Comedy Riot and II Arrests End
Suffrage Parade at White House
Holiday Crowds Laugh While Police Tear Down Banners
and Load Women Nlarchers and Their ASSISTANTS
Into Automobiles Headed for Station House

Wilmington, Del. and Mrs. Lawrence
Lewis, Philadelphia.
One banner bore the following quo
tatiop from the Declaration Of indie
penience:
Governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent Of the governed
The other banners consisted simply
of yellow bunting.
Promptly at noon five of the pickets,
led by Miss Mabel Vernon of Ne
vada, marched from the Womans party
headquarters toward the White House.
Several policemen preceded them and
told the women they would not be ar
rested as long as they remained on the
north side Of Pennsylvania avenue
and did not walk on the White House
side.
Order Is Unheeded
Miss Vernon smiingly heard the
order and marched the five women.
Miss Calderhead. Mrs. Weed, Miss
Greiner, Miss Whittemore and Miss
Milholland, to the White House side.
The police stopped them and Simpson,
rushing forward, tore down the banner.
Sufragists loudly demanded the ar
rest Of Simpson. but the police only
smiled and busted themselves rounding
up the suffragists. A few moments
later two automobiles arrived and
amid cheers by the sufragists and
"boos" and catcalls from the crowd,
the first lot of suifragists was carried
away 70 police headquarters.
The clash between John Jones' and
the unidentified suffragists followed.
Several men in the crowd demanded
the arrest of Jones, and said that they
would testify against him. They
maintained that he had no right 20
assail the suffragist when she only
sought 70 hand him magazines.
By this time the crowd was laugh
ing loudly. Thinking the incident
closed the spectators started away
when suddenly Miss Vernon. who was
not detained with the first Of the suf-
fragists, rushed out of the party
Headquarters with a new delegation.
She marched them west on the north
side of the avenue the length of the
White House lawn and then suddenly
crossed the street and started east on
the avenue.
Police Immediately intercepted them
and while the arrests were being made
Simpson rushed forward and tore
down the second banner.
Part OF the crowd applauded him
and others assailed him with vigorous
language. He was hustled into an
automobile and taken to the police
station.

Fears Race Riots
Here Unless Negro
Problem Is Solved
{. K. Jones Says Unions Must
Aid Blacks to Prevent Jim
Crowism in North

Riots attended by race war Ike that
of East St. Louis will occur IN the Dig
cities Of the North if they fail TO solve
intelligently the problems created by
the influx Of negroes from the South
according to Eugene Kinckle Jones, ex-
ocutive secretary o. the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Negroes. who has just returned from
East st. Louis.
More than $4,000 negroes have come
North since April, 1916, and that num-
her will be trebled in another year. ac-
cording to Mr.. Jones. A. 90
Aided principally by the influx OF
negro labor" he said, there VIII soon

situation here seriously. Unions VIII

Is bor The unions will strike. the thou,
sands of negroes in the North Will
automa ticallv become strike breakers,
race preiudices will be intensihed, ana
then will come a reign OF terror Whlch
will make jim Crowism and lynchings
Northern institutions"
Jones declared the only solution 70
the problem is for the American req.
Grafton of Labor TO "act in a spirit OF
Brotherhood: take the colored men ana
women laborers into their various trade
unions and put them on the same basis
a. white workers" This alone, accord
ing to Mr.. Jones, will prevent a labor
r. risis in tho North
THE East St. Louis riots were start
ed by the employment of negroes as
strike breakers in the packing industry
in which the whites were striking Tor
higher wages. The labor element
thought il had a free hand, and If the
negroes hadn't resisted there would
have been only few sporadic lynch-
iugs and murders. But the negroes did
resist. As a result, the whites organ
lied TO beat them into submission and
trouble came. Talk of the riots in the
South being fomented by German
agents is all nonsense"
There is trouble ahead in the North
unless the American Federation OF La
Dor acts quickly. The negro migration
is gaining impetus every day, and the
industries will use comparatively cheap
negro LABOR as preJeAI LOT cutSi"s
down wages. The unions will kick and
strike. the colored workers will against
their own volt;on be placed in the
light of strike breakers and then mis-
chief will be afoot.
"The national government should use
its influence TO discourage mob vio-
lence and persuade the unions 70 take
in the negro and put him on an equal
basis with his white brother and thus
prevent trouble"

IN Bologna in connection with the case

General Car Strike
Planned if Unions
Demand Is Denied
Third Avenue Men to Quit
Unless They Get Shorter
Hours and More Pay

A strike on the Third Avenue Rail
way, il is said, will probably be called
next Tuesday unless the demands for
shorter hours and more pay. made yes
terday by the union employees of the
road, are conceded.
4 high official of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electrical
Railways Of America declared last
night that similar demands would be
made on the other traction lines Of the
city, and unless both sides came to
terms within fortnight a general
strike would be called.
Demands Made on Third Avenue
The demands on the Third Avenue
line were drafted after long distance
conferences between local labor leaders
and ". d. Mahon, of Detroit, president
OF the Amalgamated Association. The
demands were incorporated in letter
addressed TO Edward Maher, jr., presi-
dent of the Third Avenue line. 1t reads:
eve. the undersigned. a committee
representing the employees of your
company. have been instructed by your
employees to submit TO you the follow
ing requests:
1--WE request that the company,
through it's accredited officers, will
meet and treat with the committees
and representatives of the men on all
grievances and complaints that may
arise in tn future.
Eve request that the wages for
motormen and conductors, on and after
July 10, 1917. shall be as follows:
For motormen and conductors. first
year in the service of the company.
80 cents an hour; for motormen and
conductors who have been one year or
over in the service of the company. 40
cents an hour.
Time and One-half Asked
I'VE request that the workday for
motormen and conductors shall be on
the basis Of a maximum of ten hours.
20 be completed in twelve consecutive
hours, and that time and one-half be
paid for all work after the completion
of the regular scheduled run as above
provided.
ave would request that you set
date and name a place where we can
take up with you, as the representatives
OF the company. these questions. We
would appreciate an early reply, which
can be sent TO our committee at Room
42+, 1,777 Broadway"
The letter is signed by Patrick
Roman. John McArdle, Patrick Daily
and Frank Moran.
The entrance of the national pres-
dent. Mr.. Mahon, on the scene is re-
garded as significant. With William
b. Fitzgerald, general organizer of the
carmen, and several other local labor
leaders Mr. Mahon held conference
yesterday.
Poorly Paid Here. Says Mahon
There is no reason why the men
employed on streetcar lines in this city
should not receive better wages and
better hours of labor" said Mr. Mahon
last night. THE carmen OF this city
are among the poorest paid in the
country. Buffalo. Detroit, Chicago and
other cities pay wages far above those
in New York. and the hours OF labor
are better. which means healthier and
better employees"
While Mr.. Mahon refused 10 say
what the next move would be, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald declared that the demands made
on the Third Avenue road were merely
preliminary to general campaign for
the betterment of wages and working
conditions among the carmen in this
city

Chicago, July 4-Victor A. 0lander,
secretary of the Illinois Federation of
Labor and member Of the State Coun-
Gil Of Defence, has issued warning to
Chicago and other Northern cities
where the same conditions which
brought about such frightful results
in East st. Louis exist" He calls at
tention to protests by organized labor
against what he terms the unnecessary
importation of negro labor at East st.
Louis and says:
81 don't care 70 say much about the
situation here in Chicago, but there
should be an investigation. Certain
classes of employers are seeking
cheaper labor-negroes and women-on
the pretext that additional labor is
needed on account of war conditions.
As a result thousands of white men
are being thrown out of employment
