BIG VICTORY FOR THE RACE
Commission Votes Down Clarence
Poe's Race Segregation Plan.

The university commission on the
southern race question. which held its
meeting at Durham, n. c.. recently,
voted down Clarence Poe's proposition
for race segregation with decided
emphasis.
Mr.. Poes proposition included three
parties to the race problem, as follows:
First. the Negro: second. the wealthy
or professional white man unaffected
by Negro competitions: third. the poor
laboring white man who does and must
face such competition. Il would not
have less sympathy or thought for the
Negro. but more for the ged
white man." says Mr.. Poe in his pleas
to keep alive the flames OF race nreju-
dice.
II hope your commission Will study
this third factor and also inquire II
separate grouping does not encourage
better Negro leadership and communi-
ty life. Also make study OF mulatto
traits and achievements as distinguish
ed from pure Negro and inquire to
what extent mulattoes are increasing.

CELEBRATION At BETHEL
CHURCH

One of the most brilliant celebra-
tions of the fiftieth anniversary of
Negro Freedom was held on Sunday,
January End, at Bethel Church, Chi
cago, Illinois, under the auspices Of
the Fellowship League. The church
was crowded many minutes before
three o'clock with a seemingly enthusi-
astic audience. Interest was plainly
written on every face which is al
ways the case when A. H. Roberts is
the hero of the day. Promptly at
three o'clock the mammoth chorus
opened the celebration with a song
which seemed to shake the building
with it's splendor. Then the presi-
dent of the Fellowship League, Ida
B. Wells, gave brief survey of the
work of the League. The work of Ida
b. Wells is well known by the race
people of Chicago.
After remarks by two or three other
prominent people and selections by
the marvellous chorus, the main ora
tor of the day, A H. Roberts was an
nounced No need to say he was
greeted with great applause for it is
known fact that he is one of Races
foremost orators of today. He began
his Grafton by telling what the Eman-
cipation Proclamation means today
and what it meant when first declared.
How many of the slave holders cried
when they received word from Presi.
dent Lincoln to read the Proclamation
TO their slaves, And how the slaves
rejoiced when they heard that they
were free. The praises of God were
rung all over the plantations by the
voices of the slave and the song Free
at Last was rung throughout the
slave lands. Mr.. Roberts said from
that time on the Race has been dig
ging for themselves. Out of the bon.
dage of slavery has sprung the bril-
liant Race to today. of which we
should all be proud. Every race but
ours has had something to start with
and in spite of that fact we have risen
to marvellous heights and are still
| rising.
He said that what our Race is great
| ly in need of is cooperation. In the
recent mob event that occurred in
oklahoma, those two colored men
would not have been spared from the
clutches of the frenzied mob. If the
Race men and women had not cooper
ated with each other. That is what
we need-stickfastne and stick TO-
gether The Race of tomorrow is in
the hands of the young people OF TO-
day. 1t is up to you whether there
shall be advancement or decay. You
Young men and women are the future
leaders of the race, it is up to you,
shall this race discrimination continue
or shall it cease?
Mr. Roberts explained the thirteenth
and fourteenth amendments and con-
Guided his Grafton with futher appeais
10 the Race. The celebration was we'll
worth attending and l hope that IL
left as large AN impression upon tne
other members of the audience as it
did upon me.

ROADS PREPARE FOR STRIKE

Executives Abandon Hope For Peace.
fui Settlement and Make Plane
for Waste.

Chicago, Aug 31.-From all parts
OF the nation advices are being re-
ceived of extraordinary preparations
to meet the threatened nationwide
railroad strike.
The advices indicate that the rail-
road executives have abandoned hope
of peaceful settlement and the pre-
pairing for the worst.
Several great railroads have placed
embargoes on perishable freight indi-
eating that the lines feel unable to
guarantee scheduled deliveries. The
Santa Fe has prohibited the accept
ance of live stock as well as freight
on its lines, and other railroads are
contemplating similar action.
Receipt of other freight is subject
to indefinite delay, the Santa Fe noti-
fed its agents.
Several trunk lines operating out Of
Chicago have announced embargoes on
perishable freight and live stock, but
unlike the Santa Fe, are effective on
shipments subject to delivery after
September 2, indicating that the limes
expect the strike to be called on Sep
TENDER 4, as set in the strike order.
An official of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad said that the
embargo will be extended to all trunk
lines with few days.

They are:

strike.
The railway presidents favorable to
President Wilson's plan in the main,
think 1t would make it difficult for
the strike to begin.
Wilson Continues Efforts.
Meanwhile, although negotiations be-
tween the employers and men were
broken of Tuesday by the rejection
of the railway presidents latest pro-
posal for arbitration, President Wilson
is continuing his efforts to bring the
two sides together on some form of
agreement.
When the brotherhood leaders re-
jected the latest proposal to the rail-
roads and definitely set the strike for
Labor Day, without further notice,
President Wilson decided to lay the
whole situation before Congress.
