A GREAT COTTON STRIKE.

SAYS.

I,roo, 900 Pickers stopped Work
Friday Night and Will Not Re
new II at the Old Price.

HouSroN, Tex, Sept. 12.-Today was
set for the big cotton pickers strike
which is to embrace every state in the
cotton belt. Col. Humphrey, the white
man who has engineered the scheme,
and WHO expects to reap the benefit, said
last night
81 have the names of 100000 pick
ers in all portions of the south who
stopped picking last night until they get
dollar hundred pounds and board.
These men are all under oath to pick no
mans cotton, save their own, until the
first OF November. The movement is
strongest in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. Nearly every colored picker
has Joined the league and in the southern
states the membership is large"
As to how the pckers will exist through
the fall and winter Humphrey says they
have been advised to seek other employ
mcnt at any price, which is utterly i'm
| practicable as the cotton field negroes
could not make much headway in cities
and towns; and if they should strike. 1t
would be Just so many petty thieves
turned loose upon the communities, the
colorcd cotton pickers, as rule, being
the most impoverished and thrittless class
of men on the plantation.
Reports from different sections of south
Texas show that no truabe is anticipated
though there is dissatisfaction among
the darkies of the black belt.
