Start Christmas
Savings for 1913
With Credit Union

The Associated Negro Credit
Union is offering a new service to
its members this year through a
Christmas Savings plan. This SER
vice is an accommodation to those
who wish to put aside a certain
amount to be useo for holiday sea-
son expenditures and do not wish
to disturb their regular savings ac-
counts.
In their effort to encourage thrift,
officers of the Credit Union hope
that members will avail themselves
of the convenience of saving
small amount each week and at the
end of the year having a stable
sum to spend without going in debt
or breaking into savings intended
for rainy day.
For further information call
Clarence Smith, RE. 6631, Mime
apolis, or Earl S. Weber, CE. 51O4

Senate Guards Brandish
Guns on N. Y. Ministers
Who Sought Bill Passage

went on his way without further
comment. Apparently, Capper's in
structions had some effect, because
the police official after Brown left,
took Powell upstairs on a private
elevator - but his memory was
either bad or his eyesight worse,
because, according to Powell:
MISTAKEN IDENTITY
"He didn't seem to recall who l
was; apparently he thought 1 was
white because he told me, You
know Negroes are very excitable
nowadays; we had to be careful.
He also stated that the Washing
ton chief of police had received a
telephone call from the chief of
police in N. Y. relaying the infor-
nation that about Is thugs and
strikebreakers led by a guy named
Powell were coming to Washington
to cause riot. When I told him l
was Powell, he turned red, and
when told who the thugs and
'strikebreakers' were, he turned
redder."
That bit of lesson in discretion
mellowed the fellow somewhat, be-
cause he said the police would get
seats for anyone Powell picked out
of the crowd-even though the
group had been told all along that
the Senate galleries were packed.
SEARCHED FOR LIQUOR
Before entering the gallery men,
bers of the group were subjected
to the usual search. One Washing
ton clergyman was asked to check
his guns and ordered, if he had
any liquor, to turn it over to the
searchers! When a younger man
retorted sharply to a query as to
whether or not he had a gun in
his trousers, one of the searchers
quipped, THAT'S what's the trouble
with you Negroes - you're too
damn SMART"
The only white member of the
delegation, a woman, was told BY
the police, Don't go in with them;
they're by themselves" She ignored
the order. A section of the Senate
gallery was cleared of whites sit
ting in it, all of whom were sent
- another allsEiite section, Ieav-
ing the delegation in lone jimcrow
exclusiveness.
After the vote on the bill was
taken, the group left, but about Is
or 20 gathered in the alcove of an
outside corridor. They were told
by young policeman to move "out
of the way"
POLICE DRAW GUNS
Powell: "When we said we quite
obviously weren't in the way, an
other policeman Joined him. Both
of them barred their guns, and re-
peated the order to get out right
away"

they with other Negro sergeants
made recommendations to curb dis
criminatory practices in and about
army camps.
Letters of protest were ordered
written and sent to President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War
Henry Stimspn by the Executive
Board of the St. Paul Branch of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in
a meeting called by Rev. B. N.
Moore, the retiring president of the
St. Paul Branch, in the Halle @.
Brown House last Saturday night.
Letters were also sent to the Min
nesota United States Senators Hen
rik Shipstead, Joseph Ball and the
short term senator, Arthur E. Mel
son, Representative Melvin ]. Mas
and the other eight Minnesota Rep
resentatives in Washington. These
senators and representatives were
urged to ask for a congressional in
vestigation of the Camp Lee Incl
dent and other cases of discrimina-
ton and ill-treatment of Negro SOL
diers in the army camps through
out the nation.
The Camp Lee incident was dis
cussed in the meeting of the Min
neapolis Branch of the N. A. A.
c. P. Sunday afternoon in the
Phyllis Wheatley House, and a
committee appointed to meet with
a similar committee from the St.
Paul Branch to make plans for joint
action in the matter by the two
branches. These committees met
on Monday at the Halle Q. Brown
House, st. Paul, and a co-ordinating
committee to be called the "Sam
Reed Committee" was organized.
Officers of the Sam Reed Commit
tee are, chairman, Rev. Clarence
T. R. Nelson, who was recently
elected president of the st. Paul
Branch; vice-chairman, Atty. R. A.
Skinner, president of the Mime
apols Branch; secretary, Miss
Erma Clardy, secretary of the Min
neapois Branch. 1t was agreed in
the committee meeting that the
Camp Lee incident should be made
national issue, because it SYM
bolizes the ill-treatment of Negroes
in the armed forces of the nation,
especially in the Army.
Individuals and organizations
are urged to send letters and tele-
grams of protest to President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Henry
Stimson and to various members
of the United States Congress. A
call was made to New York to talk
with Walter White, the executive
secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr..
