Chicago-111. March 6.--What .wllj
go down In history as one of the
most unique events ' ever he'd In
Chicago was the banquet tendered
Majoi White t tho 370th Infantry
the old 8th regiment by the public
I Life Insurance Company at their Dis-
trict offices Friday evening. More
than 300 officers and guestr. assem-
bled to pay homage to this returned
hero. Major White Is a director of
tbe rublli Life Insurance Company
and the t'ompany was the host on
this occasion. After the r.plendid
supper Major White was presented
with a solid go'4 watch . ret with
diamonds by Mr. Ci'ivcr president of
: the company. The - prcs&itctinn
speech was made by rcprescn-tlvc
'Adelbert H. Robert:-. Superintendent
Gillispie acted rs toist ivrster. Alon?

next Colonel of that regiment.; Col.
John R. Marshall; Col. Johnson Mil
R. R. Jackson. Attorney. Edward H.
Wright. Rev. Dr. Thomas of Evanston
and other . Major White In a brief
addrcrs stated that he was unable
to make a speech put deeply ap-
preciated the manifestation m his be-
half. Every speaker set forth the im-
portant fnet that the time has come

tight floors. There will be black-
smiths and blacksmith's strikers and
helpers who will forge fittings on
the ships such as rail staunchions
ring bolts pad eyes pipe flanges
etc. The furnace men and furnace
men's helpers will bend plates an-
gles and steel shapes to the re-
quired curves or bevelling angles
and channels for ship work. There
will be bolters and llnermen who
will assemble and bolt up. temporari-
ly the several parts of tho ship so
that they can be permanently rivert-
ed. They will also where required
fit liners for the reverters. The cem-
imntcrs and tho cementers' helpers
will put cement in toward and after
peak tanks or elsewhere about the
ship and tho fresh water tanks the
wash rooms etc. There will be clip-
pers who will trim off and smooth
the edges of plates and castings..
After then the clippers will come
the calkcrs who will see that all
edges of plates rivethetds etc.-" are
made watertight. The drillers and
reamers when necessary will alter
holes In the plates so that they will
match properly. When holes are un-
even the reamers will by reaming
make them cylindrical so that the
rivets will entirely fill the holes and
thus prevent play of plates and leak-
age. The drillers and reamers be-
cause of their opportunity to do piece
work will be among those receiving
the highest pay. There will be ship
fitters Joiners machinsts painters
and punchers. The riveters with
their assistants the buckers heaters
and passer..' will occupy one of the
chief places in the ship construction
and will be among those receiving
the highest pay.
And other advantage of this indus-
trial opportunity at the Chickasaw
ship building plant and the Fairfield
Plate shops is that there is to be
no discrimination in wages . paid
whites and Negroes. The Negro work-
men are to receive the same pay
that white workmen receive for the
same kind of work. In any word
Negroes are to be given a man's
chance on a man's job. Here is in-
deed a great opening for black men
with desire to do skilled work and re-
ceive the same pay that skilled work-
men receive; for it is still true that
in many "sections of the country
black men are doing skilled woik
for which they are receiving the
pay of unskilled labor.
