Driving Out the Negro.

An Associated Press dispatch,
printed in the morning papers OF
Thursday last, stated that the I'm
ion Pacific Railway company is
contemplating putting into their
dining car kitchens white chefs in
stead of the colored men it now
employees. No particular reason is
assigned for the change, except
that perhaps it will be possible to
obtain a higher grade of service
from the whites. Which is a mat
ter of opinion, or rather of taste,
just as choice between French and
American cooking as matter of
taste. Some people prefer the Ne
gro chef because he looks more be-
coming in the kitchen than the
white man, while his steaks and
cakes are not of inferior quality.
But the significance of this dis
patch is the fact that the Negro is
being driven from place which
has given thousands of his race
lucrative employment for great
many years. To him "the white
peril is of infinitely greater mo-
ment at the present time than 1.-The
yellow peril" is to us. Gradually
he sees his living being taken
from him without replacing it with
some other means of livelihood.
The next change may remove the
black porter from his place and
then the Negro will be pretty
much adrift, with no prospects of
permanent compensation in any
calling The question is really of
more vital importance to both
black and white than one might
imagine from an Indifferent read
ing of that simple dispatch. The
truth is that all through the South
ern states the tendency to reject
the Negro and employ cheap white
labor in his stead is becoming very
marked. In the mill towns of Vir-
ginia, where the work a few years
ago was done almost entirely by
Negroes, white labor is now large
ly employed, while in the Carroll
mas the poorer classes of native
whites are gradually monopolizing
factory labor.
One of the few employments in
which they have not yet been ser
iously disturbed is in the tobacco
factories, but even there they are
by no means safe, for already in
some places the whites have shown
willingness to work side by side
with them, which perhaps means
that one day the whites will who'll.
monopolize that class of work. L
will astonish many doubtless t.
learn that the only cotton mill il
) the South which employs Negroe
, is said to be at Dallas, Texas
The Colorado statesman., 1905-08-26

Mrs. Fanny Barrier Williams of
Chicago, writer, and the only
colored member of the Chicago
Woman's Club, is in attendance at
the convention of the National
League of Negro Business Men
and takes much interest in the
welfare of the young women of her
race.
"Oswald Willard in his address
to the convention" said she to a
Tribune representative, stated
that it was impossible to get a good
servant in the South. One reason
for that is that there is a constant
drain of the best colored girls into
the North. They find better con-
ditions in domestic service here,
better wages, better treatment and
a different atmosphere.
81 have letters every day of my
life from colored girls or their
mothers in the South, asking as to
opportunities for domes tic service
in Chicago.
81 have not hoard or seen in
Chicago any of that of which Miss
Frances Kellor talks SO much, the
inveighing of Southern colored
girls come North for domestic SER
vice into the disreputable houses
of New York. There is a constant
influx of colored girls from the
South into Chicago, almost all OF
whom enter domestic service.
That is almost the only thing that
is open to them. Only few can
a get into stores or offices.
"But this whole trade of domes-
tic service is being lifted upon a
professional basis. Daughters of
the finest white families take Do
mestic science courses. Domestic
service is being divided and spec
ialized, so that if the colored girl
dosen't look out she is going to be
left behind as a dishwasher, or
some other low grade worker. The
teaching of domestic science in
schools, public, private and phil
anthropic, is matter of vital i'm
portance to colored girls, and
through them to the race. Color
ed citizens everywhere should
work to have domestic science
taught in the public schools and
friends of the race both white and
colored, should establish schools
of domestic science for colored
girls. 1t is the one great avenue
open to them, and they must eth
er keep up in it or drop behind.
The Negro as race is hamper
ed by lack of confidence, declared
Mrs. j. w. Page, of Philadelphia,
in paper asking for the support
of working girls. The session was
} devoted to an exchange of testi-
monials of the past and present
success of the race, with prophesies
of the future. Mrs. Page contin-
ued:
