NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE HERE NEXT WEEK Local Branch Has Planned A Continuous Round Of Entertainments To Be Sandwiched Between The Business Sessions. Something Doing Every Hour CHICAGO JURY ASK FOR WHITE RIOT CASES Blacken Faces And Throw Blame On Negroes, So That 14,000 Will Be Prevented From Working In The Packing House District 17 NEGROES INDICTED FOR CRIME Chicago Aug. 7.—The special grand jury refused yesterday to continue its investigations of the recent rioting unless white cases were presented simultaneously with those of Negroes. The jurymen will receive further and more thorough instructions this morning from State's Attorney Hoyne to their duties and obligations to take work in the order presented. At after the session with the prosecuting attorney for the state the jurys persist in their unwillingness to continue their investigations of the cases in the order presented by Mr. Hoyne Judge R. H. Crowe will talk with them. Lieable for Contempt. If the grand jurys should still decline to go ahead they will render themselves liable to fines and imprisonment for contempt of court and malfeasance, Judge Crowe will announce if he goes into conference with them. Albert Pick, foreman of the jury, declared yesterday that the sudden adjournment of the jury was taken because the state attorney's office desired more time in the preparation of information. He denied that any concerted action had been taken, because only Negro cases had been brought before the jury. He did, however, that some cases had been made to the concession of cases involving white men. State's Attorney Hoyne, after hearing of the action of the grand jury, said that cases will be presented in the order in which they are reached. No discrimination will be made between Whites and Whites in his office. Seventeen Indicted Monday Seventeen negroes were indicted Monday. There were two women in the number. The defendants were charged with murder, assault to kill, conspiracy to riot and other offenses and crimes. Judge Favors Hanging. "The rioting in Chicago is anarchy and should be treated as such," Judge Crowe instructed the jury. "In your deliberations there should be no prejudice, passion, politics or discrimination. Every man who violates the law, regardless of his color, should be promptly indicted. It would be a calamity if the jury or the judiciary discriminated because of color. It is up to you man to indict regardless of color where the law has been violated." Names of Those Indicted. The indictments were returned against the seventeen on Tuesday and Wednesday. They were as follows: Elmer Sanford, Oscar Mondine, James Marga, and McKinley Baldwin, two indictments, one, charging conspiracy to riot and one assault to kill. Henry and wife Clara Dumas, Sidney Scott, Charles and wife Willie Richards, William Turner, and James Pitts, four indictments, one for conspiracy to riot and three for assault to kill. Walter and Amos Like and Lee Alexander, four indictments, conspiracy to riot, carrying concealed weapon, carrying Shelley law, which makes this a felony, and two charges of assault to kill. John Washington, Spurgeon Anthony, and William Powell were indicted for murder. The grand jury was wading through the evidence in twenty-five other cases, but had considered only Negroes when it "struck" Wednesday. It was declared that both white and colored were on the list. Confession to Repudiated Emma Jackson, colored, who had confessed that, she took part in the shooting to death of Walter Rignatel, a boy from Blue Island, yesterday changed her story. She now says that her finger was not on the trigger when the shot was fired, but that Edward Robinson held the gun, and that she was trying to save the boy's life when Robinson fired. She has been formally booked on a charge of murder. BAR 'ASSOCIATION AGAINST PREJUDICE SENTIMENT Resolutions deploring the race rioting and its causes, repudiating the sentiment that "this is a white man's country" to the exclusion of the colored race, and citing the co-operation of the association in the maintenance of law and order were passed by the Cook County Bar Association. All sessions of the National Negro Business League will be held at the Coliseum—admission free. The St. Louis Argus Published In The Interest Of Colored People CHICAGO, August 6—What is hoped may be an overestimated fugue of stance, has been raised by the "Shoe War in Chicago." It was a war on deadly in hope and purpose as any ever fought. The "Song of Hair" was never more bitterly rendered on either side, but while the entire community gets the discredit, the singing on both sides has been by the minority and not the majority. And to continue the whole thing has been a series of rocking discords. Many things have been learned, and much should be provided from it both for Chicago and every other city in the Nation. Every record shows the indisputable fact that the whiter, both in deaths and wounded, faced somewhat worse than the colored people. It demonstrates beyond question a "do or die" spirit on the part of the blacks, which is by no means pleasant to contemplate if subjects of racial friction are not smoothed out. While the battle raged, it was a fifty-fifty proposition absolutely, in the white districts and the two-called "Black Belt." No black face had a ghost of a chance in the white district and by the same-token no white face had a chance in the belt. There was no discrimination on either side, in this respect. Meet In "No Man's Land." So serious did conditions become, that after the fourth day, the people in the "Black Belt" found themselves without food. Union drivers, white, refused to go beyond the "dead line," speaking literally, indeed. At last a plan was worked out by which food in great trucks was taken to certain appointed districts by whites, and then driven on through by colored chauffeurs. For the first time in the history of Chicago, a colored man in the great business "Loop District" was an Local Branch N. A. A. C.P. Takes Action To Prevent Riots In St. Louis The Executive Committee of the Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called into conference Wednesday morning a large number of representative citizens to talk over the conditions affecting the race in St. Louis and take some measures to prevent racial clashes or outbreaks and to improve conditions as regards the Negro. Among the gentlemen present were Dr. C. A. Williams pastor of St. Paul Church; Rev. W. H. Peck, pastor of St James Church; Rev. S. H. Moseley, at Tabernacle Baptist Church; Mr. W. H. Huffman, Dr. W. P. Curtin, Messas. James A. Hutt, H. A. Smith, W. H. Holloman, Attorney,ney G. Vaughn, presiding. Three committees were appointed to carry on the work proposed; one in connection with the press, one for commercial and one on officials and civic institutions. In discussing the Chicago riots a report was made that Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, had cut short a trip to the far west and hurried back to Chicago to be on the scene of the riot. In all these outbreaks the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been quick to get on the spot and get into action and to do work in behalf of the colored people. The Local Branch of the Association has been very active in all these matters and has kept in constant communication with the affected centers and has rendered them every ald possible. The Branch is still continuing its drive and the well organised teams are silently and effectively doing their work of organizing and securing subscriptions to the Crisis. Hundreds of new members are coming in to the Association and the stream is a constant one each day seeing a large number of additions. The Association announces that reports will be made at 103 N. Jefferson Avenue from now on instead of at headquarters as herebefore. Telephones are Boment 1231 and Central 4758-L. The Y. W. C. A. extends greetings to the visitors of the Business Man's League. IMPOSSIBLE FOR NEGROES TO START FIRE CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—In a disastrous fire in the stockyards district, last Saturday, seventy-five houses, most of them homes of Mexicans, Lithuanians and other foreigners employed at the stockyards, were destroyed. Men with black faces were seen darting around the district, and it is believed they were white, disguised as Negroes. Not one man has been identified. 14,000 Negroes Out of Work. It had been planned for the 14,000 Negroes, who work at the yards, to return Monday, but the feeling against them was so bitter that this could not be done. May Never Get Back. Thomas A. Doyle, former alderman from the Fifth ward, which, with the Twenty-ninth ward, suffered in the fires, declared that those fires will mean no colored persons will be admitted to the stockyards. Ald. William R. O.Toole, representative of the Thirteenth ward, who was born in the district where the fires raged, agreed with him. "This settles it," said Ald. O.Toole. "They will not dare let Negroes back in the yards again. Whites of every nationality employed in the yards will combine against the colored man and he will need a company of soldiers near him to get anywhere near the stockyards." Observers of conditions in the yards declare that this problem of employment and labor was the underlying cause of the riots. White employees of the yard. It is declared, object to Negroes largely because of their non-affiliation with the unions, rather than because of color. Gen. Dickson Blames I. W. W. After a careful investigation, Ad. Gen. F. S. Dickson reported to Go-Lowden that he believed members of the I. W. W., with their faces blackened, were responsible for the disastrous fire in the stockyards district today. Gen. Dickson informed the governor that the investigation indicates strongly that the radicals, taking advantage of the recent race riots, had applied the torch in an attempt to discredit the Negroes and incite the white population to further anti-Negro demonstrations. Charges Against. Negroes Are Fails Say Colored Aldermen J. J. Jackson and Louis B. Anderson, colored aldermen from the Second ward, declared that the charges that the fires were set by Negroes are untrue. "It is a crime to make such charges," said Ald. Anderson. "It only serves to stir more riots and create race prejudice. It is preposterous to think that any colored man would go west of Halsted street without a guard of police or militia in these times. It is impossible that the fires were set by Negroes. The publication of such charges means more ill feeling, more arson, and more murder. "Do you think a colored man would go into this district back of the yards to set fires when 7,000 colored men have refused to go to the stockyards to get paid even though their families were starving? Impossible!" "Charges Are Lies." "I was stopped twice in broad daylight by troops on a trip to the yards on Friday," said Ald. Jackson. "It would have been impossible for Negroes to get through the police and militia to set these fires. The charges are lies." Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward Wright, colored, denied the possibility of the fires having been set by Negroes. "I talked to the chief," he said, "and was told the only evidence that Negroes started the fire is that one man says he saw Negroes fleeing in an automobile at 3 o'clock in the morning. I don't see how he could have seen them at that hour." THE ARGUS SOUNDED WARNING. The Chicago stockyards fire and the laying of the blame on Negroes in order to discredit him with a 10,000 from the district, follows closely the warning sounded by the Argus July 25, when the rumor was published that white men were planning to create a reign of crime for the purpose of starting a race riot. The information received by the Argus was that this was on foot in all the large industrial cities. To accomplish their aims, the whites intend blackening their faces so the crimes committed will be charged to Negroes. N. A. A. C. P. Cites Cases. The.

PARIS, France, Aug. 1. The government was interpolated in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon on the rough treatment French Negro soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by Mr. Bojaneuf and Mr. Lacroissiller, Negro Deputies, respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: "The Chamber, faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The Chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted. After Pams, Minister of the Interior, replying to the Negro Deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of the very recent table incidents, as France does not forget the services rendered by her Negro sons." The Minister of the Interior added that the American government had not hastened to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. Mr. Pams asks Deputy Bolisean for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The Deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." And it is America that wants a society of nations," interjected Charles Bornard, a Deputy from the Seine. "The circular wasn't signed by Wil- n," shouted Deputy Mayeran in dialy to Mr. Bernard.

He told of the possibilities of many large business institutions in this city. If we only would put our strength to together. He stated that we must get together for our political and civil rights.

C., Aug. 6.—Race riots in the country as a sequel to the disturbances here were predicted by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Johnson is in Washington investigating the riots here and endeavoring to aid the authorities as far as possible. "I am afraid we will have riots elsewhere as a result of those here," he said. "When they come they will be serious. The colored men will not run away from it and hide as they have done on previous occasions of the experience here has demonstrated clearly that the colored man will no longer submit to being beaten without cause. "Throughout the South we will find that the Negroes are in a state in which they have never been before. In previous race riots they have run away and have been beaten without resistance, but now they will protect themselves. "The Federal authorities must take a hand if the local or State authorities are unable to successfully cope with the situation. It is certain that the thing which should be done is to conduct a sweeping Federal investigation into the riots in the National Capital WANTS NO NEGRO EXODUS FROM CHICAGO TO MISSOURI Jefferson City, Aug 2 + (Special) — Acting Gov. Wallace Crosley today received an inquiry from a Chicago newspaper asking how many Negroes could be accommodated in this state in the event of an exodus from that city. Crossley wired in reply, "We congratulate the Negroes on their desire to get back where they belong and regret that your great city with its wonderful opportunities and boasted recognition of many creeds and colors has not been able to protect the black race. Missouri has already absorbed several thousands of Illinois Negroes as the result of a former race war in East St Louis and with our own industrial and political problems to solve, we are not able at this time to provide a refuge or asylum, or employment for Chicago's oppressed Negroes." BILL WOULD BAR NEGROES FROM ENLISTING IN ARMY Washington, July 31 - Negroes would be prohibited enlisting in the army and navy under a bill introduced today by Representative Carraway, Democrat, Arkansas. The measure also would provide for the discharge within sixty days of all Negroes now in the service and prohibit any from receiving appointments to the naval and military academies. Another bill by Carraway would prohibit intermarriage of whites and Negroes in the District of Columbia. FESTUS ANNUAL CELEBRATION. The Annual Celebration held at Festus, Mo.

THE POLICE WANT JAZZLAND TO BE CLOSED AT 1 A.M. A controversy between the police and the manager of Jazland, 21716 Market, over the proper closing hour, has lead to a test case which was booked to be settled in Judge Ittner's Court Friday morning. Mr. Charles Turpin told an Argus reporter that about 11 30 Monday night he was ordered by the Sergeant on the beat, to close Jazzland at 1 a.m. The order came from the lieutenant. Mr. Turpin went to the police station and tried to get it rescinded but failed. He in stated, that he was perfectly in his rights in keeping Jazzland open until 3 a.m., and would do so that night. He was informed that to do so meant the place would be raided. He offered himself for arrest but this was refused. A trip to the night chief of police brought the same result. The night chief advised him to close and then see the chief the next day. This, Mr Turpin refused to do. Returning the land he called all present upon the dance floor and told them what was to happen. He said that he had gone to Attorney George H. Becker, before investing a penny in the race, and the attorney gave the opinion that there was no law to close restaurants, dance halls and ice cream saloons at any hour. Mr Turpin asked the guests to leave and let him and the employees test the order in court. This they refused to do by believing in him declared to stand by him. As a result the raid was made and ninety two persons were taken to the station and released on bond. The case was called Wednesday morning but it seems that neither Judge Itiner nor the police were informed on the law and the decision was deferred until Friday, at which time Mr Turpin alone was to appear. In explaining his reason for keeping Jazzy open from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., which is seven hours; Mr. Turpin explained that the majority of our young men and women are so employed that they can not get out to places of enjoyment early in the evenings. A large number must wait until all other business and amusement places are closed. He believes that everyone should be given a place for respectable relaxation and diversion, therefore he decided to extend the closing hour to 3 a.m. There has been no trouble or unusual noise of any kind. The only question seems to be the probable effect on balls and public entertainments as to closing hour, but Mr. Turpin has satisfied himself that there is no law to regulate this. Fugitive From Justice Is Caught Through Letter to Woman Asking for Aid Through a letter from "John Mason," who was doing time in the Louisville work house where he was sent to serve out a $19 fine for vagrancy, the police of St. Louis found in him James Jackson, who is under indictment here for robbing a St. Louis home of $4,000 worth of jewelry, most of which has been recovered Jackson wrote to a woman, "My time's most out. See if you can't dig me up enough money to over my bond." She notified the police and officer Logan went after him, returning Wadnedsdor. Chief of Detective, Jno. P.

For the satisfaction of our many friends who all so generously assisted us we think it but proper to make a public statement of our splendid success. We started a rally last April to raise seven hundred dollars to apply on our mortgage debt of jong standing. According to appointment, the rally was to end last Sunday, August 3d. The plan was fully carried out, with the following results: Club No. 1, Mrs. M. E. Hedgegon, Captain, amount $210.68; Club No. 2, Mrs. Wm. Belle, Captain, amount $206.23; 8. Peter Boosters' Club, Mr. Robt Boykin, Captain, amount $77.50; Big Seven Club, Mrs. E. M. Newton, Captain, amount $315.25; From Allen Christian Endeavor League, $6.00; From Sunday School, $2.00; Total amount raised, $828.76. The rally was a great success. The effort raised beyond the sum planned for $128.76. We have paid of the amount received $860.00 on the mortgage debt which leaves a balance of only $400.00 on this long standing mortgage. This makes a total of eleven hundred and fifty-five dollars paid since last October. We are now planning to complete the payment of the mortgage - Christmas morning. Permit us hereby to most graciously and sincerely thank all of the many friends who no generously assisted us. George Bolar, Wm. Belle, Pleasant Walker, James Sexton, Alexander Hamilton, Sidney Terry, Trustees.—Rey Chas, Wm. Newton, Pastor.

July 23 —Negroes of St. Petersburg were much excited last night when they saw a big steamer tie at the A.C.L. pier, and many thought that the boat had come to take them to Africa. A Negro woman has been preaching here that June 25th the white people were going to deport all the Negroes, sending them back to Africa and many believe. this. The arrival of the big steamer lent color to the report of deportation and many were badly frightened. There has been a lot of talk here of trouble coming, and it was reported that a crowd of men were coming from Largo to take a hand in things.

A few weeks ago, the Hobson City mayor is said to have received a warning that he would be killed unless he left these joints immediately.

July 23.—White white young men over the State are displaying a reluctance to enter the National Guard under the present regulations, which require a six-year term of enlistment. Negroes in some counties are making application for permission to organize. Only a few days ago, there came to the attorney general's office a letter with regard to the formation of a company of National Guard. The letter was turned over to the adjutant general's department. The letter is to the general effect that the writer has seen that several cities have been granted the privilege of forming a National Guard Company and that such companies been equiped with rifles and uniforms. The letter, continuing, says, "We have here in Bannock County, 300 men fresh from the battlefield who have seen actual service and they are anxious to stay in practice. Now since you are grieving them this privilege in other parts of the State we are asking for the same privilege, as such an organization would prove beneficial to this part of the State." HARTFORD, COIN, July 23. —The Women's League, incorporated, of Hartford, until recently known as the Colored Women's League of Hartford has made an important step toward greater social activities on the part of women of the Colored Race, in this city by buying the property at 20 and 22 Aveon Street, a two-family house, from Abraham Goldstein of the Hartford Wrecking Company. The business transaction took place Monday, and steps will be taken immediately to transform the building into the clubhouse for which it is intended. The Colores Women's League has for many years been engaged in general upfit work for women of that Race, and during the war carried on courses in home economics as well as furthering other war-saving measures. Mrs. Mary A. Johnson, Mrs. Ella G. Murry, Mrs. Ruth C. Peterson and Mrg. Willemena Wright compose the committee in charge of the movement, which has been one of the chief objects of the organization since its inception.

Recreation will be developed and it is expected that there will be a number of gymnastium classes.

Kennard the Giants catcher has been out of the game with a very bad finger and is getting in form for the next series. Cap Wallace is playing the greatest game of his life at second and the new infield is worthy of much praise since the change has beed made and things are working as smoothly as a clock for the last games. Bennett has been working fine behind the bat for the two games last played with the Cubans and keeps much life in the game as he always does. Mr. Mills thought best to let Cobb rest as the weather was so very warm and he has just returned from France and worked in great form for his old teammates. McAdoo, Blackwell, and Flummer are playing the greatest game of their life. Drake the speed merchant hugged the Giants to a victory Wednesday, letting the Cubans down with one run and striking out 6 of the heavy hitters. The Giants have some new faces on the team and it is a treat to come out and see them work and several more hits have been seen as the daily score will show which means that the more Cap Wallace schools the young players greater the results will be.

Eddie Holtz the young player who has been wearing a Cub uniform, has pleased Mgr. Mills so well that he has no fear for a short stop any longer, all who saw the youngster work agree that the plays that were made by him were the some of the most brilliant seen on the Glens' infield this year.

It fairly makes one shudder to think of the possible effect that such riots may have upon the future. If the two races are to dwell here together, it will be well for both races to consider that right and justice are the basis for a fair settlement of their differences. After the bloodiest race riot this country has owe has returned to her normal state. It fairly makes think of the possible effect that such riots may have. If the two races are to dwell here together, it both races to consider that right and justice are the settlement of their differences. It has been charged that there are some well owed at work inciting the riot spirit by assuring their officers of the law will "take care of the Negro." Borne out by the fact that as soon as a riot starts, hunt for Negro gun "toters." Instead of offering police usually spend most of their time searching Negroes, even to searching their homes, while the person go "Scot free." This is not right. This is not nice. Such acts on the part of police department brief contempt for law and order. It causes him to look as his enemy, especially in the time of race riots. In the cities where these riots have occurred, a gun is dangerous only when it is in the possession. This is not fair nor just. Any man will become deserved convinced that he has no protection before the law. Following the race riot at Chicago, press disacts city state that the police issued orders to pawn firearms and ammunition to Negroes, while the molested.

Aftermath of the riots are court proceedings pay the penalty; law and order have been triumphed the same agencies at work to turn all eyes of black man. He has suffered at the hands of the man suffer at the hands of the law. This is not right, we are proud that all white people are not those, who will speak the truth. The Christian S an editorial recently, attempts to fix the responsible ill feelings between the races by saying: "Back of all the ill-feeling now existing between whites in this country, it is probably fair to say, Negroes that they have perfectly well-defined rights under the Federal Constitution that are not for Negroes as they are for white persons.

It Happened In Chicago "Wonder City of Opportunity for All Peoples." In America, every other city has yielded to Chicago with reference to the honor of being first in racial advancement and civic opportunity. From all the corners of the earth have come all shades and degrees of thinkers, leaders, and people with ambitions for greatness, ease and comfort, to enjoy the full measure of opportunity. Chicago is filled with men and women who have been GREAT in their home town. Many of them are active here, but of course their influence is not as generally known and noted as in the home town because there are so many of them. In the midst of all these facts and conditions: IT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO! It had happened in Washington, and, also, in the commonwealth of aristocracy, Virginia, at Norfolk. Therefore: --- --- One Year Six Months Three Months Single Copy Associated Negro Press The Riot - From Chicago's Point of View. There is quite a bit of irony connected with the Chicago riots. But it is going to work out all right, at that. They say that one of the contributing causes is the "bousing situation." The colored people have been moving into "white neighborhoods," whatever that may mean. The first house ever built and owned in Chicago was built and owned by a Negro. That is a historical fact, and the spot is marked now by the Chicago Historical Society. All the white people who live in Chicago have followed that colored citizen and patriot, and yet those of his kindred who would continue to better their condition, are told that they are "without favor." Throughout the entire world, Chicago has always been known as the It is plain, even to the blind, that it may happen anywhere—no city is too remote or aristocratic, or large, or cultured, or anything whatsoever. New York is boasting, but that conceived provincial municipality is not immune. It is not a subject of geography, but condition. At the very beginning, the prevailing social unrest throughout the world. Added to this condition is the paradoxical, inconsistent, hypocritical attitude of the American people, at large posing one way to the outside world, and acting entirely another way at home. The consciousness of this state of affairs has been driven home to the minds of the most illiterate person, in every section of the country. This act has been performed not only by the thinker, leaders, newspapers and the like of our group, but within the last two years, well-known thinkers, leaders and newspapers of the white group in all sections, have pleaded for real justice and larger freedom for us. All of this has had its effect. It has not only encouraged our ambitions, but it has created a new determination—a determination to measure up to the best ideals, and to work them out at all hazards and costs. The hazards have come from the diminishing element of human-haters and radicals, whose object it has been to throw every possible obstacle in the way. It is this small element that has banned the fire of hatred in Chicago and every place else. It is noisy and sensational and terrible while it lasts, but it is not representative, nor long lived. On the other hand, our own group has three distinctive elements that are to be reckoned with; the ignorant hodlums, the white man's parrots, and the ultra radical. The first are a bane, as well as a pain, in the plan of adjustment. But their ignorance and instincts are largely due to that system of deprivation and oppression which are the blot of our American civilization. The second-element in our group, who unhesitatingly sell the birth-right of the people for a mea of potage; they brush principle aside with a wave of the hand, and curry to the favor of the prejudiced white; the third may be sincere, but are dangerous to the cause of peace. The world is not going backward, it is going forward. Out of the grind of was, murder, riot, strife and desolation there will come peace. Our group is superlatively conscious of conditions. Washington, Norfolk and Chicago will serve to awaken and quicken the conscience of that Grand Army of American Whites, who have failed until now to regard existing conditions between the races as matters of first importance. When this Grand Army gets into action, righteous adjustments will follow. Therefore, in the disgrace of Chicago, Washington and Norfolk, martyrdom, and warning, is the cause of justice without taint or blemish. If Chicago will take no backward step—and she will not—and will set to work valiantly to put her house in order, in this task the patient and unstiring assistance of the right-thinking people of our own group will be abundantly applied. We ask punishment, severe and impressive of all evil-doers, of all classes, without exception; we ask the splendid Grand Army of right-thinking whites to get a better understanding of the right-thinking, industrious, sensible and peace-loving people of our group; we ask that good American common sense, on both sides, and not hatred, on either side, be used as the basis of the program of reconstruction — for that's the job. Then these upheavals—with those that will follow unless there is internal vigilance—will not have been in vain "BY THIS SIGN WE CONQUER." HERE'S THE KEYNOTE. (Brooklyn, N. Y., Standard Union). It is not known which race was chiefly responsible for the Chicago riot for which committed most of the acts leading up to the fierce antipathy that found violent expression yesterday. Perhaps this is of no important importance, but it is highly important that both whites and blacks should do their utmost to tolerate the other. The two should live side by side and there should be peace and cause for freedom. Nor should one cause for riot of master. These affairs disgrace the whole American people in the eyes of the world and, of course, give pain to all our citizens. A WARNIS FOR NEW YORK. (Brooklyn, N. Y.) The outbreak of race rioting in Chicago is a reminder, where none should be needed, that such disturbances are not matters of geography of special local conditions. Washington's recent experience showed that such conflicts are not necessary politics, but an explanation of the cause of the riots in Washington would leave the Chicago trouble unexplained. This should serve as a warning to other communities and especially to New York. A FINE IDEA (New York, N. Y., Evening Sun). In place of race riots, let us have mutual esteem and friendship. Accord the Negro his full rights, give him full justice, full opportunity for education and advancement lend him a helping hand, the only solution. Not violence can only make the problem more acute. AN EFFECTIVE REMINDER (Philadelphia, Pa., Bulletin.) It should be an effective-reminder that the United States had a serious and difficult racial and sociological problem at home, quite enough to en- tain the attention of its humanitarian and de- mand evidence over the problems of the Balkans. European races which are now being lifted out of their submigration. AND NOW IT IS CHICAGO! (New York Mail.) Just as the good news came that law and order had triumphed in the national capital to the extent that 2,009 regular troops brought there to keep peace between whites and blacks could be withdrawn. Chicago proceeded to distinguish herself with a race riot of her own. It is a very serious question whether this outbreak of race rioting in cities wide apart is altogether a matter of chance. It is just possible that behind it is some clever propaganda which finds in the appeal to race prejudice as mean an appeal as exists—the instrument for causing industrial revolution. If that is so, the problem should be capable of quick solution by an intelligent secret services. If not, the prospects are more ominous. FIFTY-FIFTY SAYS CHICAGO (Continued From Page One) actual novelty, gazed upon with kindness, credulity, hatred or fear, according to the people passed. Dozens were run, at least three murdered and a number beaten up. Comedy of Errors. Never before had the "color of a man's skin" played such an important part in locomotion. There is an amusingly interesting condition with reference to this. The real light colored person had both his advantages and disadvantages. There are numbers of instances where light colored people went where they desired in the "loop" without molestation, but as soon as they attempted to go into the "Belt" their lives were in peril. The patrol wagon, and big covered motor trucks were used to transfer hundreds of colored workers to their work. More than 1,500 men and women are employed in the main post office, and Postmaster Carlisle threatened to put in a call for Federal troops if the mails were interfered with to any serious extent. The street car strike in Chicago added to the general confusion, although the car men did not resort to violence in their efforts to reach their demands. Politics in the Way. The attitude of the police officers and the public officials is one that has caused considerable comment. Mayor Thompson and Gov. Lowden each were on the job constantly, but it is claimed by many that politics entered into the delay of ordering the troops into action before the fourth day of the riot. Governor Lowden saw several colored men chased through the business district from the windows of his hotel, the Blackstone, on Michigan Boulevard. From many sources it is claimed that the police failed to give the proper protection to colored people, and that they did not arrest whites who, were known to be "gun toting" with the same alacrity that they did Negroes. Many of the police, however, were courteous and vigilant. 200 Colored Policemen Praised; The colored policemen, of which there are about 200 in Chicago, and the colored detectives, rendered valiant service, and proved their ability to cope with a dangerous and delicate situation in a manner that reflects great credit. There has been no criticism with reference to the conduct of the militia. The Power of the Press The daily newspapers have played an important part, with reference to the quelling of the riot. There are in Chicago six leading English-speaking daily newspapers. All of them devoted much space to the news of the riot, but the Chicago Herald and Examiner, Chicago American, owned by William Randolph Hearst, and the Chicago Daily News, owned by Victor Lawson reached the highest plane of unatturgished and unvarnished justice in their news, cartoons and tutorials. The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Evening Post both had editors advocating segregation of the races, either by impression or fact. Added to this was a statement issued by B. F. Mosley, an attorney disbarred for life, in which he claimed, that the white man is the superior of the Negro, and this is a "white man's country." This statement has brought down the wrath of the community on Mosley. The Chicago Journal has been inclined to be neutral. Real Race Leaders. The Aldermen L. B. Anderson and R. R. Jackson, the majority of the ministers, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Rev. A. J. Carey, Jesse Binga and several others demonstrated efforts of leadership that caused favorable comment. Oscar DePreist, former alderman, seems to have come out of the fray with the greatest amount of credit to his name as a fearless leader. In many respects there has been much disappointment with reference to many who have posed as community leaders. "In the hour of trial," they were weighed in, "balance and found wanting." The from the South during the last two years has undoubtedly made an acute problem for Chicago, as all other northern cities. While the majority of these are industrious, naturally an idle and shiftless element has also come. This element lives on its wits, and there is much bitterness expressed about the gambling that has been going on in the district. A score or more organizations, including the large churches, the Urban League and the U.A. and Y. W. C.A., have been working for adjustment, and while they have expended thousands of dollars, they could use thousands more in the vital municipal work. It is believed by all thoughtful people that a newer and better Chicago will rise out of the ruins of passion and hate, just as was done out of the ruins of the great Chicago fire. Chicago has the greatest economic need for the Negro. THE WAR OF RACES. "We are now afflicted with a war of races in the National Capital where much blood has already been shed and Hives sarcitized." Also, it is a proof that a legislative suppression of intoxicating drinks is not as it was said it would be—a panacea for all social and moral evils. "The war of races is all the more threatening and omnious as it is carried on in the very capital of the nation, under the eye of the Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and in the shadow of the halls of Congress, where the national legislature is in session. It is an act of defiance to our national law givers and an insult to their constituted authority. If we are to retain the confidence and esteem of nations abroad and to enjoy security of life and property at home, this lawless uprising should be summarily and thoroughly suppressed."
