LABOR NOTES . An effort will be made this week to get some of our Florida applicants out of the way of Flomatom, Ala. If this effort fails, Mobile will then be made the distributing point. Fifteen tickets sent to Lumberton, Miss., by the Monitor were held up, while a party sent for to Mobile left without t.nuble. A letter from Jay, Florida, informs us that Seth L. Gore was arrested upon the charge of recruiting. This makes the second such report and our people in the south should be ex tremely careful of what they say even to their best friends. Mr. Butter. Labor Supervisor of the Minnesota Steel Mills, was advised fiom a railroad representative at St. Louis, that on acount of the co-oper ation with the state authorities to prevent the exportation of Colored laborers from the Southern States, the railroads are refusing to accept 1 orders. About twenty persons arrived in ; Omaha from the south last week. Work is still plentiful. The M. & 0. out of Mobile has i delivered all transportation to Col ored men promptly and has made no j publicity of the matter at all. A letter reached us last week with the information that a Colored man was killed on the Florida-Alabama line , for saying he was going north. The Monitor will send out hundreds of transportation in the next two f ■« ..... .. «■—«— * AMUSEMENTS * i ... ....... ... «■■«— .......

Biggest and Best. weeks in an effort to get as many ap plicants out of the south as possible before any further steps are taken by the south to hold up transporta tions. Our most difficult proposition is securing transportation for women. It appears that most firms refuse to consider sending for women as work ers, although a company has prom ised to consider it soon. The Minnesota Steel Mills has raised wages to 30 cents per hour and gives straight ten hours with optional two hours overtime. This gives the common laborer the chance to make more than $100 per month and is an exceptional opportunity. A letter from Albion, Mich., this week informs us that the town is over crowded, that families cannot find places to sleep, that men continue to pour in, and that the Albion Malleable Iron Company has cut wages to $2.00 per day. This is the fault of Colored people themselves who rush to a town without accepting or asking advice upon conditions. The same conditions are existing today in St. Louis, Chi cago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other points. NOTICE TO ALL APPLICANTS The L. & N. R. R. has cancelled all transportation along its entire route. The Monitor can get men from Mobile only at the present time. Boston Navy Yard, May 25, 1917. Mr. George W. Parker, 1119 North 21st St., Omaha, Neb. Sir: Answering your inquiry of the 17th instant relative to the em ployment of people in different trades, it is suggested that you communicate with the Department of Labor, Wash ington, D. C., which department, it is understood, has taken up the general subject. Very truly yours, J. C. HILLIARD, By direction. Chicago, May 28, 1917. The Monitor, Omaha, Nebr. Gentlemen: Your letter of May 28th concerning the use of Colored labor: This Company does not feel dis posed at the present time to assume the car fare on this class of labor. W. J.
