Wisconsin Race Convention At Madison June 17-18-19 Soldiers Would Court Martial Colonel A. J. Greer The VOLUME IV. State Histor State St. Wisconsi Soldiers LIEUT·OSCEOLA E·MCKAINE Field Secretary Comments on Col Allen J. Greer's Infamous 1 Editor Blade: Editor Blume I am directed by the League of Defense, an organization of colored officers and men who have served America in her crustace against the Hun of Europe to write you this open letter concerning Col. Allen J. Greer's most infamous and prevaricating letter to Senator McKeller, relative to colored officers and men of the 92nd division, of which Col. Greer was at one time chief of staff. We feel that the entire race has been grossly humiliated and insulted. That part of Col. Greer's work which says that the color officers and soldiers are only to themselves and women, stigmatize and insult the race with more malicious venom than even that peerless Bourbon Secessionist, Thomas Dixon, dll in this Birth of a Nation. Both of these documents are in the same class as regards disloyalty to the union and insults, unmerited anti-Negro propaganda. Col. Greer should be tried for disloyalty; he is not fit to be a citizen of the republic, because any person who fomented or sought against, racial prejudice or war, directly gave the enemy, for he thereby created a weak link in our war chain. Inumerable colored officers and men have been decorated by both the American and French governments for gallantry in action. Two entire regiments have been honored with the Croix de Guerre by the French. Col. Greer must prove that these decorations were not mentioned; that the military should those government officials recommended not competent judges of military efficiency and bravery in battle. These returned black heroes who so brilliantly embellished the Stars and Stripes at Chatsuko Thierry, Argonne Forest and before Metz, can not permit this action and agent of the Bourbon Southern Ontario offgrazing, unavoidable records without letting him feel the full force of their righteous wrath and resentment. Black men and women who have given their blood and dollars to make the world safe for Democracy can not let this vile, vicious and premeditated insult to the race go unchallenged. The War department is on trial in this matter we have scores of justices against its policies. The end of our patriotic patience will be reached if it permits this brazen offender of twelve millions of loyal citizens to escape punishment without trial. Col. Greer should be tried for conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for attempting to influence legislation, and for adding the energy. Nothing less than dishonorable discharge will appease us; nothing less than this will be adequate reparation. He has been unfaithful to his trust and to this commanding officers for General Pershing, himself, at Le Manz, during a review of the 92nd division said that the division has made good, that he was proud of its achievements, morale and discipline, and that had the brunt of the mistlethast offensive ever launched by the American forces. Even that artillery, relentless Negrophobia of Bulloin 35 fame, General C. C. Ballou, stated that: "It [92nd division) participated in the last battle of war with oceantable success, continuously pressing the attack against enemy ships, and having advanced successfully on the first day of the battle, attaining its objectives and capturing prisoners. This in face of determined opposition by an alert enemy and against rifle, machine gun and artillery fire." This memorandum was signed by Col. Greer as Chief of Staff. The War department must make Greer reconcile the sentiments of this command with the sentiments pressed in this letter to Senator McKelar. Col. Greer states that his letter was of vital importance from a point of view which all Southwesterners have. The attention of the secretary of war is invited to the following five points of view with regard to the drafted men of the South from an advertisement of the Harriman National Bank in the men indicted into the service by draft, 293.077 or 65 percent were citizens of Southern states whose total white contribution was only 370.369 Mississippi gave 24.096 colored, 19.296 white; South Carolina 25.778, colored, 18.261 white; Louisiana 28.711 colored, 27.494 white; Georgia 34.306 colored, 32.533 white; Florida 2.909 colored, 32.533 white; and the paragraph to be also of vital importance and interest to the country at large concerning it as their southern point of view. We feel that as long as Col. Greer remains unified and free the race remains insured and stabilized. We owe it to our posteriority to take any action necessary to have this foulmish erased and the brouper punished. We must permit our descendants to read this letter in future histories and look upon our graves with scorn and contempt for permitting them to be branded as moral leapers, cowards and cloaks before they were born. In this matter our slogan is "Greer must be tried and the race vindicated." The letter mentioned herein was published in the Grass for the month of November 1936 to submit the facts stated herein for your earliest possible attention and action. IF YOU ARE Patronize Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper---They Appreciate Your Trade 65 PER CENT OF SOUTHERNERS IN WORLD WAR COL- ORED MEN (By Blade News Service) NEW YORK, May 24—From figures made public from authentic sources, it appears that of the 360,710 colored men inducted into the war by draft, 239,097, or 65 per cent, were from Southern states, whose white contribution was only 370,269. In the first two named states, collored population is greater than the white, but nevertheless in the whole South is seen the effort of the whites to evade military service and send the colored brother to fight in their stead. The white would be likely to not return, or else aiming to stay at home themselves and get rich from war profiteering. The South stands today disgraced before the rest of the country as a pussyfooter and a slacker. Paraphrasing President Wilson's famous statement, Democratic administration is responsible that this section of the country was allowed to shirk its bounded patriotic duty. Like in all secrets, information is beginning to filter thru that no section in the whole country has profited from the white's involvement in power and Southern Senators and Representatives having their hands on the steering wheels of the government, armed with wartime authority, the South has proceeded to feather its own nest openly. Two things may be mentioned from a number. The government railroad administration shows that big roads through the North and West had huge deficits, while even the little Southern roads showed surplus and profits. This is said to be due to the fact that government troop trains and freight trains have been deflected from their routes and over Southern ways for the very purpose of "helping them out." On the press boat going to the peace conference, little dailies from Mobile and Montgomery are reported to have been allowed two representatives, a woman and a man, big papers like the New York World, six times larger in circulation and power. The Northern states are not asleep, and in later days have grown bitter, and the state that has the mission has become a fact. They say, as the Harriman National Bank of this city announced in a recent advertisement, "if the South is going to foist on us an eighteenth amendment, we are going to see that the fifteenth amendment is inforced." "Not that we are concerned with the wisdom or justice of Negro suffrage or prohibition, but we are concerned deeply and directly with the rights and privileges of citizenship as conferred by constitution under which we have achieved successfully 130 years of our national life." RAINS MEAN MUCH TO CROPS, SAYS REPORT SOIL WAS TOO DRY TO WORK IN SPOTS; CORN MOSTLY IN GROUND The rains of the last few days mean much to the farmer, says the weekly U. S. crop report for Wisconsin, issued today. The report follows. Usually warm weather prevailed last week, with no rain except local thunder storms, until the close of the week, when general rains occurred. The ground has become too dry to work up plants and the moisture was needed generally. The rain came in good time and will be of great benefit. Farm work was progressing rapidly, except where the ground was too dry and planting of corn, potatoes and sugar beets was almost completed by the end of the week. Corn and potatoes are coming up and generally are in excellent condition. Small grains and grain are growing well so the hot, dry weather was not very favorable to late sown grain. Cutworms and bottles are especially numerous in some localities, so no serious damage has been reported thus far. Conditions are favorable for fruit, but only a small percentage of fruit on the trees has set, so it is too early to estimate the probable crop. Apples are blossoming as far north as the northern state line.

However in view of the fact that Uncle Sam is patiently nursing me back to health, it behoves me to discard any unpleasant thoughts and think only of the sweet things of life.

Are you forgetting your discipline? No I am sure that you are not. Carry it with you thru life, as discipline in Civil life is a valuable asset to any man. You have access to a military training, and having been thru the mill, you have returned to your homes, honorably discharged from the service, to again take up your industrial and professional battles. You should be far better men today than you were two years ago, for those of you who missed the training so esentially, personal hygiene and respect for the rights of your fellow men; in your younger days, can be proud of the fact that you now possess it. Some of you may find it pretty tough, owing to the sudden change from a war to a peace footing; and owing to the many unemployed you may find it difficult to employment that you prefer. But do not become discouraged, accept any honest employment until you can do better. RIGHT NOW is when your discipline will stand you in well, and demonstrate to the dubious the goods you are made of. No matter but there is no better discipline in the world than mastery of yourself, that mental poise and soft control. Force yourself to be patient, sociable and interesting with and to those whom you do not care for. Cultivate an amiable disposition, do not become cross, irritable, sharp, critical, sarcastic, even under provocation; but have never be patient and generous of spirit. Remember there are millions of different human opinions in this dear old U. S. of which yours is but one. When we crossed the pond to fight the Fun, we already had a big fight on which we were fighting not for Our Country alone, but for the promotion of our welfare and to prove to the world that we were and are gentlemen, desiring only to be treated as such, no more, no less. Boys this fight is an individual one, who is not your combat groups are arranged. Your men go at it armed with the weapons above described. Let not one you commit a wrong, that will permit our enemy to disarrange our glorious achievements. Take not offense at petty remarks. Remembrance is not worthy of a kick (WASTED ENERGY).

David Brown, and the S. C. of M., headed by E. H. Morris, have been restrained by a sweeping injunction handed down in the Supreme Court of New York on March 30, 1919. This proceeding was one brought by New York Odd Fellows, headed by W. A. Cornelius and R. E. Warner, against W. David Brown, the Grand Lodge of New York, and the S. C. of B. under Morris. From the evidence and the law presented before the chancery, the law presented before the chancery, the law presented before the chancery, and the law presented before the chancery, had no substance of law or regularity, and that they had no standing in a court of equity, and that the B. M. C. wished Cornelius and Warner were acquitted at the Manhattan Casino, was the only lawful body of Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. FISH INQUIRY IS VOTED DOWN The assembly today killed, 28 to 40, the Graaas resolution providing for a joint interim committee of the legislature to investigate the commercial fishing industry and report necessary legislation at the next session. Graaas insisted the step was necessary to wipe out all confusion about the fish laws. Assemblyman Jefferson, a commercial fisherman of Maliatta, informed the assembly he has 150 pounds of fish to give away and with which to "demonstrate" the proposed committee could lean in a long, expensive trip over the state—all that there is to know about commercial fishing."

They go to show that deep down in the heart of the average man is a sense of justice which needs but to be awakened: Milwaukee, Wis. May 27, 1919. To the Editor, Milwaukee Journal: Dear Sir.—One of the causes of frequent complaints on the part of colored people was well illustrated in the Saturday and Sunday editions of the Milwaukee Journal. Saturday a news dispatch appeared telling of the burning of the Virginia in Hampton Roads. It was headlined "STEAMER BURNS; LIVES LOST. Negro Charged with Setting Fire to Passenger Ship Virginia." In the body of the article six lines told the whole story, so far as the Negro was concerned. Sunday, another dispatch was headlined "THROUGH FLAMES TO SAVE SHIP VICTIM. Three Known Dead, Several Missing in Burning of Steamer Virginia." In the body of the article, one of the survivors, a white woman, in detail and at great length, described the heroic work of two Negroes to whom she owed her life. It was one of these who went "THROUGH FLAMES TO SAVE SHIP VICTIM." But the headline failed to mention it. Now the question naturally arises, why the emphasis upon the crime charged to one Negro and so little publicity to the heroism of the other? FT. SMITH, ARK.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN The Cream City Notes of Interest Concerning Milwaukee People MILWAUKEE OFFICE MILWAUKEE BRANCH N A A C H OLDS W RANCH N A A C P H OLDS WARM MEETING Note on Resolution Demanding Democracy Refused by President (Blade News Service) MILWAUKEE - The local branch of A. A. C. P. held a public mass meeting on Saturday evening at St. Mark's church, ostensibly to endorse the proposed Soldiers and Sailors Club for colored men. As it was known that there was some opposition to the terms in which the War Camp Community service had offered the club, the meeting was largely attended. It was called by and was in charge of those who strongly favored the club upon the terms offered. The president in a few words stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the matter of the proposed club and suggested that every one have something to say. Very little, however, was done as one seemed quite where to begin. For a few minutes it reminded me of a Quaker meeting. Then it was that Mr. G. H. Deefe arose and asked leave to offer a resolution. The chair was in double whether Mr. De Reef could read his resolution without having the time sed in so doing counted as a part of the time allowed him for discussion. I vote of the house was necessary to nable him to do so. After reading the resolution the pro- poser moved its adoption and imme- nitately Rev. J. S. Woods seconded it, and something was before the house or action. It was debated pro and on for nearly two hours, and though a note upon it had been demanded, the resident finally laid it on the table of its own will and motion. The resolution itself was very short, consisting of less than seventy words, it was preceded by a much longer pro- blem, in which there was set forth seasons for the resolution, that the oldiers were promised democracy and accept less would be an acknowledg- ment that the promise was a snare and delusion, that this state and city had never countenanced discrimination in public institutions and it was not becoming to experiment on soldiers and sailors fresh from a war for world ennocracy; that there was no desire in the part of the colored people to associate with whites who do not want them, but these clubs were not intended to force anyone into the homes or private circles of others; that "any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." The resolution follows. "Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the Illinoiskee Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People declines to endorse the establishment of a separate and distinct Soldiers and Sailors Club for colored men only, and it respectfully suggests that the plans for the said club so amended as to make it a club for soldiers and sailors of the community here located without regard to their identity." The meeting adjourned to meet at another time when the above might be better understood by those present, according to the president's ruling, while it was in progress the meeting was full of "pep" and it looks to the usual observer that those in favor of the resolution had all the best of the argument. Though call by them, those who opposed the resolution seemed to have lost their meeting. Some of the members now ask the question what was the meeting called or if the only thing offered was so bitterly fought by the callers. Only two motions were carried during the entire meeting. One to permit the resolution to be offered and the other or the previous question on the resolution. The resolution was never voted on. e, Wis.

C., June 6—Street car men joined in the general strike here today and thousands walked to work or took a day off. The decision came after a meeting lasting several hours.** **The Vancouver Sun, morning newspaper, was issued under direction of the censor this morning, and carried not a line regarding the walkouts here. The Sun is considering suspending during the period of the strike. Interurban street car service is still active.** The general strike here is in sympathy with the Winnipeg strike. There is no grievance between local employers and employees. BETTLEMENT WINNIPEG, MN - 5 Surface indications today pointed to renewed intensity in the fight between the various factions in the labor dispute here. Authoritative information, however, indicated a settlement "with honor to both sides," in the next 12 hours. Alderman Ernest Robinson, one of the strike leaders, dispatched urgent telegraphs last night called upon delegates to attend a meeting of the trust to get here as soon as possible "for a settlement of the strike." In the meantime the strikers have affected a tightening of their blockade-Municipal officials and the citizens committee of 1,000 have accepted the gauge of battle laid down by the strikers in ordering milk and bread in the district theatricals, the theatre orchestra, stage hands, restaurant workers and grave diggers Mayor Gray and citizens committee leaders said they have collisted the aid of returned soldiers to fight the strikers. Bread and milk stations have been led by the municipal authorities, Artillery units have been made for police protection if necessary, and manned by citizen committee workers. This latest strike order has closed up practically all places of amusement and restaurants. A tentative plan for a settlement "with honor to both sides" has already been done, the mediation commission representing the brotherhoods, it is stated on good authority. This plan will be presented today, for review by all factions. ALEXANDRIA — American hats adorn the heads of Egyptian women, American businessmen, American business methods.

He speaks and only speaks to the congress, but will arise and champion the cause of Negro (weaker people in the nation) and while the spirit is found is thus seen moving as it were, in the waters, the Negro must fight the right of righteousness for HIMFLE and not wait for his friends of the other race to urge him on, to awaken him to a sense of his own responsibility.

COLVER ASSAILS PACKER TRUST COLVER ASSAILS PACKER TRUST FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONER OPTIMISTIC OVER BUSINESS OUTLOOK CINCINNATI, June 6—with a note of optimism for business, an appeal for the league of nations and an attack on the trade embargo against Iran. William B. Colver of the federal trade commission, addressed the National Wholesale Grocers' association here today. To sign a peace treaty and merely declare war over, he said, would mean twenty wars in Europe in the next three decades, which might be the torch touching off another world war. "A treaty of peace unsupported by a covenant of nations will be powerless to really bring about peace as the armistice was powerless to substitute the orderly processes of peace for the destructive processes of war." Colver has just returned from Europe and declared the "world cannot do without us."

Walker's one desire was to perpetuate the goods and products of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, with the main office in Indianapolis, Indiana. As such the company has been doing business ever since. Two years ago, realizing that her health was rapidly falling, Madam Walker gathered about her experienced and competent employee, realtor, and former Director and turned the management of her vast business over to the same. Under this new management which is the present management, the Company has measured up to its reputation and kept its products up to the high standard that made the Madam C. J.

Both bills were recommended by committee for death. The senate, according to recommendation, killed the Fons bill which provided that all instruction in graded schools, district schools and parochial schools be given in English. The Schultz bill was laid over after introduction of a substitute amendment by Senator Jennings. Senator Schultz asked an explanation why his bill was reported out unfavorably. It required the teaching of all subjects in English and went into detail in respect to school attendance. Jennings Hurls Challenge "The teaching of foreign language in Milwaukee in the lower grades has caused resentment on the part of the pupils and does little good." said Schultz. "I was asked by many prominent persons of foreign extraction to introduce such a bill." Jennings startled the senatorial quiet with a few strong remarks on foreign language instruction FOREIGN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION ROOFING All Kinds Have that leaky roof repaired Kearney Paint & Roofing Co.

"Bills have been passed in state after state against the teaching of foreign language. It is up to you Republicans to meet this matter squarily and stick to your party platforms. Earlier man here should oppose the teaching of German language in our schools. "Many here are afraid of the German element in this state. I for one am not afraid. Some of us are trying to keep the German vote. If we hope to Americanize the parents we have got to start with the children." Substitute Up Next Week Jennings attacked the socialistic stand on the matter and proposed an amendment to the Schultz bill. The amendment goes beyond the Schultz bill and says that instruction shall be in English in all public, private and parochial schools in grades below high school. The parochial in the bill shall be construed as giving the state any more supervision over parochial and private schools than it now possesses. The Jennings substitute is considered more effective than the Schultz bill and more specific than the Fons measure. The amendment was late under the order and come up next week for consideration. Arnold, Milwaukee socialist, spoke in favor of killing both bills, saying English was taught in other nations and that the German language and the foreign tongues should be taught here.

Russell, leading figure among the strikers, and the railroad brotherhoods' mediation committee appeared optimistic. Mediation Work Progresses The mediation committee announced satisfaction in the sessions with representations of the metal trades workers and the iron masters. This dispute is, however, held incidental by the general strike committee, Russell insisted the compulsory collective bargaining law and the return of all strikers to their jobs without discrimination were the two chief demands of the strikers. Another victory was claimed by labor in persuading the police commission to postpone the anti-strike ultimatum issued to the police until Saturday night. Gray was also said to be smoothing the way toward settlement with the strikers, which permits all those who walked out to return to their riots. That same attitude will hold true in the telephone workers' case. Postal authorities also stand ready to take back all former employees upon due application, reports said. With the three governmental agencies willing to concede that much to the strikers a big step toward settlement has been made, observers said. The collective bargaining issue presents a more difficult problem. President Boris insisted the government still demands that the sympathetic strike be called off before taking a hand in the negotiations. Strikers were today considering the proposal of Attorney General Thomas Johnson for a referendum vote on the compulsory bargaining proposal. SENATE CALLS BACK HUBER RESOLUTION That the Huber joint resolution memorializing the president and congress to take energetic action at once to stop outrages against Jews in Eastern Europe would mean that American forces now in Europe would be sent into other European countries (including Poland), to stop outrages that have never occurred, was declared by Senator Louis Fons today in introducing a resolution to recall from the assembly, for the purpose of killing, the Huber resolution adopted by the senate Wisconsin Repairing Complicated Watches A Specialty ENBERG Madison, Wisconsin scalp diseases, nourishes the hair the hair roots. d hair roots by supplying the nec- culate healthful growth. vigor to dormant hair roots mak- tubborn hair grow soft, luxurian wanted everywhere. $1.00 starts road to success.

Huber opposed recall of the resolution, saying nothing was intended to cause immediate intervention in those countries where the outrages were being committed. He further said he introduced the bill by request. "This resolution relates to a subject on which an investigation is now being conducted," said Bird. "So far it has been proven that the statements about Jewish massacres are unfounded." Senator Fons attacked the resolution on the ground that the rumors were started by German propagandists. Senator Conant said the boys are a failure in business there and that the resolution in effect asked that America keep a standing army in Europe until every little squabble was ended.
