The Variety Artists' Federation in London is trying to induce managers to cease importing colored artists from America.

These English actors are too mild,
   Who seek to have their wrongs redressed.
No manager may be beguiled
   By supplication or request.

Some sterner action is required,
   A union boss they should engage,
If colored folk are not desired
   To "crab their acts" upon the stage.

Ours is the method when in doubt;
   And they should follow in our track.
And, if they'd keep these niggers out,
   They promptly should "declare them black."
