NO CLOSED SHOP
TACTICS ACCEPTED

That the effort of T. Arnold Hill,
Western Field Organizer of the Ma
tional Urban League, have met with
success, is evidenced by the announce
ment of the promoters that meeting
to organize the st. Paul Branch will
be held Monday night, July 2, at Lit
tie Pilgrim Baptist church at s
o'clock.
At this meeting all who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the race are
invited to be present. The Bulletin
has been informed that there will he
no secrets or CLOSED shop" tactics.
On the program will be a report from
Mr.. Hill, who will tell Of his progress
in collecting the pledges from those
of our group who subscribed at the
last meeting; the success he has had
with subscriptions from white
friends; his conference with repre-
sentatives of the st. Paul Association,
and the details incident to the secur-
ing Of a paid secretary and other
matters pertaining to the opening Of
an Office.
Plenty of Work Seen.
In discussing the future OF the
league, Mr.. Hill said to Bulletin
reporter, There will be plenty of
work for the st. Paul Urban league
IL all reports of the exodus from the
South are true. Colored people are
leaving the South by the thousands
each week. They are spreading out.
No longer are they combining them
selves to the large cities. st. Paul
will get its share and it will be the
Urban league that will receive them,
find houses and employment for
them. direct them to churches and
refer them to wholesome places OF
amusement. 1t will be the business
man, the profession man, the church
and the lodge that will profit by their
coming; for they have been trained
to do business with their own race in
the South; they know nothing else"
Need Live Secretary.
With reference to other features Of
the work, Mr.. Hill said: There
await big tasks for a live, wide
awake. intelligent secretary; the only
kind st. Paul ought to have and the
only kind 1t will have. If my recon-
mendation is allowed to prevail. Our
boys and girls must have more and
better work. Employers must be
trained to accept competent colored
workers as well as white workers.
Various kinds of organized labor must
be taught to work with our men and
the public eye must be trained to
seeing colored men work along the
side Of white men,"

Every Enthusiastic Race Person

,, At no time in the history of the

time has there been a bigger, more

one man that the race voter of the

James Weldon Johnson Writes
Letter of Thanks From
General Office.
EXPECTED RESPONSE
FAILS TO COME

We now enter on our fourth and
final week Of our campaign to help
the st. Paul and Minneapolis branch
es of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. We
are greatly surprised at not having
received any official word from either
the Twin Cities branches. In our ef-
fort to help the N. A. A. G. P. we for
got every personal desire and center
ed our efforts toward increasing the
membership in each of the two local
branches. From a standpoint Of dol
lars and cents it was a loss to us in
going one-half of each new subscrip-
ton for a membership in. the N. A.
A. c. p. We did not consider this
loss in our endeavor to help the
greatest organization in America
finance the Dyer Bill to victory in
the next Congress. But we did ex-
pect full cooperation from both the
st. Paul ana Minneapolis branches
since our campaign was solely for
their benefit.
Neither Branch Responds.
To our serious regret, neither of
the local branches have considered
our efforts of sufficient Importance to
offer their assistance or ever display
ed the courtesy of writing their APP
prevail to the project. We are forced
to believe that neither the st. Paul
or Minneapolis branches are interest
ed in increasing their membership.
Possibly 1t was the medium used in
sponsoring the cause or maybe no
one is interested In reading the Bull
letin. Whatever the reason we
cannot consider it of more vital i'm
portance than the national body to
do this. This fund must come from
the local branches. We do not know
on what department of either the two
local branches to fix responsibility,
whether 1t was the Heads Of the
branches or some department. How
ever, we do believe when a project
is launched to assist any body those
whom 1t serves best should at least
support 1t, but neither the st. Paul
or Minneapolis branches, thus far,
have offered their assistance.

EDITOR ARGUE RATES
Attack on Railroads Brings Forth
Champion at Stockmen's
Convention

Miles City, Mont.-What developed
into something akin to a joint debate,
between Atty. Gen. Wellington D..
o. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age, of
Chicago, on the other, featured the
first days session of the Montana
Stockgrowers' association, which
opened its thirty-eighth annual N
vention here on April II.
Mr.. Rankin made an impassioned adj
dress on the subject of freight rates,
illustrated by charts and
blue prints made up from figures,
which, he said, had been obtained from
the railroad reports, showing, he as
serted that Montana paid the highest
freight rates, except Idaho, of any
state through which the Northern Pa
clfic, the Milwaukee,, the Burlington
and Great Northern run their lines,
the Idaho higher rate relates only to
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific.
In answer to this phase of the ad-
dress, Mr.. Dunn, who largely aban-
doned the speech he had prepared,
challenged Mr.. Rankin's statement,
not questioning the figures which the
attorney general quoted, and showed
that three-fourths of the business in
Guided in the figures as to net operat-
ing revenue per mile, was on freight
business originating outside the state
and which Montanans did not pay. 1t
was freight allocated to the lines haul
Ing freight through Montana and do
not affect Montana at all. Dunn also
stated that main lines Of railroads
showed more earnings than branch
lines, and that there were comparative
ly few branch lines of the three main
railroads traversing Montana.
