Alloy for Gold

In the manufacture of jewelry the
usual alloy for gold Is copper. but In
the making of white gold nickel 10
used. This causes the white color.
and, at the same time. makes the gold
harder and more brittle. The price
varies. according to the amount Of the
alloy used.

Southwest Africa Miners

Approximately $4,000 Southwest
African boys" "a vulgar designation
which gold employers apply to native
labor are employed in the gold mines
of Southwest Africa. This number is
about 5000 less than the total as of the
beginning of last year, and the Trans
vaal Chamber of Mines is becoming
credulous as to whether or not this
years supply Of labor will be sufficient
to keep up the gold output quota of
the English mines Of Southwest At
RIGA. The mine owners have sounded
the warning that the main point to be
borne in mind in connection with the
question of native labor supply is that
the gold mining industry cannot be
economically conducted on a "hand-
to-mouth" basis. meaning that ample
labor must be obtained to insure over
flowing Golfers of gold and profit to the
owners and operators. The same APP
prehension obtains as to the native

girls" OF Southwest Africa, who also
work in the mines as SEWERS of cas-

Yet, the "hand-to-mouth" idea has
constituted the policy which gold mine
owners have applied to the "boys" and
girls" Natives are paid on an aver
age of 6 pence to | shilling pence
per kilo Of ore In the exchange, how
ever, Father Economy has lived a
robust life among the laborers in con-
nection with their food, clothing and
shelter. The long day has prevailed,
and the toll Of life from the exactions
of an unqualified living wage and its
attendant ills has been marked.
Even a worm will turn, however,
and the blacks of the mines are be-
ginning to sit up and take notice.
Barred by prejudice from skilled trades
and apprenticeship, they have lately
made long and loud protest against
the Color Bar Bill" Those of their
ranks who have the vote have used it
with wide discretion in holding from
the Union Council colonist candidates
whose policies were inimical to the
welfare of the natives. They have
awakened to the power of their racial
numbers, and thoughtful leadership is
training them to seek equity rather
than continue to submit to exploita-
ton, the graces of which have made
parts of the Old World, from Belgium
to England, of rich and idle classical
ton. That there are still rich resources
in the dark continent is frequently evil
denced by the frantic scramble the
capitalists make ever now and then,
to some virgin spot; but that past
practices of exploitation and CONVEX
sion are not again to run rampant, to
the prejudice of Africa itself, is be-
ginning to be evidenced by the awaken
ing of the Southwest African himself,
and his indication that he is beginning
to believe that Charity Begins at
Home"

Interstate Commerce Determinations

Interstate Commerce Determinations
Abraham Lincoln said "The legiti-
mate object of governments is to do
for community of people whatever
they need to have done; but cannot
do at all, or cannot so we'll do, for
themselves in their separate and in
dividual capacities" This is exactly
what the colored citizen in America
is seeking. This. 5 what a citizen
traveller, like DIR. Crosby, whose case
alleging discrimination on the part OF
the ST. Louis & San Francisco Railway
Company, was just dismissed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, a
quasi-iudicial tribunal created by Con-
gress in 1887 to enforce the commerce
clause Of the U. S. Constitution, was
seeking. The Commission regulates
rates and practices of common carriers
engaging in the interstate commerce OF
property and passengers over railway
lines in the United States. The Com
mission has power to fine carriers who
fail to respect its orders, and to en-
force strictly the nondiscriminatory
availability of equipment and accom-
modations used in the interstate trans
portation of human beings and articles
of commerce.
For instance, if an interstate shipper
of sheep, cotton, or whatnot is dis
eliminated against by carrier to his
prejudice and in favor Of competitive
shipper, the Commission has power to
remove the discrimination and to fine
the carrier which ignores its order. I'm
der this principle, the Commission
held, many years ago, that "Jim Crow
cars for colored passengers, in order to
comply with the intentions of the COM
merce clause, should be equal, in every
way, to the cars and accommodations
furnished to white passengers. Any
thing other than this, the Commission
held. constituted an unjust discrimina-
ton, inferably as grievious as the dis
elimination against the shipper Of sheep
or cotton.
Several leading cases involving Ne
gro passengers in interstate commerce,
the most recent Of WHICH is the Cros-
by case, have been tried before the
Commission; but their outcome, for
various reasons, has had but few Of
the earmarks of the descriptions ut
tered by Abraham Lincoln in his dis
course upon the objects Of govern
ment. The Crosby case, after the tech
nicalities of the law had been wiped
away, contained but meager comfort.
Some earlier cases were thrown out
without hearing as to merits, be-
cause Of errors in the form and sub
stance of pleadings which counsel for
Negro compliments overlooked in
their zeal to make a case.
1t must be obvious to the Negro
public that the pathways Of the white
mans courts are lined with technica1i-
ties. In fact, the white man, himself,
has been existing upon a diet of tech
nicalities for these many years; until
