STEEL STRIKE SITUATION
DIV Associated NEGRO Pressl

(By Associated Negro Press)
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The nation
wide strike in the steel industry has
occupied the center of the stage dur
ing the last week. Particularly is this
true among our people who are en-
ployed by thousands in this particular
field.
For more than a quarter of cen
tury Colored men have been used for
the steel industry. The first great mi
grafton from the South after the war
occurred during a similar strike in
Pittsburg more than twenty-five years
ago, when thousands of men were
brought north by Andrew Carnegie
and others, to work with the promise
that they would be given permanent
employment In this particular respect
the word was kept, and as result
there are thousands of prosperous peo-
pie in Pittsburg and other parts OF
Pennsylvania, who own their property
have been able to educate their chill
dren and have made excellent citizens
because of the industrial opportunity
An attempt has been made to use
Colored workers as strike breakers in
the present difficulties and trainload
of them were ready to leave the Hi
nois Central station in Chicago when
word was sent down the line by pick
cts for the strikers. 1t was deemed
unwise to send the men. Soap and
grease were put on the tracks, making
| it impossible for the wheels of the
train to move.
There is a serious economic factor
in this present strike aside from the
subject of unionisc1. 1t is claimed by
some that the majority of the strikera
are foreigners and aliens, who have
no regard for American institutions
and patriotism. 1t is believed by many
that so far as the Colored industrial
workers are concerned, their status
will be favorably affected by the
strike, because of the well-known pat
riotic loyalty and industrial depend
ability of Colored workers.
The strike situation is forcibly
bringing out the fact that thousands
of the foreigners are using the oppor-
tunity to return to their native land
with their savings account of good
American money in amounts from
$4,000 to 100000.

ton. He was made judge advocate

shing, was in several engagements at
the front, and was cited for bravery
in one of the important engagements
On his return to this country he was
appointed the chief trial lawyer in the
case of the fourteen Colored soldiers
condemned to death for alleged at
tempt to assault white woman. The
new trial was ordered by President
Wilson personally, and resulted in Sin
of the men being acquitted through
Captain Johnson's untiring efforts, anc
it is expected that others will be re
leased when the case is reviewed by
the advocate general.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 22.-What

color before humanity even in the face

tragic happening which took place at

Whether this be so or not, it is certain

That your readers may understand
the situation it is well to state that
Galveston, which is located on an isl
and, mile and half from the main
land, from which it is separated by
the waters of Galveston bay, has been
almost totally destroyed twice by
storms and floods, once in 1900 and
again in 1915. Naturally, then when
storm signals are raised over the Gus.
toms house, there is always anxiety
about the safety of the people on the
island, and preparations are begun TO
take the inhabitants from the danger
zone to Houston, which is fifty miles
distant, and adjacent territory. That
was the case last week. When the
news was heralded that storm was
sweeping up from Yucatan bringing
death and destruction to Brownsville
and Corpus Christi and was headed fol
Galveston, relief trains were immedi
ately assembled to convey the endan

fact that the colored population Of

PUBLICITY A GREAT WEAPON
(By Associated Negro Press)

(By Associated Negro Press)
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The great
value of proper and sensible publicity
in working out the problems of race
adjustment is attracting national at
tention at this time. Not only are
the Race newspapers performing a
very important part in acquainting the
people, but the great daily newspapers
and magazines are devoting more
space to the subject than ever before
and no fair-minded person can ques-
ton the value of this important and
necessary work. Members of the
United States senate and house of rep
resentatives, as well as other public
officials, are recognizing the import
'ance and need of such work.
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
in a statement to the Associated Ne
gro Press made the following remark
able utterances:
ut would be very sorry contradic-
ton to the policy of the developing of
democracy if the Colored people of the
country should not find marked ad-
vancement in this fluid state of world
civilization, and it is very pleasing to
note the growth of Colored publicity
service, which means that educational
advancement and intelligent enlight-
eminent, which always speak OF the
progress of any people.
Publicity is going to be the great
est weapon of all in furthering the
cause of the Colored people of the
United States"
Preparations are being made to car
ry on the greatest publicity campaign
for race adjustment ever known in this
country.
