THIRTEEN
Causes for Grievance By Com
mittee of Negroes.

Thirteen causes for grievance
were filed with the chairman of the
State Railroad Commission, G. G.
McChOrd, bv j. G. Dean, chair
man of the committee of cOlored
men selected to present the protests
of colored patrons of the railroads
against inadequate travelling ac-
cOmmodationS. The committee
were instructed to submit their
charges in writing.
The complaint of the colored
men recites the fact that they are
huddled together in a portion of
one coach only partially divided
from the rest of the same coach
and that the coach at best is a
second-class one. They aver that
the compartment is often used as "A
smoker by white passengers, is
used by newsboys and train en-
ployes and that it is often used as
dressing room by white passen-
gers. They complain that the
other portion of the coach is inva-
riably used as a smoker and that
the colored compartment is always
filled with smoke. The lack of
toilet rooms and poor sanitary con-
ditions are proclaimed in IA lengthy
paragraph and rowdyism is said to
be permitted to 90 on unchecked
by the railway employees.

Seventyfive per cent. of the
Alaska trade has been lost to San

diverted to Seattle and Tacoma.
according to the statements of
Benjamin ID. Croker, Collector of
Internal Revenue for Washington

New York City. When every
thing was ruined in San Francisco
trade naturally sought the more
northerly ports and there is no
reason why it should be ever en-
