Mr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington the
guests of honor at a dinner given ~ the Social
Reform Club last night in the Clarendon Hotel. Mr..
Washington spoke on tho negro question. He said
In part:
believe that in slavery the solution Of the prob
lem was really laid. and believe if could have
taken II up just where il left off when slavery
ended II would have been better for our people.

been taught TO De ashamed OF work. and his idea of
nifty years he had been working. and he thought it
people began empty handed This led TO the crop
mortgage system. That has eaten into their morals
well the industrial life of the race Under
that system have known the negroes 10 pay or
70 attempt 70 pay as much as 200 per cent on what
they had borrowed.
Eighty per cent of the people OF the South de-
pend on agriculture for a living, and we began
with that basis We have tried to make our
farm an object lesson 10 those around us The
man who prevents me from working for pay is "a
bad as the man who makes work without paw

that there is nothing in the organization OF the
labor bodies which excludes the colored man. but
by some force, seen or unseen. he is ruled out
The result is that the negro has been driven TO
crime and peculiar condition has arisen in this
respect in some OF the large Northern cities like
New-York and Philadelphia.
Mrs. Washington told of the efforts to improve
the condition OF homes among the negroes in the
South.
