledge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country, North and South. MADDEN INTRODUCES HIS "JIM CROW" BILL MADDEN INTRODUCES HIS "JIM CROW" BILL Dr. Associated Neuroscience Press CHICAGO: June 26—Congressman Martin Madden, of this city, sent to Congress on the votes of Colored citizens, has introduced his annual "jim crow, opposition bill," and it has created the same little riffle that it usually does. Congressman Madden has the happy faculty of introducing these bills and sending copies of same to his "worthy constitensis," but the bills never get beyond committees. There are a great many people who have become doubtful of the congressman's sincerity of purpose, and look dubiously on the outcome of this new bill, which is all right if it passes. The Keidsville (N. G.) Review, white, states: "No doubt there is a good bit of politics in his proposition, but it serves to disturb the good feeling between the races." It is very natural, nevertheless, that there is much good feeling between the races on account of "him crew" cars in the South. FIRST SERGT. THOMAS LEWIS CO. D., 804 PIONEER INFANTRY Thomas Lewis, 2724. Morgan street is now glad to say that he is on his way home. He served four years in the Philippine Islands and is now serving his tenth month in France. He writes his wife, Mrs. Carrie Lewis, "Don't write any more, have my picture put in the Argus so my friends may see that I am in the best of health and expecting to see them all soon." He was made sergeant December 1, 1918. Labor Shortage In The South The shortage of labor in the South has been the cause of quite a number of meetings being held in that section of the country, to devise ways which labor may be induced to go to the South to help till the soil. These meetings are attended by both white and Colored and a general understanding has been had between the races, according to a statement made by Mr. A. M. Shelby, of Greenville, Miss. Mr. Shelby is in St. Louis seeking former Mississippiians who desire to return to the rich Delta on the farms where they can make an independent living, offering good houses and better school facilities. Mr. Shelby is a reputable citizen of his community and has become a member of the U. S. employment agency here. He complains that he hears many wild and exaggerated statements about conditions in the South and states that there is a rigid law which is enforced by the U. S. providing for arrest, fine and imprisonment for those who make false or misrepresentations about labor conditions in any part of the U. S. All labor is now supervised by the government and the laborer is protected wherever he goes. Arrangements have been made for those desiring to take advantage of the high wages offered to register with Mr. E. Hawkins, 2363 Market St. CAPTAIN CHAS. H. FEARING First Lieut. Charles H. Fearing, 4444 West Belle place, has been commissioned by the War Department as a Captain of Infantry, Officers' Reserve Corps.

During his service in France as First Lieutenant 365th infantry, he was twice recommended for promotion to the grade of captain. Since his return to the United States, Captain Fearing appeared before a board of officers at Camp Pike, Arkansas and passed, an examination for appointment as an officer in the regular army, and was recommended to the War Department for appointment as captain in the permanent army.

HOUSTON CITIZENS ASK GOVERNMENT TO PAY DAMAGES CHIK AGO, June 26.—Houston citizens who suffered personal and property losses during the mutiny of Negro soldiers on August 23, 1917, may be paid for all damages suffered at that time if a bill that Senator Morris Shepard has introduced into the senate is finally passed. The bill provides for the investigation by the court of claims of all compalaints for damages made by Houston citizens as a result of the mutiny, according to advises received from Washington Wednesday night. The bill was introduced in the senate during the last session by Senator Sheppard, but no action was taken on it. Under the law these suits against the government cannot be instituted until congress authorizes the court of claims to proceed with the investigation. Major John H. Crooker, who was district attorney of the time of the riots and active in preparing claims for personal and property losses, said Wednesday night, there was about 15 claimants. The amount asked for in preparation at first was more than $80,000. Major Crooker said, but this was cut down at Washington to about $35,000. Nation Against Lyncaing Says Prof. Isaac Fisher CHESTER, Pa., June 27.—St. Paul's Episcopal Church was opened for an evening mass meeting, during New Era Week, at which Prok Isac Fisher, University editor of *Fish University*, Nashville, Tenn., a graduate of Tuskegee and one of the ablest Colored leaders, spoke directly, and convincingly to white and Colored people on "The ideals of Human Brotherhood." Professor Fisher said. "No movement ought to come to the place where it centers the attention of Negroes too much on their own problems. The Negro is one part of a great human problem. He is only one unit in the human family. Back of all that we may do for any race group should be one priority—loving service. In all our recoats' action work it will be wise to keep to the principle AFRICA IMPORTANT IN WORLD'S POLITICS FOR NEXT TEN YEARS By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, June 26.—"Africa and only Africa, will be important in the world's politics for the next ten years," says Dr. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago, anthropologist, traveler and lecturer. "Africa may cost what is left of Europe, for Europe has neither the men nor the money to maintain dominion over Africa. Africa has 138,000,000 discontented people. "Europe is sending back to AYrich tens of thousands of black men who have been trained to face white men under arms. These black men, who have been denied arms in the past, can manufacture their own weapons in the future. "Liberia is the only hope of Africa. Liberia may save the world from chaos. It is the greatest marvel of the nineteenth century, and I mean to make my exhibit of Liberia and Congo Free State so vivid and so real that it will impress these facts on all who come to the Methodist centenary celebration in Columbus June 20 to July 13.

CHAS H. WATKINS "Has 138,000,000 Discontented People," Says Doctor Starr of the University of Chicago.

Morocco is held by force of arms. That which was German Africa will not be content under mandatory of any other nation.
