BOYCOTT OF SOUTHERN
RAILROADS BY NEGROES
(The Freeman)

A pacific boycott against South
ern railroads that discriminate
against the colored passenger-a
boycott which, if the startling fig
ures adduced be true, would cost
the railroads in question not less
than S12,OOO,0nO annually-is ad-
vocated bo Ralph W. Tyler, ma
tional organizer of the National
Business Mems League.
Mr.. Tyler, whose home was for
maliy Columbus, and who has been
active in Ohio politics for many
years, is best remembered as audi
tor for the Navy Department un-
der Presidents Roosevelt and Taft.
He has just completed as-three
months trip through Southern
States, and as the result of his
first hand observation has worked
out the plan of boycott, which is
being encouraged by the more
prominent Negroes of Washington,
D. c., and which is to receive ma
.ion-wide support.
BOYCOTT IS LEGITIMATE.
The boycott, used as Isuggest,
Mr.. Tyler explained, sis a legili-
mate weapon. If the wife of the
Secretary of State and the wife of
the Speaker of the House and
the wives of other prominent gov
ernment officials may inaugurate
boycott on eggs because the price
fixed By Tie merchants seems to
them inordinate, surely no violent
criticism may be leveled at the col
ored people for peacefully boycott
ting those Southern railroads
which furnish them accommoda-
tions that would not be tolerated
by health boards in Northern cit
les. l do not hesitate to say that
the accommodations supplied col
ored passengers by most of the
Southern railroads are adominable
a disgrace to civilization. The
coaches are filthy, toilet rooms do
not separate the sexes, and are SO
foul as to constitute a menace to
the health of white and black pass
engers alike.
In those Southern States
through which l have recently
travelled there are 6, 6,500,000 colored
men and more than 1000 colored
men are engaged in mercantile
pursuits. l have gathered statis-
tics and made certain calculations
which show that during the
last year the colored people aver
aged per Ca pita 50 73 for passen-
ger fare over Southern railroads,
total of SIT, 7,145, 600 for the $780,
OUO colored persons in those States.
PROTEST BROUGHT NO RELIEF
The colored merchants in the
States through which | travelled
also paid S44S, 900 for freight ship
ped over these roads during the
last year. This would make a
grand total of SIS, $4,000 paid to
Southern railroads by the Negroes
in these Southern sta es-not all
the Southern States, remember.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-02-07

In return for this sum of money
they are given coaches to ride in
which would be regarded as unfit
for the transportation of cattle.
The station waiting room accom-
modations fer colored travellers are
even worse. Respectful protest
has brought no relief and the peace
full boycott seems to be the only
weapon at hand.
The Jim crow" laws of the
Southern States in all instances
specifically provide that the colored
people shall be provided with sep
arate coaches or compartments
which shall be the equal in all
points of comfort and convenience
of the coaches furnished the
whites In every State through
which | have travelled this provis-
ion is a hollow mockery. The
colored coach or compartment is
invariably next to the baggage
car, where it catches aHtae smoke
and cinders from the engine and
where it acts as buffer in event
of wreck. Usually the compart-
ment is not large enough to ac-
commodate the passengers, and
frequently coIored passengers, af-
ter paying full fare, are forced to
stand througout the entire dura-
ton of their journey.
COACHES ARE CROWDED
Il have seen coaches for the col
ored people crowded to suffocation;
have seen 100 people herded in a
compartment which had seats for
bnt half that number. No matter
how well dressed or how cultured,
no colored man can secure Sleep
ing accommodations on a long ov-
er night ride The colored patrons
of Southern railroads pay the same
fare for inferior accommodations
that the white patrons pay for su-
perior accommodations. AS con-
sequence thousands of colored wo-
men have refused to use the rail-
roads of the South except in emer-
gencies. They refuse to travel for
pleasure for there can be no pleas
ure in travelling under conditions
such as ] have described If the
colored people of the South gener-
ally would adopt this policy and
this is the peaceful boycott which
is now Advocated if they were TO
travel only when driven to it by
necessity, the revenue derived by
Southern railroads from colored
passenger traffic could be reduced
70 per cent. 1t would cost the
railroads approximately Sl2,OO0,-
900 annually. If the temper of
the people with whom l came in
contact during my journey does
not change this will be made an is.
sue during the year 1914. The
white people Of the South are as
deeply interested as the colored,
for there is today no greater mem
ace to the health of the Southern
States than the waiting rooms and
the railroad coaches assigned to
color, d travellers. Sooner or later
the en- ire South must awake to
the fact that these are the breed
ers of plague and contagion and
that the price ultimately to be paid
will be paid in the lives of blacks
and whites alike"
The Colorado statesman., 1914-02-07

The Retail association has received 800 personal letters
Most of them from business who look upon the
luton of the controversy business proposition

Majority for Proposal Sure as Stampede
to Its Support Continues
Fact=Hungry Citizens Swarm to Meetings and Leave
Converts to Equitable Proposal

The first uncertainties the of the Retail
associations proposition for fair and equitable solution of
the controversy fast melting under the
ing reports from all parts of the city which pouring
into the associations campaign headquarters.
There longer any doubt about the of the
election February H. The people of Denver

They are now convinced that the only in which
these results accomplished is the Retail
ciations measures buy plant and stop quarrel
ing among political factions which making the controversy
serve their private ends.
Public Sentiment Changes

who general charge Of the headquarters says that the

made binding agreement to the construction will put

ask for its plant worked wonderful change public
sentiment People who had been scared away by the absurd
tales told by the opposition see the aacy of these false

NEW YORK EXPERT
 REVIEWS SITUATION IN FINANCIAL WORLD

(The Barron Financial News Service.)
 New York, Nov 1s=Some of the financial interests who have had charge of the adjustment of bond prices to the new conditions believe that stocks could now be similarly adz justed. They say the collateral loan situation is in shape to stand such ad- justment, and also that we are now able to take care of foreign liquida- ton. It would be better to effect it now, in their opinion, than later, for with security prices on the upgrade, there is no reason to wait and pay the foreigners higher prices for the stocks they want to sell back to us Opening of the Stock Exchange, they feel, is now only a matter of a short time, and the sooner it comes the better. If transfer trading in bonds to the floor of the Exchange will aid in the resumption of stock trading they say there is no reason why it should not be done.
 At the annual tockhoIders' meeting of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, stockholders unanim mously approved the plan to place a general refunding Improvement mortgage to the amount of $500. 100000 upon the property as well as the purchase subsidiary lines of the company in Ohio. There was represented at the meeting more than 72 per cent of the total out standing stock. Representatives of investors were present from England and France, and proxies were voted for investors residing in other Eprr pean countries. John R. Morren. oa New York. was elected a directnr 10 succeed James Stillman, resignel. MT. Morren represents holdings of Ger man banks in Berlin. Other direct ors were reelected.
 Returns for September of fifty rep 160,000 miles in all sections of the country. show a decrease in gross earnings of 3s32 per cent while net earnings increaser 2-61 per cent. This comprises with a decrease in gross of 3.10 per cent. and an increase in net of 3.20 per cent for August. 45
 While the heads of the large in dustrial corporations are not exactly optimistic. they are more hopeful than they have been since the beginning of the European war. Sentiment began to improve after the November Con gressional elections, and while there has been no great thrush of new or ders. a gradual improvement has been noted in a number of lines of trade. Slight gains have been recorded which in many branches are not due to
