That is, the union refuses to take more
members, on the grounds that it now
has all the members for whom work
can be found. Thus, the young man
looking for a job is confronted by the
fact that he cannot get a job unless he
joins a union-and that the union will
not accept him, ever though he can
afford the initiation fee, which in some
cases is very high-$200 for example.
To make matters worse, the sem
iority' question has now been brought
up, and was a major issue in the San
Francisco department store strike.
Workers demand unions that are clos
ed to new members; that employers
choose from the existing membership,
and that the seniority system control
promotions. A young worker, there
fore, can hardly get work, or if he does
and has exceptional ability, he is held
back by an inflexible rule which makes
age or tenure of service the main ar
bitter for advancement.
That state of affairs is reaction,
not progress. And, if carried far
enough, the honest union and the am
bilious working mar will find that a
so-called labor movement which closes
opportunity to the young, and makes
the employer impotent in selecting
help, will be their W worst enemy.

GENIUS OF THE NEGRO

In three hundred years of con-
tact with civilization, representatives
of the Negro race have become profile
lent in every line of human effort
oratory, poetry, medicine, music, lit
erature, law, agriculture, statesman
ship, war. In those three hundred
years the Negro race has leaped over
that vast chasm which separates the
lower order from the highest type of
civilization. No other race OF the
earth ever accomplished such a feat.
1t took the Anglo-Saxons more than
twenty centuries to achieve the same
results. Pushkin the renowned Rus
sian poet; Dumas, the celebrated
French novelist; and Douglass, the
famous American orator are among
the most distinguished representatives
of the black race. But they were not
pure-blooded Negroes and those who
decry the talent of the Ethiopian at
tribute the genius of these men to their
Caucasian lineage rather than to their
African blood.
But Toussaint L'Ouverture, the
military genius of Haiti; and Phyllis
Wheatley, the Black Daughter OF the
Sun. and Blind Tom, the renowned
musical phenomenon-was it Caucas~
ian lineage that made them great?
Not so! Not a drop of white blood
ran in their veins. These celebrated
characters were of pure Ethiopian or
igin. their faces were black as mid
night, and their progenitors were n
tutored-yet they disclosed genius of
the very highest order, particularly
EOuverture and Blind Tom.
The celebrated Haytian patriot,
born a slave, Of pure blooded African
parents, displayed military capacity
which not only defied the armies OF
England and Spain, but baffled the
genius of Napoleon. Toussaint was
n of the most dazzling military fig
ures of the world; but that was not
all. He possessed other remarkable
talents and was a statesman OF the
loftiest type. In an eloquent pane

BUYE Rs

There are many unemployed
young Colored men and women that
have within them the capacity for a
great business success, which could be
realized if they would start at the bot
tom and build a business for themsel-
yes.
Mail order advertising and selling
is a field which has been overlooked
by many competent Negro business
men. Mail order concerns spend over
$780, 900 a year for advertising. This
is a field which offers an excellent OPP
~portunity for our people to do business
not only among ourselves and the Ma
tional Negro market, but in all mar
kets.

les and a number of the successful Ne

WHEN THE FARMER PROSPERS

When the farmers of a rural COM
munity prosper SO do the business
men," says the Dairymen's League
News. when a farmer is not pros
porous, goods lie on the shelves and
the village merchant finds business is
very, very dull"
That's one of the reasons why
progressive business men favor the
agricultural cooperative marketing
movement. Moving farm crops on a
business basis means more prosperous
farmers-and that means more pros
porous local and national business and
industry.

THE ONLY WAY

While it is a miserable feeling for
one to have to bear in mind continual
ly hat he is constantly Oh trial, the Ne
gro must realize that he has to win his
way. Nobody will do this for him.
Such has been the history of all OPP
pressed people. The Negro must
make friends of his enemies; and those
Of other races, who are neutral with
respect to the race he must bring a.
round to the liberal point of view.
While others are daily trying to turn
them against us we should be equally
as diligent in combating such efforts.
AS a rule we never think seriously
of losing ground in the social and eco
nomic spheres until the thing has act
ually happened. We r too much
inclined to go through the World like
children playing and never thinking
about the noise they are making until
it has gone to the extent that others
annoyed thereby drive them away. We
90 off then to ourselves, either to a.
buse foes or to express ourselves
v%ociferously in one of our usual where
meet
ings.
There are numerous instances of
Negroes who endeavor to win friends
in other races, but unfortunately the
methods used are productive of more
harm than good. Most of such efforts
are no more than begging, cringing, or
pleading for mercy. Such confessions
of weakness do us much injury.
Others observing us in this attitude
lose whatever respect they have had
for US. Real men will always have
contempt for beggars and towards.
The only way for the Negro to
win the respect of Others is through
real worth. Then, he must not cringe.
He must not cover. He must become
just as clean, just as industrious, just
as thrifty, and just as upright as any
others in the community. He must
not ask for opportunity; he must make
it. He must not beg for liberty; he
must demand it as a mar equal IN
worth to others of the social order.

LABOR'S WORST ENEMY

Is opportunity being closed to the
youth of America? That is the logic
al question that arises when the facts
surrounding many recent labor con-
troversies are investigated.
In an astonishing number of occu-
pations, ranging all the way from semi
skilled to highly skilled labor, union
membership is absolutely essential to
obtaining employment in a "free"
country. The closed shop rules SUI
preme. Furthermore, the CLOSED

gyrlc pronounced upon LOuverture
by Wendell Phillips, that famous orat-
OF placed the name of the Negro in
the niche Of fame above the names of
Napoleon, Cromwell and Washington.
Everyone will not concur in this ex-
travagance, but n must concede that
the famous Haytian was brilliant, wise
gentle, noble, human, honest, upright,
patriotic. At last he fell by perfidy-
the victim of Caucasion treachery.
Phyllis Wheatley was born in the
jungles of Africa. She was kidnap-
ped when a naked little girl only eight
years old and ruthlessly torn from her
native hut in the midst of the birds
and butterflies and blossoms of her
tropic home. She was taken across
the ocean three thousand miles away
to America and sold like a beast at
public auction in the slave market of
the C~aucasians. But the soul and in
spiration of a poet were concealed be-
meath the coal black skin of this Ethio-
plan. When she had been in touch
with civilization only about six years,
that is to say, when she was fourteen
years of age, she began to write vers-
es-remarkable verses. Her Caucas-
ian masters were kind to her and as
sisted her to get an education. Soon
she attracted widespread attention.
At last the white race ON two contin-
ents paid her homage and the most
learned scholars and celebrated writ
ers of the world were forced to ac-
knowledge her a poetess of distinction
and a woman of letters and genius.
Blind Toms Talents
Blind Tom was born sightless and
nearly idiotic. Yet deep in the recess
es of his benighted mind was planted
a most marvellous spark Of genius
genius inherited, perhaps from some
civilized black ancestor who had lived
in the heart of Africa ten thousand
years ago. Without learning or cap
acity to get learning, unable to read
or write and scarcely able to tell his
own name, this remarkable character,
after listening once to the mot diffic-
ult and complicated classical music,
could sit down at the piano and exc
cute the piece as perfectly as the most
accomplished master. He is said to
have memorized five thousand pieces
of music, including many works of the
greatest composers.
How can the phenomenal talents
of these three remarkable characters
be accounted for? Toussaint Low
erture was a military genius. Phyl-
lis Wheatley was a literary marvel.
Blind Tom was a musical prodigy.
Where did these surprising attributes
of civilization come from? How can
they be explained except upon the n.y.
pothesis that these characters were
atavisms leaping back over centuries
and millenniums to an epoch of high
civilization in the lost ages of Africa?

THIRD STRAIGHT WIN PUTS PAPS
 CLOSE TO FLAG
Islanders Go Down 6 to Before Extra Base
 Moose Drives

It's the extra distance that the Moose get on their drives that counts. That was proved last eve ming at Firemen's Park, when the Black Sox, scenting their third straight Gastineau Channel League pennant close at hand, made eight hits count for six runs while their Douglas opponents could total but a single tally from an equal num- Der of safe blows.
 Two of the Moose swats, however, cleared the fence and two others went for two bases. while the Is- flanders gathered only one extra base, on Grants double.
 Kimball, Moose chucker, started wild, handing out a single to An drews and walks to Erskine and Rodgers to cram the paths, but Tur- ner spilled the Island scoring chance by grounding to short.
 Mark Jensen climbed the hill to face the Moose in the last halfs of the first, but lasted through only six batters before Erksine came in from left field to trade spots with him. Haglund opened by flaming, but Fritz Schmitz was hit by a pitch and a walk to McNamee was fol- lowed by Shows double to count Schmitz with the first run of the game.
 Jim Orme then sewed up the fra cas for the Moose with his second homer in as many games, driving across McNamee and Snow to total four runs for the Paps When Wer- her followed up with single, Jen- sen had reached the end of the trail Erskine got the next two batters on flies to leave Werner stranded on first.
 Big Douglas threats followed in every inning until the fourth, when the Islanders finally pushed across their lone score. In the third, double killing eased the situation for the Moose.
 Jensen drew a walk to open the Islanders big inning Niemi famed but Balog moved Jensen up to second on a bunt, from where he crossed the plate on Grants double. McNamee muffed the relay to the plate, letting Grant go to second.

TONIGHT'S GAME All stars vs. Haida.

The Allstars lost last night to the Federals, 5-3, in the scftball game held in Evergreen Bowl This game concluded the games scheduled for the Allstars unless, however, the Haida qualify for entrance into the league by playing nine games in the next week
 Leonard Holmquist scored in the first inning on a long hit by Harry Sperling and the Allstars went out one, two, three. In the second frame, John Krugness started with a hard one to the outfield. This started a rally that scored Krug- ness, George White and Gilbert Prucha. Not to be outdone, the Allstars came right back with two scores by Tom Hall and Ned Rowe. The second ended with the score Az in favor of Uncle Sam.
 In the third fourth, and fifth innings both sides were held score less. L. E. Iverson scored for the Feds in the sixth. and Manager Miller scored for the Stars. But that was all, and the ball game ended in the seventh with the youngsters on the short end of a 5-3 score.
 Pitcher Holmquist for the Fed erals allowed only three hits with his teammates making six errors. Seven hits were allowed under the combined pitching of Tom Powers and Charles Notar with eight errors

A single moved him to third, out there he fingered While Andrews went down.
 Two opening singles, by Erskine and Rodgers, plus Jensens sacri- flee, gave the Islanders their final scoring shot in the first of the fifth, but again they were cut off, and the game was over as far as they were concerned.
 An error on McNamee's drive to second set up another Moose tally in the last of the fifth when Wer- ner and Grummett followed up with singles. In that same session Jen- sen made a beautiful diving catch on Orme's foul fly.
 Haglunds homer counted the final Pap marker in the last of tlle sixth. Fritz Schmitz backed it up with double, but got no further than third where he was hurt and gave over his running chores to Converse. Before Converse could come home McNamee and Snow flied out to end the frame

 Their win last evening put the Moose within one game of the'l third league title in as many sea- sons, and they figure to clinch the flag tonight when they go against the Islanders again in the fifth game of the Little World Series
 With Erskine on the shelf after his workout last evening, the Is- flanders will have to choose their hurler between Jensen and Turner Turner worked eight innings Sun- day and is not quite ready to go again. The Moose are looking to Joe McNamee to pitch them into the flag, but will be short catcher with Kelly Blake not yet returned and the big slugger on the mound.

RELIEF PROBLEM
 IS ACUTE IN BB
Emergency Squad Is Gen. orally Always Ready
 to Be of Assistance

NEW YORK, Aug 23 - One Of baseballs axioms says a pennant- winning team must have a crack re- lief hurler
 : That's about as true as the requi- site of strength on the catcher second base-center field axis.
 And the front-running teams of both major leagues are up there partly because they have competent trouble shooters = stout hearted, strong guys who march in from the bull pen to sjem uprisings against starting hurlers.
 The Yankees bank on Johnny Murphy When the cannonading begins the Pirates yelp for Mace Brown. Bill Terry of the Giants thumbs Dick Coffman to the mound when opposing batters get fresh with the offerings Of Hubbell or Melton or Schumacher. And the h. dians rely largely on Rookie Johnny Humphries.
 That quartet, along with the vet eran Charley Root of the Chicago Cubs and Pete Appleton of Wash jngton, has enjoyed most success among the relief twirlers this sea- son.
 Let's take a look at these aces of the succor squad:
 Mace Stanley Brown of the Pi- rates-As the pennant races ap- preached the August stretch he'd won 12 games saved several others and lost three. His record was 50 good Terry used him in the All-Star game. He's feet 1, weighs 190 pounds, 28 years old. He has been coming to the aid of Pittsburgh pitchers for three seasons.
 John Joseph Murphy of the Yan- kees-With the season more than half finished, Irish Johnny had not been beaten, boasted a so record. In addition to his half dozen tri- umphs, Murphy has saved 10 games for such aces as Lefty Gomez and Charles Ruffing. Johnny is 6 feet ?, 1e4 pounds, 30 years old. This is his fifth campaign as a reliefman His major league records shows 52 victories as against 22 setbacks. Joe Mccarthy figures he is too good a trouble-shooter to be given starting assignments.
 John William Humphries of the Indians = He's a rookie who has won six and lost two He is 6 feet ?. l85 pounds, g years old. He was the only Southern association pitcher to win 20 games last year. He pitched a no-hit game for New Orleans and in his next time out hurled one-hitter.
 Samuel Richard Coffman of the Giants-Dick came to the Giants after bouncing around the Ameri- can league for many seasons. He is feet l. ITO pounds, g years old. He won eight and lost three for the Giants last year. His record for the first half of this season is four vic tories and one defeat. He's saved eight games.
 And there's not southpaw among these leading relief artists. They're all right handlers.
