ing He accompanied Mrs. Malone
where he was shown through and
expressed very great surprise and
delight at the magnitude and spirit
of this great institution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malone have been
generous contributors to many or
CARNATIONS and welfare movements
throughout the country. In 1915
they made what was then the larg-
est contribution ever made by col
ored people to any organization,
namely $4,000 to the building fund
of the Pine Street Y. NJ. G. A. Since
then they have made such notable
contributions as $4,000 to the en-
dowment fund of the Medical Depart
ment Of Howard University. From
time to time substantial contribu-
tions have been made to Tuskegee,
Wherefore University and Y. M. G..

of the country. They have also been

under the leadership of Mr.. and Mrs.

This gift of $4,000 shows that
the Negro is developing rapidly along
business lines, and that he is willing
to bear his share Of responsibility
for the social and religious uplift
of his own people. When it is re-
membered that building for col

the present campaign and that this
will be the second Y. M. G. A. build

industrial history The training OF up
prentices has been one of the funda-
mental principles of industrial needs.
The Negro apprentice, though has beea
rarity He has been denied an en-
trance into the trade schools of indus
trial experience. Employers have pre-
ferred to hold him within the limits
of the unskilled class. And now that
restricted immigration and child Ia
Dor restrictions are lowering over the
heads of American employers, they ale
sounding the doleful cry of shortage.
Let them discard this cry for one o.
preparedness by taking on Negro ap-
prentices and training them for, and
advancing them to, skilled occupations
Let there be hopes for the more than
four million Negroes. ten years OF age
or over, in this country, that they may
if they WISH enter upon apprentice
ships, assured that after an adequate
period of service, they may graduate
in to skilled workmen, and thus swell
the meagre representation which they
now have in this select group

SKILLED LABOR SHORTAGE AND
APPRENTICESHIP.
preston News service)

American industry is sounding the
cry of a shortage of trained mecha1-
les in many trades, particularly those
in the building industry. 1t is admit.
ted that this shortage of skilled work
men is due to dependence upon Europe
and the failure of American industry
to train apprentices to meet its needs,
Both employers and organized labor
are trying to find ways to meet the
distressing shortage, and despite their
frantic endeavors to provide addition
al training and vocational schools, and
thus grind out over night as 1t were
a new array Of carpenters, structural
iron workers and other craftsmen of
technical experience and training, 1t
would seem, to the most casual Observ

has been overlooked.

fill the enormous gap in America

ers did not have sufficient amount OF
good faith to accord this labor the full
