Negroes Preparing
To Demand Justice
Says Noted Educator
(By Associated Negro Press)

(By Associated Negro PreSS)
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July Robert T.
Kerlin, professor in the Virginia Mill
tary Academy has contributed very
Illuminating article to the June issue
of Reddy's Mirror, one of the more
important monthly magazines, pub
lished in the middle west, entitled
''The Negro Fourth Estate"
Among other things Professor Ker-
lin has this to say concerning the
Negro press: Activity of the col
ored press of the country in these
troutlous times, the spirit, the bold
ness, and the influence Of it, may
well excite alarm, as it has done, even
N the seats of the mighty. There
are nearly four hundred Negro news
papers published in this country, and
they are prosperous as never before.
Their circulation during the war per-
iod vastly increased, and new papers
all the more outspoken and ADLER
type-have subsequently sprung into
existence. The colored people are
fully informed of this, their papers
make it matter of rejoicing and
pride. 1t is, indeed, sign of the.
times. We are informed by this press
that new era has come, brought to
birth by the world war; that with
the new era has appeared the new
Negro; man who stands erect and
looks the white man in the face;
man who does not cringe or fawn,
licking the hand that smites." but
demands his rights under the consti-
tution-equal opportunities in the
common affairs of life, equal condi-
tions, equal comforts, equal recogni-
ton for character and worth; in a
word, Justice"
Every paper has correspondents
in all of its territory and in states
beyond that might be supposed to be
its territory. There are also news
agencies. The most important of
these is by far the Associated Negro
Press. Through special correspond
ence in every city of the country it
gathers the racial news and sends
this out regularly to it's large men,
bership. About seventy-five papers
receive these communications direct
ly, but all get it sooner or later. Moth
ing racial escapes the argus-eyed col
ored press"

ACTION OF A. F. of.
WILL mean MUCH TO
COLORED WORKERS
(By Associated Negro Press

Washington, D. c., June 3O-The
report that the American Federation
of Labor in its annual convention in
Montreal wiped out the color line has
been received with much favor among
workers here, who, however, admit
that they desire to await develop
ments. Industrially, if carried out,
this will mean much to Negro work
ers, who it was declared must be
given full and equal membership with
white men. 1t is said that this action
came at the end of a stormy session
which nearly ended in race war"
between delegates from the Southern
states and the Negroes and their sym

Boot Black Comes
Into Prominence
In Denver, Colo.
(By Associated Negro Press)

Denver. Colo, June 90.-A decision
that has just been handed down by the
Supreme Court of this state accords
equal rights to Negroes in shoeshining
establishments. The case grew out
of refusal of one Peter Apostolos, a
Greek proprietor, to shine the shoes
of the Rev. w. l. Darious, a Negro.
Judge w. P. Kinney of FL Paso county
sustained a demurrer of the Greek on
the grounds that the state law did not
cover bootblacking establishments.
The case will now be retired in a
lower court. George G. Ross of the
Denver Star is interested in the case.

Recent legislation by congress in
creased the pay of soldiers 20 per cent
on their initial or base pay and to
certain grades of commissioned
officers an additional committed ra-
ton, is added to their present ration.
Special payrolls were made to COW
er the increase from January 1st, 1920

crease retroactive. Some soldiers

In addition the same legislation that

for re-enlisting has been granted,
which is to be paid them on the June

pay. Not all of the soldiers receive
this bonus, for various reasons, but
considerable of them do.

Washington, D. c., June 3O.-In his
baccalaureate sermon to the gradu-
ates of Howard University, the Rev.

new standards have opened the world
for a reception of a brotherly spirit

new union STATION
WILL BE LOCATED
in EAST PHOENIX

Phoenix soon will have a new union
station. Plans for the new building
have been submitted to the State Cor
poration Commission and work of sur
Veying the grounds upon which the
station VIII be built is now in prog
ress. To residents and property own
ers Of East Phoenix it will be crafty
ing to know that this magnificent
structure will be located in the vicin-
ity of the Arizona Eastern shops,
somewhere between Eleventh and
Fourteenth streets. Nothing that has
Geen done in recent years will add
more to the value of property in the
east end, and we predict gradual
shifting of the business district
towards the new union station.
A $4,000 office building is soon to
be erected on East Washington street
and number of capitalists are nego-
tiating for the purchase of the City
Ice plant, situated in the east end,
where they plan to build a five-story
hotel. What with the coming of the
new union station and the erection of
modern office and business structures
could mean so much to the progress
of Phoenix? Although the census fig
ures show that we have population
of only 29,053, we confidently believe
that with the coming of the new un-
ion station and, eventually, a main
line, these figures will fade into in
significance within the next decade.
Altogether, now, for greater, more
prosperous Phoenix. Let us discard
our prejudices, if we have any, and
work for the common good of all. No
city anywhere between Los Angeles
and Denver has anything like the op-
portunity for advancement that Phoe-
nix now has. No one can retard the
progress of this city unless it be an
individual among us, who, for selfish
motives, would attempt to throttle the
wheels of industry by advising cap
italists to invest their money else
where, Cooperation is necessary to
make Phoenix the Queen City of the
West Therefore, let us work togeth-
er wholeheartedly for a bigger, bet
ter, more progressive city.
