Senator Robinson is a bitter foe of

DURBA, Union of South Africa,
Aug. 16-The veteran south African
general, Jan Christian SHUTS, gave
warning to the world today that an
Italo-Ethiopian war may strike q
spark which will explode the powder
key of relations between blacks and
whites thruout Africa.
II think it will shake the whole
system of civilization to its foun-
dations, should the league Of nations
fail at this critical moment" SHUTS
told an interviewer.
Sees Italy's Move Not Isolated
The Boer war leader, now the I'M
ions minister of finance, broke his
governments official silence con-
corning war prospects when he said
Italy's adventure in east Africa
could not be looked upon as an iso-
lated move, adding:
"It will create a serious position
in Europe because of the repercus-
sions in adjoining British territories
and the lntenSlflcatlOn OF black
against-white feeling.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that invasion of Ethiopia by Italy
will arouse the anxious feeling thru
out Africa between the whites and
blacks. We have seen the effect the
Russo-Japanese war had in raising
a feeling between Europe and Asia.
This Ethiopian adventure by Italy
may be most far reaching in it's eff
feet on the African mind. You may
find every African sympathizing
with Ethiopia"
Predicts Long War
SHUTS expressed the opinion Italy

them from taking a strong position
as inteceders.
He also predicted long and cost
-ly war, in the event Musolini at
tempts to storm the Ethiopian strong
holds, Recalling his own guerilla
tactics in the Boer war when he kept
far superior British forces at bay for
two years, he said the terrain over
which he led the Beers is similar to
that of Ethiopia.
"Italy may overwhelm Ethiopia at
the start with airplanes and poison
gas" he said, "but it is one thing
to overwhelm a country, another to
occupy it. She may find she has bitten
off more than she can chew"
SHUTS indicated he views the pos
sibility Of Japanese support for ETH
opia seriously.

WRITER ASKS FOR
MORE PEOPLE IN
BUSINESS FIELD
BY HARRY ADAMS

Perhaps there never was a time
when the colored people needed to
get into business than now. Many
have elected to do so simply because
they have no other alternative ex-
cert unemployment, charity and star
walton. Those who have had the fore
sight and the intestinal bravery have,
for the most part, done admirably
well. Of course, there have been
others who entered into the business
field without the proper spirit, and
without any idea Of being of service
to the public. They failed. They should
have failed.
Many businesses in the neighbour
hood manned by white persons who
saw the feasibility of hiring Colored
men and women. These neighborhood
employees have made good. There are
many coming behind them who can
take their places and serve WELL
Meanwhile, they will be observed as
the group who thru their training
in business under fair employers, as
thes ones who will open new con-
Germs in the future as reputable COM
petitors. With more of the proper
kind of business competition in our
midst those of us who live in the
community will receive a greater
trade benefit. We will want to trade
more in our own neighborhood be-
cause we can feel more assured, be-
cause of the gilt-edge competition,
that we can get what we want when
we want it and at the price we can
pay.
Shining examples of our people who
have seen fit to go into business to
make a living can be seen by a casual
glance at Oglesby's Market on 35th
street near Indiana avenue; Vain
wright store on East 51st street, this
concern has two other stores; Wills
Market at 40th and Indiana avenue;
Mrs. Herron's Grocery at Nth and
Wabash avenue, the Johnson Shoe
store on Nth street. This is a part
of large list of businesses estab
lished by colored peopled who are
making a great contribution to the
economic development of the commu
nity-a development needed among
any group Of people if they are to
progress along with other people Of
other districts.
Let's don't wait a minute. Let's
get into business right away. 1t re-
quires a lot Of courage, patience,
mental and physical effort and some
money. But it has been said time
and again that it is sinful to waste
our energies. Regardless of the time
we CAN employ ourselves and even
tually help others by hiring them.
What nobler efforts could we make?

THREATEN To
ORGANIZE ALL :.
STORE CLERKS

"Big Bill'' Tate who is the orga-
nicer Of the Butchers Union and
very successful in this line, is threat
ening to organize the clerks in stores
and shops on the southside so that
they may receive SIS to 500 per week
The SIS will be the minimum and 500
the maximum.
1t is claimed that at many of the
stores, the clerks are not receiving
a living wage and the proprietors
are "ice cold" on making any ad-
vancement in wages. II is claimed
that since the State of Illinois has
passed way, making it a fine if
its broken, that operators in beauty
shops are to receive at least $1,000
per week, that it is proper and just
! that clerks who go to work at 9 P.
M. ir the week and 10 P. M. on Sat-
urday's and every night late during
the Xmas holidays, the store clerks
should be raised in salary.
The shops, the organizer claims,
make enough money on the sales of
all kinds of merchandise to increase
the pay of these poorly paid clerks.
Some of the clerks have been with
the shops for several years and are
still drawing the same salary. Many
of the clerks solicit thei. friends to
purchase garments and merchandise
but the clerks get no rebate. Were
those clerks paid more, it would, it
would be possible to spend more
money in the neighborhood where
they so faithfully work.
STEALS THE PEOPLES GAS

Royal had been robbing the gas COM
pany for more than six xnonths, tes-

BY ROSS C. SIMMONS

Walking north from 59th to 26th
street on State street on the east side
Of the street, there were counted rs
colored store front churches. The
World is not opposed to churches or

and greater influence and power
could be obtained.
could be exerted by such coopera-
ton and union. AS it is now, the
'flocks' are too scattered, Many of
these "store fronts" could be conven-
lently used for business places of
those who are now operating business
in Easements. In fact, more business
is needed than the number of small
churches now in existence.
During the summer months, while
the "brethern and sisters" are wor-
shipping, loud noise is heard in the
store fronts and it attracts atten-
ton of people on street cars and in
automobiles and it does not reflect
any wholesome credit to the colored
race. Loud noise Of shouting and
singing has become SO unbearable
that neighbors have t. make COM
plant.
It would be far betto1 if the pas
tors of the small s-rre fronts would
join the religious forces Of a church,
that is large in e.race ard make room
for men and women who wish to enter
business;it would also add greater
power and strength to the Colored
people in the city. Too many such
churches on one street has no good
effect.

Miss. Lynches
Two More Men

Pittsboro, Miss, Aug. 16-Embol,
dened by the consciously planned
failure of State and local officials
to apprehend the lynchers of six
laborers in five previous instances, a
Calhoun County gang kidnapped and
murdered Bodie Bates here.
Another laborer who has not yet
been identified was seized by gang
in it's second trip to the local Jail. 1t
could not be learned whether he too
was killed.
The time-worn lie of attempted
rape" Of a white woman, was raised
by the lynchers in order to Justify
the Sayings.
Enter The Jail
Late Sunday night, group num-
bering less than fifty, entered the
Jail encountering no resistance from
the deputies on duty. The gang UNI
locked the Bates cell and carried him
the Yalobusha river bridge, one mile
south of Calhoun City. There they
hung him from a trestle.
The lynchers returned early the
next morning to the Jail and abducted
the second laborer, again meeting
with no opposition from the deputies.
Marshall ]. L. Lee declared that
the workers had confessed" but did
not say to what. Sheriff Jack w. Pow
eli claimed that Bates had admitted
he was near the white woman's
house. 49,. -. :. :. :. =. 49,.

Other witnesses testified that when

times before she would admit him.
Once he gained entrance, they said,
he pushed her outside and locked the

Miss Washington stated that once
she was inside, once more she decided
to let the argument drop owing to her

been beaten, her face being swollen
