Negro girls for telephone operators
was the plea of speakers at a meeting
on the committee of Colored Women in
Industry of which Miss Sophonisba p.
Breckenridge is chairman" According
to Negro member of the committee,
Mrs. Irene Coins, the hundreds of
young Colored women who have come
to Chicago find it almost impossible to
get work except in the most mental
positions, and with low wages. Miss
Mary Anderson of the Woman 8
Trades Union league, explained this by
saying that the Negro women did not
come to the union. She said that if
they would come to the Woman 8
Trades unions at once instead of I'M
derbidding the White girls in the labor
field and then seeking the protection
of the union, they would fare better.

THE REAL REMEDY.
The Mob.

An investigation of the East st.
Louis horror has been begun under
military auspices. Let US hope it may
be thorough, and yield something of
profit to the country. The report is to
be made to Gen. Bliss of the Central
Department, with headquarters at Chi
cago.
The city is small, containing less
than a hundred thousand inhabitants.
In no account of the hideous work done
by the mob has any mention appeared
of masks. Men and women in their
fury seem to have proceeded bare
faced, and to have reveled in it. 1t
was not a sudden fare-up and as sud-
denly over, but a calculated orgy of
blood lasting for long hours.
Sure many of the participants were
recognized. Shall we see them named,
and later presented for prosecution by
the civil authoritiesi Or, as has so
often happened since lynching became
a pastime in this country, shall we see
the mob go free of punishment, and
thus encouragement lent to the mob
spirit elsewheref That spirit, long
coddled, is widely disseminated in
these United States.
In the days-not at all remote
when the trust evil was fourishing and
it's victims numerous it was said that
the putting of one "malefaetor of
great wealth" into stripes would do
more toward suppressing the evil than
all the fines that could be imposed.
Fines were nothing. The trusts paid
without protest, and collected the mon
ey from customers. But no trust mag
nate ever saw the inside of a prison be-
cause of his trust activities.
So it may be said of the mob evil.
The execution of one prominent mem
Der of the mob elan for his part in a
mob atrocity would have a better eff
feet for law and order than all the SER
mons, stump speeches or newspaper
editorials that could be delivered. In
fact, both writers and speakers have
exhausted themselves without result.
The mob spirit has continued to grow;
and America is now the only nation in
the world preaching civilization where
lynching statistics are kept, and hu-
man beings roasted alive at the stake
in the presence of applauding multi
tudes.
But, as yet, no mob leader or humble
follower has paid such a penalty. Few
have even been prosecuted. Inquiries
have been instituted, and a great
pother for justice INDUCED in; but JUS
tiee has remained not only blind, but
helpless. Mobs have multiplied and
their practices increased in ferocity I'M
til the country stands branded with
savagery.-From the Washington Star.
