NEGRO LABOR ORGANIZATION.

A Negro Labor Organization is now being
advocated by Negroes themselves, and not
only being advocated, but have begun to take
definite shape, yea, the organization having
been to an extent perfected some time ago
in the city of Nashville. This organization
proposes to travel along the same lines as
the labor organizations Of this country under
the control of the white laborers, but will
90 a step or so further and draw the color
line In admitting persons to membership.
It will also have beneficiary attached to it
for members who become injured or decrepit
in the performance OF their duties, and III
case of death small sum to GO to the fam
ily Agents of this new organization are
going to every community in the East, North
and South where colored folk are employed
and soliciting them to become members there
of, and in many instances succeeding beyond
their expectations. The talk that 'ony
Negroes will be members Of the organiza
ton seems to be the keynote to it's member
ship success.
In the United States there are labor or
carnations for every kind Of work per-
formed, and despite the fact that they do
not always meet with our favor yet they
are practically the balance of power all over
the country, so strong and united have they
become Now, is it necessary for Negroes
to still organize another lot of bodies to
accomplish the very same thing as those al
ready organized simply because their skins
are black? If the leaders Of labor organiza-
tions mean to accomplish what they set forth
in their preambles, why is it necessary for
Negroes to organize separate body? Who
is at fault for such move? Do you forget
the old adage, GA house divided against IT.
self will fall?" If labor is to unite against
capital, why not get all classes OF laborers
in one grand body and then march boldly on
the strongholds of the enemy? If the Negroes
of the United States succeed in establishing
a strong central labor organization, it will
simply mean an even more bitter warfare be-
tween white and black labor than has ever
rOAN pTTpT TCuEC TEGAT NOTICES AT RE

yet existed, and that is saying a great deal.
The capitalist will from time to time play
the one off against the other, and when the
one class strike the other class will be given
their places, and in the end neither of them
will have accomplished practically anything.
Laboring people, white and black, had better
settle their troubles and join hands for mu-
tua protection, or the whole lump lot of
them will be down and out.
That there is some excuse for Negroes or
ganizing separate bodies for mutual protec-
tion is plain to be seen, and they are not to
be blamed very much for pulling out from
the white organizations. But the black man
should not forget that he is the weaker ele-
ment in this great controversy, and he is not
wanted even by the capitalist as long as the
white laborers and themselves get along har-
moniously, but as soon as difference arise
then black men are imported, and so soon as
the differences are settled then the black
man is deported While the white organiza-
tions do great many things that are very
Objectionable to black folk, yet the latter
should be willing to be bit more generous
than their white brethren and struggle to
right the wrongs in labor circles without re-
gard to color or nationality. It is utterly
impossible to build up black republic in
the heart of a white republic, and race
troubles will never cease until black folk
become an undisputed part and. parcel of all
Of the affairs of this republic. If the blacks
will not accept such conditions, and it the
whites as body refuse to concede them, then
the Negro must be either expelled outright
from the country or eXterminated, and,
speaking more plainly, the Negro, who is
so generally despised at present throughout
the United States, must not only be absorbed
by all of the labor organizations and the
commercial enterprises of this land of ours,
and eventually be even absorbed soul and
body by the white folk and his identity be-
ing completely lost, or bloody war will
follow, and with the whites arrayed against
the blacks, we shudder at the results. Cir
cumstances have thrown whites and blacks
together in the United States, and their diff
ferences should be harmonized in such a man
ner that it would be a crime for anyone to
raise race flag to array the whites against
the blacks or vice versa. One country and
one flag should be the motto of every citizen
and subject claiming allegiance to the gov
ernment of the United States and then, and
then only, will we see signs of the long looked
for millennium
