Pittsburgh's Rivals Protest
New York, Sept. 3, 1919.
From The ManuJacturer8' Recordl

From The Manufacturers Record
Some long-established trade customs be-
come so firmly fixed that it is difficult to
change them without seriously uprcotng and
overturning many business methods and in
Turing some business interests Such GUS
tom is that which has always prevailed Of
making Pittsburgh the bssng point for steel
prices. Against this custom Birmingham has
for years protested. and now Chicago and
Superior, steel-producing centres, are also
entering vigorous protest.
The matter has been carried to the Fed
eral Trade Commission. which purposes to
take jurisdiction over the subject and to hear
testimony on both sides. Steel producers. at
least those long accustomed to the dominant
position Of Pittsburgh in the steel trade have
rigidly adhered to this long-establlshed Gus
tom, and doubtless some of them will vigor-
ousy oppose any change. Nevertheless. a
change should be made. This is one case in
which old trade customs must give way be-
fore the great changes which are taking
place in business. The system is not logical
or scientifically accurate Ii is indeed in
keeping with some of the illogical and I'M
scientific freight regulations of the past.
The movement to bring about change will
be watched with interest by steel producers
as we'll as by steel consumers throughout the
entire country.

Song
The Granite Mountain
TO CARL SANDBvRG

TO CARL SANDBt re
(From Eeeiy's nirroO
T KNOW a mountain; lone it lies
i Under wide blue Arctic skies.
Gray against the crimson rags
OF sunset loom its granite crags.
Gray granite are the peaks that slnder
The clouds, and gray the shadows under
Down tho weathered gulies flow
Waters from its crannied snow;
Tumbling cataracts that roar
Cannonading down the shore;
And riyulsts that hurry after
With . sound of silver laughter.
Up its rsmparts winds trail
To a clover me allowed vale,
High among the hills and woods
Locked in lonely soltudes.
Only wild feet can essay
The perils OF that dragged way.
And here beneath the rugged shoulders
OF the granite cliffs and boulders,
In the valley of the sky
Where tranquil twilight shadows lie,
Hunted creatures In their flight
Find refuge for the night.

Beyond the strongholds OF the sun.

Old Clothes Wanted

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In spite of the change in the liquor
situation drunkards continue to drift into
the McAuley Water Street Mission, willing
to begin anew, but unable to obtain work
unless clean clothing is provided for them.
The great need for men in all different kinds
Of work means that success for life may be
ahead, but utterly impossible unless good
appearance is assured.
Any cast-osF garments, shoes hats, under
clothing, will be very gratefully received, no
matter how DID, and placed to good advan-
tage, and called for. Phone Beekman 403s.

Excluded

In no nation in the world is the mlnor'
itv race excluded from the government as
in the United States The oppressed roles
had voice in the German government
Irishmen have representatives in the BTU
ish Parliament, but the negro has no voice
in his own government
n the negroes are wise they will beware
If The propaganda of radical Socialists. 1t
is ,udierous TO read of the Attorney Cen
eral reporting that riots may be caused
bv the spread OF Bolshevist propaganda
among negroes, when in every case OF
rio, white men were always the aggressors.
We had heard nothing OF the BolshevIsts
at the time of the Atlanta or the East st.
Louis riots. Still, believe that the negro
has nothing to gain by joining hands with
the radicals. for it is the white worker, and
not the capitalist, that is the enemy Of the
negro Of this country to-day.
America seems to have had more than her
share of racial problems. The reason seems
70 be that the men of light and leading have
never tried hard to solve them. The ques-
tions that the negro asks the American peo-
ple to answer could be readily answered IL
there was an honest effort made to solve the
problem.
Is the right to share in the government on
some terms, and under some restrictions, the
right of all men or Of white men only?
What must the negro do in order to be rec
ognized by his government?
When you have excluded from the eiecto-
rate the convcts. the insane, the paupers,
the illterates and the non-psyers OF poll
taxes, can you then go on and exclude mill
ions of men because they have darker skins
protection from his government in case of
protection from his government in care Of
riots? On the solution of the above qucs-
tons depends the future of free government
in America. No white man need be de-
ceived, for all that any negro asks is to make
it possible for man to be both negro and
an American.

What the Negro Wants
By Benjamin Alvin Arnold

never get a square deal In the courts 10
long as all the judges, district attorneys
and iuries are white. There is not one
negro in thousand who believes that tne
moor negro without influential white frlehds
ever gets fair trial either IN the No''"
or the South.
The charge is made that when negroes
rovc into neighborhood it has tendency
N dcpreciate the value Of property. This
ia indeed hard to understand, for the negro
.,wovs NAYS more rent than his white
neighbor, and If he wants to buy the pr'ce
IL usually boosted sevefsi hundred do'isrs'
Negroes are not anxious to live IN wnits
d;stricts. but it is a fact that cannot DC ae-
MED that in nearly all of our large cities
negroes are paying as much, or more, rent
for novels in the slums than white peopis
are having for good houses with modern
conveniences on good wide streets. IL IL
not a desire to associate with white people
hut a desire to live decently that Is fore-
ing the self-respecting negro into wn''s
districts.
Education
know from experience that negroes are
not anxious to send their children 70
schools with white children, but Wherever
we find separate schools the negro scnoois
are neglected. Take, for instance, balt'.

one old-styled, poorly equipped high schoo''
According to the last census, the ne
croes while constituting but 1O.2 per cent
Of the total population of the United states
ten years of age and over, constituted AUS
oer cent of the iliterstes Of the country
In Mississippi the negroes have no voice
in the government, although they consti-
tute 5G.2 per cent Of the total population OF
that state. Mississippi approprIates slo'oo
for the education of each white child ana
1925 for each negro child. In one year
Mississippi gave $336,5s4 for the higher
education Of white children and sll,ooo for
negro children. Is it any wonder that
Northern negroes look with disfavor on any
movement for separate schools IN their
states!

In Politics

For many years politicians Of the Var

issue OF the race question. Quaking with
assumed fears, they have held up to the

titled mob rule and terrorism as the only
sure protection of Southern homes and
Southern womanhood. They have succeed

The coming OF the negro newspaper, WIN

MN Rrother,s Return

I was sitting near the blazing parlor
stove, reading war stories when the
phone rang. l heard my brother at the
other end Of the wire, and began a
lively conversation. He informed me
he was at Camp Mills, Long Island
That night l went to bed very happy
for my brother had come home from
over There"
Just one week after having talked
with him through the phone he came
home on a 24-hour leave. | had been
in bed for about two hours when 1 was
awakened by someone who was tick
ling my feet. 1 jumped up angry, and
to my establishment l found myself
looking into my soldier brothers ewes
My anger changed to JOY and he had
gone through his process of feet tick
ling and had everybody awake We
sat up late that night listening to his
adventures in the war
He was once driving his truck in a
very muddy place and had after much
something like 'Bzzz, Bzzz," but very
heard that noise before and knew it
loud splash and looked around to sec
the big shot sinking in the mud where
he had been half minute before. The
reason for its not exploding was be-
cause it had fallen in the soft mud
If it had exploded it would have torn
him and his motor truck to pieces.
He brought home many souvenirs
from the war, and came nome vtlhout
a scratch.
