with his wife, but not however. till he
has made every possible kind of fool
Of himself. There is nothing novel in
this theme, nothing particularly new in
it's treatment. yet Mrs. Reynolds has
made very pleasing and readable
story out of material whose inconsis-

| the colored girls of the past gem
GRAFTON, like the white, have developed
a tendency to despise the work of home
making. The pendulum Is swinging back
ward now and the educated colored girl
knows that there is no work more worthy
of respect than that which enables her to
, administer to the needs of a home. Spe-
cial classes in domestic science are be-
ing maintained by the coiored women's
clubs in every city, which Will give In
structiOn in every form OF household
work so that the woman who has had
little OPT ortunity may learn to do as much
for the comfort and health of her fam
lily as the one who has had better edu-
cation.
The work of the colored parents and
teachers association is an important
branch OF the social work taken up by
the clubs in the association. and the more
fortunate colored woman is eagerly work
ing to help her less favored sister through
the medium of the school which is at
tended by the children of both. Coiored
women are interested in securing kinder
gartens for their children and In secur-
ing for them a proper amount OF play
ground space.
Children's Play Considered.
The matter Of ch,ldren's play has
also received their attention and
at the last biennial convention a de-
tailed discussion Of the play games OF
childhood was led by Mrs. G. w. Cook OF
Howard University. The value Of the
dance as u physical exercise is also being
advocated by Mrs. Butler Wilson OF Bos-
| ton, who has for several years been work
| ing To secure interest In the folk dances
| of different nations as substitute for
| the forms of dancing which have been
condemned by the clergy.
The educated colored woman has no
aspiration regarding the social equality
| of the races as has frequently
| marry white man and she is
strongest in her condemnation Of
| the colored man who marries q white
woman. What she does desire, and
| what from her standpoint is most un-
justly denied her in most parts of this
country, is an opportunity to secure any
| added culture or intellectual development
which she is fitted for without discrimi-
nation on account of race. If she has
| a talent and taste for classic drama, and
the means to cultivate it, she feels that
| she should be able to attend a theater
| and secure a comfortable seat in which
| to study play and not be forced into
| an undesirable section of the gallery as
| IL she were a pariah VINO would contain
| mate those about her. She would like to
| take her place III conferences where
| questions affecting the social order Of
| the public are discussed. without being
segregated from other social workers. 1t
| is not unusual for corpmittees on social
order To send invitations to colored work
| ers to attend conferences and then. after
| they have accepted the invitation, humil-
late them by asking them to sit apart

the higher schools. 1t was only the ex-
ceptional colored woman, a generation or
two ago, who. by the aid of some kindly
disposed friends, and usually by untold
sacrifice and exertion on her own part,
was able to secure an education which
demonstrated her fitness for something
more than the mental drudgery which had
been considered the lot Of the women
tage for herself, she did not selfish.y en-
JOY it, but, in almost every instance, de-
voted her added advantage to hep olh-
ers of her race.
Like the white woman, the progressive
colored woman realized the value OF or
IAN cation. When the great Federal on of
Women's Clubs was organized several OF
the clubs. composed OF educated colored
women, were credulous enough to believe
tina, the motto Unity in Divers lty'' was
broad enough to include the enlightened
women of their race who We're work NJ
toward the general uplst of humanity.
The refusal of the general federation to
admit Mrs. Ruff1n as q delegate from the
New Era Club OF Boston answered this
assumption. Stung by this rebuff. the
ent they must receive aid from organiza-
tons composed entirely of their own race.
Fills Great Place.
The National Association of Colored
Women in the United States now fills a
greater place in the development Of the
colored women of the country than does
the general federation for the white
women. LIS bonds are closer and more
sympathetic because of the discourage
ments its members so frequently receive.
This organization. which has grown from
comparatively small body, organized in
Washington in lS9i. now represents more
than 1oJ,0D colored women in its mem
bership IT has state federal. ons in most
OF the states and is strongest in the
south. The association recognizes the
fact that whether cultured or not the
colored woman receives practically the
same treatment from the white public.
The women who have culture therefore
really help themselves in helping those
who have not. and the spirit OF the asso-
citation Is one of general helpfulness.
which is expressed in its motto, Lifting
as We Climb
Most of the problems which confront
the white wife and mother come also to
her colored sister. The difficulties of the
latter are largely increased by the bar
rierS of race. The colored women are
just as anxious to educate their children
and to have a high standard of living as
the white women. The number of unedu-
Gated women who will toll over Il wash
tub all day long in order TO keep their
children in school demonstrates this. But
their ambitions are gained only by con-
slant struggle such as the white woman
has never even imagined.

REFERENDUM VOTING.
BriekIayers' Organ Discusses Return to
Representative Government.

In commenting on the recent referen-
dunn vote of the Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers International union, in
which the question of utilization with
the American Federation of Labor
was Overwhelmingly defeated, an edi-
torial in the international, the organ
of the union, states that: "In the
larger unions the returns show that
there was absolutely no interest dis
played in the question whatever, and
If this is the best showing that can be
made, taking into consideration that
special meetings must be called by
each union to vote upon referendum
questions, then we do not hesitate to
say that popular votes or votes by
unions upon important questions af
fecting the important interests Of our
international union are farcical and
should be discontinued and our con-
ventions. composed of live, active men
in our affairs, who give careful thought
to matters that concern our standing
in the labor world and also to all
things that affect our industry gener-
ally, should declare the system extinct
so far as our organization is concerned.
"Our international union is not the
only one to prove that the popular
system of voting has proved failure
as well as the voting by unions. The
fact Is that every labor organization
adopting the system has had the same
experience that we have had, and
gradually each one is returning to the
representative form of government.
1t is discouraging, to say the least, to
those who believe in popular vote gov
eminent"
The editorial says further: "While
the returns show that 81 per cent of
our unions voted upon the proposition.
only % per cent of our total member
ship cast their votes. In other words.
out of 936 unions on our rolls with
total membership of S2,350, $50 sub
mitted returns, giving a total vote cast
of 20,351."

Warns Against Wage Cuts.

Notice was served on employers of
labor at Flint. Mich. recently by Sec.
rotary Redfield of the department OF
commerce that he had not abandoned
his intention of investigating general
reductions of wages made on the plea
that the new tariff compelled retrench-
ment. The secretary voiced his views
in an address before the Flint board
Of commerce.
The secretary declared that the
threats of reduction in wages as re-
suit of the Underwood tariff law had
become few of late. This he attribut-
ed directly to the declaration Of the
administration that it would act
promptly where such threats were car
ried out.

WAGES OF CONVICTS.
missouri Raises Price of Prison Labor
to Contractors.

The board of prison inspectors has
served notice on the contractors leas-
ing the labor of convicts at the Mis-
souri, state penitentiary that after Dec.
81 the price per man will be IS cents
q day instead of 20 cents, as hereto
fore.
Two prison shoe factories, one cloth
ing, one broom, one saddletree, one
leather finding establishment and one
saddlery, according to advance infor-
nation for the 1913 red book, made
public by Commissioner John 7. FiH-
patrick turned out products in 1872
worth $4,294, 494, to compete with the
same line of articles made elsewhere in
the state by free labor which costs
from two to five times as much.
The force of convicts which made
most of these commodities consisted of
1919 men and fOrty-four women, all
inmates of the state penitentiary at
jefferson City. The state received for
male convcts 20 cents a day and for
women so cents a day.
Organized labor contends and has
contended for years that the prison
contractors would have to pay from
$1.5O to 81 a day for similar labor
outside of the prison. Therefore pris-
on products which are generally sold
for less money but with greater prof
its, must be disposed of first before the
''outside" competing manufacturer has
any chance with his output.
The proposed increase per day for
each abtebodied male convict is 10
cents. This sum looks small, but speed
lily assumed large proportions when
multiplied by the number of convicts
worked daily and the number of work
ing days in the year, which are about
80. In a day the increase for 1.649
convicts amounts to $247 divided be-
tween seven prison shops and in the
course of a year to $76,570. The con-
tract leasing system will be abolished
on Dec 81, 1915.
