The address of the New Orleans

The N. A. A. C. P. has also tele

NEGRO LABOR IN THE UNITED

cents.
Professor Wesley's monograph is a
scientific and historical survey of the
progress of Negro labor in the United
States since 1850. Beginning with the
plantation system of the South, and
it's attendant necessary condition of
slave labor, the book follows the Ne
gro through the Civil War and the re-
construction period to his place in
modern industry.
The idea of the Southern agricul-
tural system was to keep the Negro
farm-laborer; but long before the
Civil War, certain black freed men
of the South had sought and found
employment in the industries. These
had proved themselves capable work
men, and had refuted the old argu-
ment that the Negro could not be sue
cessful at skilled labor. When, fol
lowing the war, the big plantations
were broken up, and thousands of
slaves found themselves, theoretically
at least, free, numbers of them turned
toward the factories. White labor
ers resented the encroachment of
black; the two races could not work
together; and there were few capital
lists who would hire black laborers
Riots ensued, but the Negro continued
to establish himself in positions re-
curing skilled labor in spite of race.

FUNNY PROHIBITION

About the funniest antic thus Tar
of the prohibition enforcers, as they
are called, is to apply for an injunc-
tion to stop an alleged nuisance in a
Washington ID. c. cabaret. The al
legged nuisance consists of serving
ginger ale, glasses and ice to guests.
1t is not charged that the cabaret
sells liquor, but that it dispenses
soft drink-to-wit, ginger ale, glasses
in which to drink it and ice with
which to cool it.
Of course the prohibitioner enforc-
ers, as they are called, fear that pur-
chasers of this equipment will add
their own favoring to suit their
taste, but they can't charge that in
court, so they charge as far as they
can go.
