It did literally turn the stomach. Many a man staggering blindly along with his three or four horses would pause, vomit violently and carry on.

This is foreign labor. This factor has worked along with that of racial antipathy, and has been the latter's most efficient ally in rendering insecure the interests of Negro labor in the North. As we saw, white workers for the most part have long objected to working with Negroes, and where this was the case, employers usually adopted the ...
