He puts his faith in the Bible. He
then gave a humorous description of
the average negro church, their meth
DDS of lifting collection, carrying on
revivals, and the getting of religion.
The church, said he, is often an ad-
vertising bureau, pOstOffice, intelli
gence bureau, social gathering, amuse-

Mrs. Rosa d. Bowser, of Richmond,

the colored women were not idle, but

One of the most interesting papers
of the Conference was by Mrs. Daniel
Murray, of Washington, on the kinder

were said at the recent Montgomery
Conference, he believed that the trend
of opinion was favorable to negro edu-
cation and Development He thought
that race prejudice was not altogether
an unmixed evil. 1t gives us difficult
tie, 10 overcome and harder problems
to solve.
The first business was the report Of
the Committee on Business and Labor.
The report was read by Mr.. Andrew
F. IIiIyer, of Washington, who had
made a thorough investigation of the
negro in the skilled trades for the
Paris Exposition. Mr.. Hilyer reported
that he found colored skilled work
men engaged in every trade and oc-
cupation in which white men are en-
gagged He visited 81 firms and plants
who are the largest employers of col
The colored American., 1900-07-28

ored labor in the Southern States.
These plants employed 1880 males and
1920 females; 5,017, or "a per cent. of
the males, earn $1.00 day and above;
1,719, or % per cent, earn $3.50 per
day and above, and 572, Or 7.3 per
cent, earn $500 per day and above.
Outside Of the building trades, the
largest number of skilled workmen is
TO be found in the iron industry. Col
ored men hold responsible positions as
furnacemen, cupola tenders, as mould
erS. puddlers and rollers in the iron
foundries. Many colored girls are en-
ployed in the cigar factories and in the
Charleston cotton mill, and in shirt
factories. The employers of all classes
of cOlored labor reported that the col
ored labor was giving good satisfac-
lion. The report concludes as follows:
In every industry conducted in the
Southern States skilled colored work
men have established themselves in
every branch. They are increasing in
numbers and gaining in skill and eff
ticipncy"
The personal investigation of other
members of the committee brought to
light many facts that are not gener-
ally known as to the numbers and effi-
cheney of colored workmen. The feel
ing was often expressed that the time
has come for the colored people them
selves to become employers. There is
great demand for captains Of indus
try to organize this labor. The Rev.
Matthew Anderson, Of Philadelphia,
the President of the Berean Building
and Loan Association, of that city, said
he believed that the only true means
lor the cOlOred man to get a footing in
large business enterprises was to com,
h.nr with white men. He believed
tina, the association of white and col
ored men as officers and directors
would encourage a more wholesome
leelng between the races and enable
each TO understand the other better.
ha. said he, the inception Of such I'M
drraldngS should spring from the col
oIet man himself. This was one OF
L. new ideas injected into the, Con-
terence, and semed to meet with the
approval of the majority of those pres

DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir-The bottle of Pe-ru-na at

soon made nervous. Amy remedy to effect

ham is one of our most polished speak
erS. His address abOunded in spark
ling wit, humor, philosophy and COM
mon sense. He advised that the col
ored people study good manners; that
they study their environments and pre-
pare themselves thoroughly to do the
work that this environment requires of
them. His address was a masterly
plea for the same educational facilities
that the whites enjoy. He protested
with vigor against the present trend
of thought among the rulers of the
country to restrict the education of col
ored youth to the mere rudiments of
an education, with industrial training.
Each one of these papers and ad-
dresses was followed by able discus
sions from the floor, during which
many different phases Of the subject
were brought out.
The following are the most important
Of the suggestions made by the Com
mittee on Resolutions:
That there be careful state supervis.
ion of all negro public schools; that
the school term be heightened and bet
ter schools be provided, and that the
colored youth be provided with every
educa tional facility that the white peo-
pie have.
That kindergartens be established
throughout the South in connection
with the public school system.
That colored women continue to de-
vote themselves with energy to the bet
terment of home conditions among the
masses of the race.
That land companies be formed
among the negroes and homes secured
as rapidly as possible, the purchasers
being careful to see that their deeds
are recorded.
That a conference of colored physi-
clans and trained nurses be held in
connection with the next Hampton
Conference to consider questions re-
specting the sanitary conditions of the
race.
That the colored people seek to d.
versify their industrial pursuits and
seize every opportunity to make them
selves intelligent, reliable and indispen-
sable factors in the occupations requir-
ing skilled labor, aliying themselves
with the trades unions wherever prac-
ticable.
That they insist with increasing EN-.
phasis upon intelligence, uublemlshed

on the excessive negro mortality in
cities and towns, and laid down some
simple rules for the improvement of
the sanitary and hygienic con-

care and attention to the chill

fact that tuberculosis was catching"

out, and separation of infected persons

The report of the Committee on Re.

OF Washington, told of several efforts
to save young colored men being put
forth by white men of the South. Mr..
Grimke also showed from his investi
cations that drunkenness was compar-
atiyely rare among colored men in
comparison with white men, and that
1t was not on the increase, and that
few of them drink to such an extent
as to have it interfere with their work.
