Serious Situation for Negroes. One feature of the situation which prom- ises to be serious for the negroes is already Negro labor is to be supplanted by white labor wherever prac- ticable and by degrees. Many employers have determined upon this course, said, in pursuance of a policy which is to be urged upon all employers. upon which they justify this policy to them- seives is the assertion must not be given to those who vote aga'nst the material interests and welfare of their It is urged that the interests of employer and employes should be iden- tical in the preservation of order, good mu- nicipal government and the city’s welfare, and that men who vote against what the employer regards as best should give way to men who will not oppose their employ- This view was presented to negroes in many cases, it is said, before registra- tion day, and they were advised to heed it and suggested that if they could not vote for white man’s government they would do well not to register. Some are said to have heeded the advice and some who did not have already been supplanted in their po- sitions by white laborers. This was the pclicy decided upon also by the democrats Newbern last Friday night at mass as related in The Star's The carrying out of the line of action proposed is yet in an experimental Stage in Wilmington. ‘When the city has passed under the com- plete control of the whites normal labor conditions will probably be -restored.
