manner in which they scream and

spirit of racial solidarity as is being
manifested by our group there. On
every side you could hear; "Un-
hamper us and let us build our
homes and places of business and we
will come back, we are willing to
do any legitimate thing for a better
and bigger Tulsa, but that which is
mine, let me say what shall be done
with it,"
ION the 23rd a test case was made
Of the validity of the city ordinance
which brought the burned area with
in the fire limit. No sooner was the
injunction granted by the court
which permitted the rebuilding OF
homes of whatever nature, than the
City Commissioners re-passed the
same ordinace the following day.
AS was the case with the first or
dinance the last is to be fought out
in the courts.
We would not have it inferred that
our people have assumed an antoga-
nistic air, for they have been patient
ly waiting on the action of the re-
construction committee which was
appointed by the Mayor.
1.-THE Real Estate Exchange, which
was the first organization as we I'M
derstood it, to ask that the fire limit
be extended, together with the Cham
Der of Commerce, and the Inter-
fire limit be withdrawn or modified.
but the city officials were obdurate.
The chairman of the Inter-Racial
Commission, Judge Fakes (white)
pleaded for one hour before the City
Commissioners and Reconstruction
Committee asking that the limit be
modified and people permitted to
build such houses as they were able
to do, but up to the time we left
nothing had been done
Greenwood, the famous business
district is again assuming its former
appearance only with better build
ings; bricks are being erected where
frame houses were before; already
five brick structures have been about
completed and several others are in
course of erection. After all, all
that the Negro wants is equal priv
ileges, equal opportunities, fair play
and justice and he will prove that
he can and will do what any other
people can do.
There were fully 1916 houses
burned and nearly 400 tents scatter
ed here and there. To have gone
through with what the people of
Tulsa passed through, and for any
individual of individuals of our group
to say that what happened to Tulsa
did not concern us as race, does
seem to me that the right spirit Of
race consciousness does not abide
in the heart of such individual or
individuals. We might say however,
that we are very hopeful of the Tulsa
situation and are optimistic enough
to believe that there will come out
of the chaotic condition a brighter
day.
1--WE shall now turn our attention
to our own field and are hopeful
that this year will see the "Y' work
in the state greater than at any time
yet. With the opening of the High
Schools and Colleges we shall be
kept very busy from now on. Calls
have come from Palestine, Commerce,
Austin and Lockhart for some def
mite form of "Y" work. The "Y''
with its program of manhood engi-
neering stands ready to render what
ever service possible to every COM
munity."

STATE SECRETARY GORDON RE-
TURNS FROM TULSA, OKLA.

After an absence of two months
and half, Mr.. e. l.. Gordon, who
in response to urgent kilograms went
to Tulsa the carly part of June to
act as Executive Secretary to the
Hunton Branch Y. NJ. C.. A., has re-
turned to his post of duty in Texas.
while in conversation with Mr.. Cor
don, he stated that while quite a
deal had been said and written con-
corning the Tulsa situation, and after
his stay there he felt his inability
to describe what he saw and heard;
in fact he stated that he doubted
whether those who were really in
it would ever be able to depict It,
He said: 81 am placing it at con-
sentative estimate when l say that
the devastated area comprise fully
one square mile. 1t is really heart
rending when you see the savings of
a. life time so to speak, laid to waste.
1t has been said and truthfully so,
that no people can sing as our peo-
pie even in the darkest hour. yet,
because we do sing under trying
ordeals it does not mean that the
life's blood and hearts strings are
not being pulled upon it is one Of
the means of giving vent to our
feelings. Amid the unfortunate sit
uation, our people have manifested a
great spirit of patience and fore
bearance. The situation up to our
departure was rather acute, that is
to say, the housing problem offered
the greatest difficulty. With the ap-
proach of winter and people still
living in tents, one can imagine the
situation While it is true that per-
mission was granted, but no permits
issued a short time ago for the
erection of temporary houses suffici-
ent to house individual families, this
was eventually revoked, until they
were stopped by arrests and fines
and the people made good use of the
opportunity and in the entire burned
area between seventy-tiye and eighty

REPORTED DISPLACEMENT OF
Conductors FOR PORTERS Is
PULLMAN PLAN.

Birmingham. Ala, Sept 15.--Bir-
mingham railroad men displayed con-
siderable interest in reports received
from Memphis and Nashville to the
effect that the Pullman Company has
plans under way whereby Pullman
conductors are to be replaced by Ne
gro porters, to collect fares and per-
form other duties on many runs.
1t was stated in these reports that
this experiment has been inaugurated
on number of lines in the North
quiet way in the South.
Memphis reports indicate that at
tention was called to the practice by
the strenuous protest of persons liv-
ing along the Tennessee Central Rail-
road, who, It Is understood. have
warned the state railroad and utili-
ties commission that they will not
tolerate 1t.
f. J. Carten, representative of the
Pullman Company in Birmingham Is
at present on his vacation, but W A,
Reed who is acting in Mr.. Cartons
place, stated that he had not re-
ceived any edvices from the Pullman
Company on the point, although he
had heard of the reports emanating
from Memphis. Other railroad off
Gals declared that they did not be-
lieve any such rule would be made
effective in this territory.
1t was pointed out, however that
II has been the custom from time to
time in the past on ebranch lines,
tached to trains, to let the porter
attend to the collection OF fares
and other duties, but under the di-
rection of the conductor of such train.
In the reports from Nashville, it is
stated that six Pullman conductors
may be dropped Sept. 1, and it is stat
ed that four of these run between
Nashville and Memphis. A short time
ago conductors were taken off two
runs out of Memphis, one to Little
Rock and one to Texarkana, II is
claimed. 1t is further pointed out
that Pullman conductors are said to
make salaries of from $40 to $50
a month, while Negro porter are paid
from $50 to $40 a month, but make
considerable more from "tips' and 1t
is, therefore, declared that for every
run that a porter can be substituted
for conductor, the company would
save about 800 per month
Interesting developments on sever
al lines are epected in the next few
days, especially trains between Nash
Vile and Atlanta and between Mash
Vile and Knoxville. 1t is declared.
