Admissions of no fraud, and no irregualrities are not enough to halt the attempt to defeat the will of the people.

History shows that the spirit of fraternalism has existed throughout the ages of man. In ancient times long before the Christian era families were banded together in groups to protect each other. In the middle ages guilds were formed for mutual protection, to render assistance in times of sickness and misfortune and to enjoy feasts and other festivities. In America Fraternalism began in October 1868 when the first lodge was formed and the first ritual written. Today there are more than one hundred thousand with more than eight million men, women and children. The Fraternal f)rder of Elks is charitable, b<!nev<q. nt and protectice. Many tho~ands of dollars are spent during the year to give relief to sick, distressed and unfortunate members in times of Nellie 1\lcCullough G. D. Installing Officer.

It is believed that the immediate period ahead will favorably compare with or even surpass the years of our greatest prosperity. Coming from such authoritative sources, these predictions have encourage the mass of colored unemployed persons whose progress is undeniably linked with the general advancement of every element of the population. Relief checks have been very helpful during .the dark days of depression, but relief money will not buy homes, educate our children, pay off mortgages or purchase the quantity and quality of good food and clothing that is required by those who are not satisfie to merely exist. Employment opportunities during the next few years should enable us to recover many of the things formerly held, especially the farms, the homes, the bank accounts, if not the luxless than seven percent. But in each of the above named industries the percentage of foreigh-born employees-many of whom were and still are ALIENS-ranged from twelve to forty one per cent. Although Negro workers have never been accused of SABOTAGE, this condition is typical of the attitude of industry throughout the country with the possible exemptions of the slaughter and packing houses, cigar and tobacco factories, the coal mines, the fertilizer factories, the car and railroad shops and the blast furnaces and steel rolling mills. Forced On Relief Rolls The rather general criticism that we constitute an exceptionally heavy load on the relief rolls in various states appears to be unfair in the light of the treatment dished out to our group by both the employers of labor and the trade unions. A striking instance of the result of this treatment was recently noted when the U. S. Civil uries.

Nor are their juveniles neglected. The juvenile lodges teach the youngsters self-reliance, character building, thus preparing them for •entrance in the Fraternal order of Elks. Like any other organization the years of hard work, courageous and untiring leadership and faithful membership are buttressed against a never tiring selfish few, who for the good of the order ought to undergo a self-imposed emersion.

As a matter of fact many Aliens have long been given preferential treatment over Negroes, both by industry and the unions and now comes a statement from the Congressional Committee investigating un-American activities to the effect that "Both Communists and Natzis are at work inside every important industry in the United States," and incidentally, they are NOT Negroes. Never Given Chance . Before the financial crash of 1929 when there were more Negroes employed in industry than ever before, less than one per cent of the several hundred thousand persons mployed in the shoe factories were colored and the same conditions obtained in the silk mills watch factories, knitting mills and woolen and worsted mills. The working force in the rubber factories was less than three per cent colored; in the cotton mills and It is therefore, rather encouraging to learn that thousands of our young colored carollers in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) are now receiving training as semiskilled mechanics, telephone linemen, road and bridge construction workers, truck and tractor opeators, cooks and bakers, carpenters, surveyors, welder.s, electricians and radio operators. But will industry and the trade unions permit them ·to work in the factories and mills throughout the country? Is This Democracy'/ Negro workers do not object to the placement in industry on Naturalized foreigh-born citizens but they are unable to justify the preferential treatment given to several million aliens, many of whom have no faith or interest in the ideas and traditions of the United States. Until industry and the labor unions give Negroes some semblance of a square or new deal our large mass of unemployed will neessarily be dependent upon the relief rolls or organized charity.

Anointed, after lying prostrate before the chapel altar to show their humility in the sight of God they will go forth to instruct other Negroes on the Gold Coast of Africa or in some hamlet of the Deep South. They came to St, Augustine's Seminary here, the only Catholic seminary for Negroes in ,the United States, while almost children. Studying Latin and Greek under the white Fathers of the Divine Word, a missionary society founded in Holland in 1875, they finished ,their four-year-high-school course and two of college. Then for a year they studied philosophy in the white seminary at Techny, Til., and returned to Boy St. Louis for three more years of philosophy, four of theology and their ordination under Bishop Richard 0.
