The American steamer Oregon, with
cargo of mahogany logs. came in
port yesterday and anchored out in
the stream to await orders. It is un-
derstood she was originally destined to
this port but for some reason was di-
verified, or rather diversion had been
intended but the master failed to re-
ceiye the radiogram diverting her. She
will probably discharge here as first
intended.

From Memphis Commercial appeal
GOOD WORK.

GOOD WORK.
The Industrial Welfare Committee
IF the Chamber of Commerce, of
which Mr.. George r. James is presi-
lent, is attempting to put into force
! splendid programme looking toward
he sterilization of our labor sup
ply. Their work goes squarely into
he question of negro labor and ne
gro citizenship.
AS the statement well says, negro
labor is one of the best assets of this
community. In past years the negro
in the Memphis territory has not been
content. In the city of Memphis
there has been a better feeling of
contentment and security among the
negroes than in other parts of the
territory.
If we are to have the negro always
with us and if he is to be factor in
the industrial and commercial life of
this community he must be made con-
tent. He must feel that he is going
to get a square deal. He must be
protected from the harassments of
poll tax grabbing, road tax costs, un-
fair garnishments and other wrongs
lone to him through the instrument
5alities of legal papers. He must be
protected from the loan shark and,
more, he must be protected from that
class of white men who inveigle him
into vice and then make a money
profit from his excuses.
The men who are giving attention
to these matters have well defined
programme. They are hard headed,
clear thinking southerners and they
know what they are thinking about.
They want to make it so that there
will be places of decent recreation
for negroes. They want to make it
so that there will be homes for the
old and destitute negroes. There must
be place for the decent rearing of
negro orphans.
Many negro men and women are
trying to achieve certain useful ends
for their own people. Their work for
various reasons is handicapped. 1t
must be co-ordinated and correlated.
If the negroes want to build an
asylum they must not try to build
two orphan asylums at the same time.
II the negroes start out to build a
community house there must not be
an effort for two community houses
and, therefore, a failure of both.
The appeal made by Mr.. James
and his associates, printed in The
Commercial Appeal last Monday, has
merit in every word and every sug-
gestion. The Commercial Appeal
