Bishop Babcock, consecrator of the

President of the Board of Trustees and
has been since the founding of Rest

the purposes and aims of its founders
Edgar P. Benjamin, Esq, and the
guiding hand of the board of trustees
to ever increase usefulness and service
of Resthaven to the public.
Mrs. Frencis G. Wilson, president of

the members to the numerous friends
present. As each one had given to the
earnest endeavor of the club to benefit
Resthaven.
Rev. Leroy Ferguson read a short
account of the life of the late Eliza P.
Benjamin whose burial service was read
at ST. Cyprian's Church.
Mr.. Benjamin described the beauty
of the chapel, its appropriate furnish
ings and the amazing labor of love of
the Club Matrons in attending to the
most minute detail. He concluded by
saying. 81 did not dream that such
beautiful chapel as we have Just con
.secrated would be given.
There were few dry eyes as the bur
den of the memorial occasion almost
completely overcame Mr.. Benjamin, the
donor of Resthaven.
The members of the Resthaven Club,

Five years later another dark face
comes on the scene of American strug-
gle for liberty. This young man is
Peter Salem, another slave in Framing
ham who would be free, and walked
away from his master and fought at
the battles Of Concord and Lexington.
and of Bunker Hill. He was conspicu-
GUS with his rife in the running fight
of the former battle.
He was the hero of Bunker Hill.
when the hearts of the Americans were
sinking with the prospect of rout and
defeat before them, after hard nights
work fortifying Breeds Hill. It was a
desperate battle between the Red Coats
and the Patriots, the latter fighting
like Trojans. When their powder was
exhausted they fought the enemy hand
to hand with clubs. Peter Salem who
had been one of the desperate fighters
was on the alert when Major Pitcairn
mounted the parapet now certain of
victory, of which he boosted. Powder
had run out, but he had just one round
left, and as Major Pitcairn leaped to
his position Peter Salem let 90 his
round of ammunition and shot the Bri-
fisher, MORALLY wounding him, check
ing the British jubilation. In the ranks
with him was Salem Poor who fought
like tiger. In fact, he fought so gal
lantly and so well that a petition to the
general court was made for recognition
of his bravery and signed by the prin-
cipal officers. Not these two alone are
mentioned conspicuously in that battle,
but other colored men, among them
Alexander Ames, Cato Howe, Seymour
Burr and Titus Coburn. And yet an
other-the ffer and drummer, Barzilla
Lew, who kept up the courage of the
soldiers by his playing of Yankee Doc
die. In fact Barzilla Lew played in
many battles of the Revolution, and
today his descendants in Boston and
other cities in Massachusetts are hon
ored citizens in the community. In this
battle, Samuel Lawrence a prominent
white citizen Of Groton, Mass, led a
company of colored men.
The spirit of '76 was rife in rs and
colored patriots and heroes in both
North and South played their part in
the leading up to the Declaration of
Independence. This is never to be
forgotten fact-the spirit of '76 was
not created by the foment of white pa
triots alone. It was the shedding of
blood by all oppressed Americans: it
was the agitation of and determination
of all Americans to get the rights
denied them that led up to the Declara-
ton of Independence, which meant a
complete overthrow of the English rule.
ITO be continued next week.

COLORED PIONEERS OF
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
STORY OF AFROAMERIcANs WHO HELPED BRING ABOUT THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THEN MADE IT SECURE
AND PERMANENT ~
3y LILLIAN LEWIS FEURTADO

By LILLIAN LEWIS FEURTADO
From pamphlet written for National
Equal Rights League. For several
years after the Boston Massacre March
was the national holiday, till replaced
by July T.
From that moment the colored SOL
der became a part of the American
nation, and played his part in every
strike for freedom and equality that
this country has known. From what
moment? From the moment Crispus
Attucks fell dead, shot by British Red
Coat, on King St., now State St., Bos-
ton. The story of Crispus Attucks
should be household one, how he be-
came "the principal character in that
bloody affair" of March 5, ITO. All
the evening there had been clashes be-
tween the British soldiers and the pa
triots, the soldiers having been sta
toned In Boston to COW and insult the
Americans. These annoyances increased
as the evening wore on and at nine
o'clock sticks we're brandished, epithets
were exchanged and as the crowd in
creased at Dock Square and King St.
the bells rang out. People rushed from
everywhere and soon there was a big
crowd at the head of King st. Captain
Preston's soldiers were threatening to
fire and brandishing their arms, the
Americans were daring them to fire and
the soldiers thought they heard the
order to fire, for suddenly a volley of
shot rang out, and Crispus Attucks who
led the crowd to this spot, was shot
dead. The first blood was split, the
blood of a colored man who would not
be a slave. This was the first martyr
to die for liberty and equality in Amer
lea, for the Independence of the Amer
lean Colonies soon to be declared. He
was real patriot and proved his be-
lief in freedom and equality. He
proved it when the fires of manhood
and equality, "a living proof of the
indisputable fact that all men are Great
ed equaD shot into fame, and he asked
no leave of his master to be free but
walked away, or ran away as thew say,
to take his place as man among other
men and patriots, and came to Boston
from birmingham and joined in the
affairs and events of the men of Boston.
With Crispus Attucks there fell that
day Samuel Gray, Jonas Caldwell,
Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr.
The first two were killed and the last
two MORALLY wounded. They are all
buried in one grave, in the Old Gran
airy Burying Ground in Boston. Every
year there are anniversary observances
Of the death of these martyrs at the
grave, and a wreath is hung through the
National Equal Rights League.

the $500 Grand Prize for the capture
of Big Butch himself while Mrs.

Forthcoming marriage. :. From Indi-

NCOnIlnueo from rage ~
down in the U. S. courts at Chicago and
Dallas, Texas. The Chicago court has
ruled that a representative suit can be
filed in behalf of employees in confor-
nifty with Section Is (b) of the Fair
Labor Standards Act, and that the en-
ployees have the right to designate rep
resentatives to file in their behalf. The
Dallas court has ruled that tips do not
constitute wages.
The court ordered the payment of
back wages, and recently denied a mo-
ton of the railroad company for a new
trial.
Recently a dual A. F. of L. "splin-
ter" organization of red caps in Phila-
delphia, headed by A. c. McGhee, an
expelled vice president of the UHSEA,
filed an independent suit. The court
set this case aside in order that the
legal way may be cleared for the larger
and more representative suit of the
UTSEA.
