ectors of Chicago's Provident Hos
pital and Trimming School when

County tuberculosis League en-
January 9th in Orange, N. J.
The occasion was the first meet
ing of the New Year for the Negro
Advisory Committee of the Essex
County League. The prominent
guest speaker, DR.. Forsythe, was
one of several Negro physicians

in general medicine at Provident

this experience, he engaged in ex-

PUBLIC UTILITIES AND
NEGROES


Street cars, telephones, lights,
gas and water are all used by the
public and they fall under the head
of public utilities.
Socialism and communism say:
All things which are used by the
public should be owned and oper-
ated by the public. The Negro is
part of the public and logically
should have ownership and employ
ment in these utilities. But does
he? The writer does not know how
many Negroes have the use of all
these utilities, but he does know
that few or no Negroes are en-
ployed in them. These utilities
should belong to the people as a
whole who pay for them and not
to few New York stock holders.
The above could not be.
If the Negro wants to remain
in the state of Minnesota, he had
better begin to pool his small earn
ings and organize himself into a
cooperative body and begin to pro-
vide jobs and opportunities. He
need not expect other people to
provide anything for him. Every
one nowadays is too busy with his
own affairs to pay any attention to
the Negro. If five thousand Ne
groes pool ten cents each, this will
represent a good start.
