ster 3217 and a committee wi',1 call

Letters from Our Readers
DOES NOT CONO R
WITH THE MONITOR
Editor Monitor: I do not concur
with The Monitor for publishing
what I call first hand news. I speak
ol Lieut.-Col. Young. Colonel Young
at present is a lieuienant-colonel.
His next promotion would be colonel
and not a general. Colonel Young is
not immune from becoming disabled
for active service. Major Frank A.
Barton, an old commander of mine,
v.as retired the 28th of last month for
disability, incident to the service. He
was then first on the list for Lieut.
Colonel. We ought to hear first from
Colonel Young. Such reports if not
true would probably cause Colonel
Young to make an explanation to the
war department. I am sure we would
do nothing to harm such a gallant and
distinguished man as Colonel Young.

CORRECTION
Philadelphia, July 5, 1917.
Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor of
The Monitor:
Dear Sir—In reading the article of
the Parker and Cropp nuptials I find
that it stated that they were served
from two plates that the groom’s
great-grandfather and great-grand
mother were served from sixty-two
years ago. Will you kindly correct
the date. It should be seventy-nine
years ago, as they were married April
19, 1838.
Yours with thanks,

LABOR NOTES
The order issued July 1st by the
Southeastern Passenger Ass’n. has
forced The Monitor to materially
change its plans for future business.
Not only will it be necessary to es
tablish permanent bases to work
from, but it will require the utmost
secrecy upon the part of all appli
cants. Reliable men will be placed
in various large cities from whom
applicants may obtain money to pur
chase tickets to certain points and it
becomes necessary not only to deter
mine the reliability of applicants, but
to determine as well the possibility
of keeping people from talking evert
among themselves. Getting men out
of the South has become a risky busi
ness, not only for those engaged but
for those leaving. In parts of Tennes
see men are not allowed to leave even
after purchasing their tickets and the
prospects are that men will be in
timidated in many others places. As
far as possible the applicants will be
routed over the M. & 0. and Frisco
lines for the reason that these two
lines have placed themselves in a
position justifying the trust and con
fidence of Colored people leaving.
The Monitor still asks for the appli
cants to be patient, because the task
now is no easy one. It requires care,
secrecy and hard work.
Forty-two men were brought from
St. Louis to Duluth, Minn., for the
Minnesota Steel Mills. Most of them
were East St. Louis men, leaving be
cause of the riot. Many more men
are still needed.
Many men are arriving in Omaha
from the south, mostly applicants
through The Monitor, and all are
being placed as rapidly as they ar
rive.
James Woods, of Pensacola, has se
cured a place in a garage in Omaha
paying him $18.00 per week. James
Taylor, also of Pensacola, has been
employed as a chauffer at the salary
of $16.00 per week and board.
About 2,000 Colored men who re
turned to work in East St. Louis w-ill
leave as soon as the Federal soldiers
are removed from the city.
Many applicants write letters in
quiring as to wages paid in the north.
W'ages vary, but The Monitor does
not bring men for any work paying
less than 25 cents per hour.
Many labor agents were in St.
Louis trying to persuade the refugees
to return south to Kentucky, Missis
sippi, Tennessee, and Virginia, but
they had little luck. “No more
south!” was the slogan from all lips.
The American Smelting and Refin
ing company has a contract job for
which more than 200 men will be em
ployed in about six or eight weeks.
All men will be brought from the
south through The Monitor.
F. C. W’illiams, member of The
Monitor Employment department,
spent several days in Mobile recently
in an effort to perfect arrangements
toward making Mobile the base of
operations for bringing men out of
Southern Alabama and Florida.
