"SEEING THINGS"

The final argument (?) of cham
pion of the south in the saddle, mob
ociacy is the hypocritical cry about
social equality" There is no such
thing as social equality, not even
among white people. A parishioner,
once in a great alarm of wind, went
to the priest and told him he had
repeatedly seen spectre. He was
asked what shape or form the ghost
assumed. The simple-minded parish.
ioner replied that it bore the form OF
an ass. Then, go thy way, said the
priest, for you have only seen your
own shadow. So it is with the south
ern democratic asses, alarmed by the
bugaboo of social equality. 1t is a
case of seeing their own shadow.

THE RECENT INDUSTRIAL
STRIKES AND THE NEGRO

hope to oust the Negroes from the
good jobs.
The Armour strike was said to be
wholly unwarranted and it was large
ly the ignorant foreign employees with
small vicious native element that
went out. The strike was surprise
to many because the Armour policy
has been very liberal to it's employees,
and one thing certainly can be said
of this house, it has always given the
black man a square deal. Many a
Negro who has spent years in the
service of this house is now drawing
pension and living the remainder of
his days out of want. A large num-
ber of Negro women and girls are also
employed at this house some of whom
are doing light work and making good
wages. On one occasion several hun
dred strikers threatened to rush the
gates and drive out and beat up the
employees who refused to strike. Some
of the loyal black men were given
weapons of defense to guard the doors.
These black boys entered fully into
the warlike spirit and after address,
ing the advance guard OF the "hunkie"
strikers in language suitable to the
occasion, invited them to come on so
they could shoot HI out of them.
Nothing happened. During the strike
the employees were served a dinner
No different fare, no separate seats.
After the settlement the employees,
black and white, men and women, re-
ceived letter thanking them for their
loyalty and each letter contained a
check for $40.
New history has been made for this
house by giving faithful Negroes re-
sponsible jobs as watchmen. One Ne
gro, after viewing this check and
letter, said the only way the strikers
would be able to get him out of Ar
mours' would be to take him out dead
The trend of events which we can
not always forsee and the power of
destiny over which we have no control
seems to be giving the Negro an i'm
portant industrial footing not only in
the Southland but all over this coun-
try. 1t will be wise for him to secure
firm and permanent foothold. 1t is
well that he discuss intelligently what
relation he should sustain to the in
dustrial strikes of other races so as
to see whether his action in the mat
ter will make him win or lose. Some
one in authority and competent is
needed to advise him. Who can, who
will?

We Are Citizens and We Demand the

Kansas City is having its labor

cases where colored men are involved,
they have responded to the call of or

cepted them on the same basis, and

Within, the past two weeks hun
dreds of men, women, boys and girls
have paraded the streets as strikers,
yelling seemingly for the sake of
yelling. protesting against their en-
ployers and demanding that their
union and it's principles form a part
of their employment contract In
these parades, especially those of the
packing house employees, were many
Negroes who were also yelling but
who looked, in spite of their yells, as
if they felt out of place and the on
lockers thought so, too. There is
oftentimes some unwritten history
about public affairs and in the case
of the Cudahy Packing House strike
it was CLEANED from inside source that
the trouble started because large

were recently employed there and the

THEY SING WHILE THEY WORK

A gang of men were working on the
railroad out in the suburbs of the city
fifty or more of them performing
the heaviest kind of work in the hot
sun. They were of about equal num-
bers as regards color-twenty-five of
them white and the balance Negroes.
The whites spoke seldom. They
went about their work sullenly, it
seemed. Certainly they were not
cheerful. But with the blacks it was
different. They bantered each other,
and seemed as cheerful as lot of
school boys on their vacation. They
sang as they toiled-which was the
secret of their cheerfulness.
No race could have withstood what
the Negro has passed through if it did
not sing We would not be getting
along with any other race so well, if
it had twelve million members occu-
pying the lowly position which the ma
jority of the Negroes now occupy, if
the lowly fellows did not sing. Or,
to put it differently, these millions of
Negroes who now are with us, doing
much of our hard work for small pay
and living under conditions that are
not the best, would be causing us a
great deal more trouble but for the
melody that is in them.
The Negro is the most cheerful in
dividual on earth, and the most mu-
sical. Slavery could not or did not
crush his spirit; toll has not robbed
him of his melody; discrimination
upon the part of a dominant race has
not soured his disposition, because he
sings while he works.-Columbus Dis
