THE STRIKE IN GEORGIA.

The Richmond. Va. Times Dispatch
in discussing the Georgia situation
makes some timely observations rel
alive thereto and although OF the
rOck-ribbed Democratic persuasion
makes some observations on the out
look which will necessarily attract
the attention Of sensible people every
where. 1t says in its issue Of the
27th inst
1T would be easier TO sympathize
with these striking Georgia railway
men If IL was felt that their quarrel
was reasonable and just, but the
reverse seems to be true. The os-
tensible reason for the strike was
the substitution of some Negro FIRE
men for some white fremen, and The
presumable reason for these changes
was that the negroes would do the
work equally well for less money.
A deeper cause for the trouble Is
suggested by the report that the com
ing OF a certain laborleader from
Toronto to Georgia was for the pur-
pose of helping the white firemen
10 get raise in pay, a plan which
was made difficult or impossible by
the presence OF the colored fremen.
There is some ground for believ-
ing that the race issue has been de-
liberately emphasized a good deal
more than was necessary with a view
90 enlisting popular support in what
Is otherwise a simple dispute between
capital and labor. But in any case,
the root OF the trouble appears TO
lie in the willingness of the Negro to

HERE ARE THE POINTS.

The points I endeavor 20 put clear
~ before the public in the foregoing
are these:
1. The limit OF the negro's career
on the Georgia railroad is that OF
fireman. He can. under no conceiv-
able circumstances. come in CONNIE
tition with a white man for the no
sition OF engineer or block" white
man s promotion TO that position
=. The o Elective OF the white fire
man Is the position OF engineer. II
is solely and simply for the purpose
OF ultimately attaining that position
that be endures the hard work OF a
fireman. To that realization OF this
aspiration no arrangement or prac-
tice OF the Georgia as TO its negro
hremen does now or ever has or
ever viii oppose the slightest obsta-
Gle negro fireman's seniority
neither brings him any nearer the
position Of engineer, nor puts the
white fireman any further awav
from IL. His (the negro's) seniority
coupled with long and faithful sarv-
ice, gives him promotion in the form
or 4 better run, as fireman. This Is
the only reward he can have for
long and faithful service. It Is but
Justice and encouragement TO him
and Is not either Injustice or dis
couragement 70 the white fireman.
3. IL Is so clear that the white
hremen OF the Georgia railroad have
no grievance in this matter and that
their real ambition-which is to be-
come engineers-is not obstructed
IN the slightest degree by the prac-
tlce' or which they complain. that
the conclusion is irresistible that they
are being used by a party unacquaint-
ed with and alien to our industrial
situation. TO start on agitation -
d"lve the negro altogether out OF
railroad service.

do certain labor for less pay than
white men.
This is indeed 1.-The sum and sub
stance" Of the whole matter. The
race issue as such has beer injected
into the AFFAIR only as a method Of
convenience and in order 20 make il
appear that white men IN Georgia.
Ito the manor born" were endeavor-
ing 10 place Negroes over white men.
Were the officers Of this railroad
Northerners, such argument might be
used successfully. but the white men
in control are Georgians and they
are contending for the principle Of
managing their own business affairs.
The Times-Dispatch says further:
Here is plain economic fact
which should be frankly faced no
one can deny that the Negro fremen
would like 90 draw the same paw
that goes 20 the white fremen. The
fact that he has 90 content himself
with less. assuming that he does the
WORK equally we'll. is an economic
discrimination against him ON the
ground of his color To insist that
the railway pay higher price than
necessary for this work, I'm order TO
have it done by a white man. is
simply 20 uuionize race prejudice
Unions are supposed 10 represent "aI
labor. not simply white labor What
they now ask. in effect, is that Ne
groes shall no longer bee employed"
The above is logical and convinc-
inc. The Times-Dispatch says an
that there is to Doe said and places
the question from an economic and
practical point of view up to the bus
mess interests of the Southland when
it observes:
This Is the demand which has led
90 a condition OF chaos in GEORGIA 10

tlrely suitable work for a Negro. and
