SLAIN BANK MESSENGER MARTYR TO JUSTICE Erris Pillow Refuses To Be Bribed To Defeat The Law And Is Assassinated An Exponent of Truth and Justice NEGRO FIRE COMPANY TO GO ON DUTY NEGRO FIRE COMPANY TO GO ON DUTY First Of Race Men Will Be Installed Monday At 12th And Walnut. High Efficiency Test Is Ignored In Making Selections. According to the present plans eight Negroes will become city tremen next Monday, May 16. They will occupy Engine House at 12th and Walnut. The company will consist of ten men in all. Two white officers and the eight Colored privates. The appointments were made by James N. McKelvey, Director of Public Safety who was recently reappointed by Mayor Kiel. The men who are to go on duty Monday were selected from the eligible list which is the result of an examination last August. In making the selections, Mr. McKelvey ignored the highest men on the eligible list. The highest on the list were: Thomas Hill, 94; Deaner Corneal, 90 and Walter Lowe, 81. There were some comments regarding actions of the Director of Public Safety in ignoring efficiency in making selections. Chief Panser said that should he had the selection, he would have selected the first eight men on the list. The best class of Colored people think that rule should have been applied. When seen by an Argus reporter, Mr. McKelvey said he had no statement of make except that the men selected are capable of filling the places. Men Appointed The following men have been appointed and are to be the first of their race to fill the places as City Firemen: Paul Fobush, 415 B. 15th St., 88; Anderson Dunlap, 4250 Cote Brillante, 86; Guylbert Carter, 4208 Cote Brillante, 88; Frank Slaughter, 3001 Lawton, 77; Pearl Bishop, 3901 Papin, 77; Whalter Hill 3935 Finney, 76; Henry Porter, 4207 N.

MORRIS SPEAKS ON MOTHER Young Orator Is Brilliant Speaker And Pleasing Entertainer. Sways His Audiences With Matchless Eloquence. Pays Tribute To Mothers As Many Weep. Never was the gymnasium at the "Y" more crowded than last Sunday, to hear Charles S. Morris fill his second engagement here, and deliver an address on "Mother." It is believed that young Morris was at his best on this occasion as he swayed his audience at will, with seemingly matchless eloquence. Being Mother's Day, a nice sprinkling of women and young ladies were in the audience, and at times, tears" were seen streaming down some of the cheeks. Yet Morris has such a wide range of words until almost like magic he transforms his audience into laughter. He said: "Each man and each woman of all humanity's millions had a mother. The infant eyes of each have gazed once at least into the loving eyes of mother. Though poets may sweep their strains and slug their noblest; though elergymen in the tender volve of recall may speak sweetly of mother; though the orator may depict in adjectives matchless and phrases gold; the sublimity; the love; the purity of mother; earth's knowledge is not enriched for the humbleest black in the blackest belt of Alabama may attest her character as copiously as may the velvet son of luxury in Fifth avenue's brown stone mansions. Morris' Tribute To Mother entranced, enthralled. I have sat metted by the liquid strains of music of the world's greatest organizations and artists. My soul has erased as their mediations notes were wafted to my ear. I have heard the silvery notes of the Royal Band of Scotland. I have responded to the duet tones of the King's Own. I have arisen with 10,000 others when the United States Military Band founded "The Star Spangled Banner." My heart warmed when John McCormack sang with tender voice, the fairy tale songs of his native Ireland. Ernest Carrson, the golden tester has sung of his own son-siblings Italy. Petranzal has sung her way to my soul. Melissa I have applauded. Gail Curtis has warbled her mydies tones while my frame was thrilled. I have heard my own secretive people from the bladder of The St. Louis Argus N.A.A.C.P. WILL FIGHT KU-KLUX Will Ask Officials To Prevent Organization Here. Judge Caulfield Delivers Stirring Address, Delegation Will See Governor About Lynching. The St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., is vigorously fighting the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in St. Louis and Missouri. Protests have been made to city and state officials urging that they forbid the organization in St. Louis of the Klan. Members of the Association pointed out that the purposes of the Klan were illegal and inimical to law and order. The officials were told that already the Klan had been attempting to intimidate Negroes who were purchasing property in St. Louis. Send Delegation To See Governor The Anti-Lynching meeting of the local Branch of the Association held at the Metropolitan Church last Sunday was well attended and gave evidence of an earnest purpose on the part of the people to abolish lynching in Missouri. Resolutions were adopted by the organization condemning Sheriff Moore and the act of the Grand Jury at Bowling Green and commending Governor Hyde for his prompt action and urging him to remove Sheriff Moore and to offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of members of the mob and to send special investigators to Bowling Green and requesting the Governor to include in his message to the coming special session of the Legislature an anti-lynching bill, for the consideration of that body. The Association voted to send a delegation to see the Governor and the conference has been arranged for today at two o'clock. Mrs. Spencer Packard, Rev. T. J. Moppins, Editor Mitchell, Atty., Gee. L. Vangnang and Rev. C. A. Williams are among those who will go to Jefferson City this morning. They will meet the delegation from Kansas City, St. Joseph, Columbin and other towns in Missouri and go to wait on the Governor and urge action on his part with reference to lynching. Caulfield Delivers Stirring Address One of the features of the meeting was the address delivered by former Judge Henry S. Caulfield. In a calm and straightforward manner, Judge Caulfield commended the work of the Association and urged the people to become members of it. He stated that he thought it was doing just the kind of work that needed to be done in America, and that it was working for a square deal and an equal opportunity for every man in the race of life. He talked of the preenage conditions existing in this country and quoted from a decision of Judge Adams of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in handling the Smith case here. Judge Caulfield's address was warmly received and many splendid comments of approval were heard from the audience. A large number of persons joined the Association there. Drive Contest. Lively Despite the downpour of rain last Tuesday night the workers in the N. A. A. C. P., drive met at the Pine St. Y. M. C. A. to make their reports. A large number of memberships were reported from the various installations. At the date of going to press the exact number of memberships obtained could not be ascertained, but it was well on toward a thousand. The Battalion headed by Major Carter lead with 202 memberships. The Second Battalion lead by Major J. H. Evans was closely followed by the Battalion headed by Major B. F. Abbott. So close is the race between those two Battalions for second place that two or three memberships either way will decide the winner. Other Battalion Commanders making good reports are Majors T. J. Mopping, Mrs. Chloe Russell, Mrs. J. D. Duke and Rev. H. Hamilton. EQUAL RIGHTS LGUE HAS CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT HARDING Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1921 Says War With Japan Would Excite World's Darker Races Says War With Japan Would Excite World's Darker Races Noted Prelate Warns That Such A Conflict Would Mean Death To White Race. Says American Negro Would Be Actually Inflamed In Such A Crisis BY Edward Marshall NEW YORK-"For a day or two quite recently, I was worried lest the greatest war of all might be precipi- tated before long," said Bishop Nichol- iah, friend of Kings and Cabinet Min- isters, tremendous moral force in Europe, named by the Archbishop of Canterbury as the worlds greatest churchman. He spoke to me upon the eye of his departure from America. "Newspaper dispatches indicated a state of growing tension between America and Japan. Now, I am as- sured by friends and read in papers that your President says nothing of the sort is possible." Bishop Nicholiah had just swept round the circle in America, winning everywhere such plaudits as might have been expected for a man so celebrated, not only for sheer good- ST.LOUIS GETS C. M.E. CONFERENCE ST.LOUIS GETS C. M.E. CONFERENCE Bishop C. H. Phillips, who arrived in St. Louis from the Connectional Boards of the C. M. E. Church, which adjourned in Jackson, Tenn., last Saturday, announced that St. Louis was successful in getting The General Conference, and that it would convene here in May, 1922. Cleveland, Ohio was the nearest competitor, but St. Louis made the best offer, said Bishop Phillips, who departed Thursday evening for Kentucky, but will return to speak at Lane Tabbernacle Sunday, June 26. He will depart the last of August to attend the Economical Conference which will be held in London. Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Of Central Church Seventy-five years ago this spring the Central Baptist Church was organized and held their first prayer meetings in the home of the parents of the late Wyatt Scott on Cherry street. Just a haidful of worshipers, 24 made up this first group. There will be a week of celebrating of this organizing of the church. The week will begin with the last Sunday in May and continuing thru the first Sunday in June. It will be a most notable week in what will be Central's last great campaign for liberation from debt. By the first of July, it is expected that the last ten thousand dollars will be raised. All members are urged to be present Sunday hear details of the great effort. Dr. A. C. Powell of New York has been invited to be with us during a part of the anniversary week. Pastor Stevens preaches in the morning and baptising at night. Garvey Movement Pictures Create Great Impression To all those who saw the picture of the Black Star Line with Black Captains and Officers also the departments with the Factories, Liberty Hall, Offices and Officers of the Parent Body in New York combined with the giant parade over two miles long which paraded down Lenox and Seventh Avenues amidst great throngs at the opening of the convention last August in New York City could not help but be impressed with the workings of the organization as founded by the Hon. Marrus Garvey, which in the new space of three and a half years has brought, 13 members rescued to over 5,000,000 members held is now sweeping through the world, making Negroes a united people, building up business in their communities, teaching them how to produce the things that they have to secure from other people for themselves and how to go into the export and import businesses, etc. The more often people attend the meetings the more impressed they become for it is truly a forum that bids us to do for ourselves. All those who never attend the meetings it will be of interest to hear the Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, manager and chairman of the Field Corps from New York, also a traveler of South and Central America, British West Indies, Europe and Africa, who can enlighten us on many things in distant lands, with nearly all races. Meeting will be held Sunday afternoon in Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Elliott and Wash stregt at 3:00 p. m. Come and hear the Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, Mr. W. C. Thompson, president, Mys. Harding, lady president and many other speakers will take part in the program. Meetings during the week will be ness, but as the advisor of statesmen, "How glad I am that war cloud has passed," he continued, "may be guessed from my quite firm belief that such a war would be the start of a tremendous cataclysm which inevitably would end in the death of all our western civilization. "That there could even be light talk of such a war is proof that the world is not yet sane. Here are the biggest men of all upset by the smallest thing on earth! "Yap! Yap! What is Yap that it should threaten a world war? "You in the United States, it seems to me, safely can cause to think in terms of war. Why should you go to war.

We are hoping that each one who pledged will do his part on Sunday to reach this goal." Standard Life Ins. Co. Makes Good Record The record of the Standard Life Insurance Co., for last year indicated that it is rapidly growing in popularity. At any rate it is nevertheless a fact that 1920 was the Company's banner year. Her agents put more new business on the books than for any single year since the Company was organized. That is to say they wrote $13,729,169 worth of insurance that was accepted by the Home Office. If al the applications sent in had passed successfully, the total for the year would have been many thousands more. The Policies range from $500 to $10,000. At the same time the Company paid death claims amounting to $99,663.34. FRANCE SENDS MORE BLACK TROOPS TO GERMAN TERRITORY Associated Negro Press MAYENCE, France, May 11—One division of black Moroccan infantry and one division of cavalry, under command of General Simon, in fifteen trains have left for the Ruhr. They arrived in Duesseldorf on last Tuesday morning. It is said in diplomatic circles that this is a reply to the German propaganda spread abroad in America against the use of black troops in Germany. Baltimore Colored Man Will Run For The State Legisalture The Associated Negro Press BALTIMORE, May 11—Truly Haitian banker and real estate operator has announced that he will be a candidate for one of the Republican governors in Louisiana. DR.L.K.WILLIAMS IS COMING HERE Prof. J. H. Smiley America's Best Singing Evangelist Will Also Be In Revival At First Baptist Church May 17 To 27. St. Louisiana will again have an opportunity to hear Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of the largest church in the world, Olivet Baptist, Chicago. Dr. Williams will preach each night in a Wide Awake Revival Meeting at First Baptist Church, Cardinal, and Belle avenues, from May 17 to 27 inclusive. He is recognized as a gospel speaker without a peer and those who heard him last year will." eager to hear him again. Street Meetings will be held on a Gospel Truck at various street corners as was done last year by the same congregation with such splendid effect. The first assistant pastor to Dr. Williams will again conduct these meetings. Pastor Maxwell, of the First Baptist Church stated that "This is no financial scheme, and no collection will be taken in these street meetings. The only purpose of our church is to take the Gospel to those who will not come to it believing that the gospel must be preached to all as witness. "An added feature in this year's great soul-saving campaign of Mother Church' is the coming of Prof. John H. Smiley of Louisville, Ky. to lead the singing. "Prof. Smiley is America's best singing Evangelist and all should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing him." The public is invited to these meetings. HEALTH WEEK A SUCCESS The Health Week promoted by the Social Workers' Conference was promoted by the Tuberculosis Society as the most forward movement yet proposed by Negroes. Each chairman together with his most faithful assistants, made each day's program a real success. Along with the agencies heretofore mentioned, too much praise cannot be given to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company which donated 40,000 pieces of literature and had on exhibit at the Y. W. C. A. a pictorial chart showing the need for better health conditions. The conference is also deeply indebted to the St. Louis Argus for the very heavy support it gave in the movement. The generous response on the part of physicians, undertakers, principals, teachers, and a host of others cannot possibly be mentioned. A more detailed report will be made next week. SOCIAL WORKERS MEET AT KANSAS C (Special To The Argus) KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 12. — The Committee on Negro Problems of the Missouri Social Workers' Conference met today in Kansas City to formulate the program for the annual State Conference for social work which will be held in St. Joseph next November 13, 14, 15. The Committee is composed of Mrs. M. L. Crosthwait, Kansas City; Prof. C. C. Hubbard, Sedalia; Mrs. Ida Walker, St. Joseph; Pres. Clement Richardson, Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, and Geo. W. Buckner, Executive Secretary of St. Louis Urban League, Chairman. Mr. Buckner said to an Argus reporter before leaving Wednesday night: "The purpose of calling the Committee together at this time is to decide upon a program which will meet our needs and have the several papers show the results of research. Heretofore, we have been given slight consideration in the annual State Conference due in no small way to our lack of scientific knowledge of State problems, coupled with little or no interest in their solution. This year many colored workers will attend and we expect larger results." Mr. Buckner will spend Monday in Columbia where he will meet with a group of white and colored citizens in the interest of Urban League work. Industrial Mortgage Company Organized (Special To The Argus) COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 11—There has been organized in the City of Columbus, Ohio, the Columbus Industrial Mortgage and Security Company, with its headquarters at $75 E.

And never has there been such an outpouring of the Faithful from the oasis of every desert as will gather in the month of August in the Mound City, that is rich in historical wonders.

A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE 5 CENTS HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED BY BANDITS HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED BY BANDITS Colored Employe Of North St. Louis Trust Co., Kidnapped. Identifies His Assailant And Is Later Assassinated Because He Refuses To Be Bribed. FUNERAL SUN. 2 P. M. AT UNION MEMORIAL All St. Louis, at least that majority with a sense of law and honor, is aroused over the shaying of Erris Pillow. Colored messenger of the North St. Louis-Savings Trust Company. Pillow was slain by unknown white men, in front of his home, 4060 Fairfax avenue, last Monday night at 9:45. He was just about to enter his home after leaving the bank, which closes late on Mondays. Three shots were fired and those first to arrive found him lying on the sidewalk, half conscious. He was rushed to Hospital No. 2, in an ambulance, where he died a half hour later. The coroner's autopsy revealed that the three bullets fired at Pillow came from an automatic pistol of 32 caliber. They were steel jacketed. One in his stomach killed him. The second burrowed into a watch in his pocket while the last went wild. "Bank Robbery Cause Of It" Police Sergt. Fred Armstrong testified that Pillow said to him, "The bank robbery was the cause of it." He said he asked Pillow if he recognized the men who shot him, but that Pillow seemed unable to name anyone. Witnesses to the circumstances of the shooting bore out the story told yesterday, that the two men were on foot, and that immediately after shooting Pillow, they ran a short distance east on Fairfax avenue and got into an automobile which took them away. Had Been Kidnapped The robbery in which Pillow was to have been a witness occurred at Jefferson avenue and Wash street. As Pillow waited on the curb for a car an automobile rushed up before him and he was assaulted by its four occupants. They threw a coat over the messenger and dragged him into the motor car. On the Compton viaduct he was thrown out when the bandits' auto mobile collided with another. They escaped with a satchel containing $66,576.72 by commandering a passing motor truck. Hogan was arrested as he fled down an alley with three other men at Hickory street and Virginia avenue, near where the satchel and its contents were recovered almost simultaneously. Hogan was indicted and was at liberty on $10,000 bond when arrested for questioning in the Pillow murder. The Credit Attorney's office and the entire Police Department have put their full strength behind the inquiry to test the challenge that was firing at the law in the killing of a man _just because_ he was a witness in a highway robbery. Challenge To The People President Miller said that the slaying of Pillow was a direct challenge to the people of St. Louis who desired to maintain law and order. He said that the murder was plainly the work of gangsters, who having failed to intimidate Pillow, sought the only remaining manner in which to definitely seal his lips. A Martyr To Justice Pillow was a martyr to justice. He had without thought of consequence to himself, given evidence that resulted in the arrest of a highwayman, who turned out to be a burglar, purged by a chicken-hearted Governor. Pillow was killed solely because he was a courageous witness. He died in the cause of Justice. The three shots aimed at him were aimed at Justice, at the Majesty of Missionarii at Civilization. Refused To Be Bribed The story of how efforts were made to bribe Pillow, so he would not testify against James Hagan, was brought out in the highest by several witnesses. Mrs. Harriet Pillow, widow of the assassin's victim, said a Negro named Johnson, claiming to be an employe of the City Hall, called upon the messenger four weeks ago and told him that if he would not testify against the hooligan suspect, he would be "remembered" by Hogan's brother, "a rich politician." The ex convict is a brother of Edward "Jelly Holl" Hogan, formerly a member of the Missouri House of Representatives and a State beer and liquor inspector. PAGE TWO Serpe!

Boswell has returned from Jefferson City, Mo., where she addressed the inmates of the State prison on Mother's Day. While there she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stokes, managers of the Silver Moon Hotel, who also highly entertained her. Letters of congratulations are beginning to come in from the inmates who enjoyed and were inspired by the lecture. One letter states "O. if we only had more women of your type and standing in our race, there would be a sudden change in the social and prison life of the State of Missouri. We hope you will come again, because, our poor hearts go out for such doctrines." Mrs. Boswell told the inmates in the presence of the authorities, that, "It is impossible to transform a man or woman in the state of brutal treatment, this act must be carried out through love and kindness." She then told the story of Paul Jones, the greatest sea-fighter America has ever produced; how he could step in a midst almost savages and speak one word and everyone would become calm. The chaplains treated her royal and all invited her to return. Pastor of Berea Presbyterian Church Made Doctor of Divinity. Dean Johnson of Lincoln University Pennsylvania announced at the luncheon given in his honor at Poro College by the St. Louis Alumni Association that the Trustees of the University at the Theological Commencement.

The bride's gown of embroidered Georgette satin with a court train which fell from the shoulders, the entire creation touched off with orange blossoms, was simple, yet elaborate, and entrancingly becoming. Her veil of embroidered net shaped at the crown to resemble a coronet, was held in place by a garland of Orange blossoms. Her single ornament, a string of pearls, Brides' roses and Lilies of the Valley composed the Bridal Bouquet. Miss Mae Mitchell was the bride's maid and little Miss Chara Polk the bride's train-bearer. Mr. Leslie McCall served as the Groom's Best Man. The house was turned into a veritable bower by the artistic arrangement of smilax and palms. Miss Minnie DeHaven received the guests at the reception which followed the wedding. The bride and groom are now at home, 4210 W. Cote' Brilliante after spending a week in Sparta, Ill., on the Moody Farm. BIRTHS RECORDED Hays W. & V. Huston, 413a S. Jefferson. A. & M.

What more could have been said by him whose organization was really responsible for the extent will do well to turn their eyes towards band. You may, there is a strange co-incident in the Ku-Klux-Klan and the death of Erris. According to newspaper reports, a band of outlaws has been organized in this city under the style and name of Knights of Ku-Klux Klan. It's high an lofty purposes (?) as announced by the Grand "Gobber," are all rot. The only purpose of the organization is to propagate in these United States a Southern idea of government which was born before and during the Civil War. As a matter of fact, the people of the South have less regard for law and order than any other portion of the country. We challenge the statement of the lofty purposes in any community. The record following the path where such an organization exists shows no lofty ideas of its members, nor any noble deeds to their credit. But, on the other hand, the path that follow in the wake of the Ku-Klux Klan is full of foul deeds, mysterious murders, race riots, lynching, night riders, night terrorizers and every kind of devilry in the catalogue of crime. Their lofty ideas are, in fact, not above those of the horse. Brute force, without regard for the constituted authorities of the law, is the kind of work they are doing. A striking co-incident comes to our mind as we think of the unusual murder of Erris Pillow, the Negro bank messenger, by night riders a few nights ago. The best minds of the city admit that it is a strange case. They admit that never before has a cold-blooded murder occurred in this City; all the circumstances considered. Of course, no one connected with the Ku-Klux-Klan will admit that it is the work of the Klux, because they are sworn to do their work under the shadow of darkness, and in secrecy. Yet, they like publicity. Who knows but that the murder of Erris Pillow was the first big gun celebrating the entrance into the city of that mysterious band. We imagine that a secret meeting has been called and the members have been informed to go out and get recruits on account of this mysterious murder. There is no doubt in our mind but that there is some significance attached to the fact that while the whole city is wrought up over the murder of Pillow, the grand gobbler of the Ku-Klux-Klan would seek the newspapers to announce to the public that he is here and his band of outlaws are at work. What more could have been said by him without his telling that his organization was really responsible for the crime? The police department will do well to turn their eyes toward the activities of this mysterious band. Say what you may, there is a strange co-incident with the announcement of the Ku-Klux-Klan and the death of Erris Pillow, the bank messenger. The Tragic Death of Erris Pillow Nothing has stirred the city in day as now the tragic death of Erri occupied this city a few days ago. To be sure he was not the first chance to defend himself in this case or old prejudices have figured in the in character, in many respects. The murder.

He he was not the first to be shot without and himself in this city. In other instances he have figured in the cases. This was our many respects. The police are baffled as to why it is generally believed that the murderer, yet mystery surrounds the case.

"God has some great purpose in all that he does. This vast universe once trembled on its axis. Subterranean fires ran hissing through its bowels. No moon peeped through the blanket of darkness to kiss, the snowy crest of some eastern mountains. No silver sentinels of the skies bedecked it at night. No constellations lighted and no diadems beckoned the heavens. No winds sang their lullaby in the tree tops; no humans called to kill. God willed the existence of material forms; systems blaned into being waters rippled the golden sands of earth; rainbows arched the clouds; the sun laughed jubilantly; the world was clothed in green; the trees matched the dress; animals grazed on the eastern hills; the morning stars sang together in the year of jubilee. And what was all this vast crest pleased in the eye, and made sweet to the ear without malt? In a beautiful garden falter than the highland ridge, the blemish bark of wetland van from the Solway to Lake Katrine, perfect more than the queenly slopes of France the land of the lily; superior to the magnificent stretches of the Alps in Switzerland; the olive groves of sun-kissed Italy; or the grandeur of our own Yellowstone Park. God placed man, and as man has ever since—Adam the progenitor of the race was lonesome; morose; uncomfortable; dissatisfied without woman. And God caused a sleep to fall upon Adam—and not from his feet to be under him; nor out of his head to be over him, but out of his side to be his helpmeet and his companion—God took a rib and made woman. From the thence we may trace the actual beginning of civilization; the inception of the hour; the organization of the family.

All members are requested to attend. J. W. McIntyre, President E. T. Summytt, Secretary. The St. Louis Colored Fire Company. For many years the Colored people of St. Louis have been asking for a Colored Fire Company. About two years ago so insistent became this demand that the Missouri Negro Republican League Club, which was the only permanent regular. Colored Republican organization in a position to demand things of this nature, resolved to go to the front and make this fight for our people. In the fall of 1919 a delegation from the Club visited the Mayor and the Director of Public Safety and informed them of the demands of the Colored people and that the Missouri Club indorsed those demands. At a mass meeting at Louisiana Hall in February of 1921 Director McKelvey sent word that the Colored people would get a fire company.

"They would be spectators looking at a battle, but participating not at all—at first.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO NEW ORGANIZATION OF NEGROES WILL FIGHT THE KLAN Mysterious Order Called "Knights Of The Kerosine Kan" Will "Fight Fire With Fire." Authorities Can Locate Neither Head Nor Tail Of It. The Associated Negro Press. SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH May 11,—"Fighting Fire With Fire" certain groups of Negroes in various sections of the South have formed an underground drastic organization that is throwing actual terror into the hearts of the members of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan. The name of this mysterious but certainly effective organization is the Knights of the Kerosine Kan. The word has gone out, and has reached the places where works count most, that for every Negro terrorized or unjustly put, to death there shall be a demonstration in fireworks in the com- munity thereabouts. So mysteriously are the workings of this invisible that neither heads nor tail-of it can be located, and yet it is known that where certain perpetrations of terror have been carried on, there has sim- ultaneously occurred mysterious fires that have lighted up the country for miles around In one Southern city, well known thru-out the nation, where the Ku Klux sought to terrorize the community because of the mere alleged attack of a Negro upon a white woman, and the Klux called for "all red blooded Americans" to meet at a certain point at a certain hour to wipe out the Negroes, there was one of the biggest fires in the business district" that was ever seen there. The fire occurred at the "appointed hour" and detracted attention from the proposed event. Conservative white people of the South know of this turn of affairs and that accounts for one of the reasons why they are so boldly denouncing the Klux.

NEW YORK, May 11.—The National Urban League with headquarters at 127 East 23rd street, New York City, is able through the generosity of the University of Pittsburgh to offer two additional fellowships in social service training for colored students during the school year 1921-1922, making eight in all. Tuition of $50 each for two colored students, selected as "Fellows" of the League in the School of Economics at the University, will be remitted and fellowships of approximately $500 each will be provided by the Pittsburgh Urban League and the National Urban League. The other six fellowships are as follows: Two in the Graduate School of Social Service Administration of the University of Chicago, two in the New York College and one in the Pennsylvania School of Social Service in Philadelphia, Pa. Applicants who are graduates from reputable colleges or who have had the equivalent of college training either thru experience or reading are eligible and should make application to the Educational Committee of the League at first headquarters. Officials of the League state that there is a great demand for the trained social service worker and that the field offers excellent opportunities.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASS'NS ONLY HOPE FOR HOUSE SHORTAGE The Associated Negro Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 11.—The building and loan associations are the national hope and means for house shortage relief. Congress had their usefulness in mind when it exempted them from income tax. This exemption cannot be qualified or limited by any regulations of the International Revenue Department, and the homesteads will seek the highest courts if there is attempt to construe their status contrary to the laws of the states in which they operate. That was the statement of Thomas Pogue, vice-president of the Ohio League, to the Building and Loan Associations. Mr. Pogue was one of the lawyers who went to Washington for the homesteads.

When not in use the place was barricaded with the top of an old tin wash boiler. Her cooking was done over an open fire on the ground. Of a stygian blackness, with long yet kinky hair, streaming about her wrinkled face, "Aunt Katherine" presented a remarkable sight to the eyes of the health officer as she came scrambled out of her cave with the agility of a monkey. She wore a skirt of gummy sacking and a man's coat adorned with bits of twisted brass braid, ribbons and the five spot of clubs pinned on with a safety pin as a "protection against hoodoo." She says she is not certain of her age, but "remembers being born in Boston, but brought south by the "nigger traders" and belonging to the "Sandy Hamiltonis of Lyon county, Miss., and no better white folks ever put shoes on themselves." She admits one relative, a son, whom she said was "somewhere in the world, describing him as a "grown up young man, born in '67." In her youth, "Aunt Katherine" says she was up to all manners of devilment, "playing the fiddle and dancing." "But God's done called me from the ballroom floor," she explained, adding: "I wouldn't dance no more, cept it was in some place like Chicago, where I was unbeknownst." The Menance Of The House Fly Measures to meet and overcome the meace of the housefly for the spring and summer, 1921, must be taken now if St. Louis is not to have a pest of flies during this summer. The fact that the common housefly is a carrier of disease is a matter of general knowledge. Not only this, the housefly, harmless as it seems, is known to be the harbinger of death. Germs of typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery and tuberculosis are some of the poisons he carries. He has six feet. Each foot has two pads upon which there are tiny hairs which secrete a sticky fluid. Millions of germs are collected in this sticky fluid on each of these tiny hairs and six million germs have been found at one time on one fly. The fly lives on filth. He walks around in dirt and slime and then he carries this loathsome matter to the sweet mouth of the little baby, or by "tracking" over your dish of oatmeal or your biscuit, or your chocolate layer cake, he passes it on to you. He sits on the rim of your glass for a moment. You drink from that glass and swallow the thousands of germs which his masty jegs have left there. A wintered over female fly starts out in April. By September she has approximately six million progeny. If the early fly is killed immediately there will be no progeny. Every household should take up this question. Every individual should join the anti-fly army. Buy a fly swatter now and use it. Buy a fly trap. Keep all garbage covered. Keep all foods screened. Don't pass up a single fly. If you find a manure piles or a uncovered garbage can, report it to the City Health authorities. Stagnant pools and piles of rubbish are fly incubators. Screen your homes and keep the screens closed. The adult fly lays about 120 eggs. If all the eggs were hatched and all that flies lived, a single pair of flies in April would have a family of 5,588,720,000-000 by September. THE FUNCTION OF AN EDITOR From the North American Review Is it the function of a great editor to influence public opinion or merely to crystalize it? The answer is of course, that in doing the one he does the other. Yet an editor convinces rather by exposition than by dialectics. One has to judge of his opinions not so much by their proof as by their inherent reasonableness, not so much by their originality as by their simplicity, not so much by their ingenuity as their honesty. Brilliant a great editor may be both as reasoner and as descriptive writer, but not with a lawyer-like subtility. He is judge rather than lawyer—an unofficial judge in the court of public opinion, from which there is no appeal except to the court of history. And the public—not altogether at the mercy of its leaders, despite the growing difficulty of being really informed about public questions and public men—will always in the long run estimate the judge correctly. Samuel Butler says that most arguments convince us by their mere statement, or not at all; and the corollary of this is mere plausibility or more special pleading can generally be recognized. We know when we are being propagated or subjected to sly insinuation. We require of the leaders of public opinion that they shall be straightforward that when they are biased or when they fall into exaggerated statements of personal views, these opinions or impressions of theirs shall be advanced for just what they are worth and not supported by a serious proof; otherwise we know that they are not playing the game. You don't have to sleep with a man to give him justice. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1921 W.VA. LEGISLATURE GIVES $1,206,216 TONEGRO SCHOOLS State Also Buys 650 Acre Farm Of Rich Land As A Sight For A Hospital For The Insane. Also Aranging For Deaf And Blind School For The Race Special To The Argus. CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 41.—Over a million dollars, or, to be exact, $1,206,216.46 was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia Logstature, before its adjournment last week, for the creation and support during the next 2 fiscal years, beginning July 1st, next of Negro agencies and institutions, educational, elemsynary and corrective. Of this amount approximately one-third goes to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which receives one-third for salaries, buildings and current and other expenses $455,272.46. For the same purposes the Bluefield Colored Institute has places] to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for, buildings and land, and a similar home for girls. $30,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the Colored Orphans' Home, that institution is to receive for rebuilding $16,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium gets $22,500, and the deaf and blind school. $30,000. Other appropriations were; bureau of Negro welfare and statistics. $12,200; supervisor of Negro Schools, $5,400; advisory council to the state board of education. $5,200. The state has already bought a 650 acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school. The erection of buildings for both these establishments will probably be begun in the near future. Sites for the school for incorrigible boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, co-operating with the state board of control. When these are completed, the state will have eight institutions for and under the management of Negroes. DELAYING PAPERS UNPARDONABLE SIN SAYS POSTMASTER NEW YORK, April 28—Postmaster General Hays, in an address at the annual luncheon of the American Newsaper Publishers' Association, outlined the attitude of his department toward the press. Mr. Hays brought a personal message from President Harding, who told him yesterday, he said, to tell the publishers "we expect your help in bringing this republic and its varied interests into the 'straightforward track again'." Mr. Hays told the publishers he was determined to put the entire postal service upon a purely business basis "so serviceable and sound that no political party will ever again dare attempt to ignore or evade it ultimately." Not As Censor "There are two things in connection with our relation which I would state and re-emphasize," he said. "First, it is no part of the primary business if the postoffice department to act as a coensor of the press. This should not and will not be. "Second, we are going to get along together and do the right thing in all of these matters of classification, rates, etc., and I want it distinctly understood when will never be any occasion when a publisher with any kind of a grievance is not thrice welcome to sit down with the head of the department and work it out." **Unpardonable Sin** Mr. Hays promised to give the question of second-class mails his closest attention, saying the one unpardonable sin of the postoffice is not to deliver the daily newspaper on time. The newspaper is pre-eminently a thing a man wants when he wants it, and if he can't have it when he wants it, he doesn't want it at all." he said. thing a man wants when he wants it, and if he can't have it when he wants it, he doesn't want it at all," he said. "We all know that the newspapers go to press on time, that they get off the press on time, that they are delivered to the postoffice on time, and that, therefore, if they do not reach their subscribers on time the fault lies not with the publishers, but with the postoffice department. "And generally speaking, that's so. I'm not going to dodge the responsibility. There's no use in dodging when the dodging isn't good."

Don't Forget, If You Need Medicine In The Night BLONT FACTION OF ARKANSAS SENDS PROTEST TO HARDING Asks That U. S. Applegate Be Appointed As Register In Little Rock Land Office In Respect Of Colored Voters Who Are Two Thirds Of The Republican Party In That State. Associated Negro Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. May 14. The Blount faction of Republicans, the group that ran a Negro for Governor last fall, have seated a protest to the President and leaders of the Republican Party at Washington, which reads in part: "Notwithstanding the fact that we know that undersigned represent at least two thirds of the Republican voters in the State of Arkansas, we submit that in our struggle against impositions here perpetrated by those who have control of the recognized party machinery, we were only successful in getting one third of the vote cast in the last election (November) to our credit. You know this full well, and you know the handicaps against which we labor all over the southland. If, however, you have not already noticed it in the outcome of the election, we would respectfully direct your attention to the fact that in the contested counties in our State, the counties that were contested on the ground that republican mass conventions were called in hotels and places where none but a certain race of Republicans were customarily allowed to enter, except on the capacity of servants, which contests through the State Convention to the National Republican Convention, our votes outnumbered the votes of the "recognized" element in every county, for instance, Pulaski, Jefferson and Hempstead. Mark you, that we would have been in position to take care of our own interests in this matter, but for the unfair treatment given in these very counties. There are several other similar cases which we will not take time to have you consider. "In view of these facts and statements, we respectfully ask that 1. That the recommendations sent THE TRADE MAKER OF ARKANSAS TEST TO HARDING Be Appointed As Register In In Respect Of Colored To Thirds Of The Re- In That State. in by the committee of which Mr. H. L. Remmel is chairman be not followed out until a complete and full investigation can be had of party conditions here in Arkansas. 2. That the custom of appointing a Colored Republican to the office of Receiver in the Land Office at Little Rock be followed as heretofore. 3. That in view of the formidable showing made in the last general election by the Blount organization that the Hon. U. S. Applegate, be appointed as Register in the said Land office, or some other Republican whom we will, name if Mr. Applegate is not satisfactory. 4. If you do not feel that you can consistently grant the three foregoing requests, we respectfully ask that appointments of federal offices in Arkansas be held up, until there can be a reorganization of the party in this state, under the supervision of the National Republican Committee. "We respectfully submit that it is not ours to raise the Race or color question in the Republican party in this State or nation, but it has been raised on us and we are simply thrown on the defensive, and we are taking the only position that would be assumed under the circumstances by any self-respecting American citizens and tax papers that always support the Republican party. When you recognize the recommendation of the Remmel committee, you logically commit the Republican party of the nation to the policy of open discrimination on the ground of "Race, color or previous condition of servitude." —R. M. Carver, Jno. A. Hibbler, E. A. Morris, secretary, 1605 Bishop St., Little Rock, Arkansas.

Smiths remarkable Mothers Day sermon last Sunday morning was taken from the above text. The pastor is to be highly complimented for dedicating the best portion of his sermon to that part of the congregation that wore the white carnation. What a Friend We Have In Jesus, said Rew Smith, and taking the attitude, that those in the congregation whose mothers had crossed the Great Divide, could witness better as to the truth in this anthem. He asked them to stand and lift their voles together. The pastor paid tribute to the sainted mothers. He said there was too many in the pink carnation crowd that failed to realize the true value of mother. They shall learn her worthiness, said the pastor when it is too late. Sunday morning will be long remembered as a great commemoration of mother. Very few of the congregation were without carnations and pretty ones at that. The whites were in the majority.

BALTIMORE, MAY 11.—The State Board of Public Works has considered an offer from a number of Colored ministers representing the Washington Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church for the purchase of the property of the Maryland Industrial School for girls, located at Baker and Carey streets. The offer was made at a meeting of the trustees of the school, which is a State-aided institution. The Colored ministers explained that it is the hope of their conference to make of the institution a home for the aged and infirm ministers of their race. They tentatively suggested a price of $00,000 for the property, which the authorities will probably accept.

The Sunday Commercial, Appeal carries a long story on the subject, of which the following paragraph is a part: "Bob Church and his activities came in for a good share of the criticism contained in the red hot messages that went sizzling over the wires. How Bob himself felt about the matter no one seemed to care. They were mad thrud and thru and some of them intimated that If Bob did 'succeed in having a hand in manning the Memphis Postmaster, both he and his choice for the office were going to wish he had failed to put over his candidate. R. R. Church, who is still in Washington, has issued no statement on the subject, and it is 'not believed that he has any fear of the implied threats but old timers are saying it is one of the most remarkable incidents that ever happened in Tennessee." SPEAKING OF DRIVES (By William Pickens) The Associated Negro Press The Colored people of the United States are now conducting a great drive to increase the membership and power of the organization known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We have been an observer at some of the meetings. And one of the most significant things we have seen among them, was a little meeting in a little out-of-the-way town, where the Colored people are a little element. There is French Lick, Indiana, which is hard by the little town of West Baden and is its rival as a watering place. There are only about three hundred Colored people in these two hotel towns but together, most of them employed in the vast hotels and spring resorts. Out of three hundred colored folk nearly three hundred of them met at the K. of P. Hall for their N. A. A. C. P. drive meeting. And listen, it had rained in torrents all the afternoon and evening, so that most of us would expect to see no Colored folk out. It was such a might as Colored folk usually invade only when there is to be a popular wedding. But there they were crowding the little hall beyond standing room, and with a brass band by a Catholic priest. And listen again—in addition to a large number of One Dollar Members they enlisted 28 Five Dollar Members, 3 Ten Dollar Members, and 1 Twenty Dollar Member. That is more than 85 per cent of the Colored people of two towns came out, on the most inclement night, and more than 10 per cent of them took member ships of five and ten dollars and more. Suppose the Colored people of the whole United States could do even the half of this. Suppose that 40 per cent of our Colored folk should come out even on a good night, and that 20 per cent of them should join under any class of membership, and that 5 per cent of them should be memberships from five dollars up—the "problem of Colored people" would be over. The only thing left, would be to get the white man "solved" after that, and his solution would be simple. The first move in this matter is the Black Man's move, and that first move entails the last.

CORA GRAY HAIR CULTURIST PAGE NINE "THE SAGE OF ANACOSTIA" (By Nahum Daniel Brascher) Editor-in Chief, The Associated Negro Press Good morning, Children. How many remember the story of Frederick Douglass' life? How many of John Brown's life? Well, you know their names will never die. We must tell the world, and keep their memories fresh. The other day I visited the home of Frederick Douglass. He has been dead for a number of years, long before you were horn, but his home is being preserved to keep a place where we may all go and drink deep of the water of freedom. I wish you might have been with me. The home is over the suburb of Washington, called Anacostia. It is very pretty over there, across the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River. The great house sets on a beautiful hill that overlooks Washington, and is halfway hidden behind rows of cedar trees. Do you remember the name Mr. Douglass gave to his home? "Cedar Hill," that's right. There is a big, wide porch across the front of the house, and from it you get a wonderfully fine view of the Capitol, Washington's monument, Navy Yard, White House, the Lincoln Memorial and the new Amphitheatre in Arlington Cemetery, the military burying ground. Do you not fancy you see Mr. Douglass sitting on that big porch and looking out over the nation's capital city, and thinking of what he came through to have the privilege of living there, and thinking of what the future for us might be? We may feel sure that he would be very sad if he knew some of the things now going on in Washington. He was once United States Marshal in Washington, and I imagine there are some people here about that he would like to hang on by the toes for a while. Inside of the house you will find most of it arranged just as it was when Mr. Douglass died. There in the living room is the big arm chair in which he used to sit. The mahogany inlaid table brought from across the ocean many pictures on the wall, including those of Charles Sumner , William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others, including fine oil paintings. There is one paragraph that I wish to quote to you from the speech of John Brown, delivered just before he received the sentence of death. The whole speech is printed on satin, and is in a frame on the wall. But the paragraph says: "Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life, for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country, whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments, I say, let it be done" Isn't that worth remembering? No, children, that was not said last week, but over fifty years ago. However, there are still some "wicked, cruel and unjust enactments" in our land that must be done away with. In the library there is a very wonderful collection of books on subjects of every description, but those of human liberty and rights are in the lead. There are two of his hats, one big pana-ama and the other a high wide-brimmed stiff hat. There is Mr. Doughns' desk, with his papers just as he left them. At the East foot hill is a well, from known which Mr. Douglass used to water for his home. That is what I call the "Water of Freedom," coming from that well. About 100 feet in the \ rear of the home is a little hat, with a skylight. There is the place where Mr. Douglass used to go when he desired real solitude. Solitude is a privilege from which one gets blessings and strength. In solitude, one may unharden his soul unmolested, and lay his plea, unhampered, at the footstool of Mercy. Do not visit Washington without going to Cedar Hill. The property is now in the hands of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and Mrs. Mary B. Tathert, of Buffalo, N. Y., who directed the campaign to free the place from debt, is looking after the interests with a group of other ladies. If the people of this country including the boys and girls, would give $50,000 to these ladies, they could make a grand place of Cedar Hill. Have we pride enough, and sentiment enough, do we love the inspirational memories of liberty enough to do this? I think we do. Frederick Douglass is a commanding figure of the world's history. Read again the story of his life written by himself. It will stir your hearts. Time will not efface his deeds, and we must ever keep afresh in our minds the memory of Frederick Douglass—The Sage of Anacostia. SOLVING THE NEGRO PROBLEM LIFTING THE NEGRO (By Drusilla Dunjee Houston) The chief thought in the heart of the least Upe of Negroes, is how to lift the unreached classes. Our greatest need to this end is a trained social service group. Well meaning yet unprepared characters may do a world of harms if this work does not fall into the hands of people of understanding. No man, who has, not some broader vision, than the average man, can plan this work. There must be ethnological knowledge of the trails and characteristics of the races. What might be one race's meat might be another race's bison. Not every man who thinks he understands the Negro does an Our imitation of the "ways of the white folk" has been greatly to our detriment. One must understand Negro nature to know how to lift. The better Negro, like the best Southerner, after the war, had to make the Turtle struggle for existence; but today we must realize that from the home he has gained he must step forth to do his part toward the real solution of the Negro problem, not how to clutch but how to reach and lift the marginal classes. The more learned Negro, not only Price 50¢ Hought BLACK-WHITE QUININE POMADE This Groom of Minutes The Groom of the Milk white man, does. They have given little heed to the fact, that the white man in his latter centuries of growth has lived out and worked out many problems, for the security of the Caucasian race, that the black man has yet to face. The false ideals and wrong living of the worst Negro, so close to the life of the children of better classes is the greatest handicap to Race progress. American must awaken to the fact if we would save our own children we must help these. The Negro indifferent to race uplift has been a traitor to his own interests. The deeds of the worst Negro have cut the grounds of privilege from under the best Negro's feet. Unjust legislation dehands all Negroes. When the strong of a race or nation ignore the needs of the weak all shall fall together. That is but God's eternal justice. There is no better citizen in America than the readily enlightened Negro. Not those of 'the little learning' that can make men useless for life's real needs. Today the best Negro is in the thickest of the fight to lift the weight of the Negro's burden. Social duty does not mean to him self improvement or enjoyment, he helps to lift others as he climbs. The older Negro possessed more of this philanthropic spirit than we see today. Commercial development has somewhat coarsened the fibre of the Race. Starting out fifty-five years ago without a dollar, there has been but little opportunity to study Negro needs and the science of meeting them; because of this social service movements often start among Negroes enthusiastically but die out for want of knowledge of how to carry them on. There is always the lack of finance and leisure among the class fitted to carry them on. With this situation often steps characters unite in life and intelligence to do any more than do incalculable harm. As their life so shall their work become. In spite of those difficulties, children of the 'old guard Negro,' who worked sacrificially for Race-betterment, are stepping forth from their homes to give the best of their thought and life to lifting their Race. With small remuneration, with the sacrifice of all their time, these with a small band of heroic whites in their own way, according to their own God-give light, are attempting to steer the torrent. As small stones lodged in channels have changed the currents of mighty rivers, so may these two God-inspired forces be able to lift American life. THE FRESIDENTS "ATTENTION OF MIND" In his first constitutional address, before Congress, President Harding spoke earnestly of desiring to formu late "a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life." It is a matter of special and significant interest that The Chicago Defender is pursuing, along with a few other newspapers, an attitude of criticism of the President's suggestions, while Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, speaking editorially in The Crisis, praises the utterances on the Race Question. A vast majority of the newspapers, and of individuals, both men and women, regard the special references and suggestions of the President with great satisfaction and hope. remarks by the President's friends that advancement has rather softened than hardened his heart; that he has manifested an even larger degree of human interest than less, and has gone about the task of Chief Executive with a will and deterimental notion that are producing splendid results. Therefore, it may be stated with fine assurance, and with some degree of authority, that the P president's personal attitude of mind is sympathetic, tolerant fair and just. This attitude is born, full grown, and unyielding. It rises above class, religion, section and race and has the righteos as, God-fearing stamp of universality. "It is a consumation devoutly to be wished." It has seemed to most people who are studying the question, to be a decently far reach from an administration and a president that continuously ignored favorable consideration of matters affecting Colored Americans, to an administration and a president willing to seek to find some way out of the woods. Opponents of the President's suggestions question his sincerity of purpose, the timeliness and adequacy of the utterances, and Mr. Harding's own attitude of mind, there is certainly no room for doubt. Those who regard the President's attitude of a ward politician who seeks to pumper his constituents, with unadulterated "bull-con," do abandon an injustice. From the beginning of his political career, Mr. Hardling has always expressed the loftiest and most sincere sentiments in behalf of all Americans, their welfare, liberty and happiness. He has always been popular in Ohio, his home state, where he is best known because he has always been conscientious, earnest, sincere, and a careful student of the other fellow's trouble.

Therefore, it may be stated with fine assurance, and with some degree of authority, that the P president's personal attitude of mind is sympathetic, tolerant fair and just. This attitude is inborn, fullgrown and unyielding. It rises above class, religion, section and race and has the righteo as, God-fearing stamp of universality.

The President's motives are above question and beyond reproach. His methods are subject to controversy and discussion, which his attitude of mind welcomes, but a practical, workable improvement should be advanced by those who do not agree, one based on the knowledge that we are facing conditions, not theories.

ATIENS, Gn., May 11.—Farm labor in Georgia is plentiful and working for Mss wnges than a year ago, according to Hul M. Stanley, Georgia Commissioner of Labor. The general labor situation has improved since the first of this year, Mr. Stanley said, but some sections of the state report a "super-abundance of unskilled labor," at this time. Statistics compiled on January 1 showed 80 per cent reduction in employment from January, 1920 to January 1921, in cotton mills and, fertilizer factories, with 3,200 railroad shop and track men idle." Mr. Stanley stated that since that time the strike on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad has ad led several hundred railroad men to those idle.

Team Work And Batting Thrill The Fans. The St. Louis Giants Opened the 1821 season, of the Colored National League, at home last Sunday, May 8, by defeating Joe Green's Chicago Giants 9 to 0. Three Windy City twirlers were led to the slaughter, and thirteen vicious hits were made off their delivery. The Giants scored four runs in the first on Wickware's wildness, Kennard's home run and Wickware's wild throw. Luther, who followed Wickware on the mound, was also treated roughly, the Giants finding his delivery for three runs. Drake the local hurler, held the Windy City boys' to three hits and retired the opposition in order in six of the nine innings. Only one of the Chicago players reached second base. Brooks, with three out of four, led the hitters. EDDIE HOLT One of the pleasing features of the game was the batting and fielding of Eddie Holt. It was the general opinion of the fans last year that this little second baseman was a coming star, but he appears this season to have arrived. He will be a big asset on the team this season. Regardless of the many counter attractions, throughout the city, the big grand stand was filled with enthusiastic rooters. On Monday the St. Louis Giants defeated the Chicago Giants 0 to 2 in eight innings, the contest being called on account of rain. Taylor, pitching for Chicago, deserves a better fate, the poor support of his fielders allowing the Iowa to count all of their six runs. Taylor led the hitters with two hits out of two times at bat.

CHICAGO GIANTS AND K.C.EACH WIN ONE CHICAGO, Ill. May 7. — The opening game of the 1921, Saturday season between the Kansas City Monarchs and the American Giants resulted in a victory for Rube Foster's men by a score of 2–0. The contest was mostly a pitcher's battle between Dave Brown of Chicago and Rube Currie of the K. C. s. Neither team did much hitting. The American Giants securing tour while the Monarchs only touched Brown for one safe hit. Foster's men squeezed the first run over the pan after Torrentite hit one to center in the fifth, later stealing second, from which point he was advanced to third on a saverie, scoring on a squeeze, in which Martarcher laid down a perfect bunt.

COMPTON HILL CUBS WIN DOUBLE HEADER The Compton Hill Cubs won another double header at Chuteau and Compton avenues last Sunday. Their first victory was over the Howdy team 11 to 2. In the second game, the Cubs hammered three St. Louis Cubs pitchers to the tune of 14 to 7. Captain N. Knight, of the St. Louis Cubs, was disgusted with the cratic work of his boys. The features of the game were home runs by Nelson and C. Watt, over the right field fence and the act of stealing home by Womack.

Eschbacher The St. Louis Giants captured Sunday's game from the Chicago Giants by the rather one-sided score of nine to nothing. The large gathering of fans and fannettes who were present were highly enthusiastic and loud in their praise for the local team. This being the official. opening of the National Association season at the home grounds a great many of the loyal ones made it their business to be on hand despite the fact that there were quite a few other attractions on the program of the day. By the time the umpire called "Glay" the stands were well filled and but the last section on the third base side was packed with anxious spectators desirous of getting a line on the re-vamped Giant line-up. Many of those present who have followed the fate of the Giants for a great many years and who have been loyal supporters even in the days when the team was not going so good, expressed the opinion that the team Mills has put in the field for the coming pennant race classes with any team the St. Louis entry ever owned. There are those rather optimistic souls who predict a first-place team for this city this year and it would not be a great surprise to see the local boys cop the glad rag as the team, as it is now constituted, forms one of the best fielding and hitting aggregations in Colored baseball. The big problem with the St. Louis outfit is the question of pitching and Manager Mills has laid lines for several new pitchers to aid the local staff in the strenuous campaign and it would be surprising to see some new talent on the mound. Drake on Sunday displayed some real form and turned in a performance which, to say the least, was remarkable. His curve ball had a break on it that caused old timers like Hewitt and Charleston to remark about the way the ball was jumping in there. Not a little of the credit of Drake's great performance was due to the great coaching of Dan Kennard, who was working harder than ever and caught one of the greatest games of his career, keeping the ball in there all of the way. Kennard Injured Old man Jinx is still on Dan's trail and in the ninth inning he got in some of his deadly work when a foul tip off the bat of Jennings, who was hitting for Ball, tore a deep gash in the receivers right hand and several stitches were necessary to close the wound. The injury will render him useless for at least a month. Mills is fortunate this year in having Bennett and Hannah, two good men on hand to take care of the catching while the regular backstop is resting. COLORED TRACK TEAMS WIN BOTH EVENTS ENTERED (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON. May 11. — The winning of the only two events entered by representatives of Negro colleges at the recent Penn Relay Games on Franklin field, Philadelphia, Pa., April 29th and 30th, on part of the track teams from Howard University and Lincoln University, reflects great credit not only upon the schools themselves but also direct attention to the fine type of athlete produced at these schools, in spite of the inadequate facilities in many instances for proper training. The Howard University track team team composed of H. K. Perry, Robert Craft, R. F. Conte, and Leo G. Robinson, won the one-mile Relay over such schools as Ressselaer Polytechnic, Carnegie School of Technology, Hobart College Tufts College, Bowdin College and a number of other colleges. The Lincoln University track team won a one-mile Relay over George Washington University, Gallandet College, and a number of other white colleges in her class.

JACK JOHNSON WILL MISS THE DEMPSEY- CARPENTIER SCRAP From The Sport World, Kansas City Missouri LEAVENWORTH, Kans. — Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, now a prisoner in the federal penitentiary here on a white slave charge, who has been battling for his freedom so as to be able to attend the big fight to be staged by Jack Dempsey and Carpentier on July 2nd has weared of the fight and now looks upon the battle as lost so far as his freedom is concerned. Johnson is disgrusted with it all. Well, how do you like it here, inquired a visitor." The Ex-champion looked down at his questioner with an expression of mild surprise, flashed his golden mille, which quickly faded, leaving an expression of infinite disgust. The same feeling was expressed in this voice when he replied, softly, yet significantly and with a world of weariness in his tone: "Oh, Blank! blank!" But the ex-champion brightened a moment later when asked to foresee the result of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, and made the prediction that Dempsey will win in eight or ten rounds. "I reckon," said the visitor, "that you'd like to see the fight?" said, "and the light is July 2nd." Jack explained that his sentence is a year and a day, and that man does not get time off for good behavior when he has a short sentence. Consequently he has no hope of being out in time to see the big affair in the Jersey City pasture. "But, at that," said Johnson, "I have only, two more months here, then I am going back to New York and Chicago. I have many friends there and they are anxious to have me back in their midst. My work is that of athletic director. I give the men instructions in physical culture. They like it and it is good for them." One feature particularly that the visitor noted and that was of dress. Johnson was not in the prison garb. He wore a small cap of black silk, a soft white shirt and a pair of black mohair trousers. He looked healthy and robust and in the pink of condition. And despite his 43 years the visitor wondered just how many rounds could either Dempsey of Carpenter stay in the same ring with this glamorous mitt wonder and live to tell the tale. SUNDAY, MAY 22 S.

(By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, May 11. It is said 2,000,000 men are out of work in this country, yet several good jobs are going begging. Jack Dempsey is finding it difficult to secure hired hands for his training quarters which he will present pitch in Atlantic City by the sad sea waves. It's funny things about some of our fighters. They claim they can lick Dempsey, but when they are offered the opportunity of doing it every day, they shy off. Dempsey does not ask them to "pull" when they are training with him. He puts them under no bonds to keep the peace. He is willing to have them tear into him, biff, bang, and there is nothing to prevent them from knocking him out if he can. Thus it would appear to be a good opportunity for a man to make a quick reputation, but is there any great rush to the doors of opportunity? There is not! When Dempsey was training for Jess Willard, his manager, Jack Kearns, went to Harry Wills, the Negro heavy, and offered him $5,000 to work with the present champ. Wills declined the offer. This was probably more money than Wills received from his average battle. He does not appear often in the ring and much is said of his inability to secure matches. Yet Wills would not work with Dempsey, and his reason was that he thought he could whip either Dempsey or Willard. Perhaps he could. But it seems strange he did n't jump at the opportunity of proving it. Training camp courtesy may demand that a training partner must not "show up" the man he is working with, but where the man is a defiant champion who has no objection to being shown up, it would appear to be a great spot for a contender. Kid Norfolk, another Negro fighter who caims a title has declined to assist Dempsey in preparing for Carpentier. Norfolk's reason is said to be that he thinks he can work Dempsey. He says he will work with Jack if the champion will guarantee him a title match later on. Norfolk does not need such a guarantee from Dempsey. If he can go into Dempsey's training quarters and display superiority over the champion, nothing could keep him out of a title fill. Furthermore, the man who licked Dempsey would assuredly be a great card title or no title. Norfolk claims the Negro heavyweight championship, and bears a bell to that effect. He is a pretty cool fighter and would be very valuable to Dempsey. He is fast and crafty. Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh windmill, is said to have refused an offer to join Dempsey. Greb has often expressed a desire to fight Jack and it would seem that the training quartier would furnish him the opportunity to display his worthiness for a bout with the champion. Every big man in the business will be asked to visit Atlantic City for a remuneration while the champion is getting ready.
