The evidence for these statements is derived from an analysis of the occupations of persons whose "place from" is listed as "Ireland" in Gager, Chicago Dir., 1857. Also from an analysis of the occupations of persons with Irish surnames and of persons deSignated as "colored" in Bailey, Chicago Dir., 1864-5, and Halpin, Chicago Dir., 1865-6. It is interesting to note that in the Tribune, Feb. 2, 1983, Vernon Jarrett, a black columnist, tells blacks to learn lessons of unity and mobilized effort from the example of the "old-time Irish." 16.
