the interest of education. Justice and
true democracy. '"" ' - "
Philadelphia is quivering with de-
termination like the approach of a

one leader "then it must be once

citizens in this great democracy at
a meeting held in the Joint Interest

In the Academy of music. Isaac Fish-

attempts to build two types of civili-
zation It will have trouble and in-
evitably destroy Itself as Russia has
destroyed itself.
"How Bolshevism be destroyed?".'
he asked. "By building a kind of ci
vilization that links the white man
and black man together in every
thing that uplifts mankind. Democ
racy means that men unequal in en-
dowments shall have equal opportuni-

"It Is a mockery in a democracy"
he continued' "to ask of ma all the

There were several hurdred white

ELCE EXPECTED
TO Arrange Program for Re-
adjusting Industry. Kegro
Labor to Play Conspicuous
Part. : I :
Chicago 111. April 17. That there
is a determination to really "Get
Somewhere" in the new conditions
arising out of the results of the
"World War" is strongly evident
from the discussion relative to the
big industrial parley to be held In
Chicago or New York on return of
President Wilson.
It is stated by feaders of thought
here that there mnst be no "parley"
of the magnitude suggested without
represntative of the Negro group be
ing present and taking an active
part in the deliberations.
The information 'was sent out from
Washington during the week that
President Wilson - upon his return
to this country will issue a call for
an industrial conference the pur
pose of which wilt be to enable cap
ital labor and the government to
join hands in an amicable program
for readjusting Industry. It is to
bo held late in May or early In
June if possible. -'
The president. has already received
the . suggestion in. a report from
Washington and is understood to fa-
vor It The report suggests a clari
fication of the industrial situation by
the two following moves on the part
of the chief executive:
1. A allina -' ..in industrial con-
ference-or 'psj-Attuient; to." devise a
constructive program to meet the
peace needs of the Country's busi-
ness life.
2. Reaffirmation of the authority
of the war labor board as a co-oper
ative tribunal of Justice during the
transitory period or until the in
dustrial conference conclusions are
put into effect.
It Is pointed out that the personnel
of no. such conference would be
complete without the presence of
representative Negroes. . During the
last three years the Negroes of the
country have been a most Important
asset to the industrial world. While
there is a temporary scarcity of work
in some quarters in the North where
more than 600000 Negroes have mi-
grated there is a demand for labor
in the South. While Southerners are
making all .sorts 6f " Inducements to
start a flow of migration back South
not two per cent of those who have
come North have returned or have
the inclination to do so.
The American Federation of Lf';or
is seeking to organize the Negro in
avenues of employment both North
and South and while some look on
the motives with suspicion others are
accepting the plan as the greatest
opportunity for industrial justice.
That the American Negro will never
again be reduced to the limited lines
of eni) loyment In which he was held
prior .o the war. Is being attested
by both whites and Race leaders
everjrvhre.
One leading Netro .business man re-
marked with reference to the pro-
posed conference: "If we are not
officially Invited hundreds of us )!
be tl.jre anyhow to iind out the
reanon why."

The John A. Andrew Clinical So-
ciety closed its focond Annual Ses-
sion at the John A. Andrew Memo-
rial Hospital Tuskegee Institute
Alabama last night April 6th with
a banquet fol owing which the last
scientific sesslci was held for discus-
sion and transaction of the final bus-
iness of the Society. : .
The day had been an eremoly
busy one the operating rooms
were opened promptly at 7:30 a. m.
ard every minute during the day
until 7:30 t- operations were be-
ing performed. A very great variety
of cases was on hand somo of which
were of unusual interest and rarity.
Then wore cases present that are
encountered only at infrequent Inter-
vals. Twenty-four operations were
performed during the day and it is
very probable that on no othTT oc-
casion has there been such an aggre-
gation of Negro surgeons of. ability
with such an accompanying variety
of cases. '
The Clinic opened up on Thursday
night April 3rd. During the entire
Clinic thirty-three operations were
performed the great majority of
them majors. At this writing April
6th every patient la In good rcutfor-
table condition with no indication
of a pending serious result These
patients have come from a number of
different places in this state as well
ns adk)In?ng one having come from
Oklahoma.
On I-Yl-'ay the fourth tho entire
day was devoted to the examination
and treatment of out-patients especi-
ally and beside examinations of
patients in the Wards preparatory
to their operation on the following
day. The waiting rooms halls and
varandas were simply crowded with
patients eager and anxious to avail
themselves of the unusual opportun-
ity presented them and the physici-
san had all they could do to attend
to those present seeking r el let
There were seventy physicians phar-
macists dentists and surgeons present
from all parts of the South; Ken-
tucky Virginia North Carolina South
Carolina Florida Alabama and
Georgia as well as from the far
North such as Chicago and Wash-
ington a rather rare collection of
much of the leading talent in the
Negro medical profession. Three- diff-
erent occasions brought together this
body of men including one woman
physician: First the meeting of the
Alabama Medical Dental and Phar-
maceutical Association which con-
tinued from April 1st to 3rd; then
the opening of the Second Annual
Meeting of the John A. Andrew Clin-
ical Society; and the Eighth Annual
Clinic of the John A. Andrew Mem-
orial Hospital. '
On Thursday night a public meet
ing was held in the Institute Chapel
where about two thousand people
were assembled to witness the pro-
gram conducted by these seventy
Negro professional men. The sub-
ject "Tuberculosis Among the Ne
groes and What the Negro Physici-
ans are Doing to- Combat It" was
thoroughly discussed from a number
of angles by a large number of the
physicians and surgeons and dentists
who gave from three to five minute
talks; also other health conditions
of the race including suggestions
for improvement The veneral dis
ease situation as it affects the Ne
gro race was also discussed.
A paper was read by the Medical
Director of the John A. Andrew
Memorial Hospital In which he gave
some interesting statistics on the
work of the Hospital during the
past five years. He stated that 6828
cases had been treated In the wards
ot the Hospital ' during this period.
with a total of 28 deaths; that ot
this number S78 had received sur-
gical operations " with only eight
deaths; that durin?r the recent epl-
Uemic at rCJUitk. . at . lulluoaa.- were
treated with no deaths and 32 cases
of pneumonia with one death. He
also stated that slnoe the Nurses'
Training School was founded 127
nurses had been graduated and sent
out and that they are doing insti-
tutional work as heads or small hos-
pitals and private sanitariums in a
number of towns and cities In differ-
ent parts of the South; as far North
as Indianapolis Ind. and that a
number of the graduates were en-
gaged in Public Health Nursing un-
der the United States Public Health
Service in Little Rock Arkansas;
Columbia South Carolina; Colum-
bus and Macon Georgia and some
other places also that others had
been engaged in Cleveland Ohio;
Birmingham and Montgomery Ala.
The Trustees of the Tuskegee Nor-
mal and Industrial Institute were
present on this occasion and wit-
nessed with great interest the dif-
ferent exercises of the week and
expressed thler hearty appreciation
and approval of the John A. Andrew
Clinical. Society and the work of the
John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital
and its Annual Clinics.

Democratic Leader Laments Pr esent
Tendencies In Administration and

By Snell Smith
Washington April 17. In a de-
termined and forceful attack Joseph
W. Bailey of Texas former Senator
and leader of his p? rty in the House
repudiates present tendencies of the
Democratic Administration and de-
clares that President Wilson has
strong socialistic leanings.

real principles of tne party I havs
refrained from making any public

Democratic masses disciplining the
Democratic leaders the body of the

carded unless something is done to
arrest and reverse the present ten
