Once wise man said: Happiness

you have not planted the seeds of

NEGROES WIN SUIT TO PLAY
IN 'PHILLY" GOLF TOURNEY Y
N. A. A. c. p. Commends Philadel-
phia Record for Editorials
and Articles on the
Subject

New York, N. 1.-TWO Negro
golfers whom it was sought to ex-
clude from a public tournament on
city-owned golf links in Philadelphia,
established in court their right to
play and then withdrew from the
tournament, being backed in their
efforts and praised by the editor and
the sports writer of the Philadelphia
Record. The National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, SO Fifth Avenue, on receipt of
the Philadelphia Record containing
the articles, from Julian St. George
White, secretary of the Philadelphia
branch, wrote a letter of thanks and
commentator to the editor. The
sports writer of the Record who back
ed up the colored golfers and de-
manded fair play in his column, is
lished by that newspaper on August
A, reads as follows:
III 0oLOh LINE YIN TIE ~ D.
Lie GOLF LINKS
"Philadelphia's public golf links
were laid out with city money ac-
quired by taxation. The tax laws do
not exempt Negroes. That fact must
be borne in mind in considering the
skirmish between two Negro golfers
and the white officials in charge of
the tournament now being held on
the public links.
"These players, one from Chicago
and one from Newark, had qualified
under the rules to participate in the
tournament. After they had entered
the play, they were accused, under
circumstances certainly open. to sus-
picion, of having violated the rules,
and were forbidden to continue.
Yesterday, counsel for the two
Negro golfers applied for and were
about to be granted an injunction
against the continuance of the tour
nament pending a determination of
their rights. Having won their point,
they withdrew from the contest and
consented to having the injunction
vacated.
This strikes us as good sportsman
ship Better sportsmanship, indeed,
than was displayed by the whites in
charge of the tournament. 1t demon
strates that the Negroes were not de-
manding social equality but social
justice. They did not wish to play
where they were not wanted, any
more than two white men of decent
instincts would wish to intrude upon
gathering of other white men who
should object to their presence. They
retire with 100 per cent of their self
respect.
"This matter has other than per-
sonal aspects. 1t emphasizes the fact
that those who contribute to the sup
port of the city have a right to divi-
dends on the investment, even if their
skins happen to differ in color from
the prevailing tint"
The two colored golfers who es-
tablished their position to the salts
faction of the court and enlightened
public opinion in Philadelphia, are
Robert Ball of Chicago and Elmer
Stout of Newark.

REPORTED MOVEMENT
OUSTINC NEGROES IN
RAILROAD SERVICE
Big Four Brotherhoods Demanding
Contracts from Frisco System
Barring Negro Firemen
and Trainmen
RACE RAILMEN TAKE ACTION

Birmingham, Ala. The largest
body of Negro railmen in the south
have been called to rally against
movement on the part of white work
ers to throw them out of their jobs.
Drastic action was started when it
was learned that the Big Four Broth
erhoods have requested the Frisco
railroad to grant them contracts that
would make it impossible for Negroes
to serve as firemen, trainmen and
yardmen.
Take Definite Steps
Definite steps to meet the menace
were launched recently at the con-
vention of the Interstate Order of
Colored Locomotive Firemen, Engine
Helpers, Yard and Train Service En-
ployes, at which railroad workers
from all parts of the country were
present. Drastic action was consider
ed necessary since the movement
against the Negro is seen as might
terminate in the ousting of Negro
workers from all rail jobs in the
south.
r. l.. Mays, labor counsel of this
city, who has taken up the cudgel in
defense of the Negro workers, has
written J. E. Hutchinson, vice-presi-
dent of the Frisco System, apprising
him of the rumor and urging him to
turn deaf ear to the request of the
Brotherhoods.
