CLERKS IN STEWARTS SEED SHOP Stewart’s Seed and Flower Shop, on Sixteenth street opposite the Postoffice is one of the very few stores that has for a long lime given employment to colored people in a clerical capacity, as well as in other departments. For many years Miss Irene Cochran was employed hy the Stewart’s anil it was a pleasant sight to see her with the other employees waiting upon customers. Miss Gertrude Dysart has been employed in the same capacity for the past two years. A representative of the Monitor was in the store Tuesday for a few minutes and noticed three or four customers, among the foremost white ladies of the city, who without the slight est hesitation and as a matter of course went to Miss Dysart for their purchases and were courteously waited on hy her. Tile Monitor asked Miss Dysart if custom ers ever resented her waiting on them. She replied that occasionally, and that quite rarely, some customer, generally of the poorer class, declined to have her wait on them. Mr. (Jiarles Stewart said, "Many of our liest customers seem to prefer to j have Gertrude wait on them.” W'hat Stewart's Seed and Flower Shop does, other stores which enjoy a good pa tronage of the best people could do, if they only had the moral courage to do it, and that is give work as clerks and sales women to some of our capable and couteous young women.

I_ WORKERS’ COMMUNTY ASSOCIATION The Workers' Community Association is persistently calling to service men and women of the working class in Omaha and vicinity. We are organized, not to fight other rarial, or any other group or groups, or individuals, hut organized to study our Industrial. Social, Political, and Economic rights. We realize the seriousness of the affair and we have dedicated our all in all to the cause. We know that out of this organization will come a new era, and when that day comes we the working-class must bn prepared to present the right man at the right hour to champion our cause, hence we are calling for the unorganized men and women to organize.

Matthews of Bos ton, Mass., recently appointed special as sistant to the United States Attorney Ge neral, enroute to the east from Lincoln, Nehr., where he had been sent on official business for the government, spent a few busy hours in Omaha last Wednesday. Ar riving shortly before 4 o’clock, he was taken to the Colored Commercial Club rooms where he addressed a gathering of busi ness and prefessional men hastily sum moned for the occasion. Doubtless, many others would have been present had not their business and other engagements pre vented or had a longer notice been given. It was not until after 2 o’clock Wed nesday when an effort to reach several per sons by telephone for this meeting at 4 o’clock was made. Upon such short no tice it was impossible for many to be present who would like to have been. Mr. Matthews, who is close to the ad ministration, having headed the national Colored Republican campaign bureau, which was handled so successfully made a favorable impression by his clear state ments concerning the administration poli cy towards our people which is causing much impatience. The sum total of his re marks was that Coolidge is fundamental ly sound touching the claims of all Ameri can citizens and is moving as rapidly in the amelioration of conditions affecting our own group as the situation will per mit. Mr. Matthews left shortly after mid night for Washington. COLORED DOCTORS VOTE TO HELP $50,000 FUND New York,— Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J. President-elect of the Na tional Medical Association, has informed that the colored doctors have unanimously voted to ask their entire membership to contribute to the $50,000 Legal Defense Fund being raised by the N. A. A. C P. This action has come about not only by reason of the defense of Dr. O. .H. Sweet in Detroit, undertaken by the N. A. A. C. P. but inasmuch as many of the victims of mob attempts at segregation have been colored doctors of standing. On Oct. 25, a group of seven doctors met at the home of Dr, J. P. Turner, in Philadelphia, the group, besides Dr. Alex ander, including: Dr. G. W. Bowles, York, Pa., chairman of the Executive Commit tee of the National Medical Association; Dr. J. P. Turner, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; Dr. E. C. Brown, Washington, D. C.. representing Dr. Clyde Donnell, General Secretary N. M. A.; Dr. C. P. McClendon, New Rochelle, N. Y., Assistant Secretary; und Dr. R. M. Fow ler, Atlantic City. Dr. R. C. Brown was designated secre tary. I he seven doctors decided to place the mutter of assisting the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Defense Fund by establishing at once a fund of $5,000, and that a general com mittee be appointed, to solicit and collect the fund. This plan has now received tile unanimous endorsement of the Executive Board of the N. M. A. A disbursing committee has been nomin ated to cooperate with the N. A. A. C. P. as follows: Dr. W, G. Alexander, New Jersey; Dr. C. P. McClendon, New York; Dr. R. M. Fowler, New Jersey; Dr. G. W. Bowles and Dr. J. P.Turner of Pennsyl vania Dr. E. 1'. Roberts of New York has been nominated for treasurer of the fund. HIGH SCHOOL GRID MAN STARS York, Nebr.—(By (he Associated Negro Press) Great preparations are being made hy the high school of this town for Fremont which plays here Saturday. The cause of concern is Jack Herndon, half back on the Fremont team, who this year has brought about the defeat of every team, except Omaha Central, which Fremont has play erl. He is said to be the finest open field runner in the state. WOMAN CONFESSES LIE Chicago, III.— (By the Associated Negro Press) Mrs. Ruth Irene Davis, white, cashier in an exclusive restaurant, was placed on probation for a year in munici pal court here, when she confessed that she and not a colored hundit hud stolen $1(7 from the cash register. She claimed that she took the money to support her 5-year old daughter. Liberia On The Lap of The Gods Liberia, after all these years, may be the means of helping to eradicate some of the evils of American color prejudice. Hard upon the announce ment that the Firestones are to spend $100,000000 in he little African repub lic developing rubber, comes the an nouncement from the Phelps-Stokes Fund of an immediate co-operative program in education, health, and general welfare development. It is an nounced that the welfare will dove tail in with the commercial and agri cultural. The Associated Negro Press, some weeks ago, gave a forecast of this fact. Time may come when It will be as popular for Colored Ameri cans to be seeking passports to Li beria as it Is for White Americans today seeking passage to Florida. With the immigration law on, and Ne gro labor at a premium, perhaps econ omic white America wll wake up and say: “Let's stop our foolish face hat red.” OLD LAW PUTS WHOLE TOWN IN DANGER OF JAIL New Brunswick, N. J.— (By the Associ ated Negro Press) Between 7,000 and 10, 000 residents of Middlesex County had their names handed to Prosecutor Joseph E. Strieker here Monday as law violators. Anyone who walked anywhere Sunday except to church, who bought a newspa per, tobarco, meals, trolley rides, gasoline, or, in fact anything else, is eligible to ap pear on the list of offenders. So, too, are those who sold anything. The law under which the offenses were | committed is known as the vice and im morality act, passed in colonial times and lately forgotten except by blue law advo cates who unearthed it to force the clos ing of theaters on Sunday. Rare Snake Found Vermilion, S. D.—A »mall snake, red striped, uncovered In a Vermilion street when excavation was being done for the laying of water pipes, was pronounced a western milk snake, a species exceedingly rare In this sec tion.
