WANT STANDEES BARRED
Fireman Causes Clash at Metro
poIitan Opera House.
HIS ORDER NOT REGARDED
Business Controller of Organiza-
tion and Commissioner Waldo
Hold Conference.

Such a large crowd turned out to hear
Wagner's '"Lohengrin'' at its first pro-
duction Of the season last night at the
Metropolitan Opera House that it caused
a clash between John Brown, business
controller of the opera company, and
the fireman stationed at the house over
the standees in the corridor behind the
orchestra seats.
Mr.. Brown arrived at the opera house
shortly before the rise of the curtain.
and was told that the fremen had or
dered the ushers to admit no standees
in the corridor back of the orchestra
seats Mr.. Brown at once told the ush-
ers to admit as many standees as ar
rived until further orders from him.
The fireman protested at this. saying
that he had received orders not 70 al
low any standees IN the corridor. but
Mr.. Brown replied that he had received
no order from the Fire Department, and
would continue TO admit standees- until
he received such an order
The fireman then left the building, re-
turning shortly afterward with Fire
Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo. who
after a conference with Mr. Brown said
that he would give his decision to-mor-
row in regard to the standees-
Mr.. Brown said later in the evening
that he had no doubt as to the outcome
of the dispute.
IF we are forbidden to use the corri-
dor back of the orchestra seats il viii
be impossible for US to admit standees,
said Mr.. Brown This corridor is not
the circulation corridor, but was built
expressly for standees- The circulation
is behind this. is twelve feet wide. and is
always kept clear. The Fire Depart
ment has protested twice before in this
same matter, and both times we have
won. We shall continue to admit
standees until it is proved that We are
wrong.
MIR. Waldo was very courteous in the
matter and l believe he will see the mat
ter in the same light in which We see it,
If he does not we will fight the matter
out in the courts.

ALARMING CONDITIONS.

stemons' Strong Plea For Equal Indus
trial Chances For Afro-Amsrieans.
At a recent meeting Of the Negro
Baptist ministers conference, which
was held in the Union Baptist church,
Philadelphia, James s. StemOns in
speech on the Industrial Crisis Con-
fronting the Negro and How to Avert
IT. said:
Little as we may think OF IT, our
very physical existence in this country
Is graVely threatened by the persistent
manner in which we are being exclud-
ed from every opportunity Of working
to make an honest living. We are be
ing segregated and showed aside in all
things, embracing the most vital rights
and interests Of the human race.
More than this. these selfsame cOndi-
lions are demoraliZing and degrading
and degenerating the race as fast as
the wheels Of time can roll. l know
and you know that there are countless
thousands Of Negro youths, young men
and young women, who absolutely re-
fuse to expend time ard money in
training and fitting themselves for the
higher walks Of life and who are be-
coming depraved and reckless and
criminal because Of the persistent
manner in which every door Of oppOr-
tunity is being slammed in their
faces"
To avert this calamity Mr.. Stemons
proposed the holding OF a mass meet
ing which would appeal to churches OF
all -creeds. He suggested that the
white churches should aid the Negro
by asking their members to sign
pledge to break down the barriers
which prevent men on account Of color
from engaging in various branches OF
manual labor.
