With due allowance for fair profits, the bill aims

Mothers Pension Fund

Washington. - Remarkable prog
ress has been made in mothers PEN
sion legislation, according to a bull
letin issued by the United States
children's bureau The first legisla-
ton of this kind was passed by Mis-
souri, and Illinois. At the present
time 80 states, Alaska and Hawaii
have some public provision for
mothers left with young children to
support and in at least five Of the
remaining states this principle is be-
ing considered This rapid spread OF
legislation in so brief time is in
dicative, says the bulletin, of the
wide spread and deep rooted con-
viction that no child should be de-
prived OF home life and a mothers
care because of poverty alone.
Some states provide pensions only
for widowed mothers; others IN.
clude women who. have been dl
vorccd or who may have been de
serted by their husbands; or those
who husbands are in prison, in state
asylums or who are otherwise inca
paeitated. In three states expectan'
mothe..s are included and in num-
Der of instances the mothers of chill
dren born out of wedlock come with

Praise The W ork
Of Urban
League

A large audience heard the ques-
ton of racial adjustment discussed
and the programs and accomplish
nents Of the Chicago Urban League
presented at it's Third Annual Meet
ing at Olivet Baptist Church, Mon
Jay evening. DR.. George Cleveland
Hail. Vice president of the League
in opening the meeting commented
briefly on its place among civic or
CARNATIONS. "The League did not
come to Chicago to displace anything.
It came to coordinate and work with
III agencies for the uplift of our col
ored population" Referring to the
situation Of Negroes in the city, he
said, "A lot of these things called
problems-the housing problem, the
iace problem-are not problems at
ALL They are insults" The remark
able progress Of the League was told
n figures in the report of the Exec
utive Secretary, T. Arnold Hill. The
osdget increased from 1000 in 1917
Is to $4,000 in 1888. Since Nov.
1918, 20,815 separate individuals
have used the Leagues Offices over
5000 different times-12,815 per-
sons have been placed in employment,
4 600 of those receiving employment
were women. Fourteen hundred girls
we're placed in clerical positions at
Sears-Roebuck & Company. OF the
500 provided by the League last year,
Ill but Is were asked to return. The
selective process is used in making
lacements with striking success.
Mr.. Hill emphasized the values of
the department of Records and Re-
search which provides for the pro-
grams of the League as dependable
basis in fact. It's chief function, he
says, is to serve as bureau of in
formation for the interested public
on all matters relating to the well
fare of negroes in Chicago.
The League also has a children's
department. which seeks to handle
juvenile delinquency. This depart
ment engages the full time of two
persons. Some of the important or
CARNATIONS working in 'cooperatin
with the League are: The american
Red Cross, The Union League Club,
Chicago Association of Commerce,
Commute on Nursery Care of Col
ored Children, Chicago City Club,
War Camp Community Service, U. S.
Department. of Labor, United Chart
ties, and a number of others. Super
vision over the Wendell Phillips Set
Element is still held by the League.

Ask Government Inter.

Sergeant Caldwell
Nov. 26. 1918.

Nov 26, 1919.
The National Association for thu
Advancement of Colored People to-
day made public telegram to Secre
tary of War NEWTON d. Baker, ask
ing for Intervention in the case OF
Sergeant Edgar G. Caldwell who
has been sentenced to death for the
alleged murder of Kelsie Morrison
a street car conductor at Admission
Alabama, on December Is, 1918.
The telegram reads:--
Nov. IA, 1919
Hon. Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War,
Washington, d. c.
National Association for Advance
ment of Colored People respectfully
urges that you exercise power at
your command and intervene in the
case of Sergeant Edgar G. Caldwell
now under sentence of death for
killing of street car conductor De-
cember fifteenth at Admission, Ala
bama. In view of fact that Caldwell
at the time wos a soldier in Regular
Army and was turned over to civil
authorities and by them condemned
to detah we feel that because of his
race it was impossible for him to
secure fair trial in that State. Ou
further contention it that Caldwell
should have been tried by regular
Court Martial since he was soldier
Caldwell sentenced to be hanged De-
cember fifth and we therefore urge
that Intervention be made in his be-
half Immediately.

Where Is Schwab Now?

Cincinnati-An S. o. S. has been
sent out for Charles M. Schwab of
the Bethlehem steel corporation by
the Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft
Drink Workers. Journal.
The editor calls attention to this
statement credited to Mr.. Schwab
during the war:
"A wonderful change has taken
place in American ideals. | doubt
whether in the past labor has gotten
its Just share The time has come
when this must be rectified. This
great war has taught us that we must
concede things to labor. Autocracy
in labor and in capital is dead. This
is the day of democracies, the day
of tolerations and adjustment and re-
adjustments.
To these fine sentiments, the labor
editor replies:
"Where is Schwab now? If he was
sincere in his uttering, why doesn't
he come forward now and put his
words into action? If he believes
that autocracy in capital is dead, and
the day of democracy is here, he is,
in our estimation, the Moses that
should come forward and lead Gary
and his associates out of the wilder
ness and into the land of justice and
righteousness"

OF Hope

Hampton, Va, Nov. 27. = AN
educated man is one who does his
work intelligently, thoroughly, eff;
fectively, conscientiously, unselfish-
ly, and with some Understanding of
what it is all for" said DR.. E. Gregg,
principal of Hampton Institute, in a
recent address on Negro Education
which he delivered at the Howard
University Reconstruction and Re-
adjustment Congress. DR.. Gregg
said:
II am not willing to speak of Ne
gro education as of something diff
ferent from other education, except
that all edutaconiumstearrgdETAO
that all education must regard the
likeness and differences of indivi-
duals. If the Negro is different, that
is, if he has special gifts, his educa-
ton should be influenced by that
fact. If his environment is peculiar,
his education should be shaped ac-
cordingly.
every child, of whatever color,
deserves, first, such education as
will open his mind to the sunshine
of truth. Then we should make sure
that he is given training which will
make his self-supporting and useful
and happy and upright = which will
help him do we'll whatever work he
is most fitted to do. At no time
should he be allowed to feel that the
door is shut to his going further and
higher.
"Clemenceau has said: The worlds
only salvation from the social and
economic chaos from which it is now
emerging is work! That is what we
all need to realize, no matter what
our work is. Let us restrain our
lamentations because all is not just
as we could wish, after the greatest
political, social, economic catas-
trophe in history. Let us, while not
overlooking injustice an cruelty, yet
keep our eyes fixed on the ordinary,
more commonplace justice and kind
ness which are all about us. With
faith in men and faith in God, let
