From the reports of the Red Gross

command of the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in this state, this cry will
have state wide echo.

You can crush the unions, but you
cannot crush the spirit Of unionism.
Twenty five years ago a famous
French statesman said that the social
problem is a fad, upon which serious
minded statesmen should waste no
time.
Today no thinking man will~deny
that the social problem is the most
important which confronts US.
There are thousands Of men who
are being deluded BY the vain hope
that if they can abolish the union;
they Will have solved the labor prob
lem. These men forget that the labor
union is not the labor question. If
every labor union in existence were
to be wiped out today, thsAabor ques-
ton would still be present.
Mr.. Union Man, do you employ
Union labor yourself? Are you con-
sistent yourself in your demands for

Newark, N. j., Dec. 14.-NeWark
manufacturers have won the prelimi-
nary skirmish in the fight they are
making to compel the labelling or
tagging of all handkerchief made
in the Essex County Penitentiary, so
as to distinguish the articles as
prison made" The victory is re-
garded by the manufacturers as very
important in Industrial circles
County Counsel Joseph L. Mum
submitted the following opinion to
the committee of the Board of Bfee-
holders:
1.-THE contract made with Jerome
Schwerin and the County Board Of
Freeholders was executed according
to the law governing contracts. and
after having gone fully into the sub
ject matter it is my opinion:
THAT the method that has been
pursuedsis not in compliance with the
statute governing the same. There
fore, thinkThat, the practice that has
been in use heretofore must be COM
piled with according to its terms.
'.The method Of afixing tag to a
bundle Of handkerchiefs containing
a dozen, or ten gross, whichever the
case may be. is not in compliance with
the statute, and the practice, there
fore. must be abolished.
This means that each handkerchief
must be individually tagged.

sents the Newark Embroidery Com
pany. and the other manufacturers
who are fighting to protect the inter-
ests Of the Newark handkerchief

evidence that w. W. Ramsey, presi-

PAGE FOUR.


Georgia past week assumed each
Strike. day more serious aspect,
causing complete disorgani-
cation of freight, passenger and final
ly mail trains. 1t is all the outcome
OF growing dissatisfaction ON the
part of the white employees Of the
road at the policy of filling the SER
vice with negroes, particularly in the
capacity of firemen. The operation
of railroads and running Of trains are
things which the average citizen is not
very familiar, but none questions the
truth that the lives Of every passen-
ger, railway mail clerk and employe
on every train are in the hands Of
the engineer. His responsibility is
tremendous The schedules he must
remember and the burdenso1ne mental
details he must carry every moment OF
his run are realized only by those who
have some practical knowledge of the
work. 1t is not simply opening the
throttle and blowing whistle with
which he has to deal, as many vague
ly suppose. In hardly any sense is
his work manual.
Engineers are but human, despite
their heroic record, and no man may
say when he may be stricken by sud
den illness or disability or even death
in the midst of his run. This has
been SO clearly recognized from
number of such instances as to lead to
agitation for the employment Of two
capable engineers upon every passen-
ger train, to be prepared for such en-
ergencies. Fancy, then, the case of an
engineer having to rely upon negro
fireman in any moment of stress. The
negro can't help the fact that he is
at best but a grown up child, irrespon-
sible, incapable of meeting the de-
mands Of any position Of serious re-
sponsibility. Within the recent past
one or two terrible wrecks have Oc-
Cured, because a negro, sent on to
flag a train, sat down, and went into
the characteristic African snooze while
the ears Numbered by to doom. By
all means, every engineer should have
in his fireman true, dependable, at
tentive assistant. The very admission
on the part Of the officials of the
road that the negro fireman can new
er become an engineer-the recogni-
ton of his complete unfitness for such
work-proves that he should never be
a fireman. The whole system is wrong,
from the standpoint of safety and eff
ficiency, to say nothing Of the unwis-
dom of any condition which tends to
bring about any suggestion Of social
equally. Further, so far as economy
is concerned, one would almost venture
to say that negro fireman will waste
more coal, from inability so grasp the
~nciples of maintaining even heat,
than any lowering in wages would
possibly counterbalance. In Prussia,
totally free from any trace preju-
dice" the negro has been tried in the
army and found wanting; our loving
