LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1. (ANP) !
colored citizens are highly
gratified at the sight of men and
women Of the race operating as
conductors and. conductorettes on
the cars of the Los Angeles Street
Railway Co. To date there are SO
men and Is women who have COM
pleted training under the supervis-
ion of veteran white trainmen and
have been assigned regular runs.
It is noticeable fact that con-
trary to the expectations of ms
citizens they are no being limited to
the "U," 3d." "V," 49," and other
lines most heavily Travelled by
Negroes and traversing the heavily
populated Negro districts, but are
also on various other lines. In fact
the majority of them were trained
from car barns in the far westside
and other sections of the city where
few if any colored residents are
located.
Although direct action by the
FEPC during it's special meeting
and hearings held here last sum
mer finally broke down the racial
bars that had been in existence
ever since the railway was estab-
lished, the coasts most militant
civic leader, the Rev. Clayton D
Russell, had spurred citizens anc
city officials into a demand for 8
showdown. Just year ago at {
capacity mass meeting at his Inde

pendent Church of Christ, he called
for so volunteers who would meet
at the main office of the railway
company and fill out applications
for jobs. In a few minutes double
the number signed with the COM
mittee and reported at the big
Broadway building, all filling out
applications. The news of this
peaceful march" spread throughout
the state and lined up hundreds of
whites on the side of their colored
fellow Americans whose employ
ment would alleviate the inadequate
traffic conditions.
Over the radio and from his pull
pit Rev. Russell now adjures the
colored travelling public to be toll
Grant with inexperienced employees
of all races, and cautions the col
ored workers in the newly opened
jobs to do better than just we'll, sc
their efficiency will keep them il

They petitioned, conspired and re-
voted in the very spirit of indie
pendence and freedom which the
oppressors had employed for them
selves. Their efforts were supple
mented by liberal minded white
Americans. They organized the
struggle for full citizenship not
only by themselves but also in CO.
operation with other Americans.
They urged and sought the inte-
grafton of themselves into the main
stream of freedom rather than to
continue as small segregated ed
dies near the shore.
However, separate abolition So
cieties with Negro membership con-
tinued to exist and hold meetings
in Boston, Nantucket, New Bed
ford Salem, Lynn. Negroes were
also chosen as officers of anti
slavery societies and were placed
on the Board of Managers of the
American Anti-Slavery Society. A
Massachusetts Negro citizen was
one of the sixty-two signers of the
Declaration of Sentiments of this
national organization. Another Ne

BOSTON, Nov. 4-Dr. Charles
H. Wesley, president Of Wilber-
force University, in an addres be-
fore the annual meeting of the AS
sociation for the Study of Negro
and History, at Fanueil Hall, here,
outlined the struggle Of the Negro
for full citizenship.
A summary of DR.. Wesley's ad-
dres follows:
Massachusetts and the City of
Boston in particular have been re-
ferred to often as the birthplace
of American f r e d O m. Historic
milestones mark the onward march
of liberty in this state. If the Ne
gro could be expected to be regard
ed as citizen it would have been
in the section in which the echoes
of freedom were sounded the loud
est by tongue, pen and arms.
'In spite of the tradition of free
dom, distinctions based upon law
and custom affected the status of
Negro citizens and limited their ad-
vancement. They faced limitations
upon their freedom to worship, to
work, to learn, and to mingle social
ly with their fellows. They were
generally discounted by their fel-
low citizens as interiors, but they
did not willingly accept this status.

Dunbar team was white washed
here last night 26-0 by the Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, team, the same out
fit which Dunbar subdued at home
three weeks ago 1914.
Dunbar's team arrived in Lexing-
ton only three hours before game
time and being tired, they could
not put forth their best efforts.
Some of the boys stood on a
crowded bus all the way.
Only twice did the Dayton team
get through the ten yard of their
opponents. Upton was injured on
the third play Of the game and had
to leave the playing field.

Wlbertorce Prexy Cites Negroes Struggle For Freedom

Negro leaders served as anti-slav-
cry lecturers and as agents of the
Underground Railroad. N o t a b ! e
among these were Frederick Doug
lass, William Wells Brown and
Charles L. Remond.
They marched with the leadership
and in the ranks of the advocates
of American freedom.
1.-TWO important struggles, one in
Education and the other in Military
Service, were waged by Negro citi-
zens. At first they sought and ac-
cepted separate schools in Boston
and then undertook a magnificent
effort to abolish these. With the
help of the Friends of Freedom an
Act was passed in 1856 abolishing
opening the schools of Massachu-
setts to all persons irrespective OF
their race, creed or color. They pro-
tested their exclusion from military
service and in a convention declared
that they were American citizens
by birth and were entitled to the
privileges and the duties of such
citizens. Active campaigns were
waged for this purpose and with
the opening of the Civil War, under
the administration of Governor
John A. Andrew, the Fifty-fourth
Regiment and the Fifth Cavalry

were organized, and other Negroes
were accepted in the Navy. When
the government attempted to pay
these colored soldiers at less rate
than the regular American army,
the soldiers not only protested but
declined to receive their pay. This
courageous attitude on their part
won friends for them and led ulti-
mately to the grant of the same
pay to all soldiers who served the
State and the Nation.
again we are in a war for free
dom. This nation seems also to be
the birthplace Of the modern con-
cepts of freedom, as we know them
the Four Freedoms-and yet in
this birthplace of freedom, from
which we carry on the struggle to
bring freedom to the rest of the
world, there are those among us
who are unfree. This phase of his
tory in Massachusetts, shows clear
ly that freedom has to be striven
for, struggled for, paid for, fought
for and that we must work togeth-
er for it both in the birthplace Of
freedom and elsewhere in the world.
AS paradoxial as this may appear,
it is the pathway which is open for
us to follow, and courageously let
us, with manly and womanly cour-
age, follow it,

IS Demobilization
Ceniers Are SET Up

Tied in with the Army's plans for
gradual rehabilitation after the fall
OF Germany, the War Department
today designated l8 military posts
In the United States as personnel
centers for the discharge and proc
essing OF Army personnel.
The centers, located according to
population densities and areas, are:
Fort Devens, Mass; Fort Dix, N.
j.; Fort George G. Meade, Nd;
Fort Bragg, N. c.; Fort Mcpherson,
Ca; Camp Shelby, Miss; Camp At
terbury, Ind; Fort Sheridan, H.;
Fort Smelling, Minn.; Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-; Fort Leavenworth,
Kans.; Fort Logan, Colo; Camp
Chaffee. Ark: Fort Sam Houston,
Tex; Fort Bliss, Tex; Preside
of Monterey. Calf; Fort Douglas,
Utah; and Fort Lewis. Wash.
This will permit three important
procedures In the Army mans life
induction, return from overseas and
discharge-to take place relatively
close to his home" the announce
ment said.
Each center will include a center
for processing newly men;
a reception station for personnel
returned from overseas. and a sep
aration center for processing men
being discharged or released from
active service.
Economical use of housing and
transportion has been made pos
sible by the 18 locations, and it was
predicted that the discharge proc
ess could thus be speeded up.
1t. Gen. Brehon Somervell will
have overall responsibility for the
centers. which will be operated by
each OF the commanding generals Of
the nine service commands.
