ban League board, and some 20 or
more members of the auxiliary
were ready when the signal to start
was given. Many of the ladies car
ried writing pads to take note of
their observation. Mr.. A. J. Peter
SON of the bakery force led the
group of sightseefs and gave pains
taking explanations of the things
shown.
One of the surprising things we
first noted was the comparatively
small number Of the working force.
We found later that men who drive
the wagons, clerks who do the Of
fee work, the men and women who
do the actual bakery work number
all together less than $50 people,
a surprising thing indeed when one
considers the amount of the prod
uct turned out, a tribute to the
modern method of doing things.
We began and followed through
the process Of making bread and
rolls.
Great trOughs of dough are made
up ready to be turned into loaves
and rolls, much like the housewife
does, only the time it takes is so
much shorter. From this depart
ment we went to the next follow
ing the dough as it was made up
into rolls and loaYes of bread. It
was at this point that our attention
was first attracted to the simple
ness yet the real effectiveness of
the machinery in use. The work
ers had little to do other than to
see that the dough was placed in
the proper division after which the
machinery did the rest, cutting the
dough into proper sizes. 1t was
then placed into the proper pans
ready for baking, then put into the
oven.
Here began the great and visible
difference between the housewives
baking and the bakeries.
The raw dough was placed in one
end of the long oven and mecham-
cally passed through its great
length, dropping out the other end
of the oven a completely-baked
loaf of bread or pan of rolls. This
we thought the most surprising
thing in the whole process. The
raw dough placed in the oven in
one end, coming out the other end
a beautifully Drowned, full sized
loaf of bread. 1t was simply mar
velous!
Then we saw the bread and rolls,

on the platform, placed in the wag-

over the city. We saw how the
doughnuts were made and baked.
Again we were made to wonder, for
a single workman made up the
dough, after which the baking be-
comes simply matter of follow
ing through by the machinery.
After this we were invited to eat
as much of the delicious doughnuts
as we cared for and we all did full
justice TO the succulent fare.

Here
and
There
By w. M. Smith

The Minneapolis Urban Leagues
Auxiliary paid visit last week to
the Zinsmaster Bakery Co.'s plant
at Park and Twenty-ninth in Min
neapolis.
The bakery is a beautifully mod
ern place, first-class office space,
work rooms as clean and comfort
able as work rooms can be and the
product which it turns out is as fine
and clean and as desirable as the
most fastidious person could ask
for.
In fact, this modern bakery has
everything the auxiliary could ask
save some colored workers, and in
cidentally the ladies of the auxil-
larry wanted to find out, among 9TH
er things, why this very desirable
business place has no colored en-
ployes.
Certainly the colored people of
this area eat plenty of the fine
product of this desirable bake shop
and our women were anxious to
discover what our people lack in
appreciation of its product, or of
the necessary skill in producing it
that would justify their being on
the outside looking in.
They found, of course, absolute
ly nothing to justify such a candi-
ton. Do we buy and eat bread,
rolls and cakes? We certainly do.
Can we make them as we saw dem
onstrated that day? We most GER
tainly can.
There is nothing then to keep
colored workers out of these very
desirable work rooms save the fact
that we are not included in the
work force employed there now
and won't be until we can convince
the management there is no good
reason why we should not be and
many reasons why we should be.
It's challenge you may be sure
our women are going to accept.

Harry G. Benton
Endorsed By Dick
Sessions & Others

The candidacy of Harry G. Ben
ton for the Board of Estimate and
Taxation was heartily endorsed by
a group of young Minneapolis vot-
ers headed by Richard Sessions,
3641 Clinton Ave.
Mr.. Benton, president Of the
Minneapolis Property Owners As
ISOLATION, is familiar with the city's
tax problems. For over 80 years
he has been active in helping solve
taxation difficulties. For % years
he was assistant city clerk. He has
a large number of friends among
the colored people of the city.
He resides at 2517 Blaisdell Ave.
Mr.. Sessions and others interested
in his candidacy urged the voters
to cast their ballots for him for
election to the Estimate Board on
June IL.

and movements.
But even these techniques are
not new to American Negroes.
They were fighting for economic,
political, and civic rights long be-
fore the Communist Party existed.
The effectiveness with which Ne
gro organizations have successfully
modified money and numbers be-
hind the defense of the Houston
Martyrs, the Elaine Rioters" DIR.
Sweet of Detroit, the Federal anti
lynching bill, and the campaign for
educational equality indicates that
they are not novices. They fought
on the barbados in East st. Louis,
Chicago, Springfield, Washington,
D. c., Longview, and Tulsa. The
speeches and writings of post-C Civil
War Negro labor leaders indicate
that they were then as familiar
with the class struggle as are COM
munists.
Even the slim claim that COM
munist agitation has increased the
Negroes militancy is untenabIe.
This would discount the influence
of the 200 Negro newspapers and
magazines with their 100000
weekly circulation, the virtual dis
appearance of illiteracy, and the
NAACP, with its 400 branches
functioning since 1909. Being a
canny fellow, the Negro is militant
when there is hope of success.
Otherwise he bides his time. There
may come a day when he will go
Red, but that will never happen un-
til he first sees white Americans
waving the Red flag and learns
that Marxism is, at last, really
popular. Right now it's enough
trouble being black without going
Red.

Nova Scotia that takes care of all
the expenses Of the church by rails
ing mushrooms. Probably the Ne
gro churches Of Minneapolis and
st. Paul could coordinate their or
CARNATIONS say into cooperative
enterprise of some kind, be it a
store or an oil station, so as to
make enough to take care of all
the expenses incurred by the
church. Since many small bust
nesses are now in monopohstic
combines, churches Of tomorrow
must have a local centralized work
ing organization just as other bust
nesses have.
After an effective organization is
set up, then they must set about to
improve the physical environment.
Church building should be well in
sulated so the proper temperature
could be assured the year round,
should be steam heated instead of
having smoky stoves, cushioned
seats just as seats in theaters, and
should be equipped with motion
picture machines SO that religious
pictures could be shown.
There must be a complete revo-
luton in the philosophy, organiza-
ton, and physical environment of
future churches if they hope to sur
vive in a competitive world.

TOMORROW'S CHURCHES

Editor: If churches in 1915 ex-
pect to have a reasonable attend
ance, changes must be made in
their organization, philosophy, and
physical environment.
Many of the ministers of today
to whom talk tell me that one of
their greatest worries is that of
attendance. Others say that the
church must engage itself into
many commercial activities, such
as ticket selling for social func-
lions, chicken fries and other
things which are not always con-
ducive to good church conduct.
Many other ministers are so busy
begging to keep up the expenses,
such as buying coal and, paying
himself a low wage, attending the
sick, burying the dead, and marry
ing folks that little or no time is
left for him to study and plan a
real spiritual program for the
church. The future churches must
change their philosophy as to what
the duty of a minister is. If he is
to be of better service, then he
must have more time of his own.
Begging to defray the expenses is
probably one of the most embar-
RAISING experiences the ministers
have.
There is a church located in
