THE TRIUMPHAL NOTE IN BEAU TIFUL MUSIC Monday night marked the most pleasant achievement of good things which the Alhambra theatre is offer ing its patrons. A crowded house listened with wonder to our new pipe organ, the finest of its kind in the city of Omaha. To hear it is the only way to appreciate it.

STUDYING INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS OF NEGRO (Continued From First Page) in any one part of the country and a lack of supply in another. “The class of Negroes, as a body, is better off now than they have ever been before and the policy of the pres ent administration is to improve the condition of the class. “Ninety-five per cent or nearly all of the Negroes of the United States belong to the working class and it is with the idea of improving the con ditions of the majorty that the United States Bureau of Immigration is send ing out representatives to look after conditions of the Negro.” The unprecedented influx of Ne groes from the southern states is at tributed to the fact that foreign im migration is almost at a standstill and it has been necessary to fill the de pleted ranks of unskilled labor from somewhere and the southern Negro offered the best inducements to the seeker for laborers. These gentlemen visited the pack ing plants of South Omaha where they found the usual normal supply of Colored laborers. There has as yet been no unusual influx. Coming to Omaha from Kansas City, the two investigators spent Fri day and Saturday in the city. They left Saturday night for Duluth, Minn., to carry on their work.
