Clash Starts With The
Drowning of Black
At Beach
INVADED PLACE
USED BY WHITES
Policeman Roughly Han
died By Black, Fires
Into Crowd

CHICAGO, July 28-( (By Associa-
ted Press) The situation in the
"black belt" of Chicago, where race
roting late yesterday resulted in the
death of two negroes and the injury
of perhaps fifty or more whites and
blacks, including four patrolmen, was
under control of the police early to-
day.
Accounts of the beginning of the
trouble are uncertain but the version
accepted by the police today is that
the fighting started at the Twenty
ninth street bathing beach where the
whites and negroes are accustomed to
swim in Lake Michigan although the
two races are separated by an mag
mary line.
This version of the affair says that
negro boy on raft crossed the
boundary line and that white boys
threw stones knocking the negro into
the water. He was drowned. A gen
eral fight developed between the
races and riot calls brough: hundreds
of police into the negro district, tins
center of which is around thirty
first and State sereets, more than a
mile from the beach.
Wanted Boy Arrested.
Negroes asked the police to arrest
white boy and when they refused
the negroes began to beat the white
lad. Negro bathers from another
beach at Twenty-fith street attracted
by the fighting, came in to force to
the rescue and soon stones and clubs
were hurled in all directions, many
people both white and black being
injured by the missiles.
After the fighting near the beach
had been quelled trouble broke out
further west, near the center of the
negro district. John O'Brien, po~
liceman, was attacked by a mob at
Twenty-ninth and State streets after
he had tried to rescue fellow police
man from a crowd of negroes. Sew
eral shots were fired in his direction
and he was struck in the arm. He
drew his revolver and fired into the
crowd, three negro men being hit,
one of whom died later in hospital
Many Shots During Night.
The policemen who were injured,
with the exception of O'Brien, who
was hit in the arm by bullet, suf-
fered only bruises from stones and
clubs.
The two negro men who were shot
at Twenty-ninth street, where one
was killed, are said to be seriously
though not fatally wounded.
Many stray shots were heard dur
ing the night and the police answered
two riot calls early today but their
services were not required in either
instance.
1t is estimated that there are close
to 15O, 900 negroes in Chicago, nearly
$4,000 of whom were drawn here du-
ring the last three or four years by
the attractive wages in shops and
factories engaged in manufacturing
war materials. Virtually all Of the
negroes live on the south side OF the
city and many have acquired prop
erty in desirable neighborhoods oc-
cupied by the whites. This has led
to many minor clashes between the
races and in a number of instances
in recent months bombs have been
exploded in buildings occupied by
negroes.

City Leaders Called To
Discuss Meeting Sit
uation Here
PROBLEM MUST
BE SOLVED NOW
Money Available For In
dividual Home Build
ing, Says Lanier

An important meeting Of the COM
missioners of the chamber of com
merce, and all business men Ct the
city interested, was today called for
4:3O o'clock Tuesday afternoon to
consider the following questions:
1.-The housing problem in AM
ericus.
2-The attitude of the business
men toward two manufacturing en-
terprises which wish to locate in Am
ericu3, but cannot do so until the
housing problem has been disposed
of satisfactorily.
Il was stated today by Secretary
Perkins, of the chamber of commefce
that the two manufacturing enter
prises were a box and crate factory
and a potato flour mill. The former
will employ between so and rs per-
sons. The latter will employ num-
Der of workmen, estimate not given.
Both have been in correspondence
with Secretary Perkins and now must
have information as to housing nee
essary labor, which makes their To-
cation here dependent entirely, as a
first consideration, upon that import
ant problem. 1t was said by Mr.. Per-
kins that the potato flour mill is to
be one of chain of such mills to
be located through the south by
large eastern concern. The owners
were referred to Americus by Con-
gressman Crisp, who came in touch
with the needs of the concern
through a hearing before congress
sional committee in Washington.
That solution for the acute
housing problem here will be found,
was the opinion somewhat confident
ly in business circles today. Business
men are coming to the view that
prices of material and labor are not
coming down, and that no good can
be accomplished by waiting any long
er. Men who have money are now
ready to invest, it appeared, under
certain conditions.
Frank Lanier, one of Southeast
Georgia's foremost business men,
said
81 do not look for the price of
labor or material to drop; in fact, it
seems to be going the other way /
can see no good in waiting for a
readJust ment, for it isn't coming,
in my opinion. We have reached 2
new era, and are just beginning to
realize it, No foreign labor IS com
ing into this country. immigration |
has stopped and emigration set in.
The price of labor is not going down,
for there is demand for every bit Of |
available labor, and will continue e
be.
Gas for home building, / will say |
this: Any responsible man, who has
a job and an income, and who has a
lot or a little money to put into a
home, can get the money to build |
him a home right now. I will guar
antee that he will have no trouble
in getting it, at the ordinary rate of /
interest, with the privilege Of repay
ing it on monthly payments as he
earns. A man who owns his own
home is a better citizen and an asset /
to the community in which he lives,
and | believe it is a good investment /
to help that kind of people"
