FOUNDER CARNEGIE

PITTSBURG, PA. April 27.--The
work of the Carnegie Institute far ex-
ceeds the expectations of its founder.
Andrew Carnegie. This was the key
note of his speech at the annual foun-
der's day exercises to-d day. Taking up
every detail of the work, the steel
king explained how ii had gone on
and now led al similar institutions in
the world
"Pittsburg has been very much be-
fore the public in recent years" said
Carnegie, from her prominence In
manufacturing and the making of
many fortunes, Dtsgraceful conduct
of some men In public i1fe. has given
her bad name. But we know she las
her good points and the few who are
corrupt must be eradtcated"
Carnegie praised the action of Pres.
tdent Lowell, OF Harvard, In changing
the entrance examinations so that
Greed Is no longer preferred over

legal defense could be made for Burns
In kidnapping Mcnamara. but that
McNamarn will have no recourse ex-
cept possibly through q civil suit for
damages. 1t was pointed out that
long ago the Supreme Court decided
three cases, one from Kentucky aud
two from New York, and that II has
since held to the presidents tffen es-
tablished.
In the Kentucky case no requisition
was obtained, and the prisoner was
taken by main force across the State
line. but the highest court held that
the trial court could consider moth

To our mind the one thing which we
have not tried-by I'VE" we mean the
great mass of Negroes-is competi-
ton in quality and not in price We
have permitted our employers to pay
us less for similar labor and it has
done no good. Since we must work,
why not see if we cannot retain our
places by giving a better service. We
know well that now it is common
saying among us that we have to do
more than anybody else, but we
should remember that so long as our
work is unskilled, we are in competl-
ton with the greatest number OF
workers and our price is necessarily
low.
We must be preparing for some
thing better We must move upward
step by STEP doing our work al all
times in such a manner as to recon-
mend us for promotion. We realize
what a hindrance color i sto promo
ton, but if the colored unskilled la
borer finds employment largely be-
cause he is cheaper than the white
why is it not good sense for him to
become skilled and then in a better
paid trade work for less than his
white competitor? Why if he must
be the underdog, need he be that in
the poorest paid class of labor? 1t is
hard to climb, but climb we must or
perish If you do not believe that
one by one the opportunities we have
had are slipping from us, just as the
leaves fall from the trees, count
them as they go. Then take council

JUST AS THE LEAVES FALL, ONE
BY ONE.

One need not be an alarmist to see
that something radical needs to be
done to overcome the loss of employ
ment by Negroes in Colorado. Where
in certain lines large numbers used
to find work, they are being rapidly
supplanted and it tests ones ingen-
uity to find other openings which
have come to us to offset these.
The loss of domestic service is
really alarming, Laboring work has
almost gone. Skilled labor, reflect
ing labor unions, has combined
against us. Railroad service is slip
ping away Some openings have been
made in our favor, but not enough of
them.
Negroes need to realize these facts.
They have worked for less money
