CHICAGO. March GA negro mass
meeting was held Sunday night to con-
slider the feeling among colored citizens.
Rev. George James, pastor of the Bethel
African Methodist church, of Chicago, in
an interview yesterday stated that the
negroes no longer loved this country, and
consider the United States government
their worst enemy. Frank A. Dennison,
the colored assistant city prosecutor, in a
counter interview, pronounces the refusal
to sing America disgraceful. F. l.. Bar
nett, colored attorney, said permanent
organization would probably be formed
here to employ delegates to investigate
the lynchings in the South and bring the
perpetrators to justice.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 29.-The grand
jury, after examining fifty witnesses, was
unable to return indictments for the
lynching Of the negro prisoners recently.

4 CURIOTS ALLIANCE.

The great strikes during the last year and
the votes cast at the recent election. may not
improbably open the way to better knowledge
Of the relations between labOrcrS and employ
crs 1t begins TO be understood that the strikes
were sustained by exceptionally well paid work
erS. As soon a il was generally known what
wages these workers were demanding. and how
they were sustained BY many labor organiza-
tiOnS on the theory that the policy Of the Gov
ernment ought TO secure practically whatever
wages workers chose TO ask, two distinct eff
fccs were perceived. There were some en-
ployerS of labor in cities and towns who began
to think that it was better TO stop the advance
in wages, even though at the cost of some
arrest Of National growth and development.
There were also many farmers who began to
doubt whether the National policy did not rem
der their labor too costly Thus three dis
tinct bodies of men voted together against that
National policy some farmers because il raised
WAGES some employers in cities and towns
bc,a it raised wages more than they wished
and some wagc-earncrS because it did not raise
wages as much aS they wished.
Men thus opposed in interests and aims do
not hold together long, but the consequences
Of their temporary corporation may last much
beyond the corporation itself One Of these
consequences is that the farmers may have an
experience of cheaper labor with smaller de-
mand for their products. 1t docs not occur to
some of them, apparently, that transfer of
a million persons from other pursuits to manu-
featuring within the last ten years has enor-
mouSly increased the demand for everything
produced on the farms, and that the closing of
shops and mills, sending back many of these
millions to other pursuits, would lessen that
demand. Neither do they perceive, it would
seem. that the advance Of 40 per cent in wages
of manufacturing labor means that the man
who formerly had 500 to spend in the pur-
chase Of things for himself and his family now
has $500 TO exDend in the same time. and if
