BY virtue of treaty made be.

Miss Madeleine Davis, who was
roughly handled in an uptown
moving picture theatre at 18th and
Columbia Ave. Seven weeks ago
we called the readers of the Tri-
bune attention to this case. When
one of our most cultured and self
respecting young ladies was pulled
out of her seat in the threatre,
when she refused to set where Or
dered by the ushers. Miss Davis
contented that the management
had no right TO try to compel her
to take any designated seat, where
no specified seat was sold.
The lower court has sustained
Miss Davis's contention, and the
principals have been held for court
to answer charges Of assault and
battery.
This action will be followed up
by civil action against the proprie-
tor ofthe house.
Every means and method was
tried to Illustrate justice. Josesh

all in his power to help out the Of
ficers hands, bnt vert so far as to
purger himself before the court.

right to drag me around as they

INFLUXOF
MEXICANS
INTO u. S

ing of Mexican from one house
to another is but matter OF few
moments. Many of their homes
do not even contain chairs they
squat on the floor as the red men
squat in their tepee.
There is nothing common be
tween the Mexican peon, who has
arrived and is arriving in this state
daily, and then slowly but surely
moving north ward, and the Afro
American. The Afro-American
down here regards himself as be-
ing superior TO the grossly litter
ate and greasy Mexican peon; and
the peon, taciturn and seclusive,
gives no'indication of desire to
affiliate with him. He indicates
no desire to affiliate with any race.
They are content to be let alone
with their own. On all the rail
roads, no matter how filthy nor
dark of skin-the Mexican peon
rides in the same coach with the
whites, and that too without COM
plant from the whites, while Afro
Americans, no matter how cleanly
and genteelly attired or how cul-
tured, are forced into the same
compartment labeled For Negro
es." Verify, the Mexican revolu-
tion which has emplied into Amer
leans melting pot thousands upon
thousands of Mexican poems, pre-
sents a most seriously menacing
problem to the unskilled Afro
American laborer, not alone in
this, the Lone Star State. And
this menace, fully realized and APP
preciated by the race, suggests to
the local business leagues in this
section increased activity, and
greater race co. operation.
The Mexican who, for the past
three years has revealed in the
murder and outrage Of Americans
on Mexican soil, and confiscations
of American property located in
the Aztec county, are now free to
cross the Rio Grande, and once
over the divide, southern munich
palities, southern railroads and
corporations reward these brigands
of yesterday with employment, in
preference to the Afro American
who heretofore has been the strong
willing and docile OK. This coun-
try will soon have, if not already
a Mexican problem on the north
side Of the Rio Grande more SER
lous than the one now confront
ing it on the south side.
The Mexican peon who litter
racy is far lower than was the races
fifty years ago, and whose instinct
training and tendency is inclined
to treachery, brigandage, cold

San Antonio, Tex May 6 - The
Mexican revolution which has i'm
poverished Mexico and resulted in
untold misery and slaughter of
human beings, not only now pre-
sents problem for this country,
but the influx OF Mexican refugees
into this country who have fled,
and are fleeing from their country
to escape conscriptiou, presents a
very grave and menacing problem
for the Afro Americans, especially
of this state, and even for those as
far west as Kansas. These thous-
ands of Mexicans that have arrived
and are arriving daily into Texas,
constitute a menance to race labor
in that they are driving the Afro
Americans, out of employment on
city work, public buildings, rail
road construction work, farm work
and other work upon which he has
heretofore almost exclusively been
employed. In this city the Mexi-
can population has increased to
quite one-third of the total city
population. In nearly all the con
struction work here, and to a large
degree throughout the state, the
Mexican has driven the Afro
American out because he works
cheaper, and is able to live cheap
er than the Afro. American being
unable to adjust himself to the
filth and squalor to which the
Mexican peon is Indifferent.
LIVES CHEAPLY IN SHACKS
Not only is the Mexican driving
the race out of construction work,
but as drivers of delivery wagons,
autos, and carts he is doing the
same thing. And he is found
serving as porter and cleaner
around railroad stations. Practi-
cally all the railroads running
through, as well as city lines, are
employing Mexicans on construc-
ton work, to the exclusion of Afro
Americans. In Houston, Temple,
Waco, Dallas, Fort Worth, and
other Texas towns the Mexican
peon threatens to- supplant Afro
American labor. Even in Missou-
ri and Kansas the Mexican peon
as a railroad construction hand is
beginning to present menaclng
problem for unskilled race labor.
The Mexican peon lives cheaply
in shacks with scarcely no furni-
ture. So scant is the furniture in
their homes that when they decide
to yacate one house to occupy
another they can almost initiate
the legendary Arab, who, in the
silence of the night folded his tent
and quietly stole away. The NOV

There ere some sixty thousand
Negroes in Chicago. The number
has doubled in the last 10 years.
This increase has ccme almost
wholly from the South. This fact
has to be considered in every
problem which has to do With
church comfy The social and
economic pressure which stimula-
ted this migration is increasingly
active in spite of the fact that in
the last ten years the Negro has
gradually lost almost every occu-
patton that was originally his in
the northern cities. Chicago, how
ever, still has the reputation ''of
offering the largest liberty to all
citizens of all colors and languages
of any community in the North"
Over forty five thousand of these
Negroes live on Chicago's South
side. In the district bordered on
the north by Twenty-seventh street
and on the south by Fiity-seventh
street, extending three blocks east
ward and westward are ten of the
leading Negro Baptist churches
and seven Baptist missions with
an aggregate membership of 5000,
and with Sunday school atten-
dance that would add 1000 more.
