I OMAHA PREPARES TO
WELCOME ITS SOLDIERS
Omaha, May 20, 1919.
I Rev. John Albert Williams, 1119 North
Twenty-first Street:
Dear Sir—At a meeting of repre
| tentative citizens in the council cham
i ber last Saturday evening, I was au
thorized to appoint a committee of
ten, who, together with the mayor,
| would have general charge of a home
| coming celebration for our returning
j soldiers.
That committee is authorized to
j designate the time of the celebration
and have general charge of the ar
j rangements. To that end I have ap
pointed the following committee:
Colonel Jacob W. S. Wuest, Captain
C. .E Adams, M r. Randall K. Brown,
Mr. Vaclav Buresh, Mr. Robert Cowell,
Mr. R. C. Howe, Mr. C. S. Jackson,
Mr. M. W. Kalamaja, Rev. John Albeit
Williams and Mr. H. B. Zimman.
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

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.
