The effort is concerted movement
TO carry out the Enlarged Program

There are approximately fifteen mil

Of American ideals and traditions TO

with their fingers on the pulse Of cur
rent events are firmly convinced that
a sound foundation In Americanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born IL the proper literature Is placed
within their reach in language they
can understand.
No Drive 20 Be Held.
In order TO carry out the Enlarged
Program two million dollars will be
required. This money will not be

Urges Adoption oil County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0theT
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association,
in announcing It's Books for Every
body" movement, which is 10 be nation
wide in its scope. advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as solution Of the problem of supply
ing good literature 20 the rural dis
tricts Its intention is TO persist In
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied In
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one OF the 1884 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments Of good books are
being made from the central point In
the county TO the designated outposts.
California stands out as the highpoint
In the successful application of the
idea. OF the 50 counties In the state
~ have adopted and are supporting the
system at trifling cost. This 1t urges
as a part Of Its enlarged program which
aims to promote better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs OF the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside OF
the big cities will be called TO the at
tention OF those In position 10 serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting Of a library
building and the stocking Of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist
From this central station books viii
be loaned TO designated outpost sta
tons. The books will be delivered by
trucks. parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted In any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post Of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out Also, in communities Of any size
in the county, branch Libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian mem
bers and its 40 years Of practical func
tioning. is In a position to know the
needs OF the country and In the fight
for wider knowledge is force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure OF S2.oO0O00. There viii
be no drive or Intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
riaus. library trustees and friends OF

deeply interested in COL Hartley's con-

ested in the success Of Caytons' Weekly,
and they want to see the two good things
work in harmony" Had Mr. Davis been

hereof was equally kindly disposed to Col.

with dsfavor upon any discrimination on
account Of color or race. The next conven-
ton held in Montreal, Canada, reendorsed
these enactments and went even further and
ordered the appointment Of Negro organ
iZers to recruit cOlOred workers into the
Locals. The resolution stated ''ResOlved,
that Negro organizers be appointed where
necessary to organize Negro workers under
the banner Of the American Federation Of
Labor" These commendable steps are
destined to bring fruitful results.
Received with suspicion and doubt, and
confronted with untold disadvantages the
Negro has taken his place in the field of
industry as man seeking neither favor or
exceptional consideration but desiring and
determined to have a square and honest
deal.
Has he made good? Is he lazy, worth.

very often been pictured to be? Does he
work two days in seven, and then stop and
spend what he has earned? Can he be de-
pended upon to keep the wheels of indus.
try turning? In short, is he earnest and ef-
ficient? These questions are answered ma.
tionally as employers throughout the cOun-
try are glad to express themselves about
the Negro. True, many have failed utterly,
for nothing more could be expected from
an lndlscrlminate selection, but the average
Negro, or, to be more exact, far beyond IS
per cent has succeeded admirably
Chicago claims that approximately 10000
Negro men and women have been added to
the industrial population. The stock yards,
according to reports from the Chicago Ur-
ban League, employ 5000 The Corn Pro-
duets Refining Co. increased it's force of
colored employees in one year from 80 to
1000. The demand for colored help at
present is greater than the supply.
Columbus, Ohio, with the pre-war popu-
lation Of less than $1,000 has increased to
nearly $4,000 and the doors Of Carnegie
Steel Company, Ohio Malleable Company
and the Ralston Steel Car Company have
thrown their doors open to the Negro.
In Pittsburg and vicinity more than
$4,000 Negroes have been placed. A Ne
gro Industrial Welfare Workers. Confer
ence assembled there February 25 and 26,
1920, and according to authoritative state
bents the Negro, after brief period of adj
justment, proves more satisfactory than
most types Of foreign workers.
In Detroit one automobile firm employs
10000 Negroes. Between July 2 and De-
cember %, 1917, employers made calls
for 5,542 male and 317 female workers,
according to statements from the Detroit
Urban League, cooperating with the Employ
ers' Association of Detroit. That the Negro
is filing the gap offered is attested by
statement from the Urban League and EN-

AS an untred newcomer and an altogether
inexperienced person and one purpOrted to
be inferior, quite naturally the burden OF
proof rested with him. Imagine a race
jumping from agriculture to manufactures
in the course of few hours. True, the
distance over which he travelled, covers
but few hours, but in climatic conditions,
environment, habits of thought and work,
the race jumped centuries. Taken from
the quiet easy-going influence Of the farm,
he was placed in the rapid moving, noisy,
and often hazardous industries of the North.
We are not surprised to know that many
who wish him well were pessimistic about
his future. Even Negro leaders who de.
sired and encouraged the change were not
unmindful Of the danger. The Negro there
fore, had to make his way and establish
himself in the eyes of public opinion and
also employers who were dubious about his
ability. Such task was by no means easy.
But this was not all. Organized labor
very often refused him admission, while in
dividual workers threw distractions in his
way. This state Of affairs added to his
already difficult task Labor Unions rather
curlously, have been slow to realize that
the Negro must either be loyal cOwOrker
or a competitor. AS coworker he will
sympathize and espouse the ideals of the
union, but as a competitor he aids capital
lists to defeat their aims. The awakening
consciousness Of unions, however, is chang
ing their attitude. This fact is shown by
increased liberality which is demonstrated
at every successive annual conference OF
the American Federation of Labor. A high
water mark was reached at the thirty ninth
annual convention and in response to Pc
tition to give the Negro fair deal and
charter them under the national charter,
the following resolution was passed:
1.-The influence Of the world Of affairs is
such that makes necessary a closer and
more kindred feeling of sympathy and pur-
pose on the part of all who labor, and
"Whereas, this spirit of oneness of pur-
pose can and will only be completely
achieved when the benefits derived by the
efforts Of organized labor are not predicated
on creed, sex or color, but shall be the COM
mon lot and heritage of ALL and
Whereas in the past, because Of lack
OF realization on the part Of white laborers
that to keep the organized coored laborer
out Of the fold Of organization has only
made it easily possible for the INSCRIPTIONS
eployer to exploit the one against the
other to the mutual disadvantage of each,
Therefore, be it Resolved, That this, the
thirty-ninth annual convention 90 on record
as endorsing such petitions from colored or
ganized labor
At the same convention, locals were in
formed that the National Federation looked

WHAT THE NEGRO ACHIEVED IN IN

By Howard D. Gregg

By Howard D. Gregg
Industrial Secretary New York Urban
League
The Negro as factor in industry is estab.
lished. Having entered this field in great
numbers recently he is awakened to a sense
of his opportunities, and slowly, but surely.
is entrenching himself in the field in
manner that neither sentiment nor preJu-
dice can oppose.
During the period Of the war, as a sub
stitute or military necessity, the Negro was
initiated into manufactures that were
hitherto closed to him because of color. AL
most Immediately he was rushed in, to be
weighed in balance that only abnormal
circumstances could produce. How was he
received? Has he made good? What is his
future? are pertinent and important ques-
tons.
Naturally, he was received with suspicion.
