NEGRO RACE MIST

Booker y. Washington says. llisra-

pIieate Problem.

NEW YORK, Oct 10 Booker T,
washington. in addressing the meet
ing Of the Afro.American Council here,
said:
Before giving advice to tde negro
in the South, the negro in the North
should be very sure that what he ad-
vises is that which he himself would
be willing TO take into the heart Of the
South and put into practice. Be care
full not to assist in lighting fire which
you will have no ability TO put out.
Some may think that the problems
with which we are graphing win be
better solved by inducing millions Of
our people to leave the South for resi-.
dence in the North, but | warn you
that instead OF. this being solution
it will but add to the complication Of
the problem.
"The indiscrimInate condemnation OF
all white people on The part OF any
member Of our race is suicidal and
dangerous policy. We must learn to
discriminate. We have strong friends,
both in the South and in the North,
and we should emphasize aind magnify
the efforts of our frienls more t1En
that of those who wish US. evil.
~ have said we must ditterentiate
between white people at the South.
We cannot AFFORD to class all as our
enemies, for there are many who are
our friends. The country must also
learn to differentiate between black
people. 1t is mistake to place all
in the same class when referring to
labor, morality or general conduct.
There is vicious class that DIS
graces us: there is also worthy class
which should always receive common
,iatton. Further, we must frankly
face the fact that the great body OF
our people are to dwell in the South
and any policy that does not seek to
harmonic the two races and cement
them is unwlse and dangerous.
The next session of the council viii
he held in Baltimore in October next
year.

WOMEN WANT MELON CUT, TOO
Claim They Cannot Make Livelihood
at Government Printing Office.
Folding Room Employees Believe
They Are Entitled to Increase
in Wages.

In the general agitation for an increase
in salary Of Congressman. government
clerks, and officials Of all branches OF the
government service. the women employed
IN the folding room Of the Government
Printing ONCE hope TO find a champion
who will take up their case and use his
influence TO secure for them sufficient in
crease to afford them means OF a decent
livelihood.
The b0okbinders In the Government
Printing Office, who average 81 a day. re-
Gently complained that their pay was in
sufficient for their needs. and that they
find themselves unable 20 meet living ex-
penses; that they are forced to demand
an increase Of 121z per. cent in their
wages.
Complaint Is now being made by the
women in the folding room that they are
working for starvation wages. Many of
these toilers are widows, with children 10
support; others take care of aged parents.
while the majority are girls who are
Obliged to earn their own livelihood.
Piece-workers in the folding room are
paid for the actual labor performed, and
not for the time they spend in the shop.
They are expected 10 be at their work
benches from s in the morning until such
time In the evening as is necessary TO
complete any work that may come in
late.
The conditions Of which they complain
arise from the fact that after sitting
around idle all the morning. and perhaps
until $50 or in the afternoon, a little
work may be brought in requiring proba-
bly, only an hour 10 do. This may mean
only a few cents for each person. which.
however. would constitute the days pay,
as the time spent in idleness is free of
expense to the government Folders say
that there was a time when g a day was
considered an average wage. but that
this is a thing of the past There seems
to be no average now, the pay ranging
from nothing a day to anything under s.,
and occasionally that sum, many OF the
workers receiving sums ranging from SIG
to S23 for a whole months salary. The
folders are at their posts OF duty every
day and are anxious TO perform good
work. and they claim to perform better
labor than that for which other women In
the Government Printing Office receive s.
a day.
Visitors at the big shop, it is said. see
ing the women sitting around in enforced
idleness, are frequently heard to remark
that they (the women) get their money
easy" but the outsiders are not aware OF
the fact that when there is no work
there is no pay

that the risk Of being thrown out be
cause he does not accomplish more is
reduced to the minimum"
I can readily understand said Com
missioner Nell, how the demands on
the railroads should become so great
that they would be unable to supply
enough cars TO handle the business
cannot see that overwork on the part
Of the men would result in lessening
the activities OF the railroad Condi-
tons are the same as in machine shop
The men have to keep up with the ma
chine.
"On the whole. I think it may be said
that scarcity in the labor market and
the inability of the railroads to handle
the business offered to them are respon-
sibie for the present conditions in the
West The Labor Bureau has not taken
UP the investigation Of railroad labor.
The suggestions OF Senator Hansbrough
and Chairman Knapp open up a field OF
inquiry that should be given attention"

MONEY ARISTOCRACY WORST
DR.. Mitchell Decries Modern Ten.
dency to Worship Wealth.
Tells \. VI. {. a. Audience Glass Dis
Be DePIOred than in England.

The cveT-increasing danger Of the
formation Of an aristocracy engendered
by the present tendency to value a man
by the amount OF money he accUmulates
was dwelt upon by DR. c B. Mitchell in
his address before the Y. NJ. c. a. yester-
day afternoon. According to d.. Mitchell.
it was what "A man himself is and not
the amount Of wealth which he possesses,
which at the present day should call
forth from his fellow men admiration and
respect. He incidentally paid a high
tribute to President Roosevelt. saying
that the cause for his courage in the po-
ltical field was the result OF his belief
that his actions were right
There faces us to-day" said DR..
Mitchell. an arlst0cTacy larger, more
powerful and meaner than any that has
ever before existed; it is the worst Of all
aristocracies-the aristocracy Of wealth.
We are prone 10 laugh at the distinction
set up by the Briton concerning the ques-
ton of birth. We claim that all men are
free and equal. and yet we are more and
more bowling before that mighty power
wealth 1t is not what a man has but
what he is. that makes him a true man.
The wages for merit are not paid in the
coin OF the realm. but our reward comes
in the consciousness that we are good
Christian men"
Dr. Mitchell then remarked upon the
fact that many wondered at the bravery
Of some men. saying that such bravery
came I'm the inner consciousness OF doing
right
There is one man in the political field
whose bravery is making history" he
continued. Theodore Roosevelt is not
the man who yields 10 opinion; his actions
are the result Of the belief in himself that
he is right"

Falls Behind when Pressed.

Similarly, the individual who is trained
and fitted for a given output of work
will perform his accustomed task with
entire satisfaction But if continuously
pressed with a considerable excess beyond
what he is habitually required to meet.
he, Ike the railroad, gets into a state
Of diminished energy and discourage
ment and so does his work per unit at
greater friction and with less satisfac-

The average emplOye who sees little
prospect Of advancement finds no sufi-
cient incentive to determined effort. but
yields TO the temptation to do no more
than enough to hold his place
That temptation is very powerful when

Tainted Money.

Chairman Cortelyou of the republi

favor of President Roosevelt dispens
ing of the enormous patronage of the
postoffice department. has. it is said
100000 left over of the trust contribu-
tions TO the campaign fund of 1904.
This is probably about the amount that
the life insurance corporation officials
ilched from the fund that should have
been sacred TO the widows and orphans
of the policy holders.
AS President Roosevelt refused TO
order restitution to be made of this
tainted money, how appropriate it will
be 10 use it to try and reflect those re-
publican members of congress who re-
fused to pass the bill TO prevent con-
tributions from such a source.
