The packing companies asked them to return and remain at the plant until the matter should be ad justed, but many of them feared that such an act would result in trouble. Out of ten men brought from the south last week to work at the Smel ters, three absolutely refused to go to work. The result is that the com pany will not send for any more men this year. The Monitor has brought more than 500 men from the South this year and intends to set the mark at 5,000 for the next season. The time of the year is coming when it will be wise for our people in the south to remain there until next spring. Chilly weather is setting in and unless acclimated to it, there would likely be a great deal of dis comfort and sickness among a large number of persons coming north. Out of sixty men placed at one ; plant by The Monitor, nineteen have [ broken their promises to repay the i company their transportation. They 1 are making it very hard for the thou I sands of others who are in the south j ! and want to leave, but they seem to j be the class of shiftless Negroes who ! do not care. Henry' Owens, of Florida, who has suffered about two years from a gun shot wound in the ieg, was sent to the hospital by the American Smelting and Refining Company. He is now fully recovered and able to work. The operation cost him nothing. See Hawaiian dancers at Mecca hall next Wednesday night, under manage ment of Mrs. Lizzie Buford.
