SGhWab DlspsIs All Fear OF

This Country.
(The Associated Negro pressl

(The Associated Negro PreaS).
New York, April 10.-To illustrate
his faith in the saneness and truth
worthjness of the American people,
their democracy and disinclination to
accept anything like Bolshevism,
Charles NJ Schwab, capitalist and in
dustrial chief, has told q story of
an experience coming over recently
from Europe.
There was large number of Ne
gro soldiers on the ship that brought
Mr.. Schwab oyer and there was a
canteen. He noted that one big SOL
der failed to buy anything. Telling
the story Mr.. Schwab said: "T went
up to him and said: What's the
idea? Are you broke? "Sir', he said,
"I haven't seen a pay day in five
months "'Well, | said, 'T'm going
to loan you dollar. It's yours
and you needn't trouble about getting
it back to me, That gave me an
idea. / decided to test those men
Just for the fun Of the experiment

to help out any Of them who were
broke and one hundred fifty-four of
them responded. To each said
something like this; Now you need
not pay this back If you don't want
to. You know me, and where l am
at. Suit yourself. Do you know
what? Up to date, one hundred
thirty-eight of those boys have sent
me the money they borrowed. It
came out as | expected The boys
were sound to the core. That's one
of the main reasons I'm not worry

Virginia Whites llssITs 10 Force
COIOred Girls Into Domestic
Service.

(The Associated Negro Press).
Richmond, Va, April 10.-A number
of wealthy white women formed an
organization, and state as the OBJ
ject, the securing, Of Colored girls
as domestics. They claim that since
the beginning of the war, Colored
girls have been given positions in
other places than households, and the
matter will be taken up with the
Retail Merchants Association, urging
that the Colored girls be released
from their present jobs have them
filled with whites, and make it neces-
sary for the Colored girls to again
take up domestic service.
The Colored girls are protesting,
not because, they claim. there is any
thing disgraceful connected with
housework, but because they feel
that they should be permitted to re-
tain their present advantages, and
have the right to choose for them
selves, as others, where they shall
work.

Atlanta Gathering Outlines Re-
construction Aims
Of the Negro.
(The Associated Negro Press),


Atlanta, Ca, April 10.-What is
regarded as one of the most sign
ficant gatherings ever held in this
country, took place in this city under
the direction of the National War
Work Council, for the promotion of
reconstruction work among Colored
people.
More than one hundred picked
delegates, representing the highest
and most thoughtful type of Negro
manhood and womanhood, attended,
as well as a number of white social
workers. Representatives were pres
ent from Alabama, Georgia, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Florida North and
South Caroline ~
Every person present had vis-
ion and let it be understood that
their object was to work without
ceasing for equality of opportunity
in the fullest sense OF the word.
A summary of the program outlined
to be carried out in every state of
the South is: the removal of Jim
crowism, equal travelling accomoda-
tions on public carriers, accomoda-
tions at public places, registering
and qualifying Colored men and re-
turned soldiers to vote, The slogan
for the work adopted was Push
the Program"
The subject of Negro Leaders"
was given an arising, it being de-
clared that no''hand picked leaders"
would be recognized, that the people
themselves must name ther leaders,
and at not vent should they be
known as Community workers" It
was stated that too often so called
Race leaders" are the mere tools
of white men neither of whom have
any real regard for the welfare of
the race.

(The Associated Negro Press).
New York, April 10.-New Workers.

their heads together, in frank and
open way. as the result Of the re-
cent occurrence in Harlem, where
a crowd of more than 300 people
waited for a motorman. who had
fiagrantly mistreated Negro soldier.
There is no intention to minimize
the effects of this state of affairs.
In talking to the Negroes Of the
Harlem district, it is learned that
there is no disposition to permit
Greeks, Jews, Italians, Irish and
other foreign elements to carry on
their nefarious conduct of exhibiting
color prejudice.
There is no disposition on the
part Of the Negroes to agitate dis
order, but there is a burning de-
termination to see that everybody
get fair play and square deal. That

(The Associated Negro Press.
Chicago, ILL.,, April 10.-The Negro
voters of Chicago, more than $4,000
In number, have been acclaimed by
the Democratic leaders as the one
contributing factor in the reelection
Of Mayor William Hale Thompson as
Mayor. This fact was also attested
this week by all of the daily news
papers, both in their news stories
and editorially.
Mayor Thompson was elected, ac-
cording to present figures, by about
$4,000 votes, and more than 1000
vote plurality, was given him in the
Second Ward, said by The Chicago
Tribune to be "the greatest Colored
ward in the world" To this ward
must be added the pluralities in the
Third and Fourteenth wards, where
thousands of Negro voters also live,
an6 it is easy to be seen that Mayor
Thompson owes his political success
to the Negro voters of Chicago.
Every daily newspaper in Chicago
opposed the Mayor. The last days
of the campaign were imbittered by
personalities, and many rampant
white partisan opponents of the May
or publicly denounced his friend
ship for the Negro" which the Mayor
just as publicly acclaimed everywhere
he had an opportunity, because, he
declared in a specially prepared state
ment for The Associated Negro Press,
following the election:
81 have given fair representation
to the Colored people of Chicago be-
cause as Republicans they have help
ed nominate and elect me, and, sec
ondly, as American citizens they are
entitled to their quorta Of representa-
tons in governmental affairs.
They contributed their quota to
the armed forces Of the nation and
performed valiant service for their
country. From the records at hand
it cannot be denied that they dis
charged their duties OF American sol
diers with as great degree of brav-
cry and heroism as any other ele-
ment in the American armies"
"The election proves that the Negro
that he believes in standing by his
friends" declared Maj. r. r. Jack
son, to the Associated Negro Press
Chicago achievements give heart to
the Negroes throughout the nation,
he continued, "and we are in a
position to accomplish great things
if we pull together"
Maj. jackson, with Louis B. Ander-
son, reelected, are the alderman OF
th Scond Ward, Alderman of the
Second Ward, Alderman Anderson

floor leaders, and both men are re-
garded as being among the foremost
men of the Council.

poration Counsel; Dr. A. j. Carey

what To Do With The Negro
The Problem Increases.
(The Associated Negro Pressl.


Boston, Mass, April 10.-Alfred w.
Anthony, d. D., white, secretary of
the National Home Missions Coun-
Gil, in an address before a great
throng here at meeting of the In
ter Church World Movement, declared
"The war caused the migration Of
100000 Negroes from the South to
the North. The return of the troops
is throwing a great many of these
men out of jobs. 1t is double prob
lem. 1t has created a scarcity Of
labor in the South and surplus of
labor in some places in the North.
There is an appalling situation in
some OF our cities. Negroes there
are living in accommodations not
fit for swine They are charged
twenty dollars month for sty
in which to house themselves. More
than that, they are ostracized by their
own race. The Negro from the
South is countryman. The North
ern Negro is an aristocrat who looks
down upon his Southern Brother.
This problem is especially acute in
Detroit, Baltimore, New York and
other cities"

Plan.
.qlTrus Ieus Ga


Washington, April 10.-That opin-
ion is rapidly forming throughout
the country against the covenant oi
the League of Nation as conceived
Oy England and presented by Pres
ident Wilson, has been made amply
evident by the tremendous ovation
accorded Senator William e. Borah
of Idaho, recognized as the leader
of the opposition, on his speaking
tour.
In Boston, where, with Senator
Thomas, Democrat of Colorado, he
addressed six thousand people, there
was an overflow meeting OF another
three thousand outside. In Brooklyn
four thousand people heard him sni
there was another great overflow.
And so 1t was also in Troy. Albany
Rochester and Cleveland.
''The people ar beginning 20 re-
alize what the league means in the
impairment of American sovereignty
and therefore they arr ag inst it,
said the Senator upon his return
"The people as mass are given nc
voice in its machinery. They can de-
ermine nothing concerning the wal
or policies. In 1t they hal no chect
upon its officers. American labor
too, is beginning to realize that Its
protection against alien immigration
would benullii. ed by the league. Thi!
phase of it is becoming more i'm
portant with Japan's demand fol
express recognition of rights o
equality of treatment. We are givel
one vote out os nine, and If we yielt
now japan vils always manipulat,
with other meinbers so as to over
come our objections.
'aThe league constitutes. as it nov
reads, unquestionably claims juris
diction over immigration. 1t is per
fectly clear that Japan is raising
the question of further terms as t
racial equality for the purpose O
drawing attention away from the dis
cussion and preventing the modifi
cation Of clauses already in the COW
enant with which she will be salts
fed Those supporting the present
drait would turn the question o.
Chinese and Japanese immigration
over to tribunal composed for The
most part of aliens. If carried ,out
this would ultimately put the Amer
lean standard Of labor on the leve'
with the Orient Democratic mem
bers OF the Senate who support The
President solely on party grounds
ia this matter would place theil
party regularity above the rights Of
American lapor. This American
people at tirst favored the League oi
Nations as something to prevent

not sacrifice their dependence in ad.

A studied program, of insolence
