ice men is to be raised by commit
tee of business men who have ap-

disability cases was steadily growing

nervous cases would not be reached
until 1919.

EMPLOYMENT GETTING BETTER
Urban League Reports Milwaukee
Progress; Miners to Be Retained
in the Pittsburgh
District

The industrial relations department
of the National Urban league of
which T. Arnold Hill is director, sum-
marizes employment for April as fol-
lows:
While unemployment continues to
exist, evidences of activity in various
parts of the country indicate that con-
ditions are growing better. Public
projects which were advocated by the
press and social agencies to give en-
ployment in the building of roads, re-
pair of streets and construction of
public buildings have had little to do
with this improvement. The chief
factor appeared to be construction of
privately owned buildings, work in
the farming districts which always
comes with spring, building and re-
pair programs of railroads and of
course the approach of the auto
mobile industry to its normal level
of production. Kansas City, Fort
Wayne, Detroit, Philadelphia, Win
ston-Salem, Baltimore and Pittsburgh
are the principal cities that have pro-
vided information to substantiate
this.
Milwaukee made enviable progress
in new positions for Negroes during
the month of April, for several steel
foundries employing large numbers
of Negroes have increased production
and have called back to work prac-
tically all of their old men available.
Also two automobile concerns en-
ployed drivers to transport new cars
from Milwaukee to Chicago. A tan
ming company added 20 Negro men to
it's force. A drug store syndicate
purchased a chain of stores and col
ored men were employed when the
management took charge Of stores
that did not previously employ Ne
groes. A large enterprise manufac-
turing tubs and kitchen utensils add
ed to their colored force by 40 per
cent during the past month. A new
theater employed maids, pages and
porters, and political activities of Ne
groes netted them jobs for 20 of
their race and resulted in indications
that three qualified officers will be
placed on the police force.
One of the most reliable hotels in
Columbus, Ohio, began the use of Ne
gro bell boys last month. Springfield,
ILL.,, reported more women applicants
sent to work during the past two
months than ever before, while the
number of unemployed men remain
practically unchanged. The employ
ment by one of the large Pittsburgh
coal companies of a colored welfare
worker indicates that Negro miners,
who during the past year jumped
from eight per cent to 40 per cent
of the total employees of the com
pany, will remain permanently now
that the conditions in the mines are
rapidly returning to their normal
status. The company has recently
pointed to this as proof of its policy
to retain Negro workers who came
to their rescue during the strike even
though the old miners are being re-
employed.

A. M. E Church Passes
Important Legislation

important
Chicago, Ill.-The second week of
the general conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, in ses-
sion here at the Eighth Regiment
armory, resulted in the passage of
several resolutions and bills of i'm
portance.
Perhaps the most important of the
resolutions adopted was that endors-
ing the merger of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church and the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
This was approved by the general
conference following heated discus
sion from the floor.
Rivalling this ruling was the pass
age of the bill placing South Ameri-
ca and the West Indies in an indie
pendent district and with bishop in
charge of this work who will give all
his time to that particular district.
Other bills which were presented and
which will affect materially the af-
fairs of the Church and conferences
have not been returned from the revi-
sion committee.
Among those that are yet in the
pigeon-hole is the bill on Limitation
Of lay delegates" AS predicted, this
bill did not come out of the commit
tee room with the first batch. Lay
men are making determined fight

Chicago, III. - (ANP)-The pro-
posed union of all Negro Methodists
under the name of United Methodist
Episcopal Church, which was endors-
ed at the general conference of the
African Methodist Church, which is
in session at the Eighth Regiment
armory, will meet with the disap-
proval of the followers of African
Methodism, in South Africa and West
Indies, according to Benjamin Nux-
malo, one of the delegates from the
South African district.
Mr.. Nuxmalo, who is an African
chief and uncle of the king of Swat
land, in a statement following the
action of the conference declared:
zone of the reasons why the African
Methodist Episcopal Church has been
able to do such effective work in At
RIGA has been due to the name 'Afrl-
can Methodist This designation of
the great church aroused the interest
of the people and affected their
pride. While they, like all Method
lists, will welcome the union of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church
and the African Methodist Episcopal
Zion Church because they realize the
strength which the union will bring
out, but I am almost positive that
they will resent the omission of the
word African from the name of the
church-after all, we are all of Afri-
can origin"
The opinion of Mr.. Nuxmalo was
that of many of the American mem
bers Of. the conference and formed
the main point of the opposition to
the union. The group favoring the
union, which was victorious, was led
by Bishop A. j. Carey and Bishop W..
A. Fountain, of Alabama.

In this respect, despite all the Ku

how much progress we have made it
