WALTERS WANT MORE WAGES

The walters, who have been doing
extra work at the various hotels, are
asking for more wages. The increased
cost of living and the salaries paid to
laborers in other employment justifia
their demand. They should get at
least $500 for a days services, even
IL employed only one meal. The prep
aration for the job, the time lost for
other work, the advance protection
given their employers by booking a
day or SO ahead" with the services
rendered, are we'll worth few dol
lars. An extra walters expenses can.
not be met with a dollar a meal, and
that only about twice a week. There
are too many places for working men
now, where good salaries obtain, and
good walters will be wanted. II they
are not paid better wages.

THE new YEAR
1913

The colored American has every
reason to take courage. The pas,
year may have taken something ava,
but it gave more than it took.
From the Twenty-fourth infantry
we have lost three score of the best
soldiers in the world, who, UP to the
bear-baiting of Houston, had an en-
viable record for discipline and sol
dierly courtesy.-But we have gained
the unprecedented total of 78O colored
commissioned officers in the United
States army and have an equal status
for service in the ranks.
We have heard the greatest Court OF
the land, by an obiter dictum, re-affirm
its approval of ordinary Jim Crow
ism. But the same court at the
same time wiped out the very worst
form Of Jim Crow" in the segrega
ton ordinance, and removed from us
the threat Of an American Ghetto.
We had East st. Louis, a supremacy
savage effort to beat us back indus
trially.-But far from being beaten
back, we have broken down the indus
trial wall that hemmed us in the
Southeast, and have sent our hardy
cohorts to every Industrial center of
the greatest industrial nation. =
We have Chester in Pennsylvania,
and Memphis in Tennessee. o, yes,
Memphis with all the savage instincts
that still infest its purlieus.-But we
also have Detroit in Michigan and we
still have and have still better the Har-
lem in New FORK City-THE Harlem!
We have to pay more for our butter
and eggs-but we have more to pay
with. What boots it to the colored
man If eggs be dime a dozen and
his. wages so low and his chances to
work so slim that he cannot spare
the ten cents? 1t were far better for
him that eggs should Sill at fifty cents
dozen, if he can earn from three
to five dollars a day.
We are still stalked by the shadow
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS segrega-
tion.-But in substance we are repre-
sented in every department of gov
eminent service, and have high civil
officer in the war department.
AS racial element in the world
war we have earned the hate of Ger
many.-But we have deepened the love
Of France. And one of the acknowl-
edged assets of America is our loyalty
and magnanimity.
Like all the gentle folk of the world
we stand Mortified and aghast at this
World War and world murder.-But
the colored American has gained, in
both material and immaterial goods,
and will gain proportionately more
from this world conflict perhaps, than
any other single element in the world.

1t is time for the promoters of pa
triotiC benefits to entertain their pa
irons with some real amusements.
We have some high class musical and
literary talent among our race in the
Twin Cities, and the people would
have a good chance to hear them. The
Star REFUSED to take part in the
st. Paul Armory affair on Jan. Sth for
one reason, !. e., 1t appears to be
more of a political than patriotic pro-
gram. Why not have a concert be-
fore the dance? Charlie Miller can
produce the talent so much enjoyed by
all classes Why not have Hon. Ros-
coe Conkling Simmonds, the great or.
ator. who is being heard everywhere,
visit the state while this patriotic
spirit is aroused. We want the boys
to have all financial aid possible, and
hope that hereafter the promoters will
recognize that our people wish to ne
entertained sometimes by our people,
and not always by office seekers and Of
flee holders. Let some of these who
"love the Negroes" send their patriot
ic check for our boys or buy bunch
of tickets to hear good Negro talent;
instead of buying tickets to get a
good crowd present for them to speak
to. AS long as few of our promin-
ent white friends can assemble a
crowd of our people on any pretext,
there will always be few Negroes to
'git it up" because de white folks
says, it's big thing" and tickets are
selling mighty fast
There is no intent on our part to
cast any reflections on the speakers.
Some are real friends of the Negro
citizens, other are supposed to be. We
privately expressed our opinion to the
management and they withdrew their
advertisement even threatened us
with disloyalty proceedings. The edi.
tor of the Star welcomes all investi.
cation and asks that the committee
will send the money to the boys and
not make it a profit sharing PROPOSE
ton, under the guise Of patriotism.

THE SUNDAY FORUMS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Leads In Social, Civic, Charitable and
Patriotic Work.

The work of the Sunday Forum in
the month of December was credit
to the organization. Under the eff
cient leadership of President w. c.
Jnffrey, it has lead all organizations
in its broad scope of civic endeavor.
The public affairs committee under
Mr.. w. M. Smith, has done much to-
wards race advancement and the gen.
eral program Of music and addresses
has been of the highest standard. Mrs
Susie Bogie, who is in charge of it's
social service has given her time to
settlement work and has relieved the
sick and secured employment for
many women. This Is worthy work
of the Forum and one of its most i'm
portant features. Mrs. Bogie made a
report Of her service, which won the
approval of her hearers.
Mr.. L. c. Blyler of the Civic and
Commerce Association, was one of the
speakers this month. He was we'll
received. He. gave a brief talk on
the Negro soldiers and his optimistic
view of the future Of the race was the
result Of contact with and close obser-
walton of our people. He predicted
that "a great leader among the
Negroes will come out of this war;"
and showed the great advantage to
the race offered by military training.
Settlement Worker Speaks.
Miss Belle Meade of the Pillsbury
Settlement House gave an instructive
talk on the necessity and advantages
of settlement work. She asked the
cooperation of our people and in
vited them to take advantage of the
many opportunities offered at Pillsbury
House. She urged the support of the
Boy Scout movement, recently organ
lied and outlined every branch of
service rendered the community by the
settlement houses, and made it plain
that there was no discrimination in
any branch because of race or color.
The address of Miss Meade Was a
source of valuable information and
The Forum was greatly benefited by
her remarks.
Aid For Miss Burroughs School.
Miss E. E. Whitfield, field agent for
the National Training school for Girls
at Lincoln Heights, Washington, d. c..
made an appeal for funds for the
school. She outlined the work of Miss
Mamie E. Burroughs, its president
and her plea for the education of the
ignorant working girls brought finan-
cial response to the amount of $29.70.
The Musical Program.
The display of musical talent is
one of the Forums features. Miss
Myrtle Mae Williams of st. Paul, Mrs.
J. H. Redd, Mrs. Blanche Mason and
Miss Marienne Jaffrey contributed to
the program.
Red Cross Work.
The contributions to the Red Cross
were $13S for Christmas boxes, $500
for seals and S21OO in new member
ships for 1918 which were solicited
by DR.. r. s. Brown.
Newly Elected Officers.

term are: DR.. w. Ellis Burton, pres
ident; Mrs. Mary E. Pope, vice pres
ident; Miss Frances Mask, secretary;

The Negro soldier will face harder
battles in America, than somewhere
over there These have paid the
penalty and it is said they faced
death bravely." Americas mob VIC
lence was the agitator, and race pre-
judice was their executioner. The
death of these men has done more
to bring about a real democracy in
America than the onslaughts of a
thousand black heroes in Europe. The
world is watching and the Negro
awakening Those men knew the
penalty and suffered the consequences.
If the hell hounds of the South or any
where, choose to intimidate, or in any
way modest the Negro soldiers and es-
pecially their women, then somebody
must die. This is the beginning of
the end. The Negro soldier can give
but one life. The question is whether
1t shall be in defense Of his own or
his country.

BREWERS THINK THEY ARE
NOT BEING TREATED RIGHT
Gustavc Pabst Heads Delegation TO
Washington To Hold Up
Restriction.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Headed by
Gustave Pabst, a delegation, repre-
senting the brewers of the United
states, was heard today by the senate
agricultural committee on Senator
Gronna's bill to forbid the manufac-
ture Of grain into alcoholic liquors
during the war.
The delegation told the committee
that the brewing interests were ready
to cooperate with the government IN
any way and-to the fullest extent the
president might wish and did not ask
consideration from any standpoint
other than that Of fair dealing and
public policy.
