Lewis.
1t will be recalled that in Novem-

Hall, which was addressed by the late
United States Senator Benjamin R.
Tillman of South Carolina, Senator
Lewis refused to introduce Senator

URBAN LEAGUE PLANS TO
HELP MIGRANTS

The National Urban League has IS
sued statement following the recent
visit to Urban League centers by L.
Hollingsworth Wood, President Of the
National Urban League and Eugene
Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary OF
the League to the effect that the local
Leagues are being called upon for
strenuous action because of the in
creased demand for Negro workers
and the large migration of colored
people to northern centers. In the
Pittsburgh district if housing facilities
were available ten thousand workers
could be used. In varying degrees the
same is true Of Newark, Philadelphia,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,
Toledo and certain New England
points.
The League is organizing in local
communities for receiving, placing and
housing migrants. "A special National
Industrial Bureau will soon be organ
lied and new Urban League centers
are planned for many cities which will
receive an appreciable influx of the
Negro population.
In financial support of the program
of the League interested colored cit
liens are contributing literally, as re-
suits Of recent trip by the Extension
Secretary Of the League, ]. r. z. Lee,
to Durham, N. c., Richmond, Va, and

In preparation for the increased So
cial work that is contemplated for the
cities in which Leagues are located,
plans are on foot for the training of
additional workers. Already fifty APP
plications for the League's annual
felIowships at schools Of social work
have been received and there is still
time for persons interested in entering
the field of social work to send in their
applications to the Leagues headquar-
tiers, 1T East 23rd Street, New York

TEN REPUBLICANS DESERTED
COHEN

Washington, d. C.-The names OF
the ten Republican Senators who pre-
vented the confirmation of Walter
Cohen as collector Of Customs at New
Orleans, has just been made public.
They are:
WILLIAM E. BORAH, Of Idaho.
H. 0. BURSUM, of New Mexico.
CHARLES L. McNARY, Of Ore
gon.
FRANK R. COOLING, of Idaho.
ROBERT NJ. LA TOILETTE, of
Wisconsin.
SELDEN P. SPENCER, of Mis-
souri,.
WESLEY L. JONES, Of Washing
ton.
TASKER L. ODDIE, Of Nevada.
DAVID "A. REED, ofPennsylvania.
IRVINE L. LENROOT, of Wis
consin.
The vote in the United States SEN
ate against Cohen was IS to 81. But
for the treachery Of these ten senators,
the vote would have stood u to 25
and Cohen would have gotten the job.
The colored voters in every state
where these ten Republican senatorial
traitors reside whack them over their
race prejudice heads with their ballots
and for their double dealing and
treachery they should never permit
them to be reelected to the United
States Senate and the colored people
everywhere should continue to assist to
vote the Republicans out Of power as
long as they absolutely refuse to deal
square with the colored people.-Ed-

DISCRIMINATION AT THE NEW
VETERANS HOSPITAL-TUS-
KEGEE; WHITE SUPERIN-
TENDENT IN CHARGE

Colonel R. H. Staneley, native OF
Alabama, has been made the Superin-
tendent-in-charge Of the United States
Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee. It
i now understood that the personnel
d his medical staff will be entirely
white There will be, however, colored
nurses. laborers and orderlies. First
animation Of the exclusion Of Negroes
from the medical staff is given in a
quotation alleged to have come from
Field Letter No. 70 Of the U. ). Vet
erans Bureau in which it was stated
that The Medical personnel will be
vmposed Of white persons, the chief
nurse, chief aid, chief dietitian and
other assistants will be white. The
staff nurses, aids, and dietitians will
probably be colored. The medical Of
fcers selected to take charge OF this
hospital will be from the reserve corps
Of the Public Health Service, OF
southern birth, and one who thor
oughly understands the Negro"
However, the meager recognition
which has been given by the new SUI
perintendent is a subject OF protest
from the American Legionaires Of
Alabama who objected to the placing
Of Negroes as doctors on the GROUND
that they would inevitably come IN
contact with and control over white
girls and other white people connected
with the Institution.
It is minated that President Hard
ing favors a colored personnel since
only colored veterans will be quar-
tered in the hospital Announcement
has been made for Civil Service Ex-
animation for the selection Of Is doc
tors and 100 nurses.

cation.

hope Of the continuance Of the friend
ships so long existing between myself
and the Negro citizens of this city.
I never at any time, anywhere, ever
uttered so narrow point Of view-to
saw that this United States was
white mans country, and the Negro
had no political rights
In the political contest of 1920,

referring to the testimony given in
the Republican primary vote contests
for nomination for Governor in this

that white Republican voters were de-

ileee of voting in the polling districts.
i referred to the relative weight OF
white and colored officials in Office in
the city, and there, of that majority
and minority, I said 'that laid down
the text that this city was white
mans government. Never did ! say
The United States was only a white
mans country. BY the same compar-
ison as / made Of oficials-black and

be said that Liberia is black mans

Your obedient servant,
J. HAMILTON LEWIS.

In the past, much discussion was
created, relative to some statements,
which were supposed to have been
made by the Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis, IN reference to the colored
people at the time he was a candidate
for governor Of this state in 1920
That this is white mans country
or government" and that the colored
man or the colored people cannot be
seriously considered as an important
factor in its civil or political affairs.
Over his own signature, Senator
Lewis plainly sets forth the facts. Just
what he did say at that time, 50 that
the world can read it. II must be
said. to the everlasting credit OF Sen
ator Lewis, that for FIVE or six years,
he employed bright young colored
man, by the name of Burns, il his
extensive suite Of law Offices, which
were then located in the old Coma
mercial National Bank Building.
