'A sweeping crusade to rid the levee
of its notorious negro dives is being
irranged by members of the Steam
boat Managers' association, and a
iieeting to prepare the plan of cam
paign is to be caller, at an eirlv date.
The move is prompted bv the diiTI-
ulty the steamboat llms experience
n getting sufficient ' roustabouts i to
mndle their freight and work aboard
Oiip and the exorbitant demands in
he way of wages made at times by
hese. The steamboat men are con

iv a few bosses, who dictate to them
when and where they shall work ami
