To Fill Vacancies.

The Old Dominion Shirt Co.. openeda branch of its factory at 727 North 3rdSt. Sewing machines were put in placeand run by a 7-horse power gas engine.At its main factory in Manchester, Va.,it had much trouble with the whitegirls on account, it is alleged, of thelow wages paidIn this ease however, it was adver¬

tised that girls could make from $3 to16 per week, and it was bu: » shorttime before 260 colored girls had regis¬tered their names although only from40 to 60 were needed.The establishment has been runningabout three weeks or more and the

girls became restless as to the amountof compensation. They were givenbooks in which were placed the resultof their labor.On Saturday last they got an idea

of how much they would be paid,"whichwas 31**' cents for sewing twelve pairsleeves, one cent per dozen for hem¬ming and six cents for making ouedozen shirts, the patterns being cutout before band.As a result of this on Monds/ for two

and three weeks' work some of thegirls received from 80cts. up to f1.60,a few received as much aa two dollars.Tuesday morning, out of over fortygirls employed, not over ten or twelve

reported for work. New ones weresent for and the number on, Wednes¬day last increased to about twenty,bat there are many vacant spaces attbe machines.Those who seem to know by experi¬

ence leout the idea of being able tomake $3 CO per weex, believing thatonly an expert could accomplish theteak.The hours of work were from 7

o'clock to half past five, one half hourbeing allowed for lunch.

A SOLDIERSPEAKS PLAINLY.

CONDITIONS IN CUBA.

Colored Officers and theRegulars.

NO SIGNS OF DISLOY¬ALTY.

A Stinging Rebuke.

The letter bearing date of June 18th,189©, and signed "Lieutenant, CasualDetachment," discrediting the patri¬otism and loyalty of our men of the24th and 25th Infantry, which wai published in the Plamrt. may have beenwritten by a civilian who used the titleof'lieutenant" to give weight to hismalicious statements; but it is quitelikely that the writer used his truetitle.

A RKCKStT APPOlNTBR.

If the latter be true the cither inquestion was without doubt either oneot the recent appointees to commis¬sions in the Regular Army who hasnot seen enough service to know any*thing of the colored saldier or by onewho is too much of a coward to facethe Fillipinos in battle himself sndhopes to keep his regiment at home byharping on tha untrustworthiness olits men.

A CLOAK FOR COWARDICE.

To the majority of the read-era of this letter, most ofwhom bow well know something ofthe Negro as a soldier, this writer,sheltered under the protecting title of'lieutenant," ahows how baae ha eanbe. It would have been far better hadhe dispensed with the title, for hismore conscientious brother officers feelit their duty to see that titles are notused in the Army aa a doak for cow¬ardice.

A WORD ABOUT THR MAJORS.

And be would have the four majorsof the 24th and 28th Infantry deatinedfor the Phillipines to use their influ¬ence to keep the two regiments in theUnited States for fear of being shot ?Well, if those four majors are like themajors with whom I have come in con¬tact, they will do no such thing, andour "lieutenant" will go to the Philli¬pines unless he oan devise some otherm*ana to keep back. I know severalofficers who were hated by their menabout as much as any offloera ara averhated and went through the Cubancampaign without being shot by theirmen and are so-day with their regi¬ments.

HO PARTICULAR OBUDOR AOAIRST HIM.

I hops the "lieutenant" will not tryto influence officers of high rank withthe idea that we hold any particulargrudge against them. As a rule theyare the fairest toward us. Had thoseholding civil positions been as liberaltoward us as have been many of ourArmy otVicers, many of whom havetheir haads tied, numbers of our menwho endured the hardships of the San¬tiago campaign would now be holdingaubstantial positions in the Govern¬ment service.But, does not the very way this offi¬

cer goes about making public the dis¬covery show cowardice?

THAT CHARO*. OP DISLOYALTY.

Does it not ahow that he is too muehof a coward to make officially a chargeof disloyalty, attach his name and sendit to the proper authorities throughthe proper military channels as lt ishis duty t> do? Is it not hissworn duty to make this report? Doesit not place him outside of the pale ofrespect of his brother offlsers to shirkin this manner so important a militaryduty, and thus change what wouldproperly be an official report into whatis very improperly a base slander?True, this ''lieutenant" did not hearhimself the words of unpatriotism anddisloyalty, but if the words of his in¬formant were grounds enough for hisletter, it should have been grounds foroharges.

WILL UPHOLD ""HR NATION'S HONOR.Much as we detest this Fillipino wsr

we hope always to uphold the honor ofAmerican soldiers, to whom mutiny isa stranger, wherever we be, whetherahooting Cuban bandits or suppressingpatriotic Fillipinos.

I would say to the "lieutenant" inquestion it would be far better for himto attend strictly to his duties until behas been in the servioe long enough toknow something about the characterof the men he has been sent to soso-mand, and not stop to calculate on his.fiances for life when ordered on an er¬rand of any kind, for if he do hiscourage will surely fail him ; but if heis really afraid to go to the Philippinesresign, resign ! The Regular Army is noplace for cowards.Don't try to oljak your cowardiceunder the Negro's lask of patriotismand loyalty, bat resign anti let lome

other brave white man take your placeor aome Negro first sergeant will haveto lead your company in the fight

MR. HUB'S PLAR.

A G'.rantic Scheme.An Appeal to theOslored Folks*

Dear Sir :.I would colonize the Negro on indus¬

trial plans which I think oan be accomplished by subscriptions. We areaware of the fact that while we havefrom eight to ten millions of Negroesin this country, we could raise from fiveto eight millions of dollars by askingfor voluntary subscriptions of ene dol¬lar or more, as each one teds disposedto give : or tbe following plan could beadopted, for instance, we could formfour classes: Class A could give $20 00each; deas B. $10 06; class (J, $5 00;class D. $1.00. and thus we can reachall conditions.

I would that the Bishops au'horiz->each minister under his charge to actas agent, to rollect money from all theNegr.es in the Parish in wriahhelives, and I believe by so doing that inone year the Council oan raise verynearly the amount and we can makearrangements with the True Reformers to deposit in their bank, and th*money to be used bj the council fercolonisation.

TO INVRST IR PROFRHTY.

Let the appeal come through thechurches to our petiole all over thecountry made by the Afro-American. 'ouneil. I think that two or threemillions of dollars should be investedin pronerty. and colonize it mostlyfrom Mississipni. Georgia, North andSouth Carolinas, and as many whowiah to migrate from any other part ofthe country on industrial plana. Therewill be employment for all trades andprofessions.

Liet us lav out our colony, build in¬dustrial schools and colleges. Bj thiaplan the Negro would have his owncolony and could invite capitalists toto invest and we would do well andprosper*

I feel that if our leading men wouldapprove of some sn<*h a plan aad agi¬tate it before our people, they wouldgrasp the idea and very readily fall inwith our plans. Great things would beaccomplished aad the race problemwould be solved,
