be employed separate and a.
part from white workers.
We are not unfair in our
demands said Mr.Letkowitz,
in ending his address. we
ask no more than the United
States Government. This ma.
ton has several regiments of
Negro soldiers. 1t is known
that those Negroes are not
allowed to frequent the same
recreation grounds as white
soldiers, nor are they in any
manner. allowed to mingle
with the whites. What this
Government sees fit in prac-
ticing. we feel justified in de-
manding."
Company officials claim the
issue to be the employment
by the company of a young
colored man. According to
Mr. Emmons. Wendall King
is a student at Union College
and was recommended by the
faculty with twenty. FIVE or
thirty other young men in the
college as being worthy boy
to aid in securing a college
education. The young man
was put to work June 8. and is
at present employed in build
ing % operating a drill press.
The first intimation of any dis
satisfaction. he said, was last
Tuesday afternoon when a
committee of machinists pro-
tested against the young man
being longer employed in the
capacity of nachinist.
Mr.. Emmons contends a
committee of the machinists
practically demanded that the
young colored man be taken
off that work to which Mr..
Emmons replied that he could
See no reason for establishing
a color line He told the
committee that the young
man was a college student and
worthy of being aided.
Mr. Emmons Believes in a
Real Democracy.
Mr.. Emmons left his Office
last Tuesday night when he
received the ultimatum of the
union. The ultimatum was
decided on a meeting of the
union Friday night and said

white wolfe model that is sure to be
greatly liked is trimmed quantity
with white silk braid. stitched upon
the belt. the collar and along the up
per edge Of the outstanding pockets.
OF woven dotted material IS another
dress made with a long-waisted blouse
and gathered skirt. Organdy forms
the over-lay collar, but the belt and
attached collar are OF foulard. So
many smart frocks have been intro
duced developed In foulard that the
preiudices OF fashionable women
against Il have been overcome. Oner-
ings in blue and white and in black
and white are most seen, but there
are many pretty designs in other
colors, especially IN green, gray, bis
cult and red, with the accompanying
white. White silk pipings, waistcoats,
etc. are on some OF the dark toned
French frocks OF foulard, and these
are being copied enthusiastically by
women who are making their own
clothes for the first time, this year.
Striped and mixed effects command
distinguished attention. 1t may not
be news to report, yet II IS as true as
always that the success OF the striped
] fr0cks depends upon the originality
with which the stripes are arranged.

tiny man is very neat looking car
