ROUSTAB0UT PROBLEM
WORRIES BOAT OWNERS.
Negroes at Memphis Refuse to Work
Even for S125 a Month and Board,
Declaring They should Get More.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Memphis. Tenn, Oct S-The rousta-
bout problem has become a very serious
one with the owners OF Mississippi River
steamboats, running out of this city.
For weeks there has been q steadily
growing inclination on the part Of the
negroes. to whom alone this work is reie-
gated in the South. to demand higher
RACES merging into a positive refusal. at
times. to work on the boats at any price.
The consequence has been that schedules
have been interrupted. shipping delayed
and river men generally put to great In
convenience and loss.
During the past week prices nave been
offered running as high as Slg per month
and board for roustabout labor, and 1t
was with the greatest difficulty and with
scanty crews that the boats were able
to get out at that On October Il the
boat captain offered $ a day to the ne
groes, to induce them to handle the
freight on his boat, and they turned from
him and walked on up the wharf refusing
to go out at that price. It is stated that
to-day there will be not less than $50
rousters required to properly handle the
freight on incoming and outgoing boats.
Inc there will not. probably. be more
than half that lumber on the wharf. Ant
out OF those who visit the wharf. many
will probably refuse to work.
The experiment Of replacing the negroes
with white labor has been tried. but
proved Intellectual. The white roustabouts
brought down from the North became dig
contented and struck after a short while,
leaving the boats more completely than
before at the mercy of the negroes.

Yes At the time OF the Franco-Prus-

To-day there are more working at In
dustrial pursuits than upon the farms,
and the farm population steadily de-
