A peculiar settlement, that, of the
Georgia railroad strike, considering the
race prejudice that is so violent in the
South. Not only is the Negro not de-
prived of the privilege OF firing a loco
motive for white man to drive, but he
is to be given the same wages a white
man receives for the same work. This
is more than the Negro hoped for, and il
is said TO be satisfactory to the white
men. They say that now Negroes will
be employed only when competent, and
not because they are cheaper than the
whites. 1t really looks as If the pref
udice against the Negro being allowed
to work out his own salvation industrial
" was not so strong as we have been led
