 IT would not seek to hold from you the fact that complaint is often made woI,aen cannot be depended upon for re- Isl.abIe service. It is said that many win work until they get a little money. and then they cease working until that has been expended or gets away in riotous living; that I. an excursion pr carap meeting is tc occur. regardless of the effect upon the employers busi- senss. the negro will leave his work and eu on the exaursion or to the camp injecting.

 T have spoken os she industrial op- portunities that are open to our people l in every section If the South, With l equal emphasis and confidence am ! speaking of the business opportunities | into which we can safely enter In | every city and town of any size find 8 | few colored people who are owning and ! operating stores and other branches If business, and almost without exception | the men In charge of these enterprises | tell me that they receive the same ac- cancellations from the banks, the same | opportunities in the way of credit from | the wholesale business houses. that are | extended to their write neighbors In | business. This is another condition | that does not obtain In so large de. l gree outside of the South. Further.
