A Litt e Spiritualist Trouble
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, 111. Oct. 23 —Do spirits
d aw the color line? That ques
tion came up last Wednesday at
the Convention of the National
Spiritualist Association when a
movement for segregation of the
colored members of the order was
started. Fight over the proposi
tion from all angles ensued.
Apparently a majority of the
delegates believed there was no
Mason Dixon line in the astral
for the long battle ended
with the matter tabled, and the
chairman, President George B.
Warne, thr atoning to the sergeant
alarms if the hubbub did not
subside.
All spooks look alike, so far as
color is concerned, colored mem
bers asserted, and they contended
there are no Jim Cruw arrange
ments in heaven.
Proponents of segregation held
that only by eliminating the col
ored spiritualists could ths nation
al organization carry its propa
ganda into the South.
