TiIlman,s View Upheld.

\ special correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, who has been making
a tour of the south with a view of
presenting the race situation just as
it is, voices his convictions in man
ner that fully sustainS the contention
of Senator Tillman in his speeches on
the subject. Writing from Washing
ton the Tribune's correspondent, in
yesterdays issue, says:
with all its iniquities, with all its
injustice to the black man, the politi-
cal situation in the south is one
which should not be rashly disturb
ed. Go slow is the best possible
motto for statesmen both north and
south when dealing with any of the
curious political aspects of the race
question. By this / do not mean that
there is not great opportunity for inn
provement, because there is. / do
mean to say, however, that the north
ern enthusiast or the southern con-
servative who assumes rashly to dis
turb existing political conditions in
the south must take the responsible
ty. perhaps, of infiicting vast harm
upon the entire country.
Il have become deeply impressed, in
studying the negro question, with the
idea that the southern man is too
close to the negro and the northern
man too far away. Somewhere be-
tween these two widely different
points of view must be found ulti-
mately the solution of the negro pro-
blem.
AT the present time that
problem is so complex, it
has so many curious ramifi-
cations. it involves so many side is
sues it concerns such vast interests
for the welfare of mankind itself,
that it should be approached only
with great deliberation. Southern
people are absurdly touchy on the
negro question, but, on the other
hand, northern people are prone to
apply to the south strict rules of abb
stract justice which would never OBJ
tain in the north. There is no posi-
BILE doubt of the fact that if in New
York or Illinois half or two-thirds of
the people were black men the white
contingent would rule them none the
less. and it would probably do it by
methods quite as repugnant to ordin-
ary ethics as anything which has
been adopted in the southern states.
Il do not believe any intelligent,
fair-minded. and liberal northern man
can spend even a few months in an
exclusive investigation of the race
question without becoming convinced,

PIT BROW WOMEN.
Hard Lot of Female Workers About
English Coal Mines.


English Coal Mines.
Pit brow E0men are among the most
remarkable women workers in the
world. They work as hard as men and
dress almost like them. Five thousand
of these women find employment in
Lancashire. England, in the coal mines.
Their work lies on the pit brow at the
surface and not down below Once wo-
men were employed in the coal seams,
but in 1912. in the face of great oppO-
sition from cOlliery owners, an act was
passed prohibiting women and children
from being employed below the surface
in coal mines.
At present the duties of the pit brow
women consist in dealing with the coal
as it comes up the shaft to the pit head.
When the cargo reaches the top they
haul out the wagons, which contain
several hundredweight of coal each,
and run them on the rails to a sort OF
tipping machine. which shoots the coal
down below to the screen of the rid
ding machine. Among the other du-
ties OF the women is the leveling of the
coal on the wagons which receive ii as
ii drops from the screen.
They start work at o'clock in the
morning and finish at in the after
noon. They receive shillings or less a
day, and men that do the same work
get shillings. Their costume consists
of trousers and clogs and often enough
Il cape which has at one time been
worn by brother. When going to
and from work the girls and women
wear petticoatS, which they roll up
around the waist while engaged on
the pit brow. The hair is closely GOV
cred with n handkerchief, on top OF
which is Il soft bonnet.
