MIR. HALL GIVES FACTS ABOUT
THE EMPLOYMENT OF NEGROES.

According to Charles E. Hall, Colored,
expert in the Division of Revision and
Results, furnishes the following facts
concerning the employment of Negroes
engaged in railroad work, and who
would have been affected by the threat
ened strike:
Officials, 81; conductors, 12O; bag,
gagemen, 225; freight agents, II; ticket
and station agents, so; yard men, 81;
locomotive engineers, $50; locomotive
firemen, 5,1SS; switchmen and fagmen,
1927; brakemen, 4,719; foremen and
overseers, 9s7; boiler washers, and en-
CINE hostlers, 1928; laborers, S7,1sS.
Total 102,1SS. This does not include
the army of porters of about $4,000.
1t will be remembered that these
thousands of Negroes are employed
largely in the South, the section that
some wish to see abandoned. In the
North the Negroes will be found in the
list of railroad porters as the rule. Of
course money is not the whole of life,
but it is of more value to our race at
this time than it is to the people around
US. The kind of employment has much
to do in fixing the status of a people.
If we are found wholly in position that
are held as lowly we may rest assured
that that s the estimate of us by those
who have matters in charge, so to
speak.

Will the Rev. Hon. Archibald ].
Carey, Phi. D. D. D., the unreliable
political preacher who on one occasion
declared from his pulpit in the Insti-
tutional church in the presence of Gov
ernor Dunno, that "he would willingly
and cheerfully walk up to the battle
ments of hell for him. which caused
the members of his flock to shout
Amen! Amen! preach the truth Brother
Carey, and the Hon. Thomas Wallace
Swami please stand up and lead US in
prayerf
The many friends and supporters of
Governor Dunno contend that the grave
mistake or error which he made in that
direction was not made by or from his
warm heart but from his head, that
Ray be true.
There is one thing however, that is
absolutely true and that is that many
thousands of Colored people residing in
all parts of this state will record their
votes in favor of his reelection, owing
to his well known friendship for the
Colored people and at this time and
in fact at all times the Colored race
needs all the strong friends that it can
make and hold among the members of
the opposite race regardless of their
politics.
This coming Saturday evening, Octo-
Der IA, a great meeting and moving
picture show will be held at Odd Eel
lows Hall, 1886 South State street in
the interest of Governor Dunno. ].
W. Hardy will serve as the head
spokesman and master of ceremonies.
During his short talks pictures of
Governor Dunno will be thrown on the
screen showing him as one of the
Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook
County in 1901, absolutely refusing to
send a Colored woman with little
baby in her arms to the Pen at Joliet,
Illinois; as Mayor of Chicago from
1905 to 1907, he will be depicted in
showing his friendship for the Colored
people by appointing them to office
and refusing to preside at the Benja-
min R. Tillman anarchistic meeting at
Orchestra Hall, Tuesday evening, No
vember 9th, 1906, which required a
whole lot of courage and manhood on
his part to turn his back on a United
States Senator.
The most striking and most impress
sive of all the moving pictures repre-
sents Governor Dunno in the act of
laying the corner stone of the Eighth
Regiment Armory, 35th street and
Forest avenue the first part of Octo-
Der, 1914. The Eighth Regiment, Hi

 Those on strike held a meeting at Dayville Friday afternoon, discussing with national union officials various
