In the South a gregarious, pleasure-loving, improvident race has seemed to be but slightly affected by the economic and industrial changes of the time. The Negro has been the unskilled laborer, the poor tenant farmer, raising his bale or two of cotton and turning it over to the local buyer in liquidation of his debt for the year’s living ex penses. The teaching of institutions like Tuskegee, Calhoun, Hampton are pro ducing a class trained in trades effi ciency and initiative, whose influence is a leaven slowly permeating the mass for industrial uplift and awaken- | ing in the Negro a sense of his econ omic value. The labor shortage has been an advantage to him. ORGANIZE FOR HOME DEFENSE Jersey City, N. J.—A meeting of a number of Colored men was held at the home of Dr. George E.

Not much publicity is being given to the fact, but it yet remains that the labor unions of the north are fighting Colored emigration bit terly. It is a sort of dog in the manger proposition, because while there are not enough union men to fill the demand, they would prevent the Colored people from taking such jobs wherever possible. Emigration continues, however, and will continue indefinitely. So great is the need for labor that rich corporations are absolutely ignoring all union appeals and sending for race men every where. Two companies have written The Monitor and expressed a wish for Col ored workmen, but have asked us to delay a short time so as to determine whether or not importation will create disaffection among their present work-men. One Omaha comps .y expects to hire several hundred me for a job begin ning about October and lasting sev eral months. The Monitor is receiving letters from many parts of the north where Colored men are dissatisfied. Last week letters came from Massachu setts, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio. Michigan and Illinois. Nebraska can and is willing to sup port five thousand Colored farmers. A few have already come and we hope that more will follow. LODGE DIRECTORY Omaha Lodge No. 146, A. F. and A. M., Omaha, Neb.
