The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-12-07

Mignon. 1t was the browning point
of the evening. The speaker of the
evening was Hon. Nelson Crews, of
Kansas City, Mo. 1t was a great
speech and long since the country has
acknowledged MI. Crews as one of
the greatest orators of the race. He
maintained his reputation. He paid
high tribute to Mr.. and Mrs. Malone
for their contribution to the race.

white flag when l left home" said
Mr.. Crews, white flag means sur
render and I did not feel that l need
ed it, because Kansas City leads them
all but since / have been here and
have seen this magnificent structure,
| am willing to surrender to Mr.. and
Mrs. Malone. b. This is a great build
ing and we rejoice with you because
Of it. st. Louis leads the world" Mr..
Crews grew eloquent as he pictured
the achievements of the race, the
work of the boys over seas, those who
had given their lives to make the
world safe for democracy. His pic
ture of the heroes fighting on foreign
fields for worldwide democracy was
dramatic. He paid his respect to
those who would keep the race back,
and declared that the building in
which he stood said to the enemy and
friend alike that the Negro will not
down. I'VE have helped with the
blood of some of our best young men
and now we want democracy made
safe for the world.

and cheering"

railroads cannot move the coal that is
mined. There are miners walking tho
streets in mining towns right now. I'M
employed because tho railroads do not
furnish cars.
There are miles and miles Of loaded
coal cars on railroad tracks that are
not moving. The trouble Is the country
has outgrown the railroads. The raft
roads have not kept the pace"
Mr.. Whites remarks regarding idln
time among tho miners WIS confirmed
in talks with many delegates from diff
ferent parts OF tho country. One loader
said there IS no general idlcncss any
where but that in spots many spots,
he said. men arc not working fun time
because Of the lack of railroad cars. In
the Central Pennsylvania bitumtnous
fields, one delegate said. some miners
are working on an average OF three and
four days q week for tho last three OF
four weeks.
In parts Of tho anthracite regions
coal companies ara not only unable to
get cars but are not able 20 get surri
cient timber, because Of railroad cons
gestion. to timber the mines. This
means that operations must be sus-
pended until the working places are
made safe for the men.

age means. Their convention adjourned
before noon until tomorrow to permit
committees to meet. This gave moro

cause the county fuel administrator
last night ordered all theatres. moving
picture houses. bowling alleys. billiard
and pool rooms. lodge rooms. saloons
and churches 10 close at once and re-
main closed until further notice. There
was somo grumhliuR among the miners
over their restricted freedom, but all
realized tho probable necessity Of tho
action.
Tho convention did very little today.
Former President White made strong
plea for tho ratification Of the Washing
ton wage agreement through which the
miners received un advance in wages.
