THE GREAT STRUGGLE HAS
BROUGHT TO RACE WOMEN
AN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY
MUCH is being said now about man
power in the world war, and that
means women power as well. This
brings to all the women of America an
opportunity such as they have not had
in all their lives. Immigration has
ceased and the work of women must
in a great measure be done by the na
tive-born.
This opportunity has come to Col
ored women as well as to all others.
In the past very few of them have
been encouraged to seek places in the
better paying tasks of the skilled
trades and so they have been rele
gated to the very rear of the indus
trial army. The Colored women have
not been able to advance as much as
the Colored men, for they have had
small chance at anything except the
most thankless drudgery. There are
many persons who deplore the fact
that they are unable to employ ser
vants now and others because they
are asked to pay more for the services
of Colored women. The Colored wo
men welcome this opportunity as one
that will give at least some of them
emancipation.
Miss Eva Q. Bowles, a Colored sec
retary of the national board of the
Y. W. C. A., declares that $200,000 of
the board’s war work budget is for
the advancement of the interests of
Colored women, “to protect Colored
girls in wartime, to help woman rela
tions of men in service and to encour
age women to show what they can do
in war work and in filling industrial
positions.” Miss Bowles is the special
representative for all Colored women
on the Y. W. C. A. war work council
and her idea is to do everything for
the Colored girl which is being done
for the white girl. She is particularly
interested in the education of Colored
girls as to proper standards of work
and wages. “Unless the white girl sees
her responsibility to the Colored girl,”
she says, “the white workers will
themselves be injured by lowered
standards.”
This is a timely appeal for co-oper
ation among all sorts of workers to
protect labor standards, and another
very timely appeal was that to the
American Federation of Labor for
more attention to Colored workers.
This latter met with a cordial re
sponse at the last convention, when
Colored mens' unions, even from the
South, were recognized with cordial
ity and the employment of Colored or
ganizers was organized, with approval
of Southern white men, as well as
those from the North.
For many years in the garment
trade unions Colored women have
been welcomed on equal te-ms with
white members, and they provp excel
lent unionists. In the meat packers'
unions in Chicago they are proving
enthusiastic and valuable, and in
many other trade unions, notably the
waitress’ they hold their own very
well. So there is no reason for con
sidering them a threat to labor stand
ards where their fellow workers rec
ognize their abilities and rights.—F.

INSPIRATION
OPEN, O my Soul, to the beaming
rays of Love
That shall light thy way onward to
the realms above!
Thou wert not destined for the sordid
ness of earth;
Greater is thy heritage; priceless is
thy worth.
Onward thou must go to the higher
realms of Light.
Reach up! For thou art not a creature
of Dark Night:
Darkness, squalor, doubt, ignorance,
death and despair
Are not thy portion; but Life, full, ail
light and fair.
Go on and carry on into thine heri
tage,
And, O Soul of Light, be thou free
from all bondage!
—Constine Homer in Southwestern
Christian Advocate.

I’ve been, and I’m on me way back to

“Ye ‘don’t say so,” said the other
“It’s meself that’s just after being
flown to Kilkenny, and I stop here a
bit before I go to Kilmore.”
“What assassins!” exclaimed tne
Frenchman. “Would that I were safe
ly back in France!”—John Bull.
