CHICAGO GETTING
BACK TO NORMAL

(By The Associated Negro Press.l
Chicago. ILL.,, Aug. 14.--Chicago is
getting back to normal conditions
following a week of riot which
brought disaster and turmoil to the
worlds greatest city Of opportunity.
Soldiers and policemen are on the
guard in the riot territory but have
little or nothing to do. Citizens
of both races go without molestation
into the territory which week ago
had real dead line. Thursday, nine
thousand Colored workmen returned
to their labors at the various Stock
yards on the Southside where they
were unmolested by the whites. The
yards and territory surrounding it
were strongly guarded by soldiers
and policemen. Union laborers pro-
tested against armed guards. Union
men claim that they have no OBJ
jections to Colored people working
in the yards. 1t is believed that
the whole matter will be adjusted
within very short time.
Immediately following the serious
days Of the riot, It became apparent
that many people were suffering
from lack Of food. This brought an
idea to Virgil L. Williams, proprietor
of The Royal Gardens and he took
the matter up with Alderman Ander-
son. and jackson. Relief Stations
were opened In several parts of the
riot-torn district and in the effort
to provide for the hundreds, the
Urban League the Y. M. C. A. and
Red Cross co-operated in the fullest
way. Several thousand have been
provided with food.

PACKEnS STAND PAN.

The people, OF the United States.
through an insideous propaganda Of
publicity, and otherwise, have been
taught to regard the great packing
Industries, conferred in Chicago, with
distrust, suspicion and antagonism.
They have been pictured as colos-
sal, soulless bodies, always the enc
mics of the people. The people have,
through necessity, bought their pro-
ducts and cursed, but they have sell
dom stopped to think. That's where
a tremendous mistake has been made
and one filled with rank Injustice
to the packing industry.
In view Of the wide notoriety now
centering about the packing indus
try, the Associated Negro Press re-
CARDS 1t as a public duty to call
attention to certain things. These
things directly affect us as a group,
anu It is very necessary that they
be considered from our point of vie ".
There are five great packing cor
Germs, Of which, Armour and Com
pany Is the largest. All. Of them for
years have mrlayed men and women
OF our race. They have been con-
siderate and far in employing thern,
and besides paying excellent wages,
have offered splendid opportunities
for advancement. In no other in
dustry In America has there been
a better opening for what is known
as skilled workmen," than In the
packing industries.
TIE packers rave not been freer
from labor difficul les than other con-:
Germs, but they have taken the wise
position of letting the worlxnaen use
their own Judgment, either Joining
or remaining out of unions. Through
out II all, However, they have regard
ed the individual, regardless Of class
distinctions, on his real merits as
workman.

cation that better citizens make bet

duty to think, be careful, patient and |

IN BLACK BELT"

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. IA movement
is on foot headed by leading white
bushes men and corporations, to
provide accommodations for the con-
gested south side district. known as
the BLACK Belt" In that vicinity
there are hundreds of ramshackelled
houses as well as considerable va
cant property. II is the purpose to
provide fund of Three Million DOL
lars with which to build modern
homes and apartments for laboring
men and women and those who are
in the position to live in luxury.
This matter has been discussed for
some time and while the recent riot
has brought some light on the sub
ject of housing. that disaster was not
the cause of the movement. It is
being endorsed by the best people
of both races.

Just as the good news came that
law and order had triumphed In the
national capital to the extent that
1000 regular troops brought there
to keep the peace between whites
and blatcks could be withdrawn,
Chicago preceded to distinguish her
self with race riot Of her own.
1t is very serious question wheth-
er this outbreak of race rIoting in
cities wide apart is altogether a
matter Of chance. 1t is just possible
that behind it is some clever pro-
