Dr. George E. Haynes,Director o f Negro Economies,Hampton Institute,Hampton, Va.

Ly dear Dr. Haynes:

j?or your information the following is quoted from the "Labor & Industrial Journal" - issue o f July 3, 1920 - Seattle, Wash.:

"THE HELD AMD THE NEGRO

This work among the negroes has not been neglected; it has been widely, cleverly , and zealously pushed.Among those identified with revolutionary propaganda it is known as 'planting black dynamite'- a phrase which is highly descriptive. Because nearly a ll

o f the negroes are citizens of the United States, as are most o f the Communist missionaries among them, it is d iff icu lt to take any decisive action

. to check this dangerous form o f propaganda. The aliens who foment revolution can be got at quite d irectly - but under present laws the revolutionist is able to hide rather safely behind the shield of his citizenship. This is why the I . W. W. has been able to achieve so large a growth; it is mainly an organization o f American citizens.

EORREST GUIDEEY in The Saturday Evening Post.

There is no more damning evidence o f this menace than the peddling o f this 'Black Lynamite." You only need to pick up a copy o f JThe Messenger,' the Wobbly paper for the colored man, to see it working overtime in every edition. Can any white man honestly t e l l himself that we are ill-tre a tin g the negro? On the contrary we can see for ourselves colored citizens o f this Democracy, educated, in telligent, and wealthy in every town and v illage .Whatever the crimes o f our forefathers in this respect, and they were universal in their time and place, our c iv iliza tion has made

„ more than fu ll amends.

We defy any well read man or woman to show us another country where the colored man has advanced to the position he holds in the United States.

He has colleges, apartment houses o f the most luxurious type, farms, business in stores and o ff ice s , automobiles, in fact a ll


Quotation - continued:

the rights, enjoyments, privileges and advantages o f the American horn white man.

To s t ir up this hideous racial animosity, and urge every negro to hate his fellow man is only one more vivid demonstration of the lengths to which the disciples o f Comrade Lenine w ill go.

T.Ve would have the colored man always remember this: ?or everypersecuted slave in the South a white boy la id down his l i f e to make him free. The white man paid for his mistakes with blood, treasure and endless suffering.

The least you owe this flag is the pure devotion of the patriot, and i f you ever do put up that Red Rag you w ill be right back where you began - chained to the job like the poor slaves in Russia, and the lash of Lenine w ill be more b itter than the whip o f Simon Legre."

Rxact quotation ends;


Jose twenty-nine, nineteen hundred twenty.

liy dear Sr. Haynes:

hiss Anderson has Just teleghoned regarding a note received from you In which you request an appointment, at Hew York, fo r Prlday, the 2d proximo.

My dear Dr. Haynes:

The following is quoted from le tter o f Mr. R. W. Cheek, Editor o f the "Independent", Box 277, West Raleigh, N. C.:

"Please advise us regarding the National Thrift Society and whether i t is possible for us to secure ’Thrift S lid es '. Our plan is to use these slides in illustrating lectures touching the economic conditions o f our people. Any information you may give us w ill be appreciated."

This o ff ice replied sis follows:

"We are making every e ffo rt to seoure the information asked for in your le tte r o f the 9th instant, and shall hope to write you in reply thereto within the next few days."

Since that time, I have combed Washington, through govemental and private sources, for the information sou^it by Mr. Cheek but can find nothing.

Perhaps the Interchurch Movement f i le s in your immediate o ff ice can supplement what you already may know about National Thrift, etc Will you not write Mr. Cheek direct, sending third copy to thi3 o f f ic e for f i le s .

P. S. Mr. Cheek was especially kind to me when I was in Raleigh. Doubtless you also know him very well.

He says this report should be gotten out In concrete form and made ready for early release throughout the Country.

He says, also, that you should begin at onoe to prepare a b ill for the perpetuation and permanency of the Division of Negro Economics. This b ill , he says, should be introduced In Congress at the very earliest date and that all feasible aotlon looking to Its passage should be taken, so that on March 3, when the present arrangements hstre oeased, moneys shall have been appropriated to carry forward the work from that date and during the future fisoal years.

He says that he wants to see you without fail the next time you are here. X understand that you will be here on the 16th. It is possible that on the 17th, 18th ant 19th I shall be taking some examinations, for whloh X male application sometime ago.

My dear Dr. Haynes:

The enclosure is self-explanatory. Further, in this connection, Hr. Sherman and Hr. Howe have expressed great pleasure and gratification over your going out to Truxton. Hr. Sherman says i f you w ill telephone Mr. Thomas C. Cahill, Town Manager, Craddock, he w ill send out auto to Portsmouth or Norfolk to meet you. Have advised Hr. McCracken to be on lookout fo r you. No doubt he is closely connected up with Hr. Cahill’ s o f f ic e . •

Ur. Georgo K. Haynes,Director of Negro Jconaaics,Holly Tree inn, - Hampton institute,Gamp t. an, Virginia,

Ity door Dr. ifaynee:

The enclosurec are eelf-ex^tlanaiojy. Apparently they wore sent out without the approval of this office. Inasmuch as ay first lwprGGo i on bespeaks the damper o f the oft-repeated "propaganda" charge agaiiiat Negro Loonowics, the quasi federal invasion of the p o lice power o f a state, the doubt o f whether or not the aation was within -the scope o f the ju risd iction o f the Deportment o f Labor, and tho fact that the uollar-eryear appointments ceased an June 30, 1919, 1 am hastening this matter to yon in case you think any advice is necessury.

Of court.a, fit*. Moore’ s fa ith was good, fo r the last request of this of f ioo was to ask him to continue.

Yours very truly,

Assistant to the Director of Negro idooaomios.
