LABOR OF U. S. TO FIGHT
ANY MOVE TO CUT WAGES

Reduction of present wage scales
in the United States will be opposed by
the workers, Frank Morrison, score
tary of the American Federation of
Labor, said in statement tonight
dealing with reconstruction as it eff
fects labor. Any decrease in wages
will mean a lowering of living stan
dards, he said, and this the workers
will resist
Regardless of the wishes of the
individuals of groups" said Morrison.
ANY reduction of the present wage
scales In this country will be opposed
by the workers, who will accetp wage
reductions for the simple reason that
this procedure will lower their stand
ara of living. And by standard of
ilVlng, l refer to substantial food,
clothing, housing and all necessities
to q well-ordered life.
The cost of living is not a theory
with the workers, it is a plain unvar
nished tall that cannot be explained
away by sophistry. The United
States Bureau of Statistics shows that
living costs were mounting higher and
higher: Its report for August, this
year shows an increase of 3 per cent
over last July, an increase of Is per
cent between August last year and
August this year, and an increase of
70: per cent during the fve-year per-
lod between August, 1913 and August,
1918.
FThe right to live comes first. and
workers will resist any attempt to re-
duce thir living standards, in view
of present costs, even though some
employers talk of capturing the mar
kets of the world.
u am hopeful that best thought
among employers and other ele-
ments of our citizenship will agree
that nothing will create more inter
nal turmoil than a denial that the
highest possible living standards for
workers is the first requirement for
the America we dream to have.
"The eight hour day should be ac-
cepted by every manufacturer. Not
only because the transition to peace
basis may be orderly through the
quick assimilation of workers, but for
the larger reasons that have too often
been ADVANCED in favor of a shorter
work-day."

A TRAVELLERS OPINION

Dear Friend:
Being acquainted with the fact that
you possess race pride and that you
hold sacred the relation Of the Broth
erhood of Man, we take this means to
appeal to these particular senses.
We have striven, and have succeed
ed in making the Alhambra Cash Groc-
cry an enterprise to which all race
loving and serious thinking colored
Americans might look with pride.
Our business is operated on a strict
ly first class basis, sanitary, modern

an and "Service' is positively our aim.
You must eat, you want the best, and
YOU are not satisfied unless you get the
best, and as much as your demand can
be fully met by your colored brother,
why not give him your undivided pat
ronage and your encouragement?
We have also a well organized de-
partment for handling mail orders, in
suring your prompt and efficient serv-
ice in every respect. Send us your
next mail order and so convince your
self of this assertion.

boys; that if whatever had happened was
part of the general training for all, that
all shared 1t, irrespective Of color and other
external circumstances, no complaint would
come.
MAJ. Gen. Leitch emphatically stated that
discrimination of color was not in any way
the cause of the action. That though it was
true that the colored men had been placed
IN tents, it was done only that there might
be accommodations for the newly drafted
men coming into the camp and that at the
same time the coored men were moved three
thousand white men were put in tents also.
That they had been notified to prepare for
the reception Of seven thousand civilian SOL
diers and that men already having some
training could better live in the tents. It
may have been true, he said, that some of
the tents were incompletely furnished and
without flooring at the very first but that
the condition was remedied the next day
"Moreover,' he said, ''all of the men are
back in their barracks now With the end
ing of war, the men coming to the camp
were turned back and the fellows sent to
their former quarters.
Maj. Gen. Leitch assured us again that
there was no desire to deal unfairly with

respect for them, having served for twenty
years as the commanding officer of the Twen-
ty-fourth and Twenty ffth Infantry, made
up Of Negro troops. He then spoke Of the
greater health conditions accompanying the
living in tents, and Of their affording lesser
possibility of contagion during an epidemic.
The committee was deeply gratified in
finding the reports to be without proper
foundation and by the cordial and thought
full consideration Of Maj. Gen. Leitch and
feels that if, whenever the occasion for con-
ference arises, the same courteous frankness
and gentlemanly spirit that characterized
the Camp Lewis officials is present, most Of
the difficulties that sorely vex will be most
speedily adjusted, with pleasure and with
profit to all concerned. Later word comes to
us from Camp Lewis thanking the Seattle
branch for it's interest and activity and that
all is we'll and the boys are happy and, so
are We

tunity to start business in community

Just as quickly as if they were all colored
citizens.
Very beautiful and impressive were the
ceremonies in connection with the funeral of
Mrs Lenora G.. Brown, held at Grace Pres
byterian Church Monday, November 18. Rev.
Barber officiated and Doctors Carter, Ora
ham and johnson, the former pastors, and
DR.. Forbes, the founder and "father" of the
church, participated in the services. Before
her illness Mrs. Brown was well-known for
her activity in the religious and social cir
cles of the city. Her father, Adrian Mon
tier. husband, Richard S. Brown, and three
children mourn her demise.
The war is over! Peace, whether endur-
ing or transient, is upon u.s. The world
now speaks in terms of reconstruction plans
for the mystic future
One great fact the war has brought out:
that several, many, nations though racially,
economically, or geographically distinct, can
find a common basis for unified, concerted
action, more, that even the so-called "lOWly,
worthless ''Negro, - usually set apart and not
considered, can bear his full share of har-
mOniOus world etfOrt, can be an integral part
of the call things working together,' for
the good Of the world'
The millions freely contributed to war
loans and charitable organizations, the rush
ing stream of their rich life's blood, over
whemingly illustrate this fact. We can get
together with the company Of nations and
races: Let s GET TOGETHER in ourselves.
Twelve million hearts, functioning in har-
mony, would form ga lever to uplift the
whole earth, and move it in better course. "
Five thousand, working together in Seattle,
would make it the Queen Of the world. Would
make themselves felt throughout the length
and breadth thereof.
Let s reconstruct, or better CONSTRUCT.
Let US plan for the coming days. LET'S
GET TOGETHER.
TO the many friends of our dear sleeping
wife and mother, Lenora Carolina Brown,
whose constant devotion and labor of love,
helped so greatly to brighten her last hours,
and in sustaining us in our sorrow, this
card of thanks is ascribed with deep, I'M
dying gratitude
Richard S. Brown and Family.
On Monday or Tuesday of last week the
Seattle branch Of the N. A. A. c. P. re-
ceived reports alleging the unfair treatment
of the colored soldiers at Camp Lewis, stat
ing that they had been taken from their
comfortable barracks and had been housed
in tents in a remote and very undesirable
part of the cantonment.
Looking into the matter committee was
appointed from members of Seattle branch
Pres. S. H. Stone, H. R. Clayton and the
Rev. j. B. Barber to investigate these con-
ditions and to confer with the authorities of
the camp in their regard.
On reaching the camp it was found that
because of the prevalence of the Spanish
Influenza, the entire camp being quarantined
nothing in the way of personal investi-
cation could be effected, but the committee
was ushered directly into the office of the
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1918-11-23
