Abstract

In the Driftway

August 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

With American Negroes learning to shoot, and winning the highest praise-praise even beyond that conferred on their white comrades-in-arms-by their fighting in France, and this disappearance from public life of its most solemn champion, Anglo-Saxon race integrity is in a sorry way. Charles M. Schwab's great success in winning the enthusiastic support of the shipyard workers is largely due to his own unaffected boyishness. Wealth has not affected him; he likes nothing so much-except a good game of poker-as to tell a joke on himself, and his sense of humor is quite unspoiled. He has the rare quality of making men feel that they are working with and not for him, and his employees never forget that he was once one of them and worked his way up.
