THE DAY WORKERS INDUSTRIAL
UNION.

In view of the fact that living has
increased $50 per cent in the last Is
months, the Colored working women
of Kansas City have organized into
what is known as the Day Workers
Industrial Union, under the American
Federation of Labor, for a so per cent
increase of wages, thus receiving S2.10
per day instead of $3.50 per day. The
Union members are demanding the
Union wage, $2.10 per day, and all are
receiving it with little protest. We
are making an earnest appeal to all
m that do any kind Of work by
the day to join this union. Do not be
afraid of losing your work, as no one
is doing day work but the Colored
women, and this is your opportunity
to ask for what we want and receive
it as well, as the high cost of living
makes it necessary. Joining fee, so
cents. Meetings every Thursday even
ing, 8 p. m. at the Labor Temple, 14th
and Woodland venue.

Rev. Harmon L. Mckinney, D. D.,
recently of Portland, Oregon, has been
transferred here to take charge of the
st. James African Methodist Episco-
pal Zion Church, on Woodland Ave
nue., near Eighteenth Street. He was
accompanied to this city with his very
accomplished and amiable wife and
assumed pastoral charge last Sunday
morning. Bishop l.. w. Kyles and
the District Superintendent, Rev. E.
j. Dodson both being present and
commencing DR.. McKenney and his
wife in the highest terms of praise
and efficiency for the present needs
of this field to a good sized audience
being present.
Rev. McKenney has had consider
able travel and wide experience in
u missionary work at home and
abroad, having but recently returned
to this country from the Hawaiian
Territory where he was engaged in
religious work in the Island of Maua.
His wife has been engaged in educa-
tional work since 1912, and is well
qualified for the social work of the
church. We are satisfied that they
are well qualified for the require
ments of this field, and will render
great service to our people in this
civic center.
Rev. McKenney's sermons are evan
gelical and carries a strong inclina-
ton to a broader vision of service to
the whole community in its spiritual
uplift and advancement of the king
dom. We believe that he, with the
cooperation of his members and 9TH
er Christian workers in this commun-
ity will fill up a long felt need of
Zion Methodism in this city. He also
stands ready to cooperate with min
listers and other Christian workers
in the city in whatever way he may,
in promoting the cause of evangelism
and civic righteousness. Therefore
we take pleasure in commencing him
to the entire community and would
ask a hearing for him at the earliest
convenience. Services at st. James
will be as usual, with evangelistic SER
vices every Sunday evening, from o
till the opening of spring. Thorough
reorganization is under way in this
charge, and at an early day we look
forward to a strong and effective or
ganization here.

One of our most energetic farmer
rented his land for so many bales of
cotton last year. No doubt thinking
we would have a good crop year, but
in the fall the tenant found that he
would not make much more cotton
than enough to pay the rent. So this
good honest christian gentleman just
evened up with him by taking the
3rd and 4th of the crop. Thereby
losing about two hundred dollars.
We feel proud of such man living
in our midst, and he will surely be
blessed abundantly for considering
the circumstances of those who are
less fortunate than himself.
