Will you please advise me if this is agreeable to you and if you can serve on that committee? As soon as I get the acceptance of the different members of the commit tee I will call them together, so that they can take the necessary prelimi nary steps. I trust you will favor us by indi cating your willingness to serve on that committee. With kind regards, I am yours very truly, ED P. SMITH, Mayor. ILLITERACY BREEDS RUSSIAN BOLSHEVISM —Louis B. Moore (By the Associated Negro Press.) Louisville, Ky., May 23.—Illiterarcy among both races in the United States is a constant invitation o bolshevism, according to Dean L. B. Moore of Howard university, Washington, D. C., in an address before the Negro Educa tional association of Kentucky. “There are 5,000,000 adults of both races in the United States that can neither read nor write,” said Dr. Moore. “Ignorance like this is the cause of sectional and racial feeling and constant law-breaking. No one can understand a law who cannot read it.” CARUSO SINGS TO MORRIS BROWN STUDENTS (By the Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., May 23.—The people, of this community are still comment ing on the recent visit of Enrico Ca ruso, the great Italian tenor, who went to Moms Brown college to hear the wonderful folksong singing. With him was Mrs. Caruso. After he had lis tened to several selections a request was made for him to sing and he re sponded with several numbers. OKLAHOMA GIVES RECOGNITION TO NEGRO (By the Associated Negro Press.) Oklahoma, Okla., May 23.—A great step in "political preferment” was made here when the city commission ers confirmed the appointment of W. 1). Fuller as a member of the police force. He is the first ever appointed in this city. His appointment came after a spirited protest from one com missioner. KANSAS GOVERNOR AGAIN SPEAKS OUT AGAINST WRONG (By the Associated Negro Press.) New' York, May 23.—Governor Allen of Kansas, in this city, attending the National Conference on Lynching, gave out an interview in which he bit terly denounced the crime and spoke out boldly in favor of giving justice to the race. The Elite Whist club met Wednes day with Mrs. Foster, 2527 Erskine street. Mrs. Watson scored highest and was awarded first prize. EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK WILL SOLVE THE INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., May 23.—The in vestigation and inspection service of the Department of Labor has issued a statement reporting an encouraging industrial equality in some sections of the country between white and Negro workers. This report, coming after the publi cation of the labor plank of the League of Nations, is considered of more than ordinary interest, because the labor department and average em ployers know only too well that “much of the race prejudice in the United States has been due to the refusal to grant the Negro workman industrial equality and equal wages for equal work,” says the Christian Science Monitor. Concerning a specific instance in Ohio, employing over 200 Negroes per manently, over 30 per cent having been with the company five years or more, the vice president showed that Negroes and whites are on absolutely equal footing in both the skilled and unskilled occupations, and that no marked difference between them in either the skilled or unskilled occupa tions has resulted. These industrial workers are rated as individuals, re gardless of color, to such an extent that no regular records are kept which separate the races in different classes.” In answer to the question as to the propensity of the Negro to “lay off when in funds” the manager of the above firm stated: “The ‘casual labor er,’ white or black, is apt to show this tendency.” WHEN IS A NEGRO NOT A NEGRO (By the Associated Negro Press.) Boston, May 23.—J. Y. Youngblood, white, has called attention in several ways that the recent occurrence here during a recent parade was not caused by “Negroes” but by “black Portu guese.” In a statement he says: “The Portuguese in America have nothing in common with the American Negro, ! except his complexion, just as the Hindu, Turk, Filipino and other Asiatic peoples. They are far removed from the trend of events and of ideas of the Colored people as they are from the whites. They live in their particu lar sections. Their customs of living are different. They do not claim them selves to be Negroes; neither do white people claim them to be Negroes, only when they commit a crime.” — DENTAL ASSOCIATION TO H O L D MEETING (By the Associated Negro Press.) .Richmond, Va., May 22.—The sixth annual session of the Interstate Den tal association will be held at the Bay Shore hotel, Buckioe Beach, Va., July 9-11. This organization is doing great work in behalf of the profession and ! has a membership in thirteen states ' and the District of Columbia. Dr. C. A. Dunston, Raleigh, N. C., is presi dent, and Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, 527 ! North Second street, Richmond, Va., secretary. The organization is making extensive plans for the coming ses sion and expects soon to become na tional in scope. RIGHT OF PETITION DENIED BY FLORIDA LEGISLATURE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Tallahassee, Fla., May 23.—The state senate not only refused to have spread on its journal a memorial from the Negro Uplift Association of Flori da, but stopped the clerk in the midst of reading it. The Negro Uplift association’s peti tion asks for a longer school term for Colored children, for a Colored super intendent to be in charge of Colored boys at the State Industrial school, expresses appreciation of efforts of governor and legislature in trying to improve labor conditions at Mariana, demands more sanitary and better lighted waiting rooms in railroad depots, pleads for better laws for the protection of prisoners and the pre vention of lynching, asks for a discon tinuation for a “disregard of laws” and calls attention to the part Negroes played in winning the war by serving their country both at home and abroad. The memorial states that every true American will agree that democracy should prevail and adds that the adop tion by the legislature of the recom mendations of the petition would help to stem “the continuous, though quiet, erodus of the Negro from the South.” The petition was submitted by rep resentative people of the race in busi ness and professions and returned army officials. The effrontery of the legislature in Florida is regarded as one of the grossest insults ever perpe trated upon any people, even in the darkest days of Russia and the “Hun niest” days of Germany. PHILADELPHIA TO HAVE ADEQUATE DAY NURSERY (By the Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, May 23.—A conference was held at the College club recently to plan for more adequate day nursery facilities for our children. A large sum of money will be raised to provide for several buildings in various loca tions. I $1 A WEEK ! X •> PUTS A GENUINE f I H0QS1ER !
