Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 4.-Final tests
are being made at the speedway here
today and when the drivers have re.

will be in readiness for the start of the

Saturday afternoon.
That the greater number of the cars

the result Of yesterdays speed trials,
when time ranging from SO to 100 miles

in his Crawford, reeled off better than
the latter figure.
But two of the racers are TO take

6,OOO SEAMEN MAY
TAKE PART IN STRIKE
International Seamen's Union
May Go Out If Railroad
Men Do

New York, Aug. 4.-Unless demands
now before shipping companies are
granted, the International Seamen s
Union with membership of $4,000
on the Great Lakes, the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts, will strige "when the
big four railroad brotnerhoods go out "
as the latter threaten to do. This an
nOuncement was made to the United
Press by G. d. Brown, secretary of
the international union.
1--WE have long had our plans laid",
said Brown. "We also have long had
grievances that must be remedied. To
strike at a time when every mile of
railroad track in the country is rust
ing through non.use, would be the best
time for us to win.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 4.-Ten thous-
and lake seamen may strike with the
four railroad brother hoods if the
trainmen decide to call nation wide
strike, George Martin, business agent
of the Lake Seamen s Union declared
here today.
"National officers of the seamen S
union will come from New York tomOr-
row for conference with the local
union,' Martin said. 'We are de-
termined to bring about abolition of
the blacklist and get wage increases -
Martin stated that it is very prob
able demands Of the seamen will be for
mulated and presented to shippers
about the same time the conference
in New York brings the railroad sit
uation to n climax.

ton and equitable distribution.
3. Finally: Cancellation is wise and
proper. But how far shall it go? It
is here that the Crisis confesses to it's
deepest solicitude in your case. It
cannot but remember it's unanswered
query of you in the case of the St.

heading of a Rochester paper which
gives as your opinion that from

assert that the South was maligned
usually at the North, and above all
that you did not say that you had nc
sympathy with the attempt of mem
bers of your family to ride on Pull
man cars in the South.
The Crisis knows only too we'll the
way in which Southern newspapers
put such sentiments into the mouths
of colored leaders; but the point upo1
which we insist is this: that suc1
atrocious statements cannot be al
ways passed in silence
We do not wish the principal O
Tuskegee to spend his valuable tim,
in answering calumnies and misstate
ments, but we do believe that whel
so monstrous a statement is made, a
in the case of the Pullman car, some
thing besides silence and acquiescenc
is called for.
We hope to see, therefore, at Tus
kegee in the future a carrying GU

come to terms of understanding wit
the best of the white South; but t
T these policies we hope to see added
policy of making it clearly understoo

(From the Boston Guardian,)

1t is said that Major r. R. Motion,
principal of the Tuskegee Institute,
condones the recent outrageous treat
ment of his wife who was ousted from
a Pullman sleeper in Alabama and
compelled to ride in the "jimcrow" car
because of her color.
If Major Motion is willing to con-
done such an outrage it is evidence
that he is not the man to be at the
head of a great institution for the
training of young colored men,"
The first thing to be taught orr
youth is manhood, for without that
they can never amount to ANYTHING
and man who does not resent an. at.

THE NOTION INCIDENT.
(FrOm the Cleveland Gazette.

Major Robert Motion has recently
been Installed as principal of Tuske-
gee, Ala, N. and I. Institute. He
made favorable impression while
here in Rochester. Everyone regrets
to know that his wife was subjected
to such brutal treatment as to be
driven out of Pullman car in Ala
bama. 1t appears, according to re-
ports, that the riding in Pullman
car by the Motions had been a subject
of discussion before the journey was
begun. Mrs. Motion felt that she was
clearly within her rights to ride in
Pullman car anywhere it went. The
white passengers complained of her
presence and when everything was
opportune, they depended upon the
usual law-breaking officials of Alabama
to drive a defenseless woman out of
the car, in which she could travel with
comfort and ease, into a "jim-crow"
car, where vermin dwelt. It is very
unfortunate for the white passengers
that their selfish ease and\ comfort
had made them snobs to the extent
that they objected to the presence of
the wife of the principal of Tuskegee

school that the country says is "the

woman could be so robbed of the milk

that she would urge the driving of a

she had purchased, which the com.
pany had, accepted the money for, in
order that white supremacy might get
another boost? Above all do we re-
greet the reported statement issued by
Major Motion. He did not stand by
his wife in her fight for her rights
He advised the submission to in

What more is needed to make a man
resentful than an attack on his wife?
A being who would not defend his wife
against every foe is unworthy to be
called man. Even among the lower
animals the males willingly give up
their lives in defense of their mates.
The present unhappy state of the
colored people in the United States is
largely due to the servile tactics of
the so-called leaders who have been
not only too cowardly to defend them
selves when attacked but. have actu-

After having been granted Pullman

Blanton Motion, his brother, were

Pullman fares and were interstate pas

This paper has no retraction to
make in the Major Motion affair. It
thought then and knows now that no
improvement was made by his pro-
motion. Booker T.. Washington's pal
liation gave us double work for man
hood rights not only in the South but
the North as well for untold years to
come, and his successors ambition is
to be patted on the back and be called
"a good darkey'-to the lower regions

RUSSIA NOTION.
(FrOm the Crisis.)

The Crisis hastens to extend to you
on your accession to the headship of
Tuskegee the assurances of it's good
will and personal respect. The Crisis
does this all the more willingly be-
cause it has to some extent been the
mouthpiece of many who have had &C.
casion repeatedly to criticize the
words and deeds of your predecessor.
1t would be matter of hope and
rejoicing if your assumption of new
duties could be the beginning of a
new era of union and understanding
among the various groups of Ameri-
can Negroes.
But understanding and cooperation
must be based on frank conference
and clear knowledge. AS a prelimi-
nary step to such understanding the
Crisis ventures in this open letter to
express to you publicly it's hopes and
FEARS. HA1
1t hopes that the aims of the col
Ored American have become suffi-
GENTLY clear to admit of no misunder-
standing or misstatement. We desire
to become American citizens with
every right that pertains to citizen

1. The right to vote and hold office
2. Equality before the law.
3. Equal civil rights in all public
places, and in all public services.
4. A proportional share in the bene
fits of all public expenditures.
5. Education according to ability
and aptitude.
With these rights we correlate oul
duties as men and citizens-the aboli
ton of poverty, the emancipation O.
women, the suppression of crime ant
the overcoming of ignorance.
The Crisis assumes indeed, i
knows-that in these matters you be
lieve substantially, as we do, and tina
the real differences between us, i

We assume, without demur, tina

phasis on vocational training, prof.

and against these the Crisis speak
