SOUTHLAND IN DIRE NEED OF
coLoRED LABOR.

AIemphis. Tenn. Sept 3.-The south
ern farmers are making a pitiful plea
for the return of thousands of farm
hands that left during the general exo-
dus. They are willing to pay railroad
fare back to Dixie if they can only
get in touch with southernborn colored
men who are willing to return to the
south.
The south is in need of labor to
gather the cotton crop and help har-
vest the other produce. The farmers
emphatically DECLARE they do not want
northern colored men they would pre-
fer foreigners to them. The old adage
is coming back to the southerners'

Black Man Offers Gifts.

Black Man Offers Gifts.
Ignorant of the role the old lioness
has played in civilization, of her con-
quests and battle scars, ignorant of the
lands and peoples her children have
won and brought under her flags, they
have not the same passionate attach
ment to her, quite apart from home
and relations, as the Irish and French
peasants have to the bit of soil which
is their own. The material things of
life have replaced ideals; they want
money and the things it will buy.
The black man offers gifts, and
they weigh more than pride of race,
which should teach them to say, Il am
English, daughter of the old lioness
crouching in the cradle land of the
empire, from which whelps have sailed
all over the world. 1, too, am guar
dian of the race. Let me see that L
do not betray my trust"
Comparisons are always dangerous.
But educated black women they have
come to Cheltenham and other col
leges here) cannot fail to make them,
when they hear the Outcry at the mat
ing of white girl with one of their
men, and note the penalty for inter
fering with white women.
l say deliberately it is queer kind
of logic which makes the union of
deliberately encouraged by her) mat
ter for the death penalty, when the
white man from Burmah to Lagos,
Jamaica to RangoOn, deliberately buys
the native woman. Temporary unions
with offspring are common in every
place where black and white com
mingle, and when the day comes to
return to the old country she is paid
off, and the children grow up as they
can. The number of half-castes in
one colony alone runs into many hun
dred thousands.
The blame and the shame and the
bad example are laid to the white man.
1t is he who has let down the women
of his race badly in the eyes of the
native by these unions. 1t is he who
has super-mposed his own vices on to
those of the aboriginal. There ought
to be an absolute boycott, at no mat
ter what material cost, by every white
woman of the man who transgresses
in this matter.
1t ought to be point of honor with
every white man to see that the re-
spect he exacts, and eXacts rightly, for
white women shall be extended to all
women of the black races.
Then, and only then, can this veXed
question be tackled fairly.

MINE
STRIKE ENDS IN
PERFECT PEACE

Eeadville, Colo, April 22.-The
miners strike was settled tonight on
the basis of a minimum wage of 81,
cut of so cents a day.
The agreement which ended the
three day strike that threatened the
entire mining industry of the district
was signed this evening by a commit
tee from the newly organized local
union and the managers of the Yak
mines, the Down Town mines, the
IbeX Mining company and the Gar
butt, after several days negotiations.
The Mikado property of the lron-Sil-
yer company is already partially under
water and the management of that
company did pot participate in the
final agreement.
The new scale will be $4 which is
a cut of SO cents. The Yak mine, op-
Grated by the American Smelling and
Refining company, about a month ago
posted a notice of a cut of 81, owing,
it was stated, to the fact that there
was no market for the lead and zinc
produced.
The other large companies prompt
ly adopted the same scale. and when
the men announced that they would
reject the SO so scale and also another
offer of 1915, the Mikado mine de-
cided to cease pumping.
None of the mine managers were
prepared to state just how many me Z
they would take back under the new
scale. 1t is probable. however, that
for time at least production will be
considerably curtailed.

Paris, April 22.--Although the
Italian peace conference delegation
made no official statement on the sub
ject, a member of the delegation told
the Associated Press today that it
considered It useless for the Italian
delegates to take part m further con-
ferences, unless the allies were will
ing to grant their requests.
The Italians remain inflexible IN
their determination to be allotted all
the territory granted them under the
pact of London, with Fiume IN addi-
ton
The indignation of the Italian dele
cation is as strong against the British
and the French as against the Ameri-
cans, and after the failure of Premier
Orlando again today to appear at the
meeting of the council of four the
break between the Italians and the
allies became well defined.
In the meantime Prcmiers Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George and President
Wilson are busily considering the
question of the future of Kiao Chau
with Baron Maxine and Viscount
Chinda of the Japanese delegation.
Wilson Will Not Yield.
The American delegates declared
emphatically that President Wilson is
determined not to yield on the Fiume
question. As America. was not a party
to the London treaty, the president
refuses to discuss controversies aris-
ing over the Dalmatian coast and
other countries covered by the secret
treaty signed by Italy. France and
Great Britain,
1t was learned today that it was at
the suggestion of the Italian delega-
ton that President Wilson remained
away from the meeting Monday
morning when Premiers Lloyd George,
Clemenceau and Orlando and Foreign
Minister Sonnino discussed the Lon
don pact. The meeting between the
representatives of the three powers, 1t
is understood, was extremely unsat-
isfactory, as Italy insisted that the
London treaty should not be affected
by her subsequent agreement to Pres
ident Wilson'S fourteen points and
demanded the literal fulfillment of
the promises made her previously.
The Italian delegates are not pre-
pairing to leave Paris, apparently he
lieving that the allies will approach
them with a compromise before peace
is signed with Germany, However,
the French, British and American
delegates show no signs of weakening
and continue to advise the Italians of
the meetings as If the Italian dele
gates had not bolted.

Mr.. Barth be disbarred from practic-

finally called in to sit in place of Judge

tice Raynolds, had also taken a fling
at the Flournoy case, but he was ac-

Mr.. Barth's attorney; Judge Price is
busy with court duties, and Judge
Hickey could not serve because GER
tain phases of the Flournoy case have
been argued before him.
A. b. McMillen, author of the
charges against Mr.. Barth, was the
first witness called today. Consid-
cradle of his testimony had to do with
an article printed in the Journal on
August IA, 1918, under n Santa Fe
date line, regarding a decision rem
dered by Judge Mechem at Santa Fe
in the Flournoy case, regarding the
disposition of community property.
Mr., McMillen took the position that
the article was not in accordance with
the facts in the case.
He also said he was opposed to try
ing cases in newspapers because of
the effect in financial way on eli
ents.
Mr.. Patton, attorney for Barth ar
gued that the effect of the article
could not be pleaded, only the ques-
ton of its source and truth being ad-
missible.
T.. T. Chase testified regarding a
note given by j, g. Otero for $3.50.
He said he understood his agreement
with Barth to be that the balance due
on the note, above s2,500, would be
paid back to the bank, but admitted
that Barth, after the note was in his
possession, asserted that the bank
owed him some fees, though no agree
ment as to the amount was reached.

had also asserted to him that the bal
