In Tuskeenee, Alabams, Mrs. Loren
Williams, wife ot a prominent Chat
tanooga lawyer, in an address to the
students of the Colored State Indus
trial College, recently, said :
“In the north the negro is crowded
out of everything. The trades unions
forbid his learning or working at any
trade. Tney fire not allowed to he
allowed to be street car drivers, car
penters’ brick masons, founders, ma
chinists 01 waiters in lwtels.
“In the South, white and colored
laborers work side by side in ail the
shops and fields, and the white man
makes no effort to hinder the negro
from making an honest living and
acquiring property if he will.
“Soon the time will come when the
Southern negroes will protest against
tlie unfair treatment of their brethren
in the North.”
