sconsin Weekly Blade THE WISCONSIN PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION HOLDS CONVENTION IN MADISON The Attendance was Large, Many Delegates and Members From Throughout the State Were Present The VOLUME IV. A Hearty Welcome from Hon. Geo. P. Hambrocht, chairman Wis. Industrial Commission, Mayor Geo. C. Sayles, were extended the Organization A Gala and Interesting Program by the Local Committee Committee By A. J. Long Madison, Wis., June 17th, the Progressive Association of the Race in the State of Wisconsin held its first session of the convention in the Grand Army rooms of the Wisconsin State Capitol and quite a number of members and delegates from various towns in the state were present. The convention opened its meeting for business at 3:30 P. M., the singing of America preceded the program of the day. The invocation was rendered by Rev. Jefferson. The Local President Mr. J. N. Wilson delivered an oration and welcome address to the members and friends of the organization. Mr. George P. Hambrecht, chairman of the Wisconsin State Industrial commission delivered a most eloquent address and welcome to the organization in behalf of the state of Wisconsin and was greatly applauded for his remarks of encouragement and good will shown to the race in the past. Mr. Hambrecht will be remembered by the members of the race as one most instrumental in presenting to the Governor of the State of Wisconsin, a bill which appropriated ways and means for a delegation of the race to attend the Negro celebration of Emancipation held in Chicago in 1915 and he himself was present at one of its sessions. He spoke in glowing terms of the race's progress in the industrial world, the Negro's gallantry in the recent war and advised them to continue in their efforts for advancement for success awaits them. Rev. Penn of Racine, a member of the organization, addressed the Convention and his address was an eloquent one, he spoke largely of the educational advancement of the race as a means most essential in solving the problems that confront the race in its aspiration for recognition and success. Mayor Sayles of Madison tendered the organization the key of the city in the nature of a most hearty welcome on behalf of the citizens of Madison. He spoke largely on the necessity of having competent persons as officers in charge of organizations that strive for advancement and attainment. He spoke of the progress of the race in general and related several stories relative to the part the Negro played in the recent World's conflict. He has been a visitor to the school founded by our late Booker T. Washington, and spoke in most complimentary terms of the conduct and workings of that grand institution which will live as a monument to its deceased founder. Rev. Ferguson of Milwaukee, responded to the call from the chair with a most eloquent address relative to the progress the race has made in the short time (as the world is reckoned) since it was freed of its fetters. He said it is not the heights which we have reached that places us so conspicuously on the world's horizon but it is the depths from which we have come. The Reverend was greatly impressed with the cordial welcome tendered the organization and said he could not find words to do honor to the occasion, of which he was justly proud. He spoke of the uplift of the race and he said the good people are getting together and have come to the conclusion that the brotherhood of men is a solution of all differences and prejudice. He spoke of the part played by our boys overseas and in conclusion he said the hesitancy of the kaiser's people to sign would be eliminated if they were told the black boys were coming. Rev. Phillips of Madison, welcomed the organization in a most eloquent address on behalf of the churches of Madison. Other prominent speakers completed the day's program and in all it was a gala day for the Progressive Association of which its members should be justly proud. And in conclusion when you stop to think this convention held its meetings in the Grand Army Rooms of the State Capitol, a fitting tribute to that army (Grand in very truth) from the fact that its fight to loosen the shackles of slavery from the race who met here and enjoyed such a privilege was not in vain. Yet it remains unto the Negro both individually and collectively to unloosen the shackles of prejudice, segregation and injustice practiced upon him today. As in the days Patronize Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper---They Appreciate Your Trade of Harper's Ferry there was one who predicted the coming of one an emancipator to free the Negro from the cruel slavery and bondage of body and I can see in the not far distant future the coming of an emancipator or events, that will lead to the freedom of the Negro to enjoy the fundamental rights of a citizen of the country whose flag and color he so nobly upheld and protected in this recent world's conflict for democracy and humanity.

'IMMEDIATE PEACE, G.O.P.CRY FALL AND EDGE OFFER RESOLUTIONS IN SENATE TO PERMIT AMERICA TO REAP COMMERCIAL BENEFITS BY L. C. MARTIN WASHINGTON, June 24 — "Immediate peace" today was the slogan of League of Nations opponents in the senate. While last week they demanded separation of the treaty proper and the league, they now demand that congress declare peace for the United States and let business reap its benefit. The peace resolutions introduced yesterday by Senators Fall and Edge were before the foreign relations commission which may take them up today or Wednesday. The Republican proposal will be emphatically opposed by administration Democrats salt today. They regard the Fall treaty as simply further evidences, they said, of partisan efforts to harrass President Wilson. Republicans asserted today that the Fall resolution is within the right of congress to pass, since the power that declared war has the right to end it. They predicted that unless it passes, the enjoyment of the commercial benefits of peace by American businessmen will be considerably delayed. Republicans denied the Democratic charge that Fall's measure is intended to provide an excuse for delaying ratification of the Paris treaty and the league covenant.

SIX-CENT FARE WINS IN SUPREME COURT TRIBUNAL OVERRULES JUDGE STEVENS IN LA CROSSE CASE; DECISION HITS MANY CITIES The Wisconsin Supreme court today reversed the ruling of Judge Stevens, Dane County Circuit court, that no emergency warranted charging more than 5 cents for car fares in the city of La Crosse. The opinion, written by Justice Kerwin, held that an emergency did exist and upheld the six cent fare. The decision is of importance to many Wisconsin cities, which have similar actions pending or are planning court fights for fare reductions. Circuit Judge E. Hay Stevens, Dane county, on March 5, 1919, entered a indictment accusing and setting aside order of the Railroad Commission increasing street railway fares on cars operated by the Wisconsin Railway, Light and Power Co. to 6 cents. The plaintiff city alleged in its original brief that the hydraulic electric property at Hatfield.

CRUGER MURDER CASE DELAYED BOLOGNA, June 19, 24—Confronted by three versions of the murder of Ruth Cruger, New York school girl, Judge Judges Occholaga today suspended trial of Alfredo Occholaga, charged with the crime, until the conflicting stories could be investigated.

A letter was introduced, said to have been written by J. J. Lyman of Municipal building, New York, stating that Miss Crunger died from a criminal operation and was buried by white slaves in Cocchi's shop. 'SOMETHING DOING' AT ALUMNI DINNER LIVELY EVENT CONSTITUTES INFORMAL INAUGURATION OF DR. E. A. BRIGE "Something doing" was the promise of the committee in charge of the annual alumni dinner given last night in the university armory, and there was. The annual banquet celebrated the informal inauguration of President E. A. Burge. About 1,000 alumni formed on the upper campus and led by Prof. Julius Oison, marched to the armory by classes. At a long central table were Precident Gore and E. L. Philipp Precident Barge in other honor guests. A surprise gift of 100 large American rosey dresses was presented to the "re-uning" class of 84 by Dr. A. J Ochsner of Chicago. Other classes occupied various tables. Features of the affair were Thompson's 20-piece jazz band, and a quartet, furnished by one of the "re-uning" classes. The class of 64 had movies "The University of Iowa and familiar university scenes." While the dinner was in progress, classes formed groups marched around the hall, singing songs and parodies, and vicing to make the most noise. The class of 09 distributed the "09 Scream," a newsy sheet with clever concerning members, as its feature. Dr Birge was the subject of all tousts. Frederick K. Chausen, '97 president of the alumni association, acted as toastmaster, and Prof. Olson as general chairman. After the dinner, an informal reception took place in Lathrop hall with Dr. and Mrs. Bing heading the recess. The party was followed by the annual alumni ball. In response to a toast, Pres. Birge said: "The future greatness and prosperity of our university depends on the loyal support given it by the alumni." It has often been charged that the alumni of endowed colleges are more than are the alumni of state university. The charge has grown out of the fact that the alumni of the endowed colleges have madeifts to their colleges where state university alumni do not. This is perfectly proper; the state should support free educational institutions for its welfare and progress. I do not doubt that the legislature of future in the past will give generosity to its university. But we need more than that we need the whole-hearted backing of every alumnus and alumna."

Soldiers with rifles and Royal Northwest mounted police visited all parks last night and dispersed the crowds. This action deprives the strikers of all outdoor meeting places. Mayor Gray said today the riot act, read by him Saturday, is still in effect. Some of the iron works started up yesterday with small staffs. Street cars are with limited service, the telephone and while the police and fire brigade are better manned, old hands are not returning to work. Special police are guarding the roofs in the vicinity of Saturday's riot, and the presence of troops and machine-guns on streets today had a deterrent effect on the possible trouble makers among the strikers. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of returned soldiers who are accused of attempting to assault the attempted "silent parade" Saturday, which led to the serious rioting in which one man was killed and more than a score injured. GOOD BEHAVIOR OR JAIL FOR DRAKIS MAN CHARGED WITH DRAWING A KNIFE, PAYS FINE, THEN GOES FREE ON SUSPENDED SENTENCE Milho Draiks, 749 West Washington avenue, accused of drawing a knife on John Jurkwitch during a quarrel Sunday night, was released today after paying a fine of $15 on a charge of assault and battery changed from the original complaint, assault with intent to do great bodily harm. A further sentence of three months in the county jail was imposed, and he was suspended as long as Draiks behaves himself. He was placed on probation to Officer T. E. Purcell. "He'll kill me," complained Yurkwitch when Draiks was released where upon District Attorney Roman Heilman ordered Turnkey W. H. Boyle to have a picture taken of Draiks before he went, for future reference in case another retribution, more serious might arise. Attorney S. B. Schein, representing Draks, refused to permit the picture to be taken. After fifty words between Heilman and Schein, followed by a conference with Judge Hopmann, Draks was released upon the condition that he have his picture taken and give it to Schein for safe keeping. 25 PERCENT BOOST SHOWN IN SIX MONTHS; PUBLICA- TION OUT The third number of The Wisconsin Apprentice was issued today by the Industrial commission. This publiza- tion is distributed through the vocational schools of the state, to all apprentices and to employers interested in apprenticeship. The number of apprenticeship contracts has been rapidly increasing since the signing of the armistice. In the last six months there has been an increase of more than 25 percent. Eighty-five diplomas were issued to apprentices completing the course dur- ing the initial graduating exercises were conducted in Appleton, Beloit and Milwaukee. Two new trades have recently taken up the problem of apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship board, to formulate the problem of apprenticeship for electrical workers. CHICAGO, June 24—A childish wanderer just caused the death of Eusther Zibinsel 5 and his sister, Eulbert 3.

Potter of Madison, Wis. would like to know je: How can you be an aviatrix without an airplane? Mrs. Potter, fresh from her conquests of the automobile field and in the realm of trapshooting, has come to Chicago with the intention of staying on the job until the two seated biplane in which she intends to make aviation safe for femininity is produced by deniers who declare they have planes for She Wishes to Pioneer "Some one has to be a pioneer," she said Sunday. "The field of aviation for women is practically unlimited. Man has so far combined to put a muzzle on the freedom." Women have flown for exhibition and commercial purposes, it is true. They did the same thing when the automobile first came in. But few, if any, women have gone into aviation for the joy of air piloting. I want to help show the women that aviation is a feminist profession. I pioneer if they won't produce a plane for me to buy?" Purchase of an airplane is a long and tedious process, according to Mrs. Potter, who says she has been "stalled off" by aviation agents for weeks. "I'm due to hop off for Madison soon," she declared. "I have promised students at the university to bring them the plane as part of their reunion celebration, and I don't intend to leave Chicago until I leave it in my own machine." He Pays Her a Tribute "Yes," said one airplane pilot. "I know she had I find a salesman half as purposeful and persistent I double his salary." Mrs. Potter is credited with having pioneered in trapshooting for women. Hundreds of women have followed her lead since she won the western championship in St. Louis. She brought her, the Routt Erickson of Madison, along to make the reunion "hop" with her.

E. L. Phillip today vetoed three bills, including two which sought to place Milwaukee county institutions under supervision of the Milwaukee county board. These bills, says Phillip, would bar the state from representation in administration of certain institutions, and Milwaukee county will not be able to "appeal to the generosity of the state in the aid of its charitable institutions, if it entirely closes its doors to any and all participation by the state in the control of its penalties for the asylum for mental diseases, the hospital for mental diseases and for Muirdale Sanatortum." The other bill proposed a change in the method of selecting jurors. The bill was impractical, said the governor.

A committee represented the United Press division of the C. T. U. A. yesterday met the United Press management and presented demands for a new contract calling for a salary increase of approximately 50 percent. Increases in telegraphers' salaries are ultimately borne by the newspaper clients of the press associations and as a result every publisher, as well as the press operator employed by the United Press, have an international interest in the pending negotiations. Consequently at the close of yesterday's business the entire proposition presented by the union committee, together with the detailed reply of the management was placed on the leased wire systems of the United Press and by 7 oclock klast night every leased operator and every publisher of a paper service of the United Press leased wire service from the United States to San Diego, Cal., and from Vancouver, B. C., to Atlanta, Ga., had before him every word exchanged in the negotiations up to that time. All of the dealings of the United Press management are being conducted directly with a committee of three representing the telegraphers' union. All exchanges between the management and the committee are being made in writin gand at the close of each day's business will be broadcasted to thousands of miles of leased wire which form a United Press network over the United States and Canada. The ect is as the every word of the negotiations was made audible to all parties concerned at identically the same time in a huge auditorium of the width of the American continent, and of depth entertaining from Hudson Bay.

BENEDICT'S It has the endorsement of His Grace Most Rev. S. G. Messmer, Archbishop of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Association of Commerce. Reasons for white people to help the Negro: 1. The Negro was forced by the white man to come to this country and kept by the white man in slavery for about 250 years and when made free was left without means and education. 2. He lives with us; there are about 11,000,000 Negroes in the U. S.; he is capable of advancement; when properly educated is a most law-abiding citizen. 3. He is our brother, having a common parent—Adam—and the same Heavenly Father; we expect to be with him in Heaven. 4. Efficient help is given to the Negro only if we help him to educate his children; thousands of Negro parents cannot educate their children properly without the aid of institutional care, because in many cases there is only one parent to support the children; often both parents have to work outside the home to make ends meet and very frequently parents live in environments most unfavorable to bring up children properly. 5. In the past 6 years St. Benedict's Home has cared for over 200 boys and girls many of whom have thereby been saved from moral degradation and educated to be hopeful men and women. The institution with its day-nursery takes care at present of over 80 children while 25 more attend the day school. It is only one home of its kind for colored children in the north half of the U. S. from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, while white children have several such institutions in every state. Many must now be turned away on account of want of room; a new and large home will be the means of saving over 100 children more every year. 6. The Rev.

May they hope to find sufficient men and women in sympathy with the cause to get sufficient means before the year 1919 expires to be able to erect a new building, which will cost approximately $100,000. The Capucin Fathers are willing to shoulder half the cost. Ten thousand dollars will pay for one story, $3,000 for one class-room, (there will be four class-rooms in all) $400 will furnish one class-room, $500 the refectory, $1,000 the assembly and recreation, $2,000 will furnish the dormitory. Anyone contributing one of the above sums can erect a grand monument either in memory of some dear departed one or to have generations bless his name for the good done. 7. First large gift of $3,000 has been received from Miss E. G. Marshall and minor sums from others to the amount of $1,000.

The years flew fast, and yet I stood, While toward mid-day my life's sun rose "Will it open now to my strong manhood, Or wait till evening shadows close?"

Stept' forward and the gate-latch tried. And lo, I found, to my surprise. The massive gate swung open wide! —Roscoe C. Jamison. BLADELETS Determination is the key to Opportunity. Did it never occur to you that an "ad" in your paper is a guarantee of courteous treatment? Self respect and a common sense knowledge that man's respect is worth having, is a girl's best protection. Try the experiment, girls! Speaking of democracy, we are advised that in Cleveland, Ohio, more than fifty young colored women are teaching in the public schools, many of them having only white pupils. The investigation of the Peace Treaty leak led the inquisitors quickly and directly into the sacred purliens of Wall Street. Now what are you going to do about it? After a vigorous fight for nearly a half century, the advocates of the franchise for women have secured the passage by Congress of the resolution for an amendment to be submitted to the states for ratification. A thing worth having is worth contending for. When we consider the obstacles to the Negro soldier in France—the well trained Hun in front of him, the jeers and insults of his white comrades and southern officers in his rear and the tempting German propaganda all around him—we wonder at the excellent record he made. THE INDEPENDENT NEWS We note with pleasure the founding, at St. Louis, of the Independent News, of which our old friend and subscriber, Walter Lowe, late Lieutenant, 365th Inf. A. F. F., is the directing head. We extend to Lieut. Lowe and his staff a hearty greeting. We wish for them abundant success in their promised efforts to conduct a clean, newsy effective sheet. We know that if he brings to his present task the same indomitable spirit as characterized his service abroad, success of the new venture is assured. We predict for the Independent New a man's share in the great work in which are all striving to do "our bit." LOVE LAUGHS, ETC Takishi Kanno, poet and artist is a Jap. Katharine Boyle Kanno, his wife, is an American of Irish descent as her name suggests. She won some fame as a sculpturess through her work on a bust of Joaquin Miller. Kanno and Miss Boyle met in 1908 and shortly after, despite the objections of the lady's parents who even inked the aid of the California statute against the intermarriage of whites and yellows, the young Irish-American and her Jap bean ideal, ran off to Seattle and were married. And they lived happily ever after, until—Yeituro Ishimaki, another subject of the Mikado came into their lives. Now Takoshi is suing Katharine for a divorce and has joined Yeituro as co-respondent. All of which moves us to remark that love laughs at locksmiths, statutes and conventionalities. --- LYNCHING, THE NATIONAL CRIME The record of Negroes in the war is said to be, without conspicuous exception, above reproach. In France they were treated on terms of equality with whites by French men and women. However, in the fighting line the Negroes did not show cowardice, but acquitted themselves bravely. Negroes who fought in the war return to a country which boasts that it has freed the Negro and given him education and the chance for living fuller and better lives. The lynching of Negroes by excitable mobs continues in that country, especially in the South. Public opinion tolerates it, and respectable white men engage in the barbarous practice. In the South an attempt has been made to arouse people against lynching. The effort has never been determined enough, and the sentiment of the South has never crystallized against it. Sections of the Eastern and Northern opinion and press have been generously critical of the South's shortcomings in this respect, which have existed beyond question, yet little has been done to suppress race riots and lynchings which have occurred in all sections. As concernus lynchings, the Southern states are chiefly guilty, but it will be stamped out by co-operative activities against it instead of mutual recriminations. The National Conference on Lynching will assemble some of the leading uplift men in the country to New York to discuss the problem. Under the circumstances the time is propitious for a nation-wide campaign through the press, especially the newspapers of this section, against it. Until the opinion of the people condemns lynching and laws it out of bounds, it will be next to impossible to ever remove it.—Nashville Tennessee. OBLIGATION OWED TO NEGRO SOLDIERS The Voice of the People, a colored newspaper published in Birmingham, makes a forceful plea for co-operation between the white and colored races to insure fair treatment for the Negro soldier. It offers the timely suggestion that a campaign be carried on by prominent white citizens and leaders among the colored people to counteract unrest and prove to the Negro citizens of Birmingham, many of whom are not informed of the true public sentiment in this community, that the Negro soldier's conduct in the war is appreciated by the white people of Birmingham. It is never the best element of the white population in Birmingham, or anywhere else in the south, that causes trouble between the races. As the Voice of the People correctly says, when the Negro soldiers went away to war the entire city was glad to honor them and wish them Godspeed. Now that these men are coming home, there is all the more reason to show them that the part they played in the war, shoulder to shoulder with the white soldiers of Alabama, has not been forgotten. It is gratifying to record that predictions that returning Negro soldiers, having a taste of army life and seen something of the world, would be trouble makers, have not come true. Negro soldiers are conducting themselves in an orderly manner. In fact, the training they have received will make them more useful citizens than they were before. The white and colored civic societies of Birmingham can do a good work in dissipating unfounded prejudice against Negro men in uniform and helping in the task of readjustment to peace conditions, which confronts everyone alike.—Birmingham Age Herald. SCISSORED THOUGHTS Lynching is reported to be growing in favor in Hunland. That is one American weakness it will not profit the Germans to adopt.—Madison Democrat. The practice of many, otherwise friendly, white newspapers throughout the country of featuring in big, blackface headline letters the word "Negro" over every news article telling of a crime committed by Colored people, is one of the most hurtful things we have to contend against.—Cleveland Advocate There is a very general belief among thoughtful people, which our returning soldiers have helped to buttress, that if the French people had not received the Afro American soldiers with such unprejudiced enthusiasm, and that if the French military authorities had not been so instant and just in recognizing and rewarding the valor of our soldiers, the American military authorities would have given them scantier and less just consideration than they did, and that was scant and unjust enough.—Washington Eagle. If Ireland wishes to be free of the influences of England, whether these influences be good or bad, we have a right to demand the right to share fully and freely the better influences of our own land and country. We can appreciate the position of Ireland. We wonder if the position of the Negro is appreciated. — Pittsburgh Courier. The ballot can eliminate from the community life, from the political equation, economic and social equations, segregation, Jim Crow cars, discriminations on street cars, elevators, public parks and public utilities. It will give our teachers better pay, better school houses; our children play grounds and recreation parks for Negro citizens, in common with the white citizens. Religion will not do it, education will not do it, compromising and begging will not do it, but the ballot will.—Atlanta Independent.

YANK ATHLETES GET JUMP IN MEET CANUCKS SHUT OUT IN BASEBALL GAME BY AMERICANS; SPRINTERS WIN PERSHING STADIUM, Paris, June 24. With a baseball victory over the Canadian nine and the placing of three men in the finals of the 10 and the 115 meters dashes, the America team got away to win the first day of the intercalled games held in Peshl stadium. An international crowd of 25,000 persons watched the contests. Bob Simpson of Columbia, Mo., record holder in the high and low hurdles, and Pat Ryan of the Irish-American Athletic club, New York, champion hammer thrower, unfurled the Stars and Strips at the opening of the games with aviators soaring overhead. Athletes from the British dominions share honors with the Americans by winning two of the four principal races. In the 100 meters dash, Edward Teschneh, Lawrence, Mass.; Sol Butler, Hutchinson, Kas, and C. W. Paddock, Pasadena, Cal. won their heats while Private J. Howard, Canara, and Lindsay of New Zealand captured heats in the same event. The time made was not extraordinary. The baseball team, B. Puller, formerly of the Washington American league team, shut out the Canadians, 5 to 0, much to the delight of 5,000 American soldiers in the bleachers. Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson, was a spectator. DE VALERA GIVEN BIG ORATION IN N. Y.

Senator Arnold, Milwaukee Socialist demanded the cause of such a proposal. Skogmio explained that all parties there would hold a conference and agreed they did not consider it worth while to take the issue to the polls and that therefore it would be useless to undergo the expense of the election. The motion of Skogmio was put at the foot of the calendar. The prospects are that the assembly will comply with the senate request for return of the bill.

SENATE STAND WILL DECIDE WILSON TOUR KNOX AND FALL RESOLUTIONS LACK NECESSARY SUPPORT, PRESIDENT TOLD; LEAGUE AND TREATY IN DOUBT By ROBERT BENDER WASHINGTON. June 24.—President Wilson's forthcoming tour of the country will be determined largely by final reports to senate opposition to the league of nations. He would prefer to limit the trip to two weeks or so, but may be forced to extend this materially. The President has been advised the senate situation on the treaty is about as follows: 1. There are insufficient votes to separate the treaty proper and the league covenant. (Sought by the Knox resolution.) 2. There are insufficient votes to pass the Fall resolution providing for immediate ending of the war. (Sought by Fall.) 3. There appears to be no chance of a clear majority of the senate voting on any treaty amendment or provision would jeopardize the treaty or the league. 4. There does not appear to be the necessary two-thirds majority now in favor of ratifying the treaty and league as it stands. Hence the President is expected to attempt to put the forthcoming battle on clear cut lines—namely. Will you take the present offer, the leica covariant or will you reject this treaty, either by voting against it or talking to it to death while the other allies approve it, thus forcing America into the position of a separate peace with Germany or a continued—technical—state of war with Germany? The President's tour will be a one-man affair. There has been all the former Presidents who have been league supporters would journey with the executive, but that is baseless.

Commenting upon this declaration, Supt. R. P. Hutton, state superintendent, said: "The matter was considered in a headquarters committee meeting a connection with the annual cost of steers in May, and the above stand was unanimously approved at that time." Make Wisconsin Battleground "The contention is that they desire to keep the question out of the general election in November, 1920. lest it complicate and confuse the election as to candidates and other measures," said Mr. Hutton. "If these politicians are sincere they can avoid such confusion by passing an effective enforcement law with a provision providing for absolute agreement with the Federal government. If the baker is falsely accused with the violation exempting beer, the enforcement measure will of necessity become the paramount issue in the general election in this state in November, 1920.

The Mount Airy Baptist Church of which the Rev. A. J. Tyler is pastor celebrated the thirteenth anniversary of his pastorate with appropriate exercises. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. James E. Willis, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. The Dorsey Violin School presented in recital Mr. Otto Bohanan, baritone, and Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano, at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. The Parents' League stated that they had already taken up the school question with members of Congress, with a view to an investigation not only of the school board's delay, but of the administration of the colored schools. They claim (?) that 20,000 Negroes demand that Mr. Bruce go; but there is another side to this story. Those 20,000 Negroes do not represent all the people; if there are 104,299 Negroes, what about the other 80,000 who by their silence have made it known that the Parents' league has gone about the affair in the wrong way. Thus, the others ask, and who will answer? While the Negroes here are making "much ado about nothing" they are overlooking the fact that American Federation of Labor held a real "reconstruction convention" in Atlantic City, and without any flare, or blowing of trumpets, wiped out, so far as it seems humanly possible, racial inequality within its ranks. It pledged itself to the granting of industrial equality to the Negro and to gathering the black workers of America into its powerful organization. It is said that Samuel Gompers, the president of the Federation, who presided at this meeting, made known his approval in these words: "This is one of the most important events of recent years in the history of the American Federation of Labor. It is an answer to those critics who say that the federation is nonprogressive and exclusive. In the past the colored workers of the country have not been susceptible to unionization. They now seem willing to join us and the American Federation of Labor is meeting them half way, ready to take them in on the basis of industrial equality." The Salvation Army in its new quarters at 7th and P Streets is still dressing up. The Salvation Army is doing a record-breaking amount of good service here and is meeting with hearty cooperation on all hands. The Supreme Order of Helpers held its anniversary exercises in the beautiful Metropolitan Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman preaching the sermon. More than 1,100 persons attended.

C., passed through the city en route to New York. The Young Women's Christian Association held a twilight social service, at which an excellent program was rendered.
