colored porters Of the Southern
Pacific Pullman ears and their
wives.
What a change from the days Of
Uncle Toms Cabin, and the change
is as great for white workers as
Il Is for colored men. Seventy
Ave years ago pious New Eng
landecs, excited about abolition"
and the terrible lot of poor black
slaves in the South, were told by
the late Albert Brisbane, "By all
means free the black slaves in the
South. But what about white
slaves in your own New England
factories? What about the white
women who go to work in your
cotton mills before daylight and
get home after dark? 1t is worse
than black slavery, because the
black slave owner keeps him fed
and healthy that he may continue
to live and work, whereas you don't
care what happens to your white
slaves, since you can get, for moth
ing, moro when they die"
Slavery can be and has been as
had on q fwa0e basis" as on
basis Of physical slave ownership.
Modern industry, highly produc-
ays, intensely organized, immense
~ profitable, takes a step toward
civilization when 1t allows those
that do the work and produce the
comforts to have some comfort for
themselves.
Those colored women, driving
their husbands to work, in good
automobiles, VIII cause the foolish

world coming to-" It is coming to
better days, greater happiness for
the crowd and greater security for

Certain clergyrnen are accused

want them investigated by a Con-
gressional Judiciary Committee.
A clergymen is "red" when he

bones in enough water to make a

gravy or sauce that will furnish
chicken flavor. In large pan cook
slowly in two tablespoonfuls of but
ter an onion which has been minced
fine. Do not let the onion brown.
To this add the quart of chicken
broth. When it boils up rapidly
sprinkle in slowly three fourths of a
cupful of rice which has been washed
free of surface starch. Cover the
pan. Allow the rice to simmer in
the broth. and the grains will be
until the grains swell and become soft
Shake the pan from time to time to
keep the rice from sticking, but do
not stir it unless absolutely neces-
sary. BY the time the rice Is done
it will have absorbed practically all
the broth, and the garins will be
large and separate. Then add the
small pieces Of chicken which were
picked from the bones, turn the mix
ture onto a hot platter and sprinkle
it generously with grated cheese. The
Italians use Parmesan cheese, but
any of the American varieties hard
enough to CRATE will be satisfactory.
