known in military parlance was given
an ovation last Monday, Feb. 18th,
1919, that ought to make every'Negro

have done is so unusual and we are
so unaccustomed to applaud the races

The resolutions, adopted declared
that the right Of private contract

rections to the Interstate Commerce
Commission which would. provide
that rates should be so adjusted as
to yield a given return to the car
