That His Students Should Give

A scholar OF unusual appearance and

Ger Clarks life OF John Fiske.
One day backward student called

the professor that he did love his
Greek study.
"Then name two OF your favorite

The Truth About
Race Riots In
Chicago

Chicago has had its first real race
riots, and Chicago is surprised, and
because Chicago is surprised is one OF
the contributing causes of the race
riot, those who have been actively in
terested in trying to find solution OF
the race riot probably was not at all
surprised when the riots broke out,
at least the writer was not. And now
that we have had a taste of the south
ern methods or settling race disputes,
Chicago may put on its thinking cap
and intelligently try to reach some
definite and permanent solution Of this
vexing problem.
Some say that this tragedy started
because a colored couple wanted to
go swimming in Lake Michigan at a
point where our supposed upholders
of the law had drawn an imaginary
geographical colored line, although
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-09-27

long for, no traditions to foster, no
clan to segregate him from unqualified
American sympathy and loyalty is the
American Negro.
Like other races he is capable OF
such modification in character as his
environment forces. America will
make a miserable mistake and fatal
one if it causes him to fear and hate
the land of his birth instead of treat
ing him in such a manner as to make
Of him a patriot-its most numerous
native born patriot.
The South has already committed
an egregious blunder by its treatment
of him. Unless there is great change
for the better in this treatment the
third generation will be sorry. For,
fifty years from now, when the immi-
grafton bureaus have filled this south
land with people from other chimes
who bring with them memories of an
other flag, fond recollections of their
fatherland, distinct language (Which
they will see are taught in our public
schools), the Negro could be a strong
ally Of the children Of those who now
dominate the South. But will he =?
That depends upon the treatment he
receives from the now dominant south
ener. 1t is puerile in the extreme
for the South to ALLEVIATE from it the
most conservative force in America
In its time of need it may call in vain
for help from those who have teen SO
abused and maltreated as is the Negro
'Verily, the fathers ate sour grapes
which put their children's teeth on
edge"
(To Be Continued.)
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-09-27

possessions may some day resent the
"snub" Of proud America. In such a
case, what would be the attitude Of
the American Negro? This interna-
tional question is not put yet. 1t can
not reasonably be preached by the
dark races for a century to come.
What is a hundred years in the life
of people or nation? But come it
must, and when it comes it will bring
the full burst of the day of freedom
to the American Negro; for the white
man will grasp one side of the curtain
of the Negroes night, and the united
dark races will grasp the other side,
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-09-27

there is no such law known to the
writer, and if there is one it ought to
be removed Immediately. Be it as /,
may, it is a flimsy excuse for murder
and arson, but why deal with excuses
let US get down to the fundamental
causes of these riots and see if they
can be removed, an investigation COM
mittee will probably be commissioned
either by the city or state, their func-
ton generally consists of trying to
fasten the blame on somebody. indict
them, send them to Jail for few
years, disband, and leave the causes
of the trouble untouched.
Big business and the colored poll
ticians do more to create race hatred
than any other agency in the COM
munity, race hatred has an industrial
basis, employers use the colored work
ers as a club over the heads Of the
white workers, and colored politicians
aid their white masters in betraying
their own race. The colored people
don't accept trade unionism as quickly
as the whites do, and so they are used
to intimidate the weaker element
among the whites so as they won't
joint the union, and let it be said
right here that when a colored man
joins the union, he is Disseminated
against great deal more than his
white brother. Big employers don't
want the colored worker to get bitten
by the union bug, and he will almost
do anything to keep him out of the
union, and he is aided and abetted by
the two-by-four tin-hom colored poll
ticians, who carry out the dictates Of
their white masters.
With all these handicaps the colored
workers are going into the trade union
by thousands, in the stock yards. It
is hard to tell just how many do be-
long to the union, because as there is
no color line drawn they are almost in
every local affiliated with the stock
yards labor council, but there is one
local that is almost all colored be-
cause it is situated in what is known
as the Black Belt, and that has q
membership reaching into the thou
sands, and it is safe bet that if all
the workers, men and women, in Chi
cago, belonged to the trade union
movement, race riots would be un-
known.
Take the stock yards industry and
you will find that there are more
colored people working there than in
any other industry in the country, yet
it was the quietest and safest place
for the colored people. 1t is true that
the union will press his union agita-
ton a little more forceable, but it is
the unanimous opinion of white and
colored union men, that if the stock
yards labor council had been able to
get union agreement with the pack
