T HIS W E E K
BY Ernest Rice Mckinney
For Preston News Service

The majority of us mere males have
claimed for some time that women are
Slaves to fashion" We say that
women follow the styles blindly and
without due regard to any peculiarities
Of anatomy, facial ugliness or near
beauty, or economic status. But this
may be true. However, if one OBJ
serves the herd of men around Septem-
Der Is the conclusion cannot be es-
capped that the male animal is as blind,
slavish and kneebending as any Of
Armour's sheep or the least intelligent
beetle. For at about this time the male
begins to discard his summer straw en-
masse. No matter how hot the weather
nor how bright the sun shines, Mr..
Man bows to the whims of felt god
and encases the peak of his frame in
last years headgear. This keeps him
a safe and sane 100 pei. cent American
fit to associate with fellow Rotarians;
Elks, pool hustlers, Baptists, Brothers
of Friendship, college professors, con-
gressmen and bootleggers.
Things are still normal down in the
dum-dum belt The main issues in the
recent primaries in Texas, Georgia and
South Carolina were no different, in
the main, from the issues of 1875. That
is the campaigns were based on ig-
norance, hate, and demagoguery. Can
didates discussed issues that they know

nothing about and the yokelry, who
knew less, applauded madly. The
South is the same yesterday, today and
forevefnore. It is happy hunting
ground for blatherskite, liquor-head
women chasing, anti-evolution and pro-
Bryan tram evangelists. These dancing
dervishes filled with stupidity and re-
ligious assininity, pass through the
cities and backwoods hamlets emptying
the pockets of the credulous and start
ing each community on church building
programs that would tax the resources
of weather. communities.
OF course the North is not free from
this sort of thing. But the South is
the real Genesis Belt In the North,
particularly in the East, the evangelist
is looked upon merely as an asset to
the business man. He is not taken
seriously except insofar as he can be
depended on to keep the minds of the
plebeians off Of low pay and hard work
to keep the average man thinking OF
the grand feast in the sweet beyond.

NUAL MEETING

Federation annual meeting was largely

Although Messiah Krishnanurti has
come to save our souls and take our
money no new Negro saviour has
graced the scene for at least six
months. OF course President Garvey
continues to issue government DEGREES
and proclamations from the presiden-
tial palace in Atlanta. But these apply
only to the citizens of the black in
visible republic These bulls and ex-
ecutive orders do not concern us who
are too backward and sinful to distin-
guish between the road to freedom in
Africa, and the road to slavery in
America do feel that, although Mr.
Carney is somewhat hors de combat,
some Negro should come forth out Of
hiding and place our feet in the path
to glory. To be sure it would cost
us something, but what is the differ
ences Think Of the fun we would
have @cussin" out the brother after
both he and our money had departed
for new fields of endeavor.

URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS ON
INDUSTRY FOR AUGUST

Bulletin No. 6 of the Industrial Re
Iations Department Of the National
Urban League summarizes employ
ment conditions throughout the coun-
try as follows:
August did not vary from its usual
reputation Of inactivity. Industry
showed little or no fuctuation. Where
it had been good II remained so, and
where poor there was only an oc-
casional sign Of Improvement. 1t was
in August that published accounts Of
the nations business prosperity were
circulated far and wide, but business
continued steady, showing no de-
parture from the conservatively pro-
gressive tenor that has characterized
it in recent months. In various parts
of the country we note the return to
full working forces and in other a
temporary curtailment in number Of
employees. For instance, the stock
yards are on the upward trend and in
certain sections the iron and steel mills
exhibit definite signs of increased pros
perity. In Milwaukee, Kansas City
and Fort Wayne, this latter condition
obtains.
The change most readily seen in the
status of the Negro worker is in the
South where throughout Texas, Okla
homa, parts Of Tennessee and Missouri
farm hands are moving into cotton
areas to harvest crops. Robert s.
Cobb, Executive Secretary of the Mis-
souri, Negro Industrial Commission,
writes:
"The state department of Labor and
the Negro Industrial Commission are
now making a special effort to secure
migrants to harvest the cotton crop in
southeastern Missouri. Offices will be
established in St. Louis and points in
the extreme southeastern section of the
state. The cotton crop is one of the
best in the history of the state. Many
Negroes are buying land and are plan
ming to become permanent citizens.
In Kansas City, Missouri, we note
a loss to Negroes in unskilled jobs on
street improvements, while St. Louis
shows an increase. Charlotte, N. C.,
witnessed a considerable decrease in
the number of truck drivers for road
building and street Improvements. In
Brooklyn a dress factory that has used
colored girls only as pressers agreed
to use them as floor girls and to teach
them draping. The Better Business
Bureau of Cleveland gave employment
to colored girls as shoppers. Carpen-
tiers are leaving Pine Bluff. Arkansas,
because the attitude Of union labor in
terferes with their work. The Atlanta
labor union officials have expressed
themselves as follows in reference to
Negro workers:
ID The Atlanta Trades Federation
is willing to organize and to admit Ne
groes into certain trades.
~ In new organizations formed
these locals will be auxiliary locals.
(3) The labor leaders feel that the
burden of preparation of Negroes for
unions must fall on Negro leadership.
+. (4) The labor movement in Atlanta
does not feel safe with Negroes out Of
the union.
