The Porters' Million

One million dollars increase has been
granted by the Pullman Company to
its more than twelve thousand colored
porters and maids, effective February
Is, 1926. This is an increase of ten per
cent and gives to the faithful comfort
ers Of the travelling public maximum
monthly wage of $oO.5O, which will be
augmented by the continued generous
TIPS Of appreciative riders of Pullman
cars. Some of the faithful" will re-
ceive as much as $104.OO per month,
tat. The company states that this in
crease is 23.75 per cent higher than the
war wage when tips were plentiful and
wages slow to soar, at least in trans
portation occupations.
This concession on the part of Presi-
cent Carry is worthy of appreciation;
and those of the porters who were
thoughtful enough to become a unit
and seek the means of mediation to
achieve the goals they sought are to be

N. c. GOVERNOR GRANTS CON.
DEMNED MAN A REPRIEVE
preston News Service)

Raleigh, n. G., Feb. 18.-Governor
Mclean Thursday reprieved Jim Bal
lard, sentenced to die for murder.
In reprieving the man Mr.. Mclean
said it was for the purpose Of investi-
eating his mental condition. The re-
prieve extends his life until March rs
and he will be kept under observation
at the Negro Hospital for the insane at
Goldsboro.
Ballard was convicted Of the murder
OF Deputy Sheriff Eason Of Gates
County some time ago and the Su-
preme Court upheld the lower court.
Judge Henry A. Grady, the trial Judge,
appealed to the Governor to commute
the sentence TO life Imprisonment be-
cause he had noticed the mans actions
during the trial and felt he may have
been irresponsible 1t was on the
strength Of Judge Grady's request that
Mr.. Mclean decided to reprieve Bal
lard for mental observation.

Shaving the BARRIERS

Down in "dear old Georgia" the
frivolous ways Of simon-pure eco
Monies are running riot, and all be
cause the colored BARRIERS of the au-
gust city of Atlanta are in dire danger
Of being shaved by the City Council
That is to say, their daily toll of bob
bing hair and shaping goatees of their
white patrons is about to be shaved
away from them. In other words. so
Watchful has Atlanta come over inter
racial relations, either at work or at
play, and SO baneful has come the
"barberism" Of efficient colored ton
sorialists, that the City Council is con-
sidering passing an ordinance prohibit
ing Negro razors and scissors from
being used upon white faces and heads.
Interracially speaking, this prohibi-
ton may be all right; but when one
considers the logical conclusion Of
such an evasion, its economic phases
and possibilities are staggering Here
they are; let's look 'em over: "A myriad
Of colored cooks, mattresses, and do
nestle servants would be forbidden
from working for any other than their
own racial group. Many good col
ored chauffeur. gardener, and butler
would have to roll his own" And if

ties of life and other things to the
brothers and sisters of the banned race,
would forthwith be compelled to drop
their co1ored trade, and depend upon
"Nordics" alone for the necessity of
ringing up their cash registers. Oh, /
tail you this doctrine Of segregation is
a hummer" And if the white folks

URBAN LEAGUE PLANS FINAN-
CIAL DRIVE

The Finance Committee OF the Chi
cago Urban League OF which Mr..
Harry d. Oppenheimer is chairman
and Or. M 0. Bousfeld is vice-chair-
man, has set aside the week Of April
9Th for the termination Of its 1886
Annual Drive for Funds. 1t will be re-
called that the Urban League did not
hold drive during the fiscal year
1924-25. due TO the TACT that at the
time set aside for the raising Of funds
in previous years, there was a change
in the executive heads, Mr.. T. Arnold
Hill going to the staff of the National
Urban League. Since the friends Of
the league have not been called upon
TO contribute since the fiscal year
l923-24 It is anticipated that the goal
set will be reached with comparative
ease.
The work of the league has been de-
partmentalized and this has permitted
greater expansion IN its programs Of
activities, thus making more effective
accomplishments possible. The Indus
trial work is under the direction OF H.
N. Robinson, the Civic department
under the leadership Of Mrs. Maude
A. Lawrence and the Department Of
Research and Records i being super
vised BY a special survey committee
consisting of Prof Worth of Chicago
University, Miss Sytz of the Institute
for Juvenile Research, and "A. L. Eos
ter, Executive Secretary Of the Urban
League.
Detailed plans for the drive are be-
ing worked out by special committee
and will be made public in subsequent
issues of this paper.

4. Virginia Is Puzzled

The "Old Dominion States" bright
est minds are in quandary. In their
zeal to systematic the rising tide of
color, through a so-called Racial In
tegrity measure, the Virginia lepis-
lators have evolved puzzle which is
beginning to discomfort MANY a
royal f. F. VS. family. The Racial
Integrity Measure, known among col
ored people as the ''Whitewash Bill"
classes as "colored' all white persons
with any known demonstrable or as
certainable admixture Of Indian or
Negro blood. Furthermore, the bill
torbids their marriage to white persons
and declares void absolutely from the
beginning any marriage entered into
between such 'colored' person and a
white"
In their ardor to be efficient the
reckless lawmakers forgot that many
OF the most distinguished families of
Virginia, rely for their distinction"
upon some downcoming strain Of blood
from Pocahontas or some other equally
famous Indian tree; and it develops that
a dozen or more members Of the Legis-
lature itself would, under the strict
qualifications laid down in the In
tegrity Measure, be "colored." This
disclosure has brought CONSERVATION to
the state; and, judging from the cry
sounded by number of Virginia's
most naughty scions, some changes
must be made in the proposed measure,
in order to save Virginia from being a
part Of its own racial ruin.
AS colored brother said just the
other day, in Richmond: "'Tegrity is
all right, if you don't take it too seri-
ously"

"An Races Are Lovable"

"All races are lovable," said DR..
Percy Stickney Grant, noted white
pastor OF New York, last Sunday in
his sermon on the Mastery of Life"
IIe had just eulogised Abraham Lin
coin for his emancipation of millions
OF Negro slaves, and was undoubtedly
moved to pass on to his blood kins-
men a lesson in love. THE Irish, the
Italians, the Germans, the Jews are
here" he said; and it is our duty to
Hke them and to treat them as Amer
leans; | find all races are 1ovable."
The lesson of Saint Paul to the Cor
inthians has made itself felt here and
there among a few whites, such as DR..
Percy Stickney Grant, attorney Clar-
ence barrow, and others barrow, al
though an agnostic, frequently acts a
greater CHI ian part than those Of his
race who eloquently proclaim them
selves to be divine. Too often. tradi-
ton, custom, and fear crowd out the
element of Love, which. according to
Saint Paul, when absent, leaves naught
but sounding brass and tinkling Gym
balls When one takes an inventory Of
the great white Christian church and
notes the silent acquiescence it has
given to acts Of omission and commits
sion which have stihed tenth part Of
Americas populace, it is indeed re-
freshing to hear one so great as DR..
Grant, reminding his people that all
races are 1ovable; that brotherly love,
not hatred, is symbolic of Christianity;
and that although it is obviously ig-
nored, Christian duty is still present,
despite the black eye which pretenders
are constantly giving it.

THIS LAW WOULD DRAW
COLOR LINE ON MANY
F. F. v. S.

Richmond, Va.-The legislature has
before it a so-called racial integrity"
bill, which its opponents, who number
among them various patriotic societies,
declare would classify as colored some
Of the most distinguished families in
Virginia.
The measure classes as colored all
persons with any known, demonstra-
bic, or ascertainable admixture Of IN
dian or Negro blood" forbids their
marriage to white persons, and de-
clares void any marriage entered into
between such "colored person and a
white"
One historian who has studied the
questions expressed belief that passage
Of the bill would mean classification
as colored of at least a dozen men,
bers Of the general assembly and not
less than 10000 Of the most distin-
guished people in the state.
Only exceptions under the bill would
be descendants Of Indians and whites
married prior to 1919.
AT least a score Of the states most
famous families are descended from
Indian marriages, it is said BY genealo-
gists.

INCOME TAX RETURNS MAY
BE FILED WITH DEPUTIES

In accordance with instructions from
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
at Washington, Deputy Collectors au-
thorized to assist taxpayers in COM
pleting their income tax returns will
be provided with the 1O4O and lO4O-A
forms SO as to begin their acceptance
Of schedules at once.
Mrs. Mabel G. Reinecke, the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue, said Monday:
The instructions issued By Commits
sioner D. H. Blair indicate that they
apply particularly to the service given
TO taxpayers with small incomes BY
deputies whose annual filing period
itinerary requires them to visit towns
and cities where we have no branch
offices. The '1040-A' schedules were
released by wire this morning, but the
'IO4O forms, for incomes over $4,000,
are not yet released The income tax
paying public whose incomes are under
$4,000 and are derived principally from
salaries and wages will receive their
blanks through the mail this week and
until they receive their forms. we hope
the taxpayers will exercise patience.
The fact is that the income tax bills
Of the House and Senate have not Vet
become law and the only reason that
the Commissioner has ordered a par
tlal release Of the forms under the per-
sonal charge Of Deputy Collectors is
to assist the taxpayers with small in
comes, the farmers, and other inhab-
itants Of remote districts. The normal
tax rates OF 11A96 on the first $4,000,
$50 on the next $4,000. and SO on in
come in excess Of $4,000 have been
approved by both House and Senate
and the exemptions Of $500 for a
single person and $500 for a married
person have had like approval, So that
these provisions will doubtless Be
written into the law.
In this connection. attention is
called to the fact that Deputy Collec-
tors are authorized to help taxpayers
in completing their individual income
tax returns, without charge. Deputies
are prohibited from accepting payment
for assisting taxpayers in making out
their returns.
The extent and value Of this service
70 the taxpayer will be greater, if the
preparation of the return is completed
so far as possible before March l..
1926. Assistance in the completion Of
income tax returns may be obtained at
branch offices of the Internal Revenue
Service at the following Chicago loca-
tons; Room SIS Federal Building,
4554 Broadway, 1851 Milwaukee Ave,
803 w. Madison ST, 1870 E. 63rd St,

THE FORMAL OPENING OF
THE DALEY HOSPITAL AND
SANITARIUM MONDAY EVE
MING, NOVEMBER IS

DR.. u. Grant Daley, who is one of
the most extensively known advanced
physicians and surgeons in this city
and in all parts Of this country, who
is also well and favorably known in
many parts Of the old world for bis
skill and medical science, is just be-
ginning to realize his dream which has
haunted him for thirty years or more;
namely, the establishment of private
hospital and sanitarium and that goal
has been reached; for near the first Of
May past, DR.. Daley and his asso-
ciates Drs. Berry, Calls and billiard
moved their offices to 1886 S. Michigan
avenue, the home of the Daley Hos
pital and Sanitarium.
1t is one of the finest buildings in
this city, being one Of the high lclass
mansions which were occupied by the
millionaire class among the whites, To-
Gated on that thoroughfare only short
time ago.
At this time no attempt will be

made to give an elaborate account Of
the interior Of the building and we will
only say that its interior finish in the
way of wood work is indeed a dream
and vision which will always remain
with those who have the pleasure of
gazing upon it.
So far, thirty rooms have been COM
pleted and thoroughly equipped in
every way for patients and more win
be added on as demanded, and it can
be truthfully stated that the Daley
Private Hospital and Sanitarium will
fill long felt want or need in this city.
AS stated before, its doors will be
thrown open to the public Monday
evening, November IS.
DR.. Daley, its founder, received his
scientific medical training largely in
the old world and he has fully drank in
special medical courses or studies at
the London University, London, Eng
land, and the Universities of Vienna,
Berlin and Paris, France He has
also in various ways been prominent
ly identified with the leading medical
schools and colleges in this country,

boss us around; so this year not the
slightest attempt was put forth by us
to secure any advertising business from
him and the ads which he placed in
the columns of the other colored news
papers caused him to look like a
dark or black coIored man in the
face and the result was that the whites
would not vote for him and in the end
he fell very hard on the outside of the
breastwork, which caused us to toss
up our hat and shout with much JOY.
