RAIL KEYMEN
AID CAUSE OF
WIRE STRIKERS
Western Brokers Take Vote
on Strike Issue.
(By The Associated Press. }

CHICAGO. June 1.-THE oommer-
:ial telegraphers' strike now in its
!ourth day was given valuable assist
hnce, according to union officials
through the order. effective today. to
railroad telegraphers throughout the
country to decline to handle messages
from the Western Union and Postal
companies. Officials OF the telegraph
companies said refusal OF railroad op-
orators to handle commercial mes
sages would not interfere materially
with wire traffic, as only small part
OF their business was handled at rail-
road offices.
Union officials asserted that more
men were added to the ranks OF the
strikers during the last wen,y-tour
hours, while the company officials
claimed that quite number who
walked out have returned to work
The Western brokers division OF the
Commercial Telegraphcrs Union OF
America have decided TO take ret
erendum vote by mail OF their l,SGO
membership on the question OF joining
the strike. /, is expected the result
will be known in two or three days.
"The question OF simultaneous
Strike was thoroughly discussed" said
T. A. Davis, president OF the brokers
division; "and it was the consensus OF
opinion that no good could be ac-
oomplished by a simultaneous strike
The real issue consists Of the matter
OF broker men handling 'contrahand
matter in the form OF exchange news
and quotations which are furnished by
the commercial companies against
which the nationwide strike has been
called"
TOPEKA, Kans., Tune l4-Opera-
tors and linemen OF the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company numbering
nearly 800, voted to strike next Mon
day in sympathy with the telegraphcrs
OF the Western Union and Postal and
Tor recognition Of their union by the
tOmDlny 81.

INDIANS AGAINST SEGREGATION

Three hundred members of the
American Society of Indians, in an
nual convention at MINNEAPOLIS. voted
for the abolition of the U. S. govern
ment Indian Bureau.
The reasons given by speakers are
that Indians should be regarded the
same as other American citizens and
do not need supervision.
A remarkable thing in connection
with this pronouncement is the fact
that the editor of THE APPEAL, in
wire to the President just before he
left for the Peace Conference at Paris.
in December, 1918, suggested the
same idea in reference to the Ameri-
can Indian.
DR.. c. E. Eastman, Amherst, Mass.
president of the organization, in an
address said the Indians were not un-
derstood; and would not be in the
United States, until an Indian is presi-
dent
Even the American Indian, who was
robbed of his country by the Cau-
caslan, sees the menace Of segrega-
ton, to which so many colored men
are Indifferent; and, some, actually
claim desire.
Through the influence of certain
prominent colored men a negro"
bureau was established in the Depart
ment of Labor, as a war measure.
The war is over and it should be
abolished. Cut out the word negro"
in the government service. If all citi.
zens, regardless of race or color, are
moi subject to identical conditions be-
fore the law, then American democ-
racy is a fake.

committees without the color line.
The editor of THE APPEAL re-
celVed an appointment as a member
of "colored" committee for Mime
sofa but declined to serve.
Mr.. w. R. Morris, who was an.
pointed state chairman of the "col.
ored" committee declined to serve
and wrote Col. Thompson, the chair.
man of the National Roosevelt com.
mittee, that he did not approve of a
segregated committee. Mr.. THOMPSON
replied approving the stand of Mr.
Morris. Then Mr.. w. T. Francis and
others who were asked to be in the
segregated plan declined and the whole
thing failed.
The colored people of Minnesota re-
we're the memory of Roosevelt and are
contributing to the memorial fund lust
as other Americans, but they have de-
termined that they will not be lin
crowed.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1919-10-18
THE "coLoRED" COMMITTEE.

The plan of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association to have a segregated "col-
ored" committee in each state to raise
funds among the colored people is an
unnecessary drawing of the color line
and entirely wrong.
Such plan would have been repudi.
ated by Col. Roosevelt who was con.
spicuous advocate of equality. He
practiced what he preached and did
many things to break down the color
line.
-. For the men who head this affair
to set the colored people aside is really
an attempt to put blot on the record
and memory of great American.
The work could have been done just
as effectively by having colored men
as equal members of state and local
