ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4 amp. "A fed
eral grand jury sitting at East st.
Louis this week returned indict-
ments against two leaders Of the
Pacific movement, an alleged Jap
anese sponsored organization,
charging them wit hconspiracy to
violate the wartime sedition stat
ute and hamper the selective serv.
ice law. The Organization and a
Japanese referred to only as John
Doe were also named.
Indictment OF the two Negroes
marks the fourth time a federal
jury has lodged similar charges a.
gainst Negroes. Recently several
Negroes were indicted and convict
ed in New York of sedition. A
New Orleans jury has also indicted
a group of colored persons for
draft evasion but they have MOI
been brought to trial. In Chicago
q trial Of several Negroes is in
progress after action by a federal
grand jury.
The two leaders who were i'm
mediately taken into custody are
David d. Erwin. a cook, and Gen

Erwin said he is a bishop" Of

BY ALVIN E. WHITE)

Washington, Feb. 3 amp. In a
special research report by the a.
merican Management association.
the question OF the Negro worker
has been thoroughly analyzed by
personnel directors and manage
ment experts, with a view toward
the employment and Indignation of
the Negro in industry. Privately
printed and circulated, the report
is a frank and open discussion in
volving questions which have baf-
fled many government agencies.
Arriving at a 10 point summary,
the ANA finds that there should
be mutual cooperation between
employe and employer. The re-
port points out that Negroes can
and have been trained for occupa-
tons requiring all levels of skill.
as the lists of jobs on which col
ored men and women are now
working indicate; the program Of
Negro indignation requires, first, q
firm declaration of company pol
icy; Personnel managers now know
there is as much danger in not
dealing with the problem of the
Negro worker as there is in deal
ing with it ineptly; both the ClO
and the AFL are officially commit
tied to the policy of non-discrimin-
alton; successful indignation Of
colored workers is predicted on q
planned program Of selection, in
duction, training and upgrading;
intelligent use Of the service Of
federal, state and local agencies as
a source of selected Negro apple
ants and strategic placement Of
colored manpower in the plant will
yield a substantial dollars and
cents return to industry.
Many questions are raised BY
white employers among which are
the following; Is the Negro as in
telligent as the white? Does he
respond as readily to training
Does the Negro produce as much
as the white worker on a similar
job? Does the attendance record
Of the Negro compare f~avorably
with that Of the white? Is the
Negro financially as responsible as
the white? How does the Negro
compare with the white in the
matter Of health? Is he more
pront to specific diseases? Is seq
regation necessary where the N
gro and the white are working TO-
gether? Is the Negro more prone
to accidents than the white?
In many of these questions. the
answers come only through actual
working and determining just how
Negroes compare with white work
ers under similar circumstances.
Pointing out the limitations in
training for Negroes in some sou.
thern states the report indicates
there is now a considerable res
ervoir Of skilled Negro labor. only

It is estimated that 5,38s. 900 coior

groes made UP 1O.7 percent of the
work force of the country. Of the
total Of unemployed at that time,
Negroes constituted 1875 percent.
IN June. 1912. the bureau Of EN-
pigment security Indicated that
lover 500. 900 Negroes who should
be utilized for war production are
now idle because of the discrimin-
atory hiring practices of war III
d~ustries."
The report continues, yet some
significant changes are rejecting
over their status a decade ago.. In
1880, there were 1862, 1893 Negro
males 10 years of age and over,
gainfully employed. Of this num-
Der, 1892, 555 were classified as
agricultural workers; 123,S9S as
general laborers; 1O9 $50 as serv-
ants; 1OS PAL as chauffeurs, truck
and tractor drivers. 93,714 as por-
tiers Except in stores and 1882 as
janitors and sections. Relatively
smaller numbers e laborers,
porters and helpers in stores, work
ing in laundries, in cigar and to-
bacco factories and in cleaning,
/ dyeing and pressing shops. Still
! others were working as BARRIERS
and coal miners.
Making a stra1g plea for Negro
women, the survey states; "Since
the draft draws no color line and
since large numbers Of colored
men have enlisted in the armed
forces, the Negro woman as an III
] dustrial worker must come in for
an increasing share Of attention.
"Traditionally, the Negro woman
has been identified with personal
and domestic service as maid se~-
want, cook and laundress. She has
long been an agricultural worker.
Her participation in the manufact-
uring and mechanical industries
has been very limited. Her az
vent into the profession and into
clerical work is even more limited

THE AIM OF
RELIGION
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffith

Anybody making study of the
various leading religions of the
world will discover most interest
ing fact. They all have the same
common aim.
Although they may express it in
many different ways, to be with
God and to be like Him is indeed
the ultimate goal of all true re-
ligion.
Jesus revealed His possession of
this highest mystic relationship
when He exclaimed: Thou, Father,
art in me and 1 in Thee"
A thirst for such a harmonious
and happy fellowship and unbroken
union with the Spirit of God has
characterized the lives of spiritual
leaders. Exclaimed the Psalmist:
AS the heart panteth after the
waterbrooks, so panteth my soul
after Thee, o God" And Angus
tine declared: Our heart is rest
less unless it repose in Thee"
To reach religions ultimate goal.
you must first learn what God is
like and then strive to be like Him
The Scriptures tell us that God is
love. To reach religions highest
achievement we must therefore
strive for love.
But alas, how far away from
such. a high achievement do we dis
cover ourselves to be when we look
into our hearts and find there so
many resentments against those
who have done us wrong. Yes,
there is perhaps there even bitter
ness, malice and hatred.
Yet that is just what religion is
for-to lift us out of hatred into
love, out of human nature into Di-
vine nature, out of pagan living
Into Christlike living.
Give religion a chance to work
its Transforming influence upon
you. 1t can so change your view
point, your outlook, your reactions,
your daily habits, in fact your
whole personality, that you can be-
come person after Gods own
heart.
He reaches religions highest goal
who walks with the God of love and
loves all that God loves.
