NEGRO LABOR INFLUX
PROBLEAA OF CITIES.
NOT OF LABOR
<l’rt«ton New* Service)
Orange, N. J„ Aug. 23.—The steady
influx of Negroes from the South in
the Northern and Middle Atlantic
states has raised a tew questions ru
the minds of persons interested in civ
ic problems. A corumiM.ee from Orange
N. J. has asked the American Pi der
ation of Labor for its views on the sit
uation as to iuggost a remedy it poa
sible to meet the situation. TT.te civ.e s
letter follows:
“What suggestion could be made
a group of loiul workers, through lc
cal union labor organizations, or oiler
wise to meet a situation which seems
to bear at its centler as srrious possi
bility of trouble? Most, if not all of
the labor thue flowing into Northern
Atlantic seaboard regions is unskilled
and possibly ill-adapted tio the climat
ic conditions of this section, which
with overcrowding of housing facilities
creates a health problem. Most of the
children injected into our school sys
terns, are bo»!i mentally and physica'
ly such as to ladically increase the
troubles already erporienced by our
educational systems, both as to hous
ing and additional scholars in our V
ready overtaxed buildings and meet
ing the school population’s needs in
our curricula and time allotments.”
Charles M. Wright, director of pub
licity for the American Federation at
Washington., D. v.., replied as follows:
"For many Northern industrial con
munities the problem of Negro migra
tion from th* South has for four or
five years b?en a most serious one,
and I doubt whether anyone has d's
ooverpd an ymethods by which the se
iousness can he minimizted* except, per
haps in some local instances. So far
as I can see, the question seems, for
the present at least, to he one which
must be met mainly by the good Judg
ment good clt:zenship. and intelligence
o* the people in the communities to
which these migrating Negroes aie
coming. Certa'nly their rights cannot
be restricted and nobody, except the
most reactionary wants to restrict
them.
"I do not 100k upon the problem as
specifically a labor problem, because
it seems to me to be a community pro»
lem at thte vsry least. The migration
'f Southern colored workers to the
North is the result of two things: The
southern colored v, erkers find hig'.er
wages in the North than they get in
the South an-1 many northern employ
ers find it possible to employ the&3
southern colored workers at wages
that would no* he acceptlble to white
wage earners The one sure thing is
that the colored workers cannot he
blamed for coming to the North in
search of wages that offer them living
conditions that have not been avail
able to them heretofore. If there is any
single thing I can suggest as a helpful
measure, it is the organization of co’.
orted workers in trade unions as a mCaa
ure of protection for themselves and
as a measure of assurance that color
ed wage earners will not be used as a
means Of depressing the ages of whito
wage earners."

Dr. Moton Reviews Race
Progress at Meeting.
(I'inton Newt Service)
Hot Springs Ark., Aug. 22.—During
his opening aucress before the annum
mooting of the Negro National Busi
ness Leagu,e. f.r Moton told of the re
markable progress the American Ne
gro has made in this country in spite
of the nvuiy discouraging obstacles
that confront the race.
Dr. Moton su d "Business progre a
of the colored race in America a.*
measured by American business stand
ards, is yet in its infancy. We are just
scratching the turf ace as touching the
great business possibilities tlmt lie be
fore us ns Negroes throughout thn
country.” He called attention to the 72
successful Negro bunks in the United
States and. po’nted out that it is pos
sible for us to have 700.. He spoke o.*
thte large Negro population in Harlem
and expressed the hope that a lar.?u
banking instinxtion would soon be es
tablished in that city. Hie paid n glow
ing tribute to Durham. N. C., Atlant-x.
Ga., Richmond}, Norfolk", Va., Savan
nah and Jacksonville.
Commenting on Harding’s speech at
Birmingham, Ala., he said:_“Tw»
things he soesht for—justice for the
Negro and pence for the South. Some
admired his p.'eu for Justice and deplor
ed hie concessions to the South; other:,
applauded his sympathy with tii-^
South and d'.precated his misundci
standing of tho Negro. But both pai>
ties were satisfied that the President’s
, heart was a* good as gold and that
he sought the rest interest of both par
ties. Having broken the Solid South
without leaving h|is front porch in
Marion, he went into th/e South as a
messenger of peaqe and good will of
justice and righteousness. Today while
and black alike bless Warren G. Hard
ing as a friend.

Big' Bethel’s Call.

Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 23.—The most
pleasing thing is to note tike high stand
taken by the dailies of Atlanta in as
sisting the bVgroes of that city to re
build “Big Bethel” one of tbe most his
toric A M. E. Churches of the South
that was destroyed by fire last winter.
As a typical example of the deep re
ligious fervor we quote an editorial
T cm the Atlanta Journal, under the
caption of “Big Bethel’s Call,” The e<li
tonal follows:
‘‘The pastor and the flock of histor
ic Big Bethel church, which was do
stroyed by fire last February. are 7n

Naturally, they look to their
friends among the white Atlantlans

disappointed.

Generations of song and mourning

prayer and of treasure laid up in coiny
no bigger than the widow’s mite If
ever there was an institution sprung
from a people’s soul and woven ot
their heart-strings), it is Big Bethel.

A perfect cure has been effected
by H. J. Hayden’s Pure Herb Medi
clnee* After waiting thirteen years
and have not suffered from the
horrible disease. Gravel, I desire to
make a statement to L. J. Hayden:
Thirteen years ago twelve leading
physicians of my city treated me for
Kidney trouble and gravel without
the desired benefit. These doctors
advised me to be operated or., as that
was the only chance for me. I was
advised to go and get some of L. J.
Hayden’s Herb Medicine and try he
tore being operated on. I did *o,
and In twenty four hours after using
his medfciribs I passed at lea«t a
half dozen gravel, some as big as a
large pea. Since that time 1 have
not suffered wish the gravel. I
highly recommend L. J. Hayden’s
medicine to all suffering humanity.
