From Ruler of 2O,OOO,OOO Subjects
To Singer of Little Auroran
Restaurants Experienced of African
Former Zulu Prince at Is, Tho
Well Educated, Only A
Waiter Now.
(By Associated Negro Press)

Chicago. March 10.-From being
the ruler of 2OO,OOO,OOO sure
enough people" to actiI@ rs waiter
in a workingman's restaurant is a
long fight, but it has been made by
a man Of rs, and he keeps on smil-
ing.
Prince Bullawa Cetewayo, one time
potentate in Zululand, has discarded
the swallow-tail coat with the cotton
rose in the lapel, which he wore
when he made his appearance on the
lecture platform here recently, for
the white apron of a waiter in an
Aurora lunch room.
Instead of declaiming to audiences
that Zulu "savages" are much more
moral than Americans, he is shouting
"a thousand" and FRY two over" in
the Owl lunch room.
The princes lectures, you see, were
not financially successful, and he
went broke The other day he ap-
peared at the Illinois Free Employ
ment bureau and asked for a job.
Your occupation" asked the
clerk.
"A royal prince, once ruler of two
million souls" said the applicant.
Yeah, quit kidding" commented
the clerk.
But l assure you, sir, am not
what you call kidding" said the ap-
plicant. To prove which he produced
letters from the British Embassy at
Washington showing he was an AZ
rican prince, a graduate of Eton, a
doctor of medicine, graduate of a
school of philosophy. and a linguist
who spoke fourteen languages.
He also told of having been an
untutored savage until he was 2S,
whe he was taken to England by Cecil
Rhodes and educated. He gave his
age as rs.
The clerk decided that he simply
had to find job for an applicant so
notable. He looked through the files.
"Aha," he exclaimed, Just the
thing. Here's a man at Aurora who
runs a workingman's restaurant who
wants a hash singer. Guess you'll
do as we'll as anybody"
Well" said the prince, lone must
eat"

Trouble Arises Out of Jealousy
of White Labor for Negro
Labor

(By The Associated Negro Press)
st. Louis, Mo-. March 1O.-Negroes
are being driven from Pemiscott and
Kunklin counties in the southeastern
part of this state. The two counties
have a population of about 10000
and are close to the Arkansas state
line. Threatening notes have been
left to them. there is some question as
dynamite and cabins have been fired
on in an effort at intimidation. U. S.
District Attorney Carroll believes it is
a case for the state authorities, but If
left them. here is some question as
to what TO expect in view of some past
performances
1t was in South East Missouri that
several years ago the U. s. government
cleaned up some peonage cases. AL
most as severe conditions obtain now
in some of that section where Ne
groes have little if any rights which
the white man is bound to respect.
SIO" CARS DSdT IHtlI SlSuS III
full view and reports have come to
hand of Negroes being refused the
right to use the same waiting rooms
or get service when buying tickets as
whites. One town permits no Ne
groes to live within he city limits. ac-
cording to reports, unless attached to
quarters belonging to the white
folks" homes.
South East Missouri has had a
great influx of Negroes. Many have
worked there on levy gangs, etc. Re-
Gently the farmers of that section had
a conference and decided to plant cot
ton next year. The present trouble
is probably a flare up occasioned by
the envious poor whites who are al
ways jealous of Negro labor in South
ern communities, and 1t is highly
probabl that it will not go far before
the better element of whites arrest
it. However, that releases in no way
the responsibility of the state to act
firmly in the premises. There is the
rub.

Minneapolis is soon to have a home
for its colored working girls accord
ing to an announcement made by the
Women's Christian Association, a
white social organization which is be-
hind the movement now on foot to
raise $4,000 for said purpose. Seven
thousand dollars have already been
raised among the white churches and
social organization of the city for the
building of the girls home. Although
several sites are now being considered
for the home it is expected that the
home will finally be located in the
fifth ward.

Mrs. J. D. Bryan, colored secretary
Of the Women Cooperative Alliance,
S36 Andrus Building who made
survey of the conditions among the
colored girls of the city two years

her own organization and several
others. 1t was well received and in

HIGH DAM POWER
Federal Commission Awards
High Dam Power to Ford Fol
lowing Action of Legislature.
$1O,OOO,OOO PLANT WILL
BE LARGEST IN WEST
Business League Offers Cooper
alton Housing Committees
To Work on Program.

Under the provision of the water
power act, the preliminary permit to
use the hydraulic power at the St.
Paul high dam was granted to the
Ford Motor Company last Friday by
the Federal Water Power Commits
sion. The license to the power will
follow automatically.
Will Build $1O,OOO,OOO Plant
The decision of the Water Power
commission in awarding Ford the use
of the power at the high dam means
that Ford will build $1O,0OO,OOO
plant as was originally announced. If
the power rights had not been award
ed to him, he would have built a
plant in st. Paul, but it would have
been smaller, probably not much
more than an assembling plant, and
he would have had to get his power
from other sources. However, the St.
Paul plant will be the largest Ford
plant west of Detroit in his program
of decentralization.
The action of the Federal Water
Power commission followed the over
whelming vote of 80 to Al by the
Minnesota legislature endorsing the
Ford industrial development bill, tine
attitude of the Minneapolis Civic and
Commerce Association, the Northern
States Power Co., and the untiring
efforts of the Greater st. Paul COM
mittee for the Ford plant.
League Endorses Plan.
Ford's entrance into the industrial
field of the northwest has the hearty
endorsement of the st. Paul Negro
Business League. The fact that his
coming will give employment to the
Negro worker while the plan is under
construction and after it's completion,
has already put the Housing commIc
tee of the league under Fred d. Nc
Cracken to work. AS the housing
problem will be the most difficult
problem to be dealt with Mr.. Nc
Cracken reports that his committee is
now at work making preparations TO
meet situations as they arise. The
league has offered further co-opera-
ton to the Greater st. Paul Commit
tee and the city of st. Paul.
Construction work at the dam site
will begin within sixty days, Ford s
engineers have announced.

UNION HALL ASSN

Mortgage on Union Hall To Be
Burned at Ceremony Fol-

Building Stands Out as MOnu-
ment to Race-Hundreds Ex-
pected at Mortgage Burning.

Tuesday night at Union Hall, cor.
Kent and Aurora AYE. a celebration
de luxe will take place when the
Union Hall Association will burn the
mortgage on the building, and broad
cast the message that Union Hall has
been bought and paid for by Negroes
This successful feat was achieved by
Mars Lodge of Odd Fellows and Per-
feet Ashlar Lodge of Masons under
the incorporate name of the Union
Hall Association.
Building Started i'm 1914.
Following the Incorporation in
June, 1914, the first. dirt was turned
for the building October 13, 1914,
and on December IS, 1914, NJ. NJ.
Bro. Huron ]. Shelton, Grand Master
of Masons for Minnesota laid the cor
ner stone in ample form. The formal
opening of the hall building was held
November s. 1915 with an overflow
of friends present.
The first officers elected by the as
sociation were: S. Edward Hall, pres
ident; James E. Murphy, vice presi-
dent; Charles H. Miller, secretary;
Richard NJ. Johnson. treasurer; Will
liam T. Francis being selected as at
torney for the association. Since 1917
George l.. Hoage has been president.
Building Valued at $4,000.
The tax value of the Union Hall
property in 1922 was valued at $780,
600. After a keen piece of business
manipulation on February 23, 1928,
the final payment on the building was
made. The mortgage burning cere
mony to be held Tuesday night will
mark the Sth anniversary of the
Union Hall association which was or
ganized on March IS, 1914, at the

Without a doubt, the successful
manipulation of the Union Hall prop
osition by a combination of Odd Fell
lows and Masons is an outstanding
feature in the colored fraternal world
throughout the country. Other at
tempts have been made by fraternal
bodies in recent years to successfully
bring to an end similar projects but
that of the Union Hall association
stands out singular achievement dur
ing the past eight years.
That one of the largest crowds that
ever jammed Union Hall is expected
to be on hand Tuesday night. A
splendid program of interesting
speaking and musical numbers fol-
lowed by a reception has been ar
ranged for the event. The program
