I ABOR IN THE SOUTH.

themselves against white trades u2ion L.
tolerance and proscription-but they have 10
central organization, and are therefore con-
trolled by no unity OF purpose. In nearly all
OF the large Southern ports the longshoremsn
have such organizations, those at Galveston
and New Orleans being particularly strong.
Organization In other occupations must
necessarily follow as a natural result of the
Lowering movement. In the main the Afro
American workmen have the good will and
sympathy Of the employing class, who know
by long experience that they are as COM
petent as workers, and far more trustworthy,
and given less to captious and unusual de-
mands than white laborers.
The 1dea which is persistently insisted
upon, that the Southern white laborer Is
superior creature, superior to the black
laborer in any other than the doubtful matter
or epidemic veneering, is extremely misead-
ing and nonsensical. The average Southern
white laborer differs in nothing from tn,
average Southern black laborer excepting that
he Is whlte and it has been demonstrated
to the satisfaction Of employers that white
men are incapable Of the physical exertion
that black men can put forth in the climate
Of the Southern states.
The real struggle Of the Afro American
as a man and citizen has begun in dead
earnest in the very centers where he is
strongest numerically and in every othe-
way. The conspiracy of the white laborer
of the South against his inherent and 1D CON-
stitutional right of 'life, liberty, and the
pursuit OF happiness" will test his manhood
at every point, and the contest will be
watched by the whole country with the in
terest that Its Importance merits. In how
far such conspiracies as Mr.. Lowering pro-
poses will come in conflict with the Federal
constitution it will be time to ascertain when
his conspiracy has been thoroughly hatched,
Meanwhile the Afro American race should
pray to be delivered from the wise men of
their own race, in and out of the negro
academy, who should know the limitations
and the needs Of their race, but who think,
and preach it, that "the negro does not need
to go to a manual training school to learn
how to work" There is not much else that
he needs to learn at this time
