Student Name Carlos Serrano Summary A recent report of a loan company in Richmond shows that it has not discriminated by race when granting loans, known as redlining. 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.

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.

Republican tariff bill which Bears the name McKinley was repealed last week and a Democratic tariff Bill takes its place. One would have thought that a cry of exultation would from one section of the country to the other, but the contrary is true. 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?

Student Name Cord Fox Summary The Brooklyn Street-Car Strike comes to an end, but at a significant cost to the company. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18950202.1.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Business and Industry Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The great Brooklyn Street-Car Strike is about ended, and the company won, as must have been apparent from the first that it would do. Its victory, however has been costly, and the lesson taught on both sides should tend to show all parties the necessity for conservatism and the settlement of affairs of this kind by arbitration. The company was unwilling to do this, and as a result lost thousands of dollars, which will aggregate more money than the increase of wages in question amounted to. The strikers are heavy losers. Besides the consequent loss of life, they in common with the people of New York state must bear the expense entailed in the transportation and maintenance of troops in the riotous district. The decision of Judge Gaynor that the companies owe a duty to the public first and the stockholders afterwards and accordingly must operate their lines and furnish service required under their charters is good law. He asserted that these companies must secure the labor necessary for the fulfilling of their contracts with the city, even though they have to pay more for it. If they saw fit to get cheaper labor, they could do so, but not to the detriment of the service guaranteed the public. On the other hand, the city and state are under obligations to afford protection and see to it that the companies are not prevented from carrying out the stipulations in their charters by lawless parties. We cannot understand how the striking motor –men and conductors could hope to win in the face of the financial depression and universal poverty existing throughout the country. Able-bodied men in other sections were on the verge of starvation and the companies knew it. The terms offered were so much in excess of the nothing which they were receiving that they were ready to risk life and limb in order to secure it. It will be a long time in the future before the line between capital and labor will be properly defined. One of the leaders of the strike declared that the government ownership of the railway lines would be the only proper solution of the problem. The doctrine is to an extent socialistic and yet we doubt not, but what during the next generation some such plan may be put on foot which will lead to the operation of the roads upon the same principle that the post-office department is handled. This can only come, however, by legislation of such a character as to make the operation of the many lines unprofitable to capitalists who will hasten to sell out to the government rather than suffer further loss.

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.

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.

Alexander Chiles, the leading Negro lawyer in central Kentucky, is building up a business of considerable proportions. When Mr. Chiles came here some four years ago, it was generally said that a colored lawyer couldn't make it in Lexington, and so about all the Negroes thought, and young white lawyers, who at first felt jelous of Mr. Chiles, began to chuckle in their sleeves because Negroes seemed to have no confidence in an intelligent man of their race, and these lawyers reaped the harvest. It was even suggested that Mr. Chiles’ color would bias the courts in their decisions and prejudice the juries against his clients. Knowing the poverty, the Negroes’ lack of confidence in a Negro, and believing Mr. Chiles to be a good and useful man, some of his friends advised him to leave the city or seek another calling. But the brave little Virginian was not made that way and he stayed. He opened an office right in heart of Legal Row, threw out his shingle, and like the spider, awaited his time. One case in court convinced the public that Mr. Chiles was a first class lawyer, and that the court and jury had due regard for him as such, and with a few more cases, in which he displayed an unselfish interest in his clients and exhibited the strictest honesty, his practice grew, and to-day he is busy all the time looking after the business interests of nearly all the leading Negroes of the city and county. Everybody has confidence in Mr. Chiles now as a business man and lawyer, and he is doing his race great good and making some money for himself. This is right.
