tOIORED FOLKS AND TIE
LABOR UNIONS.

1t is estimated that there are
twelve million colorcd Iaboring men
in the United States of America and
that this mighty army OF industrial
workers had the balance Of power in
the war now being wagcd between
labor and capital. The emigration Of
tens Of thousands of white workmcn
to Europe has created situation that
borders upon panic among organic
ed labor.
How is the situation to he met?
Race prejudice has been sent to the
rear and the complete recognition of
this vital factor in the industrial sit.
uation shows concluSivcly that the
leaders Of organized labor have stu
died the situation carefully. But
what has organized capital been do
ing? This mighty power is largely re-
sponsible if not wholly so for the
mighty influence being welded by
these colored people.
In throwing open IT'S doors, the
American Federation OF Labor will
naturally control direct all skilled
colorcd mechanics who enter the con
fines. Can colorcd laboring men af-
ford to accept the invitation save as
an independent unit operated and

TROUBLE IN INDIANA.

{
The National Defender and Sun
tells about racial discrimination in
Gary, Indiana. Ridglcy's Drug Store,
(whitc) has declined to serve soft
drinks to colorcd people and the pro.
prictor told committee frankly that
colorcd folks patronage was not want
cd. There is a colorcd pharmacist
there, who handles soft drinks, but
some how or the other, although it
is tho Same and served out of the
same kind Of fountain, it does not

taste rs good to the colorcd school
teachers as that served from the foun
tain at RidBlcy's Drug Store, where
they are not wanted.
This is the experience OF the color
cd folks in this western city. 1t
takes this kind Of race prejudice to
drive them IL Il drug store operated
Ivy their own people. The usual way
OF many of these kind of colorcd folks
is to drive all OF the white patronage
away from Il white mans business
and then fail to 80 there in sufficient
numbers To supply the deficiency in
money lost as Il result Of such Il hap
rCninG. We would recommend that
the colored FOLKS build up the colorcd
who has notified them that their
trade is not wanted.
Colorcd folks down here have pros
pcrcd under such treatment. If the
white folks wont sell us in their
stores, we open ones Of our own
where our own people can enjoy all
Of their rights and privileges under
the law. We are sorry for these col,
orcd folks in that northern and west
crn cline. We would suggest that as
wages arc good here, the southern
white folks are sympathetic or rath-
CT some of them are, that they would
sell out their belongings there and
come back home.

An attempt to climb the Capitol

in a demonstration of a Model 4
Overland Touring Car on Saturday,

Similar successful demonstrations

performed in this city, however.
The demonstration too, will be
somewhat more severe in this city,
according to advance notices. 1t has

various kinds of bumps, to climb

The directors of the Harrisburg

of operation has established the ne

these will be provided during the

GYM MEMBERS

Give Their Instructor Testi-

Hear Health Talks

The gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c. A.
was filled to overflowing last even
ing, when ninety per cent. of the
membership of the businessmen's S
gym classes held their annual din
ner there. The members presented
G. w. CDoc") Miller, the physical
instructor, with handsome gold
watch and chain as testimonial of
their esteem. and then screen pic
lures and other features of an en-
tertaining nature followed.
Arthur d. Bacon, in the absence
of AL X. Thomas, chairman of the
physical work division, who was ill.
acted as toastmaster. The principal
speaker of the evening was Colonel
Edward Martin, State Health Com
missioner, who talked on physical
fitness, the advantages of gym work
and the necessity of fresh air,
proper food and daily exercise. He
paid high compliment to the work
of the "Y" during the war. Another
speaker was Robert B. Reeves, gen
eral secretary, who told of the
growth of the association in recent
years and said that the way to get
the new building or an enlargement
or the present structure is literally
to push the walls OUT by increas-
ing the membership. He paid high
compliment to- his fellow workers.
Shorty" Miller, assistant physical
instructor and ore of the most popu-
lar members of the staff, also spoke.
During the evening the guests
sang popular songs and enjoyed a
series of gym cartoons thrown on
the screen, showing DR.. Frank
Kann, George G. Mcfarland and
other volleyball celebrities in char
acteristic poses. Arrangements were
made also for the organization of a
Volleyball league.
The program was proceeding
pleasantly enough, when John 5.
Musser threw n scare into the audi
ence by arising in his place and
criticising DOC" Miller numerically
for always starting his classes late"
and being generally unsystematic in
his conduct of affairs of the gym,
and Dick" Jobe added fuel to the
fire by saying that Musser had not
gone far enough; that Miller never
observed his schedules and was al
ways behind time. Captain George
f. Lumb arose to the defense of the
physical instructor and denounced
the complainants, at the same time
producing the gold watch and chain,
with which, he said, Miller hence
forth would be able to keep the best
of time. The big crowd cheered
itself hoarse and DOC" had to re-
spond with a speech of acceptance.
The dinner was the largest and
most enthusiastic of its kind in the
history of the gym.
