KEEPING THE NEGROES DOWN

The following letter has been sent to all
of the timberworker colored locals in the
southern yellow pine belt We publish it so
that our members and readers may know
to what extremes the Southern lumber
manufacturers association will 90 to keep
the colored race employed in the timber
industry servile to their masters Tt is rea-
sonable to suppose that Milton S. Hampton,
the author Of this letter and editor of the
Negro Advocate, has been employed by the
Southern lumber manufacturers to carry on
this propaganda to discourage organization
among the colored workers in the South
The letter is so raw that it needs no further
comment.-Editor.
Dear Worker:
''Negroes as rule get any kind of favors

Why? 1t is because of his efficiency as a
workman along general lines And one of
the main points Of efficiency is that ''he

would not strike" 1t is commonly said
mat the cOOred worker may lay off to 90
hshlng or to town on Saturday, but that
he would not strike.
This one feature has been highly appre-
clated by our white friends Do not let
any false leader come in and instill another
doctrine, the heinOus doctrine of striking
1.-The striking man is troublesome man.
Although the war has brought on scarcity
OF labor, it's just about over now, and labor
is again going to be plentiful, and those
who have been troublesome are going to be
the tlrst let go, and the worker who stuck
to his employer during the trying times is
gong TO receive as reward not only his
continued employment, but any reasonable
favor he may ask
1.-The Negroes best friends have always
been his employers, who represent the high
est class OF white people. It is them to
whom our preachers and church workers 90
Tor funds to build our stately churches, and
to help out any fund wherein the member
snip has failed to raise It is to them we
go when we want our schools built, addi-
tons made. and any other enterprise always
receive assistance. It is through them that
our leaders must appeal for justice, reforms
and benefits for the race
'Their willingness to help us is brought
about by the desire to appreciate our steadi-
ness and dependabiity and also a genuine
interest IN our welfare and advancement
Striking will bring about the loss of this
faith in us and will greatly endanger the
friendly feeling and spirit of cooperation
that exicts between the white employers and
the colored laborers
"Merit and stedaness will bring about
the things that any honest and right think
ING worker may want.
Always be in harmony with your en-
ployer: it pays, Respectfully,
'Industrial Welfare Committee.
'Milton S. Hampton. Director, and editor
Negro Advocate.''
1t is very seldom that we agree with the
Union Record, but it's comment on Editor
Hampton's letter meets our hearty approval.
In our opinion Editor Hampton is little
short of a servile slave in writing and send
ing such letter to men working like beasts
Of burden for their daily bread If the
men are paid what is rightfu1ly coming to
them, they should be too proud and indie
pendent to ask any man for money to build
churches and schools for their benefit. Who
Is given steady employment and paid com
mensurate wages therefor and then asks for
aims or charity does not deserve to be any
thing but peaOn or slave. AS to the
conditions in those lumber camps we know
nothing, but whether black or white the
laborer is worth his hire and if men are
cajoled into working for less wages than is
a just compensation by men who can and
will write and send them-the laborers-
such letters as the above, then they are
standing in their own light and the letter
writer is little short of cowardly, crouch
ing cur. The colored man asks nothing
more nor less than equal opportunity and
the same pay as the white laborer gets

BY Gugliemo Ferriro.
Paris, April 22.--Is the German
problem insoluble9 No--but the only
way to solve 1t is through the league
of nations.
1t would be foolish to believe Ger
many would forget the loss of her
colonies even II she retained Danz;g.
The moderate intentions of the ex-
ira continental powers-England and
America-are insufficient to avert the
German danger. Equally insufficient
is the severity of the continental
powers, France and Italy. The only
way. of course, to tame" Germany in
a decisive way would be to dismem-
Der her completely. but that would
not be peace of justice.
On the other hand, the de-mili-
tarization of the left bank of the
Rhine would only be q partial guar
antee II an enemy coalition knew how
to act with energy and swiftness. Ex-
periences which we have had with
the enemy powers during the war and
armtstice are not very encouraging.
Since her superiority Of numbers
would assure Germany OF q decisive
advantage in future wars. the first
condition of peace that should have
been exacted from her Is that she
should never have a military force s,i-
perior to that OF France. and that the
necessary control be established to
assure the world that the agreement
would be>kept
But long experience OF history
proves that limitation of armament
Is unsuccessful when imposed by a
victorious power on a vanQuished
country In a binding manner as the
supreme humiliation.
Thus, limitation OF Germany's
ornaments would have settled the
whole German problem-provided
only that all great powers likewise
had pledged themselves to = general
Limitation on land and sea- Then
and then only--the other nations
would have had the necessary moral
authority to exercise q severe check
on the German ornaments because
they themselves would be subject to
such check. with the league of ma
