LABOR MATTERS.

The Right of the Southern Negroes to Or
ganize for Mutual Protection.
CHARLESTON, S. c. Dec. 21-The bill now be-
fore the Legislature to prevent the organization
of colored laborers in the agricultural sections
into Knights of Labor lie causing great commo
ton among the leaders of the colored people of
most intelligent colored preachers Of the State,
has issued an address in which he says that this
bill has for its aim the grinding down and driv
ing to the wall of the negro laborers. In closing
his address Mr.. White says:
sFrom the stand point OF equity considering
the circumstances surrounding all iahorers, the
negro is the most eXcusable in forming organi-
cations of legal kind to better his condition.
Do the white people imagine that by threats
they can keep away from the negroes agents or
organizers, and in this way by force keep them
in this state prevent them being organized
for mutual protectionl If so, they reckon with
out their host. The great drawback to the ne
groes lies in the fact that of their being too
easily satisfied. The Shylocks of this State to-
day are the farmers, who want the crops made
and gathered without paying reasonable price
for labor. They can reduce wages to the lowest
point, and if they asked for Justice it is re-
fused, and when the negroes organize for
tual protection, this is to be pronounced illegal,
and who dares to resist it is to be incarcerated
In prison. Soutn Carollna, your glorious nag
trails in the dust If the white people desire a
contented population of laborers. let them give
the negroes fair treatment. They will have no
desire to go away. No allurement can charm
them away. The truth is. the treatment the
negro laborers are receiving has brought them
into abjeet poverty. No change of condition or
country can bring them to u worse condition,
hence they easily persuaded away by the Sc
ductive promise OF immigration agents. Should
the bill now pending become law. there will be
wholesale migration from the State. There
