Another Prospective Holiday.

A petition Is being circulated among
brokers Of the New York Stock Exchange
to close the exchange on the Saturday
preceding Labor Day, August 30. The
petition, to be acted on by the board
OF governors wednesday afternoon, is
likely to be viewed favorably. Although
several holidays have been granted in
answer to similar petitions to close the
exchange on Saturdays to allow commits
sion houses to catch up with their clerical
work. 1t is said that several houses are
yet far behind with their work, and that
another such holiday will put them about
even with the board" The general
sentiment Is that all such back work
should be cleaned up by September /, and
that the holiday preceding Labor Day

Railroad Maturities.

Railroad men expect that they will
have to pay rather heavily for financing
the maturities OF railroads due within
the next month or so. Two in particular
are now the subject of protracted nego-
tiations. One is the $4,000 900 of Sea-
board Air Line notes due September Is,
and the other is an issue of $11,95O, 900
OF International and Great Northern
mortgage bonds due November /. Pre-
liminary discussions on both maturities
have taken place between the railroad
managers and bankers, but the bond, in
vestment and finance market is so dead
at present as to make a high charge for
new financing almost inevitable unless
a radical change in conditions ensues
prior TO the dates on which these securi-
ties fall due.

Copper Outlook.

Students OF the copper trade do not
expect any reduction In the cost OF cop
per and, foresee rather further sharp
increases in the price of the metal.
Walkers Copper Letter has this to
say: "It is difficult for most people TO
realize that construction costs are at
the present high level to stay. The
growing demand for manufacturing and
housing space and the crying need for
more electric power are causing building
operations TO be resumed to some extent.
Naturally We sEall get fairly well
started in this country, where We are
In the habit OF moving quickly. before
the peoples OF other countries can be
expected to accept the new high level
Of costs Thus the deferred demand for
copper built up during the four and a
half years of war Is being added to
steadily. II has laid the basis for flu
ture consumptive requirements that are
likely to exceed anything ever pre-
yiously experienced In the copper in
dustFy."

The big Idea' in Politics From
the Center Of Activity.
(Associated Negro Press)

Chicago ILL.,, March 20.-With the
placing o. the name of Governor
Frank Lowden of Illinois, a son-in-
law of the late George M. Pullman,
40 candidate for President of the
United States, the field in 1920 Re
publican contest has taken on new
breeze, and the political leaders have
begun to get busy in laying their
plans for the Anal count. In many
quarters at Chicago, it is stated that
Mayor William Hale Thompson, if
reelected April 1st, will become a
candidate Off President Mayor
Thompson is an avowed friend of
the Negro, and was accused pub
licly by one of his opponents this
week, States Attorney Hoyne. mot
only demanding the rights Of the Ne
gro, which he deserves, but having
him think that he is better than the
white people," This statement has
caused an ocean of comment in Chi
cago, but not any more so than the
announcement by the friends of Rob-
ert M. Sweitzer, the Democratic cand-
idate, that Julius Rosenwald, the phil
anthropist, who has always been a
Republican, that he will support
Sweitzer for Mayor. Rosenwald is
highly regarded by the Negro popu-
lation, not only of Chicago, but Of
the entire country, and it is stated
that this decision will influence a
large number of Negro votes in be-
half of Sweitzer, the Democrat, who
at any rate, has u tremendous per-
sonal following among Negroes.
That the remaining days of the cam
paign will sizzle with activity is not
denied by any one acquainted with
the Chicago game.
In the mean time nationally
friends of Warren G. Harding Of
Ohio, James e. Watson of Indiana,
and Myron T. Herrick Of Ohio, are
busy trying to send out the ''big
idea" and the national game is warm
ing up much sooner than many had
anticipated.

Subject Of Work for Soldiers
A Vexlng Problem.
(Associated Negro Press) /.

Chicago. ILL.,, March 20.-The sub
ject Of work for returned soldiers
is one that is giving great concern
to the conservative thinking people
in every section of the country.
Some way is trying to be found to
crystalize the fine enthusiastic de-
monstrations of welcome that are
being displayed everywhere, and will
be more so as the white soldiers
begin to return in larger numbers.
Members of the Eighth Illinois,
and the Fifteenth New York, have,
in many instances been taken back
by their former employers, but in a
far larger number of cases, the men
have been almost reduced to begging.
General Leonard Wood, of the Cen
trail Department, has taken a very
active interest in finding places.
Due to the failure of President
Wilson to call a special session of
Congress, so that appropriations
might be made, the Federal Free
Bureaus all over the
country will be compelled to close
doors by the first of April. and thous-
ands of soldiers will be placed at the
mercy of grating employment offices
who are charging fabulous prices
for employment openings, and then
in many instances do not find them.

INDIANS PAY DEBT
TO NEGRO MISSIONARY.

A debt contracted by the Wyan-
dotte Indians of Ohio 100 years ago
has just been paid with interest by
the st. Regis Indians of Northern
New York.
The creditor was a Negro. lie died
in 1921 in the Wyandotte settlement
in Upper Sandusky.
With the debt, the debtors or the
creditor, the st. Regis Indians had
no connection.
Nevertheless, when approximately
100000 people undertook to cele--
brate the one hundreth aAniversity
Of the Negro's first visit to the Wyan-
dottes by raising a fund of $685.
100000 for reconstruction, at the be-
ginning of this year, the st. Regis
tribe doubled the amount asked of
them toward the world fund.
The Negro creditor of the Wyan-
dottes was John Stewart. Stewart
was born of Baptist parents in Pow
hatan county, Virginia, in 1874. At
80, he was leading dissolute life
in Marietta, Ohio, when he was con-
verted at Methodist Episcopal mis-
sion, and heard call to carry Chris
tianity to the Indians. His first
visit to the Wyandottes was the foun-
ding of the missionary work of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The celebration CT the one hun
dreth university of that visit is the
centenary movement of the Methodist
Episcopal church in the United
States.
The st. Regis Indians are parti-
cipating iii that celebration through
the st. Regis Indian Mission in
Hogansburg, N. ", Louis Bruce, HIM
self a st. Regis Indian, graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania ana
for time professional baseball
player, is the pastor of the mission
When the Centenary celebration
began, January l, 1919, the st. Regis
mission was asked to provide $2,500
to the world fund.
The mission had never before been
asked to do anything for self-support.
In 1917 the gifts to the church through
the mission totalled $2S.00.
But when the centenary program
included 1t, and it was asked in honor
Of the Negro who had carried Chris
tianity to men Of its own race
century ago, to pledge its share of
the $105.000.O00 fund, the response
was immediate.
In two days, $500 was pledged
in amounts ranging from 10 cents
TO $500 a week. Indians are speak
ing in behalf of the centenary move
ment. Twenty-seven Indians of the
membership Of 20 have pledged them
selves to give one-tenth of their in
come to the church, in pursuance Of
the Biblical titheing plan.
The financial cancellation of the
debt Of the Indian to the Negro who
was the first Methodist missionary
in America, came when it was fornd

Hampton, Va. March 20.-An un-
usually strong movement has been
placed on foot here to encourage a
large migration of Negroes to Africa,
and especially Liberia, for the pur-
pose of promoting true democracy
in the rich and undeyeloped Ozark
Continent" Rev. DR.. N. H. B. Cassell,
president of the College of Liberia,
stated in an address at Hampton
Institute that God places a duty
upon you Afro-Americans to whom
he has given these wonderful oppor-
tunities, to go into Africa and build
Africa UP and establish there a de-
mocracy in religion, in politics, in
sociology, and prove Liberia to be
the open door to democracy and op-
portunity.."

CARE OF NEGRO wORKMEN.

The exodus of Negroes from the
South has directed more than ordi-
nary attention to the relations exist
ing between Colored laborers and
their employers. 1t has been learned
certain individual employers and cor
porations suffered comparatively lit
tie from this abnormal movement.
Except in cases where the Negroes
were driven out by other influences,
they have generally remained Loyalty
at work, where Employers have been
reasonably kind and ct all consider
ate of their welfare In a brief tour
of investigation in the South, a year
ago, discovered an encoura ging
number of such employers. A few
months ago l happened upon con-
spicuous example in the case Of the
Aluminium Company of America,
whose headquarters are in Pittsburg,
Pa.
At their plants, the community,
is divided into two general sec
tions. one for whites and one for
Colored people. Neither section has
any apparent advantage over the
other in location. Both are pro-
vided with similar sanitary accom-
modations, and light and water are
abundant for all. The houses Of the
Negro section are just as good as
those in the white section, and in
some respects even better. The hos
pital is used in common by both
races. The theatre serves the white
people. A spacious Community
House equipped for moving pictures
is the amusement center for the
Colored portion of the town. Each
section has its own churches ard
school.

Birmingham, Ala, March 20.-Re-
generation, as well as reconstruction
is going on in the south. Never has
the south been put to such a test of
endurance as well as diplomacy as
1t is now passing through.
In the first place, the South Is very
much in need of laborers, especially
on the farms. 1t has not gotten over
the effects of the large migration
north for the past three years, and
with 1t the thousands of Negroes who
were taken by the selective service
into the army. A campaign of pub
Lefty has been started in the North
urging Negroes to return to their
former Southern homes, and be re-
ceived with open arms" so to speak.
A large number of the Northern com
are up in arms, and are pro-
testing against the efforts to induce
the Colored people to return, Just as
the south protested against the
Northerners coming down here and
the men higher wages to
come up in the real land Of the
free"
The white daily papers OF the
South are constantly having extern
sive articles in concerning conditions,
and long editorial comments con-
corning the seriousness OF the situa-
ton. There are many problems en-
tering the situation, and one of which
Is bothersome enough. The feeling

very natural that in a very respect
able, though determined way, the
boys are letting the fact be known
just as the white people are thinking.
The political situation is one OF
the most ticklish, for even the daily
newspapers admit that it is rankest
hypocracy to allow men TO die for a
country fighting for the cause of
democracy, and yet in their native
land are unable to vote. The Demo-
cratic party in all sections OF the
South is badly split, and the Repub-
licans, under the leadership Of Ma
tional chairman Will H. Hayes, are
playing for opportunity to break the
solid South" In 1920, even at the
cost, 1t is estimated by some, of sac
rificing the Negro vote. which has
practically been the only Republican
fringent on the 14th and 18th Amend
ments
Chairman Hayes has recently made
several addresses in the south. one
Of the largest gatherings being in
Greensboro, N. c., where ia his ad-
dress he made reference to the Me-
gro, but stated that the south needs
the Republican party, and that the
Republican party needs the south.
The entire country is much alarm
ed over the spread of the astounding
Social unrest" and the possible effect
1t might have on the Negroes Of the
country If they should become sus-
ceptible to the propaganda Of JUS
tice. Leaders are being called upon
everywhere to counsel conservatism
among the people, and the news
papers are being urged to speak
softly. These things In large
sense are being done, and yet that
determination to have real justice at
this time is not abating.

Chicago. ILL.,. March 2O.-The Ma

ernment is sending eight exhibits to
France to travel around from army
post to army post teaching health
to the army. In the main the lee
turers who will accompany these ex-
bits will be army officers detailed
for that purpose. Without exception,
the civilians chosen have been men
who stand at the top of their pro-
fessions, and DR.. Bentley has been
invited to be one of the lectures
purely upon his meritos as an author
ity on health subjects. AS a
lecturer DR.. Bentley will go to every
army post in the American Expedi-

most unusual. DR.. Bentley has the
offer under consideration, and will
accept, sacrificing for an
extended period his great practice
in Chicago, which is among some
of the wealthiest people in the city.
