NEGRO is LOYAL,
DECLARES MOTION
President of Tuskegee Says His
Race Is True to Stars
and Stripes.

Negro history and traditions will
hold the black man forever loyal to
the United States, is the opinion of Dr.
Robert r. Motion. president of the
Tuskegee Institute, who last night
addressed a mass meeting at the John
Wesley NJ. E. Church for the purpose
of raising funds for the Booker T.
Washington endowment fund.
Contributions poured in following
the patriotic address of DR.. Motion
Secretary Emmett J. Scott, of Tuske-
gee Institute, said that nearly 81 900
had been raised during the evening
DR.. Motion said, in part: THE ques-
ton is being raised in certain quar-
tiers as to whether the negro, will be
loyal to the Stars and Stripes. There
is no such question in my mind. The
negro is a patient, a forgiving, brave,
and loyal individual. The story of
Carrizal. in Mexico, must be familiar
to all of US. Col. Henry Watterson,
in the Louisville Courier-Journal, said
of Peter Bigstaff, the colored trooper,
that no finer example OF heroism has
been shown in modern history than
by this man.
I'VE. as every other race. are proud
of our heroes and our traditions.
Booker Washington believed in his
race, its capabilities, its loyalty. and
its heroism. and he believed in Amer
lea. His life was the life of a true
patriot. He came from a slaves
cabin, and by dint of hard work, devo-
ton to duty as he saw II, and unset
fish service rose to be one of the
worlds great characters"
Mr.. Scott, stated that thus far $780,
900 has been raised for the Booker T.
Washington fund.
Henry Lassiter served as chair
man at the meeting. Henry B. F.
mcfarland, former Commissioner of
the District: Major Raymond w. Pull
man, superintendent of police: John
c. Dancy, former recorder of deeds of
the District; Judge Robert H. Ter
rell, of the Municipal Court were
among the speakers who urged that
liberal contributions be made by the
audience as fitting memorial to the
late DR.. Washington.
DR.. Motion was introduced by former
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota.

SILK MISBRANDING
ORDERED STOPPED
Trade Commission Co-operates'
With Manufacturers in
Protecting Consumer.

Misbranding of silk fabrics to mis-
lead and deceive the public has been
stopped by the Federal Trade Com
mission. 90.
The commission today issued seven
conference. rulings to protect the pub
lie and to stop certain unfair prac-
tees in the trade, which had grown
up gradually. due to the competitive
conditions in the trade.
Various brands of cloth and fabrics
were labeled as silk of one kind and
another, when as a matter of fact
they contained either no real silk, or
a very small proportion thereof.
The practices complained of and
remedied by. the commission included:
~ The labelling OF goods as silk
in which there was no cocoon silk; (2)
the labelling of material as silk
which, in fact, was only part silk, and
go the use of fanciful words in
labelling. such as "Sansilk" or elk"
without qualifying words, where. in
fact, the goods were composed only
in part of silk. or contained no silk
whatsoever. The effect of these prac-
tees was to deceive the public. and
to operate unfairly as against others
in the industry.
The Jurisdiction of the commission
was first invoked by complaints filed
by the Silk Association OF America
against several manufacturers for
certain of these alleged unfair prac-
tees.
The matter was taken up with the
Silk Association of America, and that
body advised the commission that 1t
had voted to lend its assistance to
the Federal Trade Commission, and
that 1t would do all that II possibly
could to obtain the elimination of
harmful practices.
As a result. conferences were held
in New York with a large number of
concerns complained against, with the
result that there was a unanimous ex-
preston that they were DESTROYS of
cooperating with the commission to
eradicate all possible cause for COM
plant.
BY reason OF the cooperation of
Secretary Redfield. of the Department
of Commerce, and of the Bureau OF
Standards. each case was considered
upon the facts developed. -
On a basis of these rules as to what
constituted fairness. each case was
tested. A practical agreement was
worked out as to the character of a
proposed label which would so COR
rectly brand the goods as not to de-
ceive the public.
