W WASHINGTON, Dec. Ia - The
Association for the Study of Negro
Life and History sponsors the cele-
bration of Negro History Week.
This year it falls between February
and IL
1t is most unfortunate, however,
that some persons have misconcep-
tion Of the meaning Of Negro His
tory Week It shows lack of
knowledge Of the background and
the present status Of the Negro to
think that what we should know
about these matters may be covered
during one week The Negro has
participated III the making Of world
culture along with other races which
have thus achieved, and his contri-
button requires just as much time
for careful investigation and study.
The Association for the Study of
Negro Life and History has always
emphasized as the proper sort of
celebration not the staging Of few
reeitations and deelamations or
speeches by distinguished men. The
week should be given over entirely
to a sort Of stock taking, Or inven-
tory, Of what the schools and col
leges have accomplished in these
fields during the entire year. The
participants. therefore. should be
those who have done the work not
those persons placed on these pro-
grams to amuse rather than instruct
and inspire.
Working along this line, therefore,
most Of the institutions Of learning
have joined with the Association in
reaching the desirable end OF de-
seioping Negro History Week into
Negro History Year While the As
sociation distributes informative lit
erature and issues annually an at
tractive poster inviting attention to-
the special exercises suggested for
the second week Of February, II
tries It's best to disabuse the public
mind OF any effort TO dispose Of the
Negro in the curriculum during
seven days.
Probably the most telling factor
i'll approaching this desirable result
has been The Negro History Bull
letin. Nine issues are published
every year, and a special issue for
February dealing IN detail with Me-
gro History Week is made available
early ia the year. The Bulletin
carefully outlines the work for the
entire year and thus supplies a salts
factory guide for the study Of the
Negro.
Beginning in October, 1897, the
Bulletin undertook to cover briefly
in the language Of children the his
tory Of the Negro from Africa unto
the present in America. Each issue
had chapter following in the ma
Jufal Ofucf Inc preceding lHouBHt,
and feature stories were added for
further emphasis Persons and
events to be remembered were
scheduled from month TO month.
This year the Bulletin is working
along the same line. Starting in
October, 1898, the periodical is IN
dertaking to cover in simplilied style
the outstanding achievements of the
race. These will finally present the
important facts Of the life and his
tory Of the Negro from a new point
of view. The October issue dealt
with oratory, the one for November

PROGRESS OF THE
FIVE-DAY WEEK

The action Of the convention of the
international Stereotypers' and Elec-
trotypers' Union of North America, at
Memphis, Tenn, in adopting resolu-
tion establishing mandatory five
day, forty-hour week for the union
members, subject to a referendum of
the locals, is an added illustration of
the onward march of the shorter work
week by trade union action.
The present laws of the Stereotyp-
ers' and Electrotypers' Union permit
the spreading of the 40 hours over a
period of six days. Under the new
proposal, the union would not nego-
tiate agreements which failed to in
clude the five-day provision.
The Executive Council of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor reported to
the 1887 convention of the Federation
that "A national and international

had already established the five-day
week, covering 931,916 union mem
bers, including both small and large
unions. Among the largest unions
with the five-day week were the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, covering 14S,750 workers;
the International Association of Ma

Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers
International Union of America, COW
ering $4,000 workers, and the Ma
tional Federation of Post Office

The smaller unions with the five-day

and Whisk Makers Union, covering
S4 workers; the United Leather Work
ers' international Union, covering
1900 workers; the Coopers lnterna-

SIT-DOWN STRIKES
ARE ILLEGAL,
TT. S. COURT RULES

Chicago, Ill. (ILNS) The U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, by two-to-
one decision, has reversed an N. L.
R. B. ruling instructing the Fansteel
Metallurgical Corporation of North
Chicago to re-employ 90 persons dis
charged for staging sit-down strike
in the plant II months ago.
The majority opinion of the court
held that the employer was justified
in discharging the employees, feeling
that they severed relationship with
the company themselves when they
took and retained exclusive possession
of his property against his will"

United Powder and High Explosive

ers' Union of North America, cover
ing 1,025 workers.
Undoubtedly the report of the Ex-
ecutive Council to the 1888 convention
of the American Federation of Labor

the other directors. that he has
obstructed and sabotagcd the
work of the IVA, must be accept
ed as true. he having refused to
offer testimony in denial.
"On the record as it stands
Chairman Morgan has shown by
his refusal to answer questions
that he is guilty Of contumacy."
The ultimatum was so emphatic
that observers saw it as a tacit
demand that Morgan prove his
charges or hand over his resigna-
ton. Veterans who have seen
presidents come and go for 20
years were agreed that none had
ever delivered a sharper rcbuke.
Most of the hearing revolved
around the Berry case in which
Sen. George l.. Berry, d., Tenn,
filed an unsuccessful claim for
S3,OOO,OOO damages for marble
prop critics flooded by IVA
waters. Morgan imputed bad
faith and "an attempt at a bare
face steal" to his associates and
Berry and Mr.. Roosevelt demand
ed confederation.
The chairman failed to do so
and insisted on reading his state
ment, which, he said, Twill provide
the answer" The president was
not satisfied however, and laid
down the ultimatum.
