For pre-war normalcy never will return. That’s history. We 'till hear suggestions and hopes of reverting to old-time methods and the pre-war business basis, but, aceordi . to Dr. Julius Klein, of the United States De part me. ' of Com: .erce, such a retrogression would be aboir mple as an attempt to return to the middle ages—and as profitable. Tin re isn’t a great deal of room in business these da :• Aunt Sarah, who inherited a shoe factory and insi.-* t the factory go on making high-laced shoes because Uncle Ezra sold ’em in the ’70’s. American busi in->' never was more dynamic and violatile than it is to ith constantly changing front in practically all lines. Since 11*21, Mr. Klein points out American business has left as monuments of its progress a long succession of junk-heap? of discarded processes, antiquated ideas andi ol There have been tragedies of those who dung too long to revered and once profitable prac tices. ] The new business man must be eager to take ad-1 mtage of the slightest changes in trend. It is no day for secret-v. Backward glimpses should not be longing1 and desirous of what is behind, but intelligently inquisit ive of facts. St- John's AME. Church 22nd and Willis Avenue, Rev. L. P.

CALDWELL) An architect when he erects a large office building, has taken each month a picture of the work, so that the pro gress of the building can be visualiz ed. Let us follow the same plan and turn back the pages of history, so we can scan the tremendous advances your race has made since 1619, when they came to this country. At that same time, the country was a primitive wilderness. The Indians showed no race discrimination, scalp ing the native American race, both white and black. Today the racket eer does not discriminate as to color or creed. In 1865, only 10 percent of our col ored population could read—today only 10 percent is illiterate. Race feel ing developed early betwen the races in their quest for economic prefer ment. This economic rift among the toilers first developed when the plan tation owners used slave labor to out bid local white contrators on city and county jobs, and entered the general contracting business in competition with free white labor in the South. Let us now sketch briefly the de velopment of the trade union move ment in this country. The Knights of Labor later developed into the Amer ican Federation of Labor, capitalized their manual skill much like the ban ker capitalized the use of the med iums of exchange to their great fin ancial advantage. AH skilled trades through their su. perb union organization ability, soon became a closed field to all unorgan ized labor. Organized labor feared the low liv ing scale and the urge for gainful employment among the colored pop ulation. Twenty-one international unions prohibited colored labor from enter ing their ranks through constitution ed provisions, other unions either dis couraged recruiting colored labor or organized separate white and colored unions, such as the musicians long shoremen, etc. The trainment for instance have generally been closed to colored lab or, while the strong coal miners un ion was open to all races, creeds and color. Lately the colored workers have been admitted into the garment workers trade. There has been no great urge on the part of the colored workers to force the unions to admit their numbers to membership. The white employers discouraged this action and the colored leaders have been openly suspicious of the organizers motives. The claim is made in strikes, that colored labor through loyalty to their union, are first to go out and last to go back, and the unions have seemed luke warm in their battle for their rein statement. The Negro leaders feel that their inductions in industry have generally come through strikes or in times of great labor shortage, colored labor has been found efficient when prop erly trained to their jobs. The crit icism brought against them by some plant foreman is their proneness to quit after an 'earning spell, to enjoy their hard won leisure, making a higher turnover for the plant than in the case of white labor. The Negro has turned slowly to business and to the professions, due in a measure to lack of capital, eith er for business or to finance them selves through the courses of study necessary to fit themselves for a pro fession. In looking backwards, one is started to see the tremendous strid es our colored Americans have made in the acquisition of wealth during the last fifty years. The Negro starting with nothing today owns 738,000 homes and 98,00C farms. I take these figures from the 1930 year book. They have invested in business over $2,580,000. Have over 198,000,000 in church property, They operate or did before the de pression, 50 private banks and one National Bank with $20,000,000 in deposits and $3,00,000 capital. Depos its amount to $75,000,000. Twenty one Life Insurance Companies, assets being over $18,000,000 and $260,174, 467 Life Insurance in force. A survey of 33 cities show 19% of the businesses in grocery stores, 14% barber shops, 11 percent tail oring, 11 percent restaurants, drug stores 6 percent and professional life 1.7% with numerous trades such as millinery, beauty shops, moving pic ture shows, etc. The Negro has made marked contributions in liter ature by such men as Alexander Du mas, Puskin aad of the American writers, such men as Paul Laurence Dunbar, W. E. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Countee Cul len and a host of others. In music they have given us jazz and the beautiful spirituals, the only original folk music on the North A merican continent. On the concert platform, Roland Hayes ranks high among the world’s greatest concert singers. You have a wonderful future on the stage with such supreme artists as Gilpin, Jules Bledsoe, Daniel Hayes, Florence Mills, Paul Robeson, Bert Wiliams and a host of others. In education, you support 19 col leges with membership of 250 and over. Tucker, Hampton, Fiske, all rank high in their respective fields. Booker T. Washington, R. R. Moten, Wm. Pcikens, have been torch bear ers that have helped to lighten the road to great ideals and inspirations for thousands of ambitious students. In 1866 you had two newspapers, I understand that the Christian Rec order, one of the fwo early pioneers, still survives. (Continued Next Week) LEGAL NOTICE In the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. Dkt. 285, Number 180. Notice to Non-Resident Defendant, Florence Brent, Plaintiff, vs. Paul M. Brent, Defendant.

Local Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the add test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc ery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact every concern which we sup port. We must give our dtizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter m to fives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies, the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company’ the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re | turn for the taxes we p^y in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class ! hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izens in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we are con stantly before the public’s eye. (5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Om : aha branch of the NAACP. should be had to encourage the efforts put forth by the founders of the organization and to assist the general office to establish a five million dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses and to further the principles of the NAACP. All peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela tionship that our country may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and by the people in whole and not in part. (6) The re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a principle which will guide the destiny of each other’s children; our neighbor’s children today are our children tomorrow. (7) Courteous treatment in all places of business and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law. (8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake Streets: A building and loan association, a state bank, administering aid and assistance to our widows and children. (9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association Building near 24th and Lake Streets. (10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom modations. (11) To teach our citizens to live economically with in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud get system for various salaries. (12) To make Omaha a better city in which to live by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our American citizens.

This, we be lieve will make men and women think before marrying, second offense, one of longer duration; third offense, (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of tract men of high calibre. National (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill arid thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal Law making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes cast. The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts ; to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer ican citizenship.
