 do not even know the name of the man who runs the restaurant ut the Terminal station but I do know that he is a most accommodating fellow as will be testified to by every one of the faithful band Of canteen workers who during the wal never asked him for a favor which was not readily granted.

THAT UNION LABOR JOKER.

Admission Of Negroes to trade unions IS
on the increase. This is one of the most
hopeful signs Of advance in the entire labor
movement History not only in America
but throughout the world proves that differ
ences in race or religion between neighbor-
ing groups are in the long run used prin-
cipally for their economic exploitation. Just
as the Romanoffs set Jews and Christians
at each others throats, so the Hapsburgs
played the various races and creeds Of Aus
tra against each other Irish landlordism,
the real enemy of all Irishmen, has sedu-
lously fostered old hatreds between
Catholics and Protestants, and incidentally
prolonged it's own life by many years, while
it's dupes fought each other blind to the
fact that landlordism is the common enemy
of bOth The use of racial antagOnislls in
America is we'll illustrated by the frequent
practice Of mine operators and steel COM
panies in the employment Of laborers as
divergent as possible in race, language and
creed. Each barrier to friendly intercourse
among the workers makes their exploitation
easier So with whites and Negroes. Social
antagonisms carried over into the economic
field have been used by interests that will
exploit white man as readily as black
man. The Negro and the white are not
natural enemies. Only the artificial restric-
ton of opportunities makes them seemingly
so. The future welfare of both lies in
friendly cooperation, not only in the
sweeping away Of man-made barriers, but
in the days Of greater freedom when those
barriers have been destroyed-The Public
The above editorial theory sounds good
to read, but it is without scintila of
practicability. Organized labor breaks
down the color prejudice bars in it's halls
and then goes to work the very next day

"a white mans job" But until the vari-
Gus trades unions see themselves as others
see them they are in line to lose a great

places they leave.

Think about expending the munificent
sum of $216 in a whole year and then i'm
agine the amount of education child would
acquire therefrom. The amount spent on a
white child for educational purposes is in
finitisimal in comparison to what is spent
on children for educational purposes in
Washington and other states of the North
and yet the amonnt is approximately 1000
per cent greater than the amount spent on
colored children. The gods Of justice have
many human wrongs to right and here is
one Of them. Let us hope, however, the

COLORED CHILDREN GET THEIRS.

From the State of South Carolina the
citizens Of the North hear much about the
dense ignorance Of the colored folks thereof
and their total unfitness for the right of
suffrage The facts, however, are not as
black as they are pictured and the colored
citizen even in South Carolina has advanced
many PAGES in educational qualifications,
but if they have not, if the following bit of
information from the government statistics
be true, then how could they be otherwise.
Here is clause from the educational report
Of the country:
''In South Carolina in the last fiscal wear
the average amount spent for the education
of white children was $1783 and that for
the schooling of Negro children was 1916"
