New York has a Boclety whose pur
pose Is to fight against tho develop
ment ot a negro "ghetto In the
American cities. It Is tho National
League oil Urban Conditions Among
Negroes, whoso membership Includes
many persons socially prominent In
New York, together with a company
ot serious-minded colored people. The
hoadquartcrs are at No. 110 West For
tieth street.
Mrs. William H. Baldwin. Jr.. was
recently elected chairman of the
executive board. Other members of
the league are: Mrs. Haley Flske,
George McAneny, Silas McBee, Wil
liam H. Maxwell, William Jay Schlef-
felln, Isaac N. Sellgman, George W.
Sellgman, Charles D. Utiles, the Rev.
William Adams Brown, Paul J. Sachs,
Theodore M. Taf t, Albert Shaw, Judge
Joseph F. Mulqueen and Major R. It.
Moton.
The league has affiliated organiza
tions In Philadelphia, Chicago, Louis
ville, St., Louis, Richmond ad Nor
folk, Va.; Augusta, Ga., and Wilming
ton, Del. Its biggest work, however,
is in New York, where the negro
population is now more than 90,000,
being more than in any other city in
America, except Washington.
"Our work here Includes many
branches of activity," Bald Eugene K.
Jones, associate director In charge of
the local work. "We have a commit
tee for improving industrial condi
tions, which seeks to organize work
ers In tho various occupations, and by
this means help our people to better
things. For Instance, we have organ
ized one group into the Colored Public
Porters association, for the purpose
of guarding the public against unscru
pulous porters. The organization Is
raising the standard of reliability and
efficiency among Its members. Work
ers in other occupations are similarly
organized.
Then we "have a vocational ex
change, operated in connection with
tho housing bureau, at No. 127 West
One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street.
In the thickly populated negro section
of Harlem. This exchange is being
made a clearing house through which
applicants for help and for positions
may be referred to reliable philan
thropic and commercial employment
agencies. Positions have been secured
for 197 peraons."
It takeB three seconds for a cable
message to cross the ocean.
Of the material success of certain
colored men In tho south, the Crisis
contains this:
'Ocala, Fla., has 3,000 colored in
habitants, and there are 12,000 others
in the surrounding county. This has
offered a chance for Industrial co
operation. There is a thriving sea
island cotton factory, considerable ex
porting of moss and velvet beans,
while colored men have numerous
stores and are supporting professional
men. Recently the Metropolitan Real
ty and Investment company has been
organized and has erected a $20,000
building. In this a bank with a capi
tal of $25,000 has been located. The
president of the company, George
Giles, Is a large holder ot real estate.
The vice-president, Joseph L. Wiley,
Is the founder of Fessenddh academy,
and the" cashier, F. P. Gadson, is the
owner ot the largest dry goods and
notion Btore owned by a colored man
In the United States. Other directors
are Dr. Williams, a well-to-do physi
cian; A. S. Richardson, D. W. Good
win, Charles Stewart, J. S. LaRoche,
N. T. Brown and S. H. Hadley."
By a deal which was closed last
week and In which a consideration of
$30,000 was Involved, a tract of land
near Thornton, 111., to be used for the
purpose of a negro cemetery, and to
be known by the name of Mount For
est cemetery, was acquired, reports a
Chicago correspondent
In a communication to the Kansas
City Star a correspondent "Lacey,"
writes as follows: "Africa is not the
place for the American negro. As yet
we have not heard enough to warrant
our going there. I don't think the ne
groes of tho United States ohould sac
riflce our fifty years of success here
to start all over In a barren, half-clv-lllzed
country. Here we have our
own churches, schools and colleges.
Now comes Chief Sam and asks us to
break these up, leave all we have
worked for and go back. If Africa
is as rich as Chief Sam suggests it
will not want for others who will seize
Its riches."

persons is entitled to pure air, for
