a secret or patent medicine, but one
that is sold and recommended by well
known druggists everywhere, and ply

it is easily assimilated and will be
found effective in the treatment of in

well as for care worn, nervous condi-

ers of the white internes and ev-
cry nurse remained on duty.
Gibbs passed the recent health
board examination and was sixth
highest on the list of applicants.
His high grade over those of the
white competitors created an en-
Wy that is possibly due to the
walkout of white internes. The
board claimed that they had to
yield to the demand of the in
ternes to dismiss Gibbs because
there were 300 patients in the

NEGRO EXODUS is INCREASING
Desire to Earn Higher Wages and for
Better Conditions Socially, Pre-
sents New Problems to Both
South and North.

Chicago, Ill-The exodus of Ne
gcess from the South to northern man
ufacturing points, stronger within the
last month or so, is regarded as likely
to increase considerably as the sea,
son advances, and to continue through
out the summer Not more than a
quarter of those leaving the South, it
is expected will return. The condi-
ton is totally without precedent since
reconstruction days.
AS to the situation in Chicago, A.
L. Jackson, executive secretary of the
Wabash Avenue branch of the Y. NJ.
C. A., says: "The Negroes are com
ing into Chicago pretty regularly, and
in larger numbers now. l had man
watch the railroad stations recently
for ten days, and the police depart
ment also had a man take careful
census. In one week they found 500
arrivals and in another week from
! 200 to 1,5O0. All, of course, do not
stop in Chicago Many go on, to
Waukegan, Indiana Harbor and Gary,
Detroit, Moline, and various other
centers. In two days
my agent found two parties of from
so to 76 Negroes using Chicago as
a transfer point. The flow has been
very steady through good weather"
THE real reason for the migration y
continued Mr.. Jackson, himself Ne
gro, and an authority locally. lis the
desire of the Negroes to better their
school, housing, social and sanitary
conditions. The exodus is coming for
the most part from Mississippi, Geor-
gia. and Louisiana, with Mississippi
leading, and also from South Carolina.
Mississippi is leading because of two
onditions-lynch law and peonage. In
Alabama and Virginia, so-called good
states, they are not feeling the Negro
but in the states with
lynch law and poor schooling, they
are leaving in large numbers. The
readjustment of the Negro population
and higher wages will help them all
around, thinks Mr. Jackson. In the
North better wages will raise the
standard of the Negroes; and in the
South, the shortage of them will make
their labor more valuable and increase
their bargaining power, assuring them
more consideration in those questions
of law enforcement, schools, housing
and conditions of cleanliness.

NEGRO SERVES AS AN
INTERPRETER FOR STATE
(From New York Age }

At 702 Washington street.
where the State military census
is being taken, the busiest per-
son representing the State of
New York is James A. Rivers,
black in color, who is serving as
an interpreter and who is an OBJ
ject of curiosity to many. The
registration place is in the midst
of large colony of Spaniards,
many of whom cannot speak
English.
Mr.. Rivers, who resides at 72
w. 132nd street, speaks English,
French, German. Spanish, Ital-
ian and Portuguese fuently. He
was graduated from Tufts Col
lege in 1902 and acquired local
reputation as a linquist while at
tending the Boston Latin School.
In 1905, he left the United
States to act as interpreter for
the J. T. McCaddon's Show,
which disbanded in France one
year later. Next he became in
terpeter for the Buffalo Bill Show
remaining with the wild west ag-
gregation until 1908. After stay
ing in France until 1911, Mr..
Rivers went to Rome, Italy and
became athletic instructor of the
Cannotierie, the exclusive boat
club of which King Emmanuel is
is a member.
Later he was engaged to in
struct the younger member of
the police force in Rome in the
art of self-defence, but his posi-
ton was temporarily abolished
owing to many of the police join
ing the army, so over year ago
he returned to America. Mr..
Rivers says he is going back to
Europe as soon as the war is
over.

as the men walked out, everybody
gathering to see the parade.
George E. Emmons, general
manager of the plant, watched the
men leave the plant from his of
flee window.
Leaving the General Electric
gates, in River Road, the strikers
paraded' up Dock street and
turned into State, where the
march continued to Crescent
Park.
In a few words Mr.. Lefkowitz
laid the situation before the men I:
We are here he said, in
opening, to discuss the matter in
the quietest manner possible.
While we are out for our cause
we must conduct ourselves in an
orderly manner. The machinists
organizations of Schenectady are
now on strike; the issue being
drawn on the failure of the Gen
eral Electric officials to grant us
the right of presenting at any
time a request through griev-
ance committee. We have given
them fair warning. The ulti-
matum was forwarded Saturday
through the same mail that the of
ficials receive their other letters.
There was no response, and our
action could lay in only one direc-
ton.
" DO not lose sight of the fact
that we are fighting, not on the
grounds of race prejudice, but on
the grounds of moral convic-
tions.
"The speaker went on to ex-
plain that the real issue of the
strike was the employment OF one
Negro, who was put to work in
the shop under the jurisdiction of
the machinists' organization,
which act is contrary to the laws
of that organization, he said. The
organization does not ask that
Negroes be refused employment,
but. simply that they be employed
separate and apart from white
workers.

mands, said Mr.. Lefkowitz, in

Manager of Electric Co.
Refuses To Discriminate
Negro Machinist Retained By Manager
G. E. Emmons When $500 White
Workmen Strike.

Schenectady, Matchmaking
that the color line be drawn in
the large plant of the General
Electric Company here, the same
as the United States government
practices segregation in the Army,
$500 machinists and tool makers
went on a strike Monday, said to
be one of the most peculiar labor
strikes on record.
The color issue was created
when a young colored man-Wen-
dell King-was put to work in the
machine shops of the General
Electric Company. King is of a
good family in Upper Troy, NY,
and was graduated from the Lam
singburg high school in 1916. He
entered Union College, Schencta-
dy, last September, and soon at
tracted attention as an excellent
student in wireless telegraphy and
French.
1t is not that the Union men
are opposed to the firm employ
ing colored men, but it is opposed
to white and colored working to-
gether. The officials of the Gen
eral Electric Company oppose seq
regation; hence, the strike is like
ly to be protracted one, as the
heads of the company have shown
no disposition to withdraw from
their position.
The General Electric Company
employs six Negroes in the office,
two in the shop and hundred or
more in the yard. But not until
a few days ago did Negro ever
work as a machinist. Then the
question of the separation of the
races arose.
Incidents in Connection With
Strike.

giving an account of the strike in
its news columns under the head
line, "Machinists, Demssd Same

ready, the signal was given, and
the parade started with a cheer.

Company officials claim the is
sue to be the employment by the
company of a young colored man.
According to Mr.. Emmons, Wen
dell King is a student at Union
College, and was recommended by
the faculty with twenty-five or
thirty other young men in the col
lege as being a worthy boy to aid
in securing his college education.
The young man was put to work
June Sth, and is at present en-
ployed in building % operating a
drill press. The first intimation
of any dissatisfaction, he said,
was last Tuesday afternoon, when
committee of machinists pro-
tested against the young man be-
ing longer employed in the capac-
ity of machinist.
Mr.. Emmons contends a com
mittee of the machinists practical
ly demanded that the young col
ored man be taken off that work
to which Mr.. Emmons replied that
he could see no reason, for estab
fishing a color line. He told the
committee that the young man
was a college student and worthy
of being aided.
MIR. Emmons Believes in a Real
Democracy.
Mr.. Emmons left his office last
Tuesday night when he received
the ultimatum of the union. The
ultimatum was decided on at a
meeting of the union Friday night
and said in part: eve take this
means of notifying you that the
demand that the man
agement recognize the machinists
committee and that Negro labor
will not be employed under the
jurisdiction of the machinistS,
and was signed by Joseph Iefko-
witz, William Hogan; w. L. Sar-
gent, w. Walker and E. Cooley.
All other branches of work con
tinued as usual after the machin-
lists walked out.
In formal statement Mr.. EN-
mons expressed himself as fol
lows:
"It is contrary to the policy of
the company to take any action
detrimental to the best interests
of its employees, but it will toler
ate no discrimination against any
worthy individual on account of
or color.
"The management believes that
every person should be given an
opportunity to improve his con
dition which the young man in
question is trying to do
