Louisiana Organizes for egro
Retterment.

A notable conference of white peo-
pie was recently held at Alexandria
'to promote prosperity and content
ment throughout the state by improv-
ing the condition of the negro popu-
lation." The gathering included
farmers, manufacturers, bankers,
LAWYERS, ministers, doctors and ed
ucators. A state wide organization
was perfected and twelve commit
tees appointed, on health and SANTA
ton, housing, 4education, recreation,
law and order, economic problems,
race pride and integrity, publicity,
church cooperation, inter-racial CO.
operation, segregation, farm and
home life. Community committees
of both races are to be formed for
mutual understanding and the bet
ter adjustment Of local conditions.
The Times-Picayune gives un-
qualified support to the movement,
as do other leading papers. State
officials will cooperate to the fullest
extent. The educational program
will find hearty support in the state
board of education, whose progressive
work has doubtless aided in making
effective the public sentiment ex-
pressed in the conference.
The Public Welfare League of
Mississippi, formed during war days
for similar purposes, has shown the
value of such wide organization
for constructive work. Tennessee
furnishes another notable example;
and It is hoped other states will soon
fall into line.

Put Louisiana on the Poultry Map.

Louisiana is good agricultural
state and should be one of the best
poultry states in the union, according
to H. L. Williams, poultry specialist,
extension division, Louisiana State
University.
SIN order to place poultry produc-
ton on high standard, there are a
number of reforms needed says
Mr.. Williams. Among them are:
''The elimination of the scrub and
mongrel stock from farms and back
yards.
1.-The Standardization of Louisia-
mas poultry products.
''The encouraging of better and
more poultry displays at parish, dis
trict and state fairs.
Better transportation for both
commercial and Matching eggs.
Careful and rapid transportation
Of day-old chicks.

PLAN TO EXPEL AN
HONEST OFFICIAL
(By Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The
house rules committee is deadlocked
over the plan to eXpel Louis F.
Post from the Labor Department be-
cause the latter will not deport
aliens as fast as Attorney General
Palmer shakes a finger at them.
AS matters stand, no motion
either to impeach or to advise the
President to remove Post can be put
through without preliminary pub
lie hearings, at which Post would
have a chance to defend himself
and prove that Palmer has seized
and tortured thousands of aliens
without possessing any evidence Of
their guilt.
That proof is what the witch
burners are determined to bar out
at all costs. some leaders in con
gress are proposing that money to
pay Posts salary be stricken from
the appropriation bill, but they
fear President Wilson would veto
such a malicious bill.

PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW
WHO MAKES COAL HIGH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May l.
Several weeks ago a story was sent
out by the United Mine Workers
If America. stating that Jack Bell
and other miners at Tiltonville,
Ohio, were placing in each car Of
,oal mined by them a note which
read as follows:
We miners got 60 cents a
ton for this coal How much
did you pay for t!'
Bell has written the United Mine
Workers Journal that a contractor
at Osceola. Ark, informed him that
his coal sold at Osceola for 81 a
ION, and letter from another man
at Mckinney, Texas, stated that the
coal from Tiltonville was selling
here for $3.50 a ton, and that the
ION consisted of 500 pounds.
The United Mine Workers say
his incident proves what they have
been saying for a long time, that
here is too much difference be
.ween what the miner gets for
mining the coal and what the con
sumner is required to pay for it
II proves further, they say, that the
miners are not to blame for thu

CONVENTION CALL
OF THE A. F. OF l.
Anril 10. 1920.

April 10, 1920.
TO All Affiliated Unions, Greet
ing: You are hereby notified that
the 4Oth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor will
be held at st. Denis Theater, Mon
treal. Canada, beginning 10 o'clock
Monday morning, June I, 1920, and
will continue in session from day
to day until the business of the
convention has been completed.
The last convention of the
American Federation of Labor
placed in the hands of the executive
council the selection of the city in
which the 10th convention should
be held 1t was manifest how
ever that the dominating thought
of the delegates was that Montreal,
Canada. should be chosen. In com
ipliance herewith, Montreal, Can
ada, was chosen. 1t was also found
THAT due to conditions both in Mon
treal and in the United States,
which will be explained to the con-
vention in session, it was necessary
to change the date of holding the
convention to June {, 1920.
