Official Paper OF City and County
The Race Question Labor Question.


In the strike on the Georgia railroad
against the employment of Negro fire.
men, we have an disqualification of
what many have long felt to be true,
that the race question is at bottom a
labor question and that the labor ques-
ton is at bottom question of restrict
ed opportunity, The object of the
Georgia strike against Negro labor at
labor at locomotivefr firing, was to make
room for white labor. With abundant
opportunities for both races, there
would have been no strike, for there
would have been no motive for strik-
ing. But with opportunities so mar
rowed that that the masterless man is
starving man the struggle for jobs
takes on any form that happens to
serve, and race differences are usually
most efficient. Political differences
would serve as we'll in some industrial
circumstances, religious differences in
others, and either would be as readily
availed Of But in the South at the
present tlme-and in the North, too,
for that matter-the question of Negro
or white man is most available. On
the Pacific Cost the same scarcity of
jobs develops race conflicts, with China
men and Japanese instead of Negroes
as the white workman's enemy. The
Georgia Railroad strike certainly tends
to confirm the Texan, an old time slave
owner, who, upon being asked about
the race question in his part of the
State, replied: "Race question! Well
it's about this way. When the white
man owned the niger there wasn't any
race question; if the niger owned the
white man, there wouldn't be a race
question; but when the niger and the
white man both want the same job al
at the same time, then there's race
question. 1t isn't a race question a
all, my friend, not among the masses
of the people. It's labor question. ,

REVOLT IN PHILIPPINES;
NIGHT ATTACK REFUSED
American Officers Take Refuge In a
Church and Fighht OFF Mutlnous
Constabulary

Manila, June 15.-Details of the
mutiny of the company of native con-
stabulary stationed at Davao, on the
island of Mindanao, show that the
attack on their officers was made I'M
expectedly by the mutineers. When
the mutineers opened fire one officer,
DeGoricouria, was hit three times. but
none of his wounds were serious,
while Gov. Walker and the other Off
GERS of the company escaped without
scratch. The mutineers then fled
to the hills after taking 80 rifles and
5000 rounds of ammunition.
Gov Walker hastily summoned the
neighboring planters as soon as the
mutineers were out of sight and pro-
ceeded to fortify convent in prepare
ton for long siege. On account of
the firearms restrictions most of the
planters were only armed with revol-
vers, but when the natives made an
attack on the convent on the after
noon of the 7th, they fought with
great spirit and drove off the mu-
tineers. The mutineers made des-
perate attack on the beleaguered gar
rison and a number were killed and
wounded before they retired. Among
the besieged the wounded included
Collector Roddy and Messrs. Burch-
field, Stephens, Reynolds and Her
nandez. All of these planters wounds
were slight DeGoicouria, the wounded
constabulary officer, is the man who
cleaned out the bad men of Dayao aft
er the murder of Gov Bolton in 1907.

GAN TALK TO MARS
PROF. PICKERING SAYS 1T WOULD
COST ONLY s1o,ooo,ooo.
Harvard Astronomer Believes Com.
munication with Planet by Flash.
ING Messages Would Be
Comparatively Easy.

Boston.-If mankind cares enough
about it to put out about $4,000, 600,
there is no very good reason why the
human race should not be able to talk
with Mars, according to Prof. William
Henry Pickering, Harvard university's
celebrated astronomer. Communication
with the Martians will be made posi-
ble Prof. Pickering declares, by adopt.
ing his method Of flashing messages,
when Mars approaches the earth to
within 100000 miles, or about 5.O0O.-
600 miles nearer than ever before,
Ten millions Of dollars is large
amount, he admits, but he predicts
that. once this means Of celestial COM
munication is established, the mes
sages will be easily recognized and I'M
doubtedly answered If there Is intelli-
gent life on Mars, and that In such q
case, the hitherto hidden mysteries
concerning Mars will become an open
book to the people Of the earth. Prof.
Pickering describes his system In
these words:
my. plan of communicating with
Mars would necessitate the use OF
series of mirrors SO arranged as to pre-
sent single rejecting surface toward
the planet. These mirrors would have
TO, be attached to one great axis, paral.
lei to that of the earth, run by motors
and 30 timed as to make complete
revolution every "a hours. 1t would be
necessary to have these mirrors. occu
py an area Of more than quarter of
mile in order toreflect sufficient guam
tity of light to reach the Martians
Even with such powerful apparatus az
is proposed, the reflected light would
not be apparent to the naked eye. but
by. the use of powerful telescopes the
signal from the earth could be dis
cernible.
Looking down from Mars this re
Election would appear like a !, small
point of light upon the surface of the
earth. Surprising, with such signal
in operation, we began a series Of
flashes, cutting OF the suns rays fol
an instant and then throwing. on the
reflection again, repeating this at ir
regular intervals, following. say, thu
telegraphers' code of dots and dashes
1 have no doubt that, providing there
were intelligent people on Mars. thu
hight would at once attract attention
and would lead eventually to an an
swering signal. Once we received
such an answer, the rest would be thu
comparatively easy matter Of estab
fishing a code and transmitting mes
sages."
