WALTERS FED IN BASEMENT
LIKE CATTLE
(From Chicago Defender)


Apropos of the recent strike of
the white walters in New York
City and the employment of Ne
gro walters in their stead it brings
to mind the deplorable conditions
that exist in hotels in Chicago
that still employs Negro walters.
A careful investigation based up
on recent article in one of our
daily newspapers shows that the
so-called family hotels in the Hyde
Park district are the most motor
ious in their treatment of their
walters and their bellmen.
In one of the most widely adver-
tised hotels in this section the
walters call their dining room
"the dog house." Their dining
room is under the pavement, poor
ly lighted and ventilated. A long
table covered with oil cloth runs
the length of the room. An an
tiquated steam table keeps warm
the "bill of fare" intended for "the
Niggers' three times day.
The course morning meal of oat
meal or steak along side of which
leather is tender, and coffee only
in name is served to the elaborate
dinner of stew or hash. The man.
agement takes pride in declaring
that his walters have no right to
eat anything else because he furn-
ishes them the best of meals
Occasionally the chef cook, still
happy from a night at White City,
puts on new stunt and they have
"pork and beans" But ''the
stew" is a favorite dish. 1t gen
orally comes down in dish pans,
but those hungry souls, fearful of
taking a crust of bread from the
dining room above are compelled
to be content with this dirty mess.
Many of the walters have been ill
after eating in these Hyde Park

protect wage-earners engaged in
dangerous occupations; to erect
comprehensive and generous work
meI's compensation laws in place
of the present wasteful and un-
just system of employers liability,
and in all possible ways to satisfy
the just demand of the people for
the study and solution of the COM
plex and constantly changing
problems of social welfare" The
platform ''reaffirms" the party's
intention to uphold the authority
and integrity of the courts"
The tariff plank contains reatfir-
nation of the. party's protective
policy and asks for import duties
high enough to yeild a sufficient
revenue and to protect adequately
American industries and wages.
''Some of the existing import du-
ties are too high and should be re-
duced. REIMBURSEMENT should be
made from time to time to con-
form to changing conditions and
to reduce excessive rates, but
without injury to any American
industry. To accomplish this cor
rect information is indispensable.
This information can best be OBJ
tanned by an expert commission" ?"

TO MAKE RELICS
OF SLAVE DAYS

Carlisle, Pa, June 29.-Mem.
bers of the Cumberland County
Historical Society are initiating
a movement to mark in some fit
ing manner the famous old land
marks fast being razed, that at one
time played important parts in the
underground railroad system" "
which prior to the Civil War,
made the Cumberland Valley fa-
nous.
The underground roads were in
operation as early as 1873, The
mountains of Southern Pennsyl-
yania made the Cumberland Vail
ey a natural route for runaway
slaves. One of the principal sta
tions of the road" was at Boiling
Springs, where Daniel Kaufman
was agent from 1885 to 1913.
Kaufman lived near a thick woods
IN which he hid the fugitives, and

Over 5000 voices were heard in
the great Saengerfest Chorus
Tuesday night at the great Con-
vention Hall, Broad street and AL
legbeny avenue. President Taft
was present and the audience 20,-
600 in number joined in singing
THE Star Spangled Banner"
The huge chorus of 25,000 voices
could be heard for several miles
away. The national meeting of
the Saengerfest Chorus had the
honor of being the first to meet in
the new Convention Hall, which
was completed last week. 1t
would be great movement if we
could arrange national meeting
Of colored chorus to assemble in

numder of choruses in the several
parts of the country and it would
be a rare musical treat to hear
them in united grand chorus.
If Nine. Hackley continues to or
ganize colored choruses it will on
ly be a short time before we could

often in inclement weather he used
his house and barn as hiding plac-
es. Other agents who were in
strrmental in helping the slaves
were Stephen Weekly, Philip
Brechbill and Mode Griffin.
On one occasion Griffin found
nine colored men on ridge near
Boiling Springs. Another party
of thirteen, guided by Cole, free
colored man from Chambersburg,
appeared at Kaufman's on Novem-
Der 10, 1S47. These had travelled
thr 'ugh Shippensburg and Miller's
Furnace at Huntsdale, down the
Walnut Bottom, finally arriving at
Burgholder's Cider Press, where
they were directed to Kaufman's.
Having travelled by daylight Kauf-
man was compelled to pass them
on quickly. That night he sent
them to Harrisburg.
For this otfense Kaufman was
prosecuted in the District Court
and fined $1,000. The case was
appealed and the decision was re-
versed because the offense was in
violation of the fugitive slave law
and should have been tried in the
United States Court. He with
Breechbill and Weekly was pro-
secuted and after three trials was
fined S2,SOO. Sympathizers sub
scribed 81, 800 toward the payment
of the fine and cost, which amount
ed to $4,191.
The suit seemed to have cooled
Kaufman's ardor, for the control
of the road" passed to Richard
Woods, John Morrison, Stephen
Weekly and John Hardee. The
route through the country was
also changed, due probably to the
increased animosity of the Nc
Chinook riot in Carlisle in lS47
and the prosecution of Kaufman.
This route which closely follow
ed the mountains and avoided the
public highways, although more
difficult to travel, was more secure

No regular time table existed.
When fugitives appeared at the
Woods station John Harder would
load up his old fashioned Cones
toga market wagon and go to Har-
risburg to Market, where he would
unload his human produce. Har-
der being market man and
Democrat, hisconnection with the
underground railroad was never
suspected.

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS
LEAGUE.
To Be Held IN Chicago.-DeIegates
From Nearly EVery State in the
Union to Be Present. - Local
Chicago Committees at Work.

The Thirteenth Annual Meeting
cf the National Negro Business
League will be held in Chicago on
Wednesday,, Thursday and Fri
day, August 21, % and %, 1912.
The local Negro Business League
of Chicago has secured the Sew
enth Regiment Armory for the ses-
sionS.
Delegates intending to be pres
ent should, as early as practicable,
notify w. d. Neighbors, Secretary
Chicago Negro Business League,
3517 State Street, Chicago, of such
intention, so that proper accommo-
dations may be reserved.
Last year, nearly every state in
the Union was represented at the
annual meeting held in Little Rock.
Officers of the organization are
now earnestly at work to secure at
Chicago an even larger gathering.
The Little Rock meeting set high
standard in point of attendance,
attractiveness of program. and hos
pitality of its citizens. but the Chi
cago League is striving to have the
coming meeting surpass all previ-
Gus ones. The Chicago Chamber of
Commerce joined with the Local
Negro Business League in inviting
the National Organization to meet
in Chicago, and is cooperating to
welcome and entertain those who
may attend.
Very low reduced rates will be
offered from all parts of the coun-
try, and especially from the South,
for the meeting. Local Leagues
are urged to elect delegates at once.
Experience has shown that the rail
road authorities in every section of
the country are willing to arrange
for special Pullman or Tourist
Car parties. 1t is earnestly desir-
ed that plans for such parties be
arranged for as early as practica-
BILE.
Some Of the strongest men and
women of the Negro race will be
present and speak at the coming
meeting. These gatherings annual
ly bring together group of hope
full, energetic, aspiring and success
full men an women who are
doing their part of the worlds

lowing affiliated organizations will
be held at the same time: The Nat
ional Negro Bankers association;

tors association; the National Ne
gro Press association, and the Nat
ional Negro, Bar association - a
group of the strongest organiza-
tions in the country among the Ne
gro people.

THE TAFT
TICKET

Endorsement as deserved tribute,
as vindication of the constitu-
ton, as a retention of party ideals
Once more the st. Louis Globe
Democrat sees the Republican flag
waving sin decisive triumph over
menacing and sinister forces"
But all these Republican papers,
as for instance, the Buffalo Ex-
press, the Dayton Journal, the
Pittsburg Dispatch and Chronical
Telegraph, and the Baltimore
American, at least tacitly admit
the possibility of defeat.

Governor Hadley's statement
that the Chicago platform, which
he helped to draw up, is on the
whole "the most progressive plat
form we have ever presented to
the American people," is loudly
echoed by the Taft press The
! platform seems mastery, strong,
and sensible TO the Taft Republi-
, can Dayton journal. Any Re-
publican can stand on it, aver the
Pittsburg Chronicle. Telegraph and
Philadelphia Inquirer and News
Nay, it is even "broad enough, fair
enough, progressive enough to
suit any American who cares more
for his great country than his
small SELF" remarks the San Fran
cisco Call.
The tariff plank is especially
pleasing to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. "In declaring pro.
tective duties vital to the mainte-
| nance of the American working
mans higher standards of living,
the Republican platform strikes
: the keynote of the party's posi-
tion on the question. On it "the
Republicans will be able to make
a winning campaign" To the
Albany journal, owned by Mr..
Barnes, the keynote clause was
that calling for "self-controlled
representative government"
A summary of this platform SO
vigorously assailed by its foes
and SO earnestly defended by its
friends, this document framed by
committee including such men as
ex-Vice President Fairbanks,
Nicholas Murray Butler and Gov
ernor Hadley, follows:
After emphatically stating its
belief in "our self-controlled rep
resentative democracy, which is IA
government of laws, not of men,
and in which order is the prere-
quisite of progress" the platform
goes on to declare that the party
is one of advancing and construc-
tive craftsmanship which will
strive in the states as well as in
the nation ito erect the necessary
legislation to safeguard the pub
lie health; to limit effectively the
labor of women and children; to

If the fight at Chicago really
stiffened Repu blican determina-
ton and hardened soft muscles
for the fray, as the Boston Tran
scrip (Ind Rep.) optimistically be-
lieves, instead of hopelessly weak
eniug and dividing the party, this
fact may explain the confidence
now shown by many Taft support
ers. Undismayed by gleeful Dem
ocrats and boiling Progressives,
these editors point to Taft and
Sherman as winning ticket, and
to the Chicago platform as nigh.
ty asset in the campaign, docu-
ment whose progressiveness is
guaranteed by men like Governor
Hadly of Missouri. Sharing the
notable optimism of the Philadel-
phia Telegraph (Rep) and Mil
waukee Sentinel (Rep.) the Den
yer Republican stoutly asserts that
"the right thing has been done
Taft will be reelected" In nom-
mating Taft and Sherman "the
Republican party has put forward
the strongest names it could offer
for the ticket" in the opinion OF
the Detroit Free Press Qnd. }.
The Washington Herald (lnd.) J,
too, is thoroughly convinced that
"the Republicans can and will
elect Taft" Such confidence is gen.
orally accompanied by approving
of the acts of the Taft administra-
ton, and a belief that the koose-
velt party will cut hut small fig
ure in the campaign.
And there are host of papers
which, while less inclined to prop
hesy success in the November
election, are no less certain that
, the result at Chicago was in itself
a great moral victory, and that
the party owed it to itself to give
Mr.. Taft a denomination. In
words not unlike the Presidents S
own. the Kansas City Journal calls
it the greatest triumph since the
organization of the party. Going
a step farther, the Chicago Inter
Ocean calls for an outburst of
thanksgiving upon the part of ''ev-
ery patriotic and sober minded
American''-for 1.-THE greatest dan
Ger that has menaced this Repub-
lie since Secession died at Appo-
matox has been averted." This,
il adds, sis the meaning of the re-
lection of Theodore Roosevelt and
all his works and ways, and of the
denomination of William Howard
Taft on platform of stalwart Re-
publicanism by the Republican
National convention" Yet even
the Inter Ocean deems it idle to
ignore the difficulties of Mr.. Taft's
election - And the same idea
seems to haunt the minds of other
loval supporters who acclaim his

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
SixtyFive Counties Will Have Appropriations
For Farmers Benefit.

Little Rock, Nov. 25.-More than
$4,000 is now practically assured
for the furtherance of the agricultu-
raj demonstration work in Arkan-
sas next year, according to c. W..
Watson, State Demonstration
Agent. This sum includes all
funds donated by the counties and
by Federal aid.
The Importance of this work"
said Mr. Watson, lis becoming more
evident to the farmers every day,
and this year it appears that Ark
ansas will have more counties CO.
operating in the agricultural dem
onstration department than ever
before. Indications are that sixty
five counties will make appropria-
tons for demonstration work, either
through the levying court Or some
commercial organization. This
leaves only ten counties in which
we must do missionary work to
prove the value of our work"
COUNTIES COOPERATING
The following counties have al
ready through their levyine courts
appropriated funds to the demon
stration work. Other counties will
undoubtedly cooperate with the
work through commercial oreaniza-
tons. Those counties having al
ready made appropriations are;
