gated many thousands of dollars. 1t

the men were entitled to all over the
Reading system aggregates $500 900.
Some Disappointed.
Many of the foremen employed by
the Reading Railway Company about
the shops, not only in this city but
at other points along the system,

not entitled to any increase in pay. 1t

THE PASSING THRONG

For the past twenty-five years the editor
of Cayton's Weekly has denounced organ
lied labor in general and in Seattle in par
ticular for it's prescription of the colored
man, in some kind Of publication, and un-
less we are mistaken in the signs Of the
times the persistent fight, like bread cast
upon the waters, has after many days,
months and years begun to return with
good results No, no. the agitator is seldom
if ever given consideration, but others are
selected to bear the olive branch of peace
Organized labor in Seattle has begun to see
the error Of it's ways as to it's treatment of
the colored man through glass darkly and
has made some slight concessions to colored
workmen and says it will do more if what
little it has done shows any signs of bear
ing fruit.
Recently Rev. W. D. Carter, probably
Seattle's most popular colored preacher, and
Dr. F. B. Cooper no less popular in colored
circles than Rev. Carter, were invited to
speak at the Labor Temple and set forth
the colored mans grievances before the
governing body, and Rev. Carter took adj
vantage of the opportunity and said things
that made Jimmy Duncan and his close
corporation friends set up and take notice.
We are delighted to record the apparent
turn of conditions and trust that Rev. Car
ter, DR.. Cooper and other popular colored
men will be frequently called into confer
ence with the labor leaders and that in the
very near future the cause of labor will
know no color, creed or nationality, but will
recognize as friend and brother all men
who labor So far as the editor hereof is
concerned he expects no favors or considera-
ton at the hands of the labor leaders, be-
cause he realizes that they look upon him in
the light of an anti-labor agitator, having
for so long waged such relentless war
upon all forms Of organized labor on account
of it's color proscri ption
