FOR A JEWISH MEsOP0TAMIA
Jacob RI. Schiff Said to Be Interested

Jacob n. Schiff Said to Be Interested
In Latest Colony Plan.
Dispatches were recently received In
New York from London of a movement
among the Jews of Europe to amalga-
mate all the societies concerned with
the Improvement of the condition OF
the Hebrew race In a scheme for the
colonization of Mesopotamia. Israel
Zangwill, the head Of the Jewish ter.
ritorial organization, is endeavoring to
induce the Jewish Colonization associ-
alton to join forces with his society to
bring this result about.
Jacob FL. Schiff, who Is now In Eu
rope. is said also to be interesting him
self In the matter and to be doing his
best to effect the alliance between the
organizations, which will be necessary
If the plan is to be a success. He 10
said to be interviewing the leaders OK
the Jews in Europe In the interests OF
this movement.
The Rev. DIR. Schulman In discuss
ing the plan said that he understood
that one difficulty which would have
| to be overcome was the necessity OF
| proyidingsan extensive irrigation sys-
| tenn, which would cost large sum.
"There can be no. doubt he said, "of
| the advantage of diverting some of the
crowded Jewish population Of Europe,
and there is certainly enough territory
for them In Mesopotamia. While the
country would not appeal to the Jew
as would Palestine. it has traditions
| of value to the race. The Babylonian
captivity began in $50, and the Jews
| enjoyed there for time an honorable
career. They were independent and
had a prince of their own.
''They set up great schools OF learn
ing. and the Talmudic tradition grew
up in these parts They began to de
| cline in the eighth century, and d.
not know If there are any Jews lef
there now, but certainly there would
be more to attract them to Mesopota
mia now than to British East Africa
which was proposed as the site of
Jewish colony few years ago. O
course there would be the Turkish gov
eminent to deal with, but we hop'
that with the regime Of the Youn,

THE STRIKE OF FIREMEN IN
GEORGIA.

The strike Of firemen on the Georgia
railway is at an end, at least the issue
involved has been left to arbitration.
For days and weeks there was caused
much inconvenience to the people, who,
with few exceptions, being in full SYM
pathy with the strikers, accepted the
situation philosophically.
The strike began by putting negroes
into service in the place of white fire.
men who quit work
The issue is one in which every white
man should have some concern. Ir
brief, it is the seniority of the white
man over the negro, and it is whether
the negro 6remen shall be eliminated
from the road, and if not, what per-
centage will be employed.
The strikers have gained one point
in their struggle in the railroads agree
ment to recognize the seniority of the
white firemen. 1t is a fact that the ne
gro is ready and willing to work for
much less than the white fireman, which
has intensified the race issue.
Perhaps the negro can fire locomo-
tive as well as a white man, but is he
as desirable and as reliable? And
there arises the query, why should a
negro be given precedence over the
white man who in time may become an
engineer of some train?
However, at this distance from the
scene of action it would seem that the
engineers in charge of the trains should
have some influence in determining the
issue. As white men the engineers
could object to negro fremen riding
with them in the same cab.
Besides. the recognition of the negro
ii such an issue would intensity the
racial feeling At best the negro is so
constituted that he could not refrain
from come demonstration of arrogance
and irnpudence in this humiliation of the
