Decline I'm I1literacy
S1sosvn BY US. Census
SOUTH CAROLINA RANKS
HIGHEST IN ILLITERACY

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The Bureau
of the Census announces a signif-
cant decline in Negro illiteracy in the
United States as reported at the CEN
sus Of 1880. New York State reported
the lowest percentage of illiteracy,
2.5, of any state in the union. In the
South illiteracy dropped from 1873
per cent in 1910 to 26 per cent in 1920
and to 1877 per cent in 1890.
The Bureau defines an illiterate per-
son as anyone 10 years Of age or over
who is not able to read and write,
either English or in some other Ian
guage. OF the 9,292, $50 Negroes, 10
years old and over, 1853 per cent or
1,51s,s9S were reported illiterate.
In the North illiteracy decreased
from 1915 per cent in 1910 to per
cent in 1920 and Al per cent IN 1880;
the highest percentage in this section
was reported in Missouri, followed By
Rhode Island, Ohio and Indiana.
South Carolina reported the highest
percentage of illiteracy in the United
States in 1880, displacing Louisians
where the highest percentage Of illit-
eracy was reported at each census
since 1890; Alabama occupied second
place.
In the West, the percentage de-
creased from per cent in 1910 to 4.9
per cent ia 1920 and 81 psT ce.t in
1880. California, with 67.3 per cent
Of the total Negro population Of the
West, had GA per cent of the litter
ates reported for that section.
Negro illiteracy in the United
States was higher for males than for
females, although in the District Of
Columbia and in Is states-including
New York, Illinois, Kansas and Cali
fornia - the percentage of illiteracy
was higher for females than that of
males.

WHITE WORKERS STRIKE WHEN
NEGRO UNION MAN is FIRED

CHICAGO.-(ANP)-As a protest
against the discharge of Riley Free
man, Negro union worker, 5000 sau-
sage workers, 99per cent white,
walked out last week, picketed the
plant of the Davies-C Columbia COM
pany, and precipitated a battle in
which heads were cracked and union
lists and scabs were taken to Jail.
The trouble began after Freeman
had been chosen spokesman for Lo-
cal No. 434, which is composed main
ly of white union workers, and is af-
filiated with the International Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen's
union. .....
Shortly after Freeman had been
chosen spokesman, a white foreman,
said to be of southern extraction, is
reported to have begun to "ride" him
and eventually discharged him. When
Freeman was discharged, the mem
bers of his local walked out, and
others followed in sympathy.
Union pickets We're placed around
the Davies Columbia plant and when
scabs sought to go to work, a fight
ensued in which seven squads of po-
icemen took part. Among those ar
rested wereztwo American Federation
of Labor Organizers, Carl Schultz and
Will "Bill" Tate, former heavyweight
Tate was taken before Judge Fred
erick Elliott and discharged.

Hard on the heels Of the most dis

brief career, the 22-year odd Pasadena
youngster has signed a one-year con-
tract with Big Bill Tilden on terms
Tilden declines to disclose but which
possibly will net Vines about $4,000
for 1894.
The tall Californian, amateur
champion OF the United States in
1891 and 1882 and Wimbledon title
holder In 1882, will make his profess
hional debut in match with Tilden
in Madison Square garden Jan. 10.
Then will follow short tour to the
Pacific coast and back, after which
Tilden and Vines will engage in a
series Of nine contests. along Davis
cup lines against Henri Cochet and
Martin Plaza of France. The first Of
these will be played in the Garden the
middle of February.
Although Vines was beaten In every
one of his major tests during the
campaign just closed, Tilden is conf
dent the youngster quickly will re-
gain the form that made him a sem
sation in 1881 and 1882.
With Cochet and Vines both en-
listed under his banner, Tilden now
intends to organize a regular circuit
OF pro tournaments next year.
Cochet, Plaza. Hans Nusslein of Ger
