BOY SCOUT NEWS
To inquirers: We get for our ef
forts the satisfaction of knowing and
feeling that we have enedavored to
do our bit, in the interest of our boy
hood, from a racial standpoint, and
without compensation.
We realized in the organization of
our troops that it would not be pos
sible for us to see every parent per
sonally in regard to the aim of the
movement, so we have not adopted it
for a rule.
Yes, there are enough boys for sev
eral more troop. Who will volunteer
to organize them and be their Scout
Master?
The scout movement is a universal
one and should have the co-operation
of every parent who has the coming
boyhood at heart.
Troop No. 3 did their bit in aiding
the Red Cross membership campaign.
The Panther Patrol gaev the Crow
Patrol a walloping in their ball game
last Saturday.
Marcellous Richie bandaged the leg
of a boy who had been struck with
a brick.
Dwight Dorsey carried a bundle of
clothes home for an aged lady.
Harold Thomas cleaned house for a
lady who was sick ahd disabled.
Law 8—A Scout ^s cheerful. He
smiles whenever he can. His obedi
ence to orders is prompt and cheery.
He never shirks nor grumbles at
hardships.

Mr. George W. Parker, Business Man
ager, The Monitor:
Dear Sir—Your letter to the Cham
ber of Commerce has been referred
to this office for reply.
For your information wish to state
that we can use industrious laborers,
independent of creed or color, but re
gret to state that our experience with
Negroes has been very painful, as
they are as a rule a shiftless, unde
pendable class of labor.
There are plenty of places for men
at good, living wages, who are willing
to do an honest day’s work, and any
such class that apply to this associa
tion will be placed wherever any
openings might be.

Mr. George Wells Parker:
Dear Sir—Your letters of the 18th
and 25th to this company have pur
posely been delayed. We are just or
ganizing a labor department in con
nection with our company and the
matter of securing laborers will prob
ably be submitted to that department
for action.
We also find that we are not yet
able to secure a sufficient amount of
farmers ready to accept Colored labor
and until we do it would be useless
for you to make any efforts to secure
immigration. As soon as this matter
gets a little nearer perfection I shall
take great pleasure in writing you
again.
HENRY H. ROLOFF.
Watertown Chamber of Commerce.
Watertown, N. Y., May 7.
Mr. George Wells Parker:
Dear Sir—Replying to your inquiry
relative to opportunities for Negro
labor in this city, would say we have
very few Colored people and doubt if
they would readily find employment.
Our people have never become used
tc employing Colored people and pre
sume, for this reason, it would be
rather hard for them to break in.
F. H. LAMON, Secretary.
Reading Chamber of Commerce.
Reading, Pa., May 12.
Mr. George Wells Parker:
Dear Sir—In reply to your recent
lellter relative to Negro labor desired
in this community, I wish to state
that recently this matter was taken
up in regard to another proposition
tird the information obtained that
there was no work available at this
time.
