Deprived of the directing hands of

The operators, so far as available

plans to combat the strike.
Reports from various railroad cen,

PLAN TO ESTABLISH
INDEPENDENT STATE
FOR COLORED PEOPLE
(By Associated Negro Press).

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1.-Plans
for establishment of free and in
dependent Negro state, partly within
the boundaries of the United States,
have been presented to the senate for
eign relations committee and the
house committee on foreign affairs by
Dr. M. M. Madden, a Negro attorney
of Oklahoma City, Okla, and a spe-
cial subcommittee of the house COM

Dr. Madden's plans.
Delegates representing each of the
48 states are in the city in support
of the project, having been appointed
at the general conference of the Free
Viii Methodist church, Colored, in st.
Louis, last August.
The project as outlined by DR.. Mad

purchase or cession of a tract 500
miles square in Mexico bordering OH
the Rio Grande river and the Gulf of
Mexico. It is stated that negotiations
already have been instituted with the

Literally riddled with bullets and

look life square in the eye and smile!
If the stitches ever come out OF

his head and body get loose he'll lust
naturally fall apart. But do you think
the contemplation Of such a disaster
bothers him or chokes the laughter
in his heart?
Not on your dageurreotype! "Ser-
geant Jack" not only rings up nor

sings the folksongs of his race in q
rich and pleasing baritone which
helped to coax $S,5OO,0OO out Of the
American pockets for Liberty and Vic
tory tonds. and has helped him to
persuade many an almost persuaded"
to- enlist in the army, navy and marine
corps.
Mason received all OF his wounds
in the service of his country. He got
all but ten of them in the single en-
gagement of Belleau Wood, "the Get
tysburg Of Europe" The rest he
achieved in the Philippines, Mexico
and China, during his Is years service
in the regular army.
He has most all of the decorations

grateful nations could bestow. He
wears the distinguished service cross
of America; the Croix de Guerre and
Medaille de Legion d'Honneur of

Sergeant Jack has three silver

YELLOW JOURNALS
MAY BE BARRED
FROM U. S. MAILS
(By Assoclated Negro Pressl

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 1.-Nu-
merous complaints are being made to
the post office department against va
rious Negro publications that are al
legged to be melting race hatred, it
was learned today.
Officials Of the department pointed
out that in measure the depart
ment's hands were tied in forbidding
the mails to these publications, be-
cause of. the lack of an adequate law
covering the subject. Several bills
bearing on the subject and looking to
an amendment of the present law COW
ering news matter Of revolutionary
character are now before congress,
but no final action has yet been taken
on any of them, officials of the de-
partment said.
1t was pointed out that much OF
this matter could have been excluded
from the mails while the war was in
progress, as at that time 1t would
have affected army discipline and
morale, ot'structed the draft and him
dered the raising Of loans to conduct
the war. Much of the matter COM
planned Of cannot now be construed
as tending to cause such results. Of
ficials say, although it is plainly de-
signed to cause discomfort among the
Negro race. The whole matter hinges
on just how far congress will go in
formulating laws to regulate the
preaching of the doctrine of social rev.
olution, government officials say.
1t is the belief of officials that I. w.
w. funds are being used in the Negro
propaganda and close attention is be-
ing given this matter, but no one in
authority seems to be in a position to
say just what action can be taken at
this time.

RACE ANIMOSITIES
RETARD PROGRESS
and GET NOWHERE
tRy Asgociated Negro Preggl

(By Associated Negro Press).
Raleigh, N. c., Nov. lin view of
the action of certain communities to
try to solve the race problem and
bring about adjustment through meth
ods of strife, animosity and hatred.
the observation of the Raleigh News
Observer is very pertinent and worthy
OF consideration. In a leading edito-
rial this paper which is one of the
most influential in the south, says:
The disclosures from various sec
tions of the country would indicate
that outside influences are trying to
stir up strife between the races and
also of such other sections as have 4
considerable Negro population. 1t is
not the Negroes who are doing this,
but that disturbing element that ap-
pears to be in evidence in almost ev-
cry field of social relation that is
open to the work of the proselyter
''It is to the credit of the vast ma
jority of the Negroes of the whole
south as well as of the north, that
they are realizing the situation, and
trying to hold their lines against any
such doctrines as are preached by the
disturbers. But enough seem to be
influenced to permit disturbances here
and there, and each clash awakens a
bitterness that at this time is unfor-
tunate.
Intelligent Negroes and intelligent
whites understood that race animosi-
ties positively get nowhere. Neither
race profits by strife. The only way
difficulties can be disposed of is by
conference with each other, and by
peaceful and patient methods on the
part of each. The thoughtful man
sees that the relation of the races has
been growing steadily more tolerant
of the differences that separate the
two, and that the white man, with his
greater wealth and ability to help has
been helping the Negro to make
steady advances in all directions. The
thoughtful Negro sees this as readily
as the thoughtful white man does.
Both see that impatience, allowed to
break out in strife, defeats all that is
hoped for by either white or black
The movement started in Raleigh last
week among the whites and the Ne
groes is one that gives promise Of
the greatest good to both races, and
1t can be studied and supported to
the everlasting benefit of all. White
man and Negro together must work
out the situation, and together, and
with both working with regard for the
others welfare. But to try and work
it out in war will be in a manner
wholly tarren of any desired results,
and so disastrous that it is not to be
thought of for a minute.
