Car Cleaners Go On
Strike in Missouri
Negro Car Cleaners, Along With
Whites, Out on sympathy
Strike" in Missouri.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 4-The Car
Cleaners and Trackmen employed by
the Terminal Railroad Association
and a number of roads have gone on
a strike under orders of their nation
al officers violating an agreement to
give the roads a thirty days notice
by giving only ten. A great number
of colored men belong to these un-
ions, many of the cleaners receiving
from $103 to $1O5 per month for un-
skilled labor. 1t is understood the
strike is of a sympathetic nature a.
long with some of the, other railroad
men and several hundred men are
affected.
The roads have been rapidly re-
placing these men and one Negro
labor agent is known to have sent
a number of men on the job. Ex-
pressions secured at random from col
ored people do not show tendency
to take the sides of the men who
struck, the opinion being generally
that they erred in leaving well pay
ing positions out of sympathy for
affiliations whose loyalty to them is
not entirely trustworthy especially
if conditions were reversed and co.,
ored strikers sought the cooperation
of white labor organizations. A few
of the older heads remained at work.
Several cases of violence have been
reported involving attacks of colored
strikers on colored strike breakers.

Hundreds Attend Baptisn1al
Services Held at Red Rock
Rev. Jones Baptises Thirty-five
At The Annual Baptismal
Services July 30.

More than twelve hundred people
witnessed the annual baptismal SER
vices conducted by st James A. M.
E. church at Red Rock on last Sun
day. Rev. H. L. p. Jones, assisted
by Rev. Carlyle Steward of st. James
A. M. E. of Minneapolis, baptised
thirty-five candidates. The services
were fostered by st. James A. NJ e.
church of st. Paul with cooperation
of four other churches; Bethel A. M.
E., st. Paul; st. Paul Baptist, st.
Paul; st. James A. M. E., Minneapo-
lis; and st. Peter A. M. E., Mime
apolis.
Prince Challoughlczilczise of the
Coptic Church of Africa preached the
sermon on the grounds. His sermon
was well delivered and inspirational.
He gave a vivid description of the
first African baptismal services.
Fourteen white pastors from the
neighboring towns of st. Paul Park
and Newport were at the services and
afterwards came forward to speak
with Father Observation-Disclosures.
Hundreds of people who motored
out to Red Rock and others who went
out on train expressed themselves as
being perfectly pleased with the SER
vices. Numbers of families carried
baskets with lunches because more
than seven hours were spent on the
grounds and quite naturally some
would get hungry.
The people of Red Rock opened the
hotel and made it pleasant for every
one who made the trip. They ex-
tended an invitation to Rev. Jones to
make Red Rock the place for the an
nual baptismal services of st. James
A. M. E. church.

Levy and his wife did not get along
any too we'll and that she had left
him a week before following a quar-
rel. She went to live at the Igle-
hart avenue rooming house. Mrs
Levy rejected all attempts at recon-

All of Its Obligations
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

Richmond, Va, Aug. 4-The' Me-
chanics Savings Bank, John Mitchell,
Jr., president which was closed VIII
reopen for business in a few days,
according to information given The
Associated Negro Press.
The white banks Of Richmond, as
a group, agreed through the clearing
house association to put up any a.
mount needed to reopen the bank, up
to the amount of 100000, provided
the necessary security was offered,
President Mitchell and his associates
have assured them that the securities
is available.
Mr.. Mitchell, it is stated, will take
personal charge of the bank when 1t
is re-opened, devoting his full time
to its management.
Not only the white banks and IL
nancial interests of the city have
come to the assistance of the bahN,
but colored banks, business men and
public generally have volunteered
their aid in any way it should be
needed.
The Mechanics Savings Bank, ac-
cording to President Mitchell, has
ample assets to discharge all OF the
banks obligations.
There is no indication or evidence
of anything irregular in the manage
ment of the banks affairs. The fact
that the bank held real estate con-
trary to the rules of the department
resulted in a recent order requiring
an adjustment of this condition to
meet which the banks real estate was
conveyed to the Bonded Realty Co..
whose officers are also officers of the
bank, and mortgage notes taken by
the bank for the same.
There were $4,000 of these notes,
which appeared to the department
not to be secured by real estate as
sets. Before Mr.. Mitchell could reach
a satisfactory understanding with
the department as to the status OF
these notes the order to close was is
sued.
