Hospital Issue is Now Between Government and Ku Klux Klan
Tuskegee, Ala.—The whites of this little southern city openly flouted the red flag of lawlessness at constitutional government Tuesday night when they staged a big Ku Klux Klan parade. Over 1500 Klansmen took part in the parade. After marching through the streets of Tuskegee, the Klan paraders then went to Tuskegee Institute grounds and marched around the building, holding the fiery cross high. The marchers first went around the grounds in cars, but later decided to make another trip around on foot. The parade was termed a protest against the appointing of Negroes to positions in the government's new two million dollar hospital for Negro soldiers. The protest was staged Tuesday because Director Walter T. Hines, in charge of the Veterans Bureau at Washington was due to arrive here that afternoon to investigate local conditions. The Kluxers had originally planned to have the parade last week, but on learning of the coming of Director Hines, deferred it until the time of his expected arrival for the possible effect it would have on him.
It has been openly stated by well informed people that the fight against Negroes in the hospital was backed by the Klan, but this was the first open evidence of it. What possible effect the parade will have on Director Hines is not known, but the issue is now solely between the government and the Ku Klux Klan, with the government, according to statements published by Director Hines, favoring a complete Negro personnel and the Klan, with Alabama State Senator R. H. Powell, as its spokesman, demanding a complete white personnel. The agents of the government must now decide whether the constitution is the basic law which they must stand by or whether the Koran of the Klan shall be substituted.
Now that the invisible hand of the Klan is in the open, any decision made must effect it one way or the other. If the Klan's contention is upheld, constitutional government in any form will completely cease to exist in the south.
The ground where this hospital now stands is no longer in the control of the state of Alabama, but is now a government reservation and will be protected by the United States Government. Local state laws will not effect this hospital and any crime or (Continued on page 4)

The Washington Tribune
Why are the white people of the South protesting against a Negro personnel at the Veteran's hospital at Tuskegee.
This question has been asked by every Negro who has given this matter any thought or consideration, especially during the past month. This question has been asked in parlor, offices, mass meetings and even in warehouses and work shops; yea, every place where Negroes gather, because it is a question that involves every Negro in America. But no plausible answer seems to have been forthcoming.
The rapidity with which events have been happening, especially since the Ku Klux Klan has displayed its hand, has caused this question to be asked with greater emphasis.
As the leader of the South's fight so far has been Alabama State Senator, R. H. Powell of Tuskegee, it was up to him to declare to the world just why the South is interested in this matter and especially why they are making such a strenuous fight against the appointment of Negroes. So, Senator Powell, in a lengthy statement to the southern press last week, set forth what he termed the facts. After carefully reading Powell's statement, the followign facts were disclosed:
South Afraid of Negro Officers with decent Salaries
The whites of Tuskegee, while claiming such staunch friendship for the Negro, let it be known that this friendship does not extend to Negroes other than those of the Uncle Tom type. Powell says: "We know that a bunch of Negro officers with uniforms and big salarjes and the protection of Uncle Sam—Negroes who are not responsible to our (state of Alabama) local laws and not regardful of local prejudices—will quickly turn this little town (Tuskegee) into a place of riot, such as has been experienced in so many places between the races."
Thus it is seen that fear of the Negro is the basic reason for the South's protest. Note the words "minful of local prejudices" and "not responsible to local laws." These two statements represent the sum total of all the South's objection.

Tribune Reporter Investigating at Tuskegee
Realizing the gravity of the present situation at Tuskegee, The Tribune sent a representative there last week to investigate, first hand, the actual conditions at the Government's hospital.
The first report from this special representative came in Thursday. It states that Colonel Stanley, the white officer in charge, now has a staff of ten white doctors and fifteen colored nurses. There are now housed in the hospital about thirteen patients.
The report further states that "the feeling in this little town is extremely tense. The colored people in Tuskegee and at Tuskegee Institute absolutely refuse to discuss the situation because of fear. The whites about the place closely scrutinize every new face, especially if he shows any professional or important bearing."
Whites' Threat Force Bookkeeper to Leave
Tuskegee, Ala.—John J. Calhoun, jr., who qualified under the civil service as a bookkeeper, arrived here Tuesday to take charge of the hospital accounts, which were being kept by a young white girl. However, because of the threats made on his life immediately after he arrived, and with no government soldiers to protect him, Calhoun left that night.
Is this fear justified?
The only possible justification for this fear can be traced directly to the guilty conscience of the South. They have wronged the Negro so long, that they believe and fear, that as soon as he gets a little authority, he will try to retaliate.

NAT'L BENEFIT SHOWS GREAT PROGRESS
Company's Local Business Now Justifies Offices in Two Sections
To be able to render better service to all sections and as a token of appreciation for the past patronage, the Management of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Home Office 609 F Street, Northwest, has divided Washington into what is known as The Southwest and Northwest Districts. For the convenience of those residing in Southeast, Southwest and vicinity, the Southwest Office has been opened at 239 4½ Street, Southwest, with Mr. J. F. Harris, Manager; Mr. W. D. Thompson, jr., Assistant Manager; Miss M. F. Lemos, Secretary, where they will be glad to welcome all policyholders and friends to inspect the newly opened Branch. The Northwest Office will be opened on U Street after the property, recently purchased for cash through a prominent colored real estate dealer, has been remodeled.
These changes will also relieve the congested condition in the Home Office where 96 Clerks are now employed in the various departments. The increased business for the year bids fair to be the largest in the history of the Company. This is one of the strongest. Negro Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies in the world, having more than $20,000,000 insurance in force on the Whole Life, Limited Payment, Endowment and Health and Accident Plans in amounts from $50.00 to $5,000.00. The Company issues over two thousand policies weekly. It has 44 Branch Offices in the ten states over which it spreads its influence. A big programme is being executed in this the Company's (25th) Silver Jubilee Year.
MIGRATION FROM SOUTH DESCRIBED
New York—Clarissa S. Ware, writing in "The Worker," the organ of the Workers Party of America, vividly describes the Negro Exodus from the barbarous South and strongly advises Northern Organized Labor to let down its bars and enlist and accept the Negro on equal terms, declaring that Negro workers have proven themselves staunch union men in the case of the United Mine Workers and in other unions where they have been admitted. The article follows:

FRENCHOBJECT TO AMERICAN PREJUDICE
Tourist Company told to Inform Visitors French Laws Must Be Observed
Paris, July 5—An incident in which four white American tourists refused to make a char-a-banc excursion through Paris because the vehicle contained twelve Negro soldiers is taken up this week in a two-column leading article in the Petit Bleu. The French newspaper demands that tourists agencies insist that their patrons respect the customs of the country in which they are vacationing and tells the American barbarians that France is not the United States where human beings are jim-crowed, insulted and degraded because of their color. "These Americans behaved as vulgar persons," says the Petit Bleu. "Their ridiculous aversion for men of color contains no excuse. They are not at home but in our country, which is an entirely different affair. The protests of these individuals, devoted to white integralism, merited a severe lesson, and it is to be regretted one was not given which would make them see all colors. It is unfortunate that it was not made apparent that a Frenchman, whatever his color, is worth at least any foreign tourist." American visitors to Paris have been for a long time carrying on a campaign of slander and villification against the Negro; and have tried to have people of color barred from many Paris restaurants, theatres and other public places. Failing in this, they have opened up "American" cafes from which Negroes are barred. It was in one of these "American" cafes that "Battling" Siki knocked half a dozen Americans stiff for refusing to serve himself and a white woman guest.
live chickens and pigs in sacks thrown over their shoulders, a race is moving out of bondage to the soil in the South into the industrial bondage of the North.
"During the last six months a stream of over 100,000 Negroes has flowed from the old plantation into the industrial centers, into the mines, mills, and factories.
"South Carolina reports that over 50,000 have migrated from 41 counties alone, that each county has lost an average of over 1,000 farm workers and that over 400 farms on an average have been abandoned.

Dr. Kenney Forced To Leave Tuskegee So Says Report
A report that Dr. John A. Kenney, Surgeon-in-chief at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, was forced to leave that institution, was widely circulated here last week.
According to the report, Dr. Kenney, who is one of the officials of the National Negro Medical Association and Editor of the association's official journal, was invited to a meeting by the white people to listen to their speeches. Dr. Kenney, when called on to say something, refuted many of the statements made. Because he did not fall in line with the sentiment of the whites, he was asked to retract his statements. This, it is claimed, he refused to do, which greatly angered the whites.
After the meeting adjourned, threats of violence against Dr. Kenney were made. Next day the situation became so tense, that Dr. Kenney was advised by a close white friend to leave at once. This he did.
Dr. Kenney is now in Washington, but no confirmation of this story could be had. However, it is reliably stated from other quarters that the story is practically true. It is also claimed that Major Moton, who is now in the East somewhere, is remaining away from Tuskegee because of fear. Dr. Moton has been away now for some time.
SEARCHLIGHT TURNED ON ALABAMA PRISONS
(Crusader Service)
Birmingham, Ala.—Out of every eighty convicts sent to work in the privately owned coal mines of Alabama one man loses his life each year. To one out of every eighty men sentenced to prison terms in this State the words spoken by the judge are equivalent to: "I sentence you to death in the mines." For peonage still exists in Alabama and convicts are farmed out by the thousand to grasping, blood-sucking capitalists. Alabama is one of the few remaining States in the Union which leases its prisoners out to private companies. The State has about 3,000 prisoners, of whom about 1,400 are leased out to coal companies and about 260 to lumber companies, while the rest are (Continued on page 5)

FIGHT ORDER IN REGISTER OFFICE HURRIEDLY DOWN BY DR. HARRIS
On investigating the segregation order issued verbally last week by Register of the Treasury Speelman, through Dr. Alphonso Harris to the colored employees in his section, The Tribune finds that this order was issued last Thursday as stated. Dr. Harris told the female employees of his section which of the toilets they were to use. Sensing the widespread dissatisfaction, he informed them on Friday morning, that his orders had been misinterpreted; that he did not mean they were to use separate toilets.
A Tribune reporter visited the Register of Treasury building last Friday and found that all the colored employees had been moved into small quarters behind a partition that runs across the entire room from east to west. In these cramped quarters were assembled all the colored workers; notwithstanding the fact that they are doing exactly the same kind of work as the white workers.
However since the publication of the article in The Tribune last week, the partition which separates the colored room from the white, has been moved forward a bit and a smaller partition torn down, so as to make more room for the jim crow section. This evidently was done in order to appease those who were complaining. Meanwhile, the toilet segregation order has been temporarily withdrawn possibly to wait until the present dissatisfaction quiets down.
TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL MAY BE GIVEN TO WHITES
Tuskegee, Ala. July 5—Possibility that the government hospital erected here for disabled Colored war veterans might be turned into a sanitarium for white veterans was expressed by Director Frank E. Hines, of the war veterans bureau, in a conference between Director Hines, the faculty and trustees of Tuskegee Normal Institute here Thursday, it was stated by one of the white trustees. Director Hines made announcement as to what took place at the conference, which was held at the normal school.
Meeting with a delegation of Tuskegee citizens at the country courthouse this afternoon, because of their protest against sending a full Negro personnel to take charge of the hospital, Director Hines assured them that no Negroes would be assigned here for duty until after he had conferred with a special committee of three Tuskegee citizens, and added: "I will be no party to anything that will bring about trouble here between the white people and Negroes.

‘The day was cold, and the clouds were
gray,
When my dear, dear, girl went way.
I wept and sobbed when she left me,
But she seemed so very gay.
And just before she started on her,
journey so far away,
She whispered to me these words,
Which seemed to me dismay.
My lover dear, I’m going away,
But I’m not going to stay.
|But the dear “Old Southland” calls

And dear old Mother so gray.
|B I will not forget you,
Through my long lonesome hours,
| But I must return to-day,
|To the land of sunshine and flowers.
I sit and think, and yearn, and grieve,
| And as I think of the could be’s.
|The best pal I ever had,
| Who seemed so sweet and dear to me.
|She seemed even sweeter,
|The day she was about to leave.
But I sit, wonder, and grieve,

Seeds cast to a whirlwind will give you “distribution”—but that’s no way to grow a crop. ;
Plant your advertising seeds in abundant, concentrated local circulation—the newspapers that go to and are read in ’
homes—and you reap an abundant harvest. ae
The newspaper that has effective concentrated local circulation has it because it enjoys reader-confidence and reader- &%
interest. It has local INFLUENCE and STANDING. Influence and standing constitute the fulerum of which advertising &
is the lever. And a fulerum must be LOCAL—close to the object to be moved—or it is nothing. Try it on your next “lift” #3
and gee. :
The nearly 6,000 weekly circulation of The Washington Tribune—essentially a home circulation—concentrated 99 ti
per cent fii Washington and its suburbs is, perhaps, the nearest approach to complete weekly newspaper “saturation” at- 7
tained in any of the great single markets of the world. ¢
‘That advertisers recognize and profit by this unusual condition is attested by the consequent fact that, year in and &
year out, the volume of advertising printed in The Washington Tribune is repeated, @
The Washington Tribune’s readers want everything any other patriotic group of Americans want. They have money a
to spend and they spend it with local merchants. Their wants include everything the merchant has on his shelf. Ef you a
want.to sell to these people, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE is the only medium you need. iu

Split Double Header
July 4—Before the largest crowd that ever attended a Colored ball game here, the Potomacs divided a double header with the Harrisburg Giants, taking the first game 14 to 8 and dropping the nightcap 12 to 9. The Potomacs tallied in every inning of the first game. In the second game the Harrisburgers brought a victory over in the ninth. After the locals had tied things up in the sixth and tallied in the eighth, Ross seemed sure of a victory—but luck was against him.

HAVANA RED SOX
Pop Watkin's Havana Red Sox will make their initial bow to local fans today (Saturday) at the American League Park opposing the Potomacs in the first of a two-game series.
The Red Sox hail from Wartertown, New York and is one of the oldest and best known Colored professional aggregatinos in the country. The game will be called on Saturday at 4 o'clock and on Sunday at 3:30.
The Potomacs gave the fans plenty of high class ball during the Harris-
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923
burg series, by taking three out of four. The locals have the edge for the season on the Giants with five wins and four defeats. The Potomacs will take the road after the Red Sox series. The team being scheduled for a three-game series with the Hilldale club leaders in the Eastern League on July 11, 12, 14. A jump will be made to Camden, N. J., on July 13th. The Harrisburg Giants will return here for a single game at American League park July 15th.
Trailing the Potomacs
Trailing the Potomacs
Manager Taylor has been suffering with a "charley horse" for a week. Although hardly able to move around has stayed in the game.
Bullet Campbell has been let out by the Potomacs hails from Boston.
Leffy Smith was given another trial Wednesday but failed to last two innings.
Owens, the Potomacs' new infielder, has been playing on the strong Dayton, Ohio club this season. He is a former Indianapolis player. While his first appearance here was not so auspicious he will make a better showing next time out.
Goodrich has improved 100 per cent since his first appearance here. His fielding, batting and speed on the sacks has evoked much favorable comment.
In the spring of 1922 Clark was considered about the best southpaw in college ranks. Last spring he could not last a full game against any of the college nines. Yet aside from his performance of blanking Harrisburgh he twirled five victories for the Baltimore Black Sox before Taylor got him.
It took just three hours to play the first game on the afternoon of the fourth.
Umpire Danny Desport set a precedent here by sending Wicks to the showers for using profane language. Henry was chased from the coaching line by Umpire Spencer. Such a policy kept up will eliminate so much argument during games.

Eastern Colored League Heads Meet in Philadelphia
The first meeting since the league season got under way by the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs, was held at the Y. M. C. A., with the following representatives: Commissioners, Nat C. Strong of the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Thomas Jackson of the Bacharach Giants, James J. Keenan of the Lincoln Giants, Alexander Pompex of the Cuban Stars, Charles P. Spadden of the Baltimore Black Sox and Edward Bolden of the Hilldale Club.
All of the club owners expressed in enthusiastic terms the manner in which their respective cities have received the infant venture into organized ball and report a marked increase in attendance, due to interest in the pennant race. Among the important business straightened out by the moguls, was the equalizing of the schedule. The Brooklyn Royal Giants and the Cubans and the Barachar Giants have not played near as many games as the rest of the teams, but the adjustment in the schedule will
give these clubs many more league contests thus balancing the schedule. Arrangements have been made for other league clubs to play at Baltimore on Sundays the days that the Black Sox are playing away, this will insure the patrons of Maryland Park the same high class brand of ball that the patrons are accustomed to. The Bacharach Giants and Cuban Stars will be the attraction July 8th, and the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Cuban home of the Sox, September 9th. On Stars are slated to mix matters at the both of the aforementioned dates the Black Sox will be battling the Lincoln Giants in New York.

HILLDALE OUTHIT, BUT WINS
Darby, Penna., June 30th—The big bats of John Henry Lloyd and "Big Mackey" were responsible for another victory for Hilldale, when they collaborated in the ninth inning after two men were out and by two hits, gave Hilldale a 2 to 1 victory over the Lincoln Giants in an Eastern Colored League game here today. George Johnson the fleet center fielder of the Hilldale Club probably saved the game for his team when he made a sensational one hand catch of a liner from the bat of Singer in the ninth inning, falling as he clutched the ball.
Ryan on the mound for Hilldale, yielded nine hits, but the only run the Lincoln's got, was a home run by Singer over the left field fence in the second inning. The classy infield of Hilldale reeled off three double plays on the Lincoln's when they were most needed. The Lincolnns also horned in with two double plays.

Fiery Cross Heads Protest Parade
(Continued from page 1) felony committed on these grounds must go to the federal courts for trial. Therefore, the government is responsible for the safety of the soldier patients, as well as the administrative personnel it will send there. The government must protect them even if it is necessary to call out the army. So, the implied threats, which was the object of the paraders, points to the government the necessity of maintaining a rigid and fixed policy in this matter.
If the Ku Klux Klan is in the least way given any encouragement, or its fight is in any way endorsed, it will set a precedent that will eventually mean that the Klan's Invisible Empire will dominate the American government. The Klan's defiance at the government (because that is really what the parade was for) should be squarely met. It is but the veil behind which the lawless southern whites hide when their will is not carried out, whether it is right or wrong. It is the Klan's mask he wears when the deed he is to commit is so dastardly that his own conscience forbades him doing it with an exposed face.
This is the first time since the reincarnation of the Klan by William J. Simmons a few years ago, that an issue involving the government and the Klan has been so squarely drawn. Naturally the question arises will the Klan or the government triumph? Director Hine's report which he will make public when he completes his investigation, will no doubt indicate which way the battle will go.

THEATRE NOTES
The announcement that "Masters of Men," the great picture, adapted by C. Graham Baker from Morgan Robertson's masterpiece, will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre next Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, has brought numerous letters of congratulations to Manager Chas. E. Lane, jr., for booking this special feature. Critics have praised "Masters of Men" as the most realistic motion picture ever screened.
"PERFECT SCREEN LOVERS"
"SHADOWED DYNAMY PLAY
Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien will again be seen together in "The Voice From the Minaret," a First National picture which is coming to the Broadway Theatre on Monday. These two have won the appellation of "the perfect screen lovers," and motion picture fans everywhere have hailed with delight the news that they would once more be able to see O'Brien cast as leading man to Miss Talmadge.
In "The Voice From the Minaret," which was directed by Frank Lloyd from Robert Hichens' novel, the star plays the part of Lady Adrienne, wife of the governor of Bombay, while O'Brien has the role of Andrew Fabin, an Englishsman who makes a trip to the Holy Land for the purpose of study, and finds love on the sands of the desert.
"The Voice From the Minaret" is declared to be the best picture in which Miss Talmadge has ever appeared.

JUNIOR "Y" WINS
In a well-played game on the Monument Lot Monday the Brightwood juniors lost to the fast junior Y. M. C. A. nine 12 to 7. Armstrong, Barret, Covington and Hicks were the out standing performers.

HOLLY
The recent untimely death of Tom Holly means the passing of the dean of local umpires. Holly during his early career was a local sandlot player above the average ability. Later he took up the arbitrator's duties behind the plate and on the baseline and in short order gained the respect of the players and spectators through his fairness and ability.
Although Holly had been in retirement from the national pastime for a number of years, the game has lost one of its greatest personalities thru his death.

The Arlington Athletics, led the Gladiators into camp on the short end of a 6 to 4 count in a well played game on the Athletic's field. Walker let the Washington boys down with five hits and walked two men while the Athletics were collecting an even dozen hits off a couple of the Gladiators' ball tossers. Snow started for the A's but was taken out after he had pitched to four batters in the first frame, the Gladiators showed plenty of fight as this makes the fifth game in the last three seasons of which the G's have won only one.
Legon who replaced Mason on the mound did a nice job of turning back the A's. Mason had six strike-outs to his credit and Legon added three more while Walker of the A's had fifteen. A. Pollard led the attacks with the bat for the A's with three hits, one a two bagger, out of four times up.
MIGRATION FROM SOUTH DESCRIBED
(Continued from page 1)
ed on the Negro to stick to his hoe. "Two or three months ago labor recruiting agents coming from the steel mills of Pittsburgh and Ohio appeared and signed up the Negro farm hands for free rides to the 12-hour day and the industrial slavery of the non-union mines and mills. "Today Alabama has lost $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of its total Negro farm population. In Georgia the conditions are even more extreme. More than 32,000 farm hands or over 13 per cent of the total Negro farm labor of the State have "moved North." They have left their crops planted in the ground, their shack doors idly banging to and fro, to seek freedom, high wages and a steady job in the promised land of the North.
"They are passing thru Chattanooga, Tennessee, in gangs of 500 each in charge of the Northern Industrial Labor Agents. In Jackson, Mississippi, groups of three and four hundred are starting on the same journey.
The Exodus from Egypt
"The exodus from Egypt is on. The whole vicious system of peonage share cropping and tenantry which have enslaved the Negro to the field boss, landlord and plantation owner—the white man's law courts and mob rule—the lynchings—the utter mockery of all legal and political rights, these coupled with the short cotton crop of the last two years have prepared a fertile field for the labor recruiting agents. Except for the wartime exodus of 500,000 nothing like the present migration has occurred. Today the Negro migrant is answering the call of the Steel mills for cheap labor. Some time ago Babson advised northern employers to go South and bring Negro laborers.
"The Negro farmer of the South has never been beyond the limits of the nearby village. The woods, mine, mill or factory mean little or nothing to him. He does not know what a
By Watson
union is and he has never heard the word scab. Because of his illiteracy, because of his utter ignorance of the conditions of modern industry he offers a source of unorganized labor, which is being exploited to an extent comparable only to the extent to which the foreign workers are exploited and oppressed. Labor agents are traveling thru the Southern States offering free rides to an easy job, with high wages and short hours and a people so long in bondage to cotton are throwing off the yoke of serfdom and taking their free rides to enter bondage to Steel.
"And from Atlanta comes the definite statement by Connors of the Negro Welfare Association:
"They are leaving Atlanta for the North by the car load and are going to the steel mills of Pennsylvania and Ohio"!
Cotton is No Longer King
"Cotton is King no longer. It has abdicated to Steel. The development of American Imperialism has reached the stage where the investment of capital in other lands is calling for th reproduction of steel, stesl and ever more steel. And the Negro laborer is laying aside his hoe and answering the call of the Steel King for new recruits to his army of twelve-hour day slaves.
"Many times the Negro Worker has been misunderstood by his white brother. Many*times Negroes have been blamed for scabbing when the very union on strike had refused membership to Negro Workers. The race riots, engineered by the employers in their efforts to keep the ranks of labor divided, have often left bitterness and antagonism between the Negro and white workers. But as in the United Mine Workers of America, the Negroes have been organized and have proven themselves staunch union men, so in other unions, the realizabor and the unity of interest of allion of the need for solidarity of la-workers is developing apace."

kept in the prisons at Speigner, Kilby and Wetumpka. Needless to say, most of the prisoners leased out are colored convicts, many of whom have been picked up on the most trivial charges and given harsh sentences in Alabama's courts of "justice." The net profit to the State from the convicts thus farmed out during 1919, to 1922 averaged $845,000 a year. The net profit for the current year will be, it is estimated, about $870,000. Gooded to Limit.
"Though the convict is nominally under the supervision of a Warden employed by the State," says an opponent of the system, "as soon as he begins his work each day he is turned over to the guards employed by the mine, and from them goes to the 'check runner' a convict trusty, who is held responsible for the work done." It has also been brought out that while the lash has been abolished by executive order in 1919, wooden clubs, metal pipes and other weapons have been substituted. The worst punishment of all, however, is the "doghouse"—a coffin-like box or enclosure, so small that a man cannot move inside it, in which convicts are fastened by their hands, their feet scarely touching the floor.
One prisoner, investigators were told, was suspended in the "doghouse" for having defied a guard and kept there so many hours that his flesh puffed through the laces and eyelets of his shoes, the shoes having to be cut away before they could be taken from his feet.
Victims Fill Hospital
But it is within the hospital of Kilby Prison that one sees the final class of Alabama's convict slaves.
This class is made up of convicts who have gone to the mines and who can never work again. Unfortunate? Well, that's a question. Because the loss of a foot or a hand, tuberculosis or a general breakdown means that the prisoner goes to the hospital—and has escaped the mines. And prisoners look on this as well worth the price.
These are the survivors of the mines. But many never survive.

The parade of the Ku Klux Klan Tuesday night, thru the grounds of Tuskegee Institute and the Government Hospital, places the issue squarely up to the National Government as to who shall rule its property—the invisible empire of the Klan or the War Department, thru its Veteran's Bureau.
It is reported that the parade was to have been last week, but when the Klan was informed that Director Hines was to visit Tuskegee, they reserved the parade for his observation and as a protest to his visit.
The thing for the War Department to do is to send a Battalion of the 24th Infantry, with their machine gun equipment to guard the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee and that will settle the argument. The Ku Klux Klan will not make any more demonstrations by parading thru those grounds. The War Department is in duty bound to protect its maimed and crippled wherever they may be. The Hospital is Government property and the men to be sent there are those that received their illness in line of duty and it is squarely up to the Government to protect them from the Klan.
Alabama has a white population of 1,447,932 and 900,652 colored. During the world war, Alabama sent 36,172 Negro soldiers to war and only 25,674 white soldiers. Of course the Klan does not tabulate any facts.
The Government has made a mistake in placing the Hospital at Tuskegee but it must stand by its mistake and protect its property. Shall it be the K. K. K. or the U. S. at the Tuskegee Hospital?
Why the White South is Protesting
(Continued from page 4)
These same southerners who are now protesting about Negro physicians at this hospital, were the ones who protested against the placing of Negro troops in combatant divisions. They were afraid lest the Negro be taught how to defend himself. So, it is but natural that these same people are now protesting against the placing of Negro officers in charge of a purely Negro hospital.
Another objection is economic
Another objection is economic Because the South spends so much of its time in trying to keep the Negro in his "place," its people are among the poorest in America. The South came out of debt for the first time in its history during the late war and this was mainly because so many of the war camps were located in that section. So, having had a taste for Government contracts and salaries, it is but natural that the whites are today fighting tooth and nail for the few jobs and concessions at this colored hospital; even if they do have to about face and momentarily throw their longed cherished traditions to the wind and embrace the very soldiers they so bitterly fought during the war. In loving and being willing now to serve these very same soldiers, the southerners see the possibility of getting several nice jobs in the hospital and the contract of supplying the hospital with milk, butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables and etc.
South is Jealous
These southerners are jealous of the positions and contracts at this hospital. Have they not already figured out who was to get these positions and contracts? Take the case of the giving to a white undertaker of Greenville, South Carolina, the contract to bury those who may die at the hospital. In the South, where white undertakers refuse to bury Negroes, we find them now fighting to get that privilege. But thanks to the government, this contracts was recalled and it was subsequently given to a colored undertaker of Macon, Georgia.
However, there are still other contracts we understand that have been let by those now temporarily in charge of the hospital to the white farmers without even giving the Negro farmers in that vicinity a chance to bid on them. Some of these contracts are for the supplying of vegetables, poultry and other farm products. Therefore, the South is fighting to retain these advantages which they know if justice was done, they could not possibly keep.
In order to win sympathy for his cause, Senator Powell, in his news release, resorts to all kinds of trickery and misstatements of facts and openly threatens trouble if Negroes are placed in charge.
After asking the question "What will be the end?" Powell answers it as follows:
"No one can now definitely forsee the end. Where peace and harmony

once reigned supreme, rumors of strife, open threats and impending friction are present. Here, where a peaceful little town, with splendid law-abiding citizenship had lived in harmony and peace with their black skin brothers and had watched and assisted in the growth and development of the greatest institution of its kind in the world, has come a factor that will undermine the foundation of that harmony and peace and start the beginning of race friction that can only end in injury to people and destruction to property.
"To deprive the white man of control and operation of the hospital which is absolutely essential to the preservation of our friendly race relations, and thus to endanger our town, endanger the people and property of Tuskegee Institute, and make this community a place to shun, rather than to seek, is wholly unwarranted and an outrage on the rights and honest claims of our people.
"If trouble comes, which all of us hope will not be the case, then the responsibility will have to be placed where it belongs. " (Signed)
With this bold and threatening statement over Powell's name, the hand of the southern mob is thrust into the equation. This is another example of the southerner's methods to either rule or ruin.
Will this threat force the government to back down or will the government carry out its expressed policy of placing Negroes in charge and then protect them with all its power like it should?
It is alleged that Powell is one of the high officers in the Tuskegee Klan. Since the protest parade of the Klan last Tuesday night, this statement is greatly substantiated. So the issue becomes a clear cut one between the government and the Ku Klux Klan; the law and the lawless.
Not Love, but Hatred is Dominant Factor
The South wants control of this government hospital not because it wants to serve the Negro soldier; not because it loves him or even desires to see him get the proper treatment, but simply because the South hates the Negro and sees in this hospital another instrument with which to further handicap his progress.
The South says the Negro must not be given any kind of opportunity to do big things and this hospital, in their minds, is too big for him to man; therefore, it must go to white men; not because the white men deserve it; not because they really want it, but simply because they don't want Negroes to have it.
Powell in his whole article could give no logical reason as to why Negroes should not be appointed. His entire argument is simply a prejudicial one and does not contain one fact in support of his contention. It is a typical southern statement; rambling and indefinite.
Meanwhile, Director Hines, head of the Veteran's Bureau, is now in Tuskegee facing the opposition so he says, and is expected back in Washington soon. His report will no doubt be in the nature of a recommendation and will indicate which course the government will take in the matter.

Community Center Band
The summer schedule of bands for park concerts in the city has been officially announced in the daily press and again includes our Community Center Band, James E. Miller, director. It is the only colored band listed and there is pride in the fact.
This band deserves far more credit for its work than most of us are wont to give it. We remember well when Mr. Miller started organizing this band with a handful of men. He experienced some difficulty (as with all newly organized bodies) in keeping his men together and carrying on rehearsals regularly and promptly.
Some would and others would not follow his leadership at first but after seeing how successfully he was carrying on his work the bickerings soon stopped and then a good band was welded in the making. How well it has succeeded we have but to note its splendid record in nearly every public outdoor affair of large character.

It requires energy, foresight and ability to build u pa really good band; and patience is a mighty big factor in ability to build up a really good band; but little do we realize the ardous practice, time consumed and energy expended in producing that music which we so thoroughly enjoy in tranquil ease and without any personal expense whatever.
The Community Center Band deserves its well earned success and we believe that our colored citizens appreciate it accordingly. Certainly they will turn out in large numbers together with our white neighbors to 'listen to the band' 'at the park concerts and enjoy the tasty programs of classic and jazz, if you please.

THE TREASURE HOUSE OF
NEGRO MUSIC
Says a writer in the Billboard;
"Negro Music means to many people only the Negro spiritual and plantation songs which have grown out of the life of the race and which, with Indian themes form most of America's folk-music. The wealth of music that has been written during the last fifteen years by modern Negro composers is not appreciated in the fullest. This music is both sacred and secular. Some of it is based on the spirituals, while some of it is in no way expressive of racial feeling or idiom.
"It has an originality and melodic content that make it a distinct contribution to musical art.
"Up to this time no complete and satisfactory compendium of Negro music has been made.
"But now Community Service has prepared a bulletin.' Music composed by Negroes,' which should prove enlightening both to Americans in general who may be unacquainted with treasures contained in the store house of Negro music and to colored who may not be familiar with all the music that their race has produced. This bulletin maybe secured from Community Service 315 Fourth Avenue, New York City, at the nominal price of ten cents, lists the works of Harry T. Burleigh, S. Coleridge-Taylor, Will Narion Cook, R. Nathaniel Dett, Carl R. Diton, J. Rosamond Johnson and Clarence Cameron White. It tells by whom each composition is published and for what voices or instruments each is arranged."

"The artist should be a noble intransmission of glorious thoughts to humanity. Great instruments are not made in factories or by factory methods. We value a Stradivarius violin because it is so exquisitely and wonderfully made. Compare it with a factory-made violin from Germany or Japan. In like manner the artist can not be made by factory (technical) methods alone."

What Kind of Music Appeals Most?
Reader, have you ever given thought to this question? Almost every person likes music of some kind but very few possibly ever stop to think of the class of music that appeals most to one's self. Really, have you ever given it serious thought?
Music is music, to be sure, so cloth it cloth as well, but there are different grades, hues, and textures of cloth. Music may be gay, serious, indifferent, colorful, colorless, white, red or blue.
Here is variety in music: operatic, oratorio, cantata, sacred and secular chorale, civic and symphony orchestral; vocal, piano, violin, organ, string, wind, fretted instruments, negro spirituals, folk song, the band, and jazz.
Every one likes some certain class of music and type of instrument, so decide the question now if you already haven't done so. The fact is that nine out of every ten times you'll go where you may hear just the class of music desired and that makes for happiness, because all music is good that is not bad, and all music is bad that is not good, according to the viewpoint of the hearer.
The man in the prayer meeting believes that the shouting tunes he sings is the best music in the world—so does the theatre patron, the cabaret patron, the concert patron, the artist patron, and the music world trots along merrily just the same as the days go by ever and anon.

TOPEKA KANSAS PAPER ENDORSES N.A.A.C.P. PROTEST
TOPEKA KANSAS PAPER ENDORSES N.A.A.C.P. PROTEST
ka Daily Capital of June 19, 1923, en- An editorial published in the Tope-dorsse a protest by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the showing in Kansas of "The Birth of a Nation" film. Commenting upon the Association's telegram to Governor Davis of Kansas, urging him to prevent the film being shown, the Topeka Daily Capital said:
An Encourager of Race Hatred
"Not only state and local but national action has been taken by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the new attempt to show a vicious Southern race film, 'The Birth of a Nation,' in Kansas. In Governor Capper's and Governor Allen's terms permission to show this picture in the state was refused. When the Association heard of the appeal for an exhibition of the film to Governor Davis it telegraphed the Governor urging that 'you continue the splendid example of former Governors of Kansas in forbidding exhibition of this film, capitalizing and spreading as it does vicious racial prejudices which should have no part in American life.'
"It is difficult to see any purpose to be served by the revived attempt to show this picture. There are no conditions in Kansas warranting it. The picture is biased as history, and sectional in its appeal. It can not claim art as its motive, for propaganda sticks out all over it. Evil can easily come of it in its power of stimulating passion, and this is a sufficient objection against any picture to which it applies. 'The Birth of a Nation' has been kept out of Kansas for reasons as strong today as at any time in the last five years." The Topeka Daily Capital is published by Senator Arthur Capper, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The atmosphere of the small town is admirably caught and presented in Vittagraph's super-feature, "Masters of Men," which will be shown at the Lincoln Theater beginning Sunday. The story, a thrilling drama of life, weaves a pretty love story through it which has for a background a little village. Alice Calhoun and Wanda Hawley play the old-fashioned girls and Earle Williams and Cullen Landis the principal male roles.

At the same time, it should be borne in mind that, though we may concede wide licenses, what is fundamentally needed in Art is not so much rigid literalness, as high purposed seriousness; not stupid indifference, but sympathetic sincerity; not narrow exactness, but broad truth: remembering also, and always, that it demands more and higher courage—and courage guided by intelligence—to show true culture, than to follow convention; to be ungrudgingly just, than to be merely charitable. And, for those who are in real need, it requires even a higher courage, and at least as much intelligence, to rise above expediency and insist on justice, when there is being tendered benevolence backed by good intentions.

My dear Editor:
I intend to go to Atlantic City this summer for three weeks. Mother and I are also going to New York City for a week after visiting Atlantic City.
I have a cousin in New York to whom I send the Tribune. He likes the "Children's Page" very much. He is a member of the children's page of the "Chicago Defender." He told me that there is a book store in New York where all sorts of Negro books can be bought. He is always able to answer the history questions because he has books on Negro history which he bought at this store. Mother has promised to buy me one or two of these books.
I have always wanted to go to New York and now that I am about to go it seems as though the days go so slowly.
I hope you will have a fine vacation. Love to all the Tribunites.

AN OLD GAME
The following game is called "The Blind Postman."
The game of Blind Postman is one especially adapted for a large party. It is played as follows:
The postman is selected by lot, while the postmaster-general either volunteers his services, or he is elected by the company. The person on whom the unwished-for honor of enacting postman falls (it may be either a lady or a gentleman) is blindfolded; the remainder of the company meanwhile seating themselves in a circle.
The number of seats is limited so that there shall be one less than the number of players.
The postmaster-general then writes the names of certain cities and towns on slips of paper, giving one to each persons, so that they may remember by what names they are to answer. (Should there be few players, the names can be given orally.) The postman is
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923
blindfolded and is placed in the center of the seated players and the postmaster-general takes up a position from which he can easily address the entire company.
He commences the game by calling out "New York to Philadelphia" (or any place which he may select). The players bearing the names of New York and of Philadelphia must instantly rise and attempt to exchange seats with each other; while the postman tries to capture one of them before they accomplish the change.
Should he succeed he removes the bandage from his eyes, and takes the seat which his captive has vacated, while the latter is blindfolded and becomes postman in turn, in addition to paying a forfeit.
A forfeit may be the act of hopping from one point to another on one foot; to act in imitation of painting a ceiling or of washing clothes, or giving a kiss, etc.
Forfeits are also incurred by those who do not spring to their feet and endeavor to change seats with the town or city whose name is called in connection with their own. Forfeits are also demanded of those who, in their hurry to be in time, answer when their name has not been called—as when Pittsfield will rise when Pittsburgh is called.
The confusion caused by these blunders places many chances in the postman's favor.
The postmaster-general decrees the forfeits. He may hold his appointment till the end of the game, but if he tires of his honor he may resign.
"And so," concluded the Sunday school teacher, "Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden." "Couldn't Adam drive his own car?" queried the pupil whose dad owned a Rolled Rice.
The Information Bureau
A guest hurried up to the hotel clerk's counter. He had just ten minutes to pay his bill, reach the station and board his train.
"Hang it!" he exclaimed. "I've forgotten something. Here, boy, run up to my room—Number 427—and see if I left my pajamas and shaving kit. Hurry, I've only five minutes now."
The boy hurried. In four minutes he returned, out of breath.
"Yes, sir," he panted. "You left them."
Why should I grieve on a cherry day?

I will suppose that fate is just,

THE HARRIET TUBMAN TABLET
AUBURN, NEW YORK
A bronze tablet in memory of Mrs. Harriet Tubman (Davis) was unveiled in June, 1914, at Auburn, New York. The tablet has been placed conspicuously in the Cayuga County Court House. It was plaid for chiefly by personal contributions, mostly from people in Auburn and vicinity. The woman in whose memory the tablet has been erected had a most eventful career. She was born in slavery in Maryland and escaped by running away when a young woman. After she had secured her freedom.

she took up the work of conducting runaway slaves to Canada, mainly by way of what came to be called the Under Ground Railroad. For that purpose she made trips into slave territory, encountering grave dangers and enduring great privations. When the War made such work no longer necessary, she became a nurse and a spy, rendering valuable service to the Union cause.
It is difficult to view the facial features of this heroine as depicted on this table without wincing at what must be called—putting it very mildly—the bald literalness of the portrayal. In fact, literallness, if it really is that, has here been carried quite beyond the limits of good taste.

By
MORRIS MURRAY
This woman, whose life-history is like a romance and a hero tale combined, lived, it is true, to a great age; but it is probable that for relatively only a short period of her life, were here features as shriveled, mis-shapen, and pitifully distorted, as they are here depicted—if indeed they ever were. If the artist intended to do something "striking," he failed; for what he actually did was merely stupid. (A picture of "Aunt Harriet," as she was affectionally called, evidently from a late photograph, appeared in the "Auburn Citizen" in connection with the account of the unveiling ceremonies. The difference between this "likeness" and the one on the tablet is marked.)

Davis lived so long and where she died, probably had no intention to ridicule her; and it is also probable that, knowing her personal character so well, they can manage to tolerate—for the sake of supposed art and truth—the haggish physiognomy which we see on this tablet.
But many of us who were outside of her personal acquaintance, although we would be pleased to see her work and her sacrifices properly commemorated, yet find it difficult to reconcile such raw realism—if it is indeed realism—with genuine, deep-seated respect.
Art fails of its purpose, if purported realism be pushed to the point where it appears to be inconsiderate or verges on offense; and in no case is it permissible, in the name of art, to do that which is manifestly unbecoming or which will tend to excite ridicule.
The inscription on the tablet, while excellent in the main, yet in part reinforces one's objections to the facial portrayal. One sentence reads: "On my Underground Railroad I nebber run my train off de track and I nebber los' a passenger."
We might as well be frank about it—such honors are too much like "muddles rolled to us in the dust."
In view of what I have said while discussing other works, especially Frenche's group, there will of course be persons—some sincere, some shallow, and some merely hasty—who will accuse me of inconsistency. They will, for instance, claim and believe that my apparent insistence on literalness in the case of "Ethiopia's" representation, should apply to the portrayal of Harriet Tubman. They should, however, notice that, while superficially, fault, in one case, is found with an apparent falling short, and in another case with a pushing too far, of literalness or realism; yet in both cases the essential faults—if they are faults—are the probable reasons which actuated the artists, and additionally in one case, objection lies in the probable consequences of the portrayal. One is a small error of omission, from mistaken purpose; the other a large error of commission, from stupidity or misdirected zeal: but neither offsets nor justifies the other.
I have insisted on frankness. Even

THE LITTLE QUEEN
Study the picture above and then write a letter telling what you think it is all about.
Do you think that the Little Queen is kind or mean; pretty or ugly; happy or unhappy?
Are the men her captors or her friends. Perhaps one is her father—so; but frankness, or its imitation, may be abused. Even genuine frankness has its limitations. Jesus, when admonishing the Woman of Samaria, did not use the same sort or degree of frankness that Paul used in denouncing the licentiousness of his day. Let us not deceive ourselves nor be deceived. Let us not be disconcerted by the accusation of inconsistency, which is sure to be made; for, as Emerson has said, "inconsistency is a bughear of little minds."

Prudentia Will be Second Institution of Rapidly Grow
Monday, July 23rd, has been definitely set as the day for the official opening of The Prudential Bank, in its own building on Florida Avenue, near 8th Street, Northwest. Various set-backs in the construction of the building have delayed the opening of the bank from April first.
The Prudential Bank has an authorized capital of $200,000. It has met all of the requirements of the Comptroller of Currency and has been given its certificate authorizing it to do business in the District of Columbia under the supervision of the U. S. Government. This gives U Street another financial institution.
The officers of The Prudential are: John R. Hawkins, president; Dr. A. M. Curtis, vice president; Thomas Walker, second vice president; Dr. P. W. Price, treasurer, and C. W. Banton, secretary. Mr. Banton is also to be the cashier The Prudential will do both a commercial and savings business. Mr. Banton said, "We have decided that the success of our bank will be obtained because of the service we shall render. We are instituting a savings system that will take care of the dimes of the children with a card system, in addition to our home banks,
DISCHARGES EMPLOYEE WHO OBJECTS TO COURTESY TO COLORED MAN
No better example of the change in front of the white business world could be given than the case of Mr. Crump of the Federal ousing and Realty corporation who discharged one of his white employees this week because the employee objected to the fact that Mr. Crump had shown courtesy to one of Mr. Crump's colored salesmen.
Paul D. Scott, sales manager for the Federal company was in the office of Mr. Crump by appointment along with several other members of the sales force, all white. When five o'clock struck, Mr. Crump announced that office hours were at an end and extended the courtesies of his office to all present, including, Mr. Scott. The whole group spent an hour or more in relaxation and informal talking before their departure.
Mr. Crump was surprised, when one of his employees, a Mr. Blakeley, objected to the manner in which he had included Mr. Scott in the social and informal hour after office hours, and at once discharged Mr. Blakeley from all connection with the Federal Company.
Mr. Crump announces himself as an American for Americans and knows no distinction by reason of a man's color.
SUPREME LIFE COMPANY
The Second Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company will be held at the Home Office of the Company at Columbus, Ohio, July 18th. A program has been arranged in connection with this meeting which includes several

memorializing Frederick Douglass. We are prepared to handle a large commercial business and will have all of the modern machinery for an up-to-date bank. Monthly statements will be issued if desired. Our staff will be the best obtainable for efficient service." Mr. Banton was formerly in the department of Indian Affairs. He took his business course at Temple University, Philadelphia. He has been a resident of the District for a number of years. As cashier of the Prudential he is stepping into a merited position for he has worked long and faithfully in the promotion of the business in the role of the stock
bank and in the sale of the stock.
Prof. John R. Hawkins, the President, as financial secretary of the great A. M. E. Church, has made record and history, not only for the church, and himself, but for the race. His position as president is a merited one and the people have the greatest appreciation for his financial ability, and they have confidence in his integrity.
With colors flying, and hopes for the strongest financial institution in the district among the race, The Prudential Bank will open its doors prepared to give unexcelled service.
instructive meetings for the agents of the Company and a meeting of the Directors on July 12th.
Officers of the Company include T. K. Gibson, president; A. Bentley, Secretary and Harry H. Pace, chairman of the Board of Directors. Members of the directorate include prominent business and professional men from the South as well as North. The company is at present operating in the States of Ohio, West Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia. In addition to the usual forms of life and endowment policies for which the legal reserve has to be maintained, the Company issues a casualty policy which is meeting with very favorable attention throughout its territory.
Particular interest is attached to the meeting this year since this will be the occasion for the announcement of the proposed progress of the Company relative to the large population of Negroes in the Northern cities as result of the exodus from the South. Business for the first half of the year throughout the Company's territory has been considerably affected by the advent of southern people to the states of Ohio, West Virginia, and elsewhere in the North.

VIRGINIA DOCTORS IN CONVENTION URGE STUDY OF TUBERCULOSIS AND NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Bucklee Beach, Va., June 30.—The Old Dominion State Medical Society has just ended its three day session at the famous Bucklee Beach, Virginia, resort. The attendance for nearly one hundred M. D.'s from all parts of the state was the largest ever registered.
The scientific papers read by T. H. Amos, M. D., of Emporia; J. H. Robinson, M. D., of Newport News; J. D. Williams, M. D., of Manassas, and the illustrated lecture by Dr. Renaiger, Specialist, of Norfolk, were all on Gastro-intestinal diseases, which conditions are especially prevalent during this season of the year, and which are largely responsible for the high death rate among little children. The consensus of opinion was that scant clothing, plenty of fresh air, extreme care in feeding and early consultation with the family physician will greatly assist in bringing this menace under control. Major Allen Washington, Dr. I. A. Jackson, Dr. D. W. Byrd and Dr. Alexander, secretary of the National Medical Association, and member of the New Jersey legislature, were the speakers at Public Health meeting held in the beautiful new Ogden Auditorium on the Hampton Institute grounds. The Clinics were held at Whittaker Hospital, Newport News, Virginia.
Among the social features were a smoker at the Community Center, Hampton and an Auto Outing to Camp Custis and historic Yorktown.
The call of the new Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee for ten Specialists in tuberculosis and ten in nervous diseases emphasized the necessity of having especially trained men along those particular lines. So the Society went on record as urging the admission of race men as Internes in the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Burkeville, Va., as well as in the Central State Hospital at Petersburg, for nervous diseases and insanity.
The officers of the Society are: G. H. Francis, M. D., retiring president; P. G. Dabney, M. D., president; L. C. Downing, M. D., president-elect; A. L. Winslow, M. D., 1st vice president; I. Rhone, M. D., 2nd vice president; J. H. Blackwell, Jr., M. D., secretary; J. W. Pierce, M. D., Rec. secretary; A. B. Green, M. D., treasurer; I. A. Jackson, M. D., editor of journal.
MORE BRICKLAYERS RE
QUESTED.
(By The Union Press.)
New York, July 1.—The recent agreement granted the striking union bricklayers by the mason builders association of New York granting $1.50 per hour or $12.00 per day did not solve the building problem of this city, with construction of a half billion dollars underway. A letter embodying the views of the public group of the building industry states as follows:
The agreement does not increase the number of men available nor increase the production of men, nor decrease the cost, nor contribute to the stabilization of the industry, all of which our committee stated to you as being essential requirements if any relief from the present difficulty is to be secured for the public.
The public group suggests that employers, bricklayers and the other trades give adherence and support to the apprenticeship commission of the New York Building Congress so that the necessary number of tradesmen can be trained for immediate service. It is suggested by this body that a plan be enacted whereby bricklayers and other mechanics may be employed and permitted to work on all jobs in New York upon evidence of their ability to do the work, no matter where they
are trained.
Hundreds of Negroes, mostly from South Carolina, are carrying union cards and employed as bricklayers on constructions in this city. As thousands of men are wanted in the building trades, it is hoped that more Negroes will quality.
STATION OF UNDERGROUND
SLAVE-RUNNIN ROAD
BURNS IN INDIANA
Petersburg, Ind., June 30.—Another station of one of the most famous institutions that ever reached into Indiana—the underground railroad for running slaves into the northern states—has passed. Fire recently destroyed the landmark.
The house, located in this vicinity, caught fire because of a defective flue. It originally was owned by John Posey, father of Frank Posey, representative in Congress, and was the home of the Posey family in the days preceding the Civil War. Many escaped slaves were hidden in its secret cellar and tunnel and assisted in getting to Canada, according to old-time residents.
The residence stood on a high bluff along White River, commanding a view of surrounding country for many miles. It contained secret closets, secret cellars, and in the war period a secret tunnel led to the river.
The withering pace of our modern life; the unbridled excesses in which thousands are indulging; the shams and the whims and foibles of men and women in all stations of life are belabored with shattering blows by Daniel Carson Goodman's powerfully prophetic and significant photodrama, "Has the World Gone Mad!" announced for exhibition at the Broadway Theater on July 12, 13 and 14.
From Mother Eve clear down to the luxurious Peggy Hopkins, women have held their own in the battle of sex with men, but in the fighting both sides have erred and erred oiten. Today the world is traveling at a terrific pace in its social life. In our own country the front pages of a hundred newspapers blaze with the fires of mad passions that result in murder and divorce and what not. Petting parties and soul-kissing trysts occupy the minds of the once-decorous young. No youth is without his pocket whisky flask; no girl without her gold-tipped cigarettes or jeweled pipe.
Mothers at forty undergo the tortures of face lifting and reduce themselves in flesh to the point of exhaustion. Others apply the lipstick and the glowing tints of rouge, and then sally forth to tempt the male in illicit romances. Husbands are no less indiscreet.
How long can we play the game?
How long can this helter-skelter,
high-powdered era of jazz and luxury
and wine and song go on?
