ing all the losses recorded last week
with gains ranging to more than
four points.

Railroad shares swung ahead at
the outset. buying stimulated by
decision of the railroad workers to

ton. Railroad bonds made an even
better showing.
Experts estimated the railroad
wage reduction would save the car
riers S2l4 900 900 a year. The weak
er roads, in addition, will have the
benefit CT another Sl00,000,000 to
be derived from increased freight
rates.
Steel shares usurped the market
lead later in the day. Two motives
were given for buying in this group.
The first was expectation of heavy
railroad orders for equipment, and
second, expectation of orders from
the Orient for war supplies.
General motors rose a point on
belief the worst directors would do
when they met Wednesday would
be to cut the dividend to 50 an
nually from the present rate of So

News At a Glance

The big news of the week is the
martial rift between the Paul Robe
sons predicted last year by the press.
Robeson's picture will be found else
where in this paper. The Elks Of Los
Angeles voted NOT to entertain the
Herd this year. Hard times given as
their reason. Washington, D. c.. may
take the annual meeting of the color
full Elk lodge. If Marcus Garvey re-
turns to this country certain of his
former followers plan to seek the in
stitution of mail fraud charges against
him. Major" Marshall w. Taylor for
mer worlds champion bicyclist died
penniless in a Chicago hospital Tues
day of this week. Eddie Tolan, the
fast Michigan Splinter last Saturday

occurrences of the people around HIM
This is not generally true. Even the
police court reporters have no relish
for the job Of reporting the trials and
tribulations of members of the human
family who crowd the courts of JUS
tice daily. But it is their job and it
must be done. Just rs it is the task
and duty of the editor no matter the
size of his publication to record fairly
and accurately the happenings of the
day. 1t is no personal matter with him
that his paper records the fact that
the John Browns or the Rich Quicks
are getting their divorce or that Sam
Whisky was given 80 days in the
lworkhouse for drunkenness; or that
Frank Jones was caught with an
other mans belongings. 1t is just as
much his job to print the bad things
that happen to people as it is to print
the many good things that people do.

Orderly Arrangements; Negroes As
Traffic Cops.
At the automobile entrance to the
Camp there were traffic cops" veter-
ans appointed by their fellows and
working in shirts, who directed the
steady inflow of visitors and cars
which poured into the camp continu-
ously. There was no Jim-Crow here
either, for welding authority with
equal levity as the white vets were
brownskinned boys, who wore a cheer
full grin. This was just another SYM
boil of the efficient order which exists
at Camp Anacosta, which the Capitol
thought would be a menace to the SAT-
ETY. of Washington and it's citizens. In
fact the only hostility observed at the
camp is towards Communists with dire
sundry mutterings being heard when
ever the word "GRed" was mentioned.
According to Sergeant. Ford there are
some Reds in the camp, but every eff
fort is being made to locate them and
throw them out.
Choose A Leader.
Leader of the Negroes in this
"strangest of strange armies is Cliff
ford 1. Ford, a Sergeant of Camden,
New Jersey, who commanded a group
of IS Negro vets from Camden into
the camp, where natural ability as a
leader soon asserted itself, and elevat-
ed him to one of the chief aides of the
Commander-in-Chief A. A. Altman.
Sergeant Ford is taken into confer
ence on all matters that pertain to the
camp by the leaders. The boys call
him "The Sarge"
All the Vets are determined as they
repeat frequently that they are ready
to stay there until 1916 till Congress
gives them some consideration. And
they mean that too!
