Let us devote little attention to sill

metal itself. Everybody is talking upon
the question, nearly everybody has
views upon it, and you and l, reader,
may hold such utterly diverse opinions
concerning it that if we were to discuss
it we might fall out and fight. But there
can be no possibility of row over con-

a Movement is Begun in Chicago to Form
National Organization.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31-A movement is on
foot to form a national association of col
ored stenographers. A meeting for this
purpose has been called for next Wednes-
day at Bowers hall, 2814 State street
The originator of the movement is Miss
Pearl B Jones'
"There are about 200 colored steno-
graphers in the United States" said Miss
Jones yesterday. "They are barred from
white organizations, and it ls hard for
them to secure positions after spending
time and money to become experts. I
think that this difficulty could be over
come to a great extent by their organic
ing into an association. It will secure
positions for members and assist those
who are unemployed"
