LABOR CONDITIONS In

The Chicago Urban League has re-
Gently sent out letter to more than
a hundred industrial plants trying to
find new openings or additional jobs
for colored men and women.
OF all the answers, only two give
any encouragement-of these one says
he can use only few" and the other
wants eleven (l1) skilled workers.
These plants are so we'll supplied that
they can fill what few vacancies they
have from time to time, from appt-
cants at their gates.
Employment figures Of the League
also reflect the scarcity Of work. II
May the League filled 1,2oo jobs; in
Tune, 1914; in July, 875; in August.
$50. September showed a slight i1-
crease by furnishing 685. But there
we're almost four (4) applicants for
every job the League had to give, for
We had 2,745 applicants in September.
This should suggest to persons

either bring along enough money TO

EX-GoV. SULZER IN HIS OWN
BEHALF
To the Editor of The World:

To the Editor of The World:
AS several newspapers have called
attention to the supposed analogy of
Gov. WaIton's case in Oklahoma and
my case in New York, will you be
good enough to say for me that there
is no analogy?
At a conference at the Executive
Mansion in Albany the evening of
Aug. 9, 1918, my friends advised me to
sign a proclamation declaring martial
law in Albany County and instruct
the militia to dispense the Assembly
because it was about to meet in viola
ton Of the Constitution Of the State.
Suffice it to say that refused to
sign such a proclamation, and said
then and repeat now: mo man is a
greater believer than | am in the SUI
premacy OF the law. NO man, high or
low, rich or poor, is above the law, no
matter what he thinks are his rights
or what he believes to be his griev-
ances. No man must take the law in
his own hands. Sooner than sign that
proclamation declaring martial law to
save my Office will sacrifice the Gov
ernorsh:p, on the principle that the
law is supreme and every man must
bow to its supremacy"
The fact that | was advised the
Assembly was to do an unlawful act
was no reason why l should take the
law in my own hands. If had to
go through now what / did 60
through in 1913 I would do today just
what | did then-submit to the civil
authorities.
