SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1918. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE IN DENVER, COLORADO. Attempts Aro Doing Miulo to Draw Color Lino at Union Station and Rc<l Cross Hospital. Last woolc, ono of Denver's most prominent colored men, an inspector of tho city and active Mason was re¬ fused admission on account of liis color by Mr. p. j. Chamberlain, chairman of the Denver Chapter, American Red Cross conducting tho Emorgoncy Hospital at El Jebel Temple, a recluse of tho High Branch of tho Masons. Tho ilrst announcement of discrim¬ ination by this groat humanitarian organization of mercy was unboliev- ablo. It was not. until a committoo of Denver's leading clergymen and ono of our most prominent physicians woro told by Mr. Chamberlain that the colored man could not enter tho institution that wo believed tho re¬ port. To tho committee, Mr. Chamber¬ lain assumed tho responsibility for tho discrimination and expressed sur¬ prise that the colored people should come to him, knowing that whlto peoplo did not. want to bo in such places with them, Tho committee called Mr. Cham¬ berlain's attention to tho fact that there were several colored auxiliaries to tho Denver Hod Cross Chapter besides hundreds of our colored citi¬ zens contributing their money, time,! etc. to it. All of this was of no avail Not? until Rev. 1). E. Over, who was tho spokesman for the committee, threat encd to go to the public press with the matter and the ministers threat¬ ened to preach it from their pulpits, j Vlid Mr. Chamberlain agree to rocon- ! sider his decision. While the committee was present he called up the Women's Emergency Hospital and found that there was' no objection to color there. Then later he held a conference with tho doctors and nurses and found that there was no objection El Jebel. Tho representative of the Denver Star, sat in the audience, at tho j Union Thanksgiving service, and ! hoard the appeal made for colored men to act as orderlies in the Enter gonoy Hospital. It was explained that their '.luties would bo to carry tho victims of the. "Flu" into the hospital. But Friday a colored man ' was the victim and he was refused' admission. Think of having to hold a confer-] onco to decide whether or not a j humane act should be extended to a j suffering influenza victim hccnuso of his color! Think of this merciful J chairman of this great organization j having to call a conference of tho doctors and nurses to decide whether } or not, Negroes should be pormittcd to participate in tho coming mom- . borship drive to raise thousands of ' dolla rs! Again think with mo of the thous¬ ands of Negro homes in Denver in whoso windows aro placed tho bright red cross sign, tho emblem of the Mother of tho world! Now concolvo of this beautiful emblem of Mercy, j proudly hanging in thousands of our homos changed through petty, per¬ sonal bias and prcjudico to a black cross of race and color discrimina¬ tion. ' If Mr. P. J. Chamberlain persists in dragging his personal prejudice into that lofty oflico of chairman of the Denver Chapter, of tho great American Red Cross, the Star thinks, in fact, knows, that he is not the proper person for such a big position and should resign because of his smnilness. It is only a case of a big job and a little man. Secretary Dunlcavy was over anx¬ ious to let the committee and all Denver know he, too, was color pre¬ judiced and the Star will publish his nasty private prejudice. DRAWING COLOR LINE IN THE TELE PHONE BOOTHS. For somotimo \>nst, tho telophono girls at the 'Jnion Station have had! tho practice of putting all Negro I patrons of tho Telophono Exchango | in booth "number four" and when > the color discrimination became so . irritating and noticeable, inquiry i was made by the colored peoplo why I this nasty and narrow prejudice was being shown and tho girls replied,) "that, tho orders came from head- 1 Quarters and that they were simply ! obeying (he rules." The Star took the matter up with } Mr. Hospe, operating manager of tho ! company, who said ho know of tho practice but did not know "who" gave the order, but for mo to see Mr. Holmes, chief clerk or Mr. Brae- don, district manager, who possibly could inform mo of the source of the order. We called Mr. Braodon sov- oral times and left our phono number ; while he was in the telephone build- ( ing, yet. The Star could not get in ! touch with him. j However his chief clerk, Mr. i Holmes volunteered this information ! "that while lie did not know who j gave the order, ho did not believe > that the telephone company gavo t he order, as ho understood that such ! an order was given verbally by a j Mr. Keating, the general manager of tho Union Terminals at I ho station and that the telephone company was not the person for us to see, as tho booths were put into the depot and wore subject to the instructions and rules of Mr. Keating. Wo then called Mr. Keating an'd told him of the color line caste and what Mr, Holmes said and believed, and Mr. Keating bocamo very much angered and said ho "knew nothing of the matter; never heard of it before and ho believed that tho girls put such a rule in force thomselvos and that for mo to send to him somo person who had boon 'discriminated against and ho would tako tho matter up with tho tolophono company that was trying to put something over on htm which ho did not morlt." Wo sont a man down and took up tho mutter with Mr. ID. B. Fiold, Jr. of tho tolopliono company, who after making an investigation, Informed tho Star that such nn ordor was put in voguo during our lntluonza crisis but tlint lio could not locato tho por- son who authorized it and that such a practico would bo immediately stopped. IIo thanked us for culling ids uttcntion to this mutter of injus¬ tice. Mr. Field also said, "that a big organization like tho company could not afford to bo so narrow us to draw tho color lino." So in one weok tho color lino caused by personal, privuto petty prejudices of two individuals woro attempted because thoso people occupied prominent places of respon¬ sibility. The Negro's war against projudico and custo of all kinds bus Just begun after tho signing of the armistice in this World's War for Nomocracy. Think of tho last reason tlmt tho "color lino" rulo was put in voguo during our inlluonza crisis whon a hundred white people died to ovory Negro!! Wo oplno tho color rulo wus m ado to protect tho Negro's health at tho depot!! Hud that malady been peculiar to Nogroes, thero Is 110 placo in Colorado that would huvo boon largo enough to hold tho Negroes who would huvo boon forced to go thero. Denver (Colorado) Star.

Now York, Decombor 7. Tho American Academy of Political Science, one of tho influential organi¬ zations collected with Columbia Uni¬ versity, Now York City, is holding a Reconstruction Conforonco hero at tho Hotel Astor. Among tho speak ers aro tho following: Honorable Wil Ham 1). Wilson, Secretary of Labor; Ex-President William II. Tuft; Mr. Charles M . iSchwab, Director Gener¬ al American l'Meet Corporation; Miss Mary Van Kleeck, Director of Wo¬ man in Industry Service, Department of I ..altor ; Mr. Felix Frankfurter, As¬ sistant Labor Administrator; Miss Helen Eraser of London, England; Mr. Thomas 13. Lovo, Assistant Sec¬ retary of tho Treasury and Dr. George E. Ilaynos, Director of Ne¬ gro Economics, Department of Labor. Extracts from the address of the Director of Negro Economics on "Tho Effect of War Conditions on Negro Labor" are as follows: Tho subject should bo divided into threo main parts: (1) Tho change in tho relation of Negro wage-earners to white employers, North and South; (2) tho change in the relation of No-| gro wage-earners to wlilto workmen; and (3) tho change in the Negro him self. Wherever there has been intelli-] gent guidance that the first cxpcrl-j once of the Northern employer, in' making trial of Negro workers has been satisfactory to him and where ever there has been intelligent guid- anco for Negro woi Iters, the experi¬ ment has been successful. Without such intelligent direction, employers have given up the trial as a hopeless experiment. Referring to the effect of Negro migration North tho speaker sa.Ul that after Negro migration North had developed there was a considerable in reaso in war demands for the building of cantonments and muni¬ tions plants in the South, a shortage of labor in the South followed inovil ably. Out of liiiis shortage of labor arose a revaluation of Negro labor. Further, this migration to the North and tho consequent changes under war conditions brought homo to tho mind of the rank and file of the Negroes tUio fcelijiig that freedom among other things means ihe liberty for one to move at will from place to place and to change his job when it is to his advantage to do so. Again, it should be emphasized that tho efforts of the Department J of Labor to adjust, (ho relations of white employers and Negro wage- earners in the South during tho tin usual war conditions have been largely experimental, but the experiment has been successful beyond the most sun guinc expectation. The experiment has established beyond the question tho practicability, North and South of tho plan by which representatives of Negro wage-earners moot the re presentatives of white employers in cool oral ivo committees and confer¬ ences. It has demonstrated that such meetings can achieve substantial re suits in adjusting tho local labor prob loins which changing conditions and relations have produced t REVENUE AGENT INVOLVED IN SEIZURE.

Chief of Police llell ordered officers to the station which was closely watched as tho train arrived. The three men with suitcases were seen to descend from the train and made their way to a small building on the tra ks near which the hotel bus was drr.wn up. Tho suitcases were being handed to t lie Negro driver when] the officers interposed and placed the -party in custody. Shugart, how over insisted that the liquor was' none other than that which ho had seized on the train. Pressed closely however, he could account for two suitcases only. Tho other two, so say the police he denied responsibili ly for. The suitcases contained for ty-six pints, nearly all being the same brand. None of the white men were arrested and no warrants have been issued at this writing.

DRAWING THE COLOR LINE INDENVER, COLORADO.

Attempts Aro Doing Miulo to DrawColor Lino at Union Station and

Rc<l Cross Hospital.Last woolc, ono of Denver's most

prominent colored men, an inspectorof tho city and active Mason was re¬fused admission on account of liiscolor by Mr. p. j. Chamberlain,chairman of the Denver Chapter,American Red Cross conducting thoEmorgoncy Hospital at El JebelTemple, a recluse of tho High Branchof tho Masons.

Tho ilrst announcement of discrim¬ination by this groat humanitarianorganization of mercy was unboliev-ablo. It was not. until a committooof Denver's leading clergymen andono of our most prominent physiciansworo told by Mr. Chamberlain thatthe colored man could not enter thoinstitution that wo believed tho re¬

port.To tho committee, Mr. Chamber¬

lain assumed tho responsibility fortho discrimination and expressed sur¬

prise that the colored people shouldcome to him, knowing that whltopeoplo did not. want to bo in suchplaces with them,

Tho committee called Mr. Cham¬berlain's attention to tho fact thatthere were several colored auxiliariesto tho Denver Hod Cross Chapterbesides hundreds of our colored citi¬zens contributing their money, time,!etc. to it.

All of this was of no avail Not?until Rev. 1). E. Over, who was thospokesman for the committee, threatencd to go to the public press withthe matter and the ministers threat¬ened to preach it from their pulpits, jVlid Mr. Chamberlain agree to rocon- !sider his decision.

While the committee was presenthe called up the Women's EmergencyHospital and found that there was'no objection to color there. Thenlater he held a conference with thodoctors and nurses and found thatthere was no objection El Jebel.Tho representative of the Denver

Star, sat in the audience, at tho jUnion Thanksgiving service, and !hoard the appeal made for coloredmen to act as orderlies in the Entergonoy Hospital. It was explainedthat their '.luties would bo to carrytho victims of the. "Flu" into thehospital. But Friday a colored man '

was the victim and he was refused'admission.

Think of having to hold a confer-]onco to decide whether or not a jhumane act should be extended to a jsuffering influenza victim hccnuso ofhis color! Think of this merciful Jchairman of this great organization jhaving to call a conference of thodoctors and nurses to decide whether }or not, Negroes should be pormittcdto participate in tho coming mom- .

dolla rs!Again think with mo of the thous¬

ands of Negro homes in Denver inwhoso windows aro placed tho brightred cross sign, tho emblem of theMother of tho world! Now concolvoof this beautiful emblem of Mercy, jproudly hanging in thousands of our

homos changed through petty, per¬sonal bias and prcjudico to a blackcross of race and color discrimina¬tion.

'

If Mr. P. J. Chamberlain persistsin dragging his personal prejudiceinto that lofty oflico of chairman ofthe Denver Chapter, of tho greatAmerican Red Cross, the Star thinks,in fact, knows, that he is not theproper person for such a big positionand should resign because of hissmnilness. It is only a case of abig job and a little man.

Secretary Dunlcavy was over anx¬ious to let the committee and allDenver know he, too, was color pre¬judiced and the Star will publish hisnasty private prejudice.

DRAWING COLOR LINE IN THETELEPHONE BOOTHS.

For somotimo \>nst, tho telophonogirls at the 'Jnion Station have had!tho practice of putting all Negro Ipatrons of tho Telophono Exchango |in booth "number four" and when >the color discrimination became so .

irritating and noticeable, inquiry iwas made by the colored peoplo why Ithis nasty and narrow prejudice wasbeing shown and tho girls replied,)"that, tho orders came from head- 1Quarters and that they were simply !obeying (he rules."

The Star took the matter up with }Mr. Hospe, operating manager of tho !company, who said ho know of thopractice but did not know "who"gave the order, but for mo to seeMr. Holmes, chief clerk or Mr. Brae-don, district manager, who possiblycould inform mo of the source of theorder. We called Mr. Braodon sov-oral times and left our phono number ;while he was in the telephone build- (ing, yet. The Star could not get in !touch with him. jHowever his chief clerk, Mr. i

Holmes volunteered this information !"that while lie did not know who jgave the order, ho did not believe >

that the telephone company gavot he order, as ho understood that such !an order was given verbally by a jMr. Keating, the general manager oftho Union Terminals at I ho stationand that the telephone company wasnot the person for us to see, as thobooths were put into the depot andwore subject to the instructions andrules of Mr. Keating.Wo then called Mr. Keating an'd

told him of the color line caste andwhat Mr, Holmes said and believed,and Mr. Keating bocamo very muchangered and said ho "knew nothingof the matter; never heard of itbefore and ho believed that tho girlsput such a rule in force thomselvosand that for mo to send to him somoperson who had boon 'discriminatedagainst and ho would tako tho matterup with tho tolophono company thatwas trying to put something over on

htm which ho did not morlt."Wo sont a man down and took uptho mutter with Mr. ID. B. Fiold, Jr.of tho tolopliono company, who after

making an investigation, Informedtho Star that such nn ordor was putin voguo during our lntluonza crisisbut tlint lio could not locato tho por-son who authorized it and that sucha practico would bo immediatelystopped. IIo thanked us for cullingids uttcntion to this mutter of injus¬tice.

Mr. Field also said, "that a bigorganization like tho company couldnot afford to bo so narrow us to drawtho color lino." So in one weok thocolor lino caused by personal, privutopetty prejudices of two individualsworo attempted because thoso peopleoccupied prominent places of respon¬sibility.

The Negro's war against projudicoand custo of all kinds bus Just begunafter tho signing of the armistice inthis World's War for Nomocracy.Think of tho last reason tlmt tho"color lino" rulo was put in voguoduring our inlluonza crisis whon ahundred white people died to ovoryNegro!!

litical Science.

Now York, Decombor 7. ThoAmerican Academy of PoliticalScience, one of tho influential organi¬zations collected with Columbia Uni¬versity, Now York City, is holding aReconstruction Conforonco hero attho Hotel Astor. Among tho speakers aro tho following: Honorable WilHam 1). Wilson, Secretary of Labor;Ex-President William II. Tuft; Mr.Charles M . iSchwab, Director Gener¬al American l'Meet Corporation; MissMary Van Kleeck, Director of Wo¬man in Industry Service, Departmentof I ..altor ; Mr. Felix Frankfurter, As¬sistant Labor Administrator; MissHelen Eraser of London, England;Mr. Thomas 13. Lovo, Assistant Sec¬retary of tho Treasury and Dr.George E. Ilaynos, Director of Ne¬gro Economics, Department of Labor.Extracts from the address of the

Director of Negro Economics on "ThoEffect of War Conditions on NegroLabor" are as follows:Tho subject should bo divided into

threo main parts: (1) Tho change intho relation of Negro wage-earners towhite employers, North and South;(2) tho change in the relation of No-|gro wage-earners to wlilto workmen;and (3) tho change in the Negro himself.Wherever there has been intelli-]

gent guidance that the first cxpcrl-jonce of the Northern employer, in'making trial of Negro workers hasbeen satisfactory to him and whereever there has been intelligent guid-anco for Negro woi Iters, the experi¬ment has been successful. Withoutsuch intelligent direction, employershave given up the trial as a hopelessexperiment.

Referring to the effect of Negromigration North tho speaker sa.Ulthat after Negro migration North haddeveloped there was a considerablein reaso in war demands for thebuilding of cantonments and muni¬tions plants in the South, a shortageof labor in the South followed inovilably. Out of liiiis shortage of laborarose a revaluation of Negro labor.Further, this migration to the Northand tho consequent changes underwar conditions brought homo totho mind of the rank and file of theNegroes tUio fcelijiig that freedomamong other things means ihe libertyfor one to move at will from place toplace and to change his job when itis to his advantage to do so.Again, it should be emphasized

that tho efforts of the Department Jof Labor to adjust, (ho relations ofwhite employers and Negro wage-earners in the South during tho tinusual war conditions have been largelyexperimental, but the experiment hasbeen successful beyond the most sunguinc expectation. The experimenthas established beyond the questiontho practicability, North and Southof tho plan by which representativesof Negro wage-earners moot the representatives of white employers incool oral ivo committees and confer¬ences. It has demonstrated that suchmeetings can achieve substantial resuits in adjusting tho local labor probloins which changing conditions andrelations have produced t
