CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRO-
NOTE GOOD WILL BETWEEN
RACES.

Norfolk, Va.-Norfolk Chamber OF
Commerce has a committee on
labor, of which a Negro has been
made a member. The City also has
Negro Workers Advisory Commit
tee composed OF three white city
officials and twenty-five Colored men
and women. In the acute labor
shortage OF the past year both these
committees have rendered signal SER
vice in eniisting the interest and
help of the Negro workers OF all
grades. Backed by the whites these
Negroes card-indexed every Negro cap
able Of work, and then carried on a
campaign of education which brought
the desired results by the force of
enlightenment and moral suasion
alone. An officer of the Chamber of
Commerce writes of white and Col
ored workers alike every able bodied
man and boy in the community had
his shoulder to the wheel in an eff
fort to win the war"
Following this service the city
authorities on receiving complaints
OF conditions in the Negro section,
asked the Advisory Committee to
submit a program of improvements,
showing each street and the work
needed. Their report, after due con-
sideration, was adopted by the coun-
Gil. and the work is already under
way.
This cooperative plan works well
in Norfolk. Friction is reduced, the
labor supply increased and made
more. and good feeling between the
races promoted.
In Knoxville, Tenn. the Board Of
Commerce is working out a plan of
cooperation also. 1t has appointed
a committee to assist the Negroes
of the city to form a Business and
Civic League whose aim is the inn
provement of civic and economic
conditions among the Negroes of
Knoxville. The work of the white
committee is purely advisory; but
the Board and the League will work
together for the business and civic
welfare of the community at large.

Race Newspapers.

New Orleans, La. ltem).
Unfortunately is more or less
incendiary Negro press in the North.
These papers are sold largely because
they continually harp on the alleged
wrongs committee against Negroes,
and because they are constantly ap-
pealing to race consciousness.
They collect the most iurid stories
from every quarter which when they
are read and believed. are bound to
stir up bitter animosities and resent
ments among the Negroes. They are
less newspapers than race progan-
da sheets.
These papers and leades, encourage
ed by Northern Negroes, who have
political, social and financials ends
to gain, keep great elemen' Of the
Negro race in a constant attitude Of
hostility toward their white neigh
bors.

THREE BEAUMONT TWIRLERS
ENGAGED IN A NO HIT AND NJ
RUN GAME.
BY VIM. Ross.

Beaumont, Texas, Aug. 2S.-The
Black Oilers which were scheduled
to play the Black Aces of San An
tonic, series of four games here
did not play as they had planned
because the white club was due to
leave Friday night for Galveston and
play there but as the Galveston
whites have drawn such small crowds
at home here of late until the club
owners transferred the games here
and that blocked the game for the
Coiored boys, but manager Liston
and Captain Ross got busy with the
wire and got game over at Orange,
Texas. The Orange club had been
beating all Corners until they hooked
up with the oilers. The Orange
crew only proved to be a picnic for
the Oilers. Captain Ross sent Hunter
to the Mound and he worked five
innings and retired without low
ing a hit and then Ross began firing
at the boys and he worked three in
nings without giving UP hit and
Lotion pitched the last round without
being hit safe.
The Oilers will play the Black
Buffaloes of Houston here Sunday
and Monday, Aug. 81 and Sept. LIST.
The Buffaloes are turf bunch for
the Oilers to handle and they are
preparing to play a bang up game.
a record breaking crowd is expected
out to witness these games.
Back to the game at Orange, the
fans there say the Oilers are the
best bunch they have ever seen on
the local lot. Captain Ross showed
the fans some real base ball in the
fourth inning when the Oilers secured
three runs without the ball being
hit out the infield. This is the first
game the Oilers have played under
Captain Ross and they all seem to
like his way of handling them so

BOOKS NEEDEDFOR
MEN in HOSPIT AIS

"There are tens of thousands of
wounded men in our army hospitals
and every returning transport and
hospital ship brings more thousands.
Many of these men will be in hospitals
for months, some of them for year
or more, before they are sufficiently
recovered to be discharged from the
army.
"These men need books. They need
books more than they need almost
anything else except surgical care and
nursing"
Herbert Putnam, Librarian Of Con-
gress, who is general director of the
library war service of the American
Library Association, thus directs at
tention to an opportunity for service
that is open to everyone. For the
books that are needed for our men in
hospitals and those in camps awaiting
rehabilitation are the books that are
on the book shelves of almost every
American home. ..".
"What these men need in reading
matter is good current fiction" said
DR.. Putnam. "The American Library
Association has supplied and is sup
plying technical and educational
books by thousands to meet the insist
end demands Of our men in uniform
for that class of reading matter. These
books have to be bought, and almost
all of the funds available for the as
sociation's library war service are re-
quired for this purpose and for the
maintenance of the service.
"For fiction and general literature
we have to depend largely on gifts
from the public Since last spring
more than three million gift books
have been placed in the hands of our
soldiers and sailors. Books wear out,
an dthese books have been widely scat
tered among the camps on this side
and overseas, so now we have no re-
serve supply of good fiction to draw
on for the pressing need of the mo-
ment, which is in the hospitals and the
! rehabilitation camps.
"Every good recent book that can be
spared from anyone's personal book
shelf will find it's way quickly into the
hands of some soldier rsailor who
needs mental relaxation and recreation
if it is taken or sent at once to the
nearest public library. Every public
library in the United States is q re-
ceiving station for Library War Serv-
ice. and books received are forwarded
as speedily as possible to the hospitals
and demobilization camps"
