CAN NEGROLABOR

Maximum Production and

BY REV. 7. o. FULLER.

~ ' @~=E
Should the negroes OF the South ever
find themselves forced into competition
Will any other group for the labor OF
the South, what in the way Of merit
would they have to offer? The fact
that the negroes cleared the fields
bridged the rivers, tunneled the noun
talns, butt the railroads and construct
ed the highways, and even protected
the South and its civilization In war
times, might not he sufficient to win
the case today. New problems, new
issues and new conditions have made
labor more universally popular thah
ever before in the history Of the world.
and the race may be to the swift and
the battle to the strong in the present
Industrial crisis. Maximum produc-
ton Is the w~atchword and maximum
efficiency is the demand Of the hour.
Labor that wins must have the proper
spirit, must be dependent, both as to
continuity and regularity, Labor must
not only be on the job but must hustle.
putting thought into the tasks. Labor
must see itself a partner in the BUSH
ness and that efficiency Is its most val
liable asset, What was II c held
through some sort of affection must
hereafter be held by skin. Let us 90
