CHICAGO URBAN
LEAGUE HOLDS
INDUSTRY WEEK
Meetings Held All Over City at
White Clubs, Churches,
By Radio.
To Be Held Annually
Aim to Get Jobs for Negroes by
Firms Who do not Now
Employ Them.
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, ILL.,, April 15.-In drive
to develop public opinion favorable to
Negro labor and to persuade indus
tries and employers to open wider
their doors to Negro men and women
workers, the Chicago Urban League
launched last Sunday, Negro in In
dustry Week.
Nationally Known Speakers.
With battery of nationally
known speakers, most of whom had
been in attendance at the National
Urban League Conference held in st.
Louis on hand, the plea for greater
opportunity for black workers, based
both upon their availability and the
worthwhile records which they are
making in many of the plants and
factories of the city and country, was
carried to white Chicago in meetings
held over the city, at their clubs, and
churches and through the radio. DR..
John Hope, President of Morehouse
College,; Eugene Kinckle Jones,
Charles S. Johnson, Editor of OPP
portunity Magazine; T. Arnold Hill,
head of the Department of Industrial
Relations; Ira Reid and Hubert of
New York, and J. H. Kearns of Mil
waukee were among the colored
speakers, and many prominent white
speakers filled engagements each day
during the entire week.
Negroes Made FOremen.
Some unusual reports Of the rec
ords for efficiency and ability being
made by Negro workmen in some of
the larger plants of Chicago where
they work in mixed groups and have
been in some instances made fore
men, were given by employers and
personnel managers.
Organizations Cooperate.
Some of the leading organizations
of the city, the Mems City Club, the
Women's City Club, the Chicago
Woman's Club, the Appomattox Club
and the Jewish Woman's Club were
among those cooperating in making
the effort success. The Negro in
Industry Week closed with a mass
meeting at Wendell Phillips High
School, at which report was given
Of the survey made of the 288 busi-
ness houses conducted by white peo2
pie in given colored residential dis
tricts of the South Side area which
had been studied and approached
with request that they give colored
employees an opportunity for en-
ployment. Executive Secretary A. L.
Foster and Industrial Secretary n. N.
Robinson, who had the effort in
charge, were much gratified by the
fine response which was met. "The
purpose of Negro in Industry Week
which we are planning to make an
annual affair" said Secretary Foster,
"is to
1. Arouse public thinking on the
low economic status of Negroes,
forced upon them by lack of occupa-
tional opportunity.
2. To impress upon Negroes the
necessity for training and thorough
application to the jobs they now hold
as means of widening employment
opportunities for them and demon
strating the capacity of the race.
8. To get jobs for colored men and
women in occupations and business
houses that do not now offer employ
ment or which afford little chance for
advancement"

For a century and half the Mon
gols ruled China, sometimes barba-
rously, sometimes well. Kubla Khan
Q259-129D held court magnificently;
Marco Polo has described his days,
and Coleridge has described his
dreams. Kubla sent the great Vene-

request for 100 Christian teachers 10

nese; Gregory X sent only two, where
upon Kubla revenged himself by well
coming the influx of Buddhistic prac-
tees and beliefs. When Polo told the
West of the wealthy empire in the

accused him Of braggadocio, and nick
named him Marco Millions.
In 1868 the Mongols had been pa

China, and had lost their mischievouS

sway till 1644, when the Manchus, an

dom and established their dynasty by
the ancient right of the sword. 1t is
the fate of all settled and civilized
peoples, it seems, to he overrun at last

bore with the Manchus patiently, wore
pigtails to please them, and then, IN
