ORGANIZED LABOR PLANS
RACE EDUCATION
Hill Persuades Educational Group to
Study Race Relations in Industry

What is regarded by many author
ities as a new epoch in the relation be-
tween white and Negro workers in
America was begun on Sunday Of last
week when in the Fourth Annual Con
vention in Philadelphia Of the Workers
Educational Bureau, a resolution was
passed endorsing the development OF
courses of interracial and international
adjustment in connection with the
study Of trade union problems by lead
ers Of labor movements. This resolu-
tion was introduced at the request of
t. Arnold Hill, Director Of the De-
partment Of Industrial Relations Of the
National Urban League, who at the
invitation Of some of the members or
the convention, attended the sessions.
The text Of the resolution is as fol-
lows:
Because Of the very evident con
tribution the various races and nation
alities are making to the development
Of the labor movement in all lands
and the widespread misunderstanding
and ignorance with reference to these
contributions, We strongly recommend
that Workers Education include a
study of races and nationalities and
their relationship to the labor move
ment. This Is especially essential in
this country, in view Of the varied
racial composition Of American indus
try and the vital sympathies and con
cern Of the American Labor movement
towards workers Of all races"
This paves the way for the introduc-
tion in the courses Of study in Labor
Colleges Of lectures on relations be-
tween Negro workers and the labor
movement and the contributions which
Negroes as laborers, have made and
are making to the development Of
American life.
Among those whom Mr. Hill inter
viewed prior to the introduction Of the
resolution to the Executive Committee,
which in turn indorsed and presented
If for final approval to the open con-
vention, were the following: John p.
Frey, Of the Molders' Union Of North
America; Miss Mary Van Kleeck, Di-
rector Of Industrial Relations or the
Russell Sage Foundation: Abraham
Lefkowitz, Legislative Representative
Of the Teachers Union; Matthew Vol,
Vice-President Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor; David ]. Saposs, in
structor at Brookwood Workers Col
lege and Spencer Miller, Jr, Secretary
OF the Workers Educational Bureau.

One Of the latest contributions to
the literature, pertaining to the his
tory Of the Afro-American race in
this country; Is the recent work from
the pen Of Alrutheus Ambush Taylor,
A. NJ entitled The Negro in South
Carolina During Its Reconstruction.
The author, has left no stone un-
turned, in an honest effort to bring
forth many undisputable facts and
points bearing upon the subject which
he 50 ably discusses and he cites nu-
merous undisputed authorities in re-
lation to the sane and sober conduct
or department on the part of the bet
ter class Of colored people who active
y participated in the most intelligent
manner in the civic and local as well
as national governmental affairs in
South Carolina, during its reconstruc-
tica period Mr. Taylor who was
born in the District of Columbia and
trained in its public school system;
further equipped himself for this work
by completing the undergraduate
course at the University Of Michigan
and a graduate course at Harvard,
leading to the degree Of Master Of
Arts.
He had some experience in social
service in connection with the Urban
League and the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and he served for
number Of years, as a teacher, at
Tuskegee Institute and the West Vir-
ginia Collegiate Institute. He has
therefore been broad enough to ap-
proach his task with restraint and
care and has presented disinterested
account Of the Negro in the drama OF
reconstruction.
The book is printed on first class
Aberdeen book paper. Its large, clear
type makes it easy to read. 1t con-
sists of 34l pages in beautiful green
cloth binding and gold letters. Ii sells
for $500, which is very reasonable.
From a historical point Of view, ii
should readily find its way into the
homes Of the reading public.

In some way or other, the smaller
headlines for this week got mixed up
with the smaller headlines for last
week and they were far in advance OF
our story pertaining to our recent fast
pleasure trip through some parts Of
the east, so in order to get it straight
ened out again we are forced to retrace
Our steps back to Saturday morning,
March Z, in connection with Hon.
Martin B. Madden. On that Saturday
morning after conversing with him for
some time he wanted to know if 4Fe
had gazed upon the bust of the late
Congressman James r. Mann, who so
honorably served as a member Of Con
gress Tor many years from the Second
Congressional District Of Illinois.
When we responded that we had hur-
riedly observed it while going through
the Hall Of Fame and at that point IN
our conversation he arose from his
seat and requested us to follow him,
and arm in arm and with our heads
uncovered We started to walk through
the Hall Of Fame and many Congress
men and other prominent Personages
turned around and looked as we passed
By them On arriving at the highly
polished white marble pedestal on
which the bust Of the late Congress
man Mann reposes, which stands in a
very prominent place in the Hall Of
Fame and after viewing il very closely
for a few moments and pointing out
the striking similarity Of the bust with
the profile Of Congressman Mann
who was the father of the far-reaching
Mann act, Congressman Madden's
bosom swelled with great pride when
he declared that it was through his
efforts Or labors that the bust OF his
late steadfast friend, Congressman
Mann occupies such conspicuous
place in the Hall OF Fame.
On leaving the Hall Of Fame where
the bust Of Congressman Mann Is To-
Gated, We came in contact with the
largest American flag in the world, i
hangs right in the center Of the dome
Of the Hall Of Fame and it is 80 feet
long and 10 feet wide and It i thing
= beauty to behold. Congressman
Madden continued to stroll around ths
hall and point out the busts Of many
OF the most distinguished men that

/ this great country has produced and
the important part that they had
played in its affairs. Congressman
Madden seemed to express much
pleasure in escorting us around the
hail and making It possible for us
to enjoy its many highly interesting
sights and after he had enjoyned upon
us not to fail to call and see him
Monday, March 9, he returned to his
Office and We wended our way over to
the Senate office Building and to the
United States Senate where we re-
NAMED until we started for the home
Of the late immortal Frederick Doug
lass.
On returning from his late home
we started out to run down and hunt
up Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons and
his Abraham Lincoln Liberty League
and prior to this time we had
lost a great deal Of our valuable time
in a vain effort to come in contact
with Col. Simmons and his League.
Once Or twice we did manage to butt
into him but never could we catch
up his so-called Abraham Lincoln
Liberty League and it utterly failed to
function in any manner, shape or form
during the Inauguration Of President
Calvin Coolidge.
On that same Saturday evening near
six O'Clock we called at the law Offices
OF Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and
Hon. Perry w. Howard, l2l6 Penn,
ave, Washington, d. G., who have
always been a prominent part OF the
head and front Of the Abraham Lin
coin Liberty League and Col. Johnson
who was all set to deliver one Of his
famous spread eagle frey orations be-
fore It, was unable to inform US just
when il would meet and he was dead
sure that It had not met in any dark
room or at any other place in that
city up TO that time. Sc if seems
that Col. Simmons and his League
completely vanished through the
dreams or the things which are no
more.
Before Withdrawing from the law
Offices Of Col Johnson we had the
extreme pleasure Of being presented
u his very beautiful and highly ac-
compiished wife, Mrs. Johnson who is
a very lovely lady to meet

Fire Death Hoax
By International News Service.

FoN DU LAC. Wis, June a.
The sunshine has come back into
Dorothy Anderson's life. She and
Edward Sailstad have secured a
marriage license here and are to be
married soon.
In so doing they wrote a legal
finis to the weird romance that has
been theirs from the time the
wealthy young phonograph manu-
facturer fell in love with Dorothy
and called her his sunshine girl,
on through the goulash hoax OF
their disappearance, their sort-lived
happiness in a California love nest
and their. separation as each entered
prison to pay the penalty the law
demanded.
Sailstad was paroled several
months ago and obtained employ
ment as a mechanic in Oshkosh,
while Dorothy continued to serve
her term in the woman's prison.
She. too, has now been recommend
ed for a parole and will be released
in a week.
Parole officials will go through
the formality of finding a job for
Dorothy, although the application
OF Sailstad and Miss Anderson for a
tention of making good the promises
they gave each other at the parting
bt their ways-"Well love each
other forever"
1t is five years since Miss An
-derson and Sailstad placed. the body
of a friend in the Sailstad summer
cottage, then burned it down to
cover their elopement.
Mrs SailStad was awarded large
sums in life insurance, her attor-
neys proving that the body was
that of Sailstad. In the meantime
Sailstad and Miss Anderson, who
had worked in his plant as a
stenographer, had established their
home in California. Mrs. Sailstad
married again. but when her hHs'
band came to life divorced her
second husband. She then divorced
Sailstad. She and her second hus-
band will remarry.

TRENTON, N. j., June S.-The
only protection against invading

force, organized. trained and

tactics and the United States has
no air force whatever according to
Colonel William Mitchell, In a

aviation possibilities of New jersey.
The deposed army air chiefs letter
expressed regrets at his inability to
attend today's committee hearing.
I'm the time Of the next conflict,
the deciding factor will be air
power" said Colonel Mitchell IN his
letter, and the nation having SUI
premacy Of the air will surely be
victorious. All cities on the East
ern coast will be subject to air
invasion unless we have adequate
air protection. This the United
States does not have.
I'VE have no air force either
actually under the colors or pro-
vided for by law. The few little
detachments OF the air service we
have are attached as auxiliaries to
the army and navy"
To have a dominant air force"
which he said was the only way to
prevent the army and navy from
being organized for defeat" Mitch
ell said the Government must es-
tablish an aviation branch co-equal
with the army and navy.
