ored labor in the Southern States.
These plants employed 7,760 males and
l.G2O females; 5,017, or 81 per cent. of
the males, earn $1.O0 day and above;
l,719, or % per cent, earn $3.50 per
day and above, and 572, or 7.3 per

Outside OF the building trades, the
largest number of skilled WOrkmen is
to be found in the iron industry. Col
ured men hold responsible positions as
furnacemen, cupOla tenders, as mould
erS, puddlers and rollers in the iron
f0undrieS. Many cOlOred girls are en-
pl0yed 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-
ton 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
fc.ency"
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

Matthew Anderson, OF Philadelphia,
the President of the Berean Building
and Loan Association, of that city, said
he believed that the only true means
for the cOlOred man to get footing IN
large business enterprises was TO com,
h.ur with white men, He believed
Jhat the association of white and col
ored men as officers and directors
would encourage a more wholesome
feeling between the races and enable
each to understand the other better.

many different phases Of the subject
were brought out.
The following are the most important
of the suggestions made by the Com

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
educational 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 di-
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, allying themselves
with the trades unions wherever prac-

The report of the Committee on Re-
llgi0n and Ethics, by Rev f. J. Grimke,
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-
atlYely 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.

on the excessive negro mortality in
cities and towns, and laid down some
simple rules for the Improvement of

fact that tuberculosis was catching"

the Latin scientific course, are tied for
fourth place with the same average.
Victor Thayer, of the English course.
is sixth, and Miss Isabella Graves, of
the commercial course, has the re-
naming honor.
The competition has been very close
all through the course, and the first
five winners of honors were all con-
sidered very likely candidates for the
valedictory. This class will number 105
and is the largest that ever graduated
from the Scranton High school. the
English and commercial courses being
especially large.
The class is practically the first
which really represents the work OF
the High school, as the members en-
tered the school as freshmen and went
through the full course, as contrasted
with the members of the former classes
who entered either as seniors, juniors
or sophomores, having received their
first years training in either the old
High school, or some of the prepara-
tory schools throughout the city.
