most difficult jobs of that nature that
has ever been turned out in this city,

The original of this "cut," together
with the engraving from which it
was printed will form portion of an

several weeks been featuring the
work of various industrial plants in
this city and this time they will feat
ure a different industry, one in which
boys and girls are turned into men
and women of the highest ideals.
Among other things shown in this
window will be an aristocratic bowl
ing pin, one with a real pedigree,
pictures of the last National Bowling
tourney and many other things OF
real interest.
The churches of Augusta stand be-

Everything in the above quotation
is ridiculously wrong except the as
sertion that peace has an economic
foundation. The conflict in Europe
arose not because the people were
drilled and armed, but because each
imperialist power endeavored to
secure control of territory that would
enable it to dispose of it's surplus
pillaged from its own exploited work
ers. Armies and navies were main
tanned in order to defend the far
flung interests of the groups of ma

Firemen of Chicago
Seek Wage Increase
from City Council

The city firemen of Chicago are once
again sending their association presi-
dent, William S. Johnston, to inter
view the politicians in charge of the
city departments to get their attitude
toward a wage increase long desired
by the firemen.
The city council turned thumbs
down on the modest request Of the
firemen and in making up the pres
ent years budget, made no allowance
for a wage raise.
The firemen, aside from the &C
knowledged danger Of their work, the
long hours and lack of hope for ad-
vancement unless willing to become
"a satellite of some minor politician,
suffer from low wages compared to
the present cost OF living and the
necessary extra expenses OF the work,
such as the purchase of uniforms.
They are now trying to get an allow
ance for an increase from their pres
ent salary of $4,000 a year by means

ton bill to be passed by July 1.

Three Hundred Years Of Negro Slavery

highly profitable to the cultivation of
cotton, the slave took on a new and
increased value. The grip of the ruling
class of the South was frightened upon
the institution of slavery and cotton
became stable commodity of the
South land. Then it is that the most
brutal and evil features of slavery
manifests themselves. The wealth of
the ruling class of the South is center
ed around the production of cotton. 1t
is class that becomes exceedingly
wealthy, political dominant, develop
ing all of the characteristic arrogance
Of an old world landed aristocracy.

Predictions arising from this social
anomaly express themselves in the
bitter struggle thru politics for the
capture of political power by either
slave-owning class of the South or
the manufacturing interests of the
North. The struggle tho of peaceful
character at the start turnout period

Abraham lincoln was elected to the
presidency in 1860 representing the
new and budding manufacturing class
of the North. 1t was the first real vic
tory of the recently born republican
party. It was an expression of revolu-
ton and progress. The triumph of the
republican party or manufacturing
class of the North was the death-knell
to the slave-owning class of the South
The secession Of the states of the
south from the union implied a deter
mination on the part of this slave
owning class to conserve its property
interests.
Politically DISTINGUISHED.
The Negro has very religiously adj
hered to the republican party since
his emancipation and because he does
not know that the party which was
once revolutionary and on the side of
social progress has since the last
thirty.fve or forty years become the
abode OF rank reaction. The clauses
OF the American constitution purport-
ing to guarantees the Negro certain
rights and privileges today have be-
come absolute dead letters"
The Negro was used by the repub-
lican party following the end of the
civil war merely as an ally TO aid in
breaking the political resistance of
the once dominant class OF the slave
owning states. This having been ac-
complished the Negro was no longer
needed and was soon thrown over.

LovErT FoRT.wHlTMAN

The importation of African captives
into the new world as slaves, begin
ming in the 10Th century, was the
means of solving the labor problem
of that period. The American colonies
found rich fertile soil, favorable
climate and land blessed with bound
less natural resources. But it was the
problem of securing an ample labor
supply, which could assure the exploit
tation and development of the natural
wealth of the country. The French
and Spanish planters in the West
Indies had used African slave labor
for perhaps more than a generation,
before the practice was introduced in
to the North American colonies. The
indentured servant system was rapidly
proving failure among the American
colonies as the inherent weakness of
the system lay in the fact that the
servant could not be kept for life and
after completing his period of in
denture could himself become a free
holder, thanks to the super-abundance
of land.
Beginnings of Slavery.
The purchase of some twenty Afri-
can slaves at jamestown in 1919
marked the introduction of African
slavery into the North American col
onies. Slavery at the start proving
quite profitable, especially in the cult
walton of tobacco, rice, indigo and the
other commodities peculiar to the
warmer regions of the country, at once
encouraged and lent impetus to the
rapid development of chattel slavery
as an institution on the North Amer
lean continent. AS yet there existed
no racial ill-feeling between the
Negroes and the poor whites during
the early advent of the former into
North America. Racial prejudice took
on a definite and pronounced form
only after slavery had become part
and parcel of American economic life
The~Slave Traffic.
Although slavery existed in all the
colonies, in the North, the slave had
more the status of a domestic servant
but in the South characterized by its
large plantations, the slave was com
mercial factor. In the early part OF
the 10Th century slavery having
proved itself economically improbable
in the North there developed a strong
public sentiment for its abolition. Yet
we find that the puritan-fathers OF
New England, although denouncing
the institution of slavery as a great
moral evil had no moral scruple in
making large profits in maintaining a
three-cornered trade thru the importa

But II is to be noted that turnout
the colonies even in the South there
had developed in the middle Of the
18th century a growing sentiment fol
the abolition of slavery as an insti

ties in Virginia, in the Carollnes, and
