THE WISCONSIN VOL. III. Director of Department of Labor Visits Southern States. Washington, D. C., June 28—(Special) The Blade—Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics of the Department of Labor, has just returned from an extended trip into several states where he met in conference and interviews at different points in each state a number of representative white and colored men and women, to discuss with them the plans o the Department for improving local labor conditions. The Director visited points in Virginia, North, Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. He is also in correspondence with persons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois for the purpose of similar visits to those states. The purpose of these first visits is to get the advice and solicit the help of persons of both races in each State in carrying out a cooperative program to take practical constructive steps for enlisting all in a campaign to mobilize Negro workers for more strenuous labor to win the war. Due consideration, of course, is given to improving the conditions of Negro workers along all lines and to encourage all who labor. Briefly stated, the plan is to secure in each locality cooperating committees of white and colored citizens composed of the strongest men and women of both races to work out plans and methods of adjusting local labor problems, in the interest of both employers and employees. When interviewed by a representative of the press, Dr. Haynes said: "In all parts of the country now, representative white and colored people are feeling that this is the time to pool their efforts and pull together. In my work of previous years I have found in almost every locality some white and colored citizens who were responsive to a practical program of work to meet the needs of their country." "The various betterment and civic organizations that the colored people have organized have shown such activity along many lines to improve local conditions and race relations." "On the basis of such experience, the Department of Iabor is building its plans for meeting local labor situations that are affecting the Negro and his employers in various parts of the country. Already, the Department is meeting with gratifying cooperation of both white and colored people in various counties towns, and cities." "Just as in all the Nation's past wars, the Negro is ready to do his share of the fighting in the trenches and dying on the field of battle. No less zealous has he been in doing the work to raise food and make supplies for our Allies and our men at the front. The Negro workman needs to be told, in ways to make it clear, that his toil of all kinds is appreciated and $f value in winning this war. He needs to have it made plain to him that victory in this war will bring rewards of democracy to him. If this is done, Charles Knight's example in breaking the world's riveting record will be repeated in many other occupations." "There are two kinds of people in our country at this time: those who do and those who don't. We plan to enlist every Negro in the country in the ranks of those who do."

One part of the article read as follows: "But the southern negro. He just rolls down the street! His eyes roll, his hips roll, his head rolls! He shuffles along happily whistling or smiling or gazing with interest on all sides of him. He doesn't know where he is going particularly, and what's more he doesn't care. When wealth has favored him, he dons the most varigated costume the city affords—a mouse-colored derby, high stiff collar, broad-striped shirt, checked suit, brilliant socks and tan shoes—and, of course, a cane. If he hasn't any money he will be wearing the most raggedy, fantastic nondescript costume." The protest, signed by Dr. Thomas A. Boger, the Rev. E. W. Thomas and Attorney J. G. Thurman says in part: "We are under the impression that your statements have hurt, and held the colored people of Milwaukee up to ridicule. We think it safe to say that even the majority of the colored people so-called, fresh from the south, know where they intend to go when they leave their home in the morning, or at any other time. The class of colored people so minutely described in said issue of your paper is rather a disgrace to any community, and is bound to be a hindrance to our social system generally. "Our careful investigation of the condition of the colored newcomers from 'Dixie' is that the majority of them have brought their families with them and came in our midst prepared to make good. There was a time when ambitious vaudeville actors would have received your article with open arms, but they now have cast aside the type of colored people pictured by you, and are using instead colored people of advanced ideas even in their comedy."

M'GREW TO HEAD NEGRO REGIMENT AT CAMP GRANT White Officers Will Be In Command of the New Organization Camp Grant, Rockord, Ill., June 27.—Col. Milton McGrew, one of Camp Grant's veteran regular army officers, was today appointed to organize and command the new regiment of Negro soldiers which is to be the only Negro fighting unit in the cantonment for the remainder of the training period. As camp instructor and in other executive capacities Col. McGrew has won a success with the national army which bears out the high standard of his regular army service, and he is considered the best men for the important organization work here. Three thousand Negroes from Mississippi have arrived safely in the last selective contingent, and the best men among them will be chosen for the new inantry regiment, which will continue as a unit through the remaining period of the war. Other Negroes from the south not up to line standard will be placed in labor and development battalions here or held to recruit labor battalions elsewhere. WEEKLY BLADE :: (Special to Blade) NEGROES MAY GO TO SANATORIUM Whites and Colored to Get Similar Treatment for Tuberculosis Special) The Blade—Negro tubercular patients henceforth are to be admitted to the Wales sanatorium at Statesan, Wis., on the same basis as whites, according to a ruling of the state board of control, said Supt. R. L. Williams last night. This ruling will settle a question, which has long been disturbing colored people and finally resulted in a letter of protest to Gov. E. L. Philipp, written on June 17. In its letter the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People complained against the attitude of state officials and Dr. Williams, who were charged with saying that Negroes could not be successfully treated with whites in the state tuberculosis institution. Since this letter was written Dr. Williams has received orders to admit all Negro patients. He said many had recently come to Wisconsin, with the influx of colored laborers from the South, and that he did not believe he could handle them at Wales, unless some ruling were made by state officials. Since adjustment of the matter by the state board letters have been written to the organizations complaining, explaining that hereafter Negroes will be admitted. Dr. Williams said segregation would be impossible and that negroes and whites alike would be given attention in the same wards and rooms. In a letter to Gov. Philipp, Secretary R. Shillady of the national association complained in part as follows: "Dr. R. L. Williams, superintendent of your state institution, advises us not to insist upon the admission o colored people to the present institution. He gives as his reason for not admitting colored people to the said institution the alleged fact that Negroes have an offensive body odor to which sick people, says Dr. Williams, are extremely sensitive. This association insists that Dr. Williams' objections are puerile and absolutely without warrant. The matter of personal offensiveness, such as is alleged by Dr. Williams, is a purely individual matter, and not one of race. Colored people have a right to, and do, resent such imputations as that put upon them by Dr. Williams in his statement to us. Savs Negroes Pay Taxes "But the essence of the problem lies in the fact that colored people are citizens; they pay taxes, the same as white people, and Wisconsin has no right to make any distinctions as between whites and colored, in admission to state institutions. "We put this matter squarely up to you, a chief executive of the state, to see that justice is done to the colored people of Wisconsin in this matteer." Mr. Williams admitted that he had made statements cited to the governor in the association's letter, among them being "that Negroes have an offensive body odor to which sick people are extremely sensitive." Four There Some Time Ago Dr. Williams said that some time ago there were four Negroes patients at Wales, and that conditions became such that he asked the state board for a ruling as to what he should do—whether Negro patients should continue to be admitted, or whether there was a possibility that they could be sent elsewhere. "We never have refused to admit negroes," said Dr. Williams "and we have had Negro patients long before the letter to the governor and the complaints of the association were made public. "If our hospital at Wales had special provisions for such cases, 7,000 Members. these questions never would arise," he said. "We feel that perhaps the necessity shown in this complaint will enable the board of control to make provision in future for proper care of all our patients, everything considered." NEGRO SOLDIERS EAGER TO FIGHT, SAYS MESSAGE Washington, D. C., Special to (Special to Blade) Washington, D. C. Denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are being given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the war department Friday by Gen. Pershing. The message said the Negroes are in high spirits. Their only complaint the message said, was that they were not given more active service. Gen. Pershing said he could not "commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 among the four colored combat regiments now in France: Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth inantry. Died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8 severely wounded, 2. Three Hundred and Seventieth infantry; Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. Three Hundred and Seventy first infantry; Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. Three Hundred and Seventy-second infantry; Died of wounds, none; died on disease, 3; severely wounded. 1 These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. Editor's Note:—A persistent report has been going the rounds to the effect that Mr. Melvin Bartlett of Milwaukee, was recently killed by accident "Somewhere THREE—BLADE __sjfa,rofle H in France." We tried to verify the report but could not get no nearer to it than that Tom got it from Bill who got it from Ed. ee. The foregoing report from Washington would indicate that no member o the 372nd infantry, Bartlett's regiment, has "diet o wounds." We hope that there is a mistake about his death.

Can you refuse to loan your savings when other men give their lives? Buy War Savings Stamps. In purchasing Thrift Stamps, you give nothing. You merely end to the government on interest. The time was when to be a creditor of the United States was to be distinguished above your fellows. Now it is in the reach of everyone. Give our boys in the Army and Navy every fighting chance. Pledge yourself to save to the utmost of your ability and to buy War Savings Stamps.

"Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty" might well be the motto of the N. A. A. C. P, which freely translated means the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Before we of Wisconsin knew anything of the unjust and unwarranted discrimination being practiced at the Wales Sanatorium in our very midst that association, with offices in New York, had protested to the governor and corrected the abuse. A remarkable exhibition of serving the purpose of its existence: We repent here what we have before said, this association is worthy the deep interest and the hearty appreciation of every colored person in this country. Its purpose is as its name implies—to advance colored people to the position in our national life to which they are rightly entitled. It aims to do this in a lawful manner and in full accord with all constitutional restrictions. It will be satisfied with nothing short of absolute equality for all men before the law. In its role of membership it numbers many able, scholarly and influential men and women of both races. We have before now endeavored to ascertain what selfish motive these white men and women would have in an alliance of this nature. They are not politicians seeking advancement—but apparently men and women Scissord Thoughts San Antonia Inquirer— The colored people should remember that we are living in a military age and are facing the greatest crisis the word has ever known. Every effort on the part of the race should be spent endeavoring to win the war, which should be our supreme aim, and nothing should be left undone on the part of the Colored people to accomplish that end. Southern Christian Recorder—The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association has subscribed or $101,000 of Uncle Sam's Liberty Loan and Savings stamps. One Hundred and One Thousand Dollars from one Negro association tells the world that the Negro is more than a mere cipher in the composition of this, the greatest government in the world. Christian Recorder— Bulletin No. 35, which we published two weeks ago, was an insult to every self-respecting Negro and an insult to the United States Army; and the man responsible for it should resign. We want victory for our forces. No man can lead soldiers to victory who will surrender these soldiers and threaten them that if they do not submit "white men will break up the regiment." Our soldiers are neither slaves nor mercenaries; they are citizen soldiers, and the man who would consider them less should have self-respect enough to resign; if he has not he should be put out. If Ballou is responsible for Bulletin No. 35 the Negroes should demand his resignation; and that is what we do. FRATERNAL, MILWAUKEE F. & A. M.—Widow's Son lodge No. 25. A. L. Herron. W. M. R, L.

They may be regarded as the latter day abolitionists—the lineal descendants of Lovejoy, Douglass, Garrison Summer, Phillips and that galaxy of justice loving souls of more than a half century ago. Of course there are many colored people members of the association. Is it not their association. But there are not one half of the number that should be enrolled as members. In Wisconsin the number can easily be counted upon on the fingers of one's hands. Every city ought to have a live brand of the association to keep a watch for just such things as occurred at Wales. Certainly every colored man and woman in the state ought to be a dues paying member of the National association which knows no state lines, and fights in Wisconsin with the same vigor it does in Louisiana or New York. This is not the first time it has invaded this state to fight our battles. It rendered valiant service in 1917 against the infamous Bennett bill to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and blacks. In return we ought to show our appreciation by enlisting in its service. Of its activities we as a race are the chief beneficiaries. It has no other excuse for existence except to serve us.
