JIM-CROW NEGRO
MAIL CARRIERS
And FIREMEN
Civil Service Laws Scrap
Of Paper

How racial discrimination is prac-
ticed even in northern cities like
Chicago has been shown in the in
stance of the post office workers and
the fremen.
On Washington's birthday Negro
workers in the government employ
were not asked to be present at pa
triotic celebration and ball" at Guy
on's Paradise to show evidence Of
their patriotism. Invitations were
quietly given to only white employees
in all stations by the foremen and
superintendent All Invitations were
numbered and checked and marked
mot transferable"
In the Chicago fire department, as in
the post Office. no laws bar Negroes
from holding positions. Yet discrim-
nation is prevalent not only socially
but on the job as well. Negroes sue
ceeding in securing positions are Jim
Crowed in single branch in the Tay-
lor street station.
Laws Scrap Of Paper.
A local Negro paper describes the
process in these words "A man OF
our race who applies for a berth on
the fire fighting force OF this city is
examined certified and then placed
on a waiting list. And he waits, and
waits, and waits. unless a member OF
the Taylor street company happens
to die or is retired. Applicants OF
our race need not expect to be ap-
pointed to any other branch Of the de-
partment-there is only one place pos
sible for him"

amen arrived by motor from some
place in California during the day
but made no threats against the res
taurant man, who had run the Amer
lean Kitchen in Kingman for many
years. Early in the evening they en-
tered the restaurant by the rear door
and without uttering a word, opened
fire on King.
Four bullets penetrated his body
and he fell dead, the slayers running
at once to their car and leaving. War
nings of their escape were broadcast
throughout the northern part of the
state and the quintet of gun-men
were thought to have been headed
this way, but were arrested early to-
day at Topoc, when they were at
tempting to cross the bridge on the
way back to California.
Local Chinese, who were notified
of the murder by telegraph, were
much disturbed over the outbreak of
the Tong trouble. King, they said,
had been a resident of Kingman for
the last Is years, and was well es-
teemed there. The Tong troubles
were Of 20-year standing.

RANGE AND CROPS

Clear and warm days in the south
ern part of the state have aided all
& agricultural activities. Cotton picking
E advanced steadily in all southern
sections and the crop developed re-
markably well under favorable wea-
ther conditions. Both soil and wea-
ther conditions favored the seeding
of wheat and it is thought that the
acreage of this grain will exceed that
of last year by fifty per cent. Har-
vest Of grain sorghums is well along
in the Yuma section but has made
little progress in the Salt River
Valley. The crop is large and of ex-
cellent quality The weather has fa-
vored the making of very fine alfalfa
hay in the Yuma Valley. Peas and
lettuce are making excellent progress
in the Salt River Valley.
Light to moderate rainfall occur
red at the Bright Angel station,

Report New Gains
of Negro Workers

In q survey of the months activi-
ties Of Negro workers for November
the December issue of Opportunity,
journal Of the National Urban League,
reports:
"A growing sentiment within the
ranks OF organized labor to organize
Negro workers is noticed in many sec
tions Of the country. In Philadelphia,
where $500 tobacco workers are en-
ployed, efforts are being made to Sc
cure their membership. In Hot
Springs, Ark, 1t Is reported that the
change In union sentiment toward Ne
groes Is noticeable among bricklay-
ers." In Columbia, s. c., more Negro
plumbers and electricians are at work.
These are two trades where rigid
union restrictions have greatly inter-
fered with the granting of licenses as
well as employment of Negroes. In
New York oolored motion picture ODD
orators, who waged a prolonged fight
TO secure union recognition, are picket
ing q Harlem theater as protest
against the theater management's en-.
ployment OF non-union operators IN its
other picture houses. In Chicago an
electrical workers union has made
concessions to colored electricians
who seldom, II ever, enjoy full union

ment compatible with that fact. The
diplomatic body at Picking, as a body
is not recognized by Canton because
neither that body, nor its several
members, has regularized its relations
with Canton.
The Note.
The note follows "Sir:-In order
to avoid Misunderstanding and to as
sist to right perception of the new
realities of the national situation re-
sulting from the extension of nation
alist authority over the greater part
Of China, / have the honor to return
the enclosed letter, dated Nov. 5 and
transmitted thru the post, which pur.
ports to be a protest communicated
by the Senior Consul at Canton by
direction of the Senior Minister of the
interested powers represented at Pek-
ing who declare that they cannot
recognize the legality of the internal
taxes authorized by the Canton au-
thorities' on consumption and produc-
ton of goods within the Liang-Kwang
on the ground that the same are in
direct violation of treaties
Don't Recognize Picking.
My government does not recognize
the existence Of the Senior Minister
Of the interested powers represented
at Picking (who lacks juridical sane
tion), nor are the status and the re-
lations of the fsame powers vis-a-vis
my government regulated on basis,
which can properly entitle them to
raise the question Of direct viola
ton of treaties
Il have the honor to add that my
government is ready to discuss this
and other questions; as and when all
or any of the powers represented at
Picking realize that national power
and authority has long since ceased
to be exercised in Picking and that
the revolutionary and constructive
forces of nationalist China have now
transferred this national power and
authority to my government.
"(Signed) Chen Yu-jen,
Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs"
Supported by Law.
Qualified foreign lawyers, versed in
International law. privately express
the opinion that Foreign Minister
Chen has struck squarely at the weak
est spot in the armor of the diploma
tic body in Picking in its relation with
She nationalist government. Until the
Peking diplomats make clear and GER
tain the category in which they place
the nationalist government /. O.,
whether as de facto authority in
section Of China, or as the holder of
a predominant part of national au-
thority in China-these lawyers state
that the Picking diplomats are in no
position to act, as a body, in dealing
with the nationalist government.

whose wives and children toll with

chamber of commerce in an effort to
make the farmers buy at home" be-
gan responding to toasts with class
collaboration ideas Each group

was the tenor of these overtures to
the business men.
All Hogs Not on Farm.
There was a rapid-fire response on
the part of other farmers. A. H. Pot
ter, Washburn a man who was for
merly connected with the produce
commission business and real estate
business in the Twin Cities, and who
knows both ends of the farm game,
declared that most of the hogs are
in Wall Street, not in the farmers
back yards" He flayed the tax re.
bate as beneftting the big income
holder and not the farmer. He said
the farmer has no right to let anyone
take from him the things his wife and
children deserve, the same as the
wives and children in the cities get.

Rev. Joseph Steinhauser, Auburn
dale, got onto the program with a
talk on How the Church Can Help

The farmers passed a resolution ask
ing farm relief from congress, but
laughed as they did so. This is
merely matter of form; everyone
knows that congress will do nothing
for the farmers" they stated.
''If every laborer, whether with
plane or plow, got the product of his

Split at Homo.
Lampson's behavior is largely die
tated by conditions in England where
the tory cabinet il split on the ques-
ton Of Chinese relations. It becomes
clear now that the foreign office had
several months ago been in favor OF
a more moderate policy towards the
Cantonese. Being in touch with the
situation and knowing the extent of
the Kuomintang power, the foreign
office was willing to make overtures
to the Kuomintang Immediately after
the latter's huge successes in the
Yangtze.
But the tory die-hards in the cabi-
net led by Lord Birkenhead and Win
ston Churchill raised the cry of a
"Bolshevist danger" In China. A
harsher policy was then determined
upon and the ministers to China
changed.
More WarshIps.
Another indication Of the British
attitude towards China is the recent
ordering Of the fourth naval squadron
from Malta to Chinese waters. The
British position, however, seems to
be unsupported by other foreign pow
ers such as the United States. Even
Japan is hesitant about supporting
Chang Tso Lin outside of Manchuria.

WISCONSIN FARMERS DISCARD CLASS
COLLABORATION POLICIES AND SEE
ONLY HOPE IN JOINING WITH LABOR

ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 19.-Unlike
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
zion, which at its Chicago convention
this month was apparently entirely
under the control of big business, the
American Society of Equity, an organi-
iation Of dirt farmers" in Wisconsin
md other states, swung sharply to the
eft in its state convention here.
The convention threw the policy of
lass collaboration, preached by some
f its unintelligent members, over
,oard, and passed a number of resolu-
IONS, including a demand that UNI
armed incomes be taxed more heav-
" than earned incomes.

ton of Labor, to be one of its prin-
cipal speakers. Handley's direct slap
at the bankers and manufacturers who
are getting control of some Of the
farm organizations, and his demand
that the farmers become militant,
brought a stormy session of applause
Both Too Docile.
What the farmer needs is a good
punch on the jaw to make him show
fight" he challenged, and the farmers
agreed. Handley went on and said
that both labor and the farmers have
been altogether too docile. He told
the farmers not to be frightened at
the scare talk in the newspapers,
should the farmers decide to strike to
make their demands for living felt.
Farmers Reciprocate.
The farmers, in their turn, sent sew
eral of their leaders to meeting of
the Central Trades and Labor Council,
which held a special session during
the farm convention.
Patrick Stevens of st. Croix county
made it plain that the farmers under
stood that "the conditions which. rob
the farms Of our boys and girls are
throwing you out of employment" He
explained how the trek of bankrupt
farmers to the cities was complicating
the city labor situation by adding to
the labor surplus and providing green
labor to keep down the wage scales.
Paul Schweinberg, Merrill, farmer
who has been a labor organizer and
militant farm leader for years, and
who remembers the soup kitchens and
bread lines in the most critical days
of New York City labor's fight for
existence, said these two producing
forces, labor and the farmer must be-
come the controlling power in our

forms.
