ORGANIZE 100,000 I
FOR NEGRO RIGHTS
National Conference to Be
Held in Cleveland June
21 to 99 .
A nation-wide drive to obtain
100,000 members to defend the con
stitutional and legal rights now de
nied more than four-fifths of the ne
gro race In this country, was an-1
nounced to-day by John R. Shillady,
secretary of the National Associa- \
tion for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
The association, which has now
more than 50,000 members, expects
to double its membership by June
21, at which time a national con-|
ference is to be held in Cleveland,
Ohio.
The program "To Make America
Safe For Americans," on which the;
association Is making its drive was
given out as follows by Mr. Shillady: j
1. A vote for every negro man!
und woman on the same terms as for
white men and women.
2. An equal chance to acquire the
kind of an education that will enable;
the negro everywhere wisely to use'
this vote.
3. A fair trial in the courts for all
crimes of which he is accused, by
judges in whose election he has par
ticipated without discrimination be
cause of race.
4. A right to sit upon the jury
which passes judgment upon him.
5. Defense against lynching and
burning at the hands of mobs.
6. Kqual sendee on railroad and
other public carriers. This is to
mean sleeping car service, dining
car sendee. Pullman service, at the
same cost and upon the same terms
rs other passengers.
7. Kqual right to the use of public
parks, libraries and other commu
nity services for which he is taxed.
8. An equal chance for a liveli
hood In public and private employ
ment.
9. The abolition of color-hyphena
tion and the substitution of "straight
Americanism."
"If It were not a painful fact that
more than four-fifths of the colored
people of the country are denied
these eleinentary rights," said Mr.
• Shillady. "It would seem an absurd-i
it.v that an organization Is necessary.'
to demand for American citizens the
exercise of such rights.
"One would think, if he were from
Mars, or if he knew America only
by reading the speeches of her land
ing statesmen that all that would
be needful would be to apply to the j
courts of the land and to the Legis
latures.
"When the fundamental rights of!
citizens are so wantonly denied and
that denial justified and defended as
lit is by the lawmakers and domi
nant forces of so large a number of
our states, it can be realized that the
fight for the negro's citizenship
rights means a fundamental battle
for real things, for life and liberty. |
'The common citizenship rights of
no group of people, to say nothing
of nearly 12.000,000 of them, can be
denied with impunity to the State
and the social order which denies
them. This fact should be plain to
the dullest mind among us, with the
upheaval of Kurope before our very
eyes. Who so loves America and
cherishes her institutions, owes it to
himself and his country to join j
hands with the members of the Na-:
tional Association for the Advance-1
ment of Colored People to "Ameri
canize" America and make the kind
of democracy we Americans believe
in to he the kind of democracy we;
shall have in fact as well as in
theory."
Unarmed Knights Who
Helped Win the War
The thousand odd men of the Knights
of Columbus who wore the K C brass- j
ards on their uniforms in France as well '
as the thousand-odd who wore the equal -1
ly lieat. if less impressive, home-service"
uniform of the Kr.ights, did a good job i
towards winning the war by rendering I
first comfort iid to the men who pushed
cut of the way llic considerable number
of Germans. Austrians and other misled
persons who obstructed the oath to vic
t iry. But there are many Kr.ights of
Columbus who wore no uniforms, yet
labored earnestly and substantially to
make German defeat a solid and un
deniable fact.
Edward N. Hurley of the United
States Shipping Board is a member
of a mid-Western Council of the Knights
of Columbus.
John McCormack. the celebrated ten- j
or. worked wonders In money-raising
for the Red Cross, the Knights of Co- j
lumbus and other war activities. 1
W. D. Pwyer. of St. Paul. Minn., a
supreme director of the Knights of j
Columhtts, aided in preserving order
during troubled times in the Northwest t
by rendering highly specialized legal
service to the State government.
Dr. E. W. Buckley, of St. Paul. Minn.,
supreme physician of the K. of C., took ;
a leading part in patriotic drives in
the Northwest.
Evening Dresr. Jewelry
For Men on Display
New York. —The jewelers are dis
playing a wonderful array of full-dress
jewelry for men. Evening dress'sets
are shown in the windows and the cases
of the shops in mother-of-pearl framed '
in platinum and overlaid with a fret
design in platinum wire work. This
pattern brings out quite a new idea, and
it has already made many enthusiastic
friends. The open pierced fret tones
down the white of the pearl without
entirely hiding its sheen and gives to
studs, buttons and links a soft grey
finish much to be desired.
HKIGHTH OF BIRD FLIGHTS I
In spite of their difficult and ex
acting task, a few airmen have
found opportunity to observe and
record the heighth at which various'
migrating birds are accustomed to
fly. Thus, from French soldiers of
the air it is learned that swallows :
have been observed to maintain an |
average attitude of 700 yards, and |
wild ducks one of 1,800 yards, and
that green plovers have been seen
at a heighth of 2,150 yards. Inci
dentn'ly. it may be mentioned that
the ducks were moving at a speed
of sixty-five and a half miles an hour
when flying horizontally. Another
aviator, when flying at 9,500 feet
saw swallows high above him. And
another, who made his observations
Rt a hetghth of 6,000 feet during a
heavy bombardment with anti-air
craft shells bursting about him, says
that he saw 200 golden plovers, per
haps driven higher than usual by
the fact that the vicinity was an un
pleasant belt to cross.—Scientific
