NEGROES WANT
DELEGATES At
WILSON'S meet
Write Letter to President
Pointing Out That None
Are on His Commit
tee of ~.

The National Association for the
Advancement, of Colored People has
made public a letter to President
Wilson calling his attention to the
fact that no negroes had been among
the "a men from all parts OF the
country invited to meet in Washing
ton on October 6, to plan new rela-
tons between labor and capital.
The letter which is signed by
John R. Shillady, asks the appoint
ment of negroes to the commission
in proportion to the percentage
that negro labor forms of the coun-
try's total labor supply, namely II
per cent.
Letter to President.
September 10, 1919.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President
of the United States, Washing
ton, D. c. Sir:
The press of September Is tells
of the invitation extended by you
to twenty-five men residing in all
parts of the country to meet in
Washington, October 6, next to
formulate plans for development of
a new relationship between capital
and labor" The dispatch also tells
of the selection to be made later
of an additional and equal number
and organized employers.
May we not call your attention
to a fact that apparently was over
looked by you in the selection of
these men and one which we feel
should be brought to your attention
OF conferences by organized labor
and that Of the country at large.
According to the census Of 1910
there were in the United States at
that time 1922 negroes over 10
years of age, and Of that number
3,l92,s35, or II per cent, were en-
ployed in gainful occupations. Ac-
cording to the same records there
were in America 63,933,870 whites
10 years of age and over, of which
number only 32,o74,056, or slightly
less than so per cent, were employed
in gainful occupations. We wish to
call your attention to the fact that
no one of the twenty-five persons
invited by you to sit on this COM
mission is of the colored race, al
though, according to the above rec
ords one of every six wage earners
in the United States Is of the colored
race.
Emigration to Europe.
"We may also remind you Of the
fact that due to the exigencies aris-
ing as a result of the war, immigra-
ton from Europe has been changed
to emigration to Europe. The in
dustrial vacuum thus created has, to
a large extent, been filled and will
continue to be filled by negro work
men from the south. With his la
Dor thus taking on a value hitherto
unknown, the negro becomes more

Pays $500 for ITO
Cases Of River Water
Thinking 1t Is Whisky

Pittsburgh, Sept. 27.-For 10
cases of dirty river water, $500.
That's what Louis Petrussi paid
to sharp witted individuals here and
for whom the law officers are now
looking.
Petrussi, who lives in neigh
boring city, came to Pittsburgh to
buy contrs3and liquor. He was
taken in hand by the sharpers and
led to an abandoned wholesale
shop. Here he was given a SAM
pie of the very best brand OF whisky
and was told that all Of the cases
he saw contained more of the same.
Unsuspecting, Petrussi paid over
the cash.

California Man Has
More Varied Titles.
Than Anyone In U. S

Marysville, Cal, Sept. 27.-The
man said to hold more concurrent
positions than any man in the
United States is Harry E. Hyde,
former mayor of this place. While
Hyde held the office of mayor of
Yuba county's metropolis, he said
his claim to wearing more titles
than any man in the world could
not be disputed. Now he says there
is man in the United States who
can boast of as many titles. Here
is partial list of titles Hyde now
wears:
Member of the Board of Super
visors.
Chairman Of his party's county
central committee.
Sunday school superintendent.
Leader of the church choir.
Superintendent of the streets.
Superintendent of the sewers.
Custodian of the street sweeper

life of the country. In any discus
sion of the relations of the future
between capital and labor, and par
ticularly in view of the present un-
rest, may we not ask if it is at all
wise to ignore in this manner nearly
II per cent of the labor of America?
May we not, therefore, ask that if
it is possible you appoint represen-
tatives of cplored labor at least in
proportion to the percentage that
negro labor forms of the country's
total labor supply? Respectfully
yours, Secretary"

the past four years he has been asso-
ciated with the store of which he has
become a part owner.

First Essential for Co-Operation

The division of research in agricul-
tural economics at University Farm,
after having made a protracted study
of cooperation by farmers, finds that
Minnesota leads all the states in the
number Of cooperative companies. It
finds too, that Minnesota's lead is
not likely to be challenged for many
years to come. Sound economic need
is cited by the investigators as the
basis for a successful cooperative
company. "Such need exists" they
declare, where the present markets
give poor service or take too large
profits; where the present marketing
system is wasteful and expensive,
and whenever the farmers by COM
bining can reach better markets with
their products or teach themselves
to turn out better products

organization was perfected. They
went as far as they could in organ
izing. A temporary chairman and

to draw up and submit a constitu-
ton.
The meeting was characterized
with vigor and vim, with enthusiasm
such as is fostered in a volunteer
army where everyone shares the COM
mon danger. It was meeting tenn
pered with good will and much eX-
pectancy, the organization being
formed, not merely for what social
attributes it might have, but for the
nations as we'll as their own well
fare Chokio takes off it's hat and with
it's glad hand and mighty grip, well
comes these stalwart sons who stand
for right and justice, and for that
fine sense of Americanism which reg

Gale S. Golden, who was the first
one from this vicinity to make the
supreme sacrifice. He died in France
in October 1918. Gale was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Golden Of

Evening With a Membership of

Hancock Record.-Charles Nc
Arthur Post No. 374 American Le-
gion, was organized at the meeting
held at the Opera House last Tues
as a social smoker under the auspices
of the T. and c. Club and a right
royal good time was had by all pres
ent if one can take the word of the
boys who we're there. The
first hour or so was spent in getting
acquainted and then a most timely
movie show was put on after which
the audience listened to one of the
best talks we have heard for a long
time. It was given by DR.. L. r. S.
Ferguson, rector of the church of the
Messiah at st. Paul. After a brief
description of the countries Of France
and Germany and their people the
doctor told what was the object in
organizing the order of the American
Legion and in brief explained what
it hoped to accomplish. Then he en-
phasiZed the fact that not all of the
work Of the boys was accomplished
when the war was over but that
there now remained just as import
ant work in making this country safe
from internal troubles and en-
phatically declared that here there
could be but the one flag, just the
old red, white and blue that the boys
had carried to new glory across the
sea and neither the red flag nor any
other flag could or should be per-
mitted to wave in the free air of our
land save only Old Glory If ap-
plause counts for anything in judg-
ing the sentiments of a crowd it was
the unanimous sentiment Of that
audience at least that the one flag
was the only one and that hereafter
one hundred per cent Americanism
was the only brand that would be
tolerated. It meant not only one flag,
one standard of an absolute square
deal for everyone but one language
as we'll and the speaker urged strong
ly that only the American language
be allowed to be taught in our
schools, either public or private and
in the course Of very few years this
in itself would do away with the
desirability of even preaching in a
foreign language. The speaker was
with the American Army of Occu
patton holding the rank of Senior
Chaplain and was we'll Informed as
to actual conditions and we'll quail

Purebred Should Head Every Herd

A good purebred bull for every
dairy herd, whether composed of
scrubs or grades, is recommended by
the federal department of agricul-
ture in advices received at Univers-
ity Farm. It is pointed out that the
daughters of a scrub COW and pure
bred dairy sire are only grades, but
often their production records are
double the records of their DAMS If
these daughters are then bred to first
class purebred dairy bulls Of the same
breed and from ancestry of proven
merit, the granddaughter may be-
come high grades of large produc-
ton. In this way each generation
may advance to higher levels. The
descendants of grade COWS and pure
bred bulls can not be registered, but
in production of milk and butterfat
they may equal purebred.
