Negroes and tho Unions,

negroes ana the Unions.
The Federation of Labor of Chicago
recently issued an appeal to negro
workmen to join unions. The impell.
ing cause was the supplanting of white
workers by negroes on account oil
strikes, but the appeal does not con.
denim the negro for this. It simply
urges him to organization as a means
of lettering his own condition, as we'll
as that of his white fellow-worker, set.
ting out that as things are he Is not
merely dragging down the white man.
but is lowering his own condition also
Hence this appeal to come into the
unions and give his assistance and in
return receive support. 1t does not yet
appear that there has been any re-
spouse to the appeal, even in the north
and conditions in the south are such as
to offer little hope there. But the whole
attitude of organized labor is toward
recognition of the black man in this
wise, and 1t has been thus for years.
At the Louisville meeting Of the Amer
lean Federation the delegate from the
British Trade Asser bly, urged that the
negroes be organized; that there
should be no discrimination on account
of color. In England he declared there
was no such discrimination, though, Of
course, the number Of negro workers
there was small. What the ultimate
result of such an effort will be remains
to be seen, but for long years organ
lied labor has turned its face in this
direction, and perhaps it will accom-
plish its purpose. 1t may go far to
help forward a solution of the race

English shoe manufacturers who are
beginning to suffer from American
competition allege that, although the
British workman's daily wages are
only about half as large as those of
the American operative, the labor
cost" of pair Of shoes is fully 25 per
cent more in England than in the
United States. Most Of the RESPONSE
bility, for this fact is laid upon the
British union OF boot and shoe opera
tives, which, it is said, forbids its mem
bers to turn out more than certain
amount of work. Possibly this union
has found the solution to the labor
problem; but the. manufacturers doubt
It. and base their doubt upon the ex-
perience Of the race-that men who
are afraid of doing too much eventual
ly find it hard to get anything to do.

Macaroni seed from Russia is now on
the way to the United States, and is
expected by the agricultural depart
ment to prove the beginning Of new
industry. Experiments already made
go to show that in some parts of the
country these wheats may be grown
to better advantage than anywhere
else in the world. The first thing.
however, must be the erection of maca-
roni factories to handle the crop; and
it is expected that several will be built
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
