Colored Woman
Burned in Hotel Fire
Especial to Whip

Salt Lake City, Sept. 90.-The AL
bany hotel, located $40 W. Second
South ST, was burned today. Charles
Cheetam is being held on suspicion
of being an incendiary in connection.
Miss Lula Johnson, 30 years old, a
tenant of the hotel, died of suffocation
and many others are suffering from
slight burns. Miss johnson was res
cued by a fireman when she crawled
beneath a bed, being trapped by the
flames.
Evidence points that the guests had
participated in an orgy and had con-
sumed quantities of denatured alcohol.

her citizens in another country can
also protect her citizens at home,
whatever their color or previous con-
dition.
He must cooperate with the forces
which tend to bring the race question
to the fore for investigation, knowing
that it can not be changed by being
allowed to lie dormant. For a thing
which is quiet is already settled and
must be agitated if it has not been
settled to suit those most interested
For example: The thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Federal Constitution We're sup
posed by our friends to have settled
the status of the Negro; but that set
Element did not and does not suit our
oppressors; so they have been and are
strenuously agitating the question of
having the amendments Especially the
Efficiently repealed.
Again: The iniquitous constitutions
of several southern states have in a
manner nullified the aforesaid amend
ments, and our friends in the North
are agitating the question by threat
ening to reduce southern representa-
ton in the national congress.
1t requires agitation to shake up
things again and again until the set
ting is satisfactory. Therefore the
Negro must cooperate with the agi-

Negroes Ask President
for Representation at
Industrial Conference

New York, Sept. 26.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People today made public a
letter to President Wilson calling his
attention to the fact that no Negroes
had been among the twenty-five men
from all parts of the country invited
to meet in Washington on Oct. to
plan new relations betweesn labor and
capital.
The letter which is signed by John
r. Shillady, asks the appointment of
Negroes to- the commission in proper
ton to the percentage that Negro la
Dor forms of the country's total labor
supply, namely, II per cent.
The letter reads:
September 10, 1919.
"Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States.
Washington, 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 next to formulate plans for
development of a new relationship be-
tween capital and labor The dispatch
also tells of the selection to be made
later of an additional and equal num-
Der of conferees by organized labor
and organized employers.
MAY we not call your attention TO
a fact that apparently was overlooked
by you in the selection Of these men
and one which we feel should also be
brought to your attention and that of
the country at large?
According to the census of 1910
there were in the United States at
that time 7,317,922 Negroes over 10
years of age and of that number S.
1885, or II per cent, were employed
in gainful occupations. According to
the same records there were in Amer
lea 63,933, $40 whites 10 years of age
and over Of which number only 49,
974,056, or slightly less than so per
cent, were employed in gainful occu-
pations. We wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that no one of the
twenty-five persons invited by you to
sit on this commission is of the colored
race, although, according to the above
records one of every six wageearners
in the United States is of the colored
race.
MAY we not also remind you of
the fact that due to the exigencies
arising as a result of the war immi-
grafton from Europe has been changed
to emigration to Europe. The indus
trial vacuum thus created has, to a
large extent, been filled and will con-
tinue to be filled by Negro workmen
from the South. With his labor thus
taking on a value hitherto unknown
the Negro becomes more and more a
factor in the industrial life of the
country. In any discussion of the rela-
tons of the future between capital and
labor, and particularly in view Of the
present unrest, may we not ask if it
is at all wise to ignore in this manner
nearly seventeen per cent of the labor
of America? May we not, therefore,
ask that if it is possible you appoint
representatives of colored labor at
least in proportion to the percentage
that Negro labor forms of the coun-
try's total labor supply?
Respectfully yours,
"John r. Shillady,
"SecYetarv."

Opportunity Before College


Being the center of the s.-ciar, intel
lectual and business life of the repub-
lie, the college has the opportunity to
prepare and mold the lives of the edu-
Gators, statesmen, soldiers, lawyers,
physicians, clergymen, social leaders,
merchants, artisans and farmer. These
men in turn shape the lives and affairs
of the leaders of the native criDes liv-
ing on the coast and in the interior of
Africa. It's opportunity for the civili-
cation and leadership in Africa is
bounded only by the waters that wash
its coasts.
The college must take its natural
and legitimate place in Africa-de-
velop African thought, carry on re-
search work, create schools of agri-
culture, science, medicine, law and re-
ligion-in word, grow into an African
university to which students from all
parts of the world can resort for
study and research. This will bring
back to Africa the palmy days of
Egyptian science, art and literature.
Such a state of affairs will make for
the self-determination of African peo-
pies; there will be built up a real and
enduring democracy in Africa-phys-
zeal, mental, moral, social, economic,
religious emancipation.

eral Definite promises have been made
amounting to $500 more.
In the Country Until November
The president of the college expects
to be in the country until November,
during which he stands ready to give
any information desired regarding the
college and its work. He is ready to
attend and make addresses or give
lectures before mass meetings, organ
izations-social, civic, literary or re-
ligious-in promotion of the college.
If his plans mature he hopes to get
some teachers from the United States.
He hopes he may be able to secure a
competent male and female teacher to
go with him to assist in the work of
the college.

PENN STUDENTS PLAN
DEBATES FOR SEASON
Forensic Teams Get Into Action
for Collegiate Year One
Extemporaneous Meet

Debating at the University Of Penn
sylvania is to be live activity, IL plans
outlined by the University debate coun-
Gil are approved by the University au.
thorities.
The debate council, which controls
completely the destinies of debating at
Penn, proposes to make the varsity S
forensic teams the equal of any at con
temporary schools, by according to de =
batting the attention it receives at other
institutions.
The council met yesterday afternoon
In the rooms of the Zelosophic Literary
Society in College Hall, and arranged a
tentative schedule. The first debate is to
be arranged with Tulane University at
New Orleans, Following this there is
to be a novel extemporaneous debate
with Princeton. Probably this will have
q dual nature, Princeton sending n team
of her orators here and one of Penn's
teams going to Princeton. In addition
to these two debates the Red and Blue
will meet Syracuse. according to an
agreement made with that university
last year. The season will probably be
ended with the annual intercollegiate
