A Great Negro Gain

That I. w. w. agitators are doing
their utmost to stir up discomfort among
the negroes is to be taken for granted.
This is not because of any liking for ne
groes, but because of love Of trouble.
They rejoice in discomfort and seek all
means to foment it. They make their
living out Of discord; concord is hateful
to them.
In the relations Of the two races in
America has been much to discourage the
dark-shinned one. No wonder its men,
bers sometimes lose faith and hope. But
in the darkest hour along comes some
thing to set the bells ringing again. Last
week, just after the riots in Washington
and Chicago, came news that the South
ern Labor Congress had voted to admit
negro unions to membership. Political
equality is important. The negro will be
only half a man until he gets it, But
economic opportunity is more important.
If the negro can gain an unimpeded
right to make his living and to develop
himself in skilled labor he will not long
be excluded from polling places
The sounder leaders of the negro race
are not deceived by the I. W. w. They
know this organization is no friend of
theirs-would merely use them for it's
purposes. So its agents gain few re
cruits. The negro race is a backward
one, but it sees main matters with clear
ness and looks to the time when white
and black will dwell together in harmony.

There were soldiers "who complained

Tho Citv Must Paw

The public denies to it's employees a
right to strike, on the ground that it is
an employer which has no thought Of
profit and thus is to be trusted to do
justice. This principle has often been
emphatically thrust on the attention Of
dissatisfied public employees.
But the rule is one that imposes obli-
cations on the city as we'll as on those who
work for 1t. The time has arrived when
citizens must seriously consider whether
justice is being done to policemen, fire.
men, clerks and to the others constitut-
ing the army Of 10000 to which the CITY
is paymaster. Any one who makes an
honest investigation will find it difficult
to resist the conclusion that Justice is
not being done. A policeman now gets
$1,650, but little more than he for
merly received. Considering the increase
in the cost Of living and the demands
made on policemen in virtue of their
duties, few will seriously contend this
is enough. And what is true of police
men is true as to others, particularly
true as to the unfortunate cerkly class,
who have been unchampioned and whose
hardships practically pass unnoted.
The policemen and the firemen ask for
$3.50 year each-an increase of less
chan 10 per cent. Such moderation
seems astonishing when compared with
other recent wage demands. If the city
escapes with as small an increase as This
it may deem itself fortunate, and the
Board Of Estimate should hasten to close
the bargain.
1t Is more and more difficult to recruit
men and women for city service at the
city wage scales. A public Job is not as
attractive as it was. The disintegration
OF the city's forces has already begun.
the best, of course, going first. The city
must pay market prices for service, not
only to do justice but to prevent a re-
rise of sloth and graft.
