RECOGNITION OF THE NEGRO

The fact that the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Iron. Steel and Tin Work
ers at recent meeting, made negroes
eligible to membership is of more
than ordinary significance. Race pref
udice is innate and persistent. It
characterizes all walks of life and ev-
cry degree of human intelligence in
society. The laboring man is just as
much under it's influence as any other.
In fact, he is likely to feel it more
acutely, from the fact that he suffers
loss in competition with the black
man, who because of lower standards
of living, is able and willing to work
for a smaller wage. From the very
beginning, therefore, it has been the
policy of organized labor to keep the
colored man from participation in its
benefits. Because of his color or from
an idea that he is not capable of skill
ed labor. the whole effort has been
to debar him from the trades and re-
legate him permanently to the com
| monest and lowest paid forms of
| work. And the most powerful and eff
fective agency in accomplishing this
| has been the ban against his adn1is-
sion TO the LABOR unions.
The removal of this ban by so in
| huential an organization as the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, signifies, therefore, a
victory over race prejudice that prom
ises much for the future. There is
nothing of social equality In the &C.
ton, but what is infinitely more val
liable from every point Of view, it rec
ognizes the capabilities of the negro
| artisan and his right to an equal
share in the economic rewards Of Ia
Dor. This Is a flattering testimonial to
the negro, and one which all well
wishers of the race will hail with
pleasure. 1t demonstrates his devel-
opment along Industrial lines-his ca
liabilities for skilled labor. It shows
that the efforts which have been put
forth for a generation, to give him q
technical education are bearing JUS
such fruit as their authors have hoped
for and predicted. Work in iron
steel and tin requires skill of the high.
est degree and merits the wage which
it receives. The fact that negroes hay,

well for the industrial REDEMPTION O.

If signs count for anything there
are plenty of indications cropping up
that this presidential year is to be an
exception in that a business depres-
sion is not to be incident to it. This
is as it should be for there is not a
single question in the campaign that
should be disturbing to business But
to go back to the signs. There are
more buyers from out-of-town firms
now in New York than there have
been at this time in a number of
years. Most of them are from the
west. Not only is this condition of
affairs strong evidence that there is to
be no business depression this year
but 1t also makes it apparent that the
prosperity, which was abundant on all
hands previous to the money panic OF
six months ago, is about to return.

BAY STATE REMAINS
IN REPUBLICAN FOLD
TAFT CARRIES THE STATE BY
REDUCED PLURALITY
Vahey, Democratic Nominee for Gov
ernor, Ran Ahead of His Ticket
and Cut Down Usual
MajorItles

BOSTON, Nov. 3.-While at midnight
here it is known that Taft and the
state ticket, headed by Draper for gov
ernor, have won, it is by no means the
great victory that had been antici-
pated. In this city, Vahey. Democratic
nominee for governor, ran ahead of
the ticket, and made noticeable gains
throughout the state, especially in the
Industrial sections. Taft ran behind
Roosevelt's vote in 1904.
Bryan lost In the country districts
and made a few gains in the manu-
featuring cities, particularly in Lynn
and Lowell.
The counting has been rapid and
there are but few precincts in the state
that have not sent in their returns to
the state headquarters. The towns to
hear from are In the remote districts
and probably will not be heard from
until morning.
Election day passed off quietly, there
being but little enthusiasm shown, ex-
cept in places where state issues fur
nished an opportunity for rivalry.
