SOUTH FEARS NEGRO PosTMEN

Danger in Their Crossing Threshold,
Il Sayc Reaton McMil!in.
Washington, May Eek Governor
Benton McMillin. of Tennessee, ,indorses
what Representative Gaines of that
state says as to the fear of letting Il
| colored letter carrier cross the thres-
hold of their homes. Mr.. McMillin
says:
There is no part of the north in
which negro official Is persona grata,
and in many sections he is not even
acceptable as laborer, although the
south readily accepts him as such. 1t
| is also true that this same spirit q
mean where negro officialism is con-
cerned) is SO far characteristic of the
south, that when the father, husband
or son is away from home, they are
not anxious to have a negro official
go TO the house and cross the thres-
hold, either to deliver mail or for any
other purpose. When the father, hus-
band or son is at home, they are abund-
antly able to defend the home, but when
compelled to be absent they are, at
least, anxious that the law shall not
send anyone across the threshold who
by any possibility could be an in
truder or an invader of the sancity OF
the home"

the manifestly unfair injunction s the
later but more subtle propo rs of
compulsory arbitration and es un-
ion Incorporation. These = .e mis-
chievous schemes are no Afore us.
The former. 1t must be s mitted, is
an accomplished fact ar daily oper-
ated. They are all des q d and taken
advantage of for the 5 pose of con-
fusing and absolutely controlling the
laborer in order to obtain larger and
still larger proportion of the wealth
he produces, and are aimed to reduce
the wage Garner to condition of docil-
ity and servility."
President Holder stated In his adj
dress that the invincible remedies are
at hand, and he advised better organic
alton and more education. He would
have more organizers to accomplish
better organization. He urged that no
opportunity should be lost to have
public discussion of labor problems
and that the platforms of the unions
should be open forums for discussion.
He urged Libraries in reading rooms
filed with volumes that will arouse
thought. Instead of having one Sam
uel Gompers or one John Mitchell or
one Edgar Clark in the ranks of or
ganized labor he said. "let US bend our
efforts to fill every local union with
such intrepid leaders and deliberate
calculators and the result will be sure,
certain and safe" When once the Ia
borers learn how to think hard he de-
clared they would learn how to vote
right. They will be able to clearly
=; f.1c for feyS
and real friends Continuing he said:
Demand and insist that the labor
question be made the paramount issue
of all party platforms. Accept no dodg-
ing and no evasion. Stand pat for the
principle that labor wants and will have
a larger share of the wealth it creates
until we get it all. When once this line
of action is individually resolved upon
and we place our own men on guard in
public affairs, all the terrors of injunc-
tions, compulsory arbitration, or any
other modern device to cajole or ex-
plot the laborers will vanish into thin
air, and all classes of society with an
honest intent, whether they be directors
or artisans, will view the future With
satisfaction and content"
President Holder in conclusion ar
gued some matters of state legislation.
He would have very stringent child
labor law forbidding the employment
of children under Id years in any occu-
patton for gain. He would have the
education law amended by
requiring attendance for the full term
of school each year instead of 12 weeks
He would have amendments to the
factory inspection and safety appliance
laws that would provide for better in
spection and concentration of authority
He would have in addition to a corps of
factory inspectors number of boiler
for the state.

the number OF living sisters, multiply

Ratification of the Treaty-costa

Used as Club.

Washington, May 12.-Dr. Thomas
Herran, Colombian charge d'affaires
here. said today he had not been ad-
vised by his government that Presi-
dent Marroquin had resigned, as re-
ported in the dispatches from Panama.
II it shall appear shortly that the
Columbian government is unwilling to
consImate the treaty, or is disposed
to defer final action beyond the ''reas-
enable time" mentioned in the Spooner
act. the state department will at once
endeavor to reopen negotiations with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with a view
to securing control of an alternate
tries. ! 1t is said by parties to the ne
gotiations IL they are resumed it will
he upon the distinct understanding that
the United States government definitely
abandons the Panama route. So much
Ill feeling was excited in Nicaragua
after the protocols had been drawn
leading to it's acquisition that the resi-
dent ministers of the two countries
here are very loath to take up the sub
ject again without an express agree
ment that they are not to be used to
club the Colombian government into
terms.
Officials here, however, feel very con-
fident it will not be necessary to resort
again to the Nicaragua route, for they
believe the present difficulties in the
Panama negotiations are solely attri-
butable to the efforts on the part of
Colombians to make the most Of the
opportunity to induce the Panama
