ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Mr. Roy Foutz left Monday to at tend the District Conference and Sun day School Convention which convenes in Kansas City, Kan. All lovers of music who desire to take part in the big chorus, “David, the Shepherd Boy,” will meet with Frof Ben Stanley at St. John Sunday afternoon at 3:30. Because of the great increase of musical talent and the interest being demonstrated, this will be the largest and best musical production we have yet undertaken, and with the thorough training by Frof. Stanley, it will be a musical event that will go down in history for the lovers of music in Omaha. The rehearsing will not begin Sunday afternoon, that is only a “get to gether” meeting. The rehearsals will be in the evenings, those who can’t be present Sunday call Douglas 5914 for the rehearsal evenings. Frof. Stanley, however, desires to meet all who can be present. Little Ida Crockett, of 210 South 28th avenue, won the gold medal at ' Famam School for the best essay on “Tobacco.” Ida is only ten years old, and lives with her widowed mother.

Every member and friend is cordially invited to meet the new members and strangers. Come and get acquainted.

LABOR NOTES So much trouble has been experi enced in getting people out of Florida that an effort will be made to have applicants get to Mobile and from there secure transportation. Mr. Hutter, Labor Supervisor of the Minnesota Steel Mills, was in Omaha Monday of this week to talk over the possibilities of securing men for his plant. The wages have been raised to 30 cents an hour with an optional two hours, making it $3.80 per day. About 150 men are wanted. One thing The Monitor must insist upon, when men say they are ready to leave, let them BE READY. Holding up transportation is simply holding up other good men who want to get away. If you are not ready to leave at once, don’t say that you are. Let the other man have his chance. Because of the local strike the pack ing houses have been temporarily filled. The American Smelting and Refin ing Company intends to use a large number of Colored men and to grad ually supplant certain classes of for eign labor with them. It has been reported to The Monitor that an effort is being made to flood St. Louis with Colored labor and thus lower the wage scale. Men leaving had better avoid that city. Several instances have been brought j to our notice of southern Colored wo- | men doing domestic work at 10 cents j per hour. The woman’s day wages | here for domestic work is $2.f0TLnd everyone knowing women who work and have just come here should ac quaint them with that fact. The selective draft will create a new demand for labor and much of the new labor will have to be Colored labor. LODGE DIRECTORY Omaha Lodge No. 146, A. F. and A. M., Omaha, Neb.
