100 LABOR LETTERS SENT OUT
One hundred copies of the following
letter were sent out all over the Unit
ed States last week by The Monitor
in an effort to locate work for about
50,000 people who want to leave '.he
South:
Gentlemen: Are you in need of lan
bor and would you consider southern
Colored labor? If so, The Monitor can
supply you with the most reliable,
most industrious and most efficient.
We handle chiefly married men from
the lumber and turpentine camps .n
Mississippi, Florida and Carolinas,
and southern Alabama. Ninety per
cent of these people cannot pay their
fares because of the extremely low
wages paid in the south, but a de
serter is rare among them.
If you need labor and wish to con
sider this class of labor, The Monitor
will be glad to serve you.
Thanking you in advance for your
courtesy, I remain
Yours truly,
GEORGE WELLS PARKER,
Business Manager The Monitor.
LABOR NOTES
The Monitor sent out more than one
hundred letters last week all over the
United States in an effort to locate
several thousand Colored men at once.
There is need for 50,000 now, but the
companies hesitate to advance trans
portation.
ITie Monitor has received a card
concerning an employment office lo
cated in the Chamber of Commerce
Building, Birmingham, Ala. The per
son sending it in says that he has sent
money to that office and has never
beard from it since. People should
beware.
J. M. Neal, to whom The Monitor
sent transportation, writes that the di
vision superintendent of the L. & N.
absolutely declined to honor the pre
paid order., stating that Florida does
not intend to let the Colored people
leave if she can help it.
The I. C. shops located at Waterloo,
Iowa, asked for ten men last week
and the names were sent in by The
Monitor. The ten men are all in Mis
sissippi, this state being traversed by
the Illinois Central and hence no trou
ble is to be experienced furnishing
passes.
It is not likely that the government
will interfere with the Negro exodus.
The North needs the labor more than
the South, and if the northern mills
and factories are to keep up their
output under the stress of war they
will be strong in the demand that the
department of labor leave the situation
alone.
Four of the men to whom The Mon
itor sent transportation are still miss
ing. The loss of $120.00 out of $280.00
is a very large per cent and enough
to make any company very cautious
in the future.
More than 2,000 Colored men ar
rived in Chicago last Sunday. The
city is reported overcrowded and la
bor agents are recruiting there for
ether places.
Colored skilled mechanics may cor
respond with Commandant Rush of the
Charlestown Navy Yard, Charlestown,
Mass. He is scouring the country for
mechanics.
Eleven men came to Omaha last
week through The Monitor. All paid
their own fares and were given work
ai once.
The Monitor can place men in Ohio,
New York, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Delaware,
Massachusetts and Maryland. Fares
have not yet been advanced for these
peaces, however.
SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS.
Deviled toast.—cut crust from
thin slices of bread (whole wheat
or graham). Toast to a delicate
brown and butter while it is hot. Have
ready at your hand a mixture made by
creaming together a great spoonful of
butter with a quarter teaspoonful each
of lemon juice, French mustard and
paprika. Spread each hot buttered
slice with this, sift over all dry, grated
cheese and set for a moment upon the
upper grating of the open oven to re
heat. Eat at once.
Pea Patties.—Make a rich pie dough,
to which one-half a teaspoonful of bak
ing powder has been added, and line
pattie pans. When baked nice and
brown fill with peas seasoned with but
ter, salt, pepper and a little sugar and
thicken with milk or cream and flour.
Cubist Salad.—A crisp lettuce leaf,
then an oblong mound of chopped cab
bage and onion. Alternate slices of
green and red peppers and crown it
all with slices of cooked carrots and a
sprig of parsley. Use either French
dressing or a heavy mayonnaise.
Club Sandwiches.—If the housekeep
er has not cooked chicken in readiness
these dainties may be prepared from
the canned boned variety with excel
lent results. Remove the chicken from
the can, rinse in cold water, dfain and
expose to the outside air for half an
hour. Have in readiness crustless
slices of crisp buttered toast and use
for the filling n slice of the chicken,
two or three heart lettuce leaves, two
broiled slices of bacon, one slice of
peeled tomato and a layer of mayon
naise dressing. Lay the ingredients
one on the other and have the mayon
naise on top. Make the sandwiches
quickly, so that the toast will be hot
when they are served. This recipe pro
vides a delicious luncheon dish at small
cost and i3 one that can be easily and
quickly prepared.
Watercress and Apple Salad.—One
bunch of fresh watercress, a cupful
of sliced tart apple, u tablespoonful of
cider vinegar, six tablespoonfuls of
olive oil, two teaspoonfuls of sugar
and salt and pepper to taste.
Wash and dry the cress, keeping it
as crisp as possible against the ice
before using, and arrange it lightly in
a salad bowl. Pile the apples on top
of the green, and after the dressing
has been separately mixed pour it over
the whole Serve immediately.
