NEGROES BOYCOTT
WHITE EMPLOYERS
Texas Blacks Organize an Anti
Work League, Declaring Them
selves TOO Good for Servants.

3 GALVESTON, TEXAS, March TO-
Negroes of Chappell Hill, Texas, have
formed a society In which they pledge
themselves not to work for whites un-
less necessity compels them, So far
they have evidently not reached the
point of necessity. For the last several
months it has been very difficult mat
ter to procure household labor and
laundry women here. Neither good
price nor persuasion could have the
desired effect, and in connection with
this circumstance quite a startling dis
coVery has been made which is worth
consideration,
1t has been the custom Of the whites,
in helping the negroes to their eff
forts at bread winning, to give them
credit for their necessities and await
on their convenience to pay for same
but since it Is discovered that they
have arrayed themselves In a body
against their benefactors the arrange
ment will be changed. Some of the
whites are refusing to rent houses tc
negroes unless they agree to work
for them IL called upon.
There are few negroes who do no
belong to this society, and these few
say that the meeting hours arr
spent in talking down white folks
| and declaring themselves equals ant
| too good for servants.
