Mailers' union and made the mail
ers an integral part Of the 1nterna-

draw their membership. The resolu-
ton dissolving the mailers must be

CANADA RESENTS.
EMPLOYMENT OF.
u. S. STUDENTS

WINNIPEG, Canada, Aug. "a
Home folks first is the war cry of
the Canadian Union Bulletin, here,
which is peved because Howard
University boys still hold their jobs
on Canadian railways while some
local men have been laid off.
From June until September" the
Bulletin continues, "the tourist
trade is in full swing, and In order
to accommodate the many sightseers
who come to enjoy the natural beau
ty of the Canadian west (and the
wet climate), the Canadian Ma
tional Railways increase its train
service. This means that a number
of extra sleeping-car porters are re-
quired. To meet this need, some six
teen men. all of them residents of
Canada (some are returned soldiers)
were hired tnd given a course of
training in the school for porters
which is established in the terminals
at Winnipeg"
After these men were given full
training in the duties of sleeping
car porters, without pay, they were
finally put on the pay roll.
again according to the Bulletin,
"early in June the National Canad-
ian Railways imported fifteen stu
dents from Howard College Glow
ard University, college for colored
people in the Southeastern states, to
work for them as sleeping car por-
ters for period of three months.
These boys underwent the same
course of training as the other por-
ters. with this difference they were
paid whilst training, and provided
with room and board to boot"
Added to this grievance, the Ca
madam citizens who first underwent
training were soon laid off because,
the officials said, work was slack, al
though the college students were
Kept on. Also the starting wage for
porters is SIS per month with uni
fern provided by the company, and
meals while working. Citizens who
take these jobs have TO provide
themselves a home and meals while
on duty. The college students, how
ever, are provided with room and
board all the time they are in the
employ of the company and are paid
the regulation wage beside.
This, I'm the mind of the Union
workers. raises a very important
point in so far as the company has
pleaded on several occasions, when
the porters have asked for an in
crease in wages. that they could not
afford to give them one.

New Dahlia Bloom

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. (Spe-
cial )-There's a woman Burbank
out in the Ingleside Heights district
in the person of Mrs. Nellie Miller,
colored, of 124 Ralston st. She is
often referred to as the "dahlia wiz
ard" and what she doesn't know
about that particular flower isn't
worth knowing.
Right now she is being hailed as
the genius who brought the green
dahlia of the pompom variety to San
Francisco. This strange bloom is said
to be a step toward the mystic blue
dahlia, the aim of all dahlia growers.
1t will be exhibited here in San
Francisco for the first time at the
annual show of the Dahlia Society,
which is to be held at the Palace
Hotel September l to 3 inclusive.
Mrs. Miller also has about so other
varieties of dahlias which she will
exhibit at the show. One of these is
a large golden apricot colored
bloom, with rose tints, ten inches in
diameter, which she has named after
The San Francisco Call.
Mrs. Miller is the owner and head
gardener of the 'lngleside Heights
Dahlia Farm, which is one of the
show places of the city.

LOAN RAISED
FOR AFRICAN
COCOA TRADE

NEW YORK, Aug. -(Speeial)
Preliminary negotiations for a $2,-
100000 loan have been concluded
by Winifred Tete-Ansa, a native of
the Gold Coast, West Africa, with
New York banking interests. The
loan is to be used to finance produc-
tion and marketing of cocoa grown
on the Gold Coast.
Tete-Ansa is quoted as saying THAI
his primary object in seeking finan-
cial assistance for the cocoa growers
of his country was to relieve them
of the domination now exercised by
a group of London cocoa importing
interests known as the African and
Eastern. He declared that prices OBJ
talned by natives for their cocoa at
the depot OF the African and East
ern and its subsidiaries was below
the world market price.
New York banking interests who
are underwriting the loan have been
impressed with the unbounded trade
possibilities in West Africa shown
them by Tete-Ansa and an import
ant commercial alliance Is expected
to result from the connections being
made between Tete-Ansa and Amer
lean capital.
More than two-thirds OF the cocoa
grown in the world now comes from
the West Coast of Africa. Besides
the cocoa trade. the Industrial boom
the increased agriculture with great
er market outlet will bring is bound
to have market effect on the de-
velopment OF the coast
Tete-Ansa is a native African and
he is representing the paramount
chiefs of the Gold Coast. He has
studied cooperatives in England and
plans to establish $1,000,000 CO.
operative crop bank in Africa.
I'm taking white staff back
with me, white bank manager and
accountants. I'll need Americans,
because a good part of the banks
business will be with America. No,
won't use any New York Negroes.
You see. while | haven't been In
New York very long, I've got the
impression Negroes over here haven't
much business training and expert
ence. There are few Insurance
brokers or real estate brokers, but
no one who seems to have any
grasp Of sound business principles .

The annual memorial or religious
service of the Elks was held Sunday
night in the Mother Zion A. M. Il.
Church, where the business sessions
OF the order also are being held.
The convention proper opened Mon
day morning with j. Finley Wilson
of Washington ID. c., grand exalted
ruler, presiding. Appointment of
committees and organization for the
sessions occupied the day. The out
standing feature OF Tuesdays ses-
sion was the address Of the grand
exalted ruler In rendering HIS re-
port Mr.. Wilson outlined the history
of the organization and told what
the Elks were doing for the promo
tion of the health, education, civic
and moral development OF the Me-
gro.
Speaking of the growth OF the
Elks, since he was elected, Grand
Exalted Ruler Wilson said: "I was
elected grand exalted ruler In 1922
in New York. and we had then s20.-
900 members. Today we have a
membership of $50 900, with lodges
in every state. Canada, Porto Rico
and Africa"
He said that there were 10000
Juveniles. and thirty state associa-
tions. THE money" he said, ''has
Increased from 100000 to $3.50. eco.
and have $4,000 mose than last
year." Wilson told of The appoint
ment of health commission that
conducted a survey in every city
over 500 to ascertain the health
status of the race. He said that
the survey conducted by the E1ks
had shown that there had been
some mistake relative to the death
rate of the Negro. Wilson said that

Company had become greatly inter-
ested in the survey, and had offered
to underwrite our report.
Wilson said, I'VE have thirty-two
boys and girls that the Elks are edu-
eating who are leading in their sew
eral colleges.
Threatening weather with inter-
mittent spells OF rain marred the
spectacular parade OF the Elks on
Wednesday. In spite Of this the
parade proved one OF the most
spectacular ever seen In New York.
It took more than three hours for
the parade to pass the official re-
viewing stand where city and state
officials were kept busy acknowledg-
ing the salutes OF the marchers. A
more diversified parade could not
be staged. An accurate count prov
