Sc a Week for Negro Women
A large majority of the Negro

Bosses Encourage Race Hatred
In these factories there are also
to lie found white women laboring
under the same miserable conditions.
The very clever bosses are putting
on supposed to be friendly rival
competition. They are using the fol-
lowing policy. They tell the Negro
women that the white women put out
more work than they and the next
day the white women are told the
same thing. This system is respon-
sible for several things, first it IN
creases the bosses profits, second IL
keeps al Of the women in the fear
of dismissal and third it arouses
hatred between the races.

We find the delegates letting nom

sign slips to the effect that they

For instance, the other day, one of
our fellow workers went on a job

on the docks there were about 200
union men waiting for job. There

STOPPED and silent, homeward bound,
He wends his weary way;
Eats his supper, seeks his bed,
So ends the work worn day.
Tired and grouchy, half awake.
His bronzed voiced master calls:
Bolts his coffee, grabs his lunch,
And back to work he crawls.
At his place machinery like,
He puts in bolt two-ten;
And never knows from where they come,
Nor why he puts them in.
STOPPED and silent, homeward bound,
He wends his weary way;
Eats his supper, seeks his bed.
So ends the work worn day.

Again to work he goes.

C0SGRAvE SENDS UPTON MESSAGE
Irish President Says Country
 Hopes for 1881 Race

Belfast, Northern Ireland. Sept. II P-A message of good luck to Sir Thomas Lipton in his attempt to bring back the Americas Cup with his new yacht Shamrock V, was sent today by President Cosgrove of the Irish Free State, through the Asso- ciated Press.
 "All Irishmen without distinction of party are united in wishing Sir Thomas success in his great enter prise" the message said. He halls from Clones, which is in the Free State close to the border. His coun- trymen north of it, have no doubt, are following his adventures with as great keenness and anxiety as we do, especially as his challenge is from a northern yacht club.
 No sportsman can fail to admire the spirit which Sir Thomas mani fested in his repeated attempts to bring the cup to Ireland, and we trust as result of the present ser ies to be given the opportunity of welcoming thousands of Americans to our shores when the next contest takes place."
 Officers of the Royal Ulster YAcht club in Belfast have gone to the United States for the cup races.

New York, Sept. Il R@The bulls lost some of their fervor on the curb market today. A resumption of yesterdays profit taking at the opening carried through the fore noon hours, but there was some en- couragement for the cause of high CT prices in the fact that trading turned dull on the decline.
 Short selling was relatively inef- fective and stocks acquired consid- erable stability by afternoon when efforts wefe made to point the mar ket higher.
 The small variations in the active stocks were reminiscent of the quiet summer days when prices drifted. Utilities, which have been the lead erai in recent bullish demonstrations. met support just below yesterdays closing prices and recovered their small losses with little difficulty, but these shares, as, group, were fea- tureless.

There was good news for the mar. ket in Secretary Mellon's decision to retire s1,14s,ooo.oo0 of 314 per cent treasury notes on March s1 next. for this obviously means that the treasury expects to refund at 8 lower interest rate and therefore anticipates a continuation of cheaI money. which will help bonds in general.
