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.

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.

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.

A TTY. W. C. MATTHEWS PAYS
OMAHA A BRIEF VISIT
Attorney William C. 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

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

ated Negro Press) Between 7,000 and 10,

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.

Stoughton.—Tossed by his mother
from the second-story window of their
burning cottage to the outstretched
arms of his father on the ground be
low, two-year-old Herbert Carney of
43 Emerson street, South Boston, was
