The business man or manufacturer whose hope for
the future is wrapped up in an expected return to pre
war normalcy is out on a limb. 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.

WORKERS AND THE RACE
PROBLEM
(S. S. 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.

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.
(13 To put a stop to the Divorce Evil by passing a
State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus
band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided
by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration;
from one to five years in the penitentiary. 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.
