On Tuesday 18th of December, I gave out s notice concerning Rev. W. W. Browne, the Alpha and Omega of the True Reformers, who was invited to speak at the Union Hall, Dec. 20th. This l kindly did with the understanding that the meeting would be free for all to speak. But soon after I arrived I found out that none would be allowed to speak but those in favor of the “Great 1 Am." This great king began to speak about 8:30 o'clock. He started off and continued so for more than a half hour. Then he began to boycott the people's paper known as the Richmond Planet, and to dominate its editor in the person of Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., the race sufferer, I will now mention some of the things that he said about you and the Planet. “The Planet is a paper made up out lies and you who buy and read it, buy and read lies.” In addition to this he said that he could sell and buy that lying paper and little Johnny was too light for him. REV. BROWNE’S WILD ANTICS. He became so indignant and ungodly until I was somewhat compelled to speak, saying, "The Planet will live." Then he became wild over the matter, so much so that he began to hiss and stretch his eyes at me saying, "if you are for little Johnny, stop talking back to me about the Planet living. This the True Reformers' meeting and if you want to talk you will have to call mass-meeting." PEOPLE LEAVE IN DISGUST. Soon after this, about twenty walked out, and many of them were my members. Then he found out that the grand old Planet had many friends here, that did not ask him any odds. Rev. Browne probably thought that he ever would hear from me again since he made so small of me at his meeting, but I want him to understand that l am representing Jesus and his everlasting church, and l intend to speak my sentiments in the church and through the public press. I know Mr. Browne thinks he is a great philanthropist, but I am sure he is more of a braggart than anything else. Now, Mr. Editor I will tell Rev. W. W. Browne why I said that the Planet will live since he would not allow me to tell him at his meeting. WHY THE PLANET WILL LIVE. First, it will live because it has a liberal and fearless editor. 2nd, It will live because the world knows that it is indispensable. 3rd, It will live because the editor's ability to edit a paper is not limited. 4th. It will live because all of our religious bodies in and out of the state have indorsed its course and are reading it. 5th. It will live because nearly all of the pastors in and out of the state are reading it and advising their people to read it. 6th. It will live because the people know that you want to kill it. 7th. It will live because it is redeeming the Negro from the courts of injustice. 8th. It will live because it is posting the Negroes to look out and beware of the lynchers. 9th. It will live because it is trying to suppress lynch-law. 10th. It will live because I believe God has said so. A STERN REMINDER. Oh! Brother Browne you forgot that the Planet is one of our adopted children. This child was born in Richmond when you were looking for a church in which to preach, but since you found a Society greater and richer than the church in your opinion, now you are fighting the preachers because they will not follow you. Suppose the pastors were to leave the word of God and go about organizing societies like you, what would become of the souls of men? I will answer the question by saying they would fall in Hell. You forgot that you told the people more than fifteen years ago that God had called you to preach. Now you tell us that some one has called you from the Gospel ministry to organize societies and banking institution. Please tell me who called you from the word of God? Now I think if you will let the Planet and its editor alone, you will get your $50,000 much quicker. Now I hope you know why I said that the Planet will live. Rev. W. H.

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18940303&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Business and Industry Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The annual report of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment Association was published in a recent number of The Colored American, and the very excellent showing made by The Fidelity has evoked many favorable comments. In fact the report os a compliment to the management of the company. In these hard times people are careful to invest money in solvent companies, and they are always glad to see a good showing made from the companies in which they are interested. The Fidelity, in keeping with its stern business policy, makes a statement once a year, and has thoroughly educated its forty thousand or more members to scan carefully the facts and figures given. The annual report, dated Dec. 31, 1893, shows that the loans of the investment plan were $62,575.17; the amount returned to members $37,771.37, and on the monthly Building and Loan Association, loans $98,759.68; returned to members $81,019.08, making a total amount of cash received by members, $280,116.64. These figures tell plainer than words what The Fidelity was doing last year they also establish faith in the management and confidence in the ability of the company to pay dollar to every member with an additional 6 per cent. Why shouldn't The Fidelity made a good showing? It is one of the soundest, largest and best companies of the kind in the United States, and is conducted on business principle that are in themselves a guarantee of success. We are inclined to be partial to The Fidelity because of its fair and square dealing. It is a great institution. It treats all of its members alike. It does not raw the color line and discriminates against its colored policyholders as is the case with so many of the big companies. The weekly plan of The Fidelity is another commendable feature; it is an innovation in many respects. The weekly plan gives the poor man an opportunity to invest his money with an equal advantage with the rich man. It enables him to pay by the week or month, and the system of collecting and keeping track of the members and policyholders and the general business is the perfection of the insurance art. The issuing of regular monthly and weekly investment stock is the pride of the company because of its popularity and general acceptance by the people.

Slavin, of Australia, wound up his career of defeat in this country by quitting in the fourth round of his battle with Bob Armstrong, of Chicago, before the Union Park Athletics Club to-night. Armstrong was by no means a star, and if Slavin had been a good second rater he could have disposed of the colored man. The Australian has seen his best days, and was by no means entitled to make the demand he did before he went on. Having signed for a percentage, he was dissatisfied with the house, and endeavored to back out. Armstrong expressed himself as ready to box. After arguments, some of the Australian's friends induced him to stick to his agreement, and he entered the ring at 10:50. Armstrong having been waiting for him therefor nearly fifteen minutes. They shook hands at 11:20. Armstrong weighed 185 and Slavin 178 pounds. Sam C. Austin was referee. Round 1 - After a moment's fiddling Slavin led with the left, but was stopped and countered on the mouth. Every time Slavin tried to land he was stopped by Armstrong's left. The colored man put a right on the body and left on the neck, and sent his man to the floor with a right on the neck. Armstrong punched the Australian right and left, and had him against the ropes when the bell rang. Round 2 - Armstrong shot his long left to the jaw, and easily avoided Frank's awkward rushes. Armstrong rushed, and forced Slavin against the ropes, punching him, while the referee seemed unable to break the men. At last, being separated, they went at it hammer and tongs, clinching all over the ring. Slavin landed his right on the jaw, and both were in distress when the bell rang. Round 3 - Slavin rushed, but got one in the neck from Armstrong's right. Slavin was groggy, but fought back gamely. Armstrong swung right and left on the jaw, and Frank clinched to save himself. Slavin then came in with a couple of hard rights on neck and jaw, and Armstrong was groggy when the bell rang. Round 4 - Armstrong opened with a left on the nose, bringing blood. Slavin got in a hard body blow, but a left on the neck sent him to the floor He got up, and shoved his left three times on the colored man's wind. Armstrong landed some terrific punches and Slavin threw up his hands and quit, after two minutes and fifty-six seconds.

For the benefit of those who have not read fully the history of this strike it would be well to give an account of its cause and it's a fact. This was well was known as a sympathetic strike, or a strike in which the parties directly engaged had no grievances themselves, but struck out of sympathy for others. In this movement, Mr. Eugene V Debs, president of the American Railway Union was the central figure. It seems that the business depression which has been a most prominent accompaniment of President Cleveland's Administration caused a cancellation of car building contracts and a cessation of orders. This led to the discharge or rather the temporary Lay off of two-thirds of the persons employed at Pullman, IL. Other contracts were taken in competition with other car manufacturers and at greatly reduced rates. The Working Man insisted upon the restoration of the old wages which existed prior to November, 1893. The Pullman Sleeping Car Co. declined to accede to this, owing to the reasons hearing set for it. This led to a strike at Pullman... Location Upper Right Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Read the following telegraphic account from New Orleans. the effect of the fall of Richmond, the surrender of Lee could not have been better portrayed than was the feeling which follow the passage of the Democratic tariff bill. Here it is: “The passage of the Wilson tariff bill has thrown a damper on Commercial dealing in New Orleans. At least two-thirds of her population looked to the sugar industry, directly or indirectly, for support and any negotiations That are unfavorable to sugar have a decidedly bad effect on all Commerce. The Sugar Exchange yesterday was in a turmoil, the members declaring that the industry would be ruined by adverse legislation, that 3 sugar will close down 19 out of 20 sugar plantations in this State, and New Orleans will practically die a commercial death. Great Hopes are entertained by New Orleans Merchants that the free sugar amendments will not become a law and many still cling to the forlorn hope that the Bounty for the crop of 1894 will be paid, but the majority have given up all hopes of getting even A fractional part of this bounty.” When will the South consider its pocket rather than its prejudices when election time comes around?

Struggle Will Continue Recognition of Union Proved the Stumbling Block. Federal Troops Demanded The President urged the contending parties to end the conflict and the labor leaders suggested arbitration, but the mine owners refused to accept, saying that if the men returned to work grievances would be submitted to judges of Pennsylvania Courts. Washington, Oct. 4.-- The great coal conference between the president and representatives of the operators and the miners came to an end at the temporary White House, facing Lafayette Square, at 4.55 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with a failure to reach an agreement. Apparently the rock upon which the conference split was recognition of the Miners' Union. The president had urged the contending party to end the strife in the interests of the public welfare; the miners through the president of their union had expressed a willingness to submit differences to arbitration for a period of from one to five years, and the employers through the presidents of the railway and coal companies and a leading independent mine operator had squarely refused arbitration, had denounced the miners' labor organization as a lawless and anarchistic body with which they could and would have no dealings, had demanded federal troops to ensure complete protection to workers and their families in the mining region and court proceedings against the miners' union, and had offered if the men returned to work to submit grievances at individual collieries to the decision of the judges of the court of common pleas for the district of Pennsylvania in which the colliery was located. There the matter closed. The President's Appeal. At the morning session President Roosevelt addressing the conference said: "I wish to call your attention to the fact that there are three parties affected by the situation in the anthracite trade: The operators, the miners, and the general public. I speak for neither the operators nor the miners, but for the general public. The questions at issue which led to the situation affect immediately the parties concerned-- the operators and the miners; but the situation itself vitally affects the public. I disclaim any right or duty to interfere in this way upon legal ground or upon any official relation that I bear to the situation; but the urgency and the terrible nature of the catastrophe impending over a large portion of our people in the shape of a winter fuel famine impel me after much anxious thought to believe that my duty requires me to use whatever influence I personally can to bring an end a situation which has become literally intolerable. "In my judgment the situation imperatively requires that you meet upon the common plane of the necessities of the public. With all the earnestness there is in me, I ask that there be an immediate resumption of operations in the coal mines in some such way as will without a day's unnecessary delay meet the crying needs of the people. "I do not invite a discussion of your respective claims and positions. I appeal to your patriotism, to the spirit that stinks personal considerations and makes individual sacrifices for the general good." Mitchell Suggests Arbitration. Upon the completion of the president's remarks Mr. Mitchell made a statement, as follows: "Mr. President, I am much impressed with what you say. I am much impressed with the gravity of the situation. We feel that we are not responsible for this terrible state of affairs. We are willing to meet the gentlemen representing the coal operators to try to adjust our differences among ourselves. If we can not adjust them that way, Mr. President, we are willing that you shall name a tribunal who shall determine the issues that have resulted in the strike, and if the gentlemen representing the operators will accept the award or decision of such a tribunal the miners will willingly accept it, even if it is against their claims." President Roosevelt then asked the operators to consider the proposition and meet again at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Upon reassembling, Mr. Baer spoke as follows: "Mr. President, do we understand you correctly that we will be expected to answer the proposition submitted Mr. Mitchell?" The President: "It will be a pleasure to me to hear any answer that you are willing to make." Mr. Baer: "I have prepared an answer." Mr. Baer's Statement. The following is the text of Mr. Baer's statement: "To the President of the United States: "We understand your anxiety is forcibly expressed in the statement you read to us this morning to bring about in immediate resumption of operations in the coal mines in some such way a will without a day's unnecessary delay meet the crying needs of the people." We infer that you desired us to consider the offer of Mr. Mitchell, expressing and speaking for the United Mine Workers, to go back to work, if you would appoint a commission to determine the questions at issue. "We represent the owners of coal mines in Pennsylvania. There are from 15,000 to 20,000 men at work mining and preparing coal. They are abused, assaulted, injured and maltreated by the United Mine Workers. They can only work under the protection of armed guards. Thousands of other workmen are deterred from working by the intimidation, violence and crimes inaugurated by the United Mine Workers, over whom John Mitchell, whom you invited to meet you, is chief.

Va. Journal states the miners’ side of the question in an admirable manner when it says: The average miner in the Flat Top coal field, when he does honest room and work and runs no risks of falling slate makes an average of 38 cars of coal per month - that is two ton mining cars. For this he receives seventy-five cents a car, or $28.50 per month. If he is a married man his bill expenses to the company amounts to the following: Doctor bill, $1.00; house rent, $6.00; blacksmith, 50 cents; powder, $5.50; oil, 60 cents; squibs and paper, 20 cents; coal, $1.00; Total, 14.30. Now suppose he gets docked once or twice for sulphur found or slate or light car. What has he left for provisions and clothes? Simply nothing. No change for education or incidental expenses. Now comes the rub when the railroad company seeks to subject these figures to a twenty percent reduction. It beats brick making in Egypt. It has been demonstrated that in order to defraud, three and four ton-cars have been built and the miners forced to fill them at the price of a two ton car. These outrages against labor cannot forever continue and the effectiveness of labor organizations will be time and again demonstrated even though they lose in on or more contests.

Mr. Mitchell, as a delegate for his bank, attends the Conventions of the American Bankers’ Association, and has taken part in the debates for the past two years; he is a shrewd, modest and unassuming man, well posted in his business, and does not hesitate to speak his mind freely at the meetings. In Washington his remarks at the meeting of the Savings Bank Section were picturesque and quite apropos, and were well received. We are sure that our readers will be pleased to hear again from Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell’s interesting communication shows that twelve savings banks whose depositors are solely colored people are now in operation in the South, a fact not generally known here, which is a very gratifying showing; it speaks volumes for the progress of our colored brethren, and we earnestly hope that they will persevere in the ways of self-denial and thrift; it is only through such and similar means that the ever-recurrent negro problem will be finally settled.
