BRITISH UNIONS PROTEST
Object to Emplayment of Colored
Laborers on the Docks.
—
London, Nov. 25.—Trade unionism, j
which has been growling informally at j
the prospect of the introduction of
Colored labor in Great Britain since
the proposition was first mooted, has
now made a formal protest. The Na
tional Transport Workers’ Federation,
one of the largest unions, has passed
a long resolution condemning certain
proposals of the Government affect
ing labor. The resolution says in
part:
“The federation’s executive hopes
that the authorities will not be so ill
advised as to attempt the introduc
tion of any class of Colored labor on
the docks or other waterside places of
employment. In the existing crisis
to think of employing Colored labor
would mean the recrudescence of all
the trouble and discontent experienc
ed by the increased employment of
Chinese in the mercantile marine."
IF I HAD KNOWN
If I had known what trouble you were
bearing,
What griefs were in the silence of
your face,
I would have been more gentle and
more caring,
And tried to give you gladness for
a space,
I would have brought more warmth
into the place— j
If I had known.
If I had known what thought despair
drew you—
Why do we never understand?—
I would have lent a little friendship
to you,
And slipped my hand within your
linely hand,
And made you stay more pleasant
in the land—
If I had known.

JAPAN FLOATS BRITISH LOAN
The London Times reports that the
British treasury has agreed with
Kengo Mori, the financial commission
er of the Japanese Government, for
a public issue of a British loan of
100,000,000 yen ($50,000,000) in
Japan.
In July last the Japanese Govern

present case it is not the Japanese
Government, but the Japanese people
who are providing the funds.

!:ome to Philadelphia from the south

to a tentative census made recently
y officials from the department of

o figures are available as to the

with these workmen, but a conser
vative estimate, according to A. L.

strong Association, which does work
among the Negroes, would place the
Vegro population of Philadelphia and
ts suburbs at not less than 100,000.
These figures allow for the normal
