COLORED FACTORY GIRLS Experiment in Detroit of Employing Only Negro Workers. One of the most important experiments of labor that has ever been made in the northern states, as now being worked out in Detroit, Mich, where one of the largest factories in the city employing female help is filled only with Negro workers. The result of years of study and observation of the factory owners, this experience has now reached a point where it presages revolutionizing of factory life and opens to the hundreds of thousands of colored girls in the North the promise of a field of labor heretofore practically closed against them. Since the beginning of the experiment, seven months ago, almost every colored girl in Detroit has applied for a place, and today it is frankly admitted that if the doors of other Detroit factories were thrown open to colored workers, hundreds of employees could be secured who would work for less than white girls now demand. In view of the fact that the experiment in the Progressive Knitting mills has proved that colored girls are peculiarly adapted for factory work. Detroit employees and thousands of young women now face a problem which is undoubtedly of national interest at the present moment. This innovation in Detroit was only after an investigation by members of the firm, which covered a period of several years. One of the members went personally among the Negro families and for a long time made acquaintance with Negro women. This investigation revealed the fact that of the 7000 colored women in the city, there were at least 1000 young women willing to accept employment of almost any kind. Many of these girls were well educated, and a few possessed college educations. Each year the Detroit public schools have been graduating Handy R BENTLEY & D Regular Meals and Hot Lun to give complete satisfaction HOT FISH, FRIE AND FRI Regular Meals and Hot Lunches, at all hours, guaranteed to give complete satisfaction, or money refunded.

They were barred from stores and offices, and in one instance, where it was proposed to bring in a colored clerk, a dozen white girls threatened to run away. Not only young women of education, but others of considerable talent, were found holding menial positions which barely provided them with a livelihood, and it was believed by the proprietors of the factory that if such young women could be brought into factory life the results would be highly gratifying. Soon after this it was advertised that a new factory just completed by the company would employ only colored girls. Immediately hundreds responded, and of these nearly a hundred were employed and set to work. At the present time the Progressive Knitting mills presents an unusual object lesson. Of the hundred girls employed there, 80 have received a fairly good school education, nealry a score are either high school or college graduates, and only recently one girl left the factory to become a teacher in the State Normal at Yipsilanti. The factory numbers among its emoloyes two girls who have graduated in photography under one of the best professors in the city, and yet have been unable to secure employment in a photographic establishment on account of their color. Among the 100 girls there are 40 who pay on some musical instrument, half of them being pianists. In their leisure hours three of them teach music. Already several of the Knitting mill girls have formed themselves into an orchestra which will soon number twelve pieces. Two of the colored girls employed are china workers, one is a young woman who has won local fame as a stage manager, another is an elocutionist of considerable ability. Numbered among the workers are ten girls who occasionally take part in amateur theatricals, SEDALIA, MO., SATURDAY, JULY, 7, 1906. and it is said that two of these will soon leave the factory to act in vaudeville. Fifty per cent of the girls are well read in current literature and the best authors. In the factory they earn from $5 to $8 per week. The output from the factory has steadily increased, and has now reached a point neyer before equalled in the history of the mills. At the beginning many of the girls came to the factory as early as 6:15 in the morning, but the employers did not believe that this "over-promptness" would last long. Now, however, each morning sees a half of the girls at the works at 6:30, half an hour before they are required to be at their tables, and during the seven months only two girls have reported late: LINCOLN INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL.

Sentiment no longer controls the political activities of the American people. This is the age of practical common sense in politics as well as in business. White men no longer allow allusions to antebellum days to sway them to cast their ballot against their best business interest. Negroes, while they love the Republican party for what it has done in the past, have come to the conclusion that "past blessings will not suffice" forever. Present deeds done appeal to us with as great an attraction as our solid vote aids the party whenever it is in close quarters. Last year's vote will not do the party any good this fall. Nothing short of our loyal support will give it the success that is available. If the party gets our solid support, what may we anticipate in return? It will be useless for the Republican politicians to start out now to tell the Negroes about the glorious achievements of the past fifty years. We have read of them. But tell us what is to be achieved within the next forty weeks. Tell us what is expected of us and what we may expect when we have performed our task. Meet the Negro voter upon the same basis or platform that you do the German, Irishman, union labor or any other class or element of the party's constituents. Assure us of something tangible. When we vote for men, we vote them into positions of real honor and worth. No man devotes his time in making his campaign for a mere sentimental idea. We have concluded that it is well for us to be honest and frank to state that we wish to be counted in on the ground floor since we are asked to carry the material that make it. Politicians are planning to carry the state; we are planning to look after our own interest. Organ Voluntary.
