minister to Hayti Mr.. Durham shows the
grave injustice and injury done to the
| whole colored race by the system of ex-
clusion practiced by the labor organiza-

pected of the slightest tinge of color is
| permitted to join a trade union, or to work
| in company with union man, throughout
! the United States.
