The Wisconsin Weekly Blade VOLUME 5. Milwaukeeans Frown Upon Strikebreakers Colored Population of City Resent Importation of Colored Men From Other Sections THINK IT BAD MOVE OF RAILROADS During the present railroad strike there have been sporadic instances of colored strikebrakers being imported from other centers. Several mixups between strikers and sympathizers and these imported men have occurred. Naturally, resentment of the strikers has centered on the colored race. These men, who honestly are striving for a living, are made the butt of all sorts of indignities. Recently, it is said, a number of colored men were brought from Chicago to Milwaukee by one of the railroads, and the announcement was made that more would be brought. This movement is in no sense fostered by representatives of the colored race, nor is it encouraged by them. In fact, it is discouraged. In a statement to The Milwaukee Journal, John F. Alexander, president of the Universal Improvement association, asserting he was acting as spokesman for a large portion of the negro population of Milwaukee, denounced the importation of negro strikebreakers from Chicago and other cities. He said he thanked Mayor D. W. Hoan. Friday for his attitude on this question. Negroes Oppose Importation "The negro citizens of Milwaukee," he said, "are opposed to any railroad importing negro labor to take the places of strikers. "The Universal Improvement association and all negro organizations in Milwaukee are using every means and effort to prevent the employment or negroes for such purposes and ask the co-operation of city officials and citizens.

"Unable to read and write, they do not know they are employed to break a strike until they are on the job. Such methods on the part of the railroads only cause hatred and trouble." Hoan Warns Rail Chiefs Hoan Warns All Offers Officials of railroads which import colored labor into Milwaukee during the rail strike will be held personally responsible for racial disorders or violence that might occur here as a result of the influx of negroes. Mayor Hoan said Friday in letters to W. H. Finley, president of the Northwestern road, and H. E. Byram, president of ee Milwaukee road. Mayor Hoan's letter to the two railroad presidents follow: "A report has been brought to me that your road is pursuing the policy of importing into the city of Milwaukee a considerable number of negro laborers to take the place of certain white laborers who are on strike.

"Ordinarily the last thing I would do is to interfere in a matter of this kind, nor do I wish to be understood as even suggesting what class of labor to employ during ordinary times, but I do want to notify you that the importation of colored laborers in time of strikes as in St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans and a dozen of other American cities brought about bitter race hatred and led to disgraceful race riots which have blackened the names of those cities everywhere. "The people of Milwaukee have taken great pride in the fact that not only has there been little or no disorder in labor difficulties but that we have been the most peaceful city in the entire world. We have been wholly free from any racial riots of any sort whatsoever, and I feel certain that when this matter is called to your attention, your company would no intentionally bring about a condition of affairs which will injure the splendid reputation we have gained for peace and good order. "You have undoubtedly noted that thus far the strike has been conducted in an extremely orderly manner in this city, and I therefore feel that it is my duty as mayor of Milwaukee to appeal to you personally not to contribute to the bitter feeling between negro and white laborers by importing either white or black to take the place of the opposite race within the city or county of Milwaukee.

THEE CHURCH OF TWO SONS OF THE JOY OF GOOD CONSCIENCE A Good Man's glory is the testimony of a good conscience. Keep a good conscience, and you will always be happy. A good conscience can bear very much, and is able to be a very cheerful in adversity. A bad conscience is always timid and uneasy. You will enjoy a sweet peace, if your heart does not condemn you. Never rejoice, unless you have done well. The wicked never feel true joy, neither do they experience inward peace; for "There is no peace saffin the Lord," "Unto the wicked." And if they say—"We are in peace, no evil will come to us; believe them not; for suddenly the wrath of God shall arise, and their deeds shall be brought to naught, and theirs shall perish. To glory in tribulation is no hard thing for him that loves; for thus glory is to glory in the Cross of the Lord. Short is the glory which is given by and received from men Sadness always follows the glory of the world. The glory of the good is in their consciences and not in the mouth of man. The joy of righteous is God and in God, and they rejoice in the truth. He who desires true eternal glory does not care for that which is temporal. He who seeks earthly glory or does not from his heart despise it, shows clearly that he has but little love for Heavenly. He has great tranquillity of heart, who Editor J.

For you are what you are, neither can you be made better by what others say than what God sees you to be.

A Tried and True Official The Wisconsin Weekly Blade takes great pleasure at this time in presenting to its many readers a true likeness of the Hon. Henry Bulder, who is a candidate for re-election. One good turn deserves another. His record is an open book. The following is a brief sketch of his record: Henry Bulder, the county treasurer, in going over his official records for the year 1921 finds that because of his thoughts for the welfare of Milwaukee County financially he was earned the sum of $13,680.13 from sources other than the usual avenues of income. During the said year he invested the sum of one million dollars in U. S. Certificates of Indebtedness, which sum, if same had been left with the banks of Milwaukee County as depositories of county funds, for the same length of time would have earned in interest a total of $11,605.28. In placing this million dollars in certificates of indebtedness he earned for the county the sum of $25,285.41. In the years 1921 the depository banks paid to the county an interest of 2½% on the average daily deposit, while U. S. Certificates of Indebtedness paid as high as 5½% interest. Due to Mr. Bulder's efforts the Milwaukee County depository banks were induced to pay an interest of three per cent on county funds to be left with them during the year 1922. The treasury of Milwaukee County, he finds, will therefore be enriched by about the sum of $12,576.94. Praises come to Mr. Bulder very frequently because of the courtesy and dispatch which the public meets in doing business with his department and there seems to be a pronounced readness on the part of his employees to serve. He has the finest staff of employees in his office, second to none in the state. They are kind and courteous to everybody. Re-elect the above gentleman to this office and you will make no mistake.

Henry Bulder ATTENTION! 10,000 Attend Program of Colored Baptists at Athletic Park MAYOR HOAN IN WELCOME ADDRESS Such an outpouring as Milwaukee colored folks never witnessed attended the grand emancipation jubilee celebration which was featured in Milwaukee Friday, at Athletic Park. The Rev. Samuel Russell, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, had been busy for weeks arranging the program of event. The entire affair was big success, as may be assumed from the 10,000 who attended the celebration. Rev. Russell was ably assisted by a hard-working committee, and because everyone did his share of the work having to do with the preparations, everything went smoothly and according to schedule. Mayor Hoan gave the address of welcome and Anthony Overton, president of the Douglas National bank, Chicago, responded. George W. Murray, former United States congressman from South Carolina, gave the emancipation address. Parade and Ball Game The celebration began with an automobile parade at 12:15 p. m. led was a ball game at 2:30 p.m. Mayor Hoan spoke again at 4 p.m. and the response was given by Mr. Russell. A jubilee chorus from the church sang. Mrs. M. D. Shepard read the Emancipation Proclamation at 4:40 p. m. A. Glanton, secretary of the Realty Association of Chicago, spoke at 5:50 p. m. Music was provided by John H. Wickliffe's Ginger band from 7 to 8 p. m. George Tift, president of the Milwaukee Baptist City union, spoke at 8 p. m. D. W. Raynor sang and the Price Brothers trio entertained during the evening. To Hear Boy Wonder One of the features of the celebration was a performance by Forest Sims, a 4-year-old piano player. Although the little boy is blind he is a sensation at singing and playing the piano. Reduced rates from Chicago over the North Shore line were obtained for those attending the celebration, and large numbers of Chicago folks attended the celebration. Refreshments were served all day. At the celebration last year more than 6,000 attended, according to Mr. Russell, so arrangements were made to the affair in Athletic park in order to accommodate the crowd. The committee in charge of the celebration included; W. W. MacFarlan, general manager; J. R. Allen, assistant manager; Mr. Russell, supervisor, and Mrs. M. Love, secretary.

During the war, applicants for pilots' commissions in the air service were placed in a rotating club. If the whirling made them dizzy they were regarded as normal. If it did not, it was supposed that the inner ear was defective. It is now believed by scientists of the council that the reverse is likely to be true and that the person who does not become dizzy is the more desirable candidate. Since the war the council has had several projects centering on the study of human factors in flight, and involving behavioristic experiments on men and animals (especially rats) anatomical, physiological and psychological WITH endorsements from President Harding, leading members of congress, and the interstate commerce commission, definite plans are under way for the establishment in Washington of a national transportation institute which will be headed by Edgar N. Clark, formerly chairman of the commission. A fund of $1,000,000, to be subscribed by both shippers and the railroads, to finance the project is the goal set by the organizers of the institute. Conceived originally by Bird M. Robinson, president of the American Short Line Railroad association, the plan now has the backing of Representative Anderson (Minn.), chairman of the joint commission of agricultural inquiry, which recently completed a most exhaustive investigation into the relation of transportation to agriculture, and Donald D. Conn, who acted as chief of the transportation division of the congressional commission. Widespread misinformation on the subject of transportation caused Mr. Robinson to reach the conclusion that there should be some organization that could speak with authority and yet without bias or prejudice on the subject. THE DUTY MAKES CANDY COST MORE INCREASED duties on almonds were approved by the senate over the protest of Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, who said that this was one of a number of items in the McCumber bill which will prove an unnecessary tax on the candy industry, making consumers pay higher prices. Senator Johnson of California, advocated the increased duties as essential for the protection of almond growers of his state. The duty was approved by a vote of 37 to 13. The new proposed rates is 5 cents per pound on unshelled and 15 cents per pound on shelled almonds. The house bill rates were 4 cents and 12 cents respectively. The duties in the present Underwood act are 3 and 4 cents. DRASTIC pruning of the political plum tree in Washington is Senator Borah's latest campaign. He began by offering a bill to reduce the membership of the shipping board from seven to three, thereby effecting a saving of $48,000 a year in salaries, which he declared were unnecessary. He gave notice that this was the first of a series of such measures "to put an end to soft jobs and high salaries which waste $100,000 a year." "There are seven members of the United States shipping board," he said. "They enjoy a salary of $12,000 each. After reading the hearings on the merchant marine bill one concludes that there is no justification for having seven high-salaried commissioners. If these were a business institution there would likely be only one, and that would be plenty. "To pay seven men $12,000 each to preside over the decrepit days, according to their own showing, of this moribund and money losing money squandering affair, is sheer waste of the tax-payers' money.

Senator Walsh enumerated a number of other items which hit the candy industry. These include walnuts, coconut meat, tartaric acid, flavoring extracts, and natural or synthetic fruit flavors, lemon oil, orange oil, peppermint oil, vanillin, egg albumen, and honey. "The capital investment of the candy industry is $350,000,000 and the industry employs 200,000 people," said Senator Walsh. "It is the twenty-eighth largest industry in the country. There are 77 raw materials used in it upon which a tariff duty is levied. "To what an amazing extent the duty on shelled almonds and walnuts—not to mention the 75 others—will burden the candy industry may be appreciated from this information: Six manufacturers of candy in Boston report that the increased duty on shelled almonds and walnuts will increase their cost for those nuts $185,500 annually. "Candy manufacturers are compelled to buy imported shelled almonds because the California production is only 15 per cent of the consumption. "These two tariffs will tax the candy manufacturers and bakers of the country about $3,160,000." IT NEEDS FRUNNING "Why not get rid of some commissioners—not that anyone has personal objections to them, but solely in the interest of economy. "In these times when the whole country is demanding relief from tax burdens, neither conscience nor common sense would permit this waste of money in high and unnecessary salaries. "But the shipping board is only an illustration of the situation in Washington. A million dollars could be saved annually by cutting down and cutting out commissions and unnecessary offices. We would have more efficient and more responsible public service."

Counterfeiting Is on Increase Entry of Women Into Profession of Making Spurious Money Adds New Problem. SECRET SERVICE IS WOBRIED In Counterfeiting Began Shortly After the Armistice and Has Been Growing Noticeably Since—More Opportunity. Washington, D. C.—Counterfeiting of money has increased to hitherto unprecedented proportions in the United States and is causing much concern to the secret service of the treasury, the federal agency charged with suppression of this species of crime. Of particular interest is the fact that for the first time in history, women have entered the counterfeiting profession, presenting new problems for the government experts. The increase in counterfeiting began shortly after the armistice and has been growing noticeably since. It is regarded as a part of the phenomena of crime which every great war brings in its wake. War Draft Thinned Banks. A curious effect of the war while it was being waged was that it resulted in almost complete suspension of money counterfeiting in the United States. There were two good reasons for this. First, native-born Americans are soldom found in the profession. It is a department of crime in which foreigners, and especially southern Europeans, engage. Under the reservoir system of military service which obtains in nearly all European countries, these foreigners, living and counterfeiting in the United States, were called to their home colors and thereby forced to abandon their profession here. In the second place, the war upset the channels of distribution of counterfeit money, and turned the thoughts of all men, including counterfeiters, to other things. But after the war the profession came back stronger than ever with many recruits. Four million Americans were under arms. They were taken to the war from their accustomed vocations and pursuits and put into a life which, despite its manifold hardships and dangers, was a life lacking in responsibility. No one in the army had to worry about earning money for his next meal. It came from the government, as much a matter of course as the sunrise. Also, the very idea of an army is the destruction of property and life. To be sure, it is the enemy's property which is to be destroyed, but among many youthful and irresponsible persons the fundamental idea of contempt for property rights persists and makes few bounds for itself. It was natural that among soldiers who for a year or two had followed this irresponsible existence there would be someone who lacked the force of character to return to the drudgery of hard work. They wanted easy money, so counterfeitting as well as other departments of crime received fresh recruits. More Money to Counterfeit Another strong reason for an increase in counterfeiting resulting from the war was that there was an increase in the number of kinds of money and securities to counterfeit. When there are only a few kinds of money in general use, the people become so familiar with their appearance that they quite readily detect any fault in design or general appearance. But when there are many new and unfamiliar kinds, the people are at a loss to know whether they have genuine money. Twelve federal reserve banks were established at the time the war began, and all issued currency of two kinds: federal reserve notes and federal reserve bank notes. Also, the treasury issued billions of dollars in Liberty bonds, Victory notes, war savings certificates, thrift stamps and treasury certificates of indebtedness. These were all new to the people and of unfamiliar design. They constituted a paradise for counterfeiters. Reprint on U. S. Paper. One of the most difficult obstacles for the counterfeiter is the distinctive paper on which government notes are printed. It is made by a secret process and has so individual an appearance and feeling that almost every one can detect a substitute. All denominations of American money are printed on notes of a uniform size. Therefore a favorite device of the counterfeiter is to take a $1 bill and raise its denomination. He will bleach it and have a piece of nearly white distinctive currency paper on which he will print a note of a higher denomination. Such notes are hard to detect, especially if the counterfeiter prints a $50 or $100 note of a new and unfamiliar series. Another scheme is to take a note and change only the figures. This proves a snare to the counterfeiter if he gives such a note to a man familiar with the designs of money. Such a man knows that a $20 note has a buffalo on its design, but no $50 or $100 issue has. This sort of counterfeiting has increased with the new money because the counterfeiters know that few people are familiar with the designs of the various new issues. The same is true of the Liberty bond issues. No two issues are alike, and a counterfeiter changing the denomination of a $100 bond to $1,000 could readily be detected by one who has studied bond designs. Experts in Secret Service. The secret service at Washington has many experts who are very hard to fool with even the cleverest counterfeit, and while counterfeiting has increased to a great extent, the circulation of counterfeit money has not done so. The new counterfeit issues are detected very early in their careers and the source discovered and stopped. It means more work and constant vigilance for the government agents and greatly increased investigative work. The appearance of women in the counterfeiting profession has caused the secret service many difficulties. The women are not engaged in the actual manufacture of counterfeits, but are confederates in the passing of the spurious currency. Counterfeiters seldom work alone in spite of the fact the records show that only the counterfeiter who plays a lone hand meets with success for any extended period. But it is hard to practice the profession singly. The great difficulty is in getting the counterfeit money into circulation. To accomplish this the master counterfeiter has accomplices.

Race to Lose Power of Walking, Warns Doctor Los Angeles.—The human race is destined to lose the power of walking if the present tendency continues to its ultimate conclusion, according to Dr. R. Kendrick Smith, who read a paper here on Friday at the national Osteopathic convention. Trolley cars began the retrograde process, he declared, and automobiles, elevators and innumerable other contrivances conspire to keep human beings off their feet. As a result, he said, we are becoming a race of weaklings from the hips down. Back to the woods in bare feet, with plenty of running, would make over the race, Dr. Smith said. tice is for the counterfeiter to sell his spurious money at a substantial discount. He will sell a $100 counterfeit bill to a passer for $50 of genuine money and of course no one is more expert in detecting spurious money than a counterfeiter. The passer then may make another sale, getting perhaps $75 in real money for his $100 counterfeit. Great care is taken not to let many of them get into circulation at the same place. Women Plead Ignorance. It is in this passing branch of the profession that women are being employed. They make valuable confederates because when detected they frequently escape arrest by claiming to know little about handling money and therefore are easily imposed upon. A curious psychological mystery about the whole profession of counterfeiting is that a really good counterfeiter requires skill of such a high order that he could earn a better living by honest employment of his talents than by the manufacture of spurious currency. Counterfeiting is a long, tedious process, beset with hard work and difficulties and it is rarely indeed that a counterfeiter makes as much money before he is apprehended as he could from regular honest employment as an engraver.-Frederic J. Haskin in Chicago Daily News. BEAUTIFY CITY OF BELGRADE Serbs Rush Work to Make Capital Worthy of New Nation—Many New Buildings. Belgrade, Jugo-Slavia.—To make this capital a worthy setting to the magnificent territorial patrimony to which they have fallen heir the Serbs are working swiftly. They are cutting new streets, paving them with asphalt instead of cobblestones and erecting new dwellings and public buildings. A prize of $75,000 was awarded recently for a new city plan. Fourteen hundred new buildings went up in 1921 and 4,000 are going up this year. A new hotel has just been completed opposite the station. It was begun before the war and used for barracks. But its walls have been replastered and the building was completed and opened two days before the wedding of King Alexander. The city is still overpopulated. Residence has been refused to 40,000 persons. Prices in the city are very high, and should the local money improve in value Belgrade will rival Constantinople as a city of huge expense for living. House rents are prohibitive for the native, and for the foreigner they range upward of $100 monthly.

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE A Question Answered What makes a nation truly great? Not strength of arms nor men of state, Nor vast domains by conquest won, That see not rise nor set of sun; Nor Sophists' schools nor learned clan Nor laws that bind the will of man! For these have proved in ages past, But futile dreams and could not last, While they that boast of such today, Are fallen, vanquished in the fray. Their fame is mingled with the dust, Their archieves, strained with crime and lust, And all that breathed of pomp and pride. Like the untimely Fig, has died. What makes a nation truly great?

E. Garnett Riley in Pittsburgh Courier Victims of Circumstances In instances, such as the railroad strike, the colored race is oftentimes victimized to an extent that creates racial disturbances. This was true in several instances in Milwaukee recently, where a number of colored men came from Chicago to fill the places of men on strike. Racial prejudice naturally arises. Immediately the colored man is looked upon as an encroacher, and an imposter, much more so than where men other than colored are brought in. In most cases, trouble is precipitated. Men on strike sometimes lose all reasoning powers. It is true that no man can be denied the right to earn a living, yet when colored men are brought in to displace strikers, the race immediately is made the butt of jeers and humanitarianism is entirely lost sight of. Our observation is that, generally speaking, it is not well for numbers of colored race to adopt migratory tactics. Any considerable movement from one place to another is the invitation for an outbreak of resentment usually merging into violence. The uplift of the colored man suffers in consequence. Nothing will so elevate our race as confining itself to its locality, building up its communities by educating its children, and fostering measures that will serve to elevate and advance the race. Local pride should be uppermost, and where this is manifest, colored communities brighter into a position of respect. Law and order local pride, interest in their own affairs, should be the aim of colored communities.

The Scandal Monger Next to the Stool Pigeon, if not equal to it, the most dreaded and contemptible creature in any decent community is the Scandal Monger or Social Scavenger. It can generate and circulate more unadulterated hell in five minutes than all the host of angels can quench in eternity. The Scandal Monger is the highest, most finished and at the same time the lowest and most shameless type of gossip or purveyor of vicious personalities. It is the common backyard-garden variety of gossip what the highly trained musical artist is to the mere beginner. To produce it, requires not only a native aptitude, but long training supplemented by a suitably vicious environment. Like the toadstool or fungus it thrives and reaches its highest stage of development in a damp atmosphere and noisesome atmosphere. Neither plant nor animal, it is a "thing" of uncertain origin and miserable finish. The natural prey of this foul caterer to human weaknesses are young girls just budding into womanhood and others, who have before them a life of promise. Yet men and women of maturer years, even gray haired grandfathers and grandmothers are not whole immune to their vile attacks. From the cradle to the grave, like a vulture, it camps upon the trail of the human family. To it, a suspicious against one of good repute, is proof as strong a holy writ; a mere suggestion, verification by boyd all question of doubt. Upon its long slimy tongue, a tit-bit of evil report is rolled like a bon-bon until it loses its savor by constant repeatings. In itself it supposes the entire world is unclean. In brief this is a picture of the Scandal Monger. Shun it. NOTICE! All news matter for the Blade must reach our office not later than Tuesday of each week to insure publication in the current issue.
