RACE SPIRIT SHOWN
GEORGIA WHITES REBUILD
CHURCHES

Cordele, Ga, Nov. IA remarkable
proceeding on the part Of the white
citizens of this place took place short
while ago, when a massmeeting was
held to consider the restoring of the
Negro church buildings, which were de-
stroyed by mob several weeks ago. A
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the damage done and to report the
amount to be raised to make good this
destruction. .
The committee reported as fol-
lows:
4 Pursuant to and in connection with
q massmeeting held at the court house
some weeks ago concerning the burning
of Negro churches in the county, q
number Of white and colored citizens
met at the site of one Of these churches
Thursday and made an investigation Of
the number Of churches destroyed and
tho cost Of rebuilding them. It de-
veloped at this meeting that there were
three churches destroyed. A careful
estimate Of the amount necessary for
material only was placed at $4,000 for
the three. It being thought that if the
white people provided the material that
the Negroes would do all the building.
Those present both white and colored,
agreed that this would be just and
agreeable division Of the burden.

Colored Chemist The Discoverer
OF New Dye Process

gave up position of $500 per month
as consulting chemist in New York
firm to develope the American Color
company. Mr.. Keehlan is best known
as the chemist who last year offered the
ordnance department in Washington an
explosive more deadly than INT. and
who was given commission as captain,
which was withdrawn, when lit was
found out that he was colored. His
formula for synthetic dyestuff is being
used to produce colors that are 80 per
cent chemically pure. A memorandum
from a leading clinical laboratory in
New York where an analysis of Ameri-
can Color company's dyes were made,
was exhibited here by Mr.. Davidson.
1t read, "We regard the product as
superior to anything on tn emarket. "
The ordinary American dyes are only
s5 per cent chemically Ire, which ac-
counts for the fact that German dye.
stuffs dominate the American market.
The American Color company is pre-
pared to market so products and by
products, among them cheaper and bet
ter ink for the making of carbon paper.

A Cancellation board of two for the
printers and two for the publishers
will settle the wage scale increase
asked by the printers. AT midnight
last night Frank Baker, publisher
of the Ledger and the News
Tribune, was still holding to his
original demands for a board of
arbitration to settle the new wage
scale. The arbitration board is OBJ

ground that the fifth man, selected

sides with the employers.

Coal Prices

Director General of Railroads
William G. McAdoo and his chief
financial adviser, John SHELTON
Williams, made a vigorous attempt,
said Mr. Lewis, to secure coal for
railroad use at lower rate than
the prevailing Government price,
fixed by the United States Fuel
Administration. One means of
hammering down coal prices was to
guarantee a full car supply to those
operators willing to cut prices. Mr..
Lewis denounced this action as an
injustice which was corrected only
when the miners carried the case
to President Wilson, who decided
that the railroads should pay the
same price for coal that was paid
by industrial and domestic con-
sumers. This made possible a more
equal distribution of employment
in the mining districts. But Di-
rector General Walker d. Hines
the same tactics when he
assumed office and the officials of
the United Mine Workers were
compelled to make a hard fight to
bring him in line. Mr.. Lewis said;
There is no valid reason why the
railroads of the United States, con-
Stunning as they do approximately
one-third of the bituminous coal
production, should not be obliged to
pay the same relative prices for their
tonnage as the consuming public.
This is the only way in which do
nestle consumers can be protected.
In purchasing coal below the pre-
vailing market prices, the railroads
simply transfer to the back of the
domestic consumers the difference
between their purchasing price and
the cost of production, together with
potential profits. During the period
industrial expansion, in
Cident to the war. our union was
continually met by arguments from
operating interests refusing to grant
increased wages and improved work
ing conditions because of the penu-
riouS purchasing attitude of the
railroad corporations. our unions
should continue to insist with all
possible emphasis that proper pol
icy in respect to this matter be fol-
lowed by the railroads of the coun-
, ~
